If the names of all your friends you’d know, Just have them write them here helow. REV. S. L. McAFEE, d. d., “Uncle Sam” MRS. S. L. McAFEE, “Aunt Manie” DEDICATION To the ones beloved by many generations of Park stud¬ ents ; To the ones whose lives have ever been an inspiration and a benediction: To “Uncle Sam” and “Aunt Manie” This Narva Is Affectionately Dedicated. FOREWORD The time has come when, once more you may see, Unfolding here before the sight of men, The long-expected Narva—named of old From a great Indian chief zc ' ho roamed the plains. The, purpose of this zvork is knozun to all, For here are seen the viezvs of all your friends, Whom in your college days you came to knozv; The zvritten records of the year’s events, Which, one by one, took place around the walls Of the old college home you’ve grozvn to love. But ’tis not of the present that we thi nk, But of the days to come, the future years, When you are weary, far azvay from home, And long once more to be among your friends. Then you may turn your footsteps to the place Where there is laid this Narva; and zvith joy Once more you’ll turn the leaves—yellowed zvith age, And, like a man encompassed b a dream, Dim figures shall arise from off the page; The path zvhere once you zvalked—the zvords you spoke, The happy crozvd zvliom you once called your ozvn, And for zvhose honor you then pledged your faith. And in the midst of all your loneliness, Fond memory will come to ease your pain, And through the pages of this little book You’ll live the happy days at Park again. CARSON C.

From use it will have suffered, When with time it has finished its row, As we look the Narva over, Some fifteen years from now. The cuts will be all old-fashioned, The styles will be out of date, “A homely bunch of students,” You will think, at any rate. The dresses, you ' ll say, are funny, And are worn you know not how, As you look the Narva over, Some fifteen years from now. As we turn the faded pages, Our college life will be seen, As we lived it on the campus In the year of old T5. The spirit of old Park College Will still show on every brow, As we look the Narva over, Some fifteen years from now. to (Tome Again we will see the faces Of loved ones far away ; Again we will think of all their work In this broad world to-day; Sweet memories will overwhelm us, That we thought gone, alas! Till we look the Narva over, When fifteen years have past. In our mind we’ll see a picture Of the campus as it looked On that bright June-day morning, When Park College we forsook; • The flowers were all a-bloomingf. And the trees with leaves did bow, And the Narva will remind us Some fifteen years from now. But though we look rather funny, And the styles are queer and old, May our love for old Park College Be as true as burnished gold; And as through life we travel, Let’s a little time allow, And look the Narva over, Some fifteen years from now. Ol)£ (Hass of 1915 Just as the last straying beams of the setting sun smile on the waiting earth at the close of a radiant clay, so the mellow rays of a nearly completed college course are spreading about the Seniors of Park-1915. We hear the call summoning us to come out farther and eagerly we smile back that we will come. Yet we realize with a feel¬ ing of sadness that soon we will belong to Park no more. It was in the fall of 1911 that we first invaded Park: eighty-three jolly, carefree Freshmen. We wore no green caps for none were needed. We were the “greenest of the green,” but soon we became the despair of the faculty and the terror of the Sophs. The latter part of the year was saddened by the sudden death of “class spirit” from an acute attack of the faculty; although the remains were dutifully buried yet the spirit has persistently haunted us during the past three years. From this wild and irrespons¬ ible childhood we were suddenly and cruelly thrust into a place of great prominence, where life acquired a more serious meaning. We became Sophomores and the “wisest of the wise”; the boys became renowned for their class scrapping and were given the dignified name of “Mud-hens,” while the girls, because of their fondness for long walks, were dubbed the “Hikereens.” During the next year we saw little of our friends as we tore madly between our rooms and the library. We were Juniors and the “Busiest of the Busy.” Our trust} note-books became our constant companions and we were very ready to agree that “much study is a weariness unto the flesh.” At last we are Seniors and the “Solemnest of the Solemn.” We have been very busy maintaining our dig¬ nity but have taken time to gather in many of the pleas¬ ures and honors of college life. So fifty-two of us have come down the college years, seven all the way from the first year of the Academy. Now at the close of our col¬ lege course we may draw the bonds of friendship more closely about us and dream of the happy days of the past, and of the future, when our Park friendships will be dei¬ fied by time and sweetened by loving memory. russell McFarland.

On last Monday morning, the oc¬ cupants of Copley and Mackay were aroused by a loud noise, which seemed to come from the vicinity of the college chapel. Most of the students were too terrified to venture forth, but one who was bolder than the rest cautiously approached the chapel and discovered that a band practice was going on. Between a chorus of threats and curses, a shrill voice broke forth and Ray Peeke was heard to say: “Well, Professor, I couldn ' t help making the mistake; a fly lit on my music and I played him, top,” IMPORTANT CHANGE IN POLICY. Stylus Staff Makes New Innovation. Rumors have been often cir¬ culated on the campus to the effect that the Park College Stylus, as at present conducted, is entirely too large a publication. Not only does it take up too much of the student’s time to read it, but the forests are be¬ ing robbed to furnish paper; as we heartily agree with our orator, Mr. Orr. that we should do all in our power to aid in the conservation of our natural resources, we have de¬ cided that this organ of public opinion shall hereafter be limited to the size of the Park College Record. Thus the Stylus is once more in advance of all competitors in adopting the pro¬ gressive measures of the time. “The hen stood on the river’s brink and gave her college cry, Until a frog in ' pained surprise polite¬ ly asked her, why? Said she, kind sir, behold that duck out there upon the water? Well, that ' s a winning college crew, and I’m her Alma Mater.” ANSWERS TO CORRESPOND¬ ENCE. Dear Stylus: “What is the oldest piece of furniture in the world?”— Boss Nichols. Dear Boss: The multiplication table. Dear Stylus: “Being out of funds, how can I make both ends meet? — Si Evans. Dear Si: We advise you to try a diet of beef tongue and ox-tail soup. Dear Stylus: “In order that I may Free. satisfy Prof. Wells ' curiosity, please tell me what a polygon is? — “Bones. Dear “Bones”: According to the best of our knowledge and belief, a polygon is a dead parrot. “They stood beside the meadow-bars, beneath the twinkling sky; Far up above, the evening stars, like diamonds shone on high; They stood knee-deep in clover, but whispered not of vows, As silently they lingered there, two peaceful Jersey cows. “Gone are the friends whom once I knew, those friends of olden days, I thought at least some would be true, but parted are our ways; All, all have gone, save one. that shows how constancy endears. My watch, it never, never goes, it hasn ' t gone for years.” Tubby Blanchard has a bad case of the blues on account of falling into a tub of the same down at the laundry. Said a cannibal chief to his brother one day, Eating grass widows, I ' m sure, does not pay, For they ' re not only tough and hard on the fire, But they give me hay-fever, or I am a liar.

J. H. LAWRENCE, Honorary Member Ol)e Cvent of tl e J res man Nearly all college students agree that the Freshman year is the most enjoyable of one ' s whole college course. To the Park student this is especially true. Everything is new and strange; the wooded hills around Falling Springs charm the many who have come from the Western Plains. Even the studies are a somewhat new experience and Greek derivatives assume a significance which in later years seems unexplainable. But among the pleasures of the Freshman y ear, the “war with the Sophomores must not be overlooked. Such a system of rivalry can be ex plained on no logical basis. The average Freshman comes to college with perfectly peaceful intentions and with no malicious designs on his fellow creatures; yet he is not slow to learn the ways of the world and act accordingly. For ' custom, that relentless arbiter of human destiny, has decreed that from October until March there shall be a series of barrel-rushes, mid¬ night “tie-ups , and athletic contests; a system which finally reaches its culmination in the long expected inter-class debate. To the mind of the Freshman, a place on this debat¬ ing team constitutes one of the greatest of school honors, and there is always the keen¬ est rivalry to determine who the fortunate individuals .shall be. Either by a class election or by a series of eliminating contests, the three boys are selected who are to represent the class. Then the work be¬ gins. “Authorities”, “data”, and “bibliographies” become subjects of common interest. As the eventful day draws near, there are numerous dis¬ cussions and drills with that most obliging person, Pro¬ fessor Lawrence, who gives so much of his time toward the development of Park’s debating teams. On the day of the debate the air is tense with rival¬ ry; the early riser may see the colors of the contending classes streaming from the Mackay tower. Numerous dummies, fearfully and wonderfully attired, hang limply from telephone poles and third-story windows and tell by their labels of the class they are intended to represent. Preceded by such attractions, the hour at last arrives. The chapel platform is gayly decorated with the colors of the rival classes. On one side of the platform are the Sophomore debaters, somewhat impatiently waiting for the signal to commence; on the other side are the Freshmen, very nervous over their first public appearance yet eager for an opportunity to show their merit. One after an¬ other, the speakers are announced ; wits clash against wits; “ Ol)e iDiar? of 2 :30 A. M.

Finally, all twelve speeches have been given and an expectant hush settles over the audience. Professor Lawrence advances to the front of the plat¬ form. opens and unfolds the ballots which have been handed to him and announces “There are three votes for one side and two for the other”. A tense sigh passes over the en¬ tire audience. “And the three votes are for the affirma¬ tive.” And another Freshman-Sophomore debate passes into historv. a Jfresl)man ’ 9:38-10.30 See 8:35-9:35. 10:31-11:30 Prepares for chapel. 11:40-12:05 Morning nap. 12:05-12.30 “Wonder when dinner will be ready?” 12:30-12:40 Irish delicacies. 12:40-12:50 More spuds. 1 :30-5 :30 Recites lessons well prepared for the day. 5 :30-7:30 Supper; social hour. 7 :31 -7 :32 Study Hour. 7:31-9:30 “42.” 9:30-10:00 Water fight. 11:00 Dreams peacefully of a well spent day. before tl)e JFootUgfyts Life is a walking shadow—a poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is seen no more.” So says Shakespeare and he may be right but one sure thing he was not referring to Park College play¬ ers. Of course not. ‘‘Pinafore.” and “The Nautical Knot.” These comedies are given with a finish and cleverness that afford more en¬ joyment and entertainment than an ordinary circus would to a six-year-old boy. For weeks after the eventful night snatches of song may still be heard and witty speeches re- A desire for development along dramatic lines has led to the presentation each year of a musical and dra¬ matic production by the literary organizations of the col¬ lege. Lowell and Lucerne clubs have furnished the musical entertainments, producing operet tas such as The Mikado,’ peated. Parchevard and Calliopean societies have presented Shakespearean plays each year with extraordinary success and credit to themselves. Last year Orion and Aurora gave The Rivals.” Months before the night of the performance, rehears- als begin and from that time until the fateful night, there is nothing else on many a mind but a maddening jumble of directions, inflections, gesticulations and the patient re¬ iterations of the trainer, “Speak the speech I pray you, as I pronounce it unto you. But strange to say it is not the really creditable acting that is longest remembered by the players or audience, but the unexpected incidents which come up without warning. The false beard which falls off just as the player is trying to be most impressive; the pseudo forest which collapses at a sudden gust of wind or the cornstarched locks which lose half their white¬ ness when Malvolio shakes his head in a fit of dramatic rage. Half of the fun connected with the plays is enacted behind the scenes totally unknown to the audience. The sad predicament of a “No. 40 man trying to squeeze into a 34 coat is usually remedied bv the time the curtain rises but for the moment it causes untold sorrow to the un¬ happy mortal who tries to do the squeezing. When one considers the costumes which some of the players must wear it is little wonder that there is any acting done at all. Fancy the chagrin of a player arrayed in fancy pink tights when he realizes for the first time that not only does blood t ell—but bow-legs as well. Those who take part in these plays never forget the part they have taken though it be ever so small. Singing, speaking, acting—it is all essential to their self development and they enter into it whole heartedly. Even though the old system has changed and the literary organizations no longer pre¬ sent the numbers, it will still be essentially the same. Now the college as a whole has charge of the plays. L ri¬ der the direction of Professor Lawrence a cast is chosen from the college which will present the Shakespearean play, while Professor McCarty will have charge of the song birds who give the musical entertainment.

College SEPTEMBER How Time Flies 1. ell, here I am at last. Everyone said it was a good idea to keep a diary while in college, so I thought I d begin. My, there are a lot of people on this campus and e eryone knows everyone else except me. There was a big reception here tonight. Had to have it up in a big building on the hill, because it was too rainy to have it on the lawn. 1 his must ibe a big school; I guess I must have been introduced to about 100 professors. Say! They know how ito make good punch here. John Appleby told me he d show me how to get all we wanted, be¬ cause he knows all the girls and can work them; I drank pretty near a gallon. Lots of pretty girls here. Maybe I ' ll stay. 2. Had to register today. Got conditions in Latin to make up; shucks! I never could understand that language. Reported for work and then had to walk clear out to the orchard and then didn ' t get to do anything because a fellow named Paxton said he was the only one who knew how to tend trees; wish I was a Junior. Had to draw out books this afternoon. Sav! the Freshman class is sure a large one, and pretty girls! oh, mv! Met a dark haired girl who said she was from lexas; I told her I had a cousin who used to live in Texas. Think I got in good there. 3. Classes began today; and chapel. I bought a ticket for chapel but when, I tried to gi e it to the fellow at the door, he said to give it to the Dean as he always Punched them. Got me a strap to carry all my books in; Freshmeni must study harder than other people, for they are the only ones who seem to carry any books. I ' m in classes with that dark haired girl. 4. I’m beginning to think that people at home didn ' t appreciate me. I’m sure a big fellow here; the fellows just flock into my room in the evenings, and I can’t be¬ gin to study. Jacobs asked me to come up to a feed in his room after ten, and after he had gone a boy named Torrence came in to tell me that he just had a box from home and it was too much for him to eat and wouldn’t I help him out? ell, of course, I said 1 would and after he had gone, an Irishman named Frizelle came in and told so many jokes that I nearly busted myself laughing. Guess I must have a striking personality—the way people like me. All the old boys on the campus went of! and had feeds and wouldn ' t let us Fresh¬ men in on them. It ' s all because of some rules they made about what they call “rushing. ' There are three boy’s societies on the campus. Far as I can find out, each one is better than the rest. Don’t see why they’re such tightwads about letting us in on their feeds. They aren ' t going to rush us for ten weeks, they say. Anyway, I got part of all the feeds. Three fellows came into my room after eleven to bring me some, and when they saw each other, my, but they did look sheepish; said something about the Sunday School lesson. institution in tfye School” As I stepped off the “three forty-two” train on one hot . September day, I found myself in the midst of a noisy, good-natured crowd of college boys. Almost be¬ fore I had touched the platform, 1 heard the strange words “New Freshman?” and upon my giving an affirm¬ ative reply, the same voice said, “Let me take your suit¬ case”. Without giving me time to object, I was guided through the crowd and started on my college education. I p, up, before me rose terrace after terrace and by the time I had ascended to the brown stone building which my obliging friend had called “Mackay”, I was hot and tired, and painfully conscious that the umbrella which I had carried was strangely out of place. Having giv¬ en up my name, my religious preference and a work¬ ing majority of my financial assets, I was assigned to spend my term of office in “Copley 20”, wherever that might be; still accompanied by my faithful friend, I start¬ ed for my destination. On the way my new friend told me that “A bunch of us are going to have a little feed tomorrow night and wouldn ' t you like to come?” My guardian visited me at frequent intervals and on the next evening I was fed on chicken and chicken and more chicken; then there were songs and yells and I began to realize that I was certainly being treated well, to say the least. A few days later, although I did not know it at the time, I made the most important step of my college days, for I “signed up” as the saying goes; in other words I promised to join the society that was to af¬ fect every school activity with which I came in contact. About a week later came the announcement of “Freshman class election” and true to party spirit I voted with my new brothers for “one of the bunch.” Open Session occurred shortly after and for the first time I became aware of the close bonds of friendship which joined our sister organization to us. 1 here followed in close succession the various events which make college life worth while. In October came my first Hill Day”, when the dreamy haze of Indian summer hung over the gorgeous oaks and walnuts; amid such a romantic atmosphere is it any wonder that I de¬ veloped my first “case?” Of course she was one of “the crowd”, for I had discovered that the age-long trait of human loyalty was still at work, and woe to the per¬ son who follows false prophets and associates w ith the worshippers of strange gods. So the months passed by—full of the pleasures of college life. Inter-society debates, uninteresting in them¬ selves, became pregnant with meaning because of the is¬ sues involved. I came to know the feeling of utter desolation which followed a defeat and the joy of belong¬ ing to the winning side. Personal feelings were forgotten but party loyalty became of preeminent importance. One day, almost before I realized the fact, I sud¬ denly found that the whole year had passed and that I had become a Sophomore. And now the passing years have made me a Senior. Looking back over the years, I find that my knowledge of trigonometrical functions is rather indistinct and that the old saying that a matter is “All Greek to me is once more a grim reality, but the friend¬ ships which were made in my Freshman year are still as dear to my memory as on that eventful day when I be¬ came a member of the “best organization in the school”. -Aurora (Hub ' First Term Second Term Third Term President.Loren Wightman Zella Dorton Edith Light ice-President.tdith Light Lela Shearer Dora Lee Roberts Secretary.Doris Jones Kittie Moss Effie Moss tensor.Zella Dorton Doris Jones Lucinda Bridgland Loren Wightman Alice Knight Bessie Johnson Leila Johnson Effie Moss Frances Bowles Marietta Chandler Dora Lee Roberts Louise Worthington Grace Hinshaw Juanita Denny Hazel Hillman Kittie Moss Elsie Holden Ova Duncan Clara Berry Hermina Ruigh Edith Light Veda Singleton Helen Dodds Callie Wright Erma Currin Alice Piper Lela Shearer Doris Jones Zella Dorton Lucinda Bridgland PHOTO?

College Continued OFF FOR THE WOODS—FOURTH OF JULY 6. Didn’t go to church today because I didn’t know where it was. Some one told me afterwards it was in the same place where they have chapel. 7. Lots of Y. W. girls came back from Estes Park today. One of them sits at my table; all she talks about is “Colo¬ rado”. Say, it is queer not to have school on Monday. The girls had their societies tonight and came and sang to the boys from the hill. Then the boys went out and yelled to them. My, but it sounded fine. 8. Back to study again. This Latin gets my goat. Wish Cicero had never been introduced to Cataline. “Si” Evans told me he’d get me a pony tomorrow, so maybe it will be easier. 9. The Juniors elected their officers today. They made a blond fellow named Braden president, and a tall girl named Mary Mac vice president. Guess they must have more 10 . 11 . 12 . 13. 14. 15. 16 . 17. 18. Daps girls than boys in the class because a Miss Hollyman is Secretary and a Miss Kisling is chaplain. Kept social hour tonight; guess I’ll do it every night. A fellow came around and told me that I oughtn’t to let my studies interfere with my social obligations so he took me up to a place they call Mount Zion. Those girls fell for me right away. Guess I’ll ask Ruth Wyatt for a date next time. Seniors elected officers tonight. Heard Si Evans and Dilly talking out in the hall and went out to see what was the matter. They nominated a fellow they call “Rum-Dum” for president and Olive Shedd got up and moved the polls be closed. Must have been awful funny to hear those boys laugh. Too sleepy to write. All the college boys have gone to their clubs and “nobody loves me tonight.” Went to Sunday School today; a fellow named Bradford told me we had the same seats we had in chapel. Well I went in there and sat down and pretty soon some girls came in. They looked at me sort of funny and then sat down there too; I thought that was funny but I wasn’t going to be marked absent. By and by a girl who goes with a fellow named Stevenson came over and asked me if I had a Sunday School class; I said. “No, but this is my seat.” She said she’d find a class for me and she did. But all the girls seemed to be laughing at me; wonder what was the matter. Cold and chilly; wish I was home. Freshmen elected officers tonight. We made a big fellow named Sharp president and decided we’d whip the Sophs in debate and the Juniors in ' basketball and make the Sen¬ iors notice us instead of ignoring us as they do. Prof, and Mrs. Lawrence are our honorary members. Tried to study but went to sleep instead. Prof. Wells sent me from class today because I was late; you have to hurry for him. The Freshmen and Sophomore committee met to see about a barrel rolling. The Sophs don’t want us to use all our men because there are more of us; I don’t see why they fuss when they have two great big six-footers like Peeke and Covert Brown; they’re afraid of us. 3ntex-(Tolle iat£ debates Park vs. Emporia, Parkville.

JOHN BARLEYCORN. Park College has been a member of the Missouri Inter- Collegiate Association since the re-organization in 1911. It has been customary to hold an annual convention and oratorical contest each year, and since 1911 Park has been hostess twice. Two days, March 15th and 16th, were given over to this con¬ vention and representatives from eight out of the eleven col¬ leges in the association were present. Among the convention speakers were Rev. E. L. Williams, the “Fighting Parson’’ of Chicago; Mr. Harry S. Warner, Gen¬ eral Secretary and Treasurer of the I. P. A., and Mr. H. P. Paris of Clinton, Mo. Provision was made for the entertain¬ ment of 150 delegates; the people of the village having gener¬ ously arranged for both lodging and meals of most of the dele¬ gates. March 15th was devoted to conferences, business sessions and committee meetings. In the evening a delightful banquet was spread for the convention by the Park Y. W. C. A. During the day officers were chosen for the coming year and Mr. A. C. Klamm, ’16, of Park, was elected president of the association. Possibly the most interesting feature of the entire conven¬ tion was the oratorical contest held the evening of March 16. Eight colleges were represented in the college. The produc¬ tions were of the usual quality and various and interesting- phases of the prohoibition movement were covered. Seventy dollars in prizes were given and the first prize of $40.00 went to a Park man, Joy Listrom, T5. Second place was won by Wil¬ liam Jewell, and third by Missouri University. Park College is justly proud of her record in these contests; since 1911 she has won four first places and one second in the inter-collegate and in 1914 she won second place in the inter-state. The Prohibition Association is doing a great work in the state and our college is honored in having a part in it. The liquor traffic is fast losing its power and the time is not far dis¬ tant when it will be entirely defeated. A year ago 37 per cent of the population of Missouri lived in dry territory, now the statistics show a much greater per cent. The colleges are do¬ ing much to drive out the saloons and it has been well said, “As go the colleges today, so goes the nation tomorrow.” Col¬ lege men and women are the ones who are most influential in literature and platform fighting and Park College has proved her standing already. When the Hobson Amendment was submit¬ ted to Congress it was found that eleven congressmen from Missouri had voted in favor of it and Perl Decker of Park’s class of ’97, was among those eleven. When men of this type get behind a measure and push it is sure to go and go quickly. (Tollege JDa?s. Continued Too tired to write much. The Sophs, beat us in the barrel-rolling contest. They wouldn’t let us use all our men. Guess there is about as much left of us on the field as ever got hack to Copley. Simpson lost a tooth but he went hack and found it. Si Evans’ Sunday School class had a picnic and took all the good look¬ ing Freshman girls; they ought to leave our girls alone. Sunday School and church. Wrote a letter home. Freshman prayer meeting; church again; I’m sleepy. Lucerne gave a reception for all the Freshman girls tonight. Ihe girls talked about it all day. One of the girls wouldn’t come down to meals because she had her hair on curlers; the reception was over at Stevenson’s; I heard them talking about the swell decorations they had; the Lowells went over and yelled and ate ice cream. It began to pour about 9:30 and the girl’s dresses would have been ruined if the boys hadn’t found them all some umbrellas. The Juniors and Seniors both had feeds today. The Juniors made the girls mark up; Braden had to take three girls ' but he said he liked it. Five of the Senior boys came out in gray sweaters with red in them. Kept social hour tonight with a girl at New Dorm; her name’s Elva Means. “Jake” hasn’t been around to see me since. The Y. W. C. A. had a reception today for new members; about all the Fresh¬ man girls must have joined because I couldn’t get any of them to keep social hour with me. If I don’t hear from home before long, I’ll have to leave this place. Heard them talking at the dinner table about the big feed the Calliopeans in¬ tended to give the Freshmen. Thought of course I must be invited so I dressed up for the doings and went up on the Hill. There weren’t any other boys there so I climbed up in a tree to listen. All the girls ate ice cream and sang and toasted marshmallows till I went to sleep and nearly fell out of the tree. When I woke up nearly everybody had gone and the Parchevards had come up and eaten all that was left of the sandwiches and salad. Y. M. and Y. W. had a reception on the lawn for the new members. They had a boy’s octet a nd a girl’s quartette and Maud Colville said, “See what somebody did?” and then everybody turned and looked at Si Evans. They gave out a lot of handbooks with some rules for us Freshmen. Went out to company supper with Harry Brown; Listrom asked me to try out for the Glee Club; maybe I can help them out. 1 e K (BtrU’ (Blee (Hub Row the First: Zella Dorton Eloise Brodbeck Meta Oelfke Gertrude Wolfe Hortense Salsbury Row the Second: Olive Shedd Jettie Engel Edna Artz Laura Johnson Row the Third : Alice Knight Lulu Culbertson Chaddie Bremner Ella Taylor Loren Wightman Frances Wolfe -park- Cawrence an6 Prof. O.

I V w oung women orking together in hristian fellowship for the ttainment of their mutual ideals. This is the end toward which the Park College Y. W. C. A. works that the women of the institution may be united in loyalty to Jesus Christ, that they may be led to accept Him as their personal Saviour; that, through Bible and Mission study and through Christian service, they may be built up in the knowledge of Him and that their charac¬ ter and conduct may be consonant with their belief; thus associating them with the students of the world for the ad¬ vancement of the Kingdom of God. In working toward this end, through its manifold op¬ portunities, the active work of the Association has neces¬ sarily become quite varied and active work has and is being done along all lines of service. The present membership is about one hundred and twenty, and of this number a large percentage are actively engaged in committee work along various lines. This year, under the efficient leadership of Miss Ella Taylor, and her able assistant, Miss Eva Wil¬ liams, has seen splendid progress in the history of the As¬ sociation and the religious meetings under the charge of Miss Meta Oelfke have been a source of great help and in¬ spiration to the entire organization. And under and through it all has been evident the never failing, ever help¬ ful thoughtfulness of its advisor, Mrs. Wilson. THE VALUE OF THE Y. M. C. A. The Young Men’s Christian Association has come to form a vital factor in the college life of America. An American college without such an association would be a remarkable though not an enviable institution. In Park, the need of such an instution is especially marked. On account of the absence of inter-collegiate re¬ lations there naturally grew up an intense feeling of rivalry between the college literary organizations. The fact that a person happened to be a Lowell or a Parchecard was suf¬ ficient to cut him off from active friendship with those of opposite affiliations. The Y. M. C. A. has done much to remedy this condition of afairs. Through its ef¬ forts, each man in the student body has been brought into a close personal touch with his companions until now there exists a commendable spirit of goodfellow- ship. Throughout the year the Y. M. C. A. has taken up many enterprises tending to create a better spirit among the members of the student body. Athletic contests have been arranged with visiting teams, various forms of enter¬ tainment have been given, and slowly but surely, the love of the association and the ideals which it represents have been firmly imbedded in the hearts of the students of Park College. ONE UNWAVERING AIM. The possession of a definite aim in life is an almost unknown quantity among the majority of college students. Up until the Senior year, the most of mortals are content to drift on the tide,” ready to seize the straw which seems Thus it has come about that forty Park students have voluntarily promised to do all in their power to fit them¬ selves for work in the foreign field. “I ' ll go where You want me to go has become a watchword to them all and most ready to render them a livelihood. Not so with the one who is glad to be known as a “Student Volunteer.” To such a person there is always something to look for¬ ward to; something which does not offer wealth or power, but greater still, an opportunity to serve the interests of his fellow men. when the time comes for them to receive their diplomas they will not be compelled to grope blindly into the future, but will be ready to take up the work for which they have been training for so many years. At tt)e U ' four The hour nears twelve; the chapel dark Is filled with many a bustling throng: And forth there comes a hearty cheer, And rises up a pealing song. The old piano strikes its note, The rostrum then is filled with teachers. And down in front Park students sit, And listen to the chapel speakers. I’ve heard the tale of many a one Who stood upon the self-same place: And talked or sang the song of life. And strove the true ideals to trace. I ' ve often heard of those who came From foreign lands and sunnier climes. To bring the message of the soul. And strike the spirit of the times. The older students tell of days When Ezra Meeker came to Park; The pioneer who laid the trail That led across the prairies dark - And in his ox cart once again, He came to mark the old-time way, And told in chapel of the trials Which he endured in that dark day. From out of darkest Africa, Dan Crawford came with words so strange That all the place at once grew still. And men thought over all life ' s change. From old Korea came McCune, Frank Bible, too, told of the cost Of searching out the Chinese souls, And helping rescue all the lost. of toon Champ Clark, the man who “nearly ran,” Once came to grace our college walks. And in his gruff, outspoken way. He gave the heartiest of talks. Some still recall the far-off day When Bryan was received with cheers. The memory of that great event Comes down through all the pass¬ ing years. Dick Newell’s always welcomed back, We like the optimistic note In which he tells the old, old. tale Of which the ancient prophets spoke. Dad Elliott impressed the men With simple truths of righteous life. And left a thought, earnest plea, To aid each person in the strife. So, as the years glide swiftly by. The changing tide of speakers pass: Bach with his message, whose im¬ press In future years, they hope, will last. And in the months to come, as we Hook hack to these old college days. We ' ll still remember, still rejoice, At chapel speakers and their ways. 3n tl)e Jhel6 of -Action Park College Alumni are a most interesting people. Not all of the 850 living are celebrities or world- renowned yet, but a goodly num¬ ber have already won honor to themselves and Park. Some few, like the ugly duckling, have sur¬ prised even their loyal mother by their brilliant powers, which in school days were hidden even to her eyes, and which then showed but little promise. Like the great oaks which from little acorns grow —students need time to develop. It would be an interesting story were we to tell of the changes needed to turn a raw Freshman boy into a skillful surgeon or an awkward, bashful girl into a grace¬ ful, cultured woman. Park is but a step in that progress, but she is a vital one. Looking back to the time when Park and her children were young, we cannot close our eyes to the mira¬ cles which changed the youth of yesterday into men and women of whom their country and college are proud. O Temporal O mores I Naturally the ministry has claimed many of Park’s men, but it needs men like Templeton, ’88, Caughey, ’93, Mason, ’95, Salsbury, ’96, Rourke, ’98, Hepburn, ’99, Newell, ’04, and many others, to lead the churches of our country. These are men of keen insight, wise judgment, and above all a rare good humor and interest in the brotherhood of man. To the field of medicine, Park has given of her best. Some may not realize that as Superintendent of the Kansas GEO. E. NEWELL, D. D. City Hospital, Dr. George Pipkin, ’99, is regarded as an au¬ thority on hospital management and all matters pertaining to hospital affairs. In addition, Dr. Pipkin is an authority on small pox and all c ontagious diseases. The Kansas City HON. PERL DECKER. Hospital is one of the largest and best equipped in the country. But not alone in the States are Park men practicing medicine, but the Meyer brothers in Ketchikan, Alaska, have already proven that there are successful physicians elsewhere. The success they have ob¬ tained is but indicative of the work they are doing. Perl Decker needs no introduction to those interested in our country ' s poli¬ tics. In school, Decker showed remark¬ able talent along oratorical lines and was even then called a “Booth or a Demosthenes.” Leaving Park in ’97, he took his law course at Kansas Universi¬ ty and after a few years of successful legal practice was made a member of Congress. Though young in years, Mr. Decker is causing many of the older members of the House to look to their laurels, as for instance in a recent news¬ paper article he was spoken of as “the silver-tongued orator from Missouri.” Park men are influenced in education¬ al work as well. Professor John M. Gillette, ’92, Head of the Department of Sociology in the University of North Dakota, is making an enviable record for himself and his university. Pro¬ fessor Gillette is not only the author of several books and pamphlets on soci¬ ology, but he is in great demand as a public speaker on such sub¬ jects. In McCormick Seminary, Dr. Cleland B. McAfee, ’84, holds the chair of Didactic and Polemic Theology, and, though busy with this work, he finds time for many outside calls and much writing. The University of Pennsylvania has as its Professor of Finance, Dr. E. M. Patterson, ’02, a man already prominent for his articles on Finance and his ability as a professor, and authority on sub¬ jects of present day interest. These, as well as many other Park men, are leading in educa¬ tional work. Park has several authors al¬ ready well known to American EDWIN H. ZION. readers, but few with such rare promise as Dr. Gerrit Verkuyl, ’01. Dr. Verkuyl is educational superintendent of the Pres¬ byterian Board of Publication and Sab¬ bath School work. Of Holland descent, he has made this blood tell in the wonder¬ ful work he is doing. He is an inde¬ fatigable worker, with a brilliant mind, and besides is a great traveler, covering much territory in his campaigns throughout the country. As a writer he is at his best and Park awaits witn pleasure his greater career. George S. Robbins, ' 03, at present sporting editor of the Chicago Daily News, has been the greatest surprise of all. In school Mr. Robbins was a studi¬ ous, unassuming young man, seemingly little interested in athletics, but like the worm he turned and has developed into a first-class fan, and not only devotes his time to baseball notes, but has writ¬ ten the “Life and Mat Battles of Frank Gotch,” and other books on modern American sports. We cannot ignore the Park women— they, too, have won laurels, but the work they have done and are doing is of a quieter tone. They are the mothers of America, the teachers of the youth, and the wives and sisters of the min¬ isters, physicians and orators of whom the world is hearing. Park women have made and are still making a place for themselves in the hearts and lives of those with whom they come in contact. The mission field has claimed many of the noblest and best, as well as the other work, and it is with joy and gratitude that we can claim them as Alumnae of Park. Ol) 2 . Iftnowtree J amilp “Let ' s have rhe-torcals!” “All right; how’d you do it?” “Oh, just stand up and say a piece what you know about anything.” “I know; let’s ask the teacher to let us have ’em for our composition in school.” Bill, aged ten, and Virginia, aged eight, were the pride of Mr. and Mrs. Knowtree. True, there was also a son, Ted, and a daughter, Elizabeth, who were “attending college.” These older branches of the Knowtree family scattered many of the productive seeds into the minds of the two younger precocious sprigs. Furthermore, Mr. Knowtree owned a limousine, a coupe, was a director of the bank, an elder in the biggest church in Sportshome-on-Missip, kept two servants, a chauffeur, a bull pup and a golf caddy. Consequently when Bill suggest¬ ed to the young teacher, Miss Timidgood, that they “have rhe¬ torical like Ted and Elizabeth,” it followed as night the day that rhetoricals would be held. So that evening when Mr. and Mrs. Knowtree were enjoy¬ ing a bridge party, during which they fell off and nearly drowned, the hopefuls compiled their masterpieces to be given the following day. As luck would have it, young Professor Snobrow of Wisekum was visiting the schools of Sportshome- on-Missip. He strode augustly into the room of the blushing Miss Timidgood, gazed at her condescendingly through his ul¬ tra-shining glasses and spoke ' breezily. She gave him a chair, hardly knowing whether to continue the exercise or to plunge the room into a study period. But she knew all too well, that Bill would remark without holding up his hand that he hadn’t read “his” yet, so she said, “William, you may come forward and give us your rhetori¬ cal production.” So Bill, with considerable ostentation for his years, began “The Cow.” “The cow gives milk. It is a great inventor. She swatted the fly with her tail and ever since somebody’s always selling fly-swatters ’cause we don t have any tails. They make them out of screen and fix it on a stick. Last summer I got the ten dollar prize for swattin’ the most; why, I swatted about fifty million, I guess, and put ’em in a box, only I put dirt in first. But the cow was what started it first unless it was the horse. I don’t often see horse-flies but lots of just flies.” Miss Timidgood generally considered the Knowtree family her Rubicon that had to be crossed, so she called on Virginia next. Virginia, starched and ruffled, tripped up to the front of the room. McCORMICK CHAPEL. “Mine’s about “Man. “Man sprang from the beast; Ala said our Principal, Crab¬ tree. was a beast: and Ma said that women sprang farther than men did. Some men is fools; Pa said Mr. Bashfulot was one for not marrying our teacher who is so sweet. Some men is sticks; Ala said our preacher is, for she said he is dry enough to start a fire without any match. Pa said the preacher was right about man not living on bread alone cause Deacon Resist- none drinks like a fish. Ma said that teaching school is no man s job; it ' s a lady ' s. And if Willie don ' t quit making faces at me he won’t ever be a man like my papa. Just then the recess-bell, Heaven-sent deliverer, rang, and Aliss Timidgood, who had turned most of the shades of the Superb Dye during the exercise, hastily gave orders for lines to form. As Professor Snobrow had to move his chair to make way for the children he took occasion to bow himself abruptly from the room. The next noon at finger bowl time, Airs. Knowtree pro¬ duced an epistle from her daughter, Elizabeth. Airs. Knowtree was somewhat “put out”, because the dinner had not been good, as Bridget was “all in” since the previous day had been her afternoon “out”. Only a letter from her daughter could pro¬ voke the saintly smile that now decked her face. She read aloud: “Dearest Alamma: , , . , , . , , “O, that you could be young again and drink from the fount of knowledge in this wonderful institution of learning! It is superlatively grand! Every morning as I start to my classes I feel that I am in pursuit of a worthy quest. I played tennis with Percy yesterday and 1 go to the dance with him tomorrow night; my yellow satin is a vision. Poor Percy! I have already a mental dictograph record of what he will say after the Dream¬ land glide.” . , “Oh, Air. Knowtree,” sighed his better halt, that s lovely. Don ' t you think, dear, that you had better arrange with the publishers about printing Elizabeth’s books as she edits mem, for I am sure that she was cut out for a literary genius ' “Wait a minute, my dear,” said the head of the family. “I just received a note from my son. Ned Junior. He’s getting along fine. too. He says he got Seventy-five in two subjects mirabile dictu: what kind are they? O, well, I’ll read part. “ ‘Say, Dad, you can step in the spot-light here easier than in a ten-cent vaudeville. Honest, I’ve got the society column of Sportshome beaten fifty holes; you see. Dad, I got my name put up in a little frame in the hall at school—sort of previous epitaph, so to speak—because I flunked in three of my sub¬ jects. Say, Dad, I’ve worn out my pen, lost my Bible and need a stack of note-books. Could you let me have twenty-five by return mail?’ “Now, Jane, that is good. ‘Last night the fellows gave me a baker’s dozen for rough-housing; but take it from me I neier turned tail. I took the dope and never piped.’ “Well, I’m glad the boy’s quit smoking even if he does have to dope a little. Listen to the boy now: ‘Sure have some pretty chickens here, Dad; sit still, my heart—But they keep them in a chicken yard and the other night I got an awful peck when I reached through the fence. Es thut mir leid to tell you.’ “Well, well, Jane, I tell you, it is a real pleasure to get a letter like that and to know that my son is doing as I would do if I were in college.” Truly the Knowtree family was a wonderful mechanism. Airs. Knowtree gazed at her yuong sprigs who sat listening so attentively. She expiated at length on the ancient family of Knowtree and its glorious future. She was basking in the sun¬ light of Bill ' s attentive gaze when he said thoughtfully, “Gee, Ala, but your mouth would make a dandy fly-catcher. THE SPOON HOLDER. ytt? College iDaps Continued OCTOBER 1. Have been here just a month today. Seems like a year, though and am beginning to feel that I belong here: it’s awfully cold for October. Thought it was always warm in Missouri. 2. Had meeting after supper and elected a fellow named Mc- Corkle president of the student body, which they say is the biggest office in the school. I didn ' t know him from the other fellow that was put up so I voted for both of them so as not to be partial. 3. Nothing doing much. Cut Math, today. Wonder how much you can do that before they fire you? Heard that Miss Williams went on an auto trip with August yesterday, had a fine time. 4. My, but you have to go to church a lot here! Sat up in the gallery with a fellow named Everds; he said he wasn’t much stuck on the girls here, onlv one or two. 5. Went to a ball game between the Lowells and Parche- vards this afternoon. Believe I’ll try out for baseball. Could show some of the fellows around here a few things if I had the luck I had in high school. Tonight I went to hear the Old Home Singers at the chapel. Orr tried to make me get a date but I wouldn’t do it. A bunch of girls all came together and sat in the front row. Some¬ body said they were the “U. J.s”; I wonder if that means “You Jays?” 6. Cold again today. 7. Had another meeting of everybody at the chapel tonight. John Meyer was elected vice president of the student bod ' : I know him pretty well. THE CUBS _ • DICK ROGERS. 8. Rained. 9. Went to the city today; a boy tried to tell me that I had to get a chaperon but be couldn’t stuff me; I saw a Prof, on the train but he didn’t seem to know me. 10. Cut chapel today; Boss,Nichols found out that I went to the city yesterday and docked me five hours for not get- ing his permission; a little later he said he wouldn ' t dock me this time because I didn’t know any better. 14. Sunday again. Wrote a big letter home and then added a postscript telling them I needed some money; I didn’t let them know that I spent all my cash in the city the other day. 12. Talked to a girl in the hall today for about five minutes. She said that she was going to an Aurora party at Find¬ lay’s tonight. 13. Was late to breakfast this morning so I didn’t get to go in. Gee, I got hungry; thought I would never pull through until noon. Even the goulash tasted good; never did like corn until I came here; sure have some appetite nowadays; must be the weather. 14. Nothing doing. 15. Some bunch had a party on the top floor of the Alumni building tonight; sure did make some racket; I went up afterwards but there wasn’t anything left to eat. 16. Recited in Trig, today! 17. Sent home for some more money today. I owe two dollars to Jim Ward. 18. Slept nearly all day except that I got up in time for all my meals. 19. We beat in the ball game today, 7-3; sure some game. I didn’t get to play after all but we won anyway. 20. Went to a debate tonight between the Parchevards and the Lowells. Each side tried to see which could yell the loud¬ est; sure was exciting. 1 hey sang a song about What makes the wild cat wild, Bill?” The Lowells beat 3-2. 21 Got a date for tomorrow—Hill Day. Our class is going in a bunch. i V STEVE CARTER. PARCHEVARD QUARTETTE. 22. Sure am tired; its all over. WE went out northwest of town; started about one thirty. Walked about a mile and a half. Prof, and Mrs. Lawrence chaperoned us; some time! Forgot what all we had to eat but it was some feed; I rode back on the wagon with the chaperones and some of the kids. M. D. is sure some go-getter. 23. Still tired. Everybody’s tired today. 24. Nothing doing today. Good speaker in chapel 25. Got invited over to Dr. Wolfe’s for dinner today with two other Freshies. Got enough to eat to last me a week. 26. Jake invited me to a feed in his room tonight; got another bid hut couldn ' t go to both of them at once. Met a lot of upper classmen in Jake’s room; they seem to like me real well; I told them all about my base ball record. 27. I worked with Ralph McElhinney today and got acquainted with him better. I heard someone say the other day that he was the most perfect gentleman on the campus and I believe it’s so. 28. Have to study for a Greek test tomorrow. 29. Got a box from home today; wife and I ate most of it; somebody swiped the rest; think we have the guy spotted. 30. Went to a Hallowe’en party at Sunset tonight; sure had some time. 31. Last day of the month. Time sure flies; visited Low¬ ell Club tonight; made quite a hit with them, anyway they flocked around me; told them about my base ball record. NOVEMBER 1. Ella, Hucky, Rum-dum and Olive visited Swope Park today. They said they wanted to see the wild ducks hut someway the couples got separated. 2. First time the Freshman girls were allowed to visit the societies. It’s funny to watch how nice the up¬ per classmen are to the Freshman girls now. 3. Appleby, Listrom, Dillener, McClure, Blevins and Hathaway were the lucky ones to get on the Prohib¬ ition Oratorical which comes off in a few weeks. 4. Had a test in Latin today and I know I flunked, O Temporal O Mores! 5. The Board of Trustees are here today; ’nuf said. This afternoon the wives of the ' board held a re¬ ception for all the girls of the college in the new waiting room; it was in honor of Mrs. Lawrence who furnished the room. Say, it’s a beauty—-all in light green and tan, with pretty rugs. 6. T he Y. W. girls had a hobo hike out in the woods and they surely looked the part; carried their supper in a handkerchief tied on the end of a stick. 7. Another week over; went up to Lowell Club to visit tonight; good program. Some Academy boys ap¬ peared on the campus wearing red and green caps with the word “Cub” on them; someone told me they belonged in Emerson’s Sunday School class. 8. Walked down from prayer meeting with Amy Sandt. I’m going every Sunday now. Our Sunday School class had a picnic today and I took Vera Caldwell. I hear the Lucernes on the hill now, giving the call for their new officers; guess Olive Peterson must be the new president. 9. 10. Girl’s work changed today; wish the hoy’s did; I’m tired of the general force. 11. Prof. Wells has gone to a teacher ' s association and Mary McReynolds taught our Trig class today; I am going to study for tomorrow for I think she admires an intellectual man. 12. Tired. Was up almost all night trying to put out the fire at Nickel. All the kitchen and dining room burned down before we could stop it; Bradford discovered the fire as he was coming home from work at the light plant, Mildred Douglas rescued a package of dye and Mercy Shawhan a pillow. 13. Still trying to catch up with my sleep. 14. B. Kisling’s Sister Blanche, was on the campus last night and so was Ted Lentz, last year’s orator; they were here for a Parchevard and Calliopean feed upon the hill. Went up to Orion tonight; fine bunch of fellows there. 15. The Freshmen entertained the Sophomores with a musi¬ cal program in prayer meeting tonight. 16 I’m writing this in a room in the Alumni building and 1 m going to sleep here tonight; I broke in the door, I was so desperate. For the last twenty-four hours I haven t had a minute to myself and if I hear the words Lowell, Orion, or Parchevard again I shall take chloroform and trust to my previous record for a chance in the hereafter. I m getting to think that if a girl smiles at me she is trying to rush me. 17. Well—it’s all over; they found me in the Alumni building. I bolted the door against the fellows as long as 1 could but they put the invitations under the door; and now that I have signed up I feel like a new man; it makes you fee like a returning hero when all the girls rush up and tell you how glad they are. Sure do like my new sisters., But the girls at my table hardly speak to me now; I don t see why ' “signing up” should make such a difference. 18 I’ve had to take a tuck in my cap. Yesterday I was a ‘ A FRESHMAN,” today I’m just “a freshman and whew, but there’s a difference. It’s been forcibly impressed upon me that not only are there three classes above me m the college but that T know as little as a boy possibly could to get along in the world. Wish I’d kept them guessing a little longer. 19. Glee Club made a trip to the citv for the John Jay dinner. 20 The Prohibition Oratorical came off tonight; Listrom won first place, Blevins second. I’m going to try out next year. ?i I went to the city today to see Hamlet. Almost all the fellows took girls but after I had been turned down twice I decided to go alone and be a bachelor. 22. Regular Sunday schedule. 23. All the societies had open session tonight. All. the pro¬ grams were fine; Orion-Aurora gave a dramatization of the Holy Grail; Parchevard and Calliopean gave part of an operetta called “Priscilla,” while Lowell and Lucerene had a varied musical program; all three served chocolate: sampled all three but ours was the best. I’ve learned all our yells now. 24. Couldn’t go to school today; drank too much cocoa, 1 guess. 25. About everyone but me is going home for vacation; if I could get there before time to get back I d try walking. MUTT AND JEFFESS 26. Thanksgiving day and the best Fve ever spent; Dick New¬ ell spoke in chapel: then we had the big dinner, mixed with toasts, speeches and music. Couldn’t get a date in the evening so 1 went with Sexton and Glick; Prof. Magers talked about his trip abroad. Glad I went and 1 could appreciate it all the more because there was no silly girl along to interrupt. 27. Can hardly hear myself think; the “Handy-Andys” are just getting back from an all day’s picnic out at Klamm’s. A Junior named Jimmie Graham is back on the campus today. 28. Y. M. and Y. W. had a party tonight. Glad I went; I pulled taffy with Mildred Hollyman and she let me take her home. The architect who put Snyder near the Alumni building ought to be hung. 29. All the classes held a joint prayer meeting in the chapel today with Jeff as leader. 30. Talk about side shows at a circus. The costumes of the girls who were initiated into the societies today could beat any of those; some of them had to wear their dresses backward, others shoes on the wrong feet; Elva Means had to ask everyone if Jake didn’t have beautiful eyes; I wonder if she likes my eyes. DECEMBER 1. Same old program every day; get up, breakfast, family work, library, chapel, dinner, then school, five straight periods every day, supper, then hang around till bed time, which is any time between eight and one. 2. Hang! My name is posted on the bulletin board among the list Oif poor and failing students. For only three sub¬ jects, however. Some of the Freshies were down for everything. Me for boning now. 3. Twenty days now till Christmas. Guess I’ve got to stick it out here. 4. Nothing doing. 5. Prof. Hutchison stuck us for a Latin test. Forgot to bone. Went to see “The Cavaliers” at the chapel tonight. Was fairly good; they dolled up for the last stunt and we got some grand opera. 6. Read all afternoon in the library; didn’t write home. Led prayer meeting. San g a lot of songs. ANDRION DEBATING TEAM FISHERMAN BRCWN 7. Nothing doing—did or done. 8. Harry Jewett Oratorical Contest tonight. Mighty close; Andy Orr got first and will represent Park in the state contest. 9. First snow today. 10. Board meeting; no school. Prof. Magers talked right out loud in the library today but we daren’t whisper hardly. So much for prestige. 11. Boned on Latin. 12. Was called up on the carpet and was scared to death till I found out that all they wanted was to know about an en¬ trance condition. Was sure they had heard about that chicken feed in the root house. 13. Wonder how the home folks are. Hope we’ll have a good time here C hristmas. Keep thinking of the folks. 14. Still thinking. 15. Gee the snow is great. Went coasting over by Sunset. Had a great time. 16. Coasted again tonight. 17. Ditto. 18. Ditto. 19. Just five days till vacation. Gee I wish time wouldn’t drag so. Hope we have a good time these holidays. 20. Told the folks what I wanted for Christmas. Emphasized the eats. Guess I’ll get enuf to eat once anv way. 21. Some guys have left already for home. Gee! 22. More home seekers gone. 23. School let out at noon. 3:42 train was packed and more left at 6:30. Pretty quiet here tonight. 24. All the dormitories except New Dorm and Snyder are closed. 1 changed my hoarding place to Snyder. Was coasting over by Sunset. Nancy was coasting with Austin Wolfe when he got his lip all cut up and Nancy, they say, made more noise than he did. They’re hanging stockings at home. 25. Christmas Day. A pretty jolly crowd. Had a big dinner and a program afterwards. General social hour till 9 ;45, played Miller Boy, Pig in the Parlor, Jinks Up, etc. Pop¬ ped corn and came home and had another feed. Am full for once. 26. Feel like the day after. Met some Alumni today—a Miss “Bobby” Barber and Ruth Laughlin. 27. Tired still. Slept all day; didn’t have to go to church. 28. Went to lecture on “Germany” tonight by Prof. Magers. Was illustrated and real good. 29. !We all had a candy pull tonight and a circus at it too. Played all the old games we knew and I guess everyone had a good time of it. 30. Vacation will be over just as the fun is getting a good start. Kept social hour tonight. The quarter bell rang almost half an hour before time I know, though the ma¬ tron said it was later than usual. 31. Is to be a watch party tonight and eats. JANUARY 1. Got my New Year ' s resolutions all outlined; I shall keep this one iif I forget all the others: “Resolved, that I will not let any girls keep me from my lessons.” Ella and Royal have been walking around today like two people in a dream. 2. Kept social hour with Hazel McCall; just wait until school begins and then I ' ll sure enough kee my resolutions. 3. Had resolved to go to church every time but the last week has been too strenuous. Wait till school begins. 4. It ' s beginni ng to look like old times; I feel like giving a yell. Flossie Woodward brought back eight boxes oi candy and found one from one of the professors waiting for her here. 5. Ruth Schloh got a, diamond for Christmas. 6. So did Loren Wightman. 7. So did Hazel McAllister; and I thought she was an Acad¬ emy girl! 8. If it wasn ' t for getting lessons I ' d like to go to school, but what s the use, with a Biology note-book staring you in the face? 9. Can’t write “nuthin’ ”, That book’s still staring. 10. I ' d be glad to get my note-book up, but I don ' t like to study on Sunday. 11. Can ' t help thinking what a mistake those Freshmen made by not putting me on the debate preliminaries; guess they don’t know what a fine record I made in High School. 12. Went to Freshmen preliminaries: lasted from 4:00 until 6:30; Filson, Paul Wolfe and Flamson got on and they are sure going to beat the Sophomores; Parchevard defeated Orion in debate; the subject was labor-unions. 13. Cut school today to work on my note-book. Sent over to the dorm for my dinner and the girls thought I was sick and sent me an egg and milk-toast. 15. Forgot to write last night; had a date with Gene Hunt and couldn’t think of anything else all evening. This after¬ noon the Sophs had their preliminaries and White, Blevins and Shetler won. Got a check from home. 16. Went to the city today to spend my money and came hack with Ella Taylor; she seemed very happy and told me about a feed the Taylor girls were to give for Irene’s birthday; I swallowed it all; found out afterwards it was to annaunce Ella’s engagement to Royal Hall. 17. Sunday. Cold. Church. Letters. 18. Cut work and spent the day in the library. Exam’s begin Thursday. 19. Too busy to write—EXAM’S Thursday. 20. English and math tomorrow—the log of the sine of the square root is equal to—? 21. English, passed; Math., hoping. 22. Biology, don’t know; Latin, FLUNKED. 23. Bible—(Well, Prof. Kerr is kind hearted; German—hum! I feel better now, no more school until Thursday. Was in the library today and heard Si Evans call Maud Colville on the telephone; seemed rather fussed. 24. Slept all day. 25. Senior girls had a party at Hortense Sals ' bury’s: they’re all making things for hope-boxes; Glee Club started on its trip today. 26. Aunt Mercy Brown entertained this evening and Jean Evans was invited and asked Evans McClure to go with her; she didn’t find out until supper time that he was in the hospital; she tried to fill his place and finally the rest of the crowd got a-hold of Dave Thomas as he was coming from work, so he called up and got a date and the day was saved. 27. So cold I nearly froze my nose. John G. Woolley spoke in chapel and told us to behave or he would have to act as a policeman. 28. Back to School again. No Latin, thank goodness! Prof. Hutchison said he couldn ' t teach me anything more about it; wonder what he meant. 29. Tables change. Didn’t draw out my books so I couldn’t go to class; moral: put off getting books as long as you can. 30 Nearly knocked my head open today falling on the ice up at New Dorm.; Dr. Wolfe took a fall on the way to chapel and got up looking as though he had lost his last friend; he had some ashes put on the incline right away; I wonder if that ' s what somebody meant when he wrote about sermons in stones. 31. Had a fine talk today; Mr. Hudson from K. C. spoke. Emerson told me today that he would like to have me write up something for the Stylus; I sure do like that man; he treats the Freshmen just as if they were his friends. FEBRUARY 1. Another flunking list was posted today. I was on the fool thing again. But I should worry. 2. Prof, and Mrs. Lawrence, our honorary members, gave a fine time to us tonight; we had a mighty novel form of entertainment—a sort of continuous train-ride; we paid our fare and bought our lunch with beans. Gee, we sure had some fine eats! 3. The day after! 4. Seniors had another show tonight at the Alumni; also another Senior announced an engagement. Linus Brown and Si Evans are about the only “eligibles now. 5. Dean ' Wilson talked to the men at chapel today; the girls always want to know what he tells us. 6. Glee Club gave a concert at Union Chapel tonight. 7. David Braden was elected president of the Y. M. C. A. today. No hopes for me in that line. 8. Double header basket-ball game today; Parchevard beat Orion 64-16 and Andrion beat the Philo Club 29-20. 9. I flunked in math, today and Prof. Wells said I needn’t come back until I knew something. 10. I didn ' t know anything today. 11. Day of prayer for colleges so we didn ' t have any school and it didn’t matter whether I knew anything or not. Dr. Rogers, of Kansas City, spoke in the morning about being a missionary to Persia. 12. It’s sure hard to go to school after you have had a day off; I believe I’d rather go to Persia. 13. At last! I got to keep social hour with Mildred Douglas; she read me some of the poems Charlie Anderson had writ¬ ten to her; I wonder if I could write poetry. 14. I wrote some today and sent it to Mildred—she said 1 could call her that if I wanted to. It went like this: Your hair is like the waving grain, Your teeth are like the shells of pearl, Your eyes are like the violets blue, I drink to you, O Nickel girl! 15. I got a note from Mrs. Webber today and she said if I wrote any more poetry to her girls she would report me to the Dean; she said I was entirely too sentimental. Parchevard beat Lowell in basket-ball tonight by a score of 44-27. 16. The Men’s Glee Club gave a concert tonight and it was fine; Prof. Guise went with Gene Hunt again; this is get¬ ting serious. 17. Nancy Love and Elva Means wore red roses today and it wasn’t Easter, either. 18. The Handy-Andy ' s were entertained at Dr. Wolfe’s to¬ night. Also I heard that they had some swell time. 19. I studied for half an hour on Math, tonight and played forty-two for the rest of the time. 20. Parchevard beat Independence in basket-ball tonight by the score of 62-15. 21. Dean Wilson preached in church today and told us that we were likely to be at war in a few days. 22. The Faculty entertained the Seniors tonight at a Wash¬ ington’s birthday party. No war here yet. 23. Another exciting ball game between Lowell and Parche¬ vard today. It was rough enough to be interesting; the Parchevards won, 45-21. 24. Ernest K. Coulter, the father of the “Big Brother Move¬ ment,” gave a fine talk in chapel today. 25. The Juniors had a party in the Alumni tonight; Skip-to-my- Lou must be a lively game! 26. Another Lyceum number tonight—the Recital Artists; some people thought it was the best number yet, but Glick said he couldn’t appreciate that kind of music after hearing Kansas City singers. 27. The Iris Club of Kansas City were beaten by the Y. M. C. A. team by the score of 48-9; some score! 28. I wish they would send me another box with a chicken in it; I’m hungry. MARCH 1. The Philos beat Leantikon in basket-ball and the boys were allowed to see the game! Susan Peeke is sure some player? We are going to tie up the Sophs tonight. 2. We tied up some of them, but the rest got away; this ought to show the Seniors and Juniors that we aren’t so slow, after all. Frizelle said he was sure loyal to the Freshmen, because he had a red nose and a black eye. The Sophs put their banner on Mackay, but believe me, it didn’t stay there long. And the Freshmen won the de¬ bate! I’ll repeat it—the Freshmen won, 3-2. Forgot to say that we sent Andy Orr off to Drury; we put him through the window in the train while the band played and everybody yelled. 3. Mr. Owens came up to call on B. Kisling and used so much of Mr. Graham’s perfume that you could smell him a mile. 4. Got fired from general force for eating too many apples; I don’t care; I’m working at a good place now—the print¬ ing office; Mr. Griffith is the superintendent and there are about twenty of us in the office; I helped get out the Record today and found out that it goes to over sixteen thousand people. 5. Y. W. C. A. elected their new officers tonight. Jeannie McRuer is the new president. She ought to be fine—she’s so pretty. 6. The Parchevard Glee Club and the Quartette gave an en¬ tertainment in chapel tonight; I got stung on a date again but I went anyway and had a fine time. Paul Smith gave the hit of the evening with a drill with Indian clubs with fire on the ends. 7. We have a preacher at last; Air. Bradley spoke in church today and everybody liked him. 8. The college basket-ball team beat North-East by a big score. I nearly ruined my voice yelling for our men. 9. The public school gave Little Boy Blue in chapel tonight. Saw Mildred Douglas there with Charlie Anderson. He wore that red necktie and those red socks that he has talked so much about. 10. Test in chemistry tomorrow; been drinking coffee to keep awake. 11. Too sleepy to write tonight. 12. Went past Paxton’s room tonight and heard a scrap going on; Paxton and Corny wanted to know which one a cer¬ tain girl liked the best, so they both wrote the same kind of notes and gave them to her at the same time, and then she turned them both down! Guess they must have been trying to take it out on each other. 13. Still chilly; wish spring would come. Air. Williams, of Chicago, spoke to us in church today; wish he was here oftener. 15. Prohibition convention delegates began to arrive tonight; they had a banquet but I didn ' t go. 16. Wow! Sis! Boom! Bah! Joy won the Prohibition orator¬ ical tonight; I had to study and didn ' t go out for the parade and the bunch came back and ducked me. It sure was cold but I don’t care for we get a half-holiday to¬ morrow. 17. I thought we wouldn’t have to go to work, so I slept over and got docked six hours for it. Everybody had to have their pictures taken for the Narva, so we got off an hour in the afternoon, too. 18. Mr. Hope, of Africa, spoke in chapel today. Pauline Teis says she’s going to be a suffragette and turned me down for a social hour date because I said woman’s place is in the home. 19. The girls are crazy over basket-ball now; Philo beat Lu¬ cerne and Calliopean defeated Leantikon tonight. 20. The All-Stars of Kansas City beat us in basket-ball to¬ night. 21. The day is cold and dark and dreary and I wish spring would come. 22. I’m getting tired of keeping a dairy; nothing to write about but basket-ball. Lucerne beat Philo tonight. 23. It snowed today; and I thought I’d soon be playing tennis. 24. Went to Sunset for company-supper. It’s fun to listen to Rose Ward giggle; I cracked all my funniest jokes just to hear her laugh. 25. We had a big celebration today for the Emporia debate which comes off tomorrow. Prof. Wilson told us we could have a holiday if we won and Jeff told us to get the brooms and nightshirts out for the big parade. I’m going this time. 26. We lost; no holiday; no parade. 27. Got a box from home today for my birthday. Sure have kept it dead for I don’t want to get a baker’s dozen. 28. Gee, but this place is beautiful when spring begins; that’s why I didn’t go to church today. 29. Band-Orchestra gave a peach of a concert tonight. I asked Gene Hunt for a date, but she said Prof. Guise had beaten my time. 31. The Freshmen aren t the only ones who don t know much, nine out of eighteen Juniors flunked in an Economics test. APRIL 1. April Fool! Prof. Findlay entertained the Juniors today at a Costume party; some of the boys went as coons, and others made fine girls. 2. Francis Picken, ex-’16, appeared at Snyder today; Hurley says he is going to lay low for a while. 3. Picnics are all the rage these days and tennis is beginning to pick up a little. 4. A fine Easter day; most of the boys sent flowers to the girls; I almost sent some to Gene Hunt, but I found out that she had two bunches anyway. 5. A fine day for tennis, ' but the most of the courts aren’t fixed up good yet, so it is pretty rough playing. 6. Parties continue—this time the Sophomores with an affair where everybody dressed up to represent the month in which they were born. Prof, and Mrs. Kerr were the hostesses. 7. Tried my hand at tennis this morning and let a girl beat me! I’m going to practice up before I play Mary Mac again. 8. We planned to have a picnic and bought all the dope and then it began to pour; Prof. Wilson let us go up in the Alumni building, but told us not to let it happen again! 9. Tables changed today and I am eating up at Mt. Zion; we had buttermilk for dinner; some class to that! I had a date to play tennis, but Prof. Hutchison was on the only good court all day so I could only stand and cuss. 10. Prof. Wilson has set aside all the land north of New Dorm for the girls to go walking in; it has been named the “Dear Park,” and all the fences around it painted yellow—the girls say that is in honor of woman suffrage. 11. J. Ross Stevenson, President of Princeton Theological Seminary, preached today and we had pineapple pie for dinner, so I had a pretty good time. 12. I’m in a pickle! I was out for a walk today and happened to see a girl over in the dear park and as I wanted to get a date for the debate tomorrow, I just stepped over the fence; we got to talking about things in general and be¬ fore I knew it Prof. Wilson came walking up and said, “Well, what are you doing here?” I didn’t know what to say and so he told me to come up to his office to¬ morrow. 13. When I went up to see him he looked at me a minute and then asked what I wanted. I told him I didn’t want any¬ thing, but all of a sudden he remembered and said, “Oh, yes;” and then he gave me a long talk about how he didn’t have anything against me, but that I had broken a rule of the school and that I must pay the penalty, so that I might be an example to the rest; he said I could come back next year and told me he would loan me twen¬ ty-four cents to go to Kansas City. 14. I was just wondering where I would get the money to go home on when somebody knocked and the Editor of the Narva came in; he said he had heard that I had been keep¬ ing a diary and wanted to know if they could print it; I’m going away so I didn’t care and I gathered it up and gave it to him. Just think, I am at last appreciated and soon everybody will know what a great author I am. Must pack my trunk now. 15. It is almost time for the train; my days at Park are almost over, but I’m coming back next year, and believe me! no dear parks for mine! w If 1 H ORION-AURORA HALL - $♦ ♦ j j «$ ' ♦ j ♦$ „j. ,$, .j« .t, � ♦. .� . ,j« .j, .j. .j. . 3 . .j..j. ♦« .j. .♦•� � j« «j. .j. � $. .j. •$. ■;■. .j. � j � j« � «j« ;• � j j« � � ► � j •$♦ � j� � � ;♦ � ;■� $ •}. «j. ;« � j« ;« •;« j j $♦ •$• � j $♦ j � j •$ � ;♦ j« -t ❖ ■ •� ♦ � 5 ■ � 4 ' THE HABERDASHERY I Omaha Theological Seminary | TLLS. ❖ £ OMAHA, NEBRASKA | Rev.
