I FREDERICK WILLIAM HAWLEY, A. M., D.D. MRS. FREDERICK WILLIAM HAWLE Oo Our president and fyis Pife wt o b ve come from U) £ Southland to dwell with us lovingly and sincerely dedicate Ot)is 3dook J orcward On the banks of the Missouri, Nestling on the sunny hilltops, Stands the college of our labor, Stands our loving Alma Mater. As the years roll round in progress Bringing always great good fortune, Write the scribes with fond remembrance In a book they call the “Narva” From a chief who ruled aforetimes,— Of the words and deeds and actions Of the people who are dwelling In the college on the hilltop. This a year of bounteous favor In the history of the college; This a time when all the people Shall look on and call it blessed- For one came from out Ihe southland As a leader here among us, Saw a vision of our future And made plans of great proportion. But one left us here in mourning For him,—loved among professors: Left us sorrowing, but wishing His success in distant countries. So as you, my gentle reader, Gaze and ponder at these pages, May you know and feel the greatness Of our loving Alma Mater. And as years from now you linger On the memories of past pleasures, Turn the leaves of 16’s Narva And call forth in dreamy vision Ghosts of friends and happy comrades Whom you knew and loved and cherishc l In this college on the hilltops. 1 MATTHEW H.

As tyrants fled when Freedom’s march began So flees the darkness from approaching day, And Night’s black shackles from the heart of man Fall feebly down before the sun’s first ray. The sky, which had a moment since been gray Blushes to see her lord come into view, And flies to meet him with a countenance gay While fond attendants in their pathway strew Roses of every shade, of every tone and hue. II. See where the mighty Potentates first beam Falls like a wand upon the hilltops green Then lights upon Missouri’s swirling stream Restoring life and beauty to the scene. The hills and wooded valleys in between Spread out their cloaks before their rulers’ feet And kneel beside the pathway of their Queen; And then to make the picture quite complete The white-sailed clouds go by, a slow, majestic fleet. at park i. When Day has drawn the mantle o’er her head And Twilight sinks into the Sea of Night, Missouri’s ribbon’d silver turns to lead Save where some star in golden livery dight Peers down to view his features with delight And leave his image on the silent wave; Or where the city’s brilliant shafts of light Diffuse upon the sands the waters lave A ruddy glow, and seek the eastern sky to pave. II. How dark thy flowing waters, and how few The stars that from the heavens upon thee shine; And mists all but conceal thee from the view Of him, who, worshipping at Evening’s shrine. Seeks to half-fathom all the beauties thine. Mysterious stream! What could thy jetted swell Disclose forest haunt, of sighing pine, Of ponderous mountain crag, or dreamy dell, If it could only speak, its history to tell.

Park Slogan for 1916—“Push Park’s Program of Progress.” Author of Slogan—Harry W. Brown. Class of 1916 Of course we won a debate when we were Freshmen, lost one when we were Sophomores, had a mud-fight with our opponents, the 15’s, and a scrap with the 17s. Of course the Faculty, from the first, recognized in us unusual scho rship and talent, originality and intellect. All such matters are to be taken for granted. As Freshmen we were once green, ignorant, bucolic and unsophisticated; and it is to be expected that as Seniors, we leave Park bereft of our verdant hues, our heads crammed with knowledge, our countenances radiating wisdom, our speech always that befitting the cultured;—for are we not suddenly in possession of the title, “College bred men and women?” Has there not been a marvelous transformation in us during the last four years? Has not every class since time began gone through similar experience of metamor¬ phosis? The world would be shocked did we not say we had done the same. There is no doubt in our minds that the Class of ’16 is the smartest, the biggest, the bravest, the strongest, the grandest, and altogether the most wonderful class that Park College has ever produced. Has not every Senior class suffered like honor? Now the time has come for us to leave our Alma Mater. As with others, so with us. We must forsake our familiar haunts and pathways, we must sever the ties of friendship which have so closely held us, we must pass out from under the influence of our teachers—men and women whom we have learned to love, and who have contributed so largely to the ideals which we now hold. We must say “Good-by to Park. We have lived the traditional Park College life. The atmosphere which we have breathed is the same which gave inspiration to George McCune, Frank Bible and Dick Newell, the influences about us the same which gave im¬ petus to our own Roy V. Magers, Howard Dean and J. Hamilton Lawrence. We too have imbibed a measure of that unseen but pow¬ erful thing known as the Park College Spirit, and as we scatter to the far places of the earth, it is our desire that we may still follow the traditions of this institution and bring naught save honor to its name.

And lo! the Rulers of the College, grave body of men called Faculty, beheld their return with great joy and, after prolonged consultation and profound meditation, dubbed them the Children of Erudition (which being interpreted is Juniors) because they sought learning; and they approved of their high ideals and excellent behavior. And the Children of Erudition met together and chose rulers and behold, when the autumn air was tinged with frost, and when the first leaves began to fall, the Head Ruler, Boney, did summon a council and they did plan a feast, to be held on the hill-top. And the Grand Advisor of the Children of Erudition, Professor Kerr and his Noble Assistants, Mrs. Kerr and Elizabeth, did merrily chaperon the excursion. And then a great fire was builded and when the odor of coffee filled the air with its aroma, they did roast wienies and eat and drink the beverage. And it came to pass that on the same night the Children of Brilliance, (which is interpreted Sophomores), in imita¬ tion, attempted to have a feed on the hill close by the Chil¬ dren of Erudition, but lo! in the very midst of their revel¬ ing, they were viciously attacked by the great band, called Children of Ignorance (which is interpreted Freshmen). Then the leaders lifted up their voices and called to the Children of Erudition “let us go over and make sure that the scrap is a fair one,’’ and they did go over quietly and with great dignity but did not consider it needful to put a quietus to the fray, for the maidens, with intuitive in¬ stinct, passed judgment, saying that the fight was due to the super-energy of youth which would ere long be quenched by the cold realization of life. And now, in the late winter, the Grand Advisor left and Professor Magers was chosen to take his place and Mrs. Magers did consent to assist in the arduous task of advising. And the Children of Erudition met at the home of Professor Magers in order that they might show their gratitude to Professor Kerr for his kind guidance and that at the same time they might welcome their new Advisors. But the greatest achievement of the year came to pass when the Children of Erudition entertained the Children of All Knowledge (which is interpreted Seniors) at a grea+: banquet—the memory of which will ever remain and shall be handed down in the annals of the history of the College. And before summer vacation began the Children of Eru¬ dition again repaired to the hill-ton and held another feast and the Children of Ignorance and the Children of Brilliance And these are a few of the events which have come to pass in the third sojourn of the Children of Erudition in the Famed Institution of Learning, known from old as Park College. were required to remain in their rooms and the Children of All Knowledge were not invited.

Wiley Society tftotes The social phase of life is by no means a neglected part of the education of Park College students. Many are the opportunities given for development that makes a pleasant life. The annual Shakespearian Play is always an event of interest and is pre¬ sented under the direction of the Eng¬ lish Department. In May, 1915, “The Comedy of Errors” was presented to a full house and the play was a splendid success. Every member of the cast did his or her part well and the entire per¬ formance was carried out with the ease that usually only professionals can assume. The Junior-Senior banquet that same month was the crowning event of the Senior’s year. The banquet hall of Alumni Building was transformed into a flowery bower and a well-served and excellent repast, interspersed with toasts, musical numbers and responses by class members and honorary mem¬ bers made the event one of beauty and enjoyment. The opening event of the present academic year was the reception to new students, given by the faculty and Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. The true essence of the “Park Spirit” made the evening one of happy reunion and new acquaint¬ ance for both old and new students and began a happy year. The Board of Trustees, the faculty, alumni, superintendents and friends were the guests at a banquet given the new President, Dr. Hawley, when he ap¬ peared on the campus for the first time. It was an event that will linger long in the memor y of those who were privi¬ leged to take part. The banquet was planned and served by Miss Thompson and her Junior class in home econo¬ mics. Speeches were made by board members, members of the faculty, alumni and by the new President him¬ self. It was a time of happiness and joy for all, for the long-looked-for and long-wished-for moment had come and Park again had a President. On December the first Dr. Hawley came to the campus to remain and take up the active duties of his office and as one of the first events of welcome came the students’ reception. Every¬ one came and all enjoyed themselves. Dr. Hawley and his wife entered at once into the hearts of the students and before the evening was over with its program and refreshments we were all as old friends. At the close the first semester we were called together by the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. to say goodby to our beloved Professor and Mrs. Kerr, who with their small daughter, Elizabeth, were leaving for another field of labor in the far state of California. As we entered through the “Golden Gate” we saw on one side the Parkville home of the Kerrs and their friends and on the other the California home of those so soon to leave us. A splendid program of appreciation, closing in an appropriate manner with the presentation of a lov¬ ing cup from Park’s Y. M. and Y. W. C. A., together with refreshments and hearty good wishes that all had the honored guests, in some measure hid the sorrow that all felt over the part¬ ing as soon to come. The annual faculty-senior reception took place this year on the fourteenth of February and the party was truly a “Hearty” one. Hearts were every¬ where, even in the games and the re¬ freshments. Many were the hearts that were given away and some were even lost but the Seniors are so near the end of their college course that they did not seem to care, so everyone had a splendid time. The annual band and orchestra con¬ cert, under the direction of Professor Rader was enjoyed by an appreciative audience. The Glee Club Home Concert was one of the finest that the college has enjoyed in several years and the beauty of the decorations and the success of the program made the event one of the most enjoyable events of the present year. The German Play, “Minna Von Barn- helm” under the direction of Professor Sanders, was a new annual event and though not all the audience could un¬ derstand all the lines the caste was so efficient and the work done so splen¬ did that the large audience in attend¬ ance pronounced it a decided success. Park’s “Four Hundred” is not ready even yet, however, to close the year, as there are still some important events to take place in their social world. Notable among these are: The May Fete, to be given on May First by the three College Girls’ Liter¬ ary organizations is an innovation for Park and we are hoping that it will become an annual event. On the evening of May second will be presented the operetta “The Lost Neck¬ lace” as the annual concert of the Women’s Glee Club. The story will be prettily portrayed by Spanish Maidens, Gypsies and an American Heiress, traveling with her father in Spain. “Midsummer Night’s Dream” is the play chosen for presentation by the English Department and the actual setting of woods in the open air in ad¬ dition to the splendid troupe of players selected will give the production an added note of reality and beauty. The Seniors will be entertained by the Juniors in their annual banquet late in the month and that, together with the annual Glee Club banquet will close the 1915-16 social season.

Whenever there is an occasion that demands enthusiasm the band is there to give it; whenever a team goes away for oratory or debate the band is the predominant factor in conveying the Park College Spirit to its representatives. The Band is at present under the direction of Prof. O. Claude Rader and his assistant, Ray Peeke. The organization was established in the late nineties and among the men who have successfully directed it are Mr. Merle Thorpe, Dr. Samuel L. McAfee and Mr. Paul H. McAfee, but behind these men and their ability we would not forget to mention the kind help and material assistance of our generous bene¬ factors, Mr. and Mrs. George A. Lawrence, of Galesburg, Illinois. Significant among the bands successes this year was the trip to Platte City, where it played at the First Annual Platte County Corn Show, held in Platte City on November twenty-ninth and thirtieth, 1915. Reports seem to indicate that the Band was one of the popular features of the fair and the boys are looking forward to like trips next year. The student body is proud of its band and under the efficient leadership of Professor Rader a yet larger and better company can be developed from its present promising personnel. program prof.

It is the only means of advertisement which the college employs and is ever in demand to sing at the various college functions. The present Men’s Glee Club was organized in the fall of 1895 by Professor Ernest McAfee, then chaplain of the college. Its first appearance was made the next spring and since that time it has held a prominent place in all college life. To be one of its members is considered a great honor. During the many years since 1895 the Club has had few directors. Professors A. D. Wolfe, H. A. Dean and C. C. Guise have all served as leaders of this organization. However, Professor Roy V. Magers has been the director for nearly eleven years and to him belongs the credit for its present success. Under his inspiring leadership the Club has made successful ap¬ pearance both here and in many Missouri and Kansas towns. The big event in its history, however, was a trip to California five years ago for the Santa Fe Railway. This year has been one of unusual difficulty because of sickness and heavy school duties, yet every one has gotten to work with a vim and today we have one of the finest clubs that has been heard for years. The Club furnished music at the annual ‘‘John Jay Dinner” of the Kansas City Commercial Club on November 19th and were royally entertained at the Hotel Mue- hlebach. On January 17th a benefit concert was given at the Linwood Boulevard Church to an audience of over three hundred. On January 22nd the Club left Park- ville for St. Joseph where they gave a concert in the Westminster Presbyterian Church, singing at both services on the following Sunday. The boys were royally entertained in the homes of the congregation and will not soon forget the good times spend there, due to the kindness of Mrs. Elliott and her Sunday-school class of young ladies. Monday the Club went to Maysville and there the Park Glee Club basket-ball team made their first appearance, defeating for the first time this season, the Mays¬ ville High School team. In the evening the Club sang to a crowded opera house and was pronounced the finest crowd of fellows that have ever struck that town. On Tuesday the Club came to Kansas City, Kansas, where the last concert of the trip was given and that evening, tired but happy, the boys reached Copley Hall to the tune of “Home Sweet Home.” Other concerts have been given at Weston, Missouri, Effingham, Kansas, Ham¬ ilton, Missouri, Breckenridge, Missouri, and Highland, Kansas, the former home of Professor and Mrs. Magers, where Professor Magers was for several years President of Highland University. At all these places and at the Home Concert, the Club rendered splendid programs and met with hearty responses in appreciation thereof. The annual banquet of the club will close the season.

This year the Park Young Women’s Christian Association has come more fully than ever into that prominent place of influence it purposes to fill in a college girl’s life. The membership includes practically all of the girls on the campus and the committee work has been so divided that at some time, opportunity is given to all for active service. The Y. W. C. A. has been undertaking big things this year in school activities and has had extraordinary success. The realization that the As¬ sociation is endeavoring to develop character and to lead the girls into a closer and more vital relationship with their master has taken precedence over all club and society limitations and a commendable spirit of unity and co-operation has resulted. Much of the credit for this is due our President, Jeannie McRuer. By her untiring efforts and devotion to the Association she has been an inspiration and ideal to others. Supporting her has been the cabinet, under the efficient leadership of the cabinet advisor, Mrs. M. H. Wilson. To her the Association owes its deepest appreciation for the loving sacrifice of time and energy she has made in keeping Park’s Y. W. C. A. in its enviable place of influence and in making this truly our “year of Jubilee.” y. yit. c. One of the unifying and helpful influences in the lives of Park men is the Young Men’s Christian Association. The policy of the Association under Mr. Braden’s leadership has been one of aggression for the kingdom of God. A well organized campaign for new members at the beginning of the school year brought in about eighty percent of the college and academy men. The weekly meetings which are held immediately after breakfast on Sunday morning have been an inspirtion to all. At nearly every meeting there has been open discussion of campus problems and matters concerning the Christian life of the student. Looking back over the year we can see among others one thing of special value that the Association has accomplished beside the uplift of its members,—that is, the work of the extension committee, with Chauncey Brown as chairman. Al¬ though hampered by lack of time, distance and poor roads, students have done much toward upholding the Christian ideal in the community by preaching and teaching in the six small churches and chapels within a six-mile radius and organizing the boys of the town into Boy Scout Squads. Last fall the coming of Raymond Robbins, who with “Jack” Childs, held a voca¬ tional conference, gave wonderful impetus to the student Christian activities by turn¬ ing many to a higher path and helping many others to choose their life work. In the co-operation of men of all types to accomplish the task set for the As¬ sociation there has been the finest Christian fellowship and every man that has had a task to do has been blessed in the doing of it. PARKS VOLUNTEER BAND. Stu6ert Volunteer ! an6 Scattered over all the earth are Park men and women, carrying on in the dark corners the Master’s business, that men and women ever ywhere may receive the Saviour’s message. The begining of that work is at home and in the Volunteer Band of Park College many have been brought face to face with the call of the master and have responded with a consecrated life. The Band has long been part of the institution. This year probably the largest membership in its history has been recorded. At the close of last year from a band of forty members twenty received their diplomas and passed on to other fields of labor. At the beginning of the present year the membership numbered twenty and during the year twenty-seven have been added making the total membership forty- seven. The loss at commencement this year will not be large and the Band is look¬ ing forward to the coming year when its numbers and labors and influence shall be even greater than in the year just drawing to a close. D ' fonte Mtission tftan.6 For several years Park College has been without any definite and systematic study of Home Missions. This year the call for workers in our homeland has been brought to the students in a very forceful way by many chapel speakers and by Miss Abbie Upham, one of the field secretaries, and by Miss Isabel Laughlin, the student secretary of the Woman’s Board of Home and Foreign Missions. A group of girls desiring to become workers in the Home Mission field banded together, forming a Home Mission Circle. This band corresponds in many ways to the Student Volunteer Band. These girls, twelve in number, have pledged themselves to help in every possible way the spreading of the gospel of Christianity to all the peoples of the United States. Two Sunday afternoons out of each month the band has met and learned about the different fields and their needs. It is the purpose of this group of girls to establish a permanent band of Home Missions here on the campus and many plans are being worked out for the coming year. To Mrs. Samuel McAfee this organization owes much for her kindness in pro¬ viding suitable literature and for her helpful presence at the meetings from time to time. FREDERICK WILLIAM HAWLEY, D. D.. The chapel was filled with an eager exciting crowd of students and town friends. The clock on Mackay tower was just striking eleven although the lazy hands lacked two full minutes of being in their rightful place. Not so with the Copley boys and Snyder maidens. On the previous Sunday they may have slept over until nine o’clock and arrived in Sunday school to see the “What a pity” sign staring them in the face. Then again they may have arrived at Monday morning breakfast just in time to “homeward plod their weary way” because of a locked door. But today everyone was on hand. Curiosity, it is said, once killed a.cat, and it was now doing its most deadly work on the assembled throng. For everyone knew that something intangible, indefinite, but at least SOMETHING was about to happen. A few of the wise ones nodded their heads sagely, whispered “I know” and made rash guesses which varied from the impossible to the ridiculous. But at last one, wiser than the rest, noticed that several of the “Profs” were waiting at the station for the “eleven o’clock” and acting on this clue a crowd streamed down to the depot. At the chapel the morning had been spent in placing flowers and vines around the platform and in draping Uncle Sam’s “Old Glory” at the back of the stage. The dignitaries, having arrived from the train, entered the chapel and made their way slowly to the platform, making room for a tall, man with a direct, kindly bearing which at once appealed to every one. And then the story was out. For unto us had come a President in the person of Frederick A. Hawley D. D., former presi¬ dent of Henry Kendall College of Tulsa, Oklahoma. It was an imposing scene with every person rising in a pledge of loyalty to the new leader. Since that memorable day a new spirit has arisen, a spirit of co-operation and a conscious desire for the promotion of the best interests of “Old Park.” Mtrs. Clla Jp ar Cawrertca “Our Park College Mother”—this is the true title of her who for so many years has been the friend of the thousands of young men and women who have passed within the shadow of the walls of the wonderful college home which her father, Colonel Park, together with Rev. John A. McAfee, D. D., founded upon these hills in the midst of a wild Indian country—this institution which has been the only means of an education to those who had not the wherewithal to go elsewhere. The first board of trustees, formed in 1879, had on its roll of membership the name of Ella L. Park. Forty years have come and gone and one by one the faithful members dropped away until today the name of Mrs. Ella Park Lawrence upon the present board roll is the only name of an original member of that original board. To this one woman time has doubtless flown on fleeting wings but not too fast to bring with it many wonderful gifts given out of the fullness of the love of a mother heart for her children. The gifts that have come from that bounteous hand are too numerous to mention here. The corners of the earth today praise her for the work she has done in so largely making possible useful lives by the help that she has given here. Students, faculty and board alike know well the generosity and loving heart of Mrs. Lawrence. In every instance of pressing need she has never faltered, but true to the traditions of Park and its founders has stood ready with help on every hand. The betterment of the whole campus with its student life has been her goal, One of her latest gifts is the plot of ground and a magnificent sum of money to be immediately expended in building for the College President home befitting that office Only a short time ago the hearts of teachers and students were gladdened by t generous shipment of books that were added to the College libraiy, the gift of Mr and Mrs. Lawrence. The Park-Lawrence Band, since its founding, has known again and again the aid that was an absolute necessity to make a thorough success, and every organizatfon upon the campus connected with student life, has reason to add a word of thanksgiving that they too have been included in the gifts that have been s° freely ' ° d - then that we s0 love our mother and that she sits high in the hearts of her thousands of children who from every clime rise up and call her blessed. Chas. R. Brokaw and Homer B. Mann CHARLES L. BROKAW Mare intimately connected with the life of the College than most of us reaize and more instrumental in carrying out the plans of the founders of the mst.tut.on i„ „ faithful band of men, known as the board of trustees of Park College. Though constantly changing in personnel, the purpose and spirit of that body has remained constant and through failure and success it has successfully piloted the fortune our beloved c° years , here appears pro mine„tly in the records of the board the name of Charles L. Brokaw, a well known banker and business man of Kansas C tv Kansas At the annual June meeting in 1904 Mr. Brokaw was elected to the board and at the same time elected to succeed the former treasurer of the institu- .. M AKprmthv This position Mr. Brokaw held until the early part of 1907. 5n ApHl of tJat ar Ms re ' sTgnation was accepted as treasurer of Park College th0Ug B„ h t e oni two“years was again specially honored. This time, in 1909? he was elected president of the board of trustees. Only those Charles L. Brokaw Homer B. Mann intimately connected with the history of the college know anything of the duties and responsibilities that come to the man who holds this office. His personal attention must be given to practically everything that in any way concerns the board. Mr. Brokaw for five years filled this office with credit to himself and honor to the board and to the college and it was with great regret that his resignation had to be accepted in February of this year, for students, faculty and board alike had learned to Iqvq and depend upon the man who felt that it was imperative that he lay down this phase of the work of this time. But resignation from the presidency of the board does not mean resignation from the board, and Mr. Brokaw will continue to work for the good of the school. Though the students have had no opportunity to know him personally, he is regarded as a true benefactor of all and the name of Charles L. Brokaw means much to the students and alumni of the college. HOMER B. MANN Proximity to the two Kansas Cities has always been counted one of the assets of Park College and from Greater Kansas City have been drawn many of the mem¬ bers of the board of trustees. In 1910 there was elected to this board a man who ever since his election has taken a particularly active part in the work of that body. The name of Homer B. Mann is one that means much in the work and records of the board. Since his election Mr. Mann has always put Park College among the foremost of his important interests. When the resignation of Mr. Brokaw came early this year Mr. Mann was un¬ animously elected to succeed him as president of the board and all are satisfied that a splendid leader has come forward to take the work done by the former president. Mr. Mann is well aware of the duties and responsibilties that come with this office and we already know how well all these will be performed. Just at this time the board and the president of the college are busily at work on a plan of enlargement and betterment which concerns the whole school,— students, faculty, alumni and friends. In the first place the plan provides for a campaign to raise one million dollars. Of this one half is to go into endowment and the remaining $500,000 is to be used in remodeling old buildings and erecting new, that the whole campus may become thoroughly up-to-date and modern in every respect. The chapel is to be remodeled. Eleanor Chestnut Hall and the Waverly Hospital are to be entirely finished. MacKay Building is to be changed in many respects and it is to be made the center of a group of splendid college buildings. The old dormitories for women,—Snyder, Nickel and Terrace cottage,—are to be razed and a new dormitory, accomodating two hundred women, is to built to take their place. In connection with this dormitory there will be a central dining-room where the whole Park College family will meet three times a day for meals. Besides these outstanding features many other improvements have been planned for the beautifying of the campus and accommodation of the students. These plans cannot be carried out in a single day nor can they be accomplish¬ ed by the single stroke of a pen. They will mean work and the greater part of this work will fall upon the board, and upon its president. “Fides et Labor” has always been the Park College motto and by that phrase the board, the president and the student body will accomplish that which they have set themselves to do. PROFESSOR HOWARD I. KERR On January twenty-fifth of this year our Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. met to say good-bye to Professor and Mrs. Kerr before they left for their new field of work in California.. We could not but feel a touch of sadness that evening, for v e realized what a loss their going away would bring to our Associations and to the student body at large. Among his other duties, Professor Kerr has for several years been an advisory member of the Y. M. C. A. Without his earnest efforts the work could not have grown as it has. His zeal for the Geneva Conference has made it possible for many of the boys to attend that wonderful meeting. He has also helped the Y. W. C. A. girls in procuring funds for the Estes Park Conference delegates. His entire life among the students has been one of helpfulness and inspiration. To all men he was the same. In the class-room, on the campus, on the chapel plat¬ form, where for several years he served as chaplain, and even at play, he was a gentleman in the truest sense of the word and every one who came in contact with his wonderful personality loved him. Mrs. Kerr has been the president of the Y. W. C. A. advisory board this past year and has given much of her time to the work. She has always helped in all efforts to make the association stronger and has given her hearty support to all phases of the work. Though these two friends are gone from us we cannot forget what they have done and the encouragement they have given us. Their influence will not die away but will live in the lives of those whose privilege it was to come in contact with them. Betty’s Freshman Year Parkville, Mo., September 3, 1915. Dear Kate:- I hope you are as anxious to hear my first impressions of Park as I am to tell them. I will not attempt to describe my journey from Kansas City here. Enough it is to say that there were crowds of students on the train, some “freshies” like myself, others old students who chattered away confidentially. Down deep in my heart I envied them. The old depot came in sight,—bustle and greetings followed. As I stepped off the train the best looking boy came up and offered to carry my suit-case. I suppose the college authorities must engage several boys for that purpose. He in¬ troduced himself as Bud Pruitt. I thought that was rather presuming as I am sure he is in the academy for he is so young looking, so I tried to impress him with my dignity and importance. When we reached the dormitory I said, “What renumera¬ tion is customarily considered satisfactory for such an expenditure of muscular activity?” He dropped my suitcase and his mouth flew open. He stared at me queerly and said, “Aw, come on.” After being assigned to a room, there followed three or four hours of tiresome waiting,—waiting for either my trunk or my room¬ mate. To my disgust neither came and the first feelings of homesickness were com¬ ing over me when someone knocked. It was a Senior girl, as I knew by her cap, and I learned that her name was Laura Johnson. She asked if I had attended to matri¬ culation yet. Well, that was a new one on me but I said something about being very well satisfied. She stared at me almost as surprisedly as the baggage boy had done. Then she said: “I don’t believe you understand me. It is necessary to go to the Dean’s office for matriculation.” So I went with her, wondering all the time what I was doing to get at the Dean’s office. And Kate, after waiting all afternoon, what do you think I got? Nothing but three little cards and I had to give all of them away hut one. So that was matriculation. That night there was a reception for the new students. I met crowds of peo¬ ple and I felt at home immediately. A Junior man with big brown eyes asked to take me home. I can’t remember his name. Anyway I was having a fine time till he said, “Let me introduce Mr. Pruitt, the President of the Senior class.” It was the baggage boy ! ! ! Oh, words cannot express my looks, feelings or embarassment. One more joke on myself and I leave you in peace. I have gotten into an awful mix-up. I find I have promised three girls to be in their Sunday-school class. I can’t seem to see what difference it makes which class I’m in, but they seem to think it very important. Well, it’s late and I am sleepy, so goodnight. Your old chum, BETTY. v ' L ■ {■ W •Jf ' b It ■}{• WW ' a ' ' V ii ' A ' ' a ' ■’a ' WW W W W September 10, 1915. Dearest Kate:- Tuesday we had election at chapel—but I forgot, you don’t know what chapel is, do you? I didn’t once. Well, it’s a place where everybody h as to go right after dinner and stay half an hour while someone addresses us that means talks and they sing from a little red hymn book. Afterwards they sometimes sing college songs about wild-cats and banners and things. One is too funny! Something about mak¬ ing the campus ring. I don’t know the exact words. But they can’t keep together on it. It is unbelievable, but really, part of them have to stop and wait for the rest before they can sing the chorus. If they keep trying they may learn it, but I don’t see any improvement so far. Well, as I started to remark, they elected the president of the student body. Two boys seemed especially anxious for the place. John, somebody got it but I voted for the other one because they say he is the best looking man on the campus. Saturday night I was invited to a “feed.” It seems to be an annual affair for the old girls to entertain the new on the first Saturday night. Kate, did you know how much fun girls really can have by themselves? Well, that was the jolliest time I ever had, boys or no boys. Right when we were having the most fun, there was an awful racket outside. Lights went out, curtains went up and there was a wild dive for the windows. Someone said, “Girls, it’s OUR boys!” That didn’t mean much to me until they began to yell and then I knew it had something to do with these clubs and societies they talk so much about. Do you suppose they mean Browning Clubs and Sewing Societies? If they do they can count me out. Write soon to vour friend, BETTY. M, M, M. Jt. «J«.

Well, it means that you can talk to a boy from six-thirty to seven-thirty and during that time, mind you, there are several bells to warn you that the hour is almost up. How do you suppose, Kate, that anyone could enjoy themselves under those con¬ ditions? I went with Lynn Browning to a feed Saturday afternoon in the woods. He certainly is a thoroughly polite boy and I like him very much. Oh, I forgot to tell you that one night during study hour all the girls were down in our room having barrels of fun. In the middle of a very humorous decla¬ mation, lo, a knock! and our dear house mother walked in, shocked and surprised. My one desire was to get out of sight. Suddenly I found myself in the depths of the wardrobe. After a few minutes I crawled out, conscience stricken, to take my squelching with the rest. One needs an entirely new vocabulary for Park College. Today I found out what “restrictions” mean. It seems if you break a rule that you are deprived of “social privileges,” which in other words means, being with a boy. I am having such a good time that I certainly hope that I don’t get under. I have a whopper Latin lesson for tomorrow, so goodby and good-night, BETTY. tU. M- «S«. W- «S«. Jt. •Vti Iv ' IC W W W W WW ■}« ' •} ' WW •Ji ' Vj’WW W ' a ' September 24, 1915. Dear Kate:- I have finally learned that I don’t know anything—at least not as much as I thought I knew. This particular instance of ignorance is my conclusion about those clubs and societies. Instead of being stupid they are about the most important things on the campus. Friendships are even made on a club and society basis. And the remarkable thing is that everyone tells you you will make the mistake of your young life if you don’t join THEM. A girl has to watch her actions for if she isn’t up to the standard she won’t be invited to any. I have been told that if I work it right I can get three invitations. There are several who are expecting to make that honor. This is short but you haven’t written to me so I won’t write much this time. BETTY. September 29th, 1915. Dearest Kate:- Park has a President, Dr. Hawley from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Now I am puzzling my head as to what they need a President for as long as they already have Dean Wilson, Associate Dean Wells and Dean of women, but I guess they can find a place for him. Miss Thompson’s class in Junior Home Economics prepared the banquet which the college gave. They have some cooks up here, Kate. I am not insinuat¬ ing that I am one of them because I am not. The other day I made some pie and the crust was so tough they couldn’t eat it. I also forgot to put the sugar in the filling so that wasn’t eatable either. But those Junior girls aren t guilty of such things. The orchestra played during the banquet and each musician got all the chicken he wanted. Every time that day I saw Mr. Simpson the leader he had a chicken hone. Two Junior boys, Lawrence Hurley and Marsh White, helped the waitresses and Malcolm Parker told me that with what Lawrence brought home and what Fay Stewart sent him he got a pretty good share of the banquet, himself. I got was an olive that Eloise Brodbeck brought me. Aren’t you coming up here next ear? BETTY. October 2, 1915. •pear K9,t6! Did you ever hear of “Hill Day”? I never did till I came to Park.

Dear Kate:-. burgting with things to tell you. The Calliopean program was great. It was a moving picture show, only the girls just acted instead of using the lantern and screen. Ruth Wyatt was the hero and she was better looking than any boy on the campus. The Calliopean girls treated us just like the Auroras and Lucernes did and they sang on the hill just as the others had done. Just imagine a jolly bunch of girls singing a call and their loyal brothers coming out to yell for them, the girls answering and then all voices uniting in their own song. It makes you feel all thrilly and excited. Marian Leavitt said she thought it was the magic of the moon¬ light but I don’t think so. Well, all last week there was a feeling of suppressed excitement. Dates for social hour were flying in the air. Ziggie sent me a box of flowers, Jimmie Black¬ burn took me to Kansas City and Jake Jacobs sent me five pounds of candy. Mr. Van Dyke told me that the boys had been begging to be allowed the privilege of doing his family work for him. I got ten invitations to “company supper” and Gene Hunt read my German to me every day. Marie Dancy told me that every time she went up to Mt. Zion they read her Latin to her, but Mr. Neeper had the funniest experience of all. He goi a box of candy every day and each time it was from a different girl. He said Mary Hale sent him the best box. Finally the eventful day came. The boys’ invitations went out first. Most of the doubtful ones went to the city to avoid the rush but said later that they weren’t even safe there. When they came pack there were three or four strong from Parchevard, Orion and Lowell wait¬ ing fo them. A Lowell ordered Mr. Van Dyke’s supper, an Orion paidf or it and while they were waiting for the change a Parchevard kidnapped him. At last our invitations came out. Some of the girls knew what they were going to be and took their colors to school with them under their coats. At half past two, just between periods, we got our notes and in five minutes almost all of us were settled. Each other girl thinks that she has joined the best but I KNOW I have. BETTY.

However, I enjoyed myself very much. Carson Hathaway won first place and I’m sure he will get a state victory. Kate dear, that man has the most wonderful big brown eyes. I thought everything was all over after the agony of signing up. We have to be initiated. It must be terrible. The boys have been telling us how they have to eat sandwiches of soap and oil, and be blindfolded and everything. Stevie said some¬ thing about a “baker’s dozen.” I acted like I knew for it isn’t well to act ignorant, especially now. The Lowell Freshman have been carrying pillows with them every¬ where they go. Truly Kate, I don’t know what I have done but I don’t have half the social hour dates I used to have and people aren’t as friendly either since we signed up.

It was so much fun to fix the big long tables with their pretty centerpieces really truly like Miss Thompson teaches the Sophomore’s to do. The turkey with all its fixin’s was a culinary dream. After the dinner came a program. They asked me to give a reading and I had a nervous chill for a week before. And then, Kate, wonderful to relate, we had general social hour until nine forty-five. Of course, the “cases” didn’t stay with the crowd. Margaret Whitefield said that Freshmen are incapable of having a real “case” and I am still a Freshman. I went to Professor Findlay’s lecture with Ralston New and had a mighty good time. Last Monday night we had open session. It is then that the brother and sister clubs meet together. After an extra fine pro¬ gram we had some refreshments. Of course, we visited the other clubs too, to show how well we liked them and incidently to get some more refreshments. I never knew before how many perfectly grand brothers I possess. vVoodward Hall had open house this week and such housecleaning as went on. Robert Scandland told me that lots of the paraphanalia was borrowed from Copley. From now on the Junior and Senior girls are to be given library privileges at night.

I forgot to tell you about the Parchevard-Orion Debate when I was at home. Each speaker did fine and the Parchevards won. And now the last debate has just come off between Parchevard and Lowell. The Parchevards won that too. It was so exciting and the air was tense during the strain of waiting just before the decision. I like debates but they surely are wearing.

Hoffman, Van Dyke and Hudson are our debators. We are sure to win. The Sophomore debaters are Conklin, Browning and Herbert Wolfe. If you don’t hear from me again, its exams. I do hope my class grades are good. Oh, if i had only studied more. I just heard Alice Piper say she had all her readings done, except Moulton’s something. Last Monday Bee Kisling came fifteen minutes early to the library to get a book. When those Seniors and Juniors are working in the library there isn’t room for anyone else. Good-night or (rather) Good-morning, BETTY. «S«. «J4. J4.4£• .St. «- v - •jf ' a ' -a ' WWiCW ‘VV ' iV WJS ' WWJi ' W January 28th, 1916. Dear Katie:- This is the “blessedest” time I have seen for almost two weeks. Do you fully comprehend that those nightmare exams are past? Coffee I consumed by the gallon, even spent my next months allowance in candles and then flunked chemistry. Such luck! resident Hawley said in one of his chapel talks that we’d get as much out of the semester’s work as we put in it. This leads me to believe that I’ll be one of Professor Dean’s bright and shining lights? I am embarking on the new semester with all the serenit y of an “old timer” and surely feel superior to the new folks that are dropping in among us. I just remember last September, smile and say “How do you do? When did you come?” Likewise, remembering me days of rushing, i begin to be nice, nicer, nicest. It doesn’t take long to get on to the ways of this world, does it? Things are brightening up perceptibly on my horizon, Kate. We may get to have one social hour a week until 9:45. Think upon it, fair one. Revolve it in youi mind. We talked about it in chapel today but don’t know how it will end. But in the midst of my rejoicing comes this ghost—to spend three hours with some swain you don’t care particularly for—Ach me! BETTY. Lovingly yours, J{. «J4. J4 «5«. «St. «5«. .M.

Everyone vies with each other in seeing who can “shoot the chute” the most gracefully. So far Lawrence Hurley and Lea Davis have the monopoly. Our Glee Club went to St. Joe between terms and likewise to Maysville to give concerts. They quite coverea memseives with giory. it is a line advertisement for the college but mighty hard on the girls “they leave behind them.” Some of the girls have nervous chills until they got back for fear some Venus may alienate their affection. Frizzel showed me one ot the letters they got saying that certain young ladies would welcome them back with wide open arms—Shocking! PT ' iday night the Juniors had a party at Professor and Mrs. Magers’ who are their new honorary members, successors to Prof, and Mrs. Kerr. The girls in that poor class are cetainly at a disadvantage—two girls to every boy and then some, but they take it very cheerfully. They got in from the party a week bit late but I sup¬ pose it’s allright, since they are Juniors. Professor Sanders entertained his Sunday school class at a banquet the other evening. The boys had all awful time borrowing dress suits to fit them. A new organization has put in its appearance. A stick club at Snyder—mem¬ bers Misses Hunt, Young, Davis and Searson. Their motto is “Quel Ennui Un Homme Est” which in English means “What a bore a man is.” Am so glad I can trill off a few French words. Sounds so accomplished, don’t you know. Have I told you about the “Big Four” yet? Well, that means Corny, Jacobs, Bud and Brad. A nice bunch, but addicted to social hours. Outside of their regular week day socializing they make a practice of visiting various groups of girls on Sun¬ day afternoon. Rose told me how they decided which these shall be and all about it but I wouldn’t like to repeat it. But they bumped into one bunch too many. They wrote a clever poem to the O. M. C.’s of Terrace Cottage for social hour. Were ac¬ cepted by a note as clever. The appointed hour came and the young Lochinvars were escorted into “the parlor dim of four young maidens all quite prim.” One of the girls described to me the consteration they caused with their old maids’ clothes of the past centuries. The conversation if it could be called that, was most uplifting. After a pathetic and heart rending solo, “My Bonnie lies over the ocean” Cambric tea and crackers were served. Everyone thinks it a splendid joke except the aforemen¬ tioned Big Four.” Jake Jacobs won’t even speak to the girls, I hear. 1 could ramble this way for an hour longer, but really must close.

Dear Katie The Freshman had a party last night and it was “A top-notcher.” They did expect the Sophs to have a little pep and make things a little more exciting but it’s no use to expect that Soph bunch to keep things humming. Mil Wakefield went with President Hawley’s son and half the girls in the Freshman class are green with envy. Bud Pruitt returned to-day and Nancy Love is once more her smiling self. That is one of the time-honored “cases” of the campus. Started way down in the Academy and still thrives. Jake Jacobs’ picture was in the Stylus’ matrimonial bureau this week. I think they pick on that man too much. He is mighty free hearted, I can say that, and doesn’t care how much money he spends on a girl, which reminds me he took Gene Hunt down to Kansas City for the Grand Opera, only one instance in many where some girl has had it lucky. But he is business manager of the Stylus, so suppose he can afford it. The Seniors have been given Senior privileges now. They can actually social¬ ize one night a week till 9:45. There are only two Senior “cases” to enjoy this. The Andrion-Philo debate was last night. The Philos won and would you be¬ lieve it, Pauline Teis has been sporting six red roses today. Park boys are surely noted for their loud ties. Paxton is wearing a brilliant green one today and Bud McConnell wears the stripiest ones I have ever seen. Holly has started to do fancy work and in Park College this means only ONE thing. Yours as ever, BETTY.

Such decorations I never saw. Pauline Parker spent forty-five minutes by actual count fixing her hair. It was a Valentine affair in design and color scheme. Hearts were everywhere evident, even in games and refreshments. Charles Shedd is on the campus in the interest of the Y. M. and Mary Mac is looking radiantly happy. I don’t know him but from all I hear he is the one man in the world I would consent to let have Mary Mac, for you know, Kate, she is my Senior ideal. We have the merit and demerit system here now with the emphasis on the demerit. We have morning prayers at 6:30 and you have to be on time. If not,—one demerit! Smiley White appeared at breakfast for the first time this year. I am representing one of the scenes you may see from your window any morning. That is, if it is light enough and you have time to look. This certainly doesn’t agree with me because girls’ aren’t the handsomest creatures at 6:30 a. m. Park basket-ball team played K. C. U. and won with a score of 37—15. The S. O. S. Club made their debut into society with white trousers and straw hats, with snow on the ground at that. Just what those letters stand for is a puzzle—but so far the verdict lies in favor of “Sons of Satan.” Carson Hathaway took two girls, believ¬ ing, I suppose, that with two he was safer than with one. Permission has been given us to go to Liberty to boost Paul for first place. The girls all cry “give me liberty or give me death.” The boys, “give me liberty and five bones.” Oh, I am some wit. Well, good-night with that. As ever, BETTY. Atf At At At At At At At At At At At At At At At At At At At i S « W ' zf VS ' A ' VS A -7 k -?k W W -z« ' A ' W as VS Zk February 25th, 1916. Dear Old Chum:- Now after all my perfect agony for fear I wouldn’t get a date for Liberty I did and with Pickle Powell. And now we can’t go. Just my luck exactly. If I hadn’t had a date I know we could have gone. Irony of Fate! Mrs. Hawley has offered a ten-dollar prize to the Senior girl who writes the best story of her life at Paik College. Now that will be interesting, I am sure, but not nearly so interesting as the life of a Freshman. Our “Preceptress” just came in to inspect the room and looked under the bed. Unwise act, of course, one more demerit, I presume. Yesterday was day of prayer for Colleges. We didn’t have school. Attendance was required at two services, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, at which Rev. Mr. Kerr, of Tulsa, spoke. From then on until supper time we had social hour and the campus was just alive with couples. I saw Pauline Teis and Albert Smith sitting under the bridge over by New Dorm and Prof. Farver and Bert Low in the Spoon Holder and strolling around here and there we met Zelpha Bray and Harold Branch, Mabel Ruland and Shouse, Viola Dean and Roller, Mary Wickerham and Tc Tmi t Yv b G C Parker. The first outside girl’s basket ball game was played last night between our Academy team and one from Kansas City. Our girls won, of course. Those Academy youngsters sure can play. Jay Goins and Derby organized themselves into an “In¬ dividual Guide Association” to escort the young lassies around. Enough for this time. BETTY. oe. jig. jig. jig.

This makes one victory a piece for the two teams. For real enthusiasm the Academy has the college beaten a country mile. Paul Wolfe gave his oration in the chapel yesterday. It is one pippin for sure. The rest of those fellows won’t hold a candle with him. We are having fine en¬ thusiasm meetings for first place and a holiday. The school “in toto” and the band, of course, gave him and Francis Findlay a fine send-off this morning when they left on the 9:30 a. m. Copley’s mother, Mrs. McPherson, has left. They say that Copley used to be a regular rough-house all the time but she came and made it so home-like that they all loved her. When the epidemic was there she was an angel in disguise to the boys who were sick. Bill White and Ziggie look lost without her. Mrs. Forsythe is to take her place while a new matron goes to New Dorm. We heard before she came that she was going to bring her daughter with her and the boys were all expectancy. But lo, she is only twelve. However, Mr. Peck thinks he can wait a couple of years. Sincerely yours, BETTY. «Jg. Jg. Jg. J{. Jig. Jig. Jg. Jig. Jig. Jg. Jg. Jig. Jg. Jig. Jg, Jig. Jig.

They say that it was the closest and best contest for years and we feel mighty proud of Paul. The night of the contest we were all so excited that we didn’t know what to do with ourselves so it was a good thing that we had a chapel event here. Ada Roach and her com¬ pany presented “The Heart of the Emigrant” and it was sure fun from start to finish. Each character represented some nationality. One girl was a Swede and said that she had come not to work but to vote. She told of the many famous personages for whom she wanted to vote and ended with “August Klamm for King of Kaiserland.” Fred Frizelle came in for his share when “Gretchen” displayed a bunch of sweetpeas presented to her by that gentleman. Saturday night we had a double-header basket-ball event. The college team played the Gladstones from Kansas City and won by a score that almost doubled that of the visiting team. The Academy played a Y. M. C. A. team from the city and also won, as usual. I guess this is all that has happened this week. We, Freshmen, are saving all our energy up for the debate tomorrow night. After the Sophomores have met us there, won’t be even a shadow left of them to tell the tale. Excitedly yours, BETTY. March 20th, 1916. Dearest Kate:- The Demerit System is driving me mad. I’ve been running so fast to keep ahead of it that epistulary intercourse is entirely out of the question. This is a graphic representation of my usual appearance. Well, the wonderful Freshman-Sophomore debate has come and gone and of course, we won—I knew we would. I won enough candy to satisfy me for once. Two more exciting basket ball games have come off—with Warrensburg and Lowe-Campbells. In each case we lost because of their wonderful “rep.” We had our installation of the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet last Wednesday. It was a candle-light service and very impressive but right in the midst of it all, our campus mascot “Copley” strolled leisurely to the pla tform and planted himself in the bower of flowers before the President. It has heightened my respect for the cabinet for you know they say that a dog always follows educated people. “Spring is come”—its signs are among us. For one thing Christoff has shaved his head—-for another Flamson and McConnell have moved from the second floor to the fourth for reasons unknown (?). I suppose for a change of atmosphere. Minia¬ ture ball games are in progress hourly in front of Copley. Do you know what a Baker’s Dozen is? You had them often when you were a kid but probably knew them by a different name. Well, on St. Patrick’s day Clif¬ ford Todd got “one of them things,” administered by a boy plus a broomstick while four stalwart youths held the victim. This has been a week of parties, but not for “yours truly.” The third and fourth year classes have quite set the pace, the Seniors following with a Mother Goose party at Professor Findlay’s. I am going to keep social hour with David Bates so must close “to curl me goldie locks.” BETTY. •94. J4. .94. .94. .94. «J«. J4. S4. 04. 04. 04. 04. 04. 04. 04. 04. 04. 04. 04.

Monday night the Philo’s won the Academy championship after playing off a tie twice. The winning goal broke Roy Swanson’s toe. He is now in the hospital re¬ cuperating. We had blue Monday on Wednesday this week. Blue because we didn’t have the holiday we expected. Blue also because no lessons had been prepared. That was to have been Narva Day, but of course, it rained. So Saturday we put on our pleasantest grin and proceeded to be “tooked.” The Junior boys are sure a joke. Prof, and Mrs. Magers entertained their class Friday evening and it took the combined efforts of the whole campus to get the girls their dates. Anyway, we hoar they had a fine time and the most fun yet with their athletic meet. For once they all seemed to have enough to eat. The Stick Club blossomed out in jonquils this week. Wonder who the noble giver was? I’m green with jealousy. Lucinda Bridgland beat my time this week and went to the city with David Bates in his car. But I don’t care—I went walking with Joe Preston. Will you tell me that surprise you have for me in your next letter. I’m dying of curiosity. So-long. BETTY. v ' 4. J4.J4. «J4. «J4.

It sounds like a beautiful dream. And you’re actually coming here? This place isn’t big enough to hold me, I’m so happy. While your father diligently attendeth the Billy Sunday meetings we will have all kinds of good times. And now for the campus news. The h nd and orchestra had their annual con¬ cert and of course, it was splendid. Mr. tader and his music just made me weak and all thrilly feeling it was so beautiful. Friday night Jake, Filson and Wolfe went to Emporia for a debate there. Such enthusiasm, I believe no other student body ever had. At midnight the returns came. We had won. Headed by the band, the boys in costumes grotesque, to say the least, paraded the campus and town entirely outraging the more sedate Perkville citizens. And the next day a glorious whole holiday. I tell you we have the best President on earth. I can’t take time to tell you all about our meeting the train the next day and taking the victorious team and our grand Mr. Lawrence, who is the power behind the gun, up to the chapel in a canary and wine chariot.

Just a little longer till you will be here. Oh, it’s too good to be true! Big doings are coming off here. I hope you will come in time to enjoy some of them. We, Freshmen, had a party at the Sanders and had one glorious time. Tables have changed and we have a great bunch of boys eating here. I always like every term better. We lost the Westminster debate but that only shows what little sense the judges have. This morning we found great big posters pasted all over the campus “Help Hathaway Win.” He gave his oration in chapel one day last week and we are sure proud of our orator.

Dear Old Chum:- A thousand pardons for not writing last week but when you’ve heard my tale of woe, I’m sure you’ll forgive me. We had week of work—emphasis on the work. Seven and a half long hours did we diligently apply ourselves, overhauling attics that have not seen the light of day for years; housecleaning in an intense spirit undream¬ ed of by the most scrupulous housewife. And lo, at the end of two days came the announcement of “Open House” for the girls. There was no use trying to borrow to cover up deficiencies so we overturned our hope boxes (at least those who had such things) washed and ironed our curtains, beat our rugs and in every way tried to make our room presentable. And then, Kate, we didn’t have it! ! ! Never again! ! ! ! ! The Glee Club concert was great. The boys were so handsome in their dress suits, (some of them). But probably it was an illusion created by the wonderful decorations around them—Japanese screens and laterns, roses and that lovely romantic feeling those things create. By far the greatest event of this week has been the Park-Drury debate. The “honorable opponents” arrived in time for chapel on Tuesday and made very friendly Op 2T) Session impromptu speeches. They seemed amazed at our enthusiasm over a debate. One of them said he doubted whether the folks at Drury even knew that they were here. Well, we sure showed how we could boost our men. Flamson, Hathaway and Findlay —modest youths—had retreated to the attic in the Findlay home, hoping to avoid any demonstration over them. But John Meyer sent some strapping boys after them with the injunction to get them dead or alive. They returned with only one victim, Mr. Hathaway, who said he would make his main speech to the boys who accom¬ panied him to the chapel, but we all felt repaid for the long wait and won the debate that evening by a unanimous decision. It was my first intercollegiate debate and Kate I can’t write fast enough or well enough to describe adequately what took place. My heart just beat fast and tears tried to come to my eyes—I was so happy over “our boys.” The wee hours witnessed another bonfire celebration after it was all over. And before the excitement had subsided Beeler (alias Belvins) left for the State Peace Oratorical contest at Liberty. We got fourth place and are proud of the way our man acquitted himself. By the time you receive this you’ll be all packed up and ready to start for Kansas City. Billy Sunday comes in a few days now and we are hoping to have him up here at Park one day. I have news by the wholesale to tell you but will save it till that time “when I will again bask in the sunshine of your smiles.” You’re laugh¬ ing at this I know so will close this, the last letter I shall write in my Freshman year to my old chum, Kate.

The players shuttle¬ cock the ball from one end to the other through the air; and when they dribble it on the floor they use their paws as battledores. So you see, Rollo, that you have been deceived again by those bold, bad boys. No, basket ball is not a form of athletics, but a ladies’ game. It is a hot pink-tea reception and Terpischore is the hostess. The lean, skinny Gaffers stand in the center, as you see, Rollo. The bean-pole candidate faces his stilted nibs and when the ball is cast aloft, will give it a lollop with his tendril. Perfervidium ingenium is then the glad word. Whoever succeeds in plucking the gourd from the vine tries to secrete it in a hamper attached to the wall .“Hamper” is good, it is no misnomer. When the ball is dropped into the empty space it must be repeatedly stowed away to make it stay. The other side, also, hampers it all they can and whichever hampers it the most wins the game.

An Ancient Chronicle ft (A translation of a fragmentary rock-cut inscription of the wisdom of Kissus A Gen, and antedates the Christian era by at least two millenia. It is thought by Professor Findlay and other eminent archaeologists to be about the age of Rameses and faintly suggests the verdant Freshie of that period.) The Words of the Wisdom of Kissus A Gen the Wise, the Honorable Big Toad in the Honorable Small Puddle, the fame of whose learning extends throughout the length and breadth of the White Aloe, sometimes called the Ha’ir Aquaton. Thus saith Nol-itejac-tare (A’lajhissalama): “Hard is the way of him who would instruct the youth; yea, and pebbles are in the sandals of him who traveleth thereon. Full is the cup of his woes. Vexation is his meat and tribulations are the where¬ withal wherewith he fllleth his pipe. “As the taste of water after grape fruit, so is the sight of him with whom thou hast ended a romance. “In the day he balanceth himself on his toes and waveth a lead pencil between finger and thumb. In the night he communeth with his dyspeptic stomach and cri- eth, ‘O, what’s the use?’ His days are few and like unto the E’s given by Professor Magers, and his troubles, lo, they are as many as the words that break the silence of the library. “To earn his few monthly shekels he laboreth as on a pilgrimage to the land of Carchemish, to spend them is as easy as to persuade the rest of the Faculty to hunt snipe. “He fain would get a case on a family girl, but fear in his heart restraineth him. He feareth the Sorcercess who dwelleth on Mt. Zion and whose eye can pierce beyond the grave. Lo, the sun addeth not to his joy, but he rejoiceth greatly in the moon and stars. “Diverse and manifold are the souls of those that come unto him for instruc¬ tion and cunning must be the hand and strong the arm that would pry apart the cranial bones and pour between the cracks the molasses of knowledge. For it is written in the wisdom of Hannabal-Haggadol: ‘Of bone is his head, yea, of much bone and of ivory of great price is the texture thereof.’ “There are those whose voices are exceeding gentle; yea, above a whisper they rise not. For they say, ‘I did not raise my voice to be a whisper.’ Keen must be thine ear if thou wouldst hear their words, telepathic must be thy soul if thou wouldst know whether such an one speaketh or purreth only. “Such shalt thou console with grades that are low, with flunks shalt thou rejoice their hearts; for the poet hath said, ‘Sad shall be the bird that singeth and twittereth not.’ And some there are who delight to sleep in Chapel, they toil not in their Ger¬ man, in their Math they shine not. These, my son, shalt thou diligently feed on lemons, and soreness shall be their diet. If they mend not their ways, many demerits shalt they receive, to other schools shall they hie themselves; the mustard they cut not. And some there are who suffer from Cephalic Elephantiasis, their chests are to be seen from afar. Couldst thou buy them for the shekels of their true price and sell them for the talents of their self-estimated price, couldst thou find a buyer so foolish, great would be thy gain. “Such an one shalt thou see but rarely. They attend not on instruction, they prefer not morning prayers, their books they know without study, their exams they pass not.” At this point the inscription comes to an abrupt end.

Thousands of users of Buick Valve-in-Head six cylinder cars give evidence daily that they are getting 20 miles or more per gallon of gasoline consumed while touring with full passenger load and many users report over 25 miles per gallon.

Your Share of $1,250,000.00 During a period of twenty consecutive work¬ ing days the past two seasons, employers asked us to recommend teachers for positions aggregating one million, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in salary. This was very early in the season and at that time we did not have enough suitable candidates for all these positions. We have placed nearly twelve thousand brainy men and women with discriminating employers. We do not recommend unless we are asked to do so by school officials direct. This is why our candidates receive careful consideration when teachers are appointed. If you are interested in a teaching position and have the proper qualifications we can serve you.

Engravings for School Publications a Specialty An annual does not get itself out. It is two or three times harder than it looks. It makes no difference whether it is a little thin high school annual, or a big university year book as heavy as a paving brick, it is a job of a thousand details, and the funny thing about it is that nine hundred of them are unlooked for. Your first step, then, is to call in the assistance of a reliable engraver, and let him help plan your book. The sooner you are entitled to interested advice on a subject involving so many techni¬ cal details, the more rapid and effective will be your progress. Write for our proposition.

With all the equip¬ ment and teaching force of the Central Business College, if it were located in any of the towns within a radius of two-hundred miles of Kansas City, the institution could not possibly mean so much to the student. This is well demonstrated by the recent location of the Federal Reserve Bank in this city. Kansas City is the financial and business headquarters of a large part of Missouri, all of Kansas Oklahoma Nebraska Colorado. This means that Kansas City em¬ ploys a very large per cent of all the stenographers, bookkeepers, and general office help in this entire territory. Kansas City is mak¬ ing more rapid strides in a business way now than ever before and great financiers all over the country are constantly making the as¬ sertion that it will some day reach a population and financial prestige that will place it third in the class of large cities in the United States. The average Business College student has a double pur¬ pose in attending school. First, to secure practical education. Sec¬ ond, to secure a paying position. This being the case, the Central Business College and Kansas City afford all the advantages that it is possible for a prospective student to secure anywhere in the United States.
