Government 1 A f y I IF M - GRACE RAIT Teaching The Faculty Club THE extension service of the Teachers College for the betterment of rural edu- cation has aroused a keen interest in the study of rural conditions in Iowa. President Seerley opened up a wide field of usefulness for the College when he instituted the study-center movement and opened rural demonstration schools. Never before has the Teachers .College been of such great and immediate benefit to the people of Iowa as in this recent extension of the privileges of the great State school to the rural communities. Faculty members arc coming into direct contact with rural teachers and with rural schools through demonstration schools, study centers, and county institute work. This close contact with rural communities gives knowledge of the needs of rural people in Iowa that is of great advantage to the Teachers College in the service it renders to the State. The greater interest awakened by this movement led to the organization of the Faculty Club, composed of all members of the faculty and organ- ized for the purpose of studying in detail educational problems. During the fall term Professor C. A. Fullerton and others stated their wishes, in the form of a written pe- tition, for the formation of a faculty club to investigate and present detailed studies in current topics of education. The club organized on October 12th and chose the following officers: President, Chas. H. Meyerholz; Vice-President, W. H. Davis; Secretary, Miss Mary F. Hearst; Executive Committee, Professors Stone, Condit, Hart, Aitchison. Hughes. Detailed and valuable reports have been presented on the following subjects: The Present Condition of Rural Schools.................President Seerley Organization and Work of Study Centers.................Professor Colcgrove Normal Softools in the Training of Rural Teachers . .

T., speaking of the prospective campanile: “Well, just you wait until we get our ‘cantelope’ and we will be just as swell as Ames.” Anna Crain says she enjoys fishing, for it is so easy to get Bate(s). Janet Towers, on the car: Conductor: “You are losing your soul (sole).” Janet: “Yes, 1 know it. I am on my way to get a new one.” Scene, a crowded platform, people boarding the train: Conductor: “Where to?” Miss Fulton, pointing to the car: “Right up here.” Gushing Senior: “I am indebted to you for all I know.” Teacher: “Don’t mention it. It is a mere trifle.” Lost—One lesson plan at Wise street. No reward because I didn’t get credit. —Helen Francis. Ann Johnson “shines” in the gym, Specially if the light is dim; She swings the clubs and swings the rings, But mercy me! When she sings. Her sister’s name is little Rosy, Her sister is a little posy.

Page 78 Alpha Society ALPHA, the first woman’s literary society to be organized at I. S. T. C., has had many years in which to achieve honors. In 1877, seven girls organized a society which met in a small room adjoining the old chapel. Carefully and thoughtfully did those girls build up a society which has lived through many changes, and through all has been dear to the hearts of its members. Wisely did they who saw the beginnings of Alpha choose the motto, “Guard well life’s beginnings.” From that time to the present, the wearers of the Alpha colors—Pink and White—have striven to realize that motto. Through that striving a spirit of loyalty and friendship has been fostered. Society meetings are no longer held in the old room. Alpha now has a home of which she may feel justly proud, for last fall a new carpet was placed on the floor, and since then the hall has been re-decorated and new curtains have been hung. To this hall were the new girls welcomed, and to them we intrusted the future of Alpha. We are confident that through them Alpha’s high standard will be maintained. Nor has Alpha failed in the few contests in which the societies may enter. Does not the basketball banner, won when inter-society basketball flourished, hang in Alpha hall? She has won honors in oratorical contests, being one of the societies to place a representative in the inter-state contest. Pluckily has she maintained her place, this year being the only woman’s society to enter a representative in the con- test. Marion Cooley, who represented Alpha, won fourth place. The literary meetings are designed to give exercise to originality and ability and to establish a certain standard of proficiency in English. Appearance upon the pro- grams the required number of times does much to banish the “fright” so often felt at facing even a small audience, and to give confidence and poise that are acquired only through repeatedly appearing upon programs. Pleasant as are the literary meetings, our pleasantest memories are of the social events. On September 4th the first meeting of the year was held. How gladly did the “old” members greet each other, and how warmly were the “friends of Alphas’ ” met. Social events would not be complete were not the Philos sometimes included, so on September 19th the Alphas and Philos held a joint informal party. On the afternoon of September 22nd the Alphas entertained their friends at afternoon tea at the home of Miss Hazel Morris. The hostesses had been transformed into Japan- ese maidens, who served tea in the Japanese style. On the evening of September 24th the Alphas formally entertained their friends at the home of Miss Henrietta Radell. The new Alphas were informally initiated in Alpha hall on Friday after- noon, October 2nd. This initiation was only an introduction to what was to follow at the Alpha-Philo joint initiation at the Odd Fellows’ Hall on October 17th. Per- haps it is with a shudder that the girls remember the “Chamber of Horrors,” the “mixture” which they were ordered to drink, and the “sloping table.” Again on Page 79 January 16th did the Alphas and Philos have a joint program which was hilariously received. On January 22nd the Alphas entertained the Philos, honorary and new Alphas at a formal reception in the gymnasium. Drawn together by a common aim, by common friendships and interests, the girls have held high the standards of Alpha. Loyally we sing— “Strong she stands, She’s the best in any land, In her praise we all unite. Where e’er you go. What e’er you do, Give a cheer for the Pink and White.” MISS MARION COOLEY Alpha Oratorical Representative Idiotorials THIS hear writin’ is agoin’ to be a idiotorial on that thair pitcher up higher— that is—mebbe—if the iditor can get his brain inginc cranked up to enuff D. M. C.—the same as wich got higher you-uns all know sence them Uripeans got to playin’ with Croop guns in Uripc. Thair, thair, Sal, steady, ol’ gal— now, the ingine’s goin’ fine! Wal, to precede with our tail, the Alfalfees air a Leet- erary Sosassity up at the Institoot where they larn the teachers’ cdjucashion and they’s all gals. But they got a brother Sosassity filerated with ’em (yep, that’s the word; anyway, it’s what thair Constitooshun says), so sometimes they have high ol’ times together. Them brothers of them air called Filos—the only cause I kin see is they must hev studied some of them thair Filopeno chiefs and got so excited they named themselves arter ’em—enyway one of them Filos is called Slooter and he tries to be an clectrocutioncr. He’s tuk the clcctrocutionin’ in a class alongside o’ sum other would-be hair razors an’ they sure kin make any audience wiggle thair ears. So when Slooter got to electrocutin’, our camery idiotor got busee and shot the effekt of it to his camery tfox. Jes’ look at ’em your seifs. Thair’s that Mis’ Jo Dodge lookin’ jes’ as coy as ef it wuz enother Filo doin’ the spell-bindin’ ’stead o’ Slooter (you get me?). An’ then thair’s Henrietty Radell watchin’ enother male man altogether; funny, ain’t it? Then, lamp that Dorothy Cady and Ditto Barnhouse bustin’ out laffin’ at Slooter. Now, of cose, D. Cady is kinder used to laffin’ at Slooter, but Ditto Barnhouse enjoys it jes as ef it wuz reely funny. Then Ruth Dubbert stan’s thair jes as ef she didn’t know whether Slooter was tryin’ to pray or to sing a soiow. Well, they told me to fill the page and, whoops, it is jes’ filled and my ingine is killed! Blump dead! I’age SI Adrian’s Too Busy “I want some collars for my brother,” said Wilma Garnett in a department store, “but I’m afraid I’ve forgotten the size.” “Thirteen and a half, ma’am?” suggested the clerk. “That's it. How on earth did you know ?” “Gentlemen who let their sisters buy their collars are usually that size.” And He Never Said a Word Henrietta R.: “I told Verne he could not see me any more.” Ruth D.: “And what did he do?” Henrietta: “Turned out the light.” A Living Death Our janitors, we pity them, As all good people must; For every morn’ the poor old men Again return to dust. The Eternal Why Why was the camera busted after the Alpha pictures were taken? Don’t Get Excited, Pinky ! “Do you know, my dear,” asked Pinky, gently, “there’s something wrong with the cake? It doesn’t taste right.” That’s all your imagination,” an- swered Wifey Ruth, triumphantly, “for it says in the cook-book that it is delicious.” Which ? He was seated in the parlor, And he said unto the lights “Either you or I, old fellow. Will be turned down tonight.” Registrar: “How old are you, ma- dam ?” Ancient Female: “I have seen nineteen summers, sir.” Registrar: “Er-um! How long have you been blind?” Jo Dodge: “In a battle of tongues, a woman can hold her own.” Lester Ary: “Yes, perhaps she can; but she never does.” Geo. Brown: “I thought you took H. E. I. last year.” Ruth Porter: “I did, but the fac- ulty encored me.” Tagc 82 A Jap Rushee Well, well, what have we here? No, indeed, she is not an .Oriental visitor. Let us introduce you to our President —the worthy maiden who oc- cupies one-half of the big chair (other half empty) ev- ery other Friday night. But Jo not only wields the gavel determinedly, for it is said she is not taking all the work in Home Economics merely to- manage a wooden gavel. Oh, no, there’s a reason. Patience On The Monument Yes, we’ll tell you all about it. “Patience,” or, in other words, “Dubb,” received that splendid cognomen thru her untiring efforts for Alpha dur- ing her presidency. The inspir- ation and pep which “Dubb” put into her work has surely left its strong influence on the other girls. Come on, every- one, let’s all give three lusty ones for “Patience.” A Jap Ru.skee.

But she knows how to do that very thing and more, too, for did she not make a lov- able “thief’ in the Mid-Winter play? Cupid sure has good taste. Somebody Else is Getting It You’re not used to seeing our artist performing such rash manuevers? But even she gets hilarious when the Annual work is over. And the girl who makes the posters, if the prophecy is true, is get- ting ready to do some pelting when the work is over. Shake and Alpha United Right this way, Ladies and Gentlemen! Now you are to behold one of the marvelous achievements of the year—a feat which was undreamed of, even by the most radical. Be- hold, friends! What? You cannot believe your own eyes? Just look at the title of the picture, “Shake and Alpha United.” Is it not so? Page 84 mmm Philo Society THE Philos look back upon their Society Calendar for the year 1914-15 with justified pride. By victories won and by progress gained the record of the Society this year has. without doubt, excelled that of all other years in the recent history of the Society. What are some of the things of which the Philos are justly proud? The victor)' in the Annual Triangular Inter-Society Debate; winning of the Sage Debating Trophy, which each year is presented to the literary society that places the largest number of men upon the inter- collegiate debating teams; the placing of the winners in both the an- nual oratorical contests, thus winning the Dr. Mead Oratory Trophy; placing the winners of the annual declamatory contest; the winners of the annual cross-country run; the winners of the local tennis tournament; winners of the Gold medal in the mid-winter’s home track and field meet; the captain of the track team; the captains of the foot-ball team. Four of the five men on the “Gym” team are Philos. The Philos have representatives upon both the College Eye Staff and the Old Gold Annual Staff. These, with the excellent record in literary work for which the Philos primarily strive, have given the Society a precedent which in the years following will demand the utmost efforts of the men to surpass. Especially fortunate are the Philos this year, for the strong bond of fellowship and the loyal co-operative spirit, which, throughout the year has drawn the men together in close union and has given definite direction to each society activity. With the victories won, and the strong fraternal spirit manifested, every man ardently desires and is striving to place the name, PHILO, in more emboldened letters than in all years before, below the name of each school activity.

Harriet Sage: “Oh, a married man for me!” Ques.: How does Ruth Monnett get such good grades? Ans.: Because she “Grubbs” and “Grubbs” and “Grubbs.” The girls at Chase’s think that Irene Fox and “D” Gray need a course in physi- ology. The topic of conversation was the sternum. “D”: “A sternum! Have I got one of them? What in the world is it?” Irene: “I never heard of the blamed thing!” Cora Teller’s highest ambition is to marry And(e) be happy. Nyna Faris, after Christmas vacation: “Isn’t it awful to come back here, after being home where every one loves you?” Winter Gymnastics One crisp January day, when all the walks were treacherous with glistening ice, Dora Robbins was seen picking her way daintily and very carefully to school. Sud- denly she plunged forward, then fell in a heap. “Did you slip?” asked an innocent passer-by. “Oh, no, my dear!” Miss Robbins answered. “I was just about to take the fall- out position, but suddenly decided to try the spring jump, and as a result I find myself in the frog position.” WANTED: Positions as instructors in falling down gracefully. Much exper- ience and diligent practice guarantees satisfaction. Apply to the Bisbee Sisters. Neo Question Box Does Mary ever “Sinn?” Does Cora always “Teller” “Sage” everything? Are you surprised that Lucy likes “Winter” best? Could you imagine Genevieve “Staudt?” “Mabee” you can. I can’t. Do the Neos ever “Hunt?” Sure! So far they have “Frieda,” “Wild,” “Fox,” and a “Brown” “Robbin.” Does Hazel ever raise “Kane?” Are “Jo” and “Bobby” brother Neos? Can Hallie “Ward” off the blues when the weather is “Gray?” Page 9S Training School Building 9 Wmmmm Eulalian Society Organized 1908 Emblem: Motto: Colors: Flowers: Mascot: Crescent and Feather. “The higher we rise the grander the view.'

Page 107 The Close of Day The western sky aglow with golden light Is telling to the earth that day is done. The monarch of the day his race has run. And sinks in majesty beyond the sight; In gorgeous colorings displays his might, Soon fades the red to palest pink and gray. Soft tints of lavender that will not stay, Shadows come creeping over all. ’Tis night. Some day the shades of earthly life will fall, And we shall hear the blessed Master call. Our souls will leave their tenements of clay, Arise victorious, exulting, free, Until the glories of the heav'nly day Replete in Christ our Savior we shall see. Page 109.

E. P. How dear to my heart is my first year at college, Where long, in my fancy, I've oft yearned to dwell; Ambition for knowledge has thus led me onward, And to I. S. T. C., I’m happy to tell; That dandy gymnasium, and science hall nigh it. And a nice, brand new “dorm there is going to be, But best of it all is the Irving Society, Where one makes his start with a noble decree, The Irving Society, that fine old society, the grandest society of I. S. T. C.l The name of this society alone is inspiring, The day that I joined it I’m sure I'll not rue, Its flower—a tulip, its mascot—a Dutch girl, Its characteristic—its motto- -“True Blue; And when I have told you a few of its members, I think you will surely be glad to agree That 'tis THE society of all the societies, And sit up and hail it with excitable glee; The Irving Society, that fine old society, the grandest society of .

Chicago is being startled with the latest dress craze, which decrees the proper skirt must clear the ground by twelve inches. Why be startled? Dorothea Bohling’s dresses clear the ground a little over two feet. To the five and ten we went, And a whole dime we spent. For what ?—A sparkler we did spy, Which for an Irving we did buy. Lula: “My, our society is a social one. We stay so long after we have gone.” Valma, Nellie and Margaret are quite enough for any Barns. Miss Bruce, showing a first grade a skeleton: “Now what do you think this is?” Pupil: “Oh, that is a man with the soft all off.” Does a diamond necessarily have to come from one person? Ask Emma. President (discussing an important issue): “Miss Capellen, what do you think about it?

Susie has a good income from her Tennants. Marie G: “I wonder what I left out of this pie that makes it taste so.” Her Father: “Not what you left out. What did you put in it?” Vesta Woodie is a gay little lassie, Ruth Beavers is slim and classy, Gladys Kinsey is at neat as wax, Jennie Lilja love of study lacks. Lula Morrison will not be getting one’s in teaching much longer, but will be assisting a young minister in his great work. Miss Dorey was the teacher of a kindergarten class. Upon returning home a little fellow was asked how he liked his teacher. He said: “O, mother, I’ve got the prettiest teacher; she has orange hair.” Frances Ryder was appointed to lead the next parliamentary drill. After society she was buzzing, “I won’t, I won’t, I tell you!” Sentimental Jessie: “When does a girl become an old maid?” Florence Classen, our charming hostess, will probably officiate at the white house during the coming administration. If Maude were not gentle she might have kicked. She thought she carried a peck of apples up to the hall to treat the new girls. When it was time to pass the apples she pulled the sack from behind the piano and offered the girl “potatoes.” Page 115 Oh! What a puzzle is woman. Colors: Rose and Gray.

Why Irene Simpson is so undecided about teaching next year? Why some one doesn’t learn the election speech? If Eunice and Loretia took a suit case when they went to Waverly? They tell me men are few here, But I don’t believe it’s true, For in the Zeta Hall I met A “Hay” man, “East” man, too.

Professor Stewart of the Physics Department of the University of Iowa, addressed over a hundred students at the club’s initial meeting of 1915. His topic was, “Some Recent Research Work in Physics. It is believed that the student body will be as loyal in making the remaining lectures as successful as was this one. Among those to follow are these: Taxidermy....................Professor Walters The Structure of an Atom as Shown by Experiment . . Professor Begeman Some New Thoughts in Agri- culture .....................Professor Davis Some Phases of Photo-chemistry.

One day she went into the wash-room of her hotel, and was met by the follow- ing sign: “Please tip the wash-basin after using.” Angrily Aletta turned on her heel with the following remark: “Never! I’ll go dirty first.” L. T. to R.: “Are you going to the Plattville-T. C. basketball game?” R.: “I don’t know. L. T.: “Hasn’t he asked you yet?” R.: “No, he’s waiting until I find my schedule card.” Jennie Harris (Chairman Executive Committee): “The program for next week will be posted in Miss Carpenter’s room.” At Citizens’ Bank: —----------taking check to be cashed.

To tell you why Were a waste of time. Perhaps I’ll try Some other day, And so, meanwhile, With converse gay To make one smile, You all might say: “Why waste the time To hear him say He cannot rhyme?” For just because Of lack in me, The muse will pause And wait to see What those may say Who bide their time And come this way To find a rhyme, And find, alas! That they must wait, Like virgins five, Outside the gate.

Heard in Society (As a result of the pillows being gone.) “Miss Giedeman bets a dollar in meetin’ that the Zeta’s swiped our pillows.” In Society President (appointing committees for the carnival): “Miss W.-------, you may be chairman.” Miss W : “I can’t, I’m on the Kindergarten program.” The same reply was given by several. President: “Well, is everyone in this society in the Kindergarten?” Senior Ossoli: “Madam President, Miss Carpenter got after me and said the Ossoli’s were terribly slow.” (To hand in their work.) The Senior found out they weren’t. 7 A AM, In Botany Studious pupil interrupts lecture by Professor P.-- to ask a question.

Method: Soda refuses to effervesce when vinegar is poured on. | Conclusion: Vinegar added to pulverized sugar will not generate COt. Ossoli Reflections Oh, to be an Ossoli, And with the Ossolis stand, Their long-eared emblem on my breast, Their banner in my hand! So with this noble sentiment We put all fears to flight, And joined the Ossoli “Informal In the “Gym, one Saturday night. The old girls stood on the left, The Faculty on the right, While we were introduced to all Upon this happy night. Next, to Sans Souci we were asked. The cottage by the sea, And each new girl was thinking, “How the Ossoli's have honored me! Next, to the initiation we went, And here we learned to crawl, On many brave deeds were sent, In that wondrous Hall. - Then a diploma was presented us Which showed how wise we are. And the speech was worth our fuss. Since then we all are Ossoli's, We've joined the Ossolian band, We wear the emblem and the colors. And by them we will stand! Page 140 Page 141 - s WHEN the army of Aristos was mobilized the first of September, by commander Peterson, many of the old guard were missing. The recruiting officers, however, immediately got busy and shortly after- ward we were able to present our usual impregnable front. Our first ex- pedition for the purpose of training our newly acquired comrades proved very successful. In this we were ably assisted by the Shakes, who also helped us on many other occasions. Who may tell of the joys of the Shakes-Aristo Christmas tree and the celebration on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Aristos? Surely not I. I have a faint suspicion that each Aristo cherishes his own individual memories of those meetings. All has not been play with us this year, however. Under the able di- rection of Mr. Lynch, our efforts along literary lines have produced very satisfactory results. Our intcr-society debaters, while losing the decision, yet put up a good fight. Axel Justesen captured third place in the preliminary oratorical contest, and we have been well represented on the College debating teams. In athletics we have also been quite successful. We have placed men on practically all the College teams, and earned the right to permanent ownership of the inter-society basket ball banner. In the first game of the series we outlucked the Orios and won a close game 13 to 12. A week later we came out the winners of another hard contest with the Philos, 23 to 18, thus giving us the inter-society championship for this year, and the much desired banner for this and all time.

Ask Elizabeth F. and S. Jacobson. Page 161 Orio Society TWENTY-TWO years ago, the Orio Society was founded. It was the pur- pose of the organizers to establish a society which would stand for the best interests of college life. Though subject to cycles of good and bad years, the society as a whole has lived close to the purpose of the founders. A casual examination of the archives of school activities will show that the Orios have “fought a good fight. Many of its former members are now hold- ing positions of trust and honor throughout the state. At present the society is not so strong as it has been in the past. But the future will bring changes for the good. During the past year the Orios have enjoyed their share of honors, forensic, and athletic, and the coming year holds promise of honors yet to be won. So it is the business of every Orio “to get out and get under,” and push. Prof. John Barnes, our critic and adviser, should not be omitted from any “write-up” of the Orios. He has been constantly on the job for the good of the society; and though somewhat caustic at times, has been a strong guiding hand in times of need.

Instructors and students in the departments of History, Government, and Economics are active participants in the discussions, while others are cor- dially invited to attend and to contribute to the general interest of the meet- ings. During the year 1914-15 student programs have been an excellent fea- ture of the club’s work. Discussions have centered largely around present-day questions and movements. The European War, and recent national and state legislation have furnished most of the topics discussed. The membership during the past year exceeded forty persons.

Schluter Winter Term George Zimmerman Mabel Heller Josephine Dodge Mattie Kruell Spring Term Ernest Bloom Florence Kanouse Ruth Lotts Vina Yonker J Page 167 A ealf Instead of some jokes, there’s so few to enroll, Here’s a line about some that you all surely know. There are Ida and Veda, the studious girls Who search for more knowledge as divers for pearls, They toil thru the day and they toil thru the night. And ne’er stop a moment, while a problem’s in sight. Lois Mann, so they say, Latin likes the same way, That was learned one fall day in School Ad., we would say. When Mr. B. said in his nice, tactful way That Latin was not so instructive today; Then all of the ardor and force of her vim Descended like raindrops, right quickly on him. Florence K. wants to use all the arts of her trade In Des Moines, in apartments not needing a maid, And for Jo, the dear child,—a case like the other, Where Jo goes, there’s surely to be just another. Irene S. is the pianist, a musician you know, Who works her small fingers as fast as they’ll go. Bob Fearing says truthfully it’s all he can do To manage that cap (B. A.) a second or two. If he holds it, it wiggles, if he stands straight, ’twill slide, And in class picture poses that’s a blow to his pride. Then there’s Leonard, as President, who worked brave and long To get just a quorum to practice that song. So the Senior B. A.’s will not sound quite so small. When the ( Frcshies” and “Sophs” display all they recall. Mattie, our Treasurer, thinks it’s no play To take all the bills the B. A.’s have to pay. It’s run to each store with small bills and the cash, And then home again to plain boarding-house hash. Where Will makes his mark is in drama—Macbeth, In the scene, right after the King met his death. As a poor drunken porter Will S. had to act Right before lots of visitors, So sad, Oh, Alack! Axel’s the friend of them all, young and old, A smile he e'er has, ’cept once, as I’m told, When he “ Wileyed” the time, ne’er would study or learn, ’Cause she left him and homeward wenti not to return. Ruth gets her words mixed very badly, sometimes, When she’s talking of rings and fingers betimes, There is difference in fingers,—that much of it’s true, And there’s “one” that she’s saving, why, we know not, do you? With so many B. A.’s it’s a difficult task To write a small ditty ’bout each in the class. Is the time seems so short and the space seems so small, It’s best to stop now e’er the rest I recall. The ambitions, the aims and the outcomes will be. Of the rest, placed in prophecy form, as you’ll see. V. E. Y. Page ies — C 1 i ♦� l RUlHl! OP w- lv • W S Yes here thejy are ?

In its social circles the class has mercilessly slaughtered its dignity. In these social functions, the class has presented romantic comedy, pantomime, and impersonation in such measure that the jocular expression of the participants’ sides has been happily painful. At our fall party when the frost was on the pumpkin and our sponsor, for the first time, in the shock we found ourselves in the open air at the golf links. Lester Ary, with a wiener painfully mounted on a stick, marched forth, the Alexander of the day. In the meantime Vina and Ruth and their saintly chaffeur brought forth the delights of the carnivorous tribe. You can be quite sure that, over the coffee-cups that morning, Battle Creek Michigan and Quaker Oats had no representation. But all the time Baldwin, with a sweet sixteen gleam in his eye, devoured nearly a quart of dill pickles. We felt quite impoverished, for we had only the one of the fifty-seven varieties at our disposal. Bill Schluter was made class baby, because of his insatiable proclivity to secure all of the lacteal fluid from the bovine. Our next party was held at the home of Anna Fell. It would hardly deserve the name of house party. It was Hallowe’en, or “the pleasant harvest time when garrets bend beneath their load.’’ l’ajre 170 i Ghosts haunted every nook. Witches communed with the spirits, and everything had the air of the creepy. Bob Fearing, distilled almost to jelly with the act of fear, took four apples the first time they were passed. Mr. Meyerholz, our sponsor, was unable to be present, so after the party the witches and ghosts haunted the house until the cock crew. Then hurriedly they parted with these words, “When shall we forty-three meet again?” But hard times set in, perhaps because we had too democratic a spirit in the class, and the next time we met was at the Lotts Hall. After the good times we had had previously, we feared that mirth would have its limitations. If it has, the B. A. Class has never been able to discover it. Why, before we could make a prologue to our brains there was more fun than a barrel of Chinese monkeys. What did we do? If we told you, you would know, and thus get B. A. knowledge before you were entitled to it. Therefore it is “tenable in our silence still.” At this party dignity stood shivering at the door. We acted so wild that after the party the sponsor said of the class, “ Alas, what sins did I commit, in youthful days, and wild that I am punished in my age with such a wayward child?” The next party was a Christmas party at the home of Vina Yonker. Mable Heller and Florence Kanouse were the assistant hostesses. “Christmas Ebenczer” was the evening salutation. At this party we have the first evidences of the class as a liberal arts class. In the course of events each B. A. was given a cubic inch of wax in- structions, “Chew and rival Phidias and Scopas!” The menagerie which re- sulted can be found in the school for the blind. It is said to be greatly admired. Later in the evening the Christmas presents were distributed. It so hap- pened that about sixteen presents were orchestra instruments. No time was lost in assembling the musicians, and in less than ten minutes symphonies of Dishpan and Meddlesome filled the air with the most dilapidated discord of sweet sounds that ever pierced the doleful drums of human hearing since the morning stars first sang together. Surely this would have made the walls of Jericho fall had the orchestra been there. But the spirit artist of fellowship had drawn us all closer together, and had colored with mutual understanding and brotherhood and sisterhood, the Christmas tidings, even though its expression was mirthful and its object delight. The spirit of the class has been democratic. The spirit of the sponsor has been a spirit of interest and sacrifice. The class will remember with pleasure and gratitude, this splendid spirit of our sponsor and friend, Dr. C. H. Meyerholz. A. E. J. 9 l agc 171 i Fage 173 B. A.

(A new student coming into Chapel for the first time, remarked to an old stu- dent sitting near her): “Why, how many old folks you have in the choir!” Senior: “Are you coming to school to get an education?” Freshman: “No, I’m coming to get a co-ed.” Paul and Charles were seated in Chapel, each guarding a vacant seat hy his side. Some other Freshmen came in and were intending to take the vacant seats in question when Charles informed them that those seats.were taken. That’s all right, boys, as the two honored young ladies probably appreciate your kindness. A certain young lady, in an advanced class, the other day remarked that it was very easy to pick out a Freshman by his abundant use of college slang, such as Gym., History of Ed., English Lit., Zoo., Trig., Ag., Psyc., etc. Floyd P., in Mr. Gist’s English class, had listened to a joke, and not seeing the point, said: “I don’t get the gist of that joke.” Bob: “Say, Mac, will you lend me some fishing tackle?” Mac: “Certainly, if you bring it back.” Bob (returning that evening): “Say, Mac, do I have to pay for that tackle if I don’t bring it back?” Mac: “Certainly, Bob.” Bob: “Well, that piece of wood that the hook is fastened to, sunk.” H.

Several changes in the scoring and judging were made at the conference at Ames, October 6th, when the set exercises were determined. The program was lengthened by the addition of one set exercise, making two set exercises and one original for each contestant. The exercises agreed upon are more complex and more difficult than ever before, and the competition for State Championship at Ames, Saturday, March 20th, bids fair to be a real contest of merit. It’s too early to predict results, but the spirit of the I. S. T. C. team indicates that they will put forth their best efforts to bring back the Championship to Cedar Falls. . Issj Inrxrssr.7 (7- ■ • ; '.r.-k- v.i Mj ; I P� rc 190 Baseball Team iatfFktU THE season of 1914 was a highly successful one in baseball. Our team finished exactly on the .500 mark and were going like fiends at the finish; the last three games being “shutouts” against Ellsworth, Penn, and U. I. U. With Captain Ludeman at the helm, the team showed up as one of the strongest we’ve had here in years. Richards, Huston, and Whitford did the twirling, and Eschlinger, a new “find,” did most of the receiving. Taken as a whole, the team was a hard, fast, scrappy bunch, and it was good to see them in action. The prospects are not so bright for the coming year. Clapper, Huston, Richards, Ludeman, Patty, Dickinson, and Eschlinger are gone—most of them by graduation. We’ll miss Clapper’s rancous voice, and his “at ’em, gang.” We’ll miss Huston’s speed, “Speedy’s” steady head, and Ludy’s” all-around ability. We’ll miss Captain-elect Dickinson, but Teachers will be there with a team just the same. Cotton and “Whit” of last year's team are still here, and around them as a nucleus, a good team should be built up. The loss of good men need not discourage us! Remember that half the National League has jumped to the Feds! Let us build a new team, and by the 1st of May, let us hear that old familiar, soul-stirring sound: “Play ball!” The following are the games and scores: Baseball Apr. 30—I. S. T.

We got off rather slowly at first, and lost several games in a row, but the scores do not do our men full justice. Finally we waked up, and held Drake to a four point margin, and followed it up by hammering Wiscon- sin Normal 19 to 12. But the best achievement was the way we handled our “ancient enemy,” U. I. U. We met them on our home floor, and when the smoke of battle cleared away, “the electric score board” read: Teachers, 27; U. I. U., 15. (Let this be a salve to the football wound.) The last game of the season was played against Beloit, on the home floor. Though somewhat “footballistic” in general appearance, the game was fast and furious, and our team showed the best form of the year. They repeatedly demonstrated their ability to run around the much touted Beloiters, and had their opponents guessing throughout the game. Part of the present team will be lost by graduation this spring. “Micky,” “Dave,” and “Preacher,” go forth to scatter knowledge among the ignorant, but “Whit,” “Zeke,” “Tommy,” and “Cotton” will be back on the job—likewise, “Shorty” Ibblings—so we’ll still be “there with the goods.” The following is the schedule and scores: Jan. 6—1. S. T. C............ 11 Grinnell .................... 46 Jan. 9—1. S. T. C............ 16 Iowa ........................ 44 Jan. 15—1. S. T. C........... 17 Drake ....................... 21 Jan. 16—I.

C........... 20 Beloit ...................... 28 Jnotball FEW seasons at Teachers College have opened with more discourag- ing football prospects than did that of 1914. Hardly a veteran of the ’13 team had returned, and nothing but a bunch of enthusiastic “raw material” was in evidence. But Boatman suddenly took it into his “bean” to risk “life, limb, and personal property,” and following his ex- ample, Willey and Bloom obtained permission from their wives, and joined the team. By dint of hard work and steady courage, “Berk” finally whipped a team into shape, and the fight was on. The first engagement was with Highland Park, and the team started off with a rush by beating H. P. to the tune of 6 to 0. Then came the sanguinary engagement with the Iowa U., on Iowa field, but we heed not dwell on the game or the score. Suffice it to say that the team took a drubbing that would have discouraged ’most any body of men, and then turned around and fought the next game as bravely as ever. You simply couldn’t keep ’em down. They fought a losing game most of the season, but they fought a good game. The game here with Dubuque was one long to be remembered. We’ll not forget the way our boys fought that day, nor the way “Jap” galloped over for a touch-down that tied the score. The closing game of the season showed a marked improvement of both form and strength in the team. We scored on Iowa Wesleyan almost at will, and the last game of the season with Drake, made the fans sit up and take notice. Although not a successful season from the viewpoint of “games won,” the season was successful in this: “We turned out a team of scrappy, courageous fighters— men who have maintained Teachers Col- lege sportsmanship and spirit.” ALLEN P. BERKSTRESSER (Coach) This is the second year that “B£rk” has handled the pedagogues. He was fearfully handicapped this year by being compelled to whip raw, green material into “first-team” stuff. Our early defeats showed this handicap, but the last game of the season with Drake showed that “Berk” had done wonders with the team. With the old men that are to be back next fall, and other promising men in view, “Berk” hopes to build a winning team for 1915. Success to you “Berk!” MM Earl Whitford ROMEO SHORT (Captain) (Center) “Romey” Although put out of the game by injury to his eye before the season started, “Romey” was there on the gridiron all through the season, en- couraging the men and showing his interest in such a vital way that he was re-elected to lead the warriors of 1915. J. Harley Boatman J. HARLEY BOATMAN (Left Tackle) “Boat” On “Tackle Around” plays, “Boat” was there in an original way. A hard, aggressive player, he was long in pulling touchdowns out of the air. EARL WHITFORD (Acting Capt.) (Right End) “Whir “Come on, fellows, let’s go to ’em!” was the cry with which “Whit” led the 1914 team to put forth their best efforts. In spite of many injur- ies during the season, “Whit” rose to his respon- sibility and proved a good leader. Page 1% ilMii AKBAR BRYSON (Left End) “Preacher” The “long man of the team. When they got in his way, “Preacher stepped over ’em. A man who said little, smiled seldom, but was always around. A cool, steady player. He graduates this year. WENDELL STRIKE (Left Guard) This “Aluminum Dealer” often lit on his op- ponents with a force which completely belied his occupation. There was nothing “light” about him. He struck hard and often. One of these gritty fellows who doesn’t know when he’s beaten. Wendell Strike JASPER THOMPSON (Center) “Jap” Filling the position left vacant by Captain Short’s injury, “Jap” showed an aggressiveness and a consistency that proved of real value to the team. He was a strong man, and always on the job. Akbar Bryson Jasper Thompson John Arends David Schmitt JOHN ARENDS (Full Back) “Dutch” “Old” John has the courage which makes his country famous. A steady, consistent player, he could always be counted on to do his share of the work. He graduates this year. A. J. Wilbur A. J. WILBUR (Quarter) “Jap” The shortest man on the team, one of the “long” ones when it came to carrying the ball. Strong, and built close to the ground, he was a hard man to stop, when we needed a touchdown. DAVID SCHMITT (Half Back) Schmitty” “Schmitty” was the man with the boot. His toe saved the day on several tight occasions. A clean, strong, heady player, he could always be depended on for a gain where gains were needed. We expect big things of him next year. Page 198 ARTHUR McMAHON (Quarter Back) “Micky” The lightest man on the team, but full of “pep” and courage. Though small, he couldn’t be stepped on, as shown in the Iowa Wesleyan game. He was fast, strong, and always willing to get into the game. ERNEST BLOOM (Right Guard) As one of the old 1908 team returned to finish his course, Bloom the “married man” got his first real taste of collegiate football, and appar- ently relished it, as shown by his continued in- terest in things athletic. Ernest Bloom FRANKLIN S. WILLEY (Right Tackle) Chief “Pepper Shaker” to the “Pep” Club. Another of our married men who was “there with the goods.” Big and strong, and full of courage, he was a valuable man to the team. Arthur McMahon Franklin S. Willey CORDIA C. BUNCH (Sub. End) A man who put his heart into the game. Al- though kept out of the game on account of inex- perience, he showed courage and “pep” and a will to do. He’ll show up next year. Howard Fearing HOWARD FEARING (Left End) A man who always filled his position. His in- terception of a forward pass, and the sixty-yard run in the Penn game will not soon be forgotten. A steady, consistent player. He graduates this year. VERNE RODERICK (Tackle) Though this was his first year on the team, Roderick showed that he had football in his sys- tem, and we look for him to gallop all over ’em next year. Hop to it, Rod—here’s looking at you! Verne Roderick ■f ill1:.;I • M Cordia C. Bunch Page 200 4 siit: m KWM i CHARLES BASKERVILLE (Half Back) “Bask” One of the new men of the team.

Played strong during the first half of season. The man who is to be remembered for his care- less language in the Iowa game. A good man for next year’s team. Walter Scott Glenn PRATT (Guard) ’ One of the regulars who was always in the game. Pratt hit ’em hard and enjoyed it. He was strong and scrappy and did much to keep up the strength of the team.

Club THE T. C. Club, organized in 1913-14, was continued this year, and its in- fluence was much increased during its second year of life. Several projects were undertaken, all with the view of furthering the athletic interests of the school, and these were carried out successfully. The high School basket ball tournament of the North East Section was held here March 12-13, and the club, by providing entertainment for the boys, and helping in the general management of the tourney, did much to make it a success. A fund was established for the purchase of sweaters, the ruling being that each man who wins his honorary letter in any of the sports of the College, shall be given a sweater. The T. C. Club has much chance to do good work here, and if the enthu- siasm continues as at present, it will be more than an honorary organization, it will be a prominent factor in the athletic life of the College.

D aifftg v A Tribute to I. S. T. G, In the state of rolling prairies, Broad and billowy, grassy prairies, In the Beautiful Land Iowa, With its large and mighty rivers, With its small and winding streamlets, In a county we call Black Hawk; On the long and winding Cedar With its wooded banks of oak trees, On the heights so near that river, Beautiful for situation, Stands a far-famed institution, Buildings many, strong and massive, Stands a crown upon the hill-top, Facing ever to the sunrise, With its name above the portals, Iowa State Teachers College. Gently sloping is the campus, Sloping eastward, northward, southward. Spacious walks and driveways shaded By its stately elms and maples, In the springtime clothed so freshly With a foliage green, abundant. In the autumn crowned with glory, When the leaves in dying splendor Deck themselves in gold and crimson. Other trees of beauty are there, Crab and tulip, pine and cedar, Silver poplar, birch, and locust. At the head of Teachers College, Stands a man of strength and purpose, Keen of intellect and foresight, Large of heart and kind in counsel, Love'd much by student body, Love'd by his colleagues also, Honored by the state Iowa, Honored much throughout our nation, And his name is Homer Seerley, “Homer of the West” we call him. He has need of many helpers In the work so great and noble That is done at Teachers College. He has called a hundred twenty Noblest men and noblest women, That the work may be accomplished. Men they are of thought and feeling, Men of noble aspiration, Men of action, persevering. Men of vision and God-fearing. Women are they, kind and patient, True, unselfish, gentle women. Women having high ideals, Women, a delight to honor. Men and women are these helpers. Giving of their minds' best power, Of their hearts' undimmed affection. Many years of loyal service Have been given by Teachers College To the growing sons and daughters, To the children of the prairies Of the Beautiful Land Iowa. Also come the sons and daughters From the plains and from the mountains, From the states to east and westward, From the states to north and southward, The Dakotas and Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Kansas, Minnesota and Nebraska. Illinois and far New York. E'en from o'er the ocean come they, South America and Armenia, Servia and far-off India. In the hearts of all these students Springs to life and grows and dwells there, As serene as skies in summer, Fragrant as the breath of violets, Strong as winds that bring the blizzard, i4$ eternal as the mountains, A great love for Teachers 'College. For, the lives that touch ours daily. Constant inspiration give us, High ideals and right ambitions; Teaching not alone from text books, Teaching by their daily living. Service is what man is born for, Service does our Master look for. Page 204 a That succeeding student bodies Who shall fill these halls of learning, Walk about the splendid campus, Know the love their predecessors Harbor for their Alma Mater, Three succeeding Senior classes, At the entrances to eastward. Built three gateways strong and stately. A memorial far more stately; More majestic, more inspiring, Soon shall be upon the campus. Every lover of the College, Students, faculty, alumni, Are united in the effort. ’Tis to be a campanile. When the tower rises skyward And the bells chime forth so sweetly. Every ear that hears shall listen, Every heart be thrilled and strengthened, For ’tis love that's in the chiming, Love, the greatest of all virtues. I. R. Sweet Pansy Faces Sweet pansy faces, all velvety and bright, Drinking in the dewdrops and the sun's pure light, You a precious message hold In your petals blue and gold; 'Tis a message, fond and true, Tender thoughts, dear friend, of you.

At the conclusion of this pleasant affair, the guest of honor sug- gested that we organize a club. We immediately took advantage of the situation, and elected officers. The original purport of this organization was to keep alive a unity of thought and feeling, and strengthen the old school ties. Nor have we ever been forgetful of the faculty members. Who could be so ungracious? The influence of their power comes like a benediction to the heart of a tired teacher. In times of discouragement, how cheerfully above the din, rose the voice of President Seerley, admonishing us to be true to the best within us. In our initial stages, who helped us discipline the unruly boy or girl? Who told us to visit that pupil’s home and inquire into the cause of this blighted life? Who told us to love him into obedience? I’m sure you know already, and you answer, Professor Colgrove. Some of us have left the school room, still we unconsciously are em- phasizing the continuity of education. Though now and then we digress to spread the school luncheon—of proteids and carbohydrates—still, we are teaching. None of us have become what we might have been. Not all of us, as yet, Miss Thornton, “Splash at a ten league canvas, with brushes of camel’s hair.” Our most worthy masterpiece, is only a sunset scene, whose clouds appear like “The last weird battle of the West.” Our windblown trees in the distance, extend, we know, too far above the sky line. In your classes, we learned how to appreciate the best, and we thank you. The Proposed Alumni Memorial of the Iowa State Teachers College To the Alumni, Former Students, Officials, Faculty and Friends of the Iowa State Teachers College—Greeting: At the annual meeting of the Alumni Association of the Iowa State Teachers College during the June Commencement of 1914, a committee of five members was appointed to consider the feasibility and the desirability of raising funds for the erection upon the College Campus, of a suitable memoral, in behalf of the graduates, students, faculty, and friends of the institution. The committee appointed at that time recommended that we undertake the great task of erecting upon the College campus a grand and inspiring memorial in the form of a beautiful Campanile. When complete it will consist of a great stone tower approximately twenty feet square at the base, with a height of one hundred feet, a great clock with faces so large as to be easily discernible at a distance of many blocks, and a set of beautiful chimes the richness of which will not be excelled by any throughout the entire country. Such memorial as is now contemplated will be a noble gift from a loyal alumni, admiring students and devoted friends, to the cause of education in Iowa. It will be of such gigantic proportions, of such magnificence and splendor and of such grace and beauty as will fittingly convey the sincere loyalty, the love and devotion of thou- sands of students and friends for the greatest State Teachers College in America. It will be such a memorial as will cause the deepest feeling of pride to stir the heart of every son and every daughter who has attended the institution as they return from time to time to visit the sacred halls of their alma mater. It will be a fitting tribute from a devoted people to the greatest of all professions of mankind—the making of men and women out of boys and girls. The committee estimates that the total cost of erection and equipment will ap- proximate $12,000. Such a large amount is only possible to be raised when the alumni, former students and friends of the institution come to realize the real signi- ficance of the undertaking. The high standard of efficiency and the noble aim and purpose of its founding, marks the Teachers College as one of the great institutions of learning and training in America. Anything beneath the beauty and the grandeur of this classic memorial undertaking, would be unworthy of the Iowa State Teachers College. The President, the alumni, the faculty and friends of the school are desirous that every living alumnus, every officer of the present or former days, every student that ever attended in any capacity, every member of the faculty, past or present, shall give at least something toward the erection of this memorial. We all want to be able to say that it belongs to us—that we helped place it there. To this end and purpose subscriptions will be accepted—however small—so that even the boys and girls may say they own it and they helped place it there. Every cent contributed will be care- fully recorded and placed to the credit of the person contributing. A record of all subscriptions will be kept and will become the property of the institution and open to inspection by the public. All sums of money given for this purpose should be addressed to some one of the committee. Will you help? Faculty Committee, C. A. Fullerton, ’90. Emma Lambert, ’97. Mrs. Emma Silliman Wise, ’92.

It supplements the work of the Department of Mathe- matics. by affording the students an opportunity to meet and discuss questions relating to the history, pedagogy, and theory of Mathematics. There are two classes of members. The active member- ship is from the faculty, alumni, and students who have had at least one course in college mathematics. The associate membership is composed of students who have had at least a year of secondary mathematics. Two meetings are held each term. In addition to programs offered by faculty students, speakers from abroad have been secured at various times to assist in the work of the Club. The programs for 1914-15 have been of a general nature. Following are some of the topics discussed: “Arithmetical Abilities and Their Measurement,” by Dr. C. W. Stone. “Numeration and Arithmetic Among the Aborigines,” by Professor E. E. Watson, Parsons College. “The Possibility and Utility of Logarithms in Arithmetic,” by R. D. Daugherty. “Arithmetic in the Rural Schools,” by Professor Irving H. Hart.

The work of the various departments has brought about results that have placed the association on a firmer ground than ever before. The membership is the largest in the history of the association, and all show a sincerity that adds to the strength of the association. Last summer fourteen students. Kenneth Cotton, Elmer Erickson, Jesse Shedd, Nelson Hersey, Harold Shoemaker, H. E. Wilson, Bert Haight,, Jasper Thompson, Elmer Burr, Glenn Bakkum, Alvin Tostlcbe, Charles Parrott, and Samuel Hersey, accompanied by Professor George Mount, attended the Lake Geneva Conference, and all came back determined to live a purer and stronger Christian life. During the Christmas holidays, a gospel team, comprised of the following men, Rex Haight, Faye Coolegc, Charles Pratt, A. C. Grubb, Fern Sharp, Harry Shedd, and Paul Klingstead was sent to Edgewood to carry on a gospel campaign. The work of the team was not without result. During the cam- paign, of those who attended the meetings, thirty-six took a stand for a Christian life, and several have taken the stand since. Shortly after the holidays, a series of meetings lasting four days was con- ducted by Dad Elliot, whom all Christian workers know as a great winner of men for Christ. Although we knew that Dad woold create a different atmosphere among the boys of this school, no one would have dreamt of predicting the results brought about by his campaign. It inspired every member of the association to live a better life and to help others to move in the right direction. Some of the men who had never even taken an interest in the association are now among its strongest and most active workers. The attendance at the mid-week meeting and morning watch, which had by no means been small, was more than doubled. With the atmosphere that Dad has created among the students it would seem that next year every boy in school should belong to the association, for any knocker of the Y. M. C. A. will find little of his own spirit amongst the student body. The association has been sincere in its work. The social side has not been neglected. Lester Ary, who has charge of the social department, arranged several rousing social events which have added greatly to the spirit of the association. Faye Coolege, who has charge of the extension department, deserves mention in connection with the work of the past association year. Through him a strong atmosphere has been created for Christian work among the boys of the Training School, and it is his hope to have an organized association in the near future. By him also was the gospel team organized, and plans made for its campaign. Rex Haight, president, deserves much credit for the success of the Association. Always has he been willing to sacrifice personal gain and honor for the welfare of the association and for those who needed a helping hand. Though the past association year has been very successful we should constantly look forward and pray that the association may grow even larger and stronger in the coming years. S. C. J. Y. M. C. A.

With a membership of over four hundred, under the efficient leadership of their secre- tary, Miss Grace Wilson, much good has been accomplished among the College girls. The membership campaign, which was conducted during the early weeks of the term, closed with a “Membership Spread’ in the College gymnasium, which presented the appearance of a bower of roses. Toasts were responded to by members of the faculty and the associa- tion. Another new feature of the social work has been the Birthday parties given each month by the association, for the girls of the College. In the fall the rest rooms were re-decorated, and new rugs pur- chased. giving it a cosy and cheerful appearance. The association was represented at the summer conference at Lake Geneva, as well as at the National Conference in Lake Forest, January 1-3, 1915. Cabinet General Secretary.................

To be true to the right, is the need of the hour” Ellen Dare. OLD Time keeps up her march, and another school year with its pleasures and disappointments, its gains and losses, has been borne to the close. The Recording Angel now reviews the work which Time has brought. The year has been a successful one for the Newman Society. The weekly discussions and lectures have been both enjoyable and profit- able, and the memory of them should remain with us as inspiring incentives. Life is worth our best effort, our noblest endeavor; therefore, no day should go by without a step upward. If we are to keep pace with the times, we must not be content with what we are. The minds and souls within us need as much attention as our bodies. Like the little stream that trickles down the mountain-side, gathering new forces from other streams, so we too, have been strengthened by our daily intercourse with faculty and students while preparing ourselves to join our fellow-workers on the great sea of life. Because the life within us “seeks a beyond.’ the lessons of yesterday are not sufficient; we must go on learning today and tomorrow. Nothing worth having is attained without patient effort. It is the hour by hour growth that can look back upon a record of steady progress. As accent is the strength of poetry, so the accent of life is pur- pose. An aimless existence is an insult to the Maker; the poetry of our being loses its rhythm without purpose, and life becomes dull and colorless. Let us not then regard these as our last school days, but rather count ourselves always as learners in the school of life. Alice V.

The work is based on principles which are practical for the teaching of reading and literature in the public schools. That this work is valuable to the student both as an aid to teaching and as a means of developing personal power and culture, has been proven by the testimony of students on returning to the College. The dramatic work of the past year has been unusual in its merit and attractiveness. Two plays have been given during the year. The commencement play of “Milestones,” and the mid-winter play of “Stop Thief.” Both were heartily enjoyed. The following students took part in the plays: Page 224 ’ r V r y f Dramatic Glass MID-WINTER P1LJ-1Y EF n A FARCE IN TWO SCENES February I, 1915 CHARACTERS Mr. Carr, the Father of the Bride.........Fern Sharp Mrs. Carr, the Mother of the Bride ....

Schluter “Stop Thief” WHAT a delightful time we had at the College auditorium! What fun it was to see the other fellow have his pocket picked, to imagine how it would feel to be a kleptomaniac, and to see three weddings, all in the same evening. That is what happened when we went to see “Stop Thief” and be- came acquainted with the Carr family and their guests, during the attempted wedding of their eldest daughter, Madge. It was a most interesting family: There was dear, forgetful old pa made ridiculous and lovable by Mr. Sharp, and fussy, managing ma with her beloved ear trumpet, who was ably presented by Miss Shoemaker. There too, were the three daughters, Madge, Joan and Caroline, charmingly impersonated by Miss Dick, Miss Fox and Miss Hansen. The gallant and self-sacrificing bridegroom was there in the person of Mr. Ary, who in his attempt to save the bride from unhappiness be- comes very miserable himself. His best man, Bert McDonald, attempts to comfort the groom and makes matters worse, although one is quite satisfied with the best man as a friend and a dignified physician. George Zimmerman, as Mr. Spelain, the minister, showed a becom- ing amount of horror in being detected with stolen goods in his pocket, and Mr. Jamison, the business friend of Mr. Carr, was shown by Mr. Boatman to be full of bluff and noisy energy. Jack Doogan, the thief, and his sweetheart accomplice, Nellie Jones, were also there, and they were the cause of all the trouble. Their parts were taken by Arthur McMahon and Ruth Imlay. They were two of the most difficult parts, and were unusually well rendered—Jack with his daring and nimble fingers, and Nellie with her quick response and her love for Jack—made a strong combination for mischief. The policeman showed as much brilliancy of intellect and action as is usual with their class, and those taking the parts brought out these points with characteristic persistence. Mr. Strike and Mr. Short, were a great success as policemen. Mr. Thompson and Mr. Schluter both did their duty faithfully in acknowledging their chiefs unusual orders. We are glad that dear old Pa and the bridegroom were not klepto- maniacs; that Jack Doogan and his sweetheart reformed; that Madge was at last happily married, and that the others followed suit. It does one good to laugh heartily at a lot of clean nonsense, and that is what “Stop Thief” represents. If good results are secured in the dramatic work of our school it is only because of hard work and enthusiasm on the part of all concerned. The music offered by Mr. Merril and his orchestra was well appreciated by the audience, and aided much in the pleasure of the evening.

S. T. C. j[ was again attested by the “capacity” house that assembled to enjoy the presentation of “Milestones” by the class of 1914. And all doubts as to whether the play would “take” or not were soon dispelled by the close atten- tion and the spontaneous applause and laughter of the audience. After that invisible, but none the less real, barrier between those on the stage and those in the audience had been swept away by the response to Gertrude Rhcad’s declaration that she would never marry a man who would not allow her to argue with him, initial stiffness on the stage gave way entirely to ease and forgetful- ness of self, and the inevitable attitude of curiosity and criticism on the part of the audience was supplanted by an eagerness to see and hear everything. This interest was probably due in part to the character of the play and in larger measure to the excellence of the acting. The play, written by Arnold Bennett and Edward Knoblauch, is singular, if not unique. It defies classification in the usual categories of dramatic critics. It is not strictly comedy, tragedy, nor history play, but a sort of mingling of the characteristics of all three of the standard forms of drama. This composite quality is found in many modern plays. But the most daring departure from the laws of dramatic technique that have been taught from Aristotle to Brander Matthews, is the fact that in “Milestones” there is practically no plot in the sense of “rising action,” “climax” and “denouement.” Each act is a play in. miniature; but the acts are unified by the presence in each of the main theme of the play. The unifying idea is the opposition between the enthusiasm, ideal- ism and strenuousness of youth and the caution and conservatism of age.

A professor of Presbyterian dignity slowly ascends the steps leading to the Conference building of the Delta Sigma Rho National Convention at Dayton, Ohio. He enters, and with some misgivings, lays before the committee the reasons why the Teachers College should be admitted to the National Society. He knows that few schools maintain a higher rank in debate and oratory, yet will they admit a Teachers College. One by one the members express their opinion. Then a stately gentleman arose and with an exhibition of what oratory should be, clinched all argument. The Teachers College, the first Normal school, is admitted. That was two years ago. What has the Delta Sigma Rho since accomplished at the Teachers College? From a charter membership of twenty we have expanded until the fifty mark is not far distant. We have seen the preliminaries in debate become more and more crowded, and of a higher character, as the student body gradually realizes what the Delta Sigma Rho really means. Yet we search not after members alone. We aim to arouse a school-wide in- terest in forensics. Some win in contests, many more must lose. We strive to en- courage the latter to try again, for only experience can open wide the gateway of forensic success. Before the Teachers College lies a vast field of opportunity. Nearly five thou- sand teachers come directly beneath its influence. The enrollment is increasing by leaps and bounds. May the future find the Delta Sigma Rho guarding the interests of forensics, encouraging, inspiring, that it may in truth be the true “key of power and success.” Page 235 SpUa Sigma iKljn ' rm Jntmallrgtat?

Page 240 The Miscarriage of Justice Lester C. Ary Iowa State Teachers College IT is twilight, and deepening shadows shroud the towering pillars of the New York courtroom in silent majesty. Before the bar of justice a man waits. Twenty years before he was injured in a railway accident and commenced suit. Seven times he has received a favorable decision, only to find the case appealed by the railway company until reversed by a higher court. Now for the eighth time he breathlessly awaits the verdict of the appellate court. A hush falls upon the courtroom as the chief justice rises. “It is decreed that this case shall be remanded to the lower court for a hearing.” At these words the silent figure grasps his crutch and staggers from the court. For twenty years the shadowy form of what seemed justice had lured him on. Twenty years of waiting, without a final decision! A case involving a score of years of litigation would seem unusual, yet a judicial system which at any time tolerates such gross miscarriage of justice must be seriously at fault. In 1903, a committee investigating the law’s delay reported that ten thousand cases must lie in waiting three years in the appellate tribunals of New York. Other state courts are in the same condition. In 1907, thirty thousand unsettled cases lay in the appellate courts of Illinois. In Cook county alone eighteen thousand cases awaited trial, and the court was two years behind the docket. Seven thousand untried cases clog the courts of Missouri. The district courts of Iowa are nearly two years behind their docket. Everywhere delay is apparent, and it may be truly said that today in many a lauded tribunal “justice travels with leaden heel.” The advocates of the present judicial syestem say that our courts have been uniformly successful. They say that upon this rock has been built our entire governing structure. Who dare denounce that institution shaped by the master hand of a Marshall and a Taney? But it is in this very overconfidence that our weakness lies. We have too long been con- tent to view our tribunals from afar with a “reverence that- men once gave to kings.” The secret of progress does not lie in blind worship of the past. An institution must keep in step with the advance of a people. Present standards demand that our judicial as well as the executive and legislative departments submit to the test of service and efficiency. Two defects hamper our judicial progress, delay and technicality. Their existence may be traced to the English origin of our system of court procedure. In 1800 three hundred crimes punishable by death were written in blood on the statute books of England. Monarchy was rising in one supreme effort to quell the insistent voice of democracy. The death penalty was rigidly enforced, and only through constant delay and petty technicality could the peasantry evade the bloody code. Any error Pajjc 241 of the judge, however trifling, became the basis of a new trial. The right of unlimited appeal was freely exercised. Thus, over the letter of the law was thrown the protecting mantle of precedent, technicality and delay. The principles of this system with its attendant evils became, at the be- ginning of the nineteenth century, the basis of the American judicial procedure. The feudal struggle between classes in England has vanished, and out of chaos time has moulded a successful judicial organization. But in America the English law survives with all its former technicality and needless delay. Some of the failures to administer justice in American courts would seem incredible even in a tribe of fetish-worshiping Africans. In Texas, a man, although guilty, was granted a new trial because the word “the” was omitted from the indictment. In another state the omission of the word “state” became the basis of a new trial. The committee on the law’s delay in 1903 reported that forty-six per cent, of all court decisions were appealed on mere technicalities. Nor is needless appeal the only evil resulting from technicality. Colonel Reuben Arnold states that in seventy-three per cent, of all cases tried, the technical aspect is considered rather than the principle of justice. There is a deep significance in such statements. Three-fourths of all decisions are rendered not upon fundamental consideration of the guilt or innocence of the accused, but rather upon conformity to an anti- quated code veneered by countless contradictory rulings of court. Technicality does more than defeat justice. Through strict ad- herence to precedent, the trial of a case is needlessly hampered by delay. In 1903, the owner of the Iroquois theatre was arrested on the charge of criminal neglect. After three months an indictment appeared. In 1907, after four years of needless delay, his case was brought to trial and he was released on a technicality. Four years of uncertainty as to whether the morrow would bring conviction or freedom! Four years under sus- picion, shunned by his fellow citizens, waiting and hoping that the courts would somehow, sometime mete out justice! Would you know the attitude of the individual toward such a method of jurisprudence? Go to the western farmer, who through some error, finds his lands slowly but surely slipping into the grasp of some great cor- poration. He realizes that the courts cannot bring him speedy justice, for a trial would only mean delay after delay, a test of financial en- durance. Go to the penniless workingman who submits to preventable injury in silence rather than seek the aid of the courts. Go to the helpless wife and children, who, after the mine disaster, have exhausted their scanty resources in a vain effort to secure damages. Go to the editor of The London Spectator, who, after a comparison of the English and American courts, cried out to the American people to cease “blotting the name of the English speaking race.” Although the effects of delay and technicality upon the individual seeker for justice are alarmingly demoralizing, the result upon society is of far more consequence. Law is a guardian created to protect society. Page 242 Yet, when justice becomes uncertain, the deterrent quality of the law is lost. In 1882 there were one thousand and fifty murders in the United States. By 1910, this number had increased to over eleven thousand. For the three hundred Kentucky murders in a year, one criminal was punished. We convict one and three-tenths of our suspected homicides, England fifty per cent., Germany ninety-five per cent. We style Italy “the land of the stilletto,” yet Italy convicts seventy per cent, of her suspects, and the number of her homicides is proportionally less. If the law of society fails to punish the criminal, what is the only alternative? Lynch law! More people have been victims of lynching parties in our country during the past decade than have been executed by organized justice. Only a certainty of punishment and swiftness of trial can again restore the majesty of the law and check this alarming increase of the criminal class. Is it not strange, however, that while the principles of American and English judicial organizations are essentially the same, the English courts are at present considered a model for the world, while our tribunal are severly criticised both at home and abroad? In words of Justice Brown, “One who has watched day by day the practical adminis- tration of justice in an English court cannot but be struck by the celerity, accuracy and disregard of technicalities with which business is transacted. One is irresistibly impelled to ask himself why it is that, with the reputa- tion of the American of the doing of everything, a court in conservative old England will dispose of half a dozen cases while an American is disposing of one. Compare the efficiency of the English and American courts. In 1905, Rayner of London and Thaw of New York were arrested on the charge of murder. In both cases the facts were similar; both prisoners based their pleadings on insanity. The Rayner case was called shortly after the appeal, and the accused was convicted at the end of the first day of trial. Thaw’s case commenced after a lapse of six months, and after two trials lasting a year and a half, he was sentenced to Matteawon asylum. Why is the English judiciary more successful than ours? It is because the court promptly steps in and prevents unnessary delay. It is because the judges have been carefully selected and specially trained for their work. It is because the judicial eye is directed, not toward a maze of previous decisions, but toward the vital principles which determine the guilt or innocence of the accused. There is no longer any excuse for retention of our present legal system. Its cumbersome machinery is utterly unable to cope with prob- lems arising out of our modern civilization. A century and a half ago we entered upon a seemingly hopeless war to plant upon American soil institutions representative of the people. Shall the worship of precedent now undermine one of our most basic institutions, the judiciary? The answer is “No!” For our courts are not fundamentally wrong. Through the obscuring mists of time we see clearly shining those eternal principles voiced in the Magna Charta and Petition of Rights. In 1867, Page 243 English courts were in the same condition as ours at present. Precedent was exalted, then delay seemed inevitable, justice hid her face in shame. Then parliamanet passed the judicial acts, freeing the English judge and laying deep the basis of efficiency. We now face the same problem and the demand of the hour is reform. From mine and factory, from mill and forge, from mountain and plain, even from the bar and bench is heard the insistent clamor for reform, reform, reform. Give us a law patterned after the English to free the American judge from the restriction of petty technicality. Make the judge a real arbiter between the written law and justice. Exalt the office by a salary that shall attract men to the bench, men of vision to see beyond the pale of technicality to the guilt or innocence of the accused. Prohibit more than two appeals except in cases involving constitutional questions. Free the law from the technical shackles binding it. Give us a legal code, simplified, concise, consistent. But a more vital and fundamental consideration than a change in our legal system is necessary for the solution of the problem. There must be a continued manifestation on the part of the people for a better, a fairer, a more just method of judicial procedure. The call of the hour is plain—a call for an active public sentiment guarding our tribunals, condemning without mercy any judge who uses a public office for private gain, demanding that justice shall not be sacrificed upon the altar of delay and technicality, a call for a sentiment that shall stand back of our lawmakers as they grapple with the problems of reform. Carved in the capstone over the entrance of the supreme court of Missouri are these words, “The welfare of the people is the supreme law.” Let this be our motto. Let personal desire and private greed varflsh before the sacredness of a public trust. Let the petty technicalities of a trial be brushed aside, that our tribunals may in truth uphold “that righteousness which exalteth a nation.” Then the misty veil of the future will be parted and to the coming generations shall be bequeathed the priceless heritage of a system of justice, justice unhampered, unwavering, unfailing.

Manual Training MANUAL training was first introduced into the schools of Iowa about twenty-five years ago. For a number of years its development was slow. Only a few schools took up the work; it was confined almost entirely to the high schools; it was given mostly to boys; little except wood- work was taught; while the character of the work was formal, with the em- phasis placed mainly upon its value as formal discipline. During the last twelve or fifteen years the development of this work has been rapid. It has been introduced into many schools all over the state; var- ious forms of work have been introduced into the elementary school as well as into the high school; work has been provided for the girls as well as for the boys; while the character of the work is most cases allows of much more freedom of expression and the emphasis is placed much more upon the prac- tical and industrial value of the work. The action of the State Legislature two years ago in making it a statutory requirement that manual training shall be taught in all schools of the state after September 15, 1915, is giving much impetus to the work and will make its development rapid for the next few years. This growth of manual training, which has had its counterpart in other states, has created a large demand for special manual training teachers and also made it important that rural school teachers, regular grade teachers, and also principals and superintendents shall be informed as to this branch of school work. In order to do its part in giving this information and training, the Iowa State Teachers College offers courses in manual training which are thorough and complete. Two-year and four-year courses are offered for the preparation of special teachers, and elective work is offered for the rural teacher, the gen- eral teacher, and the school administrator. In order that this work may be more efficiently done, a new building is to be erected, work upon which will be started in the spring, one whole floor of which will be occupied by the Department of Manual Arts. This will provide much better opportunities for carrying on this work than is afforded by the present temporary quarters. It is the purpose of the College to do everything possible to help teachers to prepare to handle effectively this new branch of school work.

Magdalene is our dimpled maid; Bess to the movies does parade; Clarion, our girl so staid and sweet, Gladys, at the “grocery” gets things to eat. Fair Edith is the next in line, And laughing Gladys is something fine; Maud, out coasting oft was seen, We draw the curtain on Music ’15. Season The high cost of other dips is only a joke; Piano and voice lessons have kept us broke.

Jokes may come and jokes may go— But “Sally Perkins’’ stays on forever. C. A.: “Gladys Lalan, would you be willing to stand up there and make a fool out of yourself for five dollars?” G. L.: “I’d rather see the five dollars first.” Miss Childs had just explained that man has achieved greater success in music composition than woman, drawing, as she said, a homely illustration from the dog and cat. “The cat,” said Miss C., “is not capable of reaching as high a state of training as the dog, due no doubt-------” Edna H: “Well, I don’t know but what I’d just as soon be a cat as a dog.” Lucille: “In this song, we have the word ‘lingering.’ Can anyone tell me what that word means?” Bright Youngster: “I know, teacher. It means ‘monkeying around.’” Gladys H. (elocuting): “What manner of man is he? Is he of God’s making? Nay, he hath but a little beard.” Glad, wonders why the class laughed.

MA5 Jokes Mary B.: “Is this Mr. Read?” Mr. Read (after a hair-cut): “Yes! What’s left of him.” Florence C. explains to a Normal class the cause of their cakes falling when soda was used in place of baking powder: “Girls, I think you must have walked across the floor too heavily.” (Any reason better than none.) Fannie: “What is the matter with these biscuits, they’re as flat as pan- cakes?” After a moment’s thought. “Oh, mercy! I used cornstarch in place of baking powder.” H. E. Girl: “1 just wear one ring and am only wearing that so my finger will be used to it for another one in the future.” Girl Friend: “You H. E. girls always get diamond rings after you graduate.” Absorbed Reader: “Who gives them to you, the school?” Mamie H. asked a bunch of H. E. girls: “How can you plan an eight- room bungalow and put it all on the floor?” Student Teacher: “Be sure to baste the apples while baking.” Normal Student: “Where can I find a needle and thread?” The Home Economics People are quite sociable when out of the kitchen and mingling with nature Before Before she came to S. T. C. To join the company H. E., Knives and forks were all awry, With spoons folks ate their hum- ble pie. A cocktail fork, to her unknown, W'as freely used to pick a bone, Of butter balls she'd never heard, And canapes were that absurd, Her hair in curlers twisted tight, Complete this said and sorry sight. II. Before she came to S. T. C. To join the company H. E., She had no system or no plan. To work with skillet or with pan. With would-be curls, with twisted hair, She simply sat around and read. She could not make a cake or pie, A It ho her bills were always high, She didn't know the cuts of meat, Her plans also all met defeat. III. Before she came to S. T. C. To join the company H. E., She had no system or no plan To work with needle or with pan. With feet on chair, with towsled hair, She sewed her seams just here, then there, All uneven and not straight, At a slow ond tiresome gait. She bit her yards and yards of thread, And on the floor her goods did spread. Page 274 After After she came to S. T. C. To join the company H. E., Appearance prim and table neat, Result in service quite complete. The silver, now in proper place. Upon the table's shining face; The glassware, china, linen, flowers, Are not the work of many hours; But simply minutes wisely spent In bringing to her home content. II. After she came to S. T. C. To join the company H. E., She has a system and a plan, And now she works quite spick and span. With few utensils around her spread, She quickly mixes cake or bread. Her cream puffs are a work divine, Her family say, “Why, dear, they’re fine .” Her father into rapture goes And spreads the news to all he knows. III. After she came to S. T. C. To join the company H. E., She has a system and a plan, And now she works quite spick and span, With feet on floor, with tidy hair, She sews her seam with greatest care, All so even and so straight, With a fast and rapid gate, How she cuts a length of thread, And on her lap the goods she spreads.

Page US8 V The Iowa Club AT the beginning of the school year in September, 1914, the name of the rural teachers’ organization was changed to Iowa Club, in keeping with the sys- tematic study the club is making of rural life conditions in every county in our state. The Iowa Club is a get-acquainted-with-Iowa-people club. Its members come from all parts of the state and much attention is paid to getting acquainted all around. As the rural teacher must grow into leadership through personal touch with the people of the community served, much attention is given to the development of the social side in the rural teachers’ course. Several musical organizations have been formed among the members of the club. These furnish music at the social center meetings held in the rural demonstration schools. These organizations have an urgent reason for being. They are in constant demand at meetings of the club and rural center meetings, and the experience the members receive is very valuable training in the use of music in rural education. The Iowa Club is composed of live, enthusiastic students and takes a vigorous interest in the activities of the college. Zeal, courage, and enthusiasm being very necessary in so difficult an undertak- ing as leadership in rural education. No opportunity is lost to cultivate these quali- ties in members of the club. There is motive power enough among the members of this organization to start rural education moving forward in many communities in Iowa. There was a time not very long ago when the rural teacher was looked upon as the least in the profession; when it was considered preposterous that any one should return to teach in the country after completing a course in a normal school or college. Recently a lady of intelligence and refinement, who lives in an Iowa city, was heard to remark concerning a college graduate: “I guess she doesn’t amount to much; she’s just teaching a country school.” It is coming to be recognized generally everywhere that the greatest unsolved educational problems in Iowa to-day are in the rural districts; that the solution of these problems calls for leadership of no ordinary kind. The teacher who is to become a leader in rural education must be capable of directing a wider range of activities; must have skill in teaching a greater number of subjects through more grades than any other teacher in our educational system. The teacher who would qualify for lea- dership in a rural school district must be in close sympathy with country life and understand its problems; must have enthusiasm and courage and patience and per- severance and tact necessary to overcome the inertia found in many rural communi- ties; must have a vision of what is to be done and the rare qualities of leadership which can successfully set the community in motion to accomplish these ends. It is gratifying to note that many rural communities are coming to recognize the worth of specially trained rural teachers. Graduates of the rural teachers’ course are going out to work in rural communities at salaries considerably in excess of those paid grade teachers in Iowa towns and to opportunities for service that are not ex- ceeded anywhere in the teaching profession.

Estelle Sheldon Page tEttgltalj (Cluit Organized 1910 THIRTY-FIVE students have enjoyed the right to wear the emblem of the English Club this year. These, with the faculty of the English department and honorary members, Mrs. Walker and President Seerley, have constituted ap organization capable of promoting a helpful interest in the problems of the stu- dent and teacher of English. The programs enjoyed since the Annual of 1914 was published have been varied in character. A most interesting one was devoted to papers prepared by students on the subjects, “York on the Festival of Corpus Christi,” “The Northmen,” and “The Development of Shakespeare’s Dramatic Genius.” Another valuable one was given in the Science laboratory, where Mr. Lynch illustrated by stereopticon slides the changes adopted or proposed by the Simplified Spelling Board. The first meeting of the fall of 1914 afforded the faculty members an opportunity to speak briefly on the subject, “My Alma Mater.” It developed that eighteen schools, largely in the middle west, with several in the east and in Europe, had shared in the training of the teachers of this department. The Brook Farm experiment was thoroughly discussed in a paper given at an- other meeting at which Margaret Dick contributed an interesting reading. In November the club had the pleasure of inviting the school and community to two programs given by Professor S. H. Clark of Chicago. In the afternoon he spoke of the “Poetry of Tennyson,” dealing especially with his lyrics and illustrating his discussion by readings. It was an address that enabled all to appreciate more fully the great and lasting value of literature, and especially of poetry, as a practical influence in life. In the evening he read “Vanity Fair” and interpreted Thackeray’s great work so faithfully that the audience felt they had been present at the scenes portrayed. Our good fortune in securing Mr. Clark at this time was due to the fact that his serious illness necessitated his cancelling all engagements of the preceding spring, and he gave us this time instead. One of the objects of the English Club is to keep its members informed as to the tendencies in the teaching or organization of English in schools and colleges. This is done partly by having reports from members of the English department fac- ulty who attend teachers’ associations and conventions. One meeting was devoted to reports by Miss Siner, Miss Carpenter, and Mr. Lynch in regard to interesting and valuable ideas discussed at the Iowa State Teachers’ Association at Des Moines, the twentieth session of the Central Division of the Modern Language Association at Minneapolis, and the fourth annual meeting of the National Council of Teachers of English at Chicago. Such reports not only give information, but also inspire both faculty and student members to their highest endeavor, confirm the truth already acquired, strengthen their faith in the work they arc trying to do and develop a large conception of its importance and value.

Patt Gladys Well Page -IvS m The Art League “To wake the soul by tender strokes of art, To raise the genius and to mend the heart.” —Pope. “An artist is the only wise man” —Socrates. IT is our pleasure to report the unprecedented popularity of the Art League during the present school year. Weekly meetings of pleasure and profit have been the privilege of those who have affiliated themselves with this great move- ment to better understand the great masters and masterpieces of the ancient and modem times; and to better realize the development of art throughout the ages. Occasionally our meetings have taken on the nature of a social, in which the members have met in the spirit of good fellowship. Such hours in the homes of our friends will ever remain among the bright spots in the memory of the league, where “we form new friendships and cultivate the old.” Dan Cupid, famous amongst artists, stole into our ranks during the fall term and succeeded in carrying off one of our most talented and promising young artists, Miss Dot Brown, whose name now reads Mrs. Bates A. Marriott, and whose future home will be in Chicago. Also we leam of the mar- riage of Miss Inez Devins to Dr. Miller, of Charles City, Iowa. Among the number of 1913-14 members, the majority are still with us. Those who have left the institution and have entered the field are Miss Jessie Wiley, now teaching in Lewiston. Idaho, Miss Vivian Dunlap, teaching in Nebraska; Miss Mildred Packard, supervisor at Ames, Iowa; Miss Jose Bosley, teaching in a demonstration school near Cedar Falls; and Miss Zody Ridge, supervisor of drawing at Algona, Iowa. “The whole world without art and dress, Would be but one great wilderness, And mankind but a savage herd, For all that nature has conferr'd; This does but roughen and design. Leaves Art to polish and refine.” —Butler. Schillerverein IM Januar des Jahres 1912, verbanden sich mehrere Studenten des Iowa Lehrer Kollegiums in einen literarischcn Verein, um sich in der deutsche Sprache weiter auszubilden, besonders um sich im verstehen, sprechen, und schreiben derselben zu Schillerverein ge- nannt. Als tatige Mitglieder konnen nur Studenten gehoren die schon Deutsch verstehen, Oder die, welche die Sprache wenigstens ein Jahr studiert haben. Der Verein zahlt in diessem Jahre 45 taige und 15 Ehrenmitglie- der. Die Versammlungen werden einmal im monat abgehalten. und bei alien Vcrhandlungen sowie bei der Ausfiihrung aller Programme wird die deutsche Sprache gebraucht. Alle Glieder nehmen an densel- ben regen Anteil, und fordem daaurch ihr Kenntnis der deutschen Sprache und Literatur. Von den Mitgliedem deutsche Abstammung, welche ungefahr halb des Vereins bilden, gilt besonders des Dichters Wort: Wir Germania vergessen? Schmach treffe den Mann, Der das Ixind seiner Vater veracten kann! Wir deutsche Manner und deutsche Frauen, Wir bleiben getreu auch auf fernen Gauen; Wir alle, deren Vater liber’s Meer kamen, Wir halten in Ehren den deutschen Namen! Und die deutsche Sprache, das deutsche Lied, Das jubelnd mit uns durch die Lande zieht; Was die deutschen Helden erkdmpft und vollbracht, Was die deutschen Dichter gesungen, erdacht, Dass das Herz sich erfreue, der Geist sich erlabe, Wir bringen’s Columbia zur Morgengabe. Page 301 Columbia, unserem Land, sonder Furcht noch Reue, Sei geweiht bis zum Tod unsre deutsche Treue!” Odds of Observations There comes to me tonight this thought, And ere it leaves, I’ll have it wrought Upon this page. Let read who will, The truth must come, and come it will. We love our school. I. S. T. C. It means so much to you, to me, We know our school to he the best Of normal schools in all the West, And we do love our teachers dear, Our President—respect—revere. But there are some, ’tis sad to say, Disgrace our school most shamefully. Somehow it seems they have no pain. In life, in death, they have no aim. They hang around our corridors At times of class, or just before, And make remarks and give “horse laughs About our girls just as they pass. At chapel time, they form a quorum Outside, in front, of Auditorium. They smile and grin without mistake To her in class, agreed to “take. While others are at lessons bound, They spend their time just walking ’round. They stroll around our paper racks. Disturbing by their queer acts. Forget their books and oft their class, Then wonder why they didn’t pass. They drift along until exam, And the night before begin to “cram. And sure enough the teachers punk To others baby, and them to flunk. The hours they spend around the gym, Should make them of a mighty limb. The price they pay to be amused Will be the price of powers unused. This aimless bunch, they come, they go, From term to term, from snow to snow. They have their fun, they have their show, And that is why to school they go. They seek in vain glory and hope ere soon, To grow in a night like a mushroom. Success in life doesn’t come that way, But by honest toil from day to day. And those on lofty heights shall dwell Who paid the price of diligence well. Who spent their life to learn to die And not to pass it idly by. Who took a part in life’s great play And fought the evils of their day. When death does corne, they well can say The world is better. I passed this way. (Signed) Dude.

Come all, and be baptised in the “fountain of juice.” Acids are good grease cutters, so get into the game, and let a little lemon soak into the crust of your reserve. The audience will please sing: “Let some drops now fall on me.” Page Dramatic Art Act I Scene I opens with Miss Martin having the floor. She gives a long, deep sigh and frowns. The class of actors become petrified and stare until shivers run up and down their spinal columns. The atmosphere is created. Scene II. Lenore Stands seated and Ruth Imlay vociferates to “fall apart” so Mickey can find an opening. Mickey doesn’t trip Schluter, for the latter, he says, can’t fall with clothes on. Then Miss Fox asks Miss Martin whether she is supposed to say something when she puts her hand on the sword and swears. Scene III. Boatman playing peek-a-boo from behind his locks and later because of his profound sympathy for his classmates, typewrites Miss Martin’s notes on Macbeth. Scene closes when the class prostrates itself in gratitude to Boatman’s kindness. Scene IV. This closing scene is laid in the corridor after Miss Martin sends out the separate groups to practice somewhere (?) the WHOLE period. Vina, Joe, Ruth L., Charlotte, Florence, Esther, Bert, and “Jep” take the leading part. Some call this a Strike, but it is better known as Buzz-well. ENCORE: Professor Martin makes a dramatic presentation of a challenge that all who have not received any benefit from being in her dramatic class to rise and prove the lack of development of their dramatic instincts. No response. Some class, indeed! Pajjc 305 FOOTBALL TEEMS Lichty (in Zoology): “Professor Arey, did you ever eat any trepang?” Mr. Arey: “No, Mr. Lichty, there are some things I have never tried to eat.” Query: What is an osculating pendulum? Dave Myers to Frieda T.): “Frieda, I’ll bet you can’t do that again.” Frieda: “Do what?” Dave: “Why, kiss a bumble-bee and not get stung.” Frieda: “Huh! Ask Sorenson if I ever got stung.” (Oh, you’re some bee, “Slim!”) Dr. Mount: “Do any of you know what love means?” Little Hoyman (wistfully): “No, I don’t, but I wish 1 did.” At the Loan Desk Miss Martin: “Mr. Black, will you please hand me those slips?” Mr. Black: “Yes, madam, but I would have you know that this is not an age of chivalry.” Page 306 Miss L. (English Literature): “Lamb’s ‘Dream Children’ is a fine book for little ones.” Miss W.: “Why, it’s good for grown-ups, too. I like it.” Jewell (sotto voce): “That’s nothing! She’s in her second childhood.” Haight: “Professor, is sweating a sign of consumption?” Seymour: “Yes, food consumption.” He kissed the trembling maiden—well? Her lips, so sweet, may but an hour ago have closed around a pickle. Who can tell? (Anonymouseseses.)

Famine in Bugs and Twigs, at I. S. T. C. Over 150 students and one boy enrolled for Nature Study, March 3, 1915. On February 29, 1963, the B. A. class of I. S. T. C. gave a yell that reverberated around the world. On September 31, 1999, they sang with the Heavenly Hosts— some of them did. On January 16, 1915, Lester Ary, in order to avoid interrupting the osculatory ceremony on the porch of a full dozen couples politely steps through an open window. Such a thoughtful and considerate act would not have been necessary. Some of us know why. Miss Hanson (playing the part of Ophelia in Hamlet): “I never saw a crazy person.” Professor Martin: “My—dear—girl, look at Miss Lotts.” Page 314 When When Prexy quits asking for co-operation, And when the Quads can win a game, When Iowa in football we slaughter, And Joe Cummins closes his face,— When on the campus there's a good-looking girlie, When Mickey keeps his feet on the floor, When we get to an eight o'clock early, And in School Man we snore, When “Preach no longer wears a night gown, When Palmer wears a real hat, When Pieper will bow to a crown And Irwin Sage can really get fat, When we fuss a girl, to the movies, And the landladies heat up their rooms, When Rex wakes up with the taste-dark.

Palmer: “I was out with a girl four times this week.” Davis: “That’s nothing, you’ll probably be out with her altogether before the week’s over.” Capt Grosz to Seymour: “Say, prof, why don’t you wear tights like the rest of us?” Seymour: “Why, if I wore tights, I’d be arrested for vagrancy.” Grosz: “Why, how’s that?” Seymour: “Because in tights, I’d appear to have no visible means of support. Prexy (In chapel): “Those standing in the rear may obtain more comfortable seats if they come forward. Page 315 Spoon Inn Poem There's a girl that know, and maybe you do, She stays in the lunch room, where there's always a few. But she’s always accompanied by a fair boy, quite small, Who looks at her sweetly and comes at her call. There at the table they stay ’most the time. She pressing his “paddy,” he calling her “mine” Then the brown eyes look loving into eyes of blue, And brown hair rest peacefully on grey suit, quite true. But ofttimes there’s someone who appears on the scene, Ne’er a moment stops loving embraces between. And even dear sister chaperones the fair two, To encourage or help or to shield from the few. Sometimes there are tears in the brown eyes of late, When we think of the days and hours he must wait. For she said, “No, my dear, I can’t promise you yet, At the end of four years, I'll tell you, my pet. Pa e 317 Chapman Hall [Red Double-two O] Chapman is the jolly hall, And the girls are jolly, all. “Ethel” is just awfully frail And she always looks so pale; When she begins to fade away We will not know what to say. “Bun” looks like a Japanese, And how she likes to fuss and tease. She wears a beautiful, big stone, But she may go through life alone. “Cora” is a girl and a half, She always likes to make folks laugh. She hates to have folks get much nigher, But she doesn't seem to mind “Meyer.” “Harriet” is the girl that plays the songs, And she rights all other folks' wrongs. Together with her disposition, And talent, she is the musician. Inez” has some chafing dish, She makes all the eats they wish; She is getting a dreadful habit Of making them the best Welsh rabbit. “Elsa” loses her temper most awfully bad When things don't go as she has said. She is not studious and rather spend her times Talking, reading, and making foolish rhymes. “Margery” says the men are fickle; She is so funny she does tickle; She always wants to borrow a pin. And goes to every room to find it in. “Corinne” goes to the Methodist church, And she used to eat with Mrs. Foertsch; But never mind, she hurts no one And she always enjoys most any fun. “Simpy” is the most sarcastic girl, The sharpest remarks she likes to hurl, But she doesn't mean so very bad, So folks should not feel awfully sad. “Hazel” likes to wear pretty clothes, And pretty they are, as every one knows. She does her hair in a French roll, And wakes the envy of a homely soul. “Peggy” agrees with every one And almost everything under the sun. At first she likes folks pretty well, too, But she's liable to say, “I'm disappointed in you.” “Sarah” is a jovial old soul, She wouldn't touch a man with a long pole; Page 318 Chapman Hall (Continued) She always seems to be studying a lesson, And with her points enjoys a “messin.” “Speedy” walks like a gazelle, And to see her run would make you yell. She likes to spend a lot of money On clothes and looks and candy and honey. “Eva” plays the piano during study-hours, And she rends the hearts of ours. Who have to hear the soulful tunes She plays and plays for many moons. “Stella” doesn’t like too much racket. She has a “rep” and has to back it. She wants to study and to sleep, And if you bother you get in deep. “Esther” is good in Elocution, As good as any in this institution. She gets an awful lot of letters From many friends who are her debtors. “Judy” likes to go a-coasting And she does a lot of boasting Of her conquest on the slide. But something happened and he “died.” “Lucile” goes to the library to work, But when she gets there she does shirk. She looks around to see if he’s there, And if he isn’t she’s o-in-dcspair. “Helen” is a hearty old soul, But with all her charm she stays heart-whole. One night in the parlor she called a meeting And set every one’s heart a-bcating. “Jennie” is so very pleasant, And when she is around, Lois is present. They go together everywhere And make a very happy pair. “Maud” works hard and learns a lot. She’s always prompt, right on the dot. These girls make a right merry houseful, And you can’t find even one that’s full. They make lots of noise and have lots of fun,— Now don’t you wish you knew everyone? Palmer (to class): “Back in the EAST there grows a barn near the willow tree.” (Some east.) We have discovered why Frank Jewell shoots about so much hot air. It is canned sunshine which he carries around in his head. (Professor Walters says artificial heat is canned sunshine.)

If necessary to do so, hold off until you can get downstairs and outside on the walk between buildings. 2. Do not lift your eyes from your work. If you must go to the desk, close your eyes and look neither right nor left till you stand in front of the desk. 3. Do not speak, motion, grin, whistle or attract any one’s attention. If you must pass some one who wishes to attract your attention, you had better go out of the first door you come to and go either upstairs or downstairs and come in the door nearest the desk or destination you wish to reach. 4. If you wish to speak, write your message on a piece of paper, keep it till you are out on the campus, then give it to the person you wished to speak to. 5. No barred windows or stripes, just silence and lockstep. 6. Do not come into the library with a grin on your face; it shows that you need watching closely. 7. Do not even cross the floor to hand a paper, book, or any absolutely neces- sary article to anyone. They can get along without it even if it is something they need. 8. If you must leave your seat to get a book from the shelves, first get the per- mission of the librarian, tell her the name of the book, its number, the page, what it is about and exactly how many words it contains. 9. Should your shoes be new and infected with a dose of squeaks, better be protected with a bottle of “soothing syrup” or provided with a muff which could easily be slipped on over the shoes to muffle the public nusiance. (Spell it right.) 10. If an itching sensation runs up one side of your nose and down the other and anxious to send a series of vibrations into the solemn air of the library, provide yourself with a Maxim silencer which fastens at the end of your nose and checks the loud report. 11. Whenever a pretty maid sits across the table from you, place your fist against your heart and pray for Satan to stick his fist into the pretty maid’s face. 12. Sixty minutes in an hour shalt thou labor in the library, and none shalt thou play. 13. Honor the librarians that their days may be long and peaceful.
