If so great a man as Lincoln felt himself almost to tears before his duty, how much more must we feel our inadequacy in attempting to pay tribute to the friends who, by their noble sacriiices, untiring eiorts, and by their very life's blood, have made Penn College what it is today. Elsewhere in this volume mention is made of the disastrous fire which destroyed all of Penn, except her friends and spirit. The memories are too fresh in our minds, yes, too deeply engraved in our hearts, to ever forget. In the days following the fire it was said, Penn is no more. It is impossi- ble to ever rebuild her. Money is not obtainable. But account had not been taken of the loyalty, of the untiring devotion and noble sacrifices of the thousands of friends of Penn College. Slavery was abolished and the Union preserved by four years of suffering, bloodshed, and sacrifice. Penn was saved, and moved to a higher level of efficiency by a lifetime of- can we not say truly ?-suffering, bloodshed and sacrifice. When we saw widows with their steaming hands in the wash tubs give their 35.00, 31000, or 52500, did not that represent a life of suffering, bloodshed, and sacrifice? Penn's friends met the needs of '16 in varying contributions from 3.50 to 330,000.00 In each instance it was the same spirit that has manifested itself in the number of crises through which Penn has passed. The spirit has always been one of sacrifice. And now it falls to the lot of one student to voice the feelings of re- spect, reverence and admiration we feel toward the countless number of Penn's friends. All have been helped by Penn to a better life, all have been inspired to a greater life's work by her spiritg the visions and in- spirations we have obtained from this noble host of people will be constant encouragement and help to a life that will in somewise proximate their lives. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated to the unfinished work which they have thus far nobly ad- vanced. It is rather for us to be dedicated to the g1'eat task remaining before us, that this college, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom and the principals for which it stands shall be spread to the people, by the people and for the people and that Penn's ideals shall not perish from the earth. 1+ if 'ru lf: Qlpfxxlm 4 4. ak J J? .y 4' Q' 5. 9' ill.-.

WILLIAMS The faculty and students felt a deep sense of personal loss in the sud- den death of Robert H. Williams on the occasion of the burning of the col- lege May 27, 1916. He died exactly as he had livedg for in life and in death he went straight forward to the goal of duty as he saw it, with fearless- ness and devotion to his convictions. Wherever he seemed most needed, there he was found performing the task that seemed at the moment most urgent. Whenever there was a battle on for right there he was in the midst of the fight. In the long struggle for prohibition of the liquor traf- fic he was untiring and unsparing of time, money and energy. In the school room, in business life, in the church, in every movement for the uplift of society he always did a large part. Full of energy and zeal and steadfast devotion to his task, he did more in his thirty-nine years than many men accomplish in their three score and ten. He belonged in every relation to that class of people who may be called givers, not getters, and many hearts were deeply saddened by the sudden passing of a great and good man. - at 4 'l'l'll'I Ql'.XIilfI!i 41 ' 4: f .j X I 1. ., 1 1 ,f 4 ,, 4 .lk . 4 , a W ' - 1, ,. . .

The old Penn we loved once, has fallen, And left us in sorrow and grief, But the staunch Penn spirit was with us, And brought to us instant relief. Through sorrow, through trouble, trials, With a glorious vision in view, Our Penn has gone onward and onward, And now has her vision come true. With a valiant host behind her, With a spirit that will endure, She has wrought of her dreams a fabric T That is lasting, firm and sure. Strength she has garnered from weakness, Faith from doubt and despair, Light she has wrought out of darkness, And gained a victory rare. To thee, our dear Alma Mater, We bring a parting lay, To thy spirit, which guides and leads us, We offer a tribute today. In thy new and blest habitation, May the old spirit come and dwell, May the choicest ideals be cherished, Thy traditions guarded well. May we, one group of thy children, The truth of thy precepts obey, To the world of men that awaits us, The torch of thy faith convey. Bid thy spirt come and attend us, In the fields that lie far outside, May its radiance soften the darkness, And its peace with us ever abide. 1 'l'lil'l Qlh-KKICR 1 A, .y -I 'l'Hl'l Ql'Ahll'IR 9 f -'vii' D , M 919.1 Q X f f 'ff 4 4, A ,Q 3 l 'f' ' olvkfo X N ,f ' H 'f' f. f , , .

The occasion was one calling for heroic courage and he with others rose to meet the emergency. In giving his life in the service of the college he has forever endeared himself to all lovers of Penn. He was a member of the Freshmen class of 1916, having gradu- ated from the Penn Academy in the spring of 1915. with a high standing in his class. He was known by. all as an energetic, capable, and willing worker in whatever task he undertook. He was a popular member of the student body, entering heartily into student activities with a true spirit of service to his fellows. He was a member of the Young Men's Christian Association, Brightonian and Euphemian literary societies, a member of the Men's Glee Club and a participant in athletics. He was always inter- ested in those things that make for development and enlargement of char- acter and he unquestionably would have been a strong and forceful leader with broad sympathies and large interests. His close associates lament the loss of a friend-loyal, steadfast, and trueg the student body, the loss of a leader-talented, refined and growingg the faculty,,the loss of a stu- dent--strong, capable and worthy, and of great promise for the future.

It brings back the scenes of thcse free, reckless days When life for the future was but a dim haze, When all was untried, a mere fanciful dream, 4 And life passed on slowly, a nature forced stream. On its finger worn pages my hand traces o'er Those old college scenes of the glad days of yore. I see on it pictures of class rooms and halls. I hear merry voices in echoing walls. Our new college building we hailed with delight, With its white, massive doorways and its dome gleaming bright And how glad we all were when entering there That the Penn spirit of old pervaded the air. The Seniors, and Juniors, we held in esteem, And we all toed the mark while in their regime. One morn I remember we Sophs looked awry At a white, purple, dummy suspended on high. On Hallowe'en evening we did things up right, And two Freshmen girls entertained Sophs that night. Our last Sophomore party-I remember it yet- When through the whole evening we played sommerset. Our Sophomoreclass of Nineteen-twenty, Was the most illustrious, we had evidence, plenty. On the old football field I see Harrison, Hugh, Bruce, Loyal, and Howard, our president, too. In basket ball also, how old Penn did score When Ralph, Willard and Wienie got out on the fioor! Didn't we furnish songsters? Just let me relate! In the boys' and girls' glee club we class-ed up first rate. There was Eugene and Irving, Grace, George and Princelle, Then Guerney and Lester,-I recall it so well- R-eva, and Emily-how I long once again To be back with my classmates, a student in Penn! To hear Sibyl play in her most charming style! Just to hear Sabron read, or to visit awhile With Earl, Tunis, and Henry in the chemistry lab, And to talk of the times we as students oft had! In debates we were active as well it might seem, With Helen and Margaret cn the all college team, I-Iere's Helen, Lucile, Verda, and Esther with thots afar These were jolly good friends-I oft wonder where they are. -Lee Beier. fl 4: 'l'Hl'l lQl'.A,.lil'lli. lf' JK 4 'l'Hl'I Ql'.Xlx ER 41 'HIIC l2l'.XIi ff ,,,f5HI1 , kills' x, fo: 'fktf xx !Tko.m4!

The Juniors and Seniors furnished us with this lovely snow-white page, lf we leave it marred or blemished, please blame that upon our age. We are young and we are foolish-Ah, I see your little smirk, But we're the only class in college that does real work. Our numbers came from all lands and climes, knowledge to pursue, In Penn's great halls of wondrous fame, 'neath colors gold and blue. Scotia sent a bonny lass, with heather in her hair, Japan a small brown student with mind acute and rare. The cold and frigid northland sent down a large addition, While Texas and Missouri added to the exhibition. Then there are the others who did not need to roam For they were very fortunate in having Penn at home. Now, when we all came marching in, that morning in September, Folks put it down as a day that they would long remember. The Seniors gasped, the Juniors paled, the Sophomores were appalled, For such precocious youths and maidens ne'er had entered Penn's great halls When coaches saw our brawny men, their eyes with glee did shine, And well our fellows starred for Penn in every battle line. ,Our girls, too, are athletes, Miss Jones says they are fine, They won the cup in basket ball with little loss of time. We have speakers, too, who can debate and who extempoed well, They are always up to standard, and their teachers mark them well. Yes, we are young and we are foolish-What! again that little smirk? But we're the only class in College that does real work. And now we wish to thank our Seniors for this fair unsullied page, We have smeared it, and it's blotted, but aren't we clever for our age? -K -X 'l'l-llfl Qlifklil-ll! 41 +2 1-if -K 4: HHS tri 'auf-TN 1kUamwamze,52aHr.muwP-f. l .+ X? r If if .,l ., +I 41 4: hliu12l.HxK'IH1K 4l 'Q fy .

This Club was a new organization at Penn, there having for- merly been both Men's and Women's Glee Clubs. The success of the Club was suiiicient proof of the wisdom of the venture. The Club made a Spring tour as had been the annual custom of the Glee Clubs. Concerts were given at Monroe, Indianola, Earlham, Dallas Center, Perry, Paton, Fort Dodge, Iowa Falls, and Marshalltown. This tour of the Madrigal Club proved to be as successful as that of any former musical organization of the College. Their program, wherever given, met with hearty applause. Everyone was more than delighted with the full club numbers, The Huntsman's Chorus, from Der F1-eischutz, by Weber, the arrangement from Lucia Di Lammermoorf' by Donnizetti, and the Miserere f1'om 'fIl Trovatore with the solo parts given by Hazel Mills and Griffith Wright. Eva Marshall as Aunt Jane was especially liked. Prof. Burnett sang with deep feeling, Sing Me a Song of a Lad That Is Gone, and few of us will ever forget Ripe Strawberries, as given by the quintette-Algie Holmes, By1'il Jones, Griffith W1'ight, Ca1'ey Farr and Theron Cofiin. 1- if THE QUAKER if I g .

Uhr Girlz' C5122 Olluh The Penn College Madrigal Club was a combination of the Penn Glee Club and the Penn Singer's Club. In 1917-1918, under the able leadership of Professor Nicholas, the Girl's Glee Club was again organized with Marie Roberts as president and Olive Larrance as secretary-treasurer. It seemed advisable, because of the school year being shortened, leav- ing only one day of Spring Vacation, not to attempt the annual Spring singing tour. However, the Club made several public appearances. It sang in two Friday morning chapel musicals, at a banquet of the Oska- loosa Commercial Club, at the Easter Service of the College Avenue Friends' Church, at the Easter Vespers of the Congregational Church, and atithe College Ex, a Red Cross Benefit. -K 'I'Ill'Z QUAKER 1 1- ' -:za-ellnlngemnqx Will ui X Ti Z -yn 1 +.rff'w:'f-Qnmmnvwwfr' 3 fl :ll 111 FIRST ROW-Faust, Butler, Haworth, E.

Harrison snapt the group and the train was in. Once on p bO2l1'd we surrounded Kelly and Mrs. Davis and sang I Want a Girl 5 when .Q suddenly, we heard Here, you'll have to stop that, there's a man sick up here. But there was a man married back there, and anyway, we were thru. The stage coach for men at LeGrand reminded us of Roughing it and we did so, Gurney and Griff being it. Malone drove the rig in which Prin- celle, Helene and Miss Madden rode. In the evening Walton pleased all with the Nightingale, and Griff's Barbara Fritchie was popular from the start. if In Marshalltown we had the pleasure of singing Estudiantina, by La- comb, before the Searchlight Club at supper at the Y. In the prog1'am Kissick's cornet solo and Faust's Bandelero W61'6 popular. While at Lynnville we had our meals at Harlan Meredith's. Then came the snow, in great bunches, so that finally Nicholas swept the walk. We sat during the intermissions behind sound-proof screens, the audience saw Shorty hit the floor but did not hear any noise. Here Miss Blattner read 4: Pauline Pavlona, which was even more popular than her lighter num- bers of former programs. The quartette sang, I Think of Thee, Sweet Margarita. Our closing groups of songs contained On the Sea and Good Night, by Dudley Buck, and America, which the audience sang with us. Our train stopt at Searsboro, as it should, and we arrived home with just this to say, Men, try to make the Club next year. Ig, -,..

The studios are equipped with all facilities necessary for a musical atmosphere. To meet the changed situation brought about by the greater distance from the city, a suite of six rooms at the southwest corner of the square on the second floor was secured and furnished in an attractive manner to serve as studios for the instructors in music. This placed the work of the new Music Departments accessible, not only to the college students, but also to the people of the city, including the children, who did not wish to come so far. Several changes were made in the faculty of the School of Music last year. With the resignation of Professor Burnett, it was necezsary to se- cure a director for the Music School and also a man to take charge of the Voice Department. Charles Griffith of the Piano Department was ad- vanced to the former position, while Charles Nicholas, of Emporia, Kan- sas, took charge of the work in voice. Carl Woodford remained as head of the Violin Department. At the demand of a growing patronage, it was deemed advisable to enlarge the School of Music. Myrtle Bussey, a former instructor in Piano at Penn, was engaged for the Piano Department, and Mrs. Mary D. Liggett for the Voice Department. One of the aims of the Music Department is to present to the com- munity only the best of music. During the year, many interesting recitals have been given by visiting artists, the faculty, and the students. The latter have proven of great value, especially to the participants. Frequent opportunities have been offered' to the students to appear in recitals at the down town studios, at the College, and at Chapel. The Glee Clubs and the Choir of the Colloge Avenue Friends' Church have brought to the com- munity a keener appreciation of the best music. A splendid force for raising .the musical ideals of the students is the MacDowell Club, composed of students from Mr. GrifTith's class. The Club meets every other Tuesday for an instructive program. While not pri- marily a social club, such cou1'tesies are occasionally extended to talent coming to us from outside the city. The School of Music ideals for the future are high. To quote from the catalog, Our aim is, to so educate our students that they may become artistic performers, to cultivate a better appreciation and iiner under- standing of the real value of music, to produce a well rounded develop- ment which will eventually make the student the cultured musician whom the world demands. To attain this well-rounded development courses from the college are being gradually added to those from the School of Music so that the student may become educated not only in music but also in the allied subjects that are indispensable to a thorough knowledge of music. i 4 dk 'l'lll'I Ql'Alil'lR K 4 Hg' 9' 'If 'K 'F -K 41 dk illrl 'gl .Xlxldli -K - , Page N .. ny 1' 4 -.e.u41, an Ellie lgenn Glnllrge Exprraainn Brqzmrtmwt The Penn College Expression Department had as its capable instruct- ors, Miss Alma Madden and Mrs. Roxane Cournyer. Miss Madden has for two years had charge of the college expression and drama classes, and this yearlher private work has been extended to the down-town music studios. Under her supervision there have been various class recitals in expression du1'ing the year. Class work of espe- cial merit has been presented in chapel. Also, this department has assisted in entertainments given' by the music department, and student talent has put on short plays for society programs. This year, the expression and music departments gave the College Ex, a program for the Red Cross Benefit. V Mrs. Cournyer's work in the teaching of repertoire and platform read- ing, since she was first connected with the college several years ago, has always been most successful. The annual recital given by her pupils, and assisted by the College Male Quartette, was given in the First Presby- terian Church. The packed house and the enthusiasm with which the program was received, testify to the popularity of Mrs. Cournyer's recitals. Mrs. Cournyer, herself, is a charming reader. During the winter months she has given her se1'vices freely in the interests of the Red Cross campaigns, reading several evenings a week with the county organization of the Council of Defense. She presents one senior, Eva Marshall, in recital with Rachael Aldrich, senior in piano. ' 1--1 GRIFFITI-I'S MUSIC ROOM rg- llnn4c 1 +L 'l'lIlf1 Qllklilflli 4: -k +n if ll' ?4Sg.x + A Q?

The result was that more commodious quarters down town were secured where the School of Comme1'ce has grown by leaps and bounds. On April 4, the entire building, in which the school was located, was destroyed by fire, and since that time the School of Commerce has occu- pied temporary quarters in William Penn Hall on Penn Campus. Plans a1'e now practically complete whereby the Business Department will occupy the first floor, east wing of the Main Building permanently g where with brand new equipment and the many college advantages not to be had in the down town district, the Penn School of Commerce will be able to do better work than ever before. Under the efiiicient management of Messrs. E. A. Zelliot and H. E. Kilmer, the School of Commerce now occupies a place in the front rank among commercial schools in Iowa. Miss Clara McFate, a former student at Penn, and a teacher of several years experience, is Principal of the Sho1'thand Department, while Miss Floretta Bidwell, Ph. B., Penn, '14, has charge of the Business Department. The School of Commerce continues to growg and now with new equip- ment and the best business school quarters in the state, the P. S. of C. is destined to occupy even a more conspicuous place than she has heretofore in moulding the lives of men and women who go forth into business activi- ties of life, and take with them the Penn spirit and the Penn ideals of honesty and industry in all things.

This is the old ship Argo, which is manned by modern Argonauts. Ogie of themost lasting and practical features of college life is the mem- ory' which clings to the society activities. The society is more than a lit- erary organization in which its members receive intellectual and social training, which, in themselves are inestimableg it stands for increafed social eniciency and lasting friendships. Argonaut is formed as a joint society of Alcimian and Alethian and the programs given, both in the separate meetings and in the joint Argo- naut meetings have shown the ability and interest of its memberx In all its activities the society aims toward the development of the individual. In debates, her members have given largely to the ranks which :taunchly met the teams from other colleges and for the past years she has helped t:- ruppart her Alma Mater in various oratorical contesti. It has been the .custom of the society to give a public exhibition each year. The theme of the program given in the spring of 1917 was Social Racing, the main feature of which was the French play Dust in the Eyes. The whole plan of the program was built upon the social problems of the day and was presented in the various forms in which they are found. There public programs not only give to the community some idea of what literary Work the college students are doing but it develops in various ways those who gave the exhibition. The special social features of the past year were aibeautifully arranged Symposium du1'ing apple blossom time which was given in the Friends' church basement, and a picnic in the Woods. Many from the society have nobly upheld the honor of the O'd Gold and Blue on the athletic field and in the gymnasium. It has b:en the aim of the society to help make Penn a bigger and better college, standing for the best principles that an institution can have. Argnnaut Sung Tune: Missouri Waltz.

It seemed for a time that the Society never could raise up out of the debris of a ruined College building and plant itself again upon a firm foundation. The summer was coming on, this was just before com- mencement, and of course it was too late for the Society to be re-estab- lished for that year. Think ye not, however, that Lowell had lost its earnestness and en- thusiasm. With the acquirement of a new Penn College, and the rising of hopes and ambitions in the minds of Penn students, came a boom in the history of the Society. It was revealed pleasantly and almost surprisingly to the Academy and College as a whole, that Lowell Literary Society should, with so much zest and fearlessness, start its year's activities in the fall of 1917. The Society was compelled to borrow Argonaut Hall which was very generously and kindly loaned, and nothing was allowed to hinder the usual progression of Lowell's work. Throughout the year spent in the Friend's Meeting House, the Society was a real sunbeam in the cloud of destruction which had come down so suddenly upon the College and Academy. As was suggested before, Lowell Society is enjoying a new era in its history. New enthusiasm was added to what was already on hand the first of this year. The reception given by the Society to new students was a success. Everyone was strong for Lowell. That strength has not weakened, but rather, has multiplied. During the year, each meeting has seen a larger attendance and a better program. It has been gratifying to Lowell to see the fine interest coming from the Academy faculty and mem- bers of the College Literary societies. Hardly a meeting passes but what some visitors are lending their influence and support by their attendance. Lowell is on the ascendency! May it never decline! sewer- ,, gufie- -at 423' N' J . -'rf fa.. f f I-i-- -vis 'rf' P f-. ff- x ' Ma, gf il lf 1-5 4, is 1+ 'run Ql',-xsucl: 4 ix- 111 Qi A ' 13. . . ., 191111-17 t I . ll' li' ' 1,:'a.ly Eves Standing Aldrich .Innes Marsfull ' Ifawmxh Il:-sen! or :cr Hanna liiivhener Kelsey Williams G1 eene OFFICERS 1916-17 ' A' President, Lorena Kelsey, Vice President, Grace Michenerg Secretary, Gail Wil- . liamsg Treasurer, Emma Rcsenbergerg Chcrister, Mildred Haworthg Pianist, Rachel Aldrich. 1, COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN Maud Brady, Helen Hanna, Mary Eves, Ethel Standing, Byril Jones, Eva Mar- shall, Mary Green. Many difliculties confronted the Young Women's Christian Association when school opened in the fall of 1916. Finally, however, the Association work was started and the weekly devotional meetings were held in the cl1urch auditorium, and what meetings they were! What girl could forget ll' the precious daysqwhen Mother Bess was her and gave us so much inspiratioii? Then there were the Cabinet girls dressed in white for the installation service, their faces serious with the thought of the mission entrusted to tl1em. These meetings and others of a similar nature gave to each girl a spirit of love and friendship embodied in the Young Women's Christian Association, to say nothing of the committee meetings where we all became 'i' so well acquainted and planned our work of service for Jesus Christ. 341, , 1 sy 1 'I'lll'I Ql'.Xlil'1K -X Ak K- Pax-re 96 41 4' 4 14.

In September, 1917, the new location, new buildings and all the other changes of Penn gave to Penn Y. W. C. A. a freshness and vigor which made her prospects appear roseate, and not once has the rosy color faded. The meetings this year have been varied and interesting and the at- tendance has been good throughout the year while all the committees have worked faithfully to make the name of Jesus Christ more real and vivid in this college, with the result of a closer bond of friendship between the girls and a closer relation to God. Perhaps the machinery has run so smoothly that we have not fully appreciated the Y. W. C. A. and what it has done for us, but ask any girl if she would like to be without the very essence and foundation of her college life, the friendliness and spirit of service caught from the Asso- ciation work, and when you hear her emphatic No! you will say that truly Penn Y. W. C. A. has not lived this year in vain. an 'ma mlmuzu 41 4' Page I W. 4 'i'lll'T mixmcic -yr -pr 13. HH. Ol.

Ps., 1917-'IB Reynolds McCracken Woods Thomas Batten Woodford Ford Winslow Bogue The Penn Young Men's Christian Association during the past two years has passed through a crisis heretofore unknown in its history. But despite the fact that the Asso- ciation has been handicapped by a lack of materials and furnishings it has not been lacking in interest and initiative. Willingness to tackle the big things, and even more singleness of purpose and consideration of higher aims have been dominant among the younger men. Under the guidance of K. A. Kennedy, State Student Secretary, a successful campaign for the relief of soldiers was launched which in its result surpassed all expectations. The Young Men's Christian Association was fortunate in securing the services of Dr. and Mrs. Bess of Iowa City during January, 1917, to conduct special meetings which were strong and inspiring, and whose influence will be felt for years to come. Even though the Association has had its share of outside speakers in the perscns of K. A. Kennedy, Stat'e's Student's Secretary, and Reiche, Secretary of the Student Volunteer Movement, home talent, in the persons of Walter Dexter, Mrs. Berry, Prof. Kelsey, Dr. Rogers, Pres. Edwards, and many others have added inestimably to the success of the work. It fell to the lot of Henry Bogue as President of the Association to carry the ideals of the old college over and supplant them in the new Penn. Bogue is a favorite among the college boys and this combined with his ability as a natural born leader, has made the new Penn Young Men's Christian Association a genuine success. 1+ if 'rule lllhtlxllfll 4 ,K If .1 li 1 Page 99 4, 4, 'rmz mymmil: y, -4, 'S , ' . -4 xwl f l Kg a vp, Cbvnrua To every girl in Penn the one word Geneva glows with meaning. To those who have taken that delightful trip to a pleasant lake in Wisconsin, Geneva means the most perfect example of a ten days' combination of spir- itual refreshment and real fung and to those who have never gone to Geneva it means a great longing and eager expectation for something almost too wonderful to even be a reality for them, for Geneva really means all this and a thousand times more. We read of wonderful people but cannot make them seem like real human beings until we live among them and have a chance to see for our- selves how truly great they are, and there is no better place in all the world to have this opportunity than at Geneva, Where we can get an inspir- ation from association with them, and can bring back to Penn messages which will spur all of us on to a desire to make our lives more worthy in the sight of Godf To live for ten days on a beautiful lake shore and enjoy all the fun of camp life, and at the same time to live among men and women whose Christian strength of character is more worth while than the best she had ever hoped to obtain: this is an experience without which no girl can consider her education complete.

Henry Bogue, Stewart White, Roy Woods, Loyal Thomas, Paul Edwards and Earle Winslow composed the bunch of Penn fellows who attended the Lake Geneva Y. M. C. A. convention in 1917, from June 15 to 25. We cast anchor on the shores of Lake Geneva in the evening. Boat load after boat load were continually arriving until some seven hundred fellows from the colleges of the middle west had congregated. The forenoons and evenings were given over to lectures and study groups of the most interesting character. Such noted men as Dad Elliott, Bishop McDowell, Raymond Robbins, Mel Trotter and others brought us their great platform sermons. The afternoons were free. Every fellow in our bunch, took to the water like frogs. We rowed by the hour but swam only by the minute, as the lake was yet rather cold. Most of us took part in the big field meets and sight-seeing excursions. Meal time was especially popular with its pande- monium of college yells and songs in constant swing. Another source of delight to many of the fellows was the Girls' Y. W. C. A. encampment at Conference Point, a mile away, where some nine or ten Penn gi1'ls were at home under lenient chaperons. It's a great place. Don't neglect to plan, sometime in your college career, a trip to Geneva. 4. ,U 4 rm. ru' klilili .pr an Q. , P L 4- xg- :ln-1131 Xxxlflll if if Svtuhent Hnluntvvra, 1917-'13 C McCracken Michoner M tin Aldrich Hester Smith H th if - ,f :asap-igipxmfzrcy 1+ 4 .gr 'l'lll'I Ql fxmci: 41 4: Svtuhent Hnlunterrz, 1517-'IH Does God call young people to foreign missionary service in War time? Does the Student Volunteer Movement have a place in the present pro- gram of the world? These were some of the questions that presented themselves at the beginning of this year. The Volunteers found that their College was greater than ever before. At a National Conference in Northfield, Mass., where Grace Michener represented Penn, a program was adopted-whose slogan was, Mobilize for Christian World Democracy. This means that the world must not only be made Safe for Democracy, but that democracy must first be made safe for the world. It must be Christianized. Never before in the history of the world was Jesus Christ more necessary than He is today. He stands out strong among the weak, living, among the dead. Two million died last year in battle. We were and are rightly concerned. Twenty-three million died in heathen lands without Christ. Are we rightly concerned? Every Christian must be mobilized for the Christian conquest of the world. We dare not wait to be drafted. We must help those on the firing line in India, China, Africa, and Isles of the Sea. To make one part of the world safe, all must be safe. Christ mustsave all. The band this year has had a most splendid year together. That the missionary interest has been aroused at Penn is evidenced by the fact that it was difficult to limit to thirty the delegation to the State Missionary Convention at Des Moines. We have especially enjoyed having Mrs. Clarence McClean with us, who has been spending her furlough here. Mr. and Mrs. McClean have charge of a school in Cuba. Other treats have come to us through the visits of Mr. Havinghurst and Miss Snell, national Student Volunteer Workers.

Iowa Wesleyan Penn Parsons In the fall of 1916, Penn launched two girls' debating teams on the sea of forensics with Alma G. Madden as pilot. This was a new departure in forensic activities at Penn. Every one was eager to see what the results would be. By intercollegiate agreement the girls were to debate the ques- tion, Resolved, that a national boa1'd of arbitration should be established to have jurisdiction over all railway disputes. The question was alive with possibilities and public interest due to the impending rail tie-up in this country. The girls worked hard and on December 15, met Simpson with the affirmative at Parsons. Lois Clark, '19, Ella Dungan, '17, and Helene Blattner, '20, assisted by Agnes Oakley, '19, as alternate, defeated Parsons unanimously. We were less successful on the home floor and lost two to one. Nevertheless Floy Morgan, '19, Gladys Smith, '18, and Mildred Haworth, '18, assisted by Stella Beals, '17, as alternate, worked hard, and honorably defended the Gold and Blue. Meanwhile action was under way among the boys. Dr. C. M. Case had been appointed as coach. Early in the fall the teams had been chosen and the questions decided upon. They were to debate an equally live subject, i. e.: Resolved, that the government should own and operate the railroads within the United States. After the usual amount of hard grind, the men met Parsons with the afiirmative, at Penn, and Wesleyan with the negative, at Wesleyan February 15, 1917. Bert Vanderwilt, '17, Walter Byers, '18, Roy Woods, '18, and George Clark, '20, as alternate, defeated Persons, and Duane McCracken, '18, Paul Edwards, '20, and Kelly Davis, '17, lost to Wesleyan. This showing taken with that of Chase Conover, '17, mentioned else- where as orator, we at Penn believe to be a good one. We are proud of our forensic record. We believe it to be exceptional. We challenge any college in the state to hold college in church, gymnasium, dwelling house and barn, having no place for a lib1'ary that would hold more than two hundred volumes, be in the midst of a fund raising and building campaign, and at the same time equal our record. We are proud of our debaters, orators and coaches. , 5 1, 4 'lllllii 1F3il .Xlil'lll M X Page 108 4 4 Till'-I an Aamir: 41 4-: Eflynne tu mlgnln All Einnnr in Env CLARENCE MARSH CASE, A.B..

Simpson Penn Parsons Iowa Wesleyan Penn Parsons It has always been Penn's custom to choose subjects of current issue and of popular worth. It was not at all surprising, then, to hear the an- nouncement early in the fall that the girls would debate the question, Resolved, that two years military training should be made compulsory for all men in our colleges and universities. Coach Madden put in her call for debaters and as a result of the inter-society debates, the following teams were chosen to defend Penn in the coming contest. The af'l'irmative team consisted of Agnes Oakley, '19, Marie Roberts, '19, and Helene Blattne1', '20, assisted by Hazel Norris, '21, as alternate. The negative team was composed of the following girls: Grace Michener, '18, Margaret Hoover, '20, and Gladys Smith, '18, assisted by Teresa Nye, '18, as alternate. . As might be expected under present conditions, the negative p1'oved very un- popular and our girls lost to Simpson two to one. On the affirmative, how- ever, Penn was more successful, and we won two to one. However, we are no less proud of our negative team which stood out against public opinion and proclaimed in war times their convictions and arguments for peace as opposed to the militaristic platform of compulsory military training. The boys also had a timely subject in Resolved, that our cabinet should be made responsible to the House of Representatives. After the inter- society debates, the deliberating committee with the help of Prof. C. E. Cosand, who had been appointed as coach, recommended the following teams: Duane McCracken, '18, Earle Winslow, '19, and Walter Byers, '18, assisted by Willard Jones, '20, as alternate, for the affirmative. For the negative they recommended George Clark, '20, Herbert Malone, '18, and Roy Woods, '18, assisted by Eugene Dungan, '20, as alternate. The sub- ject proved exceptionally hard and all material had to be accumulated at first hand. No debate and but little writing was available on the subject. Because of the call to se1'vice of Hospital Unit R, in which so many Par- sons men were enlisted, she found it necessary to early withdraw. Immef diately a dual debate was scheduled with Wesleyan for the same subject and the same date. All went well until a week befo1'e the debate when Wesleyan insisted upon a postponement of date for a month on the grounds of unpreparedness. Penn had one man leaving for Camp Dodge on the next Friday, another awaiting call for Friends' reconstruction work, and four mo1'e subject to draft, leaving only two debaters left. We simply could not postpone, however much we wished to. Wesleyan's reply was We will forfeit the debate to Penn. In conclusion we can only say, Penn's forensic contenders in 1917-1918 we1'e among the best Penn ever produced. She loves and respects them all. 4 41 4 'rm-Q.

Conover won .second place at the Divisional Contest held at Wesleyan and fifth place in the State Contest at Parsons. 1917-1918 I Eva Marshall, '18, defeated all competitors and was chosen as Penn's orator for 1918. With a scholarly oration entitled, Beyond the Camou- flage, and thorough coaching she developed rare abilities along this line. She took first place at Parsons, where the Divisional Contest was held, and fifth place at Morningside, in the State Contest. ' We at Penn are proud of our girls. In all lines they have proved their Worth. For several years none had entered oratory until Eva so ably upheld their value and the tra- ditions of Penn. -K i 'l'l-HC QVAKER 1 41 T' 113 'F i' 'Ir ..- ..- - V. -s .V 1 -af 4k 'k if f ' 'k gPE ' L ' 'f iz' ,Q 3: 8f:..i'F32iPZi'2Za S8k5i Svrrihhlrrz Glluh TOP ROW-Jones, McCracken.

Tlhe Qbuakrr The Quaker, to some of you will mean, a few years hence, hours of pleasure spent in the land of memory g now, it means, to some of us, hours of toil, combined with much worriment, long hours and little sleep. But, in spite of the hard work, we, the Quaker Staff, have spent many happy hours in its making. ' Just when our troubles began, the editor, Duane McCracken, was called to the service, leaving the burden of the publication of the book upon the shoulders of the associate editor. However, with the excellent aid of the business manager, and the willingness to help of the other members of the staff, the burden has been wonderfully lightened. We haven't attempted to publish a book of entirely new events-we have simply made a review of the past two years. ' When time who steals our years away Shall steal our pleasures too, The mem'ry of the past will stay And half our joys renew. If in the years to come, this book maybsometimes drive away a frown and bring a pleasant smile, we feel that our hours of labor have not been spent in vain, and we hope you can truly say: As the dew to theblossoms, the bud to the bee, As the scent to the rose, are those memories to me. 4 'l'lll'l QIHKIQICR 4 4 41 4, 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 P ge 117 W .N 'V n 1 B 1f '.R1, M us M- 'N W - X .A ' W :hx cbv.

Guthrie came to Penn from Mac- alester College, where he won many hcnois for his Alma Mater on the gridiron, the cinder path and the basketball Hoor. His interest in all student activi- ties and h's strong forceful character as we'l as his successful coaching of the football, basketball and track teams won him a high place in the esteem of the student body. The athletes found him an ener- getic and capable leader whom every man grew to respect, admire and honor highly. Coach Jay L. Lee came back to Penn at the be- ginning of the school year 1917-1918 to coach her football team. His success as a coach of the Penn athletic teams in 1915-1916 warranted his return. The team s record this year was far above the high- est hopes of the team's most enthusiastic followers at the opening of the season. Mr. Lee's character- istic aggressiveness, enthusiasm and optimism, added to his thorough knowledge of the game, instilled con- fidence, determination and eagerness in all his ath- letes. Biffy's tact, wit and good-fellowship went far toward making the grind of hard work a pleas- ure for the squad. Page 120 if -V - ,- N1 ,. f .- f. -. , 1. 'A' 5 'lr f -K if '.

THE SEASON ' Penn's 1916 football squad faced the first season in the Iowa Conference with the heaviest schedule in the histo1'y of football at Penn. The Fresh- men Rule of the Conference, materially cut down the squad. Coach Guthrie, new to Penn, was neither acquainted with the ability of her athletes nor the strength of her opponents. Coupled with these facts, during the season the team suffered more with injuries to players than any other team in the past ten years. Needless to say the outcome looked doubtful. De- spite these facts Coach Guthrie developed a team that sprung some very welcome surprises for its loyal rooters and dispersed the gloom merchants in haste. Drake was held to one touchdown and Penn succeeded in count- ing two points-a feat in itself worthy to claim success for the whole sea- son. The Dutch, our oldest rivals, were beaten twice during the year, strafing them 69-6 on the Penn field. The strong Iowa Wesleyan team was beaten decisively on their own home field. Only by a Hdarkness' situ- ation we1'e the husky Parsons players able to rob Penn of an earned vic- tory on Thanksgiving day-for Penn had outplayed them thru the entire game, having gained 27 first downs against Parsons 7 first downs for 310 yards against Parsons 95 yards during the game.

THE SEASON - Penn closed her second season in the Iowa Conference at the top, tieing with Grinnell and Parsons for first place, each team winning all of their Conference games. It was unquestionably the best record made by Penn in the past ten yea1's, and probably farther back than that. The team won all the home games and tied the score at the big Drake Stadium and lost by a small score after a long trip to Monmouth. Some interesting facts are revealed by the scores. No team scored more than once on Penn, while Penn scored at least once on every opponent. Only three times during the entire season did an opposing player succeed in wedging his way across the Penn goal line and only once did a kicker evade Penn's charging line- men and succeed in toeing the pigskin across the cross-bar. In two games the opposing teams failed to score at all. Doesn't that prove that we had a real team? It was certainly a high standard to set for the New Penn, and a wonderfully gratifying finale for football on the Old Penn Field. Here's to the success of Penn athletes on the New Penn Field!

Hawk, head of the De- partment of Biology, won distinction in his student days on the Penn football, basket ball and baseball teams. In recent years Coach Hawk has trained and developed strong Academy basket ball teams. His 1916-1917 team proved to be the best up to the present time. Because of his success with Academy athletics he was secured to coach the College team for the season of 1917-1918. The season's record demon- strates his knowledge of the game in col- lege circles as well as in secondary schools and it proves that he is a capable and worthy leader of Penn's athletes. v i 4 4. Henry B. Bogue, a member of the class of '18, who has represented Penn on various athletic teams for the past four years, was secured to coach the Academy basket ball team for the season of 1917-1918. Bogue's record is evidence of his ability as an ath- lete and the fact that he was the captain of Penn's most successful football team proves he is a leader. As captain of the football team and coach of the Academy basket ball team, Bogue contributed much toward establishing the record- No Penn team defeated on home field -during the school year of 1917-1918. -K, Q: 'l'l-Ili Qllklililli i -I amzd LZI if INw-,main'.f.-Q-ffgQ.s:-a1fq.'Y Q.1f Q -14.1-K , A .H . , yt .

THE SEASON Penn finished her first basketball season in the Iowa Conference near the top of the list, winning six of the ten games played against the stiffest opposition that any Penn basketball team has ever faced. The home games with Simpson, Highland Park and Des Moines will long be remem- bered as bitterly fought and fairly won contests in which the superior work of the Penn athletes clearly outshone that of their opponents. Penn lost only one game on her home floor and met and defeated three teams, Parsons, Des Moines and Highland Park, on their home floor. The team had better support from the student body, townspeople and newspapers than any for- mer Penn team--due to the fact that the team and the coach made good in the fullest meaning of the word.

THE SEASON The basketball team helped to establish the record- No Penn team defeated on home field in 1917-1918 --winning all of their four home games and closing a successful season with six wins out of the nine games played. No team defeated Penn over five points, which is a very remarkable record for any team meeting the class of opposition that is found in the Iowa Conference. The Des lVIoines and Wesleyan games were the most exciting games ever staged on the Penn floor and it was only the superior individual and team work of the Penn huskies that won out in the end. Central, our old time rival, and Des Moines were each beaten twice. Probably no other Penn basketball team came as 'near to winning in every game as the 1918 team and Coach Hawk and his squad of men are to be congratulated for their uniquely successful season.

This year under Captain Fisher and Coach Bogue they have also made good. Starting with but one regular of last year, Capt. Chuck Fisher, they worked hard and we are surely proud of them.

Coach Guthrie used eve1'y means possible to cancel and tri- the meet or postpone it until more favorable weather, but neither the Parsons nor Wesleyan officials would listen to the proposition. As a result all three schools lost valuable track representatives from injuries sustained during the events. In the races and hu1'dles the runners were forced to run in water ankle deep and frequently stumbled and fell, straining muscles and tendons and scratching badly the legs and arms of the unfortunate vic- tims. The field records were diminished considerably by the rain which prevented all the athletes from showing their best ability. Captain Mesner led the Quaker team in placing and the number of points won. A relay team composed of Marshall, McCracken, Woodford and Meiner attended the Drake Relays at Des Moines and although the team ran well in the mile event it found itself in very fast company and failed to place. In a classy little meeting of six of the colleges of the Little Seven conference at Highland Park on May 5, McCracken, by winning second in the two-mile event, and Mesner, by taking second in the broad jump, showed their ability as track artists. In this meet Hester took third in both the.120-yard hurdles and in the pole vault. While the season might have been more successful from the number of points won, much credit is due the men and their coach who during ex- t1'emely bad weather wo1'ked faithfully to make a good record for Penn. The work of Coach Guthrie will not soon be forgotten by those men who had the privilege of working with him during the spring O1 1917. Eirarh, 1518-'19 The season of 1918 started rather slowly but conditions are now much better. Although Penn has lost some of her best track men thru the draft and the reconstruction work she still has a very good track team to repre- sent her. On May 3, the Little Seven track meet was held at Parsons and the Penn team took fourth place. All but two of the boys placed in the events, and we are proud of our 1918 track team. The following men journeyed to Parsons and supported the Gold and Blue: Harold Ferre Edwin Wright Wesley Minear Loyal Thomas Lloyd Parker Dole Macy William Hull fCaptainJ . -ll 1 'l'lAll'I Qlfklilili 1 Q 4 Page 13? 1 41 -K 'l'Hl'l Ql'.kKl'IR f if ACADEMY TRACK TEAM, 1916-'17 Gu thrle Frank l i n u Huck ney McCracken Jessup White Davenport Arahrmg Cflrark, IEIIB-'17 The year 1916-'17 found Academy Athletics at Penn on the boom. Under the able direction of Coach Guthrie and leadership of Captain Jessup the Academy boys developed into a track team which any college would have been pleased to support. ' On May 5 occurred the meet between Oskaloosa High School, Eddy- ville, Simpson Academy, and Penn Academy, and in one of the prettiest meets ever staged on a Penn field Oskaloosa High School succeeded in noseing out the Academy for the honors of the day.

This day, May 24, was one of May's best-bright and beautiful. At 2:00 P. M. the festivities began with a program by the music department in the Friends' Meeting House. When these musical strains ceased, the people gathered outside, and then, like the children of Israel who crossed the Jordan from the place of their wanderings into the Land of Canaan, so the sons and daughters of Old Penn marched under the leadership of the fac- ulty, from our temporary habitation, past the Old Campus, so full of its memories, down the Penn Boulevard and across our Jordan into our Prom- ised Land. There on that beautiful hill overlooking the country for miles about was our New Penn in the process of construction,-the large main building containing the departments of Science, Arts and Letters, and the Administration Hall, which Dr. Case, with a pile of tile as platform, de- scribed to the crowd. Then we moved to the Girls' Dormitory, then only a few feet abovethe ground, and here Mrs. Kelsey pictured the girls in the living rooms of Margaret Fell, Elizabeth Fry, and all the units, and the boys, as wells as girls, in the social parlor. Going on to the heating plant, Dr. Hadley explained how all the campus buildings would be warmed. Professor Stranahan, on the hill northwest of William Penn Hall, told of the Boys' Dormitory that is to beg and, lastly, Professor Stanley desc1'ibed the Boys' Gymnasium of the future. 9 if if PM fr. +4 f'l'll!'l .:A -,Li 4: 1. g 140 1- 4 4 'l'lllC l2liAlil'lR sk 4 All the people then gathered under the trees on that most attractive hill side and ve1'y soon the music was heard and lines of girls in white ap- peared on the scene. While they, kneeling, sang Hail to Our May Day Queen, Helen Dye, with her attendants and flowers, came slowly toward the throne, being showered, as she passed, with May blossoms. Just be- hind the Queen came Chase Conover looking very kingly in his rich car- dinal robe, with his attendants and crown bearers. Before the throne of fresh green foliage Helen knelt and was crowned Queen of the May. Then after pledging herself in song to be true to her loyal subjects, the fairies, came out to do honor to'their fairy queen in the dance of the May- pole. Some Japanese girls, with their fans and large chrysanthemums, appeared in a cleverly worked out drill, then came the jolly shoemakers in their dance, which concluded the afternoon's program. The Japanese booth near with heaps of good things was not hard to find, and sandwiches, pickles and coffee, ice cream and cake, never tasted better than at the close of this perfect day. ..-'-g,. f f' Q P - fa-.. 4 X THE QUAKER -k I' 141 ax 4K'l'llli fuwm-ni: 41 4 41 lluninr Svniree H Say, John, got a dress suit yet? Naw, I haVen't. Why, aren't you going to the Junior Soiree? Yes, sir, that is if I can get the DUDS. I guess we'll have to try Ottumwa next. Everything's rented or borrowed in this town. Must be going to be some swell affair. And, indeed, it was, that Junior Soiree held in the Gymnasium March 17, 1917. Q Our Quaker maidens, usually so demure and simple, looked like verita- ble butterflies as they moved here and there across the large room, yet none the less sweet and beautiful for all the puffs, fluffs and draperies. The men, oh, how distinguished they looked! Such high collars, and even white gloves, vet they appearedC?J quite at ease, and really wore their every day smiles. If anyone wondered if they really could enjoy a formal evening, and if they dared laugh, and just what they would dare to do, there was not a trace of such a fear after that cordial, friendly handshake, and the warm welcome, which the Juniors gave their guests. Very g1'aciously, they re- ceived each newcomer and made him feel perfectly at home in their spa- cious drawing room. Could it really be the old Gym? This room had rugs on the floor, delightful little alcoves, half hidden by ferns, and a fire place that glowed with friendliness and good cheer. There were sofas, rocking chairs, and pillows here and there, too. The Juniors will be 'ai home' to did not stretch things one mite. Each guest was given a program bright with the American and Irish flags. The boys proceeded to exchange numbers filling their programs for the talks that were to follow. When this was done to the satisfaction of all, the orchestra began the music for the Hrst number. When the music changed the boys sought out the lady whose name was next on their pro- grams. With delightful formality and real merriment the groups con- versed about Spring Fever, Hash Knot all the college club kindj, Dates, and reaching a climax when each one told of his first proposal. The eighth number was the Eats. The fourth year girls delightfully served from St. Patrick trays, each bearing ice cream with a green sham- rock heart, and the daintiest of wafers, each ornamented with green. After one more pleasant talk on Mountain Peaks the guests dispersed, everyone voting the Juniors royal entertainers. This type of entertainment is something new for Penn. We believe it ills a need, for the all-round college student must have a training in the formal as well as the usual, jolly, informal gathering. We believe just this sort of pleasant evenings will help the Penn man and woman to meet every occasion g1'acefully. ,, All thanks to the Green and White for the Junior Soiree. ll ,. -fx.. 4 'rms Qi' Xlilllll -gr 4: Pg 2 Ax 4k'l'iHf1 lil' XIQICIC K sk Hume Glnming Home! How that word always thrills, and especially when it's home to our Alma Mater! Other years we have had home coming at Penn College, but the joys of the annual home coming in the year of 1917-'18 far su1'passed the joys of other years. Why? Because there were so many new things to see, and best of all the children were at home 5-by the chil- dren we mean the student body. School was in session on Friday, so of course no one went home for Thanksgiving, but every student's father, mother, sister and brothers came to visit the school and us. The ancient Alumni and the recent Alumni were present, come back to visit our new home. ' The home coming celebration began Wednesday evening before Thanks- giving Day in the form of a big pep-meeting. Each class put on an especial stunt for the purpose of generating pep and with George Clark as mas- ter of ceremonies pep was indeed generated. The Sophomore class staged a funeral with the body of a Freshie as the corpse. The Seniors repro- duced the side-line pep at a former football game, where Duane tried, in vain, to create enthusiasm and really did all the yelling himself. The Freshmen came and played a sham football game as Aristocrats vs. the Hayseeds. The Juniors carried off the honors of the evening by putting on a real moving show-in which Ethel Trueblood, the heroine, was cap- tured by Earle Winslow, the villain, and finally rescued by the hero, Joe Woodford. The Academy furnished entertainment by a dwarf dance and a lively song whose dominating theme was Teach the Teachers. When the stunts were over, Mayor Harold, Art Oppenheimer, Szcretary Kramer, Harlan Meredith and Be1't Vanderwilt told us how glad they were to be there and wished the football fellows and Penn College the best of luck for the next day. Then Prof. Coffin showed some lantern slides of the evolution of Penn, and her former star football players. Thursday morning found our new home full of Visitors, and the chil- dren on hand to take them over the new buildings. In the afternoon everybody attended the football game and let loose the pep stored up from the night before to help the team teach the teachers. Then at 6:30 came the closing feature of the day-the big banquet in the basement of the Friends' Church, so unusually large that the guests outnumbered the plates. When all appetites were sufficiently satisfied our attention was turned to the toast program in which Harlan Meredith, Stacey McCracken, Mrs. Bertrell McClean and other alumni held our interest by their personal reflections, and Miss Grace Votaw read The Wild White Rose in her old time charming manner. Thus the first home coming to the grand new home ended. 41 1 'l'lll'l Ql'.XliICR 41 41 LI' if ll' ll' ll' 11' ll' If 1 ll' 'rms ow Kun 4 up Ellie Svrniur 0112155 lillug, I EI 1 7 The Class of 1917 presented The Passing of the Third Floor Back, a parable by Jerome K. Jerome. It consisted of a prologue, an intermediary act of drama and an epilogue set in the sitting room of a boarding house in Bloomsbury. The prologue discloses eleven people who are making themselves and each other unhappy by allowing free rein to their meanest and most de- spicable traits. A Passer-by of ve1'y gentle nature comes to live in the boarding house. He is the Spirit of Love incarnate and in the intermediary act he wooed each of the boarders in turn to realize his better life. As a result the eleven are shown in the epilogue to be living pleasantly together in an atmosphere of amity and mutual helpfulness, and the Stranger who has shed sweet- ness and light among them passes away as quietly as he appeared, leaving only happiness behind him. - The characters represented in the prologue were: A Satyr A Hussy A Snob A Coward' A Rogue A Slut A Bully A Cad A Cheat A Shrew A Cat A Passer-by The characters in the play: I Joey Wright, bookmaker, Alfred Standing, Christopher Penny, artist, John Whitaker, Major Tompkins, retired, Be1't Vanderwilt 5 Mrs. Tompkins, his wife, Lorena Kelsey g Vivian Tompkins, his daughter, Marie Hull, Jake Samuels, of the city, Howard Marshall, Harry Larkcom, his jackal, Freel Templeton, Miss Kite, unattached, Byril Jones, Mrs. Percival De Hooley, Linnie Steddom 5 Stasia, the slavey, Helen Dye 5 Mrs. Sharpe, the landlady, Hazel Mills, The Third Floor Back, Chase Conover.

Not the least of these is the recital by the Expres- sion Department and the one given in the spring of 1917 was no exception. A good crowd gathered in the auditorium and anxiously awaited the first number which proved to be a piano solo by Rachael Aldrich, Whims, by Schumann. The whimsical manner in which this was played surely por- trayed the mood of the composer. The next number was a reading, The Golden Rule, given by Mildred Haworth. The story was of a lawyer recently elected mayor who was very anxious to secure a certain young lady to sit at the head of his table. Put- ting it to her as a business proposition didn't work so he became desperate and forgot himself so much as to use the magic words which won his case tho he hadn't intended to do it. ul ,Pauline Pavlovna, by Helene Blattner, gave a glimpse of Russian life and showed the strong emotional life underneath the forced calm exterior. While the story was tragic it widened the sympathies of the audience. The music department again furnished a number, a vocal solo by Mary Eves. . Words are inadequate to express the impression of Frappe'd Foot- ball by Lois Clark-one would have to hear her to appreciate a game where all the rules were: to avoid roughness, be careful not to soil the clothes, keep the faces and hands of the players immaculate, hair perfectly smooth and noses powdered. The Man in the Shadow by Hazel Norris gave the life story of the man of the college class who thot he was not a success but showed how successful he had been by being faithful to little duties and how his class- mates recognized it. The violin solo, Viennese Popular Song, Kreisler, by Robert Black, made a very pleasing contrast to the work of the department of Expression. The last part of the program was a short play entitled The Playgoersf' In this Bert Vanderwilt as Master and Helen Hanna as Mistress tried to treat their servants in an ideal way, to give them uplifting and instructive amusement and raise their ideals. But alas! all the servants couldn't understand, and misunderstanding followed misunderstanding until finally with the mistress in tears and the distracted master trying to comfort her, all the servants left except the handy man. The cast was as follows: Master ............................ Bert Vanderwilt Useful Maid ........ ............ R utli Hellings Mistress ................... , ............

The Junior class acted as ushers, and succeeded in comfortably seating most of the arrivals, altho the crowd was so large that many late comers were com- pelled to stand. At last the long procession moved slowly down the aisle and on up to the platform. Ex-President Taft marched at the head with President Edwards, followed by the members of the faculty, all clad in cap and gown. Then came the members of the Penn College Board, and then the Class of 1917-a class of thirty-six members, and one of which Penn is justly proud. Mr. Taft's address was on Our World's Relations. His review of the world events that have led step by step to the point where the United States has become a belligerent in the World war, was an exceedingly clear-cut statement of the developments of the war that dragged this country into it, and the reasons why the United States could not stay out. He reviewed the events from August, 1914, to show how our nation was forced by cir- cumstances not of its own making to enter the war. His closing words were addressed to the members of the graduating class. You are going out, he said, into another phase of the education and preparation for the life you will lead as citizens, with a voice in the designs and the actions of your country. You are doing this in a time of war, a war different from any other in the world's history. It is your duty to try to understand the conditions of the time. It is an hour in which to analyze its reasons. You should know what the war is so that in after life you may carry the consciousness that it has been on our part a just war. This world crisis, he concluded,, is greater than any that has been known in the history of civilization. The moral force of the nation is to be tested. When the United States sits in the council of nations after the fighting is over, we can say to them that we entered the conflict merely to help the world. We sought nothing else. Your lives, moulded as they have been-and more than you may be conscious of--by the war and its meanings are to be influenced by this crisis. Will' you respond? I feel sure you will. The Commencement dinner, which was served in the basement of the Friends Church, immediately followed the exercises in the Auditorium. Every seat was filled, and all present enjoyed the toast-program. Dr. Roberts acted as toastmaster. Commencement Day was, as usual, a time for the meeting and greet- ing of old friends, and the remainder of the day was spent in this most enjoyable way. yi 4 'rm-2 Qitxm-in -yi 41 1' 4 'X 4 'X f' 'mi l'Wiil1LII+ if G 'Wan 4. p :Riv- ' dow: f ,, 1k'!'ill mqxmca: Q, 4, Page 148 41 -K 'Viliil Qliklilflll -K y Eettnrra nnh Entertainments During the past two years Penn College has been, indeed, fortunate 1n securing someof the very best talent for her artists' courses.

The usual custom has been for each society to have a picnic or some function of, their own on the evening of Pledge Day in honor of their new pledges, but this year it was decided that both societies should celebrate together and have just one function. This function was held at the Gymnasium. The plan of the evening's entertainment was cleverly and successfully carried out by representatives from each society. As people reached the Gymnasium, they were told to go to the society halls upstairs and leave their wraps. Then as they came back and went into the main. fioor of the Gymnasium they were each handed a slip of paper upon which was written the name of some well known book. After everyone had arrived, the one in charge of the entertainment announced that the crowd should divide into groups, all those having the name of the same books joining in the same group. Then came a great deal of excitement, for each group was to reproduce a scene from their book. Some tried to remember some scene from their book, which they could give, and others tried to remember if they had even read the book. After they had decided upon the scene to give and had chosen the actors, the next thing was to look for costumes and necessary stage appa- ratus. They all showed their originality and ingenuity and ability to make something out of nothing, to a very remarkable degree. Finally, when everything had been duly discussed and all the costume', etc., were ready, the stunts were called for and presented. Hiawatha showed marked ability especially in the way of costumes, The Last of the Mohicans put forth the most daring feature of the even- ing, Freckles was particularly fine for its staging, The Merchant of Venice was the most d1'amatic of all, and the last, Khaki Bill, was prezented by two people in song and action. . After all these outbursts of dramatic art, everyone, by two's, went to the dining room of the Church, where their eyes were greeted by the sight of tables arranged in the shape of an A and an E. A pretty dining room and artfully arranged tables were not all, however, for soon everyonewas served with oyster soup, crackers and pickles. Then a short, informal toast program followed, with Loyal Thomas as toastmaster. Toasts were given by the following: Duane McCracken expressing the feelings of the Argonaut Societyg next Helene Blattner, expressing the sentiment of Euphemian. John Whitaker and Mr. Lewis spoke from the standpoint of the Alumni. So the frolic ended as all such things have a habit of ending. This function was a fine success and all society feeling was forgotten and every- one just had a good time together. 'lllfl Ql'.XlilCR -K 4 'liix 'P VNC 2.5l'.'xl'Q H1116 +cawsmm cm-gf.

For welded together with memories of old Were the hopes of the future for the Blue and the Gold. Little we thot when the new bell was hung How short the time ere its last chime rung, Or how sad would be that awful day When the old Penn fell, and passed away.

Penn has her share which are never to be forgotten because of their deeper significance to the college and student body. Back in 1860, less than three miles from the present site, Penn College was founded by a band of noble, consecrated, sacrificing Christians. No Pennite fails to feel a reverence -for the memory of this noble band, who started in an unimposing way in a wooden building, our present commodious fireproof Alma Mater. Then came the conquests in intercollegiate activi- ties, such as defeating Drake in football, and winning honors in track and basketball. Perhaps the saddest of our landmarks is the old campus with its mass of ruins from the disastrous fire and its flood of pleasant memories nearly blotted out by the sorrow over the loss of our friends, Harry Oakley and R. H. Williams. The untiring efforts and the sacrifices of the students, faculty and friends in an attempt to save Penn from the flames are mem- ories clear to every one. We feel a reverence for Miss Lewis when we stand among our endless book shelves or before our wonderful art collec- tion, because it was by her supervision they were saved. Then came the whirlwind campaign for funds headed by Dexter and enthusiasm reached its climax on the closing night. Penn's future was assured. The trustees decided to move to the College Hill, a splendid site pro- vided purposely by friends of the college, and as Dr. Case said, the most beautiful and best adapted site for college purposes that could possibly be obtained. . At 7:30 November 1, 1916, they assembled at the Gymnasium. Here a procession formed, headed by twelve youngsters, varying in sizes, carry- ing banners typical of Penn's growth from 1860 to 1916, followed by stu- dents on foot and town friends in cars. The timely arrival of our victorious football team from Central heightened our enthusiasm. At 8:00 o'clock we began the march to our new home, singing and yelling as we went. As we ascended the hill we were greeted by a huge bonfire which could be seen for miles around. Stump speeches were made by Dr. Hadley, G. W. Shock- ley, W. F. Dexter and Ellwood Johnson. After which yells and songs were indulged in to show the joy of every one over Penn's future in her new home. Among the landmarks in Penn's history none will be remembered longer than this one. Penn was at the parting of the ways. To have rebuilt in the slough on the old campus would have been suicide. But she didn't. She chose the open fields, the high points of observation, which is so char- acteristic of our campus on College Hill.

It is an enchanting tale of how a young Ame1'ican girl visiting her sister in London, wishes, on midsummer Eve, that they were all back in the old times, and immediately everybody is taken back 300 years. Acts II and III describe their life in 1603 where everybody is changed from his former estate. Elspeth, the little American girl alone knows that they are all dreaming. In act IV they return to the present time and the London studio where the action opened. Just as the clock .strikes twelve on Midsummer Eve the tangles in the various lives are untangled and all ends happily. Over the whole play hovers the shadow of tragedy and thru it runs the theme that what we sow we reap and though the reckoning .ingers there comes a day when each man pays his shot. The lines are :leverly written and the delicate play of humor and the fanciful conception Jf the play suggests Barrie. Helen Hanna gave a delightful interpretation of Elspeth, the little American girl who wished them all back into the enchanting past. Eva Marshall as Black Malena was convincing and forcible in the dramatic :ole of the gypsy maid. Nellie Frush gave a most sympathetic interpre- tation of Mistress Tylney, the wronged wife of Lord Strangevon. In Acts II and III Jessie Lemmon as Nora Gillaw, the Irish maid, sets the atmosphere of the play when she warns them repeatedly that wishes wished on Midsummer Eve come true and last long-year long, aye till Midsummer Eve comes again. Dolly, maid to Lady Elspeth, was Well pre- sented by Helen Johnson. Roy Woods shadowed by something dark in his far past, and as the cold and unrelenting Lord Strangevon in Acts II and III presented well a difficult role which included some of the dramatic situ- ations in the play. Mildred Haworth, as Goody Phelps, keeper of the Red Swan Inn, and Thompkins, her handy man, were inimitable in their diffi- :ult roles of providing merriment for the entire action. The minor parts .n the sense of the number of lines spoken were not minor in the impor- :ance of their relation to the action of the story. These parts were well taken care of by Perry Kissick, Myron Hayes and Walter Byers, as Stran- gevon's men and-Williams as the Vicar added much to the success of the whole play. The parts of Reformado Jack and Will Wi' the Feather, two young bucks of the seventeenth centu1'y who tramp the road for the pure .ove of adventure, were well taken by Henry Bogue and Dole Macy re- spectively. The love stories of Jack and the Lady Elspeth, and Will and the gypsy maid, give to the play- the atmosphere of old romance and ad- venture which the open road suggests to us all. The play ends with a char- acteristic bit of humor when Elspeth announces to her amazed Aunt that :mer engagement to Jack, whom she has met only twenty minutes before, .s not so sudden after all, for they have been engaged three hundred years! 4 4 'l'l-llfl mix tum 4 +1 I' 4' ll' ll' lf If 3... in Pan iq.

The city editor of the Quaker immediately sent out one of his cub reporters to go over the case and send the report. The city ed- itor has these facts before him as told by the many persons who knew of the affair. The real cause of the episode was the attempt of the Sophs to get even because of their snipe hunt failure, which happened a few weeks before. Two of the members, Weenie Jones and Dickey Dick- son, thought it a brilliant plan to go to the Freshmen party. Learning it was to be a mask party, they, by means of the telephone, made dates with two of the Freshmen maidens. Jones, using the name of Broyles and attired as a modest farmer's wife, rang the door bell precisely at seven o'clock. He found his lady ready to go and also eager to talk about the mean old Sophs, which her noble escort promptly seconded. They ar- rived at Conover's in a brief time and Jones, alias Broyles, immediately secluded himself in a dark and cozy corner and enjoyed the fun of the Freshies Finally Biffy Lee, and his wife, the chaperons, sat down be- side him and Broyles unfolded his secret to Lee. At the Coach's laugh the farmer's wife shuffled out of the room to get some fresh air but Lo! the front way was blocked by some of the best football men of the Freshie class so she went slowly out of the back door, gradually gaining speed, as the green Hy netting strips that hung on Conover's fence the next morn- ing testified. In the meantime Dickson was having troubles of his own. He proceeded to a residence on North C street, rang the bell and the door was opened by a masked lady who hesitated a little about going, but finally consented, and they soon arrived at Conover's. There the most tragic thing happened, something that the Jones-Dickson company had not thought of. Dickson in his make-up wore an old coat which he had worn at football all that cold week. The Freshies spotted him but Dickey got a hunch that he had better move on so he did and once out of the door he soon outdistanced his followers.

Not so at the Freshies' party, for after they had gathered and un- xl- masked on the roof of the old house on K avenue and Market street, 'Biffy Lee innocently asked Where is Chester Jones? Then they won- dered all evening how it happened. About eleven-thirty both parties broke .ip and Sophs went home smiling, proud of their improved method of nazing the Freshmen.
