S. ’20 'S- f C.VJ. S. The 1921 Zenith President9s Greeting A publication like the Zenith gives one an intimate view with the life of a college. It treats of things ‘grave and gay’ in a very familiar and unrestrained way. It is a family chit chat around the home fireside. Those who have left the old college home can again enter the charmed circle. It is an opportunity for new friends to enter deeply into the family life. j The door is open, wide open. Simpson is at home to friends new and old. Walk in and make yourself at home. Share our delightful family circle. Listen to our jest and jollity, our dreams and our plans. We are not ashamed of our home life. There arc no skeletons in our closets. Some of our rooms are not as well furnished as we would like and some of our clothes are a little thread- bare. But our poverty is honest poverty and our home life is rich, and stimulating. Old friends will find many new faces among both faculty and students, but the spirit is the same. Simpson spirit is self-propagating. It is con- tagious and perennial. We arc just completing a new front door to our home —we are proud of our new Administration Building. We are confidently expecting ere long to have a chapel new and yet old. Old friends arc proposing to refurnish and refinish it as a token of affection for the old home. We expect to give it a new name and call it Memorial Hall. Look upon those who leave us this year. We expect great things of them. Who has fairer sons and daugh- ters? They are worthy of their ancestry and of your acquaintance. Some of them have thrilling stories to tell of service of their country. Some of them have heard the cry of the hopeless and with torches kindled at our altar fires are setting their faces in the direction of the distant lands. From all of them we expect real sacrificial service. Again we bid you welcome to our fireside. John L. Hii.lman. t John’ L. Hillman, D. D. Our new Prcxy.

It encourages friendship and good will. The student through all re- ligious services is offered a valuable opportunity to think and talk intelligently before an audience. This opportunity also extends beyond routine services to Gospel Team work. The purpose of the Publicity Committee is to locate prospective students, and to bring before them the various reasons why Simpson College Academy is the school in which they should continue their training. The Social Committee purposes to promote the spirit of good will among the stu- dents by acting the Good Samaritan and by providing receptions and entertainments. It is the purpose of the Music Committee to develop within the Academy a taste for good music and to provide music for Academy Chapel and for the Lowell Pierian Literary Society. We have an efficient male quartet, and the Academy now boasts of its first orchestra. The Literature and Arts Committee purposes to create an interest in, and an appre- ciation of, that which is best in Literature and Art, not only among the committee members but also among all Academy students. The Committee works through the literary society and the chapel exercises. The Modern Progress Committee, at its first meeting, organized the Modern Progress Club, with Orland Huff as president and Ralph Harvy as secretary. The purpose of this club is to promote interest in social and political problems of the day by means of programs and discussions. It meets once every two weeks.

To be at the Geneva conference is to catch the World Vision. It is ten days of inspiration and recreation—ten days of study of world problems and modern Christianity with famous men and women. It is ten days of intensive training ip Christianity. Yes, you have a good time too, an unforgetable and unequaled good time on the lake, in the surrounding beautiful grounds and in the camp itself, for everyone has such a friendliness that the whole conference lives like one big happy family. Then above all is the spirit distinguishable everywhere, that spirit found on just this one small spot of the earth—the Geneva Spirit. To the student who can afford it, go! by all means. To the student who can’t afford it, borrow money of our Geneva Fund and go also. The 1921 Zenith A Glimpse of Geneva -P Student-V olunteers Somewhere, in the years gone by, there sprang from the consecrated missionary zeal and enthusiasm which has always been a vital factor in our college life, the Student Volunteer Band of Simpson College. The exact date for the origin of this Band is not known; docs that matter? Isn’t it much more worth our while to know that forty-six missionaries have gone from Simpson to the parts of the world where the Christ is not known ? And isn’t it also more important for us to know that the Stu- dent Volunteer Band still exists in Simpson College, and to know something of its work throughout the year of 1910-1920? In October, 1919, six students who were at that time Volunteers met with Dr. Holmes, our faculty advisor, and perfected an organization for the year. Today there are eleven young people who have signed the Student Volunteer declaration, “It is my purpose, if God permit, to become a foreign missionary.” This is not a vow, it is rather a declaration of willingness and of our purpose, to direct our studies and plans toward service in the foreign field. We want to go; and only God’s definite call upon us to stay here can keep us from foreign service. In close fellowship with us, and meeting with us each Sunday afternoon, are our Associate Members, a group of young people who arc vitally interested in missions, though not yet convinced of their own individual responsibility to service “over there”. Is it not significant to note that the five new Volunteers of this year were Associate Members first? The Student Volunteers, and Simpson’s missionary interests in general, have re- ceived much of information and enthusiasm, as a result of the International Student Volunteer Convention held in Des Moines last January, and through the messages of our own Bishop Stuntz and Dean Birnev during our Week of Prayer. The need of the world has been brought to the entire student body, and many have pledged their lives in consecrated service to the Master, “Whenever, wherever, and however He may direct.” The Call of the Centenary is upon us; and Simpson’s band of eleven Volunteers and fourteen Associate Members will not supply, with workers, our corner of the great unclaimed territories. More volunteers are needed. Arc you sure the Christ did not mean you, when He said, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; “Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” Have you found your place in His great plan for “The Evangelization of the World in this Generation” ?

M. Holmes, Faculty Idvisor The 1921 Zenith Homiletic Club The Homiletic Club of Simpson College was organized in October, 1919. Its mem- bership is composed of those students who are taking their college training with the definite expectation of devoting their lives to the Christian ministry or to some other form of specialized Christian service. The club’s regular work includes preparation of original outlines and papers on subjects of vital interest to ministerial students, systematic study of homiletics under the able direction of Dr. Holmes, and stimulation of a wholesome interest in the ministry as a life work. In addition to its usual programs the club has had the un- usual privilege, during the year, of being addressed by several men of outstanding prominence in the religious world. Among these were Bishop Homer C. Stuntz and Dean J. L. Birney. HONORARY MEMBERS Pres. John L. Hillman Dr. E. M. Holmes Dr. J. S. Rorinson ROLL Ernest E. Parks, President Cloyd C.

An’ what arc they goin’ to do? Alt’ how are they goin’ to to do it, When the chapel floor caves through? The Zetes say they don’t know, An’ the Everett’s arc skccred, An’ the Kis an’ Crescents, too, Arc every one afeered. Spose we Alps were mectin’ Away up in our room, An’ the chairs begin to slide, An’ we heard a awful boom! An’ suppose the walls ’ud crumble, An' maybe they’d fall in; An’ I just bet a penny Not an Alp would grin. Spose maybe we’d be havin’ A stirrin’ old debate, An’ the speaker 'ud disappear At an awful rate. An’ maybe we’d find him Down on the other floor, All sore an’ bruised an’ bleedin’, Until he couldn’t talk no more. Spose maybe we’d be givin’ A party fer our folks, An’ someone might be tel I in’ Some awful funny jokes; An’ maybe we’d forget ourselves, An’ laugh so long and hard, That many bats and spiders might Into our cats be jarred. Hut spose that we’d be havin’ Some instructor as our guest, An’ through that broken window ’ud Come a strong wind from the west, An’ maybe shake the chapel Until he’d reel an’ fall Flat upon that billowy floor With no dignity at all. Now maybe you’re a-laughin’ An’ think this all in fun; But honest, folks, I mean it, An’ we’re all -a goin’ to run When the walls begin to quiver, And the bricks begin to shake. I know our friends an’ classmates Time for funerals will take. Landy. I just bet the people What arc runnin’ this old school, ’Ud wish that they’d got busy, An’ not takin’ things so cool. For we’re sure the plaster's shaky, An’ you just can’t never know When a chunk will hit you, An’ you’ll have to go. But where're the Alps a-goin’? An’ what arc they goin’ to do? An’ how arc they goin’ to do it, When the chapel floor caves through? 'Fhe Zetes say they don’t know, An’ the Everetts are skeered, An’ the Kis an’ Crescents, too, Are every one afeered. I know where the Alps are goin’, An’ what they’re goin’ to do. They’re movin’ from their old home, Into one all nice an’ new. 'Fhe Zetes say they’re a-goin’, The Everetts, an’ Crescents, too, An’ the Kis an’ Alps will be there Long before the floor caves through. —E. B.

The name, Crescent, was given to me; hence my full name is Crescent Literary Society. My brothers were too old when I came to really like their baby sister. “Kail” is twenty now, and Everett fifty-five, so they never play with me. And my sisters were too busy and too grown-up to notice such a tiny infant as I was, and almost too busy to play, now that I’m older and bigger. Wasn’t there room for me? Could Alpian and Zetelethean care for all those one hundred and thirty girls in 1911? Can they care for the more than two hundred now? Oh, don’t they need the help of their baby sister? Don’t they think I know how? Why, Alpian can take good care of only fifty now, and she is twenty-nine years old; I’m only nine, and I have thirty in my care. Next year, when I move into my new modern apartment in Central Building, I feel sure I can care for fortv or fifty. Some of my girls come from my cousins, Lowell-Pierian Literary Society, so we often play together. You never sec Lowell without Pierian; they have been almost like the Siamese twins since 1911 or 1912. They are good cousins, and I enjoy their visits. When Ethel and Ruth, Helen and Hazel, were here, I often quarellcd with Zcta or Alpha over questions of closed shop or child labor legislation, and many times I won. Once I wouldn’t quarrel because I was too busy knitting and making Red Cross bandages. In just a few months I shall be ten years old. I don't think my family expected me to live that long, for I have had such a hard struggle. You see the climate was a bit cold for such a tiny baby; then I’ve had so many bumps while learning to use my feet, and I’ve suffered such severe ‘growing pains’. According to our family record, “Kali” and Alpian had exactly the same struggle when they were small, and they have grown strong. “Kail” must have been very strong, for he has just made a splen- did recovery from a very serious, though not contagious, illness. In spite of these baby diseases, I’m really quite a sturdy nine-year-old. And I’ve had such fun in the old home place these first few years of my life. Soon I shall move to my new home. I’m so well and strong now, that even the trials of moving day do not worry me. I’m looking forward to the best times ever, when I’m all moved and settled, and am really grown up! E. R. ’20. “Crescent” (Air: “Smiles”) “Crescent, now we know, just what makes us love you so, Just what holds us and enfolds us in your golden glow. Crescent, when you smile, everything in life’s worth while, As we wander, as we ponder, ’neath the green and gold. CHORUS “There arc friends who makes us happy, There arc friends to whom we’re true; There are friends who send us chocolate bonbons, When we’re lonely, sick, or very blue; There are friends who take us for a car ride, In the Paige, or Dodge, or Chevrolet, But the friends we think the very most of, Are the friends of the Crescent gay.” Rice, Day Jensen, Moser Cailv.

For have you never heard How once that Owl, long, long ago, When he was a youthful bird— He plunged himself in the Fount of Youth, That eternal, precious spring? He drank both long and deep, in sooth, Then capered like anything. The old Owl ne’er has been possessed Of rheumatiz or gout; The toothache he has ne’er caressed; All ills are put to rout. And now the Zctc Owl young and spry, With a never diminished pep, Is seen each week in the Zctc hall high As you climb the sixty-sixth step. Through spectacles tall, o’er Society hall The learned old fellow looks. He hoots not “To-whoo” as common owls do, But chants this refrain from his books: Zete, rah! rah! Zete, rah! rah!

I'he purpose of the association is to promote interest in the department and to develop facility in French parlance. The meetings are held fortnightly at the different fraternity houses. The “Beaux Esprits” live up to their name by attempting every manner of Art. Music, Literature, and Drama—all have been represented at their meetings. One Grand Opera has been staged this year with phenomenal success.

Through the interest instilled in the members by the head of the new department of Political Economy, Dr. J. S.

Only those registered in the debate classes were eligible to the intercollegiate teams. Three men’s debate teams were necessary this year, due to the introduction of the Pi Kappa Delta debate scries into the regular debate program. The question debated by the teams representing the school in the usual scheduled triangular was: “Resolved, That the Cummins bill offers the best plan of railroad administration”. The affirma- tive team met the Morningside negative team and the negative team was matched with the affirmative team from State Teachers College. The Pi Kappa Delta question is: “Resolved, That all industrial disputes of national significance shall be submitted to a federal board of arbitration”. All of the debates have not occurred as yet, but of those that have, one has been won by Simpson. Simpson has two girls’ debate teams, which will represent her in the debate series of the state league. The affirmative team will meet Parsons and the negative team will be matched against Penn. The question will be: “Resolved, That organized labor is justified in its contentions for the closed shop”.

Weeks The 1921 Zenith Oratory Krnns, Hamilton, Weeks Mr. Bert Evans represented Simpson in the field of oratory this year, with his oration on “National Character”. In the divisional contest held at Storm Lake, Buena Vista College, February 13th, he was given second place. This ranking entitled him to a , place in the State Oratorical Contest which was held at Decorah, Luther College, March 5th. Mr. Evans was given fifth place at the state contest, and is to be com- mended upon his work. For the first time, Simpson this year sent a contestant to the ladies’ extemporaneous contest held at Iowa City, February 21st. Miss Feme Weeks was the representative sent. The general question upon which the contest was based was “Profit Sharing”. Each contestant was given two phases of the question and allowed to choose the one she preferred. Miss Weeks spoke on “Profit Sharing and Labor”. She did not place but showed careful preparation and handled her subject well. Miss Caroline Burns represented Simpson in the Woman’s State Oratorical Contest held at Iowa City, February 21st. The subject of her oration was “A Nation With- out a Government”. The Woman’s State Oratorical Association is composed of most of the colleges and universities of the state, and is enthusiastically boosting oratory among college women. An increase in interest for this work in all colleges is expected to be developed. — C.0.3.

Coach Nile Graves Speculations last year concerning the future of Simpson's athletics under the guid- ance of Coach Graves have more than confirmed. Baseball, football and basket ball have all been under his direct supervision and good teams have been turned out in all, but the basket ball team has been par-excellent, probably because basket ball is “Soup’s” long suit.

The past two years they have been busy taking care of the gate receipts of the athletic contests. And it is greatly due to them that the finances of the Simpson athletics arc in such good condition «is they are at the present time, and due to them that Simpson has been enabled to have such good games «is h«is been her fortune to schedule of late. Along with the Athletic Association, the Joshua Club and its «iblc confederate, the band, have given their support to the games to make them a success. The princip.il work of the two latter is to generate pep for all games and this has been «ibly demon- strated on several occasions. With Fletcher Brown, president of the Joshua Club, and Hicks and Proudfoot as yell leaders, a lot of enthusiasm has been aroused over this year’s contests. The 1921 Zenith The 1921 Zenith THE 1919 TRACK SQUAD 1919 Track Season When the Maple Leaf runners copped 9 points at the Missouri Valley meet and placed fourth in the state meet, they closed one of the most successful track seasons they ever had. That a school of our size should pull down 9 4 points in straight uni- versity competition, is an unusual accomplishment, since several universities scored less. In the state Simpson beat out Drake, Coe, Cornell. Morningside and the lesser col- leges. The victory in the Little Five and the showing in the conference were real ex- hibitions. Further than that several home records were set. The half-mile relay team hung up a new record of 1 :37f£. Hendrickson lowered the high hurdle record to 16 flat. Sprague placed the low hurdle record at 27 flat. Henny also shifted the pole vault record to 11 ft., 1 $4 hi., although lie vaulted 11 ft., 6 in., in the Missouri Valley meet but did not win it. Stewart held the conference record of 151 ft., 5 in., for the javelin, though not an exceptional throw for him. His home record is 154 feet, 6 in. The distance records remained the same. Gunderson was looked to break them easily this year but due to a serious accident last fall is practically out of the game for any kind of sports. His loss will be very greatly felt this year by the track team. Last year he placed second in the mile and in the half mile at the state meet; he took first in the mile and second in the half mile at the Little Five meet and placed third in the Missouri Valley meet. Prospects look good this year for Simpson with Clark and Tennant back in track suits, with an abundance of new material and also with Hendrickson coaching them. baseball The 1921 Zenith 1919 Baseball Season The unseen powers worked against Simpson last season in baseball. A long schedule of games had been completed but due mostly to rain only three were allowed to be played. They were with Cornell, Drake and Morningsidc. Jackson and Hendrickson were the battery for Simpson and fought hard for Simp- son. There were others on the team who showed up equally well but many were new men and practice was cut into so badly that not a great deal was accomplished in baseball. This year the prospects look even better than they were last. More men arc in school and a great deal of interest has been manifest in baseball among them. Simpson should have a successful season this year. SUMMARY OF GAMES Simpson 7 Cornell 1 Simpson 4 Drake 12 Simpson 0 Morningsidc 3 Jfbotball THE LINE-UP Hendrickson . Quarter Back Slocum . .

Showed what a little man could do against a big man. Has finished his gridiron career for Simpson in great style. WYLIE HARTZELL ............................................................Senior Weight 160 Half Hack Wylie spent his last year in captaining one of the best teams that Simpson has ever put out. He will certainly be missed next year. Always had a word of encouragement for the team at all times and was a hard fighter. Good on the line or in the back-field. GLEN TRUMHO................................................................Senior Weight 155 End (Sub.) Received one of the longest passes ever passed on Simpson’s field. When given a chance he displayed as an end, and his loss by graduation will also be felt. CLARE HENDRICKSON..........................................................Senior Weight 160 Quarter Hack “Slim” has finished his athletic career at Simpson. Undoubtedly one of the greatest open- field runners Simpson ever put out. Always used his head, hands and feet. CLARENCE HARVEY............................................................Senior Weight 170 Guard A valuable cog in Simpson’s machine. Played his position with vim and vigor. A good consistent player. Will not be back next year because of graduation. CLARENCE HICKMAN........................................................Sophomore Weight 170 Tackle In every minute of the games. Could always be depended upon to do his part. His tackle has stopped many a play, and knew how and where to get his man. WALTER CLARK............................................................Sophomore Weight 150 Half Back A shifty player with oceans of speed. Fights all the time—never gives up; his gameness is a good example for any player to follow. Especially good at circling the ends. Used his head. RONALD SIPHERD .........................................................Sophomore Weight 165 Tackle Never missed a game. Played opposite Hickman, and has two more years to display his prowess Always opened a hole for his backs, and could hold his own on the defense. The 1921 Zenith ALBERT HALDEN....................................................................Sophomore Weight 160 End Great at breaking up plays. Usually the first man down on punts. Has played a heady end and when he reports for duty next year will be one of the strong nucleus for next year’s team. JOHN SLOCUM .....................................................................Sophomore Weight 155 Quarter (Sub.) Took Slim’s place when necessary, and will be a strong contender for quarter back next year. Has a good toe for drop-kicks and will make a good man with experience. EDWARD JEWETT....................................................................Sophomore Weight 185 Center (Sub.) First year out, and displayed his ability at center on several occasions. Plenty of weight and handles it to advantage. Has two more years to fight for Simpson. CLAUD HICKS......................................................................Freshman Weight 165 Full Back Came to us from Dallas Center Playing his first year for Simpson, he has showed some great stuff as a full back, and will undoubtedly make a record for himself in his three re- maining years. GERALD BRAUCHT...................................................................Sophomore Weight 2C0 Center Has had lots of experience. Came here from Monmouth. A stonewall to opposition and showed remarkable ability at figuring out where plays were coming from. Will play again for Simpson next year. WILLARD BEAN.....................................................................Sophomore Weight 170 Half Back At home in the back field. Played varsity at Highland Park a year before coming here. Will be here to help win victories for Simpson next year. JOHN TAYLOR...................................................................Freshman Weight 150 Guard The biggest little man on the team. His opponent was always a big man, but he could stop the plays, nevertheless. Showed good stuff in getting thru the lines and nabbing the other man. WALTON FRANK..................................................................Freshman Weight 165 Guard (Sub.) With this year’s experience he will probably be one of Graves’s most consistent men in the future. Has three years left to fight for Simpson and make a record. The 1921 Zenith 1919 Football Season When the season first started this year, prospects looked rather doubtful for a win- ning team. But it was soon decided that Freshmen could play and that brought out a lot of new material, much of which aided materially in building up this year’s team and also making a host of experienced players for next year’s team. With Captain Hartzell piloting the team and a star quarter back such as Hendrick- son is, Simpson could not fail to make a mark for herself. The team tied for first in the conference and placed men on conference and state teams. Hendrickson was quarter on conference and second state teams. Braucht was given center on conference team and he and Weldin were on the honor roll of the state. Hartzell, Clark and Wcldin were also on the honor roll of the conference. iry of the season: Simpson 20 Graceland 0 Simpson 0 Parsons 14 Simpson 10 Drake 12 Simpson 20 Des Moines 6 Simpson 33 Iowa Wesyclan 6 Simpson 10 Morningside 38 Simpson 14 Penn 14 The 1921 Zenith The 1921 Zenith IOWA CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS The above are the regular five who won the undisputed title to the conference championship and made a fast run for the state championship. Only a little hard luck in critical moments lost them the coveted title.

With but few exceptions, every game which the Red and Gold five played this season was snappy and full of thrills. After winning from the highly reputed Du- buque quintette, the general opinion was that Simpson was right in line for the State Championship again, but the losing of the Drake game on the home floor put them out of the race. Despite the defeats which the team suffered, they were without exception the peer of any team in the state. It was said of the Dubuque game that the first five minutes of play in it were the fastest ever witnessed in any college game. In Hendrickson, Hartzell, McGee, Weldin and Piffer, Simpson had five men who were hard to get around in any kind of playing. Hendrickson was given all-state center by the Des Moines Register and also all- conference center. Hartzell was given all-conference forward by the Capital sports writer and was on the honor roll of the Register’s all-state team. McGee headed the honor roll for both state and conference teams according to the Register. Weldin was given guard on the second all-state team by the Register and guard on the first conference team. Piffer was given a place on the third all-conference team by the Register. WINNERS OF HIGH SCHOOL TOURNAMENT Indianola High School sprung a surprise on people who had been following records of high school basket ball teams in the state. They were the dark horse of the tourna- ment, taking the jump on things and show- ing a class of ball that had hitherto not been seen in their playing. Summary of Simpson’s Eighth Annual Invitation High School Basket Ball Tournament l his year’s high school basket ball tournament is one of the best if not the best ever held here. Some thirty teams competed and ail the games were fast and interesting. 1 he Indianola team sprung the surprise of the tournament when they jumped into the lead and kept it until the last blow of the whistle. Anita showed them merry competition and Centerville also had a very strong team. The town people and the college folks all helped boost to make it a real success. Following are the all-tournament teams picked: FIRST TEAM Mi la xi of Centerville . . Forward Brown of Fairfield . . . Forward Graves of Indianola . . . Center Fickle of Anita .... Guard Scrogos of Indianola . . . Guard SECOND TEAM Steele of Indianola . . . Forward Jeffres of Knoxville . . Forward Kklloway of Anita . . . Center McIntire of Indianola . .

Swart (Anita), Forshay (Anita), Sparks (Clarinda), Basham (Exira), Bruckshaw (Centerville), Thompson (Albia), Green- wood (Emerson), Morris (Clarinda), Larson (Exira), Hoskins (Clarinda). Women9s Athletics The Meccawee Club Every girl in Simpson College belongs to the Meccawee Club. The Meccawee Hoard is comprised of the officers and the managers of the various activities, through which a girl is enabled to win the three hundred points which entitle her to a dis- tinctive honor “S”. Some are even so fortunate as to win six hundred points which gives them the old gold sweater. Hiking is one of the all-round favorites. The completion of the series of hikes designated by the manager entitles one to seventy-five points. Basket ball is always exceedingly popular. This year much of the practice was given to the varsity, but notwithstanding the small amount of practice, the girls played some snappy games in the tournament. Tennis, gym frolics, baseball and track arc other diversions in which the Simpson girl finds time to take part, each starring in her own line. The 1921 Zenith Meccawee Managers Rose Tennant—Tennis An enthusiast for that love game. Margaret Conrad—Basket Ball Has been suspected of foul play on the basket ball floor. Fern Weeks—Baseball A supporter of all sports. Ethel Lindsey—Hikes Loves to hike and walk, but is not averse to strolling. Jessie Shannon—Track Takes everything in school, but specializes in track. Marjorie Flint—Frolics Has been known to dis- play her temper during a game. “S” Club JESSIE SHANNON Goes out for every sport. Is not selfish with her surplus energy. Gets by with more rough stuff on the basket ball floor than any other player. Won fame in track as a freshman. MARGARET CONRAD Won her sweater when a sophomore. Is there with the goods when it comes to basket ball. Inclined to impose upon her freshman forward. The necessity of calling fouls bores her. LUCILLE PORTER A running mate of Jessie. Has an uncanny «ye for baskets. The seniors’ principal point- gatherer. Coached basket ball this year. Be- lieves in letting them ‘‘rough it” a little. BLANCHE MINNICH She holds the gavel. One of the best basket ball guards. Has played her last year for the •class of '20. Has won a sweater. AVIS McADOO Is always on hands when the basket ball is in play. A sister of Frances. Plays a good, ■consistent game as guard. MARGARET KIRKENDALL The other Margaret on the junior team. Also plays baseball. Her position is behind the bat. Loves to hike. Starred in gym fes- tival. SYLVIA BREWER A persistent worker in all athletics. Won most of her points by hiking. Played basket ball her second year. BLYTHE CLAYTON ’Poo busy to play basket ball this year. She has a car, so she no longer hikes. Played little center her junior year. RUTH KIRKENDALL Went out for both basket ball and baseball. Could be depended upon in either game. GRACE HUGHES Used to play basket ball. A twentv-milc hike doesn’t even make her tired. Chapel Speech Boosting Girls9 Basket Ball Tournament By Blanch Minnich [With apologies to Abraham Lincoln] “Some few years ago our former sisters brought forth in Simpson College the idea of a girls’ basket ball tournament, conceived in the needs of the time, and dedicated to the proposition that the right to competition should be fair and equal. Now we are engaged in one of those class tournaments, proving that the idea has still endured. Again we meet on that great battlefield of past class conflict. We here dedicate our- selves to the great task of carrying on that idea of those who here have put forth great efforts that that idea might live. “And it is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense we cannot appreciate nor can we perpetuate that first idea. For the powers that be, then as now, have put it far above our power to add to it or detract from it, that zest and speed which it now has. “You people will little note nor long remember what we say here but if you attend the tournament games you can never forget how we played there. It is for you, the other students, rather to come out as boosters and help those who struggle there to carry out this old idea so nobly advanced. “It is for all of us in cooperation to here dedicate ourselves as boosters, that this shall be the best tournament ever, that we shall not have played in vain but that this inter-class series, backed by all loyal Simpson boosters, shall have a new birth of en- thusiasm, and that this tournament, of the students, by the students, and for the stu- dents, shall not be a failure.” RFSULTS OF TOURNAMENT Despite the fact that a great deal of the practice time had been given over to the Varsity, the girls were whipped into shape by double practices the last two weeks and the annual Girls’ Basket Ball Tournament was staged March 25 and 26. The first night the Seniors played all around the less experienced Freshmen, and carried away the big end of a 16 to 4 score. The second game was between the Juniors and Sophomores, which finished by eliminating the Juniors from any chance at the championship. The following night the Sophomores surprised the over-confident Seniors by romp- ing away with a victory by a two-point margin. This was the first game the Senior class team had lost in the last three years. The Juniors outplayed the Frosh but on account of hard luck at baskets won by only one point. During these games some really good technique and basket shooting were exhibited, and all the games were fast and snappy and no one can longer say that girls’ basket ball games are like a game of marbles.

McCOY, Representative Residence Phone 483 Office Phone 701 First National Bank Building Indianola, Iowa The 1921 Zenith The 1921 Zenith Shoes O wad sonic Poiv’r the gif tie gie us To see oursels as others see us,” says Robert Burns, and I am certain that he was especially referring in this poem to shoes. Do you realize in the morning as you lace your high-topped boots, what a tre- mendous responsibility is thrust upon them, and that perhaps that very day someone will judge your personality by your footwear? As I sat across the asle from you in the street car yesterday, I watched your shoes, and before you left the car I felt as though I had known you for years. Your stout, black, laced shoes, neatly polished, from their round toes to their common sense heel, told me that you were practical, careful, firm and steady. I knew that you had a Puritan conscience and a strong sense of duty. You were Dependability in capital letters. At your side sat “Milady of the White Kid Boot”. Although it was damp and rainy outside, she sallied forth in white boots as though it were a calm May morning. The soiled tops, with a dash of whitening on one side, the snagged and run down heels, the knotted shoe laces and the spots of mud on the toes, disclosed that she was of a very different personality than you. Rather impractical, slovenly and extrava- gant, she was a Woman of Style. She had an ice cream sundae mind and a matinee intellect. Next week she will array herself in a new pair of patent leather ties—the latest in Spring Fashions. On your left side, thrust into the aisle, were a pair of natty brown English walking shoes. Unmistakably they belonged to the College Man. As I viewed their glisten- ing perfectness, I shuddered, thinking of the hole in father’s pockctbook. They softly patted time to the jazz music that he whistled as he gazed at the College Girl farther down the car. Her thin-soled classy kid pumps wriggled impatiently as we stopped on each corner and moved restlessly as she tried to center her wandering attention on Chaucer. The man across the aisle who chewed his gum so rhythmically and shuffled his feet to the inharmonious melody which he hummed was the Sport. His brilliant, huge, yellow oxfords blended well with his plaid waistcoat and diamond scarf pin. His silken shoe laces were dangling and Hopping at every step, and the boxed toes and elaborate perforations on them proclaimed his personality afar. With a heart as big as his shoes and a spirit as bright as their hue, he was a whole-souled, happy-go-lucky Optimist. These were friendly shoes, although they were unpolished and run over at the heel. They had been half soled and resoled until now the thin tops were almost gone. Stretched out of shape and laced into zigzagged lines, they were somehow attractive and appealing. “Employment—Labor—Hard Work,” they shouted, “we have trudged weary miles today and although our life of uscfulnpss will soon end, we arc a cog in the great world of service.” But one need not travel to meet people. Indeed the story is told of an old cobbler, living in a cellar, who met and knew many people despite the fact that lie scarcely ever came in contact with the world above him. From his little basement window, he could see only the shoes of persons who passed, yet he recognized the various types of character and judged their personalities by the shoes that they wore. As A falcon’s feathers fit a falcon”, so your shoes fit you.—Harriet E. Scroggs. The 1921 Zenith The 1921 Zenith (Second Edition ) Annual Publication of Simpson College Edited by the Ten Best Politicians of the Junior Class DEDICATION To the students who have swiped snap-shots for use in this book from the memory books of all their friends, we, the class of 1921, dedicate this second edition of the 1921 Zenith as a token of our gratitude. FOREWORD The year 1919-20! What can we say for it? Surely there has been a marked interest in campustrv, oppressive cases, jolly good times, and many tenth credits de- ducted. May the pages of this second edition of the Zenith bring clearly before your memory the narrow escapes and painful after-effects of all those picnics and theater parties of your school existence. ORDER OF HOOKS Campus College Organizations Fraternities Athletics Local Color •There are always two sides to college life — the serious and the frivolous. In the first edition of the 1921 Zenith we have portrayed only the frivolous side of the life at Simpson. In the second edition we are going to show the serious side — the side which represents our real purpose for being here, the side which shows the results of our work and the benefits derived from it.

Said friends to his mother, “You might as well know it, That kid’s naturally fat and he’ll never outgrow it.” We cannot dodge it, it’s absolute truth, It’s a mighty great step up to manhood from youth.

The 1921 Zenith Bluebird Lane Down bluebird lane in early spring I’ve plucked the first Howers blooming. And watched the ehewink on her nest So modest, unassuming; I’ve seen the red squirrel climb his tree And in amazement peer at me, I’ve heard the thrushes carol ring Down bluebird lane in early spring. Down bluebird lane in summertime I’ve passed when night was falling, And felt the cooling breezes stii And heard the night birds calling; I’ve heard the toll of Reno’s bells And caught their rhythmic lulls and swells; I fancy now I hear their chime Down bluebird lane in summertime. Down bluebird lane in autumn days I’ve missed the chirp of crickets When dying leaves fell all about And rustled in the thickets; I’ve looked away toward setting sun And felt another season done, Then turned again with tearful gaze On bluebird lane in autumn days. Down bluebird lane in winter’s chill I’ve seen the blizzard sweeping, Worshiped the fury of the storm And felt my wild heart leaping; Then on the morning cold and bright, The rising sun shot balls of light, Poured diamonds on the snow-capped hill Down bluebird lane in winter’s chill. —Allen Stanley. Who invented, I beseech thee, This heyday, Where they teach us how to teach For our pay? Who invented this tarnation, This eternal irritation. This confounded Education Anyway ? I’ll admit that it’s sublime,— Very fair, When it comes to killing time It’s all there. In a class the minute hand Of your watch just seems to stand Or backs up to beat the band, As you stare. First you think the bell must ring And accuse Frank of too much studying: Get the blues; Then you think perhaps you’d better Read a book or write a letter. There is time to knit a sweater If you choose. Now the lock upon the door Gathers rust; And you want to walk the floor, Sit you must. Or perhaps you watch a fly Watch it wither, age and die,— Wither up before your eye Into dust. Cobwebs cluster in your hair, On your nose; As you sit your crumbling chair In a doze. And you think of one far day When you tripped in young and gay Rut you come out old and gray At the close. Who invented, I beseech, This heyday, Where they teach us how to teach For our pay?

P. Newell Donald Shaw Ivan Willis The 1921 Zenith Book IV—Fraternities ALPHA CHI OMEGA The Alpha Chi girls live away out on West Ashland. These girls do not keep a janitor; they let their dates fire the furnace. The neighbor boys carry out the ashes. The Alpha Chis rush with men, but sometimes it doesn’t work. They have a fireplace and a private little alcove and a porch swing. One of them announced her engagement the first day of leap year, so you can see that they are not slow. They play rough in basket ball, too, and are crooked in politics. They even placed in the Zenith election this year. ALPHA TAU OMEGA The Alpha Tau boys arc the ones who live in the big white house with the new wall paper. They put it on themselves, too. If you want to learn a trade, here is your chance. Their Scotch housekeeper makes a fine chaperone; she disturbs them only when she snores too loud. These boys took their girls to the Hotel Fort Des Moines for dinner. It cost lots of money, too, they say. They say that the difference between them and the Kappas is that they throw money and the Kappas throw confetti. Vandy, the boy with the patent leather hair, is a Tau. DELTA DELTA DELTA The Tri Delt girls have a sign on their house. They also have a leather coat. They live across the street from, and in, the college book store. They have had domestic trouble this year. They are doing pretty good in grades, though. They beat the Kappas. Folks call their whistle the Call of the Wild”. KAPPA THETA PSI The Kappa boys are the ones who wear the flannel shirts and red sweaters. They have a little red car and an iron bank to keep their pennies in. These boys arc awfully athletic. They play horseshoes with dollars. They were horribly proud of themselves when the grade reports came out because their name was at the top of the list. (The paper was upside down.) Wylie got married for them because both of the other frats had married men and they didn’t have any. MU PHI EPSILON The Mu Phi girls sing and play and arc terribly temperamental. Sometimes they get to feeling like singing away early in the morning and go serenade the boys at four o’clock A. m. They have had several bright ideas like this. They can appreciate them if other people can’t. These girls had a formal this year and hired taxis. There is no hope for you, though, unless you used to sing in the choir at home or have taken music lessons because they have to be musicians. PI BETA PHI The Pi Phi girls arc the ones you always sec on the front row in chapel. Perhaps they think something is going to be passed out some day. Their alumnae are going to give them a new davenport. The old grads hated to see the dating record sink so low. They have a married woman in their chapter. I guess she was thinking about her husband when she let what she brought the chapter from her home town get away and into the enemy’s camp. Their chapter is awfully large. They can’t even take all their relatives. Folks wonder why they took as many as they did. PI KAPPA DELTA Pi Kappa Delta is an honorary organization. Practically all its members arc notorious, for something. They wear a big round red and yellow “S” instead of a frat pin. They claim it costs them $1.50 per year, too. Professor Dennis is their high priest. He takes them seriously. SIGMA DELTA CHI “After that, the deluge.” After the Zenith election, the Sigma Delta Chis. These boys arc a recently organized combination of political crooks and preachers. They arc going to put out the Zenith next year. We wonder if the charges or the college will suffer. They admit that they intend to get a national charter some time this spring. PHI MU ALPHA Phi Mu Alpha is an organization of all the men in school who can torture the public with some form of music. I guess it is a branch of the musicians’ union. They like to think they are a regular fraternity. They even got some pledge pins this year and have held two or three meetings. Moreover, they threatened once to get a house, and they have their pictures in the Zenith, like all the rest of ’em. The 1921 Zenith Book V—Athletics Athletics are horribly important at Simpson. Practically every one who amounts to anything at all is athletic. I can prove it to you. Joyce Tennant, the distinguished looking man, with the leather coat and the dog shimmys; Johnny Fellows, the little man with the long, slick pompa- dour, takes hikes clear out on West Ashland every day; Floyd Carder, the prima donna baritone, carries water from the campus pump to Mary BerryTlall before every meal; Marie Pruitt, the little girl with the short, black, curly hair, rolls her eyes; Bill Copeland, prize ivory tickler, chews gum consistently. I could give many other instances too numerous to mention. There have been lots of athletic contests in school this year. Brenton Henderson, Merril Harncd, and Floyd Daft, and others used to race to see which could get to the telephone first to call 99. This contest was spoiled, though, at about the second lap, due to the debut of a diamond, the insignia of an earlier entry from the home town, which penalized our heroes considerably. Some of them are still pluckily staggering along, however, with the good old Simpson athletic spirit. Professor Gose and Professor Rcgicr stage endurance contests in their chapel speeches every once in a while. The score is generally a tie between them, but the both of them always outlast the audience. Athletics were especially popular among the girls during rushing season. Several people took two-mile hikes out to little Doris Himstreet’s and back. Many races were run after five o’clock classes to Louise Birdsell’s room, and others at Mary Berry Hall. Some of the boys used to play a very vicious game called football. They soon tired of this, however, and they haven’t played it for a long time. It is not much to be regretted, for it did muss them up something awful, making perfectly handsome boys look like dirty ruffians. Little Eddie Proudfoot seemed to be the only one in the game who was able to maintain a smart condition of dress. I guess the game was very athletic, though. Later on they played a game in the gymnasium where they tried to throw a big ball through a couple of barrel hoops draped in fly nets at either end of the floor. The boys wore pretty white sweaters when they played this, but it might be said that their costumes might have been a little more general. The most spectacular part of this game is where the fly nets get caught on the barrel hoops and Soup Graves, gracefully leaping from the floor, grasps the hoop with one manly arm, and swinging there athletically, unwinds the net from the hoop with the other. I guess they got tired of this, too; anyway, they don’t play it any more. The boys arc pitching dollars now on the campus, and shooting craps. I have been told that they are both very spirited athletic games. The most prominent thing in the line of athletic contests, though, was the Girls’ Basket Ball Tournament. These girls got awfully athletic. Miss Frisbic showed that she could throw the ball almost to the ceiling of the gymnasium when she put the ball up at center, which is quite athletic. The Sophomore girls wore white stockings and looked quite fetching. No doubt it was the consciousness of this which gave them the confidence to win the tournament. The Seniors wore red bandana handkerchiefs, and it is no wonder they were unable to play their best, know- ing that their head-dress was of such a burgeois character. Quite a few athletics were pulled off in this tournament. They say Blanche Minnich fouled, and lots of things like that. Every- thing was extremely athletic. You can see from all this that we believe in athletics at Simpson.

So swift they follow, dark on daybreak’s heel That keen is the discomfiture I feel, When I have planned and set to do a thing, To have night come without my finishing Or having well begun with end in view One half the task I loved and meant to do.

They looked upon the profession as an art and lost sight of the commercial aspect of the business. This practice pre- vailed until about the middle of the past century, at which time the commercial idea almost obliterated the artistic side and the quality of printing deteriorated to an alarming extent. Many printers today do not seem to appreciate that quality is an essential in the establishment of a good printing house. The public is largely to blame for this situation. Often it is the matter of a few cents or a few dollars, according to the size of the contract, that determines who will do the work. A firm with a reputation for quality receives no more consideration than one that cares but little for the appearance of the work they turn out. Our policy is to give each piece of work the attention which it merits. If it be a College Annual such thought and attention is given as is necessary to pro- duce a book that will look well and wear well. A blank form receives the attention that it should to be of service to the user. And so with every other kind of work— each class receives the proper attention to make it attractive and useful. Whatever your needs you will render yourself a serv- ice if you turn your printing over to us.

How well we remember with what eagerness we plunged into the work which we thought would he a small but delightful duty. What original novelties we planned to introduce; what a glorified vision we had of a wonderful hook which was to excel all that had gone before and all that should come after it. Hut the best laid plans of mice and editors of college annuals often have the habit of cutting up deplorable capers. Last year we were insulted when the Zenith editor said in referring to our election, “The poor nuts don’t know what they’re getting into . Now, we know what she meant. We have hounded people night and day, trying to get them to have their pictures taken; we have racked our brains almost to distraction for ideas which absolutely refused to come until the last minute; we have ravaged the memory hooks of our friends to obtain snaps that would fit our pages; we have begged and plead with cases who were bashful and did not want to get in front of a kodak; we have worked late at night (and slept late the next day) ; hut altogether, we have enjoyed the work, wc feel that we have done our best, and we hope you will like it. If your picture failed to appear on the snap pages, please believe that it was because wc could not obtain it; if the slams were too hard, accept our apology; we really didn’t mean to hurt anybody’s feelings. As a final word for this volume of the Zenith, we can think of no better way of expressing our thoughts than in the words of the editors of another college annual of recent date, who said: IF hat it was to he And was not, What we wanted it to be And it would not, Please imagine it to be. For we cannot
