HAWLEY “O’er life’s humblest duties throwing Light the earthling never knew, Freshening all its dark waste place As with Hermon’s dew.” To Mrs. Hawley, the present generation of students, as well as future generations of stu¬ dents, owes a great debt of gratitude. Her personality has been built into every plan of our new Copley-Thaw. The architects con¬ sulted her continually, and the result stands as a beautiful proof of her vibrant artistic tempera¬ ment. Not only has she been intensely interested in Copley, but she has also extended her interest to every dormitory, and to every student on the campus. Our triumphs are her joys; our clouds, her clouds, both while here as students, and when we leave for other work after gradua¬ tion. Page 18 Ross A. Wells, A. M. Mathematics and Astronomy A. B.

Page Page 48 Page J 9 Page 50 ikipfjomore Class istorp A S FRESHMEN we arrived on the campus on a bright September day of ’18. We were young then, and less sedate. Our first day at Park was one of wonder, amazement, and constant questioning. But that night, on that night! All were peaceably sleeping and the Sophs came, gently dragged the poor Freshie boys from their beds, wrapped them in bathrobes and baling wire to protect them from the cold, and quietly took them to the first floor of Old Copley. There they sat, in line with their backs to the wall, for two hours, after which time they were permitted to continue their slumbers. The second night, with a captain on each floor of Copley, and with the watch¬ words, Kamerad” and Sausage,” we treated our adversaries in a similar manner, except that the old laundry was their place of confinement. Hostilities were finally discontinued until the Barrel-rush, which our opponents won only after twenty minutes of strenuous fighting. Next the Sophs won the Basket Ball championship, but we were close seconds. Then came the flag scrap and Freshman-Sophomore Debate. As our ene¬ mies were afraid to take the offensive, we put our banner on the flag pole in front of the chapel, greased the pole, and cleared the deck for action. And action it was; in Park House, in Copley, and on all the rest of the campus, until the Sophs hauled down our flag at sunrise. Two Sophomores were sent to the hospital and several others bore minor injuries as a result of the fray. Even the girls indulged in fighting on Terrace, Chesnut and Nickel roofs, over the flags of the two classes. Oh, but the Debate; we won it, as every Freshman class does. Next came the Stylus contest in which we came out on top with flying colors. Likewise we took the Declamatory contest with both first and second places, but the Sophomores won the Essay contest despite our efforts. This year, as Sophomores, we have been victorious in the tie-up, by the use of stratagem and initiative. The Barrel-rush, in a similar manner, we easily won; but in Basket Ball we triumphed only by a close margin and a hard fight, over our rivals of the preceding year. Next came the Park funny paper which was issued out of the decoration of the ’23 emblem on the mule barn roof, on alternate mornings for a week by the ’22’s and ’23’s. By their actions in this episode the Freshies showed that they were close kin to the inhabitants of their sign board. The Class of ’22 has not had it lucky, but has fought for every inch of ground she has gained, and will be ready to take up the real fight June, 1922. Yours, Mr. Right No. 4.

Then only a few high schools in this part of the country had a good academic course. While most other first class colleges have done away with their preparatory departments, Park has maintained her academy for two reasons: First, there is no high school in the village. Second, Park has always had a number of very worthy students who have been denied high school oppor¬ tunities until they were past high school age. From this group of students have come some of the leading spirits of our college life. But for Park Academy, these worthy young people might have been deprived of higher education. The Academy is strictly college preparatory. Practically all the graduates enter college. Of the class of 1919, twenty-eight in number, twenty-three entered Park College; three entered another college. A large number of our college orators are graduates of the Academy. This year, five out of nine of the college intercollegiate debaters received their first training in the Academy in their clubs. This points to the fact that more encouragement should be given to the Academy literary clubs. The Academy has the standing of a first class high school, as it is accredited by the University of Missouri and the North Central Association. It is also becoming a first class training school for teachers. Under the supervision of Miss Harrison, the work of the Academy is today better organized than it ever was before. The teachers who assist her are Miss Ruland and Miss Smith. The twenty-five Seniors who do their practice teaching in the Academy receive the Missouri High School Cer¬ tificate, and the reputation of those who have gone out from Park, is shown by the increasing demand for Park teachers. Since old Woodward was moved to its present site beyond Eleanor Chesnut it has been the home of the Academy men. The women have not been so fortunate as to have a home of their own, but they have lived with the college women. If you wish to know about Academy good times, look in the Junior Feature Section. And ye Juniors, once Woodward men, d’ye remember how Boss Nichols sat on that pie, hidden under the bedclothes?

Page 65 % je $arfe Ulummab Official Publication of the Park College Alumni Association T HE ALUMNIAD, as “a live wire publication,” is here to stay. It had a beginning and it may have an ending, but we are not concerned about the latter. As a child of the Association it need never worry about non¬ support, because its middle name is Park. The individual who started this Publication is still living, and every month reads its pages with the keen appe¬ tite of youth. This man is Edward R. Barrett, class of ’95, Professor of Eng¬ lish Literature at the Kansas State Normal. Here is what he says about our subject’s early history: “In the year 190— and I forgot what, I was elected President of the Asso¬ ciation by a small pluralit y. I was informed that it was part of my duty to raise $5,000, a sum which the Association still owed on the Alumni Building. Began by sending out some post cards, asking members for an expression of opinion. The response was so warm and encouraging that I thought it would boost things along if all the alumni could read what each had to say. With this idea in mind I published the first number of what has come to be a firmly established periodical. Thinking to make an epic tale of the wanderings and doings of the children of Park, told in series form and each contributing some share, I christened the little sheet, ‘The Park Alumniad.’ And that’s the story. Barrett published eight issues of the paper, whereupon his tenure of office expiring, he relinquished the editorship to Robert A. Bucanan, ’01. Bucanan was an all-around man—writer, preacher, and Superintendent of the In¬ dustrial Department of the College. He proved to be not only an efficient but also a highly polished editor. He was followed by J. Hamilton Lawrence, ’95, Professor of English at Park (and a most logical successor as secretary-treasurer of the Association). Thereupon and almost without warning, Walter J. Gresham, ’08, loomed up as a dark horse, and went into office at Commencement, 1915. The incumbency of Mr. Gresham was continuous until March, 1918, and although a lawyer by profession, he stuck as close to the truth as possible in everything that passed his censorship for the public print. The years since 1918 have marked the reign of the present chief of staff, with the possibility that the reign may soon be over. So much for history. The ALUMNIAD fills, we hope, a niche in the life of Park graduates peculiarly its own. A family we were as students, and a family we continue to be, scattered but related. So the Alumniad is the letter from home, telling the news and keeping alive the lasting things of college life. Yours for the future, to make it even better than the past. ALBERT W.

Dean, ’97 T HE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION of Park College was begun in the year 1879, when the first class was graduated from Park. At this time the total membership consisted of four persons, and the organization was purely tentative; but since then the membership has increased until it has passed the thousand mark, and the organization has become as strong as the enrollment is large. To quote from the preamble of the constitution of the Association, “The object of this association shall be to assist and advance the interest of Park College and to cherish feelings of brotherhood and friendship among its grad¬ uates.’’ The membership includes all graduates of and all who have an honorary degree from Park and such honorary members as have been elected. An annual meeting is held every year, on the day before Commencement, in the Alumni Building, which was erected by the graduates for that purpose. At this meeting the president, elected yearly, takes his office and transacts the details of the Association business. In the evening is held a banquet in honor of the graduating class of the year, at which old friends renew former ties and form new ones. The Alumni Association at all times fulfills its stated purpose. It is the instrument by which the scattered graduates of Park are bound together in a common love for one another, and for their Alma Mater, and it is the organization upon which both administration and students depend for help and inspiration. Park College is represented in almost every country of the world by graduates who are performing their services as missionaries, teachers, ministers and professional men, and through these graduates are kept constantly in touch not only with American, but with world affairs. Park owes the breadth and strength of her fame to those who labor for her regardless of the cost and in¬ convenience. Recently the strength and the love of the Association for Park were manifested in the magnificent way in which it donated over thirty thousand dollars to the new Science Hall fund, in spite ot all the other and more pressing demands that were being made upon it. Were it not for our Alumni Association, Park College would be without its greatest assistant and its greatest source of material and spiritual inspiration.

Under the very efficient direction of Prof. R. V. Magers, the fine work of the club has won the appreciation and applause of the citizens of many cities and towns of Kansas and Missouri. To these places the men, with all their customary enthusiasm and earnestness, have carried the glorious Park spirit. Many trips have been made to Kansas City, where, in 1919- 20, the club was requested to sing, at one time at Shriner Temple, at another time at Convention Hall on the occasion of the Annual New Year’s Masonic Ball. Sundays spent in Kansas City at the various churches have served to carry the Park message to many who perhaps were not aware before that such an institution as Park existed. There was no event of the year 1919 that was looked forward to with greater expectancy or that has since been recalled with more pleasure by the members of the Glee Club than the trip to St. Louis on the occasion of the meeting of the General Assembly in that city. Evening dress was first donned at Kirkwood, a suburb of St. Louis, where among other hospitalities the Glee Club was entertained at a porch supper at the home of Mr. A. B. Ambler. From Kirkwood the club proceeded to the Odeon Theater in St. Louis, where the General Assembly was in session. The ministers extended the singers a cordial welcome and seemed genuinely pleased with the selections that the men from Park rendered. The Glee Club had the honor of appearing on the same program with Wm. J. Bryan at the banquet given by the Committee on Men’s Work. On Sunday, the last day of the St. Louis sojourn, quartettes sang at several local churches. Having enjoyed the hospitality of St. Louis, the Glee Club boarded the tram for Holden, Mo., where the last concert of the trip was given. The St. Louis trip will always be regarded as one of the most enjoyable trips and most conspicuous privileges in the history of the club.

The girls entered enthusiastically into their new work, and with Miss Keefer as their inspiration and help they did well. Their first program rendered on May 21, 1918, was a great success. On account of the “flu,” the S. A. T. C., and other reasons, the girls were unable to continue their work the first semester of last year. However, the second semester they came back with a new zeal and, in conjunction with the other musical organizations of the campus, gave the following program: Piano—Hungarish.

We march to chapel to the military tones of the Park-Lawrence Band, as it practices every day perched in the balcony of the Alumni Auditorium. From the arched doorway there pours forth for a few short minutes every noon a stream of music varying from the most melodious of waltzes to the noisiest of marches, punctuated by jazz blares from that trombone of George Parks. Tramp, tramp, tramp! We march along and re¬ call the deeds of the band. It is always ready to play. It welcomes the distinguished guests to the campus, it assists in the dedications of new buildings, it plays at most of the entertainments. Every spring it participates in the Band and Orchestra Con¬ cert. Greatest of all, it sends off our contestants in debate and oratory, welcomes the victors home, and leads the celebration processions. Pep and Park-Law¬ rence Band are synonymous terms. Long may they live! Page 107 THE STUDENT BODY OFFICERS In keeping with the character of the institution, the student body of Park College is itself unique in that, unlike most bodies, it has four heads instead of one to form its upper extremity. These four heads, two acting as executives, one as collector, banker, and dispenser of funds, and one as collector, banker and dispenser of pep, perform the mental functions of the huge body and keep it doing its daily calisthenics in the proper and prescribed manner. DeWitt Knotter, as president, is as handsome and capable, as could be desired. When he stands before us and leads us coolly and unblushingly. through the intricacies of a business meeting, we marvel at his self-possession, and when we look back over the glories of our past year we glow with pride over the ability of our president. ..... Kenneth Parker, as vice-president, has unobtrusively but enthusiastically backed up De Witt and helped him in every way. We applaud him vigorously for everything except his tendency toward swearing and his shameless flirta¬ tions as he stands before us in chapel. Margaret Robinson, as secretary-treasurer of the corporation, has shown remarkable literary talent in keeping minutes and writing checks. She can make money “bob” around without any undue effort whatsoever. Guy E. Trulock, as yell-leader, serves as the tonic which makes the student body the admiration of,the other collegiate physical wrecks that occasionally visit us. This is the Cuy who makes not only the E in his name stand for enthusiasm, but also the whole crowd stand for enthusiasm. Let’s give a big bomb for the student body officers!

Parker Arthur S. Webb George H. Olson Glover A. Daniel Chairman of Extension Committee . J. Lewis Kent T he ASSOCIATION OF MINISTERIAL STUDENTS is a strictly local organization, not being affiliated with any other similar society. Its purposes as stated in the constitution are: “To bind together those students of the campus who are preparing for the Christian ministry; to promote the cause of the Christian ministry; to render such Christian service as the Association finds possible.” A short meeting is held every other Sunday evening after the regular church service. Ordinarily these consist of brief devotional exercises, informal discussions and frequent talks on topics of interest by mem¬ bers of the faculty. Notwithstanding the pressure of college work, which prevents any extensive field work, members have often supplied the pulpits of various churches, deriving from this service a greater inspiration as well as valuable practical experience. Another field for service is found in the country churches of the surrounding community. Certain members of the Association have assumed responsibility for each ot these and have done a useful work in organizing and conducting Sunday Schools. The entire membership is formed into gospel teams of four members each, and one or more teams are prepared to conduct services at any time they may be called. During this year we have lost through death two of our most faithful and consecrated members, George Schwing and Seldon Cook. They lived the Gospel of Jesus and were examples and an inspiration to all whom they met. The number of ministerial students in the college is not as large as it should be. Indeed it is not as large as in former years. It is one of our aims to lead more men into this field. There is a great need for men who see in the Christian ministry the plan of God for their lives, and who are filled with an earnest zeal to put their every talent into whole-time service. The Christian ministry today requires big men. Religion is entering every phase ot social and business life; and not only must the Gospel be preached, but the principles of Christ must be related to everyday problems. Page 111 Page 112 STUDENT VOLUNTEER BAND is tutient Volunteer H ITHER and yon, in many unfrequented corners of this old earth may be found Park men and women putting all their souls into the. Master’s business, and carrying the Gospel Light to those who are in darkness. With compassion and love they devote their lives to the service of needy humanity. With devout zeal they are continually carrying on, sometimes in the face of seemingly un- surmountable difficulties. Theirs is the Park spirit in the truest sense and the nearest approach to the true Christ spirit. Our missionaries write back to us time after time telling of the tremendous need and the wonderful things that could be accomplished, if only there were more consecrated lives to put heart and soul into the great work of the foreign field. Just now the need for recruits is desperate. There have bee n many deaths and resignations from active work due to the terrible strain of the past five years The ranks of. the heroic band working in distant lands is sadly depleted and anxiously they pray for reinforcements. The Student Volunteer organization in this country is doing its utmost to meet this great need for workers by consecrated personal effort, and. by keeping before the students of America the needs and opportunities in the foreign field. The Park College band can ably picture to the student body the pitiful conditions and the urgent call of far distant lands for bearers of the Light, since a large number of volunteers coming here from abroad to secure an education have spent their childhood in foreign countries, and have seen the need and conse¬ crated their lives to help and enlist others to help meet it. Every Sunday evening the Volunteer Band gathers for a short meeting under the direction of Annabel Eckels, the vice-president, these meetings vary in their nature from time to time. Often a missionary just returning from the field on a furlough will bring greetings to Park from some distant land—and the call—always the call for laborers to rally to His standard and help carry on. How it gladdens the hearts of these earnest workers to see the energy and purpose of this band, which is so eager to get in the thick of the fray on the Lord s side.” p i The j j nC ! under the ca P a ble direction of their president, Kenneth rarker, added to its numbers during the past year fifteen new mem¬ bers who expressed their willingness to serve in the foreign field wherever God should call them. It was found at the National Student Volunteer Convention that Park College had a larger per¬ centage of h er alumni in the foreign field than any other college in the United States. This certainly speaks well for the work of the Park Volunteer Band Although its work has been so eminently successful the Student Volunteers look ever onward and upward, seeking op¬ portunities of greater service for the Master. Their spirit is in¬ domitable. Page 113 oS as N 3 os w H os o Oh H z w H W Z 5 u u £ p 4 u u tn oi W Q Z • C 2 O Vi C4 H W P OS O ' O P 5 ° PQ Z ■ § I J 0 14 3 3 N W z w w Ph z o Vi is ■«!

Parks Chairman of Music Committee — Helen Beeson The Y - j W - ( - A - as on e of the most progressive organizations in the church of the world today, has a great task to do. The Y. W. C. A. of Park this year sought to do its share in this task by bringing the girls into a closer relationship with each other, and above all, with their Master, and by trying to give them a vision of service. Although the Association has worked under difficulties this year, because o the unsettled conditions caused by the war, it has come out on top, and is hlling a place of moral influence in the college girl’s life that nothing else can fill. . A t the beginning of the year the Y. W. C. A. gets in touch with the new gir s and when they arrive on the campus they are welcomed by the Y. W. girls and made to feel at once the influence and prestige of the Association. The membership includes the greater part of the girls on the campus, and the committee work is well divided so as to give the girls opportunity for active service. This year the girls have started the fund for a Y. W. C. A. hut, which they hope to have built in the very near future, and which they feel will be a great factor in drawing the girls more closely together. The Association has a fund from which the girls receive aid to go to the summer conferences at Hollister and Estes Park. This year there is a very cirge delegation of Park girls going to Estes Park, and they are coming back next tall full of enthusiasm and ideas to make our Y. W. C. A. even better than it is this year. It is due to the inspiration, advice and counsel of the members of the Ad¬ visory Board that the Y. W. C. A. pushes ahead day by day, and we are indeed grateful that we have the help and influence of such strong and active Christians. Page 117 HOIrLl r B K! Page 118 Hollister H OLLISTER, a few years ago, was just a name on the map, down in the Missouri Ozarks on the White River. But that was before the Y. M. C. A. started its great Summer Conference Camp for the Southwestern states, not only for the colleges of this section, but for the city Y. M. C. A.’s After only four years’ trial, Hollister is beginning to mean for the Southwest what Lake Geneva means to the North Central states, and Estes Park to the Western states. Last year seventeen Park men had the privilege of attending the College conference, Professor Sanders was also present as a faculty member. We arrived there at noon on Friday, June 5th, and were busy all of the time during the next ten days. From the first, rivalry was sharp between the different state delegations. Park had the largest college delegation, but there were more Texas Long Horns than Missouri Mules.’’ In athletics, Missouri won the track meet, Oklahoma the baseball and tennis, and Texas the basket ball. In the afternoons those who wished took to the water, or the athletic field, or the shade during leisure time. The mornings and evenings were given to many kinds of meetings in which the complex problems of modern college life were taken up and discussed. Prominent speakers from different parts of the country very forcefully presented every branch of Christian Service for the earnest consideration of the men. It would be hard to believe that so much could be put into ten short days if one had not been there to share it. Campus, industrial, political, national, and world problems all called for attention; to each were applied various solu¬ tions, but it was clearly shown that only those solutions based on Christian principles could really be effective. Another great inspiration gained at Hollister was received through meeting two hundred men from different colleges of five states; men with different views of life but with one aim, to better fit themselves for Christian service and leader¬ ship in the world, when their school courses are finished; and during their stu¬ dent days to lead in Christian work in their colleges. As we left that little Ozark station, we felt that we were leaving a center of world interest, experience and power. When we hear the word Hollister, we think again, not of a remote place in the backwoods of Missouri, but of a great work, the task of making Christianity the dominant force and power in our own College, our own country, our own world. —A Junior Boy. Page 119 W tiat $arfe ©irte ®tb ®t loUtsiter T HE WESTERN STUDENT CONFERENCE of the Y. W. C. A. was held at Hollister, Mo., June 17-27, 1919. The Conference Grounds are on Presbyterian Hill, about a mile and a half from Hollister in the heart of the Ozarks. Miss Edith Helmer was the executive of the conference; upon her devolved the task of caring for over three hundred college girls. The executive secretaries from each field were her assistants. Each Church Board had its representative there to confer with the girls concerning the work of their respective denominations, to say nothing of the various leaders and speakers. Girls from over sixty different colleges and ten states attended the Conference. Breakfast was served from 6:45 till 8:00 o’clock every morning. At 8:40 all gathered in the tabernacle for morning worship. From 9:00 till 10:00 o’clock the various Bible study classes were held. Some idea of their helpful nature can be gained from the titles of such courses as “God and an Age of Rebuilding,” “The Adventure in Christian Living,” and “The Bible a Guide of Today.” These were led by capable, inspiring men and women. From 10:00 till 11:00 every one either came to the tabernacle to hear an address or joined one of the conference forums. These forums were discussion groups, each group consisting of about twelve girls led by a student chairman. All were seeking the real answer to this question: Just what makes a campus Christian? On the last day of the Conference a committee presented a summary of these discussions. From 11:00 to 12:00 the World Fellowship classes were held. One of the most interesting of these classes followed the line of thought outlined by Dr. Patton in his book, “World Facts and American Responsibility.” Another dealt with the place of the colored race in the world family; still another with South America s place in world life. Lunch was served from 12:00 till 1:15. There were no classes in the afternoon, each one being at liberty to do as she pleased. There were hiking, swimming, and picnic parties every afternoon. Two afternoons parties went to The School of the Ozarks. One other afternoon those who cared to motored up to the big dam on the White River. But the most interesting, trip of all was through the country in wh ich Harold Bell Wright laid the scene of The Shep¬ herd of the Hills.” This trip also included a visit to Marvel Cave. Dinner was served from 5:45 till 7:00. After dinner something always happened. The delegates from the various states took turns entertaining the Conference. One evening the girls from Texas challenged the Kansas girls to a basket ball game. Texas won. In a serial contest of games and stunts between states, Kansas was vic¬ torious and won a cut-glass loving cup. The evening service was held in the tabernacle at 8:00 oclock. Splendid speakers made this hour seem much too short. After the service all proceeded to the rocks overlooking Lake Taneycomo and sang while the sunlight faded and darkness enveloped the world. The lights were turned off at 10:30 and one day of the Confer¬ ence was over. And so the ten days at Hollister passed.

Its members are elected by the student body, and given wide powers in con¬ nection with arrangemefits for forensic activities. The year 1919-20 has been a busy one for the council. Each of the literary societies has participated in two Inter-club debates, and the Forensic Council arranged the details of each debate. The Inter-collegiate schedule required much earnest effort in arrangement of various details. The Forensic Council, however, not only secured contracts and secured judges, but also sent two teams across the state to victory. Two local oratorical contests have been managed successfully, and Park representatives sent to National and Inter-state contests. So all Forensic activities come under the direction of this important council in our Collegiate Life. Professor Burrows, head of the Department of English, is the able faculty advisor. Members of the council this year are: Malcolm Magers, chairman. King Ambler, secretary-treasurer. Wallace Farley. Paul McCluer. Howard McClusky.

Opening with the close college contest, with Howard McClusky as winner, Park has pushed through the State, on for Missouri through the”Di¬ visional, and as Park’s representative in the national contest, McCluskv awaits May 7. In the college contest, thought and delivery were of very high order. There was a serious purpose in every oration, and ease and polish in some were quite near the 100% mark. But it was McClusky who gripped the judges with his sincerity, as he threw himself into the heart of a big subject: The Human Equation. The morning tram of March 6, with engine and cars floating college colors, brought home from Fayette our orator with a State Victory, won over Tarkio, Central Wesleyan, Central and Westminster, by the unanimous decision of the judges. Borne to a white bathtub-mounted float, with the crowd at his heels McClusky proclaimed a Clean Victory.” Then McCormack received him’ There he was not too aloof on his throne but that his fair-haired inspiration could reach his side. With correct decorum he met all modestly. The whole holiday” let free so much pep that it is still perceptible. Interesting as was the above celebration, the next step, the Divisional Contest, took place at Park, April 2, and we venture to say that not one in the audience that night doubted that McClusky would be one of the three chosen for the national contest to be held at Beloit, Michigan, May 7. The representatives from Kansas, North Dakota and our old Mizzou” were chosen. Subjects and speakers were as follows: What Made the Madonna of Raphael”—Florence Aschenbaeh Dakota. South The Human Equation”—Howard McClusky, Missouri. America s Second Line Trench”—Gjems Fraser, North Dakota. “The Testing of a Nation”—Burdette E. Brown, Iowa. The American Spirit”—J.

EDITORIAL Listen, all ye unenlightened mortals who believe that a college paper pub¬ lishes itself, and that the editor has a nice graft in family work; draw near and hearken unto a recital of some of the woes of an editor. What would you do if the printing office should call up at 9:00 p. m. on the night before The Stylus is issued and say, “We lack three galleys?” Would you evaporate into thin air if a trusted reporter ap¬ proached you with this cheerful infor¬ mation: “Say, you know I forgot all about that report—”? If you are wise, you will merely smile sweetly and say, “Oh, never mind; it doesn’t matter in the least. I can do it myself.” Or suppose someone (we won’t fix the blame) “pulled a bone” and your headlines appeared strangely distorted so that we had “Freshmen Players” instead of “Freshmen Scrub”? (We always have wondered if they thought the Althea Players scrubbed.) And occasionally it will happen that there is an overflow of material for which there is no space. How the linotypist does howl with dismay when we ask him to save space by setting eight- point type. (We do love to use these technical terms.) Then there’s that regular Tuesday noon mail from the contestants—“What do you want me to write this week?”—not to mention the day The Yellow Peril appeared and, for a week, we were the most cordially disliked people on the campus. But in spite of rebuffs, disappoint¬ ments and threatened damage suits, we feel that The Stylus has had a profit¬ able year. Much credit is due our busi¬ ness manager, who worked under diffi¬ culties because our staff was elected later in the year than usual. Under the present plan of election on April 1, we look forward to greater success for The Stylus. To Professor Burrowes, for his kindly, helpful suggestions and loyal co-opera¬ tion at all times, we wish to express our heartfelt gratitude. Coming here un¬ acquainted with conditions and cus¬ toms, he has put himself in touch with the students in every possible way, and has proved himself a friend to all. Page 129 Page ISO ANY DAY AT CHAPEL—1 P. M. jUcCormtcfe Cfjapel O F ALL the words of to ngue or pen those most fraught with meaning for the Park College student are the words McCormick Chapel.” The chapel, although geographically only the entrance to the campus, is actually the living center of every phase of student life. In it we are carried from the sublime to the ridiculous and back again to the sublime. Here daily we gather to gaze in rapt attention at him who stands before us and to listen to the words of the speaker with ears that quiver with eagerness (I am not referring only to Charlie White). Here weekly, but irregularly, occur those socializing occasions known as chapel events. Here we have church services, pep meetings, jubilees, missionary talks, movies (educational fillums), celebrations, religious meetings, band concerts and dramas of various kinds! Owing to the conglomerate accumulation of occurrences carried on in our chapel, our emotions become somewhat confused at times as we enter the building; sometimes we laugh in church, frown over some well-meant witticism and sleep through enlightening instructional talks, but never do we fail to appreciate the chapel and what it means to our student life. This year the chapel holds for us a multitude of memories. Early in the fall, as we sat in front of the service flag, Park’s emblem of loyalty and sacrifice, varied stories of the most revolutionizing war of history were brought to us! every phase of the big struggle became familiar to us as it was recounted to us by speakers varying from Mrs. Trulock, the hostess of a Y hut in Brest, to Walter Pierce, the Park man who can relate all the ghastly details of his experiences with a smile. Then, just as after the war, comes the reconstruc¬ tion, so after the war talks came the reconstruction talks. In the chapel, we were instructed and inspired for our future work by experienced men and women. In the chapel we voted on the League of Nations, organized ourselves into a body to help the Korean state, and wondered whether Mr. Do Jigger was a Republican or a Democrat or a Bolsheviki. One night in January the little beans all had dates with the big nuts and went to hear Ralph Parlette lecture on the school whose colors are black and blue and whose yell is Ouch,” the University of Hard Knocks. That evening we all laughed immoderately at the big man who made common sense so interesting and so ridiculously entertaining. Although we were such young and such ambitious students in the university, yet we could appreciate to the ullest the theory of knocks” and mental gymnastics,” and we made many resolutions about being selected” and about always coming to the top of the jar. As we went home from this event, many of us remembered the first of our chapel entertainments, the Y. W. C. A. Minstrels at which those poor girls were compelled to respond Present” to the roll-call of the Freshman boys. That was a heart-breaking occasion.

Park has always played a high class of basket ball and i s really capable of upholding her own among any of the colleges of the Missouri Valley Union. The inter-class series started off with an unusual amount of spirited rivalry and enthusiasm. The Juniors had held the Inter-class trophy for two years, and it was becoming almost imperative that some team brea their string of successive victories. The first games were played on November 15, 1919, the Freshmen meeting the Juniors and the Seniors mixing up with the Sophomores. The Juniors took the Freshies into camp to the tune of 52 to 29. Layman and Cameron starred with 13 and 9 goals, respectively. The Seniors fell before the Sopho¬ mores, taking the small end of a 50—12 score, barely short of a slaughter. Doty scored 20 points for his team. Kirkpatrick was a close second with 18. On November 22 the Freshies defeated the Seniors 35 to 20, while the Sophomores took the Juniors’ number in the hardest fought and best game of the series, 30—26. On November 29 the Seniors lost, 35—10, their opponents being the Juniors, while the Sophomores vanquished the young aspirants of 1923 by the score of 23 _12. (We fear it would not do justice to the two classes if we failed to mention that their best players did not participate in this game. The “flunkin’’ list had gone out.) The cup was awarded to the Sophomores, whose record was perfect with three victories and no defeats. The Seniors landed in the cellar. However, they still maintained their dignity in spite of their crushing defeats. The interclub series was won by Parchevard, who played a series of five hotly contested games with Orion. Intense interest was aroused and the series was so close that the fifth game was necessary to decide the champion¬ ship. The teams were so evenly matched that no one dared predict the possible winner. The first game was played on February 16 and resulted in a victory for Parchevard after five minutes of extra play. Van Dyke led the scoring for Parchevard with 23 points. The score was 41—37. In the second game on February 23, Orion came back strong and won comparatively easy, 40 _32. Oltman and Kirkpatrick led in points for their respective teams. On February 28 Parchevard took a spurt that sent her to victory, 31—26. Both teams put up a splendid exhibition of clean, fast basket ball and it was evident that the followers of the sport would no doubt have the privilege of witnessing a fifth game. On the following Saturday night Parchevard, having determined to end the series with that night’s game, came out on the floor full of “pep” and enthusiasm. But Orion had worked hard and was equally Page 136 determined. The game resulted in an Orion victory. Parchevard was out¬ classed in every department of the game and although she fought bravely she fell by a margin of 18 points, the largest of the series. It is useless to describe the tenseness of the atmosphere and the mingling of doubt and confidence which permeated the camps of the opposing armies during the next week. We need only to say that the spirit of friendly rivalry between the clubs was at its highest. The deciding game was played on March 13. Parchevard led at the end of the half 13—9. The margin of 4 points, however reassuring, was not convincing proof of a final victory. How¬ ever in the last half, the Purple and Gold gradually wore down the stubborn defense of the Buff and Green and by bringing into play the best team work they had displayed during the series, scored enough to make the victory decisive. The final score was 37—24. Thus ended a splendid series, full of interest, displaying some excellent basket ball and good sportsmanship. The individual and team points are as follows: F. G. F. T. Total Orion. 168 Van Dyke. . 33 10 76 Parchevard 164 Kirkpatrick. . 24 27 75 Oltman. . 20 6 46 Burford. . 18 0 36 Doty. . 14 0 28 Findlay. 11 0 22 Miller. 11 0 22 L. Wallace. . 6 1 13 K. Manning. 4 0 8 D. Porter. . 3 0 6 After the interclub series the college team was organized and after two weeks’ practice under Captain Kirkpatrick the team met the Olympics of Kansas City on the home floor. The game was unusually rough but exciting. Five minutes’ extra play was necessary for the Olympics to win, 38—34. Mc¬ Farland played a stellar game at forward for Park. On the 29th of March the Park Quintet met the Schmelzer Tigers from K. C. This team was composed of the stars from the champion amateur team of the city. They put up a splendid exhibition of basket ball, although they mixed with it a few football tactics. Park lost, 45—27. Peabody and Fox starred for the visitors. As the season was far spent the team disbanded after having elected McFarland for captain for the following year. The two games were well attended and certainly speak well for Park’s increasing intercollegiate spirit. It is hoped we will be a member of the Missouri Valley Conference next year.

P ucanon Page 145 Page 1- 6 terrace Cottage A ND IT CAME TO PASS in the first year of Miss Cole’s house-mothership at lerrace Cottage, that the dwellers of that house did have an enjoyable year. We would hate to record in these pages all the sneak feeds we had; further- more we would hate to record all the squelchings, demerits, and restrictions to which we meek and unsuspecting young maidens were subjected. But we did enjoy the.taffy pull, Edna’s feed and the wedding. Of course the taffy didn’t get done in the former, but bobbing for apples was more fun than that. . L I 1 don ’ t believe any of us will forget easily the big feed Edna Riddle brought with her when she visited us the week-end before her death. Edna was one of the sunniest and peppiest of the Terracites and after leavings school had always wanted to come back to give us a surprise feed. She certainly did, and as it was Valentine time she had a great big cake made heart-shaped, covered with white icing and with Terrace Cottage written in red across it. Besides that, there were sandwiches, eggs, pickles, cocoa and ice cream. The wedding of Miss Oleo Glendale Hasty-pudding to Mr. Nebuchadnezzar Perking took place at Terracinia. The bride wore a beautiful dress with a lace curtain veil and carried a bouquet of pine needles. The groom wore gray trousers and vest, slightly too big, and had grown a lovely goatee and side whiskers for the occasion. After the ceremony, performed by the Rev. Habakkuk Show’em Home, a sumptous dinner was provided by the bride’s mother. We hope all Terrace girls will have as thrilling a future ceremony. GILLETTE SECRETS Listen, schoolmates, and you shall hear Of the memories of old Gillette so dear. From September till June in nineteen and twenty, Gillette had fun, and fun a plenty. We had feeds’n everything that’s enticing, And ofttimes even a bakerizing. And oh, those good old pillow fights Are wonderful after blink of lights. You ne’er could find a crowd so merry, As the one which in Gillette does tarry. If our cherished secrets you wish to know, Just read the lines which follow below. This dorm has in it elflike fairies, Because a Brownie therein tarries. The Garden of Eden you’ll surely find, And Adam and Eve in here decline. Now we Gillettites extend cheers, For our beloved matron, Mother Beers. And Daddie and “Freddie” we always find Are good old sports at any time. Rah, Sis Boom Bah! Gillette!

It was with a feeling of great pride that they introduced the new students to this handsome new dormitory. As the mellow days of October passed, and the spirit of Hallowe’en showed itself here and there thruout the campus and the village, it became necessary to call in solemn conclave all the inhabitants of Copley-Thaw, and to institute once more the proceedings of the Kangaroo court. The charge was not for a Hallowe en prank but for a much more grave offense. The offender was ac¬ cused of inspecting rooms for the housemother, and of leaving in rooms of questionable cleanliness notes of horrible portent which sniffed of demerits and housemotherly wrath. The court, after deep and weighty deliberation, rendered a verdict of guilty. The penalty, a “baker’s dozen,” was straightway adminis¬ tered by a committee of Copley’s huskiest wielders of the broom. Soon after this the dedication of the building and the first open house took place. After days of scrubbing and cleaning up, the building was thrown open for inspection. For the first time in the history of the dormitory, bevies of girls were permitted to wander up and down its sacred halls. The solemn dedicatory service followed. Dr. Hawley read the scripture and Dr. W. C. Templeton offered the prayer of dedication. Homer B. Mann, President of the Board of Trustees, was speaker of the evening. Mrs. Thaw was not present but had already inspected the results of her generosity and had found them good. Punch was served outside under a Japanese arch. Thru the long winter months time flowed quietly, disturbed only occa¬ sionally bv a jazz concert in the lobby or a bakerizing in the front yard, until the eve of St. Patrick s Day. For many weeks the committee had been arrang¬ ing for the Copley promenade in honor of St. Patrick. This affair was planned to eclipse all previous efforts. The guests were met at the door by the head butler, Glo er Daniels, ex-footman to his lordship, Earl of Sarsaparilla, pro¬ cured at great expense tor the evening. He brought with him a corps of ex¬ perienced butlers, Hoskins Martin, Jones Perkins, Appleby Oltman and Piles Acosta. After the distribution of favors by the butlers, King Ambler, master of ceremonies, announced the grand march. Each man with his lady strolled thru the halls and around the lobby, passing the “Orpheum,” the famous room ‘ 202, the “Blue Goose and numerous other places of interest. A varied program followed. Alden’s jazz orchestra played during the refreshments which were served by imported waiters under the direction of an expert maitre- cle-hotel from Delmonico, Arthur McCall. This famous chef had exerted all of his talent in producing an exquisite delicacy in a green and white color com¬ bination. The promenade broke up to the strains of “Home, Sweet Home.” The Copley boys plan to honor St. Patrick in this way every year. Page 1 9 Page 150 WHOOP’ER UP FOR CANARY AND THE WINE!’ “Oh rally round our Banner, Lift it on high; Long may our colors wave-” ’Twas the first refrain that greeted us that bleak December day four years ago when we made acquaintance with Park. We had gathered in the Chapel and as I looked at its scarred walls and general dilapidation a faintness crept over me and my spirits fell to the zero point, matching the weather. And then the splendid old chorus began from the full throated enthusiastic young audience, breathing loyalty and love, and like the effervescence of the ocean spray my spirits rose, and from then on I was at home. We have all laughed at Chapel speakers as in subtle compliment they speak of our “Unique Institution.” We know we are “It.” But just what does make our Park so different? ’Member the silly little song “Who Killed Cock Robin?” And strange to say there were many besides the pert little sparrow that flamingly declared their guilt. Each of you if asked just what it is about our college that makes it so doubly near and dear would doubtless give a different answer. Each would have a new day and a fresh incident. I too would have mine. One day I think it is the devotion of our trustees; another time I think it is the unfailing optimism of the President under his heavy uphill load. Again it comes to me with real pathos that it is the Faculty, who serve far away, outside, and in various ways from the classroom periods stated in the catalog. A crisis comes, and I am sure it is the sacrificial gifts of those who have never seen the campus. Then I see and feel the fervid enthusiasm of the student body, and I am sure it is their joyous contagious spirit that makes it so worth while. A few days ago a Copley-Thaw boy came in and as we visited of course we talked of Park. His eyes shone with warmth and affection as he said: “Don’t you think it is because we all put our very souls into Park that makes it what it is?” And there was the answer full and strong. Everyone who has done his best through the years that have come and gone has contributed to the sweetness and the secret of the place. Each of us will have outstanding memories and associations. Stories could be written about every gathering place on our beloved campus, whether dormitory or Chapel, or the many “ trysting ” places of “feed bent bunches” (how I have loved to watch them, as like the bright coloring of a ribbon they pass by our house on the trail to falling springs). The orchard, Tiffany Tavern, the Spring Park with its first aid to Cupid or the “spoon holder;” it may be the village street or Observatory Hill where your memories will cluster. But silhouetted against lazily floating silver and purple clouds, the minaretted towers of old Mackay represent, after all, the everything of Park. The President’s Wife. Page 151 Page 152 FOREIGN-BORN STUDENTS LEAGUE OF FRIENDS OF KOREA In response to the startling political conditions that have been developing m Korea for years since the Japanese first set foot on the peninsula and es¬ pecially in the last year when the Korean people have been making a passive fight for fieedom, a number of prominent Americans met in Philadelphia, Pa., last year and formed an organization which has been named the League of Friends of Korea. Since the organization of this first branch the movement has spread until there are Leagues established from coast to coast. It is the object of this League to inform the American public as to the true condition in the Far East; to extend sympathy and encouragement to the op¬ pressed people of Korea in their struggle for freedom; to use its moral influence to prevent the recurrence of cruel treatment to which the Koreans have been subjected, and to secure religious liberty to the Korean Christians. Aroused by a chapel talk by Prof. H. B. Hulbert on conditions in Korea, a group of men who sympathize heartily with the Koreans met and organized a local college branch of the League. Under the guiding counsel of Prof. M. H. Wilson the movement is making good headway. The local officers are: Presi¬ dent, Frank Miller; Vice-Presidents, Darst Newhouse and Fred Leonard; Sec¬ retary, C larke L. Foster; Treasurer, Jarvis S. Morris.

Barrel Rush, Basket Ball and Debate came one after another as victories in our Freshman year. Was not this a high standard of scholarship? Hard was the ground and gory the fight in the first named contest but we showed our opponents the correct way to roll a barrel. When the basket ball season began we supposed from the dark remarks made by the other classes that they thought we had as much chance of winning as a celluloid dog would have in chasing an asbestos cat through Dante’s Inferno, but when the smoke of battle cleared away, well— In the scrap we discovered the fact that the Sophomores had had to hire a steeple jack to climb Mackay for them, who, however, caught his jaw on an unseen foot or club and rent the sky open with his flowery eloquence. We sur¬ mised, although we weren t positive, that the steeple jack earned his lucre. M e also returned the early compliment by tying up the Sophomores. Then to our everlasting glory, although Malcolm Magers made a brilliant show of oratory, the Sophomores met defeat when the evening of the debate came. Crowned with the laurels of success” we bade Park good-bye in June. We returned in the fall of T8 to imbibe some more from the fount of knowl tot n The War put . a dam P er on most of the usual fireworks, but with “Bud” McCall as our President we gave the Freshmen a little surprise party. We demonstrated the latest wrinkle in the art of tying up Freshmen. To show that we were still alive, we challenged the Freshmen to a barrel rush. This was the same old history stuff with the same old result. The Blue and Gold won the day by twenty-five feet. Men had joined the army. Almost all who came back were in the so-called i f t . ernoon Tea Club, putting aside the Blue and Gold for the good o c Red, W hite and Blue, the colors ‘ that never run.” But when Kaiser Bill had swallowed the last pill of defeat, we returned to battle for the Blue and Gold. This year we came back ready to give our advice to the Freshmen. “Be sure that all the Sophs are in town. Remember last fall when efforts were wasted because two-thirds of the Sophs were in Kansas City.” Then we sat and looked on as the dramas were enacted, in which we could no longer par¬ ticipate. Our hearts, however, were not aching. Only in basket ball we now met our first, and most crushing defeat, and away went our two years’ championship. Nevertheless, ahead we see the Junior-Senior Banquet and Oratorical with high hopes in ’21. Page 159 INDUSTRIAL PAGE Juniors believe in work. We are staunch in support of the industrial side of our life. We show you here some specials. (Besides the three R ' s, Park has also “Firing and milking and sawing wood.”) We thought you would like to see where Andy blinks the lights “twice” when we get a telegram, preparatory to a holiday. Also, the Park dairy which has made Bentley Barnes and Frances Harvey so fat and is the source of the foundation of Catherine Bray’s Mellin’s Food. The last is to cool your fevered brain next summer by forcibly reminding you of heatless days.

You will note five Juniors in natural surroundings. However, we are interested in cases in general, therefore we put Margaret, Corinne, Dick and Tom in. We were surprised and hurt to find this snap of Mary D. It was our duty to publish it. We only hope that the pipe is so small that Dr. Hawley will not notice it. PARK DEFEATS WILLIAM JEWELL April 1 was a gala day for both William Jewell and Park students, for their respective deans had granted them sweet permission to attend the annual poker game at Convention Hall in Kansas City. The big hall was densely crowded with seething, swaying, yelling humanity, clamoring for the appearance of their beloved gladiators. Thick clouds of smoke filled the tense atmosphere. Pep was never so abundant, for in all the long years of competition these two seats of learning had been violently in rivalry with one another. Each had produced some brilliant stackers in the past and victory had tossed about in the fickle urn of Fate and left the count knotted at ten victories each. This was the rubber contest. Suddenly tumultuous applause shook the rafters as the brilliantly caparisoned Jewell gang arrived in their resplendent dress suits and seated themselves at the green plush table. They looked very proud and seemed to breathe forth victory from every pore. And then the Park bunch arrived in the Glee Club suits. They made an odd contrast with the shining light? of the opposition, for through years of valient service the Glee Club suits had become somewhat dilapidated. The faculty of both schools wdio had ringside seats and seemed to be eagerly expecting a good poker contest, were quick to notice the difference, and Dr. Hawley was heard to tell Professor Sanders that our men must be given better raiment before the next contest. Our men, tho’ entirely un¬ daunted, decided to put up a stiff front and they would have succeeded well enough if the laundry had only put more starch in. Amid great cheers from both sides of the house, Mayor Cowgill welcomed the contestants to his fair city of ghost votes and repeaters. Then he called on Professor ilson to offer the invocation. Dean Wells then rendered a vocal solo. The referee’s name had been kept a dark secret and a great shout of joy went up from the Park side when Dr. H. L. Moore of Lincoln, Illinois, stepped out and announced that he wasn’t afraid of anybody and would be master of ceremonies. Captain Ziegler of Park won the toss and chose to deal. Ah, that was a coup d ' etat. Captain Ray Settle of William Jewell chose to open but ft U. S TKj -w„ ' To- O w. . 3- -fcL 4+fi. 0. J . I Uw6 r-uz. Pflfiie 76 j Harry Taylor raised him. Roy Porter of Jewell raised him to ten and so it went until finally Captain Ziegler called the deal and it was discovered that both Ziegler and Love held four aces. There was quite an argument over the matter but Referee Moore declared all bets off. A new deck was sent for and then Captain Settle of Jewell dealt. Apparently he was a good stacker but he stacked them the wrong way, for Roy Zimmer had a full house. And in the same way, time after time, Park won and finally the Jewell captain admitted defeat. Referee Moore then awarded the contest to Park. The award was important because with it Park won a substantial side bet which will aid mightily in the building of the new Presbyterian (Dance) Hall. The members of Park’s winning team, all Juniors, were as follows: Captain Ziegler, Harry Taylor, Glover Daniel, Howard Doole, Charles White, Royal Zimmer and Dewey Van Dyke. These men have all shown rare ability at stacking the deck and are eligible for degrees of distinction in the new poker fraternity recently established. C. L. F.

Gathered from the distant waterfalls or generated by the steam turbine, electric power is transmitted to the busiest city or the smallest country place. Through the co-ordination of inventive genius with engineering and manufacturing resources, the General Electric Company has fostered and developed to a high state of perfection these and numerous other applications. And so electricity, scarcely olderthan the grad¬ uate of today, appears in a practical, well de¬ veloped service on every hand. Recognize its power, study its applications to your life’s work, and utilize it to the utmost for the benefit of all mankind. j4rc Welding Page 171 FEEDS Page 172 ELLIOTT LUMBER and HARDWARE CO.

Page 183 KANSAS CITY THE STUDENT’S GREATEST ASSET The student’s greatest asset is Kansas City. With all the equipment and teaching force of the Central Business College, if it were located in any of the towns within the 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 financial and business headquaters of a large part of Missouri, all of Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Colorado. This means that Kansas City employs a very large per¬ cent of all the stenographers, book keeepers and general office help in this entire territory. Kansas City is making more rapid strides in a business way now than ever before and great financiers all over the country are constantly making the asser¬ tion 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 purpose in attending school. First to secure a practical education. Second, 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.

Page 188 jWemtters of tfje Jiffaff The members of the Staff have been subjected to a great many brilliant remarks about the amount of money they must be making from the 1920 Narva. One of the most brilliant was addressed to the Business Manager. It is, “You must be making a lot of money off the Narva. I see you had a new pair of shoestrings for Easter.” In order to disillusion the public the Staff wishes to publish the following: FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF THE 1920 NARVA ASSETS LIABILITIES Sale of copies. $1400.00 Printing. $1350.00 Advertising. 500.00 Engraving. 600.00 Cash received for running Extra photographic work to slams. 188.00 make the Facultv and Her- Bribes (to keep out slams).... 115.00 rick look wise. 64.00 Redemption of pictures of Suits for libel. 51 28 friends of the staff. 26.00 Salary to Business Manager Editor’s aesthetic ideas. .27 tor cleaning office. 10. 75 Cash received for glimpses of Cough Syrup for Ass’t Business club groups in Narva office .. 40.00 Manager after trying to sell Threlkeld an ad. 1.00 Total. $2269.27 Smoking tobacco. .24 (We roll our own) Chewing tobacco. 11.00 Gold cuspidor and engraving for same. 75.00 Reimbursement to artists for loss of socializing at 10c an hour. 50.00 Paid Parkville Fire Depart- ment to keep Ass’t Bus.

The purpose of this organization is to stimulate progress in, and to promote the interests of intercollegiate oratory, debate and public speaking by encouraging a spirit of intercollegiate fellowship, of brotherly co-operation and interest, and by conferring upon deserving candidates a badge of distinction, proficiency and honor varied and graduated according to merit and achievement. Two of our members have the degree of special distinction. Howard McClusky, our president, of the order of Oratory-Debate, won the Western Divisional Oratorical and was a member of a Park Debating team. Elmer Norrington of the order of Oratory won the Prohibition Interstate Oratorical. Charles White holds the degree of honor in the order of Debate. He has been on three winning intercollegiate debating teams. Two men hold the degree of proficiency. Lowell Beers, order of Oratory, won second in the Missouri State Oratorical. Edward Locher has represented Park on two winning debating teams. The degree of fraternity in the order of debate is merited by being a mem¬ ber of one intercollegiate debating team. Our men holding this degree are: Francis Bouquet, D. Rolla Simpson, Morris Zutrau and Roy Zimmer. The keys are jewelled differently so that a glance at a Pi Kappa Delta’s key will reveal his order and degree. Pi Kappa Delta has a definite policy of expansion. It does not limit its number of chapters as some other forensic organizations do. Since its organiza¬ tion in 1912 at Ottawa University the chapter roll has grown to twenty-six chap¬ ters—a growth we believe to be unexcelled by any other forensic organization. Our membership will assist in procuring desirable debate schedules with other colleges. It will also give us material recognition for our high standing in debate and oratory. There is an honor and distinction to the individual who earns his key, which is recognized all over the country. A man receives his key after having taken part in one intercollegiate debate or oratorical con¬ test. He then holds the degree of fraternity. There are four degrees—fra¬ ternity, proficiency, honor, and special distinction. (Editor’s note.—This article was placed in this section, not because of its unimportance, but because it came in too late to go in with the Forensic section.) Page 190 McCORMICK CHAPEL —Continued from Page 131 In March there was another gathering of the animals into the Chapel by twos and twos. This time the Althea Players entertained us with music and readings which were enjoyed unanimously. It is a strange fact that the boys cannot tell much about the actual entertainment of that evening, but they can very vividly draw a picture of the girl in pink with the great big eyes and the bewitching smile. During the spring our recollections of the Chapel become a vast mingling of glee club, debate, band and orchestra, divisional contests, and many victory celebrations. Only one event comes vividly and unforgetably to the memory. Those Juniors and their tacky day cannot be overlooked. Their pep and their especial taste in dress are such that the whole campus looks to them for guidance and inspiration. Never will the Chapel goers fail to recall with joy the Junior Fashion Show. Commencement and the Chapel are linked together inseparably. When Commencement is over the Chapel becomes a place of empty benches and a voiceless rostrum. Next year there will be a new story to tell. IF YOU CRAVE EXCITEMENT Offer Dean Wells a cigarette. Call Dorcas Howard Banty.” Tell Leonard he is a Bolsheviki. Denounce evolution before Prof. Findlay.

If your picture has not appeared as often as you think it should, or if your name has not been mentioned in the roast section, we are sorry but can only say: “We h ave done what we could. ' ’ C.We wish to express our deepest apprecia¬ tion to Prof. H. McC.
