. The Zenith 1919 VOLUME XIX PUBLISHED BY THE JUNIOR CLASS OF SIMPSON COLLEGE To our Simpson Soldiers and Sailors, we, the class of 1919, dedicate this book. We appreciate more deeply than we can ever express what our men in khaki arc doing for us, and arc proud of their loyalty to their country. Since the night of that memorable mass meeting in the gymnasium, April 13, 1917, when our first boys joined the National Guard, they have been constantly leaving school to join the colors. They are now scattered over France and Italy and England and various camps in our own country, and are serving in practically every department of the army and navy. We ask of them that they serve to the best of their ability and in the spirit of Simpson, and we pledge to them our loyal support and earnest endeavor to keep standards high here at home;—so that working together we may bring victory for democracy. “Whispering maples” rustling tell us, In the campus here to-day, How we miss our Simpson class-mates Whom our country’s called away; How, with thoughts of them we promise To our nation we’ll be true That we all may raise the standards Of democracy anew. If the sun is hot, and the wind blows cold, If things go crooked and the officers scold, Just hold up your head and do your best Because old Simpson, best school in the west, Is thinking of you all the time. You answered when you heard the nation calling; Accepted, then, our work and yours to do, And o’er the campus, still, the maples whisper That you belong to us and we to you. 9 9 Honor Roll Carl Abarr Merrill Anderson Willard Archie Ralph Aron malt Frank Beebe Percy Bott Boyd Brewer Dwight Buchtel Galyn Bullock Ralph Butler Morrell Clark Bruce Cole Gerald Cooper Oral Cunningham Glenn Daft Earl Derr Harold Dudley Walter Dunagan Ardis Farley Willis Fleetwood Harold Graves Joyce Harned William Hicks James Hoffman Ralph Hollowbll John Hughes Edmund Irving Harold Jackson Russell Jackson Carl Johnson Ross Johnson William Kelley Willard Pickard Arthur Newcomb William Pennington Jay Jackson William Knox Newell McCombs Carroll Miller Joseph Miller Paul Miller Edd Moore Cyrus Morton Ludwig Nakasian Andrew Neilson Everett Orr Richard Owens Kenneth Parks Lawrence Porter Lester Prather Everett Rea Kenneth Rowley Marion Sells Chester Shore Harry Smith Raymond Smith Walter Spriggs Merrill Standage Harrell Stewart Willard Stover Roy Taylor Joyse Tennant Paul Tilley Louis Tucker Clarence Vernon Howard Wilson Ivan Willis Ralph Wright Gayle Young Wesley Young Ernest Crabbe Clarence Harvey Clarence Hickman 9 9 6 6 oreword J HIS BOOK is the work of many hands and of many minds. It is meant for many readers. We hope you will overlook its defi- ciencies and enjoy its tale of Simpson College. The 1919 Juniors Administration Classes Music Organizations Athletics Literary 9 3 J Simpson College is entering upon the most prosperous period of her history. The Campaign for Endowment made hosts of friends for the College and this asset is proving to be quite as valuable as the splendid addition of $300,000 to her working capital. With the completion of the New Central Building, some time next year, the equipment of the College will enable her to render a service far superior to anything she has done in the past. Her scholastic standards arc not excelled by any of the col- leges of the middle West. The best Universities welcome our graduates upon pre- sentation of their diplomas. Students are coming from an ever widening area. Thirteen states were represented in Simpson’s enrollment last year. This year the War cut into the attendance of men, but more women were in Simpson this year than last year. With the coming of peace Simpson will enter upon a long upward swing of expansion and prosperity. J. W. Campbell. % Admin- istration 9 9 Rev. John F. Arnold Rev. John F. Arnold, our Executive Secretary, has been very active this year work- ing in many fields throughout Des Moines Conference. The problem of listing and locating all graduates and former students was well in hand when the fire of February 12th swept away every trace of the work. The five student secretaries who had loyally assisted in this work are again grappling with the task. For a number of weeks Rev. Arnold worked in the East for the Hoard of Educa- tion. After returning home, many letters were received urging him to go again. An excerpt from one of the letters read: “Dear Arnold: We very sincerely thank you for your valuable services rendered in the Metropolitan and Ohio Campaigns. We want to say, that even though you worked under the most difficult circumstances, you made good, therefore we beg you come again.” Definite plans are laid for financial campaigns to secure funds for the erection of our new Central Building. Rev. Arnold is in the thick of this fight. We all sincerely hope the money can be quickly secured, and are glad Dr. Arnold is helping in this campaign. We all pledge to him our loyal support. 9 9 L Jesse Allen Baker The thing of which Simpson is proudest this year is its Roll of Honor, the men who have gone to serve our country in this crisis. So, although it was our great loss, we are glad that Professor Baker, too, is helping win the war in a more direct way than he could here. Professor Baker came to Simpson almost ten years ago —in the summer of 1908. He expected to teach in sum- mer school, but instead ran straight into his romance, for he took typhoid fever, and not a great many years after married his “beautiful nurse”. In various ways Professor Baker has developed the Chemistry department. The first thing he did was to clean up the laboratory and put it in order. He sorted the thousands of bottles, built the shelves in the store room, and card-indexed all the supplies. He had new floors and new and proof desks put in and after the science building had a day current, he made the hood and fan, and later put in the large ventilating fan. He improved the water distilling apparatus and put in the steam bath, brought four splendid balances, renovated the old ones, and bought the large projcctoscopc. Now the chemistry department is one of the largest, strongest and best equipped in the school. On December 23, 1917, he left for New York to take the training for government powder inspector and now is chief inspector at the Atlas Powder Works at Landing, New Jersey. He likes his new laboratory and interesting work; but he says as soon as the war is over he is coming back to teaching, because he prefers to work with boys and girls rather than ammonium nitrate. And when one thinks of the long list of “his” boys and girls successfully practicing medicine and dentistry, engaged in ad- vanced chemistry work and teaching chemistry in high schools and colleges, one does not wonder that he’d like to make some more like them. Professor Baker won both the respect and the friendship of his students. As a teacher he was exceptionally thorough. But few men have ever been able to gain the personal friendship and deep respect of so many of their students. It is because he was personally interested in every one of them, and because he had again and again given his precious time to them for things outside of school, that his students wish to express to him their deepest appreciation and to wish him the best of success in his work. 9 9 CLYDE W.

Notwithstanding a noticeable decrease in membership due to war conditions. Never has there been a better spirit among stu- dents. All have worked together as one in carrying on the various activities of Acad- emy life. The quality of work done has been good, better than usual in some classes. An attitude of greater seriousness than usual has very generally pervaded our ranks. It is perhaps worthy of note in connection with relations between College and Academy that 100% of our last year’s senior class have been registered in Simpson since last commencement. RELIGIOUS WORK The Academy people are strong in religious work. Two days out of the week they hold their own chapels, which are led by the students themselves. The Academy chapels during part of the hast semester were devoted to the study of the Northficld Plan. The study was led by one of the Academy teachers and the discussion was ably carried on by the students. The Academy prayer meetings which are held every two weeks show what the religious life of that body of people really means to them. The meetings arc largely led by the students. It is a great means of developing religious leaders. The services are well attended and when the leader throws the meeting open to prayer and testi- mony, it is a regular pop corn meeting. It might be well to add here that although the students themselves take charge of and lead the religious meetings they are tactfully guided by the Academy teachers. We are proud of our teachers and the help we have received from their lives and their interest in us will be a lasting influence after we are separated from them and go to meet the problems of life. ATHLETICS The year’s record in athletics has suffered because of a scarcity of material. This department has suffered more than any other because of the selective draft. In spite of this fact a small inexperienced squad worked hard under Coach Dillon’s training and showed remarkable improvement in the end. They were able to win one game out of four. Captain Percy llott, the only one from last year’s team, was drafted the day before the first game, leaving all inexperienced men. Those receiving monograms were Clayburg (captain), Black, Griffin, Green, Johnston, and C. Smith. Honors were taken at the Penn Academy invitation track meet of 1917 by Ray Johnston and Raymond Smith, Johnston taking 1st in the quarter mile, 2nd in 100-yard dash, and 3rd in the shot put and high jump, and Smith taking 2nd in the half mile. OUR HONOR ROLL We regret very much the absence of a number of our boys, who arc in the service of Uncle Sam, helping to win the struggle for truth and right. We miss them in our athletics, in our societies, and in our class rooms; but it is with admiration that we scan the following honor roll and note that the persons here represented in name were among the best representatives of our Academy spirit—those who will forever keep flaunting the Red and Gold.

No woman’s education is complete until the fundamentals of Home Making have been learned. The aim of civilization is happy homes. Home-making and House-keeping arc a science and an art. It is a shallow culture which slights these essentials. The introduction of college courses in Home Economics has digni- fied and ennobled woman’s work and introduced intelligence, system, economy and efficiency into a field that often before was governed by mere chance. There is insistent demand for teachers, designers, dietitians, nurses, as well as for edu- cated wives and mothers. There is no doubt that this branch of education pays. The call for educated women who know how to do things is limitless. It is the aim of Simpson College to maintain the Home Economics Department at the highest possible standard and afford young women an opportunity of preparation for a definite and practical life-work while enjoying the general cultural influences of a standard College. Our graduates are not the product of a purely technical institution where they have felt nothing but the call of their profession. They have come into contact with the movements of a larger world, have felt the refining effects of a liberal education, and have seen the visions of service that widen the horizons of youth. The Home Economics Department at Simpson, although but three years old (1917), already has developed into a course which merits the commendation of state officials. A letter from the Honorable A. M. Dcyoe, Superintendent of the Department of Public Instruction of the State of Iowa, says, “We arc glad to say that your Home Economics Department meets the most stringent requirements.” This letter is signed by Mr. Deyoe and also by Air. John L. Cherny, Inspector of Rural and Consolidated Schools, who writes, “In speaking for the consolidated schools, will say that the gradu- ates from the Home Economics course as outlined in your catalogue for 1917 will be most gladly accepted as instructors in this subject in any of our Iowa consolidated schools.” Aiiss Peters and Aliss McCay have carried on the splendid work of Aiiss Bass last year, and are making the department constantly more efficient and useful. Every girl is enjoying the work a great deal, and our graduates are going out to fill responsible positions. 9 9 Pcddicord, Lippincott. Merritt. Hiatt GROUP OF STUDENTS A GLIMPSE AT THE WORKERS I Our Conservatory is credited ii'ith being one of the very best in the West. It holds this reputation because the training given is very thorough and is conducted according to the best and most up-to-date methods. The general plan of work and the courses of study are modeled after the best schools of Europe. The Conservatory offers exceptionally good train- ing in voice culture, piano, violin and teaching methods, including in these courses history and the- ory of music. Prospective students all over the state hear of our conservatory and arc attracted to it by the enviable reputation which it holds. 1 reputation which is growing and becoming more far-reaching from year to year. The students who graduate and go out from year to year arc a testimony to the splendid training which is given here. 19 9 x 3 7 - _____________ _ i Prof. E. E. Barrows There is something significant in the fact that the Simpson Conservatory is one of the very best in the state. There has been one man responsible for this reputation which the music department en- joys and that is our director, F. E. Barrows. Through his untiring efforts and conscientious work through these many years in which he has been here at its head, the conservatory has grown from almost nothing to what it is now. The faculty is composed of artists who have in their turn studied under instructors and teachers of first rank in this country and abroad. The students arc given the opportunity to take advan- tage of the broadening influences of college life, for it is necessary to broaden out and develop in character and breadth of soul in order to intelligently interpret the thoughts of the great masters. In reviewing the work of this year it must be remembered that it has been broken into by the War and many of the men have answered the call to service. Glee Club work was not undertaken for the reason that has been mentioned. An organization was formed, however, known as the Twelve Scrcnaders. It is made up of twelve picked voices from the school and trained by Prof. Rhodes. Under the leadership of Prof. Rhodes another organization was formed, called the Choral Union. They furnished the choir music at the First Methodist Church and sang for various special occasions. They prepared and gave several beautiful cantatas for vesper service. There were about seventy-five people in this chorus and under the efficient leadership of Prof. Rhodes they made a very creditable showing indeed. Last summer our Conservatory was represented on the Midland Chautauqua Bureau by Prof. Rhodes, Ada Tilley, Lola Critchficld and Tom Reed. These four singers with a reader from out of town formed a company known as the Rhodes Fes- tival Quintette. Prof. Rhodes and Miss Tilley arc planning on going out again this summer with the Midland Bureau and in company of the same name as they went by last year. In addition to these, the Misses Susie Waechtcr and Vera and Ilo Moore have signed up for orchestra work with the Jones Chautauqua Company for the summer. Summing up the work, it has been a very successful year, though the students have not undertaken so many concerts and entertainments, yet the real training has gone on as thoroughly and zealously as ever. 9 9 JAe CHS e niffi Ellis M.

The literary soci- eties arc good places to gain the poise and convincing delivery we will need when zee make our first speech in Congress, and it is the goal of every student's life to he admitted to some of the Seminar classes. These are groups of the best students in each department, who meet together for further research. IVe are proud of the work of our literary organ- izations during this year, and arc sure that the stu- dents ivho have availed themselves of these privi- leges have received benefit from them. 9 9 Zetalethean Literary Society Founded 1867 First Semester Josephine Hiatt Estelle Snow Ruth Jackson Olive Slocum Agnes Wright Jessie Shannon Vera Hollowell Irene Welsh er OFFICERS President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Critics Consuls Second Semester Esther Peddicord Ruth Jackson Ruth Campbell Aletha Earhart Rose Tennant Olive Slocum Fern Shannon Katherine Anderson ROLL Alice Baker Esther Baker Maud Banks Bessie Boileau Lulu Bryan Aletha Earhart Marie Gass Margaret Griffith Rachel Marked Josephine Hiatt Vera Hollowell Grace Hughes Ruth Jackson Mildred Johnson Louise Kern Ruth Kirkendall Gladys Merritt Ruby Miller Ruth Miller Esther Peddicord Eugenia Shaw Fern Shannon Jessie Shannon Effie Noble Marie Sheets Marion Simpson Olive Slocum Estelle Snow Helen Spry Nell Talbot Rose Tennant Irene Welsh er Carol Willis Agnes Wright Alice Wright Helen Wright Winnifred Seay Viola Briggs Ruth Campbell Gertrude Minor Lois Roberts Neva Replogle Neva Nixon Florence Balmer Ruth Snow Katharine Anderson Blanche Long Margaret Kirkendall 9 9 FIRST ROW—Noble.

Always to age and to wisdom is given The measure of honor and deep fealty; Thus, now, a great love and great veneration Thy daughters bring, Zetalcthean, to thee. Thine is the right of the aged and revered Thine is the laurel and fame; thou hast earned it; Take it; we pledge thee devotion anew. The reverend owl still is perched in his corner The passing of years has but widened his wisdom; Steady as ever his. sure winged flight Bright is his eye altho gray arc his pinions. Knowledge and patience do passing years bring; Sure is his flight and great is his learning; Xor stops he nor heeds the long years on the wing. Perched in his corner the old owl has listened To the gay sounds of a long ended day Voices of laughter or solemn endeavor;— Ghost voices now, which still linger and stay. Heard the echoes of music and noises of footsteps Faint rustlings of silks and the swishing of lace; Seen a laughing procession of girls who have vanished, And girls who have followed to reign in their place. Still may dear memories cling to thy threshhold Still may they win swift and sure victory; Many thy triumphs and many thy glories May the years bring, Zetalcthean, to thee. S. A.

He tried various forms of amusement, Theaters, prize-fights and such, But nothing like that seemed to please him, Excitement was lacking so much. Me went from one land to another, Seeking for that which might fill His desire for the unusual experience Which was growing and increasing still. Failing to find what he sought for, He returned to his home in despair, With a feeling that life was a failure With nothing of interest to spare. But one day lie was requested, Through a very polite little note, To come to Alp meeting and tell us Of his travels in countries remote. With a feeling of total indifference He decided to grant the request, Choosing the things for his topics Which he imagined would please us the best. He arrived at the meeting of Alpians A little early—in order to view The progress and style of the meeting Which to him was indeed something new. And wonder of wonders! there happened, Right there in old Alpian Hall, A change in that man who had travelled All over the terrestrial ball. In this meeting, where he’d little expected To find that for which long he had sought, Came the fulfillment of wishes despaired of In the eloquent expressions of thought. So now, if you will allow me, I’ll give you a little advice. If you’re hunting for knowledge and glory You’ll acquire it at Alp in a trice. D. G.

I suppose if we both have to lie up here on this shelf day in and day out as we have been doing for the last eight or ten months we might as well make up, although I did vow that 1 would never speak to you again after that day when you insinuated that you were getting more popular than I. Where has your popularity gone, I wonder? To tell the truth, I think we arc both back numbers. Your sides arc beginning to warp and I feel as though I am getting rusty. I wonder what has happened ?” “Well, Miss Crochet Hook, since you are willing to make up, I am too. I think I know a great deal more of what is going on about us than you do and if you wish, I think I can enlighten you somewhat as to the reason of our unpopularity.” “All right, sped away”. “Well, in the first place, the reason that we are so sadly neglected, is that two long, slender things called knitting needles have come to take our place. When ever the girls go out they take with them a huge bag, ten times as large as the one they used to carry me in, and when other girls come here they bring a similar bag with them. The things that they make with these kneedles arc queer looking articles which they call sweaters. But they arc usually just long brown or gray strips with holes in the center. I never saw sweaters without sleeves before. Sometimes, though, they use four needles which look quite a bit like you, Miss Crochet Hook, and then they make socks. Perhaps you remember that the girl’s chief topics of conversation used to be parties and teas or fancy work. But now they seem to be interested in other things. The words that I hear them use most to-day arc, “Kaiser”, “Germany”, “soldier boy” and “conservation”. It seems that the United States, and many other countries, arc at war against Germany and every one has it in for the Kaiser who I take it is the leader of that country. About a year ago the family here had a newspaper which had printed in large letters on the front page, “President Wilson calls for Volunteers”. The oldest boy of the family looked at it and said, “That means me” and in a few weeks I saw him tell the folks good-bye and leave. Not long afterward he came home wearing a khaki suit and a funny cow-boy hat. He also had a sweater like the girls have been making. For sometime he came home every few weeks for a visit but now he doesn’t come aiiy more, and I’ve heard the folks talking about the ship that he was on and then one day they were all excited over a letter from him written, “Somewhere in France”. They seem to be awfully anxious about something. The youngest boy keeps wondering when his big brother is going to send him a lock of the Kaiser’s whiskers as he promised he would. But the older folks only smile and seem to be thinking of something else. “Well, Miss Crochet Hook, are you asleep?” “Oh, no, Miss Shuttle, quite the contrary. I have been all cars. Why I didn't know that such things were happening. Now I think I shall keep awake and try to learn something for myself. Say, we started to ‘talk about our unpopularity didn’t we? But if such great things as these are going on I don’t care if we arc back numbers do you? For it seems that the world needs something besides the frivolous things that we are able to give them and if those long knitting needles can supply the need I, for one, am willing to give up my place to them.” G.

It was promoted and established under the direction of Aiiss Steele, the French instructor, and was originally made up of members of the three upper classes, but later, all those of much promise in the Freshman French class were admitted to membership. Lc Ccrclc meets once every three weeks, and it is at these seances that the wonderful talent and scintillating brilliancy of its members arc truly displayed. The programmes are full of rare humor, French idioms and profound research work,—in the realms of the French dictionary. In addition to this, several theatrical geniouscs have been discovered in the ranks of the club, and have made successful debuts before the club. The latter part of the meeting is generally taken up with the learning and singing of French patriotic songs. The club, in connection with the rest of the French Department, is now providing for the maintenance of a French war-orphan, Mile. Yvonne Morit of Nantes, France, and receives letters from her. Its successful efforts in inspiring its members to higher efforts, combined with its altruistic aims, have more than justified its existence and it is certain that this new member in the Simpson Literary World will prove to be one of its most thriving organizations. 919 Established October 1, 1870 The Official Student Paper of Simpson College Published Every Monday of the School Year THE MANAGEMENT Estelle Snow Editor | Paul L.

Debate stands very high in the curriculum of College activities. Again Prof. Dennis’ debate teams have been in- vincible. which is due in large measure to his tireless efforts as our debate coach. Simpson College is proud of its debaters and orators and zve are more than proud of its wonderful record, established during the last two years. 9 9 Professor W. C. Dennis Once! more Simpson has maintained her po- sition in the field of Oratory. Under the personal direction and supervision of Prof. W. C. Dennis, the school of oratory and de- bate in Simpson has been raised to a standard, perhaps equaled, but in no way exceeded by the other schools of the state. Prof. Dennis understands the principles of oratory and debate, as well as the finer points. Besides receiving his A. B. degree from Ohio Wesleyan and doing graduate work there, he has the honor of holding a degree from the Cumnoch School of Oratory at Northwestern University. In addition to his work as a student lie has the practical experience and ability acquired from many years of teach- ing in this department. All of the men’s collegiate debaters were new men at the game but have more than proven themselves worthy of the honor of representing Simpson forensics on the debate platform, by winning every debate. The girls also won their triangular debate with Penn and Parsons. The year 1917-18 in oratory has been somewhat handi- capped by reason of the enlistment in the army of many of our boys. However, the home contest was held with three orators, John Chew winning first, entitling him to the Marsh Gold Medal given by John L. Horsley of Chicago, an alumnus of Simpson. This also entitled Mr. Chew to the honor of representing his college in the State contest. In the Holladay Contest of 1917, Mr. Chew won first and received the prize of fifteen dollars. Both the Local and State Peace Contests were omitted on account of the war. There was no local Prohibition contest held this year, but B. F. Hamilton was selected to represent the college in the State Contest. Mr. Hamilton will no doubt give a good account of himself at this contest. 9 9 President.........................................Donald Shaw Vice-President.......................Jessie Shannon Secretary...............................

Of these, the former is the most important, because it is responsible for the financial end of our athletics. Perhaps some do not realize it, but every student in school is a member of this organization. Membership is compulsory and the dues arc collected by the College, which appropriates a certain per cent of the amount paid for semester fees to this organization. In this way the athletics of Simpson College arc insured. Of a more spectacular sort, is the work done by the Joshua Club. This club is responsible for the school pep, and, like the Athletic Association, takes in every member of the student body. It has a President and Yell Leaders, and it rests with these to keep the old Simpson spirit alive. Their duties, in this attempt, may be many and varied, but, no matter what the purpose of the display of pep, they arc supposed tp put a kick into it and send it over the top with a vengeance. The officers for this year were: President, Ted Simpson, and Yell Leaders, Frank Beebe and Everett Ruby. Through their untiring activity and strenuous leading, the old pep was kept going through defeat and victory during the entire year. However, this work would have gone for nought, had it not been for the cooperation of the student body. After all, it is the student body that holds the key to the situation, so it is up to every one of us to line up each year with the Joshua Club, and hit the line hard and low, and help to carry Simpson over the top of every obstacle with colors flying and spirit unbroken. 4 Football When the students of Simpson College look back upon the football record for the season of 1917 they should experience a feeling of pride because their team, a team which in spite of the heaviest handicap, finished the season in a style worthy of a championship team. When the call for men was sent out by Coach Dillon only two men of previous varsity experience reported, the rest of the squad being made up of men who had never at any time entered a game of college football. Undaunted by the prospect of having to build a team out of green material the coach set to work and within two weeks sent a team to Ames, which though beaten, won the respect of the Aggies because of its fighting spirit. Another week of hard work followed and was closed by a defeat by Highland Park. However, the team worked well against Highland and showed much improvement over its first game. It must be noted here that the team improved steadily throughout the season and never once fell into a slump. The week following the Highland Park game, the strong Parsons aggregation invaded our stronghold and by dint of much experience and weight overwhelmed our warriors by a heavy score. Next came Iowa Wesleyan and they fared somewhat worse than Parsons. We limited them to two touchdowns and things took on a more rosy hue but alas again the sky was overcast when the mighty Cornell eleven took us into part of their home training grounds by an overwhelming score. From this time on, however, Simpson stock began to climb and the next Saturday we journeyed to Oskaloosa to play the much touted Quakers. It would have been hard to recognize the team that went up against Penn as the same team which had faced Ames a few weeks before. The men played like veterans and outplayed and outfought the Quakers but they lacked the punch to put over the winning score and were defeated by a score of 7 to 3. This near victory was followed by another great upheaval of dope. The lusty youths from Coe descended upon us with visions of an easy victory only to be rudely startled out of their sleep and completely out played throughout one half of the game. In spite of this, however, they came back and by hard, clean playing took the bacon on a five point margin. With but one game remaining both coach and team went to work in dead earnest and with a determination to show our traditional enemy Drake the battle of its life. The game was played on the home field before a large crowd. The team was in the pink of condition and the fight which was put up will be remembered for years. Facing a weight handicap of 23 pounds to the man, the men fought like fiends and throughout most of the game outplayed the blue and white men. We took the lead in the first quarter and held it until the third when a forward pass tied the score. During the rest of the game neither team scored and the season was brought to a fitting climax by a 7 to 7 tie with Drake. A great deal of credit is due Coach Dillon, for his ability in developing men is largely responsible for the showing made by the team and with another season during which to work with the men he will undoubtedly turn out a winner. 919 6 6 Following the Pig-skin William Pcnington Senior Weight 163 End Pill has played his last year for Simpson and shown some real football. Though handicapped by injuries during a part of the season he came back strong and in the Drake game—Oh Boy, he stopped them all. Everett Ruby Senior Weight 130 Halfback The biggest little man on the team. One of those people who never say die. He was playing his first year but his fight and speed made him an asset to the team without which it would have been severely handicapped. He achieved his greatest fame by his 45 yard run against Coe. Jesse Haldcn (Captain) Junior Weight 152 Tackle In spite of the responsibility entailed by the captaincy, Jesse played a strong and consistent game throughout the season. He had the fighting spirit and he kept in every play until the ball was downed. James Hofman Junior Weight 129 Quarterback The best backficld man on the team and a hard man to stop, because of his speed and dodging ability. He wrote his name across the sky by scoring against Drake. Frederick Simpson Junior Weight 159 Guard We know this bird too well to say anything good about him and we are afraid to tell the truth for fear he will get mad so we won’t say anything at all. (Ted wrote this himself, so don’t mind—Ed.) Willard Pickard Sophomore Weight 130 Halfback A shifty, fast halfback who could sift around end like a veteran. Pick came to us from jndianola High where he had played for 3 years and he made a name for himself with his freshman squad and came as a welcome addition to this year’s team. 919 Wayne Jones Weight 133 Sophomore Fullback A good example of Dillon’s ability to develop a player who will try. Jones was new at the game but before the season closed he was bucking the line like an old timer. He was absolutely reliable on offense or defense. George Fisher Sophomore Weight 152 Center Played every minute of the season and his opponents always knew he was there. An excellent judge of plays and a stone wall in front of them. Willard Stover Sophomore Weight 146 Guard Our red headed lineman. A most consistent worker who had the stamina to stand the strongest plunges and generally stop them. Arthur Newcombc Sophomore Weight 140 End The most experienced player on the team. He could stop them all. A product of the Corning High School and his training there made him a valuable man on the team. Played all season with a badly crippled foot, or nothing could have kept him from State honors at end. Wiley Hartzcll Sophomore Weight 153 Guard A fierce tackier who was in every play a holy terror to the opposition. Always full of pep. Wiley was the life of the team in many a trying game. Coach Dillon is planning on building his team around Hartzell next fall. Clarence Hickman Weight 157 A steady, strong, player who was always in the game. Sophomore Tackle and a hard tackier. A good offensive player He was a valuable cog in Simpson’s machine. Non-Letter Men. There is perhaps no group of men in Simpson athletics who deserves more credit and receive less recognition than those who by their faithful and hard work make it possible for the school to have a better team to represent it. These men not only keep the varsity in shape by their constant efforts but arc one of the chief factors in the up-keep of school pep. They keep that old fighting spirit alive and are an inspiration net only to the varsity men but to the entire student body who we arc sure will join us in the cry “All honor to the ‘scrubs’ 9 9 G 6 The 1917 Track Season The 1917 track season burst upon us with an outlook far brighter than that of any previous year, for with a wealth of material on hands it looked like a Simpson season. Nor were we disappointed in our expectations, for under the leadership of Captain Daft the team was led from victory to victory with an exhilirating regularity. The season opened with an indoor meet with Drake. This was our first meet with Drake in several years and we went in for blood. The result, to say the least, was highly gratifying for out of a possible 8 firsts we grabbed 7, losing out only in the 35- yard dash and in this we took second. Total score amassed by the Red and Gold exceeded that of the Blue and White by 22 points so we copped the bacon in a style that was not the least bit doubtful or apologetic. Following this signal victory came the Drake Relays. We also ran but after this a great joy came unto us for when the dust settled after the “Little 7” meet it was discovered that Simpson had garnered 55 points giving her a margin of 25 points over her nearest rival. The last event of the season, the Conference Meet, was held at Grinnell and, while we did not win, still we did not do too bad, but finished fourth with a creditable score of 19 points on our side. We have been looking forward to the 1918 season. Our hopes arc not so bright however for we have lost nearly every point winner of last year’s team. However we arc no worse off than the rest and we will wait and work and hope for the best. 9 9 6 6 Irack Summary To sum up, the Simpson College track season for the year 1917 was one of the most successful seasons which we have experienced in recent years. At the beginning of the season, the Coach, because of the brightness of our prospects arranged a very heavy schedule of six classy meets. Starting out with a large squad, the Coach had plenty of material to pick from and the final tryouts left Graves, Hendrickson, Dunagan, Owens, Stewart, Pickard, Sheppard, Tennant, Sperrow, and Captain Daft to represent the school. The two largest meets we entered were the State and the Missouri Valley Meets. It was in these meets that the strength of the team was really put to the test, and it did not fail, for in the distance runs, men like Daft and Dunagan could be counted on to place in any meet, while Hendrickson and Stewart added to the points secured in the field events. Hendrickson won third in the high hurdles, fifth in the high jump and second in the pole vault in the State meet; and Dunagan won fourth in the two- mile in the Missouri Valley. It is sufficient to say that Simpson came out of both meets with ? showing for which she may be justly proud. Looking backwards over the track season is then a real pleasure to us, and we can with a full heart thank Coach Dillon for his excellent work, and bow down before our track men who so honorably bore the emblem of old Simpson through so many contests. 9 9 e ni Ar 9 9 9 9 Basketball Season After coming up to the opening of the season with the brightest prospects we have had in years the Simpson College basketball team failed to get under headway until the middle of the season and were forced into fifth place in the state and third in the conference. The season, however, was by no means a failure, for while we lost to our old rival Grinncll we experienced the exquisite beatitude of rollicking over Drake with a crushing vehemence, so while at times our diet seemed all wormwood and gall, still we have tasted the milk and honey of victory, we have had our cup of joy filled to overflowing and we feel that fortune has given us our share of smiles along with the frowns. The season opened on the night of December 14th when the team met Ames at Ames. The game was well fought and the Red and Gold outscored the Aggies on field goals only to fall before the deadly eye of Captain Morgan who tossed 11 free throws and turned the tide against us. Following this defeat the Camp Dodge Officers handed us an 18 to 21 score. This team lost only two games during the season in which they played some of the strongest teams in the middle west so our score is something to be proud of. Our first taste of the sweets of victory came when we romped off with the long end of the Garver Hardware score, tacking up a total of 29 to our opponent’s 14. This brightened the horizon some but there soon came another cloud and the cyclone struck leaving us underneath by a 20 to 12 handicap with Drake rolling high. Undaunted by this blow the team journeyed to Omaha and held Creighton University, claimants to the Missouri Valley title to the closest score that they played against this season. The Simpsonitcs led the Westerners at the end of the first half but a total of 13 out of 23 free throws gave the Catholics the game. In the next three rounds fortune dealt the Gold good hands and we stole the pot from Iowa Wesleyan by a 21 to 18 score, repeated the next week by overwhelming Penn 33 to 28 and followed by smashing Dcs Moines with a 23 to 14 jolt. Our joy was short lived, however, for the next week the Cornell scoring machine rolled over us and made 42 to our 22 points. The following week the sun rose never to set again and we dragged Drake 53 times around the arena while they were scoring 8 paltry free throws—“Oh, death, where is thy sting?”—not even the loss of the next two games with Iowa Wesleyan and Cornell could dampen our ardor. We did not even notice them. The first went by an 8 to 18 score while in the latter we held the famous Corncllians to a 35 to 27 score. The night following the Cornell fracas the team rolled into Cedar Rapids and toyed with the Coe lads for some 40 minutes and soaked a 21 to 14 score out of them. This seemed to animate our boys and they came home and showed the local fans how to trim Dcs Moines. This was the second time that Des Moines had fallen so the locals were easy on them, limiting themselves to a 32 to 10 score. At this stage Grinncll appeared in the offing and took up the gage of battle and in the last game of the season before a great crowd the Red and Gold went down to defeat. The game was the fastest, cleanest and hardest fought game of the season. The locals played in great form but luck was against them and the Scarlet and Black won by a three point lead the score being 24 to 21. 9 9 This ended the season of 1917-18, a season which yielded some sorrows but which filled us to the brim with joy and we can sit back in our easy chairs with a smile upon our faces and wait for next year.

Nineteen High School teams were entered and the process of elimination was accompanied by many keen battles and of which Melee, Elliston and Dallas Center rose to the final battle. Elliston won this contest after a hard fight. Since this district was permitted to send two teams to the state meet both of the final contestants were sent to Iowa City. Through the generosity of the people of Indianola we were enabled to furnish entertainment to all of the teams attending the meet. The attendance at the games was so good that we paid all incidental expenses and shared almost two hundred dollars among the competing schools. The all tournament team was picked as follows: First team Wilhelm Hicks Denton Carter Shafroth Honorable Mention Shocsmith, Guthrie Center; Kellogg, Corning; Gossett, Clarinda; L. Shaw, Stuart; L. Miller. Elleston; Spurgeon, Indianola; Kron, Elliston; Nagle, Red Oak. Elliston Dallas Center Corning forward 44 center guard 9 9 While the record of the Simpson Baseball team of 1917 shows nothing but defeats, we may still be proud of our team because of its spirit of never quitting. Handicapped at the opening of the season by the enlistment of the captain and several of the star performers, Coach “Obie” Hamilton set to work. The squad was composed largely of green men and it rounded into shape slowly, but gave promise of becoming in a few weeks a very creditable machine. The schedule was opened by a game with Ames, in which the Aggies romped over us at a great rate and won by the topheavy score of 19 to 3. This did not discourage the coach, however, and he came back in the next game and although forced, because of more enlistments, to use several new men tied the strong Central College nine with a 2 to 2 score. The following Friday we were to play Coe at home, but a heavy rain interfered and at the hast minute the game was called off. With one more week to practice before the second Ames game the “back to the farm” movement struck the school and when the team faced Ames there were only two men in the lineup who had played against them two weeks before. Needless to say, the Aggies repeated their previous performance and took us into camp by a 11 to 0 score. In spite of these defeats and in the face of steady draining away of our players, the team went on through the season. On a two day trip to Cedar Rapids and Mount Vernon, they received an 8 to 3 defeat at the hands of Coe, and a 9 to 0 defeat at Cornell. The following week saw the last game of the season in which we took on Central College for the second time and lost to them by a 4 to 2 score. Although we did not win a game all season, the defeats we received were “defeats without a sting”, because when we look beyond the defeats at their cause, we can be, and justly too, very proud; for our weak team was due almost entirely to the fact that practically every player, along with many younger men, had gone to serve in the United States Army. This justifies our pride in our losing team and allows us to keep our place along the other school in baseball. 9 9 ENDOWMENT LIFE INSURANCE Where Will You Be at 65 f From an extensive investigation, made by the American Bankers Association, it has been found, that out of 100 average men at 25, 64 will be living at age 65, and that these 64 will be situated as follows: 1 ONLY WILL BE WEALTHY 4 WILL BE WELL-TO-DO 5 WILL BE IN MODERATE CIRCUMSTANCES 54 WILL BE DEPENDENT UPON FRIENDS.

Every girl is required to take scientific gymnasium work, and the Simpson girls show the effects of this in their splendid health. There are more sports for the girls to compete in than for the hoys. Basketball, tennis, track, golf, hiking, hockey, indoor baseball, volley ball, and captain ball are but a few of the many sports open to girls. Every Simpson girl is an enthusiast for whole- some athletics. s 9 9 Departmental Notes Miss Katherine Frisbie, who came to us in the fall from the Illinois Woman’s College has completed a most successful year in the Simpson Department of Physical Training for Women. Miss Frisbie received her degree of Bachelor of Arts from Elmira College, Elmira, New York. She later completed her training in Physical Education at the Normal School of Physical Education, Battle Creek, Mich. That she is wonderfully trained and fitted for her work has been conclusively proven by the progress made in all gymnasium classes during the year. The freshmen and sophomore classes have received a thorough training in formal gymnastics, in which the various types of exercise, hygiene, educational, re creative and corrective were systematically given, a proportional amount of Folk Dancing and rhythmic work being included. The section of aesthetic dancing is' more complete this year than ever before. The girls find much pleasure in the work and have also received much benefit from it. The dances given have been entirely new, including many of the dances by Louis Chalif. Another course which is exceedingly practical is the course in Methods of Teaching Physical Training. It is designed to aid young women who arc called upon to teach Physical Training in connection with other high school or grade work. The course includes special instruction in Play-ground Methods, Story Telling, and Folk Dancing; also a study of the Swedish, German, and American systems of gymnastics and their possibilities; the types and amount of exercises adapted to different ages and individuals, with special application to Public School systems. Each year marks an immense increase in the enthusiasm for girls’ athletics. Basket- ball, track, tennis, indoor baseball, and cross country hiking have appealed to the majority of the girls in school. The department aims for an all around development of each girl in the school. When this aim is reached she will have a love for the out of doors; a love of clean sports for their own sake; not for the sake of competition and with this will be developed a desire for all kinds of physical training, and the realization of the necessity of good lung capacity, precision of movement, and physical endurance. 9 9 Meccawee Board FIRST ROW—Lippincott (Vice-President), Holverxtott (President).

Whether the crippled condition of men’s athletics has given this unusual strength to the Meccawcc activities or not, it is a noticeable fact that girls’ athletics have picked up both in interest and in skill. The basketball season lasted twelve weeks and about forty girls attended practice regularly twice a week. All four classes had organized teams and during the practice games, each team had opportunities to try out their strength against all of the other teams. The grand final to which the practice games led was the annual Girls’ Basket- ball Tournament. It was evident that the tournament of this year created more of a stir on the campus than heretofore; more enthusiasm was displayed by the school as a whole. The games were better attended, the cheering more animated, whether this was due to the effect of the stringent war times on the audience, or to an added efficiency on the part of the players is not known. But it was a more worthy feature of the tournament. The Sophomore-Freshman game, staged the first night of the scries started the tourney off with a fighting spirit, and the report from this spicy combat advertised the coming games in such a way that the enthusiasm did not lag during the entire tournament. The contest was narrowed to a final game between the Sophomores and Seniors. Feeling ran high about that game. The canny sons of Simpson even deemed it worthy of making it a sporting proposition, which was the sinccrcst flattery they could have tendered. It was commonly admitted that the game gave the onlookers as many thrills as did many of the men’s Varsity games staged on the floor this year. The Seniors won the struggle but they worked for it. The Zenith of Girls’ Basket- ball was reached in that game. Technique, speed, teamwork,—it was all there; a credit to Simpson coaching and Simpson practice. The girls who were chosen for the first Varsity team were Anna Harvey, Iru Lippin- cott, Lenice Lillie, Ruby Moore, Lucile Porter, Mary Samson, Ethel Saur and Martha Stewart. The girls who were chosen for the second Varsity team were Maude Banks, Ruth Campbell, Margaret Conrad, Marie McClaren, Jessica Milligan, Marion Simpson and Ruth Snow. 9 9 9 9 Helen Wright- Glee Holverstott Josephine Hiatt 9 9 REPRESENTATIVE MEN OF SIMPSON 9 9 '‘‘‘Mobilizing Woman Power In this time of bloody war and frightful turmoil, great minds are at work. The world needs minds and machines to save time, space, labor, and money. Never more than in this age has the world needed the women. When the day comes that we can look back quietly on these stressful years, we shall follow to its source the coming of the woman into this great war. If democracy wins, the woman-half of the world will come out of the war with a larger freedom than we could otherwise expect for a hundred years. Our period of neutrality has ended. Women are answering the call to service. On all sides, at first, one heard the cry, “What can we do? We want work.” When no satisfactory answer came, women sought to serve by devising work, by asking what French and English women were doing; by hastening hither and yon in a series of activities, some useful and some not. Women organizations began to convert machinery to war purposes. The National League for Woman’s Service began its work. Groups of women of special training, food experts, nurses, physi- cians, college women, business-women, began to look about on every side to sec where they could fit into the war machine. Hut this outbreak of zeal was not a new thing in the woman’s world. The same was true in the Civil War, when the Sanitary Commission was formed. Women’s work could not be effective unless centralized in Washington. How differently this centralization was effected in 1917 from that in 1861! Fifty-seven years ago there was no authorized governmental machinery for forming an official committee of women. Fifty-seven years ago, the names of men headed the Sanitary Commission. 1917 found the women in control. Again, 1917 found the Government with an agency fitted to create the official committee. This agency is the Council of National Defense. This Council of thirteen members, six Cabinet men, and seven civilians requires the aid of all resources, human and material. It is this Council which has created the Woman’s Committee to mobilize woman power for war service. Unpredictable as is this wonder year of all the ages, 1918, the women of the world shall have a large part in its journey of discovery. Governments and powers must have the hands and hearts of the girls and women. It is a chance that States- men would envy! The trumpet call has sounded. Let us follow the Master whose name we have on our insignia. To-day, leadership stretches far beyond the group to which are delegated the specific tasks of direction and administration. There is a responsibility for every woman; the woman in society, in college, in politics, in business, in the factory, in the home, or in foreign lands. The world will demand more of women in the future. The soldiers who come back to us, will expect a different type of womanhood. Women in politics revolutionize political machinery, take out the sordidness, the graft, and greed. Help to purify politics and keep it from decay. Society girl, sink the issue of your life with the life of all the world. American girl of wealth and position, of energy and talents,— there is a tremendous change in store for you. There is a tremendous force working for your salvation, and that is the war. Once you enter service, really encounter the suffering and misery 9 £ at first hand, and realize them as actualities, your horizon will widen. You will never be content to return to the old order of things, to the daily round of gaiety, to the excitement and sports for the mere sake of the excitement. In the devotion to the work you have set yourself to do, in the uplift, the new outlook on life, the new manner of living, you will have tasted the fruits of a new existence. This is a call to union, a call to work under one banner, a call to co-ordinate the wide-spread woman's effort. The machinery of the Woman’s committee is nation- wide. It must take in every woman, organized and unorganized,—the women of the city, the village, and country side. The plan of mustering is simple and direct. What docs the Woman’s Committee demand of the town? It asks for a central committee in which every society, every church, every school in the community shall be represented. Every woman must be reached, rich or poor, black or white, Catholic, Jewish, or Protestant. Is this possible? To-day, the Government’s work is to release power of all kinds, man-power, money-power, woman-power, and turn it to war purposes. Active co-operation of each individual is needed. There must be re-adjustments. We must take men’s places. Men in vast numbers are being drawn from normal activities. We must decide where we arc best fitted, at home in the United States, or abroad. “This is no amateur war. It is no war for the untrained, no war for those who would give two hours of twenty-four hours of idle time. It is a war for hard professional labor. Learn to do something and do it well.” This is the counsel of the Woman’s Committee. “What are France and England doing? In France, the school system is central- ized at Paris. By post, telephone, or telegraph it is possible to reach every school teacher in all France. She is the Government’s representative. It is she who ex- plains the war needs, the war loans, and the war wishes of the Government. In England to-day—the changed, war-time England of 1918—even the housewife is in the firing line. The larder is her trench. She can by her knowledge and foresight defend it and help to defeat the Germans. How she has worked to build up and pack in the supports of that home trench! Her work did not begin with the food that come into her larder. No, she decided how much and what food was to occupy its shelves. She did not wait for some one to tell her what and how to economize. Yes, the poor did wait; but the poor have no larders, they consume as they buy. So it was the middle class housewives of England who answered the call for voluntary rationing. They became canvassers, speakers, and distributors. They entered into the economy both as pupils and workers. Many dismissed their cooks and maids, and were glad of the training themselves for work they had never done before. One of the most valuable donations English women have made is the releasing of domestic servants for war work. New food substitutes are stocked and exhibited in store windows. The use of these substitutes has forced the English woman to learn something of the scientific side of food. She has gone still further in the past. She has converted vacant lots and beautiful lawns into well-kept vegetable gardens. Here she has worked— digging, planting, hoeing. Now, she has given up her afternoon tea hour, one of England’s oldest customs. But the fact remains that the middle class woman has borne, and is still bearing the largest share in the difficult task of voluntary rationing. She is defending her trench with an energy and enthusiasm worthy of the great cause 9 9 for which England is fighting—a cause in which our country is now her country’s ally. American women, arc we doing our best? Arc we answering the urgent call to duty and service? Do we know why the allies need food from us? Do we realize why we must send wheat? Wheat is a food the Allies are used to. It is not fair to ask those who are enduring all the hardships of war to change their eating habits. Wheat is nutritious and in compact form. It requires far less ship-space than bulky foods. Wheat is better for export than corn. It keeps longer, and the Allies have few mills for grinding corn. This is why we must send wheat. The Allies have thirty-three million fewer food animals than before the war. This is why they need fats and meat. Have food substitutes been a real hardship to us? Arc we loyal home-trench defenders? Are we doing anything to compare with what our soldiers arc sacri- ficing,—their friends, their homes and loved ones, their very life-blood? O, Women! It is time we awake. We must be true soldiers of the Cross. Instead of food and drink, we will eat the bread of bitterness and drink the cup of calamity if the Germans set foot on our shores! Too long have we been moved by personal ambition! Too long have we been dominated by the thought that wealth buys greatness! Too long have we thought that greatness was only for a certain chosen few! In vain have we labored to be great! Ah! Yes! In vain! We can all be great;—great in a loyalty and love for our country and the principles for which she stands; great in co-operative work of preserving the inner defenses of our nation; great in an un- selfish devotion and service to the needs of a crying humanity; great in maintaining Christ’s standards in the communities; great in laying aside all class distinctions, and thinking not in terms of societies, but in national terms. Then, after this war of international distrust and disruption is over; when the new peace dawns—the peace of international faith and fraternity! in the place of the society girl of yesterday there will be found a new being, one who will play a better game of tennis; who will ride with more assurance; who will gather more in her travels; who will have become more attractive and more in demand; in place of the factory girl of yesterday, there will be found a new girl, one who will have a better opportunity for development, more freedom, more friends; in place of all classes of women, one class will be found. The weak and the strong, the rich and the poor will be considerate one of the other, and will be united in sympathy and effort, on account of the suffering and misery of a sin-sick war-devastated world. The woman of every station, the high and the lowly, each in her particular beauty and strength, her talents and her charm will have been glorified by the possession of a new something which will have entered her soul and illumined it—a something that will beautify and ennoble her life. This will be the evolution of American womanhood. Then, when German militarism and autocracy have been crushed; when a part- nership of all peoples and all races has been secured—when the dove of peace once more hovers o’er the earth, and the hands and minds of men have returned to their wonted pursuits; then, shall we thank the King of Peace that we had a part in saving all nations for God and for democracy. Ruth Miller Prize Intersociety Oration. 9 9 A Bad Dream, During Literature XIV Class Dear friends and comrades, gathered 'round To see what you can hear, Have patience while I tell a tale, Dark, tragic, dread and drear. It is a tale of ancient Greece, A morbid cataclysm, When all the world was in the clutch Of grim determinism. If you were working 'gainst the Fates, You had quick cause to rue it, And if the Fates decreed a thing You had to go and do it. In ancient Athens dwelt a lad Of calm and studious mien, The haste with which he read his books Was never after seen. His brow was high—oh, very high! He had a glassy stare, And bumps of knowledge, great and small, Were coming through his hair. They say his learning was so great, So far beyond his tempus, That Zeus had sent Old Hermes down To call him to Olympus. In short, ’twas said all Attica Was ringing with the fame Of Draco X. Miltiades (Such was the scholar’s name). The teacher of this brilliant lad,— This bright book-learning fan, Was Dropocles Juicidides, A grave and learned man. A grim old prof was Dropocles,— He had the nerve to ask, And to demand of Draco X. ’Most any kind of task. A queer old bird was Dropocles,— He had a prancing steed, Which surely wasn’t much for looks, And something less for speed. Its eyes were blue, its cars were pink, Its mane was white as snow, And everywhere with Dropocles That horse was sure to go. One day, our Draco came to class And said his perfect lesson. The prof, assigning ten times more, Dismissed him, with his blcssin'. Then Draco hurried to his desk His lessons to prepare, So that tomorrow he might make His teacher gasp for air. He burrowed deep within his books To learn the work assigned him;— So very deep that it would take A microscope to find him. Not far away,, at this same time, Grim Fate was seated high. She held a pen within her hand And power in her eye. Before her was a little book In which was written down, All happenings that ever happened In village, vale or town. And every work that Fate wrote down, Yes, every work,—alas! As soon as it was written down Would straightway come to pass. The moving finger wrote a line And having writ, moved on. Gone was the fame of Draco X., • Gone was his glory,—gone! For, “Draco X. Miltiades”, The terrible fate said, “Will paint the steed of Dropocles A bright and flaming red!” We sec our noble hero lost (We speak with voices hushed), Caught between laws of God and man, And pitilessly crushed! 19 9 For every student, great and small, Knew Dropoclcs’ cry, “Thou shalt not touch my prancing steed Or surely thou shalt die!” We sec grim Fate draw near the lad, We see it with great fear,— We see grim Fate draw near the lad Until she is drawn near. The Fate, with careful finger puts The Idee in his head, To paint the steed of Dropoclcs A bright and flaming red. And then, unchanged—immutable, She to her place docs ‘soar, And with a sure and steady pen Begins to write some more. Not so with our poor Draco X., His cheeks begin to burn; A blank stone wall confrontcth him, He knows not where to turn. He tears his hair and wildly cries, “Is this a fair, just plan,— That I must break the laws of gods Or break the laws of man? “For if I follow Fate’s decree My race in life is run; And if I shirk and disobey I fear that I am done.” He closed his book and sadly said, “My brains they seem to balk, And to get rid of this here Fate I'll go and take a walk.” And, as he wandered, half distraught, Beside the river’s brink, The prancing steed of Dropoclcs Came down to take a drink. Now, such a sight, at such a time Was more than lie could stand, He saw a bank of red, red clay And scooped it with his hand. Then with a piteous, moving groan lie cried aloud. “ ’Tis Fate! If gods decreed that I must die Why should I hesitate?” Yes, he must die; ’twas written down, The gods had so decreed; And so he smeared with red, red clay The sides of that fair steed! Now Dropoclcs Juicididcs Came strolling by that way, And saw his precious, prancing steed All smeared with red, red clay. And he came in a tow’ring rage And shook his fist, and said, “Why did you paint my prancing steed A bright and flaming red? “Didst thou not know,” the master cried, “The dark and bloody deed That would befall to anyone Who monkeyed with my steed? “Thy knell is rung! cried Dropocles, Nor waited for reply; “Although thou art my favorite, Now surely thou must die! 0 croo-el, crool, will be thy death, For I shall read to thee Ten stanzas, nothing less than ten, Of this new poetry: “ 'The leaves are falling, fluttering,— They flutter, flutter, fall, One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, They won’t stay on at all. “ ‘Yon shop windows arc all gashed up, Red slippers in a row. How naughty of those red slippers To .hurt the window so.’ ” Enough! Enough! Draco turns pale, He clutches at his head, He tears his hair, he claws his throat, He reels,—he falls,—he’s dead! Above, unchanged, immutable,— The ghastly Fate writes on,— Nor heeds the end of Draco X., Nor even knows he’s gone. F. S., ’20. 9 9 Dear Old Lab! Carry me back to the Chem Lab at Simpson, There’s where I’ve labored many a weary hour, There's where I've mixed, where I’ve boiled, where I’ve melted, Thcre’s where I’ve learned what is bitter, salt or sour. There’s where my fingers have turned a bright yellow, There’s where a fire got started in my hair There’s where I mixed NHj with NO Then I bid it all good-bye, as I started thru the air. Carry me back, but carry me gently For I’m burned and I’m bruised and I’m stunned, sick and sore. But carry me back to the Chem Lab at Simpson For what I’ll discover will help win the war. Remarks Overheard at the Parade “Left, left, left, LEFT,—you bonehead!” “Leggo my arm; d’ya think real soldiers hang onta each other this way?” “Stop the parade this minute! I’ve lost a hairpin!” “Sh-h-h, look who’s marchin’ with Johnny!” “Whoa! whoa! Didn’t you hear ’im say ‘Halt’?” All dern foolishness! Thet’s college doin’s fur ye.” “He’s got those commands all wrong. Miss Frisbie don’t say ’em that way!” “Move to Highland Park? My mother wouldn’t hear of me goin’ to school in a place like Des Moines.” “That band’s all outa time! I can’t keep step to it a tall.” “O lookey Mabel! The man’s gointa take our pictures! Do I look a fright?” 19 9 Who! The siren shriek, the alarm of fire, Disturbed a sleeping town one night, Our hero woke, and looking out Saw all the sky ablaze with light. At first, he did sit up with speed, And then he did sit down— In haste he drew on all his shoes, And hurried through the town. Atop his head a cap of red; An overcoat of blue; From underneath there Happed a robe Of many colored hue. And dose beside him came two calves (His own, I must admit). Who pranced around o’er all the ground In pink pajamas fit. The girls in wonder at him gazed, To think a man so good, Should come before the populace, In all colors that he could. And then at greater length they stared, The strange sight for to sec, And whereupon he grew more fussed, And slid behind a tree. And there he stayed until the fire Died down, and, in the enclosing night, He slipped away and soon was lost Beyond the view of human sight. The Campus—A Parody The campus, the path-trodden campus, You used to be some foxy park, They have told me, in time gone before me, You were such a fine place for a lark; But when I try to partake of your pleasures, To stroll down your paths; as I pass I am hailed as a villain and scape-grace, Someone yells, “Hey, you, keep off that grass!” The campus, the campus, the campus, I sigh, You’re a playground no longer, alas, For the birds in the trees, as they swing in the breeze, Seem to warble, “Please keep off the grass.” 19 9 Just a Freshman PERSONAL Ralph Snider Paul Roberts y Students Clyde Walker j The scene takes place on a street corner in the residence section of a city. The bright light from a full moon gives the dim glow of the street a rather sickly appear- ance. From one side of the street the shadowy buildings of Brown University loom up, and on the other is a row of houses built very close together. From their size and general aspect they appear to be fraternity and rooming houses. Two policemen arc standing beneath the street light. Smith: This square here is your beat. Things arc usually quiet around these parts by midnight. You won’t have any trouble. Casey: Trouble! Sure, and that’s just what 1 want. Smith: Well, you won’t get it here. You’re just like all the rest of the green fellows on the force—'always wantin’ to nose out things! Casey: Bcgora, and that’s just what I’m gonna’ do. I didn’t want to come up here where folks arc so bloomin’ respectable. I want a knock down, and clear out, I want a— Smith: Oh, that’s what they always say at first. You’ll get over it. Casey (spiritedly) : Well, you just wait! Respectable, arc they? I’ll bring some- thing to light in a week, begora. I’m gonna— Smith (in a sardonic tone): Oh, that’s all right! Go ahead. You’ll get over it. Casey (getting hot) : Well, I’ll— Smith (laughing) : Well, so long. If you need help, blow that whistle. I’m only in the next block. (Exit.) Casey: What do you know about that, and it’s such men as him make up our police force. (Fully conscious of his importance and duty toward the world in general he starts to walk down the street. After taking a few steps he hears a sound from the house behind him. He turns his head with a jerk and raises his club with a flourish.) (In a iv his per) : What’s that? Ah—a burglar! (He stealthily steals behind a tree.) What a night for a crime! (A man wearing a bath robe and a woman s straw hat steps out of the second story window on to the porch roof and begins to slide down the post.) Ah, he’s sliding down the post. I’ll get him as soon as lie hits the ground. (He clutches his club and waits till the man has reached the ground.) Holy smoke! Those duds! That man’s a nut, not a burglar. He’s coinin’ this way. (The man stops when he reaches the sidewalk, turns toivc.rd the house, and raising his hands be- gins in a falsetto voice) : “My Adeline, Sweet Adc—” (A sudden rush, and the singer is seized by Casey.) Casey: I’ve got you! Stop, in the name of the law. Ralph Snider (the prisoner, in a surprised and disgusted tone of voice): A cop! Just my luck. Say, let me go! Casey: Let you go,—not much. (In an impressive voice) : You arc in the hands of the law. Casey Smith Policemen 9 9 Snider (aside) : This must never get out. Let me go, I say. {lie starts to give a few punches with his free hand.) Take that, will you? Casey (aside): Crazy is right! He’s gonna be a hard one to handle. {With his free hand he takes a whistle from his pocket and blows it.) Snider: Don’t wake the whole town. Let me go, and I’ll explain. I’m a pledge— I had to do that fool stunt—I— Casey: A pledge! Do you hear that? Crazy’s no name for it! Snider (as lights appear in upper window of house): You fool, let me go, I say. {Begins to struggle, but cannot escape Casey's clutch.) {A voice from the window above): What’s the row down there? What’s up? Casey (in a loud and triumphant voice) : Sure, and it’s a crazy man—strong as an ox. I’ve got him, but maybe you’d better come down and help keep an eye on him. (Sounds of suppressed laughter as the voice anstvers) : All right, we’ll be down. Casey: Let you go? Not if my name’s Casey. Snider: But, man, I told you I’m not crazy. I’m— Casey (interrupting): Not crazy! That’s what the likes of you always say— you’re looney, that’s what you arc. {Enter Paul Roberts and Clyde Walker, wearing bath robes and giving the general impression of a hasty toilette.) Roberts: What’s this you say? Casey: A crazy man. Snider: Oh, darn! Casey (swelling with pride) : Found him climbing out of the back window of your house. Know anything about him? Roberts (rather confused) : Well—er—you see— Snider: Have a heart, Roberts. Tell this fool that I’m not crazy. Casey: Oh, no! He’s not crazy, singing around in the middle of the night in these duds. {The prisoner tries to jerk loose from his captor.) Casey: Help me hold him, fellows. He’s a strong one. {Roberts takes hold of prisoner s free arm.) Casey: Well, what about him? Walker (aside to Roberts) : Go ahead with it, Roberts; this is a good one! Roberts: Well, you see, this fellow is a friend of ours, and he’s been a little off for a long time. Snider: Oh, rats! Walker: Shut up! Roberts: We hated to put him in the bug house, and— Walker (interrupting) : You see, he’s never been violent before, he’s— {Policeman Smith appears.) Smith: What’s this, a burglar? Casey: Burglar, nothing! A crazy man. I found him singing in the street. {Prisoner tries to get loose.) Smith: Say, he’s a strong one, ain’t he? What’s you goin’ to do with him? Casey: Sure, and take him to the bug house if— 9 9 Snider: I’ll smash the whole bunch of you! {Making a desperate effort to get loose. Succeeds in getting one arm loose and gives a few blows right and left.) Casey: Hold him, fellows! Hold him! (Smith produces a pair of handcuffs and succeeds in putting them on prisoner.) Snider (sarcastically) : Oh, all right! Take me to the bug house if you want to. I’m not crazy, but I am getting cold. Casey: Ah, I knew I could calm him down. Smith: I’d say it was a good thing the bug house is only a couple of blocks away. Roberts: Of course, you don’t know how this hurts us fellows. He’s really a good fellow, he’s not— Walker (his voice shaking a little) : Yes, and usually he's such a gentle creature. Snider: Oh, shut up! I suppose you think this is funny. Roberts: Even though it hurts us, I suppose our duty toward society— Snider: Damn! Smith: Here, none of that! Come along. (The tivo policemen with Snider be- tween them start dozen the street. Roberts and Walker double over in uncontrollable laughter.) 9 9 Monday—Well, that is our heatless day—1 cinder, 1 flicker, 1 coal. Tuesday—O, this is our meatless day—1 oyster, 1 minnow, 1 sole. Wednesday—This is our wheatless day—1 corncakc, 1 dodger, 1 scone. Thursday—We must have a swcctlcss day—1 pickle, 1 lemon, 1 bone. Friday—Will make a good catless day—1 cheerful and glorious fast. Saturday—We’ll call this our treatlcss day—for all reciprocities past. But Sunday—May Hoover forgive us, we pray. If we all should happen to feel A little more hungry than usual today, and once again eat a square meal. O, the meatless days and the whcatlcss days, And the days without sugar or sweet— And the days without ham And the days without Iamb And the days with just nothing to cat. And the days without rice And the days without ice And the days without corn, beans or bread. But we’ll never despair, We will live upon air, Just as long as our soldiers are fed. Licking seems to be the fashion— In this good old U. S. A., And the kind of licking that we do Is surely going to pay. We lick our plates, We lick thrift stamps Just like an old-time miser. And just to keep the licking up We’re a-going to lick the Kaiser. 9 0 Simpson Almanac SEPTEMBER 17 and 18 Registration begins. 18 Convocation. 19 Classes begin. 27 Prexy’s pony painted red. 29 Ames 47—Simpson 0. 30 First student mixer.

The darned little fool ain’t wrote me yet.” Prof. Rhodes to Prof. Olive: “Will you have a pickle, Oliver?” Miss Steele (from other end of table) : “No, thank you, Roadster.” Glee H.: “Oh, I wish I’d get a letter today so I could answer it tonight.” Ethel Shaw: “Congratulations. I hear you’re pres- ident of the Mcccawees.” Glee H.: “What! Didn’t even know I was nom- inated. Who did it?” Ethel: “The ‘S’ Club.” Glee: “The men’s ‘S’ Club?” (A few days'after a letter came from the navy hospital.) Room-mate: “Madge, I believe you’ve got the mumps.” Madge (looking startled): “Could you get them through a letter?” Blessings on thee, little maid 9 9 A Senior Advising a Freshman Posing By their hacks ye shall know them.

As she was leaving, and was about thirty feet from the desk, the clerk said: “With or without?”, or words to that effect. Whereupon she forcefully replied. “Oh—no I don’t need a bath,” thus enlightening the numerous guests in the lobby. Exit—amid blushes. Prof Barrows (in Italian class): “What is your name?” Ola Me. (confused): “Sigr.orita Barrows.” Prof. B.: “Not yet.” 9 9 The Ladies’ Matt of Simpson VIEWPOINT Geo. Prend (ambitious): “When I get to heaven St. Peter will lose his job.” Billy W.: “He sure will.” CHAPEL SLIPS Dr. Tilton: “Dr. Davis graduated from Simpson several years ago; I don’t recall how many, ’97 or ’98. Professor Jcnner, wasn’t he in your class?” Prof. Goodcnough: “Now I sincerely hope we will get a respectable crowd out from Simpson to hear Mansfield.” (Thanks, Prof.) Leo Briggs (noting the small number of men in school in comparison with the number of girls, quotes in a chapel speech) : “The harvest truly is plenteous but the reapers arc few.” 9 9 MENTAL MLETTERINGS A biological paradox: Why is it that we are more liable to think of a “shark” as a “lucky dog” than as a “poor fish”? Martin Luther was probably a Spaniard or a Mexican. At least—he was the greatest bull-fighter of all time. (Ask anyone taking History I.) Don’t you think our girls arc an unpatriotic lot—indulging in German measles? When your feet go to sleep, do they snore? Speaking of snoring, the only sure preventive is to wear a muffler to bed. Try it. DEEP STUFF One who loses—is a loser. But one who achieves success is not necessarily a suc- cessor. In fact, he is more apt not to be. It’s a funny little language—this here English. REMARKABLE REMARKS Prof. Ross (feeling kind): “In this exam., I will give you 12 questions, out of which you may choose 12.” Miss Steele: “I went to school every winter for six months.” Trumbo (in History I): “Queen Anne belonged to the same house as her father.” (Extract from a Freshman Lit. theme.) “Shakespeare was born in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.” Prof. Scott (in Old Testament History class): “Why were the cities of the plain built so compactly?” Rose Tennant: “For protection from the Indians.” Why does Minnie Murphy always head her bulletin board notices with N. B. ? Billy: “Docs Glenn have the mumps on both sides?” Ruth: “I suppose, inside and outside.” 9 9 Student (playing rummy). Second Student:. “Is that Som’rsct?” First Student: “No, it’s Springhill.” Eula Wilson (to upperclassmen) : “Where do the boys have their Y. W.?” Jimmie Hoffman (speaking of a certain landlady) : “In spite of the fact that I love her, I can sec her faults.” Jessie Shannon (in Sociology): “Well, the cosmetic mind—” Weir: “The what?” Jessie: “I mean the cosmic mind.” Highland Park was a good Baptist anyway. You know it was immersed (in debt). Stella Stouffer: “I’ve decided that the reason that I’m so much ‘at sea’ in French class is because I sit between two Shores.” If you were a young lady and wanted a date with a young man whom you did not know well, which would you do, go out and shoot “beebes”, or read Matthew Arnold ? A Con. student in reply to the question, “How do you take a breathing exercise?”, replied, “Lie flat on your back on the bed, fold your arms on your chest and expire.” The day of convocation a Freshman girl asked, “Do all of the Freshman girls have to go to Invocation?” 9 9 '—JAe'X.en.tf- The Quality Store JQII11QIIIMIIUHIIIII1II1 When you Think of PICNICS, BUMS and BANQUETS Don’t Forget SHEETS’ STORE We ca?i Serve you well THE ELLIOTT DES MOINES, IOWA Leading European Hotel of the City Modern and First Class in every respect Moderate Priced Cafe in connection HEADQUARTERS FOR SIMPSON STUDENTS AND CITIZENS OF INDIANOLA 9 9 C.

After the class, wanting to be kind, he asked the visitor who he was and where he was from.

Yet, these things are essential and we have them. In addition to these, however, it requires the skill which is born of close application and experience. For many years our administrative as well as our mechanical departments have devoted their thought and energy towards producing printing and binding of a superior class, with the result that today we are in a position to supply the highest grade of product at reasonable prices. Our company makes its chief aim the satisfac- tion of its customers and performs whatever it promises. Your inquiries solicited.
