We had hardly begun in the production of this biannual, how- ever, when we realized the meager power of our description. Though' we have fallen short of our Hxed ideals, we have endeavored always to follow out the principles of our purpose. We lhavetried to picture the bloom of prosperity that has now hovered about the walls of Our Horne with a tender clasp for one quarter century. lt has been our aim and wish to crystalize in this book remembrances of the days we have spent in the pleasant atmosphere of these College walls. lf, with our efforts, we may present to anyone a passing contour of our united College spirit, or if, perchance, we may re-awaken in some one golden memories of days spent under the guidance of this institution, we shall consider our en- deavors tto have at least partly answered the purpose that we had in mind. It is in this spirit that we offer you SSTHE SAINT.,, w ' www Ak N .4 I A TO THE FOND MEMORY OF MR. J. P. BADEN, WHO SO UNSELFISHLY GAVE THE FRUIT OF MANY YEARS OF HONEST TOIL TO THE FOUNDING OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE, GIVING THEREIN A PRICE- LESS GIFT TO US IN OUR EDUCATION, AND WHO IN HIS LIFE PRESENTED TO US AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF TRUE CHRISTIAN MODESTY THAT WILL ASSIST TO GUIDE OUR LIFE CORRECTLY ON ITS JOURNEY, DO WE GRATEFULLY DEDICATE THIS VOLUME.

Unlike our other institutions, s . . . eriod maintained instead of by the Synod, by a single individual, Mr. .l. P. Baden. P , , . . . Mr. Baden, encouraged and aided by his noble wife, conceived the idea of founding a College, and this he considered later on, his life's work. There is a sharp contrast between St. John's and many other institutions, inasmuch, as her founder was a strictly Christian man, who considered it a privilege and duty to do everything in his power for the further development and spread of the Lutheran faith. He was a devout member of the St. Martin's Congregation of Winheldg and up to his death in 1900, both he and his family were very regular in their church attendance. The founders of many institutions are prompted in their undertaking by a desire of honorg however, we know that such was not the case with our benefactor, Mr. Baden. Prom the inner depths of his heart, he realized the great need of trained men, not only for the Lutheran ministry, but for every profession of life. Hence, the erection of St. .lohn's College, as a co-educational institution, with both Classical and Commercial Departments was made a reality. he was built, and in her early Building operations were begun in 1893, but the first building was not com- pleted till the spring of 1894, however, in the fall of 1893 classes were opened in the second story of the Baden Block of this city. Prof. H. Stoeppelwerth, then just graduated from Concordia Seminary, of St. Louis, Mo., became the first regular instructor in the 'College courses, and he has now served in that capacity for twenty- five years. Our Hrst President was found in the person of Prof. H. Sieckg however in 1895, failing health brought about his resignation, and Prof. A. W. Meyer wad chosen as his successor, he also serving in that position up to the present time. Since then our increased enrollment has added the following Professors to our regular teaching force: Prof. Chas. Scaer in 18945 Prof. Louis Steiner in 1895' Prof Martin Craebner in 1910g and Prof. J.W. Werling in 1918. Besides thisitwo figgigt t teachers are regularly employed in the College Department. , C an I Primarily the institution was deeded to the English Lutheran S nod f M' souri, Ohio, and other States, but upon the death of Mr. Baden in 19300 fh E- eicpenses for the running of the institution were beyond the power of thi i Vi en .T e tion to carry, as the fund left by him had been exhausted, St. .lohn's Sdoriamza- the most trying times of her existence.

The Synod readily voted her willingness, however, finding her finances somewhat low, she did not undertake the actual construction of an addition to the College until in the spring of 1915. ln the meantime, however, the Board of Directors, having found it a very important question to obtain room for the increasing number of students, decided upon the plan of building our present college gymnasium. This building was dedicated on the Sth of November, 1914. During the following two years it served as sleeping quarters for the dormitory students. Finally, in the spring of 1915 conditions permitted the realization of the Board of Directors, hopes, when the ground was broken for a new fire-proof, modern, and well-equipped dormitory, the construction of which was to exceed sixty thousand dollars. This welcome addition to the College was dedicated on the 4th of June, 1916, and now offers ample room and comfortable quarters to all boys wishing to enter. The city of Winheld also, has proven herself one of our best friends. ln 1908 the business men of Winfield presented the block on which the boys' new dormitory now stands, and in 1915, when the construction of the new building began, Winfield again showed her good will by presenting a lot embracing about three and one-half acres, to be used as a campus. St. .lohn's has proven herself strong in meeting the difficul- ties of the past, and we hope that she may continue on her upward course, reaping the fruits of the seeds of toil that she has sown. 17 44 ll llll lllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllll ll llllllllllll - tuiir llllomne th irrives in which we, having finished our elementary tf ltime of our ou 1 - . . .

Kloster. lt is modern and efhcient in every res- pect, and is becoming more and more popular each succeeding year because of' its -thoroughly practical nature. The courses offered are not elementary, but they are upto the standard of those ofthe best business colleges ofthe country. The Commercial Department is a fully recog- nized department ofthe College and therefore has many distinct advantages, most important of which is the privilege of taking classes in English and lN4athematics in the Scientihc Course. This makes it possible for those who are weak in the common branches, or those who desire a more thorough course to take classes in these subjects. , The subjects included in the various courses are: Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Typewriting, Civil Government, Commercial Law, Commercial Geography, Letter-writing, Business English, Penmanship, Rapid Calculation, and classes in Grammar and Arithmetic in the Scientific De- partment. The young man, or woman, who has taken a thorough course in these subjects has acquired a knowledge of aflairs of the business World which will be a Great ad g 1 1 vantage to him through life. ltle has learned the use of the var- ious commercial papers and the science of book- keeping, the art of writing shorthand and the - x .

I X , MISS FERN DIELMANN MISS PAULINE SCAER a a a o aie ALTHOUGH ST. .lOl-lN'S does not advocate the study of music to the same degree as the r classics, nevertheless she realizes its importance and has made ample provision for all music lovers desiring instruction. Not only future business men should realize and appreciate the ima portance of music, but especially students who intend making the ministry their life's profession. Especially the study of the piano forms an important link of a student's education. Our Piano Course consists of two schools, the Preparatory and Academic, the Preparatory School deals with the fundamentals, starting from the ground up, while the Academic School takes up the higher grade work. Great interest is taken in piano 'work this year as the spring recitals show. Miss Pauline Scaer and Miss Fern D-ielmann, who have charge of this department, are both graduates of the Winfield College of Music and have taken higher supplementary work. Our violin department is largely supplementary to the orchestra, and is thoroughly com- petent to take care of students desiring instruction on the violin. We are sorry to have lost Mr. Harold Steiner, who has been conducting our violin department in the past, but are very glad to have secured Mr. Walter Getrost, a graduate of the Winfield College of Music, who also leads the Orchestra and Quintet. Vocal instruction is urged upon all students and is to a certain extent compulsory, as the faculty realizes the importance of vocal training in later life. All singing organizations are encour- aged and given .free instruction. Zomar, the students' chorus, provides an excellent opportunity for any one desiring vocal instruction. This department is well taken care of by Mr. Robert Steiner, a graduate of the Winfield College of Music. May the interest in music, so well fostered in the past, continue to grow in the future, and may the deep appreciation and true interpretation of that noble art become embedded in our hearts, so as to form a true pearl of our education. 23 . . -- - - N 'Qff7'1iff,T' E'-Q7F1'Eif,L The epairtmiemit of Expression MISS EDITH DIELMANN HILE the Course in Expression is not a Depart- ment of the College that has been instituted by the Synod, it nevertheless takes a very prominent position in the life of student activities. This branch of study 'has steadily risen in importance and there has been a constant increase in the enrollment in this department. The accompanying picture shows our instructor of expression. Miss Edith Dielmann has been at the head of this department for four years. She is a graduate from Southwestern College in Oratory and from the Cum- nock School of Oratory, Northwestern University, and she has studied in Chicago and Boulder University. Every year she presents her pupils in recitals and plays, and the increasing interest with which the students regard this line of work speaks well for her ability as an instructor. The purpose ofthe course is to bring about a clear and distinct enunciation, to teach the student to breathe correctly, and thus to create ease and purity of tone in making him a natural and forceful speaker. Besides the excellent advantages of voice culture, it tends to awaken the imagination and feeling. The results of this course are plainly seen in the students' literary work. St. .lohn's being an institution founded princi- pally for the training of young men for the ministry, the great importance of such a department can readily be seen, and we hope that one day it may be a require- ment in the College Curriculum. --We eeee ---5 wa-- .CCM eo . . .

Though we are sometimes tempted to think that we have been in the front lines of active service, we nevertheless feel that there have been many opportunities which we have failed to grasp in our chances for success. We feel, however, that we have made an honest effort in following the course of this institution,s guidance, and as the light of her love and fellowship fades from the Helds of actual contact into the dimming dusk of memory, we wish only to be held in fond remembrance as members of the Great College Family of St. John's. i 26 s 'ful k.5,ul.vn lllillillnus l l.IZ1I'1i S,- I 151. . --K wurse ' V '-1 1' felt --Av -'unity ' ls' i 'N Hwwiazli- ' N- ltivtl -,X .I rv!

Carl Appel spent his preparatory years in the Luth- eran College at Clifton, Texas. He brought his handy name Jack with him from the Lone Star State, and therefore we know nothing of its origin. He is strong and well built, about five feet, eight inches tall, of med- ium weight, and as ready as Goliath for a rough-and- tumble. However, this characteristic qualifies him well for a Room Buck -as a result, his room is always in order and his Sextaners in good standing in their classes. He is interested in music, and takes piano lessons. Jack does not take part in many athletic games, but passes them up as below his dignity. He has appear- ed a number of times in basket ball uniform, however, when the honor of the class was at stake. His hobby is to play pranks on the Prof. Kids. We know that Jack will make good in the minis- try and hope that we will have the privilege of hearing him often. HENRY EGABRIEL, NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA. Born July 11, 1897, New Orleans, Louisiana.

In the fall of 1915 the Class of '18 received a valuable addition in the person of H. E. Gabriel of New Orleans. Although Gabriel has a seraphic name and an angelic character, he is nevertheless human in nature. Along with his personal property, Gabriel brought the nick- name Chick, which signifies that he is a bird, and a bird of small proportions physically, indeed, but men- tally he gives promise of soaring high. Chick does not take an active part in athletics, but he is often seen in the gym or on the diamond en- couraging the players. During a game, Chick is one of the most ardent rooters. Gabriel makes friends wher- ever he goes by his smiles and his wit, as is shown by his large correspondence. Chick is well read. He says his hobby is building air castles. During the summer months Henry takes life easy, and recuperates from the strenuous work of the scholastic year. Good temper is like a sunny day-it' sheds its brightness everywhere. -Szdney. 27 ulndustrious wzsdorn often doth prevent what lazy folly thznks mevttable Massznger testo 1'-- --'f- - -'1' HENRY F.

He received his cognomen on the base ball field. He was found on the grounds every day, shagging passed balls, or foul-tips. Naturally he was called Shag.

When speaking of sports, don't forget our kind. friend Clemens. By a sport, however, we do not wish to infer anything bad, but simply a very nice young man with good manners and lots of horse sense. Clem is little known outside of the dormitory, be- cause he is such a busy mang he is usually found in his room oxing Greek or Hebrew. Clem's hobby is breaking windows. Diligent application to elocution has made him a speaker of no small renown. In the athletic world, he has always been ready to push the pill over the plate and has often brought S. J. C. victoriously from the battlefield of sport. His principles are high and his motto is: Entweder ganz, oder garnichtf' He was instrumental in bringing about the Students' Council by which we now enjoy the free- dom of a true democratic rule.

Examining his physique, you would pronounce his stature that of an athlete In every detail. The well developed chest and brawny limbs greatly Influence his adaptability to that branch of athletic endeavors which he pursues. HIS hair, combed back In a pompa- dour, and the symmetric expression of.hIs physiognomy, which is usually adorned wIth a smile, gives him the appearance of a true American youth. During the last year he was appointed to take care of the sick among the dormitory students, and in this position he has proved himself very competent. In the classroom he is ever on the alert. He endeavors to be conscientious in preparing the assigned studies. As a congenial companion, he has won many friends during his stay at St. .lohn's.

When the students voted to buy Liberty Loan Bonds, Eunice was chosen a member of the committee. She also showed herself very competent in supervising the making of the service flag.

Miss Edna Schlicht is a representation of a modest and blushing maiden of the prairies with a smile as bright as the sunshine. Her manner is good natured and jolly, and she has a pleasant word for everybody and is always willing and glad to do something for some one else. She is a popular co-ed and fosters a live interest for all student activities, taking part in the work of the Pollyanna Club and offering her assistance in the church choir. By her conduct, she has rested in a favorable light with her fellow co-eds. In the single year that she has spent here, she has won the good will of her teachers.

' 5 l ' cndin studentls dailv routine consisted in eating, slcepmg, tfllsmg Viclcfltlfmf mf bl? g an occasional- moment in study, came to the sad realization ol their error. 'The meals could hardly be compared with those ol mother, and in addition to tl1C.l2lltl1- ful, strenuous studying that was necessary to keep up with the classwork, it was their privilege to sweep the room and empty the overflowing waste baskets. But as the years went by, the members of the Class gradually assumed a more dignified position. Although the Class of '19 is the smallest at the institution, it has lelt deep imprints on the records of St. John's. Her memlzers have played a very prominent role in athletic activities since their Freshman year, when the Class liurnishcd liour regulars for the Varsity Nine, and two men for the Basket Ball Team-quite an accomplishment for Freshmen. While the Class is above the average in athletics, it is by no means inferior in the classroom. Mathematics seems to be their favorite study, as they have passed the records of former classes. A Junior may occasionally give such a peculiar transla- tion of a Greek or Latin sentence that Cicero or Xenophon would even turn in their graves, if they could hear the agonizing liasco. -ln spite ol this, however, they have translated more ofthe classics than most former classes. All Juniors are active in literary work. For the last two years both societies have had a member ol' the Class on their debating teams. Probably no other class at St. John's was ever so thoroughly shaken up and changed, from year to year, as the Junior Class. Only four ol' the original sixteen have remained with the Class which now numbers eight boys and one girl. Two of her former members have followed the call of the bugle, and are now numbered with our soldier boys. The Class is known for its spirit ol' fellowship, and all matters taken up in class meetings are executed with the hearty cooperation of every mem- ber. This class spirit however ield l'l f l 1 , Y S F6361 5 to t ie more dominating college spirit.

His combi- nation of humor, neat dress, and handsome physiog- nomy make him a very welcome, and worthy member of the class. To look at Charlie you would think him a happy- go-lucky fellow that cares nothing for school and studies. But under his black pompadour is hidden a brain that is made of sterner stuff. He, like all bright students that come for knowledge, makes good use of his spare moments. His great hobby IS to smoke cigars and write productions. He is 'very talkative, and is ovier-joyed to .voice his opinion in any argument that arises. For h1s.sake it became necessary to have not only a fixed minimum but also- a maximum for the number of words for class productions. If he continues his good work, he can look forward to a bright future. The knowledge of words is the gate of scholarship. -Wilson. HENRY G. HARTNER, CLAY CENTER, KANSAS.

From his small, number twelve shoes, to his squarely Shaped head, he is every inch a man who can give -an account of himself in every way. In athletics and In classes he is generally' the high man, when you look for the final score. ln height Possum holds the class record. Hebrew is Little Henry's favorite amusement, and especially, when he finds an opportunity to wrestle with an unusual form is Hank a happy kid. Possum says his motto is Do what you do. If he keeps that motto well to the front and continues to grow mentally and physically, there is no doubt that he will be one of the new race called the superman.

Smily hails from the sunny state of Oregon, Where the ocean breezes l1ave made him a good-natured and unassuming philosophical optimist, who cares very little for the present, and does not Worry about the future. Probably this accounts for the fact that he is so popular among all tl1e students of the College. Smily has literary talents wl1icl1 place him in a good light in his society.

Herbert Springhorn, generally known as Spring,' hails from the Great West, and if you had been here when he arrived, you undoubtedly would have felt the breeze that comes with every spring. It didn't take Spring long to cast off his primitive customs. He has made good progress in his classes and thereby he has won the favorof the professors. His greatest ability is making friends. This needs no fur- ther proof than a look at his physiognomy and a glance at his record. Though he does not generally take an active part in athletics, he delights in the game of tennis. He is always ready with something to say, and his penetrating voice is heard everywhere. This is one reason, perhaps, why he has acted so ably as assistant cheer leader for the past two years. True happiness renders man--kind and sensible, and that happiness rs always shared wzth others. -j Mantesquzeu. KATHLEEN STOUTIMORE, WINFIELD, KANSAS. Born August 28, 1902, Winfield, Kansas.

Admiringly we have of ten wondered about that jovial and contented expression adorning Miss Kathleen Stou.timore's visage. ls it because she has ascendedthe ladder of wisdom higher than her fellow co-eds, or IS It due to the fact that one of the class artists pictured her as the fairest flower blooming in the .lunior garden? Be that as it may, joy and contentment apparently are there as fixtures. Kathleen's musical talent has been a source of joy and delight to many. Her marked industrious efforts have gained for her a cozy place in the hearts of her teachers, and her never-failing stick-to-it-ive-ness scores greatly in the admiration of her classmates.

Emerging from the original society of long standing, the Chrysostomos, the initial efforts of the Demosthenian Society were saved many disappointments, and the seed of literary endeavors Which had been sown in the old organization, now budded' in short time, winning for the Demons respect and admiration in literary achieve- ments. Although her practicability lies in her industrious membership, her philosophy is carefully expounded in her motto: Non est vivere, sed valere vitaf' Not merely to live, but to qualify, is the keynote of her brilliant career, a percept that has goaded her aspirants through the toils of preparation, and crowned them in the hour o victory. . ln her Weekly programs, she has maintained a high standard of literary Iworlc. ln the lnter- Society Contests she has Won equal honor with her friendly competitors, Winning three debates and rivaling very closely in declamation and oratory, which haslentitled her, after three years of Work, to the silver loving cup presented by the Faculty., ln her victories she' has tried to show her- self a good Winner, and in her defeats has shown herself a good loser, realizing that the real value of literary culture docs not lie in trophies but in personal efforts. 59 X r 11 2 5 Elf M .nlu I ' A D ,lil-1 Top RO1U1lV'lUELLEli, Kfxusriixsux, lar Zi-., Nlifr rin, lliri nr st ri.

Being yet in its infant stage of development, We can- not expect a brilliant record of accomplishments, nor the eH5ciency that marks our major societies. Every organization's early days of existence are replete with difhculties and adversities. They must all pass through this trying furnace before their true metal appears in its refined and true state. The Business Literary Society is as yet in the throes of this action. 1 The purpose and aim of this society is important. The quintessence of an ideal business man is the faculty of taking a broad and comprehensive view of his affairs and surroundings. His success in business depends not alone upon a perfect mastering of bookkeeping, typewriting, shorthand, etc., but a ready command of the language, quick Wit, deliberate and calm thought, a keen perception of the situation, and a clever manipulation of any argument that may arise, are likewise essential to commercial prosperity. The realization of this fact prompted our Wide-awake, ambitious young men of the Business Department to organize themselves into a literary society. It provided them With sufhcient determination and Will-power to brave every discouragementg and We hope that they Will never eliminate this important factor in the promotion of business efficiency from their course of College activities. 61 A PP o 4. hggvarni 11'-, --- 1ih- - b-A- b- --1 --- hu..-. -.,.-,-4 -if ,f ' t f .,m,, X, , La, .1' xy-, xy. . x I ' - u .Te 5: f 'ay ' 62 vu nun 3 x : Runmc I' 4 QS :Qi .52 Sf Xl, E x..

The contest was a brilliant display of 0fd'C0l'lCd dm declaiming talent. ' ln the Oratorical Contest, the Chrysostomos socie y x I t yas well represented by two able and experienced men, Edwin Rossow and Carl Riehmillifli and the Dvmvz thenians placed their conhdence in the oratorical ability ol Gustave Kuhlmann an Orville Rader. The oration entitled The lndepcndence ofthe Philippines given by Mr. Rossow, representing Chrysostomos, received first place. ln this production, Mr. Rossow showed his ability as a deep thinker, and his concise development of the subject into a striking oration is to be envied by many orators of reputation, while his beautiful style of delivery won for him not merely first place in the contest, but also lasting honors from his many friends. Mr. Kuhlmann for the Demosthenian, won second honors of the contest with his oration, Our Flagf' With his great versatility of thought and charm of voice, this youth wove around Old Glory a beautiful discourse of American sentiment, winning for himself high honors, and adding new glory to Old Gloryl' with his patriotic sincerity. The Declamatory Contest clearly showed that the art of expression is to suit the action to the word, and the emotion to the thought. That the school of expres- sion has cultivated this to a high degree at St. .lohn's was shown in this contest. The four declaimers representing the two societies were, l-lerman Klein and Adolf Meyer, for the Demosthenian, and Winfield Wickham and Louis Boriack, for Chrysostomos. For His Mother's Sake, the selection given by lN'lr. Klein, was given first place. This selection is a piece of work heavy enough for the professional reader, and we can say that the way it was given by Mr. Klein was a crowning proof of Zggorgpletejomfbination of inherent talent and thorough preparation.

The last year's talent developed through another year's experience, and with several new men of excellent ability, the rivalry between the Chrysostomos and Demosthenian organizations was at its highest. - 1 N Chrysostomos, with Edwin Rossow and Henry Gerecke as its representatives, cherished the fond hopes of plucking the oratorical honors from their opponents, and wrestmg the silver cup from the Demosthenian pedestal. However, with Ernest Scaer and Gustave Kuhlmann as pilots, the Demons were confident of high honors. T ' Mr. Rossow, the polished orator from Michigan, again demonstrated his ability as a thinker and speaker in his masterful oration, The Nation That Never Re- treats, and carried the laurels home for Chrysostomos for first place. The Nation That Never Retreats was a hne exposition of ideas, clothed in perfect language, and expressed with charming eloquence, bringing forth the ideals of American Democracy. U Ernest Scaer, in his philosophical oration, The Dawn of a New Patriotism, won second honors in the contest. Although, acknowledging that our democracy was easily the highest type of government yet developed, the boy orator skillfully pictured a higher patriotism than yet experienced, which finds its existence in Inter-nationalism. Mr. Kuhlrnann gave a fine oration entitled the Angel of Mercy, and Henry Cereckedid justice to the art of oratory with a beautiful eulogy on our great president, Woodrow Wilson. The favorite in the Declamatory Contest was Lawrence Summers, representing Chrysostomos, who showed his ability as a declaimer in reading The Boy Orator of Zepata City. Mr. Summers' beautiful voice and his depth of expression, to- gether with his ease, enabled him to take his audience with him to the court scene in Zepata City, where Abe Barrow, a hardened criminal won the sympathy of the court with his penitent tears and gained for himself a new opportunity in life. K Alfred Thomas, a new representative of the Demosthenian, won a close second with the reading entitled Laddie. Mr. Thomas showed remarkable ability for a young reader, and his expression was forceful and appealing throughout. Henry Hartner also scored for the Demosthenian, reading a selection from Quo Vadis,'and Ernest Mappes showed good talent and conscientious training in his rendition of Conner. The outcome of the contest gave the Chrysostomos twenty-one points, and the Demosthenian scored eighteen, which made it possible for either society to win in the debating contest. 65 .1 'Ttfhegminfii -H lliateir-Society elhate-9 1917 nusual amount of HE Inter-Society Debate is an annual event, causing an u .

This was not only because o is o ularity of the question for discussion' but also, and mainly, because Cac P P ' -' society boasted of a team such as never before had represented it on the held of argumentation. , , April 16th, the day of the contest finally arrived, and promptly at eight o clock, before an audience such as our chapel seldom sees, Chrysostomos marched Henry Otten, Carl Blasig, and Paul Stoehr on the stage to uphold the aflirmative of the question, RESOLVED: That an international court with power to enforce its deci- sions, should be established to settle disputes between nations, while the Demos- thenians sent in Henry Hartner, Paul Scaer, and Virtus Gloe, with strict instruc- tions to defend the negative. After the chairman had called the house to order and introduced the question, he called upon the first speaker of the affirmative to open the debate. Henry Otten came forth, and after explaining the question and giving a brief outline to be fol- lowed by his team, he launched forth numerous arguments with vivid illustrations to prove the inefficiency of the old system of settling disputes between nations, however, Hartner retaliated for the negative by arguing that this court could not be established under existing conditions. He showed that nations, divided by his- toric antagonisms and prejudices, could not unite under the rule of this court. Then Carl Blasig took the stand for the afhrmative, and showed the practieability of the proposed court by referring to the fact that it would be composed of the wisest men of all nations. However, Paul Scaer argued the exact opposite and showed the impracticability of the court, if established, he also proved that this court would not be flexible enough to meet the demands of the smaller and weaker nations. Paul Stoehr then concluded the afHrmative's arguments by showing that this court would eliminate war and thus make the world a better place to live ing also that nations would not fly at each others' throats for supposed grievances, but would Hrst submit them to this court. Virtus Gloe, the last speaker ofthe negative, then Was giV9H the HOOI. He proved that the proposed court was not just in prin- ciple, and did not strike the fundamental root of the issue, since its success depended on the employment of the instrument of war itself, namely coercion HEWIUS 'fl1US ClISposed of their constructive arguments, each speaker was given five milnutesbfior rebtglttal, andhafter having rebutted their opponents' arguments rom a visi e stan points t e teams finall l ' ' ' ' ' , s 1 C C y cesisted and 4 -C A 1- - of the d h h , rwfuted the decision u es W 1 l g ' C ' when It was bmugllt, announced the negative victorious, and gave Chrysostornos 12 points, while the Demosthenian received 18. llllll llllllillililllllllllllllll 66 YM Q- L---W ----,.--,- -,.,.,,- 1 A M5112 gttinlii llinteir- cie y e ate., E 13 GAIN in the .spring of 1918, as in former years, Chrysostomos and Demos- . ' thenran met in debate. The evening of the eighth of April found both teams in the College Chapel eagerly awaiting the contest. The Demosthenian banner on the left side, waved challengingly over Walter Vetter, Clarence Heim, and Virtus Gloe, who upheld the affirmative of the question, RESOLVED: That the Government should retain control of the railroads after the war, while on the right side the Chrysostomos ensign floated dehantly over Herbert Springhorn, Carl Blasig, and Henry Qtten, the valiant negative team. After the customary introductory remarks by the chairman, Walter Vetter started the fireworks for the afhrmative. He immediately showed us that govern- ment control would eliminate the labor question, which has for a long time been la stumbling block to railway management, then he attacked the squanderous system of competitive advertising and sharply censured it. However, Springhorn bega to advocate the negative of the question by referring to the success of the private system of management. He then led us to cold Canada, sunny France, and remote Australia, to show us that these countries had failed in government control and that we had better profit by their example. Heim then advocated government control by pathetically describing the starving condition of many of our large cities last winter because of inefhciency of private management of the railroads. He showed in detail thatgovernment control would give us better service by ren- dering service where it was most needed. i Blasig then launched a mighty effort to show that government control was impracticable because it threw all the responsibility on the shoulders of one man, instead of allowing the management to be conducted by experts. He also showed that government control was not to be desired from a Hnancial standpoint. How- ever, Gloe then showed that the old system of private management was not flexible enough to meet the demands of the time, a fault which was not found with govern- ment control. He also proved that government supervision would mean a perfec- tion of a higher degree of cooperation. Otten then ended the constructive speaking by assailing government control because it eliminated competition, which had been very successful in the past. He showed that government supervision could succeed only in despotic monarchies. ' After this five minutes were given each speaker for rebuttal, and some keen refutations were given, in which the affirmative seemed to have the better of their opponents, which fact was also shown by the decision of the judges, who decided in favor of the affirmative, giving the Demosthenians 19 points, while Chrysostomos claimed 11. 57 A tr 44 Tllhz gvainl EDWIN ROSSOW 1 First Place, Orutoriczll Contest, 1917-'13 1 1, 1 GUSTAVE KUHLMANN V Second Place, Oratorical Contest , 1 l2RNllS'l' SCAUR 1917 SCCOl1Cl Place, Orxltoriczll Contest, 1013 l.1 Iv 1 , 1 1 el I :N . if 1 68 - lllllllllllllll .ix M2 E 'L M-6112581111144 - HERNIAN KLEIN first Place, Dcclzunatory Contest, 1917 Anon MEYER ' Second Place, Declumatory Contest, 1917 LAWRENCE SUMMERS First Place, Declamatory Contest, 1918 ALFRED THOMAS Second Place, Declamatory Contest, 1918 N- 44 ff he 5513111 cemcwsitlhlcemiam DEBATING TEAM, 1917 GLOE, IIARTNER, SCAER eemcuasthemiam DEBATING TEAM, 1918 GI-OE, VETTEli, llxzm. 76 ' 3 N N- El11e5ainiM -- KUHLMANN, B1-As1G, GLOE, OTTEN, MEYER. The eporteirsi Qlub EVEN years have passed, since the Reporters' Club has sprung into existence. The primary reason for the forming of this Club was our college magazine, the ALMA MATER. News of our college life was to be sent monthly to this periodical, and as a suitable person was sometimes hard tolfind, the happy idea of forming a Reporters' Club was conceived and very successfully carried out. However, the sphere of the Club's activities is by no means limited to reporting for the ALMA MATER. Our local papers, THE COURIER and the EVENING FREE PRESS, receive frequent contributions, also the ARKANSAS and SOUTHERN LUTH- ERAN are regularly supplied with news. ln fact, almost all college news are made public through this organization. ' The 'members of this Club work without any material remuneration whatso- ever, however, as the membership is limited to five persons, the members of the Club feel 'sufficiently recompensed by the honor which their position affords. Ata recentHhooverizednluncheon the newly elected Reporters' Club was ushered into oflice. The members of the Club for 1918-'19 are: President, C. Blasig,Vice Pres- ident, H. Springhorng Business Manager, H. Hartnerg Reporters, W. Vetter and E. Rossow. The ex-Reporters' Club wishes them a very successful newsy year. i 71 Tlhe gminl 72 T 'Ellie Sainiii The htn entef Mission Zoeiety NEW society. has made its appearance under the name of The St. .lohn's 4 Students Mission Society. For several years the students, especially those of the ministerial department, have keenly felt the want of a society of this kind. Many were interested in becoming better acquainted with our missionaries and in getting a deeper insightinto the difficulties, hardships, and results of missionary work. So, with this view in mind, a number of students began to agitate the found- ing of a.Students' Mission Society. Consequently, following the decision of a students' mass meeting, a committee was appointed to draw up a constitution. This constitution was in due form ac- cepted, and on the tenth of February, 1918, the hrst meeting of the Students' Mission Society took place in the College Chapel. The first officers were: President, Ernest Mappes, Vice President, Otto Meierdierksg Secretary, Miss Margaret Scaer. At its first meeting a very interesting program was given, and those who attended came away highly enthusiastic for the future. 4 Although ministerial students are especially interested in this work, there are many business students and co-eds who also desire information along these lines, and therefore any student of St. .lohn's College was made eligible to membership. The programs given by this society are open also to the public. All programs deal with mission activities and are changed in character from time to time, so as to thoroughly cover, interestingly and instructively, as wide a field as possible. Programs given by the student members are very beneficial to the performers as well as to the audience, for it is very benehcial for a member to read up exten- sively on a subject, as it implants the matter well in his mind. Other programs are filled by outside speakers in the form of mission lecturers. Also illustrated lectures of our mission work are arranged for under the auspices of this society. The work of this society has been highly successful. Interest hitherto not manifested begins to show itself in our church activities. Church periodicals and mission papers, hitherto untouched by many, have come into their rightful, sphere. Sunday evenings hitherto unoccupied are now very interestingly and usefully filled. Let us hope that this new society may not fall like a new fad that soon wears itself out, no, may it grow so as to become a truly useful and instructive society wherein the students are informed as to the activities of our missionaries inthe Held, and wherein they may find a worthy inspiration for their life's future calling. v.,, -T Q until l . ffto.

The llpollllyammia Club y E are. proud of the fact that St. .lohn's is a co-educational college. We realize that in this age the young ladies as well as the young men should be given the advantage of a good education. For these advantages quite a number of young ladies have entered St. .lohn's. I lt is natural that these young ladies have formed a club of their own. This is the Pollyanna Club. lt is not strictly a college organization, however, the majority of its members are students, teachers, or in some other way closely aflili- ated with St. .lohn's. lts founder and matron is Mrs. A. E. Baden, wife of the sainted J. P. Baden, who was the founder of our beloved Alma Mater. The main object of this club is charity, the social part being secondary. They have, to the great comfort of the students, htted out the college sick-room with some of the necessities. They sew for the local orphanage and like institutions elsewhere situated. The Club has also been doing its bit for their country. Its members have at various times helped at the local Red Cross Chapter, andjbesides have in many other ways helped along in the common cause. We are proud tofmake mention in this publication of a club that is doing so much good. -h.M.,M,,,M,,lTf'fj2f. .1 ' U ' 75 l 7 6 ' A 'c...45...4..'.'3:a..s.4azp..a4a.a. he swf e llioto Cllwllllv .3 EALIZING thqt the taking of pictures is educational, a pleasant pastime, and that it helPS to retain the fond memories of lJY'g0ne days, the Students Several vears ago organized the St. Joh'n'S Pl1OtO Clllb- ITS PUVPOSZC is to lncrfascltlr 'Utes' U .

It is an organiza- tion of long standing and has done some very creditable work. Previously there were two organizations to care for the singing instruction ol time students, the Zomar and the Sight Reading Class for the younger students. Now, however, the two have been merged into one group, apparently without anv material loss to' the efbciency of instruction. The attendance of this club is obligatory to all students of the ministerial department, while those of the commercial department are also eagerly welcomed. Mr. Robert Steiner has had charge of the Zomar Club l or a number of vears, and under his direction the students have made good progress. Since lN'lr.

However, since the erection ofthe gym, the interest has gradually shifted to basket ball. The colleges of this country are apparently discontinuing base ball, and St.i.lohn's, though loath to break away from the national game, mav sometime follow their ex- ample. She has been very successful in base ball, however, as a glance at her record of last year will readily show.' St. John's opened the season by playing Baker University on our own diamond. Baker had one of the strongest college teams in the state, especially strong in the pitching department. Our boys played a loose game, and the Bakerites easily defeated us by the score of eight to one. Since it was ourfirst game and against a strong team, however we did not lose heart because ofthe defeat.. After this game, the team worked still harder, because they realized that hard work is essential to every ball team. The r It f l g esu o t iese practices was demonstrated in the next ame. Southwestern was our next opponent. A friendly rivalry has always existed between these two colleges, and perhaps this was felt more keenly than ever before, because hir.

We played the .next game with the Kansas City Red Sox, who were amateur champions of the state. Many lriends predicted a defeat for usg but they were agreeably surprised when our team defeated them to the tune of hve to three. This was the first game the Sox had lost for some time, and the victory was an honor to our team. Soon thereafter the team journeyed to VVichita to play the fast Friends University nine. The game was played on a wet field, and the Quakers proved to be at home in the mud, while our boys were not, and they won by the score ofseven to hve. After this the Fairmount team, also of Wichita came here, the game being played at lVlcGregor Park. Our team wished to make good for their defeat and succeeded very well. VVe sent them home with a score of thirteen to nothing. Good hitting and good pitching won for us. . n . The last three games were played with our rival friends, Southwestern. Thus fa h won two frames and needed l i i ' ' r, we ad D on y one more to win the city championship. Although the lkiound- builders tried hard they were unable to keep us from L winning. We made a clean sweep of the city series and the scores of the games follow: Ten to threeg four to threeg and nine to one. ln these games the heavy hitting of our team was the winning factor. This closed the 1916-'17 season. We had won eight out of the ten gamesg and above all, we are the proud possessors ofthe silver trophy cup. This year the outlook is again bright.

I1T'Wt'.i'TIifl.CRfl' 5 St. John'sg for it was then that we became an associate mam Ju o. ul hansas Inter-Collegiate Athletic Conference. .We had been fortunate IH !LC'tf fflxt Wffffx' ices of Mr. Eugene Beck as our athletic coach, and with diligent practiftx yx Lwsoon fostered the hope of showing the leading colleges ol the state that St. .lo in s was no Smalhjhgliiriigfn to represent our school on the court were: Meierdierks and Schlott- hauer, guards, Hartner, center, and lflein and Summers, forwards. .The hrst test of the season was with the fast Indian Quintet ol Chilocco, Okla. -This was the hrst regular game to be played in our new gymg and with the splendid support of the student-body, we felt confident of making a good showing. The Indians led in the first half, however, when the final whistle blew the score was 52-51 in favor of S. J. C. Hartner starred, making 32 points. Thus we dedicated our new gymnasium. In the second game, we met our city friends of Southwestern College in the first of a series of three games for the city championship. ln our line-up Abel was substituted for Schlotthauer for the season. This game was also staged in our own gym and was fast throughout, both teams showing up very favorable in team work. The Orange and Black seemed to have the upper hand, however, and at the end of the forty minutes of play we were live points in the lead, the score being 30-25. To celebrate the victory, the students had a bon-fire on the college campus immediately after the game. Cooper College of Sterling, Kansas, was the next to meet our team on their own court. The St. .Iohn's basketeers were all in good form, and administered an easy defeat to the Cooper boys. Our fourth game was also played away from home. lt was staged at the Chi- locco Indian School in Oklahoma. All who know the nature of an Indian are aware of the Wonderful ability that he frequently develops as an athlete. Thev demon- strated the strength of their team by defeating us by a score of 45-28. i The basketeers of Friends University next came to Winfield, and we beat them by a triple score.. Then shortly after this followed the return game with Cooper College. The Saints carried on good team work, and bested their opponents by 30 points. bHofne again, the boys looked forward to the next game in our gym, which was to e p ayed with Bethel College of Newton. When the Bethel live walked into tlgiebeollkege gym that night, they looked so huskv that a little fear 'irose in the hearts U s K Q o ot players and students. Our team work, however, completely outclassed them! and 'Che ViC'COry fell to our lot .by a lead of 30 points, the score being 45-15.

Season 11917-933 HE basket ball team this season suffered a heavy loss through the graduation of Klein and the enlistment of Abel and Schlotthauer. However, Mappes more than ably filled Klein's position at forward, and E. Schmidt held the defense where Abel had worked before. Another great loss to us was the absence of our coach Mr. Eugene Beck, who was called to the front as First Lieutenant. Buff Meierdlerks was left with us to guide the St. J.ohn's basket ball team through a successful season. This he very ably did, which will be shown by the following report on the games played. As in the last season, we again arranged for a series of three games with our city friends, Southwestern, and again Mr. Baden offered the winner of the series a silver loving cup. All three games were staged on neutral courts. January 14, both teams, backed by enthusiastic rooters from both schools, assembled in the W. I-I. S. Gym, where the teams met in a battle royal. In the first half S. C. led by a score of 10-16. St. John's, however, determined to outdo them, returned strong in the second half and tied the score making it 27-27. Five minutes extra play were called, and with five St. John's men pushing the ball toward their goal, and with 150 students en- couraging them on the side lines, I-lartner, who had tied the score a few minutes before, dropped in a field goal in the last minute of play which made S. J. C. the winner ofthe first game. . i As in former years, we had two games scheduled with the Chilocco Indians this season. In the latter part of January we went to Oklahoma and had a .real battle with the Red Skins. When the first half was played the sons of the prairie' had the long end of the score, when the second half began, the bearers of the Orange and Black began to shoot more accurately, and in theufinal part of the game, we merged ahead, and succeeded in finishing with two points in the lead. .This WaS the first time we have ever beaten the Indians on their home court, and it was the third time that they have been beaten at home for eight years. I I As a return game, to the Friends University game which we played In Wlnfield :Nast year, we went to Wichita and succeeded in easily taking the game, the score .eing 50-16. . . Next was Midland College of Atchison. That College is under the auspiceg of the General Lutheran Synod, and we were anxious to send them home defeate -and we did-40-14. . h Our second trip to Wichita was to play Fairmount College, and HS F CY Wg? unable to stop our team work the game ended with S.J.C. 47 points and Fairngout I . The Indians came to Winfield determined to scalp S. J. C. and carrycg t e sca p across the line into Oklahoma.

Through these en- deavors class societv teams were organized. ln basket ball, we saw some very 7 V Af few U unes had been played, the Sophs fine games between the class teams. ter a 1 ' ,L Y and Freshies showed themselves to be the strongest on the court. ln the 'final game which followed between these two class teams, the Freshies, not afraid of their somewhat heavier and stronger opponents, started with a rush, and succeeded in scoring in the Hrst few minutes of play. The Sophs lought bravellyg but were unable to cage the -ball sufhciently to run up the score on the rallying Freshies. The game ended with the arrow pointing to the lower elassmen goal. . The major societies also cope for honors in the athletic world eaehsueeeedmg vear. On the basket ball court, the Chrysostomos society proved herself much the stronger during the 1917-'18 season, while in the year preceding the Demosthen- ian claimed the honors. The spirit of rivalry is also drawn into the football world. While football is not regularly played here at St. .lohn's, it nevertheless forms quite an interesting sport for the members of these two societies. ln 1916, the Demons claimed two out of three matched games. However, in the past season the Chry- sostomoin completely outshadowed them by winning two straight victories. Track N the year 1914, when track work first became a regular sport at St. .lohn's, f we, perhaps, were in doubt whether or not it would create enough interest among the students, and if it would produce the results for which it was intended. lf we, however, take a glance over the work done in the past and notice the records of following. years, we cannot help but see advancement and verx' good results in that particular sport. ' AS S0011 HS the beautiful, warm, spring days permit the playing of out-door games as base ball and tennis, the trackman is also out preparing the lield for his future daily practice.

The Alumni Assoeii tioa Wfhen the Alumni Association was organized its mem a . 7 ' bers had but one purpose in view tl n . . ', ie welfare of their Alma Mater. Realizing and seeing the great ben f' , , , . n n e Its which they had derived during their stay in its spacious halls, the choice of this praiseworthv task is but nrtural U . .2 . .nder the care of the worthy Faculty was that period of their lives in Which these impressions, which were to form and govern their whole future, were received and stored i g '. u away. Those ideas and that viewpoint of life which would determine their whole future career were implanted in their receptive minds during this period. And they now realize with what zeal and patience the professors labored to see that these impressions and ideas were of the right kind. Again, they were continually under Christian care and influence andare now rea in th b f r p g e eneits which resulted therefrom. But above all, they were taught the simple but gracious way to salvation, alone through Him and His work completed on Calvary's Hill. Noble, indeed, is the task ofsuch an institution which looks not onlv toward the intellectual advancement and bodilv develop- t i.. men o its students, but above all toward their spiritual welfare. ln appreciation of these benefits, this organization gladly helps in the procuring of more students and advanc- ing the interests of the institution in whatever manner they can. Although this association had a very small beginning, its growth has been quite rapid and its membership at the pres- ent time reaches nearly two hundred. Among this number We find men, who through the help of Cod, have had their labor crowned with success and are now in charge oflarge, flourish- ing congregations, men who are using their efforts to bring the sweet message of Salvation to heathen .landsg agam, men who have become prominent in the professional and bus- iness worldg in fact, their number is represented in every department of life. And when the clouds of war burst over our land, and the government called for men to uphold liberty and ClCmOCI'E1CY, they were readvg and this accounts for the fact, that DWEUIY are now in the service of their country. The college IS JUSJCIY proud of such Alumni, and only wishes thatxthey could all come from the four winds in this, its twenty-filth 3I1I1IVCfSfUfY and renew acquaintanees, exchange revm1nisccnCCS, and again pledge themselves to the support ol their dear old Alma Mater.

V ln the High School Yell, North, South, East, West, Winfield High School is the Best, is embodied a truth, for Winfield has one of the most flourishing High Schools in the State. The large High School building was erected in 1908, and again IH 1916 a large 560,000 Manual Training Building, furnished with modern equipment and containing a large gymnasium on the second floor with a seating capacity for 1200 people, was necessary on account of the increased enrollment. Twenty-four teachers are engaged to care for the Hve hundred and Hfty-nine students. - , Two colleges take care of the higher education of WinHeld's citizens, South- western and St. .lohn's. Southwestern College, situated in the northeastern part of town, is the goal for which many High School students in Kansas are striving. This college is an institution of the Methodist church and is widely known through- out the State. Her equipment consists in Richardson Hall, the Old Hall, and a gymnasium. Her finances are on a Hrm basis, as she has an endowment fund of 3,500,000 She has a teaching force of twenty instructors, and anlenrollment of nearly three hundred students. She offers very good courses in the liberal and fine arts, and her degrees are recognized by the universities of the country, she being a member of the North Central Association of Colleges. n The educational opportunities of any town would. not be complete without the opportunity to study the different branches of music. Winheld is indeed for- tunate in having the Winheld College of Music, which has a faculty 'of seven accomp- lished and experienced teachers inithe various branches of music. This College has an enrollment of about 325 pupi s. . . , , ' A well equipped Carnegie Library is also found in Winfield. This library, which was opened in 1912, is conducted according to the open shelf system, and has 7,300 volumes and 83 papers and periodicals.

Two large wholesale nurseries are located in Winfield doing a large business over a wide territory, two monument works doing an annual business of 365,000g three flour mills whose output IS over 1500 barrels daily, an ice plant with a capacity of over 16,000 tons, a wholesale bottling works, a wholesale Creamery and ice cream plant' two large produce companies with an annual business of over 31,250,000 and a pay: roll of 355,000g five department stores, two daily and one weekly newspapersga a furniture factory, a galvanized tank factory. The city has two modern hotels. The large Brettun Hotel has recently under- gone a complete remodeling and is now provided with the newest of modern equip- ment. The Lagonda Hotel, a four-story, Hreproof structure, was erected at the cost of 380,000 and represents the latest word in hotel architecture. Five railroads, representing three different lines, run from the city in nine different directions, with 26 passenger and 22 freight trains daily. An interurban line, fifteen miles in length, connects Winfield with Arkansas City, and an electric car line operates in the city. Winheld will soon be connected with Wichita by interurban. Winheld has a large number of brick paved streets. A rock road runs .across the country north and south, and the Oil Belt.Route east and west, forming an excellent system of roads leading through the city. . ' Winfield is situated in the center of a rich oil field section. Several well known companies have large holdings in Cowley County and have .several producing wells.

This water is pumped to the large reservoir from where it is distributed to the COI1SL1merS. The large gas field near Winheld assures the city an unlimited. gas Supply for many years to come. WinHeld's business district has a very beautiful electrically lighted White Way. . The electric plant is owned and operated by the city and provides a very sufficient supply of electric current. Wmheld is noted for its many beautiful, large shade trees, which beautify almost every street and residence. A great number of the streets are paved with brick and many others are macadamized. Winfield's residence section is hard to equal by any city of its size. The many fine residences and neat cottages are in- variably surrounded by well kept lawns. In the selection of a place to live, the question Who is to be my neighbor? necessarily plays an important part. Winfield is proud of its class of refined citizens. Its colleges, churches and schools attract a cultured class of citizens which would not be found in a factory town or railroad center. This fact is amply borne out by the liberal support given the many musical entertainments and our lecture courses. WinHeld's parks provide an excellent place of recreation for picnic and pleasure parties. I-liatt's Park is situated on the Walnut River and provides excellent boat- ing facilities. Island Park is surrounded by the Timber Creek whence it receives its name and contains the large tabernacle and the various 'other Chautauqua buildings. This is the home of the Winfield Chautauqua and IS also the scene of the Annual Merchants' Fall Festival. l ' 0 . Winfield prospers under its city government which is directed by the City Council and Mayor. Many important ordinances have been passed by this body to aid in the moral upbuilding of the city. At a special referendum, the citizens of Winfield prohibited the presence of pool halls in the city. 'By city ordinance no cigarettes or cigarette papers are allowed to be sold in the city, minors sie nos allowed to purchase tobacco in any form. No Carnivals or street fairs .are a OWE to be held in the city.
