Stai Ks ikL A LMOST a century ago the citi- zens of the community central to Montgomery County united their efforts in an educational project that brought into existence I odd’s School. After the children of the neighborhood had received instruction in this humble little stone building for more than thirty years, the school was discontinued to make way for a far more pretentious undertaking in education. History of Ursinus College Freeland Seminary, founded in 1848, was erected on the site of what is now Ursinus College, and was formerly I odd’s School. It started with a four-story stone building, and soon added another structure. I hese two buildings arc in use today and are known as Freeland and Stine Halls, respectively. I rcc-land Seminary was what would now be called a private secondary school for boys. Its field of patronage covered the entire state of Pennsylvania, although quite naturally Montgomery County contributed the largest number to the student body. After work had been conducted successfully for twenty years, this school property was purchased by agents of the low church party of the Reformed Church as the site for a proposed college. In 1869 a charter was obtained from the General Assembly of Pennsylvania for the founding of “an institution of learning, for the purpose of imparting instruction in Science. Literature, the Liberal Arts, and the learned Professions.’’ F reeland Seminary was incorporated into the new institution as its academic or preparatory department; and on September 6. 1870. Ursinus College was formally opened and instruction was begun. The college embarked on its sea of existence without any endowment, but men of ample means manifested interest and planned to provide for its maintenance. The financial panic of 1873. however, swept away the funds that were to be devoted to the support of the college, and numerous reverses were encountered. During the first twenty years of its history, covering Twenty the period of the presidency of Doctor Bombcrger. many reverses impeded the progress of the institution, but a gift of $25,000 from Robert Patterson, a director from Philadelphia, brightened the outlook considerably. In 1881 the doors of the college were opened to women on an equal basis with men. Progress followed in every measure during the administrations of Presidents Super. Spangler. Ebbert. Keigivin. and under the present administration of President Omwake. I he area of the college property increased acre by acre; the faculty was enlarged: science laboratories were established and equipped; and a definite policy was adopted that destined Ursinus to a prominent place in the field of higher education. During Doctor Omwake’s administration the enrollment has been almost trebled, necessitating an extension of all departments and facilities. I he Alumni rose to the occasion by raising money for a spacious and beautiful library building. I he gifts of benefactors of Ursinus and money raised in the financial campaign of 1925 made it possible to erect two new dormitories for men in the summer of 1927. I he athletic facilities have been greatly improved and enlarged. The new Thompson-Gay gym and theatre, the new football field, and the various other improvements show that the Greater Ursinus' is being realized. A new science building, and a new dorm for women are the next steps in the expansion of Ursinus College. wenty-one President's Message THK theme of the present number of the Ruby is Dramatic Art. The class of 1928 is to be commended for threading through the pages of this book a theme so distinctly characteristic of life at Ursinus. The timeliness of it will be apparent to all because of the opening in this year of the new gymnasium-theatre. That dramatics should engage the talents of college students will be conceded by all. It has its legitimate place in student life primarily because the drama is a form of art and shares the refining and elevating influence of art in general. As literature the drama is always most engaging because it is in the form of dialogue. Human thought is never quite so interesting as when presented in the form of conversation in which there is the background of various personalities. and the full effect is never gotten until these personalities are made to live as in the enactment of a play. Few forms of entertainment are so satisfying as a well staged play. Proof of this is seen in the popularity of the stage, both in city and village life. Whether it be the ash-pile of Job. the marble theatre of fLschylus. the old playhouse of Shakespeare, or the marvelous creation of Roxy in our own day. the stage captivates the crowd. It is the power of expression that makes one interesting and the reason dramatics arc supremely entertaining is because in the actor every faculty of expression is called into play. For this reason, mechanical devices, like the motion picture, however wonderful in effect, can never supplant the first-hand presentation of a scene by living actors. While I think there is a tendency to over emphasize stage effects, relying too much on these rather than on the artistic abilities of the dramatis personae, there remains the fact that the physical setting has much to do with the success of the scene. We shall, therefore, encourage such efforts as shall be made from time to time to add to the para phernaha constituting the stage equipment of our new theatre. A highly artistic environment constantly challenges the highest and ! cst that there is in the performers. If there is ! cauty in the scenic effect it will beget beauty in the imagination and feeling of the player. To one who understands the vital importance of expression as a means of education dramatics will need no defense. College youth should be encouraged to participate in plays because by so doing they may become more useful members of society. In the presentation of a play the whole gamut of human experiences is liver! by those who present it. and the essential powers of one's being, intellectual, affcctional. volitional, and physical, are caller! into action in the execution of it. In rare instances, participation in college dramatics may discover histronic abilities of such high order as to lead to acting as a profession, but there is so much that is sordid and depressing in the theatrical profession that the field is not especially inviting to one of real ability anti character. Better it is to enter dramatics in one’s college days just for the enjoyment of it as a branch of artistic endeavor and for the development it affords in the use of one's God-given powers. Any person who is skilled in interpreting and portraying human experience is thereby better fitted to take his place in the affairs of everyday life. May the stage which has been provider! as part of our academic equipment inspire students to the appreciation of true art. encourage them in the full exercise of their hidden powers, and give them skill and refinement in the use of what otherwise might have been undiscovered, or at best, undeveloped, powers of expression.

Gulick, '28 Class History VV BEAUTIFUL day in September. 1924. witnessed the arrival of a large and properly awed class of Freshmen. Strange to say. the upper classes accepted the newcomers quite calmly, so they soon despaired of notoriety and settled down in typical freshman existence, from green band to windsor tie and dink. Several days later, in order to keep the Sophs from feeling too badly, the younger generation yielded the tug-of-war championship to them, although it was done somewhat reluctantly. and three pulls were necessary. A comeback was staged later, when the ambitious Frosh administered a decisive defeat to their traditionals in the annual football classic. I he lassies of the class also showed their calibre by winning from the Sophs sisters in a hard-fought hockey game. I he next event of importance took place at the Spring Mountain House. Schwcnksville, when the jubilant Frosh. proving their superiority, rescued their kidnapped president just in time to preside at the banquet. I hus promisingly did the class of ’28 begin its eventful career at Ursinus. Steadily and surely the yearlings grew to Juniors and showed their prowess by presenting the popular “Seventh I leaven several times before enthusiastic audiences. But this page is too small to record all the deeds of our heroes. Even this book cannot do full justice to their fame. The classroom, the stage, the campus, gridiron, and gym floor these arc the scenes of the struggles and victories which give promise of the glorious days ahead for every member of ’28.

Behold, South Hall's pride and joy! Her ability to sleep through anything less than a fire is beyond compare. Alarm clocks have no terrors: for a gentle voice calling her name is the only thing which will interrupt her slumbers. It is supposed that it is this quality which gives to her. her quiet, serene disposition, and dignified mien. These characteristics should be very helpful in her future career as a doctor. At present they carry her through many hours in the evil-smelling laboratories, and long periods instructing the youth of Collcgeville in the High School. In spite of her seriousness, and quiet, she has her moments of frivolity which are greatly enjoyed by all her friends. May she have the greatest in life, and always mix her work and play as well as she has done at Ursinus. Forty-eight JOSEPH ARMENTO Harrisburg. Pa.

Four years ago the statesmen of our capital city decided to send a young diplomat to Ursinus. He came, he saw. and now he has conquered. Joe’ has taken an active part in the affairs of his college and class. In athletics he jumped into prominence by playing on the Junior varsity basketball team in his Freshman year. Later on he played an important role jumping center on his class team for two years. He took an active part in dramatics, and many a Friday night he held the audience spell bound, when he took the lead in a sketch. As leader of the mob scene in The Fool.” we will always remember him. As a member of the Booster Committee during the past year. “Joe” was a big factor in boosting the spirit of the school. A perfect gentleman, a real sport, and a loyal son of Ursinus. we will always remember Joe.” Forty-nine PARKER DANIEL BAKER Dillsijurc. Pa.

Long after the fame of Highland Hall as a dorm has been forgotten, there will remain in the minds of a few. memories of that first stormy year. Here, gathered under one roof, was collected every variety of talent that one could hope to find in any Freshman Class. Prominent among the inmates of that remote abode was one. Parker Dills-burg Baker. “Bake'' soon proved to the boys that he was a regular fellow, and became a leader in their many varied activities. He also soon came to be known as an authority on all philosophical thought, as well as on the more active things of life. Parker was one of the fellows who helped to instill the traditions and customs of Ursinus into the Preshmcn with good results. Now he seems to be headed towards the field of medicine and it is certain that he will be successful in that profession, with the best wishes of the class of '28.

For his entire four years he has been one of those desperate Day Students who assert their authority under the foundations of Bomberger. Herb” is at his best when he is playing a game of pinochle. He has often expressed a desire to become an eminent authority on the subject of cards with headquarters in Norristown, but he is too busy with his outside activities and his college education. Herb is going to make an eminent physician some day. His persevering disposition assures us that success is waiting for him to take it. Best wishes. Fifty •one STANLEY WEIGNER BAUMAN Sassamansvillf.. Pa. H est Chester Normal School Mathematical Croup; Y. M. C. A., u. in. iv. Treasurer, iv; Webster Forensic Club. in. iv. President, iv; Brotherhood of St. Paul. II. in. iv; Schaff. iv. Like several others among our number. “Stan” taught school before coming to college, and as a result came to us with advanced standing at the beginning of our Sophomore year. Me is sincere, unaffected, and has a keen mind, as his debating activities of last year can attest. He gives the outward appearance of quiet efficiency, and his actions verify it. for he is an excellent worker in all respects. When the class, the Y. M. C. A. or any of the various organizations he is connected with, call upon him for assistance, a piece of work well done is the result. Many students bone and burn the midnight oil to get good grades, but he is one of those that get them without doing these things. His future work will be in the teaching profession, and we feel certain that it will receive the benefits of his many good qualities. Fifty-two HELEN ELIZABETH BECK Blain. Pa. LiUlestou'n High School Classical Group; Y. W. C. A., i. n. in. iv; Schaff. i. n. m. iv. Becky comes to us from Perry County, bringing with her the sweet personality which has charmed all at U. She was born in “Old Virginy.’’ and perhaps it is from there that she gets her quiet dignity and poise. Practice teaching and Latin arc her hobbies, as one would soon learn if they could hear her exclaim. Well I do declare, those kids do beat all. “Becky is not only a good student carrying off her share of the honors, but a good sport as well always doing her bit of work faithfully and cheerfully. Do you want anything done? Go to “Becky ; she will help you out. Want to laugh? Get “Becky started. And when not in classes we often find her in stout hiking shoes, tramping the highways and byways of Collcgevillc. She was one of the few to receive her hiking letter in the Junior year. Tall, and fair, blue-eyed, and sweet, she has many attractions for the Classical Group at Ursinus. Bub we wonder why she goes to Gratcrsford so often. Fifly-three MARY CHARLOTTE BERGER Schuylkill Haven, Pa. Schuylkill Haven High School English-Historical Group. President, iv: Zwinglian Literary Society. I. II, ill, iv; Y. W. C. A.: English Club. ill. iv; Glee Club. n. ill. iv; Choir, iv: Class Hockey. I. n. In Sharkie.” Ursinus finds one of its most loyal and enthusiastic supporters in all campus activities. During four years we have seen her on the hockey field, on the stage acting, reading, singing, dancing, in the Glee Club, in the Choir. If Charlotte is not participating in an event she is there to cheer on those who are. Berger” has been a surname to reckon with down through the annals of the college. And this last four years the reckoning has not fallen short of previous estimates. Schuylkill Haven can justly boast of versatility. We find Charlotte acting in executive capacities, too. The English-Historical Group claims her as their leader; English Club would not be complete without her. An ever-rcady smile, a willingness to assist, and ability, will bring Sharkie” happiness and success. Fifty-four DOROTHY ELIZABETH BERGER Norristown. I’a.

Efficiency personified. Honestly. I’ll never be able to do it. and similar remarks might deceive a stranger for the moment. Whether it be the Y. W.. Schaff. Glee Club. Choir, or Maples in fact, any group or individual on the campus that is in need of a sympathetic and guiding hand, they are sure of tangible results if Dot is appealed to. Unfortunately, the first year we had to share our appeals with Norristown, but since then Ursinus has had full claim. Few people can reach the top rung in the ladders of both work and play. Here we have a person who has attained such heights. When Dot works, she works; and when she plays, she plays these are the powers of concentration. Intellect, combined with knowledge and personality, augur well for Dorothy’s future, which will apparently find its beginning in the educational field. Fifty-five HARRY ALAN B1GLLY Doylestown. Pa.

Harry established an enviable reputation for himself as an athlete, a man. and a loyal Ursinusite. On the basketball court and baseball diamond he is unexcelled: and many a game hanging in the balance was finally decided as a victory for old Ursinus only through his brilliant performance. In appreciation of his qualities his teammates elected him to share the duties of basketball captain during his Senior year. An honor duly merited. Harry has only one fault perhaps weakness would be a better word to use. This weakness lies in the fact that he is an ardent admirer of the fairer sex. Don’t mistake us, though this admiration is confined to only one. Fifty-six GLADYS LAIN BURK I Iarkisonville. N. J. Woodstown High School Knglish Historical Group; Schaff.

Her interests and abilities have been numerous, and consequently many organizations have benefited. Schaff discovered her, and found in her a worthy member. Her dramatic ability was exhibited in several plays in which she portrayed difficult parts, but it is not limited to performances on the stage. As assistant coach of “Last is West.” she won well-deserved commendation. Her interest in debating was shown for some time, and in her last year she debated on the Varsity team. She has appeared as a regular member of the Choir and the Glee Club almost from the beginning of her college career. As a soloist she has been in great demand. It takes an almost tireless energy to do as many things as “Glad has done, and to do them as well as she has done them. Fifty-seven JAMILS WILBUR CLAYTON Toms River. N. J.

He came to Ursinus College to learn. 11c declared himself as intending to enter politics upon graduation, and so earned for himself the label, “the politician. Scoops ' was a born debater; so the Webster Forensic Club was the club for him. and he made the debating squad in his Junior year. His business ability won for him the business managership of the Weekly and Scoops” made this a well-paying proposition. J. Wilbur was recognized as a man of affairs by his being elected to the Student Council in his Junior and Senior years. Whenever a class political situation arose, Scoops was always in the midst of it. Fie had no fear of fighting a powerful machine or bucking a straight party ticket. On his college record he will be a successful politician. Fifty-eight FREDERICK MEREDITH CORNELIUS Bayvii.lk. N. J. Toms Riccr High School Chemical-Biological Group; Biology Club. I. II. III. IV. Schaff. ill. iv; Class Football. i. it: Cross-Country Team. iv. Scotty” will be remembered as an energetic and ambitious Freshman. He was here to do something scholastically and athletically. So Scotty went out for the team. If he did not make the Varsity he was certainly considered a good scrub. In his Senior year he made a position on the cross-country team. Scotty” gave himself just as strenuously to his studies. Chemistry and biology were his specialties. His standing here was recognized by his being elected vice-president of the Biology Club. In times to come students and visitors will admire the many handsome mountings of animal skeletons which now adorn the biology laboratory. Not to neglect the artistic side of his life, Scotty joined Schaff in his Junior year. With such enthusiasm for work and learning, and the experience he has derived from Ursinus, he should become notable in his chosen profession, medicine.

Betty” soon became known on the Ursinus campus. During her first year here, her pleasing personality and hearty chuckle brightened many a feed” at Olevian. The next year Betty” moved to Glen wood, where she remained for the last two years. On the basketball floor Betty has worked along with the rest to bring added fame to Ursinus, and her U shows that her efforts have not been in vain. Betty’s classroom achievements are not the least of her accomplishments, and she helps to prove to us that sport and study can go hand in hand. We do not know' what Betty plans to do after graduation, but we feel that whatever course she follows she will be successful. The class of ’28 is back of you. Betty,” with best wishes for your future success. Sixty REBECCA REINHART ENGEL SmOI MAKtK5VILLE . Pa. Keystone State Normal School. Kulztou'n, Pa. Pnglish-Historical Group: Woman's Debating Club. Secretary-Treasurer, ill. Manager. iv: Y. W. C. A., in. iv. And here is Becky from Shocmakersville. Oh. Becka! Becka! Where are you? Of course, she’s still studying, for it’s one of her strong points. However, one must not judge her too harshly, for she does not spend all her time studying oh. my. no only when the hall is quiet. Rebecca came to Ursinus in 1925; stayed with us one year, then decided that she would like to try her hand at teaching. So she left us for two years. She decided she liked college pretty well, well enough to finish, even though she would have to spend most of her week-ends in Shocmakersville. Why is this. Becky ? A hard worker is this girl, but to break the monotony she creates fun and laughter by speaking Pennsylvania Dutch to those to whom it is Greek, and when time permits is always ready for a good joke. As for teaching we are quite sure that Becky will never spend her whole life in this profession. Sixty-ono CHARLES HENRY ENGLE Mahanoy City. Pa. Mahanoy City High School Chemical-Biological Group: Weekly. Editor; Manager Football: Rudy. Athletic Editor. Mr. Engle was an interesting and inquisitive Freshman. After some disillusionment and cnlightment. ‘Charlie” got adjusted and was not at all sorry that he came to Ursinus. Chemistry and biology were “Hen's” fields, and here his inquisitive mind came into its own. He was the thoughtful student. He did not cram— he looked over the matter in hand and thought it through. 1 he Weekly gave Mr. Engle a chance for the expression of his views and in his Senior year his discerning mind was recognized by his being made editor. Many a football man will remember the orderly handling of equipment, which was only one of the details that he attended to as manager of football. Because of his outspoken and critical manner, not all were good friends of Hen,” but those who were, admired him and held him in high esteem. He should fill a good and honorable place in his chosen profession of medicine. Sixty-two AURELIA ADELAIDE ENGLISH Roykr.nfokd. Pa. Rotters ford High School Modern Language Group. Vice-President, iv; Zwing; Dramatic Club. til. iv; Y. W. C. A., Cabinet, lit. iv: Ruby. Art Staff. Look at that demure, studious countenance. Is it not sad how deceiving appearances may be? Aurelia’s speels arc extremely well known by her friends, and she always lias a good audience for her performances, whether they be monologues, vocal solos, or the latest jazz renditions. Her voice is very sweet and melodious if you know what I mean and her jazz is simply unique. Although Inky” says she is going to teach, we feel that her talents lie in the realms of the fine or household arts. Her room is a lovely art gallery where hang her masterpieces except those that she has sent to grace the walls of that person known as Raymond. Raymond, by the way. is the reason we recommend for “Inky a career in the household arts. Whether she takes our advice or not. she is sure to be a success.

I. n. ill. iv; Class Hockey, li; Woman's Dormitory Committee. “She is wild, and sweet, and witty: let s not say dull things about her.’’ But we must say a few things concerning this versatile lady from Harrisburg, such as her ability in art. in dramatics, and in decorating. Many a dance has been witness to her magic touch, and often her aesthetic dances have graced the Zwing program. Betty” is extremely prominent in extra-curricular activities and as a student ranks among the highest. She has always had a leaning toward the modern languages and her proficiency in those subjects is unquestioned. With the graduation of a certain member of last year’s .Senior Class we expected Betty” to be quite sad and desolate, but her friends do not give her a chance then. too. said man is nearly always on the campus. Betty” has high ambitions for a career, but we doubt if she will remain in single blessedness” long enough to realize her hope. Sixty-four ARTHUR CLAYTON FAUST Maiianoy City. Pa. Muhanoy City High School Classical Group; Zwing. I. n. ill. iv. Chaplain, iv; Varsity Football, I. u. hi. iv: Varsity Basketball. I. ill, iv; A'Mv. Now. dear readers, we come to the famous Ducky’ laust more familiarly known to his many Ursinus friends as the “Strappin’ youth from Mahanoy City. “Wop, and last, but not least. Grace’s Honey Dee Boy. “Bucky came to Ursinus with a twofold ideal in mind to become a football player and to study for the ministry. 1 lis first ambition has been fully realized. In regard to the second, well, most of us arc led to believe that in the very near future the city of F hiladelphia will behold a prominent business establishment, incorporated under the name of Faust Hcnkels. General Contractors, specializing in Landscape Architecture. Whatever the future has in store for Wop, success is bound to smile upon him. He is the possessor of a pleasing disposition, a magnetic personality, and a true spirit of friendship. Sixty-five PAUL ELLSWORTH FELTON Limerick. Pa. Potlstown High School Historical-Political Group: Men's Student Council, iv; Glee Club. I. il, ill: Band; Football. I. II. III. IV. This young fellow hails from Limerick, where clucks and cows are half the population. His attitude toward study cannot be mistaken, for his very temper-ment and conversation are evidences of his sincerity of purpose. His life at Ursinus has been very well-balanced. Paul never participated in athletics as a high school boy. but since his entrance here at college, he has made a name in football for his line strength. Felton’s attitude toward the fair sex is a mystery. He appears not to be attracted by the charms of the co-eds. but still is always present and accounted for when the roll is called. Chemistry and physics are his favorite subjects and he expects to make one of these his life-work. Judging from the character of this blond-haired fellow his success in the medical world is unquestionable. Sixly-six ALICE ENTRIK.EN FETTERS West Chester. Pa.

By the end of the Freshman year she was the proud possessor of a Sportsmanship U. Allic was one of the first girls of the class of '28 to answer the call of the literary societies, and Schaff has many times enjoyed her clever originality. Besides being a good entertainer. Allie is also a good Property Man,” as has been proven by three Anniversary plays. If “Allie’s days at Ursinus are indicative of the future, we have no fear for her success.

His interpretation of Boule in Seventh Heaven” and as Charlie Yong in East is West was fine and will live long in our memories. During the early part of his sojourn here “Charlie had his affairs” and we wonder if it was his work or other attractions that caused him to nearly retire from the active social field the last year. Old York has given us another Ruby editor and it was Charlie’s” hard work and experience that has made the 1928 Ruby what it is. With all these many activities, “Charlie has found time to be a good friend, a student, and a jolly companion. Sixty-eight JOEL BROWN FRANCIS ColiLBCEVILLE. Pa.

This young gentleman, having received his education at the ( ollegeville High School, decided to further his abilities along these lines. Walking up one square and turning to the left he presented his credentials to the Dean and was accepted. Joel is an ardent follower of athletics. In baseball he is a corker. He can slam the ball for .500 in every game. In basketball his floor ability is outstanding in every game. Joel, in athletics, as well as in everyday life, aims high and never falls short. His popularity centers in the fact that he is a hard worker and yet a good sport. Fair play in everything is his paramount characteristic. His devoted interest to his lessons accompanied with the above, satisfy us enough to know that he will be a success. Sixty-nine RENA CLAIRE FRANK York. Pa. faring College Classical Group.

You will have to admit that’s a combination hard to beat, especially when the last one is accompanied by a hearty laugh that is without equal. Indeed, we would be willing to wager that it is the only one of its kind in or out of captivity. It certainly agrees with her. for a more excellent proof of the old adage. Laugh and grow fat, there never was. Claire, however, doesn’t mind, but continues to laugh merrily. Not only is Clarissima” famed for her infectious giggle, but her ability to make sandwiches is without a peer. Bread, tuna fish, cheese, butter; all are her willing slaves who conspire with her to make us yield to temptation. But. to be serious, she is a most capable young person, full of wit and humor, clever, and an all-round good sport. Seventy HOWARD CALVIN FRITSCH. Jr. Narbbrth. Pa.

Art Staff. ‘’Cal’’ first saw the light of day in I amaqua. which is up in the hard coal region, but he eventually became a citizen of Narberth. and came to us. with his talented sister Mabel, from Lower Merion High School. His first impression upon us was his easy-going manner and attitude, and he still retains these characteristics. I le is one of the quiet men of the class, and depends upon the golden and well-bred quality of silence. He has ability with the sketching pencil, and for that reason is one of the art editors on the Ruby staff. He is by far most interested in music and if one passes through Efomberger in the late afternoon or evening and hears some one playing it is safe to say that it is “Cal.” He is a member of the Math Group, but his interests are along the lines of chemistry.

When Mabel set sail on the great sea of college life she determined her course with a decision that made all think she was most sober and serious. What a surprise a revelation of her true self proved to be. She has a way of doing all her work thoroughly, and always finds time for much besides. The Math Group was very fortunate when she cast her lot with it. Athletics have occupied a fair portion of Mabel’s time, and in basketball she distinguished herself especially. Working with the Girls’ Booster Committee she made a notable impress for spirit and service. I here seems to be a poetic strain in her nature, for once in a while Mabel’s thoughts find expression in verse. Most admirable of all her fine qualities is that she has the courage of her own convictions. Scvcniy-tivo CORA ELIZABETH JOYCE GULICK Pkrkasie. Pa. Per basic High School Mathematical Group.

Again we owe thanks to the little town of Perkasie for sending us a girl who can take part in all the extra-curricular activities on the campus and still maintain a high average in academic work. As a debater, a member of the Glee Club, an editor of the Weekly, an ardent Zwinglian, and chairman of the Woman’s Dorm Committee. Cora has been one of the outstanding figures in all. As chairman of the Woman's Dorm Committee she deserves special mention. With her ability to organize, to shoulder responsibility, and to lead others. Cora will make a success out of any career she undertakes. Seventy-three EVELYN CASTLE HAMM Allentown. Pa. Allentown High School Classical Group: Class Secretary. I; Zwing. I. II. ill. iv.

Won’t you smile?’’ Ask this question of Evie if you want to see a fascinating picture flashing eyes, enhanced by an energetic outburst, and finally the inevitable smile which reveals the cause of much of our admiration and envy. There isn’t a campus activity that “Ev” didn't enter into with all the pep she possessed. Athletics, dramatics, music, sketching all have felt the touch of this talented person. Although in dramatics she is usually found behind the scenes as assistant coach or property manager, we know that “Ev has latent abilities which, if expressed, would place her behind the footlights as well. Congeniality, sincerity, and generosity have brought Evelyn popularity and many friends. The career she chooses will be a gainer. Seventy-four ELIZABETH RACHEL HARTER Nf.scoi kck. Pa.

With all her work “Betty was a willing worker and when tried was found to be a true one. Outside of history, education, and the like. Betty is interested in debating and dramatics. In the latter she has proven herself quite an actress in the character of Aunt Valentine’ in Seventh Heaven. Dancing and music come next in her line. She is always happiest when she is playing or dancing. These are her favorite pastimes. Eating is a newly acquired sport. She delights in it so much that she has gained a reputation; not only that, but also the name of tiny tot, which we hope she may ever keep. Sci'cnty-fivc LLOYD HOACEY Perkasik. Pa.

Not only has Lloyd excelled in his class work, but he has also taken a leading part in extra-curricular activities, among which were basketball and baseball. Here. “Scoops” had a real chance to show his athletic ability. In both these sports Lloyd has taken a leading part from his Freshman year, and as co-captain of basketball with Bigley big things were accomplished by the team. In baseball Lloyd has been a varsity player from his Freshman year. In his Junior year he led the team in batting. As an active member of the Student Council in his second and third years Lloyd was a prominent figure on the campus. Seventy-six SARAH BALDWIN HOFFER Norristown. Pa.

As a student she is greatly admired, but as an all-round good sport she is not equalled. Sally” took an active part in athletics, and in her last year captained the hockey team in a very creditable way. Her executive ability, which had been proved in so many ways, made her the undisputed president of the Woman’s Athletic Association. Student Council, the Junior Advisory Committee, and Schaff are a few of her other extra-curricular interests. Undoubtedly, Sally’s” outstanding characteristic is her genial disposition. She has never been known to lose her temper. Sevpnty-scvcn MARY K ASS AH Ocean City. N. J. Chester High School English-Historical Group; Class Poet, m; Schuff. i. n. m. iv; Y. W. C.

This is one time Mary is not late, but only because it is an impossibility. If the early bird catches the worm, here is one girl who will never get it: but who wants a worm anyway. F.vcr since her Freshman days. Mary has wandered into classes anywhere from five minutes to a half an hour late always with a good excuse such as. ‘The girls hid my shoes.” or. There was a mouse in the waste basket and I had to take him out before 1 came to class.” The fact that these alibis were always accepted is good proof of her ability as an actress. Have you ever heard any of Mary’s stories? They are tales well worth hearing. So complicated are the plots of most of them that each could very easily be used as a week’s supply. The most famous is the one about the “Teeny. I iny Lady. May all your life be as happy and full as your college days! Seventy-eight PAUL STANLEY KRASLEY Koyersford. Pa.

Paul has been affiliated with all the dramatic productions of both the class and Zwinglian Literary Society, and certainly was a credit to all the productions. He seems to have been bitten by that pernicious Freshman germ, for he played an active part in that memorable pilgrimage of a certain Freshman president. Paul seems to be headed for law or business, and although it is rumored that he might be interested i n the automotive side of the business world, he will take up his pursuits with the ■ best wishes of all.

Whoever among us are the remnants of the Highland Hall of our Freshman year will never forget the memories connected with this jovial, angelic looking son of the soil who hails from Grccncastle High School down near the Mason-Dixon line. Already adept at impersonating the inhabitants of State Line and adjacent territory in the Cumberland Valley, he came to Ursinus to win other laurels. He did. Zwing’s famous mock faculty meetings, lacking talent such as his. arc no more. Many instances have been known in which students have discreetly maintained the status quo under the belief that one of several faculty members were in their near vicinity. I or these and other reasons we shall retain him in our memories long after subjects studied in the classroom will have faded from our minds.

In football he has been the mainstay of the backficld for the past four years, but because of various injuries he has been greatly handicapped. However, in baseball he has been more fortunate and his Senior year found him as captain of the baseball nine.

As president in our Sophomore year Luke dealt with the Freshmen with that proverbial ease becoming such an affair. Breaking all precedents he was one of the Sophomore conclave that succeeded in keeping the Freshman president away from his anxious parents. In his last two years with us Luke has been very active in extra-curricular activities. He played a prominent part in the Junior and Senior play: was business manager of the Ruby, and very active in the literary society plays. Eighty-two HARRIET ELIZABETH LAYMAN Wilmington. Del.

Several weeks after Betty” entered college she became a member of Schaff and ever since has been a strong and ardent Schaffite. as well as a student of no mean ability. Betty” is one of Olevian’s Jolly Girls.” and is the life of any party. If you want a good game to play, or a good book to read ask EJetty.” Do you feel like singing? Get Betty” to play the piano. We feel sure there must be some attraction in Wilmington other than her home which causes this petite miss to leave the campus so often. We wonder if it is her interest in aeronautics (?). Although she is such a small lady, she is so big-hearted and friendly that one is charmed at once with her personality. Blighty-thrcc AGNES C. LORENZ l;iNWOOD. Pa.

At that time he was a varsity baseball man which speaks for his athletic ability. Although talented along several lines, he has devoted his time to study. Not without attractions he is one of those who either by choice, circumstances, or necessity most probably the former has r.ot gone in for extra-curricular activities along the social lines. That he is well enough thought of by the men is shown by his election to the Men’s Student Council. As a member of the H-P Group he has thoroughly equipped himself to teach the social studies, but he is alto interested in the legal profession. Lots of luck. Eighty-fnc HELEN MAE LUCAS Harrisburc..

The very first day of our Freshman year wc were impressed with Helen’s natural dignity and mien, and ever since it has been a source of great admiration. Those who know Helen well have discovered beneath her apparently calm exterior a keen sense of humor and an aptitude for planning amusing situations. 1 fere we have a person of many capabilities.

In all kinds of weather Flora keeps smiling, and that smile has helped to brighten many a dreary afternoon for the Day Students. We are glad to see F lora sitting with her classmates on Founder's Day and at the Christmas banquet, for we feel that the party would not be complete with her absent.

Living in Potfcstown is quite a convenience for an Ursinus student, and Lu” took advantage of the proximity quite frequently during the early part of her career at Ursinus. We dare say her Packard has covered the ground between Pottstown and Collegeville so often that it could almost make the trip without a chauffeur. The Glee Club has benefited greatly by her membership. She is one of the mainstays of the alto section. As a member of the Women's Dorm Committee Lu proved her ability for organizing and managing benefit activities. Her personality is quite pleasing and her friendship greatly treasured. In the classroom and on the campus she exhibits the same general qualities dependability and geniality. Whatever she chooses to do after college days, we are assured she will set a high mark.

Blossburg claims him for her own and for the benefit of those who would like to know the location of this place: you will find it in the wilds of Tioga County. Charlie is one of our more mature men and thus is all a dignified Senior is supposed to be. Yet beneath that phlegmatic exterior one finds a very likeable and sincere person. Nothing delights him more than a discussion, and no matter what the subject is whoever has heard him has been delighted at his clever repartee. In the social realm Charlie has kept the natural order and made Sommers follow May. That he is talented as an actor was shown us by his fine performance in Seventh I leaven.

His career began by rooming in the “lower regions” (Field Cage), but he has spent the last two years with the canines of Dog House. “Rus spent many of his days with the bunch in old “Fat” I ligh’s room in Freeland; and many were the pinochle games that lasted far into the night with Rus” holding a hand. He is familiar as a member of the Choir and Glee Club, and Rus” and his uke arc famous for good entertainment on many occasions. Glenwood Hall has always been a loving spot for Rus” and the evening he is not there will usually find him taking in a movie at Norristown.

Best of luck. “Rus.” Ninety HERMAN FRANKLIN MECKSTROTH Meutztown. Pa. Kulztoun High School Chcmicul'Bioiogical Group: Glee Club: Highland Hall. That there is no love like a first love seems to fit Herman’s ease exactly. He entered with our class as a Freshman from Kutztown High School. At the end of his first year he left us for a sojourn of two years at Muhlenberg, returning to us this year. We arc glad “Meek” did this and know that he made a wise choice. Perhaps he is not as well known as the most of us. but those who are in the inner circle know him to be a very sincere, earnest, and determined young man. His jolly laugh is familiar to us. and who could be unhappy in his presence. The Glee Club knows his ability as a songster.

He is one of the best students at Ursinus today, and it is rare but true that one of the best students at Ursinus is the best quarterback that has ever worn an Ursinus uniform. He is not only an expert at football, but likewise excels at basketball and baseball.

In forensics and oratory she won undisputed positions of a high value. Every organization to which she belonged claimed her at one time as its executive. Lois has the faculty of seeing the brighter side of a situation no matter how hopeless it may appear.

We hope to hear of his being a big leaguer some day in ( ollegcville. Not only in athletics has he shown his ability, but also in singing. His Glee Club trips will always be filled with fond remembrances. To think of Art as a preacher’s son is taboo, for his smiling and sunny face leaves no signs of that demure and solemn attitude he should bear.

This altruistic New Jerseyite has an innate keenness for arrangement, particularly in cuisine. It would be indicative of ignorance and poor taste to dispute the superiority of her menus. Many groups have learned to know Margaret’s worth, in spite of her reticence. The Y. V. and the A. A. have both profited by her aid in menus and finance. As a student she is in the highest standing. Serious? Yes, but a contagious giggle soon dispels our belief in the constancy of this state. No matter where we find Margaret in the years to come, we shall be met with all indications of success.

When this rather small person appeared on the campus we little suspected the many creditable ways in which she would express herself. Before she was at Ursinus very long Schaff discovered some of her talents, and since that time she has been called upon in society and other fields almost incessantly. Music, dramatics, and forensics have been her major extra-curricular interests. I he Choir and Glee Club benefit by her active participation. faking the leading role in Last is West. “Glad” starred very distinctly and endeared herself to the hearts of the appreciative audience.

To Harold goes the honor of being the best musician of the class. As a member of the Glee Club, the Orchestra. Choir, and the Band he has proven his versatility. Who that has heard him. but can remember the stirring blasts he produces with his trumpet or the jazzy strains with his saxophone. Many of SchafT’s programs have been made a success by his pleasing performances as a soloist and an orchestra leader. “Pete’ intends to pursue the study of law and with the extra psychology he has acquired here, we feel he will be a success, and expect to hear of him in the future Halls-Mills and Beach-Littlendahl cases.

Ann is popular for her ability and willingness to do whatever she is called upon to do. Wherever there is a party, a joke told, or a trick played, this bundle of fun is always a contributing factor. Aside from the scholastic record, Ann is a lover of good music and the tones of a saxophone thrill her as much as the beauty of a fair curl. Ann is ambitious and we know she will be a successful teacher for a few years before obtaining her new degree in the domestic realm. One hundred GERTRUDE SARAH ROTHF.NBERGER I .IMF, Kiln. Pa.

Schaff has claimed ” I rudy” as one of its members, and in her has found a loyal and willing worker. She has shown us that even the smaller members of the class are not to be outdone in the classroom, and here she has played her part along with the rest of us. While studies, hockey, and Schaff consume much of Trudy’s” time, there lias still been time for her social education. In this line she has been amply tutored by a ‘big Bear” whose native haunt is the Vermont Mountains. ” Trudy has shown the true Ursinus spirit by cheering hard for the Bears while at school, and it may be that it will become a lifelong job.

M. are traditional rivals, but that does not necessarily mean that the individuals of the two schools must be enemies also. Mary proves this for us. Mary also spends many week-ends at home and Lancaster is not so awfully far from Reading. During her Freshman year Mary joined Zwing. and she has remained faithful throughout the four years. Although Mary is small in stature, we know that she has a big future ahead of her. The class expects great things of Mary. One hundred two RAY SCHELL Bi.oomsocrc. Pa.

Pop is a natural born leader, and proved this fact by his stellar performances on the football field during the 1927 campaign. To Ray goes much of the credit for keeping his team in the proper mental attitude, which enabled them to come out of the season victorious. Ray also has business ability. As manager of the basketball team he has handled the affairs of that organization to perfection. Pop” is every inch a man. and a loyal supporter of anything pertaining to Ursinus. Should he follow the coaching game, as we are led to believe he will, we arc positive he will develop into a second Knutc Rockne. One hundred three WILLIAM HENRY MISSIMER SCHMUCK Norristown. Pa.

He loved the place so much that he couldn’t leave it for his meals. Norristown sent us Bill and through the years he has always commuted, so that we saw little of him at night. Whenever Zwing meets and the name of Schmuck is called, the answer is present. To her he has been faithful since the black socks days. Many a program was enriched by his musical ability. The Day Study lias seen Bill in many a hossy ’ and pinochle game, in which his repartee and skill arc well known. Musical circles at Ursinus arc familiar with his sincere and untiring efforts. Whether Bill becomes a teacher or enters the field of industrial chemistry, we predict a great future for him. One hundred four HERMAN SCHREINER Reading. Pa.

I Icrman appeared early on the campus in 1924 and was lucky enough to be assigned to the newly opened dorm. Highland Hall. 1 lowevcr, he was able to survive the rigors of that mischievous year and did not fall by the wayside as did his two roommates. His mind was made up as to what he would do after he left college, when he entered. He has made the most of every opportunity to fit himself for the medical profession. Not only in the field of science, but also in dramatics, as a make-up artist, actor, and clog dancer, he has made a name for himself. One hundred five RUTH ELIZABETH SORT Sl.ATINGTON. Pa.

Ruth has quite an artistic ability, and numerous organizations on the campus have profited by the magic of her artistic touch. Her critical ability is equally valuable. Whenever there is a sign or banner to be made, or decorating to be done, Soltie” is willing and right on the job. Schaff has benefited especially by her talent in artistic as well as other lines. Her beautiful black hair is quite distinguishable, for it has never been shorn. Together with her big black eyes it occasions a second glance in any company.

He was one of that band, loyal to Sophomore traditions, which succeeded in keeping the Freshman president from his class banquet for the first time in college history. At all times knowledge of his past exploits kept one wondering as to what the next trick would be.

Do you want something original? Go to “Stibby.'' Do you w-ant something clever? Go to Stibby.” Do you want a good worker? That's ''Stibby.’ too. In fact, she is the most versatile young lady on the campus, and an allround good sport. Where there is anything important to be done you will always find her in its midst, for no function would seem complete without her. Nor must we feel that her whole life is spent in pursuit of the spice of life, for she actually does study. All the faculty and the Weekly staff will bear witness that she has a mind of her own and a very good one at that. Beast as well as man yields to her sunny disposition, so that she is known as a dog's best friend.

In every sport Jake has proven his calibre and ability as a coach and a real man. ’Jake was also a first-class student and took his studies seriously, but at the same time was always ready to mix with the fellows when a good time was to be had. “Jake will always be remembered as a real sport and as a gentleman, an Ursinus man first, last, and always.

As proof that absent-mindedness is not limited to professors, we have 'Dot.' Some of it may be ascribed to the fact that she is the daughter of a professor, but we hate to blame it all on him. More of it may be due to the artistic tem-perment for which she is famed on the campus through the medium of her painted slickers. I hese are the theories: Take your choice. If there is anything to be done. Dot is always willing to help cheerfully. Her disposition is as sunny as her hair, and she always has a smile for every one. It is a true pleasure to work with her. We must not forget ’Dottie's” fondness for the trumpet. Not that she plays one. It is just her love of good music well rendered by a fine musician.

When one peers cautiously under the reserved, businesslike exterior of this little maid, a cheerful and fun-loving nature reveals itself. There’s a twinkle in her big. brown eyes that arouses curiosity and a desire to know her better. At times she’s very sober, and in her official capacity as president of the Woman’s Student Government, she exhibits a delightful mixture of executive ability, poise, tact, and individuality. Throughout her whole college career Ruth was creditably affiliated with the Student Council, and her leadership in her last year added laurels to her plenteous store. Ruth is a very fine singer, but a bit reluctant to perform. When she’s not too busy, cheerful notes can be heard coming from her room. “Rufus” is one of the famous Allentonians and lives up in full to the standard that implies.

Little did Ursinus suspect what a mine of talents it acquired when Viv” decided to make it her college home. Each year has revealed more and greater talent. Her interest has been impartially divided between athletics, music, and studies. We dare not omit the last-named interest, because “Viv is really quite a fine student. We understand that she is a sine qua non” at Shreiner Christmas parties and they say there ain’t no Santa Claus.” Her place on the basketball team will be hard to fill, for her speed and accuracy in handling the ball are not easily matched. Schaff will miss her as a pianist and as an all-round worthy member. Not all of 'Viv'o” interests are on the campus, however. Under the benign influence of Christianity.” she has developed a deep interest in the ministry. With that we must stop; anything we might add would be telling.

Chemistry is his favorite subject, besides listening in on the radio, and some day hopes to make it his profession study. He has never expressed his ideas regarding his future life, but we know some doctors! If we were to sum up “Herb’s” characteristics we would find jollity leading the list.

So really we cannot blame “Bob.” but must go deeper in trying to seek out the reason he is so frequently seen on the path leading away from the library or examining the architecture of Maples from such stragetic positions as the front porch or the reception room. We owe a great deal to Bob for his fine performance in Seventh Heaven. Bob expects to enter seminary after leaving Collegcvillc. One hundred sci'cntccn LA RUJE CAROLYN WLRTMAN Palmi.rton. Pa.

It was not. however, until the Sophomore year that “Polly really began to make herself known on the campus. She did this through her skill as a pianist and her willingness to aid and assist in the campus activities. She is one of the several accompanists at Ursinus and can always be depended upon to accomplish what she set out to do. Yes, they say, “Music hath charms. but the musician very often has a great deal to do with it. She is very much interested in Y. W. work, but the modern languages seem to appeal to her more, so we will hope that instead of doing missionary work in China, she will remain here and impart her knowledge in the high schools of the United States.

In September of 1924 his parents hurled this boisterous cloud of ambition upon the Ursinus campus, where he was obliged to hibernate with the motley crew of Highland Hall. Windy” has distinguished himself as a well-rounded out professional on the campus. As an efficient executor he has displayed his ability on the Weekly staff and the waiting force. Besides being a tantilizer of humanity, he captured the second prize in the Junior Oratorical Contest. After taking an A.

Our first year in the old regime was marked by the customs and traditions of the college. The kingly Sophs, would-be rulers of the Frosh. bowed in humiliation after both the tug-of-war and the football game. On the court we were not so successful and were forced to acknowledge defeat. Not to be outdone by the athletes, our social hounds had their chance at the annual banquet held at the Adelphia Hotel in Philadelphia. Practically the entire class attended with the exception of the president, who was at that time being lavishly entertained in and around the city. Our social affairs together with the athletic contests were developing a spirit of co-operation which was to aid greatly in the expansion movement of our school. Returning for our second year we found a few of our friends missing. It was now our turn to play with the Frosh. and many new tricks were introduced, including the so-called Freshman Week. In the Greater Ursinus Campaign our class responded liberally and gave every effort possible to help raise the needed amount. Our history for the remainder of our college career will be marked by new conditions, existing in a different environment. Regardless of changes, our class will blend itself into the life of the New Ursinus. D.WK IIAKHISON. !. One hundred twenty-three Class Roll Irene M. Ackerman Malcolm E. Baku Waltf.r Belt . William A.

We attribute this period of development not to superior abilities exhibited by the members of 30. but to the untiring efforts of the alumni, the friends of the college, and every one connected with the institution who co-operated to bring about the plans laid for that larger and greater Ursinus. Aided and inspired by such a promising future, we. the uninitiated, entered into the unknown realm of college life, prepared to enjoy its pleasures, grow stronger by its sorrows, and reach ever upward to the standards set by the college and to our own individualistic ideals. Crowding fast upon our initial appearance in the activities of the college, the tug-of-war. from which we emerged defeated in body but united in spirit, came various social events of the season, namely: The Y. M.-Y. W. Reception and. most important of all. the Freshman Banquet held at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Philadelphia. In athletics our victories were divided. On the football field our Frosh boys walked off with the laurels by a 8-0 victory over the Sophs, but the girls, after a hard-fought battle on the hockey field, lost to the more experienced Sophomore team. Soon came the Christmas vacation, and then the mid-semester examinations. Most of us came through the ordeal unscathed, but a few. who could not keep up the pace, were left behind. After this experience we felt ourselves truly full-fledged members of Ursinus. And now a year has rolled around. We are no longer guileless Freshmen, but sophisticated, tantalizing Sophs, the bug-a-bcar of Freshmen lives. In the classroom, in social activities, and in athletics we arc showing our true mettle. To our ever-growing list of successes and victories we added this fall the tug-of-war and the football game. In a brief space our Sophomore year will have sped away, existing only as a cherished memory in our minds. With the first half of our college career thus completed, may we. in the two untried years which lie before us. continue to live for the glory and honor of our dear alma mater Ursinus.

Ursinus has again welcomed a Freshman Class into her midst, the largest which has demanded entrance at her gates. For the first few days one could scarcely distinguish between the f reshmen and upper classmen, and often Big Brothers and Sisters” were mistaken for little brothers and sisters. Soon, however, the girls appeared with green bands and buttons: and the fellows with red dinks and black tics. The first battle with the Sophs was the tug-of-war. This struggle did not turn out very successfully for us. but we did learn the great lesson of co-operation. We were extremely fortunate, however, with our banquet which is the biggest event of the Freshman year. The Benjamin Franklin 1 lotel in Philadelphia was the scene of our gaycty. and every one looks back upon it with delightful memories. The Freshman Class brought a great deal of pep and has helped considerably to increase the Ursinus spirit. At the close of the varsity football season we were pitted against the Sophs for class supremacy in that sport. A stiff battle ensued in which our rivals nosed out a 6-0 victory. As we proceed onward toward our desired goal, we hope that our class will prove itself a worthy addition to Ursinus College. “Res Bkknkr. Pm.

String. I'rcs. M en c Council K Von StkcmkS. Pres. Women’s Council IN ORDER that Ursinus College could take its place among the advanced ■ colleges of the blast, a Student Government Organization was introduced in the institution. 1 he college had formerly been under the disciplinary control of the faculty, but in order to keep in line with progressive colleges the power was given over to the students. The student government idea at Ursinus has worked itself into two separate councils, one for the men. and the other for the women. The councils have at times, it seems, made some mistakes in the matter of individual punishment. However, these blunders have been few in comparison with the good these organizations have attempted to render. These organizations arc not only for the purpose of promoting justice and equality, but the councils have it in their power to carry forward any worthy project that concerns the student body. In addition to this function, the councils also promote the dances that are held once a month in the l ield Cage. 1 here is no doubt that the student councils have been an important factor in the life of the college, and have been largely responsible for the many progressive movements attempted by the student body. One hundred thirty-nine Fox Harrison Johnson Black Clayton Biglvy Fitzkec Felton St r inn Ixiux Men s Student Government Association President . Chari.es String Secretary J. Wilbur Clayton TPON this organization rests the responsibility of the disciplinary phase of college activity among the men. The Student Council is an outgrowth of the demand on the part of the students themselves to avoid faculty rule. It has progressed very much from the time it was adopted and is now a vital force in all campus affairs. Much criticism is heard from time to time regarding its work, but nevertheless it stands as one of the organizations responsible for many progressive movements. The present council has completely set aside all petty prejudices and differences. and will be remembered for its attempt to mete out justice and to stand firm on all decisions made.

Its aim is to make the life of every college woman a happy one by appealing to her sense of fairness, responsibility. and good judgment in conducting herself in accordance with the basic rules of the Association. The Council this year consists of girls who are qualified by their common sense and worthiness of character to be leaders among their mates. They arc trying to develop a keen sense of personal responsibility in each woman student by placing great reliance on her integrity. This group of representatives is trying to accomplish some real constructive work. I hey have planned a program whereby women who have been successful in their chosen fields, give lectures to the college women on the various vocations they represent. I he many new privileges enjoyed by the members of the Association are the results of the energetic efforts on the part of the Council, whose aim has been to make the government of the Ursinus women most democratic. One hundred forty-one T,E influence of music is becoming more widespread every day; it is an influence which soothes, relieves, recreates, and elevates the people. It lifts us from the commonplace and dullness of life into a realm of peace and beauty, where the soul is stirred and awakened until it catches a glimpse of the open gates of Paradise, and is inspired and strengthened. The pure and exalted emotions it kindles, its sweet and enchanting melody, and the richness of its tone, gives Music a universal appeal. I he students of Ursinus are especially privileged. in that love for the art is kept alive and active, l or not only are the studies of harmony and the technique of music included in the curriculum, but private instruction in both piano and the voice are obtainable for the development of the talents of the more fortunate. I low-ever. for those who arc unable to perform, yet who love and appreciate good music, many presentations of excellent quality are afforded for their entertainment. I he chapel exercises are made more beautiful and more effective by the daily organ prelude, and the rendition of weekly choral anthems. The Choir, which is larger and better developed than ever before, adds the necessary touch of solemnity to the formal opening of the College. Founder’s Day. and the Commencement activities. On Baccalaureate Sunday the combined glee clubs and the choir present an oratorio under the capable direction of Miss Hartenstinc. No one who heard The New Farth. by Hadley, last year could help but feel inspired and uplifted by it. It typified the high standard of perfection and character of music preferred by Ursinus students.

Much pleasure and enjoyment is afforded its members in the weekly rehearsals, where the art of group singing and beauty of tone and expression are emphasized. A great deal of credit must be given to Miss Hartenstine. whose able leadership and untiring efforts have made the club an organization of note on the campus. This year there is a larger number of candidates than ever before who arc desirous of learning the technique and art of choral singing. With so much talent at hand, every one is anticipating a very delightful program which will display the superior training received, and show to advantage the charm and beauty in feminine voices. One hundred forty-four Publications I ’HE modern newspaper is one of the most vital forces in the life of the American citizen. The average person pays two cents for the publication and docs not realize the quantity of effort and intelligence required to publish it. I he modern newspaper is an exact parallel to the Ursinus College publications. The unceasing labor which is required to edit our efforts of the journalistic type is never realized by the readers. Other campus leaders receive their reward, but the importance of editors and managers arc overlooked. Although there is little open reward for the students who arc responsible for the publications, they are repaid for their efforts by the vast wealth of experience which they receive. I he staffs of the Ruby. Weekly. Handbook, and other publications arc always striving to place Ursinus College on a higher plane; and to place the events of the college before the world at large. I o further the cause of better journalism the Ursinus Weekly is a member of the Intercollegiate Association. Every year the Weekly sends representatives to the conferences held in the interest of better publications. Charles H. Engle attended the meeting held on May 12. 1927. at Lehigh University. Bethlehem. Pa. Many prominent speakers attended this conference and the timely questions of the collegiate newspapermen were ably discussed by leading American journalists. Delegates were also sent to the conference held at Havcrford College on the ninth and tenth of December. 1927. C.

In this book it was the plan of the editors to record in as beautiful a form as possible the campus activities of the current year. Consideration, however, was also given to the fact that limited funds permitted no radical changes to be made. All the activities recorded are carried out in conjunction with an art motif tracing the history of the drama. The divisional pages show great moments from great plays.’ and represent some of the best art work that has ever appeared in any Ruby. Other important features are an enlarged athletic section, beautiful set of campus views, and a “different’' feature section. The task was a difficult one. but the staff has labored diligently to produce a volume that will long live in the memories of all. combining beauty with utility. One hundred forty-six Explanatory IN ORDLR to better understand the art motif used in the 1928 Ruby a short A explanation follows: The ex-libris design and the subtitle design arc both tragedy masks originated for use in the Ruby. The title page strikes the first dominant note of the theme with a picture of Bomberger in tint, and superimposed the masks carrying the busts of Dionysus and Shakespeare. I he foreword page plaque shows the drama in the time of Shakespeare, and is a scene in the old Globe Theatre in London. The contents page leads us into the melodrama and shows us a famous scene from Uncle Tom's C abin. The left page of the dedication shows the pillar of Dionysus and the right a scene from early Greek tragedy. The art motif page carries an illustration from early Roman pageantry, and on the right hand page we sec the pageant of the Renaissance. I he staff page completes the historical note and is a scene from Shakespeare. In the arrangement of the view section the lower panel is the Idyllic Greek Pageant of ancient times, while the perpendicular panel at the left is the modern idea with Benda masks. The Senior page panel strikes the ultra-modern note and represents the interior of a modern theatre. The division page design shows leather I ime in a box seat toying with a jester doll while he views the pageant of the drama. In the divisional plaques we see for Ursinus. a movie set; Classes, a scene from the “Vagabond King” with both rabble and royalty: Activities, the familiar minstrel show; Drama, a tragic scene from I lamlct”; Athletics, the famous scene from Sappho”: Features, a comic scene showing Figaro in the “Barber of Seville : and Organizations, a scene with Fred Stone in the Wizard of Oz.

It is published by the Alumni Association of the college and edited and managed by students selected by the board of control each year for their interest in journalism and their scholastic standing. It keeps the alumni in touch with their Alma Mater and tends to produce a more friendly feeling through its columns. The business staff consists of Business, C irculation. and Advertising Managers. The division of the activities of the business staff has been found to solve many problems which confronted it. Under the editorship of Mr. Charles Engle the Weekly made many strides forward, but no sweeping changes can be made, due to insufficient funds and a lack of space.

'29 HTI IK Handbook is a publication which appears on the campus early in each academic year to enlighten and direct new members of the student body. Its resume of the various activities, interests, organizations. and traditions of the college makes it invaluable to the I rosh; and the many helpful suggestions it contains give it genuine worth to all students. The combined Young Women s and Young Men’s C hristian Associations sponsor its publication, and in this way give initial evidence to newcomers of their sincere and helpful spirit. The (Jrsinus Bulletin ' I 'I IK Ursinus Bulletin is the official publication of the administrative department of the college. It is issued several times during the year, and each publication concerns some special phase of administration. The main issue presents a detailed account of the courses offered, a complete list of the faculty, and student body, and an explanation of the government and administration of the college. It is distributed among prospective students, alumni, and friends of the college, and serves them as a condensed fund of general information. One hundred forty-nine Debate OEVERAL years ago the realization of the value of forensics to college students became apparent to Ursinus people. They realized the value it bore in the teaching profession, business, the ministry, law. and. in fact, in all the professional walks of life. This they found to be true, not only as far as the men were concerned; but the women too. discovered the benefit they would derive from this extra-curricular activity. As a result, both the men and the women organized debating teams and clubs. Each ensuing year has revealed a marked improvement in the success of the Ursinus debating teams. Now. the college has completed its eighth forensic year with all the teams winning numerous victories. The following question was debated by the teams: ‘‘Resolved, that the United States should cancel the war debts owed her by the Allies.’’ The schedule included Waynesboro, Temple. Juniata. Albright. Elizabethtown. Muhlenberg. Penn State. Lafayette, Geneva, and New York University. All these colleges and universities presented teams of no mean ability. The men’s teams are truly grateful to Prof. Martin Witmer. their coach. It was due to his untiring efforts and sacrifice of time in training the teams that the college was able to achieve its place in the forensic world. Dr. Elizabeth B. White, coach of the girls’ teams, enabled them by her capable assistance, to complete a year which bears no blot on its record, for the girls won every debate on the schedule. s. Rai'mkk. v«. 1.

This organization has for its aim the development of interest and skill in debating and allied subjects among the undergraduates. That it has succeeded is shown by the admirable record Ursinus debaters hold along the forensic line. Both experienced debaters, and those who lack any experience, obtain valuable assistance. This is obtained from the debates and the discussions which make up the program. The debating club of last year was composed for the most part of Seniors and as a result at that time little interest w'as shown. This year the spirit of competition was again renewed.

The genuine and widespread interest in debating for women fully accounts for this and assures a bright future. The club meets in Bombcrger Hall every third Monday evening to hear a debate prepared by selected members of the organization, and to consider current business. The intrinsic value of these debates in the club is the training they give. The management of forensic teams during the intercollegiate season is also a part of the club’s work. Last year the Women’s Debate Club sent out two teams that remained undefeated throughout an entire season of difficult encounters. One hundred fifty-four Nickel Park Tan Kappa Alpha I ‘HE, local chapter of 1 au Kappa Alpha, the honorary forensic fraternity. was established here four years ago. Yet in that short time it has been a big incentive for an increased interest in the forensic arts. Originally the fraternity was masculine, but the comparatively recent interest women have shown in debating caused the National Council to include them. The membership has been almost depleted, due to graduation, there being only two active members on the campus. These vacancies have served to stimulate keen competition in all forensics.

After many charming plots laid by the Spirits of the Woods, the maiden followed the desire of her heart by leaving her sorrowing friends to join her lover. Kathryn Reimert, 27. was the most beautiful and lovable maiden, who. with true, royal graciousness and simple dignity, received the wreath of flowers which proclaimed her Queen of May. One hundred fifty-seven The Lyceum Course F VER'l year the Community Entertainment Course provides a delightful, varied program of outside talent. This affords an opportunity for the enjoyment of high-class entertainment by artists of note. I he Aeolian Male Quartette presented a program of beautiful and difficult selections which appealed to every listener. Mary Evrery Hotz. a soprano of great ability, added the feminine touch to the concert which gave added enjoyment. Most unusual and fascinating was the entertainment given by Nicoletta s Harp Ensemble, consisting of five harps led by Mr. Nicoletta. The leader of this interesting group is the harpist of the Philadelphia Orchestra, which fact alone is sufficient assurance that the concert was most effective and delightful. The assisting artist. Frederick Homer, whose rich baritone made him an indispensable member of the Nicoletta entertainers, gave the proper balance to the program. A most appropriate climax was reached when the Woman’s Symphony Orchestra of Philadelphia composed of fifty pieces made its appearance. It was an unusual spectacle to behold a symphony orchestra composed of women. But their superior ability and excellent training was shown in the skill with which they handled their instruments and in the beauty of tone they produced. William S. Thunder, who accompanied the orchestra, has won the hearts of his Ursinus audience because of his ability as an artist and his striking personality. One hundred fifty-eight Groups The Group System LTHOUGH Ursinus College was young in comparison with other venerable colleges of the state, the group system of study as a fundamental principle of the educational program was early adopted. The broad vision possessed by those men who were moulding the policy of this institution, authenticated the value of the group system, l or this plan, more or less modified, is found to be prevalent, not only in the state alone, but throughout the entire country. The system proffers diverse courses of instruction in carefully organized groups. 1 hese groups include paramount subjects which conform to the desires and future aims of the student. It permits him to select a major course and also a well-balanced group of electives. It makes possible a liberal education, in the best sense of the word. This unsurpassable opportunity Ursinus C ollege offers to the world.

And all the men and women merely players.” A ND so we might continue to depict life as the Father of F.nglish Drama has so well phrased it. likening our brief existence to the moments spent behind the footlights. For. though acting at first seems shallow in purpose and indefinite in aim. through every worthwhile drama we can trace the purpose which makes even the smallest role of importance to the finished piece. No masterpiece is perfect until its slightest detail is beyond correction, and life will be at its best only when every participant makes the most of his part, whether it be as lead or extra. It has always been the pur| osc of Ursinus to make her sons and daughters better players on the stage of life by offering a broader education and a real purpose for future careers. And. along with the notable work our Alma Mater has done in preparing for the world, has run a parallel line of achievement in the development of the drama as a fine art. Dramatic efforts at Ursinus have never been on the curricular plane, and the accomplishments arc all the more praiseworthy in this light. Although the players are amateurs and the practice hours must be crowded into already heavy schedules, the valuable and untiring efforts of Prof. Franklin I. Shecder. Jr., and Mrs. Josephine X. Sheeder have, in the last few years, made worthwhile dramatic successes possible. Any cast can be made to act fairly well, but it takes directors with real ingenuity to make even talented amateurs act with true feeling and interpretation. To the coaches belongs this quality; to them must go the success of the drama at Ursinus. Several of the most notable productions which have been presented in recent years are “Beau Brummel.......Ihe Fool.” and Seventh 1 leaven.” as well as several shorter successes by the Curtain Club. I he new gym-theatre promises to add a decided impetus to dramatics at Ursinus. | . (Crasley. Pres. Curtain ( tub One hundred sixty-four Mr. ami Mrs. F. I Sum ! kk.

Lois Nickel ONI-, of the most delightful and profitable school activities on the campus is embodied in the Curtain Club the Drama. The organization is quite a young one. having existed only three years, but during that time many advancements have been made, formerly, the literary societies alone sponsored dramatic productions. Then, in order to intensify the interest, to develop more fully the capabilities of those with talent in the art. and to reveal latent ability, the Curtain C lub was formed. Now it has taken dramatics out of the hands of the societies, affording more opportunity for specialization. Membership in the club is limited to a comparatively small number, including only upper classmen. A system of competitive tryouts of not only interpretation. but stage management, and artistic setting as well, form a basis of entrance into the club. Such limited membership provides an organization wherein those richly endowed by nature with dramatic talent, and those with a knowledge of the technicality of a production can better concentrate their efforts and develop the art more fully. I One hundred sixty-fioc ttl� Junior Plcuj “ 0EVENTH HEAVEN. the popular play by Austin Strong, was the dramatic presentation of the Junior Class. The theme of the play is the conversion of an atheist, brought about by the love of a good and beautiful woman, and the realization of his desire in the slums of Paris. I he girl, who is to be something more than a sewer rat badly mistreated by an elder sister, goes with him to a dingy tenement, but her great love makes her call it Heaven. His love for her makes a real man of him and he answers the call of his country, coming home physically blind: but spiritually his eyes arc open to the Bon Dicu. One hundred sixty-scccn Schaff Anniversary O CHAFF commemorated its fifty- sixth anniversary with Richard Brinsley Sheridan's well-known comedy. The Rivals. The quality of this pen of a master playwright, centering eighteenth century comedy from the around the love of two men for the same woman; together with a well-chosen cast, and the excellent coaching of F’rof. and Mrs. F. I. Sheeder. made it a production that will long be remembered for its brilliancy. One hundred sixty-nine Zwi ngli a n A n n i vers ary ZWINCLIAN LITERARY SOCIETY celebrated its fifty-seventh anniversary by presenting an ultra-successful production. The Tool.” by Chan-ning Pollock. In staging and plot, the play proved one of the biggest dramatic achievements put on at Ursinus in recent years. The story is one of an earnest young minister who has begun his work in a large New York church among a wealthy class of people. I heir hypocrisies and criticisms of his clearly defined sympathy with the poorer classes cause his resignation, but. even when his fiancee breaks the engagement because she will not forego a life of luxury, he remains firm in his search for the really worthwhile life. Called a fool by the profiteers who consider themselves successes, he takes up social work and is finally recognized by them as the only one who has found the finer things of life. One hundred seventy-one The Brotherhood of St. Paul President Malcolm E. Bari Vice-President Howard G. Koons Secretary-Treasurer Harvey M. Lytle pvNE of the most active and influential Christian organizations upon the Ursinus campus is the Brotherhood of St. Paul. Dr. James I. Good, a former professor of church history in the college, and one of the most outstanding and venerated leaders of the Reformed Church, founded this organization almost twenty-five years ago. Since that time it has played an important part in the moulding and the shaping of young men for a life of Christian service. During the college year it seeks to bring young men into contact with the ideals, lofty character, and great leadership, not only of the Apostle Paul, after whom the organization was named, but also with the ideals and program of Jesus. The Brotherhood meets monthly, at which time papers and addresses arc given by its members pertaining to the problems that confront religion today. It trys to seek solutions for these problems, earnestly endeavoring to know the truth, and gives expression in things which possess purposefulness and charm. It is a liberal organization which knows no creed or denominational constraints, but seeks to instill that purity of life, nobility of character, and a will for service which so characterized its founder. One hundred sccenly-Uvo Christian Organizations JUS I as the ringing up of each curtain brings us nearer the real purpose of a play, so the opening of each new year reveals more poignantly the real need for Christian organizations on the campus. The student of today is no more satisfied with a single-track existence than is an audience seeing both hero and villain enacted by the same person. I he several factors of a well-rounded life arc even more important than the obviously necessary contrasts of character in an interesting plot. No college man or woman is four-square unless he or she is actively engaged in living the fourfold life. It is the purpose of the Christian organizations to teach the fourfold life encouraging physical, mental, social, and spiritual progress throughout the four-act drama of a college career. These organizations, in particular the Y. M. and the Y. W. C. A., are endeavoring to deepen the spiritual life by broadening social life and welding the two into a sort of fraternal spirit which will mould true character. The significance of this aim is steadily influencing a greater number, who recognize a desire to leave the lowlands for the beauty and grandeur of spiritual mountains. I he humdrum happenings of everyday life become tedious and need the constant refreshing which only spiritual satisfaction can give. I fere at Ursinus the midweek meetings of the Christian Associations arc especially placed and planned to meet the needs of the students who feel the expedience of spiritual rejuvenation to meet the cares of life with renewed vigor. If that aim shall be accomplished to an ever-increasing degree, the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. will feel fully repaid for their efforts. r, IH Moykr. Pres. y ir. .t.

Zwinglian Literary Society seems to be truly symbolic of this eminent and energetic man. Throughout the years of its existence the effects of hard work and effort remain as a standard set by the organizers, which the Zwinglian members bear aloft in their minds.

Since that date many benefits have been given, on the campus and off. with the result that almost five hundred dollars was in their coffers at the end of the academic year. Under the able chairmanship of Barbara Boston, a special committee arranged bake sales, bridge parties, motion picture benefits, and other affairs of a similar nature, in towns and cities having a fair representation in the student body and a general interest in the college. In addition to that, playlets, tea dances, and the like, were planned and executed on the campus throughout the year. The Ursinus Women’s Club, at its annual meeting in June, voted to devote its energy and funds to a new dormitory for women. This action served to stimulate the movement already begun, and gave promise of a prosperous future. Renewed vigor attended the initial efforts on the campus, at the opening of the following college term. Everything seems to indicate that the amount raised during the first term will be redoubled by the close of the 1927-28 college year. York, Allentown. Philadelphia. Reading. Pottstown, Norristown. Bangor, Haddonfield. N. J.. and Farmingdalc, N. J.. were among the towns and cities that gave an excellent support to benefits during the first year. This list has been increased by several additions at later dates. The movement for a new building for the residence of women students, although very recent, is deeply rooted and promises to consummate in a splendid new structure at some date not far in the future.

Captain ok Sport in Season THE Varsity C lub is an organization of the letter men of the college presided over by the captain of the sport in season. At the present time this organization is dormant, but serves as an honorary society for the men who have earned their letters in any phase of athletics. The purpose for which the club was founded was to promote a fraternal and uplifting feeling among the men who represent the college on the athletic fields. Although this is an excellent purpose, there are too many other organizations which have taken its place and have in other ways tended to produce fraternal interests and winning teams to promote the glory of the U.” Even though the club is not active, it is a worthy organization and membership in it should be one of the goals of every Ursinus athlete.

This year under the leadership of Karl Thompson and sponsored by the Booster Committee, a permanent organization was effected and a band of thirty-five pieces added its bit to the success of athletic contests.

OUTSTANDING among the benefits of the Ursinus Alumni Association is the avenue it creates for the expression of the desire of the Alumni to do something for their Alma Mater. I he organization is a staunch supporter of all that is constructive and beneficial to the college. In the matter of interesting prospective students of the right kind, it performs an invaluable service. Although most of the women in the association arc also interested in the Ursinus Woman’s Club, and the men sponsor and compose the Athletic Club, as a general Alumni body they accomplish great ends. The Memorial Library is a gift from them alone. The Ursinus Weekly. although a student publication, is partially supported and controlled by the Alumni Association. During the week of Commencement activities the organization holds its annual banquet and business sessions. Branch associations are established and maintained in various localities, usually centers of Ursinus interest. Among these centers arc: York. Lebanon. Harrisburg. Philadelphia. Bethlehem. Reading. I-ancastcr. I amaqua. Chambersburg. and the states of New York and Ohio. An active program is carried out throughout the year in varying degrees.

In its comparatively short existence this organization has done much in the general promotion of athletic activity. Its untiring efforts have made the long dreamed of theatre-gymnasium an actuality of the first order. They paid for the cost of placing stone and cinders on the track: resurfaced and graded the athletic field; and purchased seats for the new field cage. One hundred eighty-five They have just recently assisted in the purchase of a strip of land as an addition to the athletic held. All through its career the club has been rendering assistance in the development of athletics at the college, and in many cases initiated such movements or developments.

Several years later the name of the association was changed to the Ursinus Woman's Club, so that it might include in its membership women other than Ursinus graduates who are interested in doing something for the girls in the college. The club aims to promote the interests of the college in general, but more specifically to secure greater advantages for the young women in the student body. Numerous and varied have been the benefits received through the untiring efforts of the Woman’s Club. Probably the outstanding benefit of the past was the maintenance of a physical director for girls. Since the college has taken over that responsibility the club has devoted its interests mainly toward raising money for a new dormitory for women. A regular midyear activity is the securing of talented entertainers for the evening of f ounder’s Day. The membership is increasing at a rapid rate, and the undertakings arc becoming more numerous, varied, and intensive.

Kay Sciikm (aplain 1927 One hundred ninety-one Review of the Season AFTER years of football mediocrity and failure, Ursinus College was lifted to a pinnacle of success by the fighting Bears of 1927. I'o give due praise to the members who made this highly successful season possible would require volumes. Suffice it to say, that each one of the gridiron warriors was found to do his best for the glory of the Red. Old Gold, and Black. I he team of 1927 is rated as one of the best small college elevens in the East and is a tribute to the united action of players, coaches, and students. The outlook at the beginning of the season was far from favorable, graduation having depleted the ranks of veterans. The new first year eligibility rule, and a hard schedule also had to be faced. Everything boded ill for the Grizzlies, but a visit to the practice field showed a new spirit prevalent among coaches and players. A premonition of great things to come was in the air; and subsequent Saturdays revealed only too well the result of this spirit. Ursinus has been lifted from a mire of defeats to a ranking not far from the top. Victories over the ancient rivals. Franklin and Marshall, and Swarthmore mark the high spots of the season. Both colleges had strong teams, but succumbed in easy fashion to the fighting, aggressive Bears. Upsula, the first game of the year, was a complete victory; no doubt of the superiority of the winners was evinced at any time. Upsula did not even gain a first down. One hundred ninety-two K. % S m;i i.. Curtain The next opponent. Lehigh, defeated the Bears in a hard-fought, clean struggle at Bethlehem. Both varsity teams were equal, but Lehigh’s superior reserve material brought them a close victory. Delaware, for many years a jinx, could not withstand the attack of the victorious Bears and lost in a very fast contest. Practically the entire student body journeyed to Lancaster to sec the Blue and White humbled to the dust by a mighty Ursinus aggregation, reminiscent of the days of I hompson and Gay. The Bears scored in every quarter and left f ranklin and Marshall with a stinging defeat which will never be forgotten. Dickinson held the edge in the second home game of the season and went home with a victory. In this fight Ursinus showed the results of the high nervous tension of preceding weeks, much of the former peppy spirit lacking. The powerful George Washington team rendered the third defeat. A 93 yard run fora touchdown by one of the Washington backs provided the winning score. Muhlenberg, a much toted team, fell an easy prey to Kichline's warriors in a clean cut victory at Allentown. Swarthmore, the oldest rival of the college, was swamped by the flashy air attack of the Ursinus backs. Moyer to Jeffers. The victory over Swarthmore was the occasion for a holiday and parade. The season closed with an honorable defeat at the hands of a powerful Army eleven. This game rang down the curtain on a football season which will live as long as the name Ursinus College is known to man. One hundred ninety-three One hundred ninety-four Ur sinus Letter Men BILL” MOYER Good quarterbacks are a rarity and when present are a valuable asset to an eleven. The role of quarterback was filled in the fashion of a genius by Willard Moyer. In every game his stellar work was a feature of the contest. On offense and defense no better quarterback ever wore an Ursinus uniform. TED LaCLAIR I he spirit of the Green Mountain boys still lives today. In the heart of red La-Glair. Ursinus halfback, rests the indomitable spirit of his Vermont forbears. Ted” was a potent force in the backficld and a good man to back up the line. Although kept out of many games by injuries he was a mainstay of the team. MERRIT JEFFERS Merrit Jeffers, the captain-elect, was as great a single factor in the game as any. 11c has played in every football game for three years. The combination. Jeffers and Moyer, passing and running featured in every press report. The entire school joins in wishing Jeff” the best of success next season. BUCK FAUST Art Faust has been a consistent pluggcr for the team. Despite all handicaps, he has fought and won his position as varsity end by sheer force of perseverance. Imbued with a desire to make the football team, he has ever played with the thought of bringing the victory to Ursinus. s ) II 0 e Ursinus Letter Men BILL BENNER Dutch Benner, fullback, was perhaps the hardest worker on the team. Lighting and playing with a spirit that did not know how to falter or fail, he played game after game with injuries enough to cripple any ordinary man. Bill is a consistent gainer, and in backing up the line was without peer. ART YOUNG Young is another new varsity man. but his gaining power has earned him the right to wear the big U. Lack of experience has been his greatest handicap, but within a year he should make a back strong enough to break through any line. He is a three-letter man. JIM” DONALDSON Donaldson was the substitute end and as such saw enough service to win a letter. 1 le is new at football, never having played before entering Ursinus. Mis work, however, has been of such calibre that it will require a very good man to stop him next year. BILL McGARVEY Guards fight and play with perhaps the least recognition of all. and it is therefore proper to give McGarvey the credit due him in this place. One of the few Sophomores to earn a letter, a berth on the varsity is assured to him next year if he continues his present style of play. One hundred nindy-ficc Ursinus Letter Men BIG BAD” BLACK Lovin' Black is regarded by some as a player who deserves the honor of being placed with the famous Kerr Thompson in the hall of Ursinus immortals. A man bountifully endowed by nature for great deeds, his work on the line was phenomonal. His future foretells even greater deeds than the past. BOZO STRINE Bozo.” a mighty son of Milton. Pa., is carving for himself a niche in the hall of football fame at Ursinus. His work at tackle has been nothing short of marvelous and he deserves the highest praise. If he continues to play as he has played, nothing can stop him in his two remaining years. RANDY HELFFRICH The name Hclffrich is a tradition at Ursinus and Randolph has in no way defamed it. A Junior, he has another year to add greater lustre to his name. His work on the line at tackle is a recognized factor in the victories of the 1927 team. His spirited play was a terror to all foes. JOBBY JOHNSON Ends arc usually scarce, so the little Johnson was given a chance. He seized his opportunity and made good. As one of the regular ends his burden was far from light, but his willingness to battle and defend the Red. Old Gold, and Black, marks him as a true football warrior of Ursinus. One hundred ninety-six 0 Ursinus Letter Men BUGS JOLL A tall lanky man is Joll. Gifted by nature for the position of tackle, he plays his part well. In his two years at Ursinus the varsity team has learned to appreciate his merit and to welcome him into the fray. Joll’s place on the line will be a help next year. MY BOY MINK Gordon Mink played as a back in many a game in a way of which he might well be proud. He is speedy, a good runner, and an expert at knocking down forwards. Mink is a Junior and has an excellent chance of showing his wares to greater advantage in the succeeding year. JACK WILKINSON I his big. young fellow is a good guard. Although not a regular at first, he soon gained the position at right guard. Wilkinson is only a Sophomore and with two more playing years before him will perform many great things in that position.

The lure of the basket is. indeed, potent and few resist it. Many were the thrilling contests played on the Ursinus gym floor in the 1926-27 season; games exciting to the nth degree, and many times was the Red. Old Gold, and Black triumphant. Coach Kichline’s call to practice found the varsity cut in half by graduation: the only Senior on the team was Tom” Clark, its captain. A willingness to play and the personal ability of the men were soon to demonstrate that material was present to construct a winning team. The 1926-27 season was ushered in by a victory over the strong University of Pennsylvania. The Ursinus team had little pre-season training, but the brilliant effort they made gave them a clean-cut victory. Handicapped by the loss of Five exceptionally good men the outlook was not of the brightest, but the work of two men representing the class of 28, I loagcy and Biglcy. was responsible in a large measure for the success of the team. Defeats and victories were interspersed on the schedule, the Bears failing to play the steady, consistent game which is sure to bring success. The Swarthmore game proved to be a thriller. The contest was played in College-ville before one of the largest crowds that ever witnessed an Ursinus quintet play here. The game was hard fought, the Bears forging into the lead to win by a large margin. It was a victory of the best type, no one man seemed to stand out above the rest. Each player worked for the good of the team. Midyears followed and the Bears decided to have a longer vacation than necessary and lost five straight games.

The team failed to achieve the success of which it was capable because, unfortunately, the men did not play the steady, consistent, smooth functioning game in which all the parts work together for a uniform and victorious whole.

Kain, Ohl, Strine Two hundred four Review of the Season IN THE history of organized athletics at Ursinus College. the national game. baseball, has always held an honorable position. It is the oldest sport of the college. Ursinus nines were famous in collegiate ranks long before a football had appeared on the campus. The baseball records show that year after year Ursinus teams have consistently defeated worthy opponents. From the standpoint of victories baseball has easily been the most successful sport. Such names as Kelly. Price. Townsend. Paiste. and Johnson will remain forever as a tribute to Ursinus baseball glory. With this splendid background to spur them on to victory, the 1927 team opened practice. From the first it was evident that the lack of experienced pitching would depreciate the chances for anything more than a mediocre season. Many candidates responded for practice. Each position was hotly contested, with the veterans usually proving superior. The first six games resulted in defeat for the Bears. Only once did Ursinus win. The University of Delaware was defeated in a close contest at the close of the season. This record is one of the poorest ever made by an Ursinus nine. In only two games, however, was the final score more than twice as much as the Ursinus tallies. Perhaps the chief reason for the failure of the Bears to win was the fact that they were unable to play on Patterson Field Work had already begun on the new track and field, and the Collegeville High diamond was used. As the season progressed it was evident that the pitching department would hold its own. I he new men. Mink. Kain. and Karpinncn. rounder! into splendid shape and were soon pitching brand A ball. Errors and poor hitting now spelled ruin to the club. Despite the brilliant work of pitchers, the team was unable to tally enough runs to win. Kain turned in a two-hit performance against Swarthmorc. but lost the game on a home run. 4 to 3. F. M. made but six hits from Mink, but the Bears were defeated by a narrow margin. Karpinncn and Kain gave the Penn sluggers six hits, but were beaten by a home-run drive. In the last two games the Bears played the l est ball of the season. They held Penn to a tie until the seventh inning, when a home run spelled defeat for Ursinus. In the only home game of the season with Delaware the Bears fought an uphill fight, tying the score in the ninth and emerging victorious in the thirteenth. Hoagcy led in individual batting with a high average of .387. LaClair and Clark were the only other players who hatted in the three hundred class. I he season was finished with a game between the varsity and the Alumni. Jing” Johnson, famous A pitcher, twirled for the grads. Kain ended the game in the fourth inning with the Bears leading, three to two. Captain Jones and first baseman Clark played on the varsity as letter men for four years. Jok kmkmo.

The biggest handicap to their success was the lack of a suitable running ground. I his year the new track constructed according to Spalding specifications was completed. Now-track athletes will be given a chance to demonstrate their ability. Ample facilities for field events have also been installed so that proficiency in these ancient forms of athletics may be attained. Various Ursinus teams have competed in the relay carnival at the University of Pennsylvania. Each year the records arc improving, and it is not expected to be long before Ursinus teams will return the winner in many such events. Bill'” Bryant represented Ursinus in the two-mile run at Muhlenberg College and by a feat of magnificent running was able to win the race. The first annual Eastern Conference Intercollegiate Cross-Country Run was staged at Ursinus. October 31. 1927. In this initial track event of the conference F. and M. was the winner. The Ursinus harriers brought up a close second. The new coach of track. Ralph Veatch. succeeded in rounding into shape a team which was able to cause the other contestants the greatest uneasiness. The cross-country team composed of Keller. Cornelius. Hartman. Hirt, and Krapf finished second in team honors. After the meet a handsome loving cup was presented to the captain of the F. and M. team. This cup is to revolve among the winners of the annual meet. Thus track has opened conspicuously and great things in this department of sport are inevitable.

Each year brings forth an increasingly large number of aspiring Tildens. During the 1927 season the team was captained by Morton Oppcnhcimer. His work as captain and player was of the best. The squad consisted of the following men: Huston Spangler, LeFever. Ergood. Walter Spangler. Williams. I omlinson. 1 loagcy. Evanson. and Reimert. The netmen came through with flying colors. In eleven matches they won seven, tied one, and lost three. The first three matches were cancelled on account of rain. The first game. Osteopathy, was a victory for Ursinus. In this game LeFever playing his first game for Ursinus scored a victory. The doubles combination. LeFever and Ergood, and Oppcnhcimer and W. Spangler, proved too much for their medical opponents. The next match with the strong Moravian team was a tic. Here LeFever again displayed his prowess by defeating an experienced foe. Hoagcy played his first varsity game with the netmen. F. M. gave the Bears their first defeat of the season. Five straight victories and one defeat were then recorded by the team. St. Joseph's. Lebanon Valley, Delaware. Drcxcl. and P. M. C. succumbed to the expert shooting of the varsity racquet wielders. Moravian avenged their previous defeat by Ursinus in a close contest on the Ursinus courts. LeFever made the Ursinus scores. He and Evanson also succeeded in winning the doubles. The season was finished in great style by a victory over Temple on the city-line courts. LeFever won the singles match, making it ten victories without a defeat in that capacity throughout the season. Evanson playing in the fourth singles came through in fine form to win two straight sets. LeFever and Ergood as first doubles, and W. Spangler and Williams as second, scored the two winning points. This season no doubt established more firmly than ever the strength of the net game as one of the leading sports on the campus. Too much credit cannot be given to the captain. Morton J.

With health and good sportsmanship the aims, new standards have been set. “that sport for its own sake, and play for pure enjoyment may serve to refresh the mind, invigorate the body, re-create the soul, and keep the entire nature at its best.” In September. 1916. for the first time, provision was made for athletics and physical training for the women students. Recognizing the need for some systematic and organized form of athletics which would offer opportunity for the training of the girls, the Ursinus Woman’s Club procured a physical director. Until 1919. athletics consisted chiefly of interclass games in basketball, indoor baseball, and hockey. One season of intercollegiate tennis was the result of the annual tennis tournament of the spring. An athletic association was formed in the fall of 1919 and athletics took on a more definite form. Managers for hockey, tennis, and basketball were elected and intercollegiate games scheduled. Among the colleges that Ursinus has met are Pennsylvania. Temple. Swarthmore. Beaver. Cedar Crest. Drexcl. and Rosemont. Besides the intercollegiate games, interclass contests now play a large part in the realm of sports. Each year the Freshman-Sophomore hockey and basketball games are looked forward to with the most eager anticipation of victory on the part of both teams. Tennis, swimming, and hiking arc the minor sports in which the girls are interested. It is the intention of the Women's Athletic Association to revive the tennis tournament which at one time held an important place in the athletic contests at Ursinus. The organization of athletics and the facilities at hand at the present time offer ample opportunity for each girl to take up the sport in which she is interested. Miv Krrkti. C � uh Two hundred sixteen The Women s Athletic Association President Vice-President Secretary . Treasurer Sarah Hopper Dorothy Seit Mabel Fritsch Evelyn Lake ' | ’HE Women’s Athletic Association was formed in 1919 to meet the existing need for a systematic and better organized form of athletics for the women students. As a result, athletics arc now on a definite basis. Managers and assistant managers for hockey and basketball arc elected and intercollegiate games scheduled. The object of this association is to promote interest in the athletic activities of the women students and to perform such functions as may be delegated to it by the Athletic Council of the association. All members of the hockey and basketball teams who have played in a certain number of games receive a U.” To arouse a still greater interest a “Sportsmanship U” is awarded to any woman student who by faithful attendance, good spirit, and enthusiasm for each seasonal activity, has shown an effort to live up to the ideals of good sportsmanship. An H C” is presented by the hiking club to any girl who hikes one hundred miles during a college year. All women students arc members of this association and it is the means by which they become acquainted with the college sports.

Evelyn Lake, Geraldine Ohl. Viola Sweigart Two hundred eighteen Review of the Season Sally Hormu. Cofilain c •OACH ERREI PS hockeyites of the 1927 season put away their sticks after the stiff battle with Bryn Mawr on November 21st. Of the seven intercollegiate encounters, the team won two. tied two. and lost three; chalking up twenty-seven goals against its rivals’ thirty-three. The season opened with a decisive victory. 9-2. over Beaver. At Swarthmore the 'U” team played a defensive game and humbly bowed before the Garnet Maids” by a score. 10-1. Roscmont. a new rival, was taxed to the utmost before the score was tied. 3-5. In the return game with Beaver the opponents showed they were out for revenge, and only after a hard struggle was Ursinus able to leave the field victorious. An erratic first half spelled defeat for Cap tain I loffer’s team, when it played Glassboro Normal in the last home game. In the second half the U ’ backfield played a fine game which kept the visitors from scoring, but the forwards lacked the necessary punch to get the ball across, and the Jersey lassies walked off the green with a 6-2 victory. Cedar ( rest, the next adversary, was given a scare in the first half, but rallied to stave off defeat by knotting the score. 4-4. The last game of the season was of great interest, as it marked the initial step toward friendly athletic intercourse with Bryn Mawr College. Although the score was 4-2 in favor of the new rival, it indicates that the Ursinus team made a fine showing against its stronger team. I his game concluded notable hockey careers for Captain 1 loffer. I rudy Rothenbergcr. and “Allie” Fetters. RECORD Oct. 21 U. O.

Mildred Alderfcr, Evelyn Cook Two hundred twenty Review of Women s Basketball Season THE echo from the clash of hockey sticks had hardly faded when it was replaced with the sound of the tap-off. inaugura ing the basketball season. I he winter game was supported by a surprisingly large number who faithfully attended practice and offered keen competition for the varsity squad. The season began in a roseate style with a decisive victory. 27-11. over Philadelphia Normal. Splendid teamwork was displayed in the swift, accurate passing, and time and time again the Ursinus forwards spun the ball through the cords. Beaver College offered the first reverse of the season by a 22-1 3 tabulation. I he next two games were played on foreign courts, and resulted in ties with Drexel and Roscmont. A trip to New Jersey proved disastrous to the Sinus sextet who were forced to bow before the court luminaries of Trenton Normal. 36-12. I his game was followed by a lucky change in tactics leading to five consecutive victories for the Ursinus team. The rivals who fell before the onslaughts of Coach Errett’s squad were Cedar Crest, Beaver. Schuylkill (two games), and Drexel. The Beaver contest was the fastest and most thrilling court scene of the season. In the game with Temple the Sinus sextet offered unexpected resistance, but lost. 32-23. With the final game, a victory over Cedar Crest, the curtain was rung down with unbounded joy upon the success of the season. Captain “Mickey' Johnson and Bernice Leo will be lost by graduation. I hey have had enviable records in athletics during their four years at Ursinus. M Frum ii, .UamiKfr THE RECORD U. 0.

IE minor sports which prove of interest to the girls at Ursinus are tennis, swimming, and hockey. Tennis has long been a favorite sport with the girls, but this past year, due to the limited facilities, the net game had little chance to prove exciting. In the early fall six courts were completed and the Athletic Association sponsored a tennis tournament. Old Jupiter Pulvius desired to reign supreme and the sets could not be completed. It is evident that the future holds many pleasures in store for the fairer sex who delight in a game of ball across the nets. Swimming was definitely organized by the college authorities in 1925. The followers of the aquatic art spend many enjoyable hours in the Pcrkiomen improving their skill and instructing others. For those who do not care for the more strenuous sports, hiking offers splendid recreation. The hikes along the Pcrkiomen and to nearby groves are very delightful. A hiking club is organized and an H C” is awarded to those girls who have attained the essential requirements. Two hundred twenty-two Laughs from the U Shows A. Lackman and C.
