I In the locker room the men dress for the game, using pads under their uniforms to protect themselves from body blows on the line. Keeping their pants up is a prob- lem met through hip pads and draw strings, as shown here. Athletes come to Pitt from all sections of the U. S. 2 Before going out to the field, the players are bandaged to prevent sprain in ankle and wrist joints. 3 Bandaged, taped, and padded, the men leave the locker room, run to the field, are given an ovation 4 They warm up before the game, loosening up stiff muscles and joints before actual playing time. 7 Pill wins the toss, kicks off, and tlie game begins, with I lie crowd yelling encouragement or booing. 8 Spectators corne in ail kinds of weather, siL two hours, see less than half an hour of actual play. 9 Quick shifting and dodging along with speed and driving power are requisites for a backfielder. nlu the locker room at the half I Razzle-dazzle has added specta- | Regaining possession of the hall, the coach gives the hoys a pep XL tor interest, color, and dash to Pill now takes it down the field, talk, now evidently much needed. the game, filled it with surprises. with expert running and blocking. 5 Just lo prove that it’s a friendly game, the captains shake hands, smile nicely for their pictures. 6 An official flips a coin lo decide who shall have the kickoff. Cap- tains look for two-headed coins. Players take their worst punish- ment in the line plunges, bill it s all part of the search for glory. But the visitors are in posses- sion when the game ends and the learn goes to tire showers (right). Gorilla Gridiron The Pittsburg Teachers 1937 grid force turned in one of the most dis- mal seasons ever, winning only two contests. But a bunch of green youngsters came along in fine style during the latter part of the cam- paign and promise to go far next fall under their new head tutor, Charley Morgan. The Gorillas opened the season here with Western Kentucky Teachers and did everything but outscore them. They gained 13 first downs to the Hilltoppers three, outgained them in yardage, and outfumbled them, but the scoreboard read: Kentucky 7. Pitt 0. The locals took on another “hillbilly team in the second game, journeying to Russellville, Ark., where they were given a 26 to 0 whitewashing by the Tech Wonderboys. It wras the third year in a row that this football-minded school, nestling down in the Ozarks, defeated the Gorillas.1If Coming hack to the home stomping grounds, the Pittsburgers took on their third out-state foe in a row and lost by a touchdown. This lime it was Missouri University’s B squad that turned the trick. The Missourians had a big edge in yardage, but when they got close to the goal the Simians bowed their necks and stood firm. The young Tigers got their tally in the second stanza after a blocked kick gave them the ball deep in Pittsburg territory .If Sting- ing from three consecutive defeats, the Gorillas went to Emporia for James Yane Guard Lot Sailors End Edward Hopkins Center Donald Turner End Robert Hill Fullback Phil Harrison Halfback Leo Huhn End a tussle with C. of E. The Preshies won 7 to 0 on the strength of an early touchdown via the lateral pass routed It was a forlorn ball club that went to Hays to open the Central conference race. Failing to tally in its first four games, Pittsburg wasn't even given a look-in with the defending champion Tigers. But they had the Western Kansans on the ropes from the outset, and at the intermission were leading 6 to 0. The Gorillas hung on 6 to 6 at the three-quarter mark, hut a 56-yard touchdown gallop in the last quarter gave the Bengals a 13 to 6 vic- tory. This was the locals best game of the season and one of Hay’s biggest scares It was a thoroughly whipped football team that came back to Pittsburg after meeting Wichita U.'s high-geared Shockers.

Harold Brill had pitched and run his mates to a 33 to 0 shul- out.ljWith a victory-hungry crowd of Homecomers to cheer them on, the local gridsters broke their six game losing streak by turning on the heat to take Sterling College Warriors into camp to the tune of 20 to 2. It was the first time the Gorilla attack had clicked all year and the students and old grads had a big time celebrating at the “vic- tory dance’ afterwards, Getting back into C. I. C. play, the Pitts- burgers racked up their second consecutive triumph by bowling over Soutliwestern, 26 to 6, for the only league win of the year. The Go- rilla attack was functioning even better than in the Sterling game and the fans took a new lile as the Emporia Teachers game approached. Steve Walker End Edward Mackender Center Mas Pennington Halfback Glen Way man Halfback Arthur n3enz.ee Quarterback Harry McDonald Quarterback Leonard Swearingen Guard If In a razzle-dazzle affair that had the fans yelling for more, Empo- ria’s speedy Hornets clowned Pittsburg, 33 to 14, in their annual Turkey Day clash here. If the score-keeper had forgotten about the first quarter it would have been fine and dandy. The Yellowjackets chalked up 20 points in the opening chukker, hut for the rest of the way it was 14-13, Pittsburg. Lindell Petty was the fair-haired hoy of Lhe day. He was just like the ginger-bread man, for he ran and he ran and he ran. Twenty points were credited to this worthy and once he hustled a kick-off back 95 yards for a touchdown. The Gorillas were using the air for their two touchdowns. Gibson passed to McDonald for the first counter and McDonald pitched Pennington a high hard one for the other six-pointer. T| Yea verily, it was a gloomy season, but this hustling bunch of freshmen and sophomores look like they should go places next fall under the guiding hand of Charley Morgan, who was elected to the head football post when Edward “Blue” Howell took an assistant job at Louisiana State University. Morgan’s first lieutenant will he Prentice Gudgen, former Gorilla quarterback and successful mentor at the Pittsburg high school for five yr rs. Gorilla Gridiron Sportshots At top: They're off at the annual Central Conference meet held in Emporia last year, A section of I he crowd at the game with Emporia on Thanksgiving Day show disapproval of the way the score is going (or maybe it's the weather) In center, Pitt renews the clash with Marysville, the team that stopped her record string of victories not so many years ago. Bottom: This picture at the Central Conference meet doesn’t tell the whole story; Pitt ran away with the pennanl. Mahan has the ball in a tense moment uf the Marysville game. The Mentors Dr. G. W. Weede is the director of ath- letics and head track coach. Besides this Weede is a valuable aid in organizing the football team and basketball squad. Weede has completely dominated the Central Conference track picture by win- ning every track title, ten in all, since the conference was formed. € Edward “Blue Howell, the former Nebraska Cornhusker lugging star, had a bad year, winning only two games this season. Blue has taken an assistant job at Louisiana State Univer- sity. In 1936 Blue led the Gorillas to a tie for first place, the first time since 1924 that they had been on the top rung in the Central Conference. If John F. Lance, rated as one of the smartest cage mentors in the country, also had a dismal year, winding up in the cellar of the con- ference. Lance was formerly a star foot- ball, basketball, and track man here, and returned after coaching four years at Weatherford Teachers College, to make a name for himself in the cage world. ] Charley Morgan, who takes the place of Blue Howell in football coaching next year, has proved his worth in four branches of athletics. Since coming here in 1931 he has been assistant football coach, head cage mentor for one year (when he tied for first in the conference) assistant track coach, tennis coach. Pren- tice Gudgeon, successful high school coach, will be Morgan’s first lieutenant. Pitt Court The 1937-38 chapter of Pittsburg Teachers’ basketball dynasty wound up in the cellar. And any time Coach John F. Lance’s hoop- hitters hit the bottom in the standings that is news with a great big “N.” Talequah, Weatherford, and Ada of the Oklahoma teachers conference afforded the Gorillas little competition in their warm-ups, but in the fourth contest of the year Tom Scott, one of Lance’s star pupils back in the “good ole days,” brought his Concordia College Cobbers to town and before the evening was over John Q. Fan et al were truly agreed that Mr. Scott was entitled to his A. B. degree in basketball science. His was a clever team of ball handlers and accu- rate shooters that had the Lancemen baffled from the outset. IjNext on the local slate came these three Missouri rivals—Maryville, Kirks- ville, and Springfield—all to be met on Missouri soil. Maryville was first and they rallied to take the Gorillas, 36 to 28, after Pitt had held a commanding 15 to 8 margin at the intermission. Kirksville bowed to the locals, 40 to 29, but those always-tough Springfield Bears downed the Crimson and Gold clad basket-shooters, 25-23. Back on the home rectangle those clever Cats from Maryville again polished off the local boys. This time it was 27 to 20 and the game set the stage for the Centeral conference debut for Pittsburg. A seasoned team would have trembled to face the task confronting the James Adams Guard Harold Meadows Center Max Maletx Forward Bill Ravenscroft Forward Bill Forbes Guard Gorillas. Namely, two games in two nights with Southwestern on the Winfield court, and opening league contests besides. The classy Builders, finalists in the Oklahoma City open tournament during the holidays, took both tiffs, the last very decisively as spearhead Lloyd Tucker racked up 29 points. If Coming home Lo engage the Emporia Teachers, Pittsburg downed the Hornets by a single point in one of the wildest cage attractions in a long time and without doubt the wildest of the season, it was a crazy one-hander from away over in the corner tossed in by Fred Crouch with only seconds to go that gave the Gorillas their margin of victory. If So ended the first semester and so ended the Gorillas starting combination. Crouch and Mahan were Russe! Neas LeRoy TJhlenhop Walter Atkinson Arthur Alexander Don Rutherford Forward Guard Forward Center Center declared ineligible and Don Rutherford and Walter “Pete” Atkinson, a pair of lettered forwards, were reinstated. H New faces appeared in the Pitt line-up for the Springfield contest here, but there was noth- ing new about the outcome. The Rears continued to keep the Indian sign on the locals as they walked off with a 28 to 23 triumph. | South- western followed up the Springfield defeat to give the Gorillas a 35 to 33 defeat on the Pittsburg planks, but the local hoop-hitters earned a moral victory. They chalked up a 21 to 14 halftime lead, rode the Builders hard all the way, held the high-geared Lloyd Tucker to one goal from the field, and only in the last fewr minutes did they relin- quish the lead to Southwestern. IjNext the Gorillas went West and were handed defeats by McPherson college and Fort Hays State in a pair of free scoring games that saw the two teams pour 198 points through the hopper. I[j The “hucklety-buck” Wichita Shockers split a two-game series with the Gorillas here as the fans got plenty of thrills during the course of the battles. The next week Pittsburg went Wichita and took another beating at the hands of the Shockers as they made it two out of three for the season. TfThis left the local forces with a pair of two night stands to finish up the season. A double-header at Emporia with the Yellowjackets and two games here with Fort Hays State. The Hornets surprised almost everyone as they took both games from the Gorillas. Tf In the final set Pittsburg and Hays split, with the Tigers taking the final game, it was the first time they had won a game here since ’way back in the twenties. Track and Field The spring of 1937 saw the Pittsburg Teachers track and field con- tingent chalk up its tenth consecutive Central Conference title, win plenty of honors at the big relay meets, both indoor and outdoor, and produced the best broadjumper in the nation—Kermit King. IjThe Gorilla thin-clads opened the season at the Middlewest intercollegiate track and field meet at Naperville and were nosed out by the host school North Central college by a single point. Had it not been that Ralph Brown was disqualified in the 440 yard dash the Gorillas would have won with plenty to spare. He ran to a new field house record in the quarter mile, but it was all in vain on account of step- ping out of his lane on the first turn. H After working out for a week on the Naperville boards the Weedemen journeyed over to Indianapolis for the fast Butler U. relays. They took first place in the college divi- sion and Kermit King leaped to victory in the broadjump. The Go- rilla runners took first in both the mile and two-mile relays. llNext on Pittsburg’s slate came the dual relay meet with Emporia Teachers on Brandenburg field and the locals won by 15 points. The track events consisted of seven relay races and the six field contests were also fig- ured on a team basis. If Each team won three field contests, but Pitts- . Bruce Cummings Donnhl Strait David Shrader Basil Kelly Pole Vault Pole Vault Weights Javelin Elmer Carson Ralph Brown Broadjump 440 Dash Earl Doiithit Broadjump burg took five relays to the Hornets two, Archie San Romani was the main cog in his team’s victories in the two-mile and distance medley races. The Gorillas were victorious in the440, 880, mile, and shuttle hurdle relays as well as the mile team race. f| Next the Pittsburg track- sters took in the Kansas relays, where Donald Dunn won the open cen- tury dash against the Middle West’s top (light speed merchants and Tom Stevens tied witli Jack Vickery of Texas as they set up a new record in the high jump. David Shrader Look fourths in the shot put and discus throws and Kermit King, defending broadjump champion, was unable to hit his stride and had to be content with a fourth. 1] The crimson and gold clad runners captured the two-mile baton event in the college class and were in the money in all the other relays outside the university division, 1} Competing in the 28th annual running of the Drake relays in Des Moines, the Pittsburgers captured the sprint medley, half mile, and two-mile relays. Tom Stevens took third in the high jump as he competed with a classy field. The Gorillas turned on the heat to swamp Emporia Teachers for the second time in the season. 83 to 48, in their annual dual meet. The outstanding perform- ance of the day was Kermit King’s sensational leap of 25 feet lOi inches to send the old record to the junk heap. It was the best mark made in the U. S. last season. Donald Dunn and David Shrader Track and Field Lester Kirk Sprints handed the Gorillas 20 points as they both bagged double wins. Dunn took Llie century and furlong in stride and Shrader won the shot put and discus events. If This set the stage for the annual Central con- ference track pow wow to be held at Emporia and there was much speculation on the outcome. But the perennial champs romped off with the gonfalon. In a meet that saw seven records scratched from tlie hooks, the local cinder artists heat out the Hornets by 23 points. It was their most impressive margin in four years. 1 II the Yellow- jackets went in for record smashers, Pittsburg went in for balance and versatility. Emporia broke five of the seven records (Pitt goL the other two), but the Gorillas captured nine firsts out of fifteen. The only- event the locals failed to score in was the 2-mile run. Kermit King Tom Stevens High Jump Galen Blackmore Half Mile Kermit King Broad jump John Kowing Half Mile Oliver Allen Half Mile Donald Dunn Dashes Track and Field Theodore Mow a MO Dash and Donald Dunn got the Gorillas their two records. King leaped 24 feet 7i inches to erase the mark in the broad jump; Dunn raced down the straightaway to do the century in 9.8 seconds. Both of these star performances were made in the preliminaries. The Gorillas did more than the Emporia hoard of strategy expected in the 100 yard dash and quarter mile, and San Romani was scratched in the half-mile to keep him fresh and let him shoot for the record in the 2-mile. Pitt placed one-two in the century and half-mile and one-two-three in the 220 and 440 yard races. If After the regular season was over Kermit King won the broadjump at the National A. A. U. meet in Milwaukee, the National Collegiate at Berkley, Cal., and at the Pan-American games in Dallas. He also toured the Orient with a picked group of American track and field stars. H Looking back through the season, here are a few of the marks made by Pittsburg tracksters that stand out as being particularly brilliant: Tom Stevens. 6 feet 61 inch higli jump to set a new record at the Kansas relays, Kermit King's 25 feet 101 inch broadjump at the Emporia dual, Donald Dunn’s hundred yard dash in 9.8 seconds, Bob Caldwell’s 14.9 tour of the high hur- dles, David Shrader’s 47 foot-plus shot put and 142 foot discus throw, BeDillon’s 1:55.9 half mile, and Brown’s 49.1 quarter.

To begin with, Mr. Corporon was responsible for the hottest and cleanest elections ever seen here as over six hundred “citizens turned out in the fall general election to register opinion. Then an elaborate reception was accorded old grads and other visitors on Homecoming day, a large part of which was due to Council guidance. A few weeks later an over- whelmingly successful Ladies’ Knight was stag- ed with excellent entertainment for a large crowd of meek and mild guys escorted by dom- ineering gals of contrasting self-sufficiency. This year for the first time in history council members were permitted to take part in the activities of the school policy committees. The reorganization of the pep club into a unit of trained enthusiasts for the display of school spirit was a prominent achievement of the coun- cilors. Distinctive sweaters were purchased by the fifty men and women selected by the council for a cheering section. Misses Sue Smith and Katie Magnetti were conscripted to develop ef- fective formations and novelties for the group. LEFT ROW: Scenansky, Cunningham. Bowman. Shute, Puckett. RIGHT ROW: Sherman.

Lewis Corporon Student Council President The club was established with the prospect of a permanent, continuous membership, which should facilitate pep club or- ganization in the future. “Hobo day, “Varsity Prom, and “Weekly Dancing Class” are terms which are likewise con- notative of the social activities offered this year by the student representative body. Cooperation with a purpose, harmony with energy, have been the building themes for all council activities of this year. Parties to the collective action were: Esther Sherman, Dorothy Jenkins, Gertrude Sellmansberger, Willetta German, Ella Bowman, Joe Scepansky, Lloyd Cun- ningham , Boh Gadberry, Bud Needham, Bill Shute. Jack Foster, Thomas Puckett, and Aaron Butler. All were elected by popular vote in the contest three weeks after school started. Pan-Hellenic Council Composed of delegates from the four Association of Education sororities. Theta Sigma Upsilon, Pi Kappa Sigma, Alpha Sig- ma Alpha, Sigma Sigma Sigma, and the fine arts sorority, Phi Mu Gamma, the Pan-Hellenic Council unifies the activities of women’s Greek letter organizations, Each sorority is repre- sented by the president, one upper classman, one lower class- man, and the sorority sponsor. Meetings are held at the various sorority houses. IjTlie local organization is under the direct control of the Association of Education Sororities Council. TfThe duties of the local council are to create friendship and good will among the sororities, to sponsor formal rush week, and to act as a clearing house for all sorority problems. TjThe council always sponsors a formal dance for members of soror- ities represented in Pan-Hellenic. This year the dance was held February 11 at the Moose Hall. A second dance was held on February 26. Both dances were attended by more than one hundred twenty-five couples. T[Pan-Hellenic offices are rotated among the sororities.

The fraternity, incorporated in 1904 at Ann Arbor, Michigan, has sev- enty-three chapters grouped into eight provinces which hold conven- tions alternating with the national convention. These meetings create a strong bond of fellowship between the chapters and members and pro- vide a means for comparison in scholarship, musicianship, and ac- complishments. liAlthough Sigma Alpha Iota is not a social fraternity, it has alwavs had a house on the J campus, and holds recitals, teas, and parties during the year. The frater- nity stresses building friendships. Allai. Dorsey, -Samp. Parker Theta Sigma Upsilon The national education sorority Theta Sigma Upsilon, organized at the Kansas State Teachers College of Emporia in 1907, was established in Pittsburg in May, 1923, under the leadership of Miss Eulalia Rose- berry. } The chapter was reorganized during the following year, when it petitioned the national sorority for membership.

Walter McCray Conductor The Festival Chorus The Festival Chorus was organized in 1914, presenting the first Music Festival in the spring of 1915. The chorus is under the direction of Dr. McCray, head of the Music department of K.S.T.C. Each year the chorus, cooperating with the Festival Orchestra, presents the Spring Music Festival. The festival usually runs four days and lias been self-supporting. H In con- nection with these festivals an inter-state high school contest is held, and in this way thousands of people are reached every year with artists of note and the choral work, besides the stim- ulus of the contests. 1} Among the artists who have taken part, and who. hut for these festi- vals, would have been unheard in this secLion PORTER LIBRARY Walter McCray, Conductor are: Mesdames Alda, Clausen, Galli-CurcL Shumann-Heink, Talley, and Van der Veer; Messieurs Althouse, Crooks, Deluca, Lazara, Martinelli, McCormack, Middleton, Paderewski, and others. Several nationally known critics have commented favorably on the chorus. One of these comments was, “It was a most remark- able thing for Lhe chorus to do so well in work so difficult as Verdi's 'Requiem.' ” H Since the be- ginning of the festival, many major choral works have been presented. Among these works are: Bruch. Fair Ellen; Coleridge-Taylor, Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast; Gounod. Faust; Hadley, Ode to Music; Handel, Messiah; Haydn, Creation; Mendelssohn.

Those eligible may be music majors or minors or girls in other departments interested in singing. Membership is granted through auditions held in the fall. The club is limited to forty girls in order to accomodate transportation on bus trips out of town. IT The organization not only affords a val- uable training of voices and study of a variety of choral compositions but also lends its efforts toward greater works by being a member of the larger organization, the Festival Chorus. This past year the activities in- cluded concerts both local and out of town, chapel performances, appearances before the Inter-City Rot- ary Club, the Parsons Women’s Music Club, and broad- casting over KGCF, Coffeyviile, and KOAM, Pitts- burg. U Miss Gabriella Campbell, a member of the College music faculty, is the director of the glee club. Polymnia Club Men’s Choral Club The Men’s Glee Club is an organization composed of those men who have had successful auditions as to the quality of their voice. Membership is open to all men of the college interested in music,' who have voices of good quality and are willing to work. TfThe club pro- vides an excellent opportunity to study a wide variety of compositions and is of great value as a recreational or extra-curricular activity. Several trips are taken each year to neighboring towns where the members get ex- perience in singing before audiences and the pleasure of traveling. If The club also sings for chapel programs, and many clubs of the city. The club is an integral part of the Festival Chorus which is a feature of the Musical Festival each spring. The officers of the year are: Maurice La Rue, President; Joe Malocsay, Vice- President; Don Guinn, Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. Claude R.

Its primary purpose is the advancement of the cause of music in America. H In addition to this it strives to foster mutual welfare and brotherhood of music students, develop the truest fraternal spirit among its members, and encourage loyalty to the alma mater. Phi Mu Alpha chooses for its members those with outstanding music ability, a desire to take active part in the promotion of the cause of good music, and of high scholastic rating. The untiring efforts of Dr. Walter McCray, head of the department of music, have exploded the old idea that a teachers college could not main- tain a strong chapter.

The Art Club The College Art Club was founded October 18. 1921 by stu- dents of the Art department. The purpose of the organization is to promote art interest on the campus and in the community. Members of the club are majors or minors in the Art depart- ment and must have attained a required standard of scholar- ship. TJ From time to time through the school year the organ- ization finances the bringing of art exhibits to the campus. One of the objectives has been to purchase a painting or other work of art each year for the College Art Gallery, which is on the second floor of Music Hall. 1} At the present there is a collection of sixteen pictures: original oil paintings, etchings, block prints, a water color, and a lithograph. TfOfficers for the year are: Robert Aikins, President; Dorothy Jane ilson, Vice-President; Edith Wheeler, Secretary; and Gordon Ham- miek. Treasurer. HThis year a portion of the Chib affiliated themselves with Kappa Pi, international art fraternity, as Tau chapter. Membership to this fraternity is limited to juniors and seniors, eight of whom have joined, with others to come in later. The Club will continue to exist, however, to stimulate interest among the underclassmen. Miss Elsie Leitch Bowman and Miss Bertha Spencer sponsor the groups. TOP ROW: Dewey. Johnson. Bowman. Sammons.

Eliot Education Club was organized by a group of education majors and faculty members in February, 1927. ][The purpose of this club is to stimulate among its members and the student body an interest in educational prob- lems and to seek added light upon their solution to promote group solidarity; to encourage the acquaintance of instructors and students; and to countenance good fellowship by partici- pation in social functions, It holds as its ideal the bringing about of finer human relationship by improving the personnel and equipment of the modern school. Members of the club are chosen from the students majoring in education who have completed forty hours and to the faculty of the department of education. Any student becoming a member must have at least a C average. Regular meetings of the club are held on the first Wednesday evening of each month. The meetings are varied in nature and include picnics, dinner meetings and programs by students, faculty members and speakers from outside the club. ]} The officers are: Bennington Ross, Presi- dent; Carloyn Mattingly, Vice-President; Ruth Aldrich. Secretary-Treasurer. Dr. Ernest M. Anderson is the sponsor. Education Club Home Economics Club The Home Economics Club, which is affiliated with the Na- tional Home Economics Association, was organized on this campus in 1919. Its purpose is to promote professional inter- est in the field of home economics and to develop the social life of its members. In order to carry out these aims, the club meets once a month. An effort is made to give each girl a chance to take part in the program of these monthly meetings. The theme of the program of the year was “The Art of Grac- ious Living.” IT At the first of the school year the club gave a tea in honor of the freshman girls of the department to help them feel at home. The first meeting was in the form of a picnic which helped the teachers and the students to get ac- quainted. Home Economics Day was celebrated in February by a special meeting. Tf Each year the Alpha Gamma Tau, honorary physical science fraternity, and the Home Econ- omics Club entertain each other with a party. A Thanksgiving and a Christmas basket were taken to a needy family. r Of- ficers are: Mildred Collins, President; Mary Hill, Vice- President; Constance Dittman, Secretary; Margaret Martin, Treasurer.

A. Brandenburg, I1 Entertaining and instruc- tive programs, one of which was presented in chapel, con- tributed not a little to the club’s record. An increased con- cern for journalism and a better realization of its importance in nearly every phase of life was in evidence in club activities. TJThe augmented supply of talent was concentrated on the publication of the Collegio throughout the year, to the lat- ter’s eminent advantage and remarkable success, editorially.

Highlights of Service Through Twenty-Five Years By Belle Provorse, Secretary to the President IN 1913, when the legislature had made what was then the State Manual Training Normal School an independent institution, the first problem of the Slate Board of Administration was the finding of a man for president who would carry out the practical sort of education for which the institution had been created. In addition to this requirement they sought one who had had successful experience in executive work and one who had a broad outlook on edu- cation. They found in Superintendent W. A. Brandenburg of Oklahoma City the qualities, the ideals, and the educational aggressiveness, which in their judgment, qualified him for the posi- tion. They assured him that it was a young insti- tution without fixed traditions and precedents, that they were confident it was full of future promise, and I hat the man who would accept the presidency of it could with his faculty build an institution whose size would he limited only by his ability. To one possessing Lhe qualities of Superintendent Brandenburg that challenge was sufficient. He accepted the position and look up his work as the first president of the Kansas State Teachers College of Pittsburg. To his satisfaction he found an en- thusiastic group of 10 faculty members each eager to help him build the best possible college, a college of real prac- tical education which would give the widest service to an expectant public. When he saw on the campus but one build- ing, and a cheap shop building under construction, he said to Governor Hoch of the Board of Administration: “Well, THE CAMPUS IN 1913 there isn't much of an educational plant here. But with such men and women as constitute this little faculty group, I am sure, if we convince the taxpayers of Kansas that we have real ob- jectives and can render an outstanding service to the stale, the buildings will come. I bis total annual appropriation of $75,000 will soon he twice that amount.” As one looks about the campus today and in- quires regarding the an- nual appropriation, he discovers that this modest prophecy of the man who had a vision and who kept an unswerving eye on the attainment of that goal has been more than fulfilled. A campus with 14 beautiful build- ings, representing a valuation of approximately $2,000,000 and an annual appropriation of $280,750 stands as a living monument to his leadership and a proof that the Board of Administration chose wisely and well in their selection of the first president of the institution. Many were asking, “What will he the new administrators’ att itude AIK VIEW OF THE CAMPUS TODAY 77ih jtmphmy of ike man who had a vision has keen more than fulfilled. The Governor of Kansas, Ex-Governors, prominent citizens from the State and Nation, faculty, alumni, and students honored Dr. W. A. Brandenburg dur- ing “Brandenburg Silver Anniversary Week March 14-18. The occasion was in recognition of his outstanding leadership in education as ex- emplified over a period of 25 years as president of the Kansas State Teachers College of Pittsburg. W. A. Brandenburg “He saw on th.e campus but one building and a shaft building under constructionK. S. T. C., 1913, HE MEETS AN EMERGENCY toward religion?” The following statement, taken from his remarks at the first faculty meet- ing, answered that question and still represents his attitude today: ] “The Administration of the institution must ever be broad, open-minded, and tolerant to I lie last degree respecting religious beliefs. As faculty members you will not be required or expected to Leach or advocate any particular brand of religious belief. On the other band, the taxpayers of Kansas will not care to spend their money in support of am insti- tution which exercises itself collectively or indi- vidually in destroying religious convictions of the young people who come to its campus.” The valor of the new president was put to a severe test within a year after his accession, and he proved to the students of the College and to the citizens of Pittsburg his ability as an organizer and a leader, At 3:45 on the morning of June 29. 1914, the alarm was sounded at Russ Hall, the administration building, one of I lie only two buildings of the College had been struck by lightning and was burning. By 9:00 o'clock temporary quarters had been arranged for the meeting of classes. Tents were erected on the campus; buildings in the city and private homes were placed at the service of the College. Students were Laken from place to place in lumber wagons and automo- biles, Street cars were in the throes of a strike w hich lasted 70 days or until the summer session was over. At 10:00 o’clock on the morning of the fire citizens assembled at the old Orpheum Theater. The president w ho was the first speaker stated the object and purpose for which the citizens had been called to meet and urged every one to pull together through the disaster. Stu- dent after student jumped to his feel and shouted, “We’ll all stick together.” Led on by such enthusia m .1- T. Moore, bred Wheeler, E. V. Lanyon, T. J. Cnnvell. the late Senator E. E. Porter, and scores of others came forward with their expressed determination of rebuild- ing at once the ruined structure. They placed at the disposal of the Governor and the Board of Administration $100,000 with which to begin the work. When the legislature met, it listened to the report of the rebuilding program and, without sending a committee to investigate how the money had been spent, appropriated the sum of $189.600 for replacement. If The president’s appreciation of that heroic student body one thousand strong, is best told in his own words, “Such another loyal body of students could not be found in all Kansas: no, not in the United States.” It is believed that only one student lef! the institution. V The new president s ion let il he known that he would not he satisfied wilh a lop-sided educational in- stitution. frequently say- ing that a lop-sided college was no college at all. The president and faculty have remained true to the two or three principles for which the institution was established. Through President Brandenburg’s leadership, his sympathetic understanding, his tolerant viewpoint, and bis dynamic courage he has led the faculty to build a strong, well-rounded college of practically equal departmental strength. The president says that a college is no stronger than its weakest department. He has always contended that no institution of higher learning has a right to HE PLANS A WELL-ROUNDED COLLEGE Highlights of Service Through 25 Years claim higher academic standing than a teachers’ college, simply because it is an institution of higher learning, that the scholarship of I he men and women constituting the faculty of a teachers’ college nmst he on a par with the best faculties of other institutions of higher learning, and that I lie teachers’ college is not a “peculiar” institu- tion of higher learning because it devotes a reasonable part of its time to the professionali- zation of education. The president has always maintained that if the teachers’ college does its full duty, its graduates will be as liberally pie- pared for social life as they would be if they were graduated from the best universities of our nation, ft When solicited to keep some per- son on the faculty who HE PROTECTS THE COLLEGE was doing manifestly in- THE COLLEGE IS STANDARDIZED competent work or when the application of some candidate for a position on the faculty is urged by friends, the president has frequently said: “I will be glad to co all I can for your friend, hut this institution was not placed here primarily to serve persons who would like to come to its campus: the taxpayers of Kansas have placed it here for the purpose of service to the young people who come to its cam- pus with a desire for the best preparation for their life’s work.” ] Despite the rapid growth and expansion of the in- stitution, its proper ac- crediting in standardizing agencies was at no time neglected. As early as 1915, when the institution was only twelve years of age, it was admitted without deficiency or condition to the teachers’ college list of the N‘orth Central Association of Colleges and Sec- ondary Schools. Since 1930 it has also been placed on the University and College Section of the North Central Association without defi- ciency or condition. The institution has been a member of the American Association f Teachers Colleges from its beginning and for the past 10 years has held membership without condition or deficiency. If That a tradition dear to the hearts of students, alum- ni. and faculty members he ever kept alive, each year the president asks THE PRESIDENT SANCTIONS APPLE DAY Miss Eulalia E. Roseberry, a senior member of the faculty, to tell the “Apple Story,” based on a historic incident, in 1907 members of the legis- lature had levied a fine of a barrel of apples against Pittsburg “lobbyists” whose efforts had helped to secure an appropriation for the first building of the institution. Enthusiastic students imitated the legislature and fined the faculty. Each year the fine is levied and paid. In the best of good fellowship faculty and students to- gether celebrate the now traditional Apple Day. ff Among other things the president realized curing his first year that a much different school of music must he estab- lished within the College. He early took the position that music is an essential part of all liberal education and that it is even more need- ful in a teachers’ college than in other institu- tions of higher learning. He often stated that as long as students were willing to pay for private lessons, they should have as much musical opportunity in a teachers’ college as was to be had in any other institution of higher learning. In 1914 he recommended to the Board of Administration the appointment oT Dr. Walter McCray, then supervisor of music in ME ESTABLISHES A SCHOOL OF MUSIC Eulalia E. Roseberky “The Apple Story” G. W.

After the appoint- ment was made by the Board, the president said to Dr. McCray. ‘‘Build the largest and best department or school of imis;c that it is possible for us to have.” During the past 2-1. years the president has realized with great pleasure and satisfaction the objective which he expressed in the beginning of his administration. Always a lover and promoter of good music, he has stood through these years for the development of the department under the direction of Dr. McCray. In recognition of his achievement, the legislature in the session of 1928 made an appropriation sufficient to erect one of the finest music buildings in the entire country, a building today devoted entirely to the art of music. f[ The Kansas State Teachers College of Pitts- burg modestly boasts of being the first stale institution to install a pipe organ. In 1915 an Austin four manual organ, having 70 stops with movable console, was placed in the College Auditorium with no cost whatever to the state.

Professor G. W. Trout, who had since 1906 been head of the cepart- ment of History and Social Sciences, became Dean of the College in 1914, and from that date to the present Dean Trout has functioned most efficiently and devoLedly in that capacity. The wisdom and foresight of the president in making this recommendation has been many times approved by the faculty and students. Tf Another noteworthy step during these 25 years was the expansion of the College to a purely adult vocational field of work. About the year 1915 faculty members, led by Lhe late Dr. j. A. Yates, presented to the president an opportunity for organizing evening classes, in which only those persons engaged in daily work could be enrolled. The president gave their suggestions hearty approval and asked Dr. Yales, a man full of love and sympathy for mankind, to lead in the organization of the work. This Dr. Yates did. Assisted by many members of the faculty he rendered a splendid service to thousands of men and women occu- pied during the daytime. This work was all done without college credit, although a recognition certificate was awarded to those who completed the diderent courses from time to time, An- other opportunity, that of participating in the re- habilitation work of ex- service men, came to the College. This opportunity came during the year 1919. The ])resident asked that the College he given the privilege of doing the work and the federal government approved the request. When the president was asked to name a Counselor for lhe several hundred men who would be enrolled here in this work, he said: 5iWe have many good men who might do this, hut there is one particu- lar man who should be appointed as Counse- lor.” Again Dr. Yates was called to the task. For more than three years this work with several hundred ex-service men went on.

Sometimes as many as 25 out of a faculty of 45 could lie seen late Friday afternoon or Sat- urday morning hoarding the interurban, each going to his respective extension center where he taught a class as nearly as possible in the same way as students on the campus were being taught. This work has practically been discon- tinued at the present time, ft During the year 1917 in addition to his tireless service to the Col- lege, the president gave much time and effort to the campaign for selling liberty bonds for the War and he assisted also in setting up county organizations to carry on other necessary war work. It was also in this year that the campus became a real federal army camp and was named by war officers, “Camp Branden- burg.” Approximately 400 men were enlisted and did their first months of training under ar- my officers on the campus. Two batteries, “C” and “D,” went from Camp Brandenburg to Fori Sill and finally to the front in France, ft The president is an enthusi- astic supporter and an ardent booster for extra- curricular activities of the College.

The new athletic field was completed, and the Stadium costing $80,000 was dedicated and turned over to the Stale of Kan- sas on Armistice Day, November 11, 1924. To show their deep appreciation of the president’s interest, cooperation, and enthusiasm in this undertaking, the backers of the project asked that the field be called Brandenburg Field. ft Prior to President Brandenburg’s coming to K. S. T. C. very lillle had been accomplished in placing or keeping the College athletic teams among the upper brackets nf state champions. In 1919 upon the recommen- dation of the president, Dr. Garfield W. Weede was appointed by the Board of Administration as Director nf Physical Education and Coaching. Under his directorship he has drawn to the Col- lege outstanding coaches in the various phases of athletics. Under such leadership our teams have won more championships than any other college of the Central Conference of which K. S. T. C. is a member. Some of the teams and athletes have gained national and international honors. During the past 25 years this program has been kept well rounded and not confined to specialization in only one branch of athletics. ‘7w f i ' arm horne icas barn our president.” Clay Comity, oiM, PRESIDENT IS FIRST TO BUY BUSSES S. M. T. N. CHANGED TO K. S. T. C. If To carry on a wider range of extra-curricular activities for the students, the matter of transporta- tion was an early drawback. To meet this contin- gency President Brandenburg became a pioneer in the purchase of 1 usses— a plan which today is almost universally followed by colleges and universities. Today the College has two large commodious busses in which its athletic teams, orchestra, glee clubs, and band can travel to en- gage in activities. Without them transportation would be prohibitive on account of the expense. tf As the institution had become a fully organized college among colleges by 1923, it was evident that the name of the institution was no longer appropriate or significant. Consequently, in Feb- ruary, 1923. through the efforts of the president and the recognition by the legislature of the ser- vice being rendered by the College, the name was changed from the Stale Manual Training Normal School to the Kansas Stale Teachers College. The new letters. K. S. T. C. soon came to be as popular as S. M. T. N. had been. We look back in 1913 to a little group of 13 stu- dents who received I be first degrees to be conferred by the College. Now we count from year Lo year over 300 graduates. The total number of persons who have had bachelor’s degrees conferred upon them during these 25 years is 4,014. ft The GROWTH OF COLLEGE OBVIOUS COLLEGE TAKES ON GRADUATE WORK president has often said that the only direct measure of the value and strength of a college is to be determined from the quality of its out- put. We who are associated with the inslituton have had the satisfaction of seeing these 4,014 graduates go into every field of teaching in practically every state in the nation. We have also seen dozens of these men enter the best institutions of higher learning in the United Slates and make good, completing their work for the highest graduate degrees. If When high schools were demanding the graduate degree as equipment for high school teachers, the president was one of the first in our state to demand the privileges of graduate study for the teachers’ colleges. When asked by the Board of Regents if it could be done without additional cost, lie said emphati- cally, “No, nol if we are to do a good job; and if we are to do any graduate work, it must be done on a high level. That will cost some money, but it will not cost more money to do a good job in the teachers’ colleges of the state than it will cost to do it in other institutions of the state. In fact, it can probably be done at less expense, quality considered.” So in 1929 the Board of Regents realized that the time bad come to take another step forward. They granted the privilege to the teachers’ colleges Lo do an extra year’s work leading towards the Master of Science degree. As authorized, graduate work was organized in the summer of 1929. The president appointed a Graduate Council and asked Dr. 0. P. Dellinger, head of the Biologi- cal Science department, who had been an out- standing member of the faculty for 20 years, to assume the responsibility of chairmanship of the Council. The president authorized the Council to go forward with the organization of the Graduate School and to set up the curric- ulum, charging them to do nothing of a ques- tionable nature. He further advised them to be in no hurry about an enrollment in the Grad- uate Division and to see that the set-up was of the highest type, believing that if this was done the enrollment would satisfactorily lake care Highlights of Service Through 25 Years of itself. The following result proves again the fulfillment of his prophecy: Master of Science Degrees Conferred 1930 - 1931 1932 11 19 45 1933 71 1934 - . 51 1935 60 1936 77 1937 - 63 U In the group holding masters’ degrees from the College some have gone to splendid posi- tions; others are studying toward the doctorate degree in the best institutions in the nation.

So it is with a man who has builded an outstanding institution, If In the Brandenburg Colony oil the north banks of the Ohio River was horn Francis Marion Brandenburg, the father of our beloved president. He was of German extraction. When six years of age. he moved with his father and mother into McLane County, Illinois, near Bloomington, where he grew to manhood. As a young man he migrated to northeastern Iowa, where he married Enfield Maxwell, on Decem- ber 31, 1868. She was of Scotch extraction. Little wonder that his son, our president, is fond of the song, “Scotch Lassie 0’ Mine.” As sturdy pioneers this courageous couple made their home in northeastern Iowa. From the virgin soil they made their living and improved the home farm where they reared their six “Of sturdy pioneer extraction.” Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Brandenburg, the president's parents. 4 HE IS THE SON OF PIONEERS children. They continued to live in this com- fortable farm home until 1905 when they moved Lo Des Moines, Iowa. If I would like to take you back now Lo the year 1869, October 10, to he specific. On that day in Clayton County, Iowa, in this very farm home was born our president, William Aaron Brandenburg. As a child, I presume, his life was much like that of the oldest child of a pioneer family. When live years of age, he attended the nearest rural school which was two and a half miles from his home. When asked something about his early life, he answered, that his childhood was so much like that of all other hoys that nothing need be said about it. However, he did admit that so far as mischief was concerned, lie was thoroughly conversant with all varieties. When asked if lie thought this confession was com- plimentary Lo him, he said: “I have always had a feeling that these experiences have contributed toward a more sympathetic understanding of young people.” Perhaps this in part is the secret of his success in dealing with hundreds of girls and boys under his tuition. If According Lo a statement of his sister, his father once said of him that there was no duty or task, no matter how arduous, that he had not experienced during his boyhood. These hard tasks taught him initiative, self-reliance, and the ability to overcome difficulties of every kind. However, as the oldest son of pioneers he had no easy task in mounting the long ladder of success. As a matter of fact he had become efficient in fa ruling, painting, and carpentering long before he entered the teaching held. In contrast with the youth of today he learned early in life the value of a dollar. In his first teaching position in the little log cabin, pictured here, lie had under his tuition twelve pupils, receiving the magnificent salary of $25 a month, with room and board thrown in. When this first term of school, which lasted three months only, was over, he returned to Ids home the proud pos- sessor of $75, his total earnings. His next position was his home district school, quite an advance for a hoy in those days.

All three sons have since re- ceived their master’s degree, and two of them are near the goal of the Ph. D. Mrs. Branden- burg is an energetic, genial, home-loving individ- ual: faculty, students, and friends greatly en- joy the hospitality of the Brandenburg home. Mr. and Mrs. Brandenburg are members of the First Christian Church. fJWhat type of individ- ual is this man who is known to his faculty as “President” and to the student body and alumni as “Prexy”? If One editor of a leading Kansas paper truly ex- pressed the esteem in which the president is held hy students, faculty, alumni, and friends when he wrote: If “Kansas State Teachers Col- lege of Pittsburg is one of the luckiest institu- tions in the country just because W.

He possesses the highest order of intellectual honesty and courage. He is a dynam- ic leader and has the happy talent for enlisting intense loyalty. He is a tremendous worker set ling a pace that would seem to be beyond physi- cal endurance. He is a clear thinker possessing the ability to express himself in no uncertain terms. He has convictions and dares to speak his own mind. He is democratic, broad-minded, and tolerant to the last degree; He is intensely prac- tical. He is modest in speaking of his own achievements.

After the banquet, alumni, faculty, and friends adjourned to the College Auditorium where a Pageant was presented and the chairman of our Board of Regents, Mr. C. M.

I Stretching into the day’s work is the hardest task con- fronting the college student, so he rises at seven-forty, allowing himself twenty minutes to dress, eat breakfast, meet an eighl o’clock class. Early classes are unpopular since the introduction of an absence rule requiring atten- dance at all sessions, lessening the total of cuts allowed. 2 A good appearance is essential to I lie college man, so he rises early, and shaves off his three whiskers. 3 Shaved, combed, and 1 u nshed, he rushes to keep a breakfast date, gulps down his coffee and a roll. 4 It’s still dark when he goes to his firsL class, but he'll get some sleep in before the school day is over. 7 The short sighted profs are best liked. His students sleep, feel that they really accomplish something. 8 Hell week is bad for the pledges, worse for the actives.

Officers Bob Gadbekuy President Betty Dorsey Vice-President Pauline Thompson Secretary Pauline Butler Treasurer Dorsey, Gad berry, Thompson, Butler, The Sophomores The Sophomore class had an unusually successful year under the leadership of the following officers: Boh Gadberry, Presi- dent; Betty Dorsey, Vice-President; Pauline Thompson, Sec- retary; and Pauline Butler, Treasurer. Tf Outstanding work in selling activity tickets gave the class money to carry out social affairs and the eveft-popular line parties. Carrying out the policy of the class established by Charles Duncan, president of the class in its freshman year, the officers aimed at having social events which would draw the greatest number of class members. For this reason the larger part of the class funds was spent on line parties, voted on by the class. Tf An effort was made to have the students of the class take a greater part in directing its activities, and success in this line was accom- plished by advertising class meetings and business. Most successful event of the year was that of the sixth annual Freshman-Sophomore picnic dance held late in the semester.

The Freshmen The Freshman Class started its year enthusiastically by turn- ing out a record number of voters in the contest for offices. Bud Needham was elected president, Howard Marchbanks vice- president, Geraldine Babb secretary, and Betty Jo Coulter treasurer. T| Its activity ticket funds, collected enrollment day by the faculty sponsors, enabled the class to lead off social affairs with a faculty-arranged banquet welcoming the class to the College. First student prepared event was a well- attended weiner roast, f This was followed by several line par- ties, which proved to be most popular of the social events, a Christmas dance and a Senior-Freshman dance. Officers fol- lowed a plan of reflecting the wishes of the students, arranging only those affairs which the students had voted on in advance. Tf That officers and members of the class kept on good terms was evidenced by the fact that all members of the class were sent Chistmas cards through the good will of their president.

USES Air-Conditioned Buses on Santa Fe Trail Santa Fe Trail ways is now re- ceiving its new air-conditioned coaches and placing them in service as fast as they arrive from the fac- tory. There are fifty specially-built buses in the world’s first air-condi- tioned bus fleet and they will be operated on the system's lines be- tween Chicago and Los Angeles. The entire coach was designed and built for insulation against noise and traffic vibrations, as well as outside temperature. It is the result of a collaboration among engineers of three leaders in their fields, the Carrier Corporation of Syracuse, N. Y., pioneers in air- conditioning; the American Car Foundry Co., of Philadelphia; and Santa Fe Trail ways. The interior was designed by Sterling B. McDon- ald, designer of Santa Fe Railways Super-Chief and El Capitan. All 36 seats in the new bus will recline, including the five in the rear, an entirely new feature in bus construction. Motors are suspended beneath the floor of the coach pro- viding a low center of gravity, a safety measure, as well as a smooth gliding motion to the bus. There is no skidding or swaying. Safety glass is used throughout. The new coach is absolutely dust-proof. The floor of the bus is entirely level with no depressed aisles or wheel housings to interfere with leg room. Inside racks for hand luggage extend along both sides and across the rear of the bus. A locked, weather-proof, dust-proof compartment for heavy luggage is beneath the floor of the coach. Twenty-six of the new buses will be used in the three transcontinental operations of Santa Fe Trail ways, from Chicago to Kansas City and down the Old Santa Fe Trail to Los Angeles. The System has recenlly installed an additional transconti- nental schedule over .lie short cut across the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles and furnisher the shortest route and fastest time of bus service between Chicago aud Los Angeles. The new air-con- ditioned coaches will be operated on this short cut as well as on the regular route of the Old Santa Fe Trail along the Arkansas River and across Raton Pass into New Mex- ico. Other new coaches will serve Oklahoma, Kansas and Arkuusas points. TRAILWAYS, a.b.( Travel the Trail of Tailor Made Travel” Air-Conditioned Buses WHERE THE “KANZA QUEEN” WAS ENTERTAINED IN NEW YORK The famous Hotel Governor Clinton, in New ) ork City. opposite the Penn. Station, that teas host, to last PalPs “Kama Queen” Miss Virginia Martin and her chaperone, Eula 0. .lack, when they spent several days in that placid village on the hanks of the majestic Hudson, and took in all the “high spots” of the metropolis, and were so enthralled that they never wanted to come hack home. The hotel's public relations director made complete, arrangements for their program of entertainment. When the famous old Waldorf was closing up. the beautiful Hold Gover- nor Clinton was about to open its doors, ami a score or more of the most efficient, highly-trained waiters and per- sonnel were engaged by the Hotel Gov- ernor Clinton. Pat.” the carriageman, can show you from and to your motor car with the grandeur of a duke. Kealy. the elevator starter, has probably ushered in more celebrities than any dozen or more starters put together. One of the waiters, Joe Barth, was the only waiter whom Charles M. Schwab and “Bet-You-a-Mil lion” Gates would ever have wait upon I hem. Gus Seder, expert lo liis finger tips, recently bought a ticket on the Irish Sweeps. The day before the drawing lie slipped and sprained liis back, the next day lie drew a horse. He was offered twelve thousand dollars cash for his ticket. Did he take it? No. indeed, lie had a hunch he’d win—the horse was named Plaster Cast. Plaster Cast didn't win. hut Gus got his two thou- sand dollars just the same. Then there’s another, who, for thirty years, has studied astronomy am! astrology, until today lie is a finished waiter by day. while at night he lectures before scien- tific gatherings, the very extremes of vocation and avocation. As a forecaster he is correct lo I lie canniest degree, lie foretold I lie San Francisco earthquake, and warned I lie Mayor ot llial city it was coming, lie foretold both the hur- ricanes of Florida. Lasl October he ■‘called” the typhoon in Japanese wa- ters, There is no hunch about it,—it is all based on scientific facts: the move- ments of the various planets and their “pull” upon the earth, and which move- ments are known years la advance. He can tell you of something of a startling nature that is going to happen, and where, next January, as well as the exceptional disturbances that will occur next May. All of tliis he lias shown me by his charts and calculations, lie re- recent ly told me of an experience he had with a noted clairvoyant. He had warned her against a threatened danger. She “pooh-poohed” him. feeling that her powers ol divination were greater than his scientific calculations; But upon the exact date he specified she was injured in a motor accident. The first day after leaving the hospital she rushed to the Hotel Governor Clinton (opposite the Penn. Station) and into the Grill where lie was, grabbed him by the arm and almost shouted, How could yon have told that was going to happen to me?” “But madam” he quietly replied, I thought you were a clairvoyant ” Once he told one of the stewards in the kitchen that, within six months lie would he manager of the Hotel Governor Clinton. In five months he was. Later on lie told him he was going to make a change within a week. Wholly unexpectedly, he did. It is these many colorful sides- to being a guest al the Hotel Governor Clinton that brings its patrons back, again and again. And. by the way, if you are in busi- ness, and come to New York occasion- ally. if you will write on your business stationery and ask to be put on their mailing list, you will probably receive regularly a copy of their little monthly magazine which is one of the most unique little publications ever issued by any concern in the U.

I find the location not only perfect. but the service as well.'’ —A (.leveland. Ohio, Merchant. A demure young bride, a trifle pale, her lips set in a tremulous smile, slowly stepped down the long church aisle, clinging to the arm of her father. As she readied the low platform before the altar, her slippered foot brushed a potted flower, upsetting it. She looked at the spilled dirt gravely, and then raiding her childlike eves to the benign countenance of the old minister, she muttered That’s a hell of a place lo put a lily.” “There is no question at all about the ft 'o ornus h us pil.nl' ty and friendliness that your hotel extends to its patrons bemuse have had definite experience in tlus respect,”—An Assistant Gen- eral Passenger Agent.

Little Norn Nitwit saw an article in a newspaper read- ing “Be Kind to Lobsters, Royal So_ ciety Demands,” al which Little Nora Nitwit just laughed and laughed, be- cause she knew that most girls were kind to them so long as they hail any money left. The Bellboy got a call to come to a certain room (the wrong number being given to him). Going in he caught, through the partly opened bathroom door, a glimpse of a woman in the bathtub. Hastily exiting, he stammered: “Excuse me.

THE GORDON TRANSIT CO- Maynard W, Anguin SKATING is real fun and is often called the King of Winter Sports There is something enchanting about skimming over a smooth rloor, a facination which means a source of wholesome recreation down through the years of life, for skating is suitable for all ages. Other fads and fancies come and go, but skating has added additional thousands to its followers year after year. The charleston lived and died, Mah- jong had its sway, and Flag-pole sitters caught the fancy of a country given to enthusiasms in brief. But every form of skating including hockey, racing and figure skating, and, biggest of all, PLEASURE SKATING, has shown phenominal growth. Skating was born before the bustle and now flourishes in shorts. Congratulations to the YEAR BOOK STAFF -X- -X-3C--X- -X- -X- -X--X- -X- -X- -x- GRAND TERRACE Roller Skating Rink Kansas Bdwy.
