If it delights you. say something complimentary about it. If it has the opposite effect, follow the natural course and condemn the attempt. Either result you may be sure is expected; yes. even desired. THE STAFF “Lest We Forget” To the eight brave Ursinus men who gave their lives for the cause of their country, we, the class of 1921. out of the utmost respect and esteem, dedicate this, our Ruby, feeling that their devotion and courage was of the highest type.

Class Motto “Pas dc cictorc, sans da labour Class Flower Red Rose Class Colors Red and Blue Class History •‘HHl IF class of 1921 is sufficient unto itself. This phrase issuing from the mouth of one so eminent as Doctor Omwakc is to be considered authoritative. If this does not prove conclusively that in the year 1921 there issued from the portals of old Ursinus a truly remarkable aggregation, the following jingle composed by no one less notorious than P. A. Mertz should relieve the most dubious individual: “The class of twenty-one Shall be known by what it’s done.’ Truly remarkable concession, knowing the man. but it only tells part of the story. Now. as is expected and necessary, I shall proceed to toot my own horn. The following discourse will be on myself by myself, inasmuch as I feel that there is to be found no better chronicler of my past. I am a great class. Yes! the greatest that was ever discussed in a regular monthly faculty meeting. But to begin in the best historical style let it be known: That, I. the class of 1921. was born one blustery night back in the year 1897, when the arrival of a boy had been announced to a certain minister. The pulpit orator then and there said, his habitat shall some day be Ursinus. A similar circumstance occurred to ‘Ike’ and Tops’’ a trifle later, l or almost a quarter of a century my embryo slowly grew atom by atom, and by the fall of the memorable year 1917 Dame Fortune was ready to smile upon Ursinus. The first of me to register was Ray Klingaman. who stands pre-eminent for his toleration, as he has slept in the same room with Schlater’s sonorous voice for four long years. The sparkling eyes of Kit were next to invade the Dean’s office, and they have been invading everything and every one accessible since. By the evening of that first day the vandalistic portion of myself Page twenty-ficc had arrived, held a meeting and covered the shabby portions of the community in a new coat of paint. The next morning I lost the tug-of-war to the Sophomores. Oh! I have an alibi, but I refuse to apologize. Event followed event and even the Norristown limes commented upon my activities. That sleeping giant, the Sophomore Class, awoke one morning minus its head. Mr. Miller accepted our pressing invitation to a banquet, which was a decided success. During these trying times Iscnbcrg was my President. Beck my Vice-President. I leindcl my Secretary, and Schlater my Treasurer. I he football game I lost, but “a great man is none the less great when he lies vanquished in the dust.’’ The melancholy days having arrived. I kept the school alive by my foolish pranks and my sensible original actions. The 1917 football team was aided in gaining victories by 'Ike'’ at halfback and Ty at guard, while Mosc.” ’ Shelly.’’ Chum.” ’’ l ops,” Glass. “Nig,” Hoke and Kohn helped whip the varsity into shape. I defeated the enemy in basketball. 23 to 19. After this event, until spring beckoned me. I withdrew into my shell and began to accumulate vast amounts of knowledge along many lines. During my comotose condition several of my components fell madly in love with a few of my exponents. With the arrival of spring I entered the numerous activities offered. Another varsity team was inspired by several of my constituents. Final examinations were passed or passed me and the majority of myself stepped up to the region of Sophomority. I passed the summer in many places, the majority of my male portion joining the forces of Uncle Sam. l or this reason I was all broke up until after the Christmas holidays, when I collected the majority of myself and started out once more to make things hum. The Freshmen trembled when I spoke and I defeated them in an exciting game of basketball. In the spring my fancy turned to baseball, tennis and social hour. The results were quite satisfactory. Lentz captained the tennis team. Iscnbcrg pitched on the varsity and Moser picked daisies in the outfield. I walloped the freshmen in baseball. More examinations and I became an object of respect, an upper classman. Summer, more light nights and soft words. With my growing up I became dignified but not dead, as the energy within me does not permit idleness. Mose. a queer bit of myself, won a varsity berth and starred at end position. I chose my Ruby Staff, and inquisitively awaited results. Page tuvnly-six 19 21 That spring my little sister. 1923. entertained me in the cage. and. folks, that was some entertainment. I was transported to fairyland, and brought back all too soon. Under the able directorship of Mr. Dcitz was staged What Would a Gentleman Do? Here was my crowning success in dramatics, although on previous occasions. 1921 men and women had starred before the footlights. Once more summer, and I disseminated my worthy members in order to acquire the dignity essential to Seniors. When in September the gun cracked for the last lap I leaped forward ready to head the school. I he Y. M. and Y. W. C. A.’s, the societies, the musical clubs, the secret orders, the athletic teams, the dramatics, the debating teams, the publication boards, and the classrooms were all headed by my members, while the under classmen conscientiously act as understudies, so that when their appointed time comes they may approach our standard. Within me arc to be found no outstanding individuals, but rather a class in the class. I hc fact that I am what I am can be blamed on the institution, for within the classic walls of Ursinus I became imbued with the prevailing influence. Page tuenty-secen Who’s Who MAN Clyde A.

This sweet-tempered. gentle-looking personage, commonly known as Brownie.’ became famous many a year ago. In Collegeville High School, for example, he was noted for his habit of secreting candy just as a dog hides a bone Strange to say. he always hid it at the same spot, behind the dictionary, and what could l c expected but that the girls should want to look up the meaning of some obscure word about that time. By this odd method of charming, he captivated the hearts of all the girls, especially no. we aren't going to tell her name, it wouldn't be nice only to forget her when he entered college. In college his studies in chemistry and biology soon made him so proficient that when war broke out we were not surprised to sec Brownie” enlist in the Chemical Service of the Navy. When he came back from the war. lie resumed Ins pre-war scientific study. But his work was not one-sided, for as stage manager of the Junior Play, as class president, and in many other activities his services were much in demand. But work did not tuke all of his time, for—Lois Hook ed him. It was then that we saw Brownie” making pilgrimages to Port Washington, as well as to Shreiner. This year finds Brownie busier than ever. As guardian of the Bi-Lab he has become Dr. Allen's right-hand man. If we judge the future by the past, we can truthfully predict a wonderful success for Brownie. 'Tis industry supports us all.

( . 2. 3. • ). Lizzie Kate! What do you see when you read that name? To those who know her best, a flaxen-haired, beady blue-eyed maid dances before their vision. Short and as prettily plump as Irving's Kathryn Van Tassel is her figure and daintily is it ever clothed. Elizabeth has had a quite varied and interesting childhood, this being the cause probably of her frequent and changeful moods. Fiorn in Brooklyn, she received part of her education in Mexico, living there for four years, and part at Bloomsburg. being graduated from the high school of that town. Irving College claims the first year of her college four. Light-hearted, carefree and cheerful is ILiizabcth. A smile and a greeting for every one has she as she moves back and forth on the campus. Thus we may say she is always happy. especially when she has Happy. Many are the tales Olevian could tell of Lizzie Kate's mimicry: of frolicsome parties when she rigged up in some antique costume or entertained a few with a graceful Spanish dance, with the aid of a long silken mantilla. As to her other abilities, her tongue is the most adept in rolling out the Spanish pronunciations and equally as proficient in French. In music also has she distinguished herself and the Olevian piano will miss her. we know, for she never misses a practice period. Aside from these, she is known as an engaging conversationalist and can entertain readily whenever the occasion presents itself. Our best wishes go with her as she sets forth in her chosen field, the teaching of the modern languages. Magnificent spectacle of human 'Happiness'.

Helen’s first weeks away from the shelter of her home and family must have been a torture, in the truest sense of the word. f her frequent visits to the meadows may be taken as evidence. Nor could we ever Rain from Helen an adequate explanation of the fact that one clump of grass under a grand old sugar maple did not appear to suffer in the least from the drought of that season. Helen always lightly claims as a reason the separation from her two little sisters, but we are inclined to think that the real source of her worry is beyond our Ken. How often has this tiny maid, by her sudden unchecked shrieks, caused a scramble of girls from a supposed mouse, only to discover that the cause was only another letter! Her instinctive and unobtrusive deeds of kindness and her sympathetic nature soon won for her many close friends. They never hesitate to take their cares to I Ionic. because they arc certain to get a word of encouragement. Her ability to shoulder responsibility was recognizer! by the class when she was appointed the first representative to the Student Council. So well has she worked in that capacity that innumerable other duties are being continually thrust Upon her. Helen is planning for herself a teaching career. Whether she teaches in a large city school, as she says she will, or on u farm, she is sure to attain success and happiness. So wise, so young, so small. Page thirty-one RUBY Norman first made his presence known to the world in the small town of Gilbert. After absorbing all the knowledge dispensed in the schools of his home town and pounding some of this knowledge into the heads of the still younger youth, as a teacher for a year in the Polytechnic School at Gilbert. Pope. as he is best known, decided that there was something that he still did not know, so he journeyed to l ancastcr. After staying at various schools just long enough to decide that they didn't suit his personality, he finally came to Ursinus. He must like it here, for there hasn’t been the hint of a change. Here the Freeland freaks and the class of 1919 welcomed him and he joined with joy their intellectual and social, particularly social, work. Hut his wanderings were not yet over, for soon came war and with the call of war went Pope once more. It was a patriotic service and it was a service rewarded, for as became back to join the class of 1921 there also came the thoughts of Billy. Yes. England surely has charms for Gregory which Gilbert. Lancaster and Philadelphia can't equal. Norman has been a hard worker for Ursinus. a supporter in athletics and intercollegiate work, and he has shone in the orchestra and in many other lines of activity. In his interrupted life at Ursinus he has made many friends who wish him well as he leaves the institution. NORMAN RF.RI.IN GREGORY POPE Class President (4); Historical-Political; Schaff (2. 3. 4).

This fair, young damsel comes from the small town of Frappe. which is but a mile from the college. I lor early education being gained both in England and this country, she was graduated from the Collcgeville High School in 1917 and in the following autumn joined '21. If you study her picture for but a moment you will come to the conclusion that the original of it is rather a puzzling, intelligent, knowledge-seeking individual and you will have judged correctly. To verify this idea you have only to go to Ethics or some other profoundly formidable class, where you will see Dot with questioning eyes and eager lips hard on the pursuit of knowledge. England is the birthplace of this precocious maid and we sometimes believe that it still holds the first place in her affections. although she came to this country at the age of seven. Being a day student. Dot did not develop her extra-curricular activities on the campus as fully as she might have, yet we have discoverer! that she can sing a pretty lay. and. as for dancing, words fail us. We ought to mention as most important of all her talents along literary lines and her adeptness in biological research. Having a strong personality, she will accomplish much in the future, although we know not whether it will be in the field of journalism or that of a biologist. Blest with plain reason and sober sense RUTH IRENE HASSLER SUNNY Modern Language: Zwinglian ( ); Y. W. C. A. (4): Berks County Club (4); I fie Headliners: One of the Three Twins. This is Sunny. She joined our ranks in 1920. having come from Keystone Normal. She is the most dignified looking member of the class, but those of us who really know her have found that beneath that mask of dignity lies noend of mirth. One of her deepest pleasures is to make the Freshmen believe that they must do unheard of things around this institution. She has also made a name for herself as a man-hater, but many have been surprised to know that she really enjoys a conversation with a man once in a while. She is much interested in canoeing, swimming and tennis, and her chief delight is to take an auto and drive it to its limit. Ask her anything about a car and she'll show you that she is as well versed in that line as she is in the major subjects of the M. L. Group. Her long suit, however, is the turning down of invitations for social hour, as Pope can testify. Having been a teacher it is natural to expect that she will be a successful educator, but she says that she is looking for something bigger in life. Just what she means by this is still unknown to us. I lowever. no matter what she undertakes we know that success awaits her and the best wishes go with her. whether she engages in the teaching profession or in a social hour' lasting for a lifetime. My heart's my own. my will is free.” RUBY t CATHERINE ELIZABETH 11 El N DEL ••KIT Class President (2); Mathematical. President (4); .uinglian ( , 2. 3, 4). Vice-President (4); Hockey.

From the very beginning of her college life she proved her success as a leader. Her accomplishments vary from sleep-talking to introducing Freshmen friends into the mysteries of solid geometry and trig. During her Freshman year she proved very efficient as a cheer leader, but there is mo(o)re to be mentioned. The tragic ending of this affair makes it too sad to relate. In her Sophomore year she proved her ability as a canoeist at the K. M.

Besides this came Glee Club and for a time it was difficult to determine whether Kit was going to or coming from Glee Club practice. Kit is a member of the First Four Floor of Shreiner. but space forbids us to enumerate the es rapades into which membership in this quartette led her. The wit and laughter that you see.

Behold before you the mighty Hercules of the class of 1921 . Donald Lawrence Hellfrich. born and reared at Wash..” Pa., sometimes called Bath! Until the arrival of Donald at Ursinus. Bath had been an unheard of place, but now the very atmosphere vibrates with the presence of the man whom the town has sent to our institution. Donald, alias Ty and “Dutch. spent his preparatory days at the Bath High School and at Mcrccrs-burg Academy. It was at the latter institution, however, that he distinguished himself as an athlete, debater, scholar and gentleman. Upon his arrival on the Ursinus campus, in the autumn of 1917. the school realized the value of our renowned Ty. He immediately proceeded to help the class to paint the town grey with the numerals of '21. The same year, through his hard work, he also represented his class by winning a berth on the varsity football team. Donald is by no means behind the lines when the fair sex are in view. As goes the old story concerning spring, so goes TyV heart. When spring comes around Ty regularly falls under the spell of those long spring evenings. He has had such remarkable success with his cases as to almost have a berth among the real, genuine hcartbreakers. But his ventures of this kind we can readily forgive. He has done much for the class of 1921 and all appreciate his hard and untiring labors. Better an hour of bliss than a century of mediocrity.

Some time ago at a date prehistoric at least our Class I listorian is unable to give it to us Collegevillc first saw the demureness of this maiden when she arrived from that obscure place known as Sumneytown -don’t ask the Editor where it is. he doesn't know either! After increasing her intellectual capabilities by a brief course at the Collegevillc I figh School. Lola was graduated just in time to become a member of the class of 1920 at Ursinus. Once in college, although a day student, she rapidly acquired popularity and nicknames. For two years she dug out Litin roots and studied French verbs in our midst, but suddenly we missed her and we discovered that Lolita had decided to try her luck at teaching for a time. No doubt she was greatly influenced in this by the knowledge that by delaying her graduation for a year, she would have the privilege and honor of graduating with the class of 1921. While teaching she kept thoroughly abreast of her work by attending summer sessions and enrolling in the Saturday courses. Finally the autumn of 1920 found her once more at Ursinus in the ranks of '21 and a full-fledged Senior with all the dignity of her schoolmarm days gone. Soon comes graduation and we can only say. The best of luck for you. Lola-lo. Begone dull Care, thou and I shall ne’er agree. Page thirty-seven RUBY EMMA ESTERLY HUYETT M Class Secretary (4); Classical, Schaff, Secretary (• ). Perils County Club; Y. W. C. A.; The Ruby Staff. The town of Birdsboro will be long noted as the birthplace of this charming muid. After being graduated from the Birdsboro High School. Emma’s parents decided that she should pursue a higher course of study and she went to Schuylkill Seminary. Although entering quietly. Emma’s advent caused no little stir in the otherwise uneventful life of the school. After having become a regular Schuylkillitc. she rapidly won her way to popularity, not only among her classmates, but also among her professors. Emma greatly enjoyed the biology trips. Although hothouse flowers arc a little more limited in number than the wilder varieties, she always received her full share and more, due to the. may we say. interest of the instructor. But as the years moved on Emma came to Ursinus and became a member of ’21. She immediately joined the Classical Group and any one may see her struggling with her Greek in the small hours of the morning. Emma is a loyal SchafTite and a member of the Y. W. C. A. She is also an ardent admirer of gymnasium work, especially aesthetic dancing. Nor must her social activities at Ursinus be neglected. Emma was not here more than a week before one could see a certain young man looking with admiring eyes upon this tall, slender coquette, and with the advent of spring, one could see her Saunt(d)cring around the campus during the hour following dinner. Emma's chosen profession is uncertain at present. It is possible she may become famous for her knowledge of Greek. A quiet, fair maiden she seems.

Paul is a proverbial minister's son of a superlative degree. From the time lie stepped out of a grammar school into Penn Charter, thence to (iermantown Academy and finishing his preparatory course at Mcrcersburg. he has stood as a lender in the athletic field, the amateur stage and in the minds of his schoolmates. At Ursinus he has been no less famous. Ever since his Fresh man year, when he made his U in football and baseball for the first time, every game witnesses him starring. Since he has also added basketball honors, playing guard on the team Behold one of Ursinus' few three-letter men' Socially he is unexcelled. From holding up Freshmen to running unsanctioncd dances, from stealing class presidents to annoying the Dean's pleasant dreams, his mischievous nature has been well exhibited.

Immediately he made himself at home and soon his presence was felt in our college life. Especially did he gain popularity among the co-eds. And while some are tardy in coming to chapel. George is bright and early, for he finds great pleasure in his conversations with the one sitting beside him. However, his social activities are not confined to the campus. This is indicated by his very unusual interest in the nursing profession and by his frequent visits to Pottstown. George stands in a class to which but few arc eligible. The Weekly Board of Contrcl recognized this and made him Editor in-Chief. which position he has filled very ably. ’The class of 1921. being conscious of his skill, elected him as an Assistant Editor of the Ruby and as Manager of the Junior Play. His unusual conccntrative power distinguishes him as a debater of no mean ability. Through his strategy he generally manages to have the works run according to his desires. Although he can make enough racket” by shooting hot air. nevertheless he plays well with his racket on the tennis court. The pulpit is his high ambition. We look forward to see his name engraved upon some new roll of fame. A workman that needeth not to be ashamed.” Page forty CLAUDE HARRINGTON KERSHNER SHORTY” Chemical Biological; Zwinglian ( . 2. 3. 4); Zwinglian Orchestra (2. i. 4); College Orchestra ( . 2. 3. 4); Class Athletics (I. 2); Y.

In fact, the majority of the school have neither heard him speak nor have they seen him change at all from his usual stoical expression. But. kind readers, please remember that ancient adage of the old owl in the oak. We call him Shorty because of his lacking nine inches of being six feet tall, but on his diminutive frame he carries a head which demands a 7% hat. Despite his seeming quietness and inactivity, it is known that lie swings a mean drum stick and has wrestled to victory with 150 shocks of corn within the short period of seven hours. Claude came here to study and all the alluring co-eds. the inviting, extra-curricular activities and coaxing pleasures cannot attract this student from his sober pursuits. Shorty is different! When all the school wear white shirts, he parades a colored one and when in turn the rest of the students display colored clothing. Shorty will be found garbed in white. When the world smiles, he frowns and vice versa. Whether he becomes a bolshcvist or a famous chemist you can be sure that our best wishes will accompany him. Thy modesty's a candle to thy merit. Page forty-one CAROLYN ELIZABETH KLINGLER KLING” Classical Secretary (• ). Zwinglian ( . 4). Berks County Club. President ( ); The Headliners; One of the Three Twins. In her short stay with us Kling” has proved herself a staunch and loyal supporter of ’21. She has succeeded by her cvcr-ready wit and her abundance of humor in gamine; a big place for herself. Before entering these halls she attended Blooms-burg Normal and Muhlenberg College, bringing from both places an excellent record. She enlisted in the First Four Floor” division of Shreiner's regiment and has been an active recruit from thestart. We wonder sometimes why she chose the first floor for her abode. Perhaps it is because she doesn't like to climb stairs, for she is not in the least flighty. She is a good authority on all kinds of chronic ailments and her chief restoratives at critical moments arc peppermint and aromatic spirits. Can’t you hear me calling. Caroline? We arc at a loss to say whether the unseen caller is friend F.thelbcrt or the much scanned Anabasis, the ban of the most Greek students, but an apparent delight to this dark-eyed damsel. We often wonder why Kling digs away so industriously and persistently at Greek declensions, but we cannot seem to come to a conclusion. If it is to prepare for life work in China we extend heartiest congratulations and our best wishes for success. Carolyn surely knows how to work, which is half the battle. I have a heart with room for every joy.

Ilndowcd with this smile, a cheery word for all. and an unlimited amount of the good old Ursinus spirit. Churn' has made a host of friends. During his first years he made no attempts to “shine.” However. during his early Sophomore days he felt the need of answering l octor Omwakc’s challenge to embrace your social oppor tunnies.' Lizzie Kate was his first attempt. Chum must have felt that the social hour was too short or that Mrs. I'.rmold kept too close a watch on her girls, for toward the end of the year we find him wearing out the road Ijctwccn College-villc anti Lvansburg. Now the report is circulated that his only fear and the cause for all his rushing around was that Doc franklin would get there first and occupy the front (Kirlor. while Chum and Gertrude had to be content with the kitchen. Chum is a hard and consistent worker, sincere in every detail. His willingness to help on the athletic field has been rewarded by his election to one of the assistant baseball manager ships. As a member of the Classical Group and of the V. M. C. A. Cabinet, we naturally feel that the ministry is the field for Chum to choose for his life work. He enters this undertaking with the best wishes of the class and the school to spur him on. For he that once is good, is ever great. Page forty-three LOUISE MAE KUNKEL LOU Class Secretary ()).

Behold there appears upon the scene this active, smiling young damsel. Louise is one of our cheeriest classmates. Her bright, sunny smile and cheery words have often roused the girls from sadness to gladness. What would be the results of school life without the spirits of such as she to brighten our hearts during dark days? Lou. however, does not spend all of her time as a Pollyanna, for as a student she ranks high. She is a faithful and conscientious worker and lakes a special interest in the modern languages. She is particularly liked by the members of '23 for her kindly interest and advice in all their knotty problems. Ix u was raised” on the farm and her schoolmates certainly appreciate the fact. What is more interesting than to sec “I .ou come from the post office dragging a newly arrived box from home? It is- not rarely that she affords us this pleasure and her generosity always prompts her to give the greater part to her many friends. I3ut the pleasure of sharing the contents of these boxes is but a taste of the pleasures enjoyed by the girls fortunate enough to share in a week-end visit to her home. Lou intends to continue her studies at some higher institution. but intends also to take a brief respite and to teach for a year or two. We know that in cither walk of life, she will be successful, for a host of friends will always gather about her and from the thoroughness of her work here, we know that she will not neglect her tasks in the future.

We next see a descendant of Venus who. after completing his preparatory at the Bangor High School, made his way to Ursinus. As a student. Warner has been interested in the welfare of Ursinus in educational, religious and social lines. Warner believes in a triple alliance, his first year being spent in Free land, hil second in Stine and the remainder in Derr, the home of the preachers, lie has been much interested in athletics, starring especially as captain of the tennis team. Early in his Frosh year a human Claw soon (Closson) took him by the arm and this was the beginning of many enjoyable hours for Warner. Note-writing, telephone calls and regular social hour led to the climax at graduation. Absence, as in the old adage, has only made the heart grow fonder. It may be that all these social activities are the cause of Tops' cliicf-pccularity. his quickly changing moods. Sometimes we find him walking through the halls, finding fault with every one and a few minutes later he will be singing Tell me (Mary) why nights are lonely, tell me why days arc blue!' Coming to more serious points. Tops'' has been a very faithful student in all his relations with his class and the school, for we often see him meditating over Greek or Church History and also engaged in non academic activities. After these four years of collegiate training, we predict that in the near future his life shall speak louder than words can relate. “Though modest, on his unemharassed brow.

Contrary to all the traditions of his family, he entered Ursinus in the fall of 1917. being undecided, as it were, because of the desire of his father for his son to follow in his footsteps, on the one hand, and the wish of his mother for her son to become a minister. College has certainly changed “Mose.” He entered here looking like a real And now. oh! girls!! Very little is known now nor will it ever be found out of the doings of Mose in his Freshman year, for it seemed to us that he spent all of his time tramping between Trappe and College-ville.

Some time between I860 and 1900 Mazie was born in Salem. N. J.. where she grew up as a farmer's daughter. Mazie ever prides herself upon this fact and becomes very indignant when people compare girls to farmers’ daughters. We were entirely unaware of the fact and would certainly never have suspected it. had she not told us. Anyway they live in town now and even Mazie herself acknowledges that she likes it very much better than life on the farm. After being graduated from Salem High School. Mazie chose Ursinus as her future alma mater and great was the excitement when she enrolled as a meek, little Freshman. She was here only a few short weeks when she began to “Carol ' beautifully and she has done so ever since. For two whole years she was seen strolling on the campus every pleasant evening and now she is seldom seen there, and although we had thought for a while she had ceased to “Carol. we found ourselves much mistaken. Mazie is an excellent student, but always has time for fun. We uttribute this to the fact that she has always roomed alone during her entire college career. Her chief characteristic, however, is her love for athletics. It is said that she actually appeared at gym twice in her Junior year and once she was seen on the hockey field. I lowever. she dances divinely and has recently learned to play golf. She says that she is going to teach school, but we are in doubt as to whether she will teach a school or just one person.

In the fall of 1917 the Perkiomcn Flxprcss (?) stopped at College-villc and from it alighted a girl with a smile, a smile that was as much a part of her face you could see at a glance, as her very eyes with their humorous twinkle. In almost no time she had made for herself a niche among lx th the boys and the girls. Gradually from her roommate we learned something of the past of this reticent maid, for the two had been together at Perkiomcn Seminary. Thus it was that we learned that she had been valedictorian of her class, which we could scarcely believe since she was forever cutting up and never seemed to touch a book. However, before more than a few weeks had passed, we saw that she was downright bright bright beyond belief. At the end of her first year with us. she took a vacation to teach the young folks at Pcnnsburg High School. Maybe we weren’t jealous of them! As Sophomores we missed her sadly, for if ever a person had become a happy part of us. she had. But Ann came back to us and back to stay during our Junior year, however, only as a day student. Most of her time, however, was spent at South Hall, her old home. In fact, if her South I fall buddies do not hear Ann’s steps coming down the walk just as they return from breakfast, they feel vaguely as though something were wrong.

In the l cginning of his Sophomore year, he was a member of the S. A. I . C. After the dcmohiliza-lion of this body, he became a boarding student. It seems that the life of a boarding student must have been too strenuous for him. This and the fact that the Day Study is as indispensable to Bill as Bill is to the Day Study, caused him to become a day student in the early days of 1919.

As I lie first half of Thelma's college life during her Freshman year was spent at classes, in the Day Study and on the trolley somewhere between Collegcvillc and Norristown, her classmates did not become acquainted with her as they did with those who were learning the intricacies of a resident student's life. It was after mid-years that she surprised us all by calmly announcing that she was going to live at the college because daily riding on the cars was not conducive to good classroom work. Thelma was at Shreiner but a short time when it was found that she is fond of teasing and is quite proficient in inventing new pranks. During the S. A. T. C. days she helped to fill the ranks of those serving on K. P. duty and learned the art of skipping lightly through the dining room while balancing a tray larger than herself. For two years she was a mcmlxrr of the E.-H. Group, but she finally decided that her life work would be that of a medical missionary and accordingly enrolled in the Chem-Bi. Although she usually maintains that she is not busy, she will generally lie found fingering a dissecting knife or mixing some mysterious concoction in the laboralories. She has proved herself an enthusiastic member of the Student Volunteer Band, attending many of their conferences.

All come to her when in trouble and she is sure to find a solution for every difficulty. Not only is this true of the South Hall girls, but from all the halls they come for her advice. She never says what she intends to do after college -but it is rumored that a certain young man went to Alaska to get rich and when he comes back—well, need we say more? However much we wish Joe this happiness, we regret to sec the sad faces and the bachelors that will result from it.

Last, but not least, as the roll is called, comes Ethelbert; notorious, in that fate has made him both preacher’s boy and prof's son and for the way in which he has triumphed over both these circumstances.

Returning, he at once perceived the high merits of '21 and was joyfully welcomed into its midst. Delightful social hours in Shrciner were the forerunners of similiar hours elsewhere, too numerous to mention. However, space must be found to mention a heroine from the West. 'Nuf said! Time will tell. As a student, he has had a somewhat unfair advantage over us. With the watchful paternal eye preventing the social hour, the rest of us could sneak into the library. He accumulated a store of information the rest of us never found time to gather and from this began a reputation as a writer which now his work verifies.

Page sixty-seven 1922 Class History VV HEN the war clouds were heaviest and all the higher institutions of learning ’ of the nation were concentrated in the task of turning out leaders for America’s armies, the class of 1922 appeared upon the verdant campus. Tradition was laid aside and military discipline and tactics took its place. With the passing of the S. A. T. C.. came hazing and customs. Imbued with the spirit of patience and willingness to serve, in order that we might learn to lead, resulted in us having no difficulty in undergoing this trying period of undergraduate days. Our class banquet was held January 23. 1919. at Kugler’s in Philadelphia, notwithstanding a thwarted attempt of the class of 1921 to abduct our president. We also entertained our sister class, the class of 1920. in the field cage on two memorable occasions. In college sports the class holds no mean place, having contributed varsity material for all the teams. During our Freshman year we lost the basketball and baseball games by close scores, but when we became Sophomores we easily defeated the class of 1923 in football, basketball and baseball. In literary and scholastic work we were no less successful. We are now upper classmen with new responsibilities and clearer ideals. In our undergraduate days we have learned to accept victory and defeat with the same countenance, to cherish our friendships with our honor and to live so that we may teach others the way to success. Ever mindful of our motto. Truth is might, right is law.” the class of the crimson and steel shall go on to compass the highest and best in all endeavors.

Nor was this all. for. mingling with the gayety. one found the expression of high aims and the beginning of real class and college spirit. The Hotel Walton, in Philadelphia, was the scene of our merry-making and the event served to weld 1923 firmly together, ready for the struggles of our first college year. Among these struggles, not the least in importance, were those of athletics. Meeting our rivals of 1922 in football, basketball and baseball, we were forced to yield victory. These games were clean, hard-fought contests and 1923 may well be proud of the fighting spirit exhibited by her boys. We are prouder, however, of the fact that we have contributed so many men of worth to Ursinus varsity and scrub athletic teams. In the spring we entertained the class of 1921 in the field cage. The loyal devotion and co-operation of each member of the class was manifested and. Presto!—the cage was no longer a cage it had been transformed into a Japanese garden— a place of soft light and gay music—a thing of beauty. Freshman year, with its joys and its trials, is over and we return to the campus as Sophomores, with happy memories and many hopes for the future. Facing our new rivals, the class of 1924, in the tug-of-war. we added new laurels by winning two out of three tugs. Nor in this alone, but looking ahead in all things. C onquering and still to conquer. we enter our second year at Ursinus. Page scocnty-eight Sophomore Roll Call Helen Alberta Achenbach .... To love is human to be loved divine.

With the passing of this brutal practice class spirit is given a hypodermic of live consumption germs and allowed to die a natural death. However, it is improbable even after the burial of class spirit that a college senior will permit of an under class-man standing on his level. Realizing the tendency of college Seniors. Juniors, and even Sophomores, to assume a “I-know-more-than-you” attitude and recognizing this as an instinct, a system has been devised to allow said students to maintain their positions, and yet insure the baby class of no real harm. This system is known at Ursinus as at many other institutions as the group system. The group provides for seniority on a more humane and gentile basis. Instead of the customary paddling of yore, a disobedient underclassman re- ceives a shower of tongue-twisting polysyllabic terms and is awed into submission. The result is physically harmless, yet the psychological effect is immediate and conclusive. The groups provide not only for intellectual enjoyment by their set programs but also make an appeal to the social side by reserving a period for informal intercourse. Under the supervision of capable members of the faculty, the groups provide for a closer co-ordination of the mental and the social phases of a student’s life.

F. S. I.indaman was elected the first president, and to him goes the honor of naming the society. 1 feat this time was studying the life of Zwingliand was so impressed with the unselfish devotion of the great reformer to theapostolic teachings and doctrines, for which Ursinus has always stood, that he suggested the new organization to be named after Zwingli. The name was formally adopted October 8. 1870. On February 8. 1889. the society decided to incorporate the organization, and a committee, of which the Rev. I. S. fisher was chairman, was appointed to take the necessary steps toward securing a charter. The charter was granted February 26. 1889. In September, 1892, the society moved to the hall which it now occupies. On Friday evening. March 26. 1920. Zwing celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of its existence. Appropriate exercises were held, at which Zwinglians, young and old. met in order to share the glories and triumphs of their society through the first fifty years of its existence.

They have been investigated and tolerated by the authorities. I lowever. the official seal is withheld. At numerous times during the year festal occasions arc enjoyed. One of these, a picnic in which the young ladies arc invited to participate, is held during the spring term and proves always to be a memorable day.

'22 19 21 Director of Physical Training RALPH MITTERLING “Jack’s main reason for starting as a student at Bloomsburg Normal School was not to become a pedagogue, but rather a big leaguer. Once having a desire for learning aroused, there was nothing able to prevent Mitt going further, so Ursinus welcomed him to her halls. While here, Mittcrling proved his prowess as a football and baseball player. In his Senior year Jack” led the team on the gridiron as captain; and as a baseball player, there have been graduated from this institution but few better than he. After leaving Ursinus. Mitterling played a season with Connie Mack’s famous Athletics, but a desire for more knowledge led him to forsake his boyhood ambition. Springfield College found him on its roster, on the eleven, the nine and on many of its minor teams. I le was graduated from Springfield in 1917. The war began and Jack entered the Air Service. After the armistice a call came to him to return and act as athletic coach to his alma mater. ‘ Mitt responded and. since the fall of 1919. has been doing his best to turn out successful athletic teams and better physically developed men. His work here has been a decided success. Ursinus Athletic Association Athletic activities at Ursinus are in the hands of two bodies, the Alumni Athletic Club, which acts as a sponsor, and the Athletic Committee, which has the actual control. During the past year the Alumni Athletic C lub purchased a tract of land, adjoining Patterson Field, and graded and resurfaced the old field, which is now planted with the best golf-link grass. The cost was $1,500. all of which has been paid but a debt of $570. The Athletic Committee during the past year as usual paid $300 toward the Field Cage debt, reducing the indebtedness to $900. In the course of its routine work, the Committee granted five letters in basketball, ten in baseball and fifteen in football at the conclusion of the 1920 season. The girls of the college have brought before the Committee the matter of awarding letters in “co-ed sports and action upon this will be taken in the near future. The consent of the Board of Directors has been sought to the raising of the student athletic fee from $10 to $1 5 for the furthering of athletics at Ursinus. Recently the Committee has extended the scope of its work by assuming control of the tennis courts and activities, previously in control of a student tennis association. ’age one hundred and twenty-six RUBY ipsx t i r A THF.

Pa., entered Ursinus from Mercersburg Academy, where he had already gained for himself a record along athletic lines, chiefly as captain of the Mercersburg track team. While this was the branch of athletics in which he starred, previous to his arrival at Ursinus. he had become thoroughly proficient in football, baseball and wrestling. Immediately upon coming to Ursinus he showed his ability by making his letter in two sports in his Freshman year. In class athletics he was early chosen as captain by the yearlings. Although called away from the college by the war for a time, he did not give up his interest in sports, but played on a service team. Because of his fighting qualities and brain work he was chosen to captain the 1920 football team. 1920 Schedule Ursinus. 14; Rutgers. 7; New Brunswick. N. J..

Page one hundred and thirty-one RUBY r 4 s 19 U 21 f= 1920 Football Season THE football season of 1920 will go down in the minds of the lovers of the sport at Ursinus as one of ill fortune' and hard luck.’’ At no time during the past number of years was a team so crippled throughout its entire season as was the team of 1920. Accidents occurred before the first game was played and lasted throughout the entire season. With this fact before us we can look upon the past football season through no other eyes except those of favor. Rutgers was defeated by us the first time in ten years in the opening game. It was in this game that the team proved its real worth. Had this been our only victory the season would have had to be proclaimed a successful one. Delaware next appeared on the scene and defeated the Red. Old Gold and Black. 14 to 0. Frankly, overconfidence in this game was the cause of our downfall, little of the spirit which won for us at Rutgers being manifested here. We feel no shame in saying that Bucknell defeated us fairly and squarely. It is only due to Bucknell that we say that theirs was the best team we met throughout the season. In the first home game Gettysburg defeated us by a fluke. The game ending with the score 6 to 0 against us was perhaps the hardest fought of any on the schedule, with the possible exception of the game with franklin and Marshall. Our second victory came at Carlisle. Dickinson being the victim. Isen-berg. who scored the majority of the points throughout the season, scored our only touchdown, running fifty yards through the entire opposing team. Haverford also fell a victim to our onslaught. Here again Isenberg made the only score—a field goal from the thirty-five-yard line. P. M. C. defeated us. 9 to 0. while Franklin and Marshall also scored a victory in our second home game. This was the big game of the season anti naturally the hardest to lose, which we did only by a fluke both F. and M.’s scores being the results of blocked punts. The team which played against Muhlenberg was in the poorest possible condition. Every man on the team was in a weakened condition due to some food poisoning. Thus we review the season of 1920. one of surprises, one of joy. one of sorrow, but without any doubt one of credit. Io Captain Helffrich goes a large share of the credit. Playing in every game he displayed generalship such as is rarely seen on the gridiron. Equally as deservable of credit was the work and untiring attention given the team by Manager E. Warner Lentz. This article would be incomplete if we failed to give credit where it is due. To Coach Mitterling the credit of making the team as successful as it was goes. It was only on account of his undivided interest that he was able to shape a team such as we had out of the green material which presented itself to him during the early days of practice. The prospects of a winning team next year are only fair, but in spite of the dark outlook we know the season will be a successful one. because the spirit of the Red. Old Gold and Black will spur the men to victory. Our best wishes to the coach. Captain Detweiler and the team of 1921. Page one hundred and thirty-two RUBY 4 Captain of Basketball CLARENCE A. PAINE Monk'' entered Ursinus in the fall of 1918. coming from Lebanon High School, where he was a five-letter man. He played on the Lebanon Big l ive. Olivet. Elaine and Monarch teams of his home town. Before entering college Paine had been the mainstay of the Lebanon 1 ligh swimming team and a star backfield man on the gridiron. The Varsity basketball team provided a berth for Monk in his Freshman year. During his Sophomore period he was moved to forward, where he has been starring ever since. Clarence has also made his U in football and was one of the brilliant inficldcrs on the scrub baseball nine. 1919-20 Schedule Dale Ursinus Score Opponents Score Place Dec. 6 13 Umy. of Pcnna. 43 Away Dec. 13 27 Lafayette 28 Away Dec. 18 34 St. Joseph’s 27 Away Dec. 20 66 Hahnemann 28 1 lomc Jan. 8 44 Drexcl 23 Home Jan. 10 19 Washington 9 Home Jan. 14 28 Penn Jr. Varsity 21 1 lomc Jan. 16 37 Drexel 20 Away Jan. 17 3 Delaware 40 Away Jan. 23 34 Muhlenberg 36 Away Jan. 29 25 Crescent Club 34 Away Jan. 30 22 Pratt Institute 23 Away Jan. 31 22 Brooklyn Polytech. 44 Away Feb. 4 24 P.

If spring is anywhere near it is certain that the baseball player will scent it. and he can very shortly be seen warming up with some fellow players, and giving especial attention to the oiling of his faithful mitt of many serviceable seasons. Some baseball men with a more keenly developed sense in detection of the approach of spring, start a workout in the Field C age before the basketball season closes—but to the baseball season of 1920. On account of the reconstruction of Patterson Field, it was necessary to have the baseball diamond on the Collegeville Commons. Although not as good a diamond as the one on Patterson Field, it proved satisfactory, and our home games were as successful as in previous years. The season cannot be said to have been unsuccessful, nor could it be strongly argued that it was a successful one. I here were games when hortune seemed to turn her idolized face away from us. but there were also games when she fairly beamed upon us. Ursinus lost some games, but she also won games, and they usually were the games that we were most anxious to win. Among the victories, were those over Dickinson. F. and M.. Albright. Lebanon Valley and Drexel. Coach Mittcrling did not start the season with plenty of real baseball material, but he had to develop it. and to him should be the credit for the success that we did have. Captain Roy I lefren proved himself to be an alert and faithful captain and capably led the team through this season. Prospects for the 1921 season are bright, and with P. 11. Isenbcrg as captain, the season should be an unusually successful one. Page one hundred and forly-onc Tennis Team E. Warner Lentz. Jr.. '21. Captain Frederick P. Frutchey. ‘22. Manager Harry E.

MacCANN Miss MacCann was graduated from the New Haven School of Physical Culture. Since her coming to Ursinus the athletic life of the girls has widened considerably and it is to her as instigator they owe many present improvements. As coach of hockey and basketball Miss MacCann has established a good reputation by the products she has ably developed. Besides coaching athletics, she has coached some of the dramatic productions, at which she has proved herself also very capable. Another of her numerous tasks is teaching the Junior and Senior Classes in expression. Besides her college duties. Miss MacCann acts as physical instructor in the Collegeville High School. The girls feel deeply indebted to the Ursinus Woman’s Club for making this efficient and well-liked instructor possible. The Girls Athletic Association The Girls' Athletic Association? What? Another of those hypothetical organizations? Such a scathing dismissal might easily have passed as justifiable five years ago. but no one playing fair so regards it today. Io the Ursinus Woman’s Club belongs the honor of preparing the way for the development of this organization. In 1916 the club provided a director of Girls’ Athletics. It was at her suggestion that the Woman’s Athletic Association was organized in the fall of 1919. Through the association intercollegiate hockey, basketball and tennis games have been scheduled. Through it. too. there have been purchased new apparatus and material for gymnasium work. The debts of the association have thus far been met by the girls’ dues paid annually to the Men's Association treasurer. As yet the girls playing on varsity teams have received no official recognition of their athletic ability. Such recognition, however, will, doubtless, be the inevitable outcome of a continued improvement in the intensity and the extensity of girls’ athletics. Quite evidently the Girls' Athletic Association, in consequence of its valiant struggles for existence, is compelling universal attention now and promises emphatically to put girls’ athletics at Ursinus on a plane with girls’ athletics in other colleges.

On the 1919 team she played at halfback position, but her defensive work was so good, she was changed to fullback, where she played a marvelous game. “Marg” is also a good tennis and basketball player, and her ability as a sprinter is not equalled among many of the men of the institution. 1920 Hockey Season Hockey is a sport at Ursinus with an age of only two falls, however, filling the same niche in the girls’ athletic aspirations as football does for the boys. Due to hampering circumstances, such as straitened financial conditions, the handicap of the field and the newness of the game, it had rather a puny infancy. I lowever. this season has witnessed Hockey getting on its feet and with this as a starter great things are expected for its future history. With Miss MacCann as coach a team was picked, which, considering the greenness of the material on hand, put up a good fight. Before the first game the team had had only two weeks of irregular practice and. accordingly, playing a one-man’s game with a fast team, bowed gracefully to a defeat. The tune was changed, however, and if quick improvement was ever noticed, it showed itself when our girls met the same team. Temple, two weeks later on the home field. Grit, tenacity of purpose, saved the day. as it did in all of the succeeding games. The prospects arc very promising for coming seasons. Pace one hundred and forty-five I Hockey Team Agnes R.

HEINDEL Catherine made her debut in athletics at York High School. She came to college with the reputation of being an all-round athlete. “Kit” could swim, skate, play tennis, basketball and hockey. While at Ursinus she has far excelled her excellent reputation. She has starred for three years at basketball and for two at hockey. She displayed so much interest in girls’ athletics, that the co-eds elected her president of their Athletic Association. As its head she has striven valiantly for deserved recognition of this new organization. Girls’ Basketball The girls’ basketball season did not prove as successful as it might have, judging from the resulting scores. Two games with Beechwood were the only ones scheduled, and both ended in a defeat for the Ursinus co-eds. Defeat, however, did not bring daunted spirits and the enthusiasm of the girls never cooled for an instant. This was manifested to a great extent in the interhall games, where Shreiner Hall proved her superiority by overwhelming scores. Such ardor as was exhibited by the basketball enthusiasts cannot help but take root and mean a successful ensuing season. Page one hundred and forty-seven Girls’ Basketball Team Agnes R. MacCann.

Page one hundred and fifty one Ursinus Indoor Sports A I THE suggestion of Handy Wailcs, the Athletic Committee recently decided that football, baseball and games of a like nature were entirely too brutal ' to fit in with the benign influence, so a new set of sports have been devised. They will take the place of physical culture. I lebrew culture and agriculture. The list includes canoeing, tennis (love games alone being played), the masked ball, anaesthetic dancing and music. Special attention will be placed on music and instruction will be given to violinists in the line of bcauing. The following have already been awarded letters. In order to distinguish the letters of these new sports from those of the old brutal ones, all letters in these new athletics will be in pink and sky blue: Vacant Tomlinson Poppy Schlater Lloyd Little Happy Ludwig Benny Arnold Rabbit Sellers Tiie Duke Eleanor Greenover Mary Kirk. Hester Heilman Lizzie Kate Beulah Scholl Ruth Hassler Sary The following were disqualified: Ruth Hebsacker and Bim Dcibler for holding: Charlie Kuhnt and Johnny Klopp for charging: Mose and Helen Boyer for hooking; Ted Arms and Mrs. Ted for tackling around the neck; Flitter for scratching. Baker was disqualified for breaking all these rules and also six more new rules not yet published. Coach Chccvo having resigned, the college is at present without an instructor in this department, but it is rumored that Ty l lclffrich has been prevailed upon to coach his alma mater in this department and will soon commence his new duties.

Ursinus students hie To the soft grcenswardcd campus. For a time their books laid by: And the parting rifts of sunlight. As they linger soft and long. Shed a hallowed gleam of gladness On our merriment and song. Now the glees of old Ursinus Peal across the downy green: From Memorial to Olevian Span the distance far between. And the walls of dear old Freeland The reverberations fling From the Fast Wing to the Doghouse. As our voices loudly ring. Then across the Pcrkiomen The chimings wing their flight. Till beyond the far-flung hilltops They kiss heaven’s dome of light. Then as if they rued their boldness Come the trembling echoes back; And thus end the winged praises Of the Red. Old Gold and Black. Page one hundred and sccenty-onc 4 FOREWORD I. C OMMEND to the special consideration of the student body the following advertisers.
