Neither the gossip of spiced pickles nor the knitting of worsted shawls did she consider her vocation, for through her distorted features, foaming mouth, and frantic gestures, Apollo told men things which they already knew or which, by way of modernity, they inter- preted in the light of their own experience. Men there be who have cast aspersions on the good lady ' s character — nay, mere — who have diminished her reputation by multiplying her personality into Iwelve Sibyls. But did she not serve pink tea and water wafers and chronicle small beer to wave-worn Aeneas? If further furbishing of her existence were needed, look to the twentieth century bargain hunter. I o 1 arquin the Proud she offered to sell her nine books of mystic lore. 1 wice he refused to pay her price. Twice she burned three volumes. And then, ' 1 were pity to haggle with a woman, was his sorry comfort when for the three lemaining books he paid the original value. Whether or not this deal in high finance points to the two fires and a failure of the pawnbroker ' s balls, it assuredly indicates the two fits and a fracture of the bargain counter. Let the statement that the Sibylline books were destroyed in 83 B. C. not shake your confidence in this Sibyl ' s prophetic utterances. The American eagle, for the nonce deserting the dollar-mark, received from the ancient p riestess her fluttering leaflets, and bore them to the office of High Priest Clippinger. The distorted features. however, the foaming mouth and frantic gestures of divine inspiration, the present editors modestly disclaim. Thus it comes that the 1911 Sibyl, instead of being written in Greek hexameter, is written in American limerick. I he present board, aside from the question of whether or not your graTid- mother was a monkey, has its remote forbears in the college of fifteen men, to whom Farquin entrusted the Sibylline books and who consulted them upon oc- casions of national danger. Such an occasion is the outflux into the world of a Senior class, panting to fire a volley of solidified knowledge into an inert humanity. Annual Sibyls were published from 1901 to 1905, and bi-annuals appeared in 1907 and 1909. It seems only fair to warn this roly-poly old world of the recon- struction preparing for it in the next four classes to graduate from Otterbein. And 5o this Sibyl ' s oracular mutterings are to introduce the world in general, as well as any wandering individuals from Mars, to Otterbein, its people, and its surroundings.

ZELLER THE ENTIRE COLLEGE, AND THE GIRLS OF COCHRAN HALL IN PARTICULAR, HAVE SUFFERED A BITTER LOSS BYTHE DEATH OF MISS ANNA V. ZELLER. DR. HENRY GARST 12 Y the death of Dr. Carst, the college has lost one of its best and most loVal friends. He has rendered invaluable service as president, teacher, and historian, having given thirty-six ears of continuous devotion to the institution. • . He gave of his nionev freelv, bv tens, bv hundreds, bv thousands, as the occasion might re- quire; but best of all b i far, through all these vears he gave hi r self. He T as a man of large rr.cld, ' sun croTvned, n ho lived above the fog in public dutv and private thinking. ' He was a iran of Cod. ' ' 13 ©tlrrbinu iHarrhiuiii mty (ErnuTU (Our IClnTr (Ottrrbnn In all the wide world I have ne ' er found a place Which Is to the eye so fair; — And where so much beauty and youth run apace. Where little is known of care; Where young men and maidens from near and afar Are gathered to learn of fame. Where teachers and students work with a will; — Old Otterbein is its name. CHORUS Oh, we ' re proud of our Alma Mater, Of the school that we love so well; — We ' ve flunked in our classes. Frolicked with lasses. Tied up the old college bell; — Oh, the boys are the swellest fellows. And the girls, they are just as fine; Come let us be singing. Laurels be bringing. To crown our loved Otterbein. Tho ' few are her numbers she takes no back seat When ranked with the best of schools; Her students go out and are ne ' er known to fail. For well have they learned the rules. In games and in life it is ever the same. He wins who in brains is clear; And Otterbein stands ahead in it all. For nothing has she to fear. We must not forget for the right e ' er to stand When pressed by the foe to yield. E ' en though, at the time, naught of light can we see. Have courage for God will shield! The school that we love has for aye stood in line For all that can progress make. And thru the long years she has e ' er put her trust In Him who can give and take! G. G. Grabill, ' 00. 14 15 LATIN Ilaec studia adulesccntiam alunt, senectutem oblect- ant, secundas res ornant, advcrsis jierfugium ac solacium prarebcnt, dclectant domi, non impediunt foris, per- noctant nobiscum peregrinatur, rusticantur. — Cicero. GEORGE SCOTT. Litt.D., Ph.D., Professor of Latin Language and Literature fireat ScDttl The only man on eartli — Hercules excepted — who has successfully made a return trip from Pluto ' s realms. This daring ex- ploit was accomplished last summer during his stay in Italy. He can read Latin backwards with the book downside up. Dr. Scott is jolly, lively, and witty. Never try to play a joke on him for you will be 1 eaten at your own game. : IATIIKMATICS I ' ormed on the good old plan, A true and brave and honest man! Loathing pretense, he did with cheerful will What others talked of while their hands were still. — W ' hitticr. FRANK E. MILLER, Ph.D. Dresbach Professor of Mathematics Dr. Miller is a faithful and energetic promoter of his alma-mater. The Freshie, under his able directions, dives into the depths of Euclid as a summer bather dives into the Atlantic, never to emerge. He can prove that two times two are six, or that a Soph is half as big as he thinks he is, or that a Freshman can talk to infinity without being wound up. PHILOSOPHY To him who looks upon the world rationally, the world in its turn presents a rational aspect. — Hcgcl. THOMAS J. SANDERS, Ph.D., Professor of Philosophy To know him is to love him. It would be difficult to find a per- son who has the welfare of Otterbein University and student body more at heart than Dr. Sanders. His motto is that of Socrates, Know thyself. This marvelous teacher of philosophy is nowhere more at home than when he is leading the student into a realization of himself. Any person who has had the privilege of sitting at the feet of this Gamaliel is, indeed, fortunate. I.ATI.X This fellow is wit s peddler. — Shakcsfcarc. RUDOLPH H. WAGONER, A.M., Principal of Martin Doehm AcaJemy; Instructor in Latin and Mathematics. I- ' lunko, flunkere, faculty, fire us. Kudy has a style peculiar to Rudy. Here is a sample: .Mr. Ilollingshcad, C.eorge ] rnest, l pper Sandusky, R. F. D. No. 4. Vyan lotte Co., Mifflin Township, I ' leasant Hill Farm, will you magnanimously erect yourself at right angles to terra firma and pro- ceed with a perambulating discourse upon the grammatical syntax of the ponderous, intricate passages of the fortissima stipendia de maximo Ca-sarc? 16 HISTORY AXD ECO.wJMICS History is a mighty drama, enacted upon the the- atre of time, with suns for lamps and eternity for back- ground. — Car I vie. CHARLES SNAVELY, Ph.D., Professor of History and Economics Sunny Jim has a way of his own. He teaches in the same style he rides his bicycle. In addition to his push-qualities, he has a keen sense of humor. Every full moon he condescends to break the monot- ony of the class room with a dry joke. He who sees the point is for- ever envied bv his classmates for his keenness. GERMAN iDrn uirr Drn Srstrtt sfinrr Ecit grttug CSrthau. brr bat grlrbt fur allr Zritrti. — Srhillrr ALMA GUITNER, A.M., Professor of German Language and Literature Our little German Miss Guitner ' s big- smile is as famous as her long exams. The only time her good nature is not in evidence is when some careless student calls her beloved German Dutch. She has the happy faculty of being able to see a joke, even when it comes her own way. LITERATURE Literature is the garden of wisdom. — Ellis. SARAH M. SHERRICK, Ph.D., Professor of English Literature Dr. Sherrick fills the chair of English Literature with grace and dignity. She is the Gibraltar of Otterbein. Students buffeted about by Latin and Greek frequently seek refuge in her safe harbor, where they alwaj ' s find a secure mooring. Miss Sherrick has traveled extensively and always brings something of interest to her classes. GREEK All are born to observe order but few are born to establish it. — Joubert. REV. NOAH E. CORNETET, A.M. Registrar; Professor of Cree}( Language and Literature Professor Cornetet has the reputation of having perfect order in his classrooms. Animals of every species, especially the pony, are his abhorrence. Woe to the student who expects to ride thru his classes. He might as well try to ride a wild western broncho as a Greek verb. Altho he is a stiff disciplinarian, the final figures in the big book ' are always all right. 17 r.ip.i.K W ' itliin that awful volume lies ' I ' lif mystery of mysteries. 5f0 ;. EDMUND A. JONES, A.M.. Ph.D., Department of Bible and Missions Our jdiialir is a wonderful man. lie is full of idears. His an- cestry goes back to the .Mayflower. He is an educator, a veteran of the Civil War, c.x-state school commissioner, author, and a member of the . mcrican History Club. For over twenty years he had control of the Ohio teachers ' reading circle. Rut his greatest achievement is his mas- I rful knowledge of the Bible. CHEMISTRY Science is a good piece of furniture for a man to have in an upper chamber, provided he has common sense on the ground floor. — Holmes. LOUIS AUGUSTUS WEINLAND, A.M., Professor of Chemistry That Prof. Weinland lias both on the third floor of the science building where he reigns supreme is Perfectly Obvious. Like King . colus of old, controlling the winds, he rules over the chemicals, one molecule of which set free by an inexperienced hand, would drive one otT the campus. He has the good will of every student and his That ' s all right is one of the most pleasant things heard in the class- room. PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY I love to rove amidst the starry heights. To leave the little scenes of earth behind. — Rodd. WILLINGTON ORLANDO MILLS, A.M., Professor of Physics and Astronomy Prof. Mills is a man of such sternness that the boldest blutTcr hesi- tates before entering his class without due preparation. P)y means of this glowing characteristic, he holds a place of fear and reverence in the heart of every student. His slogan is: No victory without great labor. The motto of his students is: Throw Physics to the dogs. P.IOl.OC.Y Jesters do often prove prophets. — Sliahcs care. EDWIN POE DURRANF, A.M., Professor of Biology and Ceology This IS the best course in biology ever given in this institution. in see I ' ve learned a few things in the past few years. — K. P. D. Prof. Durrant spends a few days each week in Otterbein as a rec- itation from his strenuous duties at Ohio State. His ambition is to inspire in his students the Utopia of his dreams (O. S. U.). His greatest pleasures are in running up his classe ), giving exams, and joking. 18 PUBLIC SPEAKIXG Your fair discourse hath been as sugar, Making the way sweet and delectable. — Shakcsl carc. HARRY HELTMAN, B.S., Professor of Public Spea}(ing Our Old Man Eloquent is a recent addition to the faculty. His famous remedy for all rhetorical defects is Charcoal. In fact tlie word is so instilled in the minds of freshmen that it bubbks forth on all occasions and at any time of the day or night. If his Charcoal ' ' -fails to cure, his hypnotic glances never do. He is fond of philcsoiin- izing. His favorite topic of philosophic exposition to fresh;iien is Love. His favorite audience girls, singly and single -.referred. RHETORIC Rhetoric is reason well dressed and argument put in order. — Collier. EDNA GRACE MOORE, A.M., Professor of Rhetoric After sitting for two years in the presence of this cheerful teacher, we Juniors regret very much that we are no longer to be permitted to enjoy her excellent instruction. Miss Moore has a sweet dispo.cition. She is charming, brilliant, and entertaining. Although she is compelled to read scores of freshmen ' s themes, she is never pessimistic. . perfect woman, nobly planned, to warn, to comfort, and command. FREXCII Language is a city to the building of which every human being brought a stone. — E)ncrson. SHIRLEY T. WING, A.B., Acting Professor of French Obituary of Shirley T. Wing of Columbus, O., aged six years. This fair-haired boy passed away from a sinful world after sutfering for a few hours. His sudden demise was the result of fright pro- duced by the rustle of a skirt. He leaves behind to be mourned by all The Irregular V Erbs and his French classes. Seriously, Professor ' ing is a cultured and well educated young man. He spent several years at Oxford, where he held a Cecil Rhodes scholarship. EXGLISH HISTORY AND CI ICS History makes us some amends for the shortness of life. — Skclton. JAMES PORTER WEST, A.M., English History and Civics You know Professor — yes you know. He lives on West Main street. He always wears his hair just so. His manner ' s hard to beat. This large man with a child ' s voice has been the victim of many chicken robberies. One of the joys of his life is to introduce the speakers who appear on the Citizens Lecture Course. 19 .AIATHF.MATICS Life is one liorrid grind. — Slwkesf care. SAMUEL JACOB KIEHL, A.B., Assistant Professor of Mathematics Diiilgor won his first spurs in Otterbcin by malcing the most daring cliicken robbery that ever blotted the pages of our history. That event occurred just after the flood. In fact, he stayed so long that the faculty finally adopted him. I,IL!K. kV ' ■Rooks, — Lighthouses erected in the great sea of time. — I F l ! ' (?. ANNA DELL LA FEVER, Ph.B.. Assistant Librarian This lady is always at her post in the information bureau. She seems untiring in her searches for those obscure and obsolete refer- ences she is called upon to unearth. Through it all she is optimistic and always wears a smile. LIBRARY Some books are to be tested, other to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested. — Bacon. TIRZA L. BARNES, B.S., Librarian Misj Barnes is chief executive of the silence department and gov- erns witii a heart of stone. The cosy nooks and corners are to be used for study only and study alone. Rules is rules, is her motto. Xo noi.se of :.ny kind is tolerated in her dominion. BIOLOGY AND GEOLOGY Geology gives us a key to the patience of God. —Holland. JOHN WALDO FUNK, A.B., Professor of Biology and Geology This gentleman i; known particularly for his vicious and heartless methods of dissecting wild beasts. In his classes in biology he went so far as to liken our own human body unto that of the earthworm. The upper classmen rebelled at such a thought, but the freshmen are still strong adlicrents of the faith. 20 MUSIC Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast. To soften rocks or bend a knotted oak. — Congrcvc. GLENN GRANT GRABILL, Director of the Conservatory Under the direction of this ■ Huropean trained musician, the Con- servatory has reached a high degree of excellence. A word of praise from him counts for much. As a teacher he can ' t be beat. His favorite brand of gum is Spearmint. MUSIC Music so softens and disarms the mind That not an arrow does resistance find. ' — Waller. FRANK JORDAN RESLER, Ph.B., Instructor in Voice Everyone loves Dad. He and his little dears, as he calls them, need no eulogy — they warble their own. ' hen his pet phrase, For Heaven ' s sake, frightens the dears into a panic, his I love you dearly, always quiets them. His jokes always take, for he tells when to laugh. MUSIC Nature was here so lavish of her store That she bestowed until she had no more. — Brozcn. MAUD ALICE HANAWALT, Instructor in Piano If anyone ever gets through liss Ilanawalt ' s finger gymnastics without having his fingers deformed or getting his disposition ruined he is lucky. But when he once recovers he is sure to be able to per- form any stunt imaginable on the piano. She rivals Leschetizky him- self when it comes to handling the piano. MUSIC There is a sadness in sweet sound That quickens tears. LUCELLE GILBERT, Instructor in Violin This musician-haired boy has in one brief year established his repu- tation as a violinist. He has also proved himself an able leader of the college band and orchestra. Greater still is his wonderful power of im- personating. He stars most as a representative of the Big Four babboon family. 21 ART The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection. — Michael Atigclo. ISABEL SEVIER SCOTT, Direclor of the School of Art Mrs. Scott ' s great vocation is knocking — copper. Karly in the morning she can be seen walking down College avenue toward Lam- bert Mall, nodding and smiling pleasantly to everyone. INIrs. Scott has a motherly way about her that wins the hearts of all the students. .Nothing pleases the boys more than an invitation for an evening at the . ' cott residence, for Mrs. Scott certainly knows how to entertain. ART In the art of design, color is to form what verse is to prose. — Jamison. LUELLA C. SOLLERS. Assisianl in Art Even though Luella has lately attained the distinguished position of a member of the faculty, yet she is still one of us, and is in for as much fun as anyone. She is a hard worker, a good student, a good friend, and an ardent reader of the epistles of Paul. Great was her agitation when she found that one of these epistles was lost. A room hung with thoughts. — Reynolds ART pictures is a room hung with DAISY CLIFTON, B.F.A., Irnlruclor in China Painting and Water Color She ' s a Daisy all right. Her smiling face and rainbow apron are ihe sunshine of the . rt Department. Among her many arts is that of stiuinting at her work and still looking pretty. But her greatest art is tlint of winning friends and staunch ones, too. REIJGIOX Religion crowns the statesman and tlic man. Sole source of ]niblie and of jirivatc peace. — Young. REV. SAMUEL F. DAUGHERTY. A.M., B.D. College Pastor When we tell you that our college pastor has faced the critical eye i ( the faculty and student body for five years with nothing but praise from all, we have told the whole story. MUSIC r.ive me some music; music, moody food Of us that trade in love. — Shakespeare. VERNON ELLSWORTH FRIES, Mus,B., Instructor in Piano Every faculty must have its youngest memlier, and this is It (ladies excluded). He is a natural musician. He can play with his right hand, with his left hand, or both at one time. It is even said that when an infant he played with his toes. His favorite students are girls. MUSIC Her step is music and her voice is song. — Bailey. GRACE DENTON, Instructor in Piano and Voice This tall, slim, slick sapling hails from the woodlands (Sylvania) of northern Ohio. ] Iiss Denton is a valuable addition to our social functions, for her singing and playing are always in demand. She dotes on her chaperoning ability, but some of tb.e girls, to be n the safe side, prefer an older head. MUSIC Oh, it came over my ear like the sweet south wind that breathes upon a isank of violets, stealing and giving odor! — Shakespeare. LULU MAY BAKER, A.B., Instructor in Piano Miss Baker is known as a thorough teacher and is well liked by her students. She is spending the year in Berlin, where she is toning down her dignity and also studying under the great German masters. We hope that she will not acquire German customs to the e.xtenr of in- troducing pretzels and after dinner coffee (?) into Otterbein society. MATROX We sail the sea of life; a calm one finds. And one a tempest, and the voyage o er,_ Death is the quiet haven of us all. — U ' orJszeortI-. ANNA V. ZELLER, Matron of Cochran Hall Just as the Sibyl was ready for press and it was impossible to change the copy, we learned of the death of Iiss Zeller. For five years she has nobly filled her position as matron of Coch- ran Hall. During that time she has made many friends among both the boys and the girls. Although her position was i. dimcult one to rill, she was always kind and had the welfare of all at heart. She will be greatly missed and her place will be hard to fill. — Editor. 23 I ' lIVSICAI. TRAIXIXC Sir, your wit ambles well, it goes easily. — Shakespeare. R. S. WAMBOLD, A.B., Physical Director for Men This is our . cliille . It is said that lie j fained his superhuman strenjrth by a carefully regulated diet, consisting chiefly of sauerkraut. Usually we think of the German as being slow, but in this one we have a man quick in wit as well as physical action. He is one of those jocular pon]ilc wlmm tlie fellnus all like and who is respected by all. I ' lIVSlCAL TK.MXIXC. hysical culture is as necessary to the body as food. -Cicero. ' CATHERINE CONKLING THOMAS, Physical Director for Women Miss Tliomas is a wonder. With her interesting games she trans- fiirms the homesick Freshies into contented girls. She reduces the heads of the Sophs to ordinary size by means of head fle.xure exercises. Ikr dumb-bell exercises develop the muscles of the Jvmiors and makii them strong warriors. By lu-r magical wand she transforms the Seniors into peaceable creatures. MOXHV It you make money your god it will plague you like the LVt]. — Fielding. W. O. BAKER, Secretary ami Treasurer .Mr. liaker came to (Jtterbein at the dispersion if the Jews and has Imn lure ever since. Every student, past, present, and future, knows him. I ' lven the fathers at home are occasionally reminded of l..s ex- istence by his Please remit letters. If a penny once gets into his grasp you may as well say farewell to it forever. 1 !-: I-; X c 1 1 I. a ' ie est un combat. — . Icriince. ALZO PIERRE ROSSELOT, A.M., Professor of Romance Languages and Literature This frenchman ' s special distinction is in keeping his class awake. lU- paces the floor like a caged lion and is bluffed just about as easily. Ill- always was a shark at French and there ' s no telling what he will lie when he returns from France, where he is studying in the University of Paris. 24 (§nt Slamtora These pages still would something lack To make their tales complete If naught were said about the men Who serve us all the week. There ' s Hams who through all the year Has dene his duty well; He ' s swept the halls and cleaned the walls. And rung the college bell. In winter when the wind is keen And rooms are cold and drear, Of Mr. Glaze we think at once, Then he ' s the one to cheer. For he ' s the man at the heating plant, And his efforts are unceasing To regulate the temperature, That halls be warm and pleasing. The Association parlors and the Gym Well aired, neat, and clean. Are cared for by our Mr. Moon, For here he is supreme. The Library and Lambert Hall Likewise show work well done. And tho he ' s firm, he ' s very kind And pleasant to every one. We ' ll not forget their usefulness. They ' re obliging, good, and kind. A better lot of janitors ' Twere pretty hard to find. 25 2G 27 Ntnrtrnt Slntrn Colors: Purple and Gold Yell Whickety! Whack!

Yes, we tried to keep it a secret, but in Sf . spite of all our efforts the news leaked out and our secret was one that be- longed to the whole school. The class undaunted proceeded to carry out their plans. But, lo! when we went to take the car at the corner of Walnut and State streets we were met by a reception com- mittee consisting of Sophomores and Preps. All, however, were not powerful enough to prevent the Class of 1911 from journeying to its destination. I hey followed us, it is true, but were not able to disturb our festivities. The fact that the Class of 1911 had triumphed in this was but an indication of the victories of the next four years. The class has made many friendships with students of other classes. Although tl ' .ere have been many battles over black and red and purple and gold, still we are firm friends. There is not space to describe the fearful night when Zeigler, Bossart, and others were unceremoniously baptized in Alum Creek; the scrap on the third floor of the main building and another scrap of later date — — ? Throughout the entire college course the Class of 1911 has won many victories. In oratory we have always been at the front. We have always been represented on the debating teams and have won our share of the inter-class athletic contests in spite of the fact that many of our best players were disqueilified on account of their positions on the varsity teams. As a crowning feature of its work the class has determined to give its Alma Mater a new athletic field. That the class will succeed in this project is assured by the zeal and determination of the different members, led by Jimmy, our chief solicitor. 29 Glenn Castle Arnold Van Buren Philophronea W ' itli odorous oil tliy licad and hair are sleek.

Cloyd has always been a very good boy in school, for which every one will vouch. He is a frequent visitor at the art room, assiduously devoting his time to water color, while Fay decorates china made for two. He is a good fellow, never indulging in riotous conduct.

Wise frcim the top of his head — up. Bandy came to Otierbein thinking that tSe school was founded for him, but soon found out differently. He has adjusted himself to conditions very admirably, in spite of his early attempts to adjust con- ditions to himself. He is a good scout and a good student. The last two years of his college life have been saddened somewhat by the abs?nce of Mabel. Sarah has made him happy instead. :J0 ' alter Reuben Bailey estervills P.iilomatnea Varsity Baseball (I); Varsity Football (I), (3), (4); Class Treasurer (4).

His work at foot- ball has been very creditable and the team will lose a valuable mem- ber by the graduation of its old center.

Here we have an active, energetic man, small but mighty. He seems to have the peculiar power of making others see things just as he does. He has had a varied experience with Cupid, but will doubt- less come out victor, as he has the faculty of winning feminine hearts at any peril. 31 Ada May Buttermore ....

So far as any one knows, I ' lis is due to the man at home who is patiently waiting Ada ' s graduation. She is conscientious almost to a fault, quiet, and studious. Grace Coblentz Weslerville Cleiorhetea Y. W. C. A. Cabinet (I), (2); Vice President C. E. (2); Class Advisory Board (4); Secretary of Class (4). Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet. Being impressed by the duty of loyalty, Grace has elected to lake her degree from the college of her own town. She is a quiet, indus- trious student, not often the victim of failure. It is her chief delight to delve into the deepest depths of the most profoundest psychological ' questions of the day.

(4); Baseball (I); Class Basketball (1), (2), (3); College Band (3), (4); As- sistant Editor Aegis (4). ' Tall as a lamp-post and a little mite thinner. This gentleman is the proud possessor of a beautiful bass voice which soothes the savage breasts of all who chance to hear him. Yes, proud, who can deny it, when they see him saunter up the avenue with his head at such an angle that it would seem to endanger his own comfort. Though he is not a star in his classes, he always manages to pass the examinations. Bessie Loula Daugherty Westerville Philalethea Member College Chorus (I), (2), (3). (4); Member Public Speaking Council (4) ; Vice President Christian Endeavor (3); Devotional Committee Chairman (2); Bible Study Leader (4). True modesty is a discerning grace. If Bessie so dislikes that odious epithet of a preacher ' s daug ' n- ter, she should consider matters very carefully before becoming a preacher ' s wife. This modest and unassuming co-ed is pious and very faithful in her attendance at all religious services. One of the most familiar sights of the students of Otterbein is their omnipres- ence on the college campus. Jesse Jacob Dick Bucyrus Pii:lomathea College Debating Team (2) and (4) ; President Public Council (3) ; Editor of Hand Book (3) ; President of C. E. (3). Exhausting thought and hiving wisdom with each year. What have we here? Another product from the fertile soil of Crawford county. This boy of giant intellect is beloved by all the faculty. Though quiet and unassuming, he has won many friends, to one of whom he has shown especial loyalty. He expects to amasS his fortunes in far-off Montana. 33 Sarah May Dick Bucyr Philalethea President Y. W. C. A. (4) ; Chairman Nominating Com- mittee Y. W. C. A. (3) ; Chairman Missionary Committee Y.

She will be et up by tbe cannilials in the plains of Tinibuctoo. None would suspect this quiet, little girl of being a senior. Yet she has formed high aspirations, for she hopes some day to leach the heathen children to say their A B C ' s, May will, no doubt, prove a cheerful antidote for the dark Africans. She goes about with a good-natured smile and is always ready to help any one out of a difficulty. George William Duckwall . . . New Madison Philophronea Chairman of Devotional of C. E.

Here is another of this noble class who spends his odd moments in singing the baby to sleep. His former occupation was that of a pedagogue, but he has aspirations of becoming a missionary. George ' s greatest delight is to recite and he always laughs at a pro- fessor ' s jokes. He is always cheerful. Robert Ernest Emmitt Dunbridge Ph ilomattiea Assistant Business Manager of the Otterbein Review (3) ; Business Manager of the Otterbein Review (4). To busiiK-ss that wc love, vc rise betimes and go to it with ilelis ' it. Bob s hobby is business. It is a common occurrence to find him standing on some corner earnestly conversing on some new business proposition. He has been one of the chief promoters of the new athletic field, being very active in the initiatory part of this great un- dertaking. Bob is a good fellow and we can scarcely realize how the school will get along without him. He assures us that his posterity will some day grace the halls of old O. U. :u Charles Cornelius Flashman . . . Westerville Philophronea Debating Team (1). What place is so rugged and so homely that there is no beauty, if you only have a sensibility to beauty? Charlie is a native of the cold North, having spent his boyhood days in the northern penisula of Michigan. It was not too cold, how- ever, to prevent the development of Charlie ' s fertile brain, as he has well shown. Becoming imbued (?) with the Otterbein spirit, he took unto himself a wife last year. Vernon Ellsworth Fries .... Dayton Philophronea It is in learning music that many hearts learn love. We find in this gentleman the musician of the Senior class, ex- celling Liszt, Beethoven, and others. His lime is very aptly divided between teaching music and college work; in the latter, however, he is often found trying that old game of bluffing. He is fond of the ladies in general and one lady in particular. He has a blush which is likely to appear at any embarrassing moment. Homer Randall Gifford Westerville Ph ilomathea Member Track Team (I), (2), (3); Captain Track Team (4). Something between a help and a hindrance. Giff says, Make it short and sweet. So here goes: Give jne a girl before all else, and plenty of time to primp. 35 Simon Ambrose Grill Lewisburg Philomalhea Bible Study Leader (3), (4); Mission Study Leader (3); Chairman of Y. M. C. A. Membership Committee (4) ; Vice President of C. E. (4). Xot learned in court nor versed in wit, But loved by those who knew him best. Grill is excitable, but hard workmg and very consistent. It is not known why his hair is so white. His ambition is the ministry, and, judging from appearances, he will make good on the financial part of it. He always has a point in summer school and occasionally at other limes. He is destined to marry happily. ESTELLA GlFFORD Westerville Philalethea President C. E. (I); Member Pin Committee (4); Mem- ber Intercollegiate Committee Y. W. C. A. (3). Slie is always at ease who laughs. Here is another home product. Stella is a remarkable composer of funny poetry and has the faculty of making people laugh, whether they want to or not. Some say she is involved in a love affair; if such IS the case we only hope it will not spoil her good humor and sunny disposition. She has been known to be somewhat fussed while reciting in class, especially when expounding some profound math- ematical problem. Thomas Clarence Harper Dayton, Va. Philophronea Debating Team (3) ; President of Public Speaking Coun- cil (4). If y ni wi h to ruin yourself, marry a rich wife. This silver-tongued preacher from Old Virginia is solemn, digni- fied and stately. Much of his time has been taken up with family affairs and the ministry, a thing which has tended to keep him oul of prominence in college affairs. 36 Clarence Mark Hebbert Bloomdale Philophronea Y. W. C. A. Hand Book Committee (3); Glee Club (4). Science seldom renders men amiable. Mark ye — this is one of our truly brilliant students. The field of science has been completely probed by his keen, intellectual eye. His success as a student is probably due to the fact that very little of his time is idly spent with those of the fairer sex. Jacob Foraker Hatton Johnstown Philophronea Football (2), (4); Director of College Band (,1); Otter- bein Quartette (3), (4); Glee Club (4). Of earthly goods the best is a good wife. Jolly and short and fat! Hatton is famous for his musical ability, of which fame he is very deserving. He was destined to make a Weston, but lost out by over-traming. His ability as a reader is known all over the United States. He can even make Dutch telephones talk when they have no connections with the switchboard. He preaches occasionally. John Thompson Hogg Slippery Rock, Pa. Philophronea Football (3), (4); Editor of Aegis (4); Manager of Basketball Team (4); Chairman of Y. M. C. A. Bible Study Committee (4). Reserve is the truest expression of respect towards those who are its objects. This handsome young man is quite scholarly. He is of a calm and easy-going disposition, which has won for him the love and re- spect of all. We are certain that he fell in love, but the certainty of his intentions to marry soon has not been proved. 37 Robert Cleveland Hummell . . Canal Winchester Philophronea T I inly sing because I must. He takes a daily nap in French, but usually wakes up in time to read. Another one of his favorite pastimes is smoking Old Virginia cubebs. Laugh and grow fat, seems to be the golden rule of this student ' s life. Bob is a happy-go-lucky fellow, with only one care in the world, a wife. He is a good student, but can bluff most admirably if the occasion demands. He is often seen pushing a baby carriage around when the weather permits. Arthur Elmer Hughes . . . Bowling Green Philomathea Chief Crammer (I), (2), (3), (4). L ' p! up! my Friend, and quit your books, Or surely you ' ll grow double. Governor has the reputation of having carried more college work than any other person who has ever been at O. U. — foolisii lad! He fell in love with his books, shut himself off from all other college activities, only to grind, grind, grind. Withal, he is a fine fellow, good-hearted, and an agreeable companion. Re Kephart John Wilkinsburg, Pa. Ph ilomatriea Baseball Team (3) ; Football Team (4) ; Basketball Team (4); President Senior Class (4). Tlierc ' s honesty, manhood, and good fellowship in tliee. Behold the President of the Senior Class! And a right good man he is, beloved by all who know him. Has been content with bachelor- hood while in College, but Somewhere the sun is shining. 38 Claude Delmont Locke Weslerville Philomathea Class Basketball (3), (4); Captain of Class Basketball Team (4); Secretary of Tennis Association (4). For science is like virtue, its own exceeding great reward. Lockie IS quite a lady ' s man; i. e., it seems so. He has never been known to miss a game or lecture. He takes a serious view of things, which is much in keeping with the life of a young scientist. Walter Leroy Mattis Philomathea President of C. E. (3); Chairman of Y. M. C. A. Mis- sionary Committee (4); Varsity Football (2), (3) and (4). If music be the food of love, play on; give me excess of it. It hurts his lips to smile! This, however, is no discredit to him, for he is as congenial as he is quiet and unpretentious. He is dis- tinguished as an orator, ranking with Webster and Beecher. For- tunately Bessie will also graduate this year, so that he will have her to share his joys and sorrows as he does now. He will be a preacher, and if he goes after that with the same determination as in carrying the pigskin, we are certain of his success. Edith Gertrude Meyer Brookville Cleiorhetea President Cochran Hall Association (4) ; Chairman Bible Study Committee Y. W. C. A. (4) ; Member Devotional Committee C. E.

When the smile comes, look out, for it is one of those broad smiles you read about. She is quiet, studious, and virtuous. 39 Lewis M. Moore Bloomdale Philophionea Organizer of Otierbein R. E. A. (3) ; President Otterbein R. E. A. (4). Xo ni.-iii can litlicT live piously or die righteously without a wife. In this class there is at least one born poet, and that is Moore. His poetry is of frequent occurrence. He is exceptionally energetic and possesses not a little ability. His oratory is mostly of the pulpit type and his music consists of lullabys. He is also a mathematician and can tell you how to square a circle. Grover Cleveland Muthersbaugh . . . Shelby Philomathea Debating Team (3). ' One of the seven hlunders of the world. Giover started to College too young. Has been content to stay at his study table much of the time, perusing the pages of history, science, and literature. He frequently makes himself ridiculous by his (lights of gesticulated oratory. One of his favorite pastimes is argu- ing. However, he goes after everything with a vim that is sure to win. Chloe Zela Niswonger Dayton Philalethea Recording Secretary Y. W. C. A. (3) ; Chairman Devo- tional Committee (3); Secretary Cochran Hall Association (3); Member Executive Board Cochran Association (2). A mind full of knowledge is a mind that never fails. A typical college girl — brighter than she will admit, but never a grind. She is the possessor of a goodly mixture of dignity, humor, jollity, and good nature. She adores mathematics and takes every course offered in it. Rhea Beatrice Parlette Dayton Philalethea Secretary Class (4) ; Recording Secre ' .ary C. E. (3) ; Member Lookout Committee C. E. (3) ; Member Bible Study Committee Y. W. C. A. (2) ; Member Social Com- mittee Y. W. C. A. (I); Member Intercollegiate Com- mittee Y. W. C. A. (3). She is a winsome wee thing. She is a bonnie wee thing. One of those sweet, unassuming little people who always care- fully weigh the advisability of an act before going ahead. Rhea takes a peculiar delight in going without a hat the whole year round, for don ' t you know, Jack doesn ' t wear any. She is a dainty, deli- cate, fluffy-ruffle little creature, but a good student for all that. E. Cora Prinkey Mill Run. Pa. Cleiorhetea I am an old maid! and though I suffer for it, I must change my style and leave off gay society. Oh! I never did anything. Just put me down as a cross, cranky old maid and I will be satisfied. This from a preachess. She is a shar k and a grind, but will be a credit to any man who has pluck enough to approach a lady with such stern prejudices against matrimony. Benjamin Franklin Richer . . . Peru, Ind. Philophronea It is not good tliat man should be alone. Business Manager of Aegis (3); Debating Team (3). Learning of the superior advantages offered at O. U., Ben en- tered here in his Sophomore year. He has always conducted himself in a very gentlemanly manner and you can always gel a smile from him. It did not take him very long to get the Otterbein spirit, for he has already taken unto himself a wife. Next to Governor Hanly, this Hoosier is the most distinguished man from Indiana. Charles Finney Sanders Westerville Philophronea Football (3). (4); Baseball (I). (2), (3); Basketball (1), (2), (3); Basketball Captain (3); Class President (1). I.ove is the beginning, the middle and end of everything. This handsome young man is quite scholarly and athlel.c. Tink. the athlete, is known far and wide and has, no doubt, won much fame for his alma mater on the athletic field. Yes, foolish boy, he has already invested in a diamond ring. And he is so youn .

Missionary Committee (3) ; Track Team (I) and (2); Assistant Business Manager of Aegis (3); Class President (3); President of Y. M. C. A. (4). Tlie flower of meekness on a stem of grace. This lad with the pious and ministerial air is not a preacher. Although he is a firm believer in his own opmions, next to Moses he is the meekest man. He rejoices in the fact that Lilly could stay in town this year. He has loved but once and to that one he has ever been true. All will miss him when he leaves, for he has been in school occasionally for a number of years. Leviah McDonald Sherrick Scottdale. Pa. Philalethe Librarian Cochran Hall Association (4); Tieasurer Sunday School Class (4); Cochran Hall Reporter for Otterbein Review (4). ' True happiness (if under.stood) Consists alone in doing good. This happy co-ed is endowed with all the jollity and genuine good will that any one could ask. She has been known to participate in midnight pushes, even though her aunt is a faculty member. Her happiness is forever bubbling forth in snatches of joyous, jubilant songs. 42 HoLLis B. Simon Bloomdale Philophronea Second Football Team (I), (2); President Tennis Asso- ciation (4); Assistant Basketball Manager (4). What sweet delight a quiet life affords. Hollis has never been very prominent, but is generally known as a good fellow. He seldom talks much, and though he seems somewhat sober, it is not because he isn ' t happy. His faithfulness and persis- tence is sure to win for him a name in the field of science. He has used his enthusiasm in support of various college activities, and is a loyal supporter of the new athletic field work. John Allison Stringer Hopedale Philophronea Class Basketball (2), (3), (4); Captain of Class Basket- ball Team (2) ; Manager Track Team (4) ; Athletic Editor Aegis (4); Treasurer of Tennis Association (4). But you with pleasure own your errors past And make each day a critic on the last. From the insignificant town named Hopedale has come one of the greatest men of the present day, John Allison Stringer. Stringei began well with the ladies, but seems to have lost his nerve entirely. He says little but thinks much, yet carries with him no little self pride. Garnet Thompson Findlay Cleiorhetea Let the world slide. We are sorry, indeed, that this jolly, good-natured girl is a Senior, for she really owes us a couple more years, since she has been here just this year in pursuit of a Master ' s Degree. She is an easy-going sort of girl, without a care in the world, doesn ' t believe in working more than is prudent, and always looks on the bright side of things. Ross Thuma Lexington Philophronea It i natural to man to regard himself as the object of the creation, and to think of all things in relation to himself, and the degree in uliich they can serve and he iseful to him. More we have a man from the hills near Lexington, where our forefathers fought for their independence. But few of us have had the pleasure of an intimate acquaintance with him. Like all men raised in the mountains, he is stalwart, firm, and noble. Not quite a hermit, yet he is prone to shut himself off from society. He is given to scientific studies, especially chemistry. It is said that he went with a girl at one time. Ira David Warner Brookville Philomathea President Y. M. C. A. (2), (3); State Oratorical Contest (2); Stale Peace Oratorical Contest (2); President Athletic Board (3), (4); Member Varsity Football Team (3), (4); Winner of Russell Prize (3). I hive hut one, and only one, and she ' s the girl for me. This stately Senior is another to add length to the roll of graduates. Dignified though he may be, his dignity is a minus quan- tity when there is a class row on hand. He can tell you on very short notice where you can get the best looking picture taken, for I am representing. ... ' ?

Simon Fred Wenger Ne Philomathea Assistant Subscription Agent Otterbein Review (2) ; Local Editor Otterbein Review (3), (4); Secretary Otterbein Press Club (4); Vice President R. E. A. (4). He does, indeed, show some sparks that are like wit. Here we have the University wit! He is one who can crack a joke without cracking a smile.

Skinny has always been interested in athletics; so much so that his social life was somewhat neglected. But Dame Fate took matters in hand this year and a girl has changed things for the better. It cannot be said that he is handsome, but beneath the rough exterior is concealed a kind heart. 45 Charles Dennis Yates Latrobe, Pa.

He is one of those de- termined fellows who believe in having their own way in everything when possible. In spite of his busy life he has always been some- what of a society man. Yates says: Washington for me. Sara Hoffman Dayton Philaleth ilaletnea Nothing maintains its bloom forever. ' Yes, she lives in a world full of Joy, and is a happy, care-free piano-player. Her laughing eyes and golden locks have won for her a place of no little importance. Frivolous and gay though she may be at times, Sara can assume a dignity which would grace any Senior. Curtis Kumler Young Westerville Ph Ilomatnea Varsity Baseball (1), (2), (3). (4); Varsity Basketball (3), (4); Basketball Captain (4); Interclass Football (3). The desire of leisure is more natural than of business and care. Curt is best known as our star basketball captain. He has had more or less to do with the institution ever fince the Spanish War. Not over fond of study, which, perhaps, has caused his slightly bad disposition. He is mighty constant — ask Hazel. 46 -J -J X z X u o u u. O o 47 Colors: Maroon and Black Yell Wah Hoo! Wah Hoo!

Cook Ruth Detwiler Ha f.l Codner DwiGiiT John President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Yell Master 48 QIlasB litstnrtJ Two years ago there came to Otterbein University a class the Hke of which the world has never seen. The maidens beautiful, brilliant, and charming, and the youths handsome, polished, and manly, soon proved to the other classes that the class of 1912 was not to be looked at sneeringly or passed by lightly. During that first year of class existence, tho, they were reserved and shy — freshmen always are — their extraordinary talent and wonderful ability along all lines of college activity soon attracted the attention of the porvers that be. Bespectacled professors would wisely nod their heads as if to say, Whist ye! See the leaders of the coming gener- ation, and gaze lovmgly at the seekers after knowledge occupying the north side of the chapel. September, 1909, found them gracing the south chapel section, the maidens still more beautiful, the youths more polished, and with a stronger spirit of courage, daring, and loyalty which comes with experience. Proudly and defiantly during the Parliament the large red and black banner waved over the heads of the powerless freshmen and heroically the Class of 1912 protected it in the enemies ' rush to destroy it. The experiences of those two years as lower classmen have developed sane, liberal- minded juniors, whom even the seniors are forced to acknowledge as a shrewd, keen, lively class that does things. Hartman and Lambert are football stars; And Channing plays baseball ; Huber and John in ethics are rays of light; As likewise is Ralph Hall. And Percy and Edith of musical bent Draw out their notes long and fine ; And Hazel and Metzgar and Snyder and Smith In math and chemistry shine. McFarland and Bilsing debate with might And Reider leads the band; Flora and Moses soothe the senior class, And Zola lends a hand. Barbara and Harkins will act the play That Helen Converse writes ; Edith and Myrtle kill the germs That Mary Bolenbaugh sights; Marcellus and Leila and Ethel and Ruth In French class have no peers; Cook and Margaret pilot Association work, And Yabe the Volunteers. Florence and Ila are learning of heathen lands, Evarina studies trig abroad; Phinney and Lenora in drama class The villains and ghosts applaud. Here ' s to the Juniors! Of their fame and renown Every senior knows well the story ! AH hail to the Juniors! the class brave and strong. In whose honor and daring we glory. John Harvey Flora Philophronea Ind. ' Our Prexy As a general thing, an individual who if neat in his dress is neat in his morals. ' John is a product of Peru, but not of Peruna. He has never been known to lose his metal equilibrium, but fits himself to conditions and comes out with a smile. His neat appearance is undoubtedly due to the fact that he is well informed in the secrets of tailoring. He ' tends strictly to business whenever business demands, which is all the time. Zola Jacobs Cleiorheta Findlay Our Jacob Coolness and ahsence of heat and haste indicate fine qualities. As Zola came to us this year from Fmdlay College, her case is not so easily diagnosed as some others who have been with us longer. Nevertheless we feel that she is a valuable addition to the class. She is rather quiet when among those who have not made her ac- quaintance, but we feel this is only an assumed dignity and may be easily cast aside when the occasion demands. , DwiGHT John Philomathea Wilkinsburg, Pa. Our Babe True modesty is a discerning grace. Dwight, though usually asleep, is one of our intellectual pyramids and bids fair to have degrees enough to run clear across the front cover of a Sears and Roebuck catalogue before he completes his edu- cational pursuits. He is brim full of class spirit and has shed many a coat to protect its honor. 50 Sherman Bilsing Crestline Philomathea Our Editor Ambition is the germ fr om which all growth of nobleness proceeds. Sherman, our worthy editor-in-chief, is as loyal and generous- hearted as you could wish. He is always ready to lend a helping hand and has a smile for all. His class work is always up to tne standard and many times it soars far above. Lenore Eisele ..... Arcanum Philalethea The Wii Wit is an unexpected explosion of thought. Funny from start to finish. She says what she means, and means what she says. Lenore does not dabble much with society, for her heart is more devoted to learning. She can tell you anything in his- tory from the happenings in the Garden of Eden to the year 1911. She is an active, ambitious girl and will take a lemon from no one, but is rather given to handing them out to others. Roy L. Harkins ...... Burns, Kans. Philophronea Our Lawyer I love the tranquil solitiide and such society as is quiet, wise, and good. This Kansan emigrated to the Sunflower State from the well- known State of Pennsylvania. The earlier years of his life were spent teaching youngsters how to behave. The summers of the more recent years of his life have been passed as a harvester in the great wheat fields of Western Kansas. While in college he has chosen the quiet life. He is a deep thinker, but by no means bookish. Harky is a jolly good fellow and in general possesses sterling good qualities. 51 L.EiLA Bates Cleiorhela Rising Sun Our Domestic Scienlisl Her inodcst looks the cottage might adorn. Sweet as the primrose peeps beneath the tliorn. A thoroughly feminine girl, more for domestic bhss than for a famous career. Our Leila enduring, considerate, meek; Leila contrary, irrational, sweet, kind-hearted, yet cruel; obliging, perverse. That is why Parish wants her for belter or worse. Mary Bolenbaugh Philalelhea Canal X ' inches■;r The DacteriologisC r,ove makes fools of us all, big and little. To this delicate piece of femininity life is one huge germ after another; everything is over-run with that obnoxious, offensive pest, known as the germ. Mary has an intermittent love affair. Yes, think It over. Nevertheless, she is a jolly Junior and a good worker. KlYOSHI Yabe Phiiomathea Yamato, Fukushumaken, Japan The Sunn)) Man . propLT man a i one shall see in a summer ' s day. Proud we are, indeed, to boast of a member who belongs to the land of sunshine and flowers. Yabe has brought a good supply of sunshine with him from Japan and is alwa ys found scattering it abroad. He has a heart as big as the moon, which many times put some of us smaller-hearted people to shame. He is always found on the right side and exerts every power within him to make that side win. 52 Channing Malachi Wagner . . . Lancaster Philophronea Our Hans Jests — brains — fleas, that jump About among the slumbering ideas. Channing is our society idol. His life has but one blot upon it, which was made when he and other knavish chaps bummed their way on a freight to Cincinnati. Chan was determined to see the world. He is as well known in athletics as in society, and often seems more brave than Rome ' s most fearless Gladiator. He is now captain of O. U. ' s baseball team. Barbara Barringer Stofer Philalethea Bellville The Actress The world may dig in the dark, says slie, But the beam of the foot-lights beckon me. I ' ll do the Juliet balcony scene. And wear silk gowns of brilliant sheen. A Harrison Fisher girl. Being of an excitable and nervous temperament, she chatters like a magpie when aroused. She is a good reader and impersonator and displays considerable dramatic talent. Bob expects to attend a dramatic school in New York City when graduated from Otterbein. Jay B. Snyder .... . . Shauck Philophronea Our Philosopher His presence brings along with it the essence of a planted field. Some men live to think. Jay is of that type. In fact, he thinks so strenuously some times that he goes to sleep in class. While in school he has devoted most of his time to the pursuit of scientific knowledge and sometime will probably reveal to the world the prin- ciples of perpetual motion. 53 it Ralph W. Smith ..... Westerville Philomathea Our Cabinet Maimer A Iicart to resolve, a head to contrive, and a hand to execute. Ralph is one of those fellows whom it is a difficult matter to excite. He is truly public spirited. He could never be convinced that the fairer sex was of much importance until Ruth explained it to him, and if appearances do not deceive he is now thoroughly con- vinced. Helen Converse Philalethea Westerville The Literary Centus Look, then, into tliine heart and write. Beware! it is sacred ground upon which we tread when we speak of Helen, the wit, poet, satirist, soliloquizer, ad infinitum. Some day we can boast ourselves of the personal acquaintance of a world-wide famous author from the Buckeye State. With those huge, black, piercing eyes resting upon some innocent, insignificant individual, we can surmise that she is picturing in her mind a cartoon or joke for the SiBVL.

He is thinking seriously of matrimony. . ' 4 Mark A. Phinney . . . . Westerville Philophronea Our Papa The gracious dew of pulpit eloquence. Mr. Phinney is the second member of the class who has taken unto himself a wife. This has caused no little jealousy among the fair ones. He is a man of striking individuality, but is not what the aver- age person would call handsome. His wife says he is a woman ' s suff- rage enthusiast. His last words to the editors were: Beware! Fellow classmen. Edith Alice Gilbert Philalethea Germantown The Nurse Her fame has never widely spread, But her qualities of heart and head are never, never doubted. Kind, sensible, good-natured, and comfortable; neat in personal appearance, and practical in her ideas; she will make an excellent housewife. She is skillful in caring for and managing those who are ill. She has a patent on the recipe for tiol lemonades. ' Qjr Harry Charles Metzger Westerville Phi ithe The Mathematician Fullness is always quiet; agitation will answer for empty vessels only. This very quiet and unostentatious youth is one of the wisest and brightest of his class. He is destined to become an .Archimedes or some such noted genius. Yes, it is not always the prominent who possess real worth. Metz is a good fellow, but never a lady s man. 56 Alva Dean Cook Westerville Philomathea The Horse Trainer A ciiok conjuring a cookie. To some the word Cook is synonymous with the word deceit, but not so in this case. We have a Cook, born A. D. He always carries with him an East End smile. He does not believe in letting his studies interfere with his education. Dean is an all-round man. He gets up at five o ' clock, drives out into the country five miles to his farm, milks a dozen cows, comes back for seven o ' clock recitation, a little lab. work, a few more recitations, eats a sandwich on the way to football practice, presides over Y. M. C. A., after which he plays the bass viol in the college orchestra. Edith Bennett ..... Westerville Philalethea The Musician A beautiful woman is tlie paradise of the eyes. Winsome, sweet, graceful, neat. Tall and divmely fair; Tactful, charming, Channmg ' s darling. Agreeable everywhere. Her soul is filled with the art divine, Music enthralls her in chains benign, She warbles in every conceivable key, Rumplety, tumplety, do re, mi. ' Florence Sheller .... Claysville, Pa. Cleiorheta The Governess One witli more soul in her face than words on her tongue. That we do not know more concerning this quiet, unpretentious Junior is our loss, not hers. There is forever lurking about those beautiful celestial orbs a look of sad disappointment, the cause for which is generally unknown. Florence carries with her an air of timidity and reserve, thus making her intimate acquaintance impossible for those who do not have the courage to knock down the barriers of such a nature. She has a vast store of practical knowledge gained from the school room, and could undoubtedly give a good receipe for counteracting misconduct to any who might inquire. 56 Margaret Ellen Gaver . . McCuneville Cleiorhefa The Peace-Mal(er An effort made for the happiness of others lifts us above ourselves. Margaret has stopped school several limes to teach, but she always came back, and is back now to slay. She is a friend of everyone and loved by all. She can always be relied upon to do her part and just a little bit more. In other words, she goes the second mile. She has a patent on a little giggle that is all her own. She is very ambitious and is never found idling away her time. Evarena Harman Cleiorheta Lancaster The Housewife Laugh and be fat. Fair, fat and sixteen! A doctor ' s kid and beloved by all who know her. Evarena is often engaged in under-estimating her own ability, a thing which is a detriment to herself, rather than a fault. Her love affair is a mystery, even to her most intimate friends. That she has a love affair is proven conclusively, for she once blushed. MiLO Lloyd Hartman Philophronea West Salem Our BooI(Worm I entrench myself in my books, equally against sorrow and the weather. This brainy, brawny individual seems to have come to Otterbein by choice. He possesses a firm belief in his own ideas, which borders on the egotistical. One of his chief characteristics is his devotion to the study table. He had a point last year but the case is all off; now Milo 1$ always seen alone. 57 Charles Ralph Hall . Dayton Philomathea A Heari-Breal er Handsome is as handsome does. Charlie has been with the class from the start and will stay till the finish. He hails from Dayton, the city of handsome young men, and he is no exception. At French he is a star, as he is in track. He has the fashion of going with a girl until she becomes infatuated with his winning ways and then straightway flying off on a tangent and seeking praise elsewhere. Hazel Kathleen Codner . . . Canal Winchester Philalethea Our Scholar How wise one must be to be alwaj ' s kind. The most commendable thing about Hazel is the broad-mmded view she takes of things. Though very calm and accommodating, she possesses the faculty of rising up in righteous indignation. She is a staunch hater of all sham and is very frank yet pleasant in denouncing It. Her good nature is never affected by reverses. We feel certain that her lofty ambitions as to scholarship will be reached if the right fellow does not interfere too soon. Marcellus Albert Muskopf . . . Beach City Philomathea Our Scientist Kindness is the gnklcn cliain by wliich society is bound to.e;etlier. Here we have a genuine college man. He is a havd-working, persevering, and determined fellow, who seems to be of a calm and steady temperament. He is a staunch disbeliever in this business of gelling married while still in College, and will some day have it for- bidden. He is of a scientific turn of mind and bids fair to be the first expounder of the fifth dimension and the sixth sense. 58 Ethel Lucile Kephart .... Dayton Cleiorheta The Bright and Shining Light She who means no mischief does it all. Wherever there is fun there will Ethel be also. Mischief sparkles in her eyes and her mind is a hot-bed for pranks and trickery of all kinds. Although a possessor of Titian-colored hair, her temper is a minus quantity, thus proving to the human race once and for all that red hair and a hot temper do not go hand in hand. Keppie has a good store of class enthusiasm and is not at all miserly in its use. Frank Joy Reider .... Bowling Green Philomathea The Wind Jammer The more men talk, the more likely they are to do nothing else. This is the philosophical, psychological, metaphysical monstrosity of the class of 1912. His supply of words is limitless, boundless, and inexhaustible. On all occasions he can furnish hot air, which many times is given away without the asking. His attentions are lavished on girls in general and none in particular. On the other hand, all the gills fall in love with his cute little toupee. Myrtle Geneva Saul .... Dayton Philalethea The Songster And so she laughs and sings and acts. Here we have a product of Steele High School, that much- renowned center of learning in Dayton. Myrtle has but very few cares in the world and is never found forfeiting a good time for book larnin. She can play, she can sing, and she can read Deutsch like a king. She has a generous disposition and sometimes allows herself to be imposed upon. P «- 1 59 Guy Edison McFarland Philophronea Wcsterville Our Shoe Man ■■| love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so com- panionable as solitude. Mac has a very dignified and stately bearing. He is not at all addicted to the society habit, nor is he ever seen speaking to the ladies. He possesses the faculty of keeping quiet most of the time, but when he cuts loose in debate there is plenty doing. Ila May Bale ..... Westerville Philalethea The School Aiarm It is firmncFs that make? the gods on our side. This co-ed with her firm-set jaw and stern countenance, appeals to us all as being a girl with a purpose, let the purpose be whatso- ever it will. She has had valuable experience as a country school marm, and can tell just how one should proceed when applying the medicine for a misbehaved school boy. She is a firm believer in co- educational schools. Homer Parent Lambert Philophronea Ande 1, Ind. The Bachelor I,o e looks not with the eyes but witli the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. In Cupid we have an all-round man of sterling qualities. He has an admirably kind and congenial nature. His chief interest has been in athletics and to him we owe much for the standard to which our athletics have been raised. For two years he was O. U. football captain. Since Lucile graduated, he has been leading a strictly bachelor ' s life at the Lambert cottage. 60 Ralph William Moses .... Westerville Philomathea Our Florist Knowledge is like money, — the more a man gets the more he craves. Ralph is a curious combination of eccentricities. The poor fellow was once disappointed in love and since that time has never been the same. He has now become a hater of all women and scarcely glances at them as he paces nervously to and fro from classes. He knows how to star and has the scheme down to a fine art. Ruth Ora Detwiler Philalethea Connellsville, Pa. The WidoV) Domestic happiness is the end of almost all our pursuits and the common reward of all our pains. Here we have a painter of chma and embroiderer of linen. Just now she is the College Widow, Tink being in Wisconsin. She takes a great interest in all college activities. Her disposition is kind and gentle, but she is not afraid to give vent to her own opinions. Then she wails that she has said too much. Her genius will probably be domesticated. Percy Harold Rogers Philomathea The Vocalist Columbus She played it sad, with needless fear. Lest time should shake my wavering soul — Unconscious that her image there Held every sense in fast control. Un,like the hero and heroine of mythology, Perceus has sought a Helen to complete his happiness. True, how could any Helen resist those soulful eyes and that captivating little smile? Percy has won his way to all his hearers ' hearts by his fine baritone voice. He is of late sporting a new Elmore around our village. His two varsity O ' s have been won in football and track. 61 Colors: Purple and White Yell Hurrah! Hooreen! Hurrah! Hooreen! Ickety, Bickety, Zip! Thirteen! Officers John Snavely T. H. Nelson ESTA MOSER J. B. Peck . R. B. Sando President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Yell Master 02 (EliXBB l|tHt0riJ Otterbein, June 19th, 1919. Dearest Irene: — WAS unexpectedly called to this part of the state and, it being commencement time at old O. U., I took a few days off and ran over to the scenes of our college days. What memories old scenes bring to one ' s mind! As I strolled around over the campus and through the shaded streets of good old Westerville with Shine McCleod, I could not help recalling the Sep- tember of 1909 when our class entered Otterbein. Do you remember how anxious we were to organize and eclipse the deeds of any former class? And we certainly did spuz around some after we were really started under the leadership of Lloyd Curts. And 1 guess we showed them how we could stick together when we evaded the Preps and a comglomeration of every class in school, and made our first push such a howling success. Then how in our Sophomore year we had scarcely organized with John Snavely as our President when the corn-tasseled Freshmen had the audacity to challenge us to a tug-of- war across Alum Creek! I don ' t think I shall ever forget those water-soaked, mud-bespattered, chagrined- lookmg Freshies as they crawled up over the bank on all fours. Irene, I met several members of our class here. So I have lots to tell you. Of course, I needn ' t tell you anything about Opal and Henry. I suppose they are getting along pretty well with those little Fiji imps. They tell me that Professor Kiehl and Mary Brown are married at last. Spafford is still married, and is preaching in Toledo. But what do you suppose Hortense Potts did? Well, she isn ' t leaching English at Otterbein any more. She is married, but it isn ' t Richey. She had been correspond- ing with a wealthy old bachelor whom she had never seen. Well, he came out here to see her and she just lost her head over him. (Poor Richey felt awfully bad.) They have moved East. By the way, Bevis and Druhot have founded a unique college in Idaho. Lemmon has accepted the chair of Philosophy and Maeder is making quite a name for himself in the department of science. The divine right of the Snavelys to the chair of history and economics has placed John at the head of that department. Moss is trilling his r ' s in the French department in his usual style. Van Saun ' s work in the department of Public Speaking has won an enviable reputation for himself. C. V. Roop is the college pastor. Bossart and Alma are still on the Nichols ' farm just east of town and seem quite happy and prosperous. Elliott is preaching up in Michigan. Blanche Keck is the girls ' gymnasium instructress. Funkhouser has become a great lawyer and he has been mentioned as a probable candidate for governor of Utah on the Socialist ticket. Olive Blackburn is Good. The Goods are living in Kansas. 1 guess you know that Clara Hendrix married Jesse Dick. He is the college pastor here. Hetzler has given up the ministry and is a fat and prosperous bottler in Columbus. Marie Huntwork is now the field secretary of the National Y. W. C. A. Lydia Nelson is still matron of Cochran Hall and Vina Johnston is the new librarian. I am not sure, but I think that King and Ethel are living in Pennsylvania. They tell me that Layton has recovered from the chickenpox and it is no longer necessary for Warner to substitute. All I know about Bessie Maxwell is that she is Mrs. Arnold. Catherine Maxwell married a young man prominent in Y. M. C. A. work. Peck is assisting in the voice department and is still looking for a wife. Sando has a large chicken ranch in Texas. They say he has become a regular miser. He is a second Silas Marner. Troxell and Summers are his sturdy ranchmen. Now here, I have wasted all this time on everything but what I wanted to talk about. I can hardly wait until the day when I see your steamer steaming into New York harbor, and greet you — well, leave that to me. Forever and ever your own, Campustry. 63 G4 0plT0mnr Snll Norman Bems Olive Blackburn George Bossart RoscoE Brane Mary Brown Ruth Brundace Hubert Ccburn Henry Crochan Raymond Druhot Harvey Elliott Camp Foltz Paul Fouts Elmer Funkhouser John Good Clara Hendrix Charles Hetzler Marie Huntwork To be strong is to be ha|ipy.

It Is said that the upper classmen marveled greatly at the dignity and sell-pcssession of this band of knowledge-seekers, and many were the favorable corPiments created as the long hne of mtelhgent-lookmg boys and maidens marched into the chapel. Verdant freshness was conspicuous because of its absence. No halting steps or fearful tremors were present, unless, perhaps, it were found in H. E. Bondurant, who, in spite of his wonderful gift of oratory, is more or less shy and timid. In mentioning different members of the class it is highly proper that the dignitaries be given first place. This class is especially fortunate in naming Bishop Ben- jamin Franklin Bungard among its number. The charm of his tenor voice preceded him ond he was called upon the first day to sing a solo. He declined, however, very modestly, in favor of Mr. Foltz or some other worthy upperclassman. Resler Caliban is the best baseball pitcher at Otterbein ; but remember, Ress, conceit can puff a man up but it can ' t prop him up. In trying to name the members of the class in order of importance we have decided to take them alphabetically, since, outside the ones already mentioned, they are equally great. Mary Alkire heads this list. She is a sweet and virtuous soul nhoni we all lo e. Raymond P. Bowers, cartoonist, pessimist, confectioner, chief ad- i:Or to fnendlfss girls, etc., etc., has the faculty of being master of numerous arts, from beirg able to rrake all kinds of chafing-dish dainties to propounding lectures on skepticism. Charles Bradley, it is rumored, is a woman-hater. We are sorry for this, since he has such a good sample of the gentler sex in his sister. Helen is good-natured and generous, and has a smile that won ' t wear off. At the beginning of the year Dewitt Bandeen was frequently heard giving advice to his friends on the folly of wasting time on the girls. His influence has been much felt during the year. Although there is some contention for this honor, Grace Brane claims to have the turnedupdest rose in the school. This, however, is a matter of opinion. Myra Brenizer and Esther Van Buskirk are the two girls in the class who make one ' s heart ache to look at them. They are mere shadows — both together weighing scarcely a hundred and fifty pounds. When it was spread abroad what an illustrious class was to enter Otterbein Edmund Barkemeyer wended his way here to join it from the distant land of Germany. Notwithstanding the fact that his r s are somewhat si ' ghted, the rich quality of his voice has won for him a prominent place in the Glee Club. The little town of West Milton is quite proud of its representative. We, too, have a strong affection for our Lucile, who innocently wondered what instru- ment Irene Staub played in the Volunteer Band. Hazel Cornetet is one of the jolliest girls among us. She is always sunny and never blue. Mildred Cook and Kitty Karg — as it is a pity to separate them, we let them go on forever, like Tennyson ' s brook. Agnes Drury, by accomplishment or natural endowment, is capable of making brilliant recitations in the class-room without studying her lessors. All of us, the points in particular, are anxious to know the secret. Ira Dempsey is little, but he is mighty, especially when it comes to arguing. Blanche Fleck is the only representative from the first floor of the dormitory. We are fortunate to get Blanche in our class because the distribution of the rare jewels of first floor is done very carefully. At last Alfred Funk has attained the rank of freshman. He is to be congratulated. We hear that, unlike many of the boys of the chss. he was so anxious to get a gid for the freshman-junior banquet that he made a date the next day after the second semester began. It is said that in this world a man mu5t either 1 e the anvil or the hammer. If this is true, Mary Garver chose to be the hammer, and she has been knocking ever since. Carl Gilford boasts of the office of chief executive of the class. As yet none but the sophomores have suffered under his adminis- tration. Ila Grindell has more knowledge to the square inch than most of us have to the square foot. But then there must be some one to carry the intellectual burdens. Delta Gailey is the noisiest girl in school. We think, however, that she will overcome this failing. Mary Grise is an innocent child who came among us late in the year. She is none the less welcome. Boneta Jamison is one of Grace ' s chief rivals since Klor declares that he adores turned-up noses. Howard Kahler is one of the class who believes in making himself useful as well as ornamental. Not one moment is he idle. Newell Kerr ' s chief amusement and recreation is working mathematical problems. We hope for some great discoveries through his genius. We are extremely honored by having in our class members of a royal family. The exact Imeage is uncertain, but it is generally thought that Nell is the wife of Queen Ethel ' s prime minister, and that Princess Mae is the sister of His Majesty. James Livengood is another of the Glee Club stars. How could that organization exist without him! Everyone is as God has made him, and oftentimes a great deal worse. Now this is the case with Carl Lash. God made him to like the girls, but we think it is his own fault when he loses his way in a strange city at midnight and gets stuck in the mud trying to find his way out. Ruth Maxwell is always ready for a joke, and whenever there is fun Ruth is sure to be on hand with her merry laugh. Carrie Miles and Anna Thomas are girls of few words, but they observe so much the more. Someone has said that human improvement is from within outwards. It seerrs to be just the opposite with Helen Moses, for every time she appears she is clad in new garments. Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like her. If it is true that he wants wit that wants resolved will, Irma and Mearl Martin are girls of rare wit. Her- schell Niswonger ' s greatest enemy is Latin. Vcn ' ii, vidit, flunkit. Gladys Nichols is always happy. Her shining miorring face dispels all clouds of darkness. Although Stewart Nease has lately suffered from a severe illness, he has returned to resume his work in school. He is one of the male members of the class who are musically inclined. Alex- ander Newman pays little attention to anything but his work. This is a trait to be ad- mired. Forest Overholt is inclined to become excited — especially in cases of fire. Elsie Pace is a conscientious girl possessing dignity worthy of a senior. Mary Russell can accomplish more in one short hour than most people can in a half day. There are a number of people who have the distinction of having had the chicken-pox, but Harry Richer is the only one who can boast of a second attack. Florence Stevens is a modest creature who looks on the ways of the wicked in wide-eyed wonder. Ernest Saul is one of the more settled men of the class. Of course there is a reason. Ivan Secrist, they say, stars in math and French. We are exceedingly glad for the interest he takes in his work. Jacob Schutz is a boon to the German class. It could scarcely exist without him. Anna and Minnie Shane come to us as graduates of Westerville High School. They are both of a cheerful nature and we are proud to own them. Frank Shepherd declares that he is not of the roll of common men. It gives us great satisfaction to know this, as such a calamity as having common men in the class has not been realized as yet. None know Kit Seneff but to love her. Her dancing black eyes have made many a heart flutter. Eva Simon is never known to be late to class. She is familiarly known as Now-you-see- me-now-you-don ' t. Our list ends with Floyd E. Williams. Floyd ' s fame as a man who can blow his cwn horn has spread from ocean to ocean. 72 iFr Bltmau Enll Mary Alkl e De X ' itt Bandeen Edmund Barkemeyer Ralph Bierly Harmon Bon Durrant Raymond Bowers Charles Bradley Helen Bradley Grace Brane Myra Brenizer Benjamin Bungard Velva Burns Resler Calihan Mildred Cook Lucile Coppock Hazel Cornetet Ira Dempsey Agnes Drury Nevada Emerick Blanche Fleck A little brunette.

Every department has developed wonderfully and too much cannot be said of the merit of the work. Interest in the Music Department is more noticeable this year than ever before, this being due largely to the interest shown by the professors themselves. i he number of theoretical studies has been increased this year. The studies now offered are theory of music, harmony, counterpoint, history of music, and ear-training, ' ounterpoint and ear-training both bemg new studies. Much credit is due each instructor Vw-ho has helped make possible such a successful year. 1 he Vocal Department has had a most splendid year. By the use of the various organizations much latent talent has been developed. The College Chorus of about seventy-five voices under the able direction of Professor Resler has rendered two excellent cantatas, Hiawatha ' s Wedding Feast and The Death of Minnehaha. The former was given commencement week of last year and the latter in January of this year. The chorus is now working on Cowden ' s Rose Maiden, which will be given commencement week of this year. The Chapel Choir, consisting of about thirty voices, has added much to the chapel services and has done fine work in the sacred concerts given from time to lim.e. I he work of Mrs. Resler as accompanist for both of these organizations deserves much commendation. Recitals are given regularly every month as well as the special Fall, Winter, and Spring recitals. It is the aim of each professor to have every one of his pupils appear in a recital at least once during the year. In all, the Music Department has reached a high standard in both quantity and quality, a fact of which Otterbein may be justly proud. 80 81 Gaile McKean, Bowerstown, Ohio Tlif less people siH.-ak of their greatness the more we think of it. — Bacon. Say, Kid. it ' s all a mistake; I don ' t live at Sunbury. George does. I do think that comparisons are odious, but oh, I just love to tease her. Anyway my picture is the prettiest — so there. Oh, I just hale you — yet you are a dear. All joking aside, Gaile is one of our happy and diligent girls, and we will miss her very much when she leaves us this year. GoLDiE McFarland, Westerville, Ohio Deeds not words. This jolly girl came to Westerville from Pleasant City. Dur- ing the last few years she has been a familiar character in Ollerbein ' s Art Studio, where she has painted and painted for hours each day. She is best known by such expressions as, When is Hal coming? or, Ain ' t it awful? Within the past year she has become quite famous as a poetess. Mabel Fleming, Westerville, Ohio So slightly, so musically made. So light upon the grass. Yes, she is little, but she ' s mighty. Her fingers fly over the keys so swiftly and truely that all sit amazed that so much strength could exist in such a little body. Harmony, which is such a torture to every one else, seems to her a veritable pleasure She keeps herself to a few friends, but to these -he is surely true, and seems particularly fond of a nice nook or Glenn. Ross M. Crosby, Greensburg, Pa. Music that brings sweet slceji |)ciuii from the blissful skies. Well, Crosby does sing this kind of music, and yet no one cares to sleep while he is singing. When he talks some of his low tones his hearers begin to think that he could go to the end of the key-board. He not only is addicted to the habit of cut- ling classes, but is of the cutting-up variety in everything. Laying all jokes aside. Crosby is there when it comes to sing- ing, love-making, or reading French. 82 Grace E. Denton, Sylvania, Ohio A daughter of the gods Divinely tall, and most divinely fair. ' ' Who does not have just such thoughts when he sees Miss Denton? She has been here only a year, but in that time has won all by her melodious voice. As a friend, a better could not be found, and as a chaperon — well, she is one of the ideal kind that you read about. Everyone hopes that she will be with us long, and always as cheerful as she is now. Bertie Staiger, Portsmouth, Ohio Singing clearer than the crested bird That claps his wings at dawn. It might also be said of Bertie ' s singing that it always brings thoughts of the laughing Brooks. She holds audiences charmed with her clear full (ones; no one ever tires of hearing her. She was missed for two years, but as she could not forget her old . friends, she came back the same happy Bertie. One of her fail- ings is her unfaltering desire to get up early, and she seems to want her neighbors to do the same. Veo Longshore, Condit, Ohio Music that gentlier on the spirit lies Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes. That is the kind of music Veo gives. In the short time that she has been here she has made some good friends, but, being of a rather retiring disposition, has not allowed many to become well acquainted with her. That may be our own fault, how- ever. She is always ready for a hearty laugh and has a smile for every one. She, like her cousin, Mabel, makes her fingers fly over the keys at a lively pace. J. FiNLEY Williamson, Westerville, Ohio There is sweet music here that softer falls Than petals from blown roses on the grass. This IS really a perfect description of Jack ' s singing. Yet one is often led to wonder where he finds time to devote to his music, when he has so many other duties. The College Quartet would be lost without him, not mentioning how he would be missed by others. But then there are others who graduate this year. So they will likely live happily ever after. 83 MiXBXt tuiinttB Olive Acton Clara Alexander Glenn Arnold Mary Baker Orren Bandeen Ella Barnes Leila Bates Hazel Beard Bess Beckham Charley Bennett Edith Bennett Minnie Bishop Mary Bolenbaugh Charles Bradley Grace Brane Mary Brown Ada Brown Ruth Brundage b. f. bungard Arabelle Campbell Martha Cassler Amanda Clark EsTA Cleophas Mary Clymer Edith Coblentz Mary Coblentz IVA COE Ruth Cogan Velmah Cole Georgia Condit Mildred Cook Lucile Coppock Mary Creamer Florence Cring R.

Gilbert Edmund Barkemeyer e-— HE Otterbein Glee Club, organized two years ago, has proved a valuable addition to the Department of Music. Much credit is due Professor Resler for his untiring efforts in training it. That the Glee Club has been a success is attested by the fine reception accorded it at Canton, Dayton, Akron, Barbertcr, ard other places where it has given concerts. The personnel of the Glee Club has been considerably changed this year on account of the graduation from college of several of last year ' s members. Menke, Bennett, Wagner, and Smith were graduated last year and Kelley, Hanawalt, and Kurtz did not return to school. Yates, Foltz, Rogers, Crosby, and Brooks are the members who were in the club last year. Hebbert, Funk, Livengood, Lash, Spafford, Coburn. Barkemeyer, Jones, Hatton, Gilbert, and Williamson are the new members. Two concerts have been given in the college chapel, both of which were well at- tended. The quality of the music given has been excellent and under the direction of Professor Resler the Glee Club has a bright future.

(E. A. l iHtnry HIS year has been one of promise for the Young Men ' s Christian Association. Every year brings forth a great advance in every activity pertaining to the college, and the Association work has increased in proportion to the other in- who are not members of the As- A. meetings has been the highest terests. Some of the non-student leaders There are only four men m school sociation and the average attendance at the Y. M. C. in the history of the institution. Especially good speakers have been provided, were: President Clippinger, Dr. Jones, Prof. Wagoner, Dr. Russel, Dr. Baker, Rev. Milo Kelser, Dr. J. G. Huber, Rev. C. E. Burton and Dr. Funk. The success in mission study and Bible study has been especially gratifying. Ninety- Iwo men were enrolled in Bible study. Twenty-three of these men complete the four years work in Bible study this year and receive diplomas. Seventy-two men were en- rolled in mission study the first semester and eighty-eight the second. Ten men represented Otterbein at the Lake Erie Students ' Conference in June. This was the second largest delegation from Otterbein to attend a stud ents ' conference. Financially the Association has had an exceptional year. One hundred dollars is paid cmnually to the support of a foreign missionary. The budget was increased from three hundred and seventy-five dollars to four hundred dollars. Perhaps it is not too much to say that the Association was one of the main influences which helped to bring about the greatest revival Otterbein has ever seen. By means of the noonday prayer meetings and the personal work of the fellows, almost every man in school was influenced to take a stand for Christ. About forty men became members of the college church. The entire year has been marked by a strong religious spirit. The leaders were the best, the spirit fine. A bright future is before the Association. 121 z o o en Z H en 5 I u en Z 122 Y. W. C. A. CABINET May Dick . PresiJenl Ethel Kephart ......

A. istnry O OTHER phase of college work is so vitally connected with the inner and deeper life of the college girl as is the Young Women ' s Christian Association. The chief aim of the Association work has been to develop a strong Christian character. As a part of the great world movement of the Y. W. C. A., whose highest aim is to bring young women into vital relationship with Jesus Christ, our Association aims to present His claim upon the college girl. The Association work for the year has covered a variety of activities. Seventy-five girls were enrolled in Bible study. The Bible Study Corrmittee organized five classes. As a text-book the seniors used Studies in the Teaching of Jesus and His Apostles ; the juniors, Old Testament Charac- ters ; the sophomores, The Book of Acts ; the freshmen, The Life of Jesus, the preparatory students, Ten Studies in the Psalms. About thirty girls were enrolled in mission study. The text used was, South America, by Neely. Thirty-six meetings were held during the year. Several special meetings were held. The non-student speakers were: Miss Marie McClellan, Miss Ada Slusser, Dr. Huber, Mr. Swartz, Dr. Miller, and Mr. Kelser. The influence of the Young Women ' s Christian Associa- tion upon the life of the student cannot be over-estimated. It strengthens her own spiritual life in bringing her nearer to Christ; it broadens her interest and sympathy by bringing her into contact with a world-wide movement; it helps fit her for active work in whatever sphere she may be placed in after life. So we would appeal to all the girls of Otterbein to give this great work their mcst Icyal support. 123 CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR CABINET Ople Shanks S. A. Grill C. V.

OVERHOLT 126 12: Atl|bttr0 I A THLETICS are an important factor in modern college life. No school can _V grow without it. Otterbein has learned this and is striving to put out the best in BinS all branches of athletics. Otterbein is steadily improving both in the skill and the manly conduct of her players. A new era has dawned upon the school. In looking back over the records of past years we see an entirely different spirit existing, a spirit of hostility toward every college and especially toward the men of the colleges who were members of the various athletic teams. Unfair and unmanly tactics were often employed, and were upheld by the student body; but today the man who plays dirty athletics is criticized by his fellows and many times shunned by them. The new spirit in athletics is not a sudden change, but the result of several years of education along this line. We are looking back over one of the most successful years in the history of athletics in Otterbein. College spirit has been entirely responsible for the excellent showing which we have made for it has been only through the loyalty of faculty and students that we have been able to place ourselves in a position of efficiency. Our athletic rally showed that the student body were going to stay by the team and help them to victory by helping to bring Exendine back to Otterbein. With the coming of the Carlisle style of play, Otterbein has taken her place among the strongest teams of the state. Basketball and track have been better than the average. Many of the field records were broken in the past year and many more equaled. Baseball has been much better than in former years. Last year a professional coach was secured and the men fell right in with the new style of ball he taught them. The schedule of fourteen games was easily handled by the team, winning eleven and losing three. The state championship was captured by our team by twice defeating the champions ni the Big Six. That Otterbein is to have a new athletic field is another big stride in favor of better athletics. Ihe Senior class is working hard on this field and hope to have it ready for use by the next football season. Prospects are very bright for another very successful year in 1911 and 1912. The Otterbein Spirit is being recognized by all Ohio colleges, and should be guarded with care, so that all may say that Otterbein stands for fair play and clean athletics. The spirit that stays with the team, win or lose, by fair methods and no other, will always keep Otterbein where she rightfully belongs — among the first in college athletics. 128 ATHLETIC BOARD Bailey Hartman Cook Lambert Prof. Kiehl Warner Wineland I.

He came to us from Car- lisle, highly rec- ommended by the best football au- thorities in the country, and has truly proven his ability both to play and to teach the game. He will be with us for the season of 1 9 H , when we expect to put out as good a team as those of the seas- ons of 1909 and 1910. COACH EXENDINE 129 H J -J CQ H O O Uh l} 131 132 3ffnntliaU I T is a pleasure to review a season such as we have had this year in football. But few of our teams have a record equal to this one. Six victoiies, one tie, one defeat. For the past two years the eyes of the Ohio colleges have been turned toward Otteibein ' s football teams. The records of the teams show plainly the skill with which our football material has been handled. We cannot praise too highly the work of Captain Lambert, who for two seasons has so successfully led the men to victory. But few times in the past history of football in Otteibein have we been able to find a man with the ability lo lead us through two winn.ng seasons. The harmony on the team showed the influence of t:e captain ' s personality. Olterbein is veiy fortunate in secuung a football coach of the standard and ability of Exendine. He knows the game fiom beginning to end, and also knows how to coach a winning squad. The personnel of the squad (his season was as good as that of any other team in the state. The learn work, which is necessaiy for a winning team, was always in evidence. Perhaps no man stood out more prominently ihan our sterling fu Iback and field captain. Rex John, whose line plunging, punting and al;-ro nd football ablity, far o it-distanced Sis opponents. Rex directed the team when Captain Lambert was not able to be on the field, and gained much praise for his ability to handle the men. LeRoy Mattis at left half played the most sensational ball of his life this year. Roy could tackle and carry the ball in a sensational manner and his interference was wonderful. He is a man who listens to the coach and who will be missed by the team next year. John Hogg at left tackle played a star game. He was always outweighed, but never outplayed. Jo ' -n had been trying for the team for two yea s, and at the beginning of this season it was pla.nly evident that this was John ' s year. He was always in the game, playing clean, heady ball. T nk Sanders at quarter was an apt student of Coach Exendine ' s tactics. Head work and speed were Hs specialties. He was always on the alert for any weakness in the defense of his opponents and sent his strongest plays at those points. Walter Bailey at center was a wonder. The Cincinnati football enthusiasts picked Waller as an All-Ohio center because of his splendid woik against Cincinnati University. The center position is a hard one lo fill and Walter will be badly missed. Paik Wineland, sub-quarter and end, is an all-round good football man. He puis ginger into the fellows by his own enthusiasm and good nature. Skinney has been a very valuable man to the team • iiis year. Ira Warner at left guard was a flying machine on getting down under punts. He had a way of getting through the line that was soirelhing wonderful. Ira played a real defensive game, and no matter how badly injured was never willing to quit until the timer ' s whistle blew. John, Mattis, Sandeis, Hogg, Bailey, Wineland, and Warner will graduate this year. They will be missed fiom (he team next year, but since they must go we wish t ' lem many victories in the greater game — life. Right half was filled by two men this year, Snavely and Funk. Both men played excellent ball. The former was severely injured early in the season and his place was taken by Funk, who, although young in years, proved that he was old in experience and ability. The ends were played by Hartman and Wagner, and well played, too. Milo was a star on for- wa ' -d passes and few ends could beat him down the field. Channing, although not so tall for the passes, was always down the field among t ' le first, nailing his man on the spot. Albert Lambert at rig t guard was the smallest on t ' le squad, weighing 260 pounds. .Albert could open up holes in the opponents ' line wide enough to drive a wagon through, and his defense was fine. Arthur Lambert at right tackle was a strong man in every department of the game. So well did he play the game this season that his team-mates chose him captain of the team for the coming year. We wish you the best of luck, Arthur, for the season of 1911 and 1912. Hatton, McLeod, Gilbert, Hollingshead, and Simon were valuable men lo the squad this year, always ready lo fill the places of the regulars in case of accident. Space does not permit a discussion of the second team men, whose place on the field is important if a gcod varsity e ' even is to be turned out. There are many men on the second team who will be varsity men next year and we look forward to the best season in Olterbein for 1911 and 1912. 138 Otterbein 5 September 24 O. S. U. 14 If was a loyal bunch of rooters that accompanied the team to the Ohio State field and In spite of the rain stayed with the team to the bitter end. The annual, rain which accompanies the O. S. U. game was there, and during the last half made the field quite wet for play. This did not prevent Otterbein from putting up fine ball in all departments of the game. The first scoring of the game was done by Otterbein after five minutes of play, when John picked up one of State ' s fumbles and sprinted forty-five yards for a touchdown. Otterbein missed the try for goal, leaving the score Otterbein 5 — O. S. U. 0. Things were looking pretty bright for O. U., but State rallied quickly and by a series of end runs and fake plays, Foss of State went over for her first touchdown. They kicked goal. Score — Otterbein 5, O. S. U. 6. Another touchdown and place kick by State ended the scoring of a very interesting game. The work of the individual members of the team on the whole was excellent, but as this was the first game of the season, team- work was somewhat lacking at times. On defense Otterbein played a great game. Hogg and Lambert at tackle were invincible. John was the mainstay in the back field, carrying and booting the ball for long gains. Hartman and Wagner at ends were always down under Rex ' s punts, nailing State ' s men in their tracks. Captain Lambert started the game for Otterbein, but owing to in- juries to his ankle he was forced to yield his place to Snavely, who showed up quite well for his first game of varsity football. State has a very strong team this year and we should not feel the defeat by so strong a team, since it was the only defeat of the season. Otterbein October I Kenyon Otterbein really won the Kenyon game this year. Kenyon was out- played in every way and it was only through the luck that they usually have when we are playing them, that they were not scored on. Time after time we would rush the ball within striking distance of their goal, to lose it on forward passes or fumbles. Once on a try for a place kick the wind carried a well directed ball back twenty feet. Kenyon also came near scoring in the last half, when, on a try for a place kick, the ball hit the cross-bar and bounded back onto the field. Otterbein had by far the best team this year. Although we were not playing the Lamberts on the right side of the line, yet McLeod and Hatton played a fine game and should be commended. They had Ken- yon ' s best line men to oppose, Marty and Axtell, the only real football men on the Kenyon team. The backfield worked fine, having plenty of interference to aid them in making long gains. This was Snavely ' s first entire game of varsity and he showed that he could play good, snappy ball. Sanders had some trouble with Kenyon ' s ends when forward passes were used, but one pass was made successfully. Kenyon understood our passes from the State game and had coached their ends and halves to intercept them. End runs and line plunges, however, were worked at will, our line- men tossing their men about whenever called upon. The usual snap and spiiit seemed to be somewhat lacking at times, yet the team should be commended for the excellent showing made against Kenyon this year. We feel much as a Kenyon man was heard to remark a few days later: Luck was surely with Kenyon in their game with Otterbein. 1:M Otterbein 23 October Ohio Northern 19 The game with Ohio Northern was one of the hardest-fought games of the season. Northern outweighed us about fifteen pounds to the man, not excepting our husky right guard — Albert. They lacked the coach- ing which our team put to such a good advantage, but had they had a coach such as Exendine and the same abundant material at hand, they would easily have won the state championship, for it was only by the hardest playing that we were able to defeat them, twenty-three to nine- teen. No gcime played this year placed so much responsibility upon the line as this one. Northern had plenty of subs to replenish their regulars, so that they could rest and then play again. Albert said that the longer they came the bigger they got, which shows that Northern did have plenty of material from which to select. McLeod and Hatton replaced the Lamberts for a few seconds, and when they got back into the game after their rest, they did some great work and helped Otterbein out of a hole. We were fortunate in having some heavy back field men for line plunging, especially John, who was often called on to carry the ball. A large part of the scoring was due to his plunges, which netted the team several yards of gain. John got away with several long punts which averaged about forty yards. Our athletic relations with Ohio Northern are somewhat strained since this game, because of the treatment given us by the referee, Mr. Hoyer of Ohio State. It is a well-known fact that Northern always shows the old-fashioned college spirit when playing visiting teams. We won in spite of the treatment, however, and congratulate every individual on the excellent game played. Otterbein 37 October 22 Heidelberg The Heidelberg game was the first played on the local field this season. It is needless to say that Otterbein, with the ball always in safe territory, won by the score of 37 to 0. Long runs by every back field man were the bright features of the game. The local team was somewhat off-color in team-work at various times, but managed to do most of the playing in Heidelberg ' s territory. Heidelberg was unable to threaten our goal, but put up a stubborn fight against Exendine ' s men, who outweighed them fifteen pounds to the man. The first score of the game was a touchdown by Sanders, who re- ceived a punt and sprinted thirty yards for a touchdown. The goal was missed. Early in the second quarter John scored a place kick from the thirty-yard line, followed by touchdowns by Sanders and Snavely. End runs were used to advance the ball within striking distance. Then trick plays through the line put the ball across the coveted goal line. Otterbein came back strong in the last half and in the third quarter secured eleven points on touchdowns by Mattis and Snavely. John missel goal on the first touchdown. In the fourth quarter Captain Lambert, whose injuries in the State game had kept him from the fray, replaced Snavely and played a strong game. John on an end run scored the last touchdown of the game. Harlman kicked goal. This ended the scoring of a one-sided but very interesting game. 135 Otterbein 39 October 29 Antioch r J H r- Antioch was an easy victim for Otterbein this yea-, being defeated 39 to 0. This was not a game won from a poor, uncoached team, but one which was hotly contested fiom beginnmg to end. Aniioch was ex- ceptionally strong in every department, and it was only ihrougi our ex- cellent team-work and superior coaching that we were able to win. The victorious eleven woiked in g and slyle and used the forward pass to perfection, scoring the fiist touchdown by the use of one, Sanders turning the trick. Matlis scoied a touchdown after some pretty ground gaining by Wagner, Funk, and N4attis. John started tne second quarter by a touchdown, followed by a place kick by himself, which ended t!ie scoring of this quarter. In the third quarter a brand new feat was in store for us. John received the kickoff, and ran through a broken field ninety-five yards for a lo-ichdown. This was the most spectacular feat seen on the local gridiron this year. Antioch kicked to Hollanshead, who had replaced Funk. Antioch was unable to stop him until he had gained fifty yards for O. U. Sanders gained thirty and John went eight for another touchdown. In the fourth quarter John place kicked and Hartman, after a series of runs and a forward pass, went over for his first and the last touchdown of the gam?. In no gams this year did Otteibein show such skill and team- wo k as in this one, and had she met Oberlin or Ohio State at this time, they would have been forced to acknowledge the ability of our team. Otterbein 12 Nc Cincinnati 6 Much newspaper comment preceded our game with Cincinnati this year. The Cincinnati Enquirer was especially active in predicting our defeat, since the university of that city was supposed to have the next best team in the slate. Time for the game found many of Otterbein ' s former students and enthusiastic friends on the side lines to root for a winning learn. Cincinnati anxiously watched the team as they lined up for £ goal practice, hoping that we would uncover some of our tricks, but nary a one ; straight football only was used. The whistle blew and the red hot contest was on. Cincinnati stub- bornly contested every inch of the ground gained by Otterbein, and they wo:kcd like tigers to gain the lead O. U. had over them. This was a game in which our plucky little quarterback starred, both in generaling the team and in successful plays by himself. The team-work was one of the brightest features of the game, our interference being the best at all times. Especially was this prominent in the long end runs by Mattis and John. Funk also played a steady game, both on offense and defense. Cincinnati had the strongest line that we met this season and but few line plunges were used. Both touchdowns were scored by the quar- le back ' s quick fakes through center. This not only shows well for the quarter but also shows that the center and guards were taking good care of their men. Wagner and Hartman were in the game all of the time euid were on the receiving end of several well directed forward passes. Every man on the team was playing for everything there was in him and the recoid shows a hard-fought victory, won by the score of 12 to 6. 136 Otterbein 12 Ohio Tricksters won in a Hard and rojg ' i contest over Ohio University. Ohio sprang a suipuse on us by playing their best game of the season against us, holding the game to a 12 to score. The ability of Olteibein to work tricks was especially evident in this game, when Ohio by her good defense wo k slopped all attempts to make good on straight football. Exendine ' s men, however, had their opponents outclassed in every depaitment of the game. Mattis played the stellar role, making two tnirty-ya d runs which resulted in touchdowns. This was the only scoring done in the game excepting the goals from the touchdowns. John was in the game with his great line smashing bucks, which class him among the best fullbacks in the state. Funk also was good on gains through the lines and pulled off some trick plays which completely dazzled the Ohio men. Albert Lambeit was great on opening up holes when called upon, and especially so when he made it possible for Mattis to score his first touchdown over right guard. Otteibein seemed a litlle bit rattled in this game, but iowaids the last of the game they got together and played grand ball, sending Mattis over after a series of tricks and other good plays, for the second touchdown of the game. Jo hn kicked goal for both touchdowns. Portz played the best game for Ohio both on offense and defense, and was in a large manner responsible for the showing made by his team. Tfis was the roughest gams of the season. Dirty tactics were used by Ohio in stopping some of the plays, a fact which does not speak well for an Ohio Conference team. The game on the whole was a very satisfactory one and showed that our team could win a game on tricks alone if necessary. Otterbein 20 N. ovember ber 24 Wittenberg Mud! mud! more mud! This is the story of the Thanksgiving day game. The men who graduated from the team this year will remember it as a fitting climax to their football career. Exendine ' s men were in fine condition for their last game of the season. There were fifty-six dif- ferent plays to select from and had Wittenberg solved any one of them any other one might have been used just as effectively against her. The gridiron was a lake of mud and water at the beginning of the game, but this did not stop our husky lads from trying their luck against our old- time enemy in athletics. No sensational features were pulled off. Punting was entirely out of the question because of the mud which would collect on the ball. For- ward passes were equally as impossible. Straight football, the last resort, was used for a 20 to victory. End runs and line bucks were used for the four touchdowns, but no goals were kicked. The men who will leave the team this j ' ear will be g eatly missed for their playing. Warner at guard has played fine ball, as has his team- mate, Hogg, at tackle. Hogg was the lightest tackle seen on our team for years but played a fine game. Mattis at half played stellar ball, as did John at fullback. The latter was picked by many for the All-Ohio team. Bailey at center and Sanders at quarter were the battery of the team, and we will have to search long and far to find men to replace them. Wineland was in many of the games this year and made himself a valuable man to the team. He played part of the iltenberg game and was in it all the time. Thus ends the career of donned the cardinal and tan. seven of the best football men that ever e.(.

The team this year was practically a new one. Only two of the men from last year ' s squad reported for work this season. Perhaps no captain has had such a task on his hands as Young has had this year. Three men who had never played varsity ball had to be developed for the team. The schedule, although the hardest one ever played bv an Otterbein team, was well handled. Lack of team-work was evident in the first three games, but under the efficient leadership of the Captain a winning aggregation was turned out, which ended the season very cerditably. Like football, basketball will lose most of the regular players this year. Six men from the squad will graduate, leaving quite a gap for next year ' s captain lo repair. C. K. Young, Captain and left forward, has just ended a very successful season. He has shown that besides coaching and choosing the team, he has been able lo play the game of his life, leading the team in the scoring department. He is the speediest man in the squa d and a sure goal getter. He graduates this year and will be greatly missed. R. K. John, right forward, was the most aggressive man on the squad; his ability lo follow the ball was the bright feature of his playing. Rex could hit the goal regularly and was always playing ball. He tried his luck at center a few times this year, but his best game was played at forward. He also belongs to the sheepskin class.. R. M. Crosby, center, is the season find. He filled the shoes of a center in a very good manner. He out-scored his opponents, besides getting into most of the team-work. Although a new man in varsity ball, he developed rapidly and toward the end of the season was playing good classy ball. He is a senior. C. L. Bailey, right guard, has been a very valuable man to the team. Cloyd would have won his letter with ease this year had he not been prevented by sickness. He is the lightest man on the squad, but plays hard all the time, which ac- counts for his success in basketball. He will go the way of all the other seniors. C. R. Hall, right guard, is entirely new at the game this year. He took Bailey ' s place at guard and played a very consistent game. Experience is all that is lacking to make him an all-round team man. Ralph will be in school another year and will, no doubt, be out for the team. A. D. Cook, left guard, has played several years on the varsity and will be out for the team next year. He was elected captain for 1912. The second team has been the best seen on the local floor in years. The team-work was excellent, as was their work against outside teams. Out of six games they were defeated but once. The seconds were Dempsey, Stringer, Lambert, Bandeen, and Fouts, all of whom had some varsity experience. Wine- land also played with the seconds and would have gotten to play on the varsity if he had come out earlier in the season. Stringer and Wineland tackle the great unknown this year, but Dempsey, Lambert, Bandeen, and Fouts will be with the team another year. Manager J. T. Hogg has taken good care of his men this year. He has given them the best of everything, besides ending the season with a large balance in his favor. Nothing but words of commendation can be given to him for the wav he handled the team.

Everyone was glad to see them run off so smoothly and all seemed satisfied with the series and the results. This series played in mid- winter aroused class spirit to the highest pitch attained at any time of the year. There are two objects in view for holding these games; first, the bringing out and developing of basketball material; and second, the financial gain to the management. These games have again fulfilled these requirements and proved a great success in 1911. There were four games played. The first resulted in a victory for the Seniors over the Juniors by the score of 49 to 19. On the same evening the Freshmen defeated the Sophomores 37 to 14. The Seniors played their second game with the Academy team, winning by the score of 40 to 13. The final game was played by the juniors and freshmen and resulted in a 35 to 20 victory for the freshmen. The losers of the championship game were famous in inter-class contests, having won the class championship series both in their freshman and junior years. They were defeated in their sophomore year by the juniors (1910), losing by a single point. The championship team, although belonging to the class with the surplus chlorophyll, were not new lo the game of basketball and will make fine material for next year ' s varsity team. The outcome of the games was as famous prophets prophesied ere the series began. All the more glory goes to the first year men for making such an excellent showing, for from among them must come the future athletes of Otterbein. Seniors Locke (C.)

Although the performance of our team upon the home track was prevented because of bad weather, yet in the Cincinnati meet and again in ihe field day events Commencement week, our boys demonstrated the fact that they were winners agamst the best. Three records were broken, the hammer throw, the low hurdle and the 100-yard dash, by Stouffer, Rogers, and Welbaum, respectively. Homer Gifford was unanimously chosen captain to lead the squad for this season. Homer has been doing good work with the men and if the weather man will permit he will lead them to the vic- tories that our teams have won m former years. Manager Stringer has arranged an excellent schedule for the team this year and is doing his best to equip the team in the best manner. He is planning for a big field day for Commencement week. Alumni and students are needed to push this to make it the biggest field day ever held in Otterbein. W ' anted — Every track record broken Commencement week.

Last year, under the efficient coaching of Goodwin, Otterbein tuined out the fastest team that has ever donned the tan and cardinal. The fact that we won the state championship is sufficient proof of this statement. This was due in a large deoree to the knowledge of inside baseball. The catching of Captain Wineland, whose skill in handling the team was re- sponsible for many of our victories, and the sensational pitching of R. Caliban were bright features of the games season. Otterbein was very fortunate in having five or six left-hand batters. This seemed to puzzle the opposing and as a lesult Otterbein out-batted her opponents two to one. The highest average in 1909 was .219, while the 1910 was .225 and the highest .389. Thus we see the impiovement due to coaching. personnel of our learn for the coming year will be somewhat changed, but the new material under the leadership of W agner and Coach Wrigley have shown remarkable form.

' 10 153 Nrui Atlilrtir Ifidh HE SIB ' L of 1911 would not be complete if we failed to mention the new Athletic Field and the class of 1911, who have so nobly backed the effort which has been put forth to procure the new field. Last year the present Senior class started early to discuss what would be a fitting ard prcper gift for them to leave to the college, and after some discussion they finally decided to start a movement to secure for Otterbein a new Athletic field. They certainly could never have decided upon a better gift for the school. They decided not only that Otterbein should have a new field but it should be the best Athletic field, when connpleted, in the state. They at once drew up this contract with the trustees: The class of 1911 proposes to the Board of Trustees, that the class undertake the rais- ing of two thousand dollars ($2000.00) for the development of an Athletic field upon grou- d to be provided by the college. That the college do the work of drainage and grading immediately on the payment of six hundred dollars ($600.00) by the class cither in cash, or in negotiable notes, or in both. Upon the payment of seven hundred dollars ($700.00) more that the college finish the field ready for dedication June 1, 1911. If the remainder is paid in by June 1, 1911, that the class may then name and dedicate the field. 1 he plans and specifications of the Athletic field shall be mutually agreed upon by the two parties. The letting of all contracts for the construction of the Athletic field shall be in sole charge of the college. We see by reading this contract that the class meant business. They are to be con- gratulated on starting early and on laying plans to give this fine gift. T he Board of 1 rustces at once appointed a committee of two, M. H. Matthews of Dayton, and Harry Bernard, Secretary of the Cleveland Athletic Club, to raise money and draw up plans ' or the project. This committee has worked very faithfully and has secured five thousand dollars, ($5000.00) The Senior clafs up to this time have almost completely fulfilled their part of the contract, for they have already turned over six hundred dollars to the college and the work has been started. The class has raised eleven hundred dollars in cash and they have approximately five hundred dollars in subscriptions, due the first of June. The new field will lie in the northwest corner of the town, and will be entered from Grove street. The committee has purchased for the clloege about twenty-five acres of lard including the old gravel pit. The new field will be equipped with a full sized base ball diamond and the diamond will be sodded. It will be the best college base ball diamond in the state. It will also be equipped with a sodded football field with all the modern improvements. There will be either a third or quarter mile track. The field will be equipped with up-to-date bleachers and a fence will be placed around it. In time the college expects to build a new gymnasium there also. This field is a sure thing now and the committee is waiting on bids for the grading. As soon as this preliminary work is finished the field will be started. They expect to have the field completed so that the football team can use it next fall. So we see that it is only a question of a little time until we have the new field, a field that will equal any field in the state, one which we will take great pride in talking about, and one which will be a great advertising feature for the school. 1 he Senior class is to be congratulated and commended for pushing through so worthy an undertaking. We all wish them the same success in their undertakings of after life. R. L. Harki J. J. Dick G. F. McFarland J. R. Schutz, Alternate Afftrmatiur Srbating dram College Chapel, March 17, 1911. Question: Resolved, That our legislation should he shaped loTuard a gradual ultimate abandon- luent of the protective tariff. Otterbein — Affirmative: R. L. Harkins, J. J. Dick, G. F. McFarland. Heidelberg — Negative: H. L. Shinn, W. E. Miller, E. W. Miller. Judges: Prof. McElrov, Ohio Wesleyan University; Prof. Kalb, Columbus. .T) OR the first tirre in the history of Otterbein, her debating teams this year won both debates in the triangle. The victory won at home by our affirmative team was a notable one inas- much as the Heidelberg team was composed entirely ci experienced debaters, whereas none of the Otterbein team had had any previous experience in inter-collegiate debate. Harkins, as the first speaker, proved himself especially efficient in his clear analysis of the question and logical arrangement of the arguments. At the same time he made a good impression by his forcible delivery. McFarland ' s argument was forceful, his delivery easy and persuasive, giving the impression of exhaustive study of the question and thorough preparation. Dick won much deserved credit as a debater by his splendid enthusiasm and ready rebuttal. The running fire summary with which he concluded the debate was a feature of the contest. All three of these men deserve much credit for their victory over Heidelberg, a ccllege which has always been noted for her splendid debating teams. 156 FRED G. BALE Coach of the Debating Teams NO one has done more for the Otteibeln Debating Teams in the last three years than has Fred G. Bale. His services have been freely given at all limes. Even his professional duties have been sacrificed in his efforts to put out winning teams. Mr. Bale knows the art of debating himself and he also knows how to train his teams. For three years he has led in debate at Ohio Stats University, where he studied under Prof. Blanchard. Although not directly connected with the college, Mr. Bale is much interested in its welfare. He has proved this by the service he has rendered the debating teams. The success of the teams in winning both debates is largely due to Mr. Bale ' s efficient coaching. When it is said that his coaching has been done without cost to the teams or the college, and thai he has been untiring in his efforts to raise debate to the standard that it should hold, we have expressed somelhing of the spirit in which his work has been done. These two victories should do much toward awakening a great interest in this college activity, which is today receiving as much attention and impetus in the universities as in any other college activity. No more manly contest between college men can be conceived of and no experience of a college man ' s collegiate activities can be more valuable to his future in whatsoever profession he may enter, than his training in these forensic contests. It is to be hoped that Otterbein, having taken her lace in the front ranks of the colleges of this state in the de- bating field, will maintain this place in the future. To do this more time is needed for preparation — the teams this year having had but three weeks ' training. i There should also be a system established by which experienced debaters would be available each year. The field of college debating has attained so prominent a place in collegiate activities as to make special coaching of the teams as necessary to success in competing with other colleges as is the special coaching of our football teams. We long ago abandoned the idea of a general athletic director. Our athletic policy now is to have a coach who specializes in the various branches of athletics, and since adopting this policy our athletics have taken front rank in the state. We spend $1400 for a football coach for a couple of months. Why not spend two or three hundred for a special debating coach? Our future success in debate can be assured only through such a policy. Then, too, why should there not be a debating O granted to the men who represent us in debate? Such an emblem of honor would be a worthy reward and an incentive to greater interest in debate. Too much credit cannot be given the student body for the splendid support of the teams this year. In past years this support has been woefully lacking, but with the impetus of a dojble victory, the support of the student body, which mater- ially aided in the victory of the home team this year, will mul ' iply in numbers and enthusiasm. 157 H. E. Richer C. R. Laylon C. D. Yates M. A. Muskopf, Alternale Nrgatiu i battng ©ram Debate — Otterbein VS. BuCHTEL Akron, March 17, 1911. Question: Resolved, Thai our legislation should he shaped ioteard a gradual ultimate abandort- ment of the protective tariff. BucHTEL — Affirmative: Mr. Gienther, Grover Walker, Charles Hull. Otterbein — Negative: H. E. Richer, C. D. Yates, C. R. Layton. Judges: Prof. Caskey, of Oberlin; Prof. Wolfe, of Oberlin; Prof. Mathews, of Western Reseive. o UR negative team, debating with Buchtel at Akron the same evening, won a no less notable victory by receiving the unanimous decision of the judges. Here also Otterbein matched inexperienced with experienced public speakers. Otterbein ' s superior team work and splendid extemporaneous rebuttal clearly outweighed whatever of advantage the Buchtel orators displayed in the polish and smoothness of their set speeches. Yates opened the debate in a spirited yet easy style, outlining the question with clear cut analysis, and proved hirrself a valuable and convincing speaker. Richer, in spite of the fact that he had had no previous experience, spoke with an earnestness and enthu siasm which insured for him a brilliant record on future Otterbein teams. Layton, the only experienced man on the team, showed the value of his training two years ago. In his splendid rebuttal work he answered effectively every argument of the affirmative and closed with a logical and convincing summary of the negative ' s argument. Layton ' s intense and earnest manner together with his sharp and ready rebuttal won for him much admiration. 158 W. L.

Where hearts so earnest speak lovingly, too, A man ' s neck gels quite out of joint. For he sees nothing else but his point. Like Maltis there, I really declare. If his neck isn ' t always awry, A-twisting and turning, always a-yearning To see his dear Bessie go by. And not going by without him Is the aim of his last student days, For soon in their own little cottage He ' ll gladden the rest of her ways.

And wish none but thee to esteem! Is heard at all sorts of hours Repeated by one of the baseball team. Hark! how clear and tremblingly sweet Rings out a voice from a nook; It ' s the voice of an angel? No, Only Bertie singing to Brooks. And now an under refrain By voice, deep and vibrant with joy. Repeats the message of starlight To Rhea, from Jack, dear boy. Is it silence which betokens the spell Which attracts these two lovers apart From all the world and its call? Nay, heart speaks only to heart. 165 For any place on ihe campus or street We see them inseparably meet. And all know by tHe inevitable stamp Thai they ' re ju ' .cies, Irene and Camp.

Along by the bridge in the moonlight Two forms slowly merge- into one And fade like the vanishing shadows Ere the moon her course has run.

Dear little Ruth with the mischievous glance Finds time to look askance Into blue eyes which hold her own. And Ralph Smith nevermore is alone.

For surely lliis is another man. Another white flower of the self-same stock. The same refrain on the same old rock. Why bless my eyes, do I see aright? Or have my eyes doubled their sight? The maid again with still another man. And trying him with ihe same old plan. 166 Ah, me! little glil, you ' re a decided flirt, But yoa had Detter console your faitnful Curt, For his eyes tell the tale which you fail to read By following alone your happiness creed. The days are loo long, when Helen is gone, Sighs a youth of tender years. You may know quite well how Laylon feels By seeing in his eyes the tears.

There ' s one littie girl who is unlike the rest. For when she is asked what fruit she likes best. Just turns with a smile which does not condemn one, Oh, I don ' t know — well, hand me a Lemmon.

H L OW do you do? How are you this evening? Nice weather we ' re having, isn ' t it? Beheve we ' ll have frosts though before long, don ' t you? But I guess they won ' t hurt the corn much any more, will they? Say, old pal, aren ' t you glad to be back at Otterbein? Seems good to be back again, doesn ' t it? But don ' t you miss the old students who are out? Nice though to see a lot of new fellows here to take their places, don ' t you think so? Close to one hundred and fifty, don ' t you judge? Did you ever see anybody who seem to get the true Otterbein spirit like they do? They ' re certainly of the unfading tan and cardinal, arn ' t they? And how about the girls? No discount on them either, eh? Have you made your selection yet from the different fall styles found at the dormitory? Suppose you were at the joint reception Saturday night? There was no discount on that was there? Reckon you made those three minute speeches on weather, etc? Well the weather certainly was fine wasn ' t it, with floods of moonlight thrown in? In speaking of mathematics, did you demonstrate that a straight Ime is the shortest distance between two points? What is the use of enduring all these agonies of freshmen math, unless some time in life you have the pleasure of making practical demonstrations? And say, by the way, did you attend the football rally the other night? Quite a privilege to help support athletics, isn ' t it? Or even to be at the rally and sing, My Alma Mater and Hail, Hail, the Gang ' s All Here, or even to yell, Charcoal, charcoal ? Now isn ' t it? Tomorrow night by this time Otterbein ' s victory over Ohio State will be flashed all over the country, won ' t it? And their fellows will be in bed with tired bones, and aching heads and hearts, don ' t you think? Golly, isn ' t it great to be an athlete? Say, where are you rooming and boarding? How do you like it where you are? If you don ' t like it why don ' t you spit it out? Did you get all your work arranged to suit you? How many studies are you carrying this term? Where do you carry them, in your head or in your hands? Do you know what to do if your studies get too dry? Why not try soaking the books and ducking the profs? Did you say you lead most of your classes and star every day? You don ' t say so? Did you ever notice how some of the stars twinkle for a time and then flicker out? You ' re a horse in algebra did you say? Well, then, will you please solve this perplexing problem for me? If it takes a lame beetle two hours and a half to crawl through a barrel of molasses, how long will it take the Senior class to raise two thousand dollars for a new Athletic field? Will you pass the syrup, please? Speaking of college, it is certainly a great privilege to attend a good college, isn ' t it, even if some of us do have to strain every muscle in the body to get to stay? Have you any idea we appreciate it as much as we should? And do we fully appreciate the sacri- fice that IS bemg made for us? Surely the world is trusting us with a good deal, don ' t you thmk? Have you any idea we shall ever be able to pay back the prmciple? Suppose we begin by paying up the interest? What do you say to that? Say, have you heard from home lately? You did? How are they all getting along any way? You ' ll not neglect to write home often will you just because you happen to be a prominent student in college, will you? Did it ever occur to you that no matter how many friends you may have and whatever they may be willing to do for you, they can ' t equal the folks at home even if they can ' t decline hie , conjugate luo , or dis- tinguish between sine and cosine? Do you know I thoroughly beHeve that the young man who speaks of his parents as the old man and the old woman , lacks the marks of twentieth century culture? Why not eliminate those phrases from our vocabulary? What were you working at during vacation? Canvassing, did you say? Do you know I believe every college student owes it to this glorious country to spend at least one season of his brilliant and useful career in canvassing and thereby bestowing a priceless boon upon humanity? Selling Chautauqua desks, did you say? Did you tell the fathers and mothers of the bright little tots, how, with a piece of dustless talc pencil, with a circle for the head, dots for the eyes and dashes for the nose and mouth, the child draws its first picture and calls it papa — not very flattering perhaps but nevertheless a step in the light direction? Say, while I think of it, have you subscribed for the Otterbein Aegis or Review yet? If you have not, isn ' t it about time you are doing so? Pray, what is the use of putting off the important things of life anyway? Don ' t you know that procrastination is the thief of time ? And what is worse than a thief, unless it be a liar? Where do you intend to spend Thanksgiving, Christmas — and eternity? Time to think about that too, isn ' t it? My! O my! Isn ' t it strange how some people can ask questions? If I couldn ' t do any better I ' d go way back and sit down, wouldn ' t you? S. F. W. I Hip Uau Htuklf of Ja au N the reign of Mikado Tenchi, there hved in Kyushu, Nippon, a fisherman named Lrashima Taro. As a son of the seacoast he proved himself a devoted son, for no gcod fishing day found him on lard, and the blue waters were sacred to him. It was one April eighth, the birthday of Buddha, when Urashima Taro was walk- ng along the shore. He would not fish on that holy day, and his heart was filled with a great tenderness. As he paddled along over the clean, white sand, he saw a number of v. ' ide-trousered boys gathered about a large, dark object, which, as he drew nearer, he found was a large tortoise. The eye of the fisherman glistened at the sight of this treasure luf with the assurance that the boys were preparing to kill the tortoise, came the thought of the great Buddha, and he stepped quickly into the little circle. A few rapidly spoken words, ten yen (about five dollars) placed in the hand of the leader, and the turtle was his, and he awkwardly helped its awkward return to the waters — and the great creature with the singularly brilliant green spot on its head was gone. 17( It was mary weeks later that the fisherman was nearing the familiar promontory, with a great, wiggling catch in his little boat, when a sudden storm rose, and Urashima was thrown into the waters and found himself going steadily down, down. Suddenly there came under him a huge tortoise that bore him still down and deposited him before a great wall on the m.agnificent gate of which was ritten, Kanji (Chinese characters), The Palace of the Sea God. With the curiosity of a young man, the astonished fisherman climbed a pine-tree to get a rcod view of the palace and garden, which, he thought afterward, looked like Gokuraku ' (paradise). As the tree grew quite close to the gate, the limb upon which iJrashima was sitting extended aver the wall. While he sat there indulging himself in locking at the beauty cf the palace, the two princesses of the Sea God came to a well near the gate. There they saw reflected in the calm, mirror-like surface both pine branch ard man. Though he v ore the coarse clothes of a fisherman, his countenance revealed his ncble character so well that the ladies asked him to attend their evening party in the palace, and there he was entertained as a guest from the Land of Nippon in a very royal manner. The Sea God bestowed upon him some of his own clothes, because he had, weeks before, saved the life of a tortoise, one of the most loyal subjects of the realm. After three days in the palace, the fisherman bethought him of his home, his family, and desired to return to them. The princess was sorry to see him depart and presented to him a box called the Key of Knowledge. This box had two magic sides, which he v,as to consult. The paper side would record in writing the answer to any question put to it; the glass of another side would reveal to him the beuatiful princess whenever fe wished to see her. Eagerly Urashima took the wonderful box, and, raising it three times to his head, to shew his gratitude, he heard the caution to make no attempt to look inside of it or he would suffer a terrible change for his disobedience. Borne by his friend, the tortoise, the fisherman again walked the old seashore of wes ' ern Kyushu. Me arrived at his home, but found all strangers to him; the village had changed to a town; no family awaited his coming. In perplexity he consulted his ' Key of Knowledge, and found that Mikado Tenchi had passed away and that now were the days of Emperor Daigo. Many were the questions answered by the magic box, and, aware of the young blood leaping in his veirs, the fisherman could not understand this flight of time, these changes. Desperate grown, he one day unlocked the gift of the princess. Immediately a strange lassitude surged through his body, and as he gazed into a mirror found within the box, he saw an old man, wrinkled, and with a white beard. It was his own reflection, and en the paper side of the box there was recorded the length of his stay in the palace of the Sea God. He had been a guest of the Sea God for three hundred years. And Urashima Taro, a fisherman of Kyushu, Nippon was buried in the reign of Emperor Da go KivosHi Yabe. a:i|P point g ' yHti ' m J POINT! POINT! POINT! POINT! WHAT IS A POINT?

I am not taught to make anything. Cornelet: X hat mar you then, sir? Gilbert: Marry, sir, I am helping you to mar that which God made, some poor, misguided students, with heavy work. Cornetet: Marry, sir, keep on in this employment, and be naught awhile. Gilbert: Shall I teach your students and study with them, too? Ccrnetet: Know you where you are, sir? Gilbert: O, sir, very well; here on your campus. Mills: Sweet master, be patient; for your father ' s our Prexy ' s remembrance, be at accord.

It was upon the seventh cause. Kiehl: But how was that: how did you find the seventh cause? IVing: Upon a lie seven times removed. I told him, his lady cared naught for him. He was of the opinion that she cared: this is called the Retort Courteous. If I sent him word again, she cared naught, he would send me word, he could make her care: this is called the Quip Modest. If again she cared naught he disabled my opinion: this is called the Reply Churlish. If again, she cared naught, he would answer, I spake not true: this is caled the Reproof Valiant. If again, she cared naught, he would say I lied: this is called the Countercheck Quarrelsome: and so, to the Lie Circumstantial and the Lie Direct. Kiehl: And how often did you say she cared naught? IVing: I durst go no further than the Lie Circumstantial, nor he durst not give me the Lie Direct; and so we shook hands and parted. Kiehl: ' Tis well. For I, too, met him, and was like to have a quarrel. And marry, sir, on the same subject. Exeunt Kiehl and Wing. Scene III. Campus. Enter, Edna and Sarah. Edna: ' Tis strange that Maude does not come. What say you, Sarah? Sarah: By my life, mistress, she will do as she will.

Sarah: Here comes my lady, now. Enter Maude. Edna: Maude, thou art somewhat late. Hast thou heard aught from Daisy? Maude: Marry, my dear Edna. I have. She hath gone to Dayton. Edna: O, how many fathom deep is she in love! But it cannot be sounded: her affection hath an unknown bottom, like the bay of Portugal. Maude: Or rather, bottomless that as fast as she pours affection in it, it runs out. Exeunt Edna, Maude, and Sarah. ACT II. Scene I. Campus. Enter, The Chaperons.

Now, as for this, I think, in itself, there is no hann meant, but it is an injury to the reputation this school has of being first class. I think the students are, for the most part, reasonable, but they are merely thoughtless in the matter. Has any one a statement to make on the subject? Alma: Herr President, es ist my opinion seit drei weeks yet, dasz es ist of the good thing too much. Ich bin in favor sehr of nipping there actions in der bud already still. Ja! Enter, Wagoner. IVagoner: It is my duty. Monsieur President, to state to the assembly that Weinland and Grabill beg to be excused. They are now devoting much of their time to the chicken business, and it is impossble for them to get away at present. Prexy. It seems that quite a few of our number are not here. I am sorry for this, for we have a most important meeting. Are there more remarks? Sanders: I have been waiting some lime for the opportunity of expressing my opinions on this weighty subject. Understand I place the most implicit confidence in the students of Otterbein Uni- versity, but you are aware that all young people are thoughtless, and given to doing things that they regret later. For their own sakes, friends, I think the matter should be looked into. Jones: Fret not thyself because of evil doers; neither be thou envious at the wicked; for there shall be no reward to the evil doer; the candle of the wicked shall be put out. Prexy: Scott, what is your sentiment? Scoit: About all I have to say is that I think it is our duty to stop this. Prexy: Then I will appoint as a committee to investigate affairs, Scott and Kiehl, who will report at the next meeting. Is there a motion to adjourn? IVesl: Monsieur le President, I move we do now adjourn. Exeunt all. EPILOGUE. Heliman: If it be true that good wine needs no bush, ' tis true that a good play needs no epilogue; yet to good wine they do use good bushes, and good plays prove the better by the help of good epi- logues.

I am not fournished like a beggar, therefore, to beg will not become me; my way is to conjure you; and I ' ll begin with the women. I charge you O women, for the love you bear to men, to like as much of this play as pleases you; and I charge you, O men, for the love you bear to women — as I perceive by your simpering that none of you hate them — that betw-een you and the women this play may please.

Well 1 am just as glad to see you. Rex, Old Boy. Let me see — it must be about 19 years since you and I played together on the O. U. gridiron and 1 haven ' t seen you since. Have you had any news from Otterbein lately? Why yes I was called to Columbus a few weeks ago on business and naturally thot I ' d run up to see Westerville and see how things were going at old Otterbein. Well, how did you find everything? Oh, affairs on the boom and the old college moving along about as usual. The same old-time spirit was evident in everything except football. Cupe, I suppose you have been keeping track of football as you used to at school, unless you have lost interest in the game like I have since they have transferred the writeups from the sporting page to the society column. I had heard that there was a great change in football at Otterbein since the faculty took entire charge of athletics but I had no idea that it is as bad as it is. What I was about to tell you, I heard that there was a game on with Kenyon and naturally enougi I was on hand to see it. 1 took a comfortabe seat in the bleachers. You remember how the bleachers looked that our class put up in 1911 ? I didn ' t have long lo wait. Soon the Otterbein eleven came on the field. And it was then that I got my first of a series of surprises for every man of the O. U. team had on a full dress suit and a derby hat. And believe me if you can, Cupe, each fellow had a regular old ' Quincy Malone ' shine on his shoes. A great many of the faces looked familiar so I turned to the fellow next to me and asked him for the line-up. To my surprise every man on the team was a son of one of our schoolmates. Here is the line-up as he gave it to me: Sandy, Jr C Hetzler, Jr L. T. Peck, Jr R. T Arnold. Jr R. G Spring, Jr L. G. Wenger, Jr Q. B. Cap Maeder, Jr R. H. B. Muthersbaugh, Jr L. H Foltz, Jr R. E. Overholt, Jr L. E Bon Durrant, Jr F. B Hebbert, Jr Sub Fries, Jr Sub. I had scarcely finished jotting the line-up down on a piece of paper when Kenyon came out on the field. They too were in full dress suits. Each fellow wore a plug hat and carried an ebony cane with a gold handle. They also wore white pomps with gold buckles on them. You need not be surprised about that for the whole field was covered with Brussels carpet. Next came out a man having on a ministerial garb and carrying a book under his arm about the size of Webster ' s Unabridged Dictionary. He placed the book on a table in the center of the field and sat down in a morris chair beside the book. He was followed by another gentleman similiarly dressed. But in addition he wore a heavy overcoat. Their walk was a litle stiff, but their faces were familiar. My curiosity was aroused again and turning to the man next to me I asked him who they were. Why, he said, the fellow who carried the rule book is Prof. ' Dodger ' and the other is Shirley Wing ' . They have been refereeing all the football games for the last ten years, and they know that ponderous volume by heart. No mistakes are possible. By this time I was entirely bewildered, I turned to my partner and said ' Say, is this to be a football came or a tea party? ' He looked at me in astonishment as much as to say ' What back woods do you 179 hail from? ' But he only answered, ' This is to be the champion game of the season; some of our Profs. have as much as $500 up on this game. Then they lined up like they used to do and the gentlemen with the big book said the game should proceed. You should have seen the center, Sando, carefully adjust the ball on a doiley in the center of the field then tip toe up and kick it like he was urging a setting hen off the nest. The Kenyon half back caught it and started up the field. Right at him came Otterbein ' s famous full back, Bon Durrant, his hat in his hand. When the Kenyon man reached him ' Bondy ' made a courteous bow and asked him to stop and hand the ball over. This was followed by a deafening cheer from the bleachers. The referee called lime. Arnold ' s hair was disarranged and the game could not proceed until R. W. Smith, Jr., came from the side lines and carefully adjusted his locks. Kenyon was penalized 15 yards for this offense. They lined up again. This time Capt. Wenger passed the ball to Muthersbaugh. Kenyon ' s quarter made a misstep and knocked Hetzler over. The whole team held their hands up in horror. The referee again called time. The offense was too unusual this time, as he was not up on this one he had to spend some time leafing thru the book. In the meantime they picked Hetzler up, washed his face, rearranged his clothes and powdered his nose. He cried a little and wanted them to telegraph for his mother, but a big nurse with ribbons in her cap came out, comforted him and gave him a big stick of candy. By this time the referee had found the desired passage. He then read a chapter on rudeness. For this conduct he ruled the fellow out of the game and penalized Kenyon half the length of the field. But just then Maeder spit some tobacco juice on the while pomps of one of Kenyon ' s men. The referee ruled him out of the game and gave the ball to Kenyon. Hebbert took his place and the game proceeded. The Kenyon men rolled the ball around with their canes awhile and after several unsuccessful attempts to press it over the line the first half was over. Both teams retired to Cochran Hall where they were served with pink tea and wafers. After much hand-shaking and numerous apologies for their rudenesses, they strolled leisurely back to the field amidst the cheers of the populace. After bowing to each other the men lined up for the kick-off. This time Kenyon kicked off. Peck received the ball, then he took a pink ribbon out of his pocket whch he had saved for the occasion and tied it around the ball, making a loop by means of which he earned it up the field. When he reached Kenyon ' s full back, he stopped, took off his hat, bowed and presented the ball to him. The Kenyonite put his hand on his heart and promptly declined. Peck insisted; the Kenyon man touched the ground with his forehead and said he wouldn ' t think of it. At this point the referee interfered and said that Kenyon was justified in not taking the ball because Peck had not used the right form of etiquette in presenting it. For this reason, he penalized Otterbein thirty yards. They lined up at the thirty-yard line. Wenger gave the signal, which was two bars of Love me ' Irene ' and the World is Mine. Foltz look the ball and waltzed down the field holding an imaginary skirt. Unmolested he made a touchdown, making the score 5 to in favor of Otterbein. Again both teams lined up. This time Overholt made the kick-off. Kenyon received the ball and after having it carefully washed, started towards our goal. Spring forgot himself and accidentally bumped into Kenyon ' s left end. Both bowed, apologized and promised each other never to do it again. The referee was not willing to let it pass at that, however, and penalized Otterbein 10 yards. Again they had a dispute as to who was to carry the ball. Otterbein insisted that Kenyon carry the ball. Kenyon again declined. Finally the referee suggested they flip a coin. Otterbein got heads and had to take the ball. Fullback BonDurrant here made the most sensational play of the season. While the two teams were earnestly discussing whether or not a Sunday school teacher who attends Sunday baseball is fit to referee a football game, Bondy leisurely carried the ball over the line for the second touchdown. The referee announced that the time was up. Kenyon ' s captain treated our men to Spear- mint gum and both teams left the field, amidst great cheering from the grandstand. 180 Mrs T. M.

Westerville, O., Dec. 10. — A real ghost, Vk ' ith strength enough to play with a heavy wooden bed like a toy, is making daily visits to Coblentz Hall, the club house of a dozen boy students of Otterbein University. In the afternoon the sleeping apartments on the third floor are deserted, and each day betv ' een the hours of three and five the boys on the sec- ond floor can hear the bed, in the front room upstairs, moving around over the floor and the casters creaking and rolling. At first the apparition was ridiculed as a student prank, some clever device rigged up by the Coblentz boys, who are noted for their ingenious tricks; but daily demonstra- tions have recently been given in which stu- dents and towns people have thronged the building, and various methods of detecting some physical means or mechanical device have failed. Of course there are still a good many doubting Thomases, for college people are supposed to be too higSly educated to believe in ghosts, but new converts to Spirit- ualism are being added each day, and the mystery now has the whole college and town agog. The noise was first noticed several weeks ago by J. S. Jones of Coshocton and R. B. Sando of Pottsdam, whose rooms are under- neath the haunted one. However they sup- posed it was the matron making the beds and paid no further attention to the matter, but when the strange noises were repeated day after day, an investigation was made about a week ago, which failed to disclose a living being anywhere on the third floor. The other boys in the house ridiculed Jones and Sando, but the next day were con- vinced as the visitor again manifested itself at the usual time. The bed was tied with strings,, chairs placed against it, and the win- dows and door of the room were locked. Shortly afterwards the strange noise was heard and upon rushing into the room the boys found every cord broken and the chairs sitting three feet from the bed. Yesterday these same results were repeated, and in addi- tion to a written question left on the bed, Spirit, who are you? was found the strange reply, Thou shalt not, in old-fashioned style of writing. All attempts to see the spirit have failed, as it refuses to appear when there is anyone piesent in the room. R. B. S.A.NDO. HITS AND MISSES ' Love is ownership. ' Ethel Shlpe.

Clara Hendrix ' s gift of gab squared - - Harriet ' s bad temper squared (when Miss Denton wants toast for breakfast) make the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle, squared, on which is built all dormilory wrangling. CHEMICAL MIXTURE BY HAZEL CODNER. Take equal parts of bad temper and sweet roommate and mix. The result is a precipitate by the law of substitution, the equation being: Bad temper — sweet roommate := bad roommate - sweet temper — hot air. The bad roommate being the precipitate, can be filtered out and finally expelled, leaving you the sweet temper. — Amen. 194 nnga frnm thr l rart Miss Richards, who is commonly called Bert, Is by no means a typical flirt.

To be young and to be handsome is to be popular, or ' tis popular to be handsome and young. True anyway you put it, and capable of conclusive proof any old day in the week. But one of the n-O-A ideal demonstrations of the principle just enunciated, is being given daily just now at one of the local hospitals. , , Walter Bailey, young, perhaps 22, student at Otterbein, athletic and handsome, recently was brought there for an operation. He was placed in loom 221. Young Baily instantly found what it means to be all that he is. i l j l- k Pretty nurses fed him with a spoon. They pampered and petted him, they mothered fiim, they watched over him as if he were an infant in arms. Time for his medicine-takmg meant a stampede ot pretty nurses to room 221, 221 was smothered with care. j l- It still goes on. Even the best looking nurse at the hospital hovers about 221. Its a byword, this 221 221 is doing nicely. Best case you ever saw. So nice to wait on. These are among the snat;hes of conversation you hear, if you listen to the nurses. And really 221 is doing well. X ' e had a professor named Weinland He was so terribly fine and — He fed chickens with a spoon Just to make the critters croon — That ' s what did our Prof. Weinland. suppose you ' 11 hi A TYPICAL BIOLOGY RECITATION Proj.

GEMS FROM THE SIBYL BOX Maeder is the name of a young Sophomore Who can always be seen around Cochran Hall door; He has worked hard and late To get a steady date, But now all his troubles are o ' er. Of all the dancers of Cochran Hall Chloe Niswonger surely can beat them all: In the Scholtische, the circle, the waltz and Iwo-step She certainly has worked up an enviable rep. Now Laura is the name of a young prepite Whose other name you may know as X ' hite; She studies hard, she studies late, And they say for an answer her Profs, never wail. Lemons are generally not very nice. But surely we can take Yola ' s advice. For her Lemon, yoj see. Is as nice as can be. So I s ' pose it ' ll end up with some shoes and some rice. 203 Here ' s a man and here ' s a lassie To each other ne ' er were sassie.

He dropped a match in a vial, And after a while Prof, found one front tooth and a cuff. Camp plays the piano — doodle-da-dee! And he bangs in every imaginable key ' Till his brow with honest dew is wet And neighboring flats are marked ' To let. ' But loyal Irene stays near to see How he plays his wonderful doodle-da-dee And watches him with eyes that shine As he wrings out music almost(?) divine. Hazel Cor dner: Otterbein is an old hook and eye place. Everybody comes here to get hooked up. 204 There was a fair co-ed named Esta, Didn ' t know which one she liked the besfa; There were Bowers and Carl, And Roscoe (a pearl), I can scarcely name over the resta. Now Carl was a student at O. S. U., While Bowers and Roscoe were the same at O. U., And wherever she ' d go She ' d have one for a beau, ' Till she hardly knew just what she should do. But I think, should you take her apart, And quiz her, deep down in her heart, She ' d confess with a sigh And a drop of her eye, I guess, well, I guess it ' s Carl Gearharl.

Dr. SanJers: We dont think enough about figure. Prex ): It would seem that the easiest way to become a thief is to register in a college. Dr. Jones: To make points — that ' s the thing. And there ' s where logic comes in. I haven ' t gone into the subject deeply, but it ' s something that requires thought. The Matron: A point is an engagement for a semester. Now, young ladies. Invite the young gentlemen to call and embrace your opportunities. Mr. Moon: The Ass ' n steps are for the exclusive use of the students — for certain purposes. Monsieur Thuma studies French, In which he is a star; But when it comes to studying girls He doesn ' t go so far. She squeezes in her waist until The other girls seem on the shelf; She thinks that she is dressed to kill. While merely dressed to kill herself. Ada Brown. ' Eat today and forget all sorrow.

Don ' t they wrinkle, lose their shape, wear out easy, become ill-fitting and worry you more than clothes that are made-to-order ? THE REASON IS PLAIN. The goods are cheap ; the tailoring is poor.
