THE ZENITH 1920 Volume XX PUBLISHED BY THE JUNIOR CLASS OF SIMPSON COLLEGE To Everett S. Olive In recognition of his loyal service to the college and to the student body, this volume is heartily dedicated. The worth of a man is measured by his ability to meet any situation, and this Professor Olive did successfully in the studio, on the campus, and of late, in the world crisis. The public is beginning to demand better music and Professor Olive has contributed to this de- mand by composing numerous songs. The songs which he contributed to our Simpson song book have been ranked by worthy critics as among the best college songs in America. Professor Olive always stood for the best in art and life, and demanded the highest type of work from his students. Consequently, his per- sonality has been a strong influence in the lives of many, and his work has become a part of the rich inheritance of Simpson students. This past year he graciously gave his time and talent to the wounded soldiers of Italy, thus enlarging the bounds of the helpful influence of old Simpson College thruout the world. Foreword HE year of 1919, pictured in this vol- ume of The Zenith, has been an unusual year. The old campus has been dotted with Khaki; reveille and taps have sounded out from the big naked-windowed hall; the old walls have resounded to the tramp of a marching army. The glad news of peace has echoed over the campus. Sickness and Death have been in our midst, disordering our school routine, casting a shadow of sorrow over our gatherings, leaving empty scats in our class rooms. Our boys whom we gave to our country have been coming back to us, stepping into their old places and filling old niches. We have lived the scale of human emotion this year. It s the purpose of this book that we may never forget it. May The Zenith, of the Class of 1920, bring back to him who, in the years to come, chances to peruse its pages, all the thrills of his college life—the same quickening of the pulse he felt at the games, the same splendid fervor that gripped him as the Stars and Stripes were lowered out on the old Athletic field, with all the boys standing by at attention; the same fine feeling of camaraderie that pervaded the campus; the peaceful drowsiness that per- meated the little Library; the same old pounding of the heart that he experienced on moonlight nights beneath the “whispering maples”; the vision of familiar faces, of old class rooms, the dreaming of dreams—all this may he find between these covers. And may it bring to him a realization of the happiness of that college life, thru peace and war, thru sickness and health,—the beauty of those college friendships—the fineness of those college days.

Wilson The 1920 Zenith KIYO UKAI Simpson College felt very proud and fortunate this year when it was rumored among her circles that a little Japanese girl, Kiyo Ukai, had come all the way from her home in Tokio to become one of her numbers at Simpson. Students and friends of the College largely took advantage of the first opportunity to meet Kiyo, and so she has already made scores of friends. The story of how Kiyo happens to be here in school is very interesting. Her father, Takashi Ukai, was a popular member of the Simpson Class ’94. Upon graduating, he returned to Japan and has since became pastor of the largest Methodist church in Tokio. About four years ago he was sent on a mission to the United States by the Japanese government. At that time he remarked to some of his old Simpson friends that he would like for his daughter to be graduated at his Alma Mater. Remembering this remark, his very good friends, Mrs. Minnie long-Jackson, (class ’93) now of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Mr. and Mrs. Sigler, of Indianola, are helping to make it possible for Kiyo to be in Simpson. Kiyo speaks and writes English quite well, and comes thoroughly prepared to enter upon her freshman college course. She brings a splendid record from the English “Joshi Gakin School for Girls”, of which she is a graduate. This school in Tokio employed at one time as its principal, Madame Kakima, Kiyo’s grandmother. This lady is very prominent in Japan and has been decorated for distinguished social service work by the Japanese Emperor. A short time ago Kiyo, quite by accident, discovered in the September issue of the World Outlook a picture and writeup of her grandmother. Kiyo has made splendid progress toward adapting herself to her new environment. Frequently she declares she is not homesick in the least, but is perfectly happy. She still prefers, however, her Japanese costumes and wears with pardonable pride her “Kobi”, in which is woven the crest of her family. The 1920 Zenith 3n iWemortam The I 9 20 Zenith Academy Somewhere, May 1, 1919. Simpson College, Indianola, Iowa: Dear Mother—Perhaps you have often wondered during the last few months where I have been and what I have been doing; and also why you have heard so little of me. I am writing now to tell you that I still live in spite of the many wounds I have received during this awful war. You sec, I have been repeatedly wounded, and have grown a little weaker each time until I have sometimes felt hardly able to keep up the struggle longer. During the last year my sufferings from illness have been severe. I have been quarantined more than once, and prevented from participation in active service. I am writing now from a base hospital, where for some months I have been under the care of a faithful nurse; and, although at times it has seemed that my life hung by a mere thread, I have been ever stimulated to fresh hope by the optimistic words of my watchful nurse. I ask, then, Mother, that you do not worry about me, for I am told that, weak as I now am, I shall fully recover, even to the extent of being able to take part actively in basket ball and track work. All I need is time and good care. I feel sure that within a year or so I shall have regained all of my former strength and enthusiasm and shall be myself once more. Please give my best wishes to my brothers and sisters there, and say that I hope to greet them personally before long. And now, Mother, with the belief that every- thing will turn out well for us in the future, and with much love to you and the rest, I am, Your sadly wounded but ever hopeful son, Simpson College Academy.

Under the superior direction of Professor E. L. Miller, who has been at the head of the depart- ment for thirty years, it has gained an enviable reputation. Our Commercial Department is recognized as the equal of any in the middle west, not excepting Business Colleges. During the past year more calls for graduates from the Simpson Business School, to fill teach- ing and office positions, have come in than could possibly be supplied. Today graduates from our department arc making good in all parts of the country. Many having filled responsible government positions during the war. Hugh Jackson, head of the depart- ment of Business Administration in the University of Minnesota, is one of the highest paid men doing such work in the country. Dorothea Porterfield Dunncgan and Howard Noble arc filling responsible teaching positions. Webb Stump is another of our students who is making good, having been a secretary in the Iowa Senate during the last session and considered one of the best in the assembly. Kent. I.omli-y, llnotie.

Nelson The 19 20 Zenith In Simpson College the Home Economics department maintains the very highest standards and offers young women an opportunity to prepare for definite and prac- tical life work while they enjoy the unexcelled cultural influences of a standard college. Our graduates have something more than a purely technical education; they have a vision of world needs and they have felt the refining and ennobling effects of a liberal education, and they have been privileged to know personally the keen thinkers and genuinely human members of the institution faculty. This year has marked a distinct advance in every department of the Home Eco- nomics course under the efficient direction of Prof. Eunice Peters and Miss Gladys Merritt. The course complies with the requirements sent out by the Educational De- partment at Washington, D. C., for our graduates to be registered dietitians, and it merits the commendation of state officials. Too much credit cannot be given to Professor Peters, Head of the Department, and Miss Merritt, her assistant, for their ability to interest the ever-increasing number of students in the real joy of work.

It gives one an appreciation of good music, not gained outside of real study. In fact, it is a regular vocal course. The work done by the Choir this year has been excellent. Of course, it was hindered by the “flu” and the war. Professor Pratt has done ex- cellent directing, and the students have enjoyed working for him. The 1920 Zenith The Methods Class The work of the Public School Music was turned over to Mrs. Shoemaker during the middle of the year. Miss Tilley, who was previously the instructor, left to take up the study of voice in Busch Conservatory, Chicago. The work has progressed rapidly and thoroughly. People arc coming more and more to realize the place music holds in the public schools, and our public school teachers arc in great demand. Honor Roll Carl Abarr C. R. S.

Young, Grand River Simpson and the War THE VOLUNTEER BATTALION 1917 MILITARY DRILL All men wishing military drill, arc invited to be at the college gymnasium Friday evening of this week (February 16) at seven o’clock, to drill till eight o’clock. The drill, beginning at that time, will be continued on Monday and Friday evenings of each week till June. The drill will be in accord with the latest Regulations”, will be without charge, and open to all who will be prompt and regular. Wear gym shoes. John L. Tilton. i • Such was the call posted as early as possible after the breaking out of the war in 1917. To this call one hundred and seventeen men responded, each pledging himself to faithful work until June, or till called into the service of the United States. The entire body was given squad drill as rapidly as possible and then divided into three companies of two platoons each, officered by men selected from the few who had had somewhat of military instruction in former years as a basis for further training. Nearly all the men secured copies of the new Regulations and worked and studied with enthusiasm to master the drill. After squad and company movements the organization took up battalion drill, both close and extended order, marches, outpost and guard duty. Rifle practice was undertaken with the gymnasium target rifle, but rifles for i The 19 20 Zenith all could not be obtained. In place of rifles, the men were provided with hoc han- dles—the same ones that the S. A. T. C. found later and used in their drill. On clear evenings the streets, the campus and vacant lots were the scenes of maneuvers and sham battles. At the time of the great county rally, April the thirteenth, the battalion led the procession. Near the close of its work it was reviewed by an officer detailed by the Adjutant-General of the State. Decoration Day found a battalion not only organized for a creditable parade, but one with instruction as well along that many later found of advantage. All through these wdeks of training, men were leaving by twos and threes to enlist in the army or navy. As plans for the officers' training camps developed, the Com- mandant became the local vice-chairman of the Training Camps Association, securing the information that guided many of the battalion and others as they sought appoint- ment to training camps or to special service. (His own applications for appointment to training camps were not granted because his age was above the limit allowed.) Excepting the married men, and a few boys under age, there is almost no one of that volunteer battalion who was not in the service. John L. Tilton. The Simpson S. A. T. C. Unit The Simpson unit of the the Students Army Train Corps was installed October 1, 1918. There were eighty boys who were sworn into service at that time. Lieutenants Gerald Frey and Carlcton B. Pierce were in command of the unit. The work was the same as that done by the units all over the country, and was well done under the able leadership of the lieutenants. The unit was demobilized December 4, 1918, upon orders from headquarters. The 1920 Zenith Barrack Room Boneheads (extracts from THE SIMPSON I ax) C. O. is walking down the hall when Private Blank, from his reclining position on bunk, catches sight of him. Voice of Private Blank barks out: “Hey, there! come here a minute. I want to sec you.” -------- In guard mounting practice, Private Wilcox is walking post with hoc handle, when he is addressed by C. O. Realizing that his left handed salute is a mistake, and thinking rapidly, Private Wilcox grasps handle in left hand, and snappily salutes with right. ------- Lieutenant Frey calls for a standing vote for all who will remain in school after demobilization. When Bill Copeland stands up, the Lieutenant looks at him and says: “Copeland, are you sitting down or standing up?” Sir, I am undecided,” replies Copeland, getting red in the face. WILCOX HAS A RIVAL Corporal Briggs, while carrying his rifle, meets the C. O. in the hall. Afraid to ap- pear too intimate with the C. O. by removing his hat, he leaves it on and gives the hand salute with his left hand. ------- C. O. watches a very interesting game of chess (during study hours) between Shaw and McFadon, for some five minutes during which neither speaks nor makes a move. C. O.: “I’d like to stay and sec the finish of this game, but I have to go out of town tomorrow.” ------- Edwards, in History class, wants to know what Germany used her sub-marines for before the war. ------- J. Howard Walters, after being in the army eight weeks, inquires: “What does that ‘O. D.’ mean, anyway?” ------- The G. O., in bayonet practice, gives the common, “High port”. Private Culter lunges forward with a long thrust, accompanying it with a Commanche yell. C. O.: “Well, I’ve known port ta work that way on some people.” A Private (on interior guard duty) : “Advance and recognize me.” Private Siphcrd (in European history) : “Well, I get those Popes in Germany and the Popes in Italy all mixed up.” In Friday’s boxing matches, special mention should be made of the match between Henn and Wilcox. Another noteworthy match was between Corporal Cunningham and Private Culter. Except for an occasional rush of Private Culter, at no time did the combatants come within six feet of each other. Prof. Weeks (in Hygiene class, after several vain efforts to exact the proper reply of “Physical Exercise” from Private Copeland): Well, what docs Miss Frisbic teach the girls in gym?” Private Copeland: “Dancing!” The 920 Zen LIEUTENANT OTUS LIPPINCOTT LIEUTENANT J. WESLEY YOUNG Simpson’s honor roll is long, and she has reason to be proud of every name that is written on that roll. There arc names there of men who have been given the oppor- tunity to distinguish themselves in a marked degree. Lieutenant Otus Lippincott, Class of ’ll, was cited for disinguished conduct, December 13, 1918. Lieutenant J. Wesley Young, Class of ’17, was given the war cross and medal for distinguished service on the Italian front. Lieutenant Earl Porter, of the aviation service, re- ceived four badges of honor as an air fighter. Major Herbert Porterfield was awarded the Croix de Guerre. Major Charles Schimclfcnig has distinguished himself in the regular army. Drs. John and Gaylord Davis, as navy surgeons, and-Fred Smith, in Y. M. work. These arc a few of the names of which Simpson may well be proud.

Roberts The 1920 Zenith Memories of Quarantine Days Now «hat the quarantine’s over at last, That the lid’s taken off, it’s a thing of the past, Now that we're worked—till we're ’most driven mad, We all say that quarantine wasn’t so bad. You recall what it’s like—with never a hike, Nor a school bell, the whole livelong day; Not a thot of a test—just a good safe, long rest, With nothing to do, but to play? When you rested your pate, while the old clock struck eight, Without any starts of surprise, With no thots of duty to ruffle your beauty, As you rccloscd your limpid blue eyes? How you talked to your mother, And smiled at your brother, With all of your company grace, With never a thot of a lesson not got— Or a plot you’d forgotten to trace? How you toyed with your cup and enjoyed the last sup. With a nonchalance millionaires know, Without rushing about with the ever same shout, “Excuse me, I really must go”? How you waked in a fright In the dead of the night With a cough or a mammoth “ca-chew”, And felt in your heart the death dealing dart Of that horrible bloodthirsty flu, And simply knew it was after yau With that ever recurring “ca-chew!” And cannot you all with distinctness recall How you trembled with fear, As long ranks would appear Of soldiers, each wearing a mask, That made Tom, Dick and Mike, Look exactly alike, To distinguish them—really a task? And dreamed, that a ban Of the old Klu Klux Klan Had come back and was haunting the places, Hut found the white gauze A significant cause Of improving the gentlemen’s faces? How you felt a vague longing Your consciousness thronging To go to a movie once more, And hurried away feeling happy and gay Till you got to the movie house door And there on the screen, found the word “quarantine” And went home again thoroly sore? How church, once so tame, Seemed a wild sort of game, A privilege, wondrous and rare, And chapel, a snap to delight any chap, And you swore that you’d always be there? Tho perhaps we were happy, The days were not snappy And we all did well to exist, So dear sister Zete—“so look after your feet,” Take care of your health—I insist. Don’t get the flu; for I fear, if you do, They’ll clamp the lid down—so beware! And I really am sure, we could not endure Another such time, and not swear! Oh solitude, where arc the charms That sages and prophets have seen? Better dwell in the midst of alarms, Than exist in a flu quarantine! M. M., '20.

As bright as the sun at noon-tide Were the faces of old Alpian friends; The soft tears that fell ne'er could hide As memories tripped into her mind. As a Freshman in school she had entered, Going to work with a scholarly vim. Many good times were remembered And thoughts of them never would dim. A shadowy mcm’ry of initiation Crept into her wandering dream; Of her trials and tribulation While on the debating team. The sweet taste of last year's victory Led her to strive on afar, And th(?n she could show folks truly Her wagon was hitched to a star. Came the sweet song of a robin As a solo in nature’s feathered choir, When far from the noise and the din Alpians gathered ’round a camp fire. O, the thoughts of the sweet girlhood friendships, Begun in the dear Alpian hall, Left true tender memories and passions That good recollections recall. As a consul she assigned many duties, And made wise plans for her friends. She received all the good and kind wishes That sped from the critics’ ready pens. Discussed were the serious questions, And those of a lighter vein. Declaimed were the much loved orations, Her courage did never wane. Ballads of love were sun. On, on the years passed by, And problems of work begun. Plans, emotions, ideals were high. In a sweet farewell from the Alpians She received an emblem so dear. She did not say, “Goodbye.” Nay. “I’ll be back every year.” She awoke by her wide open window With thoughts that stayed by her side, Of the vision that rose in the shadow— Alpian Hall in the chapel so high.

Several ladies planned to write orations, but only one, Miss Bessie Shore, was en- abled to finish hers; and so she repre- sented the College on the State Di- visional Contest with her oration on “America’s Need of Art”. She was untiring in her efforts to excel, but failed to place on the final State contest. Last year Mr. B. F. Hamilton won second place in the State Prohibition Contest, with a prize of $25.00. He also won first place on the Holladay Contest and a prize of $15.00, with Miss Ora Gcrling as a close second, receiving a prize of $10.00. These latter prizes are given each year by Mr. S. M. Holladv, an alumnus of Simpson, with a fine oratorical record while in school. In the girls’ dual debate this year, we won the affirmative unanimously from Penn’s negative, but lost by a unanimous decision to Penn’s affirm- ative. The men’s debates have not yet been held.

Dennis Book V m tfje Barnes; COACH NILE GRAVES Every student booster of Simpson waxes enthusiastic when they recall that Soup” Graves is to hold the athletic reins for the college throughout the coming year. “Soup” has long been known to followers of Simpson College athletics. While in school he played varsity football, baseball, and basket ball, in all of which he made a statewide reputation for himself. Especially was this true of his basket ball career. In 1913 he captained our state championship team and made the mythical All-State Five. At the outbreak of the war, Graves enlisted and was stationed at Camp Funston, where he played quarterback on the famous Funston eleven. Besides his athletic ability, “Soup” is one of those enviable fellows whom every one likes, who is popular with the men, and who has so much pep that it is impossible to work under him without getting his spirit, which is the spirit of fight, fight fight. The 9 20 Zenith “S” Club Hendrickson Dunnaoan Sprague Simpson Hartzell Fisher McGee Piffer Gunderson Jones Stewart The 9 20 Zenith PACE (Giving Out the Dope) FROSTY PACE (Playin’ with ’Em) Behind the athletics of Simpson college are two organizations which, altho’ they do not come prominently before the public eye, arc none the less important to the athletic activities of the school. These two arc the Athletic Association and the Joshua Club. The functions of these two units, though directed toward the same end, arc widely different. The Athletic Association furnishes financial backing to our athletes. It is run under the management of the students, all of whom become members upon registration, and the direction of an advisory board which includes the faculty members. The Joshua Club, like the Athletic Assoication, has for its membership the entire student body; but, unlike it, the Joshua Club has for its function the supplying of school pep, not only for athletics, but for all sorts of inter-collegiate activities. Its officers, consisting of the president and a yell leader, arc elected by the Club. The duty of the president is to prepare the soil, so to speak, so that when the yell leader takes hold pep will spring up from everywhere. The efficiency with which Earl Pace, the president, and Forrest Buchtel, the yell leader, have performed their duties this year have been the subject of much comment and the Club is to be congratulated on its officers. The 19 20 Zenith The Line-Up Piffer..................Left End McLennan....................Left Tackle Suman.......................Left Guard Fisher ...................Center Hartzell (C.) Half Back Half Back Full Back Shirley Shultz Buchtel r n nr % itf, :: M av •' The 1920 Zenith FRANK PIFER —Sophomore Weight 1S4. End Me made a great running mate for Sprague. Althoug his first year with the pigskin, he developed into an End that was hard to beat. At home at cither offensive or defensive. He smashed the interference often downing the opponent for a loss. WYLIE HART2ELL (Captain) — Junior Weight 1SS. Halfback Last year’s star lineman, but was drawn into the backfield this year to do the passing. He was in the game with all the drive and fight he had, and upheld the record he made last year. VOLNEY NELSON — Freshman Weight 154. Fullback A hard smashing fullback. When he hit something had to give away. He'd fight for the last inch. He wouldn’t stop for a few black eyes. The 19 20 Zenith DEWEY HALDEN — Sophomore Weight 17S. Fullback and Tackle Everyone knows Dewey and his ability as a football player. Me always obtained results when he hit the line. Equally effect- ive as a fullback or as a lineman. A fierce 3nd sure tackier. FOREST BUCHTEL — Sophomore Weight ISO. Guard (Sub) A consistent worker. Gives them all he has, and should be a comer next year. McCLAREN SHIRLEY — Freshman Weight 160. Tackle (Sub) Great fighter when given the chance. A little more experi- ence will make him a sure regular. The 1920 Zenith RAY VANDERFORD — Freshman Weight 14S. Halfback A fast, shifty halfback who could run the ends or smash the line like a veteran. An exceptionally hard man to stop. This being his first year of college competition, he certainly bids fair to be one of the strongest men in the backfield next year. RALPH SUMAN — Sophomore Weight 190. Guard He knows the game from A to Z. A reliable teammate, but a dangerous opponent. Suman was a stonewall lineman, espe- cially noted for breaking up the opponents’ plays. HAROLD SPRAGUE —Senior Weight 154. End Speedy and full of fight. A good defensive man, tackling with a vengeance. First man down under the punts. Never known to drop a forward pass. Gained fame by his touchdown against Drake. The 1920 Z e ni MERWYN McCLENNAN — Sophomore Weight 170. Tackle He was always there to get his man. “Mac” could always be relied upon. He did his share and alwavs had plentv of fight left. GEORGE FISHER —Junior Weight 170. Tackle Since he happens to be the author of this section, he will not attempt to criticize himself. WALTER CLARK — Freshman Weight 135. Halfback Fastest man on the team. Had hard luck with injuries, but in spite of this he was one of our best offensive men. His speed with his dodging ability, made him a dangerous man in the open field. He will prove to be a valuable man next year. The 192 0 Zenith Weight 189. Guard An Indianola High School veteran. He had the weight and the nerve and ability to use it effectively. A real fighter, who never quit. JAMES PEASLEY — Freshman JOHN SHULTZ —Freshman Weight 210. Center or Guard (Sub) A heavyweight who can use his beef. A steady center who would have played it, but for Fisher. Lots of pepper and chin music. On hands for next season. EARL FARLEY — Freshman Weight 137. Quarterback He was a good man to pilot the team, always on the job and full of pep. A sure tackier, always leaving a poor chance for an opponent to get by him. He was the “never quit kind”. The 1920 Zenith Football It hardly sounds reasonable to say that Simpson put out a winning team last sea- son in spite of the interference imposed by the war. But those who saw 1918’s “fol- lowers of the pigskin” agree that it was one of the best elevens that Simpson has had in years. Owing to the establishment of the S. A. T. C., the squad was late in getting started. There were only two letter men back, Captain Hartzcll and Fisher, but the squad was well supplied with former high school stars. The men maintained their military snap on the football field and in ten days were bucking the line in mid-season form. On November ninth, a team representing the Camp Dodge Depot Brigade, met us in our first game of the season on our local field. Simpson defeated the visitors in a slow game, featured by roughness, by a score of 9-0. The game was much more one- sided than the score would indicate, but the lifeless playing of the Camp Dodge players did not offer much incentive for hard playing on the part of the Red and Gold warriors. Our opponents made their downs once during the game. In the next game, Simpson outplayed and outfought Drake, but in a slow start in the first quarter, cost our team the victory. Two touchdowns and a kicked goal in the first five minutes proved too great a handicap to be overcome on a heavy, slippery field. The condition of the gridiron prevented fast work; consequently, of ten completed for- ward passes only one receiver was able to break away before being downed by a Drake player. The game ended by a score of 13-6 in favor of Drake. A Dcs Moines paper said: “In the contest held in the Stadium today, Drake was very lucky to get away with the long end of the score.” Simpson’s next game resulted in a victory over Iowa Wesleyan, at Mount Pleasant. The score was 6-0. Our team showed fine form and gained ground almost at will, but it might be well to add that it’s not half bad to play against eleven men, but it is some- what of a handicap to play against fourteen. Des Moines College was scheduled for a defeat by our team, but was called off on account of the quarantine. Considering the opposing circumstances, the season was very satisfactory. Most of the men will be in school next fall and Coach Graves expects to put out a classy eleven that will be respected by every team in the state. The 1920 Ze COACH WALTER DUNNAGAN Walter M. Dunnagan, Simpson Alumnus, and track coach, is one of the best distance men this school has ever produced. He came to us from East High, Des Moines, where he made a brilliant record and where he served as track captain. He entered school a Sophomore and for two years consistently gained points for his Alma Mater. This was Walt’s” first year as coach, but if appear- ances are anything, he will develop a team which will make a name for itself in the state. 1918 Track Season Considering the fact that many of the point-winners entered the service, the out- come of the 1918 track season was such as to make the year one of the few outstanding ones of this sport in the history of the school. Out of the squad which turned out at the beginning of the season, Coach Dillon built up a team that showed remarkable class in the three major meets of the year. Simpson, in a walkaway, carried off the honors in the Little Seven Meet, winning sixty-one points, of which Captain Hendrickson captured seven firsts, and ran up thirty-five of the total number of points. Sprague was the second scorer, with twelve points. A notable feature of the meet was that each Simpson man entered placed in his event. Simpson finished fourth in the Conference, Hendrickson, Sprague, and Gunderson being the point winners. Hendrickson won individual honors of the meet, capturing firsts in the high jump, pole vault and 120-yard high hurdles. Sprague second in the 220-yard low hurdles, and Gunderson third in the mile. In the state meet, Simpson came back with some of the class of the former contests. Hendrickson and Sprague placing in the main classics of the year, the former winning first in'thc 120-yard high hurdles, second in the high jump, and tying for third in the pole vault; and in the number of points won a close second to Howard Drew, in- dividual point winner of the meet. Sprague won third in the low hurdles. Captain Hendrickson, veteran star, was easily the outstanding man of the season, being followed by Sprague and Gunderson. Others who were point winners and de- serving of mention were Hartzcll, McGranahan, Sperow, and Weldin. Prospects for 1919 are exceptionally brilliant, practically every veteran being back in school; and these, with the addition of several returned enlisted men and much new- material, arc expected to make an excellent showing for the season. Review of Basket Ball After opening the season with only two veterans and hopes at best, for only a medio- cre team, the Simpson varsity five developed a dash and speed that carried them to third place in the Conference, placed one man on the second All-State team, three on the second All-Conference team, and the rest on’the honorable mention list. They became one of the most feared teams in the state, and even in defeat showed a class that was much above that of the victors. The opening of the season was rather inauspicious for after three days of practice we were defeated by the Cyclones by the 21 to 15 score. Luckily, however, this was not a Conference game and did not effect our standing. A week after this mishap, our old rivals at Drake were trounced on their home floor by a team which was superior to the one which had faced Ames the week before. This was the start of a scries of victories. First came Coe, already claiming the championship. Their percentage was lowered by a 29 to 20 defeat. The following week the famous Corncllians, who for three years had not been beaten by a Simpson team, suffered the same sort of treatment, only this time the tune was 37 to 19. Next came Des Moines. It is a sort of a habit with us to beat Dcs Moines, so we, as was scheduled, sent them home with the little end of a 16 to 12 score. At this time we led the Conference with three victories and no defeats, but now comes our disastrous trip to Coe and Cornell. In a hard fought game, in which Simpson led Coe up to the last five minues, and outclassed them throughout the game, we were defeated by one man shooting four long shots. The final score was 24 to 17. The next night Cornell defeated us in a fierce game by a 27 to 21 score and wiped out our championship hopes. The team returned home to face Creighton, Missouri Valley champions, and in the fastest game ever played on this floor, were beaten by three points. Following this, Drake invaded the Hopper Gym and suffered in consequence of our recent defeats. We sent them home with a twelve point margin against them. Next came Iowa Wesleyan, leading the Conference and claiming the championship. Their hopes suf- fered a severe setback at our hands. The score was: Simpson 23; Iowa Wesleyan, 16. Des Moines at this juncture, courted an invasion, and we still had the habit” and beat them by ten points. Now came our final game with Iowa Wesleyan, played in the Purple’s hat box with all the ferocity of wild men, but we could not overcome the handicap of the floor, and lost by three points—16 to 13. We have every right to be proud of the past season, for, while we suffered four de- feats, we inflicted seven upon our opponents and made a name for the team which will give it a strong sendoff for next year. And next year, with every man back, we ought to go with a speed that will take us to the top of the pile and bring the old championship back home. The 1920 Zenith Simpson. Simpson. Simpson. Simpson.

The 1920 Zenith Basket Ball Tournament The Simpson Annual Basket Ball Tournament was larger and better this year titan ever before. It consisted of twenty of the best high school teams in central and southwestern Iowa. The tournament was given by the Simpson Athletic Association, under the supervision of Coach Graves. The meet was a success in every way—attendance, entertainment, and class of play- ing. The high school men reported fair treatment and royal entertainment at the hands of the Indianola people. We certainly hope the visitors were as satisfied with our entertainment as we were with their splendid conduct. Centerville High School took home the trophy for first place, by the defeat of Ames in the final game, with a count of 38 to 14. Albia and Ellston were the other teams reaching the semi-finals. In the selection of the all-tournament teams, the Centerville team grabbed the honors, placing three men on the first team, and another on the second. Ellston landed one man on the first team and two on the second. Ames placed one man on each team. First Tearn Winters, of Centerville...................... Forward .

Simpson had excellent prospects for a winning team, but was compelled to drop baseball from inter-collegiate competition because Coach Dillon could not obtain a satisfactory schedule. But we did not let the good material go to waste. Reg- ular practice was held daily, and an inter-class series was held. This kept the baseball spirit burning for a 1919 team. This 1919 team, under Coach Graves, bids fair to have a good season. The team will be built around the excellent battery of Captain Jackson and Hendrickson. It would be robbing next year’s Zenith to tell too much about this year’s team, but we must say that the season has started out well by beating Cornell 7 to 1.

Treasurer MECCAWEE CLUB The women’s athletics of Simpson College are under the supervision of the Meccawee Club. This is an or- ganization of all women students registered in the college. It is organized to promote interest among the girls in all activities, not only girls’ athletics, but boys’ as well. The Meccawees have their two yell leaders, who arc the generators of pep among the girls at the boys’ basket ball games. The girls’ athletic activities managed by the Meccawees, are basket ball, track, tennis, hiking, indoor baseball, and gym “frolics”. Through these activities the girls arc en- abled to win the three hundred points toward the distinct- ive honor S”. Those who win six hundred points arc given the old gold sweater. The 19 20 Zenith I TENNIS It is customary in Simpson to stage a tennis tournament each Spring. Owing to the con- tinued rainy season of last spring the tourna- ment was not played off. However, enough games were played to show up some splendid tennis ability. If the weather permits, the usual tourney will be staged this spring. . Ethei. Sauk, Tennis Manager. HIKING A great deal of interest has been shown this year in the cross country hike. All those regis- tered for this sport take a scries of hikes—eight four mile hikes, one eight mile hike, and then finish the series with a twenty mile hike. After the series has been completed, points are award- ed toward the honor “S”. There is one hiking season in every semester, and a great number of girls register for hikes every season. Marion Shepparo, Hike Manager. BASKET BALL This year the basket ball season began with a large enrollment of interested and enthusiastic girls. Altho the “flu” interrupted the practice and prevented several girls who had enrolled, from playing, yet a tournament was planned and each girl worked hard in order to prove herself of “varsity” material. The tournament was held the last week in March, the Juniors being victorious. Iru Lippincott, Basket Ball Manager. FROLICS Ladies and Gentlemen: Before you on the scene you sec a typical scene from a Friday night Gym Frolic. That group of girls in the center gaily and nervously encircling a number of In- dian clubs arc playing -------. In the fore- ground are two girls happy with the old rope swings, while in the rear others are working out on the horizontal bars. To the right are pros- pective basket ball players caging ball after ball. The scene changes and the floor is filled with merry dancers, each ready to drown her deepest woe in the soothing tunes of the piano. Taps sound and the lights arc out. Margaret Conrad, Frolic Manager. GAMES The indoor games of the early spring come under this department. Girls' indoor baseball has been the game chosen by popular vote for the last two seasons. The final games show a good quality as well as quality of “pep” and scrap. Fifty points toward a letter “S” are granted to those selected for the first team. Margaret Kirkendau., Games Manager. TRACK With the close of the indoor baseball season, the track season entered with a rush. A large number of girls have registered for this sport and arc showing lots of enthusiasm over the coming meet. With a large number of fresh- man girls eager to contest their track ability against the old veterans, we feel that we will have one of the best track meets ever staged at Simpson.

Very few of the old stars were out, most of the material being new; but under Coach Saur’s competent training, only made the feat accomplished more remarkable. The climax of the season came April 3 and 4, when the annual tournament for girls’ basket ball was held. The first game was between the Sophmores and Freshmen, and for the first time our underclassmen met dc feat” of the Sophs. The Sophomores certainly did generate a deal of enthusiasm and punch during their last day of practice, for their easy victory astonished everyone. The same evening, a little extra entertainment was added, thereby giving the rooters the opportunity of seeing two acts for ten cents. The Juniors easily walked over a pick-up “all-star” team gleaned from all the past and fu- ture comets of Simpson. The next evening the Sophomores and Juniors met, featuring respectively Margaret Conrad and Jessie Shan- non, as opposing forces, each with peculiar affinity for the other. This was the climax. Excitement ran high; the spectators woke up, blinked their eyes and began to tear their hair. The referee’s whistle, tho applied con- stantly, was scarcely heard above the din. The game ended in a tie, 10-10, which was played off until the Juniors made another basket, making themselves victors by a two-point margin. REPRESENTATIVE WOMEN Oil SIMPSON CHOSEN 1BY THE STUDENT BODY The 1920 Ze The Red and Gold Come, we will sing together Once more the ringing song, A strain that the coming classes Unceasingly shall prolong The praise of our Alma Mater. Dear Simpson, thy sons so bold, Will cherish thy recollection, And swear by the Red and Gold. Fadeless still the laurels Won by the football team; Here’s to the knights of the diamond, Brightly their victories gleam. No fear for tomorrow’s struggles Shall ever new triumphs hold, While the sturdy sons of Simpson Press on with the Red and Gold. Tho’ in the years before us, Life’s skies grow dull and gray, The friends of our youth arc scattered, We journey our lonely way, Sweet memories oft will linger Of those dear days of old, When beneath the whispering maples We flaunted the Red and Gold.

So if you’ve never loved your school you’d better look about ’Er this Spirit’ll git you Ef You Don’t Watch Out. Onct there was a student group wouldn’t go to prayers, Said they didn’t like to climb away up stairs. But we’re goin’ to hear ’em holler an’ perhaps we’ll hear ’em bawl, ’Cause since the faculty’s found out that they’ve not been there at all We’ll seek ’em in the roomin’ house an’ on the campus, more or less, We’ll seek ’em in the library an’ everywheres I guess, An’ we know we’ll find ’em all a-hangin’ somewhere round about, ’Cause this Spirit’s a-goin’ to git ’em Ef They Don’t Watch Out. An’ one time some other “studes’d” never shout or yell, But act so p’lite an’ lady-like an’ keep tight in their shells When they’nt go to basket ball, a track meet, or debate; An’ even at the Booster Song they’d sit in solemn state. You’d better mind your actions an’ git up a little pep An’ yell like fire at basket ball, ’cause that’ll always hc’p, An’ never cut the campus when you know what you re about ’Cause this Spirit’ll git you Ef You Don’t Watch Out.

Do not hesitate to spit on the gym floor whenever you feel like it, especially if Peter is around. The resulting exercise is very stimulating. Seize every opportunity to whisper and giggle in the library, as laughter and the enjoyable companionship of friends aid digestion and promote good health. Be sure to attend all the dances given down town in the old I. O. O. F. hall, as dancing in moderation is the most healthful and exhilarating of exercises. Never disagree with Mrs. Buchanan when she tells you how much superior the Simpson Standards of Scholarship arc to those of Chicago; she might become angry. Do not bother to read the collateral assigned in History courses. It is a needless strain on eyes and nerves. Save steps and avoid that tired feeling by cutting campus whenever possible. Shake, Shake, Shake (Written after a first appearance in a Public Speaking class, with apologies to Tennyson.) Shake, shake, shake, From my hip to my foot, O Knee, And I would that I could utter The thoughts that arise in me. O well for the movie star, As she twinkles on, day after day, O well for the Victrola That you wind up when you want it to play. Shake, shake, shake; Till you wriggle my toes, O Knee, But the beginning and end of the speech that is gone, Will never come back to me. The 1920 Zenith If the Blind Lead the Blind “What is so rare as a day in June”, unless it be the army camp where Dame Rumor does not reign supreme. Army life without gossip would be as insipid as a cake without icing, a lover without a sweetheart, a rifle without a cartridge. From the time the rookie arrives in camp until he wipes its unhallowed dust on the home door mat, the soldier is pursued by the Rumor Hound with fangs, glistening, eyes blazing in the black of night. You had a good home, but you left, left”, Wait till you all get them shots in the arm”, “You’ll croak, big boy, you’ll croak”, yells the old timers to the bewildered recruit, and he believes them. The swift days go by, and then he hears that the quarantine will be lifted soon and the casual company scattered to the four winds. But the days pass and he sees the scarlet fever and exposure take off the man in the next tent. The quarantine is clapped on tighter than ever. Every day he hears the morrow will bring the coveted freedom. Finally he hears that the Company is to be shipped to the western coast and thence to Russia; that the Company is to be shipped to the eastern coast and thence to France; that the Company will be shipped to the South and thence to Mexico, and that the Company will not be shipped at all, but remain in camp for interior guard duty. He believes all these rumor in turn. At last he moves to a concentration camp. At first he learns that the place is the very epitome of the lower regions; that it is infested with sand and rocks and tree stumps; that the food is punk. Then he discovers through the agency of the aforesaid mistress, Rumor, that paradise is pale in com- parison; that Rome’s azure sky, flowers, ruins, statues, music, words, are weak, the glory they transfuse with fitting truth to speak,” and that the grub is delectable. The first report is probably the nearest to verity. He learns that King Bill has abdicated and the war is over, which, by the strange perversity which rules the affairs of gods and men, proves to be true. Then comes the trying time of waiting, when the zest for war is over and when he longs most to take back his place in the world. This situation is the very brand of life for Old Lady Gossip. How she gloats, how grimly she licks her chops, how horribly she grins in ecstasy. A friend who knows a mess sergeant who has a brother-in-law who works in the personnel office, tells our hero that the order just came in from headquarters to issue two suits of O. D. and overseas equipment, and that the regiment is to be sent to Siberia day after tomorrow. Then the captain tells the lieutenant, who informs the top soak, who slips it to the gold bricks, that the battalion will be demobilized on Friday, and that the order has come to turn in rifles and all web equipment. Great gobs of joy! Weeks pass and still the rumors fly. All married men to be released first. A hundred to be taken from the company for the Q. M. and Ordnance corps. tuc for life! Mother, take the service flag out of the window; your boy has joined the Jews’ army! Fifty men to be transferred for immediate service abroad. A new The 1920 Zenith war has started in Germany which makes the old one look like a game of tiddlcty- winks. Thus the stories go from mouth to mouth until they assume mammoth proportions. At last the day comes when the veteran receives that coveted scrap of paper which gives him the right to “life, liberty and pursuit of happiness”; and then he realizes that he is through with uncertainties, that rumor can no longer worry him. “Oh, Boy; ain’t it a grand and glorious feeling?” M. E., ’19. An Idyl I awake to the softness of spring mists The sky is gray; Thru my window the gentle south wind Wafts me the spray. I walk under tall, dripping trees, A shadowed way. O’er my head the twitter of birds, Like forgotten, far away words Of wee folks learning to pray. I walk on the soft yielding earth, The violet’s bed, The delicate frond of the fern Is crushed ’ncath my tread. Old winter is dead. Nature wields her magic brush swiftly, The world is green, The trees are a-flutter with banners, Patches of sky between. The world is lost in silence, In the haze of the mist pearl gray, My troubles cease; I feel a great peace.— ’Tis a misty spring day. The 19 2 0 Zenith Phantasy When the smoke from my pipe curling, and the drag of the drug is deep, And the soothing narcotics persuading the pulsating powers of sleep, And the coals will flame and flicker through ashes that long since were dead, And I dream gray dreams of my placid past, and hopes of a youth that are fled. When the raven portiers rustle with a sound that is sombre and drear, Then the awful gloom of my lonesome room inspires omnipotent fear. When the shattered shutters rattle with measured motive slow, My heart keeps time to the rythmic rhyme as my dreams move to and fro. A purple Pagoda in Persia, with colonades stately and grand, Is one of the scenes that I see in those dreams as I drift through shadowy land. But the snaky snarl of the sea weed that grow on the deep sea floor, Draw me out in the bay toward Mandalay to the wharves of Singapore. The heavy heat of the Tropics and the rot of the creeping vines, The sunlit skies and the animal cries, those mysterious jingle signs, The brilliant breasts of the bird life, the crawling things on the ground, Their movements tell of the torpid hell that is steaming all around. The vivid vistas are fading, my vision no longer is clear, For the land of dreams is not what it seems, it finally disappears; My mind is all in a chaos, my soul is full of doubt, For I feel old and my pipe is cold—the flame of my youth is out. M. McK., '22. The Moon In spring the sky seems always dark and low, as the air bears more aqueous vapor. Stars arc usually hidden in the mist and only the moon with a halo on her head and a veil on her face is seen now and then. When a blow of the breeze scatters the cherry blossoms like snowflakes, and when the fair queen of the sky peeps through her fine veil, the young Oriental court-lady sings the songs of spring, playing her harp. She sings the songs to the queen of the unknown land, who visits the court secretly to hear the song of the fair lady, and who goes away quietly leaving her smiles to the singer. The spring moon is so soft and so tender that it looks like the smiling face of the fair queen whose heart is charmed by the beautiful music. As soon as the last beam of the setting sun disappears beyond the western sea, the The 1920 Zenith large red moon begins to rise from the eastern horizon, bringing the cool breeze from the far sea. The natives of Oceania come out under the palm trees and sing and dance, playing their simple instruments. The dark sea is rolling the silver gems—the palm leaves are whispering the beauty of the moon. The eyes which sec the rolling gems no more sec the strong light of the sun; the cars which hear the whispering of the leaves no more hear the grave voice of their chief. The day of hard labor passed away with the hot sun and the night of the consolation came with the cool moon. The sunbeam of the summer is the light of labor and the moonbeam of the summer is the light of consolation. The sky is especially blue and high in autumn, so that the moon hangs brightly and clearly. As the night advances the air becomes stiller and the moon becomes clearer and it makes me think of the unfortunate man who is complaining against the moon. As I shut my eyes there appears a poor occidental emperor in banishment. He, lean- ing by a pine tree in a wood, is complaining his misfortunes against the moon and is recollecting the moon he saw from his palace window a year ago. At his zenith the moonlight seems to praise him; at his ruin the same moonlight seems to’pity him. How many men have complained against the moon, and how many times has she turned her pitiful eyes against them? It is an extremely wild night. The city is in great bustle for the celebration of the new victory; the proud king is having the grandest dinner at his gorgeous palace; the brave son is telling the story of his great adventure to his old parents near the fireplace. Leaving them in their happiness, the moon is visiting the wild battle field alone. The light of the winter moon is as clear and cold as the edge of the sword. The howling of the wind is as dreadful and wierd as the voice of the devil. The ground of the wild battle field is as pale as the dead man. The cracking of the cannons can be heard no more, the sight of the terrible battle can be seen no more, and yet the scene of the cold winter night is telling all the history of the field. The light of the winter moon pierces the human heart. According to the heart of the seer, the climate and the place the moon gives us the various kinds of feeling. It looks like the fair lady, like the night dew for the plants, like the comforter and also like the edge of the sword. But who can think that it is nothing but the cold mass of earth, as astronomer says? Kiyo Ukai, ’22. The 920 Zenith Some Popular Lies “I’m crazy about you.” “I haven't a thing to wear.” “I’ll drop in and pay you tomorrow.” “Only a stirring sense of public duty compels me to run for this high office.” “I never would have dreamed it was made over.” “I told her just what I thought of her.” “How well you look in that stunning new hat.” “I never in my life did so poorly.” “I am so glad you called.” “My wife and I have never had a cross word.” “I have enjoyed myself tremenduously, this evening.” “I really haven’t a minute to spare.” ’ “I was so disappointed about not being able to attend.” The 1920 Zenith Extract from Simpson College Anthology (With apologies to Edgar Lee Masters.) Where arc Alfred, Maxwell, Earl, John, and Clarence? The quick of wit, the strong of arm, the clown, the bluffer, the egotist ? All, all arc lost; lost in the wide, wide world. Where arc May, Margaret, Frances, Ruth, and Edith? The firm of will, the simple soul, the loud, the proud, the flirt? All. all are lost; lost in the wide, wide world. One had dramatized, One had poetized. One had warbled sweet songs of glee: One had sported, One had punned, One had spouted of nations free. Each was famous in his own line, All were known in chapel and hall; Each rode his hobby, and each won his prize. Where arc they now? All, all are lost; lost in the wide, wide world. Earl Pace Do you remember how I stood Upon the rostrum of the old chapel And “joshed” each student into laughter At my puns and witticisms, Thus generating pep for athletic events? Do you remember my career As editor of The Sirup,— As leading cornctist in the college band? You said the day I received my degree, That the editor of The New York Sun Was prepared to resign in my favor; That Sousa was begging me to join his band ; And Harvard, hearing of my famous impersonation Of our own college president, Was petitioning me to become its president. I went out into the world. After my brilliant college career, Every opportunity seemed commonplace; I am mired in the deeps of the Slough of Discontent. Hear me, ambitious souls: Popularity is the curse of a college career. Fern Shannon I should have been as great as George Eliot But for an untoward fate; For look at those essays, those stories, That poetry, those criticisms, I wrote in my English classes,— The marvel of all my classmates, The admiration of all my instructors. But Simp, duties, Zenith work, Debate and Science courses interfered, Giving me no leisure for my chosen field. Thus was the great college epic left unwritten.— Now it is too late. Go by, mad world. Vera Hollowell Ye aspiring one, hear! As a freshman, zealous and earnest, Marching, with conquering tread, Thru Chemistry, Trig, and Spanish, “All my grades shall be E”, I said. And true to my word did I live, Until the third year of my course, When the Biology Prof, here from “Chicago”, Snared my resolve, with a snare which blcad it to death, Till I, once strong of will, lay broken, indifferent. Henceforth all was blackness, I could do no more. Kenneth Parks You predicted, Simpson College, When I led you in college songs, When I starred in your operas, When Ted and I disturbed your classes By our lusty carroling, The 1920 Zenith As we strolled about the campus, arm in arm, That my voice was Middlctonian, My career metropolitan; But look at me now! Have I written my name On the scroll of fame? Have I soothed deep sorrow or healed broken hearts With my mellow basso? As the bird, loosed from his cage, Forgets to sing, Overcome by the joys of freedom, So I, when far away from my college and friends, I, even I, am mute. Lois Roberts When in college, I spent my time In the Zo lab, dissecting cats, frogs, and fish. Some gripping desire, I knew not what Impelled me on. I know the inward parts Of every member of the animal kingdom, But it availeth me not. For now, I am continuously haunted By the lives I have cut off; Their spirits e’er hover about me, My story is lost in silence. M. M., '20. Book VII Campus Comebacks 'mf w ,igpp-. e 19 2 0 Zenith Hints on Dressing (For men only) In order to most quickly and efficiently insert a hind collar button, proceed care- fully as follows: Take a long, heavy rope in hand, walk to the squarcst corner of Science Hall, rotate the body one consecutive time and walk directly ahead seven and one-sixtieth paces, if the moon is on the left side of your right hand. Always choose a clear day, when the rain falls straight down. As you reach the specified point, hurl the rope northwest and leave the end in the air, with the rope at an angle of thirty degrees. Quickly pull a threc-whcclcd bicycle from your hip pocket, leap on the handle bars, and in an erect sitting position, kneel down and ride swiftly up to the end of the rope. Let the car fall into the coal bin and insert two large sky-hooks into a passing sunbeam. Now tic the collar button on the end of the rope, leap to sky-hook number three and hang there by the rear teeth. Place the left knee directly behind the neck and steady it. Then, with the free hand, reach for the collar button, which is under the dresser, and kick it gently into place. As the left ear flops over the right instep, release your hold on sky-hook and do a flying leap for the street car, and you will find yourself sitting on the bottom of a bottle of blow-gas, all ready for the date. A Few Cracks at the Greeks Crack No. 1 The Delta Delta girls Have their quarters on a third story Down on West Ashland. They are up so high that They’re above reproach, Which makes it handy. Margaret Conrad is a Tri Delt; It pays to advertise. They used to have three Married women in their chapter, But they have all gone to live With their husbands; Which is nice for the husbands, But rather hard On the chapter. Crack No. 2 The Alpha Chi Omega girls arc the ones Who live in the A T O house this year. They have to pay rent On another House, too, Which runs them most awfully close On cash. But then, they say, we can always Pledge another girl every month, The 19 20 Zeni Which helps to pay the coal bills; Besides, spring will soon be here, anyway. Marion Stratton-Shcppard is an Alpha Chi, She is their matrimonial adventure. Mrs. Buchanan, of the faculty, is an Alpha Chi, But she doesn’t want anybody To find it out. So is Babe Wilt, and he doesn’t care. Their chaperone resigns weakly, Once a week. We do not know why. Crack No. 3 Pi Beta Phi is the sorority that lives Across the street from the Conservatory. Agnes Wright belonged in this House, But she quit school and got married So that Pi Phi Wouldn’t be the only frat in school That didn’t have a wedding During the school year. The Pi Phis like to write things down In black and white, But they sometimes lose the paper. These girls gave a formal this year, And they had porch awning and Draped porch steps, and an orchestra, And everything. Ruth Campbell, the Prexy’s daghtcr, Is a Pi Phi; So are Mildred Edwards and Winifred Seay. All three of these girls have dates. Crack No. 4 Mu Phi Epsilon is also A Sorority. Crack No. 5 The A T O boys live with Spriggles This year, while their House Draws rent. Ken Parks is an A T O; He is a funny little man Zenith Who climbs walls And crows. The Alpha Tau boys usually Have their Zenith pictures Taken in dress suits, but They didn’t this year. We wonder if the suit Has graduated. Milton McKay is a Tau Pledge; He writes poetry and smokes, the Naughty thing. The Taus claim that They arc ruff, so It must be so. Crack No. 6 The Kappa Theta Psi boys Live in the Brick House. Nothing happens there any more But Sunday dinners. Fat Shultz is a Kappa,— The cute dear. So is Loyd Swain. Earl Pace, of chapel renown, is also a Kappa. The Kappas have several Fratres in Facultate, Which makes it handy Sometimes. Ben Sykes keeps his dressy things At the Kappa House. He cuts quite a swath In his home town. Most all these men have had dates; Especially so before elections. Crack No. 7 Pi Kappa Delta is a fratority. Any one who has the nerve To pass himself off As an orator or debater Can get in. They hold their meetings The 1920 Zenilh In one of the rooms in the gymnasium. We understand that Their meetings arc quite interesting Sometimes. Crack No. 8 The Phi Mu Alphas have their pictures In The Zenith every year. To Catch a Clam Full Directions: (Shake well before using.) First, borrow a large lake and skew it around so that the wind blows from the left side at three in the morning. Then at sunset crawl stealthily out on the water, till you find an invisible bubble. If it is round, it came from a clam. Mark the location with a brown cross (use cray- olos). Then sneak back to shore and whistle a plaintive hymn, such as “If Your Wife Drinks, Liquor”. Then the clam will take its cane in hand and dive for the surface. Then run under the lake, upset it on the clam and let it die of suffocation. When it has struggled its last, you can claim it as your own. Corn (An Essay—A Product of Our Thriving Academy) Corn is a very useful vegetable. If it were not for corn, there would be no corn cakes with butter and molasses. Corn grows in large fields, and you plow it with a horse. There was a man who had a cornfield, and he had no horse, but he had a large and faithful wife, who took care of it, accompanied by a trusty dog, while he wrote poetry for the papers. We ought to be thankful if we have a good wife, which is much better than hanging around saloons and wasting your time in idleness. Corn is also used to feed hogs with, and can be made into cob pipes, which will make you sick if you arc not accustomed to it. Let us firmly resolve that we will reform and lead a better life. Anne B.: Oh, Besse, I know something funny about you. Bess D. (just in from a date): Oh, did you pass us? The 920 Zenith HE LEARNED IT IN THE ARMY HEARD DURING THE WEEK OF PRAYER John B.: Have you seen the minister yet, Shirley? Shirley: Why, no, John! I left that to you. Prof. Miller: If you had taken your book home last night you might have had this. Dickie: I did study this last night. Prof. M.: Ha, ha. It wasn't even in the book. Marie W. (in library): Where can I find Bacon? Mary C.: On cither side. Marg. C.: Wylie, why have you so much pathos in your voice? Wylie: Margaret, that’s not pathos you smell; that’s San Felice. Babe Wilt crosses the campus, garbed in a purple suit and red hosiery. Mary C.: Doesn’t Babe look dressy in his new suit? Fern S.: Yes, he looks like a bad bruise. Two fraternity men heard talking in the book store: First: Have you had your frat picture taken yet? Second: No. Shaw has the collar.

Give me time to stop it.” “Oh, excuse me; I didn’t mean to do that.” “I’ll never speak to her again.” “No refereeing from the side lines, please.” 3. From the Second Story of a Girls’ Rooming House: “That man’s a regular he-vampire in a uniform.” “Hasn’t he the darlingcst look on his face?” “I’ll never have another date with him. He can’t keep step with me.” “Did he tell you that? He fed me the very same line last night.” “I wonder if he’ll come again.” 4.

Don’t they know the game's started?” “Sweet little Jackie Boy.” 5. At Cleopatra: “I’m crazy about Julius Caesar. He looks like a boy from home.” “Why, I don’t think this is so bad.” The 19 20 Zenith THe k£ ser] Satuv-DJY MoVN CzrcfuLj C A Atr SwctryO'AN% TH-tN%?

Most everyone today has a very highly developed sense of what is right and proper in all manner of printing. It is one thing to appreciate superior quality and another to produce it. To produce it requires men of skill, industry and zeal : and a good equipment. We have a corps of efficient craftsmen who are schooled in what is right and how to get the best results. We have a master printer who will give your work his personal attention. Our equipment is of the best. There is a glowing sense of satisfaction in dealing with people in whom you have ab- solute faith. iiiiiiminiiiiiiiii «II 1111 Dependability je Clio JDtess Cconomy Stobertising; Company Iowa City Iowa The 19 20 Zenith Jno.
