Impossible to tell, For the only way to express its worth ls one good Senior yell. But the Sibyl wants a history Of the class of seventeen To keep np the standards of Otterbein As it has always been. A history of the Senior Class- Oh, that just makes me think Of the push that Devil's Half Acre saw, XVhen we were just on the brink Of college entrance, fresh and green, The one class made to shine .Xnd bring in laurels thick and fast For dear old Otterbein. That Freshman push was a grand affair Full worthy of our class: The pop was good, the fun was high, But our seventeen Prexy to the last Preferred to entertain the girls Up in the Calm and quiet wood: Su away from the Ere he sure did stray 'Til the chaps made him be good. On the way home from that glorious fun The school bell was espied, . l'hcy carried it back to Cochran Hall And rang' it far and wide: l'hen the neighbors were waked by the niidnig Made with the bell and a wireg .Xnd one of our dear Professors rose To hunt the terrible Ere. Do you remember the tug' of war? lt wasn't held at the creek llut down on the old athletic field, .Xnd oh, how our boys were meek! For the rope did break with the first wild pull 1They said it was underhand playl lint whatever the cause, or whose the blame, The Sophomores gained the day. ht din 1 TTER El Then we had our revenge-or tried indeed, For we spotted their bob-sled tied. VVe held it 'til the Sophies wept, Then we let 'em have their ride. Later we had a sleigh ride ourselves Over at Central College, And the fall we took 'mid the snowy deeps Added much to our fund of knowledge. One night our classmates planned a raid, 'Twas the same old bunch of boys, They played with the screens in Cochran Hall As if they were but toys. The first real entrance was rather a joke For they fell 'mid the pots and tin ware: But they got away with some peaches and cream, And the girls had pretty poor fare. That spring was the scene of a great event That for loudest applause did call, For our seventeen class won the championship In the inter-class game of baseball. In track work and team work we're always right th You can't put us down if you tryg And the class that expects to win over us Wfill iind they are mighty small fry. Every year of our course it's the same old tale, VVhether athletics, lessons or pranks. We'x'e given our enemies a pretty close shave, Our grades would please even the cranks. In football our stars are well renowned Such as Counseller, Red or Ling, Debate this year boasts a seventeen squad, In fact we're quite the thing. Thus it goes, you see, with this Senior Class That is just about to leave, CFC VVe must blow our own horn, else it won't be blown, I-Iow else could we credit receive? If you think we're too boastful in singing our praise, If it really is a bore, Remember that soon we must say farewell, And will bother you no more. E. E. M. , fm Edward L.

Another year, and the home run will have been made. As a player after much striving reaches third base, so We, after great effort and much perseverance, have reached Junior standing. And as a player always plays the game over again in his own mind, so we, too, may be permitted to review the game of college life which we have thus far experienced. NVe have never been great in numbers, but have, in spite of this handicap, always been represented in the various phases of college life, especially in athletic and musical activities. Such phrases as Small but Mighty and Quality not Quantity have been our constant defense against the larger classes. Qur progress from the time we were Freshmen until the present represents a composite succession of events. At times we have achieved great things, at others, we have failed. Some events stand out very prominently in the foreground, while others, dim and almost indefinable, form an obscure background. The most distinct recollection from our Fresh- man year is the daring capture of the Sophomore toastmaster, which resulted in a disturbed banquet and the appearance of live bald heads upon the campus the following morning. In our Sophomore year we entertained the class of 1916 at one of the most successful banquets ever given, and also won the interclass basketball championship. This fall, when enthusiasm over football was at its zenith, we presented The Touchdown, a play abounding in college life and scenes, which was well received by the school, and met with great success. From the beginning of our career as a class, we have known that it would fall to our lot to edit the 1917 Sibyl, and so we have directed most of our efforts this year towards the perfecting of this book. In presenting this Sibyl to the col- 32 lege, we have endeavored to portray to the best of our ability the true Otterbein spirit. It represents the constant efforts and hard work of almost every member of the class. and al- though it may have lts imperfections, we, as a class, can proudly say that we have done our best. -if C J H ...-,: -.-...-... 3: ,...., .1 ' HOTT I BUT Il S' Neva M.

SERVICE as ' 39 sv-1 , ,r .1 ,l -N' .kg Q1 f - --Q Sophomore Class AN it be that less than two years have elapsed since the class of 1919 was first known in Qtterbein? ls it pos- sible that in so short a period the ninety robust Fresh- men who walked across the campus for the first time have now such unprecedented recognition? Statistics prove that this is the case. As soon as they arrived in Westerville, had been in- troduced to Mr. Baker and had taken a comprehensive survey of the whole situation, the members of this class began to ex- pand and do things. For the sake of being specific a few of the many must be set down. First of all, they selected the following able-bodied and strong-minded men and women as officers: President-Glen Ream, Vice-President-Walter Schutz, Secretary-Audrey Nelson, Treasurer-Fenton Stearns. They had their first push'l at Devil's Half Acre, which was a raging success. At the banquet in the spring they made the Juniors speech- less with excitement and over-eating. Then as an altogether fitting and proper climax to such a year they went to Blendon Heights and had their last good time as Freshmen. The second year in their history has found the class roll practically unbroken. Again they have most judiciously selected officers as follows: President-Clair Siddallq Vice- President-Ramey Huber, Secretary-Gladys Lake, Treas- urer-Ray Harmelink. Soon after they returned, they enjoyed a pleasant reunion at the Fairgrounds, where every one in a more subdued manner Qtheir Freshmen friskiness having been quite aband- onedj was amused by playing new and original games and drinking coffee. Although there was no scrap day this year, several of the Freshmen have been heard to remark that they would prefer to be beaten up all at once than to have it in such frequent installments. VVith such a record in two years, who can stretch their imagination around what will be done by this class in four? No one, of course, nor can any one conceive of the brilliant future of each individual in it. However, this much is certain, the class of 1919 will always stand out as a class that made old Otterbein famous. H. B., '19. 41 Sophomore Lois Adams, Westerville, Ohio Grace Armentrout, Roanoke, Va.

FRESH Xa I J s 1 4 v Y --Q S'-I X -4 '1 FTCSIIIDHD Class OT unlike preceding classes, the class of 1920 made its debut with that verdant lustre so pecu- liar to Freshmen. Unable to cope at iirst with the many problems that college life presented, we soon became acclimated to our new surroundings through the kindly advice of the upper classxnen and an occasional ap- plication of Alum Creek water by the Sophomores. Shortly after the beginning of school, we met for the first time and organized as a class. The following officers were elected: President-Herbert Hallg Vice- President-Lyman Hertg Secretary-Gladys Swigertg Treasurer-Roy Pedeng Yell Master-lra Mayne. Our first push was held at Devil's Half Acre. where a unique entertainment and the customary refreshments were enjoyed. At the beginning of the second semester another frolic was held in the gymnasium, and a pleasant evening was spent in playing' appropriate games. Wie have taken an active part in all phases of school life. Ten of our men were out for football, four were on the basketball squad and two were chosen as alternates on the debate teams. XVe have also been interested in the work of the Christian Associations and are now con- tributing to the programs of the literary societies. In the interclass basketball series we successively defeated the Sophomore-s. Preps and juniors, thus winning the championship. Plans are now under way for the entertainment of the juniors at the annual spring banquet. Members of both classes are eagerly anticipating the event. 41 FFCSIIIHHH Wilma Adams, Westerville, Ohio Kenneth Arnold, Fostoria, Ohio James Franklin Blue, Sidney, Ohio Helen Buker, Killbuck, Ohio Grace Barr, West Carrollton, Ohio Fae Davis, Westerville, Ohio Merrick Demorest, Westerville, Ohio William Evans, Madison.

Not only through their studies and their more dignified pursuits do the Preps, as the students of this department are dubbed, make their presence known about the school. They might also be called a Pepl' or- ganization because of their active participation in all branches of school life. At present they are furnishing some of the best athletes in the school and are well represented in the various sports. The 'APreps, upon reaching college standing, should be able to assume positions of leadership and responsibility. because of their previous training and associations. 4?

The courses offered in this department are planned to give the best all around education to the girl, who, as a trained worker, may be com- petent to perform such services as will justify her position as a member of the social group in which she is placed. Wie are not aiming at the vocational idea of home economics, but rather towards a training that is informational, disciplinary. aesthetic, scientific. cul- tural, professional and socializing. This generation is waking up to the fact that we need special training for the most important work in nation building, that of successful making and keeping of the home. Household administration is indeed a profession which requires the 1I'lOSt careful train- ing of women of the best moral fiber and the highest mental equipment. The broadest education for the woman who is to make the home of the future must have as its center the training in that field of knowledge called Home Economics, if this education is to be most efficient. It is therefore quite appropriate that Otterbein should provide practical and scientific as well as cultural training in Home Economics for her young that they may be able to meet their future obligations either as teachers or as home makers.

The school proved itself to be one of the most helpful and attractive fields in which to labor. Its main departments are three in number: general art, which leads to a B. F. A. degree: llOI'l'l12ll art, which trains the student to teach art to the child: applied design, which deals with the various arts and crafts. Good work is being accomplished by a growing class of enthusiastic and hard working students.

Besides its value from the cultural and educational point of view, the school of music connected will any college lills an important place in a variety of ways. Our School of Music is no exception to this rule, and its students are always found to be in demand in the various college activities. Two courses of study are offered which lead to graduation. The first, which leads to the regular diploma of the department, has no specific literary requirements. The second leads to the Bachelor of Music degree, and calls for a very high order of musicianship, together with its specific literary re- quirements, Students are specializing in piano, vocal, stringed instruments, pipe-organ, etc., each of which may lead either to the degree or the diploma. The department is sponsor for a number of flourishing college or- ganizations, among which might be mentioned the lXlen's Glee Club, the Otterbein Choral Society, the College Orchestra, College Band, Otterbein Concert Quartet, C. ll. Church Choir, and others which have as their musical director some member of the School of Music Faculty. XYith the acquisition of two good modern pipe-organs, tone of which is installed in our chapelj there is new impetus noticed to the already fine spirit of the department, and past records, however high. are due to be sur- passed.

Rike was born at Dayton, Ohio, and completed his early education in the public schools of that city. In 1SHl he entered Otterbein University. and was a very prominent member of the Philomathean Literary Society. In 1800 he received his A. B. degree and prepared himself for a business career at the XYilts Business College in Dayton. He was then employed in the Rike-Kumler Company, of which his father was president. He took an interest in the business and proved himself capable in every way. Upon the death of his father he was made president. The Rike-Kumler Company. under his efncient management, is now one of the best general department stores in the middle west. Mr. Rike has been very active in the Greater Dayton As- sociation, serving as president for three years. He was one of the nrst advocates of the Commission-Manager form of government for Dayton. Mr. Rike stands high in the esteem of the business world. At the present time he is president of the National Retail Dry Goods Association. He is a prominent member of the First U. B. Church in Dayton, and a loyal alumnus of Otterbein. I-le has served for several years as president of the Board of Trustees. 11' n . John Haywood Francis OHN Haywood Francis was born at Greenbush, Preble County, Qhio, on May 18, 1866. As a boy he attended the public school of Ohio, and upon obtaining a teacher's certificate. taught for two years. He then entered Otterbein University, passing one year in the Academy and three years in the college. In 1892 he entered the San Joaquin College at Wloodbridge, California, where he completed his course, graduating with the degree of B. A. He be- came the head of the Commercial Department of this college. In 1891 his Alma Mater conferred upon him the degree of M. A. In 1896 he was engaged as head of the Commercial Department of the high school at Los Angeles, in which position he continued for five years. He then became principal of the high school. He held this position for four years, during which time he became a strong advocate of technical education. This led to the founding of the Polytechnic High School of Los Angeles. He served as its first principal from 1905 to 1910, when he was chosen as superintendent of the public schools. where he remained until he came to Columbus in 1916 to become superintendent of schools in that city. 57 Nolan Rice Best OLAN Rice Best was born at Rich Hill, Ohio. He entered Dtterbein University and graduated in 1892 with a B. A. degree. During the years 1892-3 he was employed as a proof reader at the U. B. Publishing House in Dayton. He then became editor of the Daily Signal at Zanesville, where he served during 1895-6. Later he accepted a posi- tion of city editor of the Daily Courier. He held this position for two years, when he was made Managing Editor of the same paper in 1898. In 1901 he was made editor of the Interior at Chicago, where he remained for nine years, resigning to become editor of the Con- tinent in New York City. In 1908 he married Miss Anna Fulton of Louisville, Ky. Otterbein should be proud of the fact that although pressed with the heavy duties of his high office in the field of journalism, he still devotes much time to the interests of his Alma Mater. 58 Mrs. L. R. Harford RS. L. R. Harford, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 1. B. Ressler was born at Mt. Pleasant, Pa., where she lived until 1866, when she entered the preparatory department of Qtterbein University. In 1872 she graduated from college with a diploma from the English- Latin course. During her Senior year in college and one year after her graduation she taught in the VVesterville public schools. In the following year Mrs. Harford was elected to the faculty of Lebanon Valley College, where she taught until her marriage to Dr. Keister, Professor of Hebrew in the Dayton Theological Seminary. In 1875 she organized with six other women the XVomen's Mis- sionary Association, and was employed as secretary. After her hus- band's death in 1880 she was elected editor of the XVomen's Evangel, resigning in 1893 upon her marriage to Mr. Harford of Omaha, Neb. In 1888 Mrs. Harford was appointed a delegate to the XVorld's Mis- sionary Conference in London. In 190.5 she was made the national president of the W. M. A. She was again honored in 1915 by being called to Los Angeles to serve as chairman of the National Convention of the Young Won1en's Christian Association. Here her executive ability caused here to be elected as president of the organization at the close of the convention. Mrs. Harford has always been a loyal member of Philalethea, and that same ability with which she at one time swayed the members of her society now sways many thousands of women of the two great organiza- tions of which she is president. Otterbein is indeed proud to list her among its graduates. 59 - . Mrs. Mary G. Funk F all the Alumnae of Gtterbein perhaps no one is truer to her Alma Mater than Mrs. Mary G. Funk. She is always ready to lend a helping hand to the college when her services are needed. llfhile in college Mrs. Funk won literary distinction, having taken first honors at several oratorical contests and also in a state contest. Her life since graduation from Qtterbein in 1881 has been one of inspiring service and full of experiences. In 1900 she was made an ordained minister of Al- legheny Conference. Besides being a delightful home- niker, she has very ably assisted her husband in his ministerial work and had a wonderful influence in the church and in the community. Mrs. Funk is a well-known contributor to the Nllatchword and Evangel. Quite frequently she gives very helpful talks to the Y. XV. C. A. girls of the college. She will long be remembered as one of the most in- Huential women that Otterbein has ever given to the church and to the world. G0 i Frank D. Wilsey RANK D. VVilsey, a trustee of Otterbein University, is a sincere and sympathetic friend of the students and a loyal supporter of the interests of the college. He was born at Pageville, Pennsylvania, and when a small boy moved with his parents to Ohio. His early school days were spent in the public and private schools of Willianis County. In the fall of 1872 he entered Otterbein University and proved himself to be a man of great initiative. He graduatd in 1876 with a B. S. degree. After graduation he entered the Eastman National Business College of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., finishing the course in one year. Since then he has been a successful and prosperous business man. Mr. VVilsey is now president of the New York Boat Oar Company, president of the Stryker Boat Oar and Lumber Company, and Commissioner of Education in New York. In 1916 his Alma Mater conferred upon him the degree of LL. D. He is a man of broad views and a true friend of his Alma Mater. 61 ..5,5,,s. ranlc Orville Clements Hli dominant note in the character of Frank Orville Clements is energy. During his life in Otterbein he was a very active worker in Y. H. C. .X. ,-Xs a student he manifested the same enthusiasm for his work that has characterized him as a chemist. Since graduation his career has been marked by many great achieve- ments. ln the fall of lsmi he entered Ohio State University, and won an assistant professorship in chemistry. A position was offered him as chemist of the Pennsylvania Railroad, which he accepted. 'While the chief chemist was away on a trip to Europe, Mr. Clements acted in this capacity. From Altoona he went to Omaha, Neb.. where for two years he held the position of iirst assistant chemist of the Union Pacific Rail- road. ln 151013 he accepted a position as chief chemist of the National Cash Register Company, at Dayton, receiving one of the largest salaries of any Otterbein graduate. During his six years there he greatly im- proved his department and saved thousands of dollars for the company. Recently he resigned this position to become chief chemist of the Dayton Engineering Laboratories Company. His ability has been recognized by men all over the country. Mr. Clements has proved himself an admirable Graduate of Otterbein, and b nothing can be said of him but the very best.

Only four years after the founding of the school a society was organized which was called The Otterbein Philo- xnathean Literary Society. About 1554 in order to secure better advantages this organization was divided into two societies. Both at that time were but parts of the same body, but in 1857 they became separate and distinct organizations. In 1852 the tirst literary society for the young ladies was organized which bore the name Otterbein Philalethean Literary Societyf' In 1870 the college building was completely destroyed by tire and the private property of this society perished. lVhen the new building was nearing completion the question oi literary societies again attracted attention of the students, resulting in some dissention as to organization. Eleven ladies by permission of the faculty withdrew and organized what is now called Cleiorhetean Literary Society. lVith two societies for gentlemen and two for ladies and dehnite bound- aries between them, sharp rivalry and honorable antagonism have been in- centives to excel not only in numbers but also in the character of literary work. From the history of these societies it can easily be seen that the desire for literary and parliamentary drill has permeated the very atmosphere of Gtterbein students since the founding of the institution. To live within the sound of the old college bell is to be imbued with the literary society spirit. All students are expected to become members of a society and some times very wholesome influence is used to convince a student of the advant- ages to be obtained. He is not long in a society until he sees the advantages of active membership, which schools him in literary work and parliamentary law. The literary standard of each society is very high and each member has such intense interest in the excellence of the work done by his society that to fail in doing his part is almost a disgrace. About four times a year each society has an open session, to which the other societies have a hearty invitation. -si Graduation from college and one year of active work in a society en- titles one to Z1 diploma from the society. The inter-society fraternal spirit which now exists is conducive to the best interests of Otterbein. Exit' -kgs?-aggq.

For several years this organization has been making a fight for its place in the sun and at present bids fair to accomplish its purpose. During the past years the great task has been to arouse or stimulate an interest, but today the reverse is true, and every man must make good before his services are excepted. This new life is largely the result of the activity of the director, Professor Spessard, and the efforts of the managers. The club possesses a thorough organization, with a president and manager as chief officials. Rigid rules and regulations are enforced and an exacting business policy is adhered to. The strength of the club lies in its ensemble or glee numbers and not in its individual work. Only the highest grade of music is pro- duced. The program aims to provide enough humor in its encores to make it good-natured, but as main numbers such productions as The Invictus, Men of the Trail, Lights of Cowtownf' Swing Along, and Auf Wiedersel1en are used. The club is composed of twenty-one men and carries the Varsity Ouartet and Professor Fritz, an excellent reader. The program is there- fore quite varied, consisting of glee, qu-artet, solo, instrumental and readmg numbers. - Every appearance of this splendid organization has meant new laurels, and return dates are a common occurrence. The season opened at Marion, Ohio, with a concert on February 23rd. During the Easter vacation a trip was made in northern Ohio, Beach City, Canton and Barbertown being visited. Miss Verda Miles, Contralto, and Professor C. A. Fritz, Reader, assisted with several excellent numbers. The personnel of the club is as follows: Tenors I Tenors II. C. E. Watts L. j. Michael F.

Replogle 75 Vs P211 r sv PL The Otterbein Choral Society N February 27, 1917, the Otterhein Choral Society, assisted by Cecil Fanning, the noted Columbus baritone, gave an interesting pro- gram in the college chapel. The Village Black- smith, sung by the society, as well as the songs by Mr. Fanning, were especially enjoyable. The Peace Pipe, taken from Longfellow's I-liawatliaf' was the most elaborate number of the evening, and was a decided success. Young Lochinvar was also given by the society with great effectiveness. This proved the most entertaining concert of like character that has been rendered this year. Professor Spessard deserves the highest commenda- tion for his Work in training and directing the so- ciety, and mention must also be made of the excel- lent work of Professor Grabill and Miss Grace Moog at the piano and organ, as well as of the individual work of the members of the society themselves. I .. Photo by Blackman The tterbein rchestral HE College Urchestra is perhaps the least heard of musical organization in Otterbein. This does not, however, detract from its importance. The orchestra invites talent from the student body to make up its in- strumentation, and the instruction is free to all. At least one public concert is given during the year, but on various other occasions this organization makes its appearance. The music rendered is quite in keeping with that of any other high class orchestra, being both of classic and popular nature. and within the understanding' and appreciation of the listeners.

It is the band that leads the parade preceding an athletic rally or game, and furnishes entertainment for the students and visitors during commence- ment week. As in the college orchestra, the instruction in the band is free and deserves no little attention from those who are able to play. Besides ap- pearing in public on many informal occasions, it also gives a public concert each year. The band is under the efficient leadership of the following of- ficers: A. R.

This has, perhaps, been due to the friendly rivalry which has always existed among the literary societies, and which very naturally has tended to develope the forensic ability of Otterbein students. All activities are under the control of the Public Speaking Council. This is a representative body consisting of two members elected annually by each of the four literary societies and three members of the faculty, one of whom shall be the head of the Public Speaking Department. At present our Public Speaking Council is composed of the following persons: President, joseph O. Todd fPhilophroneaj3 Vice President, Vernon L. Phillips fPhil0- phroneaj : Secretary, Gladys R. Lake fCleiorheteaj g Treasurer, Alice L. Hall lPhilalethea'l: A. VVayne Neally fPhilomatheaj: Robert E. Kline fPhilo- matheaij 3 Vida G. XVilhelm fPhilaletheaj 1 Ethel M. Hill fffleiorheteajg Pro- fessor Charles A. Fritz of the Department of Public Speaking, Professor Charles Snavely of the Department of Political Science and Professor Cary O. Altman of the Department of English Composition. For the financial support of this work, each student is required to pay a fee of fifty cents at the time of matriculation. An interesting phase of the forensic work at Otterbein is the holding each year of two prize contests. one, an oratorical contest for juniors and seniors and the other a declaination contest for freshmen and sophomores. The prizes 1315, S10 and S-31 are offered by Dr. Howard H. Russell, founder of the Anti-Saloon League. The declamation contest was held this year on January 23rd. The Hrst prize was awarded to Freda Frazier, who read Reve- lations in Housekeepingf' second prize to Grace Barr, who read Bobby Shafts 1 Ira Mayne won third prize by his interpretation of that comic selec- tion The Cyclopeedyf' The oratorical contest was held March 28th. A. lVayne Neally won first prize, delivering Constructive Substitution. V. L. Phillips took second place with Prohibition Plus. J. P. Hendrix won third prize with The Heritage of Alcohol. Mr. Neally represented Gtterbein at the Central District Oratorical Contest, and was awarded first place by the judges. . Oratory QM Association N order to provide for the permanent fellowship of those who have repre- sented Otterbein in forensic contests the Oratory OH Association has been organized. All persons who have represented Otterbein in inter- collegiate forensic contests are eligible. Members of this association wear a pin signifying their membership. A banquet of present and graduate members is held every year during commencement week. The organization is under the leadership of the following officers: President, Y. L.

A. is significant of the important part the Association has played in the social and spiritual life of the college. Loyally standing by the school through many grave crises, always exercising a strong inHuence in molding the lives and characters of many of her graduates, the Y. M. C. A. has become an inseparable part of old Otterbein. There is no other organization that comes closer to the lives of the men of the college than the Y. M. C. A. Both the inspiring addresses of men of note, and the less eloquent, though frequently as effective talks by students themselves, tend to strengthen the characters and ideals of all those who are privileged to listen. The Y. M. C. A. is not a narrow institution. By creating a high order of social life, by encouraging clean athletics, by endorsing prin- ciples of social service, and by developing a high appreciation of the church and its teachings it is doing a most effective work. The Association is enjoying a very successful year under the efficient leadership of Mr. Turner, who is assisted by the following cabinet Vice President ............ J. B.

The Tuesday evening meetings are very in- teresting and helpful. Often special music is enjoyed. and at times noted speakers ar obtained, which adds interest to the programs. The Association takes an active part in the social life of the Col- lege. On the first Saturday in May the girls serve a breakfast which is always well attended and greatly enjoyed by all. A Christmas party is also a very enjoyable affair. The gifts exchanged are distributed among the poor, thus affording a splendid opportunity for social service work. At Easter, too, flowers are sent to the sick. At the annual conference of the Y. XV. C. A. at Eagles Mere our Association was represented by four delegates, who received many valu- able suggestions for carrying on the work. The Association is trying to be of as much service to the college as possible, and generously responds to all worthy appeals.

This body is known as the Volun- teer Band. This organization has sent many missionaries into both the home and foreign fields, who have done their part in Christianizing the world. Because of their earnestness and sincerity of purpose they have won the esteem of their fellow students, and although everyone cannot take an active part in the work, the importance of the Yolunteer Band is uni- versally recognized. International Prohibition Association LTHOUGH the International Prohibition Association has not been very active for the past few years, the growing interest in state-wide prohibition has given this organization a new impetus for work, and the membership is rapidly increasing. At the Tri-State Convention held in Lexington, Ky.. last December, Otterbein was represented by live students, who received a number of new ideas which will enable the leaders to do much more efficient work.

Z Q PUBLICATIONS ' The Otterbein Review N the day of the sixty-second anniversary of the founding of Otterbein, April 215, 1909, the Otterbein Review entered the field of college journalism. It was a fitting way to observe the Occa- sion by bringing into existence a newspaper which is now a member of the Ohio College Press Association, and regarded as one of the best publications in the organization. The first issue was a modest little four-page sheet with all the lines of college activity represented. ln May, 1910, the present eight- page style of the Review appeared. Special issues have been regularly printed for the commencement season, usually consisting of sixteen pages. From the first the business men of both Columbus and XVester- ville have supported the publication with plenty of advertising matter and have given the members of the Philomathean Literary Society ample assurance that they are backing the enterprise. The weekly issues of the paper are enlivened with engravings, car- toons and jokes. Everything is done to make it a live publication. The subscription list has steadily increased, a larger number of people en- joying the paper now than ever before. The Otterbein Review is now in its eighth year. having enjoyed ever increasing prosperity, and it will always be its policy to serve its readers and the college which it represents to the best of its ability.

On that day the Philophronean Pub- lishing Company was organized and incorporated with a capital stock of 3500. The staff, which at first consisted of six members, has increased until at present there are twelve. The Aegis is a literary monthly issued during the college year. It has always attempted to represent faithfully and impartially the various interests of the college. lt has been invaluable as a record of the pro- ceedings around the college for the past quarter century and more, be- ing for many years the only student publication. It ordinarily consists of thirty-two pages, with a special commencement number each June. In addition to the literary department, due attention is given to Ath- letics,'Alumnals, the Christian Associations, Locals, etc., and an attempt is made to reflect the life of the University in its pages.

Scattered throughout the world were the tiny leaves of the great oak tree of knowledge, upon which Apollo had in- scribed in golden ink the names and fates of individuals. Sibylla determined to search far and wide until she had col-- lected these leaves, and then present them to Apollo as a lasting proof of her devotion. The path over which she travel- ed was rocky and lined with many thorns, and the task became more and more difficult. After many years of search she returned to Appolo. This is the fruit of my toil, said the weary woman, spreading before Apollo her ponderous volumes. Here are nine Sibyllan books, but the tenth is yet to be found. l-ler task completed, Sibylla then vanished from the world, but her noble example remained to portray the united and un- tiring efforts uf the present discoverers of the tenth Sibyllan book. XYe, the members of the Junior class have collected the golden leaves of college life, and have bound them together with bonds of devotion for our Alma Mater. XYe have en- deavored to present a true picture of college life, as well as an accurate record of the important events of the past two years. a just as Sibylla disappeared from the world after the com- pletion of her task, we must also pass from these college halls, but the 1917 Sibyl will remain as a lasting memorial to the class of 1918.

Thai r l l 1 I 1 The Varsity Gu Association HE Varsity O Association is an organization composed of athletes who have made their letter in any branch ot athletics in school. The purpose of the organization is to further the interests of athletics in Qtterbein. Before any applicant may become a member, he must go through an initiation that tests every side of his nature. The social life of the Varsit ' O consists of occasional out-door 3 pushes by a camphre, where boxing, wrestling, races and other stunts are put on, and the big banquet at the end of the year, for which all the alumnal members return to partake of the roast pig' and tell remmicences of the past. The association stands ready to do everything within its power to make Qtterbein a success in athletics. The emblems of the organization are the O and the Pm, which every member highly prizes. 99 COACH HAL J. IDD1Nc.s Otterbein Athletic N order to aid the cause of athletics in Otterbein, the Otterbein Ath- letic Club was organized in December 1913, with the purpose of securing financial aid for all forms of athletics. At first only a few were vitally interested, but soon the member- ship rose until two hundred members, representing several flourishing organizations, are now enrolled. Its exact position in the life of the university is hard to estimate, but its purpose of service and co-opera- tion ought to justify its permanency. The Otterbein Athletic Club has for its object: First, to give finan- cial assistance in obtaining adequate coaching: second, in doing certain legitimate soliciting among students and prospective students, third, to organize the alumni spirit for the benefit of athletics. Through the Otterbein Athletic Club Hal rl. lddings, a man of recognized ability, was secured to coach football and basketball during the past season. Mr. lddings understood these games thoroughly and under his coaching two very successful seasons were completed. His ability and fair treatment won for him the respect and admiration of all the players. It is deeply regretted by the entire student-body, faculty and alumni that Mr. lddings cannot be secured for another year. How- ever, his coaching will never be forgotten for he will long be remem- bered as one uf the best coaches that Otterbein has ever had. 100 1 S 9'-4 4 . ,f Q AQ N w XX, X H QA V w y,,, fvfwffx .

XVhen practice began, about thirty new men were on the field, and with ten letter men from the previous year as a nucleus a strong fighting team was soon developed. Much credit is due to Coach Iddings, who by his ex- cellent football knowledge and magnetic personality, won the admiration of every man on the team. It was the team's loyalty to their coach, as well as to their Alma Mater, which spurred them on and enabled them to win many V1CtOI'16S. Bill Counseller proved to be one of the best captains that Otterbein has ever had, and was always on the job encouraging his men to fight hard and win the game. The season opened at Granville, where Otterbein defeated Denison in a hard fought game, featured by strong offensive playing on both sides. At the close of the second quarter Lingrel passed the ball twenty-five yards to Ream, allowing him to fall across the line for the only touchdown of the game. The second game was at Gambier with Kenyon, when Lingrel again starred, tearing through the Kenyon line in the second quarter for twenty- five yards and a touchdown. This was the first time that Otterbein had de- feated Kenyon for twenty years. The following week the team met its first defeat at Athens, when they were defeated by Ohio University 13 to 0. Although the score indicates a decisive victory for Ohio, it is not the case, for the play was fast and hotly contested until the final whistle. Gilbert's brilliant returns from punts were a feature of the game. The Vffesleyan game at Dayton was played before one of the largest crowds that ever witnessed an Otterbein game. Due to a fumble on the part of VVesleyan's quarter-back, we succeded in making a safety and gaining a two point lead. In the fourth quarter the victory was made more certain when Lingrel made the only touchdown of the game. Special mention should be made of Red Miller's excellent defensive playing. Gilbert's capable manage- ment of the team, and Lingrel's terrific line-plunging. The St. Marys game was the first played on the home field and proved a walk-away for Otterbein. The final score was 55 to 10 in our favor. Due to excessive penalizing on the part of the referee, the team met defeat at Huntington, VV. Va., when Marshall won by a twelve to six score. At one point in the game Red Miller recovered a fumble and ran forty yards for a touchdown. The I-lome-coming game with Muskingum proved an easy victory. Excellent team work was a feature of the game, resulting in a score of 21 to 0. Marietta defeated Otterbein 12 to G. This was the first time Otterbein has scored upon Marietta for a number of years. Lingrel, Ream and Coun- seller were the stars for Otterbein. 4Continued on Page 1043 102 FOOTBALL TEAM II1d1V1dllal Recor S Player Home Position XVt. Hex ht Qt Pld Pts Sed Counseller QCJ Dunkirk, R.

Although Heidelberg was seven points in the lead, the team came out from behind and placed the ball across the line for two touchdowns in the last few minutes of play. - This game closed the football careers of five men who will graduate this june and whose loss will be felt greatly next year. But with the pros- pect of some excellent new material coming in to school next fall. another good team should be built around Captain-elect Ream and the remainder of this year's Varsity- , 1 10-K l a ff i Counseller Captain Bill Counseller, placed on the honor roll of many Ohio news- papers, proved to be a natural and capable leader. Besides playing an excellent game, he was a source of encouragement to his men. Lingrel Whenever Otterbein is spoken of the name of Elmo Lingrel is called to mind. This all-Ohio halfback was the backbone of the team. It was said by Coach lddings that Fat could have made any college team in the country. Everyone gives him the honor of be- ing the best half-back ever in Otter- bein. Miller Big Red Miller, the best end in years, was a terror to opposing teams, a sure tackler, and a fine blocker. Many times Red would break up a play before the opposing team could organize their attack. Higelmire Higelmire was the heaviest man on the team, whose specialty was in tear- ing through the opposing line and blocking punts. This giant hit his side of the line like a ton of bricks. Very few plays got through Hig. Mundhenk Mandy played a strong game at offensive end and defensive full dur- ing the season. We hope for big things from him next year. Gilbert The pilot position of the team was handled by another honor roll man, who by his never-give-up spirit and cool-headedness ran the team to per- fection. Returning punts was a pleasure for Gil, and his long run of thirty-five yards in the last game paved the way for victory. Mase Mase, for two years varsity guard, played a good game this year. Under Coach lddings he developed into an excellent guard and tackle. He will be a power on next year's team. Evans Another red-headed player who faced more men than any other man on the team was Bill', Evans. In one game three different guards played opposite him, but he was always the same invincible barrier. 105 .3 1 li 5 Q , 1 : 4 . i It 1-4 gl ll E! 1255 li Y--tg 1 NPR I 1 I 'A-. ni? v l l 1 I L,- , 5 .3 J ' r : I ,ff K 43 t - I i 2552 'eff'-Q-Ekgi l 1 i Ream Captain-elect Ream, the line-plung- ing full-back, who never knew what it was to stop going, was a fine tackler. and the best forward-pass catcher on the team. His line plunging in the Heidelberg game will long be remem- bered. Sholty Always smashing. blocking and tack- ling Sholty at guard played a fine game. At stopping the line-plunges of opposing backs and making holes this big fellow was a bear. Walters The center position was held down by a man always full of pep and en- couraging his team-mates. Lardy played a heady and dependable game at center throughout the season, never missing a minute of play. Huber A reserve man who always delivered the punch when called upon, played at quarter and end. Nluch is expected of him next year. Peden At right half Peden, gritty and fleet of foot, played a strong game through- out the season. Playing the difficult role of offensive half and defensive end he was always on the job. Meyers ' Meyers, a backfield man who had too much competition to land a regular place this year looks like a prospective varsity man. Barnhart Barney was one of the smallest men on the squad, but who possessed more fight and pep than any other player. He made a splendid reserve man for the backfield. Brown Brown, who did not get into any of the varsity games, showed a lot of football stuff and has a good chance to win a place on the team next year. 106 WWW fm Basketball E 19115-17 basketball season opened with fair prospects. lrVith three regular and several new men on hand the formation of the team did not appear so difficult. Unfortunately, the season opened with two of the hardest games of the year, and the unseasond team experienced severe defeat. Saturday, December 9th, saw the opening game of the season, when Otterbein met Ohio State. Our men seemed unable to get their bearings on the big fioor, but nevertheless the game was stoutly contested. The scoring ended 52 to 11 in favor of Ohio State. The next game was held at Delaware on December 16th with Ohio VVesleyan. During the first half much looseness of team work was displayed by both sides, but in the second half more consistent playing was in evidence. Although the Otterbein quintet was unable to out-score their opponents, they put up a strong opposition. Sechrist succeeded in getting several baskets, but the game ended 21 to 13 in favor of Ohio Wesleyan. At the end of the first half of the Heidelberg game at Tiffin, January 13th, the Tan and Cardinal players showed much improvement over their previous work, especially in basket-shooting. Captain Sechrist made six baskets, two of which were thrown from the center of the fioor. The final score was 30 to 27 with Heidelberg leading. The first home game was played january 20th with Cincinnati. At the outset the game promised to be a close one, as both teams were in good trim and showed unusual fighting spirit. The score was nearly tied most of the time, each side lighting desperately for the lead. Turner did fine work at guard, while Fox showed up well in field and foul shooting. The game ended 37 to 33 for Otterbein. Following closely upon the Cincinnati victory another laurel was won by defeating Capital by a score of to 23 on our home iioor. The score was tied at the end of the first half, but in the second period Captain Sechrist, with unfiinching determination, led his men to a decisive victory. On February 3rd Otterbein lost to Capital by a score of 32 to 27. During the first half the Otterbein men were unable to accustom themselves to the floor, while the Capital team showed much improvement over the pre- vious week. In the second half Otterbein came back strong, but was unable to overcome the lead of her opponents. On February 3rd Otterbein faced Kenyon at Gambier. A hard game was expected by both teams but neither was sure of victory. It took some time for our men to get under way, and not until the last half were they able to grapple successfully with their opponents. The game was lost 4-L to 30. Heidelberg came to NVesterville on February 10th with grim determina- tion to overpoint her scant record of january 13th. However. the Otterbein tive were resolute in resisting all such attempts and a fierce struggle resulted. The game was rough at times, but on the whole good sportsmanship was shown. At the close of the first half the score stood 16 to 11 for Heidel- berg. The second half was more one-sided, our team going down to defeat by a 42 to Q1 score. tContinued on Page 1101 108 J . M at c c. nw l 1 i 1 l I , J .5 iw' 'Y' r Sechrist:. As Captain of the 1916-17 basketball team Sechrist won the admiration of the entire team. For four years he has served Otterbein, and has won for himself an enviable record. He is especially noted for his basket-shooting. Sechrist will be greatly missed next year. Turner: Turner has been a valuable man on the Tan and Cardinal quintet. For two years he has proven himself a hard fighter and an excellent guard. The diploma takes Turner from us, much to our regret. Peden: Peden proved himself to be a remarkably good running-guard. He was fast on his feet and an excellent floor-worker. He will be a valuable man on next year's team. Miller: Redi' played a strong game at center. He entered every game with enthusiasm, savoring his play with the West Virginian lighting spirit. Brown: Brown, the captain-elect for next year, has disclosed real basketball ability. He was a scrappy guard and a reliable player. He should make an excellent leader for next year's team. Fox: Fox, the find of the year, has proven himself a reliable shot, having secured more baskets than any other man on the team. His prospects for next year are ex- cellent. Myers: Myers has been a valuable man on the squad for four years. He is a fair shot and a hard player, and has been a strong factor in the constructive work of the team. Miller: Another good basketball man was found in Paul Miller. He has the making of a good center and in all probability will be a strong candidate forvnext year's team. 109 1l'onti11uwl from Page lusr On February 17th Antioch played Otterbein at XVestervi1le. The entire game was fast and clean. 22 out of points scored by Fox showed that he was on the job, while Peden and Brown conducted themselves ex- tremely well. The good rooting was undoubtedly a strong factor in gaining a 552 to 22 victory. The Varsity made its last trip on NVashington's Birthday, meeting the XYooster team. The entire game was featured by fast playing with but few fouls. At the end of the first half XVooster was leading by a large margin. ln the second half lddings' men came back with their usual punch and shoved the score close to the winning point, but XVooster proved victors 28 to 21. The final contest of the season came March 3rd with Kenyon on our home floor. One of the fastest and hardest games of the season was wit- nessed. Roughness ran rampant and fouling high. Both teams showed good form, but due to Kenyon's defensive bulwark Otterbein was smothered in scoring, Kenyon got a double lead in the beginning, and maintained it throughout the game. The game ended 34 to 20 in favor of Kenyon. Immediately after the game Tom Brown was elected to lead the team during the 1917-18 season.

At an athletic rally the matter was laid before the students, who loyally responded by raising enough money to carry the team through the entire season. The first game was with Ohio Northern. The Varsity succeeded in shutting out their opponents 3 to O, securing eight hits to Ohio Northern's two. Ohio lVesleyan was the next team to be humbled by the Tan and Cardinal, being defeated 8 to T in a hotly contested ten inning game. ln the third home game the tables were turned, Capital leading after a loose and ragged game by a score of 12 to 7. The next four games were played away from home. ln the first game VVooster won li to 3. ln the next Capital again defeated Otter- bein, but this time by only a margin of one run, 4 to 3. In the last game Otterbein once again found her stride and defeated Ohio Northern for the second time Sl to 4. Closing a glorious season on the old athletic field Otterbein de- feated Dennison 3 to 2 in the thirteenth inning, when Lingrel circled the bases for a home run. A finishing touch was given to the season when Otterbein de- feated Ohio University the following week by a score of 5 to 3. Captain John Carver was unable to play after the First game be- cause of a badly sprained ankle. Mundhenk and l-laller were invincible at the battery positions. Booth at first, Ream at second, VVeber at third and Grabill at short-stop proved to be an excellent infield. Gilbert. Schnake and Lingrel in the outfield allowed very few balls to pass by them. XYood, Fletcher, Palmer and Cribbs were always ready to play ball when called upon. VVith all of last year's team intact with the exception of Schnake and Xlleber, who were lost by graduation, the present season has opened with great enthusiasm. An excellent schedule has been arranged, and under the leadership of Captain C. L. Booth the success of last year should be duplicated and even surpassed. ll!

The old men made better records than in former years, while the new ones carried away many first- places, and brought Otterbein's track team up to the highest standard. The point winners of the season were the men in the weights, as they took seven Firsts, five seconds, and one third, also coming very close to the college records. The dash men were not as successful, not because they did not run well, but they were placed against some of the best sprinters in the state. They took many second and third places, running in better time than ever before. The pole vault was always a sure first-place, while quite a number of points were made in the high and broad jumps. We were slightly handicapped in the hurdles because of the loss of several good men by graduation. The systematic training of the team was evident in the distance events. Much credit is due to Captain Thrush for the excellent showing which the team made. VVith all but four men back and the addition of quite a number of promising new men, an excellent season is assured under the leadership of Captain-elect Neally this spring. 116 The results of the Otterbein ....

A very difficult schedule of ten games had been ar- ranged for, including some of the best teams in the state: Otterbein won three games, lost four, and was unable to play the three remaining matches because of rain. The singles were played by Captain Hen', Bercaw and Stanley Ross, Russell Sanger and Doe Ressler completing the team in the doubles. Captain-elect Ress- ler will lead the team this spring, and although it will be diflicult to replace the three men lost by graduation, with plenty of good material in school a winning team should be developed. 120 TENNIS TEAM The games resulted in the following scores: Otterbein Otterbein Otterbein Otterbein Otterbein Otterbein Otterbein 6' ...... .......4 0 Ohio State Kenyon . 23. .,........ .

THE BRIDGE I stood on the bridge at seven As the bell was tolling the hour: And the moon rose high in the heaven Behind the college tower. Among the long black rafters The wavering shadows lay, And the hearts of the hidden couples Seemed lifted and borne away. I saw Annette and Neally As they went strolling past. I was most shocked, but really He was holding her quite fast. And far in the hazy distance Of that lovely night in June, The hair of Marie Siddall Gleamed redder than the ITIOOI1. And like those waters rushing Among the old stone piers, A Hood of thoughts came over me That filled my eyes with tears. How often, oh, how often In the days that had gone by, Had couples stood there at seven And gazed on the wave and sky! 124 C Q I 1 s K .i f lf Q 'II I O 5 f e .ll o 0 -,- X 1 iii? il Q only f ro Qeeosao X , . gg-,, NA ,A ggrgg W., 1- ' V .- J' is f e : K ll W'-5 iz:-.1 l -rf?-ij M' :L-' i HE Eiwm 'E .ms TsocnETvEs F11-rr. 1 eN,,em,,,,, How often, oh, how often, I had wished that the rolling stream VVould bear me away on its bosom To that fairest land of my dream. For there hearts were full of fancies, And there life was free from care, And there were no burdens upon me Which someone did not share. But that fancy has fallen from me, And is buried in the streamg And my heart laughs within me Wlien I think of that foolish dream. But whenever you cross the river, On its bridge with the old stone piers, You'll think of the happy moments You spent there in former years. For you were as guilty as any Of seeking the shadows, and hiding Beneath the long dark rafters From those who might be passing. 125 Now Yerda, don't try to evade it, You know your sins find you out! XYe'll all forgive you, that's certain, But of your guilt there's no doubt. There are others. too, to be sure, For go any night that you will, I'll promise you no disappointment, For at least you'll find Freda and Bill. If you promise I'll tell you a secret: Now don't regard it too light! I know you'll be shocked, but honest, I even saw Hulah one night. Along the banks of a river There are always flowers of some kind, But surprised was I, at twilight A Marguerite to find. A youth strolled out from the shadows XVith a maiden, shy and coy, Not astonished was I to discover That it was only Ruth and Roy.

The story is of a struggling college student, Grant Hayden, who is working upon a marble statue to compete in the state contest. After many discouragements he finishes it, but later finds his work completely destroyed. This crime was conceived of by his rival, Alfred Wfoolfe, a surly, drunken fellow, and carried out by an unsuspecting Indian maiden, XVatassa Faulkner. Wfatassa is about to confess when Robert Hayden interferes and takes the blame. This causes a rupture between the brothers. XVatassa, eager to make amends, poses for Grant in the native garb of her tribe, and enables him to complete another statue in time for the contest. The day of the great football game with Hinsdale' arrives. XVoolfe has left school, his treachery having been discovered, which leaves Siddell with- out a half-back. Grant Hayden is persuaded to go into the game. just before the close of the game, he tears down the held for a touchdown and wins the day for Siddell. On the following evening a ball is given celebrating the victory. It is announced during the evening that Grant has won the hand of Rena Maynard, and also that Bob and Wfatassa will soon leave for the west. The iinal curtain falls as Grant receives news that he has won the prize in the state contest. Grant Hayden was well played by Roscoe Mase. Neva Anderson showed real ability as Rena Maynard, the dainty little heroine. Much of the action centered around Ruth Fries as VVatassa, who was at her best in her scenes with the villain. Alfred XVoolfe fRobert Klinej and Robert Hayden fElmer Schutzj, who so nobly saved her from disgrace. Alice Hall as Mar- jorie Carson, Marie XVagoner and janet Gilbert as the Sylvester twins, Glen Ream as Coach Clark, Helen Ensor as Miss Parmalee and I. M. XVard as .Iunius Brooks were all excellent in the comedy roles. L. H. Higelmire, Dwight Mayne and UI. -I. Mundhenk played the minor parts well. MATRIMONIAL AGENCY Schear and Helen Omer and Lucille Martha and John Ethel and Karl Charlotte and Bo Annette and Neally Sechrist and Katheryn Elmer and Marian Siddall and Mary Ike XYard: Say, Bo, do you have a tooth-pick?

MONEY KING. 2 XSIIH 3 HRM 133 42 1 L THE MINSTRELS The Second Annual Hambone Minstrcls were given on january 17th in the College Chapel. The performance had been scheduled for the middle of December, but due to the installation of the new pipe-organ it was impos- sible to use the chapel at that time, Early in the school year the Athletic Board appointed Thurston H. Ross to take full charge of the big show, and he in turn chose H. G. Hlalters to act as Business Manager. Mr. Ross immediately assumed direction of the work, and chose the cast. The musical program was placed in the hands of R. R. Durrant. Emlo Lingrel was made lnterlocutor, while XV. M. Coun- seller. E. T. Clifton, J. B. Garver and A. XV. Neally were chosen as end-men. The circle work went off in line style, being continually under the fire of the end-men's fun, whose jokes were irresistable. Miss Edna Farley was at the piano. The olio was composed of three acts. Nevard and Bundy was an animated dialogue between S. XV. Xllood and P. Miller. James Henderson and G. 0. Ream put on a clever cartoon act. The most popular number was Durrant's Concert Band, which rendered an excellent program. A new Otterbein song was introduced by T. H. Ross, music by R. R. Durrant, which scored a big hit. College and town talk for many days after the minstrels testifies to the merit of what was undoubtedly the most popular theatrical production of the year.
