Seated in some desolate cavern, wrapped in sacred vapors that issued forth from bottomless crevices they looked far into the future and forsaw events to which mortal eyes were blind. These women with prophetic power were known as Sibyls. But ages have passed and with the swift rush of years times have changed. Ancient civilization has given way to Mediaeval, Mediaeval to Modern, and with each transition there has come more expansive education and knowledge. just so the Sibyline powers have waxed greater, more potent and omniscient. Once gifted only with prophecy, now Sibyls have the matchless power to record faultlessly and impartially events which build history. The Sibyl is now a recorder of the past and a guide for the future. And so in this Sibyl, which you hold in your hand, you will dis- cover not only hints of the future but also an accurate account of bygone events.

WAGONER Zin zmuriam Within the past year the Death Angel has invaded our ranks and severed the span of life for a beloved teacher and associate. We, as mortal men, can never hope to un- derstand the Ways of Providence, but can only be comforted in the knowledge that all is accomplished for ultimate good. PRESIDENT W. G, CLIPPINGER.

Time: One moonlight evening in June. Dramatis Personaei He-Tall youth: She-Pretty girl. She: Just think! this is about the last time that we'll stand on this old bridge and talk things over. He: Yes, but just think! we're going out to conquer the world. She: It looks as if the world would be easier conquered than if We had started in our verdant Fresh- man days. He: But wasn't it great to be a Freshman? Do you remember our push that year? She: Do I? I was too scared to move. We had it over in the HY because it rained. Bill Vance was our president then and he acted as toast-master. We had toasts and wieners and buns. He: I'll never forget our banquet that year-it seemed like the most elaborate social function ever pulled off. J. R. Howe was toast-master, I remember. She: And that was the time the Sophomores stole our coats and we had such a time getting them back. He: We were just ready to discipline those boys by a bath in the creek when a reverend member of our faculty came down and interceded for them. She: Wie were such conceited little affairs that year. Let's see, where did we have our Soph push? , He: Out at the fairgrounds. Don't you remember? Manson Nichols was class president then. She: Yes, until he left in the middle of the year, and then Bert Iaynes finished up the term. Wasn't Lloyd Harmon toast-master at the banquet that year? He: I believe so, and that was the time we changed our colors from Blue and VVhite to Rose and Gray. She: Well, there goes 'Walter Schutz. Didn't he make a good president last year? VVe went out this very road to Devil's Half-Acre to the Junior Push-I'll never forget that occasion. He: The Class of 'Zl will go down in history for establishing the every year Sibyl. She: I remember well, for that was the first, last and only time I encountered the faculty en masse. Two of us went and presented the petition to them, and our eloquent pleading must have succeeded. He: Phillippi and Schutz worked day and night to put that thing across. It was a good old Sibyl, too. She: And didn't we plot and plan behind those locked Sibyl doors to get the Seniors' goat when they wore their caps and gowns? VVe got it, too. Those chapel seats are still shaky where they were torn up that morning. He: Robina in Search of a Husband-that's the one play I'll never forget because it was my first theatrical success. She: And we surely 'had a great time that night we Went to Minerva Park for our Sibyl push. There was a great big, red moon that night. He: VVe marched around and each got back that dollar that we sank into the Sibyl proposition. She: Well here comes Lym Hert across the bridge. This is a regular succession of class presidents. He: VVe went to Minerva Park for our Senior push, didn't we? That just duplicated last spring's good time. She: Do you know, I believe that Otterbein has educated us to a certain extent. He: Yes, I know I feel a lot more humble and less bombastic than when I came. She: Tomorrow we graduate. Isn't it a grand and awful thought? Why it's five minutes till the bell rings. We must hurry to the dorm. Exit. -E. A. H. 121.- Page Twenty-four Q'1lFJf'1l'f Eliil'Kial lQHFliQl Q WZ! Q Sli BTL LYMAN HERT Canton, Ohio We do not count a xnan's years Until he has nothing else to count. Wfe have all found Lime a good fellow and a true friend. He has led a very active life during his numerous years in the institution and has served faithfully as president of the Senior Class, of Christian Endeavor and I. P. A., besides being a member of the Athletic Board and playing Varsity Football for three years. Keep it up, Lime , PHILOMATHEA ESTHER ANNE HARLEY Dayton, ohio Either I will find a wziy or I will make one. Esther has wonderful executive ability which she has used to good advantage during her student days in this institution. She is now president of the Cochran Hall Association and president and editor of the Quiz and Quill, a member of the Athletic Board, Girls' Glee Club and the Mandolin and Guitar Club. It will be no mean load she will relinquish at gradua- tion and we believe she will make her presence felt in the affairs of the outside world. CLEIORHETEA DALE MARTIN PHILLIPPI Dayton, Ohio Young in limbs, in judgment Old. You cannot always judge a man by the amount of noise he makes. Dale is a very quiet sort of a fellow and yet all appreciate his executive ability and his power to think anything through. Dale made an excellent football manager this last fall due in a large extent to his love for work. He has served on the Y Cabinet and has also gained some distinction as a public speaker. Dale easily took first prize among the Varsity O candidates this fall by his presentation or imita- tion of a chorus girl. Fair and earnest in all his dealings with his fellow students he has the good will of all and all wish him success. PHILOMATHEA MILDRED BERNICE DEITSCH Lima, Ohio She is pretty to walk with And witty to talk with And pleasant too, to think on. Mildred is a busy girl yet she finds spare minutes for all who desire them. Cleiorhetea has placed her on the board of supervision of the Tan and Cardinal and she also exerts her influence for greater Otterbein in the Public Speaking Council. Active in the Y. VV. C. A. Cabinet and the Girls' Leader Corps no one could make us believe Mildred dislikes work. CLEIORHETEA i i Page Twenty-live Q5 FiTEZlRi.l lEWmwii Q U ZPHX-Q Sl BTL Page Twenty-six DENNIS BRANE Dayton, Ohio Look, he's winding' up the watch of his wit, By and by it will strike. Denny has been with us but three years, thereby escaping a slow death on a Sibyl Staff. You may hear him speak in Philophronea or sing in the Glee Club. He can do both with credit to himself. A favorite with the fellows and girls, Denny shines at all social gatherings where he never allows the interest to wane. PHILOPHRONEA GLADYS YOKUM ' Elkins, W. Va. Eat, sleep, and be merry, for Tomorrow we may he dead. Gladys is in the Science Club, College Orchestra and the Church Choir. A favorite with all, she has had a busy time in Otterbein. CLEIORHETEA DANIEL SPENCER SHANK Arcanum, Ohio An'd learning and teaching Are both things worth while. Shank began his college career at Miami but after answer- ing his country's summons he decided Otterbein should have the honor of presenting him with a sheep-skin. He enjoys the distinction of being president of our illustrious Glee Club and during his two years in Otterbein he has used his many talents to good advantage and has favored O.

Born in the military environment of Fort Qtterbein, then requisitioned by the government and being used as a training camp for Uncle Sam's would-be officers. Under these circumstances the members of the class learned obedience to orders which is the first duty of a good soldier and a very praiseworthy trait in a student body. Even the girls were made to feel the prese-nce of the military. Many of the members of the class disappeared simultaneously with the mustering out of the post and the dismantling of the- fort. However, some remained, and to their number new members, returning from the service of their country, have joined the class, but it still remains small in numbers. Nevertheless, in spite of it's diminutive size, the class prides itself in the active part it has played in the life of Qtterbein. Always ready and willing to lend a helping hand. we the Class of '22 take pride in the rapid growth of our Alma Mater since the conclusion of the great world struggle-.

QTTEUL QUN e ll92ll e Sl BTL HISTORY OF THE CLASS 1924 XYith the arrival of autumn there was wafted to Otterbein, on the pleasant September breezes, hosts and swarms of Freshmen. ln their trunks and traveling bags they brought an enormous quantity of that ancient remedy for all diseases, the mighty pep which is so necessary for success in all things. The Juniors, according' to custom set the wheels of the- class machinery in motion by assisting in the election of officers. Thereafter the members as- sembled very frequently and debates waxed hot and furious. Soon there came the longed for and well heralded Scrap Day. On the morning of that day the Athletic Field was alive with people and the host was with the Freshie's. The relay race was an easy victory for the first year men and after a long and terrific struggle the tie-up ended in their defeat. ln the tug-of-war across Alumn Creek, before the eyes of several hundred down-lookersf' we took a refreshing plunge. Thereafter the inter-class events went much like the pen- dulum of a clock, from one side to the other in a rythmic way, Football to the Freshman, soccer to the 'F-ophsug the cross-country run to the Fresh and basketball to the sc-cond year men. Although the very life of the school depends on these titular frays and various activities caused by rivalry, both friendly and otherwise, these things are only affairs of the moment and a long list of them in numbered order would indeed be tire-some. Accordingly suhice it to say that even though we throw ourselves whole-heartedly into these contests and hope to continue to do so during our whole school career, we have now come to realize' that by converting this pep into bold yet wisely guided initiative we may in the end succeed in accomplishing first of all that feat termed good citizenship and from such a solid foundation strive earnestly toward the other and higher ob- jectives of life. -R.

There are three courses open to the Art student, Ge-neral, Normal and Applied Art, and all of these progress splendidly under the able supervision of the new director, Mrs. Dunn. .-Xside from the regular courses for full ti1ne Art students, part time work in any par- ticular subject is iavailable. The aim of the department is not so much to train professional artists as to cultivate an appreciation of the beautiful, a gift which will be useful not only to art students, but a valuable asset to anyone in any Walk of life. That the Art Department really takes an active part in Otterbein life is evidenced by the social functions given during the year by the Art students, and the many posters, which bedeck the campus advertising school affairs, are a constant reminder that the Art Depart- ment is at work , Page Fifty-eight QTTElii1. lE3fHN e WEE Q Sul BTL DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC Our Music Department has just had the greatest year in it's history. The increased enrollment made necessary the addition of an assistant instructor in voice this year, and at present we have about two hundred pupils in the department. The capacity of equipment in piano and organ has been reached and an increase in enrollment next year, which is more than probable, will demand more practicing facilities. Lambert Hall Auditorium, which was especially designed for recitals of the Music Department, is now entirely too small to care for the audiences, which not only speaks well for the work that is being done, but also im- presses upon the constituency the need of a larger hall. The new two-year course- of Public School Music inaugurated this year, has been a winner. It has been approved by the State Board of Education and any student completing the course will be granted a certificate to teach Public School Music without taking an examination. The Music Department has a wonderful future before it and the great popularity of the Men's Glee Club and other musical organizations of the- school, in their various concerts, given in surrounding cities, is an excellent indication of the good work being done in the School of Music.

This year, however, the standard has risen still higher. Not only in talent does this year's organization compare favorably with past seasons, but also in interest and ehfort the members show a marked increase. This latter fact is due, primarily. to the able directorship of Professor Dana Strothers. Three recitals, two at home and one at the Deshler Hotel, Columbus, constituted the public appear- ances of the orchestra. n I Tlfvy r'-: H we MANDOLIN-GUITAR CLUB Have you ever wandered past Lambert Hall on a Monday evening about seven-thirty? And have you heard the sweet strains of jazz as they came merrily forth from the windows? Wlell, that music had its origin in the Mandolin Club during its practice. XYe do not wonder at the volume of music when we know that there are seventeen members enrolled in the Club. Two guitars, two banjos and thirteen mandolins can produce a great quantity, and indeed, great quality of music Professor Spessard is the able director of the Mandolin Club and to his tireless effort is due much of the success of the organization.

Professor Arthur Spessard, building aroiind a nucleus left from last year, constructed an organization of songsters that has put Otterbein on the map of Ohio and Pennsylvania. Under the excellent management of Walter Schutz, the Glee Club warbled before more than thirty-five audiences, and during Easter vacation took a ten-day jaunt through Pennsylvania. Next year's Club, having the advantage of the reputation gained this season, should enjoy a still more successful series of programs. PERSONNEL First Tenor Second Tenor First Bass Roberts, W. N.

HOME ECONOMICS One of the most popular departments established in Otterbein during recent years is that of Home Economics. The growth and unqualified suc-cess of this department is a distinct tribute to the work of its director, Mrs. Nellie L. Noble. The present generation real- izes the need of trained home-makers and is availing itself as never before of the opportunities offered in a thorough study of Home Economics. A major in this department consists of two courses in both Cookery and Sewing, one course in each of the following: Textiles, Home Nursing, Diet- etics, House Management, Sanitation, Theory, Practice of Teaching Home Economics. The name of each course does not, by any means, define exactly the nature of the work included. For instance, the advanced Cookery course covers the making of menus, cooking and service of meals, table etiquette, etiquette of hospitality, arrangement and management of an ideal dining room and kit- chen, discussion of working equipment for each of these rooms. In Sewing, the practical work is accompanied by a study of dress problems, buying, hygiene of clothing and so forth. Graduation from this department entitles one to a Bachelor of Science Degree. i Page Sixty-six Page Sixty-eight -,N .f'w' . , at , , 'H-. i. PHILALETHEAN LITERARY SOCIETY. CODTTERa lQEN e WZ! ee Sl BTL Pl-IILALETI-IEA Philalethea is drawing near to the close of a singularly successful year. If numbers alone were taken into account we should say the- Society has never been so prosperous, the total number of new mem- bers for the year being forty-five. Since last year our active roll has more than doubled itself. But aside from numbers we can say that in every way Philalethea has gone forward with rapid strides. The programs have been of unusual merit, due in part to the splendid work done by those holding the oFFicial positions. Perhaps the one thing of which all Philaletheans are proudest is the paying of the final debt on our piano. It required a real effort to raise the needed funds, but once done our labors are amply rewarded. If the founder of Philalethea, Mrs. John Heywood, were to come back and pay us a sisterly visit, we feel certain she would Find the old Society spirit still living with a glowing splendor in each of the hearts of the Philalethean members today. Veritas Nostrum Clipeum -that has been the guiding standard of Philalethea and shall ever be the expression of our ideals and traditions.

For those who are not familiar with the history of the Philomathean Literary Society, we give the following facts. A division occurred in the Philomathean Society, the First lit- erary society of Otterbein, in 1857. One year .later a charter was granted to the one division which had taken the name of Qtterbein Philomathean Literary Society, Quaerere nostrum studium est was adopted as the motto under the new charter and Benjamin Hanby, author of My Darling Nelly Gray, was elected as the first president. During the intervening years Philomathea has sent from her hall hundreds of young men who have been better qualified to carry on their work in the world because of the train- ing she has given them. Two great wars have decimated her ranks for brief periods of time, but today she is experiencing unprecedented prosperity. The quiet dignity of her hall and her glorious traditions inspire in her members loftier resolutions and nobler ideals. The opportunity for training in literary work is unexcelled. Bartlebaugh, D. W.

But Philophroneals enthusiasm didn't wither as the initial boom died out in the dis- tance, for that is not the way Philophronea does things. This year's open and invited ses- sions have been unusually numerous, and though we know we are not perfect as hosts, the maximum of effort was expended in making every guest feel at home and enjoy our hospi- tality to the utmost. Of course we cannot enumerate all of Philophronea's good qualities and achievements, for we realize that other organizations might want at least a page or so of SIBYL space, but suffice- it to say that, judging from past accomplishments as a whole, Philophronea's friends Qand enemies, too, for that matterj can expect from our side of the hall results that will count in the future as they have in the past, for So long as suns shall shine on suns, Shall Philophronea live.

S-9 QDfJ5TlEatL tQzllFJ Q ll92tl Q Sl BTL THE PUBLIC SPEAKING COUNCIL There are at least two causes for the high standard of the forensic work in Otterbein. The first of these is to be found in the fact that the college maintains a large department of public speaking, which offers the student a wide range of subjects, including extemporaneous speaking, debate, oratory and dra- matic interpretation. This department under the efficient supervision of Professor C. A. Fritz, lays a foundation for all forms of forensic work. And of equal importance is the work of the four splendid literary societies, for in these societies the student puts into actual practice the theo1'y of the class room. And he does it before the most critical of audiences, his fellow students. Two members are elected from each of the four literary societies, and these eight represenatives, to- gether with the head of the Public Speaking Department, form the Public Speaking Council. This organiz- ation superintendents all the forensic work of the school, including such annual contests as the Declamation Contest, Oratorical Contest, Freshman-Sophomore Debate, and the intercollegiate debates. For the past year the members of the Public Speaking Council have been Edith Eby, President CCleiorhetealg Harold Halderman.

RUSSELL ORATORICAL CONTEST This is another annual event for which we are indebted to Dr. Howard Russell, the well known benefactor of Otterbein. Each year he gives an award of thirty dollars which is distributed in three prizes -315, 310, S5 respectively. Members of the two upper classes are eligible for participation. In previous years the speakers were limited to some phase of the Prohibition Movement, but in the last two years participants have been allowed a greater liberty in the choice of a subject. Otterbein has always justly boasted of her orators and she may still be proud of them, for the contest this year was in every way up to standard. The contestants appeared in the order indicated below: O. A. Jaynes- The Need of Leadership J. Gordon Howard- The Three Ships F. L. Roberts- The Sphinx of Industryl' A. P. Peden- Publicity for Democratizing of Industry L. B. Harmon- Our Unweleome Guests All the orations evinced careful preparation and deep thought. L. B. Harmon was selected First place, A. P. Peden was placed second and O. A. Jaynes won third. According to this arrangement, Mr. Harmon becomes Otter- bein's representative in the State Oratorical Contest held this year at Muskingum College in the latter part of February. Page Seventy-eight QTTEL QHN Q UQZH Q Sl YL DEBATING TEAMS AFFIRMATIVE DEBATE TEAM. On March 18 the affirmative team, consisting of XY. N, Roberts tcaptainj. R. M. John- son and E. E. Harris, traveled to Hiram College. The Otterbein men proposed a powerful affirmative case which evinced careful preparation and attention to detail. The decision, how- ever, was two to one against them. These men, in spite of their hard luck, are to be con gratulated as the single vote they brought hone made Otterbein winners of 'the Otterbein- Hiram-Muskingum triangle. It is likely that this team will have another debate, but linal arrangements have not yet been completed. l AFFIRMATIVE DEBATE TEAM. April 21 is the date set for these affirmative debaters to meet the Wfittenberg negative on the Otte-rbein floor. Captain Virgil XVillet is the only veteran debater of the trio and great things are expected of him. XYalter Schutz and F, L. Roberts are by no means inexperienced speakers, however, and can be counted upon to give account of themselves when the occasion demands. Page Seventy-nine QTTEN IEMUN e ll92ll Q Sl TL l NEGATIVE DEBATE TEAM. The first debate of the Otterbein-Hiram-Muskingum triangle was held in XYesterville, March 17, when the Otterbein negative met and conquered the Muskingum affirmative. The defenders of the Tan and Qlardinal were given a unanamous decision over the Muskingum- ites. This Victory, coupled with the one Vote gained by the Qtterbein atihrinative at Hiram put Otte-rbein at the head of the Triangle. This team has another debate with VVittenberg on April 21 when they meet the Lutherans at Springfield. SOPHOMORE DEBATE TEAM. THE FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE DEBATE This annual event has just recently been made possible through the generosity of Mr. James M. Cox. one of Otterbein's debaters of former days. A team of three speakers and one alternate is chosen by try-out from each of the two lower classes. The prize of twenty-tive dollars is distributed among the mem- bers of the winning team as they choose. The first annual debate on this foundation was held in the chapel Tuesday night, December 7. when A. XV. Elliott Ccaptainl, John Mayne, H. V. Miller and F. McIntyre talternatel, Sophomores, upheld the allirmative, against Marion Hite tcaptainl. Joy F Dillinger, D. M. Halleck and XV. VVolf Calternatel, Freshmen, who defended the negative. The question under discussion was, Resolved, that the Executive form of budget for federal expendi- tures is preferable to the legislative form. All those who heard these debaters were impressed with their preparation and knowledge of the question. Their arguments clashed in sneh a way that the interest of the audience was maintained till the end. Both sides showed commendable form in debating. and promise of good material for the Varsity debating squad some day.

FRENCH PLAYS The French Plays, an annual affair, are always anticipated with keen interest, not only by the school at large but even by the participants. Regular credit in French is granted to all those taking part in these productions. This year three' playlets were staged, a fairy tale, La Princess Emeraude, and two modern productions, Un Medecin Malgre Lui and L'Initiation. Professor and Mrs, A. P.

For years, the SIBYL has appeared only every two years, but the Class of ,2l, one year ago, recognizing the inadequacy of a biennial, took it upon themselves to set an excellent precedent by issuing an annual. In taking this brave step the Class of '21 deserves the heart- iest thanks that Qtterbein can offer, Every SIBYL is the result of much painstaking effort, and all this, and even more at times, has been duly experienced by this year's staff. However, if the book meets the ap- proval of the subscribers the staff will feel amply repaid. The purpose of the SIBYL is to give in a graphic way a record of the year's events. It does not pretend to be either a newspaper or a literary publication. These fields are ably cared for by other recognized school organs, but we do hope that some future day by means of these pictures, write-ups and other material, you can faithfully and accurately recall the events of the year '20-'2l. A Word of Thanks Wie wish to take this opportunity to thank all those kindly disposed individuals who, though not on the Staff or even members of the Junior Class, were unselfish enough to add materially to the success of this book by their valuable assistance. THE STAFF. Page Eighty-four TTEL EAHN 0119211 Q S11 Tia l T1-113 TAN AND CARDINAL A live college paper is now a reality in every progressive college, and Otterbein is no exception. The appearance of THE TAN AND CARDIN,-XL, a weekly publication which represents all phases of college activities. is always a weekly event. THE TAN AND CARDTNAL was estiblished in 1917 to take the place of the papers which up to that time had been issued by each of the two IHCHTS literary societies. Each year Otterbein grows and THE TAN AND CARDINAL grows with her. The staff for its faithful and consistent effort. deserves the school's warmest approbation.

In all probability its date marks a transition period in the life of the institution. The unusual growth of the college in material things and in numbers of students in recent years both demands and inspires a large forward movement. The meeting of the board of trustees February 22 and 23 was epochal The plans for a half dozen new buildings and large- ly incre-ased endowment are on the one hand forced upon the institution by the circumstances and on the other are the result of an inspired awakening among our people. The trustee meeting was the large-st in the history of the college. The members of the board grappled with big things rather than with trifles. Fundamental issues were involved rather than in- cidentals. At the rate of growth the college has enjoyed in the last two years it will take only five years to reach 1,000 students. This would require a doubling of the size of the present plant to say nothing of the expansion incident the growing standards and ideals of college life, New buildings, new grounds, new endowment and new methods of work all are suggest- ed by these new departures. Let there- be a solemn agreement now among trustees, faculty, students, alumni, and friends everywhere' that Qtterbein College stands for good citizenship and good church leadership. Her mission is to the individual, the church, the nation, and to the world of international relations. The spirit of service, of brotherhood, of Christian democracy and of high character of leadership must never be lost sight of in the- exciting maze of changing conditions. Let us not forget the rock whence we have been hewn. May we never lose sight of the- simple but eternal things of life. Let us beware lest we become intoxicated with a desire simply to be like others, and lose- sight of the essential purpose of our existence. If, drunk with sight of power, we loose Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe- Such boasting as the Gentiles use Or lesser breeds without the law- Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget-lest we forget! tSignedJ XV.

Page Eighty-six GTTEUL LQUN Q UQZH Q SUDYUQ QUIZ AND QUILL CLuB The Quiz and Quill is Otterbein's literary Club which was organized two years ago for the pur- pose of stimulating an interest in men of letters of all countries, creating an appreciation of the world's best literature and giving opportunity for the creation and criticism of original productions. Membership is restricted to twelve persons, including the two English professors, Dr. Sarah Sher- rick and Professor C. O. Altman. Admission is gained by a vote of the Club and is open only to juniors and Seniors who have completed eight hours of English work. QUIZ AND QUILL MAGAZINE Starting in a modest way the Club has broadened out and now publishes annually the Quizz and Quill Magazine, a strictly literary publication, containing the First prize oration ofthe Russell Oratorical Contest, the winning story of the Barnes Short Story Contest and other material ofa strictly literary nature. This year the Club offered prizes for the best original productions submitted by the Freshman English classes. PUBLICATION BOARD The Publication Board has as its duty the direction and management of the college paper, The Tan and Cardinal. This Board, consisting of two representatives from each literary society and one alumnus, elects the Tan and Cardinal Staff, transacts business relating to the paper and through the literary societies stands responsible for the financial stability of the paper. The members of the Publication Board for the past year were: Elizabeth McCabe, President, Mil- dred Deitsch, Vice-President and Treasurer: A. S. Nichols, Secretary, Velma Lawrence, Ruth Hopp. Miss Alma Guitner, Alumna, O. A. Jaynes. R. F, Peclen, R. U. Martin. Page liighty-seven QTTEKQ IQHN Q U ZPIB Q SH U4 YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. Y. M. C. A. CABINET. CQJT EK AEIEN e U92ll Q SHIDTTQ Young Menis Christian Association From the time that the lirst college Y. M. C. A. in the state- of Ohio was organized at Otterbein University in 1877, down to the present day, the Otter- bein Y. -M. C. A. has taken the leade-rship in Christian work among the men in this college. It was started as a weekly prayer meeting for the college men and continues to serve that purpose- at the present time, though many other aspects of Christian life are considered in the work of the Y. M. C. A. In reviewing the past year there are four or tive events that stand out quite prominently in the life of the Association. The lirst one was the secur- ing of a goodly number of delegates to attend the Lake Geneva Student Con- ference. Regardless of the personal sacrifice of the delegates there were seven students and one faculty member who 'found it possible to go to Lake Geneva. The effects of the inspiration of the Geneva Conference have been constantly felt in the Association throughout the whole year. As a result of this Con- ference it was decided that the cabinet members would plan to return to col- lege a day or two earlier in September in order to hold a Fall Retreaty' of the Y. M. C, A. It was at the 'AFall Retreat that most of the plans for the entire year were outlined. , One of t-he things that loomed large in the minds of the cabinet members was the plan for a series of evangelistic services to be conducted by the two Christian Associations of the college. Dr. J. Campbell NVhite, of NVhite's Bible School, New York City, was Finally secured as leader in this campaign. A deepened spiritual life and a fuller consecration was the result of the evan- gelistic meetings. The weekly devotional meetings of the Y. M. C. A. have been lead both by students and outside speakers. The meetings have been well attended, having an attendance of about 65 to 70 at each regular meeting and often run- ning above that on special occasions, Among the many other ambitions that the present ofhcers have for the Y. M. C. A. is the one that the Association shall stand for quality and not quantity. This ideal can best be attained by clinging closely to the Associa- tion Qbjectiveu as outlined by the International Committee of the Y. M. C. A.

Pgh y Qi1L'TEzlL lQllN elU92ll Q Sill lf5Yll.a Young Womenis Christian Association To unite the young women of Qtterbein in common loyalty to -lesus Christ is the avowed purpose of the Young NYomen's Christian Association. To this end weekly meetings are held regularly, at which the girls them- selves lead and carry on the discussion of subjects vital to every college girl. Then, too, weekly Bible and Mission Study classes are provided and these are always a source of interest and help. The junior Big Sister Movement has, for several years, been instigated by the Y. Wh C. A. Every summer the girls in school, 'acting as Big Sisters, write letters of welcome to prospective' Freshmen girls and help them, later, to become accustomed to college life when they arrive in the fall. Th social department, in co-operation with the Y. M. C. A., arranges several important social functions throughout the year. Eaglesmere, the Y. VV. C. A. summer camp in the mountains of eastern Pennsylvania, usually attracts several girls for a ten-day's summer conference. The Y. XV. C. A. is a many-sided organization and there is at least one phase of work that will interest every girl. This year marks the thirty-ninth anniversary of the Y. VV. C. A.'s exist- ence in Otterbein. This organization was the iirst of its kind in the state- and among the first organized in the United States. It has the distinction of placing the first Y. VV. C. A. State Secretary on the Held, Mrs. Frank Miller. Page Ninetysone OTTIQURLIEIQIIN Q EIQZIII Q SIIDYIILW INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLLIB There has long been a decided need for an organization for those students whose major interests lie largely with Political and related Social Sciences. Accordingly in 1919-1920 a semblance of a club was organized, but this year has seen the definite organization of an International Relations Club. Otterbein thus joins a long chain of colleges possessing one of these clubs. The aim of the Club is to make a broad study of the relations of our country with the remainder of the world. Under the excellent advice and co- operation of Doctor Snavely, the Club enjoys its bi-monthly meetings gathered 'round the faculty table, where many interesting discussions take place. Mr. F. L. Roberts is President and Mr. M. E. Stearns Secretary of the Club. THE SCIENCE CLUB The Ottcrbein Science Club is an organization whose purpose is two-fold: to increase the interest of the whole student body in the departments of science and to provide for regular meetings outside the class room, where students especially interested in science may meet to discuss current topics of scientific interest. Any student in the college may be an associate member but active membership is restricted to those who have completed at least one year of college work in science. Despite the rather limited number of members, enthusiastic interest is shown in the work of the club. At intervals throughout the year, the science professors give highly entertaining illustrated lectures upon the various subjects in their respective sciences. The active members also prepare and read papers on special topics. But the aim of the club is to eliminate mere literary work and encourage original investi- gations, the results of which are given at the meetings, and a demonstration performed if possible. The officers are: President, Fenton V. Stearnsg Vice-President, William O. Stauiferg Secretary, Jessie Wilson: Treasurer, Gladys Yokum. Page Ninety-two C0TTEfliE tlQfHlTmll QUQZZH Q Sll BTL STUDENT VOLUNTEER BAND Boasting of a larger membership than ever before. the Student Volunteer Band is completing one of the most successful years of its existence. W'ith the compelling motto, Evangelization of the VVorld in This Generation, the Student Volun- teers have moved forward with rapid strides. Members of this loyal body are united in one great purpose. that of serving Christ and ministering to the needy. That bond of union is strengthened by the spiritual communion realized through the prayer and meditation that characterizes every Volunteer meeting. The Band also conducts a thorough and com- prehensive study of Mission Fields, thus seeking to meet the need for dennite information concerning the world situation. Having been in existence for thirty-six years. this organization is one of the-oldest in this institution. More than fifty missionaries have gone from the Tower Room into the foreign held to fill places of grave responsibility and thus loyally serving their Master. If any man willeth to do His will, he shall know. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR There is little doubt that Section A Christian Endeavor Society of Otterbein College is the largest, most interesting and by far the peppiest organization of its kind in the state. In reviewing its success one is instantly reminded of the quiet, efficient leadership of the loyal and faithful president, Mr. L. B. Harmon. The Christian Endeavor Society is the only organization in the college which is open alike to both men and women students. The fact that more than half of the student body are enrolled as members is eloquent proof of its popularity. Any student, anytime, anyplace on the campus, is willing to testify to the helpful part Christian Endeavor has played in his or her college career. ' .This organization has always stood for the highest and best ideals in college life and will forever con- tinue in its enthusiastic work. It is a thing which fills a unique place in the spiritual life of every student. Page Ninety-three QTTEUK KEMUN Q WEE Q SU YL l GOSPEL TEAM The Gospel Team which serves as the Dt-putation Committee of the Young Men's Christian Asso- ciation, is composed of the college men who intend to enter the ministry. This group of men meets every Monday night in the Association Building and there conduct services of mutual interest and helpfulness. At intervals during the year teams of men have been sent to various points to conduct revivals or assist pastors in special services. During the past year, S. A. Wells has served as President of the organization. w 'ii' w..sv5s:assvsumwe-xwww i :S THE CANTERBURY PILGRIMS The Canterbury Pilgrims is an English Literature Club recently organized for the purpose of pro- moting interest in English literature, especially of the Chaucerian age. Membership in this new organization is restricted to those who are especially interested in English literature and who take the course in Chaucer. In regard to size it is limited to thirty-one members, the number of Pilgrims in the Canterbury Tales. V Regular meetings are held at whichtopics of interest in English literature are discussed. The lives and works of prominent English men of letters are studied, and much emphasis is placed upon the study of the famous English poets. ' In spite of the fact that this is the newest organization in Otterhein, there has been developed a very intense interest by the students of the English department who are eligible to membership. Dr. Sarah M. Sherrick, Professor of English Literature. is the faculty advisor for the organization. The officers are: Russell R. Ehrhart, Presidentg A. S. Nichols, Vice-Presidentg LaVaughn Leather- man, Secretary and Treasurerg Dr. Sarah M. Sherrick, Advisor. Page Ninety-four WEST VIRGINIA BOOSTERS The XVest Virginia students are organized into a group of earnest and enthusiastic Otterbeinites, commonly called the XVest Virginia Boosters. This little band from the mountain state, becoming so satur- ated and in love with the wholesome atmosphere which surrounds Otterbein. were anxious to see more peo- ple from XVest Virginia coming to Otterbein. Thus 'tPep meetings were planned and held throughout 'XVest Virginia during the Christmas vacation. In these meetings college life was discussed from every viewpoint turning the eyes of many of the High School students. teachers and parents toward Otterbein. Many results direct and indiect, were obtained from these meetings. One of the direct results which is worthy of special mention is the gift of the baby grand piano to Cochran Hall by the Tither's League of the Grafton United Brethren Church. Ofhcers of this organization are: President, E. D. Fordg Yice-President, E. R. Cole, Secretary and Treasurer, Lera VVaters. THE MEN BEHIND THE SCENES There is always with us at Otterbein a staff of workers who, though unheralded and unseen, perform daily tasks that make it possible for us to enjoy life about the campus. Janitors, Engineers, Firemen, each one, deserves a real tribute from the student body for work con- scientiously done. Did you ever take time to thank them for what they so cheerfully accomplish? Try it sometime, we are sure that they would appreciate it. Here's to the men behind the scenes. Page Ninety-five Page Nineiy-six LIFE WORK RECRUITS. This is a large band of ork Recruits.

COCHRAN HALL ASSOCIATION Cochran and Saum Halls are the homes of most Otterbein girls. ln these dormitories they live together as one large family, though of course some form of government is neces- sary to protect the rights and privileges of so many girls. By reason of their residence in one of these Halls, the girls are members ofthe Cochran Hall Association. Annually, in a democratic way, representative girls are elected to serve on the Cochran Hall Executive Board, which, with the advice of Dean McFadden. acts as the governing body of the association. The dormitories are the real center ofthe school and social life of Otterbein girls, and here, throughout the school-year, occur a never-ending round of parties and pushes. XYith Dean McFadden as the guiding spirit of Cochran Hall and Mrs. Flickinger of Saum Hall, these two buildings are considered the real homey spots in Otterbein, and therefrom eman- ates much of the social life of the college. Officers for the past year have been: President, Esther Harley: Vice-President, Eve- lyn Darling: Secretary, Faith Seyfried: Treasurer, Lilian Carlson: Senior Representative, Margaret Pifer: Junior, Pauline Stubbs: Sophomore, Lucile Ewry: Freshman, Katherine Pollack: Art, Mary Chamberlain: Music.

In attempting to write up alumnals we hnd ourselves confronted with the necessity of selection. There are so many notables among the alumni of Otterbein that space will not permit mention of all. And so this being the twentieth anniversary of the beginning of the Sibyl we naturally turned to the first copy to find something for our alumnals. NVe were rewarded by Ending a list of the All-Otterbein football selection up until that time. Being of the opinion that an athlete in school will hold his own out in the world we fol- lowed up the record of these men and found them all holding responsible positions of leadership, some of them carrying as high as three university degrees. NVe hope that by just mentioning some of these old foot- ball stars, it will bring to mind many pleasant memories to the alumni of our old school and give them an added interest in the athletic development we are trying to bring about. VVhat a time We would have if we could assemble the Otterbein family for a day. Of course that is impossible, but we are trying to approach this as nearly as possible on Home-coming Day which this year will be October 29th, when we play Kenyon on our home field. We want every friend and prospective friend of Otterbein to be here that day. What more is needed than to mention Kenyon Ito an old grad to bring him back to see our old rival beaten once more?

Caesar, as he was known to his fellow-students because of his ability to handle the mother tongue of his notable namesake, was captain of the team in the year '92, ,93, and quarter during the years '90, '91, '92, '93. He was small but mighty. He was a good tackler and handled the ball neatly and accurately. Caesar always ran the team with the best judgment and well deserves the honor of being captain of the All-Otterbein all-star team. He died on April 3, 1903, and Otterbein mourned his death as one of her most devoted friends. lfVe will go far to Find another Caesar, David Henry Seneff, A.B., '97. Baby Seneff holds down the center position on our mythical eleven. He played this position during the years of '93, '94, '95, '96, He had the reputation of being the best center in the state and never found a man that could upset him, Baby Seneff has also departed and it grieves us to lose such men as these. Bishop Alfred Taylor Howard, A.M., D.D., '94. Bishop Howard is an inspiration to all of us to live a more out-right Christian life. Since graduating he has been connected with missionary work and served as a missionary part of the time. He now holds the position of Missionary Bishop of the United Brethren Church. Wlhile in school he played left guard and was one of the best players Otterbein has ever turned out. He was good on breaking through the line, and downing the runner. He was always the first man downithe held and the first man to line up ready for play. If football helped to make Bishop Howard the up-right open-minded man that he is we would pray for many more football Bishops. Page One Hundred Two OTf'1FlElR4. lQzlN e ll92ll Q Sl BTL Tom Dempsey, '08, Tom Dempsey was one of the nerviest ends in a football uniform, He was playing college football when he was only sixteen years of age. He was noted for his ability to get down under punts. Tom is known to the stock raisers all over the country and we wish him continued success. Winfred Forrest Coover, A.M., '00. Buck Coover needs no introduction to Otterbein supporters. A better tackle could not be found in his day. He will long be remembered in the hearts of Otterbein friends as deserving much credit for the early success of Otterbein. After graduating from Otterbein, Buck entered Ohio State and was chosen to captain State's eleven. Now he is imparting the knowledge of chemistry to the people of Iowa State Col- lege at Ames, Iowa, but he still finds time to follow up athletics. Irvin Wilson Howard, A.M., M.D., '01, Shorty Howard was one of the strongest tackles in the state. The opposing team always lined up two men against this giant. He was six feet three inches and weighed over two hundred pounds. After leaving Otterbein he entered Ohio Medical School and played a strong tackle. He was elected captain of the team at O. M. H Shorty is pursuing the life of a physician in Batavia, Illinois, and we hope these greetings find him we . Erastus Guy Lloyd, A.B., Ll.B., '98. Ras Lloyd although chosen for an All-Otterbein end, spent most of his time while in Otterbein at fullback and sub-quarter. No one could break an interference better or go down the field under punts faster. Since leaving school he has made good as a law student and at present is a member of the Ohio Sen- ate. We wish him continued success. William Crooks Teter, Ph.B., D.D.S., A.M., '96, When looking around for half-backs Bill Teter stood out as one of the strongest that could be selected. He was good on circling the ends, he was a good punter and was known as the best straight- armer in Otterbein. Bill was a scrappy player and always enjoyed any kind of an encounter. He is fol- lowing the dentist profession in Cleveland, Ohio. Clarence Birch Stoner, A.B., '96, Pebble Stoner with his brother were known as the twin-half-backs. He was a clever dodger, a sure tackler and a very good line bucker. A better half-b ick could not be found. He was likened unto Willie Heston of Michigan. Stoner is with the Hotel Statler Company and we assure him of our best wishes. William Robert Rhoades, A.B., '96. I Billie Rhoades, our right guard although playing most of the time at tackle where he excelled, was a giant in size and strength and was a very consistent player. The last word we had from him he was at Williamsport, Pa. Lawrence Llewellyn Barnard, A.M., '94, Larry Barnard was the best punter and the hardest line bucker Otterbein ever had. Often times he would gain several yards after being downed. He was captain of the team for '90, '92, and was fullback for the years '90, '91, '92, '93, Larry is an architect in the big city of New York and we certainly wish him a happy life. E. S. Barnard, '95, better known as The Reverend, has done more for athletics in Otterbein than any other man ever connected with the University. He was practically the founder and perpetuator of athletics while in school. He was not much of a player himself, but he knew how to advise plays and to develop players. He was captain of the scrub football team for four seasons, and in this way furnished very valuable aid to the varsity by always having a strong team to line up against them, by organizing new plays, and by preparing green players for the varsity. While in school he umpired all the games, both football and baseball. He knew both games thor- oughly, gave his decisions honestly and emphatically, and had the nerve and grit to stand by his decisions under all kinds of conditions. Since his graduation he has been closely connected with athletics. In the fall of '95 he coached the team representing his Alma Mater, and succeeded in developing one of the strongest teams that ever rep- resented the Tan and Cardinal. During the fall of '96 and '97, he coached the Barracks team of Columbus with wonderful success, making one of the strongest teams in the state out of one of the weakest. In the fall of '98 he coached the team representing the Ohio Medical University. Next four years he was Sport- ing Editor of the Columbus Evening Dispatch and was considered as the best authority on athletic matters in this part of the country. Reverend has always been ready and willing to do all in his power for the betterment and furtherance of athletics in Otterbein. He is always asked for advice where important matters are to be considered, and the prominence which Otterbein has gained in the athletic world has been largely Page One Hundred Three QTTELRQ TIQHN e ll922ll 0 Sf llla due to the advice he has given and to the schemes he planned and executed. He stands in the same rela- tion to athletics in Otterbein as does Walter Camp to Yale, Robert Wrenn to Harvard, Moffat to Prince- ton, and Dashiel to Lehigh. NVith such men as these back of Otterbein who can foretell the future of our school. We take this opportunity of sending our greeting to the Alumni and We want them to know we are interested in their success and wish them all the luck in the world. HATS OFF TO O. C.'S GRIDIRON PIONEERS Bishop A. T. Howard How like a flock of spring lambs we looked in our clean, new canvas suits on that autumn day in 1890, the day Otterbein met Kenyon in her first game of Inter-collegiate foot- ball, Notwithstanding that first unfavorable score, Otterbein made that day as time has since proved, a most successful kick-off in the great game that was to last down through the 'ears. 3 There were men on the lighting team in those earlier years who did not always get into the team photographs. First of all among Otterbein's fighting, brainy men, was E. S. Barnard, always known as Rev, I presume he never played in a single match game, but the brains and time he gave to thinking through that first team's problems was the greatest single factor in the earliest successes. Line Artx, our first coach, who coached us after the hrst season was over and when there was snow on the ground, also for the help he gave, should be regarded as a most help- ful member of the team later measurably successful. lt seems disloyal to omit any names on the squad from '90 to '93, but space only per- mits the mention of the chief figures. We bigger fellows always had an almost affectionate regard for our little quarter. Caesar QW. A.J Cwarst. He knew the game, was quick witted and plucky. It can not be proved of course, but I shall believe- to end of the chapter, he was a first choice for an all-state team in his day. Another dependable man in any position was Jack CDr. L. Aj Thompson. Both Caesar and Hack served sentences as captains. Two of our greatest ground gainers in the back Held wer eth eStoner brothers QC. B. and Frankj. Wle can feel sure Birch QC. E-.J is now attacking the Stattler accounting problems with the same vigor as he headed into his opponents' lines in the early nineties. Fe-w O. C, teams of recent years ever took a worse drubbing or lost more money in the bargain, than our team one very rainy day when Otterbein played De Pauw in Dayton. Otterbein had given a generous guarantee. The debt incurred that day was never fully paid until after the '94 men at least were out of college. Still it was that day, as the writer recalls, we sang for the first time: A We're the jolly football boys VVho hail from Otterbein ln our dirty canvas suits, et cetera. The day of days to remember, was the Thanksgiving Day game- in Cleveland in 1893 when Otterbein tied Western Reserve 6 to 6 in what each claimed to be, under hte circum- stances, a State Championship contest. VVhile Otterbein didn't win, we still were on the way home and have been ever since- The jolly football boys Who hail from Otterbeinf' Page One Hundred Four Ietic oLrrouftc. ioiN Q iiaaii Q am mo OTTERBEIN ATHLETIC BOARD.

Mr. Ditmer is an alumnus of Otterbein, having graduated in the class of 1910, a time when Otter- bein took a back seat to few schools in Ohio. i His college athletic record is an enviable one-two years as cnd and one year as full-back of all-state caliber and a top-notcher in track, doing the dashes in record time and being a member of the mile relay team which holds the record. Being an alumnus he has the wel- fare of the school at heart to a greater degree than any coach can possibly have who is not an alumnus. Page One Hundred Six ' 0 TTEM QUN 412922116 S11 DTM Mr. Ditmer is very well Fitted for his work because of the large amount of training he has had. He took an athletic course for coaches, both at the University of Illinois and at Ohio State. In the summer of 1915 he took an extended course in physical education at Chautauqua, New York. In football he studied under the following eminent coaches: Mr. Zuppke, University of Illinois, Mr. Al Sharp of Cornell, and Mr. Brummage, University of Kentucky. Basketball he studied under Mr. Jones, University of Illinois, and Mr. Brummage, University of Kentuckyg track under Mr. Castleman, Ohio State, and Mr. Gill, University of Illinois, baseball under Mr. Lundgren, University of Michigan. and Mr. George Huff, University of Illinois. He also took work in football, basketball ani baseball under Mr. St. john, Athletic Director of Ohio State. Mr. Ditmer has shown marked ability in developing winning teams. He instills his teams with fight and pep, and at the same time drills into them the rudiments of the game in such a systematic and thorough- going way that winning teams result. At Piqua tOhioJ High School, where he First started coaching in 1913, winning teams were developed to such an extent that during the years 1915, 1916 and 1917 his football team lost but three game out of twenty-eight while his basketball teams lost but six games out of forty, Dayton Steele High nosing them out in the final for the State Championship at Delaware in 1918. During the year previous to coming to Otterbein Mr. Ditmer coached at Springfield where he earned an enviable reputation as a coach. With these facts as an indication of what Coach Ditmcr can do we can prophesy that Otterbein will be heard from in the next few years. 1 f J VARSITYL O ASSOCIATION FACULTY-Altman, C. O.g Ditmer, M.

Previous to this time, however, the batteries had started an early work-out in the gym. Among the candidates were eight letter men from the year before. There seemed to be a dearth of material for some positions, while others were hotly contested. Elra Miller applied for first base, Mignery for second, Martin for short, George and Dew for third. M. L. Howe, Senelif and Peden aspired to the back-stop position. Killinger, Grabill, Pace, Ruebush, Lerfel, XVells, Albright and Fox were applicants for an outfield berth. The hurlers were Perry, XVilbourg. Corsen, Cribbs, Scheidler, Ulrey and Ranck. The weeding out process left Ulrey and Perry on the mound, Howe and Senetf behind the bat. Mil- ler on first, Mignery on second, Martin at short, George on third, Grabill, Pace, Albright and Fox in the Held. Games with Denison and Ohio University were cancelled at the opening of the season because of rainy weather. Otterbein-Wesleyan The season opened at Delaware on Thursday, April 29. XYeslc-yan took the game with a -1-0 score. The second inning was a big one for the Methodists, while Otterbein missed a good opportunity to score in the seventh. Otterbein-Kenyon Kenyon came here for the second game, Friday, May 7. Otterbein possessed. the final punch this time, tieing the score in the hfth and winning in the ninth by a score ot 3-2. The winning hit was driven out by George, scoring Seneff. Otterbein-Capital ' Capital took Otterbein across in the third game at Columbus on May 15. The score stood ll-Z. Ot- terbein started out with a dash, scoring in the first frame, but the Tan and Cardinal boys blew up early in the affair, literally giving Capital a walk away. Capital scored on Otterbein's errors. Otterbein-Ohio May the 22nd saw the game go to Ohio University on the home diamond by a score of 7-3. The game was loosely played by both aggregations. King of Ohio kept the Otterbein batsmen baffled for seven innings by his wonderful steam . Ulrey was touched rather freely and had poor support, Otterbein-Kenyon I 'Otterbein's luck changed in the fifth encounter when on June 4, Kenyon bit the dust for the second time in the season. It took eleven thrilling innings to gain the upper hand but eventually Otterbein came out on the top of a 5-4 victory. Otterbein-Akron Mutes On the following day at Akron the powerful Goodyear Mutes fell before the Varsity's onslaughts and a' 5-3 game in fayor of O. C. was the result. Ulrey pitched a superabrand of ball in these two games, allowing only four hits in eighteen innings. Otterbein-Capital .On June 12, Otterbein made it three consecutive victories and four for the entire season by defeating Capital on the home diamond, 3-Z., thus revenging the defeat sustained earlier in the season. This game Was well played from start to finish and Ulrey was the outstanding performer allowing only five hits. Summary . Grabill and Fox are lost by graduationg Perry, a Freshman, will be ineligible under Conference rul- ing, Miller has not returned to school this year, otherwise the team will be intact and Coach Ditmer will have a seasoned nucleus around which to build a winning nine.

'JF f VARSITY TENNIS Tennis was the most successful of all inter-collegiate sports during' the period covered by this review. Gut of eight matches, in which the best tennis teams of the state were met, Otterbein came through with six victories. Ohio State was the only team met which out- classed the local racket wielders. Otterbein is indeed fortunate in being represented by such artists of the court game as Bancroft and Martin. OTTERBEIN-CAPITAL Otterbein was defeated by Capital at Columbus on April 23 in the initial match of the season. Martin easily took care of his opponent, Captain Tressell, but Bancroft was defeated by Fabing after a hard tilt, Bancroft being obliged to play on the slippery end of the court which greatly handicapped him. This poor sportsmanship displayed on the part of Capital cost the match for Otterbein. OTTERBEIN-OHIO STATE Ohio State copped the second match of the season on their courts on April 27. Bancroft and Martin won their doubles 6-l, 7-9, while Mullin and Hollinger lost 6-3. 6-3. All the singles were lost in straight sets except Martins first which he won S-6. OTTERBEIN-KENYON . The tennis victories started with the third match at Kenyon. Martin won his singles 3-6, 6-2, 6-2, gvlgile grancroft lost 6-4, 6-4. The Kilgore brothers were taken across in the doubles to the tune of O-6. --, 6- . OTTERBEIN-WESLEYAN The first match with Wfesleyan was held at Delaware on May 4. Bancroft lost to VVee 6-4, 6-4, while Martin took Muth, Wesleyan's best man, S-6, 6-3. Wesleyaii won the first doubles 7-5 and Otterbein the second 6-1. The match was not iinished on account of rain. The return match was held here on May 10. Otterbein took this match and thereby annexed victories for both matches. Page One Hundred Thirteen QTTEUL EQHN Q 11 21 Q SU YHQ OTTERBEIN-MUSKINGUM The first tilt with the Muskingumites was in Westerville, May 14. Otterbein made a clean sweep of it, not losing a single set. Bancroft took his 6-1, 7-5. and Martin 6-2, 6-3. The doubles were taken 8-6, 6-2. The second match, on Muskingunfs courts was taken in a similar fashion. Martin 7-5, 6-3 and Bancroft took his 6-1, 3-6, 6-3. Otterbein grabbed the doubles by a score 10-8, 6-3. i OTTERBEIN-DENISON Denison was the victim of Otterbein's sixth consecutive victory at Granville, May 29. The season was finished by winning in straight sets as follows: Martin over McConnaughy 6-2, 6-2. Bancroft over Quay 7-5. 6-1. Doubles 6-4, 6-O. VVith this superb record as a indication of what Martin and Bancroft can do, we can prophesy that the 1921 season will find them supreme among Ohio colleges. TENNIS TEAM-1920. R. U. MARTIN. T. V.

TRACK The track season of 1920 was not very extensive, Otterbein having but four meets scheduled and the beginning of the season and then having to cancel the meet with Kenyon on account of inclement weather. On Friday, April 30, our team met Heidelberg at Tiffin. A wet track handicapped the men to a great extent and kept down the records. Heidelberg Finally took the long end of a 75-51 score. Otterbein per- formed commendably considering the fact that the men had not had a single practice. Peden placed first in the pole vault and shot put: Fox reached the best mark in the high jumps, while Miller came in first in both high and low hurdles. The second meet, staged at Granville on May 8, found Denison victor with a 71-36 score. The Bap- tists scored point after point because of Otterbein's inability to furnish entries for numerous events. At this meet Peden broke his own record for the pole vault, clearing the bar at eleven feet one inch. Otterbein finished the track season in a highly satisfactory fashion on May 29 when they swamped St. Mary's by an overwhelming score. This meet was won in easy style, Otterbein taking eleven first and eight seconds out of thirteen events. The hnal score was S1-41. The track team was handicapped throughout the season by not having a suitable track upon which to train. D This sport requires gruelling and intensive preparation and the team deserves an abundance of credit considering that there was almost an entire lack of training. Peden was the outstanding performer and yielded first place to few men in his events. Several new men showed ability and with the material at hand a successful series of meets should feature 1921.

Page Une Hun'dred Eighteen FRESHMAN FOOTBALL SQUAD OTTEK TIQUN 4119211 Q Sl lla When Coach Ditmer issued his initial call for football candidates on the opening day of school, Sep- tember 15, he found himself face to face with a situation which was unique in the athletic history of Otter- bein, namely, the ineligibility of Preps and Freshman for the Varsity. The coach and the squad, however, were undaunted by this obstacle and the process of hardening started without delay. Twenty-six men eligible for the Varsity reported for practice the first afternoon. Nine of these, Peden, Howard, M. L. Howe, Martin, Albright, Troop, Hert, Ranck and Barnhart were letter men from previous seasons, while Troutman, Schreck, Collier, J. R. Howe, Seneff, Stearns, Roberts, George, Miller, Roose, Heitz, Newell, NVhite, Crabbs, Hancock, Pace and Lehman, some new men and subs frotn the previ- ous year, composed the remainder of the squad. Sprout, Franklin and Schutz later added themselves to the number. Coach Ditmer soon showed evidence of belief in the doctrine of hard work, and the squad spent many long, gruelling hours on the gridiron, the tackling dummy, the charging machine and going through the regular routine of football practice. If the number of games won is to be considered as a standard of success, the football season was far from being a decided success. Seven Conference games were played, none of which were won by Otterbein. Some consolation, however, may be gained from the fact that all the teams which defeated Otterbein were top-notch aggrega- tions, in fact our eleven played a stiffer schedule than some of the best teams in the state. There is another angle. however, from which to view the football season of 1920, a point of view vast- ly more satisfactory. Because of the handicap under which we labored due to this being our first year in the Ohio Athletic Conference, we could hardly be expected to have a top-notch eleven. However, a foun- dation could be laid upon which to build for future years, and this was accomplished in a successful manner. The men were thoroughly coached in the rudiments of the game and instilled with pep and enthusiasm, until a team was developed which, by the end of the season, possessed tight equal to any gridiron organization of past years. So let us not feel discouraged at our past season's football history, but rather feel that well- made was the necessary sacrifice of laying our foundation for future successful years in the Ohio Conference. OTTERBEIN-OHIO WESLEYAN. The football season opened at Ohio Wlesleyan on September 35, the game being played beneath a blistering sun in mi'd- summer heat. Peden was severely injured in the first minute of play, but stayed in the game almost the entire first half. Otter- bein, outweighed almost thirty pounds to the man, made a creditable- showing against the veteran VVesleyanites. Ohio Wes- leyan 33, Otterbein 0. OTTERBEIN-MUSKINGUM. The second game found the Tan and Cardinal gridders facing Muskingum on Otterbein Field. Otterbein, though weak on the offensive showed commendable aggressiveness, holding their superior a'dversary for downs twice within the ten yard line. Peden's brilliant work on the defensive and the 45 yard drop kick by Pollack of Muskingum were the features of the game, Muskingum 24, Otterbein 0. OTTERBEIN-DENISON. The team traveled to Granville for the third game on Saturday, October 9. Otterbein put up a stiff battle against the Baptists and Coach Ditmer's men began to show the results of thorough, careful coaching and forced Denison, reputed as one of the best forward passing machines in the state to abandon that type of game and resort to end runs. Denison completed but two passes out of numerous attempts. Otterbein was outweighed ten poun'ds. Denison 21, Otterbein 0. OTTERBEIN-OHIO NORTHERN. The fourth game saw Otterbein stacked against OhioNorthe-rn at Ada, October 16. Otterbein scored in the first quarter when Martin drop-kicked perfectly from the 30 yard line. Ohio Northern 26, Otterbein 3. OTTERBEIN-WILMINGTON. Vililmington was entertained on the home field in the fifth game of the season. This was Otterbein's day from start to finish. The results of gruelling training and patient coaching were evident throughout the encounter. P'eden's and Albright's runs and Martin's passes were the features of the game. W'ilrr..ington's only score was the result of an intercepted forward pass. Otterbein's score of 20 points for the first half was doubled during the second. Final score, Otterbein 60, XVilmington 7. OTTERBEIN-OHIO. Ohio University and Otterbein clashed in the season's sixth game at Neil Park, Columbus, on Saturday, October 30. Otterbein displayed great development since previous games and with the victory of the week before acting as a stimulus the Vilesterville chaps started the game with a do or die spirit. The heavy Ohio team was outplayed by Otterbein's lighter eleven 'during the first half. the period ending with the score 13-14, Otterbein on the long end. During the second half, however, the O. C. warriors were literally worn out by Ohio's heavy line and were also handicapped by lack of substitutes to replace the numerous injured men. Peden and Albright starred for Otterbein, Lehman and Albright were carried from the field with in- juries that kept them out the remainder of the season. Ohio 53, Otterbein 14. OTTERBEIN-HEIDELBERG. The Heidelberg game which featured the 1920 Home-coming, was played November 6. The game started with a zip an'd Otterbein gave blow for blow but as the game wore on we were unable to stand the rapid pace set by the heavy Heidelberg line. Peden, playing a wonderful game, made substantial gains and backed u his own light linesmen like a veritable stone wall. Otterbein's only score was through a safety which netted .2 points. Tfiough this game was witnessed by the usual large crowds of alumni and friends and the players put forth every effort to cop the bacon the superior weight of the up-state team OTTERBEIN-WITTENBERG. On S:ttur'day, November 13, Otterbein traveled to Springfield to meet the far-famed Lutherans, who were undoubtedly the peers of the Ohio Conference gridiron season of 1920. In this game, though defeated, Otterbein established an enviable reputa- tion for football fight unequalled by any other of NVittenberg's opponents. The benefits of Coach Ditmer's untiring efforts were at last fully realized and it is little short of marvelous that so effective a machine could be built with so few seasoned Players- AS ii WHS. Otfeflkin held the Championship outfit to a score of 7-0 for the first half. To do this, however, Otterbein had given her best and during the second half VVittenberg was able to roll up a large score. Peden played the stellar role for Otterbein. and-George was also a consistent ground gainer. The work of the line stood out prominently as a feature of the OTTERBEIN-WOOSTER. The VVooster game was cancelle'd by mutual agreement because of the heavy snow fall. A WORD OF THE FUTURE. The 1920 team will furnish an excellent framework upon which to build. Only two- letter men are being lost by graduation, and with a wealth of material coming in from the Freshman class both for the backheld and line, Coach Ditmer will have far greater opportunity to mould a winning team. NVe will attempt no prophecies except to say that Otterbein will refuse in the immediate future to take a back seat in Ohio Conference standings. prevailed. Heidelberg 21, Otterbein 2. game.

Otterbein started the basketball season of 1921 under the same adverse conditions as the football season was started. The team was weakened by the loss of Charles L. Fox by graduation, and Torrence Cutler through ineligibility under conference rules. Coach Ditmer started in with his characteristic vigor to mould into a team the rem- nants from last year. The candidates were Captain Albright, L. L. VVhite, Priest, Ranck, Schreck, Collie-r, Roland, XN'hite, Schutz, George, Thomas, Bradrick, Skinney Lehman, Barnhart and Funk. ' During the greater part of the season the players were shifted from one position to an- other in an effort to find the best combination. Every man was given an adequate opportun- ity to prove his worth. The fight that the team possessed at the end of the season, and the improvement in the work of the individual players is sufficient testimony to the correctness of the coach's methods, Otterbein opened the season at Vtfittenberg on January eleventh. Although the Varsity was decisively defeated by a score of thirty-three to twelve, they displayed a fine brand of light against the seasoned XVi'ttenberg team. On January 14th the Varsity travelled to Heidelberg where they met defeat by a thirty-'two to seventeen score. The following nigh-t at Ohio Northern the team failed to work together and a score of forty-two to sixteen was piled up against them. Page flue Hundred Twenty-six QTTEMIL IEMUN Q H923 Q Sl BTL Otterbein played Denison on January 12th at Denison. The team lacked the ability to get together against the smooth-working Denison quintet, the score being thirty-three for Denison to eighteen for Otterbein. Schutz, in his lirst Varsity game, made thirteen out of the eighteen points. On the following night on the home floor Antioch sprung a surprise. administering a thirty-three to twenty-one defeat upon Otterbein. Antioch had practically the same team as last year and were eager to secure revenge for the defeat they suffered here the previous sea- son. Otterbe-in lacked team work and could not locate the basket. Ohio University was the next contender, playing Otterbein on the local floor january 29th. The game was slow and rough. Ohio showed some of the stuff that made her con- ference champs, The score was forty-seven to thirteen. Otterbein lost to Capital at Columbus on Friday, Feb. -ith, at Columbus, by a score of thirty-eight to fifteen. Otterbein missed many shots, but struck a combination in the second half which outplayed their opponents. On February 13th the Varsity played the fast Mt. Union aggregation at Alliance. los- ing by a score of fifty-two to seventeen. Albright did good work for Otterbein. They played the Exlines, an independent team, at Canton, the following night and came through with the short end of a thirty-seven to thirty-one score. The game was close' and well played. Otterbein met Ohio U on their home floor on Feb. l9th. The Varsity started in strong, scoring six points before Ohio found the basket. but was unable to keep the pace. The game ended forty-six to nineteen for Ohio, Otterbein lost to Cincinnati U on their floor on Feb. 22nd by a single point, the score being twenty-nine to thirty. Otterbein played a scrapping game but was unable to get a lead over Cincinnati. Albright and XYhite did very creditable work in this game. On Felb. 26th Otterbein won the only game of the season by defeating the fast Ohio Northren team by a score of twenty-three to twenty-two. In this game the- team was at its best, and the results of their coaching was evident. Every member of the team did phenom- enal work, and had the required amount of light, and it was probably this latter element that brought the bacon home. Capital took Otterbein over for the second time during the season on March 5th, by de-- feating the Varsity on the home floor. The team-work and iight of the previous week was somewhat lacking in this game. The final score was thirty-five to seventeen. The final game of the season was played at VVesleyau on March 12th. Otterbein put up 'a scrappy game and had XYesleyan ten to two at the end of the first ten minutes, throw- ing a real scare into the camp of the enemy, VVe'sleyan came back strong, however, and the game ended thirty-one to forty-nine for VVesleyan. Albright and XYhite starred for Otterbein. Otterbein came through the season with one victory but this is no indication of the suc- cess of the season. The season was highly successful in that a spirit of tight was developed, and a good foundation laid for next season's team. Page One Hundred Twenty-seven Q C5?TER.i fE?4zUlEU Q UQZEX Q SE TIL?

Page One Hundred Twenty-nine elirtrwemm ein 60 211 Q si ts INTER-CLASS ATHLETICS Inter-class aithleitics have come to hold a very important place in college life at Otterbein. Indica- tions are that their popularity in all branches of sport will continually' increase. They serve the valuable, two-fold purpose of bringing to light Varsity material and also of giving a larger number of students an opportunity to participate in athletics. The 1920-Z1 season has been entirely successful from this standpoint. - - BASEBALL The Inter-class, baseball series of 1920 was exceedingly interesting. Class rivalry was keen with the result that the games 'were hard fought. The series opened on May 1 when the Seniors snowed the Jun- iors under with a 17-0 score, while the Sophs came out winners in a well-played game with the Freshman, the score being 5-3. Two weeks later the Preps were eliminated by the Sophs to the tune of 20-1. This left the championship game to be played between the Sophs and Seniors and they clashed during the last week of school. The Sophomores came through with colors flying and brought home the bacon with some to spare, 17-6. TRACK A well-contested inter-class track meet was staged on May 24 and 25. This was one of the most interesting athletic contests of the year and was witnessed by a large part of the student body as it was the only track meet held at home during the season. The Class of '22 easily copped the honors in this contest, the final score being as follows: '22-66Z1 '23-39: '20-223 '21-152. Peden of the Sophs was high scorer with 35 pointsg George of the same class came next with 12, while Oppelt, a Senior, gained 10 points. TENNIS The Inter-class tennis championship went to the Seniors. The Sophs took the first match from the Freshmen in easy style, although Bancroft and Martin were ineligible for inter-class contests. The second match also went to the Sophs, the Preps being the victims. In the last match of the season the Seniors forged ahead by taking one series of singles and the doubles. SCRAP DAY The annual Scrap Day Contests were held on Wednesday, Oct. 6. The Freshmen started out strong, taking the relay race by a safe margin. When it came to the tie-up, however, Freshmen stock took a slump for the second year men were victors in that event after a battle lasting twelve minutes. With the score a tie. the warriors repaired to Alum Creek in the afternoon to test their merit as to strength in tug-of- war. The rope had been stretched across the creek and the sight of the cold water reminded the Sophs so forcibly of the previous year when they had had a bath, that they were able to hold their ground and in about four minutes had the yearlings splashing about in the chilly waters of Alum Creek. Thus did the Sophs win Scrap Day. SOCCER . The second contest of 1921 was the Soph-Frosh Soccer game. This game, played on November 15, was intensely interesting, the final result being in constant doubt till the close of the game. The Sophs finally won the affair by a 2-1 score. FOOTBALL On Tuesday, November 23, the Sophomores and Freshmen met on the gridiron in a tilt marked for its keen class spirit. The field was muddy but the football ability demonstrated was of a high order. The Sophomores had to depend on their heavy linesmen, but the tieet-footed backs of the Fresh more than evened matters. The yearlings took the game by a 14-0 score, Anderson making both touchdowns: the first score came as a result of a pass from Staats and the second after a 40-yard run around left end. The game was almost up to inter-collegiate standard throughout. BASKETBALL The basketball series started on Monday, November 29. On that date the Sophomores defeated the Freshmen by a 23-16 score. The Frosh were in the lead at the end of the hrst half, 11-S, but were unable to stand the gaff in the second period. The Seniors took the Juniors across with a 13-7 score, the latter. though having several Varsity men, seemed unable to locate the basket. In the second series of games the Sophs won from the Triangles, 27-3, while the Fresh nosed out the juniors, 15-11. The out standing feature of all these games was their rough football tactics predominating throughout. ' The Sophomores completed their string of victories and took the championship by defeating the Sen- iors by a decisive score. The second year aggregation displayed real basketball ability and were deserving of considerable credit for their performance.

By actual experiment, 12 train callers, 1 good boiler factory in working order, 6 steam whistles came a long way from drowning out the strenuous efforts of the club. Under the able direction of A. XY. Elliott, the club has increase-d in volume and deceased in quality till the Victrola corporation have refused to make any more records of the club's performance till a patent muffler has been perfected. The concert tours have- been successful, in fact, recently at the rousing program given at Blendon Corners, the audience stayed through the third number and at the end of the program three men were still in the auditorium. These men were me'mibers of the police force and were waiting for an opportune moment to begin opera- tions. Comc on, everybody, give the Glee Club boys a hand, but be sure that the hand is doubled up before using.

Ah! for days only rustic rumination pervad- ed the hapless halls of the dormant Dorm. Girls went about in sack cloth and ashes, paus- ing before each plate glass door to shed their temporary tears. No smile filled the hssipor- ous faces of those amorous Cochranites. Some outsiders declared that the measles had been matricidal, others that the water was mossy. However that may be, we repeat, the measly maidens wore no stentorain smiles. Why? It's not for us to reason why! Quoth the Raven, Never more. But now, laughter leaped from floor to Hoori giggles gushed from alcove windows and all was mirthy mirth. Then after a delicious dive into a dresser drawer and a grim gaze up and down the hazardous hallway, a gregarious underclass- man tore unceremoniously toward the catelec- tic goal. fy lf But alas! Her speed was retroverted. She uttered a sophomorieal snigger but soon found herself in the clawed clutches of a stimulated Senior. By the gods! A fight! A ferocious, foment- ous fight! Hair flew. blood streamed, teeth gnashed, bones cracked! The Senior's dis- putable dignity was wafted up in a distilled draught. Her false ear puffs fell to the floor in everlasting disgrace, and her ruinous rouge smeared from ear to ear: she bit herself with her own false teeth and found that her cork arm had come unscrewed! Poor disseminated damsel! W'hat was she to do! XVhile she paused to powder this preposter- ous point. her sly little sister slipped stridu- lously around her and found refuge behind the desirable door. A demoniacal scream. a scrambled shriek, a hypochondrical gurgle- And then-a ministerial peace broken only by the soft patter of many hercnlean feet. Thud! Splash! A contented chuckle!

Some women when they marry are in de- pendence. But many others we know of are too much independence. By the time some girls get over dreaming for what they would like to have in the species of man they are too far gone to even command the interest of a would-be. In this day of equal rights we wonder if our young lady equals wil lever come to the point when they will refuse a treat at Wfillies or pay their own car fare to Columbus.

A MASCULINE IDEA OF COCHRAN HALL LIFE Monday, Sept. 65th.-Awakenecl at 6:00 with a rotten headache and insulted my room- mate with some shocking slang. Tried to put my hair up in a hurry but it looked so punk I cried. Got down to breakfast I0 minutes late and was further irritated by a lot of lying gossip that had no foundation. Had no ap- petite because of the outrageous push we had the night before. Can't understand why these girls so abuse their poor stomachs for amuse- ment. No more for me, XVent to seven o'clock class without my lesson and Flunked. To make it worse my own dear john made a wonderful recitation, I suppose without study- ing. Boys are more original anyway. Felt a little better at Chapel and flirted outrageously with Harold. It did some good as John's jeal- ousy drove him to ask me for a date. Maybe I won't tease him! Luckily I didn't get called on in French or English. Another meal I didn't enjoy. IVent to laboratory to bury my- self in work and with Bill's aid I managed to get one experiment done. At dinner I ate a little so I'd have a little pep at least to bluff a boresome date out. Managed to make Henry spend a dollar or so on me,-but no more dates with that stick for me. Studied one hour and cut up two before I rolled in at twelve- thirty. Had an argument with my roommate and fell asleep from sheer weariness.

R, R, E lf we would only think of the good possibil- ities in every person, instead of being blinded by a few defects which are your particular obsessions, we would make more friends and begin to realize the meaning of co-operation. To find fault is easy. but to be faultless is impossible.-Guess the moral. ' The reason why we don't pull together more is that we-are always ready to talk Without the' least sign of backing our intentions with action. ' A good idea is good regardless of the char- acter of its source. Ideals are always good. but the little things that bring them about are better. Neyer begin to build air castles until the material is on hand. - Most bluff is no good. but to pretend to be happy when you'rc not, is commendable. In our social experience we find that it is not self-assertion that makes for independence so much a refusal to express one's opinions. Frank G.
