CLASS OF 1917 The largest class in the history of the University of Omaha is about to don the cap and gown and receive their degrees. In this class is represented every honor that is awarded during four years of under-graduate work. The class has the leaders in Dramatics, Oratory, Scholarship, Organ- izations, Gateway, Athletics, and in addition to these, is a Maid of Honor, a May Queen and a Basketball Captain. Every class, as they close the doors behind them, earnestly believes that the school will never get along without them, and so this loyal class do believe they Avill be missed, but sincerely hope that there will be many more classes that will surpass this record class of 1917. Back in the fall of 1913, tliirty-six stalwart Freshmen entered the University, and before long showed themselves able to hold their own against any treachery of the Upper classmen. The first evidence of this was after the first hike, for after taptuiing our class President, the Honorable Mr. Stanley High, and several of the girls, they attempted to get the eats, which resulted in several casualties. By 7:30, how- ever, everyone was eating and singing and having the time of their lives. Our first party to the school was given in tlie Gym, and long will We remember how we scrubbed and decorated till our backs were well nigh broken. Everyone reported the one big time of there campus days. Our next big appearance was in the Gala Day exercises of that year, when we gave the latest production of The Destiich Schule, with Mildred Jones handling the rod. Marion Pearsall showed her first symptoms of inimitable character portrayal in a clever imperson- ation of a cry-baby, when teased by her older brother. Glen Reeves. The climax of the year was a hike and breakfast out on the West Center road. During our second year Joe Weinberg led us, and proved a wonder, especially in our Gala Day stunt, upon which we concentrated all our efforts for tliat year. The production was truly a wonderful produc- tion for an amateur body to put out. Marion Pearsall and Betty Berry- man, costumed in the latest creations of extravaganza, scored a huge hit in some novelty dances. Jean Berger as Katrina assisted Joe Weinberg in winding np the dolls so they could walk. During our Junior year Jean Berger led the class as President, and once more the class took its place as the leading social body of the school. The Valentine party at the home of Mrs. Percival was the most novel event of the year, and lingers still within the memory of all who attended. Dramatics took an upward soar that year, and with Marion Pearsall as our leading lady and Edgar Ernst as second lead, the play was one of the clevei-est plays ever put on by the club. Miss Olga Anderson was chosen Maid of Honor for this year, and after the crowning ceremony, the Junior class rehearsed themselves for the last time on the one stunt wliieh brought the house to its feet. Bill Thomp- son, dressed like a clown, Emerson Goodrich like another, scored a big hit, which was followed by a snappy song recital of parody and grand opera. Our last year the class was led by Howard De Lamatre, ably assisted by Fern Gilbert as Vice-President, and the ball was started rolling when the Seniors gave that syncopated hike out Florence way. After an evening spent in close harmony and ambrosia eats, everyone trudged merrily home, tired but happy. One of the most pleasant evenings of the year was spent at tlu home of Roy Greeling, who proved himself a roya l entertainei-. Again a great h(mor came to our class by having May Leach chosen Queen of the May Day. We were again awarded the coveted last place on the Gala Day program, and lived u]) to the doubly dignified roll of Cap and Gown and loyal Americans. This histoi ' y, lirief as it is, covers most of oui- activities dui ' ing our four years together, and we hope to leave something else in the material form of a present, but before we bid good-bye to our Under- elassmates, we wish to extend to tlu m our very best wishes, and liope that they can all maintain their i)i ' esent iiej). JEAN BERGER, 17. LAW DEPARTMENT The Laws, being situated as they are apart from the University proper, do not have the opportujiity of getting in on all the activities, but this year they have taken liold of themselves, and the first evidence of their general goodfellowsliip was a large number of subscriptions for the school paper. Later on they favored us with several literaiy con- tributions, which were masterpieces in themselves, and took some of the conceit out of our own staff. The Laws have no Seniors this yeai-, and as Forrest Clark remarked, it was deemed advisable that they take a year of preparedness in order to graduate properly the present class. Juniors CLASS OF 1918 Juniors! With what reverence did we breathe that name Avhen first we entered Rediclf Hall. With what fear and trepidation did we shrink from those who preceded us in the quest of learning. Demigods were those above us. But as the year wore on, we Greenies became more confident of our abilities, and as Sophomores even dared tiy our own colors. And now that we have completed our third year and are on the eve of victory in the last, we would scoff to show reverence to any being, unless it be ourselves. Our pride is just — the class of 1918 has succeeded in every branch of school activity. In Dramatics, Perry Allerton and Esther Knapp won recognition and took major parts in the successful reproduction of a Rose 0 ' Plymouth Town. We won an 0 in Athletics through the work of Perry Allerton, and have furnished two members for the Student Council, one of whom had a similar honor in another university. Our class is uni(|ue in that it has furnished three assistants for the chemistry laboratory — an honor no other class holds. The Y. W. C. A. is presided over by a Junior girl, who is also class editor of the Gate- way, and the society editor also comes from our class. As a Gateway staff we think the school as a Avhole acknowledges our ability, for our class, in the Junior Edition, put out the best paper the school has ever seen. We are not going to mention the good times we have had among ourselves, but just mention a wiener roast to any Jvniior and see him smile. IRENE WILSON, 18.

Irene Wilson Of laziness You can ' t accuse her, For Juniors she ' s A loyal booster. Sophomores FINKENSTEIN LOWE REYNOLDS President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer CLASS OF 1919 The member ' s of the ,So])homore class have not only kept up the good work started wlien they wore the green caps, but they have added additional glories to their category this year. Theii ' Hallowe ' en party, which Avas the last social event held in Old Redick Hall, will never be forgotten. It was original and ai ' tistic, besides being full of interest and excitement. The dilapidated school building could not have been any better for a lower region. The spook dance, the infernal poem recited by an inmate, and the scenes of Hades, Avere of particular interest. Our class has done its part in athletics. Eugene Simmons, I. Fin- kenstein, Mark Lowe and John Jenkins represented us on the gridiron. Finkenstein managed the teain. The flippers of the class were Mark LoM e and John Jenkins. Finkenstein is the manager of the baseball and football teams. Our coeds also did their share in basketball. Misses Gertrude Reynolds, Quito Eddy, Lillian Anderson and Ruth Collins distinguished themselves, while no other bunch of girls supported ath- letics in general niore enthusiastically. Our class was particularly active in dramatics. Eugene Simmons, the President of the organization, took the leading part in the annual play, The Rose 0 ' Plymouth Town. Quito Eddy played opposite him as leading lady. L Finkenstein played as Miles Standish. The Sophomores crowned their year ' s work by giving an origiiuil comedy in the Gala Day festival. Louise Bratton wrote it. The stunt took first prize for originality and excellence of presentation. The war will claim most of the boys, but we are not sorry. All are glad that our class can also be represented in patriotic activities. Freshmen CLASS OF 1920 We were the last and largest Freslunan class to enter Redick Hall, numbering a few over forty. Bnt about the time we came to feel at home in this venerable tuansion, it Avas torn down. Then we all moved into the new Joslyn Hall, A-here we were as much at home as the hauglity Seniors themselves. Late in September we met and organized, electing the following officers: Reed Zinnnerman, President; Grace Thompson, Vice-President; John Seibert, Secretary-Treasurer; Louise Brown and James Smith, Sergeants- at- Aims. Later in the year, when John Seibert had left school, John Taliaferro was elected in his place. In December we elected Austin Owens and the faculty ap])ointed Grace Thompson for the Freshmen members of the new Student Council. On Friday evening, March 16, we gave a party to the school, at Avhich about one hundred and twenty-five were present. The gymnasium was gorgeously decorated fci ' the occasion in our class colors, purple and white. We think we gave one of the finest parties the university has ever seen. From our class came the captain of the football team, John Seibert, and also the President and Vice-President of the Y. M. C. A. Engineers WILLIAM CAMPEN President Preparatory Thank you, dear friends ; surely you have our deepest gratitude for youi ' kind sympathy in our late bereavement. Yes, we have gone in mourning for the lost ones. Ah! Forgive— we perceive that some of you have not heard of our loss. AVell, the first blow came when Bozo, ' Bud or Alex Crawford (whicliever you prefer to use) left our ranks to answer the call of his country. You say, A brave lad, ' and we echo, A brave lad, for surely he must be. No longer Avill you hear his hearty laugh along these corridors, nor will his good teachers have to forgive him for his tardiness to class— for he is gone. Then, when we had spent about two days in mourning, another bolt fell, or one might say a boom like unto that which falls from a German raider on a peaceful French town. Floyd Botts, most honorable citizen of the Prep class, left also for the Good of the Cause. A big and brawny man is he, and doubtless no potato bugs Avill enter our soil to do us harm while he is on our Hoe Defense. It is useless to tell our feelings, for you have seen them yourselves and know that we are broken hearted. Ah! How can we proceed with sucli doleful news, but we must to enlighten those wlio know not. Robert Cohn, the big, jolly, good- natured Robert Colin, has also lelt us. Probably as a practical joke— for he loved any kind of a joke— thinking how we would grieve over our decreasing size. But if it was, we can and will forgive him, and wish him Good Luck. Yes, this is the last; but think of those gone before. William Roberts has met with a serioTis accident— his eye. Really, he deserves our heartiest sympathy, for though he is very heroic about it, still he must be suffering some. Smiles was his nick-name, and everyone here knows that his face was one big smile all the time. Though he is not attending school, he is still in town, aiul will visit the school, so his loss will not be cpiite so complete as that of the others. We are glad to tell you that these are all that are gone, but if there were any more, we could hardly bare up so bravely under our affliction as we are at present. You ask if we have done anything lately. Surely you knew that that is a foolish (|uestion, for we are always up and doing, even in the midst of OTir sori ' ow. Of course, we are not as lively as ever, for part of our lively bubbling spirit is gone. Now you know all about the trouble, please keep up your feeling for us, as we need it greatly. We cannot go on, for tears have dimmed our eyes and our hearts are full. .

GUARD GIRLS ' ATHLETICS Out of more than fifteen girls who came out to practice volleyball, the following were chosen by Miss Beaty to represent the school team: Mabel Norris, Jean Berger, Mabel Rasmussen, Louise Jones, May Leach, Elizabeth Seibert, Jessie Tennant and Elizabeth Hunter. Three games were played April 10. Their opponents were the second year girls of the Y. W. C. A. The University girls defeated the Y. W. C. A. girls two out of the three games. Twenty-five of the University girls took supper with the Y. W. C. A. girls at the Cafeteria, and tlien stayed to see the contest. The rooting was terrific, and time after time the bouncing headwork of Miss Berger called forth the wildest exclamations from the sidelines. The University team made plans for entering a town tournament with the Y. W. C. A. team and Council Bluffs Y. W. C. A. team. The Senior Huskies comprise one of the fastest and most-feared iiuintets in coed basketball. Their record this season was remarkable, and they will be greatly missed next year. Miss Beaty has made some extensive plan s for another tennis tourna- ment after Gala Day. Lillian Anderson is the present champion, while Ruth Collins is the runner-up. ATHLETICS Owing to a lack of material, combined with several unforseen acci- dents, tlie football team had a liai ' d struggle frcm the start. Our closest game was played on Tuikey Day at Central City in Tunk ' s pastime. During the first three i|uartevs the Quakers failed to score, and tune after time our huge guards thi-inv back the center offense. Leach, ( ohan, Finkenstein and Simmons played a beautil ' iil game, and had their opponents scared stiff, but superior team-work and new material finally won for the Quakers by a small margin. Basketball met with somewhat better success, and besides winning five out of eleven games, we lost the other games by such close margins tluit it was usually necessary to play off the tie. Great credit must be given tlie coach for his patient effort against overwhelming odds, and the loyal support of the rls, led by the cheer leaders, Jean and Zimmy. The following received football O ' s ' ' : Seibert, Finkenstein, Leach, Crawford, Jenkins, De Lamatre, Korbmacher, Drexel, Cohan, Simmons and Lowe : The following received basketball O ' s : Ernst, Bott, Roberts, Everson, De Lamatre, Lowe, Allerton, Du Bois, Thompson and Leach. Organizations Y. M. C. A. mi TALIAFERRO President ZIMMERMAN Vice-President CREELING Secret.iry-Treasurer •-te ' . i With Johnny Taliaferro as President, Reed Ziinniernian as Vice- President, and Roy Greeling as Treasnrer, the Y. M C A has had the most successful year of its existence as an institution for maintaining a student morale worthy of a university. Regular weekly meetings were held for men only, and many .,ues- tions pertaining to student life were discussed in a most informal way ihe work of this body cannot be oyer-estimated, and a great benefit is derived from the speakers chosen to address the special meetings Among the friends to whom we are deeply indebted are: Mr Wheeler, Dean Tancock, Rev. Hulbert and Sergeant Burnside, the latter giving a very successful portrayal of army life. During the present crisis, there will undoubtedly be a great practical need for the work of the Y. M. C. A. boys, and the University of Omaha boys intend to do their full share. Officers for the comhig year will be elected next fall, and the present cabinet extend to them their best wishes for a successful season. Y. W. C. A. KNAPP President JANSSON Secretary-Treasurer QLIINBY Vice-P resident The Y. W. C. A. has had a very successful year under the leader- ship of Miss Ruth Sundland. The weekly meetings in charge of the different committees proved very helpful and interesting. We all extend our thanks to the following friends of the University, who have so graciously offered their services as speakers on different occasions: Mrs. Foote, Mrs. Lockwood, Mrs. Stephen, Mrs. Marshall, Mrs. Cook, Miss Curtis, Miss Brewster, Miss Pickering, Miss Underhill and Miss Anderson. Among our social activities, perhaps the most interesting one was the reception for the new students given at the beginning of the school year. The most exciting event was the mock wedding of Jean Berger and May Leach, his wife, supported by Olga Anderson as bridesinaid and Jean Roberts as best uian. In March the following members were elected for the coming year : Esther Knapp, President; Mary Quinby, Vice-President; Esther Jansson, Secretary, and Lillian Anderson, Treasurer. We wish them a most prosperous year. ■ • ' Dramatics SIMMONS PEARSALL Ti s uTer Pi-psident Vice-President lieasuiei Leading Man -Ifi- ' IT Leading Lady. ' 16 . Leading Lady, 17 The Dramatic Club, with Eugene Simmons as President and Marion Pearsall as Vice-President, has two of the inost talented exponents of dramatic art that the school could hope to put in charge for the produc- tion of a strictly high-class play. Both have played the leadmg parts in the previous productions of this club, as well as many academic plays, and to use the vernacular, they are schooled in the stutf that goes across the white lights. Dramatics have taken a great spurt in the last two years, and the result has shown that experience is a wonderful teacher. The play this year was selected at an early date, and under the able leadership of Professor Moore the parts were learned and drilled until each part dovetailed into every other part. Eugene Simmons took the leading part and Quito Eddy played opposite him. The dramatis personae were as follows: Garrett Foster - : - --Eugene Simmons John Margeson... - - - - P ry Allerton Phillipe De La Noye - -- - Edgar Ernst Miles Standish - I l e Fhikenst in Rose De La Noye - - - -- - Q to Eddy Mirriam Chillingsly - -Margaret Powell -D 1 . -Olga Anderson Resolute Story - - - - - - , 1 r I, Esthei- Knapp Barbara Standish - -- -— y ' The play was a huge success, and every member of the cast was an individual star. Great credit must be given to Quito and Eugene for their earnest work in such trying and strenuous parts, and also for their generous help in repeating the performance for the benefit fund. Club ANDERSON President ])!•: I AMATRE Vice-President The Gateway Club is an organization eoini)rising the majority of the students. Its main object is to boost athletics, and in fact, any- thing of vital interest to the student body at large. It has held many football and basketball rallies during the past year, and its members have been very instrumental in selling tickets for the games. The question of the Student Council was discussed pro and con, and finally decided in favor of it by the Club. It has also taken a very active part in Gala Day festivities tliis year. The officers for the year were: Olga Anderson, President; Howard De Lamatre, Vice-President, and Marion Pearsall, Secretary-Treasurer Utopian GILBERT SEIBERT LINDLEY ANDERSON President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer The Utopian Society, originally a literary clnb, has gradually evolved into a Girls ' Mixer Club, and in its new capacity is accomplishing a great amount of practical good. Fern Gilbert is President ; Clara Lindley, Vice-President; Olga Anderson, Secretary, and Elizabeth Seibert, Treas- urer. The first event was an initiation at the home of Olive Brain, at which a large number of new members were taken in, and a program for the year mapped out. A short time before Christmas, Laura Axford entertained at a sewing party, and plans were laid for an innovation which was entirely new to the purpose of this club. The club was to have a party after New Years, and all the men of the school were to be cordially invited to attend. Needless to say, all the men gratefully accepted, and a most enjoyable evening was spent at the home of Miss Lottie Underhill. This organization has proved to be the chief means of getting the students acquainted, and as tlie LTniversily grows larger, there will be exercised a strong influence toward bringing forward the backward ones and helping them to become imbued with the broadening spirit in college life. OUR PART IN THE WAR At the oiitbreak of the Spanish-American War, the college men throughout the country were among the first to volunteer, and so it is in the present crisis— the college men take the lead and stand by their country. . ■ When the common people in the old countries wonder which way to turn and who is right, they look to the university men to solve their problems, and their decisions are respected. The common people in our own country are becoming more and moi-e to regard our universities as the seat of all knowledge. It is the universities that devise the ways and means of filling an army with eompetents, and it is largely because of compulsory training that w e are now able to place trained officers at tlie bead of, as yet, an unborn army. The universities find out liow our industi-ies can be run without male help, they show us liow to double the crops Avith less seed — in other words, our colleges have been the silent apostles of Prepared- ness, and now they will be the undisputed authority throughout the land. When we look at our own depleted numbers, and wonder whether our old school Avill survive the hard times ahead, Ave cannot but take pride at the large per cent of University of Omaha men and Avomen Avho have left us and are uoav serving their country, and Ave only liope that every college man or Avoman may feel in duty bound to take the lead and shoAV the people of this country our part in the Avar.

Coronation Executive Arch Bearers Highland Dancers Polk Dancers Dancing Instnicti ' ess.. May Pole Dancers Helen Johnson, Louise Bt ' owu Senior and Junior Girls Gladys Tallmadge Marion Pearsall ..Sophomore Girls Preparatory Girls Freshmen Girls Esther Knapp Clara Lindley Enid Beaty May Leach It was in the evening ' of as pei ' feet and fair a Gala Day as ever chanced to drop its mystic radiance over us, Avhen a score of beautiful Senior antl Junior maidens were seen advancing two abreast, draped in liglit lavende) ' and bearing in their arms the arclies of sacred laurel. Blending into the softiiess of the twiliglit canie music that seemed to fill the air with little dancing elfs. From out of the purple arbor of beauty glided the Royal Herald who, with fairy-like and mincing steps, approached and ascended the Queen ' s Throne. Poising like a butterfly upon the steps, she announced in simple meter the legend of Gala-niglit. Closely following came the Queen of Nineteen Hundred and Sixteen with her attendants, and as she gracefully reclined amidst the flowers and conversed with her special maids, the music gradually changed and the march of the Queen of Nineteen Hundred and Seventeen was wafted gently through the trees. Hardly had the breath of her approach been felt by all, when she emerged in a glory of loveliness, and in all lier majesty knelt at the feet of the retiring Queen. The wreath of flowers resting lightly upon her brow and mingling with her dark tresses, she took the throne ott ' ered her and sank back in dreamy content to watch the happy and capering fantastics of hei- subjects, who sprang into sight from out of the growing dusk and started to trip about in the oddest of old-fashioned folk dances. Garbed in the (|iuiintest of cos- tumes, these elfs danced until tlie sleepy old moon himself announced that the day would soon be over. Suddenly the May Pole shook itself, and long streamers of white and pui ' ple were seen to float ui)on the breeze, while beneath the shadows the May Spirits arranged themselves for the crowning frolic of the night. To tlie strains of the flute and reed did these spirits wind and unwind until their foi ' ins were lost in a ])]urre(l vision of white and stai ' light. The first on the bill was the Prep Stunt, and trust tliese pin-feathered friends to put one over that is a scream. John Taliaferro as a Charlie boy, Jean Roberts as Aunt Agnes, and Nathine Talbot as a bored child of the world, were typical parts of tlu ' ir difficult charactei ' ization, and scored a big hit. Next in line caine the Sophomores with one of the cleverest sketches seen in Omaha for a long time. It was written by Louise liratton, who sang the leads throughout. Eugene Simmons and Louise sang a special selection wliich brouglit down the house, and was re-echoed by a similar one effected by Quito Eddy and Isadoi ' e Finkenstein. Lnmediately afterward the blooming Freslimen pei ' petrated tlieir usual Bowery number, and this year it was a zaza from start to finish. Knockout Taliaferro received the blow that took him from beneath the glitter of the limelight. Mabel Rasmussen also assei ' ted her rights, and put one over on Hubby, Reed Zimmerman played his part admirably and adapted himself to eveiy situation. Birds now began to tweet and other things float upon tlie air in anticipation of the Passing Specialty Act of 1917. The curtain rose upon five couples, the boys draping themselves over chairs and singing a Patter-Patter-Rain-Drop song which won a wet response. The clouds clearing up shortly, the girls coiled up in the chairs and the boys sang up at ' em, Love ' s Old Sweet Song. This was sung real gently, and the outlook became fairer, immediately after which Louise Bratton sang Poor Butterfly and the chorus helped her out with some real harmony. The act closed with a spotlight rendition of Babes in the Woods. The Juniors now advanced with a reproduction of tlieii ' interpreta- tion of The Wizard of Oz, and their act was a gorgeous displayal of costume and scenery. Esther Knapp, Clara Lindley and Edward Eliot Avere particularly striking, and all played their i)arts well. To those who are familiar with that touching little song, Oh, Circus Day, and to those who can whistle, sing, lu;m, growl oi- do something else like the Senior Sailor Boys tried to, we have a revised version which was sung Gala-night mostly to the orchesti ' a and a few itinerant fi ' iends who hoped to spend the night. Li other words, the song was lost, but may help bring back a fcAV memories to our wandering alumni. It is as follows: Oh, Gala Day, iust see those girls dressed up in ])ants; See our Quito do that pretty dance; See those Freshmen buzzin ' round; Jimmy Smith, that funny clown; Watch our for that big buxom blonde, she ' s a fright, she will bite. Oh, Gala Day, it comes ai ' ound but once a year; Oh, my honey, ain ' t yon glad you ' re here. Ev ' ry song we can we perpetrate; Ev ' ry dance we can we syncopate. On that Gala Day. This was the donation of the Senior Middies, and we were very much disappointed that we couldn ' t get away with it. Bill Thompson led the chorus in some patriotic songs, and the curtain was dropped on the best Gala Day in captivity. The school did stand Back quite aghast, For Jimmy ' s was A shady past. The girl — blue eyes, Quite free from guile, Witli bashful ease Played safe awhile. A PASTURAL TALE. Jimmy Smith, Of chubby face, Was cut to fill a Lot of space. One girl he liked Quite well, indeed ; In rushing hei ' He took the lead. Thought she, I ' ll do My very best. It ' s up to him to Do the rest. 81ie handed out an Awful line, Paper and ink, and Said, Please sign. She lied so much it Seemed a sin To call a pair of Socks a twin. He signed upon the River Plate, And tried to swallow All the l)ait. The school said, She Is on the wing, And soon will fly A wedding ring. But Jinrmy ' s faith Was somewhat shaken When for a pledge This girl was taken. The Kappa Psi ' s With paddle and song Said, It ' s time to Be movin ' along. They took her from hiiu, And held by three, Walloped her through The third degree. This girl ne ' er swore nor Smoked before, But learned to choke and Call for more. Then dressed in bloomers, Belt and gun. She put a drug clerk On the run. Fearful that he Should grow less. She said, I will to Him confess. She said, My dear, I Can explain. Said he, Never speak To me again. , Now Jimmy back on grass Is feeding ; The girl another Jack Is leading. She got Patimas — All his stock. Returned in ten-flat by The clock. Thought Jim, Of late She acts unruly; ■■ She should respect My wishes duly. I can ' t play nurse, she Thouglit of him; She saw his chances Growing slim. How can T, with A bit of grace. Tell such a clown I love his face? While Jimmy, weeping O ' er her sin. Lost a pound and Got real thin. o -a o X o CO z w (X Arm AUF OEM HAISiir) BRWABl Ndy Ledch CApt. RutK Sun6l h6 l Lt.
