President. — V To one whose untiring efforts in the past have brought our ALMA MATER to an honored seat among the colleges of the land, and under whose management the future success of this institution is abundantly assured.— to Lowell Mason McAfee, Second President of Park College, this, the second volume of The NARVA, Is Cordially Dedicated. INAUGURATION DAA. President McAfee has borne his official title just two years. Ah tho we know that since 1890 he has performed all the duties of that office, it was not until May 12. 1904, that he was formally inducted into the Presidency of the College. The inauguration ceremony came on Thursday morning. Dur¬ ing the previous days of the week events had been leading up to this as the climax of all. We can not here attempt to describe in de¬ tail the impressiveness of the exercises as we listened to the words of commendation and approval spoken by representatives from the Faculty, the Student Body, the Board of Trustees and others. Dr. A. L. Wolfe spoke for the Faculty, and we quote the following from his address: “No fear for the future can cast the shade of anxiety over the joy of this inauguration. We insiall today one who has already for fourteen years guided the course of our bark, whose hand is used to the tiller, whose chart, carries all the soundings whose eye is neither dazzled by the calm nor daunted by the tempest.” “President-elect Doctor McAfee, I am honored invoicing to you the congratulations of your colleagues of the Faculty of Park College, of the men who, under your leadership, have made the college what it is. The Facultv were a unit in desiring that you be called to the presidency—they have given active and hearty co-operation to all your efforts for the advancement of the college in years past; and they pledge you their unfailing loyalty and their best service for the future.” “I congratulate you upon the affection and earnestness of the great body of students, past and present, who are proud to claim you as their chief. ” Mr. George E. Newell, of the class of ’04, represented the Un¬ der graduate body. His short address, in which he assured the Presi¬ dent of the loyal support of the students, was greeted by applause from his fellow students, which showed that they heartily seconded what he had said. The Commemoration Od was contributed by the Alumni, being composed by Rev. Chas. H. Derr, ’01, and read by Mr. Angus J. McMillan, ’03. It is found in full upon another page of this issue. The Board of Trustees had appointed Hon. George A. Lawrence to officiate in the final inauguration ceremony, and with their author¬ ity he inducted the President-elect into office. His brief address be¬ spoke the confidence which the Board felt in the man of their choice, to whom they committed the College Charter an d the master key. In his response the President accepted the charge not only as a mark o; honor to himself but as a grave and important duty. No decided chamre had taken place. The President went back to his desk the next morning, and took up the duties which the past decade and more had made familiar. And vet the event just past marked an epoch in the history of the college. It not only set the seal of approval to the faithful work of the past, but by entrusting the future management of this institution to so competent a man, marked out a glorious path in which Park College will loyally follow for many years, we hope, the leadership of our beloved President, Lowell M. McAfee. The Inauguration of Lowell M. McAfee LL. D., as The Second President of Park College. The Observance of The Twenty-Ninth Anniversary of the Founding of Park College.

Riddle Clarence J Primm Leigh Roy Rettig KMTORIAL Five years have passed since the publication, by the class of ’01, of the first volume of the Narva —five years in which no Narva has been published. And yet P ark has not ceased her activities along other lines. In fact, these five years have witnessed the growth and progress of our institution, as perhaps no other period of its history. The ’01 Narva was an experiment that proved emi¬ nently successful, and we have wondered that each succeeding class has not tried it. Looking, then, at the success which the pioneers attained and re¬ lying upon the support of Park’s sons and daughters, past and pres¬ ent, the class of ’06 have published this, the second volume of the Narva. We enlist the same hearty sympathy that was accorded the first publishers of Park’s Year Book, and our hope is that this book may prove as interesting as its forerunner and may come as near as possible to your ideas of what a College Year Book ought to be. We can not expect to please all, but it is our desire that by all means we may please some. It is altogether fitting that we here sincerely thank the ’01 Ed¬ itors for so plainly blazing the trail. Where they had often to make their own way thru difficult places we have found the road open. Profiting thus so greatly by their experience in all departments, we doubt not that our task has been much easier than that which was undertaken by them. We have not followed the plan of the ’01 Narva, tho we have worked with the same purpose in view. We have sought to reproduce college life at Park in all its phases as far as practicable, and to present to our friends and fellow students a book which will always keep fresh in their minds the memory of Dear Old College Days. As we have scanned the pages of many college year books and tried to catch the secret of this work, we would gladly have made our book the combination of all perfections. We know you do not expect this, and only in the hope that you will deal kindly with our efforts, have we found the courage to impose these pages upon you. Our task has been of different proportions from that of the first Narva Editors. They had to cover a period of twenty-six years, while we have only five years. Still our task has been large com¬ pared with most annual editors, for they cover but one year. The history and evolution of a college in the main should be entire in its college book. It has been our intention, therefore, to go back to 1901, and gathering up the ends of the yarn where the editors of the first Narva dropped them, bring you down by successive steps to 1906. Our work has been greatly changed. It was not that we could not find material with which to make up a certain number of pages, but it has been a never ceasing decision between the lesser of two r --- | evils, or rather, the greater of two goods. You will at once see that we could not put in everything that has happened since 1901. We ; could not give special mention to each of Park’s children during that time. If you are not mentioned, consider yourself lucky in the es- S cape; and if you are mentioned, try to believe that our intentions ‘ were good, however dismally we may have failed. Of course we ; have given by far the greater space to 1906, simply because we wished to be up to date. I Respecting those who are of our own class and who have been our daily companions for several years, we have taken a much great¬ er liberty, and by due process of law have delegated to ourselves, as an unquestionable privilege, the right to say anything we please, at any time we please, and about whomsoever we please; and to use any one’s name, or picture, or any personal property of any sort, in any connection that it has seemed best to us. From this there has been no appeal. We have sought to tame the cruel tongue of the satirist, to catch the melodies of the nightingales, to confine the ethe¬ real spirit of the poet and to bind down the fire-shod words of the numerous sons of Demosthenes. If you have said anything cute, bright or funny, this year, look on page-and you will find that for once your voice was heard. If you have shed a tear or heaved a sigh be comforted by those who this year will find indelibly imprint¬ ed on their sheepskins the marks of each honest effort. If you have had a thought, forget it, as you should. Still it is in this book, and will’never leave you. If you fail to find here what you expected, it is too late to cry now. You should have spoken sooner. We wish here to express our appreciation of the timely help we have received, especially in our drawings and sketches, from Miss Ruth Thomson, ’09, and Mr. Albert W. Orr, ’08. Their drawings bear their marks (R. T.) (A. W. 0.). With these few scattering remarks, the book leaves our hands, and thus we bid it adieu: “Go, little booklet, go Until everywhere that you have went, They’re glad that you have came. ’ ’ —James Witcomb Riley. LOOKING NORTHEAST MACKAYr BUILDING The Main Lecture and Recitation Hall What Was Not for the First Narva and Is for the Second. There is the Heating and Lighting plant: that is the latest and biggest; some are disposed to think it the best. One of the old fogies heard afar of the innovation and wrote that he feared for the temper of student life at Park College, now that there is no incentive to chop up an armload of green wood on the flat by the old well, struggle with it up the hill to Copley and, out of one corner of his eye, watch the sap fry on the end of the stick, while he occupies the other three corners in an encounter with trigonometry baked on one side and frozen on the other. The good fellow cannot under¬ stand how much more wholesome is the modern trigonometry done through and through by steam. Depend upon Professor Mattoon, anyway, to see that trigonometry is warm material. In contributing to activity of mind, health of body, and sane and wholesome religion able to rise above stove-pipe connections and smoky furnaces, the heating plant leaves nothing to be desired. And the light puts the Standard Oil company well nigh oat of commission. If it were not for the night-watch’s lantern Mr. Rockefeller might take his pro¬ posed vacation in Europe with his mind free from care. Now that your attention is fixed upon houses and such like, there is the Labor Hall, which makes it a deeper joy every day to serve God and one’s fellowmen. Everybody has heard what the house is for, but nobody knows who has not seen it and used it. It is to dignify labor and keep the laborer clean and : earty. The inst ; - tution is in large part bath appliance. There are showers and tubs, and a swimming pool, for which latter the severer weather has proved too much, but it is a great boon through all the warmer sea¬ son, and will eventually be provided with warm water the year round. The gymnasium in the building will sometime be equipped for the use of the office men and anybody else. Offices and tool and repair shops provided in the building are important new facilities of the work department. There is the President’s residence, nearing completion as this is written. The President and his family will probably be securely housed in it by the time this is in the hands of its readers. It is certainly time they were out of their present quarters, where they have suffered many things of many winters. This is the most im¬ posing and most commodious residence in this center of culture and art, and it occupies the most commanding site in the town. It is constructed throughout of native limestone and hard wood. The carpenters have done only superior cabinet work on the interior. The ample entrance, with the tall round columns of limestone, gives an impression at once of homelikeness and solidity. All the modern conveniences have been introduced into the equipment. The Alumni Building was the talk of the first Narva; it is now long since an accomplished fact. It is handsome, and right where it belongs. The Alumni have come back home and slept in it now and then; crowds of them have come together and eaten and lounged in it; the faculty and the classes and the literary societies and the clubs and the musical organizations and missionary societies have pow-wowed and fed and fiddled and mapped out campaigns in it. Orators have cracked the plastering overhead and around the sides; the rhetorical drill-masters live in it the most of the day; hundreds of good letters from Alumni all over the world have found their way to it. Everybody has used it a thousand times and been thankful for the chance. Some of the grading has been done for a new dormitory, and before this book is out there may have been many a hard lick struck on the site of the new Library Building. Mr. Carnegie’s fif¬ teen thousand go into the structure at once, and others will follow in later years until the equipment is ample for the greater Park Col¬ lege which is to be after not long. Then there are walks, bless their substantial dryness! There are a lot of them, granitoid for the ages, and the foundations laid for miles more. The shaping of the contour of the campus goes forward steadily. Contour in the present case is good. The campus at most points is like the land in this region, valued doubly by the farmer since he can farm both sides of it. The campus stands out each year more distinctly against the sky line. Most notable in the development of the soil has been the ad¬ vance in horticultural lines. There has been large addition to the acreage of orchard. If the promise of the present season is fulfilled there will be enough fruit of all sorts to fatten Pharaoh’s lean cat¬ tle for seven years to come, and allow eating peaches out of the hand all season through into the reckoning. There are a hundred acres of young apple trees not yet ready for serious business , 1 but with a plenty of years ahead for them to grow. The end of the world is not expected at once with all the multiplying millenial signs. When it comes to statement of funds the word of today may be to retract tomorrow. The endowment ;und is growing all the time, slowly it often seems to those most strenuously devoted to its enlargement, but growing steadily all the same. There are about three hundred and fifty thousand dollars invested now and if they are not doubled before long it will not be because hard work is lacking. Inside doors everywhere the reformation, revolution, reconstruc¬ tion, rejuvenation, wrought by the heating plant has already been referred to. Business always proceeds regardless of the weal her. More women singe off their eyelashes in the laboratories, and more men burn holes in their vest fronts than ever before, because eye¬ lashes and vests and corrosive acids are more plentiful than ever. The next Narva published will tell of the erection of a building for the Science Department fully equipped with the best now a-going in that line. Professor Findlay’s year of furlough in study and travel filled his head fuller of trilobites than ever and Professor Dean is soon to be off for his year. Dr. Wolfe brought back from his study and travel abroao all sorts of new tricks for making the Freshmen wonder whether it was a cyclone or a page of Livy which struck them, while art enthusiasm now being cultivated, needs only a water color thrust into the field of vision to tilt every other head on the campus to one side. Professor Mattoon, after pumping clean dry two departments of learning in Cambridge University, returned to spill liquefied star dust about the place until it trickles through the cracks in the sidewalk, and, as Cy Creighton would put it, two whole classes in college are out rubbering for total solar eclipses three nights out of the week. Dr. Burt brought back with him great chunks of enthusiasm straight from the factories where history is made. Since that year in the German beer-gardens he walks down the street more unmistakably than ever, like a coming event, cast¬ ing his shadow before. There is no telling what will come of Pro¬ fessor Magers’ present year among the Greeks at Harvard and elsewhere. No one will be surprised to see his Beau Brummel nose masked as puggy as Socrates’ and his Adam’s apple rounded off to furnish a collar button for his tunic. It is understood that the twins already address each other as Castor and Pollux. Everybody is learning everything better and more of it. Music is booming, — which does not imply that base drum artists alone are being produced. If any student does not know how to read music now, it is because he has spent the study hour forgetting. The Glee Club sings better and looks handsomer than ever. The Band gave a splendid concert this year. The Orchestra of this year is the largest which has ever been seriously attempted, and has contributed good music . Four or five instructors are pushing along the musical inter¬ ests and others are giving substantial boosts. Oratory is flopping its wings and soaring. Barnes, ’04, won first place in the state. Newell, ’04, won first in the state and lost rst in the inter-state by the wink of one judge’s eyelash. Murphy, ’05, won second in the state. Zion, ’06, has won first in the state and by the time this is printed will be grooming for the inter-state. And Debates,—bless your heart! you should hear these later generations debate! Those were thought to be glorious days when the first Narva found its t e- ing, but more questions of statecraft and high finance have by this time been settled than Bible or Patterson ever dreamed of. And they are all at it. Inter-collegiate material fills the cup and spills over the brim. In the event of an inter-collegiate debate, by way of doing the opponents scant justice, the choice of a team is made by lining up all the men of the student body and delegating a cross¬ eyed young lady of the Sophomore Class to throw stones at them with her left hand. There is more science and art at every turn. And more artful¬ ness? Well now, that is a different matter, perhaps. Carlyle main¬ tains that there is strict democracy among artists of all periods. Artfulness does not admit of comparisons. Greater dexterity in these latter days? It was only remarked that there are better tools. A more sturdy bending to the race and a more sinewy knotting of the muscles? A smoother course to follow, that is all any one was saying. A truer devotion to God and fellowmen? The only hope is that some of the cobwebs may through the years be swept away to afford a clearer vision of God, and that the zeal of human fellow¬ ship shall be tempered by a fuller knowledge. No, no! Park Col¬ lege will never run clean away from its past. It scorns to run any new year in the old ruts, but it lives each year to bring its past to fruition. The sons are proud to reap where the fathers have sowed, and to sow again in their turn. J. E. McAfee. ’89. Heating and Mackay Lighting I lant Snyder “ Howard l:. I To A fee A. B. Paris. ’80.

The Metamorphosis of the Class of 1906. “Ornne vivum ex ovo” was the decree of scientists centuries ago. And the class of 1906, cognizant of established laws, and im¬ bued with the prevailing spirit of the age, would divide its own “life history” into periods the basis for which lies in that very dictum of previous thot. Advisedly, then, does it call this first year of its his¬ tory, characterized as it is by rudimentary development and incip- iency, the EGG STAGE. It was a heterogeneous collection which presented itself to the various departments of the institution in the fall of 1902. All could be placed un¬ der one Order, yet there were numer¬ ous genera and a still greater variety of species. These species were of all sizes, shapes and colors; there was the large McAfee or Stiles type, and the diminutive Bernheim; the semi-spherical Frye and the elongated Phillips; the pale hued Youngman and the very dark Mitchell; while anon appeared a variegated or speckled one. And perhaps it was the variety of characteristics indicated by the divers appearances which enabled the collection in the aggregate to evade, escape, or overcome, as the case might be, sundry injuries which certain ones intent upon investigation or ex¬ periment were wont to perpetrate. These injuries were administered in different ways; now bv invading armies of the Hannibal or Has- drubal type; now by the insidious appearing, tho in reality, compar¬ atively mild, “sythe bearing chariots” of the “well greaved grubs”. At one time the collection was cast into a veritable heap of “logs”; and tho unable to effect an escape for several months, yet none came off the worse for the experiment, despite the fact that it was attended by all manner of “sweeps and slides, bends and falls.” Many of these fellows were exceedingly precocious. Indeed scarcely ere the close of the winter season of 1903, and long before the allotted time for the casting off of shells, did the Myers, War- nick, Zion species break forth, and with premature loquacity, prove to the contending Order of Sophomores in public debates the erro- ousness of ever having added a “fifteenth appendage” to the consti¬ tution. Incited and enervated by this triumph, others of a less lo¬ quacious tho equally invincible type, made bold to sally forth and meet again this same Sophomoric Order in a contest of a scriptum nature. And so dazzling was the charm of the “chivalry” dis¬ played by one as to captivate all ten judges concerned, and to result in an almost utter extinction of the contending Order. As the close of the season drew near, even the most dilatory was found ready to emerge from his shell. And altho the Biblical department was unable to impute to the collection any degree of “proverbial” wisdom, there was, nevertheless, development suffi¬ cient to justify the omission of intervening stages, and to enter di¬ rectly upon the imago stage, had the collection not recognized the fact that the more complete the metamorphosis, the greater the dif¬ ferentiation. Realizing this, without more ado, it passed into the second stage of development, known as the LARVA STAGE. Concerning this period of metamorphosis, little of apparent mo¬ ment can be recorded. It was similar in its history to the larva stage among all creatures where complete metamorphosis is found. There was less of colonial and associate work, and more time given to individual development. In appearance the specimens were light green in color, and exceedingly wise looking, while each was endowed with large mandibles as well as a large mouth, head, and body, designed for the masticating and storing of large quantities of food, both physical and intellectual. And voraciously did the collec¬ tion devour whatever came into its path, even swallow¬ ing great gulps of H2 S04 or HN03, to say nothing of H20. During this period there was more of wandering about over hills and in woods than previously. Two attempts had been made to go out in a body during the egg stage,—one in the fall of 1902; the other in the spring of 1903. But both had been thwarted: the first by inclement weather; the second by inherent discordant tendencies. Evidently, however, there was too much giving way to natural char¬ acteristics on the part of the collection. For after but one journey those under whose supervision they moved, apparently fearful lest disastrous results be entailed, forbaie indulgence upon further for¬ aging or picnicking tours, socalled, which injunction holds for all be¬ low the imago stage even to this day. As the spring of 1904 neared its close, and the time for moulting approached, certain ones of keener instinct detected something pe- culiar in atmospheric conditions. Now torrid —now almost frigid, breezes were felt in various quarters. Upon investigation it was found that this strangely unnatural, unpleasant atmosphere was due to a certain great glacier which was fast approaching, and wnich arrived upon the campus about tne time of the spring election of Stylus staff. Hence again did it seem necessary to forego entrance upon the im¬ ago stage, despite sufficient development and to insure against any injury occasioned by glacial conditions by entering upon what, for want of a more suitable term, might be called the PUPA STAGE. In the third stage of the development � f these peculiar speci¬ mens several remarkable phenomena are to be noted. In the first place they do not exist in a strict pupa state as is common to most of their order. While it is true they are rather quiet and inactive they do not weave a web about them and lie down to months of sleep; but exist in a stage of arrested development or in a semi-pupa state. It is a period of inactivity to all outward appearances, but vithin great changes are taking place. After this they are to see the world in an altogether differ¬ ent light During this period the coccix or tail of the previous year is entirely lost, and the deep green color is turned to an amber hue. The large jaws or mandibles used in the mastication of Fresh (man) lau¬ rel wreaths, and the devouring of Baker’s Laws of Argumentation, are changed to the thin lips for oratory. During this season one of the Campbell species of remarkable linguistic ability secured the prize in an oratorical contest in which the older species were interested. The brain capacity of these fellows was greatly enlarged over that of the previous year, but despite this fact they recognized their inability to make an X hibition, as was the habit for those in sim¬ ilar stages of development. But as was stated these were a lot of agile specimens, and during the spring season when the weather was best for their upbuilding they developed pedal appendages strong and active, and by these organs were able to win a contest against their enemies, carrying off the fruits of the field meet. In the early summer, when the warm season of June and July came on, the restless natures began to show themselves, and the sac-cloth sheath was thrown off and they took their flight into other climes. But with the return of the fall these family members came back with the heavy sheath changed to a gown of silk. IMAGO STAGE. On reception night these priestly robed figures lead forth the young embryos into the ways of social hierarchy. The full mean¬ ing of life is upon them. The old ideas and habits are changed to new and modern ones. Each one taking under his care a number of young Sunday school embryos, his wings begin to develop, and the long, solemn face of seniority and piosity appears. In the cool autumn air one of our number, rather small in size, but of strong wings and an extraordinary proboscis, soars Zion-ward on airy pinions of oratory, bringing back later the laurels of inter¬ collegiate victory. Then, too, those of athletic trend organize them¬ selves into a nine and challenge their senior imagos (the Faculty) to a game at the bat and beat them to the tune of “The Butterfly Ball. ,, When the winter season comes on, development is arrested for a time, but as the spring again opens up the fully developed imago appears. With special providential privileges, which the queen of the realm bestows, he wanders forth into the timber with his choic¬ est mate, the companions of the sunlight and breeze. This, in short, is the history of the class of 1906, for, indeed, it has been necessary to omit many of the important and interesting features of these delicate specimens. But we hope that ou: zoolog¬ ical aspirants may be interested in their peculiar development, and be encouraged to look further into their life history and watch their effect on the whole race of species of their kind. But further, they have an attraction for the philosopher. For is not their life and development significant of the soul life and development? The larva stage is the stay of the soul on earth, the pupa or quiet stage that of death and finally the imago, that of the soul in its final ideal¬ istic state. With the deep meanings connected with the peculiar and inter¬ esting development, is it any wonder that these zoological specimens have been considered by many eminent scientists as the most inter¬ esting, energetic, individualistic, promising, good-looking specimens which ever decked the campus.

Regardless of ap¬ pearance, our Faculty are a cultured set. Several have been abroad for travel and study. The whole Faculty have voted to go abroad durin’ the com¬ ing summer to recuperate from the ex¬ haustive labor of fashioning Alumnae and Alumni out of the Class of ’06. Most of them evidently have morn¬ ing classes for they have “A. M.” af¬ ter their names. That LL. D. after the President’s name is too deep for us, un¬ less it be a misprint and ought to read L I. D. At any rate he keeps the lid on very tight. Names are deceivin’ also. Cook does not teach Domestic Science and neither does Wolfe instruct in the sci¬ ence of animals, and Cooper knows very little about making barrels. Every member of the Faculty is an active Christian and their religion is sorely tested when the Senior class ap¬ pears for recitation (?). It is under¬ stood that the Faculty passed a reso¬ lution informing Job that he had a smecure, since he never had the Senior class around. Our Profs, are very susceptible to new ideas, for rumor is that they al¬ ways revise their textbooks after ex¬ ams. from the new suggestions received from original students. They have been known to uncover their heads in the presence of certain students whose originality has been displayed in an exam. Don’t forget to remember that “looks is deceivin’ ” and we do think rather muchly of our Faculty. If you hazard a word to the contrary we might act without removing coats. —B. G. M.

Once as he labored o’er his books. The wind blew out his light. And when he saw his light was out, He gave a knowing grin, Then took a quarter down to Bill’s, And quickly—blew it in. II “Say, say, errand-boy, have you any notes?” “Yes, sir, I have, sir, in both my coats, One for the matron and one for you Ana one for the reprobate who broke No. 2.” Ill Little Joe Warnick With a sore neck, Sat eating a Ringo pie. He stuck in his spoon, And pulled out a prune, And said, “What a Spooner am IV Little Boy Blue, 0 what shall we do? The young men and women are all breaking “Two.” Where is the night-watch to break up their game? Over at Lawrence’s, doing the same. V It isn’t the things that you burn, cook, But the things that you leave underdone, That give me a bit of a heart-burn At a quarter after one. The meat that you meant to boil, cook, The potatoes you meant to fry, The heavyweight pie-crust you meant to be light As the wing of the butterfly. You may say that the stove is no good, cook, You may blame the poor kitchen-boy, But soft-boiled biscuits, and half-frozen hash Are beyond my power to enjoy. For it isn’t the things that you burn, cook, But the things that you leave underdone, That give me a bit of a heart-burn At a quarter after one. VI The moonlight falls on Copley Hall, With windows bright in lighted glory. Tne night-watch stalks along the walks, And steals around the dormitory. Blow! student, blow! douse your glim in a minute, Or you’ll be strictly in it, in it, in it. Some Localisms in Verse -Continued. JAMES PARKS, EX-’06 VII To the orchard cometh Murray, Cometh Murray, prince of gardeners, Murray of the Work Department; Seeking for the youths he left there, Youths with sharp and shining axes. For he said to them on parting, “0 ye lads whom Breen hath sent me, 0 ye young men of the Family, Labor here a while I pray you, Labor till I come returning. ” So he speedeth through the forest, By the footpath through the forest, Cometh even to the orchard, To the orchard where he left them. There he sees the p ach-tree fallen, Sees the apple lying prostrate, But the young men of the Family, With their sharp and shining axes Gladden not his eager vision, Gladden not the heart of Murray. Loud and long he calls them, sadly, In a high melodious tenor, In a voice of deepest pathos. Turns he then his steps to Westcott, To the wigwam of Prof. Stephens, Stephens of the Work Department. Then the young men of the Family Find awaiting them at dinner, Find beside their plates at dinner, Notes of dire and awful purport, Notes which fill their hearts with anguish, Saying, “You have been reported, You have ceased to work too early, And you now must pay the fiddler, You may now erase your time-check.” Such is life in old Missouri, On the banks of the White Aloe, In the quaint old town of Parkville. vm Flunk, flunk, flunk, 0 professor, it’s only me, Would that I had studied the lesson! Would that you would let me be! And the big round zeros go down, 0 professor, all over your card, I suppose I shall have to borrow a horse, This Livy is getting so hard. Flunk, flunk, flunk, I suppose I shall make an E, And the chance I just lost to make a 10, Will never come back to me. All Bfffi V History of Junior Class—1907. “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances. And one man in his time plays many parts. ” Shakespeare certainly had a good mind, for he spoke truths which applied not to a generation only, but to centuries of peoples. The Junior Class, the class of 1907, entered the lists for the coveted prize of learning, in the fall of 1903, forty-five strong. Since that time our ranks have witnessed many changes. Some have been mustered into other fields of service; some have gone down on the firing line. What the end will be, who will constitute our number when we leave our college halls, no one knows, for “who may tell what a year will bring forth?” As we pause in review of the past before lowering our lances for the final onslaught, many and varied scenes pass before us, and the retrospect does not always present a record of Victory. The Freshman campaign began with the abduction of some half of the Sophomore class canes. After their ransom no more excite¬ ment roused our spirits until foot-ball enlivened us. But the victory was ours, and Fisher brot home in triumph the laurels of the gridiron. These are only a beginning of the list of trophies which bring back fond recollections of the time when the bugle first sounded in our college career. Galbraith, who was fleet of foot, won for us the grand prize in the field meet, but with these few of the many vic¬ tories won we close our sporting column of the First year and pass on to tell of achievements in other fields of action. In the literary world the Sophomores made life quite interesting; however we were victorious there also, and the first to be mentioned is that of the annual class debate. So jubilant were we over the outcome of this that our honored braves were borne to Nickel Ban¬ quet Hall, where with mirth and music we celebrated the victory. Debate not alone occupied our attention, for on Commencement Day we were awarded first prizes in declamation and essay work. The Sophomore campaign began with L. E. Simrall in the chair. Many of our comrades o the previous year were . ith us no more, but our cohort marched gallantly onward. Remembering our joys of the past year and the impetus victory gives to one starting on his college career, we conceded many honors to the ’08’s. This year our men began to take up “the larger work,” some engaging in intercollegiate debate. The record of our first two college years shows many victories and defeats. Sometimes our champions as victors have been over¬ whelmed by congratulations of friends; sometimes in defeat they have been left to bear up their own spirits, “lonesome as a coal- bucket in a strike. ” As to the finale of our college career we are not y t prepared to say what it will be, but remembering the things which have gone before we have set our faces toward the goal. Under the stalwart leadership of James Chapman we are now clos¬ ing another cycle of our course. The Past has its lessons. The future has its hope, and we look eagerly forward to the time when the Class of 1907 will join the roll of Park’s Alumni, glad to honor and pay respect to the Canary and the Wine. Ralph A.

The history of every institution is marked by great epochs from which dates of important events are recalled. The Record of Park College begins with the Period of “Creation” in 1875, and arrange¬ ments are already being made by the Board of Trustees for the launching of another epoch upon the graduation of the Class of ’08. Among its members are individuals with varied reputations (with the Faculty). We follow a “Course” that is long and irregular, but who doubts that our “Lights” will shine the more brilliantly, and whether we assume the role of a baker, a cook or a merchant, every Woodside and Dale will re-echo with our notable achievements. Success! why that is a household word among us; so common in fact that a number of our men went out to canvass for it last year. Ye call us Chief! ye do well to call them Chief who have met every form of oratory and debate the whole empire of Park could furnish, and have always paid our bills. The record of the Class of ’08 is tho¬ roughly first-class and modern, with patents still pending. Turn back the pages of our history, when as a band of 62 we enlisted in the ranks to join in hot pursuit of the college curriculum. Not many months ago whers we now stand the rumbling clouds of the Freshman-Sophomore Debate lowered upon the horizon. There was a sound of revelry by night, and anxious hearts beat in unison with the drum. But when the morning dawned and the smoke of battle cleared away, behold, it was all over (with the Class of ’07). For want of space we can not dwell on all the achievements of the Class during the past two or three years. Our girls hold the record in Essay and Declamatory, and the boys possess a national reputation on the Work Department. For the benefit of those who may wish to learn of the life and work of the Class in future years we would suggest refer¬ ence to the current periodicals, the Police Gazette, and the Park College Record. But with jesting aside, we feel deeply the loss of one who though a classmate but a short time made a place for himself in the hearts of all of us. The Father in His wisdom has seen fit to call him Home, but to him death was gain, and he left upon us, his class¬ mates, the imprints of a noble Christain life. Nor has this year been without its sorrow. Death has claimed another, whose life among us gave promise of future usefulness and the fulfillment of noble purposes. Reese Griffith was growing in the regard of his fellow students, and especially in the estimation of those of us who knew him best. Albert W. Orr.

Freshmen! the very name suggests green forests and acres of uncultivated land; but little does that thought an¬ noy, since we, at least, realize that there is a great deal of good in us, and in the three long years yet to come, we hope to prove our usefulness to the Park College world. Little opportunity has yet been afforded us to display to those about us of what “stuff” we are made. Yet quite inclined are we to regard the goodly number of triumphs which our Academy career records, as omens of victories yet to come. As to victories in the classroom: many a one is ours. The dread Titus Livius, the silvertongued Horace, have we met and made our own. While victories, Kai Kara ko.i Kara OaXarrav, have been ours elsewhere along the proverbi¬ ally rough trail over which Freshmen are wont to pass. The names of sweet singers and wonderful pianists, as well as declaimers and orators, deck our class roll; while last, but truly not least, we have debaters who we feel sure will rank well with the already long list of Park’s illustrious debaters—indeed, the unanimous deci¬ sion which they won this year over the sophomore veter¬ ans is promise for the future. We announced ourselves Freshmen at the beginning of the year by our first appearance in the Alumni building on the evening of the Fall reception: Freshmen we are to this day, and however much we may dread the time when the law of progress demands we move on to the next stage, yet we feel sure that the intervening years will soon glide by, and when our time shall arrive, we shall be abundantly equipped to announce ourselves as staid and dignified Seniors.

FRESHMAN CLASS ’09 COPLEY PROVERBS Let not thy roommate do all the work; and the easy chair abandon to him always. My son, be wise: sweep thy dust into the hall that the reproach of slothfulness may be taken away from the janitor, who hath a special job. It is not admirable to live like a pig either passively or actively; and a combination of both is an abomination. Touch not the portrait of thy roommate’s sweetheart, lest his anger fall upon thee. He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him. It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop than with a brawling old woman, in a good room. Go not forth hastily to strive with him that picketh upon the lute; but him that bloweth the trumpet, do thou dash out his brains with a brick. When thou sweepest the floor and thy wife maketh not the bed, do thou that also: for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, Whoso hideth his coffeepot when footsteps approach is prudent; but the stingy man subscribeth not for the Narva. THE COPLEY SENIOR.2 The quarterbell is ringing out the day; The common herd is crawling into bed. My wife retires, and still I toil away, A dampened towel wrapped about my head. Now fade the lights of Copley on the sight, And nearly all the rooms are still as death, Save where the Freshman studies late at night And cusses Livy underneath his breath: Save where across the hall from hour to hour The Sophomore laments his aches and pains, And makes remarks in language strong and sour About his most notorious lack of brains. The Junior sighs as rings the quarter bell, And in a voice with wrath intense and deep, Consigns his textbooks one and all to- 3 And wearily betakes himself to sleep. But I yield not to anger nor despair— A vision of Commencement lures me on — And so I dig, with fingers in my hair; And that oration—it is done by dawn!

In the autumn of ’01, Emerson Club was formed by the men of the Class of ’05. Two reasons were prominent among those of its organization; first, the then existing societies were full almost to the limit of effective work, and the class of that year brought many new men into college life who desired to do ef¬ fective society work. Second, the members forming the new club desired work, and lots of it, such as could only be obtained in a small club. Little effort was made to expand the club; indeed, when our Faucett was “turned off” in ’03, when our Nation departed in ’04, and when our Orr drifted away in ’05, we Snell (-ly) became a very small, but still enthusiastic band, of workers. With the depart¬ ure of our charter members last year it was deemed best to disband. The membership was then as pictured on the opposite page. L. R. R. EMERSON CLUB—’05 J V -- fi!

President - Una Van Alen ’06 Vice President - Emma Youngman ’06 Recording Secretary - Nina Bernheim ’06 Corresponding Secretary and Treas. Laura Stapleton ’06 The Young Woman’s Missionary Society of Park College was or¬ ganized in March, 1894. At that time, and continuing until the fall of 1903, its membership was composed of any young women of the institution regardless of College or Academy affiliations. In the fall of 1903 a division was made in the society, and an academy so¬ ciety was organized leaving only young women of the college as members of the Young Woman’s Missionary Society. The present membership of the society now numbers 55. It holds regular month¬ ly meetings, and ordinarily studies the regular Home and Foreign topics for each month. This year, however, the bases for study have been Japan and American Indian. ANNA W. MCAFEE MISSIONARY SOCIETY. OFFICERS—1905-6 President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Olive Glasgow Mary Reid Florence Creel Nellie Johnson Upon the division of the Young Woman’s Missionary Society in the fall of 1903, the young women of the Academy organized them¬ selves into the Anna W. McAfee Missionary Society. The member¬ ship now numbers 57. It holds regular monthly meetings, and its conduct corresponds to that of the College Society. The purpose of both these organizations is two fold: that the members may be brot into closer touch and sympathy with the great missionary move¬ ments of the world as well as with the work as it is now being pre¬ sented in the field; and that they may receive such training as shall enable them to become efficient workers in the church as occasions may offer in later years.

Until January, 1905, the Young Men’s and Young Women’s Chris¬ tian Associations existed only nom¬ inally at Park. At that time a visit from Mr. Brockman, State Secretary of Y. M. C. A., and from Miss Batchrlder, State Secretary of Y. W. C. A., resulted in the organ¬ ization of active associations. One feature which has been especially emphasized is the Mis¬ sion Study work. Heretofore this work has been carried on under the supervision of the Volunteer Band; the organization of Christian Associations made it possible to place it under their auspices, where it rightfully belongs.

Mitchell, ’06 The object of the Associations is ! to develop Christian character among the students, and to encourage them ' to practical Christian work. It en¬ deavors to maintain high moral and Christian standards and to create an atmosphere of earnestness. Of the various organizations of the college, none is capable of touching the stu¬ dent life more closely. Nor does any wield a more potent influence in equipping young men and women with a purpose to perform faithfully the duties which lie before them—a purpose to make the most of them- ' selves, and thereby be enabled to help ' others more effectually.

From the turrets on that hill, greeting now our eager sight Waft the folds of the Canary and the Wine. Come ye students one and all, gathered in from many a shore Let us rally to our loved ensign. Sadness to our hearts will steal, when we come to stand no more ’Neath the folds of the Canary and the Wine. Chorus Waft the folds of the Canary and the Wine— Waft the folds of Park’s ensign. In vict’ry or defeat let our union be complete ; Let us forward to the Canary and the Wine, the Wine, the Wine, Let us forward to the Canary and the Wine, Let us shout our Mater’s worth, shout it gladly far and wide; May her name none e’er outshine! We will rally to her side, we will help whate’er betide— Waft the folds of the Canary and the Wine. See her loyal children come, casting off all toil and care, Once again her joys entwine; For their hearts are ever there, where upon the western air Float the folds of the Canary and the Wine. —Mrs. Mary Best McKinney, ’98.

To our brave and bonnie College We pledge our loyalty. On hills she sits enthroned. Brave waters lave her feet. From our heart she’s ne’er dethroned In her deep love-streams meet. E’er trail o’er all her towers The ivy’s clasping vine; Ever through her chapeled bowers Affection’s tendrils twine. A Song of Park. Air: “Flow Gently, Sweet Afton.” Key of A, Above the great river our fair College stands, And looks o’er its flood to the broad, fertile lands She nestles in bowers of ivy and elm, Enthroned on the hillside, the queen of a realm. Her children are joyful and sing to her praise With hearts ever cheerful though dark be the days. 0 may they by service their loyalty prove And ever remember her labors of love! Among the green woodlands and broad fields of grain For wreaths and for garlands she longs not in vain. The brooks at her feet sing her praise as they go, And chant ere they’re lost in the swift river’s flow. 0 may we her memory ever keep green With fond recollections when changed is our scene. We’ll join our White Aloe with life’s restless tide, Infusing Park’s precepts, the true and the tried. The waters that caroled her praises have gone To join the far ocean, and still they go on. Perchance in some desert on some foreign shore At last they refresh some sad wanderer poor. So from her staunch walls have Park’s sons gone away To island and mainland to labor and pray. They minister comfort to hearts as they roam And think of the days in their old College Home. —Lloyd C. Goff, Acad. ’03. Marching Song. Air: “Marching Onward.” Key of D. Hail! Our Alma Mater! To our tribute hark, Hear thy sons and daughters hail thee, dear old Park! We, thy loyal children, to thine honor cling, And, from hard fought contests, laurels proud we bring. Chorus. — Marching onward, forward, (Marching onward, marching onward, onward, Forward, marching, forward, forward.) Onward! shouting loud our slogan, Sis! Boom! Ah ! Marching onward, forward, (Marching onward, marching onward, onward, Forward marching, forward, forward.) Ensign of our vic’try, to the front! Hurrah! We shall guard Park’s banner as a sacred trust. Plant her ensigns higher, struggle though we must, Here we pledge our valor, honor bright and just, Ne’er shall trail Canary and the Wine in dust. R. A. Buchanan, ’01.

Tell me, who are you any way? You whom I daily meet, With whom acquaintance seems to make The mystery more complete? Where is the heart of your life and thought? And what is enthroned there, In the close recess of that guarded spot Where your life breathes its own free air? Beneath all those forms that serve but to hide Thy life from the vulgar scorn, What is there there that may abide Life, thru its fitful storm? Nay, nay, what is sown Into the life secretly Thine own, keep thine own Between thy Lord and thee. The Lorelei. Translated by the late James A. Parks, ’06. I know not why this sadness, Should steal upon my heart; A scarce remembered legend, Refuses to depart. The air is cool, in the twilight The peaceful Rhine flows by; The mountain tops are gleaming Against a darkening sky. A maid of ' wondrous beauty Is seated high in air, With gold and jewels shining. She combs her golden hair. Of gold is the comb she uses, As she sin s a mournful song, With words of mystic meaning, And melody deep and strong. In his vessel below, the boatman Is t roubled, he knows not why, He sees not the rocks before him, His gaze is fixed on the sky. And see! o’er ship and sailor, The angry waters roar. Then hushed is the fatal singing, The Lorelei’s work is o’er. r oun FOOL, ERECTED I lit. THE. ONL HIVE IN PARKVILLR.

I’d give a glove or ball or bat If I could imitate a cat. For I can bark just like a dog, An’ grunt as if I was a hog. An’ Mamie thinks I’m awful smart When I show off my mimic art By crowing like a rooster, then By cackling like a noisy hen. An’ Mamie has a seal-skin fur. An’ oh! it looks so nice on her, I like to rub it wi’h my hand. An’ Mamie giggles when I stand Humped like a cat, and show her how A cat looks pleased; an’ nen I meow. An’ every time I rub that fur, I wish to gosh that I could purr! From a Sermon on Faith and Ideal. By Rev. Silas Evans. I. A thoughtless boy playing on Ocean Sand May some day feel a dislike for land. He knows not why he grows lonely on shore, Nor why he gets peace from the billiow’s roar, But one day he views a ship’s glad mast, And then he knows where his lot is cast. II. A farmer boy plods his homeward way, After the toil of a long spent day; He feels discontent within him stir, He feels ambition’s first sharp spur; That night he meets his college friend, And then he knows where his life must tend. in A student is reading far into the night, His future success lends the task a delight; But what is success, he is led to inquire, And his spirit is restless, he can not aspire, But one day he helps in another man’s strife, And then he knows, that to serve is true life. IV. Ah! type, of all, kept for the present view Has always some traits of the noble and true; But still man grows restless in his narrow bounds, And he hears the deep rumblings of nobler sounds, ’Till some little Providence fits gear to the soul Which bears him on the path of his higher goal. THE COMMEMORATION ODE Composed by Rev. Charles H. Derr, ’01, And read by A. J. McMillan, ’03, at the Inauguration Exercises on May 12, 1904. GREETINGS TO PARK We greet thee, Park! where first our soul awoke From boyish dreams in strenuous strife to learn The riddle of existence, to discern The secret seat of life. Thy wisdom spoke A restless peace. Our path thou didst revoke From fallow fields, didst summon thoughts that burn And rage till in our dormant heart there yearn A thousand ceaseless longings. Forth they broke And set our soul aflame. Sweet Memory, lend Thine art, retrace our steps, that we may feel Anew the thrill of first awakened thought. From sleep, from dawn, from glimmer we ascend To glowing sun. May each new year reveal, 0 Park, thy faith in men and women wrought. Thou teachest to survey the earth; to view The stars; to study wars and overthrows; To read the lore of Greece and Rome; disclose The unknown future by the past; pursue Famed writings of the thoughtful, good and true; To scan fair nature’s varied page that shows A lily’s love, the romance of a rose, A red-bird’s breast, the dragon-fly’s canoe; To love our comrades and to sympathize; To know ourselves and what we ought to be; To worship God in homage that uplifts: We greet thy natal day, 0 Teacher wise. We greet thy Guide, thy Founder’s son. May he Live long to grace thee with his richest gifts. IN MEMORIAM HENRY SHATTUCK VERRILL A. B., Hamilton. A. M., harvard. Professor of Literature, 1892-1901 Died August 29th, 1901 In Memory of Professor Verrill. When wand’ring through the fields at even There grew perchance in thy path a flower fair, With lily petals turned up to heaven To drink the dew and shower with grateful prayer. Didst mark it well and vow within thy heart To gain from God, thy God above, Confessing guilt and failing on thy part, The blessings given through His boundless love? The precious lesson of the flower didst thou learn, And see the Father ' s purpose and thine? That all men should His love discern, In thee behold His image blest, divine. Nay, thou didst not, but thou didst pass by Unnoted, God’s creation of matchless art! For its message didst all care deny, And lost the good designed for thy heart. In thoughtless, foolish hurry had no dream That frost would beauty, message, all, efface, Ere the tide of Life s swift ocean stream Should bring again the chance to thine embrace. And thus—Oh, why, with thought on self, did we 1 ' he grace and virtues rare our friend possessed Neglect while yet with us, or did we see— Allow our words of praise to be confessed, Making glad and light the heart of one Who thinking not of self nor asking praise, Has foug ht for us and watched our battles begun, Eager for our winning in the race. Nor fair, nor just, the passive flower to compare With the active purpose of his life intent To mould and beautify in outline rare, The many talents to his training lent. Not asking that to him the praise be given— That one should mark the ceaseless care bestowed At countless cost from early morn till even— In endless thought for us his rich life flowed. “Eternity is on.’’ From earth has passed The one who first for us that thought made plain, Methinks it was God’s way to teach at last The lesson only seen through tears and pain. Too great the task in service undertaken, Too frail the body for the heart within, la noble souls God’s voice through nature doth waken The slumb’ring powers, making them to win New strength for duties waiting; far above The noise and worry, from the mountain wind His list’ning heart received the call of love— Heard, with faith by service true refined. With eyes bedimmed we feign would mourn that day That left naught save his memory to bless us, Till the heavy mists have rolled away In splendor, and revealed friends now at rest. Methinks the voice melodious, rich and sweet, Unhushed doth in a gladder, nobler song Of praises ring, there at the Savior’s feet, And swell the chorus of th’ angelic throng. Methinks his love and care are o’er us still. Before the Throne he prays with suppliant face That we be strong to do the Master’s will, That we for every hour be given grace. Theresa M. Kalb, ’03. IN MEMORIAM ELEANOR CHESNUT, M. I). 1868-1905 Miss Eleanor Chesnut entered Park College in 1883; completed her college course in 1888. Five years of subsequent training well pursued, first in Chicago; later in Moody Institute and still later in Woman ' s Reformatory prison, of South Farmington, Massachusetts. In 1894 she entered Foreign Mission work. She was sent to Lien Chow, China, where she remained unti she became a victim of the Lien Chow, massacre in the fall of 1905. “She was a student at Park College. She followed the student rounds. She worked. She studied. She had share of the extras, those essentials of student life. She fought out the com¬ mon life-battles, and some severely uncommon. She was often sad. She had friends, but they often failed to cure her loneliness. Oppressed by homelessness, fatherlessness, motherlessness, she cried out, “Nobody cares where I go cr what I do.” “It makes no difference about me.” That severe was the battle. When she died there was very much difference. Thousands upon two continents cared how she fared, that she fell stricken. Out of her life sprang cheer to spread cheer-contagion. She lived her whole life at the last to hearten sad lives with cheer. Chinamen thought her wonder¬ ful; friend said to friend, “Here’s the charm of Christlikeness.” She poured out her life in frag¬ rant offering to God. In her death she was meet to be pierced like her Master. That complete was the triumph.—Quotations from Stylus, Dec. ’05. J IN MEMORIAM Lilies In Memory of James A. Parks, Ex. ’06 Who Died July 17, 1903. From the halls of our loved Alma Mater, Touched with parting we bore the refrain Of a hymn sung half to each other, “God be with you till we meet again.” The partings came as they must come Still always along on our road, And each took up his direction Where he should bear up of life’s load. Forgetting the faces of class friends, Finding est in new labors of love, Still loyal we were by that spirit In which we were wont to move. Our vacation stole by on soft feet, So swift and so noiseless it was, Of things and of thots so replete That scarce we know where it has gone. And then came the time of returning, The which we were thinking of then, When we parted each other singing The hymn “’Till we meet again.” The time has arrived and departed But our number is not complete; For another loved member is gone To be with those at the Master’s feet. We know that the coming is precious To the Master, of those he loves the best; How he loves to gather the roses, The ones that bloom for him best. So we know why he has bereft us, At least of the reason in part; For we know that heaven is brighter For the presence of his pure loving heart. To those who share in our sorrow we his class-mates Express our deepest sympathy and commend the Lve Of the One who saw fit to pluck a bloom so rare. —H. Phil.

W. Orr, ’08 It’s mighty good to git back to the old place, shore, A bein’s I’ve been away from school a year and more. Since then I’ve been rovin’ and of course I see a change A cornin’ back and findin’ things that’s new and very strange, Especially at even, when the band boys used ter meet To fill the air with music that sounded mighiy sweet. What’s come of all the fellers, I’d like to know—say, I long to hear the band of last year play Such things as old “America” and “Swanee River” don’t you know, And “Stars and Stripes Forever,” and “Old B ack Joe,” And a lot o’ other things that touched your very heart, Till, wrapped up in the music, big tears’d begin to start; And when the boys ’ud gather, and play upon the hill, I’d sit me all in silence, as satisfied and still, Till every tune was ended, and each echo died away,— How I long to hear the band of last year play. Remember down at Carrollton, how the boys ’ud toot and blow, And last year down at Cameron, how our fellers was the show, ’Tain’t nothing like it used to be, that good old college band, Them old time strains of music was always in demand; And I feel a sorter sadness a creepin’ over me When I recall the fellers, and how things used ter be; And still my old time memories keep a sayin’ ev’ry day, I long to hear the band of last year play. r The Quarter Bell Written during the Winter Months when the Quarter Bell was “Hors de Combat.” Old Quarter Bell, We’ve missed your voice, That rang so strong and true, Naught can take Your place, because We’re grown so used to you. No substitute Of any kind, Nor whistle, gong or call Will satisfy Within our minds A lack so felt by all. Your call inspires A hundred joys; Alas! and much grief too, When they must rise, Those lazy boys, As each day breaks anew. We’ll hear your voice Quite gladly, when You ring for us again. We’ll rise at six And go to meals And go to bed at ten. So come back And take your place Amidst our busy life. We need you here, Anon to grace This ceaseless round of strife. J GOLD DUST. The day of note is come again When prof, with Senior takes the bat; J. E. is in the catcher’s pen,— The Seniors’ score is getting fat. Si twirls the ball toward catcher high, A Senior cracks it twice a mile. Unfair, quoth Si, you know that I As a suggestion threw that out. O ancient steak upon my plate; Prostrate to thee I bow, And may the gods avert the fate To live as long as thou. Ilka book a cover has, JNay, you say, not mine; — Then up unto the Library And pay your little fine. Should Chapel Hymnals be forgot :J§And never brot to mind, The Chaplain sure will send you out To come another time. Alas! poor Kate long passed away And nevtr will come back, But what of that? We will, I say, Just use the ten cent hack. The air is full of shrieks and sounds, A mighty battle on? Oh no! the Glee Club of our town Is learning college songs. A fire department we have at Park, And best of all—it’s real. Our real department will ne’er depart. It’s all we have—our reel. ALUMNI ALUMNI BUILDING Officers of the Alumni Association J.

V DRAWN BY A FRESHIE “AS OTHERS SEE US” DRAWN BY A SOPH On June 28th, 1906, thirty-five inmates of this prison will be dis¬ charged. Others may be paroled or transferred at that time, but these are to be liberated unconditionally, their terms having expired. In some cases time is being allowed for good behavior.

(Iu the Story Contest this production was awarded the first prize of $5.00 offered by Prof. William H. Cooper. “What’s up, Rockie?” queried the boys as they saw Richard Rockwell’s face lengthen over the note he was reading. “Don’t ask me. All I know is I’m wanted at the office at nine tomorrow.” “Perhaps,” with a twinkle, “perhaps the president and I are to confer about the moral and intellectual condition of you fellows.” “You have struck nearer than you think,” drawled a Senior lounging near by. “I’m supposed to be mum as a mute about office affairs, but I guess there is no harm in telling you that you are to be questioned about a cheating deal the president scents. I don’t know exactly what’s up, but some of your class seem to have won a prize unfairly or something of that sort.” “Now, Dick, chap, shorten that face a yard or two,” ordered a patronizing junior coming up. “Yes, do,” added another; “You needn’t be scared, for you have a stand-in with the president —or else you are everlastingly good,” he finished grudgingly. One heart in the group had leaped, then stopped in suffocating dread One face blanched with sudden terror, but Rockwell was the center of interest and Benton walked away unnoticed. In blank, unthinking agony he went to his room. Mechanically he sat down at his desk. “I might have known this would be the end of it. I knew it was dirt mean. Why didn’t I have the sense to keep straight,” he groaned. He sat thinking, silent and motionless. The sun glared into the room, over the table, up the wall, out of sight The little clock ticked away as gaily as ever. He noticed it absently, then resentfully. The shadows deepened in the corners. The gloom settled on his spirits. “Say, Benton, won’t you let a fellow in?” rang out a voice at the door. He started up but hesitated. “Oh, come on, now. No ’possuming. I’ve knocked my knuckles off already, so let me in.” “In a minute, Rock,” he answered, sulky but relieved at the in¬ terruption of his unpleasant thots. “In the dark? Well, you’re a great one. But you can tell me where the calculus lesson is. I need a guardian to remember-.” He stopped short at sight of Ben¬ ton’s face. “Why, Bennie, you look like the shade of your great grand¬ father’s ghost! Not sick, are you?” “Oh, no, but I guess I’m a little under the weather, and now I’ve half frozen myself into the bargain;” and he bustled about the stove to get away from the inquiring eyes of his visitor. Rockwell’s curiosity was aroused. Like a flash he remembered how Benton had slunk off while they talked of the president’s note that afterno on. Suppose it was Benton! He sat thinking, hardly noticing Benton’s flurried talk about his troublesome fire, the early dusk, and so on. His quick mind was putting events together. He was being forced to the only possible conclusion. He remem¬ bered—oh, if he only could forget it—he remembered the bulky envelope he had jokingly handed Benton. He remembered the eager, shamefaced look with which Benton had noted the “Re¬ turn to E. R. V., Springdale, 0 ” He remembered how, that same afternoon, Ned Davis had been telling how lucky Benton was, “has his oration written and it’s a winner. ” Rockwell had envied the talent that enabled a boy to write an oration in two days, for hadn’t Benton said just that week that he couldn’t even decide on a sub¬ ject. Why would his mind so persistently recall each detail, how Ned had spoken of Benton’s humility “Why, he even seemed ashamed to show me an oration like that. If I’d written one half as good I’d think myself a second Demosthenes.” Benton had ceased bustling about and was lighting the gas. “I’ll show you about the calculus now,” he said, “I jotted it down somewhere. Oh, here it is. The problems on page fifty-nine and those we didn’t get today.” “What problems?” asked Rock¬ well, rousing himself “Those on page fifty-nine. Looks to me as if the infallible Mr. Rockwell is getting absent minded,” in his half sneering manner. “Infallible! No, but I wish every one else was, or the president less infallible as a detective tomorrow.” “See here, you don’t mean to say you’re going to peach on a — on that fellow tomorrow?” Then to cover his suspicious interest he added, “He may deserve it, but still he may have had reasons you don’t know about.” “Reasons! You know you had no reason for doing a thing like that.” Benton noticed that “you,” and his last hope vanished. To his credit he never thot of persuading Rockwell to conceal the truth, but he did have a sudden desire to make his fault seem less con¬ temptible, so persisted: “You’d think there was a reason if, for years, you hadn’t had money enough for bare necessities —and if you saw your mother’s face grow worn and anxious and—and then if you found out she was working, actually hard, for a grown up son — ” He stopped abruptly, but guessing the thots in his companion’s mind, he went on:“ I have thot of giving up school to earn money, but the first suggestion of that has always distressed mother so much that I had to yield. Poor mother, she is too ambitious or too loyal. She wants me to do just as we had planned before father’s death, but it’s a hard pull — a terribly hard pull. ” He paused, but Rockwell said nothing, so he went on: “At last I had determined to leave school, whatever happened, and just then came that contest; and one day I noticed that Springdale ad —and—you know the rest of it.” V The si ' Ience that followed was broken by Benton saying bitter¬ ly, “And now mother must suffer for my — my— ” “Your fault,” supplemented Rockwell sympathetically. Then more briskly — “Wha ' t’s to 1 be done about it? That’s what we are up against now.” Benton’s hopeless look was his only reply. After a while he started to 1 speak, but hesitated. “Can you think of some way out?” prompted the other. “I thought—aren’t you the only one who has proof about it?” “Yes, I believe so. At least I don’t see what any one else can know about the matter?” Benton brightened and sug¬ gested that perhaps Rockwell could just neglect to answer the pres¬ ident’s summons. He saw his answer in Rockwell’s face before he heard the curt reply:- “’Twould only mean a second note.” Rock¬ well had little patience with slow minds. Benton was again in despair at the thought of the coming dis¬ grace. Rockwell was thinking of the same and of its consequences on his career. He was trying scheme after scheme and rejecting each as futile or dishonorable. Like a flash came the only possible way. Must he do that? Could he bear to do it? Why should he do so much for a boy who was no friend of his. His whole mind re¬ belled against the plan, but deep in his heart he knew that he would shield Benton in just that way. Still it was impossible to tell Ben¬ ton of it cheerfully, so he curried away, saying only that he would get him out of the scrape some way. For long weary hours he was tempted to give up the plan and let Benton take care of himself as best he could. He thought of the loss of college standing it involved, of the loss of home confi¬ dence—of the loss of everything, it seemed to him. He scorned his selfishness, but was tempted as before The hours dragged on. He fell asleep. A few troubled dreams, a few last regretful thoughts, and it was time to hurry to the morning train. How cold the dawn! How dull the sodden leaves, the drizzling mist! He plodded along, depressed but determined as ever. “Rock, where are you going?” and there stood Benton, the last boy in the world he wanted to see just then. “Oh, it’s you, is it? I didn’t know before that you were one of the early birds. ’ ’ “Never got up to see, did you?’ ’Then more gravely, “You are not going away because of my affair are you? You mustn’t. It will get you into trouble and be just as bad when you come back.” “Yes, when I come back,” laconically. Benton stood still in astonishment. He could not see why Rock¬ well should make such a sacrifice for him. He said as much, but Rockwell’s only answer was that it was no great sacrifice. He had been thinking of the university, anyway—and he had, for just ten seconds. “But what will your people think?” “Oh, I can explain if necessary, and you could hardly do that without hurting your mother worse than ever.” Benton felt the uninterested thrust but persisted, “I’d feel mean to let you suffer for my fault.” Rockwell saw that his plan would be spoiled if he did not “drive some sense into the fellow’s head,” as he expressed it, so he spoke out sharply, “Well, what if you do feel mean. Couldn’t you suffer a little to save your mother’s feelings after all she has done for you? And as to my part of it. If I’m going to the university anyway I might as well go when it is convenient all around. So hush up, my man.” And he changed the subject to Glee club and other college matters. Benton, watching the under expression of his companion’s face, knew that pleading was in vain. He thought of confessing to the president, but as Rockwell had said, that was impossible on his mother’s account. Their brisk walk brought them to the station early, and prefer¬ ring the pure air to the crowded waiting room, they sauntered about outside. “Why, Mr. Rockwell, you aren’t going away, and just before exams. You lucky bright people, who never have to cram, ” she complimented smiling. “No, Miss Halcomb,” he replied bowing to the bright-faced classmate who just addressed him. “No, I’m only escaping the exams, altogether—going home to stay. ’ ’ ‘ ‘Nothing wrong at home, I hope?” she inquired sympathetically. “Nothing there, but a good deal here,” and he checked himself, remembering that a secret is a secret as long as not told. She noticed his sudden reserve, and her tone changed to coldest politeness. “Well, I must not detain you from your friend.” And she passed on to watch for the friend she was expecting. Rockwell stood still in surprise. “And that’s the confidence she has in me,” he thought, he in turn misunderstanding, for he did not know that the report had reached her that he had been called up about a cheating deal he was in and that his evident evasion and confusion had confirmed the accusations she had stoutly denied be¬ fore. “Lucky, Benton didn’t see her swing around so cool. He’d have blurted it all out if he had,” he thought, as he came up to his friend, who was standing absently watching the throngs of people coming off the train. His face was all white agony. He tried to speak and failed. Rockwell showed no notice, but hurried him along, talking carelessly as they went. He would treat it lightly. He mustn’t think, but as he took his seat he did think. He thought of the haughty face with its piqued, or could it possibly have been grieved, expression; and he thought of the other, pale with shame and sorrow, and not foreseeing when and how he should meet these two again, his heart was sad in the miserable present, but the “Cheer up, old fellow, you’ll never do it again,” that rang back from the window was full of courage and cheer. “And I never will. Heaver help me, I never will,” vowed Ben¬ ton, as he watched the train dwindle and go out in the mist. DANIEL K. PEARSONS, M. D. Chicago, 111.

Just completed is the President’s residence. Some of the Old-Timers Orpheus had just lost Eurydice by turning to look at her before they had emerged from Hades. “That’s rather tough,” mused Charon in his boat. “Seems to me they ought only to have put her under restrictions fora few weeks.” Rowing thotfully across the Styx, he devised a plan to make it, easier next time. His scheme was the precurser of Senior privileges. Minerva had sprung from the brain of Jove, much to the relief of the monarch. “Little Fishes!” he exclaimed. “Now I know what it feels like to remove a condition in Greek. ” Calling Juno, he hit out for a private picnic. The wily Mercury had talked the hundred-eyed Argus to sleep and set Io free. “My next effort,” he announced, “will be to evade the watch¬ fulness of the head matron on the Number Two proposition.” Running his fingers thru his hair, he bowed his back over the problem. Jupiter was offering a commission as Muse of Lyric Poetry to Euterpe. “But say,” she stipulated, “you won’t make me responsible for the rhymes in the Stylus, will you?” And when Jupiter reassured her on this point, she took the job. Morpheus returned late to the Cave of Sleep, and Somnus re¬ buked him. “Honest, tho, Dad,” he pleaded, “I was awful busy at Chapel Assembly, and then I had to attend to College Rhetoricals. ” So Somnus excused him, but he made poor Morpheus workover¬ time at the Junior “X.” Medea was putting the last touches to the poisoned robe for Ja¬ son’s new wife. “There, my girl,” she sneered. “You won’t get that off as lively as you do your kitchen apron when there ' s something doing at the Chapel.” Sending the gift over by the mail girl, she made her departure in the ten cent hack. Hercules had successfully completed his twelfth labor. “By Jove, Herk,” commended Euristhenes, “you’re there with the goods. I’d almost be willing to stake you as a Stylus or Narva Manager.” In generous admiration, the ex-employer set ’em up to sundaes. Ulysses had succeeded with difficulty in getting his men away from the land of the Lotus-eaters. “Might be a good scheme,” he reflected, “to mix some of that, lotos with the Family cereal.” Another idea struck him, and he sprinkled some of the yellow dust in his dugene before filling his pipe. Several of the gods were loafing in the smithy watching Vulcan at work. “By the way, Vulk,” asked Apollo, “how did you get your game foot?” “Dropped a rock on it when I was on the stone force,” replied the smith, “before I got my special job. You knew football was abolished, didn’t you?” Amid the laughter, Apollo sent Ganymede for tne drinks. V PRIZE RECORD laDZ- ' DB Commencement Oration Prize 1902 Ernest H. Wilson 1903 - R. C.

Soft hands are nicer far than rough, And cool repose than heated blood. This motto in the reading room Should be before your eye: “Return the book you draw, on time, Or kiss three cents goodbye.” All honor to the Family boy, Who labors in his jeans, And masticates with thankful heart His cereal and beans. A Lit’rature prof, who delighted to scoff At books that were recently writ, Read a novel one day by Bertha M. Clay, And at once was delighted with it. The night watch has an easy job, He sleeps ten hours a day; And when he hears the quarter bell, He’s free to yawn and say “Go to thunder—I don’t have to get up ’til I durn please.” And Some Limericks. There was a man broke out of prison Before the new moon had arisen. He vanished from sight In the heart of the night, With a big palpitation in his’n. There was a wee maiden at Snyder, And the matron did frequently chide her For breaking a rule Coming home after school, Just by letting a lad walk beside her. A prof with abnormal psychology Mixed poetry up with Ethnology. Half the time he let pass Cussing out the whole class And the other one-half in apology. There was a most wicked old sinner Who used to drink wine with his dinner. Since he’s mended his ways He receives ample praise, Bui the poor man is several pounds thinner. A billiard ball, smooth, round and red, Ben held in his hand, and he sed: “I’ll bet you a dollar That except for the collar, Here’s a miniature of my hed.” APPENDIX 1. Copley Proverbs.

For the uninitiated it may be well to state that we have used the term “broke out,” or “mutinied,” to mean “was fired or expelled;” and “paroled” as meaning dropped out of school for a time on account of health or some such cause. 5.

Hail, Class of nineteen-six, greetings we bring; May future songs be brightest ones we sing. May all the muses cast on us a charm; ’Twould only make our eager hearts more warm, If pleasure this occasion can procure, No toil or study but we can endure. Then, loyal sons and daughters, never tire, Remember Park, and raise the standard higher. Hail, Future, with your battles yet to fight, May days of sunshine chase the shades of night. Linked in golden bands of joy and peace United may we rise, and never cease To mount the heights of fame in honest toil, With banners streaming, safely reach the goal. Hail, Class of nineteen-six, greetings to Thee! Hail! Thrice hail, for the triumphs yet to be! ff. 1875 1906 SOME REASONS FOR CONSIDERING Park College IN DETERMINING WHAT INSTITUTION YOU WILL PA TRONIZ The Bible and Christian culture on a broad basis are empha¬ sized. The Classical Course of instruction is the only one maintained. A faculty of twenty-six members, all of whom are Christains, and were selected because of their knowledge and ability to teach, make possible a number of well selected “electives” in the Junior and Senior years. A well equipped Astronomical Observatory affords unusual op¬ portunities for research in this most pleasant science. Large, well lighted and perfectly ventilated lecture halls, with well equipped laboratories, make class-room work a real pleasure. A library of 16,000 volumes, most of them new and especially selected for College uses; a Reading room having on file the leading magazines and papers, secular and religious, with a competent libra¬ rian always present, are at the service of the faculty and student body. Proximity to Kansas City, with a convenient train service on the Burlington, makes possible the benefits of a large city while avoid¬ ing its dangers.
