BADEN Jforetoorb eU Because the four years which we have been privileged to spend together as classmates in college will ever be held as among the most precious of our several lives, we. the class of nineteen twenty-three. have tried in this Ruby to give to our friends, and all friends of Ursinus. a picture of these happy years, with the hope that it may not be unworthy to be placed with those Rubies which have, in the past, glittered and sparkled as gems in the crown of our beloved Alma Mater. nnO OUR dear parents, who. by their untiring efforts and countless sacrifices, have made it possible for us to realize our cherished hopes and ambitions a higher education do we. the class of 1923. dedicate this Ruby. jUcknoUilrbgment 7 Wo tiro indebted to the following for advice and assistance: Art Mr. Wilson Baden Music Miss Dorothy Mentzer £ fj, utip! « 1A U JL? ?

Jfacultp PRESIDENT GEORGE LESLIE OMWAKE For our worthy president we reserve the highest honors. He has labored with unceasing .cal and enthusiasm to promote the welfare of the college in all phases of its activity. As a scholar, lecturer, churchman and educator, he is known throughout the East. His “bilitics are numerous and. as a learned man. he stands foremost. With such a personality at the head of our institution, every student is encouraged to move onward and to avail himself of all the opport uni ties it affords. 1'ruth is the strength anJ the kingdom and the power and the majesty of all ages. DF AN WHORTEN A KLINE The Dean’s pet subject is Birds’ and. in the field of ornithology, he is the best authority in the region. He can tell you on what day. during the last twenty or more years, the first robin of the year has been seen on the campus. And. if you journey with him on one of his crosscountry bird-seeking trips, you will return after a period of immeasurable pleasure and with much-increased knowledge. And. then, to hear him in the classroom, one would conclude that there was no more worthy a study than Latin. For. it is to be remembered, the Dean is a classicist and a strong defender of all that classicism means. His line of argument is most convincing, too. The Dean is a learned man. His abilities arc unlimited. He can preach a wonderful sermon when he wants to: he is a successful and able teacher: he is most interesting and instructive at all times. A bird in the hand is north tuo in the bush.' DR. MATTHEW BEARDWOOD How many students have expressed the wish that they knew as much as Beardy and were as modest as he is in distributing his knowledge! This in itself attests to the high regard in which our eminent chemist is held. But. if further proof is needed, visit one of his classes and feel the respect that is afforded him: not a respect of forced submission, but. rather, of filial devotion. To those who have not had the pleasure of being a student under him we tender our sympathy, for they have lost the opportunity of meeting and learning from one of the best-liked professors on the faculty. Men resemble ihe nods in doing good for iheir fellow-creatures.'' DR. WILLIAM W. BADEN A profound scholar, a humane instructor and a good sport arc terms necessary to characterize this worthy member of our faculty. When Dr. Baden says that Greek is the finest of languages we appreciate the authority of the statement because we feel that it is made by one who knows them all. Our Doctor has his Greek and Latin training well supplemented by a thorough knowledge of the modern languages, as hisSpanish students will testify. Even Sanskrit is a part of his vast store of information. Dr. Baden's varied accomplishments of scholarship and sociability command the respect of all associated with him. Aristotle wrote his creed. Hut Sieg fried wrote ’The Ruby . REV. DR. JAMES I GOOD His name characterizes him well. Whoever has been in his class in Missions or Church History, knows that he is always a good sport. No member of the Brotherhood of Saint Paul will say otherwise, since his annual banquet to that group is one of the best enjoyed events of the year. Dr. Good has made his annual trip to Europe in the interest of the Reformed Church, for the nth time, and we expect he will make it many more times. What is true of his life at Ursinus. applies generally as well. He is a most unselfish, philanthropic bachelor, for whom we have only the greatest of respect. By their fruits ye shall know them. REV. CALVIN D. YOST When we were still green. Professor Yost gave us our first glimpse into the sublime realms of English literature. But. since then his activities have broadened out into other spheres. When we visit Ursinus. a year or so from now. we expect to find him at the chief's desk in the new Memorial Library Building. We ho| c that then, under the more favorable conditions, there will be no need for him to tell some one where to take advantage of his social opportunities. A better librarian and Deutches Ichrcr could not be found anywhere. Those who have heard him preach, know his fine ability as a sky-pilot. A wise man is necer less alone than when alone. MR. RAYMOND B. MUNSON Would you ever imagine this fond parent to be an historical shark”? Well, he is none other than that, and we are proud to announce him as our professor in 1 listory and head of the 1 listorical-Political Group. Aside from his parental duty to Baby Toots.” Prof. Munson strives to lead us through all the bewildering intricacies of world affairs, and the size of all his classes is a good index of the success which he has attained. Ask of any one his opinion of the history courses which he has taken, and. whether he be Senior or Freshman, he will immediately wax eloquent on the merits of those particular courses. Prof. Munson is one of our favorites, and when he tells us to turn to the situation in France. we eagerly respond, for we know from experience the great wealth of information which will soon be in our possession. c is the mildest-mannered man. DR. WILLIAM W. JORDAN Although new to the College last year. Dr. Jordan has well earned his right to be called an Ursinusite.” His duties require that he spend only two days a week on the campus, yet he is full of enthusiasm for the College and takes a lively interest in every phase of student activity. His knowledge of Fnglish Bible is profound and his characteristic open-mindedness makes discussion of religious problems in his class a real help to vital religious thought. As a man. he is respected for his qualities of integrity, uprightness and kindness. Let as thinly lfSS °f men ani more of Cod. MR. PAUL A. MERTZ Just as every important sign on the bulletin board bears the initials P. A. M.. so almost every important phase of college life bears the imprint of Prof. Mertz. Of his extra-curricular duties probably the two biggest enterprises carrier! on by this efficient member of the Ursinus family arc his work as Graduate Manager of Athletics and his Student-grabbing- tours. Every one here, whose presence at the dearest college is due to Mr. Mertz. raise your left hand! Ah. we thought as much. A large majority! Then. too. our supply store owes its existence to his untiring efforts —yes. he's chief clerk there, too and because of his work as professor of Education. In this latter capacity he is quite well liked and. judging by the many successful teachers who have gone into the world after receiving his high quality instruction, he is an A No. 1 prof. Education begins a gentleman, conversation completes him. DR. HOMER SMI TH Members of the English-Historical Group will say that Dr. Smith's talks, whether of literature or of some phase of his own traveling experience, provide one of the most enjoyable features of Group meeting programs. His knowledge of English literature is equalled by his ability to present the subject in an intensely interesting manner, so that his lectures are both instructive and entertaining. He is an authority on Anglo-Saxon as well, and his knowledge of the King-s English and its beginnings, mark him as a genuine scholar. He things as a sage, but feels as a man. DR. CARL V. TOWER His very countenance gives certain evidence that he is a deep thinker. Dr. Tower's exceptional ability to philosophize, psychologize and theologize, identifies him with the host of world-famed thinkers along these lines. Pure joy is difficult to record. In fact, before sheer joy. most of us arc dumb. This explains partly the altogether queer attitude which prevails in most of the classes exposed to Dr. Tower’s heavy shellfire. However, in a word of self-defense, we have but to repeat in unison, and in plain colorless words. Happy, happy thought to be in his class and let it go at that. The man of thought strides deepest and strides sifesl. DR. JOHN W. CI.AWSON We arc ready to testify that only people with analytical minds and keen intellects arc able to play chess well. And. knowing Dr. Clawson as we do. we are certain that in this case he is not cornered. We are sure that his knowledge of the intricacies of the game will not permit him to be cornered in a mere game of chess. Prof. Clawson knows the theories of all forms of Math from A to Z and. as a teacher, he is able to turn the abstract into the concrete through careful explanation and ready examples. He is the able assistant to the Dean as well as the much-respected adviser of the Mathematical Group. Then. too. you may often find him with Jean and we know that she is just as pleased to call him Daddy as we arc to know him as our teacher and adviser. The nuin that blushes is not a brute. DR. EZRA ALLEN Oh. girls, look at the rats! But have no fear as long as Doc is with them, for they have as much awe and respect for him as the majority of those students who have been trained by his methods, which are exacting almost beyond human comprehension. One thing can be assured, that Dr. Allen's facial expression docs not belie his nature. Steel gray eyes always have meant determination and persistence, and his. aided by a thorough knowledge of system, are not an exception to the rule. 1 his trait seems applicable only in the laboratory; for at brief intervals when he is not scientifically preoccupied, his genial personality crops out and it is this that has won him his numerous friends at Ursinus. A man convinced against his will Is of the same opinion still DR. AMMON KERSHNER This is the college physician. He is the first one we have ever had at Ursinus and he really is a good one. Doc's job is to keep us well and. judging by the many happy people who visit him in his bungalow next to the post office, he has well succeeded. Dr. Kcrshncr is a product of Ursinus. a mem-! er of the class of 1912. He has had a varied career since then; spent a year in the U. S. Forestry Service: taught school for two years: lectured on the Swarthmore Chautauqua circuits; secured his medical training at the University of Pennsylvania; and spent a year in the Memorial Hospital in Philadelphia. He is a busy man. dividing his time between his private practice in Norristown, his duties at Ursinus and his work as instructor in the department of Histology at the U. of P. A gootl cause maizes a stout heart and a strong man. MR. PAUL K. EDWARDS I lave you heard of the seven wonders of Ursinus? Here we have the exponent of the seventh wonder-’ Prof. I-Ulwards. guardian of the newly acquired but flourishing E. and B. A. Group. Coming to Ursinus only last September, he has already made many friends here. A college campus seems to be his natural environment since he is the son of President Edwards, of Earlham College, in Indiana. As an important addition to the faculty, to our list of tennis fiends and. as the possessor of a fine baritone voice. Prof. Edwards should prove an asset in many phases of activities at Ursinus. Truth hath a quiet breast. MR. MARTIN W. WITMER It is true, indeed, that life is a battle where, in most cases, the fittest survive. This is shown and proved in composition classes taught by Prof. Witmcr. Any one who enters his classes unprepared or expecting to take a nap. ' belongs to the class of students who do not survive as far as grades arc concerned. But this shows the efficiency and accuracy of his teaching and the work he expects to get from the students. Yet this rather stern man. in the classroom, possesses one of the cheeriest smiles and dispositions to be found. Thus we think of Mr. Witmer as a man who works when he works but who finds time to enter our social life, who boosts the College with 'Sinus pep. who becomes an adviser in “Y and Sunday School and who demands our sincere friendship. Be earnest, life's a ivarfarc. MR. W. R. GAWTHROP A strict disciplinarian and exacting instructor in the classroom. Mr. Gawthrop is possessed of a genial and most sociable mood elsewhere on the campus. In his second year at Ursinus. affiliating himself with several of the extracurricular activities, he has added to himself the respect of the student body. As coach of Schaffs anniversary play this year. Mr. Gaw throp's work has resulted in the staging of one of the society's greatest successes -the production of Sherwood.'’ Aside from his other duties as instructor of chemistry and physics. Mr. Gawthrop finds time to pursue courses in the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School and is the holder of a valuable scholarship there. When on the campus we know him best as another of the faculty tennis fiends, a soccer enthusiast and a golf devotee. lie huilJeJ heller than he netD. MR. VEO F. SMALL Monsieur Small is our professor of French. His classes, always interesting, arc given new-life this year because of his visit to France during the past summer. While in France. Prof. Small had special privileges in travel and instruction because he was awarded the Jusser-and Travelling Fellowship, for study and travel in France, by the University of Pennsylvania. His favorite recreations arc romping with La Petite Mademoiselle and playing tennis, in which sport he excels. The value of Prof. Small to Ursinus may be judged by his size rather than by his name. C'esl un homme a fair moileslc. MISS Cl.AKA E. WALDRON No better quotation could we find, nor one more suitable, than this one which she herself has chosen as the motto to preside over her studio. For. truly, she speaks to us many times, both with her own melodies and in the renditions of musical compositions which her pupils give us. Her ability in interpreting the magic of the staff is truly artistic, but no less artistic is her competence in instructing Ursinus' would-be Paderewskis; for that is where she really shines. Aside from being an able instructress, she presides over the largest girls' dormitory as capably as she docs over the music department and Shreinerites arc proud to call her their own. Melody is the absolute language in which the musician speaks to every heart.'' MISS MADELINE D. ROE Miss Roe is director of physical training and instructor in public speaking for young women, according to the Ursinus Bulletin. But. to us. she is the athletic coach who has built up strong and successful teams in hockey and basketball. Her gym exhibitions and May Day Dances speak for her success as a physical director. And from behind closed doors, wild ravings, in the voices of girls but the language of authors, reveal the diligence, as a result of pressure with which her expression students prepare their assignments. Miss Roe is also principal of the Maples” and more than that, she is a friend to all the girls, aiding and encouraging them in both their curricular and extra-curricular activities. Her step is music and her voice is song. MISS DOROTHY A. MENTZER Every one understands the value of music in the life of man but docs not have the ability to produce harmonious strains and must content themselves by hearing others. Whoever has had the privilege of hearing Miss Mcntzer at the piano has been more than pleased with the understanding and feeling she commands. As instructor in piano Miss Mcntzcr's earnest efforts have brought her success. I ler unfailing generosity with time and talent has given her a place in the hearts of all. and one has only to ask the girls in the hall of which she is principal, to get an idea of the place she holds in their lives and ours. Thy modesty's a candle to thy merit. MISS MARION G. SPANGLER All Ursinusitcs were delighted to learn that this alumna was to lie instructor in voice and in choral singing this year. Her record in the music world is an enviable one. After teaching piano here and in southern colleges. Miss Spangler studied in Berlin for a year. Upon her return she settled in Philadelphia, where her activities have centered ever since. Under her direction the Philadelphia Music Club Chorus. Valley Forge Chapel Choir and Octave Club of Norristown, have had remark able success. To her belongs the honor of originating the Octave Club in 1916. It is her ambition to have mass singing at Ursinus refined to real chorus ensemble. With the hearty response she has had at rehearsals, we can expect her to do big things that will bring back fond memories such as we have of Stabat Mater.-' She has gathered about her a host of music lovers and students drawn by her excellent musical ability and charming personality. Music is a part oj my ttry being COACH ALLISON G. CORNOG And now let's have a loud Throb-ly-o for the coach, a clean, straight, all-round man. who is. first of all. a gentleman. Allie entered the Hall of Fame in athletics through football at Swarthmore. There he made a record as a high scorer and. in his senior year, captained the team. Basketball was another sport in which he wrote his name at the ''Little Quaker-' college. With uncanny accuracy he still sets the example for Ursinus cage men. And in baseball you should see him cover that second sack! He looks like another Eddie Collins. The best way to judge a coach is by the men under him. They all admire and respect him. He knows his game. Hats off to the coach! 'Meanwhile he smokes and laughs al merry laic. mm Claggeg ©oKs y i e V i «S©pk adores P J t AYes d e creu€ -J uV� U ioy s see . e Tv t OV5 N OvV Us'T w V« Creel «. f ■., . • jiev. •• A.

When tracks were blocked with snow; I attempted quite a journey Till the trolleys wouldn’t go. When fate was thrust upon me I turned in a path well worn And found things pretty pleasant About the college dorms. And soon the thrill encompassed me When I saw the beauties here; If I could linger on thought I I'd like to stay a year. So I met the supervisor. And he told me nearly all. He honestly advised me To return the ensuing fall. So. all through a busy summer At the shore and on the ranch. I determined that I’d promote A mental avalanche. The fall of 19 came around. And I was brought to see I hat college life was just the thing 1 or little ones like me. But after several months had passed I broke an unknown rule; They surely tried to make me sore.” But still I stayed in school. Then I quieted my nerves a bit.

A whir of an aeroplane, a cloud of dust, and Lil found herself in Philadelphia for the first time. She liked it very well, andsoshc stayed, keenly enjoying life, until Girls' High claimed her as an alumna— then, behold, another machine, but this time a Lord, rattled her off to Ursinus. Even the jogging of the family touring car did not spoil Lillian's wonderful smile. Indeed, no. we found her smilin' more than ever, and boiling over with athletic ability in every sport imaginable. And soon being elected basketball captain in her Junior year proved this her favorite game, yet the cleverness with which she wielded her hockey stick and her swift serve in tennis were good indications of her superiority in all sports. She did all sorts of things, and did them well—for every one agreed that ns leading lady in the Junior Play, she was a Country Cousin we all should love to have. Thus in every activity about college, whether in dramatics. V. W. C. A. work or athletic association, or other things in which she had a part, they were sure to be a success. Her frequent trips to Philly. her love for dances and Frank ways, made us all suspect that Cupid didn't shoot past Lil cither for in her Freshman days, was there not one from Yonkers deeply smitten? The leadership which has characterized her college years is there to stay. l or. a smile, a keen personality, sound judgment. merry wit and heaps of friends—that's Lil —and could success be uncertain with qualities such as these? She is active, stirring, all afire Could not rest, could not tire To a stone she might have given life! ANNA ADELAIDE TYLER Ann Haddonfield. N. J. English-Historical; Zwinglian. Secretary (I); Y. W.

As one of the famous First Floor Four. she soon showed her ability to keep Shreiner Hall ringing with laughter. Merry, merry Ann with a song on her lips and fun twinkling in her eyes! But Ann is a serious worker. As a faithful member of Zwing and the E.-I I. Group and the class of 1923. she has always showed her willingness to make the most of every opportunity Ann was never athletic, although we know she likes tennis especially loec sets. And that brings us to another phase of Ann's college life. The mail always attracted her both the one who carried it and those who wrote it. Among the boys as well as the girls. Ann is welcome because she is a jolly good comrade and pal Canoeing and dancing have claimed Ann's attention many times during her jaunt through college. Shreiner is always well supplied with music, for playing and singing are some of Ann’s accomplishments. Early in the morning the songs of Princeton ring out. This year, it seems, there will be competition between those of the tiger and the bull dog. Vivacity and interest characterize Anti all the time. With these qualities as body guards, the years to come can only hold good fortune, success and the love of friends for Ann.” Sunshine or any gloomy Jay. HERBERT RICHARD HOWELLS Herbie Cheltenham. Pa.

Rumor has it that the birds ceased their warblings to listen to a new songster when I lerbie made his debut on the campus one sunshiny day in September. 1919. I lis itinerant habits aredoubtless inherited from his father who is a Methodist preacher. However. Herbie occasionally finds time to pay mid-week visits to Ursinus. during which time helms paused long enough to engage in a few avocations. .Some of these arc athletics, public speaking. essay writing. Y. M. C. A. work, and dramatics. Herbie made the football team in his Freshman year and again in his Junior year. but. owing to injuries, was unable to finish out the season. As a baseball player Herbie is a pitcher of no mean ability. In his Junior year, he buttered the leading role in the Junior Class Play. Versatile? Yes! Charming? Yes! Earnest? Yes! Talented? Yes! Is it any wonder that the girls all simper when Herbie is around? A manly form, a dark complexion, two flashing black eyes. and. above all. a head of the thickest black hair, to say nothing of a sunshiny smile beneath an occasional mustache. In just what capacity Herbie will enter after-life (now please don t mistake our meaning) is hard to say; but. whether he sings his way or preaches his way. there can be but one result; his path will be fashioned into a beautiful mosaic of talent, zeal and personality.

From the very first day when this sweet and innocent lass entered Ursinus. she became one of the shining ravsof thcclass. Wccannot decide whether this was due to her characteristic costume, the fine spirit in which she entered athletics, or the pleasant smile which she had for every one. Before going farther we must mention that Claire, later known as Larry, hails from Mincrsvillc she calls it Uunkcy Town —Pa. Whoever it was that invented the athletic cry. “Your pep. your pep. has furnished a good slogan for Claire's school career, for it is her pep that has attained for her. exceptional ability, with the hockey stick, tennis racket and basketlrall. Not only do athletic activities occupy her time, but her interests arc centered along musical lines. ! oth vocal and instrumental. To Zwing she is ever faithful, nor must we forget to mention her loyalty to the rule which permits one to have social hour. In the line of romance Ltrry at first chose to wander by the Brooke. but during her Sophomore and Junior years. Dave” F.rb found an incentive to Hunt-cr. Indeed we always find Larry with the regulars. Not only among the opposite sex does this maiden have a host of friends, but because of her gentle disposition and winning mannerisms, she is liked by all who have learned to know her. One of Claire’s chief hobbies is getting to everything ten minutes late. As to her later life I .arry says she expects to teach for at least one year—physics is her specialty? Whether her sister said she'd better or whether her mother said she had to. is for us to find out. At any rate the world could not help but honor one so loyal and sympathetic to all.

His successes were not like those of his brother, however. Never mind. Buck......I is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all. Like others gone before, he found himself under the persuasive influence of Prof. Munson. So many were lus activities in Munson's group and so fitting to his nature that he was elected to head the H.-P.'s for the Senior year. As a crystallizer of college spirit, advocator of needed reforms and the pusher of the same, he had no equal. So was he recognized as a pep dynamo. In athletics he played the part of the unknown hero end. forward, shortstop, captaining the scrub cagcmcn in Ins Junior year. Another side of his nature found expression in literary activities. In Zwmg his work always had a ready hearing, furthermore, his trusty pen bus gained for him u place on the Weekly Staff. The teaching profession seems to lure this student, enthusiast and thinker. We believe that his love for business and his knowledge of it is such that some day we will find him at the head of the Hunter Hardware Company with his dreams of a love nest realized.

Among the widely famed membersof the crew to join the class of 1923 was one. Esther Irene Hughes by name. The still, small voice made its first claim upon the world in February. The heavens, seemingly, celebrated her birth, for Esther was ushered into this world by a terrific storm. Esther’s wit and humor have always proved a continuous source of amusement to her companions and friends. Since her tendencies have developed along literary lines, she wasted no time in joining the E.-H. Group, and she showed herself to be a loyal student in all of Dr. Smith's English classes. Compositions were never a task for her ingenious mind. Indeed, her thoughts came in such rapid succession that her | cnmanship more often resembled the Egyptian hieroglyphics than the English alphabet. Esther is always ready for adventure and we are sure that on her numerous canoeing trips she toured the Perk so completely that not a spot has been left unexplored. 1 hen the birds are not to be forgotten, for she dearly loved the talks made by the Dean, during the rambles of the Bird Club. Esther intends to take up the teaching profession fora few years at least, but we are afraid she will not be able to withstand the steady onslaught of “Canan for a longer period.

Property Manager (3). Over in England just at the close of the nineteenth century there came into being one who was destined to become one of the most loyal supporters of the class of 1923. He came to America about 1906 and cast his lot with the verdant '23 in the fall of 1919. True to the primary purpose for which one comes to college. Art has proved himself a student without being a grind. He has always stood high in his class work, and lived up to his reputation for honor, which came with him from Brown Preparatory School. He was with us but a short time when his ability as a warbler was discovered. During his four years with us he has been closely identified with all things musical and has distinguished himself along that line upon many occasions. His ability is not confined to music, however, for he has contributed much to social life on the college campus. He is a talented speaker and a promising leader of men. In spite of a handicap in size. Art is quite an athlete. Baseball is his game of games. I le assisted in winning some of the victories which were credited to the successful season of 1922. We feel that Art has proved himself a true man. He has met with many serious obstacles during his college course, but has overcome them all. and is still with our class. All his qualities cannot but be fruitful and we predict for him the highest degree of success. Good goods comes in small packages. CAROLINE BARTON McBLAIN Carol ” Patsy York. Pa.

It is with the deepest pleasure that we look back over four happy years spent in those dear old college days The things that stand uppermost in our minds are the friendships we have made. Carol chose to cast her lot with us after a year of teaching in a school near York. It has been a rare privilege for those of us who have been fortunate enough to be associated with her. to really learn to know her. Carol is true-blue and lives up to her high ideals. Her Christian character is of the highest type. Patsy, as we often call her. has been an active member of the Glee Club. Y. W. and SchafT. as well as a thorough student of English and I hstory offered in Dr Smith's group. Besides, in her leisure hours, she finds time for tennis. Will we ever forget the queenly grace with which she portrayed her part on the stage, in the play. If I Were King ? “Carol also participated in another of Schaff's anniversary plays as well as in the Junior Play. As an all-round girl of the class of 1923. Carol has spun a web of affection around all those who know her and it is our sincerest wishes that we extend to her for success in the more serious work of life.

From the very beginning, he let folks know that he wanted what he wanted when he wanted it. and that is what put ‘‘Houckic where he is. As a high school student. Karl was a shining light, being graduated from the Reading High School for Boys with honors, and winning the Ursinus scholarship at that institution. During his first year at Ursinus. Houckic continued studying diligently. However, since he became a man. he has put aside childish things, devoting the evening hours to more important matters, especially the nocturnal meetings of the Diamond Club. Do not. dear reader, think that these are the extent of Karl’s activities, for such is not the case. As an athlete he has made a good showing in interclass games. But only if the Ursinus track is finished this year will Houck come into his own. since track is his specialty. As a dramatist, he is also quite prominent, having had an important part in Schaff and Junior Plays. In musical and social circles. F.. K is a lion. For three years he went Carolyn. but as the chill north breeze was bard on his vocal organ he went south for a season. What is his ambition? Well, he is planning to enter the field of surgery.

Isit some beautiful bird, flitting among the trees surrounding Olevian. or is it the voice of one of its fair inhabitants? It is the latter. Pretty Verna (because she is pretty) is noted for her whistling. Many and many a time she has had the student body coax her to whistle, just once more. Best of all she does, because Verna believes that God gives talents to people, not for themselves alone, but for the benefit of their fellow men. After completing her secondary education at Birdsboro High School. Verna decided to go further in her pursuit of knowledge. I he chase leading to Obcrlin. she remained there two years, and then -she never told us why chose Ursinus as her Alma Mater. And we re glad. Verna can not only whistle, but she can do many other things. She sings, plays a ukc piano and trombone, and is a charming conversationalist. Verna is not a one-sided girl. She believes in a fair division of work and play. Social activities have her wholehearted support, just as mental ones do. This blushing maiden is a loyal member of each organization to which she belongs, and is always willing and ready to do her share. Just now she expects to teach and we're sure that whether it be that or some other profession, she will succeed. ''To be forever an influence, a memory, a goal.' FREDERICK NELSEN SCHLEGEI.

Nelsen is the 1923 representative from Tamaqua. but is far different from the type of man that is produced, as a rule, in that region. He entered Ursinus with a fixed set of ideals, very becoming to his chief aim in life the ministry from which ideals he has not allowed himself to deviate. During his four years at Ursinus. Nelsen has participated in the academic, social and religious activities. These have brought him personal honor, it is true, but a generous portion of the benefits have been reaped by his class and his school Especially has his ability been evidenced in his recent connection with the Y. M. C. A. On the cabinet for the first time, in his Junior year, he made a hit in the work given to his committee that of deputation. He kept this record throughout the year, a record not only enviable, but one which will prove a worthy aim for those who arc to follow him in that work. His activities at Ursinus culminated in the highest office possible for a member of the Senior Class to hold: namely, the editorship of the Ursinus Weekly. We predict for him some high position in religious circles, and with him go the best wishes of the class of 1923. ‘Thai life is long which answers life's great end.

Walking through the halls at the side of a certain blue-eyed damsel from Shillington. one would hear the Spanish students greet her as Que linda” and justly so. Que linda (or Linda to non-Spanish students), tall, stately, precocious and with a heavy crop of bangs, arrived at Ursinus with a newly given Kutztown diploma. Her home residence at that time was Geiger's Mills, but. since 1919.she has become a native of first. Mohnton. and lastly. Shillington. Linda brought with her a true innate love of nature -of birds and flowers. She was the first one to receive an I I. C. for hiking 100 miles. She can ride a horse at break neck speed and if Ursinus becomes somewhat of a riding academy, it can erect a monument to Linda as the instigator. On the hockey field, she has likewise shone among Ursinus bright lights, making the team in her Junior year. In the social sphere. Linda has been traveling “Up ward since her Sophomore days. However.

From thefirstday of school in September, 1919. when the tug-of-war was being waged. “Milly began shouting for Ursinus. The enthusiasm and vigor with which she has entered upon every task before her. is known to every one. whether it be for her class, society, athletics or Ursinus. Milly has taken part in Ursinus athletics with the same enthusiasm she displays in every thing she undertakes. As captain of the basketball team and a member of the hockey team, she has maintained her standard. In her Junior year. Schaff presented When Knighthood Was in Flower. and in this Milly made for herself a name, by playing in a most distinguished manner, the role of Mary Tudor. In the Junior Class Play, she did as well in presenting the character of Eleanor Howitt. Her dramatic ability is without a doubt of remarkable note, and it is most certain that some day we shall read of her in the theatrical magazines. As a member of the Chemical-Biological Group. Milly of course delights in spending half of her time in the lab cutting cats and dreaming of the future when she will be working on a stiff.” Yes. she says that she is going to Medical School, but we have our doubts.

We at Ursinus have learned to associate the 22nd of February with the 30th of June, because they suggest events which arc so different. F ebruary the 22nd marks the birthday of the Father of our Country. of one who excelled as a statesman and a warrior and of one whose veracity was never questioned. June 30. 1901, was one of the blackest in the history of our country. It was on that day. when all Pottstown was trembling in the throes of a thunderstorm, with trees crashing, lightning flashing and thunder roaring, that our dark-haired Coxe first made his deep bass voice heard above the din. Babyhood grew into childhood, childhood blossomed into manFiood and we find Coxe at Ursinus. Asa Freshman, lie broke into the elite society of Ursinus by conducting an underground railway between Freeland and Shreiner Halls. This taste of society seemed to have left a yearning for something bigger and better, and he set out to trap for big game. He is always seeking new fields to conquer. Daniel is also interested in athletics, representing Ursinus on tlic football field and on the basketball floor. His chief interest, however, is in biology, not only because he expects to study medicine, but well. tFic lab holds a certain charm for him. Though his interests now are varied, we know they will widen still more until, as a great surgeon, he will be interested in everybody with whom he is brought in contact and will heal battered Fiearts with his smile and battered bodies with his touch.

In both places she is the same brown-eyed, curly-headed girl with a cheerful smile and sweet personality. Dick expects to live only about seventy or eighty years on this good old earth, so she is taking advantage of her short stay by dancing, singing and (icing generally happy. Every one likes her because she is so natural. She forgets herself and makes others forget themselves by reciting anything from funny child tales to classics. The first word that came from Dick's mouth was Hark! and that will be the last word she will say before she steps into the next world. In the meantime. Good Hoop.” You’re kidding the public and many such expressions will have their turn. Dick also has some business ability and has shown the same during her college course. Let any young man who may happen to think seriously of Dick's hand take our warning.

This famous conflagration broke out in 1901 and has been burning with an intensity seven times fTester than the fires of Hades ever since. But ’ottstown was not large enough to contain such an inferno, so in the fall of !9l9Ursinus must needs l c consumed and the Dean's worries and trials increased. The already glowing embers were checked the first year. However, innumerable smaller flames kept them smoldering, until last year they burst forth anew, fanned by winds from South. The flames, however, have exceptional qualities, for rising above the fire, we see the good works performed by this mighty individual. During his Sophomore year he safely piloted the class of 1923. He has gallantly managed the football team, has done much to make the Weekly a paying proposition and spends his leisure time trying to impart his knowledge of chemistry to the Freshmen. But. worthy readers, from the above dissertation as to our protege’s merits, do not infer that he finds it difficult to live on “twenty-four hours a day. As a matter of fact his time is lucratively spent in performance of Walter Camp’s celebrated daily dozen to lengthen his abbreviated stature, and in discussing world problems with his friends. The inevitable outcome of the efforts of this versatile young man will undoubtedly be rewarded by a most successful and worthwhile future.

Among St. Nick's numerous gifts came Joncsy” just in time to enter into the various festivities and cclc-brationsof the day. I he remarkable fact is not that she arrived, but that she arrived on time! As the years rolled on. Joncsy. like the rest of the younger generation of the above-mentioncl metropolis, was inflicted with the educational process. The spring of 1919 found her a graduate of Slatington I hgh School, ready to meander Ursi-nusward with the rest of the crew. The pinnacle of Irene's fame was reached in her Junior year at the time of the Shrcincr fire. Merc we are convinced of both her superior dramatic and acrobatic abilities. Reporters and other famous personages gathered to confer with her and for a time her many friends were distracted with the fear that she would leave the benign influence and enter the realms of movicland. Among the outdoor sports which claim Jonesv’s interest are hockey and canoeing, especially the latter. Her expeditions were a 2-in-1 affair, land and naval forces combined. In all seriousness, however, she is a student and has many aptitudes and abilities. She is intensely interested in art and has given us many evidences of her talent along this line. Joncsy is planning to serve society by teaching history in secondary schools. I he time to be devoted to the work she predicts will be four years.

As many other good students journeyed to Ursinus for their education. Ruth followed their path. The first night in the Maples, she was baptized by the Sophomores and given the name of Skeesicks.” Her consistent fight when playing hockey almost won for her a U. had not some one attacked her ankle. As for tennis, she played many a game with “Bill or Deal. The Present.

Baden (or Boots ) had somehow decided, though he traveled through fourteen states to get there. U|x n Collcgcville to complete his high school days. When '23 first gathered under the benign influence. this tall, dark man became a strong personality in college activities. As an enthusiastic Math Croup member, he has ofttimes graced the programs in clever capacities. Electricity has been his favorite subject and those who have heard the various weird noises and seen blinking lights in Zwing at Hallowe'en cannot forget their deep spooky” effect. Not only has he been loyal to Zwing. but to his class, and at Junior Play time his electrical ability was again brilliantly displayed. Though calculus and electricity did take some of his hours, yet. where there is ability, originality. wit. cleverness and a sound mind, there is a man. Because of these characteristics he was elected editor of the Ruby. Resembling another member of his family, he loves the out-of-doors and so he became captain of the track team. It has been whisjjercd that Baden is no “mean man at the shot-put.

Unlike the rest of us. she soon became distinguished by her musical talent while we remained in the background.

But just because “Fran loves music does not mean that she hasn’t other interests. She is a great hiker and hopes to complete her 100 miles this year Another hobby of Fran’s is expression class, and many are the talcs we hear of her there.

Up along the beautiful Perkiomcn. not fur away from the halls of Ursinus. there is a little town called Ironbridgc. This town and the bridge are familiar to most students of Ursinus. for most of them have sat on the railing and looked cither into the depth of the Perk” or into the depth of blue (eyes). In this town of fame a child was born; they called him Daniel. Not that this locality resembled a lion's den. but because this name was characteristic of the lad. After completing his high school work. Dan selected Ursinus as his place for future activity. He came, determined to do his best and. to the best of our knowledge, never wavered from the path of duty. His success is due to his determination to succeed. That he will make a name for himself in the world goes without questioning unless some fair dame should turn him away from his purposes. Dan is held in high esteem by both his classmates and the members of the faculty. That he is esteemed by more than these goes without saying, for how could such a specimen escape the clutches of the cvcr-vigilant scx We hope that he will not attempt to travel the way of life alone. Dare to be a Daniel. classmate, for this is the spirit of '23. ” live for those tvho love me. Whose hearts arc kind and true. 3ln fflrmoriam ROBERT JAMES JOHNSTON Torresdale. Pa. I icre is a man whose name I he class of 1923 is proud to place upon her roll. He was born during Cleveland's administration in 1893 in Frankford. Pa. “Bob'' received his preparatory work at the following institutions: Central I ligh School. Spring Garden Institute. Temple Seminary and Brown Preparatory School, attending the latter to review his preparatory work after being out of school for ten years. He deserved much credit for continuing his education after spending such a long period of time away from his studies, working as a laborer, carpenter, salesman, electrician, assistant manager, etc. Bob's’’ first few days on the campus marked him as a Samson.’ The Freshmen selected him as an anchor man to uphold their class in the tug-of-war. I lis 196 pounds of bone and muscle obtained for him much praise in the football world. In the classroom he was known as an cver-carncst worker F3oth Dr. Baden and Dean Kline ranked him as one of their best students in Greek and Latin. He was preparing for the ministry, in which profession he intended to answer the call to work asa religious leader among the lumbermen of theCanadian Wilds. However, the Great Almighty, satisfied with his noble endeavors and attainment of perfection in physic and character, called him from our midst into the Great Beyond on January 17. 1923. Johnston's sudden death rings out to us. of the class of 1923. as the noblest challenge to a deeper consecration of our lives and purposes, in accord with the highest ideals of our Saviour.

President (4): Weekly Staff (3. 4): Ruby Staff. vuCtT Once upon a time, amid the roarings and wrestlings of New York City, a mischievous cherub began her earthly career. To quote from one story: The child was named Margaret Emma Susan Frutchey.” and immediately began to display a fine sense of humor by succumbing to a fit of giggling while she repeated the remarkable words. What’s in a name? We had heard accounts of her good work in the schools of New York City and the High School at Bangor. Pa., but when she landed at Ursinus in the year 1919. we realized that the half had not been told.” Even in those days of grccnity. she appeared to us as n practical young woman with u strength of mind and purpose that some older folks might have envied. But we who knew Peg” did not envy her abilities, we only admired them. And when she was placed in the position of Y. W. C. A. president, she became a guiding force in our school while to the Weekly Staff she was an invaluable addition. But. dear readers! This was not the limit of her abilities. Of conversation she was a master, since she could talk intelligently for any length of time, to any one. at any place, and upon any subject. In proof of this statement, we can furnish references. Thus, laughing, working and talking, we lived through four happy years at Ursinus. In June of 1923 we said our good-byes and went our ways. Peggy stepped into the world and our best wishes went with her. Memoirs of Ursinus. Pub. 20(X) A. I). Still loving, song, but loving more Life of which song is made. L ARTHUR FRETZ Art Reading. Pa.

Here is the song bird with a tremulous tenor that makes the campus and dorms reverberate to his song. This warbler first appeared to the world’s longing gaze in Reading during the early part of the twentieth century. Art attended the Reading High School for Boys and this may in part account for his affability toward the op|x site sex. This dark-haired chap is very fond of Greek: in fact, he has a tendency at all times to be Bookie.” With all his other achievements, he has acquired a vast store of knowledge along culinary lines. Indeed, he has had the singular experience of being a first-class camp cook. It has been rumored that the kitchen management is considering placing him as soon as he has completed his collegiate work, and even if this may not materialize, we feel sure that with this knowledge at his command, he will make an ideal husband for some pleasure-seeking wife. Art is now preparing for the ministry and spends quite a bit of his time in Derr Hall, trying to assume the unnatural role of a sober clergyman. Although this seems a bit unnatural. we realize that Frctzie is not always the rollicking humorist. As a student volunteer he will some day represent 1923 on the foreign field, and with his earnestness and his cheery song he will bear his part well. And Heaven had wanted one immortal song.” tkJL ■ T ETHEL ADELINE FOX Foxy Parkerford. Pa. Mathematical: Schaff. Secretary (3); Y. W. C. A. (2. 3. 4): Second Prize, Junior Oratorical Contest (3). Mere observation makes it possible to believe that Ethel resides near a flower garden, by the way she retains the rose in her cheeks: not to mention the hints of disgust she casts from time to time at bachelors’ buttons. Ethel joined the class of 1923 a year later than her classmates. By means of summer sessions and instinctive skill, she surely stands a chance for receiving some of the class laurels. Besides being the progenitor of a goodly number of Olcvian's subjects of conversation. Ethel is also the famous originator of Prof. Mertz's favorite exemplified joke, harped on” to excess in every education class. To counteract Foxy’s” many virtues, she has one serious fault, which most of us can overlook when we understand conditions in part. She is. has been and ever will be in love! What effect docs this produce? Oh. it necessitates a virtue to overcome forgetfulness Hyman’s faithful prophet! Nevertheless. Parkerford cannot do without Ethel for more than a week at a time. Tis plain to be seen that there are others who appreciate this damsel's originality, her social disposition and her unceasing love for conversation, besides those who know her at school. Our fondness for her chattering equals her fondness for rustling.” Taking everything into consideration, is there one who doesn't Prizcr”?

This time, instead of the wise men hurrying to the side of the new-born babe, the star announced the arrival of a wise man himself. As near as we can ascertain. Harrisburg was very proud of this native son. and at once started to train him for the capitol. Penbrook High could not hold him long, and so a berth was provided in the Harrisburg Academy. long since made famous by this Apollo of the modern age. Ursinus next claimed his attention and his record here corroborates the statements made above. Still. Snyder has been more or less of a puzzle at Ursinus. due to his hands-off policy toward the fair sex. During his four years at this institution. Bill” has been honored with nearly every office of any importance. Nor have these offices been along one specific line, for we find him on the lioards of control of athletics, student government and Zwing. With this knowledge, and his high scholastic records, can there be any doubt in the minds of all of us. that the Ursinus faculty selected the right man to represent our school in the Rhodes Scholarship examinations for Oxford University.

Has anything worthwhile been done at Ursinus during our lour years in which she has not had a part? Not much. She has done that part well, carried it through with great success. As a Junior she started a brotherhood no. not a large organization. It had and has now only two members. Is it successful?” Ask ''Buck''! Grossic. though a resident of Malvern, was graduated from Tredylfrin-Ensttown High School. She taught for a year before she decided to enter Ursinus. It was better so. for what would we have done without her in our class of 1923? I-essons have never worried Grossic. If she didn't like an author's opinion she'd use one of her own. Her greatest fault is one common to all students—procrastination. Endowed with natural ability and genius, she waits, and sometimes for a long while, for an inspiration. When it comes, regardless of what is happening around her. Grossie writes, and writes some more until she has ready for our inspection one of her delightful original stories.

Before attending Ursinus. Shorty was a student at the School of Industrial Arts in 'I renton. and also at Peddie Institute. There he began his football career, which carried him through the last named institution and landed him a position on the Ursinus eleven in his Freshman year With the exception of his junior year, when a broken shoulder kept him on the sidelines. Shorty has always been a mainstay on the team and well deserved the captaincy during his Senior year. In class football, also. Shorty was usually the works However. Miller also participated in all campus activities. The S'. M. C. A. Cabinet. Zwing and the Chem-Bi Group have found in Shorty a most earnest, enthusiastic worker. Debating is one of his strong points, as is evidenced by his many appearances in this capacity. The staffs of the various college publications have always found Shorty among their numlicr and his dramatic ability gave him a part in the Junior Play. Added to all these qualities, he is a real student. His class work is as thorough as his other activities. Shorty usually has found time to drop in at Shreiner for a brief social sojourn and the monthly dances have always found him Johnny-on-the-spot. That he will be a success in his contemplated career, that of medicine, is a foregone conclusion. And the host of friends which Shorty has. can only wish for him the attainment of his highest ideals. A treat is better than a little aim.” A girl, so sweet, so snappy, that in a way she reminds us of those little mints which are always found by brooks and springs.

Being close to nature, she learned many things from that perfect teacher and many are the virtues she came to possess. Then to beauty of mind, nature added charm of body, for we sec that the star in the left hind foot of the great bear lends its sparkle to her eye. the dent in the face of the man in the moon reflects its dimple in her cheek, and the smile of the setting sun lingers on her face. And. we must not forget to add that she is usually setting a smile for some son. Kit manages to have a ready answer for every question that she may be asked in the classroom, in spite of the fact that most of her time is spent out-of-doors. She is an ardent supporter of athletics and played with the class hockey team for two years. Furthermore, she is an excellent reader and Zwing frequently calls upon her to display this talent. In proof of her marked ability to read, she captured the first prize at the Freshman Declamation Contest. Every one of us has found Kit” a good pal. With her bright smile and quick wit she is sure of success in anything she may undertake. The best of everything to you. Kit ! So lovely, yet so arch, so full of mirth.

He isa first-class business man and would Serve as an example for many who find it impossible to arrange their work so that they may be able to do everything at hand and have just a little time for uncertain and extra-curricular activities. In addition to his many school connections, he is one of our foremost student preachers. He holds a charge near here, composed of two churches, where he docs a great deal of pastoral work.

She was graduated from Palmerton High School at the youthful age of 14 years, and two years later from East Stroudsburg Normal School. She decided to continue her training at college and chose Ursinus. the fates aiding her by choosing the class of 1923. Although she enrolled as a Sophomore, she proved her efficiency in conservation of limited time, for she has improved upon all established extra-curricular activities with activities of her own construction. Nevetheless. I lelen has maintained a well-balanced program. She keeps her lessons well prepared and is very ambitious alxiut some studies, such as math and physics. The part of her time not devoted to study. Helen divides equally among dancing, social hour, athletics, music, dramatics, keeping stunt books and posting signs on her door This list shows the diversity of her talents, and Helen is not wasteful. She carefully cultivates each one of them. There is no doubt about Helen's ability as a musician. She can sing and she can play. Although she practices for her lesson on the piano one hour per day. as scheduled, she fills in another hour, at evening, with the more comprehensible music, called “jazz. and thereby keeps the hall well informed on the most popular music. Helen is a loyal member of everything to which she belongs, and an earnest worker in every activity in which she takes a part. She boosts her college everywhere, she works untiringly for all class functions, she gives her best wit to group meetings, and the best of her musical and dramatic ability to Zwing. to say nothing of her originalities. Her ambition, she states, is to teach math and physics at least for a while. Although we suspect the while may be short, still, knowing the girl, we predict success.

The latter means just the sight of him: the proof came when he appeared on the floor of Thompson Field Cage.

Although coming hcrcut mid-years in 1922. he is now of Ursinus’ few three-letter men. playing at forward in basketball, his favorite sport: at third base on the baseball team, and at end on the football squad. As for his activities previous to entering Ursinus. he was graduated from Norristown High School in 1918. having been one of its leading athletes and musicians. He then journeyed to State College for two years, becoming a member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity. Both at State and at Ursinus his scholastic work proved to be of high quality his chief interests being in economics. I hus. together with registering a smile continually.

Phoebe! Phoebe!”? Wonder what it means? Well. Olevian girls will tell you that to them this call has particular significance, for the Olevian “Phoebe-bird is a very important part of the cottage on the west campus. Where she got her nickname no one knows, but at any rate it seems to be very appropriate, for Erma possesses many of the characteristics of her prototype in that she is shy and retiring, yet with a certain sturdy in le| endencc of thought and action. Phoebe is the ideal confidant how many of us have told her our troubles and were sure of receiving sympathy! One of the traits we admire most is her insistence in the face of almost overwhelming odds. When ill health forced her to leave us in her Sophomore year, she did not surrender her hopes, for with two summer sessions and very heavy schedules in her Junior and .Senior years, she has been enabled to be numbered with her original class dear '23. We arc proud of her record and of the loyalty which actuated her. I would not be fair to omit mention of the central point in Erma's character the fine idealism and lofty aims which have guided her conduct. Her desire for Chem-Bi courses is due to her belief that these present a rich field for service to mankind. These ideals, if pursued with the zealous perscrvcrance which has characterized her college work, will certainly continue to make her life worth while, wherever its course may lie. Woman's natural mission is to ore. to love but one. to love always. HOWARD H. MOWCOMBER Mow Elk land. Pa. Chemical-Biological; Y. M. C. A (I. 2. 3. 4): SchafT (I. 2. 3. 4); Student Council (3).

Since then, however, her many duties, social as well as Otherwise, have been so numerous that the reducing process which followed was almost as astonishing. During her Junior year her interest in the opposite sex was developed by long distance. Princeton songs were her favorites at this time and a Brown black and orange pillow was much in evidence.

Ursinusentered on her roll the name of a young man whose many qualities merit him to have a very honorable mention in this illustrious volume. If we look at him from the salubrious point of view, we see a virile young man who is “hard enough to get a place on the class football team in his Sophomore year, regardless of his utter inexperience in this man's sport. “Mike’’ showed his spirit by working hard in the scrimmage this last season in order to keep Ursinus on the map. Mike ia a zealous person in all his work. Not only docs he manifest his zeal in athletics, but he shows similar steadfastness in his school pursuits. 1-atin and Creek arc his hobbies. He was captivated in his Sophomore year by the sublime grandeur of Horace's Odes, at which time lie decided to be a persistent Latin student Many people think of Mike” as a Hercules. Still others think of him as a diligent student, but those who know the element of kindness which is enveloped in his nature, think of him as a true friend. The fair ones have not received very much of Mike's time. He seems to be very kindly disposed toward them, but his intellectual pursuits have handicapped him somewhat. His great ambition is to be a model husband. Mike” has many abilities and uses them all with great enthusiasm.

We do not know what town to blame for being Claire's birthplace, but Moscow. Scranton. P'-burg. and the rural dis tricts of Phoenixville have all claimed her as a resi dent at some time.

Yet C laire often wonders why everything that occurs at the Maples is attributed to her.

Claire is not only mischievous, but both clever and original in all things she undertakes. Even a book review is given in such a novel and pleasing manner that the society is taken by storm. I he opposite sex have not received much encouragement, but we predict a change. Claire is a friend to all the boys and some day one of them will surely break through her reserve and demand to lie a special friend. Pepper has the courage of her convictions even when it comes to physical examinations. Sometimes we hear her say that it is her ambition to become a true anarchist. Whether this be to carry out one of her convictions or just her desire to be different, we do not know. It is our firm ficlicf that Claire will excel in whatever profession she finally chooses, whether it lie that of a surgeon, legal practitioner, osteopath or journalist. Well.

Charlie. as he is familiarly known, made his timely arrival into this work! at Sandy Mill, a prosperous little community in Perry County. Reared amidst the smell of new-mown hay and lulled to sleep at night by the whispering pines, he became a thoughtful, meditative person. As he grew older, hefound himself possessed of a desire to pursue a higher education, soheenrolled at Mercersburg Academy. After spending four years at this institution, he entered Ursinus ns one of 1923‘s staunch supporters. The class of 1923 considers itself very fortunate in being able to number him among her loyal workers, for she has always found him true-blue under every circumstance. Me apparently finds little time for social duties at Ursinus. but in his own community things are reversed. The photograph which has been in his possession for four years proves it. Selfishness can never lay claim to Charlie, for he is open-hearted, with a sympathetic tendency which at times becomes predominate in his character. I fe has proved himself to be an honorable classmate and a true and sincere friend. We predict for him a successful career in his chosen field of ministerial activity. Ready for the best that life has to offer him and worthy of whatever good may be his. we send him on his way with the fondest hopes and best wishes for the future. Not noisy but uuclds a racket.

This maiden doesn’t look as though she were naturally given to meditation and sadness, docs she? Nor are her looks deceiving, for wherever ‘'Sally’’ is. gloom isn't. She always says.

In every one of her mannerisms is exhibited the s|H ntaneous movements of a jovial disposition which puts every one in good humor. Phocnixville High School is her Alma Mater -the school where so many famous Ursinus prodigies have received their early mental and social (?) development, and because of this fact we feel confident of her fitness to accept fame when it comes, as gracefully as have her predecessors. Iiccausc of Sara's refined tastes and love for the arts, she chose Ursinus as her next stepping stone to fame and fortune, and next to making A's” in English and history, her ambitions have been mostly centered in the strict participations of all social privileges. Yes! she has even hitched her wagon to a s-tar (bell). “Sally loves to sleep and as regular as clock work comes the sleepy drone. To breakfast, or not to breakfast—that is the question. Nature has rightfully endowed Sally with many high ideals and lofty aspirations, but one outstanding feature of her character is her loyalty, the influence of which is discernible in her most trifling acts. Loyal to Zwing. loyal to her class and loyal to her school—that’s Sara. Because of this fine quality and others too numerous to mention we can rest assured that whether the stars that guide her destiny shall call her into fields of poetry, philosophy, teaching or that noblest of professions a successful housewife she can only come out on the very top rung of the ladder.

He suddenly discovered that New Jersey was quite as wonderful as Pennsylvania, and grew interested in the various aspects of the teaching profession, particularly the vacations and leisure hours of the so-called ‘school marms. Bill” thinks the manipulation of a ‘'tipsy' canoe a delightful outdoor sport. Dancing, running and skating also have their charms. However.

Fate decided to give her an energetic mind and cover it with curly black hair. and. being in a benevolent mood, gave her a great quantity of both. The ringlets needed their first brushing on June 30. 1902. anti the first month of school found Ailcen at the head of her class, where she remained until commencement day. and fittingly closed such a high scholastic record by delivering the valedictory address. Possessed, as we have said before, of an energetic mind, she decided to cast her fortunes with the rest of the Slatington Crew and chose Ursinus as her future Alma Mater. Here, as at home, she has distinguished herself by the high grade of work done in every subject she has studied. Contrary to the opinion we may be creating by this review of her abilities, let us hasten to add that she is by no means a grind or a bookworm; far from it! She has ventured into many fields of endeavor, but has l ecn particularly successful in the adventures of her heart.

Living under such sublime influences, he was inspired by an intense desire to live a life of greater usefulness and. as a result, made his way to Ursinus. Always having been a diligent student, especially in the subjects which are related to the ministry, he entered upon his career here with a zeal seldom excelled by any one. His activities at the college are limited only by his lack of time, being a member of every organization which promises to be a benefit to the institution. Through an observation of the diligence with which he pursues his work, we conclude that his motto. To do something.” is indeed sincere. Dobbsic has also been elected to the managership of our 1923 baseball team, and is completing a schedule to which Ursinus can always refer with pride. .

No wonder she has so many, for who could resist the charms of our fair classmate! Helen came to us from Bangor, and we ll grant that she soon found a way into all our hearts. She can sing, play and dance like a fairy. Achy has taken an active part in all of our musical organizations, being leading lady in “Gypsy Rover.” presented last year. As for her dancing, ask any Ursinus student. Helen as a student was very conscientious—many times because of this fact we teased her. Nevertheless, she won the respect of all. for her persevering nature, and well does she deserve it. Little can be said concerning Helen’s athletic abilities, except that she can root. Helen's health prohibits her from taking an active part along this line, but as to pep well, she is full of it. Every pep meeting includes Achy. and her school and class spirit arc always prominent.

He was kept active in class and society work, being honored with the offices of literary society president and assistant business manager of the Ruby.

We have taken the stage once more to act our best to prepare the world for the grand climax ere the curtain rises for the last and final act. Long ago fully two years the class of 1924 entered Ursinus College as the “greenest of the green. Long ago the Sophs pulled us across the line in our first athletic contest. Long ago we tied them in a fierce gridiron struggle and later decisively defeated them on the diamond and in the cage. Long ago. as wearers of the red and green, the College became very much aware of our presence socially, musically, dramatically, scholastically and along athletic and literary lines. But that is ancient history. Only a year ago as Sophomores the wisest of fools defeat again came our way both in football and in the tug-of-war. Less than a year ago the gods smiled and victory was ours. In two years we have done much. Every team has boasted of membership from our class. Every sort of activity has felt the push of our keen interest. Already, the first jolly time spent together in the Hotel Lorraine. November 3. 1920. is but a sweet memory. The shines” likewise form a part of the never-to-be-forgotten past. We are upper classmen now with upper classmen s ambition. conceit and knowledge. Two more acts to go before fate rings down the curtain forever! We continue to make the drama of life, adding more and more to the renown of Ursinus. The class of 1924 stands as a loyal body, always ready and constantly working to give her best to the Red. Old Gold and Black. But. indulgent reader, judge us not from the comparative mcagerness of our past.

We may have looked fresh and green, just from the country-but our pep was so great that our greenness was overlooked. One dark and foggy night late in November, weerept stealthily out of College-ville in various groups and reunited in Philadelphia at the I lotel Lorraine, where we celebrated one of the most successful events of the year, namely, the Freshman Banquet. Our underlying strength and pep again came to the front when we beat the Sophs with the score 14-0 in the memorable Frosh-Soph football game. To show their appreciation to the athletes of the class, the girls gave a shine never to be forgotten. Some time later came the basketball game, when the Sophomores defeated the Freshmen in a hard-fought game by the score of 20-19. College life then became a little monotonous with hard work and study, but this was soon broken by the excitement of the preparation for the Frosh-Junior shine, which was held in the midst of a beautiful Fnglish garden scene, in the field cage, late in April. 1922. On our return this year we found that some of our classmates had left for other paths in life. T heir places have been taken to some extent by others, whom we hope will make as creditable a showing as they have. Although the class is not the same in number, it is stronger than ever in hope and purpose. We arc only at the beginning of our college career, but we are determined more than ever to accomplish the task which has been set before us. in a way that will arouse the envy and the admiration of those to follow.

Jfresfjman (Class 5)iston fU IN September of 1922 Ursinus was favored with a Freshman Class which possesses characteristics similar to those of wild animals. It resembles a rabbit, an ox. a lark, a squirrel, an owl and a fox. It can be compared with a rabbit. I low? By its bashfulncss and shyness which are desirable and most acceptable traits in any young animal. But do not think, however, that this is the only trait of which it can boast. One of its prominent characteristics is strength which rivals that of an ox. I he first time it really showed its power was in the tug-of-war, when this baby animal conquered its more mature rival. And many were the times on the gridiron that it displayed powers far superior to those of many other animals-In all other sports this animal participated with no less force than that displayed in football. I he likeness to the lark may be noticed in its musical talents, for when it chooses it is able to sing or play as occasion arises. It has also shown itself similar to the squirrel in its frisky and frolicsome moods: its readiness for a good time at its banquet and other social functions held during the course of the year. Again, it possesses the wisdom and seriousness of the owl. and although like the fox it is rather shy. nevertheless it cannot hide, but is compelled to show to the faculty of Ursinus its sagacity in the classroom. As time rolls on. this new animal is proving itself more and more worthy of becoming a vital part of Ursinus. It does not ■’seem to be. but really is.” What is this new animal? It is the animal to which no other name could be given except the one by which it is already known to all the class of 1926.

First Speaker That the youths of Ursinus College may gather together to develop their talents and also ! ettcr appreciate the exhibition of them; and that there may be adequate opportunities for the training in the Arts and Letters.

Speaker (President of Zwing) Zwing welcomes her alumni, members and friends here tonight in celebration of her fifty-third birthday anniversary. As is customary, her celebration will take the form of a public presentation which is modelled after the regular Friday night miscellaneous program: literary, dramatic and musical in character. We ACT ill Scene II Time -December 15. 1923. Place Modern Bomberger. Characters Representatives of Schalf Anniversary Play Cast. Setting Stage setting discloses the scene and final act of a noted historical drama. Speaker (between the acts) “As a feature of every college year, it is the custom for Schaff Literary Society to present a play before the students and alumni of Ursinus. which may tend to keep to the fore that which the Literary Society tries to promote. In order that the dramatic talent may not remain entirely latent this annual play is produced to provide for the exhibition, in part, of those abilities possessed by students, and which might otherwise remain undeveloped. EPILOGUE Sages come and pass again, but wise men arc still in the making. By the influence of those who linger to uphold Kairon Gnothi and “Prudens Futuri. the followers of Zwing and Schaff do succeed, in part, in building more than the dreamer's castles by the exploration and discovery of new abilities, new talents and inventive genii. Thus: ”A better way to know thyself is found in knowing others; The thorough way to see the best, is to note whut better furthers! Htuinglian ILttrrarp 5 otirti ' I M II'. Zwinglian i.itcrary Society was founded in 1870 A by some of the first students who ever attended Ursinus. Nineteen years later the society received its state charter. The organization was effected for the purpose of making it possible for members to practice and cultivate those arts, graces and talents which give effect in composition and force to argumentation. Impressed by the apostolic teachings and doctrines for which Ursinus has always stood, the name of the great reformer Ulrich Zwingli was adopted for the new society. Their accepted motto. Kaiion Gnothi (know thy opportunity), was the outcome of the sentiments of these first Ursinus students. The society has completed nearly fifty-three years of great usefulness. In this time its activities have served as a pait of the academic training of many alumni who arc proud to say that they have been members of Zwing. BOARD OF DIRECTORS W.

With such an example before them, and bearing the name of so eminent a man. Schaffites. endeavoring to perpetuate his memory by rising to greater heights in literary activity, have met once a week ever since and have been working earnestly and whole-heartedly toward a common goal the betterment of Schaff Literary Society.

Beddow, ’20 3Hfjen I mgl)tl)ooD (Leilas in Jflotoer ON Friday evening. December 16. 1921. one of the most stupendous productions ever attempted by Schaff. was offered to Ursinus and Ursinus’ friends when a French-English historical drama adapted from Edwin Caskoden s “When Knighthood Was in blower' was staged. Bomberger’s very walls almost expanded when a host of alumni and friends swelled the crowd of students eager to enjoy the celebration of Schaffs anniversary. The cast was composed of twenty-three characters and a number of supernumeraries. so that the efforts of the entire society w-erc bent upon making the play a success. The scenes, laid in the courts of England and France, required elaborate costuming and scenery. The interest of the plot centered about the secret love affair of Mary Tudor, sister of Henry VIII. and Charles Brandon. Captain of the Guards, and of humble parentage. How the willful and vivacious princess resisted Cardinal Wolsey’s plans for her marriage, de conveniance.’ with the King of b ranee, old and decrepid: how nearly she outwitted him by attempting a rash elopement with Brandon; how she flouted her brother. Henry; his queen, Catherine of Aragon: King Louis, and his nephew, the Dauphin; in turn amazed and kept them all guessing. Mary Tudor, unquestionably the stellar role, was excellently played by Miss Millicent Xander. 1 ler interpretation of the willful vivacious and charming princess delighted the audience. In all changes of fortune, as she toyed with Henry or confided to Jane or subtly wooed Brandon, the princess was followed with admiration and sympathy. Master Charles Brandon was portrayed by Nathaniel S. Detwiler with ease and grace to be expected of one who has played so successfully in all of Schaffs anniversary plays during his college career. His 'Brandon'' left nothing to be desired. Malvern Buchanan as Henry VIII of England raged and stormed with a superb display of irascibility which Henry himself could scarcely have surpassed. Lady Jane Bolingbrokc. by Miss Susanne Kelly, and Sir Edwin Caskoden. by Eugene B. Michael, were exceptionally well played; their comparatively smooth “course of true love’ forming a pretty foil for the more tempestuous love of Mary and Brandon. Frank I. Sheeder. as Duke of Buckingham, though the part did not hold the wide possibilities of some of his former roles, nevertheless gave evidence of the ability which has made him invaluable in Schaff plays. Sir Adam Judson. by Richard F. Deitz. and brands D Angoulcme. Dauphin of France, by John 11. Bisbing. during the short space of their stage life in the play showed splendid dramatic ability and skill in sword play. Carl P. Brocco portrayed the Bishop. Thomas Wolsey. in a way which ably demonstrated the affable diplomacy of that great intriguer, while J. Stanley Reifsncider. in the role of Court Jester, endeared himself to all by his pranks and grimaces. Queen C atherine of England. Miss Louise 1 linkle; Mistress Anne Boleyn. Miss Angeline I lenricks. and Mistress Jane Seymour. Miss Margaret L. Richards, added color and zest to the court scenes by their delineation of the life of court ladies. The scene of the third act. laid in the Bow and String Tavern, brought many new characters into the play the Duke de Longucville. Envoy of France, Leon C. Saunders: Captain Bradhurst. of the Royal Hind. V. H. K. Miller; Host of the Tavern. Daniel B. Kulp; Adventurers. Loy C. Gobrecht and William R. Shaffer; servant at the Inn. C. Earl Linck; officer of the King’s Guard. F. Nelsen Schlegel; Master Cavendish. C'. Herbert Weller. I he Courtiers, Arthur Fretz. John 11. Bisbing. Clifford A. Long; and the soldiers. Michael C. Billett. Charles 11. Miller. WillardS. Rosenbergcr. William R. Shaffer, all added the touch of realism necessary for the impressive picturing of the life in England and in France. When Knighthood Was in Flower.” Many whose only part was to give willing service behind the scenes were as indispensable as the actors themselves. Flerc the work was carried on under the supervision of Stage Manager C. Herbert Weller, with his carpenters. Herbert D. Frank and Loy C. Gobrecht; Electrician Robert Johnston and Art Director John Stock. The wardrobe and properties were in charge of F. Nelsen Schlegel and Dorothea L. Haelig. The arrangements for the anniversary were made by the Anniversary Committee with Nathaniel S. Detwiler. Chairman. The direction of the play was in charge of Mr. C. Henri Regar. to whose willing and able service the society feels greatly indebted for the success of the anniversary production. ctjaffitr0 •� Michaf.i. C. Billf.tt Erma R. Boyd Ethel A.

To the first team is accorded the honor of inaugurating debating as a college activity at Ursinus. but to these two teams is given even greater credit, inasmuch as they have very ably followed up the unparalleled start of the previous season. During this past collegiate year, we have engaged in three dual debates: the Negatives winning two and the Affirmatives one of the six contests. I he colleges met were Albright. Gettysburg and Juniata, all of which arc now members of the Intercollegiate Debating league of Pennsylvania. which league was entered by Ursinus at the beginning of this season. Due to the division of the state into districts by the formation of this league, it is very evident that, in the ensuing years, our opponents will be more varied than heretofore, when Ursinus was in a league of their own formation and direction. I his should prove a greater incentive for the continuation of interest in debating, since with each year’s victories, greater opportunities for conquest make their appearance in the form of a new district open to us. Contrary to the previous method used, these teams were selected by the faculty coaches. Prof. Small. Prof. Munson and Prof. Witmer. from a group of eight men. selected by the societies as representatives for each, bruin this number, the judges selected four from each society. affirmative Debating Ceam Warren F. Bietsch. '24 W. Harry Snyder. ‘23 (Captain) Carroll L. Rutter. ‘22 J. Garwood Newitt. '22 (Alternate) though the members of the respective teams were chosen according to their ability as debaters, and hence were representative of the best available material of the college. Agreeing with the various colleges which were debated, the question. Resolved. That the United States Should Grant Immediate independence to the Philippine Islands. was debated in all the forensic frays of the season. Ursinus lost to Albright in both engagements by a 2-1 vote, but nobly retrieved her reputation by defeating Gettysburg at home and abroad by a unanimous vote of the judges. The Negative team debating Juniata at York under conditions made by York alumni, gained their second victory by a 2-1 decision, while the Affirmative team, simultaneously meeting the adversary at Philadelphia, lost a hard-fought debate by the same score as that by which the Negative team won. As a reward for the good showing made by the debaters, the college continued the precedent and awarded the debating U to all members of both teams. However, at this point, mention should be made of the untiring efforts expended by the faculty coaches and a large amount of credit for the success of the season must be attributed to them as well as for the continuance of Intercollegiate Debating at Ursinus. ' Sports I EARLE KOLB MILLER Ursinus can well be proud of her 1922 gridiron leader. Earle Kolb Miller, the fullback, who hails from Trenton, the pottery city. and is molded from a fine grade of clay, which is substantial and sticks to the end. Shorty” showed grit and nerve when he played the entire season while nursing injuries. As captain of the team. Earle was successful. Ha was a man through and through, an ideal for all football men to admire. On the field he always kept the spirits of the team to a high pitch, never allowing it to lose the old confidence.” His athletic prowess gained many yards in the Rutgers victory of 1920. Although his injuries prevented him from participating in many games, yet his spirit never slackened. A mainstay on a football team will be lost to Ursinus when Miller is graduated. For him we predict the greatest success as he continues playing the game of life. V £i)f Jfootlmll Reason of 1922 fh THE football season of 1922 while not extremely successful gave promise of things to come. With the return of eleven 1921 U men and the entrance of many new men. a squad of nearly fifty candidates reported daily for practice and fought strenuously for the coveted positons on Captain Miller’s mighty machine. 1 he men worked like demons but the jinx came to camp, presenting his sad story. I he adverse circumstances remained throughout the season. Although much good material was lost early in the season through injuries and sickness, every man remaining did his best and no apologies need be offered. When the season was still young Ursinus lost five of her best men in Kengle. Rensch. Williams. Updike and Wikoff. On September 23rd, the wearers of the Red and Black donned their moleskins and won the first game in easy style from Williamson. On foreign fields Ursinus warriors successively lost to Columbia, Swarthmore. Delaware. Albright and Dickinson. There was a different story to tell, however, when the Collegeville lads defended their laurels at home. On Armistice Day Ursinus was besieged by the P. M. C. cadets. Enthusiasm among Ursinus students never ran higher. Demonstrations were frequent. P. M. C. rooters boasted of their team, but they went home entertaining defeat to the tune of 21-7. The following week we met our rivals. F. M.. who had a powerful eleven. The first quarter was played to a scoreless tie. but the end showed F. M. on the big end of a 42-0 score. Still playing with that do or die spirit the Ursinus boys lost to Muhlenberg in the final game on Thanksgiving Day. The Varsity loses only three men from the squad this year. The other members will all be back in their moleskins next fall and. if optimism counts, we all look forward to football taking on a new phase when Captain-elect l aye leads his warriors on the field next fall. personal : it)rligf)ts of tfjr quab 1.

FRUTCHEY F not only stands for Frutchey. but also for fame. Frederick Paxson Frutchcy is a native of Pennsylvania, and comes from Bangor down. The mention of his name in basket ball circles will always bring back memories of a man who was a humdinger on the basketball court. Asa player he was cool, quiet and heady : as a man nothing too praiseworthy can be said of him. Freddie has played varsity ball since his Freshman year and is a player of no mean ability. Not only has he starred in basketball, but he has made a name for himself in baseball and football, having won the coveted U in the latter sport in his Senior year. To this popular ball tosser go the laurels of being third highest scorer, and most of these points were made from field goals. Mainly to his strong personality and guiding spirit, do members of the 1922 team owe their place in the list of Ursinus teams which are noted for their grit and determination. Fred’s million dollar smile is one that is unsurpassable. His love of class, his love of sport, his love of everything which pertains to Ursinus. proves he is and always will be an untiring worker for the betterment of the Red. Old Gold and Black. The Varsity (Tije Basketball Reason of 1022 ALTHOUGH Urttinu has not a long list of victories of which to boast, the 1922 Varsity team displayed a remarkable showing against the strong opposition which it constantly faced. The schedule arranged included many strong teams of the Last and the season commenced December 9th. the first game being played with Muhlenberg. Of the 1921 basketball letter men who remained in school, only Kahn. Frutchey and Got-thalk were able to report, since Paine was still suffering from football injuries and Erb. from the ill effects of a previous operation. However. Paine recovered sufficiently to participate in three of the later games, a significant fact being that all three of these games were won. There were few victories, but the large number of close games is proof of the fact that every man on the team gave the best which he had in him. Following midyears the team was greatly strengthened by the addition of Wismer. a former Norristown High boy. who proved himself to be the high scorer of the season. The second high scoring honors l elong to Kahn, who deserves much praise, as he played through the entire season though suffering from rheumatism. To Gotschnlk. much credit must be given for his guarding ability and to Evans, laurels are due for consistently playing a clean, fast game. To Captain Frutchey. a veteran of four seasons, infinite credit is due for stellar playing which he proved himself capable of at all times. With Captain-elect Wismer's winning ways ami ability, we look forward to his leading a successful quintette. ALEXANDER GWIN CANAN Behold. Alexander Gwin Canan. belter known a Uncle Joe. the champion batter and paddler of the 1922-1923 sports season! Canan early placed his name in the Ursinus hall of athletic fame when he captured a varsity letter in his Freshman year. Throughout his entire bascbull career. Captain Canan interchangeably played first and third bases, taring equally good in either position. More than one run for theop|x sing team was checker! by Joe’s alertness in stopping balls which traveled fast and close along the base lines. In fielding he ranked high, but in batting he led his teammates for the two seasons. Not only did Uncle Joe shine in baseball, but while in college lie also proved himself a wonder in social athletics, lie belonged to the famous Slatington-Freeland Freak Octette. In this capacity, as a social lion, he chalked up for himself the record number of outings in the Ursinus Canoe Club. Uncle Joe's absence will be keenly felt cn the 1923 baseball team and we wish him the best of luck for any undertaking he may pursue after he has left the portals of his Alma Mater. The Varsity Tljr baseball Reason of 1022 LONG before the bullfrog chirped his ftrst notes of spring. Coach Allic Cornog had issued a call for I ascball candidates to work out in the gym. Six veterans, as a nucleus, and much other seasoned material, were working hard to win a place on the nine. Prospects for a winning team were the brightest in years. I: I wood Cornog. the giant brother of the coach, proved himself the peak of perfection on the mound, while High played an excellent game behind the bat. starring in nearly every game played. I hey. backed by their teammates, held the University of Pennsylvania to a 3-2 victory. Although the team lost the following two games to Lafayette and Princeton, they kept up their morale by defeating Rutgers. 6 to 4. thus avenging the football defeat of the previous fall. The following week we saw intercollegiate baseball opened on Patterson Field, when the wearers of the ”U defeated Huverford. 8 to 0. I he second home contest was lost to Villa Nova, but the ft (lowing week, with Howells at the helm, pitching u sterling brand of ball. F. M.. our old rivals, were decisively defeated by the score. 16-0. Both Kcngle and Faye starred by hitting home runs with the bases full Ursinus lost to Georgetown which later proved to be intercollegiate champions. The tide turned, however, when Captain Canan and his hardhitting batters added the scalps of Drexcl. Albright. Dickinson and Muhlenberg. In an exciting game Lebanon Valley won the last home game. 5 to 4. To close the season in good style. Cornog's boys whitewashed P. M. C. To pick stars out of such a noble team would be a hard task, but too much praise cannot be given to Joe' Canan. the captain. He was a hard worker, consistent player and respected leader. He led the batting with an average of .387. Kcngle and Faye followed in order. Paine, in left, and Smith, in center, led the fielding with a perfect record. Fred P. Frutchey. Manager Howard F. Siief.ly W. Harry Snyder George M. Miller. Jr. Cl)f CenniS Reason of 1022 AFTER « lapse of one year, tennis, the popular spring pastime, was reinstated among s|x rts at Ursinus. An elimination schedule was played and the survivors were Frutchey. Snyder. Shecly and George Miller. The team did not have a successful season, due to the late start, and consequently inferior team work and the illness of Miller, which attacked him during one of the contests. However, we were glad to sec the sport revived and so much interest taken in it. The student body deserves credit for their support. Ursinus. I: Muhlenberg. 2 Ursinus. I; Moravian. 5 Ursinus. I: Juniata. 5 Siegfried C. Baden. Captain Norman Greenawalt. Manager (Efjr (Crack Reason of 1022 r.-? DURING the 1922 season keen interest was renewed in track work. After many years of silence regarding track teams, in 1922 a number of students became interested in this phase of athletics and as a result of their efforts a team was developed which, in spite of great opposition, has successfully upheld the do-or-die spirit that characterizes Ursinus athletics. This aggregation of students who were eager to develop track work spent many months in strenuous efforts, training on the track and by means of cross-country runs which occurred several times u week. However, due to the introduction of a new interest and also to the condition of the truck then in process of construction, the track work was greatly handicapped. When the track is completed and a working ground is available, much impetus will be given to this sport. Consequently in the near future we expect new laurels to be won by the track teams.

S 5 2 M Girls' athletics at ZUrsinus URSINUS COLLEGE—one of the few co-cducational institutions which encourage intercollegiate sports for its fair sex. Within the last few years girls' athletics at Ursinus have made rapid progress. Under the direction of Miss A. R. MacCann. hockey, basketball and tennis were organized. From the very beginning great interest and pep on the part of all the girls was shown and this spirit has continued not only to exist, but also to grow with each succeeding year. The attention of the girls has been especially centered around hockey and basketball. For four years we have had a hockey team which rivals the best ones in this section. Likewise we have a basketball sextette which, though defeated time and time again in previous years, finally came through with a winning season. Now, under the capable leadership of Miss Madeline Roc. and with the enthusiasm and the whole-hearted support of all the girls, we can expect still greater victories in the years to come. The Miking Club which was organized some few years ago includes in its membership practically the whole student body of girls. To any one who hikes 100 miles during the entire school year, a club emblem. H. C.. is awarded. For an additional 100 miles the hiker is privileged to wear a chevron. Hiking is especially enjoyed by those who do not participate in hockey or basketball, and this coming year, judging from various well-laid plans, will show that the Hiking Club will be more prominent than ever. But nothing causes so much excitement at Ursinus as the clashing rivalry which exists in intcrclass games. Each year the Freshman-Sophomore hockey game is looker! forward to with the most eager anticipation of victory on the part of both teams. These contests more than anything else tend to knit the sister classes together. I ennis is one of the sports which the girls most enjoy. Intercollegiate contests were player! one year, but since then tennis has been limited to the tournaments held every spring. A gold tennis ball is awarded as first prize and a silver one as second. We hope girls' athletics at Ursinus will some day help to advertise our Alma Mater in as material a way as do the boys’ athletics. We want to strengthen the bond which now connects the name of ''girls” and the name of Ursinus” to such a degree that the two shall forever be inseparable. WEARERS OF THE Kit I Ibindel.

LAWRENCE Coming from Minersvillc High School with a record of going in for everything.” Claire soon showed her ability as a hockey player. in the fall of 1919 the team could claim her as the only Freshman girl among its numl crs. From then on. Claire has played a leading part on the hockey field and well deserves the captaincy during her Senior year. The halfback line is much stronger because it can boast of her as one of the trio. The steadiness of her work, her accurate knowledge and skill of the game is well appreciated, not only by members of the team, but by the entire student body. £l)e jockey Reason of 1022 HOCKEY is by far the favorite sport among the girls. That we have always had a team rivaling the best ones in the East is a well-known fact. For a period of three years. Ursinus has played such tcamsasSwarthmore. Temple and Becchwood. However, this fall, in place of the games formerly played with Bccchwood. the U. of P. formed one of the opposing elevens. Coached by Miss Roe and captained by Claire what could be expected but a winning eleven! Each member of the team endeavored always tolive up to the high goal which these two had placed as the end. The three halfbacks composed the star line, for in every game H. Iscn-berg. C. Lawrence and F. Fegcly were the shining lights. The surencss and accuracy of Claire's shots, coupled with the swiftness and steadiness of Henny's work and the fact that Moss” was always on the job.” made this group the talk of the season. The forward line had some exceptional girls but, sometimes, they did not play together as well as they might have. Lucilc Knipc was our little fighting center, while the inside positions were held by Linda Hoycr and Ruth Hcspenhidc. who could usually be relied upon to put the ball through the goal posts. As wings. Milly Xandcr and Margaret Mills played remarkably well and constantly carried the ball toward the goal. The defensive work of the season fell to the lot of Edith betters. Lillian Iscn-berg and Mabel Rothermcl and on the whole was very strong. The first game was played here on our own field with Temple who succeeded in piling up the score of 8 to our I. The rest of the games were played away from school. Journeying to Swarthmorc a few days later the team fell at the hands of the Garnet maidens due to the lack of teamwork manifested among the ‘Sinus girls. What our team could really do was shown against the U. of P. eleven, where the Red. Old Gold and Black was victorious over the Red and Blue. At Swarthmorc. again, the team played a game of which Ursinus can well be proud, although it spelled defeat. As a whole, the games were remarkably well played and showed the true spirit of the Ursinus girl. Varsity jockey (Train ❖ Xlanugcr Linda Hoyer Captain Claike P. Lawrence Coach Miss M. Roe Mahei.

Swarthmorc. Cedar Crest. Temple and every other team that was met put their strongest guard against her. In spite of this, she always managed to make more goals than any one else. Here’s hoping that next year she breaks her previous record in “making baskets. and helps to gain a victory for Sinus every time a game is played. (Efjf JBasbetbaU astern of 1022 HAVING played three years with but a single victory to their credit, the basketball team came back strong and pulled through with a winning season. Cedar Crest and Moravian were added to the schedule which included Swarthmore. Temple and Beech wood: but Moravian, due to the illness of several of her players, cancelled the game. I he sextette started out with a trouncing from Bccchwood at Becchwood. However, this only increased the spirit and pep of the girls to have a victorious team. Whereupon they proceeded to Cedar Crest and there succeeded in winning the game by a good margin. I hen Ursinus attacked the strong Temple team, but there suffered a bad defeat. On the following day the girls made good and won the closely contested game with Swarth-more. Although Becchwood fell at the hands of the blue-eyed six. Temple again managed to gain the higher score. The season, ending with the overwhelming victory over Cedar Crest, tallied only three defeats, and two of those from the champion Temple sextette. The success of the team is in a large measure due to the faithful coaching of Miss Roc and the whole-hearted support and enthusiasm of each player. The guards. H. Iscn-berg and M. McCavcry. played persistently strong throughout the season. The sure passes of Peg and the agility and speed of Henny’s work were the outstanding features of many of the games. M. Mills, as center, player! perhaps the steadiest of all the girls. Ably assisted by cither M. Xander or E. Evans she could always be relied upon.
