The youngest member of the class, he was unanimously elected its president. Practical and hard-headed to a fault, he is nevertheless most sus- ceptible to feminine charms and has had more bad cases than any other man in college. Is famous for his toast, To the Rose-bud Garden of Girls. Never becomes over-enthusiastic and would argue the point if 'told that Saturday was the last day in the week. 22 '-'T' -'I X ' -.

Arizona, Coffee The girl with the hearty laugh ancl tall enthusiasm, who can get enjoyment out of nothing and make you feel that life is one grand, sweet song, unless she decides to study, which operation is distinctly depressing. Her mistakes are mostly those of extreme youth and her strength of character is felt wherever she is. Nettie Nyle Donovan . ....................

One who says little, lbut takes in everything. Her laugh is of the variety known as a giggle and is a sure cure for the blues. Wheii she makes a break she is covered with confusion and makes you promise not to tell. She has her own opinions, and one is that there is more in college life than books. n Claudius Elmer Downard ........,......... Fairfield A man who's not afraid to say his say Though a whole to1vn's against him. Wall5ing to the mail. Pat, Soup-bone. Has carried the heaviest college work of any member of the class and with the jauntiest grace imaginable. Does his part in everything and never throws bouquets at himself.

Austin, Minn. Thou art perfect in love lore. Her Ivayslare ways of pleasantness And all her paths are peace. Margie With her quick grace and smiling face she is here and there in a minute. On the lookout for the good in everyone, and says little about the bad. Music and song occupy a great held of her activity. All love to hear her sing and she gives willingly of her talent. Choir and chorus rehearsals, walks to and strolls from them take much of her time. Bright in all her classes and a favorite among her pro- fessors. I just can't talk slow. Edith Marguerite Foster .................. Ottumwa True as a diamond: modest and utterly unselfshg A most lvomanly soul, full alilfe of strength and tenderness. Bede, Little T. D. With her father's long head and generous heart. Exhibits great dignity when running to a class. High principled and devoted to truth, but withal, entirely feminine and lovable. Spent her Freshman year getting square with the credit system, as a Sophomore she studied Athletics, its poetry and director, and this year she is making grades. Hubert Elmer Howard ....... .... F airfield Some to the church repair, Not for the doctrine, but for the music there. Virtue, wisdom, valour, strength, comeliness of shape. Babu One of l909's stars. So penetrating is his light that it pierces 'through the covers of his texts on the way to classes and absoribs just the right things. A man of great executive ability when the plan you wish him to execute happens to coincide with his own. Of high principles and strength of character, an all-around athlete. Has dis- tinguished himself along dramatic lines and as a debater. Lately has shown a remarkable interest in music. 24 ff lbw Y l lVlary Effie Lee .............. lVlarash, Turkey, Asia Black were lier eyes as llze berry lliat grew by the way- side. - And did much good worlg and was beloved by all who lfnew her. lVlerrily.

On a warm evening in the f-,il i autumn of l904, four boys and three girls, having risen to the It Q dignity of third year Preps and having evaded the vigilance of their mammas and the dean, met at the old cider mill on the outskirts of Fairfield and organized as the class of 1909. Who could then have conceived of the present Junior Class, with its brilliant record of achievements, its thirteen loyal members possessing enterprise enough to edit the first Col- lege Annual, and talent enough to present the best class play seen in years? Where lives the man whose imagination could have pictured the happenings of their Freshman year, when the few who had survived the Prep commencement of 1905 found them- selves, a small part of a large and spirited class, ready for anything considered part of college life? How, though grea'tly outnunibered, in the class scrap, their boys fought to the finish and then ugirding their tattered raiment about their heroic loins, posed for a , picture! Or how, the following spring, they burlesqued the Senior recognition service and appeared in chapel in kimonas and dunce caps, were unceremoniously fired and ate New Chicago pies in view of the chapel windows! Oh, those were wonderful days and Fine! Fine! Superfine! was heard ringing through the night air as often as l'liyi, Kiyi. Everyone knew about f the Class of l909. Reunited in their Sophomore year, with a few additions and subtractions, things moved on as before with more class spirit and more excitement than ever. The faculty 27 as-Qu-11 considered that they committed an extravaga extravagance was on 'the part of the boys who times.

Once upon a time, not so very long ago, there came to the Land o' Parsons some people whom the inhabitants called Freshmen. not that they were fresh, Oh, no, but because it was customary, you know. These Freshies fthat's a nickname, were so cute that everyone was just crazy over them. Then too, they were so smart and original that they never cut classes nor did silly things like that. Bye-and-bye they wanted some class colors, so people could tell them from the Seniors fthe folks that have learned all there is to be known in the Land, so they went out into the country where the Sophomores fthe people who think they know so muchl couldn't find them. But the Sophs fthat's another nicknamej did find them, and what do you think? the Freshies sent them home! It was the funniest thing ever. Besides this, the next day the Freshies beat the Sophs in the class scrap, too. One night after a big snowfall they took two of the biggest bob-sleds and went far away to an oyster supper. They had a lollypaloozer time, you know. Then, once the boys gave a banquet to the girls and then the girls gave the boys a dinner party. They were swell affairs, and the Sophs were awfully sore because they hadn't thought of doing such things. But then the Freshies were so cute and original, you know. Another time they all cut chapel and went down to the Crow to have a picnic, but those Sophs stole the grub, but the Freshies didn't care-honest they didn't-because they weren't the least bit hungry. Then at the end of the year they had a farewell pic- nic on Cedar, and it was a glorious time they had. Now these Freshies are Sophomores, and they still do the most original things. At the First of the year they got out edicts with rules and advice to 191 l, which were the funniest things yet. Then later on the girls played basket 'ball with the Freshies, and beat them. Wasn't that great? This class of l9lO will soon be Juniors, and they will just keep on doing cute and original things, in spite of the fact that they will be properly dignified, and all 'the other classes will say they are the smartest yet. 33 CLASS OF I9lI N A Class of1911.

I herewith make public my report upon the- tablets recently discovered in this Middle West, in that country anciently known, so we 'learn from its monuments, as Iowa. T he tablets are of great archaelogical value. I shall now give you their contents, as I have deciphered them. The first dates back to the year 1907, thirty centuries ago. I. September l8, l907. O Sun in the Heavens! hath ever thine Eye, that seeth all, beheld so wondrous a scene l The great class, the Freshman Class of Parsons College, today matriculated, thou, O Sun, saw. Did not the editor of 'I' he Portfolio admire and wonder? Did not the Soph- omores grow' pale and tremble? Did not the officers of the literary societies rush to and fro? Did not the HY. W.'s 'serve chocolate and wafers in 'the Rest Room? Did not the President, from the sacred Forum, declare You are welcome? O sun, the world is new again! , : fr 36 FRESHMAN HISTORY.-CConlinued.J II. September 26, !907. A winding, classic Crow! Thou art made famous! Thou wert near the scene of conflict! It was after chapel. The black and gold floated everywhere. Upon the green the champions met and anon clasped Mother Earth in fond embrace. Ye Gods of Greece and Rome, that ye had been there to see yourselves outdone! O Homer! that thou couldst have written up the scrap for The Portfolio! Alas! the mending basket has overflowed itself and the sticking plaster is quite used up! III. O Muse, I will sing the praises of the Freshman. He is lord of the earth. His hands are full of fudge, a pen sticketh behind his ear. He hears that toot of the automolbile and heeds not. He loatheth 'the Sophomores. He playeth basket-ball. He writeth poetry for Aldine and maketh oyster soup for Empyrean. He lilleth Orio with his wisdom and maketh posters for Elzevir. There is none like him. V. February 29, I908. The photographer has covered himself with glory. He has taken a picture of the Freshmen. They were many. They made speeches one to another. The photographer said unto them: Be silent, O noisy ones. The camera snapped and snapped again. Every mouth broke forth into shouts of joy. O picture of the Freshmen, you shall adorn The Peira! 37 YK : ' Mmm fzA www L QA ACADEMY. THI EAR. well J SECOND YEAR. Chauncey M. Collins Gertrude Farnum Everett L.

The happy, expectant throng is filling the Grand to the doors. The Seniors have marched in, and have been received with enthusiasm by the under classmen. Proud relatives have traveled miles to see their loved ones tread the boards, and eagerly await the curtain's rise. Miss Fisher, the accomplished Junior girl, is pounding the piano with her usual vigor, and everything seems to be running smoothly. But behind the scenes- l'm not going to wear that wig, there is no sense in looking like a fool. Look, are my side-burns on straight? Can you girls possibly hurry? It is getting so late. Keep that poodle still. Now, 'Krapf let him alone. Some one send a fboy to the Dorm for lVlyrtle's black waist. Certainly, give sn him anything, only make him hurry. O, 'Else,' your make-up is too heavy. Mercy yes, you look 'awful.' I don't care. V!here is my tin pan? Of course, I need it in the second act. Did anyone bring a needle and thread? Look, does my skirt hang 'even?' Someone choke that clog. What are all these little boys doing up here? O, you look killing. , I'm perfectly calm. There is no sense in getting nervous. This isn't a circum- stance to a Foster Prize Debate. 'lNhere's the boy with the waist. What, he couldn't find it l I l What shall I do? O, 'Yode,' you have on a black one: give it to Myrtle. O, never mind. you can surely lind something. No one will ever notice what you have on. Yes, we are doing our best to hurry. Places for the first act. HO. I know I'll forget! What is my 'clue?' Where's my hat? All ready. Cheer up, Nlaryg keep cool and talk loud. I And the play was on. 59 ' LEWIS BALDWIN PARSONS. PARSONS COLLEGE. I 875-I 908.

UPARTINC IS SUCH SWEET SORROWY' In the graduation of this year's Senior Class, Parsons College loses a man of great executive ahility. For four years Mr. Frank Clay Raney has done what he could to manage the affairs of the students, the faculty, the trustees and the Preps. While we regret his departure from our midst, we willingly sacrifice ourselves that we may send him forth to show the world. AT PEIRA SY AFF MEETING. Oliver fto editor in chiefj: Now can you tell me just what per cent of the An- nuals have Creek names? IN PSYCHOLOGY CLASS.

Prof. C-age fbefore a quizzj: As I gaze into your faces I wonder how it happens that I am reminded of the Sahara Desert? 79 Tennyson as Quoted by the juniors. Miss Smiley closes the door on all tardy ones and with her usual dignity seats herself at her desk, while the class, with different expressions of haste, are trying to learn a quotation. She opens her books and the recitation begins. Miss Smiley: Miss Lee, will you give us the quotation in the beginning of the lesson? Mary Lee: The one about 'There is confusion?' I didn't know we were to learn it till I came to class. Miss Smiley: Yes, I assigned it a week ago last Saturday. Mr. Howard? Hubert Howard: I thought we were to make our own selection, so I learned, 'They sat down upon the yellow sand.' Miss Smiley: Your choice is rather brief and incomplete in itself: if it were prolonged a little it would be very good. Miss Foster, will you give us 'the assigned one? Edith Foster fbeigns hesitatinglyj: 'There is confusion worse than death, Trouble on pain . . . trouble on . . .' Why, I'm afraid I've forgotten that, but I knew it last night at Play Practice. Miss Smiley: Miss Whitmer? Myrtle Whitmer: I haven't it, ibut I can give the one you .asked for yesterday. fAnd proceeds 'to give it.J E Miss Smiley: 'Better late than never.' Miss Aurelie Zichy, are you prepared on today's? Aurelie Zichy: I didn't like the sentiment 'of that one, so I learned another instead. Miss Smiley: Next, Elsie Zichy: That poem wasn't in my book. Miss Smiley: Will you help us our, Mr. Downard? Claude Downard: Why I can't give it myself, but it is right there in the book. Miss Smiley: Mr. Wirtz, I will have to ask you for this fated quotation. Oliver Wirtz fgiving all and a few lines beyondl. Miss'Smiley: Thank you, that is far enough, Mr. Wirtz. 80 SOPH CYCLGPFEDIA.

There, little Freshie, don't cry, They have guyed you so much, I know, They have hazed you, too, Till you're black and blue, But it's all of the long ago. Just wait, your turn will soon come by, There, little Freshie, don't cry. There, little Soph, don't cry. Your pride had a fall, I knowg Your small head swelled Until folks rebelled, But never mind, let it go. Your Junior year will soon come by, There, little Soph, don't cry. There, little Junior, don't cry, You think you're in love, I knowg You gaze at the moon Like a fried-eyed loon When you stroll by the classic Crow. But Senior dignities soon come by, There, little Junior, don't cry. There, noble Senior, don't cry, 'Tis hard to be great, I know: The cap and gown Bring too much renown And you wish for the long ago. But the great wide world will soon come by There, noble Senior, don't cry. There, poor old Grad, don't cry, It's up to you now, I know: The world is cold And wise and old, And it's hard to make things go. But you'll succeed if you only try, There. poor old Grad, don't cry. 84 DID YOU EVER DREAM-M That you would get an A under Professor Silver? That Bill Krapfel would ever get a move on? That the book store was open when you wanted something? That Miss Smiley's exams would be short? That the gym was going up next year? That it was easy to get out a Junior Annual? That you would see Moyer and not hear his voice? That Prof. Wirtz gave you a kind look? That Ellis Welch forgot How it happened in Bedford? That Allie Mitchell ceased to tell about Last year at Tabor? That the Librarian smiled at a Prep? That it was healthy 'to cut chapel? That you could enjoy a quiet talk with your inamorata and not get ubawled out?' That Miss Pattison would ever fail to illustrate with a story about Tarkio? Wl1al's the use of dreaming? A BRILLIANT Guess. Miss Smiley is trying to discover whether her Tennyson class is in possession of the information that they have been reading about the nightingale under a classical name. ln the expression, 'The song of the bulbul,' what is meant by the 'bulbul?' she questions, encouragingly. ' The chill of abashed ignorance sweeps over the class and she is aibout to administer the deserved reprimand when she sees the glint of a dawning idea in a pair of blue eyes. Miss Foster, what is a 'bulbul?' A bulbulf' answers Miss Foster, wi'th the manner of one walking over a slippery pavement, Why a bulbul is a bull-frog. 85 Un ' Department ...L 1 1 , . H!

Burton: When a young lady makes a leap-year call, should you press her to remain? Answer: Ask Bruce Findlay. I-le has had unlimited experience along that line. - A Freshman: I am trying to get through college as comfortably as possible. Will you please put me next to a few little guide posts on the path of peace! Answer: Dont :be too quiet in the library or you will be called down. When you meet a Sophomore remove your hat and apologize for living. Keep off the grass. Don't fuss another fellow's girl if he isibigger than you are. Blanche: How shall I comb my hair? Answer: Don't bother to comb it. The artistically careless fashion you have adopted heretofore is quite fetching. ' Sandy: Tell me some real cute and original ways in which a crowd of four could have their pictures taken. Answer: After investigating your previous poses I find it impossible to contort the human body and household furniture into a new combination. Myrtle: Can you give me some suggestions for my spring wardrobe? Answer: Brown veils borrowed from the faculty ladies are fashionable for the head. There will be new styles in shirt waists which cannot be borrowed from your room-mate. An Outsider: What is the use of a college yell? Answer: Its uses are varied. According to James' theory of emotions, it fos- ters college spirit. At night it indicates the location of a good time. At a track meet or ball game it serves as a safety-valve for pent-up enthusiasm. 86 If delay Eternal Ego .......................... J.

Is he a very peace-ful boy? And does he never fight? Oh no, he some-times lights the Sophs And takes their socks by might. He likes to go on browses, too, He took some grub along, He made the woods re-echo, With yells and col-lege song.

The following is the story of the first Marchen fEin Mann hatte einen Esel, etc.J as Professor Wirtz received it in the examination papers of- Tl-IE GUSHING GIRL. A gentleman had a donkey and he was the dearest, lovliest old beast, and so terribly abused iby his awfully cross old master, who wanted to kill him just because he couldn't carry sacks on his poor back. And it was the smartest little mule and ran away to Bremen and it found a lovely tired doggie who had had the same perfectly dreadful time as the donkey, so he went with him. And they found a sweet, dear, pussy cat, sitting in the road and it was so perfectly unhappy that it was making the saddest little face and its dear little teeth were all worn out, and it went, too. And then-well, the last part is so confusing, all about a silly little cock and doing things with all ons'e strength that I just can't remember it. THE IMPOSSIBLE PREP. A guy had a pusillanimous old donk who had hustled like the next one till he much on the bum was. They cut him out of his eatings and would 'ave slugged him if they had had the chance, but the old donk got wise and a skiddoo took to Bremen, where he sighted a job in a band. About the first quarter he almost fell over a bally pup, who had also been invited to leave his happy home and had made such a rush for it that he was about all in. The donk put a bug in his ear about the music bluff they could put up in the next town and they hiked on. Before they were well under way they hailed a sore looking cat that had messed things up in general at his house and had made his getaway just in time to save his can. This is all I got. TI-IE WORDY WISE HEAD. In the process of time there existed a man who owned an aged beast of burden and 'because the flight of years had stolen away its physical caliber the master wished to bring his career to an ignominious and violent end, but the quadrupecl sensed the impending calamity and fled precipitately toward the city Bremen. In his lonely wan- derings he discovered three kindred spirits, like him, victims of an unheralded dis- pleasure and marble hearted fate. To chronicle their vagrant wanderings, the cunning stratagems and unparelleled success is beyond the power of my humble pen. 89 YOUNG IQOCHINVAR. 1. Young Lochinvar came out of the East, He went to Kentucky and- bought him' a beast. He rides here and there over bank, bush and spar. Automobiles aren't in it with Young Loch- invar. - II. How mighty his benrirrg, how fearless his eye, How stern is his glance as he proudly sweeps by: There is only one thing the bright picture to mari He lacketh a lady, our Young Lochinvar 90 il :A 'lt ...iw Song of the Student. On the sun-lit western prairies, ln the little town of Fairfield, Stands a famous seat of learning: And the students from all nations Gather there for education, With the hope of self-improvement. Very lovely is the campus, Covered o'er with greening foliage, Standing in artistic bunches, Where the landscape gard'ner set them- Many weeks the landscape gard'ner Worked to make the campus lovely, And it seemed to the unthinking That he progressed very slowly. Oft' the students in derision Cried out, There's the landscape garcl'ner Pipe his form--just like a hat pin And he sets out only buck brush Without life or leaf or blossom- But the gardening continued, And the lbuck brush grew and flourished, Till the shouts of great derision Turned to cries of admiration. But some inartistic students On their way to first hour classes, ln an early morning hurry Cut across the precious grass-plot, Thinking that they saved time by it, Till a path all cater-cornered Marred the beauties of the campus, Grievecl the kind hearts of the trustees, Who preferred the sloppy lime pa'ths Running where the garcl'ner placed them. And belonging to this college There are different kinds of students: And the first of all the students Are the Seniors of the college. They are grave and very stately. Robed in somber black you see them ln the spring time on the campus, With their learn'd heads bowed in reverie Thinking of their days in college Now all past and gone forever, Faded into pleasant memories: And their eyes are dimmed with sadness. But beyond the mist they're gazing Toward the busy world which calls them, To their place among its workers. 9I There are Juniors in this college, Very much like other Juniors. With a tendency toward romance And a passionate love for browses ln the Woodland, in the autumn. And full many of the Jtmiors Possess very fiery tempers. Often when they meet together There are little altercations 'Rising, but as quickly settled, So they all can Work together, For the giving of the class play, For the giving of their banquet, For the timely publication Of the .College Junior Annual. Oh, the willing, hard Worked Juniors, They deserve great commendation. And another class' of students Roarn about upon the campus, Wind their way along the rock paths. And the other students gazing On their great self-satisfaction Say Behold the sunny Sophomores, Take your hats off to their greatnessg Altho' they are much conceited, And in manner somewhat lordly, They are push and Vim and vigor, All done up in one big package- rlihis good crowd of loyal Sophomores, Let the Freshies do them homage. Then the Freshmen, the young hopefuls, We must not forget the Freshmen. 'llhey are very large in number, Very large and veiyslusty, And they look with eitpectation Down the labyrinth of knowledge, All undaunted by the prospect Or the present difliculties. And they 'tackle each new prdblem With a courage ever ready, With! the judgment ever verdant, With a method ever strenuous. They have learned the Whys and Wherefores Of the lirst imatriculation, They have 'learned to heed announcements, Learned- the penalty for cutting, And for having spreads on Crow Creek. Some in courses scientific Now are cutting up a fish worm, ' That a knowledge of its insides May help them to better living, May abet and aid their life work. Others, young and unsuspecting, Have gone in for Grecian, classics, Wish to master their Philosophy From 'the alpha to omega. And upon these, many others Look with mild disgust and cry out With a youth's determination: Ich will in the Dutch tongue sprechen, Me for a modern, useful language, Take away the musty dead ones. 92 Yet is one more class of students, Which it will be well to mention, For to them it will be given To behold the greater Parsons. 'Tis the Preps, Ah, words are powerless To express their child-like wonder, Their strange methods of rejoicing, And pursuit ol' self-improvement. For when one Prep meets another l-le will shout his name out loudly, And upon his back will smite him Just to show a friendly feeling. And the other, quick responding, Crins and says, I'll knock your block off, Run away, you fried-eyed rummy. And with these kind greetings over, They engage in friendly combat, Till they reach their seats in chapel, Where they try to sing their lungs out. But the Preps are all well meaning, And they join the college classmen That they all may toil together To preserve the famed traditions Of their own loved Alma Mater, Be it in debating contests Or in bloody fray of class-scraps, Be it throwing for a basket, a hard exam to master, ey are ready, yes and eager To put forth their best endeavor For the glory of old Parsons. Other hands than ours have macle her, Other hands 'than ours will labor For her glory in the future. Ours is but a passing visit, But a fleeting time of service, And when we have gone -and left her, Left our college days behind us, It will come to us how tender And how great her care was for us, And how much we are her debtor, For the best things that have been ours. Then three cheers for Parsons College, For our dear old Alma Mater, May she ever live and prosper. Be her Freshmen young and verdant, Be her Sophomores conceited, Be her Juniors all romantic, Be her Seniors grave and stately, Be her Preps too pugilistic, Be their faults or virtues greatest, May they in one common chorus Whoop' em up for Parsons College And the rose and green forever.
