I ' • Dl 1 Hi J ' ' p i 1921 Like rills from the mountain tugeti.ier that run. And make the broad river belouj; So each little life, and the i ork of each one To one covimon current shall floz ' ; And down on its bosom, like ships on the tide, The hopes of mankind shall move on; Nor in vain have vje lived, nor in vain have z:e died, If ue live in the uork we have done. 1921 THE ARGO Volume Sixteen WESTMINSTER COLLEGE ANNUAL Published by the Class of Nineteen Twenty-One Westminster College New Wilmington, Pennsylvania NINETEEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY 1921 Editors ' Foreword We have attempted in this little volume to convey some idea of the greatness and alue of a college career in Westminster. It has been the one great aim of the statT to picture, in its true light, -every phase of our college life. We have tried to represent everyone and evervthing; and fairness to all has been our polic ' . If we ha e failed to attain this aim, it has been through our mistakes and not our desires. We ha e made no attempt to eclipse former editions of the Argo, for that would not only be unfair to them, but it would also be the height of folly in this vear of unrest and tremendous high cost of publications. The class of ' 21 is not large in numbers, and this work has been accomplished only bv the heart - co-operation of all. We do not claim to be infallible. On these pages you will, no doubt, find mistakes. Our only excuse is that, under existing con- ditions, we have done our best, and this publiiation represents hard work and honest effort. To the students and alumni and their friends, and to all those who are interested in the welfare of Westminster, the following pages of the record of the college year of 1919-20 are respectfull) ' submitted. 1921 Contents PAGES 1-8 Introductory 0-10 Trustees 11-26 In and Around Westminster 27-40 l ' acultv 41-68 Classes 69-72 Clubs 73-76 Religious Organizations 77-82 Music 83-90 Oratory 91-93 Pageantry 94 The Lovelorn 95-102 Publications 103 Student and 1 lillside, Government (Committees 105-130 Athletics 131-150 Special Section 150-176 Chronology, Jokes and Advertising 1921 — -I To A MAN WHOM WE ALL RESPECT AND ADMIRE; A MAN OF UNPARALLELED ABILITY AS A TeACHER, A TrUE Friend and Wise Counsellor: To DR.

Prenidenf Emeritus For Dr. Ferguson, well named Westminster ' s Grand Old Man, we have the most profound love and respect. For many years he was head of the College, and today, as President Emeritus, he is still interested in student activities and is the very em- bodiment of the Old Westminster Spirit. His activities in College affairs excel those of many younger men. His acquaintance with College friends, alumni and students, is surpassed by no one and he is an authority on college matters of former years. His many friends, at Westminster and everwhere, unite in wishing him many more years of life and happiness. Mrs. Alice Strowbridge Dean of Women Another year finds our capable Mrs. Strowbridge still a valiant lady at the head of her Hillside Crew. Several times, indeed, we have almost proved too great a strain on her nerves; but she has always ral- lied, and everything is again in its place, signed for and scratched off with great diligence. Those who do it have peace of mind, but woe unto those who do not. Through most of the year Mrs. Strowbridge had to be dean, matron, Mrs. Lutz, Pete and every- one else, but through it all the girls always found her capable. Everyone who meets our Dean says of her, She surely is charming. Every Hillside girl hopes we may keep her and her mother with us for many more years. Chas. Freeman, Ph.D. Dean and Professor of Chemistry You ' re a professor about whom we rave, Dr. Freeman ; And whose good opinion crave. Dr. Freeman. For you always wear a smile, And you make work seem worth while. Even though it be a pile. Dr. Freeman. And if you should ever leave. Dr. Freeman, Deep down in our hearts we ' ll grieve. Dr. Freeman. As you float on down life ' s stream. May it always to you seem Like one long mid-summer ' s dream, Dr. Freeman. 29 James D. Barr, D.D. Chair of Bible How would they ever run Westminster College without Prof. Barr? He has shown himself invalu- able to the College in several departments. Greek and Latin occupied him at first, but now he is wast- ing his time trying to give those somnambulistic Seniors the evidences of Christianity, even if he cannot give them any Christianity. We feel that it is a shame that he should expend his energy in such a fruitless effort, for the only thing that there is evi- dence of is that there is some one sleeping in the back of the room, and Prof. Barr is too kind to in- terrupt his slumbers. James Oscar Campbell, A.M., D.D. Prof elisor of History and Political Science Dr. Campbell is a cheerful and learned teacher, a great booster for Westminster and the friend of everybody. There is something contagious about Doc ' s smile, and many a homesick or lonesome stu- dent has been cheered by it. In the class-room or out, we are surprised that one head can carry all he knows. On any present day question, he is one of the best informed men in the college and he possesses a wealth of information on each of the various subjects that he teaches. Individually, and as a class we regrad Doc as one of our best friends and he has our best wishes in whatever he may be doing. Roger F. Gephart, Ph.D. 1 K Professor of French We like to think that Dr. Gephart belongs to our class, for we made our first visit to Westminster in the same year. He is appreciated as a thorough stu- dent, able instructor and understanding friend of the students. His extensive travel and varied reading enables him to liven up the dullest class with his ancedotes and witticisms. He is patient with the slowest among us and seems only sorry that we too can not take B. Quick as our standard. If the fairest ones among his students are apt to cause him to ejaculate Oh horrors, never a one but forgives him. We don ' t mind that; every genius has his eccentricities and so have many others. 30 1921 Elbert R. Moses, Ph.B. T K A Professor of Public Speaking Prof. Moses is a man of many activities. As head 01 the Department of Public Speaking, he has ex- pended every effort to place his department on its present efficient basis. On account of his progres- sive spirit and his deep interest in the College, he was appointed head of its Publicity Department. He has filled this position effectively, working tire- lessly in the interests of Greater Westminster. He does not confine all of his attention to the College, but takes an active interest in all progres- sive movements of the town and community. The students, .Juniors especially, find him a true friend and ready counsellor. William F. Luebke, Ph.D. Head of the Department of English Westminster is proud to claim Dr. Luebke, as a member of her faculty. He is a man whose scholar- ship and education are of highest rank. Although this is his first year in our College, he has already won for himself a place in the hearts of the stu- dents. His genial smile and ready humor make his class-room a source of inspiration to all who enter. One thing, however, which he does not like is free verse, although he is himself, an expert free verse poet. Nevertheless, we must give Dr. Luebke cre- dit lor knowing his subject thoroughly. He is just bubbling over with English, and anyone who goes into his presence to talk of this subject is sure of an inspiring conversation. It was a good day for West- minster when Dr. Luebke took charge of the Depart- ment of English. Martha Mae McKnight Director of Pageantry and Ass ' t. in Public Speaking She came; we saw her conquer. Miss McKnight came into our midst as an assist- ant to Prof. Moses. She has captivated our hearts, amused our souls, and instructed our vocal organs. She teaches us so many things that we wonder how one small person can know so much. We can learn to orate, debate, extemporate, breathe correctly, tell stories, folk dance, play basket-ball and flirt, if we but give heed to her teaching. It is too early to tell of her achievements in the May day festival, but we are sure it will be a suc- cess, as has been all of her work this year. 31 James McAlll ' ster Shaffer, A.M. Profesfsor of Mathematics Who does not like Pop Shaffer? Perhaps, at first, the Freshmen cannot get used to his gruflf ways, and they rather resent that touch of sarcasm that comes their way when they arrive late to class, but they soon find out that it is all for their own good and they respect him more for it. He is a good man in all ways. He is sincere and conscien- tious about his work and has a perseverance which means get that problem or die. He is an all around college professor. B. E. Quick, A.B., Ph.D. i; -I ' Profesnor of Biology In choosing the new biology professor. Dr. Wallace followed Holy Writ where it mentions the quick and the dead. Herewith we present the Quick; the dead are now pickled in alcohol in the Science Hall. Dr. Quick comes to Westminster with a wealth of learning and with years of experience. For a time tlie students were not able to penetrate his cool re- serve, and they felt that his superior learning would keep him from becoming a friend. However, like all other bachelors he fell a victim to the winsome smiles of Westminster co-eds. He is .sorry he spoke such unkind words in Biology I. John Abram Shott, A.M. A r A Professor of Philosopyh and Education To know Professor Shott is to really know a true and helpful friend. At first one wonders what there is which can hold the keen interest and atten- tion of every one in his class, but when he begins to pour forth his endless store of knowledge, then it is that one sits entranced. To impart only these prin- ciples of knowledge which are fundamentally most important and necessary for building up strong and enduring character and to allow one time to think, are the out-standing features of Professor Shott ' s psychology of teaching. 32 1921 W lliam W. Troup, A.M. ProfcsKor of Ancien t Languages It is an unfortunate thing that the true worth of a college professor is not recognized by every one. This is especially true in the case of Professor Troup. To know him and to recognize his real value, one must sit at his feet in the class-room or what is better yet, go into his home, sit before the open fireplace, and listen to him talk in that slow, well modulated voice. If one believes in the ideal things in life there is no better place for inspiration than with Troupie. Miss E. Louise Stone, Ph.B. Romance Langn aga Miss Stone is one of the best sports on a faculty full of them. Always ready to see the student ' s side of any question, fond of a joke, earnest in her work — is it any wonder that we have learned to admire her? One thing, howevei ' , upon which Miss Stone in- sists, is promptness in getting to her classes. When the College, Hillside, and town clocks are all differ- ent — which one should we go by? Anyway, plus tarde cjue jamais is a good motto, and if you have a good excuse, you will be forgiven. Miss Stone handles her classes efficiently, and knows her subjects thoroughly. Besides being a competent teacher, she is also a competent chaperon. J. A. Swindler, A.M. Professor of Physics This is Professor Swindler ' s first year at West- minster, and we don ' t know yet, on account of his name, whether to trust him or not. He is a man who has a deep interest in his science, concentrating all his energies toward its mastery. If it were in his power, he would place our Physics Department on a par with those schools which have the model physics laboratories of the world. Having had several years of successful teaching, Mr. Swindle r is a very competent instructor. We place a lot of confidence in what he says, and are mighty glad to have him at the head of our Physics Department. 33 Miss Mary M. Wallace, A.M. Assistant Professor of English This is the fii ' st year Miss Wallace has been with us, yet we feel that she is already a firm friend. As a teacher of English, her sympathetic and apprecia- tive interpretation of literature, together with the life philosophy of the author as revealed in his works, makes the study of the subject both interesting and profitable. This has made her courses some of the most popular electives in school. Miss Wallace takes a deep interest in all the students and has always proved herself to be, not only an excellent teacher, but also a wise counselor and above all a true friend. Galen Hover Assistant in Chemistry Mr. Hover became first assistant in the chemical laboratories last fall. It is hard for us to conceive of him as a teacher, but his earnest, hard-working, studious qualities, and his knowledge of the myster- ies of chemistry, well fit him for the part; while his quiet, easy-going, unassuming nature enable him to readily make friends of us all. His work has been greatly appreciated by all those who have come in contact with him. Mrs. Henderson, B.L. Librarian This is Mrs. Henderson ' s second year with us, and she has proved herself capable of handling the task commited to her care. Good-natured, kind-hearted, and having a thorough knowledge of the library, she can tell us anything we wish to know. Of course she kicks us out occasionally, but she has such a nice way of doing it that we really don ' t mind it. Her familiar statement, the library is for study and not for conversation, is well known. Nevertheless she has shown herself helpful and a friend to all. 34 —1921 Per Nielsen Baritone Director of Music and Vocal Culture College of London, University of Norway, Paris, Berlin, Florence. Mr. Per Nielsen, the Norwegian Baritone, as he is known in musical circles, was chosen to reorganize the Department of Music in the fall of 1919. Mr. Nielsen has studied in Christiania, London, Rome and Berlin, and has had a wide range of experience both in concert work and in teaching. He has a most pleasing personality. His most obvious fault is a tendency to kid you along, which must be allowed for in conversing with him. He has been particu- larly successful in obtaining musical talent of the very first order to appear here in the Artists ' course. He has certainly made valuable contributions to the life of the college. Evelyn Neil Fitch M E Assistant Professor of Voice, Musical History and Public School Music Although Miss Fitch has been with us only a .short time, we have learned to regard her as a friend of all the eirls. Sympathetic and kind, she is ever ready to help us in any way. As regards her musical ability, much can be said. She possesses a voice, remarkable for its fineness of quality and clearness of tone. These qualities, together with a keen ear, perfect placement of tones and wonderful breath control mark her as a good teacher and a real artist. Edward Frampton Kurtz Professor of Violin Mr. Kurtz is a musician of exceptional ability. He is reputed as being one of the finest violinists in the State. He possesses a marvelous technique blended with a complete mastery of intonation and interpre- tation. As a teacher he has few rivals. He has that rare gift of imparting knowledge to others and still keep- ing their friendship and respect. His personality is the keynote of his success as a teacher. Although Mr. Kurtz is the least known of any of the faculty, he is admired and respected by all. 35 Julian R. Williams Instructor in Pianoforte and Organ Prof. Williams hails from New Castle and if that famous city never did anything else than produce him, she has a good excuse for her existence. He isn ' t very large, but how he can make those pianos ring! Gifted with an exquisite touch and an un- usual interpretative ability, Mr. Williams is an art- ist of high rank. Whether in the conservatory or in recital, his work is always of the best, and it is a delight to hear him play. We do not know what at- traction there is for him in New Castle, but he snends a large part of his spare time in that village. However, we are always glad to see his smiling face, and to attend unto his instruction with all diligence, for we know that he is interested in our welfare. Violet A. Nethersole Professor of Pianoforte, Harmony and Apjircciation The change in the faculty of the College of Music brought to us Miss Nethersole. As a pianist. Miss Nethersole posses.ses a clean and fluent technique and she has a tone and touch of real beauty. She plays with the feeling and understanding of a real musi- cian. As an instructor in piano she ranks very high. Through her efficient course, one is able to lay the foundation of a successful musical career. In addi- tion to her musical abilities she is, as the girls ex- press it, an all-around sport. A. Byron Wimberley, A.B. Director of Athletics Director Wimberley came to Westminster last fall from W. J., where he had distinguished himself as a foot-ball star. His rep which of course had pre- ceded him here, was soon vouched for when we saw his work with his men on the gridiron. He certainly knows foot-ball, and as W. J. ' s coach said when our team held them to the score of 16-0, You will have to hand it to Wimberley — he has developed a line that knows how to drive. Coach Wimberley is a driver in whatever he at- tempts and the athletic teams that he is turning out this year savor strongly of his eternal push-and- fight-to-the-finish spirit. 36 1921 • J. A. C. McQuiSTON, D.D. Business Manager Dr. McQuiston took up his duties at Westminster the same year that the illustrious class of ' 21 entered into her hallowed halls of learning. From that day to this, he has been learning things, just as we have. Dr. McQuiston is the man with many troubles, and acriuainted with all the joys of issuing checks and collecting bills. Few per.sons can sympathize with him in his trials and tribulations unless they have been business managers. Yet in spite of all this, he is always smiling, cheerful, and willing to help any one he can. CoRiNNE Mercer College Secretary It is not always size that counts, and while Miss Mercer is not very big, she accomplishes twice as much as any ordinary person. She was, for several vears, connected with the Department of Music, but last year she was transferred to the main building, and many of us, who scarcely knew her before, had a chance to become acquainted with her. Busy as she invariably is, she never fails to give the students a smile and a cheery word of greeting. Che is ever at her work and ready to assist any one in need of her help. Dedicated to the memory of Mr. Perry Kuhn, who through his long and faithful service to the College, won a place in our hearts, and in the ANNALS of our HISTORY. 87 1921 Committees of the Faculty Courses Dr. Chas.

On that day the largest crowd of verdant freshies arri ed that the College had greeted for many a da) ' . We cannot here enumerate in detail all the things accomplished by the class of ' 20. At times we were rash and at times we were wrong, but we always pulled through in good shape. 1 f the girls ran otT the night before the flag rush to collect and organize a little pep to aid their heroes on the morrow, nothing serious happened, although they stayed so long that Miss Knott wept for her lost children. When they re- turned, like the Prodigal Son, they were welcomed back into the fold. The Presb} ' terian Church basement made an excellent place for a Freshman Frolic even though one member of our class was missing so that a feed to the Sophs would be due. We had no cause to worry over that, for we had won the flag rush from that same class in the fall. X ' ictorv in inter-class sports is not C)ur onlv attainment. No class ever has pub- lished an . ' rgo under conditions such as the girls of ' 20 faced. The boys were all in the Army and unable to help, and v ar prices were uncertain and threatening. United effort w on for them the victorv. Our classmates have alv ays stood together as loyal friends in the truest way. 1921 44 1Q91 - — 1921 Walter J. Skellie Class President The Junior Class Qualitas non Ouauiitai perhaps diaracteri cs the Juniors as well as any other expression. Entering, as we did. in the W ar . ear, when fellows were joining the arm ' instead of going to college, and having no S. A. T. C. as an attraction, our class has alwavs been small in numbers. The scarcity in numbers has, however, been o ercome by a unanimity of spirit and feeling of good comradeship through- out the class. To recount a catalogue of our achie emenl in inter-class affairs would be valueless. Defeats and victories have come to us; but in a larger sense all have been ictories, for they have led us to press forward to the nobler achieve- ments and higher ideals which constitute the true Westminster spirit. Throughout these three years, Westminster has done much for us, for we realize that the ideals which we have found here will be those that will guide and inspire us in the tasks ol later life. If we can take the highest ideals for which the Blue and White stands, and live them, as indixiduals, and as a class, under the Orange and Black here throughout next vear, and then take them out into the sorld and li e them, we can feel that our college life has meant to us what it should mean, and that, with these ideals before us, we cannot fail to succeed. — 1921 WILBERT L. ANDERSON New Wilmington, Pa. New Wilmington High Scientific Course Red as this gentleman is more familiarly known, is one of the shining lights in our class. As an ath- lete, he has done much to uphold the glory of West- minster. Foot-ball is his delight, and bucking the line, his specialty. So much confidence have the fellows put in him that they have chosen him captain for next season. Then, too, he is a steady, reliable forward on the basket-ball floor, where his consistent playing has been a great asset to the team. Red shows his business ability in managing the business end of the Argo. His unfailing good nature and sportsmanship have made him a friend of all, and we feel sure that the future has a large place for him. CHARLES BROWNLEE ASHTON Cambridge, N. Y. Cambridge High Scientific Course Chuck came to us from the land of milk and honey, better known as God ' s country. One bright September morn, he breezed into the sacred halls of Westminster — his chest covered with gold, silver, bronze, and tin medals, which he had won at various athletic meets in the environment of the Adirondacks. Chuck followed the footsteps of his brother in athletics here, and has won honorable distinction in track and foot-ball. In his first year he won the afi ections of the Hill- side maidens by serving them, and since that time he has endeavored to retain this affection by ti ' eat- ing numerous damsels to delicacies by the aid of a waste-paper ba.sket suspended by a cord. Although he is besieged by the Hillside beauties, he still remains true to the belle of Pumpkin Hook. OLIVE BRAHAM New Wilmington, Pa. New Wilmington High Scientific Course Big ideas, lots of push, determination in a little girl — that ' s Olive. She entered our class as a Freshman and has proved herself an essential fac- tor in the class of ' 21. Although she is rather quiet, and has a sweet disposition, she is perfectly capable of managing her own affairs, and standing up for her rights. She is not only a good student but a good basket-ball player and has already won her W. Olive has always been greatly interested in Bio- logy, but particularly in bird trips. She has devoted a great deal of her time to this, and we hope she may soon be able to solve her problem — i. e. Why is a Crow? 47 LILLIAN BROWN New Wilmington, Pa. New Wilmington High Class:cal Course What lack is there of any jocund thing. In glancing wit or glad imagining Capricious fancy may not find in thee? What would we do without our Lillian and her beaming smile, which radiates into every nook and corner of the class room? With a manner which wins her a place in every heart; a deep love for lit- erature — for who can mention a name of any length, size, shape or form that Lillian does not have some wild tale to relate about it; and with an imagina- tion which enables her to describe in minutest detail the characteristics of all her professors. Yet Lillian is accomplished along dramatical lines as well. As one of the star actresses in the -Junior ))lay, one can just hear (her) Petunia say, Now Simmy, as if she had been accustomed to use terms of endearment for years. Then— Here ' s to the girl with a heart and a smile That makes the bubble of life irorth while. HOWARD ARMSTRONG BUTLER Dayton, Pa. Dayton Normal Institute Scientific Course Here is our athletic editor. Three years ago, in the fall of 1917, he and his kid brother decided they wanted to know more about the world, so they climbed into the family Ford and came clear up from Day on to join us here in Westminster. The kid brother thought he wasn ' t big enough for our class so after a year ' s absence, we donated him to the class of ' 22, but we kept Howard for ourselves. We have made no mistake. A better student would be hard to find. Besides this, he is a sport, a gentle- man and a mighty fine classmate. Howard ' s only failings are movies and fussing, but we will not discriminate against him for these. When he gets older, he intends to be a foreign mis- sionary. We predict for him every success in his chosen profession. Our best wishes are with him. HARRIET COX New Wilmington, Pa. New Wilmington High Classical Course Harriet is exceedingly energetic. To see her rush- ing along the street, you would think her the busiesc girl in the world. Yet, notwithstanding, she still has time for many acts of kindness for her friends. We are glad that New Wilmington High School has so highly favored us as to send one of her vale- dictorians to join our class. In recitation she ranks among the foremost and her report card proves that she is really a bright and shining star. Books alone do not claim her attention, for she is well versed in the household arts, and, for the benefit of those whom it may concern, she is unrivaled in the matters of cake baking or salad making. In short, we deem Harriet a very valuable member of our class. - — 1921 DONALD B. CROWE New Wilming ' ton, Pa. New Wilminp:ton High Scientific Course croirK would sing instead of cair Hoiv aiceet thin world would he. This youth, small in stature but great in valor as Archimedes used to say often, is one of our most loyal class-mates. He is a Physicist of high rank. This h( demonstrated in his Sophomore year, for he proved conclusively to Dr. Oppitz that you can ' t drive a nail with a sponge, no matter how hard you soak it. Don is a snappy little forward on our .Junior basket-ball team and a hard, consistent play- er. He is al-so a society man, as well as a student and athlete. No matter whether it be a picnic, a party or a feed, he is always present, providing there is an Olive for him. MARION DANNHEISER Oil City, Pa. Music Here is the girl of whom we may safely assert the class is most proud. We are honored with her mem- ber.ship and appreciate her worth, already, to say nothing of the credit she is going to bring to West- minster in the future. When Boots puts her violin under her chin and turns those dark brown orbs in your direction, — well who could resist her? Besides being able to make her violin talk, she can talk, herself. She is always ready to offer original and clever ideas. As a co-ed her fame is well known and her con- quests are many and scattered, reaching from the University of Michigan to New Kensington. So here, Boots are our best wishes for your chosen career; but don ' t let it interfere with your happiness. EDGAR EDDY New Kensington, Pa. New Kensington High SciENTiF.c Course Eddy came to Westminster in the fall of ' 16 from New Kensington, where he gained a reputation as a student and an athlete. He at once made good here, and was a star end in foot-ball and a fast forward in basket-ball. In September of ' 17 he entered the army and was a member of the crack 320th Infantry. He was also a member of President Wilson ' s personal bodyguard in Paris. The only time Eddy ever was fussed in his life was when he shook hands with Gen- eral Pershing. After spending 20 months in the army, Westmin- ster looked good to Eddy and he came back to join the .Jolly Juniors. He played foot-ball this fall with the same old pep that made him a star in ' 16 and we are glad to have him back in Westminster as a member of the class of ' 21. 49 ELEANOR HERVEY Butler, Pa. Butler High Classical Course Oh! friends, beware of laughing brown eyes, hid- den demurely by downcast lashes. It ' s a sure sign that mischief is abroad, and surely no one enjoys a frolic as well as Eleanor. But this is only one side of her nature. There is another — a deeper one, in which faithfulness to work, and a conscientious thor- oughness in all that she does, predominates. Eleanor numbers among her friends all those with whom she comes in contact. However, we will not mention any specific case among men, for it would be hard to pick out just the right one. After all is said and done, there is iust one phrase which seems suited to her; that is — To know her is to love her. MARION FREED ' Bridgeville, Pa. Bridgeville High Scientific Course She can dance, she can sing, she can do most any- thing. If necessary, she can even be dignified and strike fear into the hearts of all the Freshmen. Most of the time, however, she is bubbling over with en- thusiasm, ready to lead her class-mates and friends into all sorts of mischief and fun. Last year Marion was undecided as to her major. Co-education and Chemistry both pulled at her heart strings. This year the problem has been happily solved. She is taking her course in Co-education through a Corre- spondence School, and at the same time is working diligently for her B.S. degree, never so happy as when she is handling glass. Success to you, Marion, in both your degrees. THOMAS W. HOOD Pittsburgh, Pa. South High Scientific Course Back in the autumn days of ' 17, a tall and slender youth appeared on the college campus. No one knew him, nor could anyone get near enough to find out who he was. Everybody knows him now, — just Tom, and anybody about this town that hasn ' t seen him surely has heard him. Tom is an independent fellow, with a philosophy of life all his own, and he lives it, too. How strange! Women, beware! At school he is an all around college man; a mech- anical genius; a photographer; a chemist; an artist, and a movie magnate. We don ' t know what Tom intends to do, but we need not worry, for his personality, and the effer- vescent outflow of the King ' s English from his oral cavity will see to that. 60 1921 GRIER M. KERR Candor, Pa. Robinson High Scientific Courss Shorty is the Tom Thumb of the class of ' 21. What he lacks in size he makes up in his studious qualities. Through his father, brother, and sisters, Vvho are Westminster products, he knows more col- lege traditions than all the rest of the class. Shorty never passed through the green Fre.shman .stage, the smart Sophomore stage, and the love-sick Junior stage, for he has always been the quiet and reserved student that he now is. His greatest fault is having nothing to do with co-education; his greatest virtue is doing his work well. ALICE ELIZABETH LIGO Volant, Pa. New Wilmington High Classical Course She has a shy appearance, and at times she is re- served, but those who know her well would never ac- cuse her of being quiet. Sometimes she does not have much to say, but that little circle of intimate friends Vvho know her well, are usually in gales of laughter, at her witty remarks, and quaint way of finding the humorous side of everything. She excels in all her classes, but she delights es- pecially in Latin and Greek. Always prepared her- self, she is ever ready to help her less fortunate sis- ters. She lives in the country, and we see little of her outside of school hours, but she makes many firm friends in the time she is with us. EVERETT V. MARTIN Volant, Pa. Volant High Scientific Course Someone called him Runt, and Runt it has al- ways been. Runt is hard to describe, because of the many things that could truly be said of him. Last fall he made his appearance on the gridiron in foot- ball togs, and because of the good showing he made, he bids fair to fill one of the vacancies in the line during the coming season. Runt is fond of girls and is always found with at least one. He always has a smile on his face, and his laugh may be heard reverberating through the building at almost any time. Runt gets good grades, but we have reason to believe that he does not burn the midnight oil. He is a good sport and a loyal member of the class of ' 21. 51 GEORGE ELMER MARTIN Volant, Pa. Volant High Scientific Course George Elmer Martin, commonly known as Abe, first came to Westminster in the fall of ' 15, but left school in the spring of ' 17 in answer to Uncle Sam ' s call for volunteers. Abe was in the service for 27 months. During this time he was gassed and wounded. He served in France, and also in the Army of Occupation in Ger- many, and at the time of his discharge he was ser- geant major. Abe naturally returned to Westminster and in addition to his regular studies here, he has been a very efficient cheer leader and has repeatedly gained his objective in going over the top at the Hill- side. We welcome him into the class of ' 21 and wish him great success in future years. PAUL MECHLIN New Wilmington, Pa. New Wilmington High Scientific Course This good-natured, elongated member of our class joined us from out of the wilds, surrounding Volant. A graduate of the local high school, they turned him over to us with a record brilliant and dazzling (?). His Ichabod Crane-like figure may often be seen navigating over the campus in search of some one to whom he may divulge the latest dope from the Hillside. Mechy has sworn off co-education, this year, no doubt in order to pursue his studies (?) to better advantage. In spite of his studies, he is al- ways ready for any excitement and enters into it whole heartedly, whether it is a game of ball or swiping ice cream. Here ' s to our Mechy. May his shadow never grow less. ALICE McBRIDE Coraopolis, Pa. Coraopolis High Scientific Course Does she really mean it, or is she only kidding ? Sometimes it is most awfully hard to decide when one is looking into those teasing blue eyes. However, there is always method in Alice ' s madness, whether it be in carrying out some newly hatched scheme, or a long planned project. Eleanor ' s best pal, a sympathetic friend of broken-hearted Sophomore boys, a professional kid- der, an expert fudge maker, a Biology shark, an ene- my of mice, a good student, a champion of first floor activities, a radical evolutionist, all of these and more, mixed with pep and common sense, is Alice, one of the loyal members of the class of ' 21. 52 19 21 NELLIE McCORMICK Coraopolis, Pa. Music Open your dictionary and find all the synonyms for capability and loveliness and you will have in a nut-shell the characteristics of Nellie. The very heart of Nellie ' s life is the desire to cultivate her musical talent. No difficulty is too insurmountable nor any task too great to daunt her. Around her ambition there plays a beautiful spirit of delicate taste and temperament. The essence of modesty pervades her life and keeps her from all but the cheeriest and kindest of traits. Her black eyes never overlook a friend nor fail to see where she may help some one either by word or deed. Our class was truly glad when Nellie joined us this year and we are glad to be able to claim her not only as a friend but as a class- mate. Nellie, we will be counting on your unfailing energy to round us all up for reunions and your own talented self to entertain us, when the rest of us have slowed up a bit and have lost our charm. .JOHN McFADDEN New Athens, 0. New Athens High Scientific Course Although Jack only joined us this year, we have in him one of our most faithful workers in all class and school matters. He spent two years in Franklin Col- lege before the war, and was one of the first to leave school and join the army. He spent over a year in France and fought in the St. Mihiel and Argonne drives. Maybe Jack liked the French madamoiselles, but he does not have much to say on the subject. Al- though he is one of the so-called quiet guys, that is, until you get acquainted with him, he is always ready for a jolly good time of any kind. We are glad to have him with us and wish him his full share of good luck. JOHN McMORRIS Argyle, N. Y. Argyle High Classical Course In the fall of 1917, there came into our midst an- other paragon from the Empire State. Mac is rather musically inclined. Very soon after his ar- rival he serenaded the Hillside at the request of the Sophomores. Mac valiantly upheld the noble class of ' 21 in debate, both in Freshman and Sophomore years. He is fond of homeopathic treatment, even taking Greek and co-education in small doses. Al- together we consider Mac a very valuable member ( f our class. For he is just the quiet kind Whose natures never vary, Like streams that keep a Suininer mind Snow-hid in January. 53 HAZEL M. PHIPPS Sharon, Pa. Sharon High Classical Course Angels are feinted fair to look like tJiee It must have been on account of the war that the girl with curly hair and irresistable dimples was not discovered until her Sophomore year, her first year being- devoted mostly to her studies. With the begin- ning of her second year, however, she immediately stepped into the limelight by becoming intimately connected with the College Motion Picture Coipora- tion. Her words they need the money seemed to carry lots of weight, for the movie audiences increas- ed in size. Her Junior year has brought added duties but most of her spare time is divided between a cer- tain basket-ball star ( — uhm — ) and a little interest in a rival college. She can kid also, just as thor- oughly as she does her Greek, French and Spanish, and if it were not for that tell-tale little twinkle in her eye, she could almost convince dumb sphinxes to her way of thinking. She is planning to earn a mastei ' s degree at Columbia; but, judging from the tone of her oration, we are led to think that The By-products of Education hold even, greater happi- ness in store for her. DOROTHY RALSTON New Wilmington, Pa. Kittanning High Scientific Coursz From the High School of Kittanning came this gentle maid to join us, and she came and worked among us while we stood and gazed with wonder at her calm, untroubled progress through the storms of mathematics ; gazed with open-eyed amazement when she passed all Quick ' s term finals. Without question, Dot is brainy. As an actress, she is splendid. Who remembers not iVIinerva and her fear of bombs and villyuns ? Dorothy is more than brainy. She ' s a good sport always ready for just anything that happens. In Y. W. she ' s a leader, working hard and without ceasing. Dot is honest, strong and loyal, such a friend as satisfies one; fine and true in every detail, never fail- ing when she ' s needed. J. IRVINE REANEY Sharon. Pa. Hickory Twp. High . 9 . 9 . 9 . Reaney once belonged to the ranks of 1920, but after spending some time in Uncle Sam ' s army, came back in time to join us in our Sophomore year. This year, however, he has decided to return from whence he came, and .so he now really belongs to the Seniors. As a student, Reaney is a hard worker, and his ability of doing thoroughly whatever he starts se- cured for him the position of Editor of the Argo, which speaks volumes of praise for his literary abil- ity. His connection with the college book store helps to make him one of the best known fellows in school ; even to the girls, who find that this is the only way they can ever get acquainted with him, for his trips to the Hillside are few and far between. But, O Shaw ! what more can we say. 1921 SKYLES E. RUNSER Sharpsville, Pa. Sharpsville High Scientific Course Skyles, more familiarly known as Buck comes down the pike from Sharpsville, a product of that suburban village which is connected with our re- nowned city of knowledge by the proverbial hoodie- bug the Regardless Sharpie. Buck played a stellar game at center on the varsity foot-ball team last fall. His ability for fol- lowing the ball was well demonstrated at Geneva, where he recovered the pigskin six times in succes- sion. He played a hard constant game throughout the season. Edwin is registered in the scientific course; however, he does not believe in neglecting anything that goes to make up the all-around col- lege man, so he also carries a heavy course in co- education. RUTH SELEY New Wilmington, Pa. New Wilmington High Classical Course Civeet and modest she goes her way. Always ready to do and say The kindest things in the kindest way. Ruth belongs to the group of students known as the happy bunch of Town Girls. She is unfailing- ly sweet-tempered ; it takes a lot to make her angry, and, even then, she cannot remain so. She is a loyal member of the class and often dispels our gloom by her smiling and happy countenance. Although a pensive student, yet Ruth is ever ready to contribute her share toward a good time; for, who can forget that taffy pull at Ruth ' s, the muddy roads, the missing overshoes, and those cherry pies (?). Then here ' s to Ruth, and may future success be heis. WALTER J. SKELLIE Argyle, N. Y. Argyle High Classical Course Walter comes from the real state, New York. He is always ready and willing to uphold the good qualities fo that state. Nevertheless, he came to Pennsylvania in the fall of ' 17 to join the class of ' 21 in this illustrious college. It was not long after his arrival at Westminster that Skellie showed what red hair and a determined will could do. A peppier student is haid to find. Debating, co-education, Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, singing and base-ball are a few of his accomplishments. This year Skellie is our class president. Last, but not least, Walter has volunteered to live a life of missionary service in some foreign field. 55 FRANCES VERNER Coiaopolis, Pa. Coraopolis High Scientific Course A social bee is our Fran. Equally popular with the fellows and girls, she has hosts of friends. She is a midget in size, but her wonderfully winning ways make one forget her diminutive stature. She must have been in Egypt, for her thoughts are as hidden as the Sphinx ' s. We believe also that she must h.ave come home through Goats Island for she does like to kid. Her literary abilities will be appreciated by all who read this Argo, for she was literary editor. She also spends much time gathering Holcads for our weekly college paper. Her chief hobby is collecting souvenirs, and a glimpse at her picture gallery verifies the assumption that some things are worth remembering. She is human, so she must have faults, but even her closest friends have not been able to discover them. FRANCES H. WALLACE Mercer, Pa. Mercer High Slippery Rock Normal Classical Course Her voice was soft, gentle and loic, — An excellent thing in woman. This tall, dark-haired maid entei ' ed our class in our •Junior year. She was graduated from Slippery Rock in ' 19, and then set sail for Westminster. Her unfailing good humor and happy smile soon pro- claimed her a true member of the class of ' 21. Fran is naturally quiet, but she is fond of a good time, and enjoys life as she finds it. We regret that she lias not been with us during our entire college life, for she is a good student and a loyal class-mate. MARY E. WALLACE Mercer, Pa. Mercer High Class.cal Course There are very few of the faculty who do not ap- preciate Mary. She looks very quiet and demure, but — oh my, what a world of knowledge she has stor- ed away in that busy brain of hers! She has the dis- tinction of never being known to fail in a recitation. Mary has another distinction of historical import- ance; she is the wife of Napoleon. She has one weakness, a decided liking for red hair. Somehow we feel confident that Mary will attain her ideals. 66 Our Aspirations Walter J. Skellie To uphold the Senior colors iMar ' U. Wallace To keep Fran quiet George E.

Then were ue made aware of our ' erdanc ' . inter-class activities resulted in defeats in Sophomore-I-reshman debate and tlie flag rush. But basket-ball anil the b ' resh- man 1-rolic were the initial successes of ' 22. The fall f)f nineteen nineteen finds us back with imabated enthusiasm. (Campus scraps were terminated by the (lag rush, which was a ictor ' for our glorious Blue and Gold. This was celebrated hy a parl ' given by the girls on Turnace Mill. The Old Westminster Spirit has brought us thus far on our happy colL ,e career and we are glad to trust it to bring us to the anticipated days of dignit - and wisdom. ' 22 being represented in everv part of college life, we can salely say that we are true Westminsterites. 60 — 1921 M cC rea r - — Evans — W ' i le v ' — M i 1 1 e r — Pa i ' ke r — J ami son Kier — Donaldson — Bell — McKirahan — Ale Knight — Popp Sowash — W ' elsch — Krause — Mc( lure — Anderson — I-arrelly Hayward — Kenned) ' — McClellan — Stewart — Paff (dements — Tait — Mc Knight — Porter — .McKen ie — .McDowell Wilson — 1 r ine — Harbison — Paxton — Gross — Gar in — Duff Byers — Nesbil — Anderson — Campbell — Butler 1921 1921 63 1921 Ted LiTTELL Class Preside n t Freshman Class History One of the largest Freshman classes in the history of this institution assembled in the college chapel, for the first time, on September 18, lOlQ. ( hief among our man ariecl emotions was a deep sense of our greenness and insignificance. Our numbers gave us courage, however, and ere long our nights were spent in hunting for sophomores. Soon our search was rewarded and on the old campus occurred a light that would ha e made the Battle of Waterloo look pale. The Sophs put up a good tight but sufX ' rior numbers told, and before the clock struck one. e ery op- ponent was stretched upon the ground. The memorv of this will alwavs be dear to us for it marketl our fir t x ictorx ' ) er our bitter ri als, the Sophomores. .Moreover, among our treasured relics mav be found the posters for w hich the same Sophs ainl ' sacrificed so much. The fates seemed to have declared that we were not to win in the flag rush, and although we struggled aliantlv, our efforts were of no a ail. Later in the year, however, we evened things up by winning the annual I-reshman-Sophomore debate. In the line of athletics we have reason to be proud of our record. On the grid- iron the Freshmen did excellent work, several of them making their letters. On the baskt-ball floor we were well represented also. Three of our men had regular positions on the varsity. We are also well represented in the glee clubs, in the chorus and orchestra, on the debating teams and in various other college acti ities. Looking into the future we see great thing in store for old Westminster, and you may rest assured that in bringing these to pass, the class of ' 23 will not be found wanting. 1921 Morrison— McGaffic—Lockhart — Ellis— Wright— Miller Lujton — Fornof — Randall — Klinesmith — McBaird — Crowe Pollock — Cummings — Mitcheltree — McLenahan — Morrison Sherrard — Scrogs — Thompson — Armstrong — McDowell — Fullerton Bailey — Moore — Cooper — Gilliland — Russell — Veach — Rose Fawcett — Blackburn — Bradshaw — Williams — Clepper — Scott .

A. is just as much a part of Westminster as the foot-ball team, the basket-ball team, the Glee Club or any other of its activities. Through it, the new girls, even before their arrival at The Hillside, learn of various w ays and customs of their approaching new life. The first week of college, the Associations, in dif- ferent ways, help each student to become acquainted with the other student s, — old and new. At Thanksgiving time, the Y. W. always affords some kind of entertain- ment to keep the girls from being homesick, and the only formal dance of the year, known as the Easter Hop, is held under the very careful supervision of the Y. W. (?) Ladies onlv, please. Don ' t crowd. Our Association leads in all spiritual activities, and the manner in which the business end of it has been carried on has been given special mention by the Presi- dent of the Board, who was present last year at the installation of new officers. 74 -1921 The Y. M. Cabinet Y. M. C. A. The students of the world today face a task such as never confronted their fore- fathers of the intellectual realm. The minds of men everywhere are torn with con- flicting opinions. Greed and distrust seem to be the dominant motives actuating many of us todav in our dealings with our fellow-men. The results of such ideals are being splendidlv illustrated in the Old World today and the germs of disorder have taken deep root even in our own country. To the university and college students the challenge comes to throw themselves into the breach with their highl - trained minds and bodies and by word and deed guide the thought of the world into safer and more quiet channels. To do this they must have a motive, an inspiration, and a wa - to stem the tide of lawlessness. The only method or power that can successfull - cope with the world ' s need is the re- ligion of Jesus Christ. No man-made remedy can begin to measure up to the requirements. And the aim of the Y. iVl. C. . . in estminster is to disseminate the principles of Jesus Christ in the hearts of the student body. In order to live His life so as to impress our fellow-men, we must come to know llim and must be actuated by His ideals. The Y. M., by means of the Sabbath morning Bible Class and weekly Tues- tlay evening meetings, seeks to give ever} ' student a knowledge of Christ and the manhood to be derived from knowing Him. The capstone of service we try to im- press upon each one as the highest motive that can possibl - impel an - lo ' al student of Old We ' minster. 1921 The Student Volunteers Twenty-seven students of Westminster have declared it to be their purpose it God permit to use their lives for Christ in foreign fields. Feeling no call but the challenge of the unsa ed millions, they rejoice in the hope of spending their lives where they will count for most in (Christ ' s kingdom. Westminster has been fortunate in having a large number of returned mission- aries speak in the open Volunteer meetings. They have also been favored with two visits from Miss Caroline Sanborne and have been encouraged by many helpful isuggestions. At their regular meeting, Mondav evening, the Volunteers are study- ing Fosdick ' s The Manhood of the Master. The watchword of the Student Volunteer Organization of North America is The Evangelization of the World in this Generation. One generation has passed since that watchword was chosen. The people of this generation are the only ones u e can reach — the only ones for whom we are responsible. I low are the Christian Students of America going to meet this challenge? 76 1921 — - — 1921 Men ' s Glee Club One of the big additions to Westminster ' s plan of advertisement this spring has been the Men ' s Glee Club. A few years ago, an organization similar to this created much interest to those men in school who devoted some attention to music, but could not be enrolled in the regular course because of heav ' academic work. Thus for the duration of the war all such attractions were suspended for lack of candi- dates. It has been with much success and appreciation that Prof. Nielsen, Director of the College of Music, has renewed the spirit and reorganized this phase of school activity. He worked hard with his candidates and too much praise cannot be given him for his et ' orts to keep Westminster up to the standard in more wa -s than one. Like everything done in the Westminster Wa ' , the Men ' s Glee Club was a huge success, which came onl ' out of the spirit and co-operation put int o it by the fellows. A ten-day trip was made to Pittsburgh and vicinity during the month of April. It was tendered by the administration as a tribute not only to the men who made the Glee Club possible but also to the hundreds of Blue and White alumni who are alwa} ' s glad to listen to a Westminster production of any sort. We hope that this line of work has had a new birth as have other of our school activities and that it shall not be overlooked u hen we shall see a New Westminster. ■ 78 — -1921 Girls ' Glee Club Hark! Whence come those sweet strains of music which float over the college campus on Moncla ' and Wednesday evenings, each week? They are produced by the College Girls ' Glee Club, organized under the direction of Prof. Nielsen. It is composed of 28 girls. Miss Gertrude Wilson is president and Miss Lois McClure is secretary. The girls worked hard to make the Glee Club a success. After Easter vacation the Glee Club made its annual trip to towns in the vicinitv of the College and to the Pittsburgh district. These trips are intended, especiallw to advertise the College, but the girls derive a great deal of pleasure and instruction from them. 79 1921 80 — 1921 Artists ' Course The Artists ' Course thi ear has been one of unusual ciualitw ' I ' hrough Direc- tor Nielsen ' s inlluence, artists of exceptional talent ami wide experience have been brought before college audiences.

Argo Benefit Course On Wednesday evening, f-ebruary eighteenth, the College of Music gave a con- cert for the benefit of the 1Q21 .Argo. The concert was well attended and was a great success. The Junior Class appreciates ver - much the kindness of the faculty of the conservatory in helping in a good cause. — 1921 Ensemble Playing Ensemble playing is receiving much attention this ear. Under the instruction of Professor Kurtz, t he class is developing a high grade of efTiciencN ' . There are about a dozen in the class this term, and it is expected that by another year many more will be added to that number. 82 1921 Junior Orations Since college affairs are once more being run according to the normal pre-war schedule, the orations of the class of 1921 were delivered in the College Chapel in a very formal and fitting manner. The productions were of exceptional quality and showed much preparation and training. The following is a list of the orators and their subjects and the dates of their delivery: January 16, 1920 The Old Order Changeth Walter J. Skellie National Blind Spots Marion Freed Oratory, the Character Builder Howard Butler The American Scholar Frances Wallace Americanization Charles Ashton The Great American Frances Verner January 20, 1920 The Fate of Reformers Mary Wallace The Rise of Industrial Democracy Wilbert Anderson What Does America Owe to the Immigrant?

Member of the Senior Class. - — 1921 ' Prof. Pepp JUNIOR PLy Y, OLD FIRST CIIl RCII. FRIDAY FA E, DECEMBER 12 On the evening of December 12 the theatrical talent of the Junior Class exposed itself in a comedy pla} ' entitled Professor Pepp. Cast Prof. Peterkin Pepp Walter I. Skellie Mr. C. B. Button Buster Thomas W. Hood How ard Green Everett V. Martin Sim Batty Wilbert L. Anderson Peddler Benson Howard A. Butler Noisy Fleming Paul B.

Frances Verner Vivian Drew, a college belle Hazel Phipps Irene Van Hilt, a social leader Eleanor Harvey Caroline Kay, a happy little Freshman Harriet Cox Also students, co-eds, curtain pullers, glim dousers, property men, pseudo glee club, etc. The movie house shone in all its glory on that evening. The time was 8 o ' clock. .A so far admiring audience thronged unto the hall ' s utmost recesses. All at once the hall became dark (just like for the movies). The none too sure foot-lights sparkled in all their glory. L ' p rolled the ponderous curtain (with all the weight of Mt. Vesusvius thereon). The first act ended with the lusty words of Button- buster lingering in the audience ' s ear. (Note — It is not customary for the gentle- men to acquire refreshments during the intermissions, so the gentle men kindly kept their seats. Act in effect Jul ' 1, 1 19.) Let us pass over the rest of the play. It certainly v as well brought out. The part of Professor Pepp was very ably taken by Mr. Skellie. All the cast deserve credit for their work. The Junior class wishes to thank Miss McKnight for her able assistance in coaching. — 1921 T. K. A. and Men ' s Debate The Tau Kappa Alpha is a national honorar - fraterniu . for those who have represented a college in an intercollegiate debate or oratorical contest. The W estminster chapter has the following members. Dr. Wallace. Prof. Moses. Reed. Reaney, Evans, Kistler, Gilfillian. and Skellie. .Men ' s debate this ear was very late getting started, because of the many things going on in college, and so we were handicapped for time, from the start. .After the tr outs. the following squad v.as chosen: Reed. R. Foster. Evans Kist- ler, Burton. Hoelzle, S. Foster, and Skellie. . great deal of credit is due Prof. .Moses for arranging a schedule under difficulty, and also for the hard work he did in the training of the teams. On the nineteenth of .March, our .Affirmative team, consisting of Reed ( Capt. ). Burton, and Kistler. lost 2-1 in a hard battle to the University of W. ' a. On the tv.enty-third. our Negative team, consisting of Evans (Capt.), R. Foster, and Skellie succeeded in winning a 2-1 decision over XiElB T£i the University of Pittsburgh. The question was, Resolved, that the Principle of the Closed Shop (with open unions) be adopted in .American In- dustries. The outlook for next season is good. .Most of our experienced men will be back and with more time for preparation, debate should be a great success in the future. 86 1921 Girls ' Debate The girls ' debate team, having returned from w ar, is once more an acti e mem- ber of Westminster life. Considering the inexperience of its members and the speed with which the team w as formeel, the girls made a ver - creditable showing and have set the girls ' debating upon a firm foundation in Westminster. Although the - were defeated by West X ' irginia I ' niversitN- this vear, the - hope to come back, and come back hard next ear. Thev have awakened interest in debating and we promise the Argo they will be a sure go next time. Sophomore Team Freshman-Sophomore Debate An interesting event every year is the Freshman-Sophomore Debate. It occurs after the beginning of the second semester, being held this year on February 11. 1920, The debate helps to create a healthy class spirit and gives some practice to the members of the lower classes vvho wish to try out for the varsity debate. Try- outs are held, and the respective teams are picked by judges from the faculty. The members of the v inning team have the honor of having their names engraved on a loving cup donated for this purpose. The men composing the Freshman team this year were; Miller, Parker, and Foster. The following men upheld the honor of the Sophomore class: Evans, Mc- Knight, and Byers. An interesting debate was given on the question: Resolved, that federal legislation should be enacted, providing for the compulsory arbitration of all labor disputes. 88 1921 Freshman Team The Freshmen upheld the affirmative side of the question, and the Sophomores had the opposition. This year we were fortunate to secure as judges Attorneys J. Roy Mercer and Cl de Gibson of New Castle, and Rev. Neale, pastor of the local L ' nited Presbyterian ( .hurch. The affirmative team had found some countries where this plan worked successfully, but the negative side maintained that these countries were too small to warrant the adoption of the plan in the United States. Many disagreements between capital and labor have been settled by arbitration, and the upholders of the affirmative propose to make this a general means for set- tling such disputes just as private disputes are settled in the courts. There was a moment of suspense, when the vote of one judge had been cast for the afiirmative, and one for the negative, but the final ballot decided the debate in fa or of the affirmative, and the Freshmen went home rejoicing. Le Cercle Francais Since the war. I-rench has become very popular and there has been a very great in- crease in inteiest in Le Cercle Francais at Westminster. It is more popular than ever this ear. and we have put on many good programs. The cercle has again pledged it- self to support the two little French orphans, as it has done for several years. This year v,e have become affiliated with the Federa- tion of French Alliances of the L nited States and Canada. In doing this West- minster has joined with the best colleges and universities. The aim of the society is, of course, to make the members of the French classes more familiar with the French language and customs. There have been some very good talks this year on France and her people, given by the boys u ho were there during the war. Besides singing French songs, we have as an aid in pronunciation, a phonograph which be- longs to the French Department and which is available for use in the society. The keen interest which is shown this year promises well for the future of Le Cercle Francais. The officers of the societ}- are shown in the picture. May Day 1919 Truly significant of the ()kl estminster Spirit was the pageant of that name presented with the annual May Da) ' celebration on May 31. 1919. The procession, led by three riclers, Miss PafT, Miss Gilky, and iMiss Crawford, left the Hillside at six-thirty. The queen-elect, Miss Gertrude Wilson, and the ex- queen. Miss Eleanor Braham. were followed by the Senior girls and the dancers in attractive costumes. The pageant was divided into three episodes. The first depicted Westminster ' s students before the war, interested in all college work and activities with Dr. Feru- son. tvpif ing her ideals. Their studies were interrupted by visions of joy and youth represented by groups of dancers and the Firefly Dance by Marian Dann- heiser. In the midst of this happiness and contentment, appeared the Spirit of Liberty, beckoning to the youths. Many responded, dropped their books and followed her. The second episode opened with a military solo dance by 1-lelen McKenzie, fol- lowed by the drill of the boys in khaki and then their departure for war. During the third episode, Westminster ' s daughters were shown, bravel} ' sup- porting her ideals and traditions. Upon the return of her sons from war and, amid greetings and the renewing of friendships, there was a retrospective moment of great solemnity as Miss Ruth Stewart came forward and placed a v,reath beneath the flag as a tribute to those who made the supreme sacrifice. Following the pageant the May queen was crowned and the old-time happiness returned with another group of dancers. The Senior girls then wound the May- pole successfully and the festivities came to an end. = = — 1921 Pageantry and Playground This ear a new spirit was added to our Westminster, one in a Pageantry- Pla ground Course. It has really been a Pla - Course, for we ha e had lots of fun with our work. First we inxited all our childhood friends in the form of faiiies, elves, goblins, ghosts, giants and dwarfs to visit us. The) ' came and brought with them all their best kiddie stories which we learned. In fact these old acquaintances so filled us with their spirit that we each told a most astonishingly original story. We were again rejuvenated in our games on the Public School Playground. Each day we met the youngsters and were refreshed by the clever sayings and un- bounded imagination combined with the delights of childhood over teacher play- ing too. More joy was in store for us in the second semester with our farceso folk danc- ing. Some of our farces were Three Dear Friends, The Truth About Jane, How the Story Grew. Each one of us coached a farce to be presented and in this way got actual experience. We must seem queer at folk dancing! Our pianist almost has convulsions when she watches us, but she is only a Kidder so we don ' t mind her. It ' s fun e en though we are not Pavlowas, — as yet! Just ou wait until May day and you will see the benefit of our hours spent under rigid discipline of our stern (?) teacher! We made our first public appearance in Chapel soon after the Easter holida ' S with an evening ' s program. We supposed the audience liked us for the - laughed enough. If you want to come along, hang on. It will make you grow ten years younger! May the Pageantry Class live happily ever after. 93 —1921- — 95 1921 The Argo Staff Editor-in-Chief J.

Last year on account of the w ar, the girls of the class of 1920 took charge of its publication, and proved that the fair sex are always ready for any emergency. The Argo is edited by the Junior class, but aims to portray the life and activities of the whole college. The publication of the Argo requires a great deal of work, but the Juniors are willing to expend every effort to advance the cause of Old Westminster. The following per- sons have filled the position of Editor-in-Chief; 1904 Leigh Alexander 1913 J. R. Turnbull 1906 R. S. McCown 1914 W. C Moore 1907 J. F. Shrader 191 D. M A4cOuiston 1908 J. C.

Reaney College Bulletin The College Bulletin is issued quarterlv during the school year. It contains up- to-date informatif)n concerning the administration, faculty, student activities and courses. College Catalogue The College Catalogue is published once every vear and furnishes detailed in- formation of courses of study, faculty, college rules and regulations, expenses and a complete student roll. It serves as a helpful guide to new students and is also in- N ' aluable to older students. 100 = 1921 The Holcad Since its first appearance in 1888, the 1 lolcad has survived several changes in form. Issued first as a literary bi-monthlw later as a monthly, it served onl ' as a receptacle into which a few shining lights of the college literary would cast their productions. A need had been felt for some time of a student publication w hich would get the progress of the school in all of its activities across to the alumni, the faculty and the undergraduate body. However, it was not until 1014 that this need caused any definite action. Through the efforts of the staff at that particular time, the Holcad was changed to its present form of a weekly newspaper. It imme- diatelv took its place in rank with other college weeklies, and is now a very effi- cient means of communication between the college and all those interested. At present the I lolcad is co-operating with the advertising department in its publicity campaign and aims through its columns to place the worth and position of West- minster before a larger number of people. The Community Lyceum Bureau The lecture course presented this year was one enjoyed by all, young and old, student and faculty. The program according to custom was carried out in the L nited Presbyterian C hurch and each night found the seats well filled. The season opened on No ember 2(). 1019, with a ' erv entertaining concert, presented by the New York City (chamber Music Societ} ' . Following this, on Feb- ruar - 3, IQ20, Dr. Lincoln McConnell delivered his lecture entitled The Guy That Delivers the Goods. On February 10. Dr. Edward Amherst Ott lectured on Vic- tory. March 8, Edwin Bush, magician, mysteriousl - entertained us with The Other Man ' s Game. March 22, Dr. Marion Burton, President of L ' ni ersit - of Minnesota, lectured on The Demands of Democracy. On May 16 we heard the closing number of the season, which was given hy the elch Glee Singers. 101 1921 Devolution of a Freshman 1. L.o in the ninth month of the ' ear A. D. ' 10 there did ap- pear in our niid t a -outh of marvelous attainments, a IoulI voice, and a lo e for girls. 2. Nothing abashed by his Nouth and greenness he at once began to show us how a co-educational school should be run; hav- ing a great liking for the fair sex, he began without partiality to show them all a good time. 3. This coupled with the noise and advice continually is- suing from his august presence soon attracted notice. 4. Me was e ed at first with toleration b ' his more sedate sch()ol-m;ites, hoping he would improve. 5. Advice and counsel having no effect, mutterings grew into action. 6. One morning the Freshman found himself minus his hair, plus a bath, and well acc|uainted with a paddle. The way of the transgressor is hard. (With apologies to the Ilolcad) 102 1921 Student Council Committee The Student Council Committee is a comparatively new organization among us, but one that is playing an important role in the development of Westminster. In February of last year, some of the fellows in a discussion after a Y. M. meeting, reached the conclusion that criticism would not get us anywhere but that if we got together and pushed, we could accomplish something for the college. A committee from the two Christian Associations was appointed to formulate a plan, and on March 10, 1919, the first Studen t Council Committee was elected by the student body. A series of student mass meetings followed, and the Pep Movement was launched. The Student Council Committee aims to stimulate the Old Westminster Spirit, to connect the student body with the Alumni and the Board, to co-operate with the Administration, and to make Westminster the most efficient college in the country for a student body of four hundred. House Government of the Hillside House government at the Hillside is a very good example of representative student rule. It has a well organized executive body, composed of a president, who is a Senior girl, and representatives from each class. Proctors are elected bi-monthlv and their duty is to aid the house committee in their anti-noise campaigns. They are very efficient aides, too, for — woe to the offender who maketh a noise during quiet hour — for she is immediately ' sshed ' into silence and black-marked if she committeth a second offense. lUf) 1921 p. E. Rosz, M(i)Kigcr The Foot ' Ball Season of 1919. T he foot-hall season of l l -) is one that W e.Uniinster can aKva s be jiistl - proud of, and will he remembered as a ver ' successful season. W hen (!oach W imberle) arrived here, at the opening of school, the foot-ball situation did not seem to be at its best, on account of the equipment being delayed and only a few of the old letter men back, but nevertheless there were many new recruits to try their skill. .After several days of worry and work. Coach Wimberley had most of the equip- ment here and the squad headed for some hard, stiff practice, as he had only ten da s till our first game. After more than a week of severe workouts, much to the chagrin of the squad, he had a team ready for our first game with the University of West Virginia. We lost the game by a large score, but all through the game there was that same old tight and spirit that has upheld Westminster all these ears. The team came home determined to hold W. J. the following Saturday, which they did with a score of 16-0. Some of the best foot-ball critics gave the team credit for play- ing better ball than did W. 6i J. most of the game. The next game was v, ith Thiel, and w e won b ' a 14-7 score. The squad now becoming hardened to the game, practiced all the next week hard and steady to take o er Geneva, which is one of our largest games. A large crowd followed the team to Beaver Falls and stood in the rain all afternoon to watch the game. The field was in very bad condition on account of so much rain and mud, that vou might say that the game was played on punts, but with that never say die spirit. The final outcome of the score was 0-0. On November 7, the team left for Buffalo, N. Y., to play the University of Buffalo, and, as it is the custom to beat them, we did, ending in a 6-0 decision. The next few weeks meant hard practice and real foot-ball, as the last two games of the season were at home, with Allegheny and Grove City. The Allegheny game entied in another tie score, but the two teams were evenly matched, and it was an exciting game to watch. The last game of the season was lost to Grove City by a score of 6-0, it being onl - their luck and hard fighting that won the game. The manner in which the team distinguished itself on all occasions, and the good, clean, hard fighting, ne er dying spirit with w hich they pla} ed not onl ' made the season a success, but made them famous in the College .Athletic Circles. There were few cripples. this year and much credit is due to Coach Wimberley, who so ably coached the team. We should also not fail to acknowledge and give credit to the second string men who took all their knocks and bumps in order that we might have a successful ' arsity. STEVE ' HOELZLE, Caplui}! Tackle Westminster was overjoyed when big Steve Hoelzle returnecl to tlie colors just previous to tlie West Virginia game. He had played three years with our eleven before he was called in to Uncle Sam ' s service in 1917. When he re- turned after two years fighting, all our hopes seemed lost when he encamped at W. J. But two weeks was enough for him there. He returned to Westminster, was elected captain, played the game, winning for him fresh laurels in each game. RED ANDERSON Hal fix I ck Here is Red. Yes, red-headed but every inch a foot-ball player. Red has played two seasons on the varsity, during which time he has won for himself the coveted title of a star. He was always one of the hardest workers on the squad and the result of his labors brought him the captaincy for 1920. Red has many distinguishing qualities as a foot- ball player, but the two that have won him success are his sportsman tactics and his ability to tear a hole in the opposing line. EARL DART Tacl-le Earl Dart, the grand old man, better known in our midst as Miz, returned after two years fighting for Uncle Sam to fight for the blue and white. Miz surely looked like a million to the left side of Westminster ' s line this fall. The old blue and white will miss his smiling and determined face in the line-up next fall. Miz says this country doesn ' t produce the man that can keep me from smashing through and nabbing my man before he gets started. EDGAR EDDY Halfback Al ' s foot-ball career dates back to 1916 when Westminster had one of the greatest teams in years. The playing of Al in 1919 was brilliant, but early in the season, on account of a dislocated shoulder he was out of the game until the Geneva game. In the Grove City game, he had his shoulder dislocated three times, but still insisted upon remaining the game. This action shows the nerve and grit that carried Eddy through the Meuse-Argonne and the other battles of the world war. 109 1921 8° BOB FOSTER Guard Robert Alexander the Shusshanite has made his marks (on the shins of opponents) in Westminster foot-ball history. For two years Foster has failed to make a letter on account of injuries. This year, however, he was more fortunate and his one hundred ninety pounds of beef filled right guard very effectively. The effectiveness of Bob ' s pedal extremities in filling holes in the line was simply marvelous. His foot-ball career might well be called an engineering feet. SAM KIER Quai ' terback Sam came to Westminster with a good repord as a foot-ball player and has upheld it admirably this year, getting a regu- lar berth on the team as quarterback. Sam had a clear voice and call ed his Gignals well, seldom did he have to repeat if the rest of the team were awake. With three more years to play this curly headed chap ought to be a great asset to West- minster ' s foot-ball teams. .JACK LEWIS End Jack spent a year in the service but returned last fall to be of service to Westminster ' s foot-ball eleven. He was of great service, too. We cannot help but admire him for his brilliant work on the end position. Jack was always breaking through and getting his man. Toward the last of the season he had the great misfortune to hurt his ankle, keeping him out of several games. We hope Sharon will send more sons like him. GEORGE MARTIN End After spending a year in the army service, George returned to Westminster for his last year of college foot-ball. His ability and success as a wing-man were unquestioned. When it came to plucking a pass or boxing a tackle George couldn ' t be beaten. His specialty was going up the field under punts. He demonstrated his specialty so well in the West Virginia game that the mighty Rodgers felt moved to profanity, chiding his ends about their inability to get that bird. no 1921 SAM McCULLOUGH Guard Behold our mighty Sam. This was the expression that invariably rose from the lips of Westminster rooters when Sam appeared on the scene of battle clad in his dusky gar- ments of warfare. In following the profession of the pig- skin, his powerful frame convinced more than one of his worthy opponents of its mightiness . Sam ' s exploits on the field have won for him the pride of Westminster foot-ball lovers. VIC MINTEER Halfback Vic after spending his vacation in contracting and sling- ing the concrete was feeling very husky and soon earned for himself the title of the best little man on the team. He is fast, clever, and a sure tackier. He knows the game from A to Z and when it comes to open field running he is hard to beat. This is his last year at Westminster. Coach Wimberley will have a hard time finding a man to fill Vic ' s shoes next year. BUCK RUNSER Ceyiter Buck was one of the mainstays on the 1919 team. He was equally effective at guard or center, and when called upon to open a hole was sure to respond with a pathway. Having been a former letter man here, Buck knew the game and surely did know how to play it right. Buck has another year before ending his brilliant career as a foot-ball man and is sure to play it with the same old spirit which he has always shown in the past. WINTERBURN Fullback Winterburn ' s record in athletics does not show good work in foot-ball alcne. He has played guard on the All-Scholastic team and third base for the Pittsburgh Collegians. At West- minster he was a regular fullback on the 1919 team. Both his line plunging and his defense work made him invaluable to the team. He had no small part in making our 1919 team a success. Ill TOO JERRY WRIGHT End New York State is noted for the many athletes that she has sent to Westminster, and especially is she noted for the great ends that have played on some of Westminster ' s best teams. Last fall Jerry came to us from this state and has proved a second Loughry. The coach tried to make a halfback out of him, but he was an end, so they had to put him there. Coach Wimberley and Assistant Coach McQuiston 118 1921 Thomas Johnson Manager Boys ' Basket-Ball The Blue and the White, though getting off with a poor start, finished the season w ith a successful record. The season was opened on the local floor by easily defeat- ing St. Bonaventure. The next game on the schedule was w ith the New Kensington Y. M. C. A., Westminster winning b ' a good margin. Kittanning Collegians were the next to be met, and the first to win from us. The Westinghouse Club followed the footsteps of Kittanning, by winning by a small margin. After completing the Pittsburgh trip, the team journe ed into New York State. Geneva was the next important game on the schedule, the game being played on their floor, they winning the game by six points. It was in this game that West- minster showed her first real team work. In the second hall ' Westminster staged a wonderful come back. scoring 18 points to Geneva ' s 1. Alleghen ' won the next game on her own floor, b} ' eleven points. Grove Cit_v, at Sharon, was the next. G. C. was compelled to bow down before the superior pla ing of Westminster, being d ' efeated by a score of 42 to 23. 1 his was the tirst real success the Blue and the White had had thus far in the season. Allegheny was met for the second time on the Y. M. C. A. floor at New Castle. Westminster won this game b ' a decisive score. Geneva was then met in the return game in New ([iastle. This was undoubtedly the cleanest and best played game of the season. Westminster won the game by a five-point margin. The final game of the season was with Grove Cit ' and played over there, G. C. winning b ' a large score. The success that came in the latter part of the season speaks well for the train- ing and coaching of the team, and it also shows what a team, with the real spirit of the institution behind it, can do. 113 1921 JACK LEWIS, Captain Guard Captain Lewis is one of the best guards that ever up- held Westminster ' s honor on the basket-ball floor. Jack is a hard worker and should his team not win it was not be- cause he didn ' t do his best. He is a fine point getter as well as guard. The game that Jack played with Grove City this year in his home town, was a fine example of the kind of game he puts up. We are sorry that this is his last year, but we are depending on him to send some one to fill his place. RED ANDERSON Forward Red is one of the pepiest and hardest working men on the team. He has certainly earned his position as forward, for after each game, you will always find several goals chalked up to his credit. With his athletic ability, and his famous lit- tle satchel, Red is becoming quite a personage. With still another year in school, we may expect great things of him. DAVE FAWCETT Foricard Dave, smiling and determined, is not very big, but then good goods are put up in small packages. This is his first year at Westminster, but his speed and shooting, soon won him a regular position on the varsity. All over the floor, and where you can find him when you want him, that ' s Dave. Few foul-shooters shoot as well as he did, the night of the Allegheny game at New Castle. JACK McFADDEN Guard Mac went to college and played basket-ball, too, before he came to Westminster this year. We must say that Frank- lin lost a good guard when he came here. With him at the guard position, the ball was, regularly, coming out of an op- ponent ' s territory. Mac is rather a quiet sort of a fellow but he got his fill of the Old Westmin.ster Spirit. With one more year, he bids fair to fill a regular position on the varsity five, next season. 116 1921 CLARENCE RANDALL Center There is a bix niixup right under the basket, and then all of a sudden out of the melee, a long arm shoots up, and the ball drops through the basket, without touching either the rim or the bankboard. Yes, Randy was always on the job, and it can be truly said that he filled, ably, the position left vacant by Army. He has an enviable record, in that he played through every game, without missing a second. TOMMY REESE Forwai ' d Ducking and dodging around everybody, so fast that you can ' t keep up with him — that ' s Tommy. Tommy is just a Freshman, but if he improves as much in the seasons to come as during this one, he will be holding down a regular position on the varsity. Few men on the team can equal him for speed. .JACK TRIMBLE Forward .Jack is the fellow that can make the shots from everywhere on the floor. He didn ' t get to play in very many varsity games, but was always out to help whip the varsity into shape for their hard schedule. Jack is one of the cleanest players on the team, always full of pep and working for the honor of his team. .JERRY WRIGHT Guard Without an account of Jerry and his whirl-wind playing, the writeup of the basket-ball season and the players would be incomplete. As a guard, he has very few rivals; his ability to cover the floor is unsurpassed. This fair haired boy from the wilds of New York will be greatly missed by all, next year. 116 1921 Girls ' Basket-Ball Nothing could have had fairer prospects for a successful season than the girls ' varsity basket-ball for the 1919-20 season. For did we not have, practically, last year ' s entire team, namely — Aurel and Lillian, Lois and Olive, and Pauline and Kaddie ? We started out, enthusiastically, to arrange games, three return games, open games at that, but at the first week ' s practice Aural Anderson, our star for- ward, hurt her knee in such a way as to permanentl} ' put her out of the game. Then Kaddie Kennedy was unable to pla} ' , and finally, after the Slippery Rock and Beaver games, Lillian McDonough, our remaining star forward, became too ill to play. So, although we had only Pauline and Lois left from our original team, we practiced faithfull - and hard, and rounded up some excellent Freshman material, consisting of Betty W ebb, Gertrude Gillette, Grace Rapp, and Ethel Rose. It was a hard pull throughout — first, being permitted to pla ' three return games, and secondly, getting a team to play them. Flowever, it has been a fairly good sea- son, defeating both our old rivals. Geneva and Beaver, on our home floor. The girls worked hard and conscientiousl) , and deserve much credit for their sportsman- ship. Flere ' s wishing all the success in the world to next year ' s team, as they play with better coaching, a better gym, and better health. 117 1921 Anderson — Bradshavv — Porter — Blackburn — Randalls Livingston — McClure — Rapp — Mc Knight — McClennahan — Diven Coolev — Gillette — Garvin — Scott, Mgr. — Webb — Braliam — McDonough Sowash — Stewart — Williams — Ewing — Paff — Tait — Cooper Gilkey, Capt. — Pinney — Rose — McKnight, Coach 118 1921 PAULINE GILKEY, Captain Guard Pauline has proved herself a true captain, stick- ing to her team, even when it seemed to be going under. She has had to work against tremendous dif- ficulties this year, but she has never allowed herself or her team to grow discouraged, and she finally came out on top. A marvelous player herself, im- partial, with the best interests of her team always at heart, never swerving from the principles of fair play, she has won the admiration and love of all her team-mates. BETTY GARVIN Forward This is Betty ' s first year as a member of the varsity, and she is the only one who has held the same position through all of our five games. As for- ward, Betty is mighty hard to guard, and when her hands come in contact with the ball, the op- posing team is, as we say, out o ' luck, for she is a sure shot. Because of her sticktuitiveness and conscientious efforts, Betty certainly deserves the reward of a W. GERTRUDE GILLETTE Guard From the Buckeye State, comes our guard, Jilly. We surely feel grateful to Ohio for loaning her to us for four short years, to stop Gen eva ' s high balls. ' Twas not only her playing but also her pep that so helped to put the Girls ' Basket-ball team of West- minster on the map. Among her peppy sayings, Ouff, oufi is one, never to be forgotten, either by her friends on the floor, or by the spectators. It surely did signify that Jilly had caught an unex- pected ball, that would otherwise have flown into the opposing team ' s arms. 119 LOIS McCLURE Center Lois has finished her fourth year of varsity basket- ball for Westminster and her loss will be greatly felt by the team. Lois has been very efficient, both as guard and center. Perhaps she didn ' t give one the idea of being speedy but she got over the floor. It was almost marvelous, sometimes, the way she got the ball. Then, too, anyone, who has played against her, knows the impossibility of guarding her. GRACE RAPP Guard ■ What would we have done without Grace? She was one of the hardest workers and most faithful at- tenders in the squad. At first, she was a little han- dicapped by having played boys ' rules in high school, but we found in her a fine guard. She, certainly, could stop that ball. It is also known that Grace helped to keep up Westminster ' s reputation for clean, sportsmanlike playing. BETTY WEBB Forward What in the world could we have done this year without our little, husky, all-around player, Betty Webb? She came to Westminster after having played three years of varsity basket-ball at Peabody, and she kept up her reputation with the best kind of work for the Blue and the White. First, as a side center, she played the game, and afterward when we needed a fo rward she filled that position just as well. So, we, really, our team couldn ' t have gotten along without her, and judging from her Freshman record, what will she be when she is a Senior? 120 1921 J. D. Shaner Manager The Base-Ball Season The season of 1919 was a great success, considering the many rainy days and the material Coach Cartes had to whip into shape. Our coach, known to us as Fred, came to us from Braddock with a reputation of being a man of unquestionable char- acter and of wonderful base-ball ability. At the end of the season, his team and its followers declared that he was the best all-around base-ball coach that ever handled a Westminster team. Captain Igo, Wherry, and Wiggins were the onl ' experienced men on the team, but the recruits were speedily rounded into shape, and a fast team was the result. As the team warmed up on the Carnegie Tech diamond, the famous Hans Wag- ner was worried when he saw the six-footers work out, and was greatly relieved when rain ended the game at the end of the first inning. Six of the scheduled games were cancelled on account of bad weather, and the team did not find its stride until the Slippery Rock game. From this time on they played real base-ball, beating Slippery Rock on two occasions; handing the Beaver Falls Collegians, — a team comprised of Geneva players plus a few ringers, — the short end of an 8-4 victory: winning from Duquesne 6-5 in an eleven inning game; t ' ing the Alumni, and holding the Pittsburgh Collegians 3-0. Taken as a whole, the season was a success. 123 1921 DON IGO Second Base Very little need be said about Don Igo, Captain and star second baseman, for his reputation, and wonderful ability in leading the team cannot easily be forgotten. Although he was the shortest man in the infield, he never failed to leave the impression that that he was the real man for the position. He wielded a club with no hole in it, and was a most consist- ent hitter. He was an all-around base-ball player. CLYDE ARMSTRONG Third Base Army held down the third sack positino, a very important position on the diamond. His pegs to first were nearly al- ways true, and few batted balls got through his corner of the lot. This was Army ' s last year, but he is working hard for Old Westminster, and we are counting on him to sen d some material to take his place. DICK BRANDON Catcher Dick was our catcher, and truly gathered in everything that came his way. His size enabled him to cover a lot of ter- ritory, and rarely did a ball ' get by him. He was a hard woi ' ker and faithful player, helping our pitcher out of many bad holes by his cool and steady playing. Dick ' s best art was his ability to kid the batter, and many a man was retired to the tune of his let ' s go, big chief. PIB CONWAY Fielder Pib started the season at first base, but the coach needed a fielder, so Pib said he didn ' t care, he could play anywhere, and he proved that he could, too. Ask anyone about the hit he made in the Duquesne game, that tied the score and en- abled us to win out in the end. Pib showed us a steady, consistent, and all-around ball player. 125 o JIM CUMMINGS Shortstop Having found foot-ball, basket-ball, and tennis, subject to his powers, Jimmy set out last spring to conquer base-ball. He proved to fit into the position in the short field like the proverbial peg. With a good judgment of ground balls, a prodigious reach, a swing at the bat like Goliath, and a peg like a bullet from a machine gun, he made gool all around. After he got his daily error out of his system, none excelled him. He will leave a big hole in this year ' s team. JACK LEWIS Center Field Jack made his debut on the diamond last spring. Little was known of his ability until we watched him work out, and that was enough to convince anyone that he was a real base- ball player. His speed, and ability to judge fly balls, earned him a regular position in the out field. His bat worried many a pitcher. .Jack was also a first base man, and will be of great value this year. IRVINE REANEY Catcher Reaney surely finds himself at home, behind the bat, and although he is not as big as our other catcher, Dick Brandon, he is speedy enough to cover quite a lot of ground behind the batter ' s box. Irvine has two more years with us, and we ' re expecting him to hold the position until his graduation. Reaney is a good hitter, and has a fine peg to second. AD VANCE First Base Holding down the first base position was Ad Vance, one of our old diamond stars, who after being discharged from the army, returned to school in time to represent the Blue and White in base-ball. Ad ' s height, coupled with his skill in jumping, enabled him to register at least half the put-outs in every diamond encounter. He was fast, as well as a con- sistent hitter. We are sorry that graduation has taken him away, for he was one of Westminster ' s best athletes. 126 1921 ' MIKE WHERRY Field Wherry, better known as Mike, was a heavy hitter, and had tlie excellent habit of stealing bases. In one season he could steal more bases than any two men on the team. He played left-field throughout the season, and saved many runs by pulling the ball out of the air. Judging the ball, was play for him, and he could cover half the outfield when necessary. WALTER WIGGINS ntcher Walter Jay Wiggins, known better as Wiggie, sure has an uncanny way of delivering a slow ball which makes big leaguers look like amateurs, and amateurs look like bush- leaguers. Besides the slow ball, Wiggie can deliver al- most any kind of curve which makes a man look foolish, breaking his back trying to hit him. Wiggie has another year to pitch for the old Blue and White, and much is expected of him. The Tennis Season We went. the ' saw us, we were conquered, as the poet said. Yes, we came out at the little end of the horn last spring, but we are not going to pull the alibi that tryouts were not held till two days before the first match, which was quite true. We did, however, win one match, the second one of the season, from Grove City. Alas! our team went down to defeat twice before the brilliant racqueters of Tech. and once we lost to W. J. 1 he rain stopped our match with Pitt after we were on their grounds; Alles- ' heny ' s courts were in too poor condition to pla ' : and (jene a and Hiram seemed not to be indulging in tennis this season. But, nevertheless, we had the makin ' s. Here they are: Capt. Cummings, Eddie Shott, Ross Campbell, and Tim Johnston. This was some aggregation. All played mighty good tennis, and with different combinations in doubles, we got about as many styles of plaving as Prof. Shaffer could get combinations out of four units. We met some exceptionally good players on the trips, especially at W. J. and Tech. For us, Cummings was the main point-getter. Ross Campbell, too, de- serves mention for quick work with his racquet, l ut as far as that goes. — all were good players. But no write-up is complete without a reference to the excellent management, especially when the manager is doing the writing. .No mean job, looking after such a quartette. With what fear and trembling did the humble mana 2;er chase the fel- lows out of the bed-room lor fi e. at the Seventh Avenue, one morning, and make a grand dash for the lobb ' before any bell hops spied that room, with its chandelier with onlv one light out of three burning. Then, too, the fellows never would be- lieve that it was out of the generositv of the manager that we had dinner at McCreerv ' s one day. (One of the racqueters was so struck with the place, that he booked it as a stopo er on his hone moon — guess who? He ' s teaching this year.) Yes, gentle reader, the ungrateful ones thought thev had pulled one over on the mone -holder every time he set thm up swell. Surely, the way of the manager is hard! Well, like other seasons it is now history, and already the players are scattered. But it was all for Old Westminster and that made it doubly worth while. The team of 1919 will be watching for better teams, as the school grows, and ath- letics become keener and better. 129 1921 8° To the Old ' ' Gym ' Old Westminster Spirit! Low Broods the old Gym on her nest, Cuddling heroes of by-gone days; Staunch breed that did their best To battle their way to the front. With all their vim and might; Not ashamed of then Old Mother, Nor The Blue and White. Alas! what stale jokes have been crack ' d On thy old crown; what mirth Has bubbled o ' er your low estate And waist of ample girth! Wished on us, scarce half made up, You ' re a jest, done in art ; A giggle of gargoyles, grinning Each at the other ' s part. New Pep says you ' re only a shell, Dear old Ghost, never mind; It ' s your old Spirit that we want, A nd will not leave behind; Those memories in your old heart Are our joy and our pride. The New Gym shall be their shrine, wher They shall live and abide. Leave your shell, but bring your Spirit, And we ' ll bottle up your tears. A royal welcome now awaits you, A Tiger and three cheers! Your Old Spirit, anew, shall shine Regnant and glorious, A cloud by day and fire by night. O ' er all victorious. J. o. c. 130 —1921 An Apology Laugh and the world laughs icith you, Weep and you iiceep alone ; For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth, But has trouble enough of its own. The following few pages are thrown in as an extra bit of amuse- ment, intended for the perusal of those who wish to review some of the gayer side of Westminster life. We ha e picked up here and there, throughout the year, the essence of a few of our good times; some cle er and interesting personages; and the best of the mirth- provoking incidents of the past college vear, and are reproducing them here for the entertainment of our friends. To any who may consider their toes tramped b ' this section of our book, or who may be inclined to think that we have gone be- yond our prescribed limits, we wish to sav, that it is not u ith the intention of giving vou pain that we have penned the following lines, but rather that we may all be permitted to smile at the things which have heretofore caused a few to laugh. Some parts may be slightly overdrawn, but it is for the sake of humor, and not intend- ed as raillery. If the reader sees anything here about someone else that he considers worth a laugh, he will doubtless indulge; if he sees anything about himself that others may consider laughable, let him graciousl ' condescend to let it pass for the sake of others. If ou still feel offended, we beg your pardon. O wad some pow ' r the giftie gie us To see ourselves as others see us. 132 1921 The Hallowe ' en Party at the Hillside Strange and mxsterious were the characters represented at the masquerade given this year on the nii ht before 1 lailowe ' en. Sailors and Soldiers of the U. S. A. flirted with the maidens of sunny Japan. Pierrettes and clowns danced with farmers and Wild W ool} ' Cave Men.

So here ' s to the Amish, Long may they stay, With their ciueer customs. And quiet way. 135 1921 Those Golashes ! never cared for winter much; Yet I enjoy a lope in Snow or slush or anything With my golashes open! It seems to be the fashion.

They ' re mighty scarce I know and Somehow I ' m always hopin ' That I ic ' ill find a girl some day Who wears golashes open. froth See the girls with the bangs — Pretty bangs, What a world of labor their primness fore- tells! How they dangle, dangle, dangle, O ' er the noble Juno brows! While the locks that ever sprinkle All the crown, seem to wrinkle Like the tails of the cows. Keeping time, time, time With a sort of roughened rhyme To the everlasting loving pangs From the bangs, bangs, bangs, bangs. Bangs, bangs, bangs. — From the wrangling and the jangling of the bangs. WITH APOLOGIF.S TO POE 137 Besides golashes and bangs you ' ll find Another fad of a different kind ; Middies have proven quite the rage, We picture six at the top of the page; Some are red and some are blue, In fact they come in every hue; Are they all from sailors bold.

If you don ' t know for what it is famous, just read on.

Well, if the pieople of the United States could onh- hear us conduct a class meetin , the - would surely send us all to congress. We have all the great statesmen among our members, plus a few more. There ' s Daniel Webster, alias Steve ; Abraham Lincoln, alias Burton; Patric Henry, Teddy Roosevelt, Tafl, Bryan, Wilson and Edmund Burke, in the persons of S. Foster, R. Butler, Abe Martin, McCullough, DufT, and Jamison; while Hood ' s imagination outclasses that of Shakespeare, and words fail to express the way Roamy Wright feels about it. Oh, yes, the ladies of history are well represented, too, for we have Hazel Phipps as Mrs. Pankhurst and Fran Verner, a x ' eritable Joan of Arc; and many others, both men and women, whom space and time will not permit us to mention. We wish we had time to tell you about all of us, but that is not possible for we want -ou to read Burton ' snomination speech, so we transcribe it below; Prof. Moses and Fellow-(]lassmates ; We are met here today for the purpose of electing presiding officers so that this class may be conducted as a deliberative body. Since the success of any group of people, controlled by the rules and regulations of parliamentary law, depends very largely upon the president, it is highly important thai we choose one of our number who is well fitted by nature, by training and by experience to occupy the chair. In selecting a president for this class, we are duty bound to lay aside class spirit, club spirit, personal enmities, personal friendships and sex differences and elect that one who is most capable of conducting the business of the class in a worthy and digni- fied manner. With this object in view, 1 shall propose the name of one who has many qualifications for the office. Nature has been kind in giving her a dignified look and a commanding bearing. She has a good voice, is a clear and ready thinker, and a quick but deliberate actor. She is at ease when speaking, looks her hearers straight in the eyes, and speaks with a tone of conviction in her voice. Coming as she does from a long line of ancestors who have been famous, both in the halls of learning and in the legislative bodies of our land, she inherits certain qualities of leadership. It has been her privilege to attend and to take part in many delibera- tions, both secular and religious, during recent years, and she has thus gained a wealth of experience which will be invaluable to her as a presiding officer. In our college community she has been a member of the Holcad staff since entering school, and has taken an active part in the discussions which it holds. She has been active in Le Cercle Francais, in Y. P. C. L ' . committee work, and this year is a capable assistant editor of the 1921 Argo. In all of these offices she has proved herself to be a good organizer, and the master of any situation that developed. Believing as I do in her ability to conduct the proceedings of this class in a capable and effi- cient manner, 1 hereby propose the name of Miss for president. Acknowledgement and Appreciation Ere we close, it is but fitting that we should pause for a moment, and in this public wav take occasion to express our grate- ful appreciation to those who may in any w ay have contributed to the success of this volume. Whether your part has been little or much, if you have done your part, we thank you. We are especial- ly ' indebted to: Mr. 11. J. l leinz. Photographer, of Sharon. Pa. Mr. Everett Martin, .Miss .Anna .McBride, and .Mr. J. M. Smith for camera work. Mr. Greer Kerr for numerous drawings. Also Mr. Kenneth Ellis for drawings. Miss Mc Knight, of the Public Speaking Department, for coach- ing our class plays. The (College of Music for the excellent concert given in our behalf. Miss Gertrude Gillett, Miss Frances Wallace, Miss Cooper, Miss Aebi and Mr. Clements for Typewriting. Miss Ruth Steele for valuable suggestions.

She welcomes to her class-rooms and halls all earnest young people of whatever denomination of Christian faith. LOCATION Westminster is located sixty miles north of Pittsburgh in a village noted for morality and healthfulness, and overlooking one of the most 1)eautiful val- leys of the State. Through service over the Pennsylvania Lines between Pittsburgh, Oil City and Buffalo makes the College easily accessible from all points. A paved road and bus service between New Castle and New Wilming- ton makes Westminster still more accessible to the larger centers of popula- tion. EQUIPMENT The College Plant is adecpiate for the accommodation of 400 students. The Administration Building, familiarly known as Old ] Iain, contains Chapel, twelve class-rooms, four Society halls, Library, Art-Room, and College Oft ' ices. It is scholastic in a])pearance and through recent renovation is adapted to all modern needs. Science Hall contains three lecture rooms, six laboratories devoted to Chemistry, Physics, and Biology, Museum, photograph gallery, stock rooms and oft ' ices. The laboratories are furnished with the latest e(|ui])ment with a fullness which challenges comparison with the collegiate departments of our best universities. The College of IMusic is a building of exceptional beauty and convenience containing thirty-six rooms, embracing studios, practice rooms, libraries, re- ception parlors and concert hall. Steinway and Mehlin pianos are used l y all teachers and new grade practice instruments are furnished all students, no instrument being kept longer than two years. The Hillside, a dormitory for young women, excels in beauty and con- venience. A large number of rooms are furnished with private bath. The dining-room has been pronounced the most attractive to be found in any insti- tution. About ninety young women can be accommodated. The New Gymnasium, which is in the process of erection, will be ready about the first of January. It will be modern in all its ecpiipment and will be among the finest to be found in Pennsylvania Colleges. FACULTY Westminster ' s Faculty is large in proportion to the number of students and hence furnishes opportunity for thorough work and personal interest in stu- dents. All departments are in care of university-trained teachers. Thorough- ness is the watchword of each department. 178 1921 CURRICULUM The Curriculum of Westminster is purely culleg ' iate with auxiliary courses in Public Speaking and Alusic. A sub-Freshman class is maintained for stu- dents who come from communities where but three years of High School work is given. The courses of College w ork, Classical and Scientific, prepare for the work (jf the professional and technical schools, and also fit for High School and College positions. Graduates are accepted on diploma in leading universities. THE COLLEGE OF MUSIC The College of Alusic is conducted by a corps of instructors who have had their work under the most eminent and successful masters of Europe and America. The work accomplished is everywhere recognized as of the highest order. No expense or ef¥ort is spared in making this department the ecpial of the best Musical Conservatories. PHYSICAL CULTURE AND ATHLETICS The Department of IMiysical Culture has been created by the addition to the Faculty of a Director of Physical Culture and Athletics. Physical training is recpiired of all students, and all athletic sports are under supervision of the Director of Physical Culture and the respective coaches. Foot-ball and cross-country running are the fall sports; basket-ball the winter sport ; track, base-ball and tennis those of the spring. Tennis and track are rapidly attaining the place of prominence as varsity sports for the spring season. New tennis courts are being built adjacent to the campus and this branch of athletics is now restored to the list of varsity sports at Westminster. MORAL IDEALS W ' estminster has for her ideal effort the harmonious blending of l)road scholarship, pure morality, and an evangelical atmosphere such as will foster reverence for the Bible as the word of God and sympathy with the missionarv program of Christ. It is maintained that sane college discipline must demand from college students the same morality wdiich has characterized the Christian homes from which they come, and that under no circumstances should young people who are learning to make a living and a life through the sacrifices of Christian parents and endowments of the Church, l)e i)ermitted a lower grade of moral conduct than those of their own age who, in the home community, are doing the work of life.
