In that early day it had an unpretentious beginning. From then until now, it has been in continuous session, and each year has brought a substantial growth over the preceding one. The first president was A. W. Mall, now of Louisville, an active, virile man who organized the Southern Normal School at the same time. The school was recently honored by a visit from Mr. Mell, who gave an address at the assembly hour. The real founder of the Business University as a distinct, independent organization was Dr. H. H. Cherry, now president of the Western Kentucky Teachers Col- lege, wl1o is one of the outstanding college presidents and school builders of America. ' In 1907, lVIessrs. J. S. Dickey, W. S. Ashby, and J. L. Harman became the owners of the Business University. Mr. Dickey was president of the school until his death, January 16, 1921. J. Murray Hill took over Mr. Dickey's interest and the new organization became L. Harman, presidentg Murray Hill, vice-president, and W. S. Ashby, business manager. In 1922, the College of Commerce was established and immediately it was recognized by the Ken- tucky State University. In 1926, the College Department was accredited as a four-year college. This is an unprecedented recognition in the business college field. The college status of the school has in no way affected the standard commercial course. The institution had its first work in one room and there was one teacher. It now owns and occupies an imposing building with thirty-five thousand square feet of Hoor space used exclusively by the school. It has an assembly hall with a seating capacity of nearly one thousand. The staff of the school numbers about fifty people. It enjoys the faithful, whole-hearted service of a faculty of ex- perts whose interests are in the student body, whose contacts with the individual student are democratic, friendly, and inspiring. Its enrollment comes from about thirty states and several foreign countries. Its graduates are now every- where and in great numbers. Some of them are the most conspicuous business men in America. Its enrollment numbers about thirteen hundred per annum. That eighty-seven percent of this number comes through the influence of former students is silent but convincing evidence of the popularity of the institution. In the Bowling Green Business University there is an unusual combination of the practical and the cultural. There is here a business and educational atmosphere in harmony with the modern spirit of business and education.

Falling! In a burning airplane! Oh, there is no chance now! Into the air I leaped, but my parachute failed to open and I gasped, for I was sure it would be the last of me. Down! Down! Then I struck such a soft place-now I am leav- ing daylight. In utter darkness I seem, though I feel all right. A most peculiar feel- ing has come over me and I am lost in a dream. My memory takes me back to the days that I attended the Business University, in the year '28, How happy I was then-ah, how happy. I dreamed that I had been appointed to do some research work for the College of Commerce. The nature of the work consisted in interpreting and assisting the seniors in selecting a vocation that they were especially interested in, and one in which they could do the most good for the nation. After a very long conference with each senior, I became so puzzled that I felt as if I were working out a cross-word puzzle. Yes, indecision was the vital cause of it all. Each said, I do not really know what field of work I should follow. Basing my opinion upon reports and investigations, I immediately set out to inform these seniors that they were men and women of splendid natural ability and good education, and should amount to something-be leaders of the democracy. I advised them to get down off the fence and decide what course in life they would take. Listen! There is only one way to deal with your problem. First, investigate the profession very carefully that you think you would like to succeed in-go over the pros and cons, all the evidence on both sides, for and against the real success that it will afford you if you pursue it. Bring all the wisdom and all the powers of discrimination that you possess to bear upon the profession, and make your decision without fear or hesitation. Once made, let it be final. My! The blood seems as if it will burst out of my ears. Behold! I see strange people walking in the air. Can it be possible? We surely have struck something like a ball, for when we hit it, we bounded. Again I am dreaming about the days at the B. U. This time the school appears diderent to me, for there stands the Dickey-Harmon-Hill-Ashby Auditorium on the corner of Twelfth and College Streets. I find myself among a crowd entering the building. I wonder what I am doing here. I see familiar faces, though I cannot recall them now. Now in the corridor I notice an announcement of the Business University Day Program. To my surprise I notice that james Ashby is now president of my Alma Mater. I followed the crowd on into the auditorium. I have traveled a good deal and visited quite a number of college audi- toriums, and in my opinion this is one of the finest I have ever seen. The audience is now singing, Alma Mater. This surely does make me feel happy. Mr. Ashby is now making the announcements concerning the program for the day. A delightful time is assured us, and Miss Muriel Clay, now withlthe Metropolitan Opera Company, rendered a violin solo. The presi- dent's address, on The Progress of the Business University Since 1928, was delivered. Parker Liles, United States Commissioner of Education, next on the program, compared briefly the Schools of Yesterday vs. the Schools of Today. The meeting adjourned at the conclusion of this address, and members of the Senior Class of '28 flew by airplane to Louisville to the Brown Hotel for luncheon. At 8:00 p.m., the members of the '28 Class assembled at a banquet at Beech Bend. Mrs. Louise Bailey, president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, served as a very delightful toastmistress. During the repast, the following toasts were given: Mrs. Lucile Harmon Williams, literary editor of the Nashville Banner, represented the freshmen of the Class of '28, and Miss Elizabeth Lary, teacher of expression in the King's School of Oratory, gave a toast to the College of Commerce. The faculty of the B. U. were given a toast by Curtis Burgess, director of Debates, Cornell University. Mrs. Lois Roach, first woman governor of Kentucky, reviewed briefly the Days Spent at My Alma Mater. Malcolm W. Clower, ambassador to Mexico, de- livered a toast to the Founders of the B. U. I,Vbeing the forecaster of '28 Class, was called on to read the prophecy which had been brought about during these years that rolled by for this class. My prophecy in part started like this: I Students of the B. U., give a rouse For the College of Bowling Green! Page thzrty THE TOWERS I9Z8 C: lit ,I 1 A' 72 Q.

Gathered around this banquet tonight we have only one missing of our flock. That is B. M. Craig, Chief Executive of the U. S. A. Some pressing duties of great importance required his presence at the White House. I recently read that Mattie Powell, in the wonderful variety of her verse, suggests all the qualities of America's greatest poetess. When I studied American Literature at the B. U., I did not realize that we had among us a writer of nature,-but Pearl Rogers has become noted for her Nature Writings. We have present tonight the delegates to the International Educational Conference, Mort Hoerth, Eunice Mounts, and Rebecca Neely, and the organizers of the first bank in the state to be conducted exclusively for women, Georgia Smith and Dixie Brown. Oren Lewis is general manager of the biggest lumber company in the world, located in the Northwest. Maurine Link and Anna B. Berry are beauty specialists in Louisville. There is among us one doctor-Doctor of Philosophy-Katie Marie Hickman, now superintendent of Memphis City Schools. Mary Eddy has become court reporter. The Capitol Dancing School, located in Washington, is run by Virginia Siddens, Ruth Hood, and Ella Holley. Those that are making hits on Broadway are Mary Elizabeth Ford and Roberta Morris. Mrs. Lillian Almond, Ezra Heyler, and Mrs. Evans are serving on the faculty of Bryant and Stratton, Rhode Island Commercial School.

The class represents the following courses: Two- and Four-Year Teacher Training courses, Two- and Four-Year Higher Accounting courses. The component parts are thirty-eight young men and forty young women, rang- ing frc-m average to ultra in ability. Thirty-eight handsome, valiant, and chivalrousg forty parts demure, charming, and beautiful. Seventy-six are citizens of the United States and two of Canada. Cf the seventy-eight members of the class, thirty-eight hail from Kentucky, twelve from Tennessee, six from Mississippi, six from West Virginia, one from North Dakota, one from Missouri, two from North Carolina, one from Louisiana, two from Penn- sylvania, one from Arkansas, one from Virginia, and two from New Brunswick, Canada. From its combined height of approximately six hundred feet, it can see into the forty-fifth story of the Woolwc-rth Building in New York. It can see into the most complex problems of the business world. It can see into the solution of all the problems of the social, economical, and industrial world. Yea, from such an elevatio-n, what can this class not see into! If laid lengthwise it would span the Mississippi River at its aver- age width, but in reality its breadth cannot be measured in terms of material things, but only in terms of breadth of soul, height of spirit, and integrity of character. Its com- bined weight is approximately fifteen thousand pounds, weight enough to anchor its feet to prosaic work even though its head is in the clouds. Its combined circumfer- ence is approximately three thousand six hundred inches. Imagine the sensation it would create to go into a store and call for a belt size three thousand six hundred! What a furor is to follow this class when it goes out into the world! Its combined brains would Hll approximately four hundred tumblers. Is it any wo-nder that this class can discern no impossibilities through its hundred fifty-six eyes? Its combined years are approximately two thousand five hundred years, which is no mean age, even com- pared to the age of Methuselah. Consider the wisdc-m of a class that has lived two thousand five hundred years! Empires have risen and fallen, wars have been declared and won, fads have swept the earth and passed into oblivion since its eyes first saw the light of day. With what an accumulation of experience and wisdom will this class go forth into the world! The historian will have space to mention only a few of the high spots in the history of this remarkable class. It may be inferred that the two-year class had its inception in September, I926. At that time IVIartha Powell, B. M. Craig, and a few others were assembled in the reception room, and Mr. Craig asked Miss Powell what course she was going to matriculate in, and she said she was going to choose the Teacher Train- ing Co-urse, upon which event Mr. Craig changed his course from the Higher Account- ing to the Teacher Training Course. In the same month, when Mr. Watkins was vexing his mind over what course to take, Mr. Ashby told him that the Teacher Training Course was a popular one with the girls, whereupon Mr. Watkins immediately chose the Higher Accounting Course. The A.B. Class had its inception four years ago, Miss Knauth, who had just enrolled, having forgotten her glasses, re-entered the dean's ofhce. Mr. E. P. Jones, who had enrolled in the Higher Accounting Course, on seeing Miss Knauth, inquired Page forty-three X THE TOWERS 1928 'W 'T' TI-IE TOWERS 1928 'i C: wifi- -re lg 'I hi ng UL A --ii 9 - -' - - s - I 5.

I 0 ' i J' ' 'I what classes she was taking, and immediately changed his classification. Henry came to us from the University of West Virginia with his A.B. already captured. Mr. Liles and Mr. Montgomery also had their degrees from Western before enrolling with us. Worth Wiley fought out a B.S. at Bryson, and then immediately decided to enter a better school. Walter Hooker simultaneously completes his A.B. on the Hill and in B. U. this summer. One of the especially notable events was the courtship and love of Mr. Williams and Miss Lucille Harman, Which culminated in their marriage during the last year of the class existence. Another notable event was the courtship, lo-ve and marriage of Mr. W. C. Rowlet and Miss Clinton. In the last days of the class it was handicapped by an avalanche of Woes occasioned by the courtship of Jimmie Chambliss and Roberta Morris, and also the courtship of Mr. Byron Craig, Barnie Barnes, Raymond Holley, and Parker Liles with various girls of the institution. Also in the last year, Mr. Liles, Mr. Rhorbough, and Mr. Craig were chosen for their brawn and agility on the basketball team, and brought glory upon the class by helping to defeat- many teams of neighboring schools. Miss Clay and Mr. Austin achieved greatness in music by helping to render some of the most enjoyable chapel programs the Business University ever had. The classes have greatly made up the membership of the various clubs of the Business University, and have taken part in all the club activities. Its members took part in the Tri-State banquet, the Kentucky banquet, the Tennessee banquet, and the Mississippi banquet. They also composed to a great extent the members of parties going to Mammoth Cave, Lookout Mountain, and various points of similar interest. On the fourth of October, 1927, each of the classes met, organized, and elected a president, secretary, and treasurer. Since this organization each class has reached the twin heights of culmination and glorificatio-n which brings this survey up to the present moment. In conclusion such remarkable classes justify a glance along the horizon of the future. Soon the class will be dissolved as such, memory of these activities will begin to fade, and the component members of the classes will begin to launch their cam- paigns in the masts of a commercial World which require the genius of a Demosthenes or an Agazzi. But the combined general average of the classes is A plus, and where the component parts of such precocity will come to rest only its prophetess and time can tell. I T. E. FITZHUGH.

T414 Kentucky Klub T IS said that the Kentucky Klub was created by a group of B. U. students en- deavoring to devise some way in which the Kentucky students could keep the spirit of friendliness and hearty co-operation ever foremost in their lives. This was in the autumn of '23, the time of the year when the hearts of all are jocund, and the originator of the club realized the worth of the inspiration derived from glad associations. It was in the spirit of helpfulness that the Kentucky Klub begang it is the same spirit that has carried it through another successful year. The objects of the club are: The establishment and maintenance of certain high standards of club life, conduct, and general scholarship among the studentsg the develop- ment of a keener sense of service to our fellow-students, especially those living in Kentuckyg to assume obligation, as a club, for the encouragement and help of all membersg and to develop, through contact and service, a closer relation with each other and the school. The Kentucky Klub has been very successful this year. The Prettiest Girl in the Business University was our own vice-president, Miss Lela Cline. She was elected by popular vote while the entire school was enjoying the annual chestnut hunt. The Kentucky Spelling Team won first place in the spelling contest. This is the first time that the trophy has ever been won by Kentuckians, although in former years the club team has been runner-up. Kentucky's team won every match in its entire league schedule, defeating Tri- State in the Hnals by a very narrow margin. One of our members, Miss Mattie Powell, won second place in the spelling contest for individual honors. The Kentucky Klub banquet was one of the outstanding features of the club year. A Saint Patrick's Day plan was carried out at this banquet, the decorations and program being in harmony. Mr. Cuthbertson, a local banker, in the address of the evening, traced the history of the state from its origin and discussed the inliuence that the Irish have exerted upon Kentucky. The program was full of fun, and those attending spent the time in such a way that the banquet of '28 will be remembered. When the Kentuckians decided to sponsor a program given by the Apollo Seven Glee Club, they made a success of it. In every activity that same co-operative spirit of the Kentuckians was portrayed. Those who led this club through the past year can look back on their work with satisfaction, for it was well done. The club owes much to Mr. Matthews, our sponsor, Edwin Smith and james Ashby, our two presidents, who so ably performed their duties. To the future Kentucky Klubs in the Bowling Green Business University let us offer this Kreed as it was given to us, with the same note of cheer and wishes for success: The Ideal of our Klub is Demorracy. The Aim of our Klub is Serfvice. The Honor of our Klub is Sportsmanship. The Spirit of our Klub is, 'Kentucky lVins'. WALTON HARTFORD. Page sixty A' TI-IE TOWERD 1928 ' Inv- - - Y f-12-.

However, merely being a Mississippian is not the only requirement for admission to this club, for to be eligible, each studentis work must be of high calibre, inasmuch as his name must meet the approval of the faculty before it is submitted to the club for voting. The membership is also placed before the faculty from time to time to insure a continuance of good work. This organization came into existence four years ago. Its purpose was purely social, being organized for the purpose of promoting good fellowship among fellow Mississippians. But since that time the object of the club has been changed somewhat, so that it now has for its ultimate goal the establishment and maintenance of a Mississippi Student Loan Fund for the purpose of helping any Mississippi student who might be in temporary need of financial aid. The foundations of this Loan Fund were laid with the profits derived from a Redpath Lyceum number sponsored by the Mississippi Club of 1927. This initial fund has increased from time to time, and even at this ear'y date the club has had the pleasure and satisfaction of knowing that they have materially benefited a number of their fellow Mississippians with this fund. Another object of the club has been realized in the ap- pointment of a secret committee whose sole duty is to see to the welfare of the Mississippi students in their outside activities. This is called the Student Aid Committee. VVhile the serious side of the club has been mentioned, the social side of it must not be overlooked. The club meets twice a month and the members enjoy most entertain- ing programs put on by their fellow members, and sometimes by local entertainers. In addition to the regular meetings, the club has an annual banquet, a fascinating treasure hunt, and to the delight of every Mississippian, an annual watermelon cutting. The social committee is vested with authority to plan and put on numerous other social functions from time to time. In the above paragraphs we have done our best to bring before you the activities of one of the most successful clubs in the Business University, and we will close with A Toast to Mississippi My toast is lo Mississippi, De place fwlzar Ah was borng Doswn on de Mississippi Ribber, 'Mid de cotton an' de cafwn.

Owing to the limited number of students from these states the club could not conduct activities on a large scale. At the first meeting officers were elected and a definite organiza- tion vvas perfected. Several rook parties were held during the season and a fine spirit of fellowship has been enjoyed by each member of the club. Page sixtylsix 11' TI-IE TOWERS 1928 1 !Q .

Its aim is to foster good fellowship among its members and to uphold the high ideals of the school. Tri-State started the club activities for the year by giving a Weiner roast-marshmallow toast at Lost River. The club took a very active part in the annual chestnut hunt held by the school. It was unable to retain the Spelling Cup this year, losing to Kentucky in a thrilling contest. At Christmas the club chartered a special car in which to go home for the holidays. Various mem- bers have taken an active part in the chapel programs during the year. The annual banquet held at the Masonic Temple was a big success. To inaugurate spring activities the club gave a picnic dance at Beech Bend which left the other clubs anxious to follow in its footsteps. A very active part was taken by the members in the Big Four-Coreco debate. The Tri-State Club is standing ready to extend the hand of welcome to the new students from Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia who will come in during the summer and fall, and invites them to join in the many social activities planned by the club from time to time.

' , lnm The Pentagon Club The Pentagon Club was organized in October, 1925, by W. H. Wulfeck, the local Y. M. C. A. director at that time, for the purpose of developing the members spiritually, mentally, socially, physically, and economically. Twenty-five young men selected upon their good reputation by the club and passed upon by the Business University faculty, compose the membership of the club. This club is looked upon in the Business University as the best organization in the institution because of its enviable reputation, high scholarship, and the unquestionable character of all its members. It sets a high standard among the students by'promoting good fellowship and loyalty in everything it undertakes. Only through strict rules governing the admission of new members could the organization maintain its present high standards. During the year from time to time old members are called away to positions and new members elected, there- fore, it is impossible to obtain a complete picture of all members for the year. It is a custom of the club to hold weekly luncheons at the Y, where interesting, as well as constructive programs are rendered. In addition to this the club members and their friends enjoy many other social activities. The club strives at all times to create and maintain high standards of Christian living among the members and in this way set an example which may be radiated upon the lives of others. It is also an aim of the club to support athletics and to -co-operate with the Business Univer- sity in every possible way. This, the most progressive year in the history of the club, has been led by Pfannmueller, secretary of the local Y., V. J. Gillespie, sponsor, B. M. Craig, president, Earl Evans, Ir., vice-president, Claude McCoy, secretary-treasurer. It is the sincere wish of the present members, that the Pentagon Club will continue its exist- ence, and maintain the same high standards as long as there is a Bowling Green Business University.

The club emphasizes scholarship and fair play among its members. To two of its members have gone the highest awards given in the Typing De- partment this year. VVilliam Littlejohn won the typewriter given for the best typist in school, and Marlin Connely won 'second place. The club has sponsored several outings this year of various kinds, but the social function which all Tennesseans look forward to with much anticipation was given February 21, in the form of a banquet. This was enjoyed by practically all the members and their friends. As we are nearing the close of the year We look back over the past with pleas- ure in what we have accomplished, and with a feeling of regret for what we did not do, that we might have done, and wish for the future Tennessee Club every success.

At that hour in the morning the lure of the trip had faded, but we thought that we would Hmake the best of it. We were a wide-awake, exceedingly hungry, howling group of happy tourists when we reached Nashville and swooped down upon the restaurants, demanding and devouring food and more food. We were a much amazed, somewhat overawed, and thoroughly im- pressed mob of sight-seers when we swarmed into the Reed Hotel and were assigned to luxurious rooms usually reserved for paying guestsl' whose bank accounts were in no wise kin to our own, And between the drowsy leave-taking from Bowling Green and the noisy arrival in Chattanooga there lay one full day of fun and good fellowship. The trip to Chattanooga was an epoch-making one, for it welded into one spirit the contacts of men and women from twenty or more different states. From Canada, and from Northern, VVestern, and New England states teachers caught a glimpse of the Southland, and felt within themselves a new understanding of the problems common to peoples every- where. Here for all of us the past and the present met and a keener appreciation of the historic values was the outcome. Looking out on the rugged mountains surrounding the city, with their wooded slopes and their concrete highways, it was hard to believe that once upon a time and not so many years ago, 1oo,ooo men made them hideous with the havoc of war. Lookout Mountain, Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge-what pictures of the past the names themselves bring before one. Driving along the quiet roads on top of Mission- ary Ridge, or stopping to read the tablets dotting lawns and hillsides, it is difficult to imagine all that peace and beauty turned into the fury and hell of the battle when Thomas stormed the Ridge in an hour, though at the price of a crimson hilside. There is a thrill to going over the top of Lookout Mountain via the incline which you cannot easily forget. You catch your breath, try to look unconcerned, and succeed only in looking pathetic. There are moments when love of country and reverence for the heroic deeds of the past sweep you with a startling emotional abandon when you drive through the battlefields of Chickamauga. But the most sublime moment of all comes when you stand, bareheaded, filled with awe and wonder, on the top of Signal,.Mountain, and watch the river crawling along hundreds of feet below. Far in the distance, Lookout Mountain is shrouded in a purple mist, to the left, the huge factories of Chattanooga belch smoke and build a greater industrial city. Up on the top of Signal Mountain, you catch a new vision of the world, your heart reaches out and touches the heart of God. Only the un- buried dead could stand there and be unmoved. D. D.

CENTER T. R. JONES MORT HOER1'H JAMES FLOWERS H. R. MATTHEWS, Sponsor MRS. EVANS, Coach The Third Annual Spelling Contest opened this year on October 22 with Kentucky handing Tennessee a decisive defeat, 23-9. It was evident from the very start that Kentucky had a strong and well balanced team. Soon, however, Tri-State, after much training, put a team on the Hoot that struck terror into the hearts of the Kentuckians. VVhen the smoke of the battle had cleared away on the morning of November 23, Kentucky was in possession of the Williams- Moore Trophy without having tasted defeat. Mr. Varda Smith, a Mississippian, copped the individual honors, thereby winning the Spe- cial Penmanship scholarship offered by the institution. Five Kentuckians, two Mississippians, three Tri-Staters, and one Tennessean qualified for the individual contest. The total scores for each team during all of the twelve games are: Kentucky, 80g Tri-State, 635 Mississippi, 42, and Tennessee, 41. - Page eighty TI-IE TOWERS 1928 ii ' nga 0 ' ui ,wx fd mu - JXJ- ' nn ' . .1 . ... 11 Q -l ' lu Xa- f - 1 - - .' wi W' G' Fvfjmiuis 'L - .-'IW' uf-'-,-f -' 'f:3 e593Y 4 A Nu-KJ 'f X ss x-P .'0w -x ' 11' I 1.3: '57, 'u '0'!.r J-L-' 2 26.1241-s '-' ' - is ' ' Ybain. . s X JC ' , -u r.- IOHN ROBERT GREGG Author of Gregg Shorthand The Bowling Green Business Univeltity uses the Gregg System.

Even nature begins to be more serious. But not yet! The gafety of an autumn swirl is unsurpassed. Old Jack Frost is eager to be at work again and even though we dread his herald call, we cannot but be eagerly expectant. Let me tell you why. In chapel we listened to an announcement that sounded like a fairy tale. A come-true fairy tale! There are always spells in fairy tales to be broken before something comes true, and so it was with this one. The charm to break this spell was to be the first good frost. Our wha'e school is to go hunting. There is untold mag'c in that word. Of the many ways of hunting- but we are going Chestnut Hunting! Our faculty forewarned us to carelessly indulge, leaving every class room care at home, and let smiles and bubbling spirits reign supreme. Personally, I happen to know that for once their instructions were adhered to and wonderfully carried out. Long before the big trucks were to be loaded, streams of youngsters, loaded down with bulky boxes and bags, cameras and Elms, came running and rushing joyously. Am I to be forg'ven for calling business students f'youngsters ? I think I am. The events of that perfect autumn day passed by as the changes in a dream. As the huge smiling face of the sun peeped over the rim of a new day, he veritably winked at us as he sent the stinging chiil of sly 'lack Frost scampering. How happi'y executed was the call to trucks, with vain shrieks and pushes, meaningless taunts following each one as it muvcd away, unusually loaded. The ride was the mere beginning of that day. The morning grew warmer as the sun b:came more interested. VVraps were soon discarded in the merry, eager hunt for chcstnuts. Hull Gull was the cause of much exchange and happy laughter. Each bunch soon grevl thirsty and oh, what a scramble for water. Straight over the face of a precipitous thickly wooded bluff, led forward by a narrow, much twisted path. But oh, the taste of that cool dripping water! Soon fires started. The bulky, mysterious packages were sorted and carried away. The whole chestnut grove was invaded by searchers for the ideal place to spread a picnic lunch. A lull in the no'ses told its own story of that hour. The afternoon was spent with races, tests of skill, and games that were gladly entered into. The toe-sack races, the pie-eating contest, the horse-shoe pitching, the baseball game, the sprints for girls and boys-oh, help! I'm out of breath. We all were out of breath from real exercise when the Event was announced. The prettiest girls in the school were rapi'lly nominated, and took their places in the center of a lfve horseshoe of the cheering, debating audience-a'i us iuclges. After much parading and much more noise as each favorite passed, one more beautiful than any was finally chosen and crowned Queen of Beauty. The ride home was just as joyous. A full halt for an inspection of the Old Mill with more cool, refreshing draughts of water, was in itself an event. After climbing in and out and over the tempting rocks and cascades of water, the trucks were reloaded. Snatches of snappy songs brought faces to door-ways as th's untiring crowd regretfully rode home. Tired, but happy hearts, with fiying words and luminous eyes, told different adventures, to less fortunate friends at home. KATIE MARIE HICKMAN.

To steal yourself from sleep at sunrise on a summer day-to scurry down to the landing with a laughing B. U. crowd before the world of work can ever overtake you-to glide gaily out on Barren's quiet waters, cool and deep, in and out again between those rocky cliffs hung beautiful and green with all the fragrant shadows of a southern clime, reverberant now with all the songs of birds, then very still with that patient peace which loves to dwell in those unspoiled places of our God's great world-that is the early morning's promise of a perfect day -a day of rest and recreation, of love and friendship, if you choose, of relaxation and delight, of song and dancing, feasting Qdon't refusej and then the Mammoth Cave at night. Wlebster never saw it and all the words he gathered scarce reveal just how the caverns look nor how the lookers feel. Expectant, doubting, bewildered, then amazed, then overawed, startled, shocked, then frightened twice to death by a cave-man's rocket thrown through the devil's kitchen window, revived, bewitched by goblins, hypnotized, stolen away in the dark, saved by an angel in disguise fthe guide perhapsj, stricken with a consciousness of some great sin, forgiven of it, lost in the lemon-squeezerf' found by a gallant knight, soothed, inspired, enchanted, spell-bound, exalted, then abased, wearied of soul, bedraggled footsore, bumped and skinned and bruised, you dotf your cave-man suft, bandana, and your shoes and, like a child, I say, that turns reluctant from a world of play, you sleep-a child's sweet sleep. 'fProvided that the loving has all been finished down in the devil's dungeonj. But the half has not been told. Neither Mr. Harman, nor Mr. Hill, in his most exalted and most extravagant moments has ever more than but vaguely suggested the illimitable, inimitable grandeur and magnificence of Mammoth Cave. Then there are the splendors of Onyx Cave to see, another chicken dinner, and after that, the swift ride home. I shall never quite lose the thrill of that fine Sabbath morning when we gathered early out beneath those stately trees and bared our heads to sing a hymn and to hear the Psalmist say: The Heafvens declare the glory of Godf and the jirmament shofweth his handifworla. Day unto clay utterefh speech, and night unto night .vhofweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language rwhere their fvoice is not heard- and then to bow in prayer and in that spirit of communion to go down to Onyx Cave, God's own cathedral, carved through the countless ages by His hand, there to behold Him in the Holy of Holies of His sanctuary, the Creator at His work. There's a place for worshfp! There, in all the beauty of holiness, one may read, in all those beautiful rock-written words, the honor and the glory of His name. Finally, there's the ride through the woods and bluegrass, back to Bowling Green, back to your work-but you won't be really back for many days. Perhaps it is only a remnant of primeval man, a bit of the spirit of the cave-man in our hearts whfch lingers there, but something lingers, something calls us back, and those who have gone, go again, and again to MAMMOTH CAVE.

Although he used more resin on his pants than on his shoes, yet he could produce the goods when the occasion demanded. joe has a wonderful personality, and in this respect he is the type of Bear we all strive to be. His sparkling wit always kept the fellows in good cheer. Earl Everly, stellar guard from West Virginia, was the mainstay of our defense. Earl was right there every minute, and to him much credit is due. He would always slip up to center and sink a nice long one, then he was content to stay back the rest of the game to annoy opposing basketeers. His consistency and earnest efforts, coupled with real ability, made him one of our strongest men. Parker Liles, versatile center and forward, formerly of VVestern Teachers College, was the most valuable utility man of the season. Lifes could always be depended on and this, combined with his great fighting spirit and passing ability, caused him to win a place among the first Seven. His personality, inliuence, and loyalty to the team established him in the hearts of his team mates. Byron Craig, clever guard and formerly of Bowling Green High, won his place in the first seven. Craig was a very consistent player and contributed much to the Bears' success this season. He has a character unexcelled, and a personality that made him one of the most popular men on the team. His cackling laugh and general good humor always produced a pleasant air among the fellows. David Hall Sledge, all-star forward and captain of his team, was easily the most consistent member of the squad. His lioor work and keen eye for the basket will long be remembered by B. U. fans. Sledge could always be counted on for his boosting words of instruction before every game, and his generalship during the fight. In sportsmanship he was unexcelled. Henry Rohrbough, all-round athlete from West Virginia, was the pivot of the Bear's de- fense. His wonderful work at the center position, together with his great fight on the defense, made him a great cog in the B. U. quintet. Also in many games he got his lucky eye in operation and split the draperies in a very creditable manner. Hen was an excellent passer and a big link in our offense. I. C. Combs, excellent forward from Hazard, Kentucky, played some wonderful ball this season. His distance shooting at opportune moments brought concerted applause from B. U. fans. Although Combs got started a little late, he contributed no small part to the success of the team. His sportsmanship and loyalty to the team make him a Bear of great renown.

' .v-- , U.-Q: ma ' fl- - J' f Review of the Season Coach Cranfill called basketball practice December 1, and Ending that he had some twenty- five aspirants from which to pick a team, started working earnestly to develop a winning team., Every member worked eagerly as they were anxious to make the squad. Practice sessions wer: held four nights in every week and on Monday morning. 'With Captain Sledge, the only letter man returning from the winning team of last year, prospects of a winning team were not so bright. ,But with a few days practice Coach found some good material from high schools and colleges. The prospects for a winning team were better. The boys played up to their possibilites in but few games, and with the injuries and boys leaving school, the team was left in a crippled condition. VVith ten days left before the first game with Bethel College the Bears settled down to hard work with the determination to win, and a creditable team was developed. The first game of the season was played with Bethel College of Russellville, Kentucky. The Bears played the Bethelites on even terms the first half, but the second half was all in favor of Bethel. Their passing was too much for the Bears. Sledge and Rawls played the stellar game for the Bears. The dope bucket was upset when the Berea highly touted basketball team fell before the slaughter of the Bears. VVith Rice leading the attack on the offense, Everly, Rohrbough, and Rawls working like demons on the defense, the Bears won by a close score. Cumberland College showed the best coached team, especially in passing, of the year, and was a thrill to the finish. Rice was injured in the second quarter which crippled our offense. VVith the outstanding work of Sledge and Rohrbough in the last quarter, the score was tied until the last minute of play. Horse Cave all stars were defeated by a score of 29-25, by the clever pass-work of Sledge, Combs and Rohrbough and the great defensive work of Rawls and Everly breaking up the Horse Cave passes. The Bears journeyed to Smith Grove and won a slow uninteresting game which was played in the Dark. Smith Grove was swamped on by the Bears in the return game to Bowling Green. Rice, Rohrhough and Sledge were the outstanding players in the game. The Bears lost to T. P. I. of Cookville, Tennessee, in a hard-fought game. The floor work of Sledge, Rohrbough, and Rawls could not cope with the great defensive and wonderful floor work of the visiting team. The final score was. 21-38. St. Mary's was taken into camp by a close score, with Sledge hitting the goal from all angles. The work of Rawls, Everly and Rohrbough was outstanding and the Bears could not be headed. The season was closed with a defeat by Horse Cave All Stars. The Hrst half was a thrill from the beginning. The fast pass work of both teams and spectacular shooting of Rice and Rohrbough kept the Bears in the lead. In the closing minutes Horse Cave won out over the tired Bears, due to the lack of training. The consistent work of the second team deserves special mention.

In this, he was assisted by the business manager, Mr. Gillespie, who was always ready to do anything that would aid the team and to get the support of the student body as well as the city.

T e Debates T VVAS once said that the reason the South has not produced more great writers is because it produces such wonderful orators. If this be true, the Bowling Green Business University is doing its share in exalting the debating season. May 7, 1928, will go down in the history of the school as the close of one of its most brilliant debating seasons. On Saturday preceding the debate, the two societies joined in a spectacular parade nearly a mile in length. Floats, decorated cars, and burlesques made up a parade that would have done credit to any school in this country. People gathered from this and adjoining counties, and thousands stood in the streets for two hours watching this magnihccnt array of color and talent. To the 1928 debate was added a new note of interest in the presentation of another trophy by Mr. Max B. Nahm, whose loving cup has been the bone of contention since 1922. This new award is another cup to be given the best individual speaker of the occasion. It went to Miss julia Taylor, of Mays Lick, Ky., who represented the Corecos with Byron M. Craig, Bowling Green, Ky., and Curtis Burgess, Glasgow, Ky. The Big Four team was made up of james F. Chambliss, Laurel, Miss., J. B. Michel, Alexandria, La., and Bailey Layman, Leitchfield, Ky. If the thousands of people who saw the parade, marvelled at the attractiveness of this physical display of energy, they thrilled even more at the mental achievements of the six young speakers. So ably did they defend and oppose the McNary-Haugen Farm Relief Bill that even the winning society was surprised at the decision of the judges. Words carefully chosen met words equally well selected. Tongues endowed with rich gifts of speech made Denhardt Hall ring with argu- ment and oral Hre. How the rafters vibrated with the reverberation of yells which greeted each speaker! And after victory was assured, how they wound their fantastic snake-dance through the streets into the wee small hours of the morning! To the victors truly belong the spoils. Since the first joint debate in 1908, the annual Coreco-Big Four contest has grown in interest. Today practically the entire student body is allied with one side or the other, and the event which had such a modest beginning twenty years ago has become the most outstanding affair of the school year. VVith the exception of 1918, when the VVorld War interfered, there has been a contest each year, and until May 7 gave the Big Fours the lead, each society had enjoyed ten victories. The Big Fours have now held the cup for four successive years, and the Corecos are already planning to tie the score again in 1928. As We go to press, the green and white Hies over the tower of the Bowling Green Business University. But with that exception, every vestige of color has disappeared. Quiet reigns in the ranks which for the past six weeks have been so sharply divided. Corecos and Big Fours rub shoulders in the common classroom, with never a thought of any relation but that of students of a great school. The shoutiny and the tumulz' dies, The Big Fours and Corecos ga, And rzefzfmfzzore shall conflict rise, For he is friend who once fuses foe.

The moon had taken refuge behind a bank of clouds and it was dark. A stiff wind blew down from the north, bringing with it a misty rain and settling over the town a dense fog through which the street lamps shaped themselves into crosses and lighted windows became ghostly blurs. Sounds echoed hollowly, and objects took on a weird, fantastic aspect. As I was reluctantly huge building from which sounds of revelry issued, I drew shivered with apprehension. Nor was my fear unfounded. lights gleamed. Ghosts stalked before the entry and clanking come. From every open door sudden gusts of wind increased sightless eyes from their unaccustomed quarters. Black cats, but irresistibly drawn toward the my wrap closer about me and From every turret window dim chains gruesomely bade me wel- my terror. Skeletons leered with slinking from yawning darkness, made every nerve protest. A hollow voice gave warning of the perils I was about to encounter in this unholy spot, and, as an icy hand rudely grasped my arm, I lied to brighter spaces. Around the skylight I found girls from all nations, of all colors, creeds, and types, in all manner of attire, but engaged in a common sport-Fishing for IIIEII. 'fThis, I thought, is no new sport. Let me End less elusive game. Through a path of dry, crackling leaves I went exploring, now stumbling over hidden stones, now all but falling over half-concealed bones whitened with age. Breathless with eager- ness, I emerged from this treacherous Ghost Trail into the Chambers of Horrors, where lay the last remains of Davy jones. With a sad heart I heard the story of his unhappy life and his terrible death, but I must confess that the miseries of his life did not claim my attention to the extent that I could forget my own dangers. VVith a sigh of temporary relief I allowed my guide to lead me through the dungeon, over false Hoors, through narrow straits, to the gates of Hell. My perilous descent brought me face to face with grinning devils and imps and goblins. I saw His Satanic Majestitc stirring the Ere, his face changing with evil contortions as he con- templated the victims with which he would replensh his unquenchable flames. Shrieking and trembling with horror at this realistic display, I stumbled up the crooked stair to quiet my nerves at the cold drink stand, where a handsome Periot kidnapped me and took me to the room of Witch Mysteries. - , An electric shock went through me as I entered this chamber. I seemed to be bewitched. A thrill such as I had never before known held me. My very fingers became magnetic. Mere touch converted the simplest articles into instruments of torture. I plead with Periot to let us hasten from this place, where nothing was what it seemed and all things were dangerous to behold. Fleeing, we met others as eager to be gone as we, and all joined in the happy, masked, milling crowd which finally formed itself into the grand parade, the finale of a gala evening. Preferring the security which my mask gave me, I did not join this colorful revue, but watched the motley gathering as it passed. This was Youth without care, Youth in her abandon, Youth greeting serious things with a fiing. In each toss of the head, each dancing foot, was betrayal of the buccaneer and the gypsy. Some would have liked being pirates daring and bold, sailing stormy seas under the black flag. We had all reverted to type for this evening, and were seeing through the eyes of our pioneer kin. Oh, who was I? I was the Hawaiian dancing girl who flirted with you so outrageously that night! LUCILLE KERR. Page mneiy-fifve THE TOWERS l928 .2 W -.-. l , -Qi. -.

This, we hope, will prove of great advantage to the student body: lt is a long lane that has no turning. That rustic pathway is indubitably longitudinal that has no circumlocution. f'Love me, love my dog. Evince an amatory disposition towards myself, let your deportment to my quad- ruped be also affectionate. 'Tis an ill wind that blows nobody good. That blast of Aeolus is indeed malevo- lent that benefits not, though homeo- pathically, some portion of humanity. A bird in the hand is Worth two in the bush. ' A natural production of the feathered tribe, properly secured, is more equiva- lent to a greater number in a compara- tive state of freedom. P The more the merrierf' Multitudinous assemblages are the most provocative of cachinatory hilarity. Birds of a feather flock together. Habitants of ether, similarly plumed, gregariously assemble. Out of the frying pan into the fire. Emergence from the culinary utensil into the devouring element. A stitch in time saves nine. A connecting link properly established is nine-foldly economical.

For girls it offers one of the very best means of securing a connection with a business house. The work is congenial, remunerative, and the service of stenographers is in great demand. It frequently leads to secre- tarial or other executive positions. Its promotional possibilities are well recognized. For boys it often opens the door to a close connection with important executives who are not only in a position to make promotions when merit is recognized, but to whose advantage it is to make such pro- motions. While there may not be so many boys as there are girls in stenographic work, it is fairly certain that young men who have superior ability in this line will hnd exceptional business opportunities immediately available to them. -From Courses of Study in Commercial Educa- tion fl923Q, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

The quintet consisted of two pianos, two banjos, an ukulele, and a tissue paper covered comb. The company has played all over Franklin and Scottsville. Consequently their performance last Tuesday was greeted with much interest, and a few cat calls. The program was varied, ranging from a violin quartette, Sonata in A Sharp Major and Rhapsody in a big box, to lighter features, such as a 'cello solo of Beethoven. lt was the old army game, and won the entire audience to sympathetic comments and liberal donations of good wishes, epithets, and vegetables. lt is even said that some eggs were thrown, but upon this we decline to comment, as eggs belong to that low order of things that hit you and run. The concert was concluded with a splendid rendition of the selection, My Baby ls No Golddigger, She Starts with Platinum, which concluded the program. A good time was had by all, and we cordially dare the All- Star Trio to return to our city. The program was broadcasted from the M. O. P. chain of stations: S. O. S. 4192.755 C. O. D. QL3.7D 3 F. O.
