He was graduated from Columbian Uni- versity, Washington, in 1890, and from the Columbian Law School in 1891. For two years after his graduation he prac- ticed law at St. Clairsville, in partnership with Senator W. Nichols. Later he became a teacher of English, a subject which he has taught very successfully at the following insti- tutions-Knoxville College and Waitsburg Academy QWash.j. Professor Hewetson has always been an enthusiastic student of English, and has done graduate work in the English depart- ments of Chicago University, Dartmouth, University of Wis- consin, and Harvard. We of the Junior Class feel that we have a special interest in Professor Hewetson, inasmuch as he has been our class director since entrance. He has ever been loyal to us, sym- pathetic and kind, We realize that we are losing a true friend, and in a slight way would try and express our appreciation for what he has done. ,Wherever he may go, the sincere feeling and good wishes of 1911 will always follow him. THE ARGO, 1910 Introduction We were somewhat fearful in taking up the printing of the College Annual for IQIO. Several factors were to be considered, any one of which would be enough to discourage the timid. One of the greatest problems was the standard set by the former annuals, which we wished to equal and excel, if possible. The financial question is always the one that causes worry, and last, but not least, is the demand upon our time. This year is to be one of the most auspicious in our history. The new administration is firmly fixed, and results are begin- ning to show in answer to the wise policies followed. We wish that through this book we might impart to students, alumni, and friends some of the Old Westminster Spiritf, and give them a new stimulus to believe in and work for our Alma Mater, to make her the Greater Westminster she deserves to be. We have tried to give credit to whomsoever it was due, in whatever line it was gained, whether athletic, literary, or spiritual. Also we have taken the liberty of portraying some of the peculiar characteristics and idiosyncrasies of both student and faculty. Qur purpose is to present some of the life of the school, and, if possible, recall some of the old times to alumni. Especial credit is due to Mr. Finney for the earnest and faithful way in which he has cared for the artistic work of the book, and to Mr. Elliott for his untiring efforts in the business management. As for the ARGO, deal gently with its defects, regard its merits, rather. Remember we are but students yet, and accept it as an expression of our college life and give it an abiding place in your love.

' 4xf 1 :,:,,- H A ' Otherwise known as carrots, blew iri from East . Liverpool, a town noted for its beautiful girls and china- ware. Since she joined our Class in IQO8 she has dis- 4 In A tinguished herself along musical as well as social lines. X, -, ' ,.,i Because of the numerous vacant chairs in the second M A. row in the chorus, Jessie was urged, in the second year 1 ' 'L of her studies, to join the songsters, and as a result has 1 1 proven herself an elficient V uzl., addition to the ranks. if Besides her prominence ' i F .155 V in musical circles she has W NI EQFT' always been an experi- ' f 1 - fiiaf l mental contributor to the , Personals of the Hol- , md. Not long ago Jess . - Caccompanied promis- cuouslyj took a joy ride to the Junction on the Sharpsville Express, and consequently was doled out seven long weeks A of limits by our most generous Discipline Committee. . However, she has lived to tell the tale, and the prospects at present are that she will be one of the many sweet-girl graduates of the Class of IQII. I OLIVE FERN BRAHAM. . Harrisville is famous for her great people, but she has never produced any greater than our present-day wonder-Olive Braham. As a brilliant student with more brains than she can rightfully use, Olive bids fair to make the world stare hard some day. During the hrst two years of her life here Ollie, as she is known to her friends, gave considerable attention to co-education, in factg she is known to have debated the question of the i relative merits of co-education l I several times in Literary Society. ,. At the beginning of her Junior Year she announced her inten- i tion of remaining heart-whole f 4 and fancy-free, and working. ' llzl Her only disisipations have been i CL Y I x il I l JI CSG x Junior Play, Junior Contest, and Holrad Literary Department, with an occasional stroll. If she would overcome her greatest fault- that of meeting trouble half way-and take a course in domestic science, Olive would make an excellent preacher's wife, but, alas, I according to'her version, the fates have decided that she end her days teaching school. THE ARGo,191O 35 FRANK MCCLURE CAUGHEY. Grandpap Caughey is from lVlcKees Rocks, or McKeesport, or somewhere in that vicinity, perhaps it's Otto. Wherever it is, it must be a drowsy place, for he's been asleep almost ever since he came here, waking up only long enough to see what's going on. He paces the streets with an ambling sort of gait, and sometimes he gets there and '- sometimes not. There is only one subject f that he is awake to, and that is a mission- I ary one. He seems I intensely interested in missions, missionaries, and, especially, mis- sionaries, daughters, for It makes no difference where he wanders, he al- ways comes back to Louise. However, he is an enthusiastic member of 1911, even though it may be because of a nightmare, whenever anything is on, Frank is willing to stay up all night and sleep all day. He has a few good qualities, but we will not print them, for he'd get so vain that he'd think he was almost virtuous. ' ' - ELLA DORNON. 'Q She that was ever fair, and never progtd, had tongue at will and yet never loudf, Ella, who came to us from New Alexandria, has only been a member of the Class of ,II since the spring of '09, but she has endeared herself to the hearts of all by her unfailing good humor and her willingness to help her less fortunate companions.

Indeed, her fame and prestige have been won by the fact that she is wonderfully well experienced and knows how to entertain. 36 THE ARGO, IQIO ELIZAWB ETH -ELLIOTT. After her graduation from the New Wilmington High School Beth entered the ranks of IQIO as a Third Prep. She was always a conscientious worker, and, just like a Prep,'f took everything seriously. Yet she was always willing and ready to help her Class and to take part in all the social functions. , x But, at the end of her .. I Sophomore year, Beth real- W ized what she was missing by aug not belonging to the famous , - Class of ,II, so decided to X l l study music for a year and join ' our ranks in the fall of IQOQ. ,M This she did, and is now one 1 of our number.

Speed-4 minutes, 52 seconds, a mile. W R. HAROLD ELLIOTT. In looking at the college catalog for the rest of R, we found nothing more, so suppose that Rf, must stand for 'fRed. However, that name has grown old since the increase of the family, and he's better known as Pap.,' He seems to be the best sort of boy to take care of babies, for f'Baby surely always seems to be pleased and happy when she's with him. lt's peculiar, though, how many brains these little xx fellows have and how well they can if impress their importance on others. Even the faculty-sober-minded men -were so deceived by this little red- headed man that they made him Editor-in-Chief of the Holrad, and he's really making the paper boom already. We hate to quote any good points about him, for we feel the bad ones should receive the greater attention. One thing we will praise him for-he's a true friend, always happy Qhe's never been on limits yetD, and ever ready to help. Pap's pa is a preacher in Cambridge, Ohio, but we understand that Pap intends going to Houston. Pa., after graduation, and start in with a lumber Hrm there. kt THE ARGO, 1910 37 CLARENCE MCCLENEHAN FINNEY. . Clarence isn't half as imposing as his name, or as his picture would make you think he is, although there are some striking things about him, for example, he was born on Mt. Sinai, but by no means is he a second giving of the law. Perhaps this fact about his birthplace is the thing that makes him unafraid of the law, for he never hesitates long about breaking a rule, if he feels like it. As a student he is a good one, sometimes, but mostly not. He tries to look intelligent until a question is asked him, and then a three-word-answer is frequently the result. For Class spirit none can excel him. Wliat- ever is asked of him by the Class, whether it be a scrap, or Aliso work, or anything else. he is always anxious to do his best and work , hard. Finn is a boy from Egypt and has been through the mill here. His N ambition seems to be to get an M.

Norma had a little man , wg His hair was black as coal, if bm' i Every time she wagged her head - 'Finn, was ready for a stroll. ' LAVINIA YOUNG FLOYD. In the fall of 1907 Lavinia cast her lot with the Class of 1911. At the time of her arrival she was enjoy- ing the city life of New Castle, but during the time she has been at Westminster a great change has taken place, and our Lavinia is now a charming country maiden. Laviniazs chief tool is her tongue. She is thought to be able to say one hundred and fifty Words to the minute, and keep it up for an entire day without sulqering the slightest fatigue, and if she stops even then, it is because she is tired talking to herself, and can find no one to listen to her. Her acrobatic stunts create almost as much wonder to the inhabitants of i ' Hillside as her ever-running talking-machine. She has often declared that she intends being an , , old-maid school-teacher, but it is thought that she will reconsider ,xx the matter of her life-work and decide to be an actress, since already she has the ability of sending her friends to the verge of hysterics by pretending that she has fainted or died. Her predominant trait is her own will, when Lavinia says so, it must be so, or she'll know the reason why. As a sulfragette she would be eminently successful. X ,Y THE ARGO, IQIO CHESTER ARTHUR FULKMAN. This gentleman is a native of the wonderful village of New Wilmington, and the most noteworthy fact about him is his propensity for being late at chapel, and' not arriving at first-hour classes until the recitations are half over. 'KChet is 21 little slow, so one would think, unless he should by chance meet him driving nights with a real nice rig and a nicer girl. What the future life of this man is to be we cannot tell, but we believe his aspirations are toward farming and that in the Hnal end he: will stay' home with the old folks on the farm and keep the place.

Genevieve is a girl from Allegheny. She is one of the inseparables, the Henningcr sisters. Coming to study Art, she wished company, so Marie came, too. Quiet and unostentatious she is, a steady worker who takes time to do the little things just right. She seems to have little or no time for the strolls that should CD come in a college life, and is always grinding when she might be walking. Those who know her best like her most, and she is always the same to them, quiet and thoughtful, considerate and kind. One thing is yet to come- heart trouble -and this is inevitable, since VVe know that since the world began, The heart was master in the world of man. i N.. 1' .J .5 A MARIE HENNINGER. She's the maiden with the bright brown eyes, In whose orb a shadow lies, Like the dusk in evening skies. Sweet Marie came to us in our Freshman Year, a graduate of the Pittsburg Academy. She was at that time a meek, demure maiden, but, when she attained the rank of Sophomore, surprised her classmates at the Class party by carrying off the honors in the standing high jump, and near the end of the year again distinguished herself at the Class picnic, when on her way home, and by the aid of her noble swain, she won out in the cross country run. Not only in the classroom and athletics has she shown her ability, but also in the culinary department, her particular hobby being rhubarb pies. She is a good- natured, studious girl and always has a smile and a helping band for every one. She has always won the affection of her professors and has had the honor of being chosen a member of the Honor Council. It may truly be said of this, the smallest lass in the Junior Class, To know ber best is to love her mostf' Her favorite ditty is- Somebody Loves Me, I Know. 40 THE ARGO, 1910 NELL HUNTER. Nell is a typical representative of Vandergrift, a small but mighty town in the Kiskiminetas Valleyr In addition to carrying a very heavy schedule, Nell is specializing in Elocution. She has taken a prominent part in several recitals and in the Class Play, and has shown remarkable talent. She aspires to continue her study of elocution at the Emerson School of Oratory, and, if we may judge future results by past achievements, we will prophesy a most brilliant career for her. But Nell has other interests in her college life, one of which is an un- usual liking for athletics. Although N she witnessed her Hrst football game X after entering Westminster, in one X season she developed a remarkable V X interest in the game, and especially B S i in the half backs. Nell has one very bad habit, blushing at the Wrong time. She has shown herself to . be a loyal advocate of co-education, and has managed to enjoy all the X Y privileges of the fair co-ed, except for a period of seven Weeks, during ' ' 5 . which time she was deprived of all social privileges. Nell considers I these extended limits a most unjust punishment for a forty-minute 4 sight-seeing trip to the Junction, and has since learned to be cautious. EVA SUSANA JAMIESON. If anyone can apparently carry a double personality and deceive her classmates, especially the male ones, it is this young lady. Since entering school this year as a Junior, she has been as silent as a sphinx and has gained the name of the girl who can't talk. Perhaps there is a reason for this silence, since every time one speaks of it in the presence of a close Friend of hers they smile and then C laugh. Reports drift C 6 in of long letters Written and of replies, Q of banners and such AN like, and the fun of it , fpnl is they all come from 7W5 the very same place, and the handwriting is the same. At any rate, we are glad you are here, even R4 ' if your heart is over at W. ISC J., and We are glad to have a girl of such sterling worth and character. ' THE ARGO, IQIO 41 MARGARET' JOHNSTON. Margaret, our country born and bred lassie, com- ing with all that beauty and sweetness of her environ- ment to New Wilmington, was graduated from the High School and entered with great hopes and ambitions the Class of IQII as a Third Prep in the fall of 'o5. Mar- garet is sweet and lovable, with those gentle, winning ways that creep in and take hold of us ere we are aware. She is good-natured and reliable, making a good companion, and sel- we dom shows her temper, although her ., hair is red. Music is one of her pastimes, she has dipped into it just ' enough to know its pleasures. Her a generous supply of stick-to-it-ive- -'- ness has given to her the reputation of a good student. This part of her makeup is especially shown in the German class, in which she is quite a favorite of, and evokes beams i from, the teacher, which is a distraction to be coveted by he'r aspiring classmates. Margaret's aim after graduation is to go abroad and study German, in order that on her return she may be better fitted for instruct- ing the young hopefuls in that line. J X .1 'Y - industriousness in combination with A HARRY ELMER LONG. This boy with the raven locks parted neatly in the middle, looking like an awful mistake, is a native of Pennsylvania. The most pleasing characteristic about him is his rich, mellow, bass voice, which sounds like a ton of coal sliding down a steel chute, We would like to tell you his nickname, but it would be against the moral idealsw to say it aloud, so just look at the ini- tials of his name and then guess what it is. Harry has a reputation of being a strong growler, and it's not sur- prising, for a boy with such a bull-dog voice should certainly employ it along the line best suited for his work. Don't think he is to be a chief hreman because ,jf . of his cartoon-that is ' simply a representation of what he isn't going to g I l be. For the Class he has rendered some service, at one L agffty of the football games last year against the Freshmen, he looked a hole through their line.

Mary hails from f'Coraopolis, eleven miles from Pittsburg, and she is to be counted among the very fairest that that town has ever sent to Westminster. She entered as a H Fourth Prep, but when the second semester came she made up her mind, and also Dean Freeman's, that she ought to be a Freshman, thus she joined the husky honored host of I9II.', 'KBlanche is endeavoring to win a Ph.

We, as a Class, are confident J J! that she will succeed, for, as the old, old saying is, Where there is a will, there is a way, and Mary certainly has a will of her own, and Hrmly believes in having her own way. flf you don't believe me, ask Kennie.

Rena Pettit, as she is usually spoken of, is one of the quietest and apparently shyest girls in schopl. She is a student and a grind. As a musician she is making excellent progress, and, if her present zeal continues, the probability is that some day she will be a well-known pianiste. One fault she seems to have, and tharig an aversion to the boys, at least appearances are that way, unless the person happens to be a good tenor singer. To ,X those who are intimately ac- fu, 5 K quainted with her she is a most lovable girl and has many of . the quiet, strong virtues. She is admired by the boys as one woman who doesn't seem to have a great deal of difhclllty keeping quiet. She is a New Wilmington girl and has never been elsewhere to school. Hers is the sweet power of music. GEORGE MCLAUGHRY PHILLIPS. Phips,', as he is called, must have borrowed the intellectual look he wears from the photographer, for, look as we could, we have never discovered one elsewhere, not even in the biology lab, where all the curios are. This boy is a citizen of New Wilmington, and almost the oldest member' in the Class. This year for reasons best known to ourselves, he was elected keeper of the money-bag, and has made an admirable Judas', in more ways than one.

Arthur Reno Porter, of Pulaski, Pa., has the dis- tinction of being the oldest member of the Class, and, what is greater still, he's the laziest man in the Class. He gets there, true, but he wastes a great amount of valuable time trying to make his thinklbox reach a decision. He has never interrupted a Junior festivity by intruding his presence upon it in company with a co-ed, and, although he may be too slow to catch a cold, hels already caught a damsel at home, and so must be true to her at all costs. He might have been a great athlete if he'd cared to, but he's just been too tired to move the large amount of corporosity he possesses any 1 drawl, and every time l they pass each other, the haste. We are hoping that as the ages come and go, and as the centuries roll around, that our fat man from Pulaski will yawn and wake up. more than necessary. Even when he walks, his feet 1 Gp stop and apologize for M CATHERINE PAULINE REED. Pauline is the Baby of the Class, and as such has been petted by every one. But no amount of petting can ruin the sweet disposition of our Pollyf, Generous and self-sacrificing to a fault, she is the idol of all her chums and the admiration of all her acquaintances. But this beauty of character is combined with a rare cleverness. Her work in the classroom merits and re- ceives the highest grades. She shines in her literary work, as is shown by her place on Junior Contest. Her black hair, blue eyes and general Hcutenessi' have been the undoing of many swains. But Polly never seemed to take co-education serious- ly until her Junior Year. But now, very frequently the cutest little couple may be seen strolling along the street, intent in the most serious conversation. And so, in spite of her avowed intention of becoming a nun, we all believe that single blessedness will not claim Polly for many years. f is 1 r 5 67,735 Cv Gb XQQ ,. 4.6 THE ARGO, IQIO or RUTH LUCILE REED. Ruth was with us till this year, when future obli- gations compelled her to leave, and enter, this fall, as'a Senior. Although a Senior in name, she is a loyal and devoted Junior at heart and would rather be a Junior of IQII than a Senior of IQIO. Bother these matrimonial entanglements, anyway. Somehow or other, it started the Freshman Year, and some- c . thing had to yield, 5325 'l for he had the .. ' f 'fsand, if nothing Q else.

Lloyd Ruland, Esq., of No. Warren, Pa., is a man who says a great many things and means about half of them. Gus,', as the boys call him, is a Wide-awake, energetic sort of a chap and is always doing things. The ' one great fault about him is that he hasn't any more common sense than to be a Democrat. Whenever he gets to talking, William J.-Who-almost-got-there is sure to get all that is coming to him.

Don't blame the boy for that name-he couldn't help it and Tub suits him better. For an all-round, genial good fellow, and friend to everybody, Bob has no equal. Ever since his entrance he has been the life and spirit of everything he's been in, and Hwhat he won't do isn't worth the doing. As regards the Class, he has been ever most loyal and true, ever ready to stand for and fight, if need be, for her honor. ln athletics' he has made the football team and is one of the best track men in the country.

Ofa free and happy disposition, she is a continual inspiration to her host of friends and all those with whom she comes in contact. Her education has been carried on in New Wilmington since she left the primary- department of McKeesport, Pa. After having completed the gram- mar and high school courses successfully, she bravely started in to college with the present Senior Class. But in the fall of her Freshman O Year, owing to the strenu- ' L v l osities of English I QFFFQ, Grace was forced to leave I rg school and later join the :al 9 ranks of ,II. Her coming 4, X has proved disastrous to at least one member of our Class, for I I this year we all miss the beaming countenance of our former classmate Mitch However, Grace is indispensable to the progress of our Class, for she is an unusually entertaining com- panion and a loyal friend, always ready to join in class or bunch H affairs. 48 THE ARGO,191o LOUISE EDNA SCOTT. None so lovely, sweet and fair. Surely no ,lines could apply more truthfully to Louise-describing both her personal beauty and her character. Seldom can be found such a lovable and kind disposition. Good- natured and happy, she enjoys fun and enters heartily into all its various forms, making I A, ,4- basketball, sled-rides, or KU xv- banquets. Her rare gift X agreeable to every one has made for her many students and faculty she A is a favorite.

She has been here since prepdom, and has all her likes and dislikes settled. As a student she is an accomplished bluffer, and can pull the wool over some eyes. As an athlete she has acquired fame as the girl who missed getting in the basketball picture.

One un- fortunate tendency NJ the girl has, and that is an unquenchable love for short things, and her ideal hero seems to be one of about five feet six.

Doc', Smiley, as he is familiarly known, is one of the misunderstood men. Heys been accused of many commissionary and omissionary sins of which he was never guilty. Some faults he has, suchzas thinking he knows how to do things better than other people, but he's not alone in this, he's in good company-Napoleon used to think the same thing. 4'Doc and Beany Williamson have been more or less unfortunate ever since their entrance here, for they never seemed to be able to get girls. It wasn't Doc's fault, for-he,s tried hard enough, but Beany didn't have the necessary nerve. No truer member l can be found in the Class I of 1911, and no matter how fi 7 y he's been jollied and jibed, gl Yet has he borne it with U' a patient shrug. Fergus 4? 0 ' has a great deal of spirit and nerve and is never frightened to show it.

For speed nothing can excel him, and in company with another person from New York vicinity he can always-keep people staring. With all his faults it must be admitted that he is intensely bright. Whatever subject he tackles, from Math. I to feminology, he always succeeds and comes out on the top of the heap. He intends to study Law and should he has made some wonderful pleas and defenses, although here but three years.

Notice that genial cuddle-up-a-little-closer smile. Well, that's his most striking characteristic. He's an accomplished juggler and equilibrist, has been known to balance a hundred and forty pounds or more on the fen ce with comparative ease. Wherever he goes, he seems to make friends rapidly, and they all . stick to him. Last summer he visited in Massachusetts and in twenty minutes made such an im- pression that he is now striving to reach Beulah Land. d: Arch is a genuinely good fellow and is very popular t h ro u gh o u t the school- of course he comes from 1911 and has been ready to do her bidding. Somehow or other he always contrives to keep his stand in with all the feminine ideals no matter how many changes, they always receive him open arms. Wherever he goes he will always form Ohio, but he can't help that. He's here, and back with friendships, for a truer man never lived.

It is surprising what eyes will Elo' t6 'sober- minded people. In the ARGO work he has promised not to tell any untruths, so, remember, this volume should be a monument to his integrity.

Russell, Jr., the Philomath debater, is one of the most prominent men-in school-an all-'round good fellow. Last year he had the honor of winning the essay over an experienced contest man, and for this reason very much can be expected of him. Before mov- ing to New Wilmington, Robert lived in Pittsburg and attended Shadyside Academy, where he made a splen- did record as a student. It is one of the redeeming fea- tures about him, the fact that he was once a student. Not only has he been an active worker along literary lines, but he has also been one of the best track men l'Vestminster ever had. Besides all these things, he is a fellow very fond of social events. Genial, sympathetic, of strong character, he has ever won many warm friends, and the indications are that he will fill a useful place in the world. Edward A. Daum, Philomath orator, comes from the City of Allegheny and is- one ofthe rare finds alongliter- ary lines. He is a Dutchman, but the fact that something can be done with a Dutchman, if he is taken young, is proven in his case. This is only his Freshman Year, but so persistently and steadily has he worked that his ability of a necessity must show forth, consequently, he has been given the office of orator. He belongs to the quiet style of men, men who say very little, but do great things, and his faithful work will surely make him a dangerous opponent to face. Although in school but about two years, he has won to himself a great many friends, and all wish him every success. His ability as an orator has never been publicly demonstrated as yet, but Philomath has unbounded confidence in him and expects much from him. Raymond R, Bryan, Philomath essayist, is a true son of Westminster, having entered as a Prep and climbed his way slowly up the ladder to this, his Senior Year. He is a veteran in the line of contests, and it will be a worthy opponent indeed who will make him yield. He is characterized by his intense Yeal for literary work, and he has always been extremely successful in this kind of work. As a fellow, he is always pleasing and agree- able, ever ready to put all people at their ease. Of marked literary ability, his future career should be successful. In selecting such a man for a contesting team, Philomath Society displayed a great deal of wisdom, and the possibilities are that she will not be disappointed. fFor unavoidable reasons the declaimer had not been chosen at time of going to press.l ' Adelphic Contestants Lloyd Ruland, Adelphic debater, or as he is better known, Gus, is a new man for contest. This is but his second year in college, but by persistent work he has made three years' work in two. He is in- tensely interested in all questions of the day, especially political questions-that is, the ones important to Demo- crats. In his studies he has always stood high, and his reputation for burning midnight oil is certainly substan- tiated by the kind of class-room work done. Naturally of argumentative mind, he will make a great success of the vocation he intends to follow, that of a lawyer. He is popular and has many friends. In selecting this new man for the important position of debater, Adelphic Society is showing the conhdence they have in him. Franklin Elnathan Sturgeon, the Adelphic orator, is an old-war-horse, as far as contests are concerned, for he has been on almost all the contests in school and has always shown a strong literary talent. This year should be the crowning success of his college life, and Adelphic is looking forward confidently to seeing him do great things. Besides the literary work, he has been promi- nent in athletics, having been a star player on the foot- ball, baseball, and basketball teams. No man in school has more friends among the students, and it is with a great deal of pride that they are looking forward to this performance against Philomath. H. Ray Shear, Adelphic essayist, is a product of Northern New York State, He has never been on con- test of any kind before, but he possesses a marked literary ability, and a production of high rank can well be ex- pected of him. Ray is one of the deepest thinkers and hardest workers in College, and ever since his entrance in the fall of IQO7 has maintained the reputation of a student, although he will occasionally indulge long enough to go to a social affair or two. He is a man of sterling worth and character, a true friend, and, if he ever enters the ministry, a successful life, consistent with his preaching may be expected. blames K. Stewart, Adelphic declaimer, isyanother one of the persistent grinds who doesn't have a great deal to say, but one who accomplishes much. For 'the three years he has been a member of Adelphic Society he has been an indefatigable worker, anduhas ever worked for the welfare of the Society, so that in electing him to represent the Society in contest, Adelphic is but giving him his due. Because of his ability of digging and stick- to-it-iveness, his friends all feel that the declaimer who surpasses him will have to be almost a marvel. so THE ARGO, IQIO Oratorical Association The Vlfestminster Oratorical Association was first and primarily formed for the purpose of having charge of the Tri-State Contest. However, since its 'formation in '95, it has also assumed charge of the Gelleva-Westminster debate. The Intercollegiate Qratorical Association of VVestern Pennsylvania, VVest Virginia and Ohio annually holds an oratorical contest at each ofthe various schools in the league. The present members are Bethany, Muskiiigum, Geneva, VVaynes- burg and lVestminster, Allegheny having dropped out this year. ln this league, Westminster has the honor of being first, our representatives having won Hve first medals and four second medals. Allegheny has won three times and Geneva twice. - Those who have taken Hrst place for Westminster are H. B. Hezlip, 18953 H. R. lVIiller, 1399, H. T. Getty, 1903, li. VVarnock, 1904, and Ray Millers, 1909. Second place was awarded W. E. Brooks, 19005 VV. B. lVlcCrory, 1901, A, Stranahan, 1905, and C. YV. lVlcNary, 1908. .The Prelimn is held the third Tuesday in April in each year in the college chapel. At this try-out there are six contestants, three from each society, the winner to repre- sent the school at the contest. This is held the second Tuesday in May of each year, and this year it will be at Vllaynesburg. The contestants for this year are Philo: Scott Woods, ,123 A., E. Wright, ,115 Ralph Houston, ,IO. Adelphic: C. W. Mc- Nary, ,IOQ N. N. Love, ,105 T. L. Patton, ,IO. The contests now engaged in by Westminster along literary lines are in no way worthy of what she is capable of doing. We devote a great deal of attention to ath- letic contests, but have accomplished little along the line of literary contests. There is a great deal of dissatisfaction in regard to rules applying to the Geneva debate. ln every way these rules are antique and almost antediluvian. It is to be hoped that the ensuing year will see the rules revised, or else the debate dropped. A strong effort will be made to get other literary contests. It is the aim of the Associa- tion to secure a triangular debate with Allegheny and Mt. Union, if possible, if not, to attempt to get schools of a similar standing. With such a contest on hand the spirit would be strengthened and a great deal more advertisement could be gained for the school. Besides all these things, up-to-date rules would be employed. Ofa necessity we would have to have two four-men teams, and in this way eight or more men would receive special training, instead of two 01' three as the case is now. With our new teacher in argumentation great results can be honestly expected in the future- The oflicers of the Association for this year are R. Russell Brown, ,IO, President, and James S. Cooper, ,IO, Vice-President. - THE ARGQ, IQIO 81 Junior Contest lVlany things come in the Junior Year, but none can bring as much worry and trouble as the 'Klunior Orationsf' It has been established as a custom that each year the JunioriClass shall deliver orations. From the opening of school in the fall until these are delivered the Juniors worry for subjects, and then would utterly lose courage to go further were it not for the accommodating and long-suffering English professors, who are always willing to-aid. After all the orations have been delivered, eight members are picked by the faculty to contest for two gold medals offered for the best oration and best essay, respectively. Three judges, not in any way connected with the college, are present at the final contest, held during Commencement YVeelc, to decide who are the winners, Last year the medals were awarded C. VV. lVlcNary and Miss NI. B. Forsythe, of the present Senior Class. This year's contest should prove to be a memorable one in the history of the College, since the chosen contestants are all good students and persistent workers. The Whole Junior Class acquitted themselves in a commendable manner, all the orations and essays being of the first rank. This year the contestants are A. VV. Wa1'1'e1i, P. D. Graham, R. H. Elliott, E. G. YVallace, Misses C. P. Reed, O. F. Braham, Gula Smith and G. K. Henninger. Although it has its disagreeable side to the Junior, nevertheless all are anxious to deliver the best oration or essay of which they are capable, and so a high standard is constantly maintained. The greatest good which results from such productions is the training afiforded in the preparing and delivering and the confidence of oneis own ability so gained. 6 82 THE ARGO, 1910 The Geneva-Westminster Debate The seventh annual debate between Westminster and Geneva was held on April 6, 1909, at Beaver Falls. The question was: Resolved, that compulsory arbi- tration would be the best method of settling disputes between labor unions and corporations. Westminster sent A. C. Williamson, ,II, from the Adelphic, and Paul Simison from the Philomath Society, to sustain the negative side of the ques- tion and uphold Westminsteras reputation upon the platform. In this they succeeded, though the decision of the judges gave Geneva the victory. We found consolation, however, in the fact that this decision came as a great surprise to some of Geneva's most hearty supporters, who heard the debate. Then, too, the closeness of the contest may be determined by the fact that Westminster received the decision of two of the three judges, thus rendering her the loser by only the minor- ity vote. This year Geneva has once more won the laurels in debating the question: Resolved, That Congress should provide for the regulation of all water power. In this debate Westminster was represented by A. Williamson and R. M. Gilkey, who supported the negative side of the question. These men worked long and faith- fully, but they labored -under the disadvantage of having the unpopular side of the question. Nevertheless, the decision of two judges was in our favor, just as last year, and only the low marking of the third judge threw the decision to Geneva by five eighteenths of a point. R. M. Gilkey is a member of the present Senior Class. He was Philo,s success- ful inter-society debater last year and has been one of that societyls best workers and strongest supporters. A. C. Williamson is a member of the Class of '1 1. This is his second appearance upon the platform as an inter-collegiate debater. He has acquitted himself right nobly and is an honor to the Adelphic Society, of which he is a member. This was the eighth debate between the two colleges, of which each has won four. We trust that next year will turn the tide of victory in our favor and that Geneva will not be permitted to step beyond the tie-line.

Williamson S4 THE ARGO, IQIO The Holcad The Holcad in its first issue appeared in June, 1884. From then till the fall of 1837 it was published twice a month. In spite of many discouragements and draw- backs the various editorial boards have persisted in their Work and have produced a college monthly, worthy in a large measure, of the school and students. The paper is the oHicial voice of the students, and in its columns may be found the ideals, opinions and feelings of the student-body. The one desire of its manage- ment is that students in school will have enough love for Alma Mater, and enough school pride, to contribute articles from time to time on subjects that may arouse interest, and especially to freely state their views on questions that may be pending in regard to the school and college life here generally. The policy of the paper has ever been one of absolute fairness, frankness and fearlessness. The editors are ever willing to accept and print impartially all papers on any questions which may be raised. 'Whenever the views and opinions of the editors have touched any precedent, custom, Or proposed reform, it has ever been the desire and intent to express these views frankly and fearlessly without check from outside influence. The paper has always striven to maintain an unprejudiced and unbiased opinion on all questions. The circulation of the paper is small, too small for such a college. Each editorial staff has tried to widen the influence and scope of the paper, but has usually met the insurmountable barrier of little or no funds with which to go on with the work. It is easy enough to talk about college spirit, love for Alma Mater and other such ideal things, but it is a different matter when it comes to aiding materially. Every true alumnus of this College and every loyal undergraduate student should show his college spirit by subscribing to the paper, and so increase the opportunity for its wider usefulness and influence.

And it is an alarming ignorance, for it is upon the college man 'of today that the world of tomorrow' 1'6StS. The people are turning to men with college training as leaders in the movements for better government. There never before has been such an opportunity ofliered to young men in every walk of life to shape the future of our country. But few are grasping this opportunity. Even the Christian minister is losing his power today, because he is no longer a leader of men. The average minister knows practically nothing ofthe social and political problems that are continually being brought up for solution, and so his place of influence and power among men is filled by others less worthy. It was to help remedy this one thing that the National Democratic League of College Clubs was organized. This movement was started shortly after the last presidential campaign, and soon most ofthe leading universities had prosperous clubs for their young men. The circle of this organization is rapidly growing, and it is hoped that it will soon include all the colleges of the United States. Westminster has already been reached and can now boast of the first club organized under the movement in Pennsylvania. The outlook for the Westminster Democratic Club, although just organized, is very bright. Even though the membership is limited and exclusive, yet the desired number has almost been reached: The plan of the club is to hold meetings every second week. Live questions will be discussed, dilferent phases will be assigned to different members, and an attempt made to decide upon the advisability of each policy. It is also hoped to have members of the faculty and prominent men outside the college address the club from time to time. Material aid will also be given in this State in its fight for cleaner politics. Many of the clubs have helped to put better men in power in their respective states, and there certainly is an opportunity for the same thing in Pennsylvania. The club extends an invitation to any students of Westminster' who are in sym- pathy with our aims to become candidates for membership. The oHicers for this year are: President, Lloyd Rulandg Vice-President, R. Harold Elliott, Secretary, Archie Warren. ORCAN ISAT I ONS Y. M. C. A. Cabinet Y. W. C. A. Cabinet THE ARGO,1o1o 89 The Young Men's Christian Association The aim of the Young lVIen's Christian Association is three-fold and is portrayed in the insignia or emblem of the organization-a triangle, on the sides of which are Written the Words SPIRIT,!' MINDH and BoDY,7' all surrounding the open Book, upon which is inscribed Sjohn 17: 2I.,i To round out the character of young men by the full development of their spirits, minds and bodies in full harmony one with the other is the aim of this World-wide movement. In the College Association, from the nature of the conditions, the stress of effort is laid upon the spiritual part of this character-building. VVhile in the city associa- tions the gymnasium drill and athletic sports come under the scope of the Work, in the college the development of the physical natures of the men is under the direction of the Faculty Physical Tnstructor and the Athletic Association. Also, when We consider the intellectual development of the college man We find it to be supervised in the classroom and the laboratory for the most part, rather than under the direction of the Christian Association. Thus, from the nature of the conditions in which it is set, We find the Work of the college Y. M. C. A. to be centered in the development of the spiritual lives of its members and adherents. This Work is carried on in various Ways, and as a center from Which other lines have developed there are the regular devotional meetings held every Tuesday evening. It is in these meetings that the men get an inspiration to higher things and are brought in touch With the true spirit of the Association. An important phase of the Association work is the Bible Study Department. Bible Study groups are organized among the diH'erent college classes and a systematic course of study followed in each. The teachers are upper classmen who in turn meet Weekly in a normal class under a faculty instructor. It is the aim of the Association to get every man in college enlisted in one of these Bible Study groups, and thus help him to make Bible Study a daily habit. Akin to the Bible Study are the Mission Study classes. This phase of the Work is carried on in conjunction with the Y. W. C. A. Joint classes are organized to study the Mission Fields of the World. Much benefit comes to those who pursue the courses, and a broader vision is secured of the meaning of World-Wide evangelization. A Closely associated with the Christian Association is the Student Volunteer Band, the name of Which explains its aim and purpose. Nor must We forget the Conven- tions and Summer Conferences, to all of Which delegates are sent. From these many suggestions are derived and much encouragement in the Work is received. Thus the college Y. M. C. A. seeks in these many Ways to do its share in the three-fold development of the college man. go THE ARGO, IQIO . W. C. A. For more than twenty years the Young Women,s Christian Association has formed a vital part in the lives of the girls of Westminster. A college girl has so many interests that she is tempted unconsciously, perhaps, to neglect the really impor- tant issue in her preparation for life, unless she has something to bring her into close personal relationship with her Master. This the Christian Association seeks to do, and these hours spent together on Tuesday evenings are often among the most precious memories of college life. It has always been the aim of the Association to have enrolled as active members all the girls in school. Although this aim has not been fully realized this year, yet many of the girls have found help and pleasure in these meetings. Aside from the devotional meetings, the two principal features of this work are the Mission Study classes and the Bible Study classes. The Mission Study classes which were four in number were organized during the first semester, co-operating with the Y. M. C. A. After studying and understanding the great need for spreading Christ,s gospel at home and in foreign lands, one realizes what a privilege it is to have the advantages of being a Christian and being surrounded by Christian influences. This mission work has come to mean more to the Westminster girl since seven of the girls who have recently been in this Association are now on the mission Held, and it is with the greatest interest that all are looking forward to the evening set aside for hearing messages from each of these missi-onaries. In Bible study this year the committee decided to organize classes for Bible Reading, instead of taking up some text-book on the Bible. In this way they hoped that more practical knowledge of the Bible would be gained and each girl would become more familiar with hers. This Association work is not simply a local, or even a national 'movement, but a world-wide movement, and the girls are broadened by coming in contact with the interests of other girls all over the world. These different associations are kept in touch with each other and helped in their work through conferences and visits from student secretaries. Last summer the Westminster Association sent six represent- atives to the conference at Mountain Lake Park, Maryland. No girl can attend one of these conferences without being aroused to greater earnestness in herwork for her Master through the Association. New inspiration is also expected fromdthe visit of Miss Elsie Jones, who comes in April, having been appointed as Student Secretary in place of Miss Dyer. Since this Association work is undoubtedly one of the most important features of college life, andsince there is work here for every girl which will not only broaden her own views of life, but will add to her ability to help other girls, both in the college world and when she gets out into the larger world, we would urge every earnest Christian girl to give this work her hearty support.

This year marks a new epoch in our athletics here. For some time past there has always been financial trouble, and the teams could not be developed as they should be+the schedule could not be made as wished-through lack of funds. A movement was started over a year ago to put the Associationas athletics on a paying and certain basis by making a certain tax on each student, payable at the beginning of semesters along with the tuition., Thelsum suggested was six dollars a year, and at a mass meeting of the students the measure was unanimously adopted and a request was sent to the college board of trustees that it be made a law that such an athletic fee be charged each student annually or by semester. The board acquiesced with the desire of the students, and this year is the first year that the athletic fee has been charged. Nothing but Commendation and praise can be offered, for the- effectiveness of the rule has already been noticed in the short time it has been working. By the necessity of making the charge compulsory on all students, a new law had to be made as regards membership in theAssociation. Under the old ruling, none but male students were eligible, but, with the new laws, both men and women are allowed membership. As a result, more interest and spirit have been shown than ever before. ln the management of the Association are the president, Vice-president, and treasurer. These are assisted by a faculty committee of three men, whose duty it is to supervise and help in the planning for the best results obtainable. The general athletic board is composed of all the team captains and managers, together with the faculty committee. All Association olhcers are elected at the June meetings, the assistant football, track, and baseball managers are elected by the Association at the December, lVlarch and June meetings, respectively, and become managers one year from date of election.

Taking this department with little to work with and less encouragement from past records, Miss Randall, its present head, has built it up until it is now one of the strongest of the College. Each year the number of students has increased until it has been necessary to secure an assistant instructor. Indeed, there are several students specializing in the work of this department alone. The cause of this most successful and rapid growth has been for the greater part due to the conscientious and faithful devotion to the work by the head of the depart- ment. Her aim has been the aim that should guide every instructor in this line- to help the student to look within himself and, when he has discovered and realized his own powers and capabilities, to express his thought freely and sincerely. To know oneis self and to be able to simply and truly give voice to oneis inmost feeling is the ultimate goalin the art of expression. Indeed, it is because of this goal that it is an art. This, then, has been the aim of the Oratorical Department of West- minster. That it has been successful is attested to by its excellent progress and growth and also by the general satisfaction of those studying under its supervision. As a means to help the student to ascertain his latent powers and talents, ama- teur threatricals have been encouraged to a certain extent. Each year the upper classes have very creditably presented short one-act comedies and plays. In these productions much skill has been exhibited by those taking part, and the exercise in character-portrayal has been excellent. Considered from everyiview-point, Westminsteris Oratorical Department has gained for itself a reputation for eH'icient work and excellent results that is in accord- ance with WCStmlDSt61',S high standard of scholarship.

The conservatory is of the most modern type, with all the n e c e s s a ry accessories for successful teaching. E or practice work there are thirty-two new Kurtzmann pianos, for teaching pur- poses, concert and recital halls, there are three new Steinways and the new Mehlin Grand pianos. An expert tuner is employed to keep the pianos in perfect tune and repair. Forthose who wish organ work there is a two-manual practice organ, and it is expected that the three-manual pipe- organ, given by a prominent Pittsburg banker, will be installed for the coming year, thus offering a greater advantage than that given by similar institutions. More care and thought have been used in the selection of faculty even than in the matter of buildings. Each instructor has been discreetly selected and has come to us as an artist with an established reputation in his particular department. For students, a credit system is employed. It is not the amount of time spent at the conservatory that counts so much as the required proficiency in the work. The ambition of the Department is not to turn out people with musical degrees, but rather students whose knowledge and proficiency along musical lines will bring honor to themselves and reflect credit upon the school. William Wilson Campbell, the Director of the College of Music, is a man of rare ability. Besides being a talented musician, he has a remarkable capacity for business and a wonderful power for organization. He was graduated from the Westminster College of Music in 1890, and received his Bachelor of Arts Degree in 189I,his Master of Arts in 1909. In piano he was forsome time under Mr. Sieveking, the famous Dutch pianist. In vocal culture he has studied at different times with J. Harry Wheeler and Qscar Saenger, of New York, and Maurice NouHiard and Jean de Reszke, of Paris, France. While studying abroad he had the opportunity of hearing the greatest operas of the day, as well as associating with many noted musicians. As a teacher he has the rare power not only of transmitting his own knowledge to the students, but also of inspiring them with a genuine love for the THE ARGO, 1910 117 music for its own sake. Whatever success has been gained in this Department can be largely attributed to Director Campbell,s untiring energy and to his adherence to a firm and noble policy. Miss Nona Yantis, of the Pianoforte Department, was graduated from Patton Seminary, Dallas, Texas, in 1900. Since then she has studied with such masters as Herr Von Graber, E. Schmitz, Emil Liebling, of Chicago, and Rafael Joseffy, of New York. In June, 1907, Miss Yantis was granted a yearls leave of absence for study in Europe and immediately sailed for Vienna. Here she first began study of the Leschetizky Methodf' under Fraulein Rosborska Cnow Mrs. Leschetizkyj. In a short time she began lessons under Leschetizky himself, and continued with him and his additional vorbereiters, Eraulein Hanson and Mr. Willis, for fifteen months. Edward French Hearn, Teacher of Piano and Harmony, has been a student for many years under Director Campbell. During his course of study he applied him- self with such diligence to the theoretical and artistic side of his art that upon gradu- ating he was offered a position as Teacher of Piano. Besides being a teacher of wonderful ability and force, he has a most pleasing personality and strong character, . Luigi Von Kunits, former Concert Master ofthe Pittsburg Grchestra and Director of the Von Kunits Conservatory of Music, Pittsburg, has charge of the violin work. He studied in Vienna with Johann Kral and M. Gruen, in Prague with Otaker Sevcik. He was leader of the String Quartet of the Tonkunestler Verein when Johannes Brahms was their president. He has appeared with such artists as Mms. Schumann-Heinke, Teresa Careno, Messrs. Raoul Pugno, Eugene Ysaye, Harold Baur, and others. Whe1'eve1' he has appeared the critics have been unanimous in claiming him a master of his art. Miss Clara Louise Shaffer, Teacher of Vocal Culture and Musical History, has but recently returned .from several years' study with eminent voice specialists in Europe. Miss Shaffer re- ceived her musical training 1 from such specialists as Max Spicker, New York, Dr. Carl Dufft, New Y o rkg Lamperti, Berlin, Germany, and Jean de Reszke, Paris, F r a n c e. She possesses a mezzo-contralto voice of wide range and beautiful, rich timbre. Coupledwith these things are a masterly and artistic finish and a superior musical knowledge, which have made her a popular singer.

THE ARGO, 1910 119 Art Department In an article entitled Beauty and Democracy, Ex-President Eliot, of Harvard University, makes the following statement: Among the means of increasing pleasur- able sensations and emotions, none is more potent than the cultivation of the sense of beauty, and its infinite value for pleasure and content only waits on the develop- ment of the capacity in human beings to feel and appreciate it. The main object in every school should be, not to provide the pupils with means of earning a liveli- hood, but to show them how to live a happy and worthy life, inspired by ideals which exalt and dignify both labor and leisure. To see beauty and to live it, is to possess large securities for such a life. Dr. Eliot testifies also to the practical value of art training as follows: I have recently examined all the courses offered by the University, and I find but one in which the knowledge of drawing would not be of immediate value. The power to draw is greatly needed in nearly all the courses, and absolutely indispensable in some of them. A very large proportion of studies now train the memory, a very small proportion train the power to see straight and do straight, which is the basis of indus- trial skill.', Westminster College has long recognized the cultural and practical value to be developed through the study of drawing and painting and is fully prepared to meet this growing demand for art training. The equipment consists of well-lighted studios with an excellent assortment of casts for drawing from the antique, and a good supply of models for painting from still-life. There is a separate studio for the Keramic Department, supplied with everything needed for the convenience of pupils. Sketch- ing tours arranged for by Miss Manley, permit the students to make the natural scenery of this part of the country their own. A Reveliatim kiln completes the efficiency of this Department. . Miss Manley, the Director of the Department, is an artist of exceptional talent, and under her inspiring leadership pupils are unwilling to do less than their very best. The course in the History of Art, also under Miss Manley,s direction, is de- signed to be of interest and value, not only to aft students, but to all who desire a knowledge of the worldls masterpieces in architecture, sculpture and painting. The interest of the pupils is deepened through their own collection of prints,'which with their accompanying notes, make an art history of their own compilation. Two exhibitions of the students' work is given each year. The mid-year display was held in January, and the work shown was of an exceptionally high order, revealing both industry and ability on the part of the students. It consisted of charcoal drawings from cast and from life, also paintings in oil and water color, from flowers and still- life. The final exhibition is held during commencement week, and at that time the Art Studio is the center of vision for students and their visiting friends. A STUDENT. 120 I THE ARGO, IQIO Junior-Freshman Banquet The two great social events at Westminster are the interclass banquets. From the return after Christmas holidays till the events are over, the student body is more or less excited in anticipation of the coming banquets and Hassignmentsn particu- larly, since some lives may be changed forever by a mere bit of pasteboard. The banquets are held at the Hillside, Where the beautiful dining room and well-furnished parlors lend themselves readily to decoration. The Junior-Freshman Banquet was held on February II, 1910. The menu for the banquet was an exceptionally good one. The dining room was handsomely decorated and the table adornments showed a great deal of artistic taste and fore- thought. Mr. Paul Graham, President of the Junior Class, acted as Toastmaster. The following toasts were responded to: Class of 1913, Archie W. Warren, Class of 1911, William Laird, Freedom and Fraternity, Professor W. T. Hewetsong The Ladies, Edward A. Daumg Our Alma Mater, Adam C. Williamson. On leaving the dining room the guests adjourned to the parlorwhereadecidedly novel entertainment awaited them by a magician. At the conclusion of the enter- tainment the Freshmen were royally initiated into the good fellowship and spirit of Westminster by their hosts, the Juniors, and when the time fordeparture came all regretted but one thing, that was-the banquet was over. Senior-Sophomore Banquet. On the evening of February 25th, the Sophomores banqueted the Seniors in splendid fashion. The dining room was brilliantly decorated in old gold and blue, and, together with the soft light of the candles and the music of the orchestra, rendered impossible anything but a successful and happy evening. M1'. John lVIanson, President of the Sophomore Class, arrived somewhat late, the Freshmen being unable to resist the childish trick of attempting to kidnap or at least delay him. Despite this unfortunate affair he made an excellent t0HStITl2lStC1'. The toasts responded to were as follows: Class of 1910, Scott Woods, Class of 1912, John C. Young, The Ladies, Robert Mitchellg Our Alma lVIater, Frank F.. Sturgeon. One feature that was new was the French menu and the clever Way in which it was prepared. u After going out of the dining room the guests and hosts spent an agreeable evening renewing and strengthening of friendships. When it came time for all lights out, the company separated with the feeling of - I've had a good time ' X if A good, good time. , ' Nobody knows how good a time but mef, 5527 , S2 :H'iii 175ff24'f 11i .

B.'s-to-be were guessing more as to where the next pill would be than ever they did at some queries he'd been accustomed to make. Shott electrified the horrified onlookers by his daring steals to second bag, and once all were numbed as he foolhardily loped home at a Sharpsville gait. Fulton, ex-varsity, was rapid-fire-gunned to all portions of the neighbor- ing fields, and with ease our reverent faculty pounded the bun to their hearts' content. Score by some of the innings. First Hewie,,' the first to take the wagon-tongue for the grade-pushers, advanced to the plate with such a Browningesque look on his countenance that all felt sure something not to be understood was to follow. After three or four empty swings fthe umpire had some doubt about the matterj, the eminent gentleman gracefully withdrew. Prep,' Bennett sent one to Bro. Bennett at third, who stonewalled and shot it to first. Then f'Petie,,' our Petie,', came to the bat, lifted the hickory, and slammed the first one cloudwise to Handsome, who planted it in the left garden. Fulton pushed out a slow grounder to Hick who was slow on the throw, and HGuntown landed first. Hankey, the Hower of Armstrong County, the would-be-slugger, came to the bat and was going to knock the first one into New York State, but Spitball Artist HeWie looked at him, and, as he did in many other places, Hoored him on three easy ones, much to the chief almighty's disgust. Dobbie next lifted the horsehide-swatter andlthe ball hasn't been found yet. HGravy,' Igo stumbled on a slow one, Campbell reached for the ball and tagged him at first. Bennett was sure to kill the ball, but faculty's pitcher wound him up, and the Seniors retired with two to the good. I28 THE ARGO, IQIO Inning next one Things looked dangerous-for the faculty men held conference behind the stand, and Dr. Russell said some things to them so that when the grand old Latin gladiator of former days stood before them with uplifted weapon, ex-varsity Fulton trembled and shook. But it was no use, on the second ball pitched, Manic hit it cum magna something or other and faciebaz third base on it. Then Prof. Shott shook out some kinks and had one down next to second. In going for it Buck N Park stubbed his toe and the air became so hazy he couldn't see the ball. Witli Big Fish Hickey at the bat, Shooter,' took the chances of a poor throw and beat it to second, showing some of the youngsters how to play ball. Prof. Mills forgot to spit on his hands and couldn'.t hold the bat. Barr hit the ball, and also the ground, on his way to first, and was later ordered from the game for disputing a decision of the umpire. Bridgeman pushed out a slow one, but didn't make first. Score tied. Intermission. From now till the sixth inning things progressed in a peculiar way. The Seniors attempted to do some work and crib some runs, but faculty had seen them in the class- room, and their tricks were all flimsy. Occasionally the contest got warm, and it looked as though the umpire might be mobbed, but things quieted. Faculty would leave occasionally, go behind the grandstand and reappear strangely refreshed fl wonder whyl. For the last inning the struggle was on, and it was plain to see that faculty intended to exert themselves to the utmost. Dr. Russell acted as cheer leader. Final inning Hewetson had been relieved by Doctor Campbell for a couple of innings and frisked into the box like a young colt feeling his oats. Handsome Bailey was up and his smile must have rattled the faculty airgun, for he bingled for a safety. Lightfoot Clark was next up and pasted a two-bagger down toward Pulaski. fDr. Russell calls for hold 'em, brothers, hold ,em.j Clemmie advanced with a sheepish smile and made three awkward attempts to connect with the sphere, then shuffled back to the bench disappointed, for he had intended to put one in the Presbyterian belfry. Guntown', Fulton came up, rubbed his hands in the dirt and gripped the bat for his last swat at Hewetson. On the second ball pitched he ended the suspense and brought two men home. Hankey is back again, but only part of him, for he must have mislaid his batting eye for he whaled at-guess it must have been microcci so far as results are concerned, and he turned from the plate saying awful things. Dobbs poked up a foul which Prep', Bennett gathered in, and the game was over as far as the Seniors were concerned. Score: Seniors 7-Faculty 5. The H Bookwormsu pranced in to the tune of See the Conquering Heroes Come. After sundry admonitions and instructions by the Doctor they went in to do or die. Hewetson determined to win his own game and laid out a pretty single. CFrom here on the batting order will be changed to assist the storyj Campbell came up, hit the third ball, pitched below the belt, and started for second, Hewie making third. Nextl Freeman advanced with a sun- bonnet on, picked up the wand and with his graceful movements wafted one to center field, Hewie coming home. lVIcFlree, hir et ubigue, is plainly the meherculefljof the day, for his ballista movement against the pila was what vincited. Fulton was nervous, tried to hit the umpire, but couldn't catch him till late that night Cfor further particulars ask Crip Moore, Hookstown, Paj, and tried the soap-bubble ball, but lVlanieH frangit the affair and won the game by bringing in the winning run. Final score. Faculty 8-Seniors 7, Requ iexcat in Pate. Benediczite. QSorry to say that Seniors felt very much hurt at the amount of untruthfulness found in the umpire and took him down to the creek and tried to wash it all out, but useless, for when he was hung up to dry, he dripped lies.j Further particulars repressed by request. THE ARGO. IQIO 129 66 79 fl3aseball Umpire-D Who hath Woe, who hath moanings, who hath lamentations and sufferings of the flesh F Verily it is he who lgoketh upon a baseball when it curveth itself aright. When it slideth through the center of heaven's blue ether and fooleth the batsman that he jumpeth therefrom. When it riseth over the middle of the plate and the umpire calleth a strike. Yea, verily, children, it is he that is the umpire that hath the greatest condemnation and hath no joy in his existence. Behold, he standeth behind the catcher and squinteth across the diamond and cries with a loud voice, One strike! And the home team ariseth even as one man and shouteth unto him that he is a liar. Yea, even that he is the father of lies. That an X-ray with piercing B-rays of radium could not land one atom of truth in his H wretched carcass. And they that sit upon the bleachers stand upon their feet and call in a loud voice: Thou robber! Son of a dog! Curses on thee! Back to the water-melon patch! Yet the umpire straighteneth his dorsal Hn, sticketh to it, Hneth the players, and sendeth them to the mourners, bench, and the game goeth on. Now, peradventure, he asserteth that the next one is a ball. And the pitcher getteth ,upon his hind legs and howleth and gnasheth with his teeth like a man in agony, saying, Surely, I put it squarely in the center of the plate. Verily, of a truth, thou art equipped with defective optics. Wliat thou knowest not about baseball would fill a Parisian Bibliotek several times. Furthermore, I feel assured that thou art a deceptive knave and stealer of horseflesh. And the catcher sweareth strange oaths and screameth at the umpire that he could not see a push ball with a microscope, and the fielders shoot forth remarks which would burn out electric fuses. And the bleachers growl with strained voices: Behold, thou art all right, O good and just umpire! Thine eyes are as the eyes of a hawk, thou art a peach from the tree of knowledge. Give him yet three balls that he may gain his basef, But the umpire holdeth his peace and the game goeth on. However, there cometh a time in the game, in the inning that is called the ninth, when one hit is better than two in the first, when there are two men out and three men on the bases :round about the field. The score is tied. Then the umpire pranceth from base to base and longeth for the eyes of Argus and the discerning mind of Solomon. The next man striketh out. Yea, he cutteth swaths in the atmosphere with wide and persistent sweeps of the hickory. And the players rush upon the umpire and rend his garments, and he is covered with dust, and his tongue cleaveth to the roof of his mouth. And the tribe that is called the Bleacherites come upon the field and chaseth him even to the city gates. Surely, the umpire leadeth a strenuous life and hath no joy in his existence. He need not look for the worst, because it is thrust upon him. Surely, he hath as much pleasure as a stingerless bee or a goat that cannot butt. 9 THE ARGO, 1910 131 An American Princess I Arthur Henry Huntingdon, Jr., shifted his line a little more to the left, stuck the pole carelessly into the space between the two water-blackened, moss-grown logs upon which he sat, and leaned lazily back against the huge, gray boulder behind him. It Was very huge and very gray, that boulder, very rough and rugged and grand, very much in harmony with all the sublimity of this great northwestern solitude. Firmly implanted in the face of the cliff, its head raised defiantly far into the dark tangle of scrubby pines above, it was strangely suggestive to Arthur Henry's mind of the frowning castles, gallant knights, beautiful princesses of the feudal days of old. It is very pretentious,', thought Arthur Henry, for a mere rockf' He leaned back against it thoughtfully, the shadow of growing discontent darken- ing his clear-cut, handsome face. Arthur Henry Huntingdon's gay, happy-go-lucky existence had hitherto been entirely too much taken up in a hearty attempt to aid his father in disposing of some of his superfluous millions, to be especially good for him. His sturdy, adventurous spirit loved excitement too well to rest long content with the simple pleasures of the hook and line. Frowning castles, gallant knights, beautiful princesses, he soliloquized, those were days worth living. Even the beauty of the day irritated him. The soft breeze, still fresh with the delicious coolness of the dawn, came soothingly across the lake from the deep, dark woods that lined the rocky shores, touching the surface of the water lightly, breaking it up into a thousand ripples that sparkled and flashed and sent forth slender, shining golden beams far into the morning, but disturbed not at all the pool below him. Half angrily, he threw a tiny pebble into the clear, quiet water. The effect was equally instantaneous, unexpected, and remarkable. From far down in the limpid depths, gathering distinctness as the ripples circled away, the face of a girl appeared, gay, beautiful, framed in bright, softly-curling hair, and the eyes of a girl- great, dark, shining, filled with innocent mirth, looked up at him. For a moment the vision lingered, then vanished in the rippling eddies of the watery Arthur Henry drew a long breath. Christopher Columbus, he said, talk about your beautiful princesses! Now, where on earth did she come from F He scanned the cliff above carefully, eagerly. No stir of life met his gaze save a single bird soaring high over head. Then he laughed incredulously. Oh, see here, he said, with disgust, suppose you use an ordinary amount of common sense. That was simply a trick of your imagination. Who ever heard of meeting charming princesses in the midst of the howling wildernesslnand he straightway devoted himself to his angling with re- newed energy. A Perhaps half an hour passed. Arthur Henry, spurred on by success, was plying his sport enthusiastically now, all else forgotten. He had just rebaited his hook after an especially Hne catch, and was turning quickly for the throw, when, lo! there was the image again-the same girl-face, gay, beautiful, framed inibright, softly-curling hair, the same girl-eyes, great, dark, shining, filled with innocent mirth. And, as he 132 THE ARGO, IQIO dropped his line with an involuntary exclamation, a girl,s laugh, low, but distinct and unmistakable, came down to him from above. He looked up quickly. Only the great rock, with its strange suggestion of frowning castles, confronted him. This is becoming decidedly interesting,,, said Arthur Henry. Deliberately he laid aside his hook and line and began a careful, systematic examination of the whole face of the cliff. It was bare, absolutely bare, save for the tangled clumps of scrubby pines, and they were impenetrable. The utter impossi- bility of any place of effective concealment there forced itself home upon him. Yet the more hopeless the unraveling of the mystery grew, the more stubbornly determined he became to unravel it. So, for days and days, leaving his companions to their own devices, he haunted the spot, puzzling, scheming, planning, but all in vain. Qnce, when he had thrown himself down upon the mossy logs in abject de- spair, the reHection had come again upon the water, and the low laugh, this time with a certain teasing defiance in it, had echoed overhead, but, when he looked up, it was to experience the old disappointment-only the same bare cliff stared him in the face. At last, worn out and disheartened, he confided his trouble to his friend, the news- paper man. Now, the newspaper man was eminently practical, and he looked at Arthur Henry queerly. I think, my son, that it is high time we were getting you back to civilization again,f' he said. ' And so, back to civilization they went, and lived their ordinary lives again, and the newspaper man congratulated himself upon his wisdom. But, deep down in his heart, Arthur Henry still puzzled over the mystery, and still believed his charming Princess of the wilderness to be a real maiden, and he could not rid himself of the thought that in the future her life and his were to be strangely blended. II A year had passed, and that year had done much for, Arthur Henry Huntingdon, Jr. He had begun by walking into Arthur Henry, Srfs, oliice one morning, and calmly announcing to that astonished and highly gratified gentleman his determination to enter his father,s employ at once. And he had worked hard, even as was his custom in anything that he undertook, and people nodded their heads wisely and told each other that, at last, that boy had grown up. But the old, boyish, happy-go-lucky spirit, given free rein so long, refused to down at this late day, and still found expression in strange whims and fancies, the latest of which was the patronage of a certain nickleodeon, to whose proprietor, a jolly old German, he had taken an unaccountable liking. Un a certain evening in September one might have beheld him seated in his friend,s little theater, gazing upon the lurid beauty of a street scene in a western city, and yet with sublime indifference, it must be confessed, toward the Heeting ligures on the canvas. Leaning listlessly back in his seat, he seemed lost in meditation. Then, suddenly he sat up, every muscle tense, his whole face alive with interest. For, lo! on the screen before him, looking forth from a carriage window, was the face of a girl, gay, beautiful, framed in bright, softly-curling hair, the eyes of a girl, great, dark, shining, filled with innocent mirth, and they were looking straight at him. The Princess, as I liveln exclaimed Arthur Henry. A wild hope seized him, and, like a Hash, he was out at the door in search of his friend, the proprietor. That THE ARGO, IQIO 133 wo1'thy, at length comprehending with difficulty that the boy was not violently insane, was straightway all sympathy. Dot bictureF Sure, mein freund, I knows him. Mein billboard, does he not say 'Scenes in-' what you call him F-'Seattle, during the Exposition F' The hand with which Arthur Henry gripped the old German's held something hard and shiny, which caused the old man,s face to wrinkle and crease and beam enthusiastically. Goodbye, my friend, Fm off for Seattlef, said Arthur Henry. As he entered the car Arthur Henry was not in what may be termed a particularly angelic frame of mind. He was very warm and very red and very much out of breath with running, and now it seemed the last straw had come. A train on which there were only day-coaches was bad enough, but day-coaches in which there was only standing-room-for them, words were utterly inadequate. Suddenly, his face brightened. Far up towards the front was one empty seat. To be sure, some one was in half of it, but half of a seat is much better than none. No mere man can stand for two hundred miles at a stretch. It was a lady who was in the seat. She was looking out of the window, and as Arthur Henry approached she did not turn her head. Now, my boy, he said to himself, here's where you'll have to be particu- larly gracious and tactful. Accordingly, he cleared his throat and began in his most pleasing tone, I beg your pardon, madam, but is this seat taken F Then Arthur Henry, the dauntless, gasped, and lost his head completely. For he was looking into the facenof a girl, gay, beautiful, framed in bright, softly-curling hair, into the eyes of a girl, great, dark, shining, filled with innocent mirth. Christopher Columbus-you!,' he said, and sat down weakly. I beg your pardon F The voice was very cool and very haughty. I-I-er-oh-I mean-thank youlw Not at all. She turned to the window again, and he did not see that her eyes were dancing. He watched her furtively, enraged and fuming at his own helplessness. Here at last he was face to face with the object of his quest, with his charming Princess 'F- and she was even more charming than he had thought-and he was no more master of the situation than if he had been stranded upon a desert island all his life. His brain was in a whirl, his tongue refused him utterly. So, for a while they sat silent, and he did not see the smile playing around her lips. Every moment he grew more desperate. At length he could endure the silence no longer. He cleared his throat angrily, then cleared it again. gilt is very warm in here.', T beg your pardon Fw I was just saying that it is very warm in here. Yes.,, She turned back to the window again. The action gave him an inspiration. Would you like to have the window up F No, thank you.', Again silence reigned supreme. But he was growing calmer now, and with returning self-possession came the determination to do or die. YVith sudden resolu- tion he turned to her. Upon his face was irresistible frankness and charm. T think we need no introduction,H he said, yet he trembled for the result. 134 THE ARGO, 1910 She looked up with a suggestion of the old-time haughtiness, then she smiled With a frankness equaling his own. Then you are Christopher Columbus FH He laughed. Yes, charming Princess. For a time they talked on, then she said, And you could not solve the mystery out there in the Wilderness? Listen. If you had gone far around to the other side of the cliff, and climbed up to the very top, and then have pushed back the branches of a certain huge pine standing there, you vvould have found a little path right down through the very heart ofthe pines, and it would have led you to the huge gray boulder. It is said that the Indians, years ago, used that huge gray boulder for a fortress. And you Were on top of the boulder FU Certainly. It was full of great hollovv crevices which could not be seen from belovvf, Arthur Henry smiled contentedly. Talk about frovvning castles, gallant knights, charming princesses ofthe feudal age, T guess these present days are 'good enough for me. - And for me, too,', assented the Princess.

Putt 1 soon the strin band struck u some livel M1118 an, the 1 all started to march into I I 5 I I E P YI I J the dinin' room, jest like thet new teacher makes the kids march in and out of school. Sech a scul'Hin'as there wuz to find the chairs whar they wuz to set, and them gals seemed thet afeard thet they'd lose their partners and they stuck to 'em so tight thet I had to look twicet to see if they warn't tied togither. I brun ou this leetle book thet I found on the Hoor arter thef hed all left. To m . . Y , . , I , . mind it sarves two purposes-one is to tell 'em what they wuz goin to eat and keep em in suspense as to what them high falutin' names mean, an' the other wuz fur to study when they'd run out of somethin' to talk about. Now, thet furst thing stumped me, and if you can tell me what Macedonia of Fruit is I'd like to know it. This I know, thet some place in the Bible it says, 'Come over into Macedonia and help us,, and the only way I can Ht it to this is thet they all needed some sort of help after they'd eaten all that mess of stuff, but it,s strange thet they'd call fur help at the beginnin', unless it wuz meant fur sort of a warnin' fur what wuz ter foller. They had everything divided into what they called courses, but I tho't it was all down to a purty line point. Every time the folks'd clean up the leetle dishful what was brought to them, the fellers Wearin, their mothers' white sewin' aprons would come in and carry out the dirty dishes. You see, there wuz so much other stuff on the tablc, thet they didnit hev room fur all them dishes. While they wuz waitin' fur them fellers to bring sumthin, more to eat, some fellerld get up and make a speech to fill in the time and to relieve folks of the embarrassment of waitini. The cook told me thet they wuz toasts, but I couldn't see the p'int, fur the only thing they hed printed on the eatin' program wuz 'Toasted Crackers' Then, all to oncet, the hull pack'd yell, and to save my life I couldn't hear a word they sed. 136 THE ARGO, IQIO The next thing them folks et wuz some kind of olives, they call' em, but they wuz nothin' more'n green plums, and celery and some kind of cream on the Hillside, but, strange to say, it wuz sarved on plates and not on the hillside at all. Then, arter some more yellin', they hed fried chicken, toadstools, asparigrass, potatoes with gravy over them, frozen lemonade, and Vienna rolls, which T took to be some foreign substance shipped in for the occasion. And, Mirandy, my heart jest ached fur them strappin' big fellers, fur I knowed they wuz as hungry as wuk horses and could hev eaten the hull mess in five minutes 'stid of settin' thar and mincin' fur four hours. The poor fellers' eyes'd foller their plates when they wuz tuk from them with sech a longin' look as if they wuz hankerin' arter more. The longin' wuz partially satisfied, however, fur they wuz bro't them toasted crackers, some kind of cheese, and some refined hash called 'salad' I can't make much out of the last, only they hed some queer-lookin' biskits, with leetle squares of ice cream, some kind of 'boms' wrapped up in papers and some almonds with salt fur seasonin'. Now, thet last 'Demi Tasse' sounds to me a leetle as tho' it wuz borderin' on profanity, but T s'pose arter settin' fur four hours and feelin' hungrier when they got up than when they set down, there is some 'xcuse fur them 'xpressin' their feelin's a leetle strongg but thet should be overlooked, fur they very meekly and with deep feelin' closed thet part of the service with the College Hymn, and whatever thet may be it sounded good. They all got up and filed back into the parlers again and hunted theirselves seats to watch a feller make two or three handkerchers out of one, or sew the same number up into one so quick and without their seein' him thet he made them think thet he jest growed 'em togither in his hands. They all set 'round in this fashion 'til their consciences began to prick 'em and T tho't it was time't sech youngsters wuz bein' in bed, so T let the fire die down kind of chilly-like, and then they bid each other fond good-nights, the boys got their hats and sadly wended their Way homewards. I heered some of 'em talkin' and they sed it was a grand success, and I tho't so, too. I couldn't help thinkin', Mirandy, thet mebbe we made a mistake in not lettin' Dick go to school when he wanted to. Of course, I don't approve of all them doins', but times are changin' and sometimes I think if we hadn't been so hard on the boy he might hev made sumthin' out of hisself more'n what he hez, but it's too late, now, to mourn over it, so I believe T'll turn in fur some sleep before dinner, bein' as I wuz up most all night.

Dr. White is a dentist, but more than a mere dentist, he is a keen student of humanity. When so many diseases were found to be caused by parasites in the body, he began to think that possibly they were responsible for even more than disease. The more he thought about this the more convinced he was of its probability and the more determined he was to make thorough investigation. For several years he continued studying this subject and studying humanity. He noticed that very unusual couples married, even his oldest daughter ran away with a coachman. This started a series of thoughts going that led to his great discovery. That two persons who loved each other could detect each other's presence, even though unseen, was to him an unfathomed mystery. Day and night this thought kept surging through his brain. He could not sleep because this and other equally vague thoughts went racing through his mind, and seemed to have absolutely no solution. First, he conceived the idea that there were microbes about the lips and mouth, and that these were given offinto the air. It was reasonable to suppose that when people of the opposite sex came near each other the microbes would change places and in some way cause the quick- ened pulse and blushing cheek experienced under these circumstances. Neither was it past belief that when the lips were joined in osculation the free mixing of the germs would arouse the emotion of Love. Various experiments were conducted in an attempt to establish this theory. In his profession as a dentist it was very easy to secure germs from the lips of two persons and then interchange the love-producing animals. Although these experiments failed to establish this theory, they were not without some excitement. One day a large, fat German came into his ofhce to have some dental work done. By his usual method some microbes from his lips were put in a glass of water. Soon after, one of the doctor's daughters, a girl about sixteen, entered and being thirsty drank the contents of the glass. The doctor was horrified and gave her an antidote, telling her that she had swallowed poison. She suffered no serious results, except the shock from having swallowed poison. This idea was abandoned, as no proof could be found that such microbes existed. Other ideas had the same end for some months, but skill and much knowledge were being gained by these investigations. On the afternoon of September 16, 1909, the long-hunted microbe was found. A young lady entered his ofhce and had a tooth extracted. The tooth was laid on a table and forgotten. Some fifteen minutes later a young man who was soon to be married to the young lady also entered the dentist's office and had a tooth pulled. By a mere accident this tooth was laid on the table near the other. In a few minutes Dr. White was looking for something and noticed that the blood on the teeth had changed to another unnatural color and was effervescing. The blood was examined with the microscope and the discovery was made that love is caused by a microbe. Experiment was followed by experiment. They culminated in these facts. Under ordi- nary circumstances the love microbe is entirely invisible, even under ag very high-power micro- scope, but when it is brought near those from a member of the opposite sex it is enlarged to many times its natural size and can almost be seen by the unaided eye. This is made further possible through some evidently chemical action which slightly changes their color, making them light brown in color, instead of transparent. Even more astonishing than this is the THE ARGO, IQIO 139 fact that these small animals are capable of something closely resembling electro-magnetism. Usually they lie dormant and seemingly possess no life. fThis cannot be determined positively owing to their extreme smallnessj, but when two aflinities of opposite sexes come near each other, they are aroused and become quite large and very active. They then attach them- selves to the walls of the blood vessels and probably have some effect on the nerves, since the walls of the blood vessels are relaxed and the blood surges through them, producing the throbbing of the temples and Hushed appearance of the face. Experiment proved even more than this. Persons who were capable of the greatest love for each other, as shown by a happy married life together, were found to have microbes electro-magnified to the same degree, and acted just as the two instruments in wireless telegraphy. VVhen they were near each other they were cheerful and different than when separated. On the other hand, persons who had lived together for some time as husband and wife, quarreling and fighting continually, were found to have microbes which did not respond to each other readily and were not graduated to the same point. VVe know. not what further development may be made along this line, but one thing is sure, Dr. Wliite has made a discovery which, if used as it should, and we hope will be, will do away almost entirely with divorce. If legislatures can be suH:1ciently interested to pass a law forbidding the granting of a certificate of license to any couple until the blood from each has been examined and found to possess microbes near enough alike to foretell at least a degree of happiness, most, ifnot all, of the divorce cases will be done away with. There is, moreover, a further advantage. When a man starts out to find a Wife, he can go to the doctor of love, be examined and receive there the names of certain ladies, previously examined, who will be capable of reciprocating his affections. Thus, one would be sure of getting an amiable com- panion for life and the number of suicides would be greatly decreased. Dr. Wlmite is soon to appear on a prominent lecture bureau with a lecture entitled The Love Microbef, In this he intends to try to bring before the people of this nation, as well as other nations, the importance of taking delinite steps along this line, to the end that our social difficulties may be helped and sorrow and unhappiness cured by this simple though effective means. In order to' further aid this, he is publishing a book on the same subject which will soon go to the press. l L , l i 1 Le .Q t. J 'tt LI Q00 - ' L Q NXAX , Q , KG:-fl .

The languid air was loaded with their fragrance, while they cast a rosiet glow on the Hushed faces of the pair standing beneath their leafy branches. Eleanor Sharon stood there, the picture of superb health and attractive young womanhood. Her companion, Clark Miller, however, who had been a cripple since childhood, sank down on the steps, his limp form and large, thoughtful eyes betraying evident weariness. Eleanor cast an anxious glance down at him and remarked, You look tired, Clark, perhaps we had better put up our mallets and balls for this afternoon. As you wish, Eleanor, he replied, adding bravely, although I really think I could play another round if you wanted to. Oh, no, let's not, she said considerately, her gaze wandering dreamily from him across the Helds of golden grain and the cool woods beyond, to the city which was dimly outlined in the distance. I What was her attitude toward this patient cripple, who had been her earliest neighbor and friend? She could hardly tell. She had learned to admire him, for his was a sweet, serious nature, which his infirmity only seemed to ennoble and enrich. Of this at least she was sure on that summer afternoon-she respected no one more. AUTUMN Summer had given place to autumn at the Sharon home. The rose-bush had ceased to bloom, and its leaves were crisp and sere. Every morning Clark, Who had been conhned to his room as a result of over-exertion on that summer day, sat by the window, where he gazed wistfully at the changing colors and the unusual brilliance of the trees which lined the street. And almost every day he watched for Eleanor's appearance. Sometimes she was out on the lawn in front of her house, which was directly opposite to Clark's, and always she gave him a pleasant nod of recognition, which changed the autumn in his heart to summer. Several times of late he had seen her with a new companion, a handsome young man from the nearby city. He was unknown to Clark except through rumor, but report declared Edwin Findley to be as shrewd in business as he was attractive in society. He was spending his vaca- tion out there and at the same time putting forth his best efforts to win Eleanor Sharon. Clark often watched them anxiously as they walked by, Findley confident and happy, he thought, and Eleanor more reserved, yet hardly less happy. And as he watched them, autumn, with its indefmable sadness, hlled his heart. WINTER Eleanor ran to the window and looked out. Everything was covered with snow and ice. Even the trees were bent far down by their heavy burdens. The air was cold and bracing, and the sun added the last touch to a perfect winter day by changing every little Hake of snow into a rare diamond. Was there ever a more glorious day for skating? I do hope Edwin will not disappoint me this morning. How lovely it will be to skate with him-he is so magnificently big and strong. Her gaze wandered to the house opposite, where Clark was patiently shoveling the snow from the walks, and answering the passersby with a smile and a cheery Good Morning. H Poor Clark, how I pity him, she murmured, and yet how brave he is and how cheerful. 144. THE ARGO, IQIO An hour later Eleanor was gaily skating over the smooth ice, with Edwin at her side. An unusual pair they were, well matched in strength and personality. So the cripple thought as he watched them from among the crowd of spectators along the bank. But at that moment the newly formed ice gave a treacherous crack. Eleanor's skate caught in the crevice, her foot turned, and sent her at full length on the ice. At this added pressure the crack widened, the ice gave way, and before Edwinls frightened eyes Eleanor began to sink in the freezing water. He looked a moment and then, feeling himself also sinking, turned, and in an agony of terror skated to the shore. But one pair of eyes, which had never left her for a moment, was instantly aware of Eleanor's danger, and with marvelous rapidity, considering his crippled condition, Clark had reached the spot. It was only the work of a moment to draw her out and give her into the hands of the sympathetic crowd which had gathered about. SPRING Two months had passed. The birds had returned from the South, and the air was filled with their songs. Trees and lawns were clothed in a delicate green, and the crocuses bloomed in front of the Sharon home. Eleanor stood on the veranda, with the rose leaves clustering about her head. She was apparently none the worse for the fall through the ice, but that day on the lake still seemed to her like an awful nightmare. Two pictures kept Hashing vividly through her mind. One was the cowardly terror on Findley's face as he left her there to drown, and the other was the face of Clark Miller, bending over her, with love and nobility of soul pictured on every lineament. With the advent of spring the fancies of all three had lightly turned to thoughts oflovef' and in two hearts there was sunshine and joy. Six months earlier Eleanor could not have told which of the two lovers she preferred-the handsome young society man or the cripple with the brave heart and thoughtful eyes. But the icy plunge had decided her, and she had chosen him whose patience and humility she had so long known, and whose love not even death could daunt. rm ' l ax Eff' ll?

Here each year four tribes assemble, Here associate they freely, And, in dwelling thus together, Learn to know and love each other. But each year the tribes are changing, As the Seniors leave the place, Comes a new tribe here for training And here learning and completing, In its turn goes forth to service. So it is forever changing, Thus they come and go forever. Peaceful was the tribe of Freshmen, Herded 'neath ,II,S banner, To enlarge their brain with learning, In the best old Alma Mater: Silly came they to Westminster, Green as is the grass in springtime, Simple were their ways and brainless, Love and hope dwelt in their bosoms. They would truly live as brothers, With the neighboring tribe of Soph'mores Who made IQIO their war cry, Whose war paint was the blue and gold They would gladly joined together To defend Westminster's honor, And forget the useless quarrels That cause endless troubles. But the Sophs were few and slower, No great chief to lead them forward, So ,II could not stand it, And went Hrst upon the war path, With the aim to cause a rough-house, Went that ,IO,S scalps might be severed And hang under the green and white. 4 9, fm :px :-.lex Q,-p , fm A -f , :capri :iq-f,:p,. 1--. , , THE ARGO, IQIO I From the time before the snow fell Sorely did we over-run them, How we teased them on the field, Where the pigslcin holds dominion. And we beat them-back forgotten In the tumult of the battle. Never did they cross the goal line, But were ever struggling onward To attain a glorious triumph, Conquered by their own thick heads, But the great chief Red-tub-Runtol' Led our host on 'gainst them too well, And made them bite the dust of earth. Then when the great powow called, Flag rush was ordered in the night, Altho' the mighty war council, 'With heap big Injun Russell for Their chief forbade it strongly, so The pole was planted deeply, Strung with wire, cleanly barbed. ,II,S valiant band was guarding Down below, when in came husky ,IO,S great warriors, and tried ' To dig it up, but with war-whoop Brave ,II piled on them, And soused them on the hard earth. So ended thus with ignominy, The bold assault of ,IO,S almighties. Then came on the two-mile relay, When our warriors chased them 'round, And left them in the gloaming, sad At heart for all their throwdown, And in posting bills for warning, Old ,II 'gain stept forward, Did what no tribe had before them- Posted lessons to their foemen, ' The slow-witted Sophomores. Next year came the tribe of knockers, IQIZ their appellation, E And they far outnumbered Chief Tub Russell's mighty swatting warriors, When it came to advertising, They were sleeping still and peaceful, Under shadow of the midnight, And they then did learn the lesson To sit up all night and work, If 11 they would conquer. .: 554. 4:45, ,SN iff 5 .K ,S FE -14 THE ARGO, IQIO I When it came to do the running, Big Chief Russell led the vanguard, And in victory marched superbly Past the slowly-running Freshmen. As Time with advancing footsteps, Tireless, ceaseless, endless footsteps, Reached those hours before the dawning, When dark Night her noiseless garments Gathers close, and with jet blackness Paints their shadows on the landscape, Came the signal to move forward. Then ,II procured a boulder, With their war cry carved upon it, And did place it on the campus, Near the meeting-place of tribes, They expected it to stay there As a symbol of their prowess, But the sturdy tribe of foeman Went upon the war path next night, And in force did tie the boastful With strong cords of hemp and cotton. Old eleven, undespairing, Nothing daunted by the hardness Of the hght they now were facing, Raised their clubs and fought with gameness. Some brave spirits were among them, And they rose and made resistance, Fought with strength and fought with courage The attacks of their assailants, But soon they were rendered helpless, And were taken out as prisoners. While they watched their foemen bury Their great boulder and its war cry. Two braves were among them who did Break their bonds and flee, but their Brothers left behind them suffered Till the early morn, when they all Were led and shown to the brave squaws That live in the Hillside, far From scene of toil and trouble. 'When the summer came alongward, With its trilling birds and brooks, 'Then conspired eleven together, And the stone did resurrect To always stay above the sod, With honor or cause trouble.

Enrtitiun Westminster, located nine miles north of New Castle, Pa., and about sixty miles north of Pittsburg, is central to the vast population lying between Virginia and the Lakes. In physical environment it possesses both beauty and healthfulnessq its buildings overlooking one of the 1T1OSt beautiful valleys of the state. Its moral surroundings are conducive to the quiet and order essential for the true student life. Glnurava nf Svtuhg The College is eo-educational, affording five courses of study:-Classical, Scientific, Philosophical, Music, and Art. The Classical course, while emphasizing languages and litera- ture and the subjects of special interest in professional life, gives a good share of attention to Science in its various branches, so as to furnish foundation for the broadest culture. The Scientific course is wide in scope and administered with a laboratory equipment which enables students to prepare with great thoroughness for post-graduate Work. The philosophical course, while giving special attention to Philosophy and History, includes Pedagogics and History of Education, and is especially adapted to those contemplating the profession of teaching. In Music and Art, credit is given toward graduate work in the Academic department, it being recognized that both of these have a culture value worthy of place in the curriculum of the College course. Ellie Olnllrgr nf Hlnair The College of lVlusic is conducted by a corps of instructors trained under the most emi- nent and successful masters of both America and Europe. The character of the work accom- plished has been recognized as of the highest order, thus securing a constantly enlarging and appreciative attendance. The building devoted to Music is one of the best to be found in connection with any institution. It contains thirty-eight rooms for teaching, practice, and concert purposes, while its architecture and interior decorations harmonize with the aims of culture. Steinway and Mehlin Grands are used by all teachers, while new Kurtzmann upright pianos are used in all practice rooms. To secure the best results, no practice piano is retained longer than tvvo years. Progress and elhciency are the watchwords of the department. No expense or effort is spared in making this department the equal ofthe best musical conservatories. Ellie Bvpttrimrnt nf Art The Department of Art provides training for all who wish to make a profession of Art, furnishing a four-years course. The work is in charge of a skilled and experienced instructor. Extended courses in the History of Art are furnished and opportunity given to study the master- pieces in the Carnegie Galleries of Pittsburg. ADVERTISEMENTS io Ellie Svrhnnl nf iixprraainn In addition to the large emphasis placed upon public speaking, in the Department of Eng- lish, a School of Expression is maintained, offering courses for graduation, and conducted by an instructor who has won an enviable reputation in his calling. 61119 lgrrpttrtttnrg Eepttrimeni A Preparatory department is conducted in connection with the College, paralleling with its four-years course the work ofthe best Academies and High Schools, and furnishing prepara- tion for entrance to the College courses of Westminster or other Colleges. Qlullvgv Equipment The recent enlargement and renovation of college buildings, together with large increase of apparatus, gives Westminster an equipment equal to the collegiate departments of leading Universities. The Hillside, a dormitory for girls, furnishes the home comforts and associa- tions which wise parents demand for their daughters. Mural Prima VVestminster has for her ideal of eilfort the harmonious blending of broad scholarship, pure morality, and an evangelical atmosphere such as will foster reverence for the Bible as the VVord of God, and sympathy with the missionary program of Christ. The intellectual, moral, and spiritual are viewed as essential to an educational system which would train not only how to make a living, but how to make a life. fibre Olnllvgv Hear The College Year of IQIO-II will open September 14th, at zzoo P.
