Cbe Reverend Calvin Daniel Vost, J . m., B. D. member of the faculty Ule dedicate this, the 1017 Ruby, in appreciation of his ability, his character, and his unselfish and untiring service to his fllma mater foreword N American College has aptly been called the melting pot of a nation. In an institution such as Ursinus one finds men and women typical of every creed, all striving toward the great ideal of true manhood and womanhood. Here all are inspired by a similar ambition and a common animus which guides the acts of all who strive and learn beneath the Red, Old Gold and Black. But all too soon these days of reality are past. We are separated one from the other and scattered throughout the world. With our thoughts centered upon success in our respective life works, we have a tendency to allow the youthful enthusiasm of college days to become overshadowed and lost in consideration of the more serious phases of life. Thus thoughts and memories of our Alma Mater grow dimmer and dimmer as the years pass and we may even be led to an indifferent attitude. If this book can bring back the memory of those days, to all the happiest of life, if it can rekindle that enthusiasm which may have waned or become extinct, then we feel that our labors have well earned a reward. 4 -T-y--- - V S' N -N w V ' i 1 Wfi ,f THE STArr.

Reviewing the accomplishments of the class briefly, we are proud to state that our inter-class activities have been marked with unusual progrcssivencss. In all of our athletic contests as underclassmen we have been the victors, the basketball game in our Sophomore year being excepted. Our annual class rushes were crowned with success. A most enjoyable banquet was held at Hotel Walton. Philadelphia, without molestation. As a class, we have endeavored to perpetuate the customs and traditions of the college and in our Junior year, in collabcration with the Seniors, established a new custom, that of requiring all Freshmen to wear red caps, thus giving them an air of individuality. In accordance with a custom which has long been established the publication of the 1916 Ruby was undertaken, the measure of success which has attended our efforts is left to the readers thereof. Scholastically, the Nineteen Sixteeners have won distinction. The class, as a whole, is composed of ambitious and conscientious students, the high calibre of their work being frequently commented upon by the professors of the college. I he members of our class have taken an active part in the religious and other organizations of the college—in short, we have endeavored to support those things which contribute to the welfare of our college. It is with a sense of pleasure that we come to the realization that our work is about completed: that we hand over the reins of leadership and responsibility to the Juniors; that we arc about to pass over the threshold of academic training to cope with the wisdom and ingenuity of the world and endeavor to continue, individually, instead of collectively, to make history by working among our fellow men for the upbuilding and advancement of humanity. On the other hand, it is with a feeling of regret that we contemplate the dissolution of the class. During our career as students at Ursinus many friendships have been formed: the peculiar parental spirit fostered by our Alma Mater has been instilled within us and we are loath to leave the place which has guided us intellectually, morally and socially. We are bound, however, to pursue the higher purposes in life for which we have been training; and. armed with the implements of learning, using as our countersign In Omnia paratus.' we will sally forth to perform those duties which may be exacted of us. 30 Senior Roll John Arthur Adams Historical-Political PlTTSBURG.

To us it brought commencement day. For four long years we worked and toiled. The precious grains of truth to find; And though at times dark clouds appeared. They proved to be with silver lined. Yes, four long years, yet short they seem. If we to their attention pay; l ime did not fly on burdened wings. For last year seems but yesterday. And happy tho these days have been. As others, they must have an end; I he world now its demand does make. And on ourselves we must depend. Thus when the memories of old Ursinus Are but echoes in life’s strife.

Our breshman and Sophomore life was more or less free from care, but with the closing of our career as Sophomores we began to realize that the real burdens were to be placed upon our shoulders. Probably all of us will agree that the ideals set before us during Commencement week of our second year as students of Ursinus were chiefly responsible for directing our attention toward more serious things. Then it was that deeper impressions of duty were received. We embarked on a new ship, as it were, which had to be manned by steady sailors in order to sail a more definite course. As uppcrclassmen-to-be. we looked ujxm the Seniors as those, who having successfully discharged that obligation, were now turning over the responsibility to us. As a body we now feel, however, that we have played our part; that we have met the work laid upon us and that many of the hopes we entertained at the close of our career as lower classmen seemed to be brightly realized. We have endeavored to conduct ourselves during this period of college life as to equally promote all its various phases of development, not narrowing our efforts to scholarship alone, but aiming at something more than this single goal of greatness. I he records of our athletic events as a college since 1913 will show that it was in no small measure through the brain and brawn of sturdy members of the 17 class that our many successes became possible. It is not necessary to enumerate the achievements that have won the respect of all for our Junior colors, nor could sufficient room be given here for that purpose. Suffice it to say that our recent academic records would be incomplete without them. As we come to the close of another year we believe that what we have been able to do at Ursinus has l ccn largely due to the fact that we have followed our motto “Perserverantia Omnia Vincit.” That motto was chosen by us not merely as a combination of words, but because we recognized in it a truth that has been so fully demonstrated in all our work, that we can unhesitatingly set it down as a safe and sound law to guide us for the future. 45 46 ,’JTT O what may man within him hide, though angel on the outward side.'' Harry Bartman On the twenty-eighth day of January. 1895. the quiet little town of College-ville was startled by the advent of one. now known a I farry Bartman. When six year of age. ' Hen began hi systematic mental development in the College-ville Public Schools and after satisfying the teachers of the lower grades of his abundance of advanced knowledge entered the I ligh School and was graduated from that institution in the spring of 1912. In the fall of this same year. Hen entered Ursinus as a regular Freshman. but remained in the academic ranks only two years. He left school and assumed the role of a pedagogue for a year in order to free himself of some of his erstwhile acquired knowledge. Accordingly in the fall of 1914. Hen began teaching in the Public Schools at Yerkes. Pa After a very successful year and feeling very much relieved after imparting some of his knowledge to the younger generation, he re-entered Ursinus as a seventeencr. In the classroom Hen always makes his presence fell. He always finds sufficient lime, however, to shine, and has proved to be a social bug. both here at college and at many other place . He occupies the important position of reporter for the Independent. and whenever or wherever anything is happening, near or far. you are likely to see I fen standing close by with a tablet in one hand, and a pencil in the other, taking note of the proceedings After completing his course at Ursinus. I len” has decided to teach school for several years, and ultimately intends to engage in business of some kind. In this we can only predict unbounded success. 47 And thus he bore, without abuse. The grand old name of gentleman. Charles Cdward Bell It Wil in old historic Germantown that a small boy opened his eyes on November the eighth. 1894, and saw for the first lime a world in which he w� destined to play an important part. Charles Edward Bell they called him, hut we know him simply as Ned. When ' Ned” was old enough, he was sent to the Germantown Academy, where he received the usual elementary education and a college preparatory course. At first, Ned's inclinations pointed seaward and for a while he was contemplating a naval career, hut later became interested in science. I le grew up under the influence of a Doctor of Medicine and saw there a wonderful field unfolding itself. Hence we see him coming to Ursinus in the fall of 1914 Immediately he allied himself with the Chemical-Biological Group and is now specializing in Biology. In addition to his regular college curriculum. Ned” has spent the past two summers at the Maine Biological Laboratories at Woods I I ole. Massachusetts, where greater facilities arc offered for research work. With such a field open to him we have a right to expect great things of Bell. Perhaps we may hear of him finding a permanent cure for cancer after we have entered life's battle. Whatever his discovery may be. we know that it will Ire something for the good of mankind. Ned has made a host of friends at Ursinus who have found, that to be once a friend is always a friend with him. We certainly extend our best wishes to him for success in the work for which he has decided to give his life. 48 He singeth sweeter than a nightingale. 3obn ft. H. Bomberacr John H. A Bomberger, or John, as he is commonly called, was born in Norristown. Pa., the twenty-fourth day of May, 1895. l ie was graduated from the Norristown High School in 1911 and having made a creditable record, it was deemed advisable by his parents to send him to Ursinus. which institution he entered in the fall of 1913. During his sojourn in college. John by his extreme good-naturedness has won a host of friends. Always wearing the smile that won’t come off and with a pleasant greeting to everybody he impresses all with whom he comes in contact. I lis ability as a singer has been well established. With his Caruso-like voice he soon captivates his listeners (especially the members of the opposite sex), and holds them s( ell-bound. Frequently between the hours of eleven and twelve p. m., the tranquillity of the Dog I louse is roughly disturbed by a voice singing that old and time-worn ballad, entitled. When the Moon Shines Over the Cow-Shrd. and immediately we know who the otfendet is. In his Junior year, desiring to make the most of his opportunities. John became a member of Zwinglian Literary Society. He entered upon the new work with the greatest cal and has become one of her most loyal supporters. I |e is a member of the Glee Club and sings second tenor on the quartette. As a member of the Fussers' Club. he is a devoted disciple. The pathway from Bomln-rger Hall to Shroinet is continually used by this young gentleman on Friday nights ansi it is said that he can find the path in the dark with remarkable accuracy, presumably due to previous experience. After graduation. John expects to follow out the doctor’ profession. Judging from his proficiency in Biology, a great future should be in s’ore for him. 49 Then he toill laugh—good gods! hoiv he will laugh! iUaync Allen Brown Wayne Allen Brown, alia ‘ Capt or Gu . first opened his optical organ on April 20. 18%.

Capt” is a staunch supporter of Schaff. and his histrionic ability was proved when he played the role of the villain in the Lady of Lions. and in ‘ Dead Heart. Wayne is a valued member of the Maroon and Steel, and an active ( ) worker of the Y. M. C. A. After graduation from Ursinus Gus contemplates taking a three years' course in the medical department at John Hopkins, after which he will become a servant of the sick and needy. With his excellent training and strong tendency to do well whatever he attempts, we can predict for him nothing but a bright and successful career. 50 As sunshine broken in the rill.

Amy entered the ranks of the gleamers and quite frequently at shines and in society did we see her with her Senior friend. Sad indeed was this fair co-ed when commencement day hurst this romantic dream bubble. During her Sophomore year we find Amy busily engaged in taking I listory notes for Prof. I Iirsch and it was while taking notes that she was often interrupted (much to her delight) by a Lighlkep who came gliding into the library at unexpected intervals. Through these little interruptions Amy was led to see the advantages of co-education and soon joined the ranks of her friends as a regular” and the remaining days of her Sophomore year were delightful and happy. Amy’s Junior year has shown her true abilities as a scholar. Psychology and Logic have no terrors for her. and the more work she has to do the better she is pleased. Our classmate has abilities as a musician and Zwing is fortunate enough to claim her talent. She is a member of the I.nglish-I listorical Group and a valued member of the V. V. C. A.

Jake is also one of the brightest lights on the football field and in appreciation of his work was elected captain of the 1916 Varsity. I lis words are few but none are wasted, and through this he has a friend in every one who knows him. which in turn is bound to bring him success in his chosen profession of medicine. 52 “There's nothing half so stveet in life as love’s young dream Ittabel jane TaulHner Germantown claim the honor of being the earliest home of the subject of this sketch. Great was the sensation when Mabel Jane Faulkner made her appearance there in 1894. But the town could not long hold on to such a precocious child and we next hear of her becoming fascinated with the life of the seashore at Cape May. Mere she attended the I ligh School for four years and then decided to seek the realm of a higher education. Accordingly on Septemlter 21. l9l3. Mabel matriculated at Ursinus as a member of the Modern Language Group. But the field of F.nglish looked more inviting, and in her Sophomore year she joined the F.nglish-1 listorical Group. During this same year she won her fame as a basket ball player and few were the games that she failed to score the winning points for her team. On the tennis court she also has shown her skill Since the day of her arrival, Mab has belonged to the ’ Shreiner Third Floor Crew,'' and has been of valuable assistance in distracting the preceptress, who. in seeking the source of a noise, has more than once pulled her from under a bed. This year she is one of the ' Big Four and is always prominent in their activities. But by no means has Mabel directed all her attention along these lines. She is very fond of '‘Dan (cing). Alcove No. 3 is her favorite rendezvous for this pastime, although any convenient corner of the corridor answers the purpose. Ma! el early joined SchafT Literary Society and has proved herself a al-uable member. In her chosen profession, which she claims to be leaching, we wish her all kinds of success. No matter what her life work may lie the good wishes of the Class of 1917 and a host of other friends go with her. 53 A man he seems of cheerful yesterdays and confident tomorrows % Seth Grove I his was born in ihe village of Marion. Pa., on the twenty-first day of April, eighteen hundred and ninety-one When he was six years of age his father took him to Shady Grove. Pa., where he still resides for several weeks each year After the usual preliminary training in the township schools. Grove entered Cumberland alley Slate Normal School in 1908. and here earned an enviable reputation as a scholar and athlete. After graduating from Normal School in 1910. Grove posed as professor and teacher in various public schools until the fall of 1913. Now having heard of Ursinus through his cousin Maurice, he decided to come to the college. Accordingly he enrolled with the class of ’17. Yes. little boy, the striking thing about him is his hair; it was always red that's why the fellows call him Reds and Rusty. Seth shone several times in his early days in college but of late has become more refined (?). His first year in college was spent in carrying mail and sleeping in Freeland I tail during breakfast hours. In his Sophomore year he became manager of the Book Room and his Past due. please remit. is familiar to all the students. This year Rusty resides in Stine Hall and his elegantly furnished apartments are the pride of Dog House. Rusty is an active member of the Mathematical-Physical group and a valuer! member of Zwinglian Literary Society He is also Assistant Baseball Manager as well as one of the Business Managers of the 1917 Ruby. He is clear-headed, undemonstrative, and possesses good wearing qualities. Whether Rusty enters the teaching or business profession we are sure that he will have unlimited success. 54 We ore captains of our oivn fate” Do Irving Haiti I he demands which I now make upon the reader will be most pleasant if they have shared their college life with this young man. Leo began the difficult voyage of life in a small town in Lebanon County, back in the year of 1896. but while still a child wandered aimlessly into Lebanon one day and liked the place so much that ever since he has made it his home. We are glad to know that in his search for knowledge Leo did not overlook the value of Ursinus to a young man. and accordingly at the call to books in the fall of '13 he hastened his steps toward Collcgeville, enrolled with the '17 class and later became one of its most valued members. Leo has shown that he is a man of many parts and is very cosmopolitan in his tastes; especially is this true in regard to the fair sex. refusing here to become a regular, although gleaming very often. During his first year his thoughts would wander home (?) quite frequently, but now he seems to have forgotten his former attachments and instead of writing missives may lie seen more consistently engaged in the pursuit of knowledge. The ability of this young man was proved when his classmates elected him editor-in-chief of the 1917 Ruby, lie was also elected manager of the Football Team, is a valued mem tier of Zwing, a member of the Student Council, and an active member of the V. M. C. A. During his Sophomore year he was chosen President of his class. He is an athlete of no mean ability, having played on the class Baseball, Basket Ball and Football teams and is now a sub on the V arsity Basket Ball learn. As yet undecided as to his profession in life, but whatever it may be we are sure success awaits him. 55 High erected thoughts, seated in the heart of courtesy fiarry Sherman K bm Be il known that in the course of human events. Harry Sherman Kehm entered this life March 4. 1893, in the little town of Davidsburg. Pa., which consisted then as now of a blacksmith shop, a church and two houses. Volumes might be written about the early education of this youth, but suffice it to say that it was received in the Davidsburg Public Schools. In 1909 Kehm entered York High School and since that lime has put forth his best efforts, with more or less success, to gain the favor of the fair sex. In the fall of 1913 he entered Ursinus College where he immediately made good in his adopted profession of ladies' man. I lowever he has since his Junior year received numerous though slight wounds from cupid's dart. Harry is regarded as a good fellow by all his friends who are obliged to be continually on the lookout as he is always ready to play a joke on them He is a good student, though not brilliant, cuts all the classes he can and always manages to get plenty of sleep. He has. however, become very proficient in one art—that of eating, pulling away all the eats that one places before him. as he has more than once demonstrated. Kehm is a staunch member of Schaff Literary Society where he has shown his great ability (usually after society). He is known to have taken two girls home on the same evening. I he only black mark against this young man is that during one vacation, while on a camping parly, he failed to lake advantage of his many opportunities by spending most of his lime sleeping. In conclusion we can only predict for one so full of promise, a high place in his chosen profession—the ministry. 56 ■ A true son of the soil am I” Guy Allison Koons Here we have an embryo farmer, a Dutchman and a � hark (?).

Guy entered Greencaslle High School in the fall of 1909 and was graduated from that institution in the spring of 1913. hollowing his brother’s example.

However, the old order changeth and Guy now peacefully attends fudge parties at Olevian. As a track man. Jack has shown his ability He was an im| orlant factor in the inter-class meet of his Freshman year, capturing several events. In his Sophomore year he was a member of the relay team but was unable to show his mettle, an unfortunate injury to one of the members preventing participation in the inter-collegiales. Guy is a loyal supporter of Schaff Literary Society and a faithful member of the English-Historical Group. As cheer leader, he has no equal, his vocal capacities eclipsing even those of “Nungy Kichline. He is also a member of the Y. M. C. A. He intends to teach upon graduation and sincere wishes for a prosperous future go with him. Without doubt, this jovial Slate Liner with his capacity for work and his store of good humor will make as many friends hereafter as he has here. 57 “In nip everp gesture, there is individuality Paul Jerome Cebman I'cast your eyes for a patting moment upon the classic feature of one-born of sturdy Dutch ancestor! in the little town of E.li abelhville.

I Its early education, which was a combination of books and farm work, was secured in his native town. At the early age of sixteen he was graduated from the Llizabethville High School. In contemplation of a life work, his love of knowledge overcame all other considerations and he entered Ursinus in the fall of nineteen hundred and thirteen. there to prove his intellectual worth, but. at limes, the pleasures of college life thwarted his good intentions. However since becoming a Junior, he has been able to overcome these frivolities (excepting some) and finally has evolved into a college student. Since coming to Ursinus he has proved himself a man of many parts. His good nature and excellent fellowship have won for him the admiration of his classmates who chose him as their President during the first term of the present year. His developed intellectual ability and class loyalty sets a standard worthy of imitation. During his second year he took a peculiar liking to music, his favorite song for his own benefit being My Marganle. But, we know not why. a careful study of F.m-il-e has completely transferred his propensity into another channel, namely literature. Paul is a member of the Historical-Political Croup and a valued and loyal member of .wing. Each and every member of 1917 extends confidence and good wishes for his future success. 58 “Her eyes are homes of silent prayer Jessie Tzora Ceibv I hi brown-eyed lassie made herself known lo this world in ihe picturesque region of the Susquehanna with its healthy and intellectual environment. Soon after this important event, the family moved to Shoemakersville. Here Jessie received her early education and formed many friendships, especially one. which will undoubtedly prove lasting. In 1907 they moved to their present home in the flourishing town of Limerick. She was graduated from the public schools of that township in 1910 and the following fall Jessie began taking her daily trolley rides lo Collegeville I ligh School, from which institution she was graduated in 1913. Desirous of a higher education, she came lo Ursinus. enrolled as a member of the 17 class and ha remained a loyal supporter of the Maroon and Steel ever since. Being a day student, Jessie was not seen around the college very much during her Freshman year, except in the classroom, but since taking history we find her more frequently in and about the Library, in her Sophomore year she became a faithful and loyal member of Zwing. She is a member of the F.nglish- I listorical Group and was very regular in her attendance at all monthly meetings during her breshman year, but since a certain Senior has gone, she seldom makes her appearance at these meetings. While Jessie is a true student, she is nevertheless awake to the study of domestic science. She also takes an active part in religious duties, manifesting sincere love for the Kirk.

When it came to singing not even Caruso has anything on Mike. He is without question the sweetest of all warblers. I hose who are not familiar with this young gentleman have missed a treat and without hesitancy should seek his acquaintance, for he is a man of sterling integrity, possessing a countenance beaming with wit and good humor which serves as an inspiration for all his associates.

Just when, where, and how Fannie acquired her one bad habit we do not know, but yet. there it is; she will look straight at you and tell you the most improbable tales and then actually expect you to believe her. If you wish to hear some of her tales just ask her how she gets her spending money. I his year Fannie decided to take vocal lessons and soon became one of Professor Joll’s most promising pupils. One of her favorite songs is Jane Dear. which to suit her own tastes she sings John Dear She is also pursuing a course in instrumental music so that in the near future she may be able to accompany John. Fannie is an excellent student and especially distinguishes herself discussing problems in Economics. However, do not think that she spends all her time studying, for she is never happier than when she is teasing someone and she also shows a decided liking for Clarks.

In September, he entered Ursinus as a Sophomore, and pro.ed to be a lower of strength on the line in the famous Soph-Fresh battle.

Pete returned to Ursinus in the fall of 1915 full of pep and won a berth on the 'Varsity Football I earn, playing best in the famous naval victory. He was instrumental in the fire fight in Fast Wing, and received a severe gash under the right eye. which he will carry to his grave.

But Marian's prominence in the German Class is by no means a recent achievement. When she first arrived on the scene of action, even the upperclassmen in German IV sat up and took notice of the lillle Freshman in their midst.

It reached its climax last year when Billy Sunday was in the city, hut even his influence did not rid her of the profane habit, and when she returned at Faster with her arm full of roses, the Olevian Board of Censorship decided that the matter must be investigated True it is that things are not what they seem applies to Marian. Last year when the wily Sophs cruelly robbed the Freshies of their provisions for the Junior-Freshman Reception, little was this picture of innocence suspected. But what stratagems and spoils did it conceal. I his year Marian tripped up the Olevian path as smiling and as cheerful as ever with a loyal baggage-smasher at her heels. She dwells in our midst with capabilities varied and efficient, ranging from Junior C. F.. work and writing articles for the Weekly, to sewing, domestic science and scientific home management in general. 61 “Love me little, love me long ]. Stanley Richards Rich hails from Zieglcrsville. Pa., the region of pretty girls and good eats. After receiving the elements of knowledge in the village school, “Rich entered the Schwenksville High School and was graduated from this school after having earned quite a reputation as a haschall player and student. After his graduation from I ligh School, the thirst for a higher education caused Rich to come to Ursinus in the fall of 1912 and accordingly enrolled as a memlier of the 1916 Class. He bunked with Terry Seaman for one-half of the term and with “Beamy” the other half. At the end of his Freshman year ’ Rich left school and entered the teaching profession, but he re-entered our noble institution in the fall of 1914 and affiliated himself with the illustrious class of 1917. I hi time Rich sought new quarters, moving to East Wing, and under the watchful eye of his roommate ‘Sturdy f'isher became an earnest student. At present our unfortunate member is exposed to Greek, and although small in stature (luckily for him) he has as yet never seen a pony which he could not mount. Rich's ability as an athlete is one of which we can feel proud. I Ic performed nobly on the Scrub Baseball Team during his Freshman and Sophomore years, and we expect to see him win his ' U before leaving school. Not only is Dick interested in athletics, but is also a hard and consistent worker in the classroom and frequently may be seen perusing through the dusty volume in our Library. Schaff finds in him a valuable member and the Classical Group is pleased to claim him as her own. I Ic is also a member of the Brotherhood of St. Raul and of the V. M. C. A After graduation Rich is looking forward to a career as a minister and we can predict for him nothing but success in this noble profession. 65 To be three years in love exceedeth almost a college education Danzer Justus Scbaub Danzer. Dan or Justus' may rarity l e called ihe athlete of hi cla � ; for in truth he excells in all its branches. In his Freshman year he was a sub on the 'Varsity football eleven and a member of the Reserve baseball nine. From this moderate beginning he mounted rapidly to the pinnacle of fame, being, in his Sophomore year a star performer on the 'Varsity football and basket ball teams, positions which he has maintained with greater ability and credit during his junior year. I towever. from this it must not lie supfiosed that our friend of the silent laugh has abilities as a student which are merely mediocre. On the contrary, he has succeeded in securing not a few A’s, which, happily, are not interspersed with many D's. In other college activities ‘ Dan has also shown his worth. A class F’resi-dent in his Sophomore year he successfully piloted his cohorts through the vicissitudes of that period In addition he is a member of the Zwinglian Literary Society and also of the Student C ouncil. This account would be incomplete if we would not mention our friend's social achievements. In this respect he is a veritable lion. Although having had frequent offers, he has directed his attention toward one and it is commonly thought with success. I lis schedule in library courses has always been unusually heavy, but in the spring of the year this is partly replaced by field trips. Though expecting to teach several years after graduation. Dan intends to make business his ultimate profession. Whatever he may do. he carries with him the best wishes for his success, not only of his classmates, but also, of his host of other friends. 66 “Life without longing is a dreary blanlf Uarda fllma Shoemaker This fair lassie first opened her eyes in Jeffersonville. Pa., where she received her early education and then entered Norristown I ligh School. I ler high school career was an uneventful one; she was a shy. unpresuming little 'Miss. devoting her time entirely to her studies. In the fall of nineteen hundred and thirteen. Uarda entered the sacred halls of Ursinus to learn what fortunes life had in store for her. Again we find the same quiet girl of high school days and not until her Sophomore year did she unfold to us her real self, and then did she shine? Well. 1 guess Immediately she began to join in the spirit of the college and her first step was to join society. I hen we began to realize what talent we had among us. I ler music is always a pleasure to listen to. From that lime on she joined one thing after another, showing her ability in everything she undertook. Fven library courses were no longer feared (no more than watching others have a good lime). Her specially is the study of languages and judging from her class work she will make an excellent linguist. However. Uarda. if you wish to study abroad wait until the war is over or your friends will be mourning your loss. Hut you must not think because she is so studious that she neglects athletics. Her friends tell us that she is very fond of tennis (especially playing with neighbors). Wc also hear that she makes an excellent chauffeur. Just a hint—perhaps she needs help. She has chosen leaching as her profession. We wish her unlimited success, but doubt whether she will teach very long As a friend and good sport Uarda is right there. 67 Foint heart never Ivon fair lady miles IHilton Spannutb i hi child of Nature was born on a cold wintry day in February. 1894. No herald went forth to proclaim hi birth; they were not needed, for miniature Mile with hi lusty yell , proved hi presence. Mile ' boyhood day were � pent on the farm, i Ic soon forced his way through the grammar schools of Fredericksburg and then sought for new fields to conquer. Accordingly he spent two years in preparation at Millersville Stale Normal and then cast his lot with the hordes of Ursinus. As a scholar. Miles stands among the foremost. He has verified his ability as a writer of pri e essays, and is very active in literary society work. Karouser is also a poet, having filled that office for his class, and being guilty, moreover, of that beautiful ballad, entitled. Right I hru Der Line. which won the applause of all who read it. I lowever. Miles' chief asset it hi social ability While at Normal School he fascinated many a fair maiden. Evidence of this is shown in the fact that he is always eager to accompany the football team to Lancaster. He will take you around the city and point out his numerous conquests. Bear Cat spent the leisure moments of his Freshman year in singing U-ar-da one I love.' Sometime hi attempt to please the fair sex do not pan out the way he wants them to. but this doe not make our hero lose heart. A an athlete Mile displays untiring energy and pluck. Although he ha not made the 'Varsity, he is one who does his share in training the first team for its battles. This persevering trait will undoubtedly aid our good-natured comrade in hi chosen profession—that of law. 68 “Fain would I climb, yd fear I to fall” Harold fjobn UJeiss On the eighth day of November. 1695. the Liberty Bell was sounded to announce the birth of one who has since proved himself a martyr to the cause, namely Harold John Frenchie Waxie Weiss, known as 'Waxie. fie received his preparatory education in the public schools at New Tripoli and at Allentown Prep. In the fall of 13 Waxie entered Ursinus, and desiring to make the most of his opportunities joined the Classical Group, where he has since proved to be a valuable and loyal asset to the organization, and has succeeded in upholding the honor and dignity of the group. We all know Waxie to be a hard and consistent worker. I lis record in the classroom is one to be proud of. and as a wooer of the opposite sex no one can hold a candle to Wax. Fearing however that this burden might become too great, Harold abandoned all hope of entering the special class which meets daily in the library and at the radiators. Harold is a member of the Brotherhood of Saint Paul. Zwing-Literary Society. Y. M. C. A., and the Glee Club. Recognizing his ability as a singer. Professor Jolls placed him in the ranks of the Big Four Quartette. Waxie plays basket ball, football, tennis, checkers, and baseball. I lis one great ambition is to earn a U in baseball before graduating from Ursinus. I le is assistant business manager of the Ruby. During a game of baseball one's attention is attracted frequently by Waxie who at the top of his voice cries out Zigs Zags. It is Harold's ambition to become a great teacher and to lead the coming generations into the paths of knowledge. We predict for him nothing short of a bright and prosperous future. 69 A youth of fortune with an age of ease” KJilliam lames (Uintyen I his charming lad claims as his birthplace, Doylestown, Pa., but being an unruly child, he was unable to endure the society of his native town, so his parents moved to Lebanon. Pa. Here Bill begins to show signs of learning, and after finishing his preparatory education entered Lebanon High School in the fall of 1909. was graduated with highest honors in the class of 1913. Having had an appetite for knowledge. 'Billy entered Ursinus in the fall of that year, as a member of the illustrious class of 1917. Since his arrival at Ursinus James has become an active worker in all college activities. At first he resolved that the fair sex should not molest him, but the temptations grew too strong to resist. During his Freshman year he proved to be a lion at all the social functions about the college. As a Sophomore and Junior we find him shining at Norristown and other nearby places. In the classroom we find in him the qualities of a student. On the athletic field he distinguished himself by playing a star game at tackle on the Soph Football Team. He is a baseball player of no mean ability and without a doubt we will find him to be a member of the 16 'Varsity team. The Y. M. C. A. finds in him a very zealous (?) worker, and having special ability as a warbler he is allowed to sing in the College Glee Club. Zwinglian Literary Society, the Junior Class, and the I listorical Political Group congratulate themselves in having him as a member. Bill will undoubtedly find life pleasant as he says. ’ never trouble trouble, unless trouble troubles you. A singer he would be Cloyd Oscar Vost Lloyd Oscar VojI, better known as “Mult. first drew the breath of life in Myerttown. Pa. At an early age he entered tchool and toon worked hit way on to high tchool. Here he tpe.it three yean and then we find Otcar a student at Albright Preparatory School. At this place he was able to accumulate enough credits to enable him to enter Ursinus. Consequently we find him located at Collcgeville in the fall of 1913. He first took up his abode in East Wing where he spent two of the most miserable weeks of his life trying to tame the Bear Cat on the fourth floor; but being unsuccessful, he was shipped to the Dog House. Here he found all the conveniences of a comfortable home with Nails Clark as his roommate. In his Sophomore year Lloyd took on a new activity and we find him submerged in the sea of matrimony. where he wat the captain of but one vetsel. Ever wat he true to the helm, and safely did he guide the ship of state. He took part in the class football victory of the Sophs over the Frash.” playing guard. In the winter he captained the Chem-Bi basket ball team and was a star in the inter-class contest, shooting four baskets. As a Junior so far Mutt has one star in his crown—and he got that on a warm afternoon in the middle of November, when he attended the F. M. game en masse. Lloyd is an active member of the Y. M. C. A., a member of the tennis team for the past two years. Secretary of the Athletic Association. Business Manager of the 1917 Ruby, and a loyal member of Zwing. I le says he is going to be anything or nothing, but Oscar has the fighting spirit and is sure to come out on top. 71 The daintiest last, to mal(e the end most sweet Preston 6dgar Ziegler I his dark-haired specimen of manhood hail from York County, the home of see'gars and ihc held for a rich experience. Little is known as to when this son of the soil made his appearance at Ursinus. due prohahly to his individualistic reserved” nature and the wise counsel of Cy Boyer. During the greater part of his salad days we knew him only as the quiet, unassuming 1r. Ziegler from Red I.ion. Pa. But during the baseball season of this same year the ice broke and instead of conservative Mr. Ziegler we have I wirier.” a baseball pitcher of no mean ability and a member of cupid's cohorts I le further distinguished himself and proved his ability as an orator by capturing the first prize in the Xwinghan Declamation Contest. It is generally considered poor form to make any reference to the girls when giving a man his write-up. but we really cannot resist the temptation with our Windsorite. To say that Prestel (as Spannuth says) is a favorite among the fair sex is putting it mild. At all shines, social functions and parties he is among the front ranks. As a Sophomore Zig spent most of his time in accumulating lamin'. undoubtedly due to his new environment and here again we find him the congenial and discreet personage in spite of the elimination of Freshman restraints. A goodly portion of his time was also spent in doing research work in the library and the free social library” of Norristown. Fatty is a man of many parts. His intellectual attainments, his athletic ability, his ever-jovial and pleasant disposition, all these have united to form the cosmopolitan college man which he is. He is a member of the H.-P.

As Freshmen, our never say die’’ spirit was fully shown, when defeated in the class rush and the football game, but we came back strong and trounced the Sophomores in the Field Cage to the tune of 29-16. Again in the inter-class baseball game, we showed the same spirit by holding the Sophs to a tic through a long extra inning battle, only giving them the deciding score when hunger drove us to a long belated supper. However other things besides athletics held our attention during this year. I he originality of the class was displayed, when we held the Freshman-Junior reception in the Field Cage, thus blazing the trail for future social affairs. Great credit may be due to the Soph” girls for their gastronomic feat in devouring a few of our cakes, but the Sophs fell squarely into the trap by cutting the electric wires, thereby giving us an excuse to use our candles and so add a touch of real beauty to the occasion. Truly the reception deserved its unanimous verdict—a brilliant success. Our Sophomore year opened most auspiciously when the husky breshmen tasted the dregs of defeat in the annual tie-up. This coupled with our poster achievements, a few individual lessons and the famous Battle of the Shack” struck terror into the hearts of the Freshics and, becoming thoroughly alarmed lest their President might not enjoy the pleasures of their banquet, they decided to hold it after the Thanksgiving Recess. I he Sophomores in honor of this brain work gave them a rousing welcome on their return. On a slippery field after a light snowfall the two classes battled through four very short periods to a scoreless tie. when the annual football game was played on the second of December. Time after time the Sophs” advanced the ball to the goal line, only to lose it when victory seemed assured. All the members of the 1918 Class, living up to their motto. Vincit qui se vincit. are holding high places in athletics, class work and literary societies, and all. with one accord, arc striving to uphold the honor of the turquoise and Black and to make the class of 1918 a great and important factor in bringing about a Greater Ursinus. 8 Sophomore Roil John Earl Austerberry Historical-Political TraPPE, Pa.

Bringing Ursinus their joy and youth. Their faces were bright with the love of life. Their eyes glowed fire with zeal for truth. Fair blue and grim black were the colors they bore, A sweet pea their flower, of June blossoms the queen; And armed with stern motto in letters of gold, Boldly forth to achievement fared nineteen eighteen. I hey found jolly fun in the long sunlit hours, T he sky o’er their heads was as blue as the sea. I he fragrance of sweet peas those happy days shed, “Youth, friendship and fun! not a trouble have we.” O’er the sunlit horizon a shadow was cast. And quickly they realized that fun was not all. Clouds gathered above them of threatening hue, And show’rs were preparing and ready to fall. Storms came; all seemed lost; then eighteen’s rose; To a grim resolution she staunchly held fast. She fought her way forward, bold, daring and strong. Then the storm clouds departed, her way cleared at last. Now onward she’s striving, her face toward the goal, Fler motto now written in letters of fire.

Strange as it may seem, the mental equilibrium of the Sophomores was seriously disturbed in those early days, by the mysterious appearance of verdant Nineteener’s in the buildings and on the campus. And. even though they had their revenge by defeating us in the class rush, they were forced to admit that we put up a valiant fight and at that early date showed some of the old Ursinus pep.” Later, as the cool October days came on. the campus, which was beginning to lose some of its summer splendor, blossomed forth again in brilliant hues at the appearance of the Freshman caps. One could see them here, there, and everywhere. On the athletic field, particularly, they flourished, due perhaps to their brilliance and they seemed to form the major part of every assemblage of Ursinus students. But let no one suppose for a moment that the Freshmen merely brightened the side lines. On the contrary they entered spiritedly into athletics and especially distinguished themselves on the Reserve Football team. Moreover, the Freshman-Sophomore Football game will go down in the annals of the class history as a remarkable event. The Sophs were unable to make any progress in the face of our stiff defense, and the game ended in a scoreless tic. It is indeed wonderful that the loyal supporters of our worthy opponents cheered for the Freshmen during the game. In addition to our athletic efforts, we have also been busy along other lines. Being thoroughly organized at the beginning of the year, preparations for the Freshman Banquet were begun, and. with the aid of benevolent suggestions from the Sophomores, were carried rapidly forward until the eventful day arrived. On the Monday following Thanksgiving, a goodly number of our class, including the president and other officers, met at the Windsor Hotel in Philadelphia, and there enjoyed a very pleasant evening. We were served with tempting delicacies. After spending a most enjoyable time there we returned tired, but happy to Collegeville, to be greeted by strange sights, and a surprising disorder in our domiciles. In spite of the fact that some careless person had confused the location of the men’s and women’s halls in disposing of bed-clothing and trunks, the Freshman Banquet will always be recalled as an occasion of good fellowship and general sociability in the minds and hearts of the members of our class. However, our energies were not confined to social and athletic activities only. During the first few weeks of student life our class began to demonstrate its ability along scholastic lines, and has kept steadily on with the work throughout the entire term. In such a way we hope to continue during the remainder of our college life, holding firmly to our ideals, so that we may truly say when the four years have passed, that we have confirmed our motto.

Ermold 121 UiTPiywrir hetJO Cbe Press Club HE organization of the Ursinus College Press Club marked one of the most important events of the 1915-16 college term. After the Navy football game, which gave the college nation-wide publicity, several students having the welfare of the college at heart, realized that the time had arrived for all loyal students of the institution to work for the best interests of their Alma Mater through the medium of the press, that the vision of a Greater Ursinus might become an actual fact. After the project had been discussed with and endorsed by Dr. Omwake. the matter was presented to the students for consideration at a meeting held on December 16, 1915. Yoch. ’18. was elected President pro tern., and Derr, 16, Secretary pro tern. After the feasibility of such an organization had been discussed, the President pro tern, was authorized to appoint a committee to suggest plans for a permanent organization to be effected at a later date. On this committee the following were appointed: Yeatts, '16; Richards, ’17; Hain. ’17; May. ‘19, and Coach W. R. Gerges. representing the Alumni. During the Christmas recess a large number of the students interested, interviewed or wrote to the editors of their local newspapers and received favorable replies. A meeting was finally called on February 7. at which time the committee presented a constitution. which was adopted after some discussion and permanently elected. The club holds three regular meetings a year. Special meetings may be held at the call of the President or on the request of four members. The executive power of the club is vested in the board of control. BOARD OF CON TROL Officers William H. Yoch, 18 J. Stanley Richards, '17 John H. Bomberger. ’17 LeRoy F. Df.rr ..... Harold J.

Nor were these games the easiest on the schedule. I he team was handicapped somewhat by the fact that a change of coaches was made during the season. D. E. Bunting. ‘ I I. a former Ursinus star and later a league player, had charge of the team before the Easter recess, but was forced to leave at that time to join his team in the Virginia league. “Bill Thomas, also a former Ursinus player, and who. for a number of years played professional ball, then coached the team until the end of the season. Of the wonderful team of the previous season. Captain Boyer, first baseman: Butler, second baseman; Bedenk. shortstop and pitcher, and Reiff, third baseman, were missing. I his left Adams as the only veteran infielder. He was shifted to the keystone sack, where he played a remarkable game all season, while Mitterling was moved to third base, where he also played a great fielding game. “Mitt had the highest batting average. Besides numerous singles, he had two home runs, three tripples. and five doubles to his credit. Dicmcr was a fixture at shortstop from the beginning and always played a star fielding game but with the majority of his teammates was not very strong at the bat. Kerr was moved up from the initial sack on the scrubs to the corresponding position on the 'Varsity. He played this position regularly with the exception of a few games when he was replaced by Schaub. “Doc’s” fielding was of 'Varsity caliber but he too was unreliable with the wagon tongue. Stugart and Bowman handled the catcher’s job. 1 he former, when not catching, played center field in great style. Bowman also played in the outfield. He was a new man on the team and should make a record for himself this year. I he shining light in the outfield was Captain Kennedy. His st;ck work was of the “ I y Cobb brand” and his enthusiasm carried the team over many a rough spot. Mike's co-laborer. Bobbv Miller, in right field, also gave a good account of himself. Jing” Johnson, the star pitcher of the previous season, and Ziegler did the bulk of the pitching. A sore arm prevented Johnson from doing his best work. Had he been in shape quite a few of the defeats of the early part of the season would have probably been victories. Ziegler pitched big league ball and should give a good account of himself during the coming season. Peterson, a new man. pitched one entire game and parts of others. Kerr led the team in fielding, accepting 172 cut of 177 chances, while Diemer and Adams encircled the bases the greatest number of times, each having I 3 runs to his credit. The former also had the highest number of stolen bases while the latter led in the participation of double plays. The team showed its weakness at the bat. With just ordinary hitting at least five more games might have been added to the list of victories. However the team displayed the true fighting spirit throughout the entire season and should give a better account of itself on the diamond this spring. 132 Reserve Baseball Schedule and Cineup Manager...............................................Herbert C.

We lost no games by disgraceful scores and with the breaks with us, we might have turned the tide in each instance with the exception of Lehigh. We won from Albright, but this was expected. Our unexpected victory over the Navy came as a great surprise, but we deserved this victory for we outplayed them the greater part of the game. I he team will lose five members by graduation but if the other members of the team return, there is no doubt that under the able tutelage of Coach Gcrgcs, Ursinus will turn out a winning team next fall. In Brown and Clark, the team may boast of as good a pair of ends as can be found anywhere. Schaub is a wonder on the attack and will prove a great asset. I he remainder of the team consists of seasoned players and the incoming Freshmen will have to show “the goods if they wish to represent Ursinus next fall, for the substitutes of last fall's team look good and will not fail to make others hustle for positions on the team. I he team was handicapped throughout the season by numerous injuries which kept men out of each game. Gingrich, the giant tackle, was of no real service after the Swarthmore game and in him we had a strong man on olfense and defense. Not one man on the team with the exception of Grossman played the full time in every game. Considering these facts, the season may be called anything but a failure. Here’s luck and success to the team of 1916. and may they win every game on their schedule. 139 R. C. Kichline. '16. The Reserve Football Team Season’s Schedule and Record U Oct. 8.

Average Weight—154 141 Review of the Reserve football Season HE Reserve Football team, although playing but four games, had the most successful season this year of any Reserve team that has ever represented Ursinus. When, in the early part of September Coach Gcrgcs issued a call for gridiron warriors, it was discovered that only seven members of last year’s Reserve team reported for practice. Therefore, around these men. Will. Havard. Sellers. Wilhelm. Witman, I .ape and Spannuth. as a nucleus, the coach was forced to build a team, not only to play under the name of Reserves but also to play a large part in perfecting the V arsity. I he vacant places were soon filled by Schellhase. a Sophomore, who had not reported the year previous and other valuable men from the Freshman class. Of the new men. Ashen feller. I homas . Custer. Barkley and Wood looked the most promising. A very unfortunate condition with which the Reserves had to combat was the fact that they had no regular coach, but under the direction of one of the Varsity players, they developed into a well-rounded machine. I he first game was played with the strong National barm School eleven at Doyles-town. Pa. In this game the Reserves won a 6-0 victory. Quarterback Will ran forty yards through the entire opposing eleven for the only score of the game. The second game was with the Bridgeton High School team and again the Reserves came through on the long end of a 14-0 score. I he next game was played with the Allentown Preparatory School eleven and after forty minutes of fierce struggle, we came off the field with another I 4-0 victory. I liree days after this game, the team travelled to Pottstown in order to cross their football tactics with those of the strong Hill School Reserve team, a team which the Reserves had never before been successful in conquering. I he first half ended in a scoreless tie, but soon after the opening of the second half, our left halfback. Barkley, intercepted a forward pass and ran seventy-five yards for a touchdown. Wood kicked the goal. From this time on the Reserves were on the offensive until a misstep by one of our men gave the ball to a Hill School man who ran for a touchdown. The goal was missed, however, and when the whistle blew the Reserves had won their fourth game by a 7-6 score. As Captain Sellers will be the only man that will be lost to the team through graduation, the coming season promises even a better Reserve team than the present one. 142 The Squad Cbe football Squad Personnel Ashenfeltcr. 19 1 Jght. ‘ 1 6 Bahncr. ’ 1 6 Peterson. ’ 1 7 Barkley. ’ 19 Richards, 19 Brown. 1 7 Schauh. ‘ 1 7 Carter.
