Westminster College - Argo Yearbook (New Wilmington, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 216 of the 1923 volume:

I Sportsmanship I lay the game But play it fairly, Fight to will But meet men squarely, I ' ackle hard A nd hit the line, Do your best But don ' t you whine. Play to win, But every inning Keep in mivd here ' s more than winning; I ' lctory ' s sweet. But good or ill, . 1 n honest name Is sweeter still. Reach your goal By hard endeavor. But by trick And cunning never: Win or lose. Though bruised and lamed. Let night find you Unashamed. — Edgar A. Guest. The Argo Volume Eighteen Westminster College Annual PUBLISHED BY THE Class of Nineteen Twenty Three WESTMINSTER COLLEGE NEW WILMINGTON, PA. NINETEEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO To Our Bkloved Teacher and 1-riend MISS MARY M. WALLACE W hose patient work vor W estminster has been so fruitful, this volume is respectfully dedi- CATED BY THE Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-three. Foreword Life is full of memories, with but little that is real and tangible to remind us of the past. At times we happen upon some scene, picture, or memoir that takes us with a rush into those da s gone by, and it is then that we wish for something to help us remember more easily those things which we would not forget. College life is our first great step into the world. It is, too, sort of a resting place in which we pause to polish our ideals and ambitions and come to understand our responsi- bility to our fellow men, before we go our separate ways. What period of life is more fragrant in enjo ' ment. more delightful in remembrance, more cherished in reminiscence, than this? So it is that the Juniors, the class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-three, send this volume forth to their friends in remembrance of so man - happy hours spent together in good fellowship. — The Editor. A estminster College Westminster College came into existence in 1852. To Rev. George C. Vincent, D. D., belongs the credit of projecting it. Several places competed for the location of the new institution, New Wilmington winning the prize through the energy of a few of the citizens of the community. It was placet! under the care of twelve persons, six each chosen by the Presbyteries of Shenango and Ohio of the Associate Presbyterian Church. In 1S59 the Bt)artl of Directors was enlarged, and the appointment of its twenty-four members was committed to the l-irst Synod of the West of the United Presbyterian Church. In 1872 the Synod of Pittsburgh was associated with the First Synod of the West in the control of the college, twelve members of the Board to be appointed by each. Within recent years, the alumni have been given representation in the board by eight members additional, and the Board itself has been given power to add eight more, making a total membership of forty. The successive presidents of the Board include the following names; David Goodwillie, Joseph McClintock, Samuel Alexander, D. H. McLean, Joseph Pressly, David R. Kerr, R. B. Ewing, E. N. McElree, and John S. McKee; the ofTice being held for quite long periods by Drs. McLean, Pressly and Kerr. The College was born in due time. The men who founded it were wise to discern the need of the time and the future. It provided the opportunity- of education for both sexes for a large scope of country that was settled bv Presbyterians of various hues — Seceders and Covenanters and Old School. It had an immediate success, students flocking in from all sides. The little building in which it began in the spring of 18 2, soon became too small for the accommodation of its classes. In some of the earlier vears of its existence, the aggregate enrollment was as great as it has been at any time since. It commanded respect and confidence by the ability and the character of the men who were set over it. They were men of strong intellect anti resolute purpose, and they made great sacrifices that they might establish and promote the institution that was dear to them as an instrument of service to Christ and His Church. Rev. Dr. Owens, speaking in 1894 on The Progress of Westminster in Recent ears, pass this brief tribute to the men of his da ' as a student: Comparing the faculty- of todav with that of sa thirty- vears ago, we find an increase of members and an advance in methods of instruction et to say we hax e lost nothing in the character and quality- of our teachers, is to pay a yery high compliment to those who fill the chairs. Such men as Drs. James Patterson, George C. X ' incent, William Findley, Wm. A. Mehard, . ndreyv Black, and Prof. J. B. Cummings. are not often equalled and seldom surpassed. The fruit of the labors of these men is seen in the cultivated intellect, loftv purpose and large usefulness of her long and honorable roll of graduates. In several churches and in many countries they serve God in the ministry. Thev are found in Egypt and India, in China. Siam and Persia. In all parts of our country thev occupy- positions of importance — in education, in business, in layv and medicine I hev are judges and bankers and editors — men of influence. Especially- are they found in the ranks of the ministry and laity- of the L ' nited Presby- terian Church, which established it to provide educated -oung men for her ministry and educated men and women for her seryice in the churches. — Dk. R. G. Ferguson. Not for the sake of the gold, Not for the sake of the fame, Not for the pri e ivotdld I hold Any ambition or aim : zvould be brave and be true Just for the good I can do. I vcould be useful on earth. Serving some purpose or cause. Doing some labor of worth. Giving no thought to applause. Thinking less of the gold or the fame 7 ' han the joy and the thrill of the game. Medals their brightness may lose. Fame be forgotten or fade. Any reward we may choose Leaves the account still unpaid. But little real happiness lies In fighting alone for a pri e. Give me the thrill of the task, The joy of the battle and strife. Of being of use. and I ' ll ask No greater reward from this life. Better than fame or applause Is striving to further a cause. — Edgar Guest. INMEMORIAM WESTMINSTER STUDENTS WHO MADE THE SUPREME SACRinCE IN THE WORLD WAR 1914-1918 W. Chari.es Wallace, D.D. President and Professor of Christian Evidences Robert Gracey Ferguson, D.D.. LL.D. Professor Emeritus of Biblical Literature The Voice of Our President Having been honored with an invitation of the Staff to become one of the Argonauts, our President covets the influence of an Orpheus that he may fortifv the seekers of the Golden Fleece of Culture against Siren voices v ■hich would divert attention from the genuine quest. For Dr. Flugh Black was right, was he not, in the assertion that Culture begins by accepting the Christian ideal, which aims at perfection of life It emphasizes the dut - which a man owes to himself to be what it is in him to become, the duty to use all means to attain to a full development of all his powers. In cheaji sneers at culture, we forget that e ery great man set it before him in some form or other, and it is no broad and flowerx ' path on which one can gaily walk, but a narrov one through a straight gate. W ' e forget that it was not a light task, for example, which Goethe presented to himself, when he made it his aim in life to develop his ever - capacitv, till he died, after a long life of mental activity, with the words on his lips. More light! What made Cjoethe the repre- sentative man of culture was that he resolutely set aside all extraneous interests, and calml ' ga e himself up to his engrossing idea; that he was, as .Mr. Hamilton Alabie puts it in one of his cultured and suggestive essavs. .A man who dis- covered in youth that a life ought not to be a succession of happenings, a matter of outv ard fortunes but a cumulati e inward growth and the cumulative power of protiuctivitw The narrative of e ents within the Argo will record a ear of Cx)llege life. A ' lay the narrati ' e stimulate us each and all to those nobler achievements which constitute the histor - of a growing culture. For 1 am indebted to George Ak.Aulev Trevelyan. in Garibaldi and the Alaking of Italy for the discovery that the histor ' of e ents is ephemeral and for the scholar: the poetry of events is eternal and ' lor the multitULle. It is the acted poem that lives in the heart of the millions to whom the written records of histor ' and the written words of poetry are alike an unopened book. Be it ours, fellow students of life, to make out of all our college activities, avenues leading into the larger liberties of life and knowledge, thus making excursions. to use I r. Eliot ' s fine phrase, into ennobling experiences. Dr. W. Charles Wallace. V. The Westminster Spirit W hat is it? How shall we deline it? IMrst ot all. it is the spirit of loyalty. This has been fundamental to Westminster ' s success. L.oyalts- to the great principles upon which our college was founded, loyaltv to God and to His truth. lo alt ' to dutv and to ser ice. loyalty to the United Presbyterian Church and the great cause she represents, loyaltv of the alumni to their Alma Mater, and of the student bodv to the administrative and teaching force. It is the spirit of co-operation. Svnods. Boanl. . lumni. I ' acultN ' , and Students work- ing together for the accomplishment of a might - purpose. Some of the most aggressive forces and the finest talent of our Church are functioning in this enterprise, . nvone who has looked upon the work in the classroom, attended a stuilents ' pep meeting in the chapel, or witnessed an inter-collegiate contest, will catch the final meaning of this paragraph. It is the spirit of progress. Believing that progress is a dixine watchword, Westminster is yearl - enlarging her horizon and setting for herself new standards of attainment. So rapid has been her progress in recent years that it may be said of her. . 11 things ha e become new. Her most recent attainment was her enrollment in the Association of .American Colleges and L ' niversities. The year 1921-1922 marks the largest teaching force and the largest student enrollment in her historw The end is not et. The spirit of progress will continue to animate Old Westminster. ' and to keep her abreast with the requirements of the da ' s to come. It is the spirit of achiesement. What hath God wrought through Westminster College? Her alumni are found in man lands: — on the frontiers of civilization forcing the fight for truth and righteousness; on the far-ilung battle line of missionary activity ' , winning victories for the kingdom of God; in the great cities and in the quiet countr -; dispensing justice in our courts (jr engaged in the ministr ' of healing in the hospitals ani.1 in the I ' omes; preaching salvation from the pulpit or denouncing e il and exalting goodness from the platform — in e er ' field of constructive etfort ma - be fountl the Bo ' s and the Girls of Old Westminster, animateil b ' the same spirit of achievement which still rules the campus and the classroom. There are greater things ahead. Ours is a mightv task. We face th e future with an optimism based upon the record of the past and radiant with the promises of God, How appropriate here is the second stanza of our College llvmn: — Mother triumphuiit .

It had its inception at an entertainment of the I-aculty of the College at the home of Professor and Mrs. Moses. The aim of the club is purely social. It resembles closely the many student organizations or clubs in its primary purpose. The constitution of the club is not at all hard to memorize, or even to re- member in substance. If brevity is a virtue, this constitution will always be pre-eminent. It consists of the one word: Good-fellow-ship. The organization is not hampered by rules and regulations, but everything emanates from the combined preamble and constitution. The officers of the Club are: Dr. Garwood is chairman of the Social C ommittee, being assisted bv Miss Stewart. The other members of the committee are: Professor Swindler, Miss Mover, .Mrs. Smizer, ex-oflicio, and Professor .Moses, ex-officio. This is the only committee that the organization admits. It acts more as a directing and arrang- ing agent than as an official or executive body. While the club was organized primaril - for the get-acquainted purposes of the facultw it also strives for cordial social relations with the student b(jdy. To this end it attempts to hold informal functions in conjunction with the students at N ' arious times. I r. berguson ' s eightieth birthda} ' was perhaps the first of such occasions. The students and faculty gathered together in common accord to do honor to Westminster ' s Grand Old .Man. Later, in the earl - spring, a G ' m I-rolic was held under the auspices of the club. This proved to be the finest get-to-gether affair in recent vears. It is the intention of the Faculty Club to have a banquet of its members at the close of each school year. This spring will witness the fir.st of such banquets. 1 he students of the college wish the I-acultv ( lub the best of enjovment and success in their new undertaking. Too often college life is affected with the dull and uninteresting, when there can and should he the mo t cordial and friendlv of relations. Professor Elbert R. Moses Professor E. J.

A. T. C. at Westminster had been demobolized, the class of 1922 discovered itself as a group of some fift - youths and maidens readv for a fresh start in the serious business of acquiring an education. We immediately pro- ceeded to make up for lost time; but it was with no little difficulty that we accomplished the transition from the interrupted work of the earl - part of the term to the more consistent study of the remainder of the ear. W ' e were also necessarilv late in our participation in class fights. We finaliw hov ever, had the pri ilege of matching our strength with that of the Sophomores, and later with that of the class of ' 23, and ne er failed to acquit ourselves in a creditable manner. Frequently we won, sometimes we lost — but w ho cared so long as there was a good fight. As we pass out. a backward glance over our four ears in Westminster brings a delightful picture before us. l:ven the things which at one time seemed hard and disagreeable seem almost pleasant when recalled to memorv. The past four ears are counted by all of us as the best ears we have as yet experienced. It is impossible to express all that we owe to Westminster. .Ml that we ha e learned in the classroom, all that we have acquired through the aried experiences of college life, the ideals with which we have been inspired through the personal touch and influence of great and good men and women, and the invaluable friendships we have formed are but a few of the things that constitute our debt to her. As we pass out into the world, we trust that our lives will count for more because of our experiences here, an d that we ma ' render service that will be worthy of Westminster ' s sons and daughters. — Clarence Duff, President Senior Class.

Forty-three Forty-four The Senior Sing The Senior Sing was inaugurated two ears ago at the suggestion of the President of the College. It bids fair to become one of the cus- toms of the institution, for it is in perfect harmony with the time-worn experience of class graduation. Somehow it reassembles all the inci- dents and occasions that have happened in one ' s student days and brings into new expression and interpretation those happenings. The Sing is held on the e ening preceding May Day. It is in no way a requirement, but is entirely obligatory on the part of the Seniors. As in the past, there is a whole-hearted willingness to hold it this year and plans are alreadv under wa ' by the Seniors. .No elaborate preparation is necessary for the staging of this fea- ture. Early in the evening the Seniors assemble on the south steps of Old .Main in cap and gown. And for an hour or two they sing old college songs, folklore and national songs. Their audience is entirely informal. No seats are arranged, the students and townspeople attending being given the freedom of the campus. There is always an immediate circle about the singers, but beyond this groups and couples stroll leisurely and quietiv about. There is a quaint air about this informal function. Once you attend one, vou will want to be there every year. The evening air, the songs, the twilight gathering, all these converge their strange power upon yoU ' and draw ou irresistibly into a new chamber of your life.

We lost both the (lag rush and the football game to the Sophomores, but later in the ear we won the inter-class basketball championship and the Fresh- man-Soph(jmore debate. Our team was composed of Foster, Miller, and Parker. Our girls were blocked in their attempt to hold a Freshman Frolic, and. as a result, had to forfeit their eats. Fhe next fall we returned in somew hat diminished numbers, but still stronger in class and college spirit. This time we defeated the FTeshmen in the Hag rush. The football game resulted in a tie; and again we won the Freshman-Sophomore debate. In the spring the Freshmen turned the tables on us b - winning the tug-of-war. During Commencement time of that ear, the newl ' completed gymnasium was dedicated. As Juniors, we all expected to deli er the time-honored Junior Orations, but in this we were disappointed (?) b v an action of the Facult which decreed that orations should no longer be required toward graduation. Our anguish was further augmented b} ' the Cdiristmas announcement that the number of hours required for graduation had been lessened. The Junior Flaw, gi en just before ( diristmas vacation, was one of the major events of the ear. On the night pre- ceding Easter vacation the F ' acult) ' Frolic was given in the new g mnasium under the supervision and inxitation of the Facult - Club, a distinctl ' non- academic organization of our professors. All who were present voted the Faculty as the best sports ever. But as a class, we took part not onl - in the class activities, but also in those major sports of the college. We are equallv proud of our representation on athletic and academic fields. We have alwa ' s endeavored to do our share in supporting our Alma Mater, and hope that we shall always be con sidered as a class w hich is loyal to the Old Blue and White, the symbol of the Greater West- minster.

It is a large modern piece of architecture, verv v ell planned and constructed. Our new gym is built of red brick with a white cement foundation. This, combined with the shiney roof of slate, causes it to hold a place of predominance among the edifices of New Wilmington. It is located right in full view of the national high a - from Erie to Pittsburgh and is pointed out as one of the finest gymnasiums in this part of the country. It is set on a slight elevation, while on the level space below, in the direction of the Hillside, lies the new athletic field. The baseball diamond is directiv opposite it; further down the field is the foot- ball gridiron. This makes it not only convenient for the teams representing the college in outdoor sports, but gi es every spectator the opportunit ' to see that Westminster has ample facilities for her indoor as well as outdoor sports. Perhaps the most notable feature of the building when viewed from the field bleachers, are the two long rows of windows. The large ones flood the g ' m with light while the others make the basement a bright, cheery place. The main entrance faces the north with a walk leading to Old Main and the other college buildings. Off the lobby are doors and steps giving access to the offices of the Athletic Association and the basement. What can we say of the gym floor, save that it ' s just about the best in every way that can be had. It is sufllcientiv large as to permit having bleachers along all the side lines. This is where the students sit and cheer for the Blue and White. There is a balcony that is fitted for track and is also used to help accommodate the crowd for some big floor event. Dressing rooms, showers, and other such equipment are all in the basement. Down here, too, is the trophy room where all college mementos and athletic pictures are displaved. Space has also been reser ed for a swimming pool which the College hopes soon to have ample funds to finish. Not only those who have special athletic cjualities or aspirations are permitted to use the floor, but everybody. All the students take gym exercise. Each afternoon during the winter season, classes for both fellows and girls are con- ducted under the super ision of the athletic director. Here each underclassman has good,, enjoyable physical exercise, and at the same time adds several needed credits to his graduation recjuirements. The gymnasium was formallv dedicated during the Commencement Week of the Class of l ' -)21. These students then s aw the concrete realization of an aim each Westminsterite had been cherishing during the years they had spent as upperclassmen in this institution. Now they come back with a feeling of pride to this big gvm. Each one chuckles when he thinks of comparing it to the tumble down shack where he and his fellow classmates tried to make baskets. The alumni and all college friends have expressed much admiration and praise for the gym. Seventy-four ScVf nty-fi vtr Seventy-six 1921 Football Westminster had expected j reater things in football this season than she real- ized. When the season closed last ear, we had a splendid nucleus around which to build a fine team. But fate seemed to be set against us. Coach Wimberly resigned his position in the summer and this necessitated the finding of a new- coach. We were indeed fortunate in being able to secure the able services of DeOrmond McLaughry. Westminster ' s football hero. But Tus, as we are wont to call him, was beset with innumerable difficulties. In the space of a month he had to be prepared for the active training of the squad. Those of you who have had an insight into an Athletic Director ' s job know what a tremendous task he had on hand. Poor football has become such a highly specialized form of inter-collegiate sport that to properly prepare a team for the season ' s work calls for a lot of detailed preparation. It is conceded, moreover, an almost impossible task for a coach to put forth a winning team without being able to establish his method and principle of playing, and this cannot be done in one year, much less in two or three. Westminster never had a Coach or .Athletic Director that was better liked than Tus. Teams and students fairly idolize him. We had a light eleven this season. This accounts for our poor showing in the latter part of the year w hen we met our friendly enemies from hereabouts. At Geneva, in spite of mud that was ankle deep, we held a far heavier team to a 0-0 score. W hen Grove City came over here for the Thanksgiving and final game of the season, our field was a perfect sea of mui.1 in spite of the efforts made to dry it up somewhat. Knowing that he was seriousl ' handicapped in lack of weight fcjr both line and backfield, Tus could only pray for dry weather as he whipped a fast team into trim. But we didn ' t have dry weather when we needed it. Sa - what ou ma ' , there would have been an en[irel - different stor ' in these last games had we the proper kind of fields. Sevent j ' -seven Tus was a coach whom e er one loved. He was connected with the college last ear as an assistant coach: but his work with the teams this year has -hown that he needed no assistance in putting out the teams of Westminster. 1 lis straightforward manner and manly way of dealing with all problems rising among the fellows and the teams has won him a warm place in the heart of every student and friend of the college. We will always remember him as a representative of that old-time fight and spirit which he gave to his gang, as he called them. Bunny came to us as a line coach this year and won the admiration of the fellows with his abilit ' to keep e erything and everyone in harmonv. lie was a real football star, and his advice and demonstrations in respect to line playing were er - valuable in making the team a success. His work with the fellows will not be forgotten and we are glad to have him with us. Seventy-eight ,1 A DISHMAN ■■Dishes Captain and Fullback joe was unfortunate in the beginning of the ear in rei:ei ing injuries which i ept him on the bench the greater part of the season Ills absence was keenly felt in the big games. While pla ing fullback, he has the adJ.itional merit of being able to (luarterback the men from litis position. JOHN LAW THER ■■Johnny ' Center nd Acting Captain The pi ()tal position on a football teams is, perhaps, the one most diflicult to properl - fill, ' et it was ad- mirably filled this ear in the person of Johnny. Suffice to say that if all the positions on the team hati been as capabl tilled. W. J would not have had the honor of the western trip. AL ril.X I RANCIS ■■Aku ' - Halfback .Akie is one of the finds of the season, lie pla s clean and hard. When vou watch him from the side- lines. ( Li cannot help but feel that he is one of those leal . mericans who play the game lor the sheer joy of it. II IJ. . 1 R. GOLDS I ROILM ' ■(ii)ltJie I Iaij b. (;k Wortis cannot express our indebtedness to this ' outh from l-li .abeth. I ' a. Rare indeed was the game in which Goldie took no part. He has the enviable dis- tinction of having pla ed 34 quarters this season. While somewhat handicapped by lack of weight on a niLidilN- field, he more than makes this up on a dr field. He is the finest open-field runner that West- minster has had in recent ears. Seventy-nine NORMAN F. IIOELZLE Norm Fullback Norm is a real Westminster man. if noli don ' t succeed first, try again and again. 1 ie is a real athlete. When the whistle blows you alwavs find him in the line-up. Quiet and reserved, he has won his enviable position by the very merit of his ability as back-field man. Next year will be Norm ' s big year. Watch him! F. W.WL.XND LENO.X Suds CiUAKD hen ()U ha e a lineman who is big, yet fast, you lia f the kind of man thai all foolballdom is search- ing for. Such is Suds. 1 his is the second ' ear he has captured the co eted W. He is one of the most aggressive plaxers on the team We are more than sorr ' that we cannot ha e him back in the line-up again next fall. 1 lere to Suds. men! 1 KF.DF.KICK 1F1.1. . 1 . k,. llLLlN ' I ' tiiy CjUARD l in ' is one of the big men of the line. Big, both m si e and hue importance. 1 inv ' s only ob|ection to football is the work entailed m it. But get him started, and ou ' e got something going that takes more than one man to stop .And as a bluffer? The real merit of his playing is that he attacks with both brawn anil brain. JFROMF E. WRIGin ■• erry F ND AND CaPTAIN-HLECT LOR Co.MlNG SkASON We were indeed fortunate in having Jerrv again with us this season. You could invariabl ' pick him out in a game just b checking on the men who were responsible for breaking up the opponent ' s plays, jerrv was always at the head of such lists, fie plays a clean and thoroughly sportsmanlike game and. sub- tracting his other commendable qualities, for this alone we would admire him. Eighty RICHARD BARRETT -Dtck QuARThRBACK There no name we are prouder to print in this annual than that of this year ' s quarterbaLi , Dick Barrett. Every ounce of that man is clear grit. He doesn ' t get confused and is always using the right play at the right time. . s a ground gainer, he is simply there. How he does it you and I can never tell. Perhaps it is because he is a born fighter and ne er knows when to gi e in. ROBHRI ' McVEV CAMPBELL •■Bob Tackle We are glail to remind vou of Bob. If there was ever a Westminster man who deserved his letter, here is one. i le was ne er working primarily for his own advancement, but rather for the glor ' and merit that might come to the Blue and White through his ser- ices. Westminster needs such men. The world needs them. . lav the goddess of fortune alwa s be with ()U, Bob! ARTHUR B. STEWART ■•Butch- Guard He is not confined to the plaving of one position alone. Equally at home on the line or in the back- field, he is in aluable to his team. One game you will find Butch pla ing a halfback, and again in some line berth. It speaks well for a man ' s athletic ability and for his knowledge of the game to pla ' the consistent game that Butch lioes. [A) D K SWDER ■■Buck Fullback Because of his inexperience of the game, we did not hear much from Buck this season. But do not err. gentle readers. L ' nless the .-Xrgo is greatly mistaken, here is a youth who will command a regular berth next year. He is fast and powerful, such a line-smasher as our team is in dire need of. He is an all-around athlete. All he needs is some knowledge of the techni- que of the game — and he is picking that up mighty fast. Eighty-one PHILIP H GOUGII Goughie Guard Phil is one of the new men of the season. But in spite of the recency of his arrixal on our campus, he is cne of the bulwarks of the line. During the games at home we saw him as a consistent, dependable player. Ne er need to worr ' about his side of the line. . nd if there was a hole to be made, nuf ced. STANLEY GRANGER ■■Stan Center We were glad to ha e Stan with us again this fall. We saw enough of him last football season to like him trementlously well. If there is a pla x ' r on the team who enjoys football for the real American light there IS ni It, he is the man. When he is in the line-up. you can be sure that there is no fooling in his sector. CHARLES J. HANCOCK ■■Chuck Iackle It ' s a delight to see this big fellow from ()hio tear into the other line. He is a eritable stone wall. . t the Geneva game especialls. ( buck covered himself with glory. He proved such a nuisance to Grove City here on Lhanksgiving that he deserves our praise, had he (.lone nothing else. Tarzan is one of our really big football men. We ' ll hear from him again. CHARLES THOMPSON ■■Cotton End The first thing that one would notice in watching the playing of this youth is his natural ease of mo e- ment lor Gum is an all-around athlete. He is one of the hardest tacklers of the team. Or if foot work IS called lor. he is on the job. Rare nuleed is the time that he is caught unawares. WILLIAM H. CLEARV Bill End When -ou find a small chap on the arsit ' ' ou can be sure that there is good reason for his being there. Otherwise we would not be writing here of the chap from Erie, . bove all things Cleary is a consistent pla er, he is on the job all the time. He is fast, and a sure tackier. He is a thoroLighlv Westminster plaver, pla -ing clean, straight ball. Kiglity-lwo Results of the 1921 Season Our 1921 football .eaj,c)n a opened here with the leaders of the Ohio Conference, Baldwin-Wallace. W estminster was defeated, though the game was ver ' closel ' pla ed. The following two Saturdays we were defeated by Carnegie Tech and Georgetown L niversit ' . The i ' ollowing Saturday Allegheny was met on our home field. The game we lost was certainlv unusual, for we made lwent -six first downs to Alleghenv s eight. At that we lost merelv hy failure to kick goal. Both Wright, captain-elect for 1922, and Captain Dishman were out of this game on account of injuries sustained in the previous game with Georgetown L nixersitv. l ollowint the Allegheny game we defeated St. Ignatius. In the next game with W. J., champions of the United States for the year, we were defeated. The following Friday, which w as Armistice Day, the whole school iourne ed to Gene a where, with the odds decidedly against us, we came out on the big end of a 0-0 score. I his was followed b ' a scoreless and poorly played game with St. Bonaventure. Grove City journeyed here on Thanksgiving. And in a perfect sea of mud we were defeated in a closelv contested game. Such w as this last season for our school. Below we are giving the statistics of the individual members of the arsity. Weight is in football togs.

Eiglity-four Eighty-five Eighty-six John K. M. Morruw 1922 Basketball For the first time in man ' seasons of basketball, Westminster had this ear an up-to-date g m in which to follow the sport. In the past we have been cramped into quarters that were entirely too small for the college; now we can boast of one of the finest and best equipped gymnasiums in the state. There is no logical reason w h - we cannot again gain that ascendency in the indoor sport which we held in the days preceding the late war. We are beginning to come back to that position, and this season showed the first material advance. None of the varsitv men are graduating this ' ear, so with them back with us the coming season we shall be able to fight our way to a place in the sun. Goldstrohm, captain, and Courtney were the onl ' lettermen back with us this season. Wright, a letterman of the season before, was unable to pla ' on account of injuries received in football. Goldstrohm played guard during the entire season. ( ourtne ' had played center last season, so he started there again this vear. But it was not long till he was shifted to a guard position because of his excellent defensive tactics, l- ' rancis, a new man, began at a forward position, but was shifted to center during the middle of the season. Moore played at both center and forward, being an all around floor man. Turner played best at tor- ward. Thompson was a guard, plaving a hard, consistent game in that position. I larold Sn ' der was one of the also ran in the beginning of the season, but de- -eloped rapidl - and plendidl) ' as the team pla ed. Toward the close of the floor year he was one of the big men in the lineup. His development was so phenomenal that we can expect great things from him next year. l iighl ' -seven WILLIAM R. GOLDSTROHM (jolJie Captain and Guard If you note the pages of the 1923 Argo carefull -, you will observe that Goldie is prominent m football, basketball, and in baseball, in other words, he is an all-around athlete. May we say that basketball is not rated among his lesser abilities. Being captain, he led the team m placing as well as in theory. JACK MOORE Jack Center ■ Jack pro ed to he o:ie of the mainstays of our tt-am this last season. His playing , was above all things eas ' and smooth, yet consistent and full of pep. It was a genuine pleasure to watch hmi carry the ball down the floor when he was seemingly hemmed in on all sides. . s this is his first year, we are expecting great things of this lad from .Mercer the coming ' ear. JACK TURNER Jack Forward W ' e were fortunate indeed in ha ing a fine group of lorwards. Turner was one of the select group. . lthough his playing was at times touched with the erratic, his average pro ed him to be a thoroughlv ' con- sistent and dependable pla er. We must admit that he could play his best when aroused, for then he was like a whirlwind in action. ALTHA FRANCIS Akie Forward and Center It was due to this lad ' s earnest and energetic playing that Westminster was able to maintain her position in basketball. Akie was always on the job. Nor did he ever work for himself, but rather for the team — and the Blue and White. We admire him for his sports- manship and clean playing. Eighty-eiglit HAROLD S. SNI DER Briitie Forward Here is one of the phenomenal players of the past season. Beginning with little or no record in basket- ball, he fought his v a - up till, in the middle of the sea- son he was on the varsity, l-rom that time on, Brutte was one of the big men of the team. His pla ing was always brimful of energs ' . To watch the vigor and force with which he pla ed was enough to clear the drowsiest head. Cll.ARLHS THOMPSON ( OttO)l Guard Cotton never ceased training when football season was o er. but plunged directly into basketball. 1 le is of that pure . merican tvpe that plays a sport for the e er-present jov there is in it. We commend him for it, for it is the underlying principle of Westminster sportsmanship. An injury in the leg forced Cotton to the bench toward the last of the season. His absence on the line-up was keenl - felt bv the team. JAMES 0. COURTNEY Jim Center and Guard Jim pla.ved center last year, making an enviable record. This year he began at the same position, but owning to his great defensive pla ' ing he was soon placed on a guard. He splendidl ' acquitted himself here and finished the season in this position. We can- not say too much of his playing ability or of his value to the team. Nor can we omit, in the short space we have here, to make mention of his thoroughly clean and sportsmanlike conduct. h 54 Kighty-nine Results of the 1922 Season The tlr l game plaved by the Alen ' s Basketball team was a pre-season game. The Pittsburgh Theological Seminary sent its representation to our floor. This v as the initial game to be played in the new gym, and it was a splendid, even matched game throughout. W ' e defeated the Sem fellows, but only by a slight margin, Alfred I ni ersit ' was the first to engage us in a regular season game. We emerged victorious. Thiel, St. Bonaventure, Geneva, Tech, and Duquesne showed us a better brand of basketball than we were able to uphold, and we bowed before each in turn. W ' e defeated Haverford in the following game. Then follow- ed another wave of suppression. When we emerged, we found that we had lost to Wavnesburg, Gro e (jty, and Geneva, although all were exceedingly close con- tests throughout. We next met Allegheny at home. H ere the fellows gave the jinx a slip, and the scliool that had just pre iousl ' humbled lech, Duquesne, and Geneva was in turn humbled b ' us. .After the .Mleghenv game, the varsitv started on its eastern jaunt. Dickin- son defeated us. W e pla ed Gettysburg through an extra perioel, losing one of the hardest fought games of the year. Juniata was humbled by both West Vir- ginia L niversitv and the L niversit ' of Pittsburgh, though we did ourselves justice in both contests. We next took o er Thiel in re enge for the humiliation she had conferred on us earlier in the season. Hiram came to us from the Ohio Gon- ference to do us homage, and subsequently, to bow before the Blue and White. We journeyed to Gro e Chy for the next frav, and in one of the Imest and most spirited contests ever seen on that lloor we lost. Grove Gity won through superior playing. .Alleghen ' was the last game of the season. The contest here was marked throughout b ' close guarding on both sides. Snvder did himself honor by shooting ' eighteen fouls straight. W ' e were defeated by a few points in the closing moments of play. Alleghen and Westminster were about as evenly matched in this contest as one could imagine two teams to be. We had previously beaten them b ' onl ' a few points. Dorothy I-khnch Girls ' Basketball The basketball season for 1022 has proved to be a marked success for the Girls ' Varsity. A schedule, larger than any ever before handled, had been ar- ranged. The following schools were included: The Margaret Morrison School of the Carnegie Institute of Technology, Geneva College, Thiel College, Slippery Rock Normal, and the University of Pittsburgh. ' ictory in the first game with Thiel spurred the girls on to greater efforts, and they won from Geneva, Thiel, and Carnegie Tech in games both at home and abroad. Besides winning these games, the - gave the Pitt girls a bad scare and lost to them by a small score. Much of the success of the team was due to the efficient coaching of the assistant, Conley, who was always ready to help in any way that he could. Captain Logan as guard, ablv assisted bv Gill Gillette, made a name for the Westminster guards. She was always on hand to catch the ball, no matter if it w as near the floor or high in the air, and she sent it back down the floor to our bobbed hair forwards with sustained vigor and unerring accuracy each time. The forwards, Betty and Bernie, did splendid team work. Our veteran star, Pauline Gilkey, did some very commendable pkuing, getting the tip-olT almost without fail. She in turn was ably assisted by Kaddy Kennedy as side center. Kaddie was forced to stop playing, but her place was ably filled b ' Helen Thorn- ton and Marion Stewart, both of whom backed Pauline from start to finish. Not only to the team must the credit be given for the splendid showing, hut also to the remainder of the squad w ho trained and worked that the team might be an A-1 Six. Xinety-oiU ' . inety-t CI LOIS LOGAN Lots Captain and Guard We cannot adequately express our appreciation of the value and work of our indomitable guard. Lois was as nearl ' the whole team as one person could possibl ' he. No forward in all the games was found who could break tlowii her defense. Her plaxing was alv a s spirited and brimful of energy. ELIZ.ABETH F. GAR 1N Betty Forward This was Betty ' s third ear on the arsit ' . AuA it can be largely to her credit that so many ictories were piled up by the girls this last vear. Bettv is consistent in her work. She is alwa s on the job. Her shooting is of the highest order. Let her get near the basket ami the scorer is hard at work. BERNICE E. BROTHERS Beniie Bernie and Betty. our bobbed hair forwards, made an admirable pair for the scoring end of our team. They starred individually by their excellent teamwork. ou never find Bernie taking things easy, no matter if we are winning or losing. She is too ag- gressive for that. Very little rest indeed her guard gets, if she follows Bernie. Xinety-three GERIKLDE GILLETTE • ' Ciiiy Guard Gill ' made an admirable companion for our cap- tain. The baskets that were made through this pair were few indeed. She is a real athlete. Her playing is steady and aggressi ' e. Once she gets her hamis on the ball, it is sure to start again back down the floor. With both Gills and Lois here ne.xt season, Westminster will ha e a pair of guards that simply cannot be beat. PAULINE GILKEV Pauline Center Pauline was last year ' s captain. So it was only natural that we should find her on the varsity again this ear. She always has her place in the line-up. The team wouldn ' t be the team unless she were there. Pauline ' s plaving is of the highest class. There is ne er any let-down in her work. We are indeed sorry to see her pass out this year with the Seniors. DOROTHY E. ROLL Dot Side-Center We can expect great things from Dot in the seasons immediately to come. For this is her first year and she has indisputabl ' won her place beside Pauline. She is swift and sure in her work on the floor. She is accurate and sure of her passing. Dot was a major cog in our winning team this year. Ninety-four Inter-Class Basketball The Inter-Class basketball feature is no new thing in the history of Westminster. Like the traditional Freshman-Sophomore football classic, it is handed down with the supreme purpose oi cementing class fellowship and bringing about a more cordial class rivalrv. Here the mediocre basketball player has a chance to exhibit his waies, since no player who is on the arsit ' squad ma - be eligible for this tournament. The player has plenty of time to decide as to whether he wants to trv out for the varsity or remain a class player. It i cjuite e ' ident that this simple s stem brings forth the best material w hich the classes possess One would imagine that one-sidedness would be characteristic of such a league. This is not true, however, for in the past two years we ha ' e been unable to determine the champions. One year ago we had the entire four classes tied for first place, and in the season just closed we had the Seniors and f-reshmen tied for first place, while the Juniors and Sophomores were tied for second place. It is an outstand- ing fact, therefore, that all the classes have an equal chance to win, even though the Sophomore and Freshman classes do have a larger enroll- ment. There is another feature of the Inter-Class League besides the un- certaint ' of the games, and that is in its liberal opportunitv lor co- educational development. The league is bound to flourish as long as co-education is permissible. An outsider would be surprised at the excellent attendance, did he not know of this cultural opportunitw .Vinety-fivi Ninety-six Ninety-seven Ninety-eight Makcellus Nesbitt 1921 Baseball Little need be written in eulogy of Westminster ' s 1Q2I diamond combination. We could not wholly expect an thing less worth)- than the record effected by our lads. Tutored by an ingenious master of the game, Walter S. Hart — formerly of the Brooklyn Americans — and captained by a veteran athlete of our school, Edgar S. Eddy, our team had an enviable handicap. Only four lettermen were available at the beginning of the season. This, together with bad weather conditions, made Coach Hart ' s work doubly hard. But the saving feature was in the excellent raw material that turned out. Though many of the players were without experience in intercollegiate ba.seball, et the season was marked throughout by strenuous competition lor berths on the varsity. In all, there we.e about twentv-five candidates. Wiggins alone remained at the offering end of the battery. Captain Edd ' and Norm Hoelzle constituted the aggregate of seasoned material qualifying for the outfield, while Eawcett had little trouble reinstating himself at third base. The remaining positions were to be filled by new men. Granger, our Swat King, took the short stop berth. He was abl - assisted in this place bv ElukN (Campbell, the utility man of the squad. Conly and Goldstrohm pla ed a fine brand of ball at first and second base, respectively, while Barrett was chosen as the third man in the outfield. Lennox secured the backstop position: Randall and Guthrie pro ed to be the best mound material. Ninety-nine WALTER S. HART Coach Behold our coach! Not an aspiring or wouid-he coach, but one who has had real pia ing experience. Hub was formerly with the BrooklN ' n Nationals, regu- larly holding a backstop position on that team in da s gone by. He is well liked b - all the members of the squad. The men on his teams pla ' positions according to their abilities and fitness, not according to their desires. EDGAR S. EDD ' Hddie Center 1-iei,d fiddie was captain last year. s such, he held the respect and admiration of all his men. lie fitted into his responsibilities well, and we are sorr ' that we do not ha e him with us this season. Ms a fielder, he was the surest on the lot .At the bat, well — if Eddie couldn ' t lind a good one to ride, no one was likelv to. STANLEY GRANGER -Stan Short Stop ' Stan is a real ball plaver. If sou ha e seen hun in action, you will admit the same, fhere is a certain ease and grace about him that is good to watch. His post on the infield was never disputed. Stan ' s ability at the bat was beyond par Being the heaviest hitter on the team, his appearance at the plate was enough to shake the confidence of most an ' mound aspirant. WILLIAM R. GOLDS I ROllM Goldie Second Base Goldie was almost a fixture at second base, so regu- lar was he on the line-up. But there was a reason, for anyone who desires a place on Hub ' s team must show reason why. Goldie is a fine fielder. He is one of those players who makes hands and head work together. He was a consistent willow artist, his batting average being ery near the top. One Hundred KICHARD .1. BARRETT -Dhk R 11,111 llhLD Dick was one of the most important players on the team last year. In thinking of him, we unconsciously turn to that old saying: Good goods always comes m little packages. He always headed the batting order, for though he was not a heav ' hitter, his hitting was ure and consistent. NORMAN F. HOELZLE Norm Left Field •Most batters seem to have an uncanns ' liknig for hitting to left field. Norm tilled this gap for us the past year. His unerring judgment well fitted him for the post. l ime and again it was he who pulled the game out of the (ire. But there is one persistent peculiar- ity about him that must be brought to light: he gets hit with a pitche ii ball at least once each game. F. WA LAND LENOX Suds (Iatcher Suds pla ed his first season of baseball for West- minster last spring. . t first he was a little erratic in his pegging, but he soon settled down to become one of ihe best backstop men our school has enrolled. He, too, had a peculiarity, one that was in all wa s a bless- ing: If he hit for more than one base, it was always a triple. ne er more nor less. DA ID B. FAWCETT Dave Third B.ase We are indeed sorr ' that Da e could not be with us for the 1922 season, llis absence leaves quite a gap in the infield. Fielding came second nature to him. In that particular realm where everything that comes along has whiskers on it, Da e stood out preeminent. He held one of the pi ot positions on the batting order through his abilitv to c onnect when such a connection was highlv desirable. One Hundred One WALTER CHEERS -Wait ClMCHIiR In remembrance of what might ha e been said. GREGom CONLV ■■Irish- First B sh Our initial sacker comes to us from Brooklyn, N — the land of the Irish and the Jew, But in spite of this handicap, he has pro ed himself to be an invaluable addition to our inlield, Vou will see few college players who are as versatile in their playing as our Irishmari. . n tliing that is in reach of the lirst sack drops, as it were, into a hole.. 11 IM.l: GL rilRIE ■■Honey Pitcher When llonex came out for practice last spring, he chose the outliekl. Mere he displaced such a splendidiv strong and accurate arm, that the coach pulled him in and began vsorking on him as a pitcher. Suffice to say that he proved to be the mainstay of our pitching staff. But this is b ' no means his only outstanding qualifica- tion for the arsit ' . for he was one of the fastest base runners on the team. R.WBL ' RN CAMPBELL -l-Iuky Utility Man If there was a position on the team hard to fill, it was thai of riukv ' s. lie was inlielder, outfielder, pitcher, ail rolled into one — and he (.lidn ' t make a very large bundle. . or does he vet. His general disposition was for the infield. . s a relief pitcher, he showed up ad- mirably in the Grove City game. One Hundred Two Results of the 1921 Season Of the fourteen games scheduled, twelve were played and eight v on. Hngagements with the Lniversit - of Pittsburgh and for the return game with Grove City (College v ere cancelled on account of bad weather. I hree independent clubs from New Castle, the Kiwanis, New Castle Scholastics, and the New Castle Collegians, were met and defeated bv large margins. Victories were exchanged with Slippery Rock State Normal and Thiel College, while the Sharon American Legion aggregation bowed us in a hard fought encounter. Hiram College, who twice defeated us so decisivel)- in the spring of IQIQ, was turned away utterlv swamped. Our hardest overthrows were tendered by Grove City College and St. Bonaventure. Yet here our team de- serves more credit than the score indicates, for the breaks of the game were all against us. On the afternoon of Commencement Dav, in the annual classic with the alumni of our institution, the varsity captured the honors. The outlook for the coming season is indeed promising. W ith practicall) ' the entire varsit ' squad reporting back, Coach Hart should be able to co er his team with more glory than of the 1921 season. The team is certainly well captained in the person of Stanley Granger, an able and aggressive player. The schedule, in so far as it is completed at this earl - date, includes the following games: April 8 — Carnegie Tech at Pittsburgh. April 10 — Slippery Rock at Slippery Rock. April 20— Pitt at Pittsburgh. April 21 — Duquesne at Pittsburgh. April 26 — St. f-rancis at home. May 6 — Sharpsville at home. May 13 — Grove Cit ' at Grove City. May 16 — St. Bonaventure at Sharon.

V ice-Praideut The Lettermen ' s Organization The Lettermen ' s Organi ation is a bod ' composed of all the students ha ing the distinction of wearing the Westminster W . Its purposes, as stated in the constitution, are; to promcjte social welfare among the lettermen of Westminster; to protect and uphold the ideals for which the ensignia stands; and to advise and recommend to the Student (Council Committee concerning the awarding and wearing of the W The organization is, as ' et, in its infancx ' , having been formed in December, 1 )21. It is inclusive of both bo s an l girls who have won their letter. As a result of the interest shown b ' the members, it is assured that this representative body of students will aid materially in reaching the goal of the Greater Westminster. One Hundred Ten ml St Y. W. C. A. The . W. C. A. of Westminster College is an organization of very great importance and influence. The Y. W. stri es to get in touch with e erv college girl through some phase of its work. In the veekl - meetings held every Tuesda - evening at si -thirt ' r . .M., in the Hillside, the girls discuss personal and national as well as campus problems. These meetings are always conducted so as to give the students a broad view of life and to instill in them the importance of having a personal Saviour as their Guide in Life. B ' no means, however, is the social life of the student neglected. The Y. W. with the is responsible for the Who ' s Who, the first big get-acquainted part ' of the vear. The other important social events of the year are the Thanksgixing party, the Chustmas Bazaar and The Spring Hop. The finance problem of the . is met b ' an annual budget svstem. From this budget a certain amount is set aside tor mission- ary purposes, namelv, the Howard Martin and Tom Lambie Funds. This budget also provides for Conference funds and in this way stimu- lates interest in V. W. Conferences held during the ear. All in all, the Y. W. C. A. stands for ever -thing worth while in life and holds before every college girl the ideal principles of our Christian College. )iH ' Hundred Eleven Oiu- Hunilreil Twelve Y. M. C. A. The Y. M. C. A. is the largest (Christian organization in West- minster, for every college man is considered a member. Weekly meetings are held Tuesday evenings, which are very practical for college men. College problems and ideals are freely discussed and the men of the college are brought closer together by the exchange of thoughts and ideas. The activities of the Y are numerous and aried. During the summer the members of the cabinet v rite to prospective students, in- forming them of the college life they may expect. Some time during the first week of school in the fall, the Y. M. assists the Y. W. C. A. in staging the largest social event of the year, called the Who ' s Who. In the spring the Y. M. C. A. offers a troph - cup to the class which is the winner of the inter-class track meet. This shows the interest of the Y in the ph sical de elopment of the college men. Sufficient monev is donated each June to assist several men in representing the college at the International Silver Bay Student Conference held on Lake George, New York. Besides these activities, every Sabbath morn- ing The iMen ' s Bible Class is held under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., with Dr. Love as leader. The Y. M. C. A. of Westminster College is well known among Eastern Colleges as one of the most progressive and influential in any small college. One Hundred Fourteen Student Council Committee The Student Council Committee was created in 1010 to represent the student body in its LO-operation with the faculty and administra- tion. The paramount object at the time was the building of the Greater W estminster. The Committee was an accompaniment of the student demand for a new gym. This august body comprises Westminster ' s student government. It is composed oi four members, elected from the senior class; three, elected from the junior class; and two, elected from the sophomo,e class. The elections are annual, being held the first Thursday of May each year. On the resignation of any member, the acancv is filled from that class which does not have the required quota at the next foium. The chairman of the Committee is elected by a majority vote of the members of the Committee. All actions of the Committee must recei e a majority ' c)te of the members of the cjuorum. Beginning more as an experiment in student government, the powers and privileges of the Student Council Committee have gradu- ally been increa.sed. This ' ear five new amendments were adopted, giving the Committee a greatly enlarged field of action and respon- sibility At least ever} ' eight weeks the minutes of the Cx)mmittee are read in a forum of the student body. This is particularly to keep the students in touch with the work of their representatixes, but it also serves the purpose of keeping the Committee in an open field of action. Here, also, any recommendations from the students are received b ' the chairman for the consideration of the council. Effective student government is the natural outgrowth of an ' healthy, normal, aggressive school, and it is up to the students of Westminster to make their senate effective. Due Hundred Fifteen Merle Burke, Professor Hlbert R. Moses, Pres. W Charles Wallace. Stillman A. I-oster, IIenry S. Evans. V. J. I Iakper . U,KNiom Tau Kappa Alpha One of the first questions asked b ' Freshmen coming; to the college is con- cerning the significance of the ke - hearing the Greek letters T. K. A. which is worn by a few of the older students. In the process of t heir edification they find that it is the emblem of membership in the Tau Kappa .Alpha, a national honor- ary forensic fraternity. To become eligible for membership in the I ' au Kappa .Mpha it is necessary to be a student of good standing in the college and to have represented the institution in at least one inter-collegiate debate. The key is awarded by the college in recognition of faithful work performed b ' the recipient. Debate has received a prominent place in the schedule of college work at Westminster, and the local chapter of the T. K. A. has established an enviable record. Year after ear new laurels have been captured, and now at the close of this ear ' s season we have yet greater reason to be proud of its achievements. Men ' s Inter-Collegiate Debate A new and unique system was tried out this year by the Men ' s Debate Squad. At the beginning of the season negotiations were opened by five colleges, West- minster, Geneva, Carnegie Institute of Technology, Grove City, and Thiel, for the purpose of putting into operation a pentagonal league. The terms and con- ditions being favorable to the above mentioned schools, it was agreed that each institution should place an affirmative and negative team upon the floor to com- nete in a series of debates held .March 10 and 17. Each college v ' ould debate the other institutions once. In the very outset, however, Westminster was handicapped by the fact that ()nl ' two experienced men were available, which left four places to be filled by new men. After repeated tryouts. Professor Moses selected the following two teams; affirmative — Walter Cheers, Merle Burke, and W. Harper Mcknight, v ith Harrison Hartman as alternate; the negative — Clifford Strangewa ' , John F,wing, and John Douds, with Olin Phipps as alternate. In the first series of debates, held March lU, the affirmative defeated Grove City b ' the unanimous decision of the judges, while the negative team dropped a closel - fought contest to Carnegie Tech by a 2-1 decision. In this series West- minster ' s affirmative team debated at home, while the negati ' e team jOurne ' ed to Pittsburgh. On March 17 the negative team met Geneva ' s representation on our home floor, defeating them bv a 3-0 decision. The team, which was composed of en- tirely new men, certainly acquitteLl themselves nobly. On the same night, the affirmative team went to Thiel and defeated the strong team there b ' a 2-1 de- cision. Though she lost. Thiel certainly deserves credit for the argument she presented. As a result of the debates, Westminster leads the league by a close margin. We won three out of four debates, having the favorable decision of nine judges. Geneva is close second, having won three out of four debates, but with the favor- able decision of only eight judges. Mc Knight and Cheers will be lost lo the debate squad next } ' ear, but with the four old men Westminster should be able to maintain her enviable position. There can be no doubt that some of the institutions hereabout will be after our scalp in earnest. Girls ' Debate The prospects for girls ' debate this year are very bright. Although there are but two of last year ' s varsity who will represent Westminster again this year, the squad, as it has been selected, is ' exceptionally strong. W ' e need have no fear that the splendid record made against Ohio ' esle an and the Lniversity of West Virginia last vear will be lessened in any way by the activities of the coming season. Two debates have been scheiluled: one with Geneva and one with Gro e Cit ' . Westminster, in the persons of Ethel Tracy (Capt. ), l larrie Parker and .Mar ' Graham, with Helen McLenahan and Laura McC lure, alternates, will uphold the negati ' e side of the question at Grove Citv; while Geneva will be met at home by Helen Ewing (Capt.), Margaret Reeher and Helen .Mickulonic with Dar lene Lossee, alter- nate. This team will take the affirmatixe side. L ' nder the efficient direction of Professor Moses the teams are rapidlv being prepared for the discussion of the question, Resolved: That the war debt due the L ' nited States from her Allies in the Great War should be cancelled. One Hundred Eighteen Le Cercle Francais The purpose and aim of Le Cercle Francais have been to have the members obtain a greater appreciation for the French language, customs, literature, authors and a greater love for France. The programs have been carried out almost entirely in French. It has been the aim this year to have the latter part of the program devoted to having a good time. With the help of Miss Ilibbard and Miss Stewart, some very interesting meet- ings have been held. Se eral short plavs are being planned, which will be given soon. Due to so man ' interruptions during the vear, Le Cercle Francais has not been as active as in former years, but with the large number of French students and with such helpful guides as Miss Hibbard and .Miss Stewart, there are great prospects in store for the coming vear. May it continue as a permanent organization of the school. James Courtney President Ferdinand Vogan ------ Vice-President ' erna H. Krause ------- Secretary Marguerite Winters ------ Treasurer One Hundred Xinctecn One Ilunrlrid ' I ' wciKy Freshman-Sophomore Activities Throughout the college year there is active rivalry between the two under classes, the Freshmen and the Sophomores. Most of this rivalry is along lines laid down by college customs in Westminster dating back for many years. Perhaps the two oldest of these customs are Freshmen Painting and Sophomore Posters. During the first week of school in the fall, these two activ ities are usuall ' attempted. Bv the custom of Freshmen Painting the Freshmen are given the right to paint their numerals about the town on buildings, walls and streets, and if, after the painting, the sun rises before the numerals have been erased, the Sophomores are compelled to leave the numerals alone; but it is considered legal to erase or cover the numerals any time before sunrise, on the night of painting. The Sophomore Posters are put up under similar conditions. The posters are printed by the Sophomore Class and contain rules for the Freshmen to obey. Flowever, the Freshmen are not required to obey the rules if they destroy the posters before sunrise. These two customs are old ones in Westminster and each year they are religiously attempted with varying results, depending upon the strength and enthusiasm of the classes. Early in the fall is the Annual Flag Rush between the two under classes. The Sophomores sail their banner from the top of a pole and then endeavor to protect that flag from the Freshmen who charge upon the Sophomore ' s position. Often, members from either class are spirited away the night before to weaken the strength of the opposing class and other attempts made to win in any way which may be legal according to the rules of the upper class committee. During football season there is an annual clash on the gridiron between the Freshmen and Sopho mores. Varsity squad men are not allowed to play, but the battles are always hard-fought and the scores are usuall ' low. Some ten years ago, a loving cup was presented to the college to promote interest in debate. The honor of having the class name inscribed upon this cup is annually contested in what is known as the Freshmen-Sophomore Debate. This is particularly important since it brings to light material which may be developed into varsity debaters. The last inter-class event occurs in June when the Freshmen challenge the Sophomores to a Tug of War across the Neshannock. The losing class is towed through the stream. These underclass activities do much to promote college spirit and enthusiasm and to develop the younger students physically, mentally and morallw and it is hoped that the customs ma ' long be preserved and practiced.

In addition no credit is given toward graduation to the members. By this it is obvious to one that those who take the course do so out of appreciation for the higher type of the acted drama.

We opened the season as usual with a home concert in the Chapel. Following this we had a number of single night engagements in the New Castle, Sharon and .Mercer districts. In May, we spent a strenuous week ni the Pittsburgh vicinity, singing in numerous churches and High Schools. Ever -where we received a hearts ' welcome and act|uitted our selves with honor. Our success has been due largel - to the able directorship of Professor Nielsen, together with the lo alt - and hard work of each and every one of it ' s members. There were about twenty-five men in the Club this year. Russell Clements was Presi- dent, and James Courtnev, Manager. Ra -mond Dempsey was at the piano. We had an excellent program, including numbers by the Men ' s Quartet and several iolin solos by Hub Weide. AH in all the season has been a great success. One Hundred Twenty-six The Girls ' Glee Club To those students who are fortunate enough to qualify as members of the College Glee (21ub, it is considered one of the most profitable, enjoyable, and thoroughly desirable fea- tures of student life. The members of the Glee Club meet every Thursday evening for practice, and for an hour, those outside who are fortunate (?) enough to be within hearing distance, are held spell- bountl by the strains of beautiful music echoing from the College C hapel. .After the home concert is gi ' en, the girls eagerl ' anticipate their trip abroad, and the trip in itself is an etlucation. They become accustomed to catching street cars, carr -ing suit cases, being polite to strange people, and above all eating real cake. Last year the Glee Club spent a week singing in Pittsburgh ami icinit.v. The aim of the Glee Club is to gi e recitals in certain sections of the countrv for the advertisement of the college, to interest and to bring as man - young people as possible to Westminster. For the past three ' ears, the Club has been under the direction of Prcfessor Nielsen. Head of the Department of Music, with Miss Margaret Stevenson accompanist. Beside the numbers given by the Glee Club, the programme consists of Piano Solos bv Miss Grace Sowash and selections given b - the Quartette, composed of the .Misses Cullen, Sowash, White- man and Porter. .Although the trip for this ear is . et in the future, it is b ' no means in the dim and distant future, and a er - succe sful trip is anticipated. One Hundred Twenty-seven Artists ' Course For the past three years the Artists ' Courses offered b ' the Con- servatory of Music and under the direction of Prof. Nielsen have been of an exceptionall - high standard. This year has certainly maintained the standard of preceding years, in every number the chapel has been packed almost to overflowing. Many people from New Castle and neighboring towns have been attending these cencerts. A great deal of credit is due to the tremendous effort put forth by Director Nielsen in bringing such great artists to Westminster. The first artist to appear was Evelyn Scotney, colatura soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company. Miss Scotney charmed her audi- ence not onl - b - her beautiful voice, but also bv her friendly per- sonality. The second number of the course was given by Cecil Fanning, the v ell known American baritone. Mr. Fanning came to us with a high reputation, but he left us with a still more enviable one. Who will soon forget his Left. left. 1 had a fine gal when 1 left? Emil Telmanvi, the famous llungarian violinist, was the third artist to come to Westminster. Telmanyi gained fame in Europe and is now making his first American tour. His program was rencfered in such a pleasing and artistic manner as to leave the whole audience with the feeling that the had been in the presence of a truly great artist. Marguerite Namara, prima donna soprano of the Chicago O pera Company, rendered a charming program. Mme. Namara sang with a depth of feeling that gave wonderful interpretation to her selections. On .April 26 Marie Morrise ' , the celebrated American contralto, will appear in the college chapel. For three years Director Nielsen has stri en to secure her presence before Westminster, so v ■e are promised a rare treat. John Powell, America ' s well known composer and pianist, will give a recital in the chapel on May 11th. ( )ne Hundred Twenty-nine One Hundred Thirty One Hundriil Thirty-two The Holcad Yhv W estminster i lolcad, the sister of the good ship Argo, is the official puh- Hcation of the students. It has an enviable record, running back lor manv years in the histor ' of the college. Founded in June, 1884, it was originallv published as a semi-monthly magazine. Later it was changed to a monthlv magazine, and still more recently to a weekly newspaper. The Holcad aims to furnish a means of student expression, to make some record of the happenings on the campus for the alumni and friends of the college, and to furnish some news of the alumni for the students. News, editorials, and literary attempts of various kinds are printed in its columns. During the past ' ear several changes were made in the organization of the stafT, the purpose being to provide more definite work for each member. A few alterations in the arrangement of the material in the paper with a view to making it more attractive and interesting were also made. The most popular addition to its content seems to ha e been the Wake, a humorous section. John Douds, erstwhile debater and literar ' man began the section, and it is to his credit that the W ake has risen to such merit. Student interest in the paper is steadil ' growing, due to the addition of popu- lar columns. ' et it has by no means reached the plane it should, and it is up to the incoming staff to realize this. The new staff of 1022-2T as reported in a recent issue of the Holcad, is: Wayland Lennox . - . _ Athletic Editor Stanlev Granger - _ _ Asst. Ath. Editor Hamilton C.

The company was composed of Miss lllinguorth, soprano; Miss Norway, entertainer; Miss Sevmour. violinist: and Mr. John E. Nestor, impersonator and comedian. The program consisted mainly of English songs and impersonations. December 7th — Edgar A. Guest, a poet of the people and famous lecturer, delighted an immense audience. Westminster was proud to have him as her Guest, for his poems are welcome in tens of thousands of homes because of their cheer, their homel - philosophv and s mpathetic understanding. Mr. Guest said he did not know why he was a lecturer, but those who heard him knew. The entire audience sat under the spell of his readings. He was a splendid story- teller, and could move his audience to laughter or tears. Among the outstanding characteristics of the poet is his patriotism and love for home and family. December 12th — The third number of the Lyceum course v as given by Edv in M. Whitne ' , well known dramatic reader. His reading of Turn to the Right, in which he impersonated twelve characters, was one of the most entertaining things heard in New Wilmington for a long time. The story was so filled with human interest that boredom had no place when Mr. Whitney talked. March {h — The college and town joined together in giving William Jennings Brvan a ro al welcome. Mr. Br an arrived in the college chapel at I I :30 w here he addressed the student body. His talk was largelv informal, deal- ing with the advantages of the small college and also with the fundamentals of effective public speaking. The two basic principles that applies to all speakers and orators are: know what you are talking about; and, belie e what you say. In the evening at 8:1 Mr. Br an spoke in the L ' nited Presbvterian Church on the subject: The Greatest Need of the Hour. It was here that he reiterated his first attack upon the Darwinian theory of evolution. Giving him the choice of being descended either from monkey or mud, he held that he would mighty soon choose mud. In listening to the great Commoner, one could not help but observe his intense religious fervor. It is indeed commendable for the ranks of .American statesmen that the ' can put forth such as .Mr. Brvan. March 22nd — A full house turned out to hear the Baltimore Societv Or- chestra. 1 he program was well received because it appealed to all classes of music lovers. April 10th — Opie Read, noted author and journalist, will be at Westminster. Mr. Read is the best known writer of southern stories. His works include: The Carpetbagger, The Juckling, and The Kentucky Colonel. April 24th — Montreville . L Wood, one of America ' s most entertaining scien- tists, will give the final number of the Lvceum Course. One Hundred I ' liirtV icven Hallowe ' en GHOSTS! BLACK CATS! WTICHES! No. we didn ' t see them all, but didn ' t ou hear them ' 1-airies, Elves, Intlians, — they were all there. I he halls and reception rooms were arlisticalK decorated in autumnal suggestions: corn shocks, pumpkins, and leaxes of every color and hue. The whole place was a medley ol cats, witches, ghosts, — and evers bodv had a good time. As usual, the drawing-room v as the dining room. Delicious re- fieshments were served. This room also looked ver iiniling — the hu; e fireplace was banked with leaves and surmounteil h ' jack O, Lanterns; the lights were softl ' shaded, throwing an illusi e cast over the whole scene: the whole place looked wierd and spooky, just as it was supposed to. But even the spookiest evening must come to an end. The Spirits and Fairies went back to Fair land. and the Witches went their be- witching wa ' . So ever one shuddered in their loneliness and de- parted to dream ghostly dreams. Even so, who dares sav that this Hallowe ' en Part - wasn ' t the best ever? ( )iu- 1 1 Mil. li e . I Thirty-nght Dr. Ferguson ' s Birthday Celebration February 16, 1922, is a day which will always remain in the memory of Westminster students, for it was the day on which was celebrated the eightieth birthday of Westminster ' s Grand Old Man, Dr. Robert Gracy Ferguson. The celebration started in the chapel. Dr. Love spoke first, in behalf of the alumni, in appreciation of Dr. Ferguson ' s life on our campus. After a few words b - the President, Dr. f-erguson himself spoke. In the course of his speech he gave us his formula for living eighty years of happy and serviceable life. In the afternoon we were all given the opportunity of shaking hands with the octogenarian at a reception at the Hillside, which was in charge of the Girls ' Bible Class of which Dr. Ferguson was teacher for so many years. Here he was presented with a beautiful leather bound Bible from his class. ' Fhe Faculty Club, represented by Prof. Moses, presented him with a traveling bag and Mrs. Ferguson with a lovely basket of flowers.- We students of Westminster are proud to claim the personal friendship of so honored and loxable a man Westminster implies the presence and spirit of Dr. Ferguson, and we symbolize our fellowship with him in calling him the Grand Old Man of Westminster. Washington ' s Birthday Party Dearest Mother and Dad; — This has been the most exciting day in all the ear. I ha e so much to tell ou that 1 don ' t know where to begin. So I ' ll just outline the whole program: Chapel assembled at 1 1 ;30. Rev. Harry Chalfant, who gave the main ad- dress, was introduced by Mr. Jordan, ' 91. Mr. Jordan made such a clever intro- duction. The Girls ' Glee Club sang Aunt Margery — it w as the cutest thing. Strolled after chapel. Strolled in the afternoon with some other kids. Started for New Castle, — and mother, we hopped a ride! Isn ' t that awful! Don ' t be disappointed, will ' 0U ? Last night we had a partv at the Hillside. The parlors looked darling — all dolled up with festoons of red, white and blue. And the chandeliers looked so tempting with great bunches of big, red cherries. Candles were used for lighting. Everyone had the best time! We played games, danced the Va. Reel, ate cherry pie and ice cream, and oh!! it was wonderful. ■ ' ou ' U forgive me, won ' t you, old dears? Was it an unpardonable sin to ride in an automobile? I ' m so tired. Excitement is head on — Your loving daughter, Betty. One Hundred Thirty-nine Armistice Day In a student assemble at 1 1 :()() ( clock. Armistice Day was fittingly observed. Director Nielsen led the chorus in the singing of America. after which Dr. W allace pronounced the invocation. 1 he addresses of the morning uere given by those of the college who were in the ser ice at the time the armistice was signed. The first speaker was Dr. E. R. Russell of the Department of Historw who was in the Coast Artillery service, Fortress Monroe, irginia, at the time of the signing of the armistice. He spoke of the celebration of this memorable day in the towns and cities throughout the entire land. In speaking of the conditions of todaw he urged the development of national tolerance as the onh ' immediate hope for world-wide peace. Prof. E. J. Eberling, 1st Sergeant, Syracuse L ' niversity Unit, U. S. Army, ( ontrexe ille, Vosges, France, told of the expression of the people at the front on that eleventh day of November, 1 ' -)I8. lie ividl ' pictured some of the terrible scenes of battle and bombing. I lis talk was tremendouslv interesting, for he tokl lis man ' of the ultimate things — the little details which tell the whole story so well. Miss Elizabeth Cameron W ' hiteman of the facult ' . Index and (Catalogue Clerk. Quartermaster ( orps, Suppiv Di ision, Tours, France, spoke after Mr. Eberling. W hile she was not actuall - at the front at the time, et she was able to draw for us a real picture of the rejoicing that was so prevalent everywhere behind the lines. Being one of the few U. S. Army women in France, her speech was doubl - welcomed. Walter (Cheers, our student representative. Sergeant of the 31st Aero Squad- ron, was stationed at the time of the signing of armistice at Issoudun, France. Ills talk was very interestin g in that he dealt with the part the air forces played: that element of the late war, which we visualize so much, yet really know so little about. .At one minute to twelve Dr. Wallace called the assembly to attention and as the hour struck, silent tribute was given to those who made the supreme sacrifice for the world and their Cuxi. There are three gold stars in the Service Flag of Westminster to commemorate the sacrifice of Robert C. Dornon, }. Wilbur Randolph, and J, Clifford Richards. The service of the morning was a beautiful tribute to the men ami women who made Armistice Day possible. One Hundred Forty The Graham Memorial Until recent years the College entertained a unique custom in Freshmen- Sophomore Class activities. Perhaps we should sa ' that the College did not invite or sponsor the custom, but rather accepted it as a harmless instrument to the fostering of a lively class spirit. The Sophomores were privileged to bring a large stone on the campus and defend it against the Freshmen. If the Freshmen succeeded in getting at the stone and burving it, the honor was theirs. Doubtless to say, there was some strenuous diligence cultivated by certain Freshmen and Sophomores. All seemingly went well till the classes of ' 11 and ' 12 were Sophomores and Freshmen respectively. More than the usual amount (jf energy was displa ed by these two classes in the pursuit of the custom, with the result that a spirit of open hostility became manifest. Fhe stone which the class of ' 11 had brought on the campus was buried and dug up several times. Feeling became so strong that the Faculty finally ordered the stone sunk and to remain sunk. Fhe Freshmen com- plied with the order and the object of dispute was removed from the e es of all. But the bur ing of the stone did not carr - away the feud that had arisen. Flarmony was broken, and the breech remained open e en as the classes passed out in graduation. The Word War came and passed. .And in that war there was a certain son of Westminster made the supreme sacrifice for his God and C2ountr -. Paul Delbert Graham, of the class of ' 12, did not return from the field of honor. Robert M. Russell, Jr., took occasion of the untimely passing of this member of the opposing class and, as president of the class of ' 11, he wrote to William H. McNaugher, president of the class of ' 12, suggesting that the feud be fore er buried in the person of their beloved fellow-student. On the morn of Graduation Dav, a bronze tablet inlaid in the resurrected stone of contention and strife was unveiled on the campus before a deeply moved gathering. And those of ou who wish may read on that stone the memoriam of Paul Delbert Graham, a one time student of our honored school, he who with his life brought peace again among his fellow men. One Hundred Forty-two May Day The da - set apart for the crow n in, ' j; ol W estminster ' s Ma ' Queen dav ned dismal, ilark, anil foreboding. At noon the sky was completely overcast, while tliL wind howled and blew in such a manner as to have caused consternation e en in the month of January. The rain descendeil in torrents, and bitter disappoint- ment was wiitten on e er ' face. But all things must end, and a bad beginning is sometimes followed b - a good ending; such being the case on this occasion. W ind and rain both ceased, lea ing an evening that was cool, delightfull ' calm and fiesh. The sun came out and smiled on the reviving preparations. In spite of the earl ' unpromising aspect of the weather, a large crowd was as:embleLl to iew the Ma ' Queen as she stepped from her llower-covered car and ciossed the green sward to her throne. She was followed b - her sister class- mates who were beautifully gowned in delicately tinted fiocks. In their arms they cariied large bunches of spring flowers. On reaching her throne, garlanded with eaily spring blossoms, the Queen knelt and received her rose and lily crown from the hands of the retiring queen. The strains of the music which had been heard throughout the ceremony grew stronger as the Queen took her throne. The pageant, arranged in her honor now began. First of all came a group of gaily dancing summer sunbeams, tossing golden rays to each other in the form of golden balls. l-or a time thev pla ed happily, but at last were frightened awa ' by gray clouds who were slowly approaching. The clouds beckoned to their plavmates, the rain-drops who, in spite of their drab costumes, piesented an attracti e appearance as thev pattered over the grass. The sunbeams by this time had regained their courage and came back to the fair - ring, chasing the raindrops aside. A rainbow followed: graceful girls in blue, purple, and gold frocks with wide scarfs streaming in the breeze, wove in and out among each other so swiftly that one was indeed reminded of the rainbow with its ever-changing color. Summer goes and fall is here heralded by brightly colored autumn lea es and stately goldenrod. This dance was interrupted by the entrance of Jack Frost in a suit of silver sheen. The part was taken by Miss Melen McKenzie. Her dance may well be said to have been the most beautiful of the whole program. As she danced, she touched the swa ing goldenrod and the autumn lea ' es; and at the touch, they sank to the ground for their long winter sleep. The growl of winter wind was heard, and ere the ' had come well into view, a flock of tiny snow flakes stole upon them unawares. These staved until sent away by the playful but insistent spring bieezes who whispered to spring flowers that May was here. As a grand finale, the Senior girls wound the Maypole with bright colored streamers. So ended one of the prettiest May Day programs that has ever been presented at W estminster. One Hundred Forty-four One Hundred Forty-five An Easy NA orld It ' i an easy icorld to live in ij yon choose to make it so: ) on never need to sufjer, save the griefs that all must know; If you ' ll stay upon the level and do the best you can You will never lack the friendship of a kindly fellow man. Life ' s an easy road to travel if you ' ll only walk it straight : There are many here to help you in your little bouts with fate; When the clouds begin to gather and your hopes begin to fade. If you ' ve only toiled in honor you won ' t have to call for aid. But if you ' ve bartered friendship and the faith on which it rests For a temporary winning; if you ' ve cheated in the tests. If with promises you ' ve broken, you have chilled the hearts of men; It IS vain to look for friendship for it will not come again. Oh. the leorld is full of kindness, thronged with men who want to be Of some service to their neighbors and they ' ll run to you or me When we ' re needing their assistance if we ' ve lived upon the square. But they ' ll spurn us in our trouble if we ' ve always been unfair. It ' s an easy world to live in; all you really need to do Is the decent thing and proper and then friends will flock to you: But let dishonor trail you and some stormy day you ' ll find To your heart ' s supremest sorrow that you ' ve made the world unkind. — Edgar A. Guest. Junior Orations Great and deep was the feeling of exultalicjn which spread over the class of ' 23 when it was announced in chapel that Junior Orations were no longer required for graduation. However, at the suggestion of the Faculty, the Junior Class decided not to dispense with the Junior Oratorical Contest. The majority of Juniors were registered in the Oratory Class, and orations were delivered in place of exams. As yet. it cannot be announced who the contestants will be, for they will try out of their own free will.

The pole rocks — hear those girls scream — Nesbitt raises his gun — one minute to go. Philo— s the flag still up? Theo — The rush is over. They are already leaving the field. Philo — It was a most valorous rush, and fairly conducted. 1 can hear them still cheering. — Herbert WsmE. )nt. Hundred Forty-nine The Peace Pow-Wow Near midnight on a most beautiful night in early summer when the stars are shining in countless millions over our heads and we feel the soft grass under our feet and the gentle breezes blow to and fro among the leaves, we find ourselves standing around a camp fire on the north side of the college campus, singing and cheering, for it is the night of the annual Peace Pow-Wow. We stop and listen for a moment and lo! the spirits are talking to us. We think back over the da s when we were Freshmen, how the Sophomores tried to make us feel like the men and women we reallv were, and how the ' found out that there were some difficulties in bringing a Freshman to know his real place. .As a result there were everal disputes and no few quarrels. The spirits keep telling us that when we came to be Sophomores, we also had trouble in putting the Freshmen where they belonged, and how we envied the upper classmen who had the real authority. As Juniors, we remember that it was our lot to keep hands off and be mere lookers-on; but the temptations were too great for us at times. ■As we think of all these things we wish there could come a time when every- thing would be put to rights and all things forgiven. The spirits cease for a moment and we come back to the scene before us and we see emerging from his wigwam on one side of the fire, where are gathered the members of his tribe and their sisters and brothers in spirit, a big Indian chief wrapped in his blanket and decorated with his warpaint and feathers, lie stops in front of the fire and soon another chief, in like garb appears on the other side of the fire. The ' meet and exchange salutations and we hear the spirits speaking to us again. The first Indian tells how his tribe had always upheld the honors and traditions of the school and that since they were now passing into the great be- ond, he was giving into the keeping and care of the next generation everything which the - held dear and sacred. The oung chief swears that he and his tribe will be faithful to the trust. But the old chief feels that before he leaves he would like to be at peace and to feel that all quarrels and disputes had been for- given by the younger generation. So the two chiefs smoke the pipe of peace, and we see our dream realized before our eyes for we know that all hard feelings are henceforth cast to the four winds and we have made peace with our most despised enemies. So the chiefs go back to their own tribes who receive them with cheers and songs, the ounger one with a feeling of great responsibility because of what he had received for his tribe, the other with a feeling of sadness and sorrow, for he knows that on the morrow he must lead his tribe forth to new battlefields and that the ' would not be together again as a tribe in the sacred halls of Westminster.

O where did the Freshmen sleep that nightf And where did they lay them downf They were far away when they hit the hay, Yea. far from the college town. The pole was cut and stripped of bark And laid on the dewy green. And the Freshmen came back in a gasoline hack Before the sun was seen. The armies gathered for the fray .Arrayed in ancient mail: So tune was that for a swell cravat Ur a shirt with a silken tail. A shot rang out. up rose the pole. The Freshmen charged amain. The flag flew out and a battle shout Rolled forth across the plain. One Hundred Fifty-two The battle closed ivith a clash of arms. Brave men rolled on the ground In close embrace, ' till in the place No unloved man was found. Sir Stevie bold essayed to climb.

I he mountains and lake are beautiful and the atmosphere is delightful. There the organizations of the Eastern Asso- ciation of Colleges meet in Conference every spring for a period of ten days. Westminster is one of the smaller colleges of this association, and about the farthest away. Yet a Westminster man is distinctive on the campus at Silver Bay because Westminster has a reputation for doing things. She has a live Y.

MORAL IDEALS Westminster has for her ideal effort the harmonious blending of broad scholar- ship, pure morality, and an evangelical atmosphere such as will foster reverence for the Bible as the word of God and sympathy with the missionar ' program of Christ. It is maintained that sane college discipline must demand from college students the same moralit ' which has characterized the Christian homes from which thev come, and that under no circumstances should oung people who are learning to make a living and a life through the sacrifices of Christian parents and endowments of the Church, be permitted a lower grade of moral conduct than those of their own age who, in the home communitw are doing the work of life.
