Good, oldest member of I’rsinus’ Faculty, and Christian worker, of international fame, who died on Tuesday, January 22, 1924. James Isaac Good was born in York, Pa., December 31, 1850. He was graduated from Lafayette College in 1872, received the A. M. degree in 1875 and honorary I). I), in 1912 from the same institution. Ursinus bestowed on him the degrees of 1). I), in 1887 and LL.D. in 191 1. After being graduated from Union Theological Seminary in 1875 he was ordained to the ministry in the Reformed Church, serving churches in New York, Philadelphia, and Reading, Pa. In 1890 he Ik came professor of Church 1 listory in the I ’rsinus School of Theology and was made Dean in 1893. From 1907 until his death he divided his time between the Central Theological Seminary and 1 'rsinus College and served as a bond between the two institutions. Besides making an annual trip to Europe for forty years he devoted some time to writing and research. “T he most widely known representative of the Reformed Church, the friend of the I 'rsinus students, the schol arly gentleman,” are phrases that express mildly the work and worth of Dr. Good, to whose memory this page is dedicated.

It was her admirable coaching and untiring efforts that commanded the enthusiastic reception of “The Intimate Strangers’ and to her goes the praise for the success of the play. The Junior Class appreciates her kindness and thanks her for the time and energy put forth in making the production a success. “THE INTIMATE STRANGERS” ON Friday evening. May 9. 1924. the Junior Class presented “The Intimate Strangers.” a three-act comedy by Booth Tarkington. The dramatic talent represented in the Junior Class made of this play a brilliant success and one long to be remembered for its complexities. The play centers about a series of laughable incidents arising out of the accidental meeting of Mr. Ames and Isabel Stuart in a wayside station where they had both been stranded bv a severe storm. Not at all averse to the situation, they settle down for some twenty-four hours to enjoy each other's company. Ames later visits her home and is mystified from the first as to how old Isabel really is. The subsequent happenings from the beginning of this mysterious situation until the end when Ames finds out that she is really not too old for him, portrayed delightful humor. All has not been clear sailing for Ames, however, for he is sorely harassed meanwhile by Isabel’s flapper niece, who is anxious to perfect her beguiling fiapperisms upon any man and all men, much to the discomfiture of her young suitor, Johnny White. The leading female role, Isabel Stuart, was played by Miss Nickel. Miss Nickel has established for herself a versatile reputation in dramatics and she interpreted this part with her usual charm. Sherman Gilpin played the leading male role. Ames. He fitted into his difficult part of the greatly mystified and nonplussed suitor, admirably. The flapper was realistically and delightfully portrayed by Miss Vivian Wismcr, who clearly brought to light all the wiles and clever traps of the so-called modern girl to capture the hearts of mere men. Johnny White, the youngster, who was so sorely distressed at the flapper’s evident preference for older, more worldly men, was splendidly interpreted by John Bishing, who on several occasions drew enthusiastic applause from the audience. Miss Beatrice Shafer took the part of the gentle gray-haired Aunt Ellen and her characterization of the lovely old lady was very real. The cast was completed by Miss Helen Johnson as Mattie, the maid; Elmer Herber, the station-master; and Ralph Heiges as Henry, whose parts served to admirably round out the story. 39 ALICE E. BERGER “Acca” “Allie Schuylkill Haves. Pa. Schuylkill Haven High School; English-Historical. Treasurer (4) ; Zn'inglian (i, 3. 4). Secretary (2); Class Secretary (2). Tort (3); H' C. .1. Cabinet (3, 4) ; Student Council (2. 3), Treasurer (4) ; English Club (3, 4) ; Ruby Staff. This laughing, light-hearted lass is an excellent example of the charming type of femininity for which Schuylkill Haven has become noted. It was Alice’s pretty blush and sweet smile that identified her from the rest of the homesick Freshmen in the fall of 1921. Ah! and those were the days when our little girl Alice was innocent, but four years of college life have metamorphosed her into a sophisticated Senior. Acca’s accomplishments are many and varied. Her Beauty Parlor’’ at Maples was always filled and fortunate were the pupils of music who came under the tutorage of Prof. Berger. Besides being proficient in the above professions she is also an explorer of great repute. She has unearthed some very valuable pieces of antique crockery for which she was offered a large sum of money, but her generous nature impelled her to donate them anonymously to her friends. And now to tell of her accomplishments and merits in a more serious vein. She has been a faithful member of the Student Council and the fact that she has held this position for four years is enough evidence that she carried out her duties in such a manner as to meet the approval of her classmates. Alice’s chief hobby is drawing and while at Ursinus she has given of her talent on many occasions. Whenever a poster was to be made or favors wanted for some event, it was Alice who filled the bill. Her cleverness along these lines was always a source of admiration. Success to you, Alice, whether you become a teacher or an artist. 40 JOHN H. BISBING “Johnnie” Whiz-bang” Royersford, Pa. Royersford High School; Classical, I'icr President (j). President (4); Schaff (2). Janitor (1), ice President (j), President (4) ; I'arsity Manager, Football (4); Glee Club (3'; President (4); Choir (4); H'eekly Staff (3); Student Count 'd (3,4); .Associate Manager, RUBY. John came to us from the Royersford High School, just four years ago. His disposition, being that of a quiet, unassuming person, caused us to wonder just what John would mean to us. We did not wait long, however, for Johnnie’s winning smile and ability at jigging” soon won a place, for him. in our hearts. John never has taken himself, or life, very seriously. He smiles when it rains, he grins when in pains; he sings while it snows, and he “jigs” for his beaus. Knowing John's ability at leadership and for winning friends (having held the Presidency of Schaff Literary Society, not counting the committees he has guided and the managerships he has held), we feel that John shall become a leader in whatever field of work he may enter. As a member of the Business Staff of the Ruby, John has worked industriously and faithfully. Therefore, dear reader, remember that Johnnie” is responsible to a great extent for this book. There arc moments when the best of friends must part, when long, loved ties must be torn asunder, and the words of parting unwillingly uttered. Such are these moments, but, even though we will miss John’s smiling countenance and jigging foot, yet we can rejoice in the memories of our college days at 'Sinus. Remember, John, that: We think of you the live long day, And in the sleepless hours of night. In idleness, in work and play Our Johnnie's smile shines ever bright.” 41 RET A E. BI.EISTEIN I.EBANON, P. . Lebanon High School; Engl ish-Historical; Se iaff (2. 3. 4); Corresponding Secretary ( 1 ; ('.lass Hoi bey ( 1 ; Glee Club 3. 41; V. W. C. . . ( 1. 2. 3. 4 ; English Club (3. 4). A tall cedar of I.citation—that's Reta; Reta, the witty! But sad to say, only those who know her well have the good fortune of enjoying this humor. Reta roomed alone most of her college days, but we’ll wager she had as good a time as any of us. Daily she would call someone into her room to read some humorous clipping, usually from the Lebanon Daily Xens. Reta liked to entertain the girls, and tell them of the time when she will be an old maid. As to this we cannot venture a prediction. Reta expects to teach history or English and if we can judge her success as a teacher by her studiousness as a student, she will surely be a fine teacher. 42 A. CHRISTINE BORKKY “Sunny’’ Reading, Pa. Reading High School; F.m Hjh-Historical; St half (j, 41; Glee Club (4); V. H . C. . . (3. 4). There arc not many groups of people who can boast of having one of the celestial luminaries all their very own. Hut one bright September tlav “Sun” decided to take up her abode at Crsinus. At first C'hrissie's manner was aloof and impersonal, but she soon became one of us and showed that she was a rcg'lar guv” as well as a student. Rest of all. the “sun” of '25 has improved with use, and now it would be hard to picture the campus without her. Her nickname could not be more appropriate; she lives up to it every bit of the time. There's always a cheery word or a friendly smile for every one. C hris, however, is not a paragon of virtue. One look at her mischievously twinkling eyes is proof enough that she ami good times are much more than speaking acquaintances. One cannot help but use a grain of salt with her ama ing statement, “I want to be an osteopath after I’ve taught a little while. For although it's true that “In spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of baseball, it doesn't say anything about girls. So, quite naturally, when “Sunny becomes a very pronounced baseball fan, eulogizes the beautiful scenery along the Wissahickon, delves deep in the mysteries of zoology, and enjoys high talks on that— and other—subjects, we cannot help but wonder at the osteopath dream. Whether “Sunny Chris decides in favor of teaching, doctoring, or the Great Adventure, she will have the best wishes of the class of ’25, whose loyal friend she has been. 43 NETTIE B. BOYER Slatincton, Pa. Slating on High School; English-Historical; Schaff (2, 3, 4), Secretary (1); f. C. A. (1, 2. 3. 4); Student Council, Secretary (2), Vice-President (3) ; Artist of RUBY Staff. Who mentioned hiking? Oh, yes. Nettie is ready, for what Shreiner crowd hikes without Nettie? She’s a regular pal and hiking is not all that Nettie likes to do, although it is one of her strong points. Dancing is another and we arc hoping Shreiner will still have a “Vic” to make noise next year. Really, we sometimes think that she actually likes to study. She can almost consume an “Ed” book in one night, though it certainly would he marvelous if she could remember what she read. Nettie says Slatington is a right nice place and next to that she likes the Poconos. It seems there is an attraction, perhaps a tall “Greene” pine,—who knows? Well, one can hardly blame him because Nettie is one of the most congenial girls we know. Her personality has won her many friends, both young and old. As a Student Council member she was true to her office and became vice president in the Junior year. She has been a faithful worker for her class and for Schatf. As for secretarial duties, we hardly know what the Dean would do without her in Sunday School. Taking all in all, Nettie is an all-around good sport and we know the future holds great success for her. 44 EDWARD RUTLEDGE COOK “Ed” “Cookie” Philadelphia, Pa. Brown Preparatory School; English-Historical (2. j. 41; Schaff. Chaplain (2. 3, 4) ; Pice President (3). Play (3), Trustee (4) ; 6lee Club (3. 4) ; Choir (4); Y. M. C. A. Cabinet (3), President (4); Student Council (3), Business Manager of the RUBY. Stop that racket! (ice whiz, how do you think I’m ever going to get any sleep?” The above is “Ed's favorite expression, if most used means favorite. Next to eating Ed thinks that sleeping is the first and foremost indoor sport. Although “Ed did not join us until our Sophomore year we know him almost as well as if he had been with us from Erosh days. Ed is a man of many parts and no little experience. 11 is labors are always productive and his activities are many and varied. He is looked upon as a supporter and promoter of the different phases of college endeavor such as those of religion, literary works, and social activity. Another of “Ed’s” abilities, or shall we call it a failing, is singing. When “Ed learns a new song and starts singing the boys quietly gather up their books and betake themselves out of range of that wonderful wail. We feel that if “Ed” continues practicing it will not be long before he appears either as a second Caruso or a huckster. Cookie is also a business man of rare ability. The success of this book is due in a great measure to his efforts as Business Manager. Business must lose a good man, however, as Ed” is a minister. He undoubtedly will be a success in this field. We hope he climbs to the top where he will bring creel it to ’25 and the old U.” 1 need to sleep, sleep, sleep, No restful sleep 1 find. You Hit so deep, deep, deep Through my subconscious mind. 45 MARY V. DRISSEL “Drizzle” Lansdale, Pa. Lansdale High School; Economics and Business Administration; Zuinglian (i. 2, 3, 4) ; Y. IP. A. (1. 2, 3. 4); Class Port (2), Pier-President (3) ; Oratorical Contest (3); Original Editor, Rl’BY Staff. To know Drizzle is to know what it is to niggle—and giggle some more. She is known as the girl who carries a supply of chuckles up her sleeve. Mary's witty remarks are always the cause of a hunch of merry gigglers ami when a crowd of the aforementioned girls are seen, one is sure to see Mary with a wise, calm, dry expression in the midst of them. Her most commonplace heroic efforts to answer one of Dr. Tower's questions in Logic class seem to precede twinkling eyes and smiles on the part of her companions. It did not take us long to find out what Mary’s chief pastime was. l.ansdale is her native heath ami very often she took whole crowds home with her. Then and there it was discovered how Drizzle could cook. Rating is her chief indoor sport but attempts to become more corpulent have all been in vain and she is still as slim and willowy as the proverbial reed. When Mary entered ITsinus as a Freshman, she early showed signs that she had ideas on certain things and she has held to them. She often hail to spat to keep them but any flares of temper she ever had, were forgotten in tearful penitence three minutes later. Her radiant good nature has endeared her to all.

Besides this, his ability leans towards the mandolin and often the “sweet” strains of this instrument have resounded through Bomberger during the day and at night in “Dog House.” However, these arc not all of his accomplishments. “Sherm is quite a navigator and any nice warm afternoon he may be found serenely floating down the Perk” in the company of one of his favorites. Canoeing is one of his favorite pastimes, and usually to such an extent that he misses the “excellent” dinners served in the college dining room. This deficit is made up occasionally at the expense of a nearby chicken coop, with an excuse that it was sent from home. Those of us who know him are aware of the fact that this excuse is rather questionable. “Sherm” has two great aims in life—one is to marry a pretts girl, and the other is to get a million dollars; well, here's hoping he gets the pretty girl and we get the million bucks.” Aside from the frivolous side of his college career, he does study at times and plans to enter the Penn medical school in the fall and if he studies there as he docs for examinations here, success will be his. 47 NETTIE SUNNY MARY ELIZABETH I MS TEA I) EVANS “Betz” Lebanon, Pa.

The same with I’rsinus one bright September day in 1921. The campus didn't know what was under the meek and mild exterior of the feminine portion of this trouble. Before long we found out. “Betz has evolved into an ideal college girl. Athletically she is one of the shining lights. Socially, well, she isn’t adverse to holding down the front porch of South Hall any hour of the day or night. “Betz started while in High School to develop her athletic ability. She played basketball at High School and has held down a varsity position here for four years. As a fitting climax to such a career she was made captain. In college she added another game to her repertoire, namely, hockey. Her mighty right gave her the position of half-back, which she filled efficiently. “Betz's ability is not confined to athletic lines alone. Anything which required a general manager could be left in Betz’s'’ hands, and one could feel that it would be carried out. Betz's popularity is due to her general good nature. She has well been called everybody’s pal.’’ Her ability as an orator has been proved by her many and stirring speeches in class meetings. Her versatility has been evidenced by the fact that on many occasions she has efficiently acted as cheer leader for the girls. Last but not least. Betz is a Zwinglian. Never did she weary of doing something for Zwing. Her chief contributions to the programs were her never-failing-to-amuse characterizations of Farina.” We hope that as Betz” goes through life she will bring as much cheer to those around her as she brought to us of '25. 49 FRANCIS C.

Bifty” or Scurvy” as he is better known, soon showed everyone about Ursinus that he ranks as one of the best ends that has ever graced the campus. Incidentally, he captained the football team through the season of '24. and played a great game all the time. In basketball he was always the star of the squad. His weakness for chicken” evidenced itself late in his Junior year and he fell harder than many that he has tackled on the gridiron. Thus, in fear of his lighter social activities he was forced to sacrifice the national pastime, baseball, for the shady ravines along the Perkioinen. It was there that he first learned the sweetness and joy of being alive. No hall can claim him. He started in Freeland, and to be sociable tried the other two. Lest we forget—he has proved conclusively that he is a firm believer in sleep and plenty of it as a developer of the mind and body.

He knew what he wanted ami he usually got it. I11 the dorms he was ever laughing or singing. We need not pass over the singing part so fast because Red helped to organize the Glee Club and was always a hard worker for it. He also took a place for himself in the Men’s Quartet and the College Choir. In studies Red majored in chemistry ami biology because he intends to become a pill peddler.” Unlike many others with like intention, Red was not a grind. His studies seemed to come very easily. For this reason he had lots of time for other activities. VVe will all vouch for the fact that as a social lion lie is no slouch. About halfway through his college career, Red got a Bea in his bonnet and it seems he was smitten rather hard. Smitten or bitten, he didn't get stung.

The heroine of this sketch is the girl who made Trenton famous, not only by the enviable record she made there, but also in the consistent way in which she upholds her Alma Mater. Although she considered Trenton High School the best ever, she nevertheless realized that her education was not completed when she finished her course there. The fall of 1921, therefore, saw her knocking for admittance, at the doors of Ursinus. The bell rang, the latch clicked, and in the hustle and bustle “Natty made her entrance, keeping up this action ever since. Loyalty and pep’’ sectns to have been her slogan, one which she practised as well as preached. The class. Zwing, dances, all were enlivened by her presence. “Natty” has a host of talents, which she gives generously, and what she doesn't know, her line smooths over beautifully. Horn with brains, Natty isn't a slacker in using them, and it wasn't long before the South Hall gang made others realize her good judgment and capability. The girls’ student body, recognizing her executive ability, made her their Student Council President, another difficult task, which she performed well. Not to mention “Natty's appetite, would be to overlook her finest and most polished accomplishment. Needless to say, in this, as well as other things, one only attains perfection by constant practice. Could we gaze into the crystal globe, peering into the future, one might see all these graces standing in good stead, for it is written again and again, in the closely printed pages— a minister’s wife needeth several—yea, as many as she can grasp! 52 ERNEST ANDERS HEEBNER Norristown, Pa., K.

After completing his work in the elementary schools there, he entered Norristown High School and was graduated from there in 1916. Since that year he has been teaching; first in the elementary schools of Towamensin township, four years, then serving as principal of the borough schools in Hatfield, two years, and finally as Assistant Principal of the Hatfield Consolidated High Schools. During this time, being desirous of a higher education, he took work at the University of Pennsylvania and at Ursinus summer schools and finally decided to complete his college course with the class of ’25. He came to Ursinus with a determination of doing his best and his success is due to this determination to which he clings. He never wavers from the path of duty. He is a good student and his congenial ami aggressive personality have already won him many friends. He expects to continue teaching ami we are sure he will make a success in that field, since he already has much experience along that line. The best of wishes of the class of '25 accompany him. 53 RALPH EBY MKUiKS “Hedges SlIIPPEN'SBURG, P .

With all these interests he alwavs kept up in the work of the classroom. In his Junior year this young lad made the varsity basketball team where he plaved at every position but center during some part of the season. His usual position was left guard where his fast floor work and well directed lucky curves made him high scorer for ;he season. During the spring Heiges was one of 1'rsinus’ representatives on the tennis team. “No man is without fault'' and so a little secret must l e revealed. Ralph is very fond of cookies ami tried very hard to keep a supply of them on hand for any occasion that might arise. If these were not available a trip to Miss Ermold’s hall would' usually serve as an appeasing substitute. Some of the students would like to know why these trips had to be made immediately after the evening meal. The future of this young man is to most a mystery but we are all convinced that within a decade the degree Ph. I), will be added to his name, and he will be engaged in training the youth of our land. Lastly, but not without merit, the 1925 Rl’BY will always bear the name of Ralph Eby Heiges as its Editor-in-Chief. 54 THE HERBER5 LUCILLE PEARL MARIA V LES ELMER CHARLES HERBER Elmer New Tripoli, Pa.

RUBY. Behold the tailed and broadest man in the class of ’25. Having increased in stature he wished to increase in knowledge and set out for “Ursinus College in the fall of 1922. Elmer was graduated from Keystone Normal School and hence entered our class in its second year. On the football held this fellow has put his brawn and might to good use. His first two years he had hard luck with injuries but his last year seems to promise that he will be a varsity man. “Big Herber belongs to the Chem-Bi. Group and showed this by always upholding the scientist’s viewpoint in every argument. He liked to argue and it was not hard to get him started. These arguments did not always mean much, for he was always subject to much good-natured kidding. As a member of Schaff, Elmer was rarely among the missing and took part in many dramatic performances. The Business Staff of the RUBY was very much strengthened by his presence on it. Few will ever know the time and energy he spent in helping this book from the financial side. During his Junior year, Herber received a specific liking for one of the girls’ halls which he frequented with great regularity. But. alas! the Senior year found no such incentive to take a walk and we can hut say to him as has been said to so many other young men, (Jo West, young man, go West.” Because of his interest in the line of science we are convinced that his work after school will he some scientific pursuit. Whether it he as a physician or a biologist, we wish him unlimited success. 56 HOWARD T. HERBER Herber New Tripoli, Pa.

This class was indeed fortunate to have him enter at this time. He has been a real leader in many fields of extra-curricula activities. His first year at ITsinus saw him as the only Junior representative on the debating squad. During the Senior year Howard was Editor of the Weekly under whose direction it flourished and seemed to take on new life. One might mention the different positions he has held in the various organizations to which he belonged but the list would be lengthy. Howard's interest in outside activities did not mean that his work would go by default, for he was always prepared in class to give some answer or offer some information. Little Hcrber has a way of acting or looking at the opposite sex that brings them right to him. He was inclined to be rather backward along this line during his first semester here, but before the year was over, he discovered that there was no hall like . . for him. Keystone Normal claims him as an alumnus and he is about prepared to enter the teaching profession once more. Herber was a teacher for two years before continuing his higher education and he is not finished going to school when he leaves I'rsinus. You will no doubt read in the future of Dr. Howard T. Herber, superintendent of Schools at New Tripoli, Pa., or a place somewhat larger. There is no doubt but that Howard will be a great teacher. 57 MARIAN MAY HERSHBERGER “Dutch I.F.BASOK, PA. Lebanon Hit h School; Mathematical; Zuinglian (i. 2. 3. 4); (‘lass Hockey (1); V. H . C. A. (1. 2, 3. 4). Marian's jolly laughter and frivolity are well known to all her friends. As one of the famous “west-side suite in Olcvian, she keeps things going. At times sudden anger mars her radiant nature, but not for long and she forgives easily those who have annoyed her at the moment. Some of Marian’s friends know her as “Dutch. due to her Dutch colloquialisms which she brought with her from Lebanon. She is a hearty rooter for her home town where she won honors and distinction in High School. At college, however, Marian's studies have not worried her. In spite of this, she holds a creditable place in the academic standing at ’Sinus. In the social life Marian is always interested. No particular young man has won her heart, at least not for long. But, when Mr. Right comes along, we wish her happiness. Although Marian never took any active part in athletics we always found her cheering loud and strong for the old “U.’’ She has been known to get up early on a few occasions to play tennis, but these times were few and far between. I'sually she manages to arise in time to make a mat! dash for chapel and arrives late. After college days are over Marian intends to teach. To imagine her taking charge of a class of high school pupils is rather hard but we know she will be a popular teacher. We hope you will be as successful in life as you have been in Zwing, class affairs, and other activities in which you have won distinction. 58 § - MARY ELIZABETH HOLLOWAY “Betty'” Philadelphia, Pa.

That is the wav Betty faces everything, if not with a laugh, with a smile, or cheery word. Slick to it, Betty.” and your cheerfulness will pull you through your difficulties every time. Glenwood harbored this lover of fun for two years and then she decided she must l e nearer the center of things, so moved to Olevian. Betty” has never gone in strongly for athletics. Miss Lrmold can testify to the fact that she uses the parlor regularly, however. Betty” is very musical along some lines She really plays the piano, ukelele, and Victrola well, as Zwing and Olevian know. It has been rumored that “Betty” also goes in for voice training between the hours of 7 and S A. M.. so the Olevianites would have us believe. Although Betty has always taken advantage of her social opportunities, it is too bad that the college does not offer a post-graduate course, but a Queen” to cover the miles, and some one at the wheel, makes the distance to Pottstown negligible. Betty’s studies have not been neglected from day to day, although history was somewhat burdensome, especially those special reports. Her loyalty to Zwing. the Math Group, the class of ’25, anil her Alma Mater has ever been shown. Betty” is going to be a school inarm, so she says, but according to all indications there is much to be said about the question. Whatever she does do, we are sure will be crowned with success. § 59 HELEN MARY JOHNSON Reds Mauch Chunk, Pa.

We are all mighty glad that Helen did join us when we were Freshmen because she has proved her ability in many ways and has become a friend to all. The Y. W. C.

Whenever we sec Helen she is always busy, always happy, generous and accommodating, and always ready to lend a helping hand to the other fellow. Ever since last year, Helen has been interested in sports, willing to offer her services as a scrub in hockey and ever entering the game with pep all of which tend to offer a bright future for the hockey season, both for her and for the team. She visits the city quite frequently and when she comes back with new music,—which she usually does,—we arc assured of a good jazzy time being produced on the piano. Her untiring energy led her to try out and act in the Class Play which she helped to make a success. More than this, she is a good mixer, a fine dancer ami a real “buddy.’’ If you want a worker when there’s work to do. If you want a jolly sport to chum with you.

We know that she will uphold the standards of I’rsinus in the future as she upholds those of her High School. Although she studied a great deal, she hail time for foolishness, such as sewing up “night attire, and always making some witty remark. No one was as willing as she to assist one in times of need. When the organizations to which she belonged had something to he put across, she worked with zeal and fervor. There was no lack of pep in her. The greatest part of her efforts in outside activities were centered around the V. W. C. A. and Schatf. South Hall will certainly miss the occupant of the Nut Shell. Pearl is very ambitious and during the time we have known her she stored away a great deal of knowledge. She can always be found in the library or in her room devouring a book of some sort. Perhaps Pearl intends to teach school when she leaves Ursinus. We feel sure her pupils will profit by having such a proficient teacher.

Bestow no cursory glance on the countenance before you, for Ruth is one of the precious few who contribute the necessary tang anti spice to a sufficient, all-around class as the class of '25. The portrait has a meek look, we admit; but on the other hand, the camera does not do her justice, for Ruth has been known to rush in where angels fear to tread. Her history is brief but expressive. The twisted pretzel has beaten Ruth to it in making Allentown famous, but give her time. Rufus excells in the culinary arts; her favorite indoor sport is cooking which all Shreinerites have learned to know well. Given a room enclosing Ruth and her worthy colleagues; given the notorious onion sandwiches, and your deductions are absolutely correct: every last Bermuda has been Ruth-lcssly exterminated by the close of the night's seance. We will ever remember a certain Freshman co-ed three years ago, who tickled our verdant sense of humor those first few days by plumping herself down into porch rockers as unconcernedly as you please, rocking away with the poise and indifference befitting a Senior only. Hockey occupied this lady’s spare time when she was an underclassman, but during her last year here she has assumed a belligerent attitude. Almost any day you can find “Rufus’’ on the campus, hugging her camera in search of RUBY victims. Loyalty and Ruth are synonymous. She is also unfailingly careful, while generosity makes up a large part of her jovial nature. ITsinus will miss not only Ruth's jollity, but also that daily practice hour on the piano. A few years of school teaching, maybe,—and after that we picture her seated by some fireside, mending someone's socks, in utter contentment and happiness. 9(3 95)---------------------------- 62 § M.

Lucille claims as her birthplace the village of Limerick. There, amid the medicinal odors issuing from her father's office and the teasing- of her brother Cile grew to girlhood. She attended the public schools of her own village. After completing the course there, she went to Collegeville High School. In High School -he displayed great interest and ability in athletics. After being graduated from high school, -he joined the rank- of '25, and has proved to be a staunch member. While in college “Cile ha- just shone in hockey. Much to her Credit, she earned a letter in her Freshman year and since that time has been the ever-depend-able and fast little center. The climax was capped when she was elected captain of the team in her Senior year. As many others of the fair sex of '25, Lucy was caught in the bobbed hair “rampage. However, for some reason, she never wore her hair bobbed. She, different from many girls, is proficient in the arts of cooking and sewing as well as driving a Ford. Schaff claims her as a member and a worker. She was a regular attendant at the meetings until recently when other engagements seemed to take precedence. Whatever she does, we wish her the best of success. We will always remember Lucille as a jolly good pal, ever ready to do things for others. 63 § LESTER CLAIR KOHR Les” York, Pa.

As he arrived there during the dark days of the World War he immediately joined the S. A. T. C. After being discharged from the service he worked for a short time; but realizing that he should continue his education, lie spent two years in the Moody Bible Institute. In the year 1921 we find him entering the old U” as a verdant Freshman. He brought with him that cheerful ami enlightening countenance which he possessed. He has been active in the Y. M. C.

He has represented Crsinus in many Intercollegiate conferences and has carried with him the inspiring influence of Crsinus. When it comes to the social side of life we find I.es taking a leading role. He has been credited with having more friends among the fair sex than any other fellow in the class. When not at work he is either playing his Victrola or practicing on the football field. His highest ambition is to go as a missionary to some foreign land. He has l een a regular attendant at the meetings of the Student Volunteers during his four years. So, we feel that Les” will make a go in the foreign field. 64 EDNA MAE MARTIN “Eddie Hanover. P .

Her love for the West has not diminished, but a more loyal Crsimisite could scarcely be found. I'o Crsinus she brought all the vim, igor, and vivacity of an all-around student. As for personality, this young lady impresses one ver definitely at the moment one meets her. She is a veritable fortress of capability. Great strength of character and quickness of decision may be ascribed to her. With it all she is so jolly that it is a pleasure to be near her. She loves the out-of-doors; hiking is her favorite sport and she is never too tired to hike to Yerkes. She does not spend an over-abundance of time on her studies but manages to persuade the professors that she deserves gtwnl marks. In a word, she is brimming over with good-will and a happy spirit. “Eddie has made herself an inseparable part of Crsinus life through her efforts in various organizations. The class of 25 can always depend on her for cooperation in every activity. Schatf Literary Society receives her enthusiastic support and as a speaker anywhere she is most excellent. Her ambition is to be a missionary to the foreign fields and wherever she goes or whatever she docs, she is sure to take with her the best wishes of a host of friends. 65 S A LI.

If it's music you're after -just call on Sallie Belle. Like most of us. Sallie Belle came to I’rsinus as a Freshman. I’nlikc most of us. she soon became distinguished by her musical talent while we modestly remained in the rear. Sallie Belle loves to play, as was shown when • he accompanied the Zwinglian Operetta. As for Sallie Belle's characteristics—those who know her best will tell of her kindly ways. When a friend is needed, Sallie Belle is capable of tilling the role to the utmost, and we like to think of her as one of these girls that we would call true blue. Please, dear reader, we would not have you think that those big brown eyes are sad or sorrowful! No. indeed, for they alone tell the secret of all the jollity and fun that is inside of this young lady. During her first year, it is said she studied diligently. However, since she became a woman, she put away such childish things, devoting her leisure hours to more important matters, especially the social privileges. Sallie Belle is held in high esteem by all her classmates and by others. If you ask her where she lives Sallie will say, Shillington, up by Reading.” It’s a good place, no doubt, and altogether unusual, judging from its name and from Sallie Belle. Nevertheless we have an idea that Sallie's home will not always be located there, if musical ability has anything to do with it. We are sure not only Zwinglians and music lovers, but all who know Sallie, wish her loads of success and luck. 66 ‘fpc- KITH MIRIAM NICKEL ‘•Nick Goldie Ruthie SOUDERTON, P, .

After registering, he reported at the football field and did his hit for the making of a good team. However, due to his poor eyesight he had to give up football in the following years. His ambition being to become a commercial translator, he therefore occupied his spare moments by studying many foreign languages. Being an ardent lover of music he attended many high class musical concerts. On the Zwing platform he has proved to us that he is an impersonator, his best being l)r. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde. As assistant baseball manager he worked hard and faithfully. He is a friend of the Freshmen. As a detective, he has no equal, and he has solved many of the mysteries of Freeland Hall. The Ruby owes much to “Obie.” lie was ever on the job to get an interesting picture and was seen anytime and all the time. At the football games he was particularly in evidence along the sidelines. For much of the photography we are indebted to “Obie. 68 ETHEL BLANCHE PAUFF Puffie” Mesqueiiomn’C, Pa.

After being exposed” to the usual secondary school course and graduated with honors, Puffy” decided that she would like to acquire some more scholastic knowledge and chose ITsinus as the best place to seek it. Our Puff” was a quiet, bashful, and rather homesick little Frosh in the early days of the class of '25. But it was not long before she became accustomed to and began to like college and college ways, and enter into the work and fun of all its activities. Early in her Freshman year she joined Schaff and the Y. V. C . A. This was only the beginning, for since then she has become associated with many organizations—the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, the Weekly Staff, the RUBY Staff, and was Editor-in-Chief of the 1924 Handbook. But the qualities that have made Puffy so popular and a favorite with all of us arc her sweet disposition and her capacity for enjoyment anil bringing it to others. It is nothing unusual for Puffy to put a roomful of girls into gales of laughter. Then, too, she can make a piano talk” and is in constant demand whenever music is wanted. As for her uke,’’ we wouldn’t know what to do without it. All in all, Puffy is just the right combination of good sense, enthusiasm and fun, and with such a combination who can doubt but that her future will he rosy with success. Into whatever work she may go the class of '25 unanimously wishes her success. 69 £ § JOHN C. PISCATOK Jack” Pmii.adei i'jua, Pa.

Jack” is one of the products of Brown Prep; some say good while other- say had. Those who really know him have come to the conclusion that he i- neither Rood nor bad but both. The ratio of these two qualities is not 50-50. but it is near there. Jack takes great pride in reminding his home town that he is still alive and so is a frequent visitor to Philadelphia, lie just loves Chestnut Street and the sight f William Penn. We can’t hate him for that. But, is that all he loves? No, not by any means. I.ike many people there has been a woman concerned. Just which one is not certain. Lime will tell. Jack is also a great lover of nature and so any warm, sunshiny afternoon he may be found drifting peacefully along in the Perk in .1 birch bark. Other than this; there is a little town not far from Collegevillc called ??? well, we’ll tell you. Bethlehem (not the one mentioned in the Book of unique and eternal importance but another one). In order to find it. any ordinary person would have to use a telescope, but Jack has been there so often, he could reach it blindfolded. We don't know much about the town but we know quite a bit about one of its residents. He tells us she's worth all kinds of money, donates a million a year to the starving Crsinus Alumni just to lower her income tax. to say nothing about her several cars, her French lingo, etc. Don’t you wish you were as lucky as this young man. After all is said and little done. Jack can study, too. He intends to take up graduate work in Biology at Penn. Here’s wishing you luck. 71 Allow ay, N. J.

Four years ago an exceedingly green Freshman set foot on this campus. He hailed from the land of Jersey and was loaded with an extra cargo of superheated imagination and an abundant supply of curiosity. We found in him the qualities of an energetic young man. “Walt” entered upon his college career with the vision of a victor. He entered the Classical Group as a student for the ministry, from which purpose he has never swerved. It is said that in the Classical Group Meetings “Walt would busy himself flattering the host while eating toast. He also learned the art of keep -ing store, as well as attending on the fair patrons. On special social evenings he was not found wanting. Still, to know Powell is to know him as a student, a persistent and diligent worker, with an ideal ever before him; better expressed in the old adage, Wisdom is better than rubies. Pal came to us full of hope, ami though unaccustomed to the wiles of the world, he sought to fathom the inscrutable and make the world better and, true to his aims, to better it by his presence. Four long years he toiled, overcoming defeat, and ever looking forward. We trust that with the passing years he will be a credit to his Alma Mater ami those who live around him. U, 72 FRED VINCENT ROEDER Hast Greenville, Pa. East Greenville High School; Mathematical, President 4 ; Student Council (4). The town of East Greenville calls this worthy lad its own for it is there that Fret! V. Roeder lirst saw the light of day. From the High School there, he gained the preliminary training which made him outstanding as a student at Vrsinus College, and from there Fred made his daily departure for the college. When Roeder came to Vrsinus he seemed a very timid, quiet and unassuming lad. It took very little time, however, until he had demonstrated his ability as a mathematician and student. And so he gradually lost that timidity and became an eager supporter of the various activities here. During his Senior year he was elected President « f the Mathematical group. Because Fred was a day student many of his qualities have never been brought to the attention of his classmates. He is a musician, lover of nature, and quite a talker when he gets started. As a pianist, we have been told, he has exceptional abilities and talent. Nor is he of the teurile man type, for back home on a moonlight night or when there is some special attraction Fred does not always travel without company. There is little doubt but that the teaching profession will claim this man’s talents, for he was one of those “student teachers” whom we had in our midst. In this work the class of iy2s expects some day to find the name of Fred Vincent Roeder as one of the leaders. May luck attend you. “A mathematician by count.” (J ■- V) 73 § HKNRY B SELLERS Perkasie, Pa.

This, ladies ami gentlemen. is just plain Henr Sellers. He pleads guilty to the soft impeachment of living in Perkasie, Pennsylvania—wherever that is—but he claims he cannot help it. How he came to be here is more than you will ever get out of us; but we are glad he is here, just the same. I.ittle seems to be known of his early life history, save that he has had a ravenous appetite since birth, and has ever been a favorite among the ladies. In the fall of 1922 Henry transferred his credits and allegiance from D rex el Institute in Philadelphia to I'rsinus. This move has proved to be a most beneficial one for the institution and student body. Few during their stay on the campus have been more prominently allied with the promotion of general interests than he. His activities have carried him into nearly every phase of local life, where he has served with credit. If he. as President of the Athletic Association, is not procuring speakers of ability for a pep’’ meeting, he is down at an athletic contest dispensing “Hot Dogs for the Rt’BY. Then when it comes to popularity, Henry comes in for the lion’s share. 'To say that he is well liked is expressing it mildly indeed. He has not definitely decided what he is going to do after leaving here. At present, however, he plans to teach school for a time, with the intention of perhaps studying law later. Irrespective of what he may choose to do, he may rest assured that he carries with him the best wishes of a legion of friends for a big, successful life. “Prince Henry, the Navigator.” £ 7+ BEATRICE EMMA SHAFER “Bea” Lehigiitos, Pa.

Neither did she stop here, but bv virtue of an enviable voice she was a member of the Choir and (Jirls' lee Club. She also does solo and quartet work wonderfulU well. In the Junior play, in which she portrayed a charming old lady, and in many other dramatic productions, she has shown her ability as an actress. “Bea has the ability of holding one's attention completely when on the platform. This is due in part to her personality, which is one of the few rare ones found in this commonplace, everyday world. She is also a member of the Weekly Staff, and we all like to read Bea's” special feature articles. The KCBV Staff was greatly strengthened by her presence and 'he never failed to do what was asked of her. We have always found her the best of companions in work and in play. She has formed many and lasting friendships. She is indifferent to Crsinus men in general, but there is a certain Doctor's son—and we all agree that Bea would make an ideal Doctor's wife. Bea is a loyal Zwinglian and we never shall forget her deliberate manner, ami the aptness of her citicisms when she held that position. If energy and a bright disposition count for success, then Bea will be at the top in a short time. She has proved her worth. 75 A. ROMA IN IS SHOEMAKER Romie” Parkessurg, Pa.

When first this wee one wandered into Collegeville, Glenwood claimed her as its own, and here she passed her Freshman and Sophomore years. We called her ‘‘baby in those days and although it seemed to be a fitting nickname, “Romie has been substituted for it. Romainc was a valuable asset to all the hilarity and light-heartedness of Glenwood, but it could not hold her for four years and as a Junior she cast her lot with Shreinerites. Since that happy day her merry chatter and little giggle may be heard in Shreincr at almost any hour. “Romie” i notorious for her perpetual good humor. We must admit though that when she has work to do and the hall persists in being noisy Romainc can shout, “Quiet, girls! and slam the door of her room with as much vehemence as might be expected from one twice her size. May Days and Gym exhibitions were always occasions on which Komaine was in prom inence. Because of her daintiness and aesthetic dancing ability she was usually chosen for a part in a special number and what a graceful elf or an adorable Pierrette she has been! “Roinie's” love of dancing is not confined to this type, for she lias always been among the regular attendants at the college dances. Although she may not look it, “Romie” loves to eat. At Shreiner s midnight feeds she has exhibited an appetite all out of proportion to her si e—especially when potato chips were on the menu. Once upon a time Romainc wondered if it was true that in Allentown Mowers grow on top of lamp posts. She knows the truth now for she has seen them. Ever since her Freshman days, Romanic's interest in the opposite sex has centered in a certain “Bill.

Yes, it’s Shuppie’’ playing her two favorites and she tells us that •‘Soldiers of the Queen comes next. Shuppie” came to Crsinus from Mauch Chunk with wonderful tales of the Switchback Railroad and rugged mountains. They were very interesting but not nearly as interesting as she herself. Shuppie loves a good time. In the hall she is the ringleader of most of the fun started, and mischief. Putting salt in someone’s bed or donning a ghostlike sheet in the middle of the night are some of her more gentle tricks. Teasing is second nature to her and the mischievous twinkle in her eye when she looks at you, betokens inevitable storms ahead of you. She loves to dance and make lots of noise. She is always happiest when doing either of these and Crsinus is going to miss them both. Shuppie spends her summers in Newark and it was reported on the campus that “Shuppie and someone—not either of her brothers—were seen together very frequently. And she has gone in for new recipes and little aprons, so that all in all it looks very suspicious. Here's the very best of luck to you, Shuppie.” a 78 McKeesport, Pa.

After graduating from the high school of his home town, he boarded the rattlers for Collcgeville. Any homesickness which may have developed was soon wiped away when K. A.

As year succeeded year these latter increased until now dame rumor has it that maybe someday . . . ; but this is not a prophecy. Alvin might well be called the Jingling Johnson of I'rsinus. as members of the Zwing can testify. Many are the laughs he has created by clever parodies, jingling rhymes, side-splitting jokes, and wise cracks. Leadership, executive ability, and success must needs be Al's lot in the future, judging from past performances. Derr Kail will forever join in thanking him for the banquets which he arranged and put over. That his many good traits did not go unnoticed is evidenced by his election as class president in his Sophomore year. Assistant Editor-in-Chief of thi . book and many other testimonials. To cap it off Alvin was entrusted with the guidance of the ship Student Government” during his Senior Year. Here his long career at water-bag throwing and sundry other accomplishments stood him in good stead. He knew the ropes and so could better deal with the culprits. After graduation Al would like to take a post-graduate course in business.

We are convinced now that first impressions arc correct. Anyone knows that it is no easy matter to graduate from Camden High, that is. with honors. Thelma did. All this can be taken for granted when we consider the grades she received while with us. Economics and history were her strong points. In history especially, she is said to be an authority. Even in Mert s classes 'he was a whiz and that is saying a good bit. At the end of her second year she decided she would like to try a University. She gave many reasons for her decision and we never could decide just which one influenced her to go to Penn. She said she wanted to be nearer home. But after spending a half-year at the University she was more than anxious to get back to her first chosen Alma Mater. We were just as glad to have her back as she was to come. There’s a little bit of bad in every good little girl, though, and Thelma did not spend all her time studying. She just learned the little trick of how to concentrate when studying. So, we often heard her sav, “Ah, let's do something. And something was usually done. With all these versatile characteristics we know she will be successful in life so we wish her all kinds of luck in her undertakings. 80 • 25 7 EDITH KVA STAUDT Werkersvii.i.c, I . Keystone Sormal School; En jlis i-Historical; Se mli; Glee Cluh; Y U'. I. We do not hear so much of Edith around the campus because she is a very busy girl. Working like a bee all day, she finds a great deal of pleasure in doing her task- well and faithfully. Big tasks are as easily surmounted as small ones, especially when one ha one's favorite chocolates and gum drops at hand to appease one’s Epicurean desires. Edith, after graduating from Keystone Normal, taught some darling little brats for a while and then decided to come to I'rsinus so she could afterwards teach some bigger ones. We know she will succeed in her work; an exacting taskmistress we should call her, for if she is so exact in preparing her work, she will surely expect it of others. Edith dotes on history, especially where seamen are concerned, because it reminds her of one particular Seaman. She is particularly fond of hiking and although she is not a member of the Knicker Brigade she wanders around a great deal and enjoys the beauties of nature. In this matter she has strong competition in the person of the Dean and we would not be at all surprised if they exchanged notes on the flora and fauna of the region. We are thus left guessing whether Edith will be author of A Floral Survey of Pennsylvania,'' a missionary (for she is interested in that type of work), or a school inarm. In any case she is sure to be successful, for she i possessed of that very necessary quality, grit. 81 K AT HER INK A. STEVENSON “K” ('i.ifton Heights, Pa.

She has a wonderful ability as an organizer and arranging situations. She can arrange other things too, and will be a great help to some lucky chap some day. The majority of the art work in this book is from the pen or brush of K.

When Ruth entered our midst a little late in the fall of 1921 we marvelled at her grace and wit. Great things were prophesied about her. and now, after four years these have been more than fulfilled.

There arc three things that women do not rare to discuss: weight, age, and their mistakes, but Darby insists that there is a fourth, the color of one's hair. Although her auburn locks are the banc of her existence, more than one fair co-ed would willingly exchange raven or chestnut tresses in return for the despised.

When our active days, at dear old Ursinus are over and we are in a reminiscent mood, reviewing in our memories the incidents ami personalities of our college life, there is one figure that will stand out prominently in our thought', one man who will have left an indelible impression upon our memories, and that man is Woodie. This gentleman bowed into the picture in the middle of September, 1922. His rotund figure, his cheerful smile, his hearty laugh soon made him a well-known character on the campus in spite of the fact that he was a day student. A pleasing Southern accent was the natural result of WoodieV boyhood days in the Sunny South, ami when he migrated to Ursinus, Tennessee’s loss was Pennsylvania’s gain. Ilis fir t year was passed in strict observance of all duties and customs. When the call for baseball candidates was issued, he blossomed birth as a southpaw and his deceptive curve and tantalizing change of pace made the opposing team gnash their teeth in wonderment. He will always be known as one of Ursinus’ heady ballplayers. Southern gentlemen are popularly supposed to be entirely devoid of that germ known as ambition, but Woodie” has shot that belief full of holes, for by hard application and assiduous effort, he will have completed his college education in three years. His last two years brought him in closer contact with the student body for he spent more of hi time in the dormitories. As an entertainer he was an ace. Ilis descriptions of Southern folk-lore and court anecdotes arc teeming with hilarity. He brings into his pictures the use of the simile with telling effect. But there is a serious side to Woodie” also, for he is a true lover of good literature and poetry.

Two milestones have been passed and at present we are catching sight of the third. The first memorable incident before our first milestone was the victory over our rivals. The Sophomores, in a great tug-of-war. one bright morning soon after our arrival. The class of 26 was not without it- social fete, and on November fifth we journeyed, via trains, trolleys, and machines to “The Lorraine” in the Cit of Brother!) Love, and enjoyed an ever-memorable time at our “Frosh” banquet. Our athletic ability was again manifested in December when on a bleak, cold day we romped away with a 16-7 victory in the annual Frosh-Soph Football game. Dutch windmills and tulips were the decorating effects that characterized the Frosh-Junior Shine on that rain) night of April 28. 1923. The tir-t year ended, a glorious one for the class c t ’26. and it was not without some regret, at least, that we held the novel cremation ceremony of our Frosh customs at the end of the year. The following September found us upon the sacred campus of our Alma Mater, this time as real Sophomores. The second year was characterized In the same fighting spirit, that gained for us an enviable reputation the year before. This time we started the ball rolling by taking the first-year men “into camp” in the annual tug-of-war. Our athletic prowess was further shown In the fact that we held the Frosh to a 6-6 tie in the interclass football match. The remainder of the year passed, with '26 always in view, seeking the goal for which it has aimed—Ursinus spirit. But all this i- past and now we are embarked upon another great lap of the journey through college life. The secret of our success may be attributed to the “Don’t give up” spirit, that has been shown in everything we have done. ROLL CALL CLASS OF 1926 A111.dr hi Helen Barth ............................

The Freshman cruiser has come into port, and safe!) anchored from its first voyage. Glorious things were spoken of it from the beginning unto the end. A tug-of-war with the Sophomore cruiser, which resulted in defeat for us. only spurred us on. however, to do greater things. After the battle, we sailed screnel) along the main until we arrived at the first scheduled port—McAllister. There, revelry and joy abounded, and we partook of our share. Excitement reigned when we feared that our captain bail been steered astray, but we were soon relieved of our false assumptions, when he reappeared, and we continued with our festivities. Our next port was Patterson Field. Here our crew encountered the antagonists of the Sophomore vessel again. This time, however, fate bad more in store for us. and we steamed away leaving them bewildered and chagrined with a tie football battle. All was well for some time. Then one da we met a fleet of vessels, namely.— Sophomore. Junior, and Senior. After an affray with each one we came off vie torious. The opposing fleet, admiring our prowess, sent our crew to aid in fighting some annoying vessels in the vicinity. A ship was equipped and manned with a crew among which were several of our number. Many battles took place in distant lands and also on the home battleground known as the Field Cage. Others took place on the illustrious Patterson Field. The weapons used were mainly basketball, baseball, and bat. As we were nearing our journey's end we sailed amidst some sharks and were successful in obtaining several for our mascots. They were of the varieties of basket ball, football, baseball, and tennis. And now, the first quarter of our voyage i over and we are just beginning to see the port in view. May the rest of our voyage bring added victories and glories. f 99 ROLL CALL—CLASS OF 1927 Clair Eugene Blum ......................................... York company a very pleasant fellow.

Shuford Peeler ---Lois Nickel Ollivio Novario I it STORY THE beginning of the school year in the fall of 1924 found the usual new and verdant individuals entering the halls of Ursinus in order to gain a little wisdom besides what the home town bad given. It was a strange place with strange ways and new things had to be learned and learned quickly. The men soon became acquainted with the geography of the town by running errands, and the girls were kept busy in the halls. But we didn’t mind doing our bit for the old “U. The first appearance of our class was in the tug-of-war the first da of school. It was a mighty battle. The first pull was in favor of the “Sophs.” the second went to us, and the third was for the class of '21. It was a hard pull and we will show some more fight when we meet them again. Our class has already contributed several men who have been playing varsity football and numerous “scrubs” which in the end make the varsity. Main Freshmen girls are also out for a position on the hockcv team. 107 ROLL CALL—CLASS OF 1928 agnes c. lorenz............ albert 1. lackman.......... alice c. fetters........... anna m. fritsch ........... anna in. ricliards......... arnold f. smith............ arthur c. faust............ aurelia a. english.........

At least tlu were new as far as the present students could remember. Not for four years had there been a glee club of am description here. Through the indefatigable and never daunted efforts of .Miss I lartenstine. the organization of both Men's and Women’s Glee Clubs were effected. The first year, more or less of an experiment, of course, produced fine results. The programs were of a high class and well rendered. Several concerts were staged by both clubs, culminating in the broadcasting by the Men’s Glee Club from station WIP in Philadelphia. With such a fine start, great things were expected in the years to come. It was hoped that Ursinus would take a prominent place in the musical world. In the fall of 1924 the organizations were effected and started work immediately. The Men’s Glee Club will give an extensive series of concerts in various parts of Eastern Pennsylvania. It is indeed fine that Ursinus can have such a fine bod of men to represent it in music. 120 MEN’S ( J.l K CUB Officers President ................ WaRREX F.

The dual debate with Juniata was a judged type debate, and Ursinus received three votes and lost three. In the Albright debate the odds were against the Ursinus teams, which lost both debates. An innovation in debating was made in the forty-eight-hour preparation debate with Haverford. Ursinus received two votes and Havcrford four. HE fall of the year 1924 brought to culmination an idea which the forensic enthusiasts had long desired ; that is. the organization of a debating club.

'25 I IlSTORY ON tlu tenth of February. 1S74. .i small number of tudents met tor the purpose of organizing a new literary society. The result of this meeting was the founding of Schaft. Phis name was adopted in honor of Hr. Philip Schaft. then President of the I nion Theological Seminary in New York City, on May 20 IS74 and the society was chartered in 1SSS. Schaft stands for the highest ideals, and her aim is to “qualify persons in the art of speaking, and become useful members of society , and promote the best interest of the institution. Friday evening of even week i set aside for the society and the furtherance of L'rsinus ideals and standards. Each year the anniversary of the society is celebrated by the presentation of some dramatic performance. Sophomore Essay Contest Winifred Derr Earl Burgard 132 ■§ First Prize . Second Prize S'CHAFF I.1TF,RAR SOCIETY celebrated its anniversary December 141b, 19 3, by presenting The Prince Chap, bv Edward Peple. It has always been the tradition in Schaff to present an historic play. I‘hi year, however, it swerved from the usual custom and presented this drama of modern life, which proved to l e not in the least disappointing. The play deals with the problem of a struggling young artist upon whom fate has thrust a tiny girl, orphaned by the death of hct mother, in the artist's studio. The situation becomes critical when Peyton, the artist, is asked by his sweetheart, Alice Travers, to give up little Claudia. Peyton refuses and she breaks the engagement. Ten years elapse and Claudia has become a beautiful young woman. She finally realizes that she loves Daddy, as she calls him, and he, rejecting Alice's penitent overtures, learns that he loves Claudia in a much different wav than as just Daddy. Eugene B. Michael, as the artist, displayed his wide versatility llis great success as Robin Hood was overwhelmingly seconded in this role. Catherine Shipe, a Claudia, was her winsome, coy, charming self and seemed to live the part of the little girl and later the young lady. Katherine Stevenson distinguished herself in the part of Alice Travers, the sweetheart of Peyton. Her rjuiet, proud dignity marked her as .1 real Alice Travers. The lighter part of the play was upheld by Augustus Welsh and Winifred Derr in the roles of Kunion, the butler, and Puckers, the little London slave. Runion received appreciative applause from the audience throughout the play. The part of Puckers was most ably taken by Mi's Derr, who repre settled the humor ami pathos of the little servant girl perfectly. The other characters were portrayed by Paul Bare, Willard Rosenberger, Edward Cook Maxwell Paine, and Elmer Herber, and in a very pleasing manner. Between acts the audience was entertained by several vocal selections rendered by Sherman Gilpin. 133 MKMBKKS OF SCU FF John Bishing Seniors Edna Martin Reda Bleistein Ethel Pauff Christine Borkc John Piscator Nettie Boyer Walter Powell Edward Cook Henry Sellers Rimer Hcrber Catherine Shupp Howard Hcrber Thelma Snape Pearl Kinics Katherine Stevenson Lucille Knipe Ruth Sutcliffe Lester Kohr Janice Wciglcy Mildred Barth J un'tors Axel Nelson Chester Brachman Maxwell Paine Winifred Derr Krcdcrick Pent- Oren CJunnet Catherine Shipe Agnes Humphreys Julia Shutack Amanda Kern Harriet Smith Ruth Kulp Ella Watkins Gerald Levengood Augustus Welsh Sophomores Karl Burgard Ruth Kuder Karl Gardner Grace Kauffman Adelaide Hathaway Bernice Leo George Haines Evelyn Lesser Grove Haines Helen Ort Merle Jenkins Catherine Thomas Arlene Krcsgc Bertha Weaver 134 ZWINGLIAN LITKRARV SOCIKTY Officers President ..............

Roehm, '26 111 STORY ON October 4th, 1870, Zwinglian Literan Society was organized. Through the inspiration of its first President. F. S. Lindamen, the society received its name. On October 8th, of the same year, the name Zwinglian was formally adopted in commemoration of the great reformer, Zwingli. On February 28th. 1880. the society was chartered. A definite home was the next necessity for the completion of the establishing of the literan society, and so in September, 1802, the society moved into the hall which it now occupies. 135 WXIYKRSARY PRAY “Dulcy” () commemorate the 1 ift fourth anniversary of the Xwinglian I Literary Society. it members digressed from the traditional program and presented the comedy, “Dulcy,” by George S. Kauffman and MarcConnoly. Ruth Nickel played the stellar role. (A C. H el ft rich portrayed Mr. C. Roger Forbes, the pearl magnate, most delightfully (if such a term might be applied to as hard-hearted a man as Mr. Forbes). Dulcy” is the reason for the complications. She converts the week end visit of Mr. Forbes, his wife, and his daughter from a business trip into a very sociable visit. She succeeds in bringing about man difficulties. 1'here are times when one wonders whether the tangles can truly be unraveled. Ruth Wclden ably portrayed Angela. Forbes' daughter Mrs. Forbes, the young wife of Mr. Forbes, was well characterized In Heat rice Shrevc. George Kirkpatrick played the part of Tom Sterrettc, an energetic young business man. MacDonell Roehm, as the “ladies’ man.” or Mr. Leach, was the typical scenario writer. W. R. Baker, as Mr. Schuyler Van Dyck, played a prominent part. The other characters were taken by Sherman F.ger as the brother of Schuyler Van Dyck, Charles Yaukey as the Butler, and H. C. Gotshalk as Dulcy's brother. xQG)_ 136 MEMBERS OK ZWINGLIAN SOCIETY Seniors Alice Berger Ruth Kistler Allen Deal Sallie Mosscr Mary Drisscl Ruth Nickel Sherman Eger Ralston Oherholtzer K.lizaheth Evans Alvin Sieber Francis Evans Beatrice Shafer Nathalie (i ret ton Romaine Shoemaker Ralph Heiges Helen Wagner Marian Hershberger Ruth Weldcn Elizabeth 1 lolloway Vivian Wismer Helen Johnson Juniors Lena Carl Isabella Radcliffc Phebe Cornog MacDoncll R( ehm Margaret Elily Morris SI iter Dorothy Hamilton William Stafford Allen Harman David Stevenson 1 )avid Kern I)orothy Threapleton (ieorge Kirkpatrick Edward Ullrich Sydney Mycts Edmund Welker Alice Miller Charles Yaukcy El wood Peters Barbara Boston Hope Diet rich Ruth Eppcheimer Aides Kraut Robert llenkels Isabelle Johnson Owen Jones Sophomores Hattie McCabe Elizabeth Miller Bcrnace Note Kathryn Reimert Samuel Reimert Elizabeth Smith Adeline Thomas D 137 cjilga HAROLD I. ZI.AIMKRMAN Coach of Men's si thirties OACH ZIMMKRMAN came to L’rsinus in tin fall of 1023 after he had de-velopcd mam winning combinations at Norristown High School. Since then he has given his entire and whole-hearted ability to the development of winning teams. A coach is usually judged by his ability to have winning teams. Aside from having good teams. “Zimim has put new life into the Athletic Association and it has become a much stronger organization under his leadership and direction. In order to have a good team to represent the school, the entire school must get behind the coach. We believe we have been behind him. and we will be hack of Zimmerman in the future. 140 § f FOOTBALL FRANC IS C. M s Captain of Football Scurvy, as he is familiarly known about the campus, hails from the Teutonic village of Lebanon, Pennsylvania, where the first rudiments of football were instilled into his burly pate. With the realization that he was looked upon to uphold the reputation of his illustrious brother, he started off in his Freshman year with a bang. S-Utvy is a versatile player, knows football inside out, and has starred in the backfield and at etui. His play has l een the redeeming feature of many poorly-played games. When candidates for the mythical all-time I'rsinus Eleven are mustered, we venture his name will rank alongside of Moser and Gotshalk.

Several stars were graduated the preceding June, leaving as many hole to be plugged in both the line and backfield. However, rumors began to float about as early as July that there would t c a lot of tine material on hand when practice started September 1st. True enough a goodly number of men with ability reported the tir't week. Hut it takes time to develop stars or to mold a winning team. In the usual pre-season game with Williamson it was clearly seen that there must be a great deal of polishing clone before the machine could l e expected to function with smoothness and precision. The defense was there, but the offense seemed to flash at intervals, then suddenly fade into oblivion. These characteristics were in evidence in every game, except those with Haverford and Susquehanna. The regular schedule opened with Penn on Franklin Field. September 27th. This was the first game wc have played with her since pre-war days. It was a hard-fought battle from beginning to end. At the end of the first quarter the Red team was more than bedding its own. But the constant hammering, aided by frequent substitutions, broke down our forward wall, and thirty-four points were piled up during the remaining three quarters, most of which were made in the last half. Drexel was beaten the next week on Straw-bridge and Clothier Field. 6-0. The battering the team had taken the week previous was clearly reflected in this game. We were lucky to win. On October nth Delaware Cniversity came to Patterson Field to give us a chance to avenge the defeat they never should have given us at Newark in 1923. As usual the line was impregnable, but the punch to put across a score was lacking, ami we were forced to accept a 0-0 tie. Then came Swathmore the following week. The Garnet flashed a brilliant passing attack in the first half, anil with the aid of long end runs, shoved the ball over for two touchdowns. But we came back strong in the second half, outplayed them, and rushed the pigskin behind their goal for a touchdown. Score 13-6. The bitterest pill of the season was passed around on October 25th. at Norristown, when P. M. C. gave us a 23-0 thrashing. The Cadets opened the old trick bag. and completely bewildered us. Stung to the quick by the loss of the preceding week, we flew into Haverford November 1st, and swamped them, 28-0. There was plenty of offense that day. November 8th (’. C. N. V., evidently hearing of the P. M. C. game, resorted to tricks that have grown moldy with age, and romped through and around us to the tune of 19-6. Our next trip to Norristown to play an opposing team met with about the same success as the first. On. this occasion F. and M. made us like it. 27-0. 'The one real ray of sunshine that was to beam through the gloom of a dark season burst forth on November 22nd, when wc ran rough shod over Susquehanna. The score. 21-7, did not indicate our superiority. THE LINE-UP Ends—Captain Evans. Stafford, and Henkels. Tackles—Hunsicker, Yankee. Strine. and Hcrbcr. Guards—Clark. Skinner. Vanaman. and Novario.

The opening A game was played at Pennsburg against the strong Perkiomen School team.

Erb scored a touchdown near the end of the second period. Cireater work and experience won for Perkiomen. ij-6. West Chester found the reserve team much stronger than they had expected, ami had to right hard to earn a victory from the Junior Varsity, the final score being 7-0. Hoerner had his leg broken in the first period and was lost to the team for the remainder of the season. V. Moyer’s punting featured. Corson, Cornelius, Rcimert, and Faust played exceptionally well. The third defeat in as many starts came at Allentown, when the strong Allentown Prep team scored 22 points in a listless game in which the Junior Varsity lacked their usual pep and fight. Wenonah Military Academy, one of the best preparatory school teams in the east, fell the first victim to the scrubs’ attack at Wenonah, 13-0. ‘'Bill” Denney ran the team in varsity style. Rcimert. I.at'laire, Strine, Faust, and W. Moyer were the stars in this victory. The scrubs scored early in the second half. LaClaire catching a forward pass from Denney and running for a touchdown. Faust intercepted a forward pass late in the fourth period and ran 70 yards for a score. 'I’hc final game of the season was played with Phoenixville High School, and resulted in a scoreless tie. The Junior Varsity scored twice as many first downs as their opponents, but was unable to score due to poor judgment when within scoring distance. The fight shown bv these men throughout the season was most admirable. These men will be 0:1 the varsity before many seasons. Watch them. 150 BASKEIMLL 6 THK VARSITY Forwards Evans Wismer Sterner Kirn Centers Sommer Derk ( iOTSII AI.K Guards Koeiim Clark Heic.es ----------------------------------------§• 152 § « BASKET LI SEASON OF 1924 THE Basketball Season of 1923-1924 can be regarded as peculiar in many respect . The curtain went up on December 17 h on what promised to be one of the most successful seasons in I'rsinus Basketball history. The material was there, the coach was there, but alas, we hail no captain! Just why the team did not win any more games than it did. there will always be a difference Ol opinion, but it seemed to be evident from the -tart that there was a lack of co-operation so necessary for first class team play. However, we do not leave the impression that the season was a failure, for we won eight games and lost ten. Out of the first five games, we won four in handy fashion, defeating Philadelphia Textile. Osteopathy, Drexel Institute, and Moravian Seminary, and lost a close game to Temple University. In this game, which was the second of the season, the Conwellites piled up a commanding lead in the first half, only to 'ee it dwindled down to the narrow margin of four points. The come-back powers of the team in this game were clearly demonstrated. Then, beginning on January 16th, there came a series of reverst including losses to St. Joseph, Muhlenberg. Dickinson, and Drexel. These teams were fortunate in having veteran combinations which worked with the precision of a clock, and were exceedingly strong. However, the team returned home after this disastrous series of games away from home and showed their appreciation of home cooking by trimming Susquehanna in an east fashion. But just as we were grooming ourselves for a string of victories, the team dropped three in a row to Albright, (iallaudrt, and St. Johns. Then things brightened up a bit when we clearly outclassed iiaverford, only temporarily, for we were decisively beaten by Delaware the next week. March 1st found us swinging into the final stretch. First we won from P. .VI. then lost to Iiaverford, and closed the erratic season by administering .1 one-sided defeat to our ancient rival. F. M. In summarizing the season it might be well to s3 that all of the games dropped by the team were lost on foreign courts. This must be taken under consideration. For example. Iiaverford was soundly trounced in Patterson Field I age, 29-8, while we lost to them on their court, 28-17. and Drexel was beaten. 54-16. in Collegeville. but they made us like it in Philadelphia to the tune of 32-27. O 153 THK VARSITY SQl 'Al) C'l OOSK W1SMER is one of the most versatile athletes that ever wore Crsinus athletic -v toggery. He was equally strong in all three major sports of football, basketball, ami baseball. IIi value to the team could never be overestimated. Fast, quick to -ize up the situation, and adept at dribbling, he represented a triple combination that will long be remembered. “Hal'' Gotshalk was a veritable Koek of Gibraltar on the defense Time after time his stellar guarding saved the day. He could find time to sneak down the floor and drop one in the basket. “Hal played four ears of consistently brilliant basketball for the Red. Old Gold, and Black. Mox Derk came to us from Bloomsburg Normal, where lie enjoyed a wide reputation as a first-class athlete. 11 is pivotal playing was featured by exceptional defensive ability. We confidently believe that in “Nlox we have a mainstay for a great team for the next two years. Ralph lleiges also is a Normal School athlete, coming from Shippensburg. Though handicapped by lightness in weight, he possesses speed and stamina. It was early seen that the coach was wise in selecting him to play the dual role of guard and forward as he became high-scorer for the season. “Gyp Sterner, after having starred at C'ollegeville High School, came to I’rsinus. where he continued to shine more brilliantly. He has wonderful possibilities, and should develop during the next two years into a flashy forward. Gyp works hard, keeps in perfect condition, and never gives up.

Me entered with advanced standing and played three years of steady and brainy baseball. One of the most difficult tasks in baseball is to convert an infielder into a catcher, and yet that is one of the accomplishments that he successfully effected. His battery mate his Sophomore year was none other than the incomparable “Pop Cor-nog, and these two gentlemen made life miserable for opposing ball clubs. Zeke continued to don the mask his Junior year and did it so well that he was unanimously elected captain in his Senior year. Ilis staccato entreaties kept bis own men constantly on their toes, and playing a brilliant brand of baseball, he led his team to one of the most successful seasons that Crsinus has enjoyed.

There was an abundance of infield, outfield and battery material on hand, out of which we felt sure a winning team would develop. Several weeks were spent in the cage limbering up soup bones and sharpening batting eyes. Finally the call to arms was sounded. The boys marched out on the field April 3. and gave Osteopathy a one to nothing trimming. Thus the lid was pried off a season, embracing a schedule of 21 games. Severe weather forced the cancellation of three games, one each with Lehigh, Muhlenberg, and Delaware. In fact, bad weather conditions were a handicap to the team all spring. Out of five games played in April three were won and two lost. Gettysburg was trounced on her own grounds in a thrilling ten-inning game by a score of seven to four. The next week she came to Collegevillc ami got revenge by beating us eight to two. Penn, however, was lucky to beat us eight to six. We forged to the front in this game two or three times, only to boot it away at the last. Then Rutgers was snowed under an avalanche of hits to the tune of eleven to eight. The first two games in May were decided reverses at the hands of Lebanon Valley and Seton Hall, both away from home. Then came four straight victories—Dickinson, Haverford, P. M. C.. and Swarthmore were all disposed of in easy fashion. Following this, the team hit the road to play Susquehanna and F. M. The former gave us a neat lacing, but we turned the tables in Lancaster and shut the latter out. May 30 brought the climax to the entire season in the form of a brilliant win over Penn State in the first of a two-game series at State College. The second game was lost to them by a one-sided score. There were but three games played in June. The first was lost to Juniata in Huntingdon on June 3rd. Schuylkill College was easily defeated in Reading on June 5th. But F. M. got sweet revenge for a previous licking by winning the last game of the reason on June 7th. On the whole the season was most successful. Out of eighteen games played, ten were won and eight lost. However, several games were lost that should have been chalked up in the win column. Two games were lost to teams that had been decisively beaten earlier in the season. Every team has its good and bad days. Hatterymen—Captain High, Derk. Wood, and Eckerd. Infielders—Clark, Kern, Faye, and Wistner. Outfielders—Jones, Flitter. Corson, and Loux. Manager—Hassler. 158 TKNNIS Rf.imfrt Whi.sii Heighs Deal Gotshalk Herber THE 1024 tennis season was highly unsuccessful. The members of the team. without exception, had no experience in tournament play. In ever) match they gave account of themselves, but did not have the final punch necessary to win. The team was vanquished by Osteopathy, Haverford, Franklin and Marshal, once by each, and by Moravian twice. With the experience gained during this season, there is reason to believe that Ursinus’ team will he stronger in 1025. 159 Girl's Rthletics GERALDINE R. McGOWAN Coach oi It omen s .7thirties | T ISS McGOWAN is a newcomer at Ursinus. She was graduated from the IVX New Haven School of Gymnastics and had been teaching at the Mary C. Wheeler School at Providence, R. I. She has only been here at Ursinus a short time, hut in this short time she has become known for her expert coaching. In gymnastics and aesthetic dancing, she also excels. All the girls who have had anj work whatsoever under Miss McGowan think she is indeed fine. We feel sure that the athletics of Ursinus for the young women will steadily become better and still better. Let us put Ursinus on the map in women’s athletics. 162 WOMEN’S BASKETBALL Margaret Mills.

In all lines of athletics Marg is capable of leading everyone. Starring at lla ldonfield High as Varsity center she gained a reputation as a basketball player. She came to I’rsinus and landed a place on the Varsity as center. Here she played a -t ady game during her four years. Marg is known for her tin? passing and particularly it accuracy. BASKKTBAI.1. SKASON ()!• 1924 THE last hockey game had scarcely been played when the girls began trickling out to the field cage for basketball practice. Under Miss Roe's skillful tutorage, a team was produced that was of much credit to Crsinus. At center, Marg Mills, captain, played well at all times, and continually outwitted her opponents. She was ably assisted in the center one by “Bet Evans as side center, who did her very best to keep up the family record by showing real I'rsinus fight at all times. “Henny Isenberg. for four years a member of the Varsity, played a most remarkable game at guard. She stuck like glue to her forwards in all the contests. Mickey Johnson achieved one of the biggest honors possible by making the team in her Freshman year as guard. I ena Carl and Phebe Cornog cannot l e given enough credit for their flashy floor playing and ability to find the basket, scoring an etjual number of points. From the first game, which was an overwhelming victory over Albright, it was evident that the team was going to play together and show some real team work. The result was that the team suffered but three defeats—two at the hands of Temple, ami one from Dickinson. Most of the games were won bv one-sided scores, Crsinus completely outplaying her opponents. It was one of the most successful seasons ever enjoyed by the Women's Basketball team, and the slogan now is “Beat Temple. m 16+ HOCKKY I I M Right Wing—Kathryn Rcimert Left Wing—Julia Shutack Center—Lucilc Knipe Right Halt Isabelle Johnson Right Full—Hernia- Leo Right Inside Gertrude Rothenbcrger Lett Inside Ruth Nickel Center Half Llizabeth I.vans Left Half Phehe Cornog Left Full—Lena Carl Goal Keeper—Winifred Derr Substitutes- Hattie McCabe.

Beginning her career as a hockey player, in her Freshman year, she has continued four years. She alone of all her husky classmates was able to make the Varsity in the Freshman year, dribbling her way to success. It is with honest regret that the hockey team loses this valuable little player. HOCKEY SEASON OE 1924 Till; sun has set upon the 1924 hockey season, bringing an end to mam glorious days of exercise and many exhibitions of true sportsmanship. Because of the short schedule, a new custom arose of playing interclass and interhall games. These contests aroused much interest and afforded excellent practice for the Varsity. The forward line, led by the captain, Lucile Knipc. dribbled down the field, aided by “Trudie” Rothenberger and Ruth Nickel. At the wing positions we found Kathryn Keimert and Julia Shutack. In the rear of this illustrious forward line se found the talented halfbacks. “Mickey Johnson. Phebe Cornog, and Bet Evans, who did much to spur the team on and brace the defense. Lena C arl and Bernice Leo saved many a goal for the Red, Old Gold, and Black. And last but not least was our ever-dependable Winnie Derr, who gave many pretty exhibitions of blocking the enemy's goals. Space must here be given to mention the faithful subs—Miller. Shipe, McCabe, and Kulp. Although the season was not glorious as far as victories are concerned, vet the benefits derived from the season were great. Fhe outlook for future teams is good and the results of this season will be seen more clearly in the future. 166 I OK I'KSl NT' (ROSS WORD PCZZI.I. A I) DU IS A cron i.

We had a very long session in chapel this morning and I just came over to the Hall. You know the Freshmen had their banquet in Philadelphia the other night. Of course, we knew those daring Sophomores would be up to something, but Mr. Omwake had absolutely forbidden ha ing or anything of that sort, so we never expected they'd go so far as they did. My dear, what do you think they did? They actually stacked (very thoroughly, at that) all the Frosh rooms in the Boys' dormitories, and even those down town. Complaints were sent into the office by Mrs. Krmold and people of the town, and Dr. Omwake expressed his views this morning in no uncertain terms. Mrs. Krmold said the damage done was terrible, and she ought to know. Those boys ought to grow up sometime, don’t you think so? Now the class has to pay for the damage done, if it can be collected. The football season has been very successful this year. Columbia and Swarthmore beat us by very low scores. Not long ago we won a decisive victory over Albright, our boys easily winning, 28 to (,. Hut last Saturday, sad to say. luck was against us. for P. M. C. won, 29 to 17. We were so disappointed. Tuesday night we were all given the privilege of hearing the great Dr. Conwelt deliver his famous lecture, Acres of Diamonds. It must have l een the six thousandth and sixth time, or thereabouts. We all enjoyed it very, very much, and I for one wouldn't mind hearing it again. I'm taking that course in Secondary Education this semester—under P. A. M. It's very difficult—on the average I spend three hours on eath lesson, but 1 hope to get at least A at midyears. I really enjoy it. Mr. Men i- so humorous—the other day it was very warm in the classroom, so one of the fellows attempted opening the window, but he couldn't budge it. Fhen Eddie Cook tried and succeeded immediately. Mr. Mertz came forth with this— It takes a Methodist minister to let out the hot air. French isn't so enjoyable this year—we have a new professor whose standards of markings are too high for us. lie told Sallie Mosser that she was quite good, and also that she hail an average of C-. He doesn't mind marking hard. Oh! No! Tuesday evening we had a pep meeting and we had the pep, too. You know we play F. A- M. Saturdav, and we are going to beat them, just watch us. Quite a few will go to see the boys bring home the bacon. I really must stop now and dig in to French for next class. Besides. I've exhausted my supply of news. So goodbye, and write soon. Your devoted friend, Shreiner Hall, Cell o. 19, Tuesday, November 27. 192?. My dear Pegotty: As I'm kissing the old institution goodbye tomorrow anil trotting home to mamma and the boys for a few days, I thought I'd better drop you a few lines before leaving, for goodness only knows when I'll get the chance again. I was terribly miffed, Pegasus, that you didn't get up for the dance last Saturday night, but we had a cold time of it. i thought half the kids would be down with pneumonia the next day, but everyone seems to have survived. I'll let you know the date of the next one, anil if it is at all possible for you to come, why I'd be glad to have you. Let me know in plentv of time, though, so I can scare up a date for you—you know these Crsinus sheiks always ask girls such a long time beforehand. Wow!! Next joke!!! This place has been as dead as a doornail for the last two weeks. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you about the holiday e Or. Oinwakus granted to us about two weeks ago. A holiday can you imagine it? Oh, we danced ? ? ? 'neverything! Hut really. Peggy, the bonfire was lovely in the evening! We were given the holiday because our football team beat F. Sc M., whom we hadn't walloped for several years. Sammy Eckerd's “educated toe did the trick! I'll tell you, there was great rejoicing at 'Sinus on the eve of November 17. Peggy, you remember those Kistler girls, don't you? Cousins? The one is so fat and the other so thin? Well, Naomi, (the thin one) does make the funniest remarks. Miss Waldron said to her while planning the hall Xmas party, “Naomi, lend me your car' for a minute. Naomi, still miles away, answered. “What’s the matter with your own? And “Rufus” (the fat one) she's funnier than ever. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you about the morning after Hallowe'en. You should have been here! The chapel was all fixed up and decorated, but the funniest thing of all happened while the announcements were being made. Right in the midst of the announcements there was a ringing and it sounded like about skeenteen alarm clocks. “Mutt Yost was in charge that morning, and I wish you could have seen him. Well, “Mut” went out to wrestle with this alarm clock to stop the bloomin’ thing. He finally succeeded and came in and sat down. No sooner had he come in than it started ringing again, and this time he took it down into the cellar and I guess buried it. It's not every day that we have such a good chapel service. I must pack my things before hitting the hay, so I better ring off. So long. Your loving pal. DEE. Dog House, December 7. 1923. Dear Peg: Do you remember last year this time ami Robin Hood? I think you have lots of reasons to. I suppose you know that this year Schaff is giving The Prince Chap.' so wouldn't you like to come up for Friday night? Mike and Kit Shipe are -.tarring. It looks pretty good to me; I watched practice last night. And may I also ask for the pleasure of taking you to our Terpsichorean Palace on Saturday Eve? We shall trip the light fantastic toe until the wee small hour of eleven. Maj I hope for a favorable reply? As ever, PAT. P. S.—I think Ann M. is writing too. and asking you to come. Shreincr Hall. December 9. 1923. Dearest Peggy: I suppose by this time you’ve gotten Pat's letter, and I hope you told him you were coming. You’re to stay with me, so don’t forget Please, please come. I know I should have written sooner, but I've been so busy. Whenever we have some big event on the go. it's a signal for the faculty to put their wise heads together and plan some nice exams. That's what they did this week. Hence my delinquency. Do you remember of mv speaking of the new French professor and his wife who live next door? Well, it seems they were just recently married and they are 'till quite confectionery, so to speak. It is really quite as good as the Garrick, sometimes. The other night I wouldn't have missed it for anything. Here's a good one on Ella Watkins. Puffy and she walked down to Polcv's store last night after dinner to buy some oatmeal (you know that fad of Puffy's). Walking back Puffy noticed that Ella was carrying a Lancaster Almanac, and asked her why she had bought that. Ella saiil she had just picked it up off the counter, and then she noticed it was marked, Price. 15 cents. Well, she nearly collapsed, she thought it was a souvenir calendar. We laughed and laughed, ami “Shuppie started kidding her about being a kleptomaniac. Poor Ella went down to Poley's and returned the calendar, explaining as best she could. As I said before, we could cheerfullv get along without the profe-sors, I believe; especially just now. They're becoming much sterner this year. Doctor Tower reported Rcda Blcistcin at Faculty meeting as being too noisy in Psych. Can you imagine it? But I harlie Yaukey pulled a good one—he told Doc Allen that he really docs get inspiration from other sources save Faculty reports. We haven't heard what Doc Allen said in reply. Well, I'll be able to tell you about the doings in a week instead of writing them, I hope, so Good night. ANNE. 171 % Uminus College. January 25, 19 4 Dear Old Kid: Sufferin' cat ., but this was one terrible week. I'll bet you this is one time in your life you’re glad that you're anywhere but back at Crsinus. I have a big notion to pack my trunk so as to be ready when the marks arrive, for no kiddin' but some of those exams were corkers. In keeping with our spirits (and they were zero) the thermometer took one awful downward swerve, and the whole faculty invested in earmuffs. -Bill Keimert ran the university into debt last week when he had a new radiator put in his room in order to embrace his scholastic opportunities for the hist time this year. But I guess I'll be receiving a breakage bill from the Lab. in order to make up the deficit. As a result of this terrifically cold weather, “Shuppie,” (you remember her—that jolly, pleasingly plump girl) contracted a cold and sent Nettie' Bover to the doctor for relief. We have a new doctor—Whitey Price, late football coach of F. M. Well, Doctor Price, after some puzzling queries, gave Nettie a box for the patient labeled l ake till your head dries up. “Shuppie averred it was a very unnecessary injunction!

I suppose you’re almost tired of my raving, but just a few words more. We have a recess of several days—a lull between spasms. I'm going to have one good time. First of all, I'm going home—go shopping with mother—very necessary. Oh, I forgot to say. I've got two dances and a matinee on. and gosh knows what else. I'm still hitting on all fours! There goes the dinner bell. Remember me to the mere and kid brother. Lots of the unusual. DEE. § 172 Olevian Hall, February 13, 1924. My dear Margaret: Well, another Founders’ Day ha- passed—only one more for me—for you too, were you here. The usual thing—chapel thi- afternoon, choir and all, and a speaker from Japan. The Rev. David B. Schueder. The family dinner, of course—the best eats of the year! As wise and worthy Juniors we ate in the Main dining room and hail the privilege of listening to several other speakers. Some of the girls didn't seem to consider it a privilege though, for they snuck out as soon as they could—they're so frivolous. When will they grow up? The college has been frothing with excitement this past week. Dr. Omwake has been trying to get the student body, especially the men, to go in for dress reform. He launched forth the other morning in chapel in a tirade against “improper attire and slovenly appearance. In some cases it had the desired etfcct. “Chicken Deal ha- even set up an agency through which all subscribers may correct thi- evil. Because of Founders' Day we didn't have Ed. Psych, this afternoon. Really, in that class even, I almost fall asleep. Evidently Nattie has a hard time too, for the other day she burst forth with Oh, dear. (Maybe she was dreaming of Botz, who knows? Well, at any rate, Dr. Tower immediately became much excited and said, “Did anyone speak to me? Imagine! Nattie ought to l c more careful. Speaking further of professional eccentricities—this is really good. 1 he new French prof.—you've heard « t him before, I hope—he's been quite in the limelight—well, in French 5 yesterday, he was very much annoyed by the attentions of an infinitesimal insect and laboriously strove to perform an execution. The class, unusually kindhearted, protested, but Bret answered with Oh, but don't you see, it's a case of self-preservation.’ Margaret, he’s almost six feet. There is a terrible epidemic of “hopping to save traveling expenses, 1 suppose. Even the girls, I hear, sometimes stoop so low. At any rate. Haas, a freshman and a Methodist minister in the bargain, decided to save twenty-seven cents and get to C ollegcville by a way other than the Toonerville. He did—he came on a taxi—I guss he won’t hop” for a while. (Ilcnwood is out of quarantine again—glad to be at large, but indignant because of the cuts counting. They said they had a good time, and are offering a course in Domestic Science—matriculation fee. one case of Campbell s Tomato Soup. I he latest bulletin from the basketball battle—Dickinson 61, Crsinus 29, and Drexel 32, I rsinus 29. It’s too bad. The girls won from both Drexel and Albright—that’s all right. Bedtime, and I’ve no more light cuts, so Good night, JANE. 173 Shreiner Hall. February 27, 1924. Dear Old Pal: Don't ay it—I know I've neglected you teriibly these last weeks—the usual excuse, too busy. It's really been pretty nice though since Midyears, but I made good resolutions, to study more. After a casual glance at my marks. 1 decided it would be rather advisable. Hence, my negligence. Why did you have to select last Saturday to go to Baltimore? I suppose your mother told you that I called tip? You see. at the last minute we ‘tins decided to go on a spree—to celebrate the passing of the midyears, and Phillv seemed the best place. Rufus, of course, was along, ami she was a scream! We saw the “Gingham Girl. The hero to old dowager: “That’s a fine set of chins you have. I looked at Rufus, and sure enough she was stroking her set. We sure did razz her. That same Saturday—we thought we’d have a good meal for once—so we went to Wanamaker’s for lunch. I'm afraid Shuppie didn't enjoy it though, because she ordered a chicken salad sandwich, and when it arrived, she didn’t know how to go about eating it. We suggested that she take a plunge (by elevator) to the first floor and buy an etiquette book, but finally Ella came to the rescue. Here comes Mrs. Ermold? ! ? ! She’s gone, but I just slammed the bureau drawer on my curling iron in time—I'm still out of breath. She's just the same as ever; the latest is that she regulates the quantity of bath water for the Olevian girls. Humph! Do you remember Henry Sellers? And of course I needn't ask if you remember I . A. Mertz! Well, the other day in Ed to the last-mentioned asked one of his usual pert questions: Who put faith in numbers. Sellers? Henry was equal to the occasion: Solomon, he said. Whereupon Mertz handed over his watch! Shuppie just came back from a walk—said she had lots of fun, she fell twice! Zowie! She falls hard, too! This is really funny, though -Shuppie just heard a Salvation Army woman approach Charlie Crsinus (you know, the working man tip here) and ask, “Do you want to work for Jesus? Charlie wasn't enthused, and made his answer thus: No, I’ve gotta job up here at the college. Wow! The same old couples. Peggy. Ruth and Alvin are as serenely decorous as ever, and Warren has taken to buying Dot volumes of poetry to read to him during the twilight hours. As for Betz and Davy, the case progresses. But Nattie and Jazz insist that they heard Betz bid him goodnite, If I never see you again that will be soon enough. Same Betz! I don't think college is doing some people any good at all, but then maybe they would be even more hopeless if they weren’t here! For instance,—Powell asked Gardner what David Copperfield was playing in. when the latter happened to say he had seen him in the movies. But then, you know! Darlint, it’s time for me to close and get dressed for dinner—it takes me longer than it does my two roomies with their I sobbed tresses. So au re voir. Lots of luf, ANNE. P. S.—If I send a stamp, will you answer at once? f 174 The Institoot, March i, 1924. Dearest Peg: Hully Gee. I'm tired. It's only 8:15, hut I'm more than ready to hit the hay. Came over from Olcvian a little while ago; I helped Thelma Snape carry Ann Nelson’s dinner over to the hall. Thelma is a thoughtful kid. It started to drizzle, and she asked Shcrm Eger to get her an umbrella 'cause she “didn’t want to get the soup wet. Marian Hershberger just blew in from Philly while I was there. She went to a dance last night, anil now she is sporting an awful lump above her front teeth. She sure got razzed. The Leap Year Dance came off with a grand biff bang last week-end. (lollies, it was lots of fun. Forty men killed in the rush. What I wasn't especially tickled about was parting with my Pop's hard earned money. The expenditure left me broke flat, onlj three cents to my name after I had paid our wav into the Great ITsinus Roof Garden. i Don’t get excited. I'm referring to the same old Field Cage; just painting a name, that's all.) Oh, gosh, I’m as sleepy as though I was in Philosophy or I.it. class. That reminds me. This morning “Doc” Smith, looking straight at the row of girls of which I was the dead center, said, “College students, they look like monkeys, but we know they aren't. Then he wondered why we laughed, and rapped feverishly for attention. Was in C. E. t'other nite, second time this year. Getting good, n'cst-cc-pas. Yes, indeed, I laughed only once. It was when “Kockic drawled, as he si,lied over to Bobbie Boston, “Papa goes where mamma goes. There sure are some lively Frosh this year; funny, too. Betty Smith, one of the South Hall kids, ran into Barttnan s this morning and demanded a bunch of kills. Mr. Bartman, more at a loss than ever I saw him. just repeated the word dazedly. “Kids? Sure. said Betty, “the kind you wear in your hair. I gue she meant her hair. Last Tuesday night something exciting really did happen. We were seated for the time being. You see, one of the third floor kids saw a man looking in the transom. You know, that fire-escape. Oh. boy, she let out one awful screech and had the whole thirty to the scene of alarm in two seconds. Some brave damsels ran around the house, but no man. Warren Bietsch, who strangely enough (?!) happened to be at Shreinci at the time, also did some rcconnoitering—likewise, no success. No soap, no two victrolas. Well, wc quieted down, and a few hours later went to bed after hiding our money and “jools.” Oh, gosh. yes. And then the fun began. About eleven, just as we’uns were about to succumb to the charms of the sand-man, wc heard foot-steps on the path going to South. Cripcs Maria. It sounded like two dozen Hessian horsemen. Every one on our side of the hall did a broad jump out of bed and ran to a window. By the light of the moon we saw Warren Bietsch, Cookie the younger), “(Jus Welsh, Forry I.enker, and Bob Rensch very nondescriptly clad, and armed with several varieties of barbaric weapons. Wc were surprised, to say the least. You can bet your gold tooth on that The Warren called frantically, Dot, Dot! Are you all right? Dot, is anyone down here? Dot assured him that no one had disturbed our peace and happiness. Without one word, and before the rot of us could open our mouths, the armed forces turned and ran back to the dorms, leaving us shivering and mystified. The mystery was explained next morning. It scents they heard some one screaming, and naturally expected Shreiner was being robbed and murdered. Deciding that there were several persons within these walls worth saving, they armed themselves as knights of old and sallied forth to do the rescue stuff. It was too bad We really couldn't use them. Tonite at dinner Shuppic told me that her new sweater fit her like the paper on the wall. Oppenheimer looked slightly interested. Hot dickety! O-O-Oh, I'm 0 sleepy. Heck, I wish I had something exciting to do; not even a novel in sight, though. Guess I'll cuddle down in my downy (as rocks) nest. Goodnite. Worse than ever, DEE. Here's a poem I wrote; circumstances made it very fitting; it’s called “Shreiner's Soliloquy : Where's a girl a goin' And what's she gonna do And how’s she gonna do it 'Less she breaks a ride or two. 175 Dog House, March 15, 1924. Dear Peg: This i' to tell you that I am hoping you are coining up here to your former Alma Mater next week-end—Zwing Anniversary, yon know. A play this year— Dulcy —Ruth Nickel and Zeus llelffrich starring. And Saturday night, of course, the dance. You're coming, aren't you? Dee said she thought you would. If you should happen to wonder why 1 can't seem to write connectedly—well, here's the reason. Just a minute ago Henry Sellers, with humorous intent, asked, “It a hull gets mad at a red bandanna handkerchief, what would he do if he saw the Red Sea? Not even (Jus'' or “Kochie attempted answering him. And at present Stan Moyer and Kochie are greatly interested in kissing. Stan, scientifically: I hear a great many people have been killed by kissing. Kochie said. 'A cs. but it's great stuff if you live through it. I guess he knows; he just came up from Shreiner. Nothing more to sav except that again I urge you to come next Friday night. As ever, PAT. % 176 Olevian Hall. April 27, 1924. My dear Margaret: I realize that I should have written to you long before thi . but you know I am kept so very busy studying. I am of this opinion (for what does one come to college if not to embrace one’s scholastic opportunities, as it were) and that is precisely what I am doing. The other girls are just now playing the vie, or enjoying themselves in some other manner, so I thought this an opportune time to write to you. I shall have to hurry because it is now 6:35 and lights go out at 10:30. and I have one class tomorrow! Margaret. I must tell you, I have received more shocks the last couple of weeks than I ever received before in my life. This vulgar hair bobbing craze has again ravaged the place. Some of our most seemingly dignified and stately girls had their hair bobbed. I still believe as did our grandmothers that a woman's hair is her crowning beauty. Imagine!! Beatrice Shreve, Helen Cironinger, and Mary Drissel are among the victims. Can you imagine Mary Drissel having her hair bobbed? Why, I tell you from the bottom of m heart—I considered her one of mv best friends, and to think that she should stoop to have her yellow locks cut—oh, it was unbelievable; I was so hurt. I have read in the paper that in the course of a short time bobbed hair girls will become bold—really. Margaret. I would not feel sorry for them. The time of the year has again come round for Mertz's horrid intelligence tests 1 declare I was so excited for fear that I wouldn't do well when I took them that I believe I didn't do myself justice. You know Mr. Mertz is such a funny man. I guess I must have told you before, but he is so witty. I laugh more in one of his classes than I do in a whole week outside « f his classes. What I wanted to say in connection with the intelligence tests is about the stupidity one finds in Freshmen. The day before the test a Frosh called “Stettv asked her roommate who the senator of the navy was. Really, it is astounding. One can overlook such stupidity in persons who have never had the opportunity to go to school, but in college Freshmen it is----- You know the Ruby sells candy, but there is just one evil. It leads to bad habits I have been told that Mandy Kern ate on an average of $2.00 worth of candy a week. And there are others that eat almost as much. Of course, the candy i- so neat that it is a big temptation—but I should really think the girls would know l etter. Their stomachs certainlv can’t stand anything like that for long. I)r. Omwake either ought to issue an order regulating the amount of candy a girl mat eat. or the Ruby ought not to be pul out. I imagine the editor thinks it should not l e put out. I do hope I -hall have more cheerful things to tell you in mv next letter, but the things that I have told you happened and seemed so important to me that I just had to give vent to my feelings I surely hope you shall find time to answer this within the next few week' Sincerely. JANE. 177 Monday, June 9th, on a trunk. Dear 01(1 Kid: Well, all the weepy proceedings are over, the old campus is beginning to look like “No Man's Land,” and I gue there's nothing more exciting in prospect—even the Pottstown Hand packed up and left—so I might as well answer your letter of—well, about four weeks ago—you poor neglected thing. You may wonder why I'm languishing here at 5 p. in. Well, the truth is the family and the bus intended coming and take their darling home in state, but I guess they had a flat tire or something else. I may have to resort to the Toonervillc after all. I owe the institution fifteen dollars—that’s another pleasant thing to tell dad. You see, I've had a double socket and a curling iron all year, and Mrs. Lrmold got wise and let the office in on her information—she does so have the welfare of the college at heart. Lots of girls got bills, and the next da the painters started giving Superhousc a new dose of cosmetics—don't you think that was sorta rash? They didn't have the money yet. Hot dickety! It's been a queer week-end, in fact the whole last two weeks have seemed cuckoo. At first, of course, exams—I never was so frankly miserable in my life as that week! Since those nightmares have passed, not a I'rush in sight—they had their cremation ceremony. Remember ours? You fell flat on the way to the woods. We all were lazy the latter part of last week—nothing else to do. The only excitement to speak of was the ride I had in Gummy Rutter's Ford with nine others—Ruth Kistler among them. Queenie sure did creak and groan. Of course, Friday afternoon the festivities commenced (good word), with ( lass Day. In the evening Junior Oratoricals—Sallic Mosser. Viv Wismcr, Samuel Givler, and Powell grabbed the bacon. Saturday—ye gods! Alumni everywhere and all the time. Say, I noticed all the old timers were quite spiffy looking—I believe the successful ones come back to give us chilluns the once over. When I finally get my sheepskin. I II stay away until I make my little million or two. President’s Reception Saturday night as usual, which we all attended also as usual. Jokes!! Really, though, I guess it wasn't so bad this year, 'cause it was held in the Library, and the Boys' Glee Club broadcasted from WIP in Philadelphia. Siegfried Baden’s radio was in good working order, and so the concert was one of the features of the Reception. Poo bad, the couples couldn't all be there. Yesterday morning I got up so late that I almost missed Baccalaureate, but I finished my nap there, so it was O.K. The afternoon—??? In the evening The Holy City, under Mis-Hartenstine’s direction, of course. And this morning Commencement, and now all is over and ’24 has left forever as students. Gosh! here comes the family Rolls-Royce—I rush to greet them. Goodbye. I'll mail this at home. Love, DEE. 178 The Same Old Place, October 6. 1924. Dear Peg: We arc back at the institution once more, bag, baggage, and everything. I'he place still looks the same with the exception that we have a new cement road in front of our domicile. We expect to have roller-skating parties on it. off and on, during the winter, doncha know ? Everybody is back ’cept the Seniors and a few others. Bobbie Boston, Ruth Welden, “Dot Hamilton, Betz Evans, and the rest of them are glad to be restored to their sweethearts, but I'll tell you it's pretty dull around the place for Bea Shafer, Dot Threapleton, Romic” Shoemaker, ami the other college widows. We have some new members in our family—Dr. White, Miss McGowan, Mrs. Rauch and Dr. McCoy, and about too Frosh. Oh, yes, Dr. White is our new dean—we've never had one before, you know—but I guess we'll survive. Miss McGowan comes to us for the purpose of pulling up the aesthetic and calisthentic tone of the institution. Mrs. Rauch is our new hostess. She plays the part of the policeman in the dining room. That's where my money goes my forty dollars. We're just getting settled now. No, Dr. Omwalce didn't make the opening address of the year; he left that to the Dean of Eemple Cniversity. I'he first Saturday night here was the usual Y.M.-Y.W. reception. The usual gay time (?) was had by all. We've had a couple of games. Williamson (we won); Penn (we lost), and Drexel (we won). The Williamson game was here at home—wish you could have 'ecu it Ubbic hugged the camera, as usual. I'm sure he didn't miss a position! Peg, you know Dr. Power gets the two Oberholtzers mixed up. He calls J. R , ami then looks at the roll 3 few seconds, and then calls R. ( . It is always proper to laugh at this juncture in the roll call. The Freshmen are again terrorized by the invincible Winner; they again sit under our honorable President in College Problems and learn all about love, marriage and divorce. And I guess you know I take Ethics. Just ask me anything you want to know. Is it ethically right to give the conductor your fare after you have been fortunate to be missed by him on his rounds? Is it ethically right to hold hands with him who pretends to like you? Just ask me anything—I'll tell you! I must say nightie-night now, 'cause the 10:30 bell has just rung, and I'm certain Dr. Omwakc would say it was ethically wrong to keep the lights on after 10:30. R. S. V P. P. I). Q. t Luf, ANNE. m Ol ! Father Crsinus, Thursday I . M., October 30. Dear Babv: Out of compliment to that little bit of ja z we murdured on the vie thi summer, Gee! them were the days—didn’t wc have fun though; and now! Well, mv only form of dissipa-tion i' darning my stockings. Oh, yes! I forgot; tonight the far-famed Jess Pugh, Humorist (spelled in capital letters) handed us all a couple of laughs. You wouldn’t know this place thi' year, Peggy. Everybody’s beginning to study—even Alvin Siebcr and Don Rochm left sketch practice early last night so as to add to their knowledge of cumulative preferred stock and serial bonds! z s for the Frosh—you ought to have seen the little dears scan the architecture merits of Bomberger la't week—that always was one of Donkey’s pet assignmnts. It was a scream, the campus was studed (good word) with them. Now I hear they are beginning on the inside of the library—I’ve seen several of them gape at the ceiling quite morosely. Watcha think? They found two snakes on the campus last week. I’gh! Ella said it was perfectly all right, though—Dr. Omwake must keep the couples off the campus somehow, and letting a few reptiles loose seemed to be the logical way. Peggy, the funniest thing happened to Kit Shipe. She lost her hat in the subway, after the fashion of Manhandled,” the day of the Drexel game. That night Kochie, Don. and Denny missed the last P. V out of 69th Street Station (monkey bizness . and had to walk four miles to Conshohockcil. Kochie courageously led the way. Don following with a lantern, and Dennv brought up in the real in his stocking feet. Economy is—and evet will be—our watchword. Dr. Jordan is back in the ranks again—guess I'd better say “Still. The same procedure as usual—scripture, prayer, recitation, and notes. Well, t'other day he said solemnly, I will read the scripture from Matthew, 14:3, 4. 5, and 6. George Kirk from the back part of the room called Shift. Just like George, eh? There sure are some funny Frosh thi- year One of them. Anna Richards, said she was afraid 'he couldn't afford many light cuts—she thought one had to pay extra for them. Can you beat it? Say. if the authorities hear about it. they may make use of the suggestion, eh? Ten thirty. Eights out! I’m obedient, bv heck. Good night, and good-bye. Forever, DEE. 180 THE PILGRIM FATHERS i'rom the Original Sources Bv A. Senior AT thirty-three minutes after nine a. m., on the Mxth day of September, in the year of our Lord 1620. a motley crew of staunch-hearted, true-hearted, brave-hearted pilgrims .left the bleak and rock} shores of stern and rugged Holland, where they speak the indelicate Dutch, and set sail in the good ship Mayflower. Their’s was a courageous band, yet a severe and arduous journey which taxed their strength to the utmost lay before them— stormy and wild were the waves, the good ship tossed and hurdled, anil as the second day came to a mournful close, many a good Pilgrim wished themselves back in Holland planting onions. Of the 50 men, 25 women, and 24 children- 98 succumbed to seasickness, and the 99th became ill watching them. After four days out, the weather being inclement (the temperature having dropped 32V2 degrees) 6 men and 12 women caught cold—five of these were subject to chronic catarrh—and 6 of the children, all under 5 years of age. contracted croup. One man sustained a broken nose when the sudden jarring of the ship caused him to lurch against the wall nose first, and another broke his right leg just below the knee when Win. Bradford intentionally gave him a gentle shove down the hatchway into the steerage. Win. Brewster set the bone after much difficulty on his part, and much pain on that of the unfortunate man. But misfortune does not last forever, and finally after two months, fifteen days, six hours, and fourteen and one-half minutes, at 4:17 p. m. on November 21, they landed where The breaking waves dash high, on a ‘tern and rock-bound coast —that is. near old. gra Plymouth Rock. This famous bit of granite was not of such a si c as could be picked up and thrown any distance at all. being 12 feet in diameter at its base, 4 feet above ground at the highest point, and weighed 1568'.• pounds, according to the canny estimation of good William Brewster. The first days were hard, but the forty-eight able-bodied men began building huts at 6:10 in the morning the day after their arrival. Twenty-five were erected—rude, one-room log sharks which afforded ill protection from the wintry blasts. Often during the bitter first months the most stalwart Pilgrim sighed for foggy England. The snow blew in through the chinks of the cabins and spoiled many a wife's disposition, and the month of January was so windy that Win. Bradford lost two hats before hr bethought himself to wear a cap. There was little food, and all was of poor quality, hence by Spring only 35 men, 12 women, and 11 children of the original 99 survived. John Carver, the governor, was among those who had succumbed, due. it is said, to the fact that he could not subsist on short rations, as hr was a man of goodly appetite. The good Wm, Bradford was then elected to the high position of governor, because of his sterling qualities and political pull. I'ndoubtedly he was a man well fitted for that high honor—for he was a strong, capable, fearless, determined, upright, honest, moral fellow with a steady purpose and indomitable will-power. He was known to be temperate in all things, for although he liked his pipe quite well, he did not even indulge in hard cider, and had been married only twice. Thus, the months rolled bv, and we come to November, 1623. That summer there had been a terrible drought, and famine seemed inevitable, when there was suddenly and unexpectedly a “copious descent of rain, as expressed by the good Wm. Brewster, and all the crops were saved. Since religion was the mainstay of Pilgrim exigence, and going to church and town meeting their only form of dissipation, their celebration took a religious tone and a Thanksgiving Day was announced by the good Wm. Bradford, who with his able follower, the indomitable Miles Standish, a captain in the standing army, decided to add gastronomic delights to the religious ceremony. Thus, for the first time since leaving good old England, all the Pilgrims enjoyed a really grand feast—wild turkeys, wild geese, etc., etc., ad infinitum. And it is whispered that the good Wm. Bradford was hardly able to walk home unaided. 1S1 THK URSINUS BAKDKCKKR Latest Publication E, the undersigned, in view of our limited powers « t observation, our intense interest and loyalty for Ursinus, and our unbounded sympathy for those not so well informed as ourselves, have collected, compiled and classified the following bits of information for the delectation of all new but interested L’rsinusitcs.

Many are the days and nights that have been spent in the gathering together and the formulating of material for you to enjoy in the form of the 1925 Ruby of IJrsikus College. An approximate total of ‘Three Thousand Dollars has been necessary for its production.
