X f B B XLJ 3HACU1HiT6lIB 9 I I-ACULTY Our Profs ln order to function properly, to carry out the various intricate details to which it is assigned, an organism is wholly dependent upon its component parts. The regularity and the effectiveness with which each part performd its own peculiar work determine to an immeasurable degree the efficiency of the organism as a unit. This is obvious from the outset. It would taker only a casual observer to realize the deep significance that this simple truth illustrates when applied to our Faculty. Were it not for these faithful men and Women, and the truths for which they stand, Wheaton College could not exist. One needs 'only to give a cursory glance at their past records to prove that this fact is not only palpably true but beyond dispute. But that is not all by any means. There is another fact which does not lite so near the surface and which is of deeper significance. Were it not for their strength and beauty of character, the lives they daily live in our midst and their unwavering faith in the Word of God, Wheaton would not stand out among the colleges. of the land today as one which stands preeminently For Christ and I-lis Kingdom. A Through their patient toil and never-ceasing vigilance they have fastened the college on a foundation which will stand the shock of centuries. Satan has hurled and will continue to hurl at her his age-old modernistic artillery. But she is built on the Rock, Christ Jesus, and because of that she will endure. It is through their patient and kindly help that men and women have gone forth into the many walks of life to serve I-lim. And they are better equipped for the battle which everyone must face sooner or later because they have been under minds governed by the principles of our Lord during the years when the least pressure changes the shape of the clay. g Gratitude is all that we can give them, for man's praise is emptyg but this we know, that for them there awaits a greater happiness-that of the lVlaster's voice, Well done.

ALUMNI Alumni Association of Wheaton College PART of the purpose of the Alumni Association, as stated in the new constitution, is to foster and perpetuate the enthusiasm of the Alumni for the College , as well as to ensure more effective com- munication between them on matters of mutual interest. That there needs also to be a closer bondbetween the Alumni and those who are to become Alumni-the students of the present-both groups are beginning to realize and much, though not all, of the activity of the year among the Alumni has been in that direction. ' The first forward step of the year was the adoption of the new consti- tution at the Annual meeting in June. This provides for a more definite objective and organization of the Association and has prepared the Way for a great advance in the activity of the Alumni. The President and the three Vice-Presidents are no longer simply honorary officers but they have definite duties and responsibilities. The Secretaryrand the Treasurer have no less to do than formerly, but on the contrary are assigned greater tasks. An innovation in the constitution is the article providing for the Alumni council-the Association's officers and a secretary from each class- the Association and the College . It is anticipated that this body will be pro- ductive of much valuable initiatory activity. The Alumni as a body have participated with interest and profit in the Home Coming season and the gathering in honor of the 75th birthday of President Blanchard. Smaller groups have carried on class letters and formed local organizations in one or two places.- Some Alumnae who work in Chicago have started a monthly luncheon-meeting. All these mean closer co-operation and greater activity. r An Association effort of vital importance to both the Association and the College is the movement instituted among the Alumni to give them an opportunity of participating in the building expansion of the College that is about to begin. This is bound to serve as a stimulus to interest, to prayer and to co-operation among the members of the Association. . But there is room for still greater- increase in the activity 'of the Alumni on behalf of their Alma Mater. Sometimes when as the vision is seen of all that can be accomplished for and through the College when all the six hundred Alumni are fired with the possibilities of the situation it causes wonder at the magnitude of the opportunity. More students and more build- ings, more means and more consecration-these can come to the College from the Alumni as they pray, as they work, and as they give, that the cause of Christ and I-lis.Kingdom may be upheldland prospered by all the College family.

McDonald, Los Angeles, Am teaching Agriculture full time at the Indiana Development School. The Los Angeles Examiner quotes her, Many subnormal children have been brought up to standard in a remarkably short time by their association with and study of plants, flowers, and vegetables, which they cultivate with their own hands. When a child can see a dwarfed, stunted, diseased plant and can be shown the causes which have produced such effects, and when some fault or failing of his own can be pointed out and compared to the ugly condition of the plant, the child gets a more thorough conception of his own shortcomings. This is followed by a genuine desire and resolve, in most cases, to overcome the defects. V We had a Wheaton reunion, a farewell to Martha Mills, 'l6, and her father who were sailing for the Philippines, where we were told Martha is to join her fate and live happily ever after. Forty of us sat around the picnic table and feasted on old faces, as well as goodies. 'I l. Gretchen Chamberlain, Trenton, N. Enjoys her new home in the East but misses her Illinois friends. 'll.

A.1'1'U1VI,NI The Class of 'zz'- Dear Tower Reader: It seems to be my duty to give you the news of thirty-seven members of the class of '22, all in the brief confines of this one page. As l must of necessity choose between rhetoric and news, l have chosen to give you a hasty but thorough glimpse of the class, and it is only a glimpse. Since graduation, we have separated into many walks of life. The majority are teaching, others are studying, preaching, keeping house., some are in the busi- ness world. Ten are classified in the census as married ' The Religious fieldlays definite claim to four: Oscar Johnson, who has a pastorate in Aurorag Marcus Cheng, teaching in Chinag Henry Tweed and Anna Sperry, happily married, both of whom are preparing to sail for Africa at once. Only two have succumbed to the call of business: Howell G. Evans, after a year's teaching, is travelling for the Hamilton Mfg. Co. Howell was married last June to Miss Dorothy Gowran of Two Rivers, Wis. Billy Jones reports that she is General Utility Woman inher father's office. Five of the class are devoting all their time to study: Bill Fisher, study- ing law at Harvardg Roland Clapp, preparing to be a doctorg Fred Moore, attending Moody lnstituteg Phlora Nowling, continuing at Wheaton and Co- lumbia, Arnold Pent, working at the National Bible lnstitute in Philadelphia. Then, four of the girls have lost their identity: Esther Rice went to South Dakota to teach and remained to keep house for Mr. Robinson. Most unexpected was the news of the marriage of Marie Ave and Charles Farn- ham. Less of a surprise, however, was the announcement of Bessie Hunter's marriage to Mr. M. Stevens. The last of this lucky quartette is Marie Neddymeyer, now known as Mrs. Jerry Knater.

We have a new Evangelist with us, a portable Sonora-first cousin to the Victor, bought with a Christ- mas gift of last year. These village folk are vastly interested to hear the music of 'G-lass.-baja,' as they call it, and are particularly surprised when they hear out of the Rahib's strange box the sound of their native tunes. Christian choruses sung by a men's choir in a Mission school. One noon a crowd of natives with their bundles of fodder on their heads gathered to hear the music from the box. Who knows but what some wayside seed may find root, and some day bear fruit? Leonard Larson, '20, China. ul am still located in King Chow teaching English in the Seminary and Middle School. This year we have about l00 students enrolled., The teaching staff consists of six foreigners and eight Chinese, one of these being Marcus Ch'eng. Nearly fifty per cent of our Middle school graduates enter the Seminary and later become Christian workers in our Mission, which convinces us that our work is not in vain. Last summer l spent on Kuling, where l met some Wheaton Alumnae, among others Miss Gernhart, who had lots of interesting news about former classmates and teachers. I hope that another summer all Wheaton Alumnae who spend their vacation on the Mountain will find opportunity to have a reunion, and learn to know one another and talk over past experiences. Marcus Ch'eng, '22, China. 'il am teaching in the King Chow Theo- logical and Middle school and besides have rich opportunity to preach the Gospel in many of our churches. ln my leisure minutes. l help to translate James Orr's Bible Encyclopedia. Even out here the Modernism menace has come in, so we need to spread the true knowledge about our Lord and l'lis Word against the Modern speculation and hypothesis. l-lope and pray that God sends us more Wheaton Alumni. Come over and help us. Arthur G. Lindquist, '23, China. After I left Wheaton l spent a week at home, and then sailed from Seattle on September 25th. At present we are busystudying the language. In order to bring the Gospel to these people we must have a Bible school in which to train Christian workers. This is the work l am praying that the Lord might use me in. China is open to the Gospel now, but very few people are ready to preach the Word.t' Do pray for the work. ' ' Lucinda Gernhart, '21, China. My sister and l are both in China. After a year's work in the language school at Nanking l will be with Ella at l-lenchow, I-lunan. It is easy to get a following in China. When a for- eigner walks down the street all the children in the neighborhood are at his heels, and the grown-up folks are not slow in responding. l trust many more Wheatonites will come to China. D , , Clara Nelson, '23, China. China is certainly a wonderful place with' a wonderful people. My first year will be spent in school. With the language like that of China, one finds very little time for anything else. Until one can speak with the natives, the contact is very slight, but, of course, one sees a great deal, and receives impressions. The ignorance, filth and disease are appalling, but the power of God to transform lives is certainly evident out here. l am so happy to be here, and praise God for the privilege of coming. l expect my work will be evangelistic, and it is certainly great to bring Christ to a land where l-le is needed so much. Meebold, Louise. Word comes that the church and parsonage where Miss Meebold and Dr. Kennedy were living were burned in December. Yet with smiles at their losses they plan for greater advances in the future.

C . 3 . .. s History of the Senior Class 'Tis a long way, yetvnot such a far call, from ye oulde days of the Chronicle of England's great Alfred to this of our Class. The purpose of Alfred's Chronicle was to portray the characteristics, customs, appearances, and pleasures and struggles of the time, for the profit of succeeding gener- ations. So, we of the '24 Class, pass .on the Annals of our Uprovendef' hoping they may effectively, though silently, inculcate lessons of dignity in the minds of the coming generation, warm the hearts of reminiscent way- farers, and aptly portray the inspiration of our professors, the labor, and loy- alty of our leaders, and the fortunes and misfortunes of our graduates. 1 When we as Frosh arrived in this suburb of Chicago, it was after no greater mishap than a few nights on the Pullman, a tedious wait at some junc- tion, or a few hours or days bumping along in the family limousine. We taxed our verdant brains to the deciphering of the MWF's and Trims inscribed all over our programs. Our next privilege was that of standing in line at least half an hour before being obliged to Ipart with our lone spare roll in the Treasurer'sf office. And l've heard that the Registrar and his office force dreamed for nights of multitudinous small green num- bers. ' Frank Dodge was our first President, Marie Kaecker, Vice-President, Joe l-lammond, Secretary, and Matthew Evans acted as roll-rider. The Sophs about this time acquired an appetite for the buns which we had pur- chased for our hike to Glen Ellyn, butllater thought better of it and gave us a party in the gym. l suppose the reason it was not on the grass was the fear of a superabundance of green. V ' Having come out right side up the first year seemed to turn our heads somewhat. So we decided to plunge in deep while we were at it, and chose the football captain-elect as our class president, walked off with the men's debating contest with the aid of Sanders, Carvel, and Crofts, and the bas- ketball honors with Captain Mason and his henchmen, the first team in three years to down the '23er's. Our other class officers were Joe Hammond, vice-president, and Alice Reinhart, secretary-treasurer. U . It is a sound pedagogical principle to begin with first things. So we began our Junior year with the usual addition and subtraction of class mem- bership. Victory again favored our debating trio, changed not at all as- to personnel or ability. And our athletes carried off the honors, equally ac- cording to tradition. Under the leadership of the Student Council, the Class of '24 had the privilege in the fall of their Senior year, in conjunction with the Faculty and representatives from the other classes, of acting as hosts to the Alumni at the first HOME COMING Reception given at the Dorm. Then a grand and glorious return to our childhood days was enjoyed at a Christmas party. And now, as Seniors, we are striving for lal rels, wearing at times our customary suits of solemn black, but with faces fore, we look for greater victories ahead.

Four years ago a very shy little damsel entered the doors of Wheaton, timidly seeking entrance to the halls of learning that she might improve her store of knowledge and Ht herself to help others. 7'Mil has retained just enough of her shyness to make her a charming class- mate. Never shirking a duty, and ever trying to evade praise, in her own unobtrusive way she has been doing the things- which count. She has been an industrious and loyal Phil, one of those to be counted upon when others failed, and always on hand with a cheery smile. As a member of the Y. W. cabinet and as a Volunteer she has been a faithful worker for the Master and hopes to serve Him in China. ' Lileth Weber Dille. Lileth came to us from Chicago in 1919, such an irresistible compound of beauty, brains, and fun that she soon assured her- self of a firm place in all the activities of the school, scholastic and otherwise. ln 1921 Lee left us to be, she said, an old-maid schoolrnarmf' Laudable as was that aim, she did not permit herself selfishly to pursue. her own desires to the exclusion of the happiness of others, and June 23rd, l923, found her safely embarked upon her life career as Mrs. Chester Dille. Promptly turn- ing over her school teaching to Chester, Lileth returned to her Alma Mater to pick up the threads of her school' work again, and graduate with the class of '24, and glad indeed were we to welcome her. ' Kathleen M. Bull. Two years ago Kathleen came from Valparaiso to Wheaton, a distinct gain to the class of '24, Her characteristically expressed, decided opinions, as well as her name, soon revealed her English ancestry. Whether her literary ability is proof of the same we know not, but suffice it to say that Kathleen's poetry, written under the nom de plume of Johnny Bull, has given much enjoyment to the school at large, while the Phils have been especially privileged in hearing her essays and poetry. She has the characteristics of a good teacher, and in that pursuit we prophecy great success. Thirty-nine :fi I l I f I CLASSES LILLIAN G. NORRIS DOROTHY Q. MILES MARJORIE MILES Lillian G.

I-ler soft ul-low are you all? is a signal for cozy talks and get-togethers, for as a hostess Lil is -un- excelled. As social chairman of the class this year Lil has made things go' from the very start, and she has filled the president's chair in 'both the Glee Club and Phils gracefully and well. Lil may try an Eastern college for a year or two, but her life interest is centered in her father's church in Fort Worth, and she plans to be his general right-hand man in the near future. Doirothy Miles. Dot has been with us only two years, but in that time she has won a warm place in our hearts, not as Marjorie's sister fthough that would be enough, but for her own sweet sake. Accomplished along many lines, Dot is most generous in the use of her talents, and has often given great pleasure by her musical ability, being a very artistic pianist and sympathetic accompanist as well as the composer of several of the college songs. She has the Christian's secret of a happy life and shares it freely. We know she will be a-rich blessing wherever she may be, For greater is l-le that is in you than he that is in the worldf' Marjorie Miles. We do not need to tell any Wheaton student that Marjorie is a lovely Christian girl, for her every word and action reveal that truth. She came to us as a Sophomore having spent her first year of col- lege life at Middlebury Vermont She has been a most faithful member of the Aelioian Society serving as recording secretary one semester and ably acting as president the last semester of her school course ln her unior year Maryorie was secretary both for her class and for Mission Study also Calm self reliant and capable especially In Greek Marjorie is eminently fitted for work on the foreign field and wherever she may be will render her best service for her Master Forty Q I - - .

EVERETT O. DOROTHY NELSON Josephine Hammond. When Joe went to Wooster for her Junior year most of the organizations were busy filling offices. In her class, Phils, Student Council, Glee Club, W. IA. A., Record, and Tower, Joe was an active and efficient worker. She was with us first semester, but her trouble has been, Not that I love dear Wheaton less, but I love old Wooster more. So she went back to graduate in Ohio instead of Illinois. Her solo work in the Glee Club has been noteworthy, and she has gladly lent her clear soprano to grace festive occasions. She plans to teach or enter the business world for a few years and eventually hopes to follow the standard of fthe Cross under foreign skies. Esther M. Everett. Esther is a loyal daughter of Michigan. I-Ier four yearsin Wheaton have been filled to the brim with outside activities-as manager of the girls track team, in basketball, in the Walking Club, in work for the Tower, and in the Aelioian Literary Society, serving at different times as Treasurer, Record Reporter, and Secretary for the latter. As president of the Y. W. C. A. during her Senior year she has been equally enthusiastic and efficient. Esther plans to spend her life across the sea in service for others. She will, We feel, sure, carry with her the spirit of Wheaton, and will do everything, as she has in the past, For Christ and l-Iis Kingdom. O. Dorothy Nelson. Dot hails from Aurora and has been with the class the whole four years. A loyal Ael, and an ardent Cmlee Club supporter, shehas had her share in the work of the college activities as well. Four years of dormitory life has not lulled to sleep her desires and ambitions. 'Nor has a year's practice teaching dimmed her faith in the art of transmitting knowledge. She plans to teach the young idea how to shoot, and if patience, perseverance, and reliability are the necessary factors of success, Dot will have her full share. Forty-one , .5 ,gs- CLASSES WlLMA M. GRABILL ALICE G. HOWARD N. ELIZABETH CONLEY Wilma M. Grabill. There's a charm about Billy that adds to the pleasure of classroom, literary society, or social event. Whil'e making college in three years, she has yet made her place in many extra-curricular activities, to which she has contributed much in the way of originality. The Aels can testify to this, as can those of us who have. heard her debate. And when we look into the future, we even wish we might be on Wilma's class list when she starts teaching, for, having made the most of her' opportunities in therenowned Practice School, Wilma has already shown herself to be a master of the art. I Alice G. Howard. A Allie has been an outstanding figure in her years at Wheaton. Record, Tower, Student Volunteer Band, W. A. A., all claim her, and this year she has not only' acted as Vice-President of the Student Council and Secretary of the Y. W. but has given the Aels a most suc- cessful administration as President. An ardent Volunteer for the Master, Alice has felt the call very strongly. l-ler life work has been definitely planned since she was able to talk and she will enter the Presbyterian hos- pital in Philadelphia next September to train as a nurse for service on the foreign field. ' N. Elizabeth Conley. When we think of Connie we think of tennis, basketball, and all around good sportsmanship. An enthusiastic booster and oflicer in the W. A. A., Connie has made her sweet, unaffected self felt in every co-ed sport. But the athletic side has not been unduly stressed, for she is a good student in every sense of the Word, and more than one jolly party owes its origin and success to her skillful planning. .Connie seems to have found her field of service while yet in college, for those who know say a better kindergarten teacher has yet to be found. Besides her college work and numerous activities she finds time to teach the infant mind how to shoot and so successfully that it lS worthy of comment But even if Connle did nothing but go on her serene sunny way we would love her Just the same Forty tivo . . . . 7 . . Q , . 7 . ' .- CLASSES ALICE A. REINI-IART. LILLIAN WIGHTMAN ALICE L. WINSOR 1 Alice A. Reinhart. Alice came to Wheaton first as an Academy student, entering college immediately upon the completion of her Academic work. ln her Junior year, as Secretary-Treasurer of the class, Secretary of the Tower Staff, and Vice-President of the W. A. A., Alice was kept busy indeed. Her Senior year found her occupying the positions of President of the W. A. A. and Vice-President of the Philalethean Society, honors justly won by her. To crown these accomplishments, Alice has the gift of a beautiful soprano voice, which has many a time added enjoyment to the college Recitals. Lillian Wightman. Nig decided four years ago that it was the thing for hier to do to leave her beloved state of Rhode lsland and journey west to Wheaton. Of course, we Wouldn't dare mention the main reason, but merely suggest that it has something to do with Pennsylvania. Lillian doesn't scintillate, but everyone recognizes her quiet worth and appreciates it to the full. And when we say that it's about all said. Alice L. Winsor. Despite her four years in the Middle West, Alice is still a typical New England lassie-loyal to Massachusetts, fun loving, and always ready to do her Mbit. As Associate Art Editor for the Tower in her Junior year, class social chairman, member of the Y. W. C. A. cabinet, and as a very important member of the class basketball team, Alice has been very busy indeed. She has also been most helpful to the Philalethean society and many a time has brought honor to it through her poems. Originality, generosity, and sincere Christian faith characterize Alice, a friend well worth having. A Ollie L. Anderson. H0llie is one of the old faithfuls, having been with us the whole four years. Whenever we think of her we immediately call to mind her sunny smile, for the two are inseparable. 'She is full of fun and has a large part in contributing toward the success of many a party. Cllie is sincere in everything and puts her whole heart into whatever she does. Forty-three CLASSES MARY R. EDWARDS O. RUTH SPENSER STEFA-NIA THoRLAKsoN Mary R. Edwards. Mary has a way'i that leads straight to all hearts. Incidentally it led Mary to Wheaton from Wooster, Ohio, whence stray breezes blow tales of her achievements in activities varying from the cap- taincy of the '22 hockey team to the Presidency of La Cercle Francaise. lnto one brief year at Wheaton, Mary has packed, among others, the thrills of membership in the Organic Quartette fChem, not voicejg and incidentally carried on the fame of Ye Oulde Wayside lnne. Mary expects to pursue Bible training and nursing, in preparation for the foreign field. O. Ruth Spenser. Ruth is one of our fair girls who came to us in the fall of '2l. When Ruth does a thing she does it with all her might, and that is Why she stepped quietly from the ,luniorinto the Senior class last Fall. Ruth has been an active worker in college life, a successful student, a faithful Phil, a fast basketball and baseball player and, best of all, a consecrated Christian. She expects to teach Biology, and we know that the ones entrusted to her care will be strengthened by her personality to face life's problems. Stefania Thorlakson. Stef may well be classed a product of Wheaton, for she has taken the Academy course as well as that of the College. The Phils claim her as one of them and proudly point to her record as Cor- responding Secretary and as Critic. As Associate Organization Editor of the Tower Staff and Vice-President of the Mission Study Class in her junior year, Stef worked enthusiastically and well.- We know that in whatever field of action her lot is cast, Stef will be a uwinnerf' Ethel Wilmot. A graduate from Wheaton High, Ethel entered Col- lege in the Fall of 'ZI. When she should have been a Junior, this year she quietly joined our ranks with an Education Major tucked away among her belongingsn no small accomplishment for three years' work. Quiet? Yes, but then, ' still waters run deep and her knowledge of Physics and Math IS a thing to be admired from a distance. Sincere and capable in all that she undertakes we look for great things from Ethel. 1 ' F orip- four t'.Q'C':5J!4'.

WILLIAM HARPER Clarence E. Mason, Jr. Clare has amazed us. Carrying a full schedule in college, and very creditably, be it known, he is yet incomparably the best all-round athlete in the school. Claiming a huge pile of letters as trophies of his skill and dependability, Clare .leaves a wide gap in the athletics of the college. Captain of baseballin his Senior year, he also edited the Record, bringing credit both to himself and to the school. .Participating in three major sports in his Junior year, as Editor of the Tower he produced a superb Annual. As a loyal Belt he has filled many important offices. An excellent reader, an enthusiastic member of the Glee Club, and in everything a Christian, Clare gives promise of an excellent worker for his Master in the foreign field. John L. Allison. When John boarded the train at Wahpeton, S. D., in Sept., 1920, he was to all intents and purposes bound for another college, but when he reached Chicago his better reason persuaded him to come to Wheaton, and once here, of course, he stayed. ln his Junior year he served as Class President, and his work as Photographic Editor of last year's Tower was largely responsible for its success. This fall John took the position of Editor-in-chief of the Record and guided our weekly through a very crucial time. ln Celts, and, in fact, in every capacity John has proved himself a loyal booster and a willing worker. B. william Harper. Bill is from the South. I-lis acquaintance made, it is not long ere you are aware that he is a thoroughbred Texan. With his athletic ability, he has well represented his Alma Mater on the gridiron, basketball court and diamond. This year he was honored by the Seniors in their electing him as their President as well as becoming President of the Athletic Association. In the near future, Bill plans to attend Princeton Seminary, and then enter definite Christian Work. Forty-jivc 'iii 1 - --T -vw? CLASSES 1 ALBERT J. SANDERS ARTHUR T. BOLT WALLACE L.. KENNEDY Albert J. Sanders. The mention of Albert Sanders brings to mind .the picture of a young man of sterling character and purposeful life. I-le has been prominent in the religious activities of the college, but not only in these does he deserve notice. President of the Beltionian Literary Association in his Senior year, his capable leadership marked the culmination of long and ardent service to the society. But it is as President of the Student Council that Sandy has best displayed his capabilities, many Worth-while move- ments having originated under his administration. Having set his heart on Work in foreign lands as a missionary of the Cross, We can prophecy for him a happy future in the enlightening of ignorant and lost souls through the glorious message of the Gospel. Arthur T. Bolt. Art is a hustler from the Word UGO. He has mastered many arts, nor need We mention his generosity in the use of his talents. As a cheerleader, he has helped win many laurels for the Orange and Blue with his enthusiasm and contagious pep, to say nothing of his snappy defense in practice, ripping through the line of the choice eleven. ln his Senior year, Art has ably handled his position on the Record Staff, wielding a pen not to be despised, and in the last semester has steered the course of the Celts as their well-chosen President. The conditions for em- inence lie in zeal, ability, and capacity for hard Work. Art's future can only be fruitful. Wallace L. Kennedy. Wally brings his sunny smile from the golden West, from far California. After spending two years in the University of Southern California, he decided that the Middle West must have him for awhile, consequently Wheaton has claimed his last two years. ln his modest Way he confesses to be of some assistance to the football, basketball, and baseball teams. Next Fall Wallie is intending to carry on his studies along the ministerial line in a United Presbyterian Seminary. Giving such splendid messages as he has this year in prayer meetings, we shall look for great things from him in the future. - F orty-six T , 1 1 1. ' '+- wiv' ' A' A n -J ed 'V 'PA 9', P'g V 'ffeflfiif-'S SHS HAROLD M. CARLSON CALVIN LEE FRED I-I. LEACH Harold M. Carlson. Harold came to us in his Junior year from North Park College and Seminary. During the time spent with us he has served as pastor of a large church in Batavia, beside keeping up his scholastic stand- ing. A member of the Beltionian Literary Association, Religious Editor for the Record in his Senior year, he has also held the Presidency of the Y. M. C. A., putting his untiring efforts into the strengthening and upbuilding of the latter. We shall remember Harold for his sincere devotion to C-rod and his desire to serve I-lim. ' , Calvin Lee. Calvin is an animate proof to us of the efficacy of mis- sionary endeavor in China. While attending a Mission school in Canton, he learned the way of Salvation. Desiring to make known to his own people the Lord, whom he had come to love, he began fitting himself for the task and spent two years at Canton Christian College, graduating from the Junior college in l922. ln the one year that Calvin has been with us we have learned to love him because of his sweet Christian character as shown through his meek and gentle spirit. After further study at some orthodox Seminary he will go back to China to train native Workers for Christian work. Fred H. Leach. Fred is our jovial, carefree classmate who hails from Detroit, a fact of which he is well-nigh proud. l-le came to us as a Sopho- more from Michigan U. and entered enthusiastically into the spirit of Wheatolm life, where he has fitted perfectly. Before Fred's Sophomore year was ended, he had so creditably demonstrated his Worth and ability that he was honored by being chosen Editor of the Record. The performance of this exacting task showed us that Fred could produce a paper that completely represented Wheaton thought and life. The last semester of this year, Fred has been the Vice-President of the Belts, of which Association he is a keen supporter. Fred intends to enter the business World, and truly he will be a Christian business man. Forty-seven W c1.'Assr:s EDWARD E.. ROBERTS C. GLENARD WILSON PHILIP I-I. RICHMOND Edward E. Roberts. Eddie is another of our Wheatonites who came to us from the local l-ligh School, with pep, enthusiasm, and a saxophone. A short story writer, a sonnet writer, a loyal Celt, Vice-President his Senior year-Eddie's life has been varied and free in his college course, all the while 'creditably completing his Math major, Eddie expects to hunt a 'lVlaster's degree and then, whatever he does, we prophecy that prosperity and popu- larity will be E.ddie's lot. C.. Glenard Wilson. Glen came to us from La Grange, which being interpreted is the barn, but be assured, the town does not live down to its name. I-le has been with us through all of our college days and we all know him as a true Christian friend. Glen has been active in the Glee Club, Record and Belt work. He plans to teach in North Park Academy next year and take work in the Seminary there. When his school days are over, our Lord will find another willing worker in I-lis active ranks. ' Philip H. Richmond. Phil is an Easterna, a fact that no one who hears him talk will dare to deny. And he has ably lived up to the standard required of a Massachusetts student, maintaining a high grade of scholarship throughout his four years. Because of the limited number of courses at Wheaton, Phil decided to take his last semester at Wisconsin University, but he promised to come back and graduate with the class. We are glad of this, for after knowing him so long, we would be loath to have him pass out from college anywhere but among us. Douglas J. Carvel. Anglo-India has given to the world three great men, two to England and one to America-Thackeray, Kipling and D. Carvel. As the former need bow to none in literature, so Carvel remains unvanquished in the hall of debate. l-lis fineness of express-ion and quickness of thought. together with a strong personality, are his salient features. Nor is he limited to the debate Hoor, having won many poetry, essay and short story con- tests. While in college he has held some' of the highest ofHces and during his last semester was President of the Beltionian Literary Association. l-lis motto is Always be in class on time.

Chuck came running over from the Academy to join our ranks as ailrreshman and he's been skipping along with us ever since, until this last semester Charlie decided we were a little slow for him and he would drop out and let us catch up. l-le hasn't deigned to do much with us besides study, preferring to drive l..iebo's car or shoot mail in the Chicago office for a pastime. But our little word for Charlie is that he's a downright good sport and a mighty good friend to have. Herbert T. Ludgate. Coming to us from Wheaton I-Iigh, l..uddy has kept his pep 'and enthusiasm throughout his four years of college life. l-lis executive ability has been keenly felt as President both of his class in his Sophomore year and of the Excelsior Association. l-lis efforts in the athletic activities have not been in vain, for he has received both for football and basketball a number of letters. With his graduation, Wheaton College will lose a big booster, and we predict great things for Hl..uddy.i' Myron M. Weaver. Myron is another one of our bright ones whose college career has been rather checkered. l'le entered as a green Freshie with the Class of '22 and represented that class at the Washington Banquet., ln his Sophomore year he displayed his talent in the field of Chemistry. That summer he vanished to Quantico but rejoined us in his Junior year and fin- ished up in a year and a half, starting in at Rush Medical the last semester. Myron plans to play doctor to the natives in Central Africa and We feel sure that he will give of his best to his Master there as he has here. Alfred Crofts. Born of missionary parents in China, Alfred came to this country some four years ago to begin his college career. Being shy and hesitant, the initial surprise was the winning of the Record Short Story con- test as a Freshman. ln his Sophomore year he made his class team in De- bating, and then qualified for the Varsity which in his two years did not know defeat. I-le was elected Editor-in-chief of the Record, but before he could finish his work in this capacity, he decided to continue his studies at North- western Medical College, although to graduate with his class. F orip-nine R i N i i i 3 W CLASSES JOB L. T1LL1s GRACE LAKE TILLIS -I-IARRY M: COULTER Job L. Tillis. Quiet in temperament and never uttering a word without moaning, we have in Job Tillis a poet, 'an essayist, and an orator who com- bines keen appreciation and sympathy with intense earnestness and ability. His ability to think quickly, accurately, and concisely have won him many society honors. A lover of Nature, he devotes much of his time to literary pursuits. And he looketh not upon his own things, but on the things of others. Grace Lake Tillis. Grace Lake came to Wheaton in the Fall of I9l8 to start her college career. She started out well, joining the Aels and be- came an earnest worker in the Y. W. ln her Junior year she decided to try her luck as a pedagogue, and then behold! a wedding followed and Grace became Mrs. Tillis. After one Summer School season Grace came back to college, and has succeeded in accruing the number of hours necessary to graduate with our honored class. Harry M. Coulter. A light heart lives long, and I-larry will long remain in the hearts and minds of his friends-memorable for his rare com- bination of humor and earnestness. lntensely earnest in Christian 'work, he has been highly successful as the pastor of a church in North Aurora, doing pastoral as well as preaching service while yet carrying on his scholastic work. I-larry expects to continue his education at Princeton Seminary be- fore he serves as the King's Ambassador. , Kenneth P. Landon. HK. P. appeared upon the local horizon after hav- ing spent one year at the University of Cincinnati in training for an engineer- ing career. A loyal member of the Beltionian Association during his two years at Wheaton, Ken ably served in his last semester as Corresponding Secretary. This year he has manned the post of Advertising Manager of the Tower and has completed a work in this capacity ,that alone would be a high recommendation to anyone's integrity and ability to solve a knotty problemf This fall Ken expects to enter Princeton Seminary to prepare for the rginistry, and in whatever field he may serve we wish him a hearty God- spee .

SIGFRID,MOSBY EDWIN HUBIN ROBERT PHILP HAROLD TIEDT LITERARY Beltionian Association I-IEATON is distinct from the modern college in diverse ways. Among various differences its distinctiveness is characterized by the absence of fraternities from the campus. Wheaton has never fostered such organizations. Yet it cannot be denied that the fraternity has some good Tin it, when properly controlled. The manner in which students are grouped together by strong bonds of friendship, thus pro- for one another in all their interests and activ- moting a sympathetic regard ities, is unquestionably beneficial. And it is just this important element that is developed in the literary societies of Wheaton. ' The bond of friendship is real in the Beltionian Associationf It could not be otherwise. Being the oldest of the societies, its founders and early members have bequeathed to it a rich heritage and manifold traditions. That old, indefinable Belt spirit still lives, linking us with the past and creating an ever-cherished mutual regard among its members. And because of its background the present members are fired with an enthusiasm and a high resolve to ever carry out their motto as expressed in the Greek, 44'Af3Q,0.5v155g sig ':6cueiQ0vc1.xoLi'tgi 5s7vUi0v0m- Striving for the greater and better things. The majority of the Belts are in preparation for service, in the capacity of representing their Lord. This is another link to strengthen ties that bind the members together. The programs are carried out with a view to please l-lim. Essentially, the programs cover a wide scope with a view to impart in- formation and entertainment, but more particularly their purpose is to develop literary talent in those who tal-:e part. Members are frequently required to produce original poems, Write short stories and essays, and give lectures. Debating is very popular with the Belts. Since the revival of forensic activ- ities at the college, the Beltionian Association has furnished an exceptional number of debaters who have composed the successful debating teams, and it was in Belt I-lall that some of this talent was first revealed. Perhaps you will meet a man today who is familiar to you only by the Beltionian coat-of-arms, or the Greek beta. If so, he will bear scrutiny, for the true Beltloman has 3 fixed goal and his path lies' close to success. Sevcnip LITERARY . . First Semester ALICE HOWARD MARJORIE MILES VIOLA OLIVE .

Be- HE sha ow a ' in her existence in the year of the Columbian Exposition, her gmn g history has been a unique and varied one, the life of the youngest member of the family always is. But that is of the past. At the present time the Philalethean Society fills a very large place in the lives of many college students. When Friday evening comes, bringing with it the joyful realization that there are no more sorrows awaiting us on the morrow, lurking in the dim recesses of the class-room to come trooping forth at the professor's unlooked for questions, then, l say, when the week ' f more the with its attendant joys and sorrows has slipped away to ret us no 'loyal Phils gather in the Lower Chapel to rejoice together. And within the precincts of this chapel on a Friday evening we have learned Hthings not taught in school, at least not within the confines of our lassrooms For there we delve into the past, and learn of the interesting c . , incidents of our predecessors, interwoven with the vital interpretation of the one who recalls them to us. There we glimpse the magazines of the day and the worthwhile booksg there we view the world about us in its every phase. And beyond that, it is in this chapel that we gain a step in the knowledge and expression of ourselves. Frequent participation in the meetings neces- sarily gives ease and poise to the most conscious of us, while the contests in poetry, essays, and short stories often develop quite unexpected talent. And 'interrningled with the intellectual enjoyment and rivalry is the cooperation and closer intimacy which cannot be gained in the regular college curriculum. And so today, as we 'look back over the years, study the lives of those who have been before us, then turn our vision toward the future and try to focus the place where our lives are to be spent, we realize what this society has meant and will mean to us. Lovers of Truth the charter members chose to be called, and thirty years of earnest effort on behalf of many loyal lovers of truth have built the present society. Will we, when we may no'longer enjoy our share in the vital life of the society, still uphold her motto and aim, and each in her ownlplace strive to be a loyal lover of truth?

Carvel, R. Garner. The Debating Union The Debating Union is one of Wheatonis growing organizations Whose growth may be measured in concrete terms. An activity such as Debating demands something more than mere decision victoryg it demands greater individual participation from year to year, it pleads for a more' earnest stu- dent supportg and it holds the ideal nearer than does Athletics, that ideal of national repute for the small college. To review the Varsity record we find that the new plan of holding triangle debates has been a success. The Naperville-Luther engagement for the men scored a victory against Naperville and a defeat at the hands of Luther. The same triangle for the women gained a victory against Western St. Normal and a defeat at the hands of Naperville. Although the Women lost the dual contest with Augustana, the men compensated for this in our signal victory over Dakota Wesleyan University which holds a championship in both men and women's debate in the State of South Dakota. It must be admitted that the defeat given by Westminster to our veterans, Carvel and Sanders, who in this contest were humbled for the first time, leaves us a record with more defeats than victories this year, yet we feel that We in no respect lost to novices and the loss was received through one of the most sharply and closely contested struggles that Wheaton has seen in her forensic life. Perhaps we have received a few defeats in the past but since the pri- mary aim of debate is development we do not regret our defeats as abso- lute losses. The Debating Union has always stood for devotion to truth first, and determination to win second. Seventy-seven LITERARY Traditions of Wheaton V It is hard to tell just how and why an old building differs from a new one, and yet there is a difference too intangible to yield to definition, and too real to be denied. ln a new building the very emptiness is oppressive, and in an old one, one has the consciousness of an invisible presence that is not the dinginess nor the scuffed woodwork, but rather a legacy from the people who have made the scuffs and wrought the dinginess. It is as if each one of them had unconsciously left a part of himself, or a fragment of his soul, which wanders in a disembodied form thrfmugh the old halls and rooms. If you are too young, or too wise, or too sophisticated, to believe this, I hope that you will'sometime lose' yourself on a dark night in this old build- ing. As you bump against forgotten posts and strange walls, the shades of former days will press in upon you, almost stifling you with the poignancy of their presence as they put out trembling hands to stay you in your flight, and you will find 'yourself suddenly outside, running, running, running, running, running from the past. Perhaps you will understand the sou o . h I tell ou a little about it now. At least I have tried to glean a few aps can y of the old stories from the silent walls and blank windows. ' ' d d d f om time im- There are three stories which have been han e own r ersions and versions, but l will record here only those l f the old building then Per- memorial. There are v that please me. ln the first place, there is the story of the man who walked around the roof of the main building. I-lis name has long since died, but his exploit h f th floor had lives. One version of the story says that the men on t e our been disturbed by strange noises on the roof. WThey finally decided that there' h h ' ' all covered a tank were some loose shutters on a little shed w ic origin y . O b d ed another to go out and nail the shutters tight. Whether for ne oy ar this reason or not, the feat was certainly accomplished. There was only a d d kness Some narrow ledge on which to walk, and below that, space an ar . lk d ' h's sleep others that he did it for a box of candy. say that he wa e in 1 9 Whatever his reason, every one agrees that he walked around the edge of the roof one dark night, and lived to tell the tale. This story reminds me of one which happened more recently, and in h b l'vin there the gymnasium. During Christmas vacation one of t e oys was 1 g ' ' b f l Aft dark the gym IS a ghostly place, to say the least. And e ore a one. er he went to bed, he took great care to see that every door and window was ' ' ' h t me locked. During the night, he awoke suddenly with the impression t a so one was or had been in the room. When he got up, he found the door h h h was alone in swinging open, but no one around. Another nig t, w en e I q h ll the basement, and the light was out, he swears that something came urt ing through the air and crashed against the wall near him. He did not wait to ' ' ' h t d inquire more definitely into the matter, but the next morning when. e re urne he found a heavy dumb-bell lying in splinters on the floor. V From time to time this same boy was startled to hear-some one on the floor above walking slowly around the track. The walk was like the tramp of a sentinel, slow and steady. After this had happened several times he gathered his courage and started to climb the stairs. - Above him he could hear the steady tramp, tramp, tramp of heavy boots on' thegtrack. It took three or four attempts before he reached the top of the stairs. There was enough light to see a little. The heavy tramping con tmued, but there was no one there. Seventy-eight .- 1 l LITERARY When his fright had abated, he moved about more boldly, and found that the sentinel was only the grating on one of the windows which had worked loose and was banging against the window frame. Another tradition which is often spoken of, but which no one seems to be able to do much more than speculate about, is the elevator. All that is left of it is the shaft which goes up through the lower chapel and the physics laboratory. Some people say that a man once fell down the elevator shaft, and that since then the elevator has not been usedg and others that the system fell into disrepair and so was abandoned: At any rate I have found out what its use was. ln early days the third floor was a girls' dormitory. The Aelioian room was the parlor where ladies entertained callers. There was a lamp hanging from the ceiling, and a marble-topped table stood in the center of the room. Last year one time when I was poking around the attic at the dormitory, I found an ancient curly sofa. which conforms very nearly to and probably is the one that used to stand Where the piano now is. The Whole building was verv different then. but that is history and not tradition, and I suppose history five times a week in the morning is enough. At any rate the elevator had a use in these days other than carrying trunks and furniture up to the second and third floors. Every day at four o'clock the janitor laboriously pulled it up with a load of coal. When he got to the third Hoor he rang a bell, and every girl who wanted coal for that night or the next day came with her scuttle and filled it. ' A lncidentally, in those days there were rules. even as now, and one of them was that no girl could sit with her feet in the transom. I wish I knew how they accomplished this acrobatic feat. One of two things must be true: either the girls had longer legs, or the transoms were lower. The bell in the tower has long since fallen out of constant use, but one use it still has which thrills every Wheaton student with a never-to-be-for- gotten pride. If the team has gone elsewhere to play, and no word has come from them, and suddenly you are awakened at one or two in the morning bv the mad pealing of the bell, be sure that it is time to celebrate another well- earned victory. , ' A -story that is not so old and yet not so new says that a one-time famous athlete climbed the tower at an obscure hour and fastened the end of a stout twine to the bell rope. Then he threw the ball of twine out to his accomplice, and the two of them walked casually awav. unrolling the ball as they went, until they lay concealed on the other side of the railroad tracks. just as chapel began, the string tightened on the ball, and peal after peal rang out, until chapel was dismissed in desperation, and some one climbed the tower and cut the twine. This same student once nearly broke up an academy commencement by climbing across the ceiling above the chapel to a seat of vantafe over the platform. He had previously prepared a series of holes through which he sifted pepper slowly but steadily. The' pepper was Quite invisible to the audience. but the effect was not. Both graduate and faculty were seized with violent fits of coughing and sneezing for apparently no reason at all. Perhaps the most treasured is the tradition of the dorm ghost. for there is one, you know. They say that he asked bf-fore he died to be buried on the campusg for some reason he could not be buried in a common cemetery. What that reason was l do not know. Some say that he was an old aboli- tionist and that he was an enemy of Masonry, and that the cemetery belonged Seventy-nine LITERARY th Masons That is neither here nor there, he was buried where the to e . dormitory stands. When that building was put up, he was moved to the lace where he now rests He is supposed to walk at times, but never when p l d 't is full of girls. Four years ago when there was scarcely any the ormi ory K one there, a number of people noticed a light in one of the rooms which was ied and locked One of the house boys went to the room during unoccup - the day but the light was off. The room was once more locked aid left, l h r but night after night the light was seen late in the evening, a t oug neve ' h nin A strange thing about it was that the shades would be at on in t e mor g. I I, . i different heights- at different times. One night a friend of mme who l1VCd under the room that is supposed to be haunted was awakened by a heavy tread outside her door. She was alone, and she knew that there was no ' ' d one on the third floor. The slow footsteps passed on up the stairs an apparently through the locked door above. She could hear them overhead for some time, and then they ceased. Too frightened to sleep, she waited for several hours to hear them descend, but they did not come down. She tried to think that some one in the dorm had gone up the stairs, but in the morning questioning proved that no one had moved from his bed. Last of all there is the great tradition of Wheaton, which every one who has learned to live and love in these halls holds as a priceless possession, and that is the Spirit of Wheaton. It is hard to tell you what it is like, just as it is hard to explain the fragrance of an exquisite flower, or the magic that hides in the hour after sunset, or the grandeur of the distant swell of chords played on an organ, or the light shining through a stained glass window. It is not shouting yourself hoarse at a game, and yet it is there. It is not the giving to some one else without a murmur or a change of expression your most prized possession, and yet it is there. It is not friendship nor loyalty nor Christianity, and yet it is excluded from none of these. It is the child of the struggles of the people of long ago, who planned and builded and lived and loved with this vision. It is the incense of their tears and joys, their forgotten pleasures and dead youth. And it is joined to them, to us, and to heaven by invisible gold chains that find their strength in prayers. And sometimes, perhaps at dusk, when the wind is scudding across the campus, and the shadows steal out and lay their fingers upon you, and you are conscious suddenly that you are alone with the wind and the sky and the shadows and God, then as suddenly the Spirit of Wheaton will lay hold on your heart and bind it so tightly that neither life nor death, sorrow, joy, nor forgetfulness will ever break those bonds. -Margaret Mortenson, '25. - . A ln Search of Naiades This is a plea for anglers, for those who, though risking nothing that is not their own, and desiring nothing that belongs to other men, are sometimes classed with gamblers and fools who play with chance. Isaak Walton, the well beloved master of the gentle art, wrote in his Complete Angler, For angling is something like poetry, men are to be born so. They must have a love and propensity for the art itself. I-lerein lies a truth, to which the world of people who live in houses, sleep in beds, and walk on pavements, is pecu- liarly blind. It is largely because of those specimens of humanity known .as fish hogs, that angling has fallen into disreputeg because of boarding-house braggarts, who, returning from week-end vacations, smell up whole train aisles with their dripping creelsg who button-hole the conductor, the boss, the ice-man-in fact, anyone before whom they can strut, and tell their eager ICS. A -Eighty Lrrnnenyg For let us understand now that the solely desired end of fishing is not merely to catch fish There are so many pleasurable gains attending a day spent in the incomparable companionship of a little river -a day that knows no daylight-saving time no income tax collectors no butcher bills You need not trouble about the weather if you are out for brook trout They are as wary one time as another' but as it is the search for brook-trout that aids and often results in a search for Naiades I shall take angling for trout as the ideal Trout-fishing' interprets much of the fine print in Nature sbook fine print which even the partridge hunter cannot read' for he has eyes for the ground alone and for its brown leaves. The trout brook leads through woods where solitude is not loneliness where the very silence is alive and throbbing with the possibilities of what may be behind the next tree-trunk. It leads the way to worlds to be conquered meanwhile sharing treasures of mystery which the angler holds rare. ' ' For he is a poet the angler although he may never write a line I-le is skilled in the art of seeing things of being every inch alive. What matter if a trout was lost down there by the skeleton bridge? A colony of wake- robin slept beneath it. Suppose a favorite leader snapped across the rocks. A hooded Warbler flirted his tail, not three feet away. If there is nothing but watercress and spearmint covering the creel-bottom, be sure that the way home will be by obscure bylanes and crosscutsg but the poet-fisherman has heard the laugh of miniature cascades, he has come upon a laurel thicket un- awares, and he eases his boot-blistered heels with the contemplation of his gain. 7 Z 9 7 . 7 9 type, since it requires skill, a love of patience, and a passion for being honest.

MISS ANNABELLE MacI..EOD Thou thieving, worthless vagabond, I will make thee do penance for thy sins, and that before the setting of the sun! I Henri I..orrain's voice, breaking roughly on the stillness of the- forest, might have struck fear into a stouter heart than that of the lad Pierre, for Henri, at best, was a savage fellow, and now his fierce scowl and threaten- ing gesture justified the terror on the face of the child who crouched before him. ' I P I-Ienri's wife, Marie, standing at the door of their hut, frowned on ierre. - For shame to rob those who have fed thee since thou wast left a desolate orphan! Thou shalt surely die on the gallows like thy father before thee. I-Ie shall have to reckon with me first, growled Henri. Listen, scoundrel. This is not the first time thou hast stolen my eggs, but by St. Denis, it shall be the last. M As he spoke, he picked up a coil of rope, and bound Pierre to the trunk of the tree. A piercing shriek rang through the forest. Mariel Will no one help? . There was a rustling among the underbrush. In the name of the Emperor, said a voice, 'iwho calls for help? The speaker advanced. He was a man- in the prime of life, short of stature yet withal commanding in appearance. The long gray coat he wore did not conceal the strength and activity of his figure. The face beneath his Hat tricornered hat was one that a sculptor might have envied, so delicately cut were his features. The stranger's keen, grey eyes glanced from Henri to Pierre. Boy, was it you who cried for help? It was Henri who answered. Hold thy peace, meddlerl The lad belongs to me! I-Ie belongs to France, came in ringing tones, and I demand to know why he is bound to that tree. Blockhead! Am I to be answerable, then, for my actions to every in- solent wanderer? I will answer your question, fellow, when you have answered mine. You will not? Then I must set him free. So saying he raised his sword and severed Pierre's bonds. Rage and astonishment held Henri silent for a moment, then cursing violently he advanced with uplifted arm. It was only Pierre who shrank away, however, crouching behind his new protector. The latter made no movement save to lay his hand lightly on the boy's head, but his eyes watched Henri with calm contempt, challenging him to strike. I-Ienri drew back, and in so doing his glance fell on the hand resting among Pierre's fair curls. and noted its singular beauty. Bah! The hand of an idle aristocratln Eigfziy-five LITERARY X head of my army. I-le who would follow me must be a soldier. Will you do this, boy? Will you fight for France and for the Emperor? Pierre seeing only a vision of gay banners and shining arms, smilingly GC I . answered, Yes, sire. So when Napoleon set out for Strassburg there was, amid his splendid train, a litle drummer-boy whose joy at being allowed to accompany his hero knew no bounds. The boy needed all his loyalty to help him fight an enemy more powerful than all the armies of Russia and Austria combined-the enemy of fear. Long years of suffering and cruelty had wrought upon a nervous temperament, so that he trembled at the sound of the cannon, and fled in terror from a spirited war-horse. Do you truly wish to be a soldier? Napoleon asked one day, or shall we send you back to the beautiful Josephine? , To return to Paris meant to see once again his beloved mistress Jos- ephine, but at the same time it would necessitate leaving his hero, the Em- peror, in whose presence Pierre felt as brave as a lion. The battle raged- but presently be answered: . V No, sire, I wish to stay. A ' Then remember that a soldier of France knows no fear. The first of December, the eve of the battle of Austerlitz, found,the French troops in a state of active preparation for the combat. Marshal Soult's two divisions were commanded to take up their posts at the right of the army, and Pierre was ordered to accompany them so that he might assist in carrying baggage. To reach their allotted position it was necessary to cross the Rhine at a place where it was broader and deeper than usual because of the recent floods. Suddenly the Marshal, riding in front, reined in his horse. Those dastardly Russians have tampered with the bridge, we must ride the other way. The second division will be up in half an hour, and mustbe warned. He beckoned to Pierre, HYou stay here and caution them, and Marshal Soult rode off, followed by his soldiers. , Half an hour passed, the daylight faded and a denseefog began to spread across the plain. Pierre, thinking of his master, Napoleon, fought off the temptation to run, but suddenly a dark shape came stealing along the bank of the river, he crouched behind the bridge and Watched it breath- lessly. It was the hgure of a man, and as it drew near, he discerned the Russian uniform. An all-conquering terror seized him. The rushing water and the distant roar of the musketry sounded in his ears like some fearful menace, and he fled. The fog, now very thick, prevented him from seeing more than ten paces ahead, and soon he realized that he was lost. I-le had roamed for an hour, and when he came upon a barn, through the Window of which shone a light. He peeped in. A pile of clothing lay on the floor and by its side a man was standing. Pierre started violently as he recognized the dark, sinister face of his foster-father, Henri, but he did not perceive that it was the same as the one at the bridge, for the man was now in French uniform. Terror seized Pierre, and once again he fled away into the darkness. Eighty-seven LITERARY It was six o'clock before he reached camp. When he arrived an- of- ficer came and touched him on the arm saying that the Emperor desired to speak with him. - Napoleon was surrounded by his Marshals, among them Marshal Soult, who had ridden back to the tents. As Pierre entered the tent, Napoleon turned to him sternly. There has been an accident to one of Marshal Soult's divisions, boy. A bridge collapsed while they were riding over it, throwing several horse- men into the water, who but for the efforts of their comrades would have been drowned. You were ordered to remain by that bridge and warn them. Why did you desert your post? There was silence for a moment, then the Emperor stamped his foot impatiently. Answer me! Pierre's lip quivered. HI was frightened! I-H It is enough. I will have no cowards among my ranks to imperil brave men. From every member of my army, man or boy, I expect un- daunted courage and explicit obedience. You have failed in both. You shall go back to Paris. I shall write to the Principal of Notre Dame about you. Go to your tent! Pierre crept away with a deeper wound than Russian bullet made in the heart of any man who fought at Austerlitz the next day. His gloom was so despairing that the Empress Josephine had no place in his thoughts. When finally he did think of her, it only added to his discouragement, for he would be-sent back in disgrace. I-Ie had tried so hard to be brave, and Napoleon did not understand. I-Ie slept but little that night, and arose long before daybreak. A heavy mist overhung the plain, and it seemed to Pierre that the sun would never rise again. 4 As the day dawned, the mist began to roll away, revealing the Rus- sian army drawn up on gthe heights, and the French soldiers in the plain below, where Napoleon rode to and fro giving orders and encouragement. Pierre had formed a plan. I-Ie would go to the Emperor, beg for par- don, and plead for one more chance. It was no easy task to make his way across the field, crowded as it was with men and horses ranged in line for battle. Once he stumbled against a tall, dark soldier who started violently and swore. NVith his mind bent on achieving one thing, Napoleon's for- giveness, Pierre failed to recognize his foster-father and he hurried on through the scattering mist. I ' NHPQICOIQ Was upon a hillock at a small distance from the troops absorbed in his dispatches. Pierre approached until within some ten paces, and then stopped. It was several minutes before the Emperor raised his' eyes, and when he did they rested on a little figure crouching in the tall, Eighty-eight LITERARY grass. i He beckoned and-so it seemed to Pierre-smiled upon it. The boys heart leaped with joy. ' The mists had rolled away now, and beams of gold were flung from the horizon, across a cloudless sky, heralding that marvelous sunrise known as the sun of Austerlitzf' Pierre bounded forwardg and then paused, for another Hgure was approaching the Emperor. It was the soldier who had sworn at Pierre a few minutes before, but now the boy recognized him. Swiftly Henri came for- ward, his eyes gleaming out hatred fixed on Napoleon, who, unaware of his presence, was looking in the opposite direction. Sire! Pierre cried, pointing to the man, as the Emperor turned his head. Henri paused, drew something from his belt, and raised his arm. A distance of five yards separated him from Napoleon. That instant was all that Pierre had to recognize the danger, but swift as lightning he Hung him- self between. A shot rang out, and Pierre fell into the lo-ng grass at Napol- eon's feet. Another second and the assassin had dropped, shot through the heart by the E.mperor's bullet. Soldiers hastened to the spot and clustered round Pierre. His eyes were closed, his face very white. They carried him to a tent where the surgeon dressed his wound. ' The battle was begin-ning now. The French army was forming into columns, and the Russians were abandoning the heights, but the beating of the drums and the roaring of the cannon were faint and dull to Pierre, like sounds in a dream. , V At mid-day the Emperor entered the tent Where the boy lay. He is sleeping, sire, said the surgeon. I think he will not wake, again. . A fierce look came into the face of Napoleon Bonaparte. You doctors are fools. I tell you he shall wake! i He placed his hand on Pierre's arm, calling his name. It seemed as though Napoleon's mighty will was to conquer even then, for the lad opened his eyes, and a light of recognition gleamed in them. His lips moved. Sire! whispered Pierre. You will not send me back to France? Napoleon knelt down, placing his arms tenderly about the slender form. My boy, l would sooner part with the bravest soldier in all my ba- tallions! When the War is over, all France will welcome you as a hero, and I will present you with the cross of the Legion of Honour. A smile of triumph passed over Pierre's face, and he sighed deeply. He has gone, sire, said the surgeon, uwhere such rewards are vain. Late that night as Napoleon was seated at the Wooden box which served him as a desk a half-finished letter in his own handwriting arrested his at- tention. It was addressed to the Principal of the School of Notre Dame. He picked it up and read, 'il send you the boy Pierre, because l do not think he will make a soldier-he is a coward.

COACH CONLEY MANAGER ALLISON Ninety-two A T H In E T I C S Review of the Season for 1923 To play such a game against Chicago Y College as to wipe out the sting of last year s score of 33-0 and the 60 0 score of win the respect of the well thought-of Y team to whip Northwestern by such a decisive score that the effect would carry the team to a Victorious finish over De- Kalb was the ideal of coach, captain and followers. Such a goal could be won only by teamwork and a spirit of brotherhood among the players. The development of the first was in the hands of the coach, while the players themselves were re- sponsible for the last. With thisvidea in .mind the players got together early in the spring and after some discussion and de- liberation decided on a fall camp. This became a reality the first of September when twelve Wheaton students, not all football men, got to know each other and were able to find the true worth of friend- ship and brotherhood. , These fellows formed a nucleus around which the squad was to be built. When the first call for candidates. was issued, two full teams made a first afternoon ap- pearance. The next day thirty recruits responded to the lure. Everything seemed to be running smoothly and pros- pects for an undefeated season seemed rosy until the first skirmish with the Alumni, which ended in an unlooked-for defeat. This set-back coupled with the following game with Crane Tech, which ended in a tie, showed clearly the need of co-operation between the line and the back-field and also pointed out the ever- lasting need of interference. Determined to profit by this experi- ence, the squad went to Chicago to play the strong Y college team at Washing- ton Park. Here the lesson of first im- pressionsn was brought forth. Wheaton kicked off to Y's 25-yard line and the ball was returned to midfield. It see- sawed back and forth till well toward the end of the quarter when Chicago car- ried it far into Wheaton's territory and '21, and to put up such a scrap that would Ninety-three . . .,- -,y-A-an ATHLETICS Edgren plunged it over for the initial touchdown. Try for goal missed. The second quarter was a repetition of the first, except that Y's tally came in the middle of the period. Score at the half, Chicago Y IZ, Wheaton 0. It was be- tween halves that Wheaton caught the spirit of the game. It seemed impossible that the same team began the third quar- ter. Wheaton began with a rush. Har- per skirted left end for 30 yards on a pretty criss-cross play. A forward pass, McGill to l-licks, netted ten yards more and placed the oval on Y's 20-yard line. Hicks dove off tackle for two yards and a forward pass failed. It was fourth down and McGill elected to try a place kick. The pigskin sailed neatly over the bar but unfortunately Wheaton had only six men on the line of scrimmage and the goal did not tally. The ball was returned to mid-field and on to Wheaton's 25-yard line. Again Wheaton took the ball and marched it up the field on end ,runs and successful forward passes. Then Y held and Wheaton was forced to punt. Car- rying the ball back on a series of end runs and off tackle plays to Wheaton's 20-yard line, Edgren shot a pretty pass to Myers who romped over the line for the final touchdown of the game. Score, Y Col- lege I9, Wheaton 0. The small score, 6-0, of the next game, which we won from St. Procopius, acted only as a whip for the training needed to wallop Northwestern. Before the long-looked-for October 27th had ar- 'rived the old timers had started to put in their joyously accepted appearance. They came from all parts of the Eastern East to the far West and such inspiring talks had never before confronted a Wheaton team. No gridiron was ever the scene of a harder fought, more bitter- ly contested football game than Lawson field that Saturday afternoon. It was a fight that made the Dempsey-Firpo bout look' like an argument. A hard, clean, gruelling game that wasn't won till the last final blast of the timer's whistle. Naperville came out on the long end of the score by one insignificant yet tremen- dously important point. It was unques- Ninety-four ATHLETICS tionably a keen disappointment, a bitter pill to swallow. The first touchdown was made by the visitors when in the first quarter Reubler scooped up the ball on a fumble and ran 20 yards for Northwest- ern's six points. Williams kicked goal. Soon after Harper received a forward pass from Hicks and raced 50 yards for a touchdown. Try for goal failed. Again in the first quarter Wheaton had the ball on the visitor's 35-yard line and Hicks fell back to kick. Our chances of scoring looked as rosy as apples in September but the fates were against us and the ball sailed to the left of the up-rightgmissing its mark by inches. The rest of the game the Wheaton line showed the stuff it was made of. It was a defensive game all the.way through and the way our line smashed through on defense was won- d.erful. ' So much for the Homecoming. The one mistake being that school and team spirit had reached the climax for the game and when the time came around to play the underestimated Mt. Morris eleven the necessary pep and spirit was sadly missing. A dismal rain-soaked field didn't help matters any and, coupled with an overconfident air, it was small wonder that before we realized it Mt. Morris had bucked our line and pushed its Way over twice before Wheat- on had its hands on the coveted pig- skin. Then with '23's grim determina- tion and bull-dog defense coming to the fore the Wheaton line held and held fast. Backed to the goal line again and again for imminent tallies the fellows showed what they could do man for man. Ah! there's the secret. When Mt. Mor- ris hit they did so with four against oneg they had team work While each Wheaton warrior was fighting all alone. - Al- though Mt. Morris were playing their homecoming game against us and pos- sessed a line averaging with ours, and although they beat Northwestern the fol- lowing Saturday 27-0, we should have won. ' . Well, two more games left. We have alwa.ys beaten Elmhurst and felt sure of trimming them again, but we had Ninety-jive 1227 I l I 1' 1 :lf V l K l rl I lr L lr U' rl My L i - 1 I. V li.

With a 6-0 score chalkecl up against them at the end of the first half the Wheaton team staged a comeback in the third quarter and defeated Elmhurst l3-6. lntermissionfor one week, then on to thelast game, the culmination of the season of '23, The DeKalb game was a real exhibition of football. Wheaton had three things to gain by Winning that game. ln beating DeKalb she would get back at Mt. Morris and Northwestern. Mt. Morris beat Wheaton I4-0, she Won from Northwestern 27-0, whereas they beat us 7h6 and the preceding Saturday DeKalb played a tie game with Mt. Morris l 3-l 3. The visitors started out strong and ripped holes in the Orange line right and left. Snow and Ball made consistent gains on line bucks: with an occasional end run. On Wheaton's 5-yard line DeKalb was held for three downs with- out gaining an inch but in the fourth Patterson took it over on a cross buck. Snow kicked an extra' point. In the second quarter Wiheaton braced and came back strong holding DeKalb for four downs after kickoff and then starting a strong running offense which could not be -stopped. In this period Wheaton did a thing which is seldom seen in football circles. They kept the ball in their possession for the remaining thirteen minutes of play. On off tackle plays with Hicks and Ludgate carrying the ball and plowing both sides of the line with clockwork regularity, Wheaton managed to place the oval on DeKalb's 6-yard line. Hicks drove fiercely off tackle on the fourth down and made the necessary 6 yards. Hicks also kicked goal and the half ended 7 all. The second half was more fiercely contested even than the first. On the kickoff Wheaton nailed the DeKalb runner on their 5-yard line. ' From then on passes were the order of the day, DeKalb completing several but fail- ing to score, leaving the game a tie, 7-7. So much for the events of '23. Has the season passed into history leaving only a record of games won and lost? No! A new era has begun in the athletic life of Wheaton Collegcg not in putting out winning teams only, because she has done that in the past, but in supplying hard fighting, clean, sportsmanlike teams of men who are in the game to learn to play the game of life. ' So with the ideal of sportsmanship, hard playing, and a more aggressive offense as the goal for the coming season we feel confident of a very success- ful outcome for l924. And we owe this foundation to'the lessons learned on the '23 gridiron. i Football Schedule W Season of 1923 Wheaton 0191901161112 Where Played Date 0 V 0 Crane Tech Here Sept, 29 0 I9 Y College Chicago Oct. 6 6 0 St. Procopius Here Oct, I3 6 7 Northwestern Here - Oct, 27 0 I4 Mt.

There are many things which go to make up a successful year in any sport. The attitude ofthe studentsg the willingness and ability of the players, the number of games lost and won, and the victories over old rivals all have la part in making up a mental picture of a season's work. l do not believe the student body ever took a keener interest in athletics than they havefduring the past basketball- season. Everyone felt an interest in the team and they helped in every way possible. Such an attitude on the part of the student body is bound to produce good teams. 'The players this year worked hard and did all they could to fmake this season one that Wheaton could be proud of. We had one of the best balanced teams I have ever seen in Wheaton. Each man did his share and much more than was expected of him. Our forwards, Captain 'l-licks' and MacKinney, were two fast, aggressive players with plenty of fight and a good eye for the basket. ' Mason at center is one of the great stars of Wheaton's basketball history. I-Iis ability to intercept passes is uncanny and his aggressive playing did a lot to keep the team in fighting trim. The guards, Kennedy, Ludgate and I-larper, combined speed and defensive ability. They were able to hold their opponents to a small number of baskets and at the same time help in theoffensive play. Q When the team traveled to Valpo after the holidays we didnot feel that we had a real test of our ability. When the fellows went into the game there was a feeling of uncertainty as to how we would perform. But at the l b f ' end, of the first half this had disappeared, for we were .eading y a air, ' W lost that game by two points but it filled every member of the margin. e squad with that confidence which means so much to a team.

It was a tough game to lose but everyone felt that the team y one pom had played a mighty fine brand of basketball. When we played them a re- me on their own floor we were after revenge but their big floor was turn ga u . too much for us and we had to accept defeat again at their hands. Th eason has had only one game which fell short of the standard we have maaiijtained all through the schedule, and that was the game at Mount I d J The Morris. They had truly a wonderful team and played rings aroun us k th visited us on our own floor and the story was different.

Coray Tennis Prospects for a Winning tennis team in 1924 are bright, with five letter- men: Coray, Hicks, Myers, Mason and Jones, still with us. The 1923 team broke even in their preliminary matches, losing to Northwestern and Elmhurst and defeating Concordia. ln the game with Y. Nl. C. A. College, Wheaton was having the better of the argument when rain stopped the match. Edward and Henry Coray, representing Wheaton, took second place in the Northwestern illinois State Sectional tournament at Napervilleg Wheaton, Naperville, DeKalb and Lake Forest taking part in the tournament. ln the State Tournament at Jacksonville, Henry Coray represented Wheaton in the singles and defeated the Central illinois champion from Milliken but finally lost to Conroy of Augustana in the semi-final round. The make-up of the team may be the same as last year without our 1923 captain E.ddie,' who was lost to us through graduation. However, it is reported that several new men are experts and they may give the vet- erans a hard fight for their positions. We expect to meet our usual rivals this year, Northwestern, Elmhurst, and Y. M. C. A. College. In addition to these, negotiations are going on for matches with Valparaiso, Armour and Lake Forest. Taken altogether, with the tennis material available in school, and if the spirit in evidence during the basketball season keeps up, by the' time THE TOWER is printed the i924 tennis team should win most if not all of their matches.

A. is an infant organization' of only three Winters, but it has already managed to demonstrate that it has a place in school life. And if it is true that righteous causes thrive on persecution, then that is explanation enough for the success of the W. A. -A. The difficulties have been almost insurmountable, opposition and discouragement from nearly every one, lack of funds and lack of equipment. The Association has lived simply because the girls willed it so. I I f . The chief difhculty has been the need of a physical director for Women, who would have the time and the enthusiasm to better organize the different sports and to take charge of the much needed gymnasium classes. The W. A. A. has tried to fill this gap in a small Way. It now has' three main sports, basketball, baseball and track, besides walking and bi- cycling. With little or no coaching, and almost no opportunity to use the gymnasium, the girls have managed to turn out good basketball teams, and to make records in track which compare very favorably with those made by other schools. During the past year a number of- numerals and bars were awarded. Four girls received W'si' similar to those given the men, but blue instead of orange, so that they are easily recognized. The highest award is a heavy blue slip-on sweater, and only three of these have been given, There is also a basketball. cup and a cup for the fgirl attaining the greatest excellence in athletics, studies and good sportsmanship. of theltpiisiocillfl hopeizl kthat thedtirne is not far distant when the rnany needs Q .

Margaret Mortenson l Women's Intercollegiate Tennis The Women's Tennis team for the season of 1923 had a veryElsuc- f cessful year, winning the three matches played. The team consisted o iza- beth Conley and Margaret Mortenson, veterans of the year previous, with Ruth Nowack and Gertrude Ekvall. The first match was with Aurora College and was played on the courts f Jennin s Seminary in Aurora Gertrude and Ruth Walked away with o g , . A the singles with such scores as 6-I, 6-Og Connie and Peg duplicated this in theidoubles. ln the match With Lake Forest on the home courts we Won the singles but lost the doubles after a hard fight. I Th last ames were with Northwestern College and were also played 9 g on our courts. Again Ruth and Gertrude took the singles and Connie and ' b rett P thedoubles. The Naperville folks thought that China must e a p y eg vood place to' learn how to play tennis after they had seen Ruth and Gertrude smash the balls around. ' lnterest in this sport should certainly run high this year because of the fact that it is the only one whereby girls can earn Varsity letters. Th l tters were presented in Chapel by Coach Conley to the four girls ese e on the team and a numeral certainly should have been voted Lois Mcshane, Whom We expect to see on the team this year.

The class of '24 had taken the banner for the past two years and as title-holders determined not to let the honor go to another class. The k b'd for the coveted pennant, Frosh as the Dark Horse resolved to ma e a 1 as did the middle classes. The initial game of the tournament was between the upper classmen. Capt. Kennedy led his team to a well-earned victory over the Juniors, the final score being l9-l0. The Juniors put up a stubborn fight but were out-played and forced to bow to the superior team-work of the gradu- ating men. The Sophs and Freshmen met in a merry battle and for a period it looked like a defeat for the class of '26 but in the closing half Capt. Noel lrwin rallied his team and reversed the half--time score of 9-5 to the final score of l8-l4. The stellar playing of lrwin and Hicks had much to do with the brilliant come-back in this game. The Sophs took one more step on the ladder which led to the pen- nant when they administered a 23-6 beating to the Juniors, while the Frosh raised their standing to five hundred percent when they defeated' the title-holders l8-l0. McKinney and Rosenkrance, the yearling forwards, ' ' ' the outstanding star did most for the Seniors. The Frosh advanced to second place by virtue of their 2 over the class of '25. Again the Freshmen forwards were responsible for the win, while Freeman and Jones played well for the defeated quintet. The class of '26 clinched the title when Irwin and his cohorts came through with the third consecutive victory for them. The Seniors offered a spirited resistance and even leid 8-7 at the half but again the Sophs rose to the emergency and came back with a vengeance, finally winning out to the tune of ll-8. The much desired banner trophy passed from the class of '24 to the class of '26 but not without a hard struggle. The crowds were as enthusiastic as usual if not more so.. The spirit and class rivalry shown at the games was a clear evidence that the school was not lacking in enthu- siasm that is needed for intercollegiate games but which we do not always et If We can innoculate into our inner beings a little of that class spirit g . and apply it on college spirit, then, and then only,are we really supporting the athletic teams of the college to the best of our ability. l..et's determine in future years, you who have yet to complete your college course, to put the same amount of pep into everything connected with our Alma Mater - instead of spreading it unequally around.

From the time of the Greek civilization until the present day men have striven to be masters of that wonderful workmanship-their bodies. it has never been easy, nor is there any royal road to success in that particular line. Great heights have been obtained because of Genius? No, not always, but because of practice, pluck, and persistence. From these three attributes have come the ability to throw the javelin, hurl the discus, break the tape, punt the pigskin and cage the ball, and not from any rare ability which was given the individlual at birth. A But it is not men alone who have attained these heights, for close be- hind has come the fairer 'portion of our race. Not only in our day, but also, judging from Greek statuary and paintings, in the centuries past, woman has taken her part in athletics, and has done it well. What athletics can do for a, girl is a much talked of subject. But after all it reverts to' the same fundamental principle of self-control, and what greater aid is there to this than a hard won contest of any kind, es- pecially one where tiredness of body as well as mental fatigue plays so large ' ' ' ' ll ' t cl ' that a part But the certain phase in which we are most vita y interes e is id' tl. connected with college life, the common sports of basketball, irec y swimming, track and tennis. There is grace and beauty in all .of these, and doin them well There is nothing that equals the thrill of t e mo- joy in g . ment in basketball game when, the ball in hand, the referee says, Are you. .ready, Captain? the whistle blows and the play begins. F one who has ever felt that thrill there is a strong fascination and or a desire for more. The snap, snap of accurate passing and the swish of a long shot all go to make up the attraction that comes from that particular sport. Be e temperate in all things, is the only watchword for all of us who enter athlzetic life. Because we make our 'hearts beat so many times each minute is no reason why we should try to do so to excess, or why after sev- eral years of active college athletics we should drop these entirely as soon as we say goodby to our Alma Mater. They should be carried on to a cer- tain degree, and if they were there would be in our country a far fewer number of those who claim themselves to be old men and women when still in the primeof life. Th bl with so many is that they do not see any advantage in e trou e them at all, especially as pertains- to girls. It is true at Wheaton as well as elsewhere, the girls. when entering pay their gymnasium fee just as the boys and pay for their portion of time in the gym and their portion of coaching or wise supervision. t But they do not get it. Because only one coach for both men and men unless he were superhuman, could not possibly do it all. As a re- wo , h 'l tru le along by themselves and try to get what benefit sult, t e girs s gg . i they can from a sport, Whereas, if competent help and aid were give-n so h could be derived Not a girls' Varsity. They do not ask for muc more - - ' - 1 t fair chance to develop what is best and right for that, they ony Wan a women's athletics. And this can never be done until the girls are given some one who can advise, help them train, and in all ways be what a competent coach can be to her girls. 1 h ds could be supplied would there not be a higher standard If t ese nee , of health and happiness among the girls of Wheaton College?

One to ' t the students and friends of the institution an account of the school give o life as it progresses during the year and the other to bring to this same ' ' . If h s h lis group a condensed composite of the year s work and play. t e c oo large enough to support a third publication, it is well to have one devoted to student literary work in which may be published the best of the students' productions in poetry and prose. The Record is our newspaper. For the last thirty-six years it has given to its patrons the best that there is in college journalism. It started ' ' ' ' d b t ven of more of a literary nature than it is to ay u e organ of the college. Later it was issued as a bi-weekly f s a er. ln other words, as the as a monthly paper then it was the news and partook more of the nature o a new p p college has grown, the Record has progressed. Wheaton is rapidly grow- ing and we look for a corresponding growth in the Record The end of im rovement is not reached. It will not be reached until Wheaton has P ceased to be a growing institution. I L'k ll lle e newspapers the Record .seeks to be the voice of the 1 e a co g students. The staff invites criticism and contributions. Altho the primary . . . . . e f h purpose of this paper is the giving of accurate and interesting accounts o t e ' d ncements of forthcoming events on the campus, student activities an annou . h are columns given over to helpful editorials, Alumni news, literary h t ere r work, etc. The editors: do not try to put out their paper but rather t-e ' ' h' ' th not only seek the co-operation schools paper. To accomplish t is aim ey d b t also that of the Alumni Faculty and friends of the col- of the stu ents u , . lege. .Articles written by the Faculty members and others are published I ' ' ' th Record and tell in its columns. The Alumni are urged to write to e of their work. ' That the Record, is accomplishing its chief mission, that of giving to its readers the things they expect in a college paper, is evidenced by the fact that the circulation has nearly doubled in the last two years.

En- larged plans were formed last spring so as to Widen and deepen the work on the campus. Meetings for the college men were arranged, the first being a lecture on 'iEugenics by Dr. Yeager. The cabinet plans to have meetings which will include such speakers as Judge Landis of Chicago, Dr. Reiter of Wvheaton, Mr. Pence of Batavia, and Judge Harry Olson of Chicago. The fall work of the Y was successfully accomplished. The older brother letter scheme, whereby older men were correspondents with pros- pective students, worked well. Jobs were obtained for thirty men a-nd rooms for as many new students. A Welcome committee at the opening of school did the much needed work of showing to rooms, arranging of schedules and the numerous details which accompany enrollment. . Tuesday evening prayer meeting, poor farm work, jail work, Thurs- day night Bible Study, Gospel Team and other campus activities complete the fields of our work. The Gospel Team had many calls for service and were used of the Lord in many places. Bible study is handled by the Y itself, whereas the student prayer meetings are arranged for by both the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. Of all the student meetings it can be safely said that these two are the best attended. Our work this school year from the stag party throughout has been characterized by the earnest Work by the cabinet at large. The work is being blessed and enlarged so that our only need is a devoted group of men who are ready to win others for our Saviour. We believe in man's three- fold nature. We endeavor to meet the needs of this nature. To reach exfgery man on the campus is our objective. It can be done only by earnest e ort.

ORGANIZATIONS I W Student Volunteers L Truly the harvest is great but the laborers are few. Pray ye therefore that the Lord of the harvest will thrust forth laborers into l-lis harvest field. Without doubt the Lord is interested i-n foreign missions, H for I-le is not willing that any should perish. Yet how shall they call upon I-lim in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in l-lim of whom they have not heard, and how shall they hear without a preacher? One of the greatest fields of service for college trained men and women who love the Lord is the foreign missionary field, and' there is no greater joy or recompense than to win a soul from eternal damnation Land point that one to the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world. This is particularly true on the mission field, for many have not heard of a Saviour whofnot only SAVES and SANCTIFIES but also SATISFIES the heart' s deep est longings. From our Student Volunteer Band we have twenty-nine missionaries on the foreign field. Of these, fourteen are in China, one in Porto Rico, four in Africa, two in Persia, one in Turkey, one in Serbia, and six in India. Miss Barrows of the class of '20 is on her way to Guatemala to carry on the work of our Master. God has wonderfully blessed our band and each vol- unteer is serving I-lim with a real purpose of h.eart. There are many still who have never heard the name of Christ.

Tiedt W- Jones The Gospel Quartet Let the Redeemed of the Lord say so. It is because the Lord Jesus has redeemed us that we are desirous of telling others that He is willing to save, yes, even as l-le has done the same for all who will but believe and receive His salvation. The Gospel Quartet, which is really a part of the Gospel Team, has been privileged by the Lord' to spread the Gospel in Word and also in song. Besides accom! panying the Team as it holds services in Chicago and vicinity, they have made other extensive trips. A big trip was made .during the winter recess, and evangelistic services held in churches, missions, and Y. M. C. Afs in Buffalo, N. YI, Worcester, lVlass., Boston fand suburbsl, Paterson, N. J., Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Detroit. ' The Lord Jesus Christ is the Captain of the Four and with l-lim at the head it is not possible to lose a battle. Every need has been supplied for the carrying on of the meetings, including the health of the members of the quartet, and the finances needed for traveling and meeting the other ex- penses. of the trip. . Prayer is- power, and were it not for the fact that a great number of the student body as well as the parents and friends in the churches visited, were praying forthe team, undoubtedly results would have been different. Christ said, and if l be lifted up, l will draw all men unto me. It is not a' case of training a quartet to singto entertain, or thinking of illustrations to give, but the giving of the Word of God in all its beauty, simplicity and truth that still draws men to Christ. He is attractive enough, once men get a picture of His suffering in their stead, I-lis blood still avails for cleansing, and men still find l-lim as One who saves, sanctifies and satisfies. H One hundred sixteen' ORGANIZATIONS The Student Prayer Meeting ln many a college where the students' weekly prayer meeting once fac- tored strongly among its activities, the Form of Discussion Club has come d th the modern spirit Prayer testimony and to take its place, in accor W1 , , praise have been depreciated and a higher value has been put upon the dis- cussion of political and economic questions. That which is prolific of spirit- ' ' ' ' omitted. ual growth and that of the higher importance, is But this lamentable omission in so many other colleges is the very life-blood of dear old Wheaton. It is an institution of over fifty years' stand- , , h in and unquestionably Wheaton s most popular meeting. None ot er at- . g' tracts such crowds. Every week a number are compelled to stand. I The students cherish the enshrined lower chapel where prayer is wont to be made. l-lere the students- share their joys and sorrows. l-lere prayer is made not only for the needs of the student body but for the folks and church back home, for the missionary in some distant clime, and for what- ever request might be made. And the prayers are answered. l-lere vol- ume .after volume of praise ascends to God for l-lis unspeakable Gift and for the manifold spiritual and material blessings made possible because of the Supreme Gift. Here there is such an abundance- of testimony that time is often too short for the expression of all who are desirous of testifying, l-low many souls have been regenerated, how many Christians have been prevented from falling, no one will ever know, but every student has a deep sense of gratitude for this meeting not only while in college but after- wards while out in the world. ' Mission Study U e of the features of the spiritual life of the college is the Thurs- n day evening Bible Study. l-lere the student is given the opportunity to grow in grace and the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, and to prepare fulness for Christ and His Kingdom through this study for greater use of l-lis Word. , Ever since its inception at the time of the Wheraton Bible Conference in l920, the class has been fortunate, or may l say blessed, by having some of the greatest Bible teachers and students in Chicago and vicinity as its h h d Rev. I. C. O'l-lair, leaders. Among these for the past year we ave a Rev. William lVlcCarrell, Dr. lVl. A. Stone, Dr. C. Page, Dr. R. l-l. Glover, Rev. Sutherland and many others. The lines of study followed have been elt er IH i , , and both have been a spiritual blessing to the student body, the Faculty and ld k dvantage of the meetings. As those of the townspeople who wou ta e a H ' ' l ose of the meetings is that we might study to intimated the rea purp show ourselves approved unto God, workmen that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth. It is through meetings of this nature that we secure a clearer vision of the One who died for usg a deeper insight into spiritual things and a closer with Jesus Christ our Saviour. Let us look to Him for guid- ' h ' series or single studies communion ance in everything.

Glee club concerts, expression l d l'terar societies have also made use of the musicians to a large recita s, an 1 y extent and musicial activities have assumed large proportions. Between twenty-five and fifty public performances are given during the school year by members of this department. The increase in growth, and incidentally in interest, has been steady and sure. An ever increasing ex- cellence in the quality of the program given indicates progress toward the ideals of the instructors. ' Culture, plus education, marks the advance in civilization, and an ap- usic is an infallible dial mark of the height reached. Happy are those individuals who ,realize the value of a musical edu- cation and who even through sacrifice train their minds to an understanding of this noblest of all arts.

I-leretofore, the club was composed of men who had little or no experience in similar organizations. This year, in order to obtain the best voices, membership was determined by competitive examin- ations. Last year after The Tower had gone to press concerts were rendered in Elgin and LaGrange. The first concert of the new school year was given February twelfth in the college chapel. The second was scheduled at Argo, lllinois. ln addition other concerts were given in several neigh- boring citiesand towns.

With Joe Rawlins as Class President, we ,luniors feel proud that we are to be the successors of such a wonderful Senior Class as is leaving us this June.' We feel a great responsibility for the Academy Literary Society which our Seniors are so trustfully and gladly leaving in our care for direction through the year i924-25. Watch us make it grow in strength and virtue. Our chief social event during our Sopho- more year was the Washington Banquet. This year we were on the Academy hike given by the Seniors. We were on the sleigh ride, too. Though we are small in numbers we look forward to our Senior year with great an- ticipation. - I ' The Sophomores , A lot of newly-hatched broke the shell and began cheeping around the dear old Academy in September, l922. We tried to -follow the older ones and fly as they flew, but soon we found that we could not fly as high nor as well, in fact'we realized that we were poor, green, little Frosh. At our first class meeting of this year Ruth Kellogg was made Presidentg Vir- ginia Webster, Vice-Presidentg Earl Baumgartner, Secretary and Treasurerg and Arnold Perkson Athletic representative. r , Our class is small, but keep your eye on us, we may be Seniors yet. , The Freshmen l..ast September, true to our name, we surely did feel 'Hfreshf' A be- wildering array of new faces, new facts and formulas greeted us on every turn. But by Thanksgiving we felt that we were already a part of the big Academy family. We had our share of good times on the Academy hike, the sleigh ride and several other social occasions where we met all our fellow students and in a short time the freshness wore off. With Miss Fenton as pilot we believe our little ship will come safely into harbor after four years of dodging tempests of tardiness, swift destructive currents of examinations and drenching showers of broken rules. ,The Practice School The Practice School was organized by Professor Rice as a place of training for the college students who eXpect.to become teachers, but it is not a laboratory where all of the new ideas in education are tried at the expense of the pupils. I The Practice School is an ideal place for over-age students to make up work of the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. At present we have sixteen earnest Christian teachers in charge of recitations and study periodsl' They are doing all they can to help their pupils become not mere intellectual machines but boys and girls who love their Master.

As the school year progressed and the different classes were organized it was proposed to the Senior Class, as it had been in previous years, that a Literary Society be organized for the purpose of giving literary and par- liamentary culture to those who would never have the chance of receiving such training in any school or society. ' Thus it was that on December I9, l923, the ten-thirty classes were dismissed early and all the students gathered in the Latin room to elect their officers, the abovepnamed being chosen to preside as the first adminis- tration of the, Academy Literary Society. We have neither a name nor a motto, but a list of both is before us for careful consideration, and by the opening of school next fall we hope to be operating in full swing. P V We hold our meetings the second Wednesday of every month at eleven o'clock'sharp, butpthis will be only a temporary meeting hour, as next year we plan, to hold meetings once a Week and in the evening. . At the beginning of the year, after the organizing 'of the society was proposed, there was much talk, pro and con, concerning its merits- and unfavorable points, but the majority of the students appeared to receive the plan enthusiastically. The organizing of such a society has been an object of the Faculty's untiring efforts for many years. This year it has been accomplished by the Senior class and it is hoped that in the years to come this may be a lasting remembrance of the class of l'924.

Smith, H. Jorris. H , Academy Basketball The same problem that has confronted the Academy during the brief period of its basketball history has appeared again this seasong that of a limited supply of athletes. We began with practically an entire new squad and with no letter men from last year to form a nucleus around which to build a winning team. The prospective players got together in November and elected Perkson to head the team and it has been a wise choice, for as a running guard his equal has not been met on any of the opposing teams. His playing has been consistent and he has shown excellent team work in every game he has played. l-lis specialty lay in breaking up the plays of his opponents and dribbling out of danger and into a position where he could pass or shoot, especially the former. Witlm Rawlins as a standing guard we had a capable pair of defensive men. Joe's attitude toward the game is bound to win the respect of sport enthusiasts. Altho having to work all night he found occasion to come out for practice and he made every minute count, which after all marks the real player. Even when things didn't look very rosy and disappointment was rampant he stuck to the team, Where another fellow in similar circumstances would have quit. Jorris, our capable manager, started out this season as center, but lack of previous experience made the position hard to fill and left a weak link in the offensive side. l-lis whole interest was with the team which coupled with determination helped to eliminate his awkwardness to a large degree. One hundred thirty-three ACADEMY With Smith and-W. Phillips forming both wings of the offensive trio the ball was worked to the basket I d b the hi h point man of the season, altho his weakness lay in prove to e g his defensive game, but he was able to account for quite a few of the tallies made this season. W. Phillips -had a rather hard season. He started out in ' 'b ' fortune fi h e and looked like a valuable man for the team ut mis ne s ap claimed him just as the team began to take form. l-le had to drop out for a time with an injured hip but he came back later and gave his younger Th' l tter man brother, E. Phillips, a close race for the forward position. is a coming the second semester helped liven the hopes for a worthwhile season, for he was as good equally on offense as well as defense. ' with some degree of efficiency. Smith W. d l d a uard that we are proud of in DelVl,arco, a new re- e eve ope g cruit out for the first season of basketball. It was a treat to watch Cy get in and get 'em. I-lis middle name is Scrap and a mighty clean player at that. As a guard for next year his equal will be hard to find. A After the first game with Elmhurst, just before Christmas, We had reason to hope for a wonderful season, the score being ll-10, one point in Elm- hurst's favor. But lack of 'practice soon showed up against teams making a hard schedule. Considering the fact that the team had only two nights a week for practice and no formidable substitutes to create stiff competi- ondered at that the team could not come through with record. The only redeeming games were against Aurora College the game at Aurora being l6-7 in our favor and the return tilt to tion, it is not to be w a better Seconds, the tune of 27-IS. We lost to Naperville by one heartbreaking basket and also two games to Argo, the first by two points and the return game, which closed the season, by three points. - The ibright side of this season lies ahead inithe coming year, when the same team will return to wipe out the past defeats through t-he knowledge and confidence that they will be better fitted to work together as a unit and also from a yearisl practical experience. A - I One hundred thirty-four A c A J: 3,1 M Y An Academy Resume A life, in order to be complete, must have a fourfold purpose. It must develop the spiritual, mental, physical, and social powers. Lacking any one of these, a life cannot'-be well-rounded and fitted for the best service to others. We believe that the Faculty of Wheaton Academy has a vision of the necessity of a program which aids in thedevelopment of a fourfold life. The social activities are always clean and wholesome, supervised by some member of the Faculty, who has the best interest of every student at heart and is ever ready to do his utmost to make the student happy. There are class and Academy parties, banquets, dinners, sleigh rides in the winter and Weiner roasts in the spring and fall. The hikes to some quiet spot in the country, where a nice large fire can be built, games played and eats prepared, are always enjoyed by the Faculty as well as by the students. The physical needs are taken care of by gymnasium classes for all students. We have also the athletic functions in the program of physical training. Wheaton Academy is proud of the football, basketball, and base- ball teams which have won honors in past years. We are happy to recall these, knowing that in so doing each succeeding team.will be spurred on to aim high and ever strive to reach the goal set by those whose places they are filling. U 1 The development of the mental powers is cared for by excellent courses of study under the direction of able teachers who have a personal interest in. each ,individual student. Our representatives won t-he gold medals in the Oratory and Declarnation Inter-school contests in the spring of l923. When we look back over the years i923 and '24 we see many changes which we believe to be marks of advancement. Our literary society was organized this year. The enthusiasm shown and the co-operation given by both Faculty and students make us confident that Wheaton Academy is on a road leading upward to a higher plane in the realm of literary achieve- 1'I1CI1t. The spiritual welfare of each student is always the uppermost thought in the minds of our teachers, who are men and women consecrated to the work to which the Master has called them. Their Christian influence and their inspiring chapel talks are daily making indelible impression on the hearts and lives of the students of Wheaton Academy.

No fire alarm ever caused more consternationg noffalse alarm ever caused more disgust, the ringing of a dumbbell never caused more anguish than the Big Ben. Yet without it We are as helpless as a blind needle that has had its eye plucked outg as useless as a set of false teeth minus its customary lodging. Consider, if you will, the present plight of our country had not Ralph Roister Doister invented this instrument and its terrific message of awakening. Paul Revere, who astounded the whole nation by rising at three dclock in the morning, would never have taken his thrilling ride on Spark Plug had not the alarm roused him to action. Patrick l-lenry would never have delivered his famous Bunker Hill address at two A. M. in which those fiery words rang from between his teeth Cboth of them, and taken the world, by showerstorm, Keep that school girl complexion. Columbus would never have discovered America, Ellis Island, Fort Worth and Detroit had he not paced the deck at two o'clock, breasting the elements for a sight of Terra Firma, his head encased in a plaster cask and his cork leg in his nighthood. Henry Ford would never have caused the formation of insurance com- panies if he hadn't been roused from his dream of greatness by the alarm in time to record his idea. The result, as you know, -has made Walking a pleasure. ' Rip Van Winkle would not have stimulated the barber's trade had not the alarm clock Wakened him at the end of a hundred years. The reason for the recent failure of the banana crop, of which We hear so much lately, was the absence of a Big Ben. The farmer overslept and the lizards gathering at a Conference of the Amalgamated Order of Pegleg manufac- turers decided to graft peg legs on their anatomies. Thus they were able to scale the banana trees and devour the fruit. The world would not be as well off from a hygienic standpoint, for consider the present condition of 'peoplewithout Lydia W. Pinkharn's Vege- table Compound. Luther A. Burbank would never have caught the A. E.. and C. Express for Reno, Nevada, where he startled the youth of America by uttering those unforgetable words of warning, Never make love in a buggy, for horses carry tails. This anti-Morpheus Weapon wrested sleep from the eyes of the Duke of Wellington when he rose at day-break and stormed Napoleon's uncon- querable host, leading his forces to victory over the French. It was then that the great Napoleon -took out his artificial bicuspids, ground them under his heel and cursed the nuxated irony of fate, vowing it was the last time he would slumber without a Big Ben at his side. Summing up the events on which the invention of this Wonderful time- piece had had direct or indirect bearing we have: Paul Revere's never-to- be-forgotten ricleg Patrick l-lenry's inaugural address, Columbus' discovery of the theory of evolution: Van Winkle's'inHuence on the barbers' uniong Ford's stimulation of the hardwear trafhcg Pinkham's medicinal Renaissanceg Bur- bank's advice to the love.-lorn and Napoleon's Waterloo battle. l-lave you a Big Ben in your home?
