The CAMPUS Over the Campus In Davjs Gone Bcj RECITATION HALL Was the second building on the campus. At the present time it holds half of the daily classes and the college offices, tot. WITTKXB ERG COLLEGE had a date as a forerunner to tell of its coming and that was May 12, 1812. the birthday of Rev. Ezra Keller. After the Rev. Keller was graduated from Gettysburg, Pa„ college, he came to the re- gion of Ohio. Indiana, and Illinois as an itinerant missionary. The synodical conference of the Lutheran church held in Washington. Guernsey county. Ohio, in 1842. passed a resolution which provided for the establishment of a Lutheran educational institution in the state. On March 11. 1845. the state of Ohio granted a charter for a college which was to he named after Wittenberg in Germany. So over the hills on a long and tedious journey came the itinerant mis- sionary to Ohio from his Pennsylvania home. With him he brought an old trunk and a walking stick which are now in the possession of the college along with an old diary, the chronicle of Dr. Keller's early experiences. Dr. Keller had wandered almost to Indiana when he reached Springfield, and. journeying a mile farther, he sighted a hill covered with trees, elm, ash. sycamore, and ironwood. So much was he taken with the sight that he immediately resolved that here the memorial to his religious sect would be built. Work was begun at once. Six students attended the first classes which were held in the First Lutheran church. Days were very trying for Wittenberg's only professor, loyal and true though lie was, but he kept on patiently with a vision that some day this Wittenberg would be a great school where students would come from afar. By virtue of his efforts Dr. Keller lived that motto, never to be forgotten by her followers, “Having light we pass it on to others.” The construction of the college building, now the central portion of Myers Hall, begun in 1846, was completed two years later. In 1847, the Freshman and Sophomore classes were organized and a professor was added to the ad- ministrative board. The whole campus was a dense forest and there was no direct road to the college. To go to and from Springfield was like picking one's way through dense undergrowth. The nearest road to the col- lege was what is now Limestone street, with a crude bridge spanning Buck creek. A little later on college authorities saw the necessity for a shorter road from the college to the village and with the help of residents built the first bridge over the creek at Fountain avenue. Years after it was replaced by the first iron bridge in this section of the country. Walks to the city were made by students who were com- pelled by the state to work two days without pay each year. In 1852. the students built a foot bridge across Buck creek. City authorities took a notion that it was unsafe, and Dr. I!. F. Prince, having traversed it once while going to town, found it missing on his return. Bridges at that time were so narrow that it was necessary for the male escort to jump off and wade in the water to help the girls across. Dr. Prince says. In 1848, literary societies were started as one of Wittenberg’s outstanding activities. Much enmity there was between them. too. Every Wednesday afternoon these societies met instead of going to school, for. as Dr. Keller said, they were worth as much to the students as two days of study. In 1849. the first college catalogue was published. No student was allowed to matriculate until he was sixteen years of age, the catalogue stated. Two public examinations were given each year and reports were made to parents of the students in regard to their behavior, diligence, and scholarship. Commence- ment day was the third Wednesday in August, and the school session was held between October 7. and the third Wednesday in March. In 1874 it was decided to admit girls to Wittenberg College as well as men, and in 1879. Miss Ella f 1927 WITTENBERG F. R 1 I Page Nine J Geiger was graduated from Wittenberg College, the first co-ed to be graduated in the history of the institution. In the meanwhile, numbers had been increas- ing in the enrollment, and a boys' dormitory was needed, so it was decided to devote the college building to that purpose and to build a new col- lege building. Recitation Hall. It was completed in 188b. After girls began to CARNEGIE SCIENCE HALL Wlicrc all classes in chemistry and the other sciences are to be tauRht until the completion of the New Chemistry building. attend Wittenberg, a dormitor v w a s needed to h o u s e them, so Ferncliflf Hall was completed in 1889. In the same year, the men's glee club was organized at the institu- tion. and the Senior class decided to submit to the student body for official adoption, a combination of college colors, and an official yell. It was during these times that some innocent Freshman would leave Myers Hall by the lower front entrance and receive as a parting token a bucket of water hung over the door or thrown from an up- stairs window. If the drenched Freshman did return to the rooms on the upper floors lie found upper classmen too deeply engrossed in their lessons to permit interruption. 1890 marked the building of Keller Hall, then the Seminary building for those young men who were interested in entering the ministry. The Hon. John L. Zimmerman donated the Zimmerman library to the college in 1891. College students used to have fun the same as they do now. The present tug-of-war between the Freshmen and Sophomores was termed the rush. One morning, as was the custom, the Sophomores were all out of town, having spent the night in some place known only to themselves, and Freshmen were very conspicuous about the campus. Boldly they hung the Sophomore dummy in plain view in a big elm tree. The Freshmen girls, to be obliging, as is still their custom, brought the Freshmen warriors their breakfast, and such a breakfast as it was—a few runty apples and some hard biscuits. Suddenly the Freshmen co-eds decided that it would be clever to capture a Sophomore girl, and so they did. until her fellow classmates sent a detachment to her rescue. So that was the first and last rush ever held between the girls of the two classes. I)r. Prince was one of Wittenberg’s popular professors at the time, and the joke is still told, that once when he was lecturing to his Bible class on the Egyptian plague of frogs, a student asked very in- telligently if that was the origin of frogs. After 1907. would-be scientists at Wittenberg were given the best of opportunities, for the Carnegie Science Hall was then completed, and many scientific students had begun to work in the new laboratories. Freshmen, by this time, received their full share of probation, and one poor fellow, believing it to be his lady's birthday, because some serious Seniors told him that the tale was true beyond a doubt, bought her two pounds of chocolates. Yes. even when chocolates were rare! The Wittenberg Torch made its appearance at Wittenberg under the influence of K. G. Lind, now director of publicity of Wittenberg. The first Dorm initiation in 1914, was a clever one, somewhat resembling the method used today by the dignitaries of Myers Hall. Numerals were painted on the backs of the prep's pajamas and a band was organized from a goodly number. Instead of being contented with going to Ferncliflf Hall as they do now. to be sure, they paid a stately and dignified call at the homes of Dean Shatzer and President Heckert. Better discipline in college work came to be the plea of many Wittenberg professors, so they got together and proposed a remedy, which is still one dreaded today. They decided to check up on absences so as to increase attendance at class. Every Commencement Day. but one. in the history of the col- lege, Seniors have received really and truly diplomas engraved on the proverbial sheepskin, but in June. 1914. sheepskin could not be secured so to the stately, dignified JHE WALK class in cap and gown, blank rolls of . . . .... . , Trod a thousand or more times paper, decked 111 large satin bows. daily.

Freshmen today would be glad it they had been at Wittenberg years ago. instead of now, ior then the Sophomores, too. had to wear hats to distinguish them from the lofty upperclassmen. Said some student poet when asked to describe Myers Hall: “The optimist sees a dorm: the pessimist a barn.’' Fifteen years ago, students had to revolt to get a vacation on Washington’s birth- ZIMMERMAN LIBRARY day. Only a few city students came to classes and pro- fessors were amazed to find nothing but empty chairs in the classrooms. Provision was made for prospective ministers. I lamina Divinity Hall was completed in 1915. and sem- inary classes have been held in the building henceforth. Keller Hall was used from then on for a sem- inary dormitory. Today, when Ferncliff co-eds arc late to meals, they are usually excused. Several years ago some few residents of the hall decided that it was permissible to enter the dining room at almost any time, so they tried entering twenty minutes late so often that it became a nuisance. Imagine their surprise when they came down to the dining room only five minutes late and found it locked. The Euterpea Literary Society gave the first play ever given by women at Wittenberg in 1916. Tricks that are played today may be good ones, but not many are equal to that which a Senior played on some haughty Sophomore when he presented him a mysterious bundle, on a date. His friends gathered around to admire. He opened it. It was his night shirt. The feature at the formal opening of Myers Hall in 1916, was the presentation to the college of an old cane and a diary of Dr. Keller’s by Dr. Greenawalt. Other side lights on Wittenberg's past history are interesting. Dr. Charles G. Hcckcrl, sixth president of Wittenberg, will long be remembered as a member of the charter committee, which thirteen years ago fashioned the present city government of Springfield. The first home of Wittenberg College was the east part of the present Myers Hall. Here the students lived and had their activities. The professors were versatile, for there were few of them, and there were many subjects to cover. Professor Geiger, father of the first Wittenberg co-ed. taught mathematics and natural science. His official survey of the Blue Ridge mountains for the government was the first authentic one to determine the period of their formation. The students thought that the anniversary oi the receipts of the Stroud bequest should be observed as a holiday. The faculty did not agree with them and declared that school should go on as usual. In the morning, Rctitation Hall was crowded with students, eager for something to happen. Who was to be the leader of such a rebellious group? He took his place. Students were quick to follow him. The procession wended out of Recitation Hall and marched around it and back again. The cry of Holiday! Holiday! was heard everywhere. But there was no holiday. Faculty members decreed that the place for those students was in their classes and sent them there. Who could have dared to be the audacious leader of such a crowd? Little did he dream on that day that in May. 1927, he would be president of Wittenberg College. Professors, read and take heed, for winter isn’t far behind. Dr. Samuel Keller, professor of mathematics, always looked at his thermometer as he entered the classroom. If the mercury stayed near the bottom he dismissed his class without further consideration. But if it was high. stay they did. no matter how much they might complain of the cold. To Dr. Keller, the thermom- eter was the final INSIDE THE LIBRARY There is nothing wrong with this picture. It's an every-day occurrence to see co-eds and fellows going to and from the library. This is what they do. while there. [ 1927 WITTENBERGER 1 [ Page Eleven J authority. One morning when he came to class he consulted it and found that it registered freezing. The weather was mild outside, 'twas true, hut classrooms are cold for more reasons than one. when it isn’t proper for them to he. And this one was cold apparently. At any rate Dr. Keller dis- missed the class. After they left, the mercury ascended to the normal position in which the stu- dents had found it before they packed it with ice.

It will re- lieve quite a bit of tension for crowded Space for classes in the scientific division. house was for many years the gymnasium and stood along the western part of the campus. Some stu- dents were even so daring as to attend dances and keg parties in this famed building. Perhaps it is just as well that these «lays are past and gone forever. It L the custom at Wittenberg to plant an oak on the campus at commencement. One year the student who was appointed to get the tree experienced considerable difficulty in getting one to suit his taste. Finally he rode down to Clifton on his bicycle, hoping to find a tree so worthy as to be planted on iiis Alma Mater's campus by his fellow class mates, lie returned triumphant with his little tree. At commencement it was planted with due ceremony, and many were the minds that turned to thoughts of great oaks from little acorns grow. Time passed and the tree didn’t grow into a big oak after all for it was a scrub ash. and it didn’t change a bit. A tardy rule was in force thirty years ago or more. In order to maintain it. Sam Keller, professor of mathematics, locked his door after the bell had rung. One day the late comer was Sam Shaffer. ’94. who. when he found the door locked, took time to push his calling card under the door. Professor Keller, who always appreciated good jokes, considered this a huge one. He took the card, but refused to open the door. A day or so later another student tried the same thing. This time Professor Keller’s strong arm reached out. grabbed him. and threw him into his seat. That tardy rule went the way of others. If you think that Wittenberg co-eds are ruthless and heartless today, you should have come to Wittenberg years ago. Then girls gave men the mitten just the same as they do now. To be sure. I)r. I ,.- F. Prince. Wittenberg’s grand old man, found a petrified mitten under a tree and he is sure that that i just what happened. He is certain that a young lady and gentleman were out under the tree t tlking in early spring and that she must have handed him the mitten. If you have a roommate who is interested in journalism it might be well to suggest that the two of you start a print shop on a small scale. That was done once before at Wittenberg, and the tiny shop grew into one of our largest publishing houses. It is the Funk Wagnalls Co.. which publishes The Literary Digest. When Funk and Wagnalls were but lads in college they roomed together at Myers Hall. They started a little print shop of their own just for experiment’s sake and it grew into a large firm. Wittenberg didn't always have a newspaper. The newspaper used to be a tiny tabloid arrangement, and it was called the Wittcnbergcr. Then K. G. Lind got the idea to found a real newspaper on the campus which would meet the requirements of mod rn journalism, so today we have The Torch. Speaking of journalism and good copy, brings to mind a story about our own “K. G. He was grad- uating. The last issue of the Torch for the year had appeared, and lie was justly proud of it. when some one discovered .some plain cuss” words on the back page. K. G” ran hurriedly through his Porch. Sure enough, there they were. The linotype operator became so tired reading poor copy that lie Net up what he was thinking. Men at Myers Hall used to have hoarding clubs the same as now. But instead of one, there were two. They were dubbed the Saints and Sinners. These clubs were conducted by students who took turns in acting as steward. Cooks were hired from the outside. The fare was simple, but nourishing. Meat was served once a day. butter not at all (at least not by the Saints). Board for the Sinners sometimes cost two dollars and fifty cents a week.

Perhaps it was worn by dancing, perhaps by so much treading to and from classes, when co-eds wanted a place to rest. This was the home of the Kuterpca Literary Society, which i' still a campus organization. Keen after Philo and Excel, organizations for which men worked earnestly, are gone. Kuterpea remained. The Budget was once the comic paper of Wittenberg instead of the Witt. Wittenberg men used to imitate professors at Dorm parties even to their faces. Now Wittenberg co-eds imitate them by dressing like them even to slick sheik hair. Fifty years ago men were rushed as eagerly for literary societies as they arc for fraternities today. During the Civil War. the students, who numbered 160. responded so well that they won the com- mendation of the government. Some of them served for three months, while others served from one to three years. The physical side of the college activities of the early days occupied a different position and per- formed a widely different function from the present day athletics. One could scarcely call his student recreation athletics. In the morning before classes the students took walks until the hour for the first recitation, which was nine o’clock. After classes at four in the afternoon, the entire school was allowed to participate in football. There were no co-eds in the school at the time. In the early days of Wittenberg history all students were assessed a poll tax of two dollars road repair, or had to work on the highways two days out of each year. Wittenberg avenue was then a private drive leading to the creek, and the supervisor graciously granted the students permission to cancel their obligation by repairing the roadway. One of Wittenberg’s presidents was Dr. Ort. There are probably more stories told about him than about any of Wittenberg’s presidents. One of Dr. Ort’s favorite stories was the one about the wagon. In the days when the Dorm was lighted by lanterns each evening at dusk. Dr. Ort was proctor. There was a student who drove a big farm wagon laden with supplies from his home in Drake, county. The college fellows liked this wagon so they took it apart and carried it up the front steps to the second fl )or. They had to be quiet when they entered the building so they would not disturb Dr. Ort. Off came their boots in the darkened hall. One had trouble taking his off so he whispered to another who was standing near to hold him while he removed them. The other complied in silence. The next morning he found out that Dr. Ort was the obliging benefactor of the interesting occasion. DR. B. F. PRINCE Laying the cornerstone ot the New Blair Hall. This ceremony was held during the first week of school this year. Five men made up the fac- ulty during the period of the Civil War. Dr. Sprecher was president: Dr. Geiger had [ 19 2 7 WITT F. N B F. R G E R Page Thirteen charge of the mathematics and science; Prof. Diehl taught ancient languages; Prof. Isaac Sprecher was principal of the Academy, and Mr. George Sprecher gave Dr. Prince his first Latin lessons. The college grounds extended south to the cliffs which arc now Cliff Park. A few houses were built north of the creek, and the campus was fenced in because the people of Springfield who pastured their cattle along the creek, were always alert to the possibility of cows making themselves at home on Wittenberg campus.

The actor took his punishment humbly and promised to observe all the rules of the college thereafter. Not long afterwards Dr. Meckert was invited to attend a Dorm party. The actor put on one of his stunts. The scene was Dr. Heckert's office. A student was on the carpet for breaking the same rule the actor had been arraigned for. The actor, himself, took the part of Dr. Meckert, who had the pleasure of seeing himself as others saw him, and of hearing dic- tated every word said at the meeting where lie had acted as judge. At least one man enjoyed the show, and that was Dr. Meckert. Today Springfield and Wittenberg College may be practically identified. Wittenberg since days of mud roads has been an active force in the city. Dr. Ezra Keller chose the wooded hill for a sanctuary of Lutheran education at the time of the Mexican War. believing at the time that he had placed the col- lege well away from the business of the Cumberland road. Hut since then the city and the college have become adjacent. While many other colleges have been disbanded, or have been merged, or taken away, or have lost their spiritual and cultural identity, Wittenberg has been here since 1845. never closing its doors or concluding a year with a financial deficit. This past sound financial policy has budded a founda- tion for the work of the present period of expansion, and. in spite of this, the college has sent away her sons to the Mexican, Civil and World Wars. In the early 90’s quite a stir was made at Wittenberg by the arrival of the son of a distinguished artist at Mvers Mall. It was rumored that he not only inherited his father’s gift as a painter, but was also an expert performer upon the flute. As time went on. and curiosity and expectation had reached their height, this talented young man was announced as flute soloist at a concert to be given at the First Lutheran church. The church was packed for the occasion, and the audience sat breathless when the artist, in faultless evening dress, not then so common in Springfield, came forward to make his bow and professionally toyed with the keys of his instrument while the prelude to his solo was being played upon the piano. The silence of the audience became more and more intense as the introduction neared its end. and and ail expected to be held by the spell of the first liquid, bird-like tone of the flute. But in the awful stillness only a breath—Pf—pff—was heard. The artist glared at his fine accompanist as it she had been at fault. Silence, it possible, grew more silent as the prelude was repeated. Again only—Pf—pff—came forth. Then, blushing crim- son, the artist addressed the audience as follows: “Ladies and gentlemen, you will really have to excuse me this evening. My mouth is entirely devoid of spit.” Probably no audience ever enjoyed a flute solo so much. The artist HAMMA HALL has since made good as a painter, and is at the present time On the far hill to the north. Seat of the classes of Hamma Divinity School. [ 1927 WITTENBERCER | I Page Fourteen J otic of the foremost baritones of America, but we have never heard of his making another public appearance as a flutist. Once Dr. Ort was called out of his seminary class for a long-distance call. One member of the class, to relieve a long wait, went to the front of the room and imitated Dr. Ort’s peculiarly heavy speech, telling the class that they would now have some gymnastic exercises, lie opened all the win- dows and went back to the professor's place, where he started the exercises by standing on his head on the desk. Dr. Ort came back sooner than was an- ticipated and found him in this inverted position. He, fold- ing his arms, and regarding him for a moment. FERNCLIFF HALL Wittenberg' new modern dor- mitory for women. I the most popular place on the campus during the early part of every evening. while the rest of the class broke out in one mighty roar, said: Well, are you getting top-heavy? Sherwood Anderson, famous Xew York novelist, is proud to claim Wittenberg for his Alma Mater. He was here only a year, but he took a taxi across New York City to tell a friend that Wittenberg had won a football game. That's loyalty! Last year he came back to the old school. His identity was un- known until Dr. John Philip Schneider discovered him down town selecting Wittenberg cards to send to his friends. In the extreme northwest corner of the campus, that corner bounded by Plum and Cecil streets, was once a cemetery. There, several people of the immediate community were buried, but the bodies were afterwards removed to other burial places. Bicycles used to be in vogue on Wittenberg campus. They weren't the modern kind, either; instead, there was a large wheel in iront and a tiny one in the rear. Students had a special aptitude tor them, but not only students were guilty, for even the most dignified professors rode them and thought they were at the pinnacle of celerity, and fewer of them were late to classes than they are now. Wittenberg's first dean of women came here in 1921. The Home Economics department was estab- lished here the same year. Under the regime of such an able leader as Dr. Tulloss, the Zimmerman Library has been doubled in si e. a $100.000 football stadium has been built, a new laboratories building is being constructed, and a new education building. Plans call for a new chapel, gymnasium, fine att building, and several dormitories. Back of all the side lights of Wittenberg College, whether it be humorous or serious, is the sentiment: But in all life's storm and stress. Whate’er we may do. To our Alma Mater dear, We will e’er be true.” KELLER HALL Where the men of the seminary eat. sleep, and study. Is only a few steps from Hamma Hall.

FACULTY F acultij SIDELIGHTS oil the Wittenberg College faculty indeed prove the individuals themselves to be of unusual interest and importance as shown by the fact that one-tenth of the faculty of the col- lege arc found in Who’s Who in America.” I)r. Rees Edgar Tulloss, Wittenberg’s “Prexy, one of the first men listed in the annual volume, since his sojourn at Wittenberg, has started an ex- tensive building campaign and has successfully come through a $365,000 endow- ment drive. Dr. Tulloss has been at Wittenberg since 1920. when he re- turned to his Alma Mater from which he graduated in 1906, to become her guiding hand. Dr. Thomas Bruce Birch, professor of philosophy, has been at Wittenberg for 19 years. He gives lec- tures on psychology and is a contributor to the Psy- chological Clinic and Bib- lical World. Dr. John Oluf Evjen, professor of church his- tory at Mamma Divinity School, is an active mem- ber of the Amcrican-Scan- dinavian foundation, and was for four years presi- dent of the North Dakota State Normal School. He is the author of many the- ological works and books on church history. The latest addition to Who’s Who among the Wittenberg faculty, is Dr. Martin L. Rcymcrt, head of the department of psychology. Dr. Rcymcrt, in only two years' work, has developed a large, mod- ern ly-e |nipped psychological laboratory here. He lectures to many of Springfield’s organizations, and is co-editor of the “Scandinavian Scientific Review.” Dr. Reymert came here in 1925 from the University of Oslo. Norway. Minister, professor, journalist. All three is Dr. Leander S. Kcyser, professor of systematic theology in Mamma Divinity School. His hobby is birds, and he has written several books about our feathered friends and their habits. Dr. Loyal II. Larimer is dean of Mamma Divinity School. Me spends a part of his time in the inter- est of the Young Men’s Literary club, an active Springfield organization, and is widely known as a preacher and platform speaker. Dr. J. L. Neve was born in Germany, but the At- lantic ocean didn’t stop him from coming to Wit- tenberg where he has been professor of symbolics and historical doctrine since 1909. Dr. B. I1'. Prince will soon have completed a his- tory of Wittenberg, also his alma mater. Dr. Prince, professor of his- tory. is by far the oldest member of the college faculty. Although he was 86 in December, he still meets his American His- tory class now as he did years ago. Me is president of the Clark County His- torical Society, and vice- president of a local bank in addition to his office as vice-president of the col- lege. During the last year other Wittenberg profes- sors have been recognized in such a way as to place them in the “Sidelight index. The wilds of Northern Canada were the setting for an expedition of Wit- ten bergers last vacation. Prof, and Mrs. Hugh Raup. Ehrhardt Kunde, Orville Myers, and Harold Stall- smith were the members of the party. They re- turned with specimens of plant and animal life and photographed animals in their native haunts. Prof. Raup is using this material at the University of Pittsburgh, where he is work- ing on his doctor of philosophy degree. Summer vacation was pleasant for Paul Kcyser, junior in Mamma Divinity School. He spent it working with prospective Wittcnbergcrs in his newly appointed position, that of being field sec- recary of Wittenberg College. Dean Ross Miller was granted a leave of ab- sence of two years to do graduate work at Clark University. Rev. B. M.

He refused t-. leave Wittenberg this year to accept a position of national prominence on the executive board of the V. M. C. A., feeling that there was duty attendant to his work at Wittenberg. Played football, debated, belonged to numerous clubs, and was an all A student at Wittenberg College. Now. as Presi- dent of the institution, he has gained a name as one of the leading college ex- ecutives in the United States. As a pastime this year he was generalissimo of the forces of the Spring- field Community 1' u n d. putting across a drive for practically three hundred thousand dollars in short, quick, accurate, concise fashion.

When he isn’t teaching or playing some classical number, for I)r. Pihlblad is a lover of music, and is a member of the newly organized Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, lie writes articles for Social Forces. September brought nine new faculty members to Wittenberg. Leila M. McNeill came from Scot- land to be assistant professor of Fnglish at W it- tenberg. Daniel T. Krauss came as assistant pro- fessor of business administration from the Uni- versity of Chicago. O. Mvking Melius, assistant professor of education, proved to Wittenbcrgers that lie was a staunch radio fan. and soon became program director for the Wittenberg station. W’CSG.. Dr. and Mrs. II. Bishop came to Wittenberg from Smith College to take up work in the psy- chology department. Dr. Bishop's experiments in audition since he came here have been a contri- bution to psychology. Biology students found a live worker in Miss Grace F.. Lippy. To be sure, students interested in that science have a biology club. Miss Lippy will spend the summer teaching gross anatomy at Johns Hopkins University. Pro- fessor John Bennett Ham teaches voice in the school of music since September, and G. Vernon Kelley i' the new assistant professor of public speaking. Dr. A. T. Volwilcr returned this year from the University of Indiana where he has been acting head of the history department. This year a singu- lar honor came to Dr. Volwilcr when Mr'. Benjamin Harrison has selected him from a number of biog- raphers to write the biography of President Har- rison. For the first time she has agreed that the old Harrison collection in the Congressional Library shall be opened for Dr. Volwiler’s inspection. “The Imperial Indian Department” was the name of Dr. Volwiler’s paper which was read before the Illinois Historical Society and later published. Some one has to pass on applications, keep in touch with prospective students, assist in the pub- lication of alumni bulletins, and help to collect pledges which are overdue. That one. is Dorncr L. Keyser. himself a Wittenberger, assistant to Dr. Tulloss. Wittenberg’s faculty is interested in music. This year they have given two concerts for the student body. When Marshall P. Bailey gave a piano re- cital mi Recitation hall, it was the first time that a graduate of the Wittenberg School of Music had played his own compositions before a college audi- ence. Prof. John Bennett Ham also gave a program. Wittenberg’s first exchange student from Ger- many was Dr. Carl Schneider. Leipzig, who is study- ing under Dr. Martin L. Keymert and Dr. Paul H. Heisev. Dr. Schneider is electing courses in Mam- ma Divinity School, too. and spends a great part of his time giving lectures on the psychology of shape and the psychology of religion. When citizens of Springfield wanted a capable man to conduct their community drive, they called on Dr. Tulloss to direct it. to he sure. Prof. Ludwig Kiess. Berlin. Germany, is exchange professor of modern Kuropean history. He came to take the place of Dr. F. K. Kruger, now teaching in Gottingen. Germany. This year Dr. Kiess made his second visit to America. When Dr. Kruger re- returns to school in September he will be the convocation orator, an unusual honor. Prof. Christian Van Riper was chosen to give the convocation address to Wittenberg students this year. Madam Krika von Fhrhardt was once a little girl who lived in a castle on the Rhine. She liked to dress up in long, swishing skirts, and make be- lieve that she was grown up. Now she no longer has to make believe. She teaches French at Wit- tenberg College, and this year gave a series of lec- tures on France to city audiences at the Chamber of Commerce. Four faculty members conducted seminars this year. They arc: Dr. Martin L. Keymert. psychol- ogy: Prof. T. 1C Thompson, business administra- tion; F. II. McNutt, education; and Prof. W. C. Beaver, biology. Dr. Grcenawalt is president of the Board of Trus- tees of the Ocstcrlen Home. Lutheran institution for orphan children. In view of this fact he was chosen to be a member of the Inner Mission Board of the United Lutheran church. K. A.

Members of the junior class unanimously voted to dedicate their year book to Miss Rose Cadwgan. secretary of the faculty. It is the tir� t time in seven years that the annual has been dedicated to a woman. Many side lights on the faculty are never math- known. but the ones we do know point clearly to the iact that faculty members are human—perhaps a little more so than are students.

The steady tream of classes wending their way in and out of the portals i Wittenberg. Freshmen, oh, so long ago Sopho JLjl mores, sometime in the past—Juniors, only last year- Senior.', this year next year and forever, alumnae of their Alma Mater, and the men and women who guide the destinies of the world’s affairs. Years and years ago. in 1924 to he exact, a horde of Freshmen green invaded the city and started out to look for Wittenberg College, situated somewhere in the northern section. After much ado about notiiing. they finally located it. and got passably well settled before things began to happen. The first event of importance to be here recorded is the election of the officers who would lead the unruly mob. Accordingly, the members elected Herman Gilbert as their president. Charlotte Bell as their vice-president. Mary Chryst as their secretary, Harriett Daniels as their treasurer, and Theodore Gray as their sergeaut-at-arms. And then it happened. Oh. such grabbings, chasings, huntings, strappings, and fightings, as there were. Xevcr was there such a vivid impersonation of one bloody mob hunting another. We refer to the annual Frosh-Soph. Fight,” that war-like institution which had yearly marked the advent of a new Freshman class; and. after the night came the morning; and on Tuesday. September IS. the Frosh and Sophs put the lagoon at Snyder Park between them, hung themselves on opposite ends of a sturdy rope stretched across the water and pulled and pulled; and the Freshmen triumphed, dragging the glory-shorn Sophomores through the somewhat icy waters. This victory gave the first year men the right to discard their green top coverings at the end of the first semester, and they began to assume a wee bit of upper- class dignity. When the class returned to the institution in 1925 as Sophomores they again met early to choose their officers. The ballots showed John Miller to be the choice of the class for president. Kathleen Harris for vice-president. Helen Myers for secretary, Richard Heistand for treasurer, and Hugh Miller for ser- geant-at-arms. When the deadly combat again took place, the class was less fortunate. In a fight to the finish at the old pump house, the Freshmen dragged the twcnty-7-cncrs ruthlessly through the muddy mois- ture of Buck Creek, and their Sophomoric pride was somewhat diminished. Returning as Juniors in the Fall of 1926, the class elected the following: John Davey, president: F.rncst Mullcndorc. vice-president; Charlotte Bell, secretary; Claudius Jensen, treasurer: and Milton Trubcy. sergeant-at-arms. They presented Lewis Beach's The Goose Hangs High. at the Fairbanks Theatre on December 14. as their annual play: and Dalton Young and Howell Jones were elected as editor and business manager, respectively, of the Wittcnbcrgcr. following the failure to return to school of the business manager-elect. Walter Kuhn, and the disability of the editor-elect. John Miller. And now the last lap in the history of the class. The final act in the drama of college life for these one hundred thirty-seven dignified Seniors. At the convening of college in September of 1927. the clas chose as their leaders, John Rilling, president: Florence Larrick. vice-president; Mildred Wilson, secre- tary: Fred Otto, treasurer; and Frhardt Kunde as sergeant-at-arms. Then as the final dramatic production of their college careers, the dramatists of the class presented Bradou Thomas' Charley's Aunt. at the Fairbank's Theatre on December 8. 1928.

Skull and Chain Senior Men’s Honorary Society SKULL AND CHAIN, honorary Senior men’s fra- ternity was founded in 1922. on the Wittenberg campus as a means of better recognizing meri- torious activity of men for both scholarship and campus popularity and activity during their four years sojourn at the college. The body is inert dur- ing the major part of the year, confining itself in it- self. and emerging from its respective glories only long enough during the two terms to select by the “Tap” method honorary members for the next year. This “Tap Day ceremony is generally held the early part of May. There are four active members in the organiza- tion, and one honorary faculty member, Dean C. G. Shatzer. The four members are: Joseph Sittler, Lester Crowl, John Rilling, and Gerald Armstrong. All four men have led a very high scholarship life at Wittenberg in addition to participating in a varied field of college activities, and they, in their entirety, represent nearly every activity on the college campus. Sittler and Crowl are varsity inter-collegiate de- baters, of three years standing; both men are active in dramatics, as well as work in the Boost Wittenberg Association, in the college V. M. C. A., and in the Inter-Fraternity Council. Killing is the president of the college Y. M. C. A. of this year and a member of the varsity debate team of the past two years. Armstrong is perhaps the most versatile athlete in the school, holding the cap- taincy of both the football and basketball teams this year, in addition to a place on the baseball team. All three men are members of several honorary groups on the campus. Sittler is president of Blue Key. and a member of Tan Kappa Alpha: Crowl is president of Tan Kappa Alpha; Rilling is a member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, while Armstrong has had the honor of being an all-Ohio selection in both foot- ball and basketball for two years. I •) 2 7 WITTENBERCER ] L Page Thirty J Arrow and Mask Senior Women’s Honorary Society ARROW AND MASK was founded on the Wit- ZA tcnberg College campus in 1923, with the def- inite purpose in mind to develop scholarship standards among all girls at the Lutheran col- lege. In addition to this general aim, the “Found- er’s Day” program, held annually on March 11. is un- der the supervision of the group. “Tap Day. when new members are chosen in a public ceremony on the college campus, is held May 1. Then the members of the group don the white, flowing robes of the or- ganization, cover their faces with a mask of the same color, and from their vantage point on a high plat- form, erected under the spreading limbs of a verdant, foliaged elm. march individually among the students gathered there to witness the ceremony of selecting the new members, picking the honored women. There are four members of the group, in addition to the two honorary faculty members. The students are: Misses Pauline Bushey. Kathryn Baker, Klaine MiddlckautT, and Elizabeth Jencks. Faculty mem- bers arc: Dean Ruth Immcl and Miss Rose Cadwgan. All four of the girls named above have had a high scholarship ranking while in college, in addition to their participation in the generally recognized campus activities. Miss Bushey has served as presi- dent of the college Y. W. C. A., as member of the Student Chest Board, and has participated in several inter-collegiate debate contests, as the most out- standing of her activities. Miss Baker is a member of the Women’s League Council and the Y. W. C. A. cabinet, and very active in other school events. Miss Jencks was general chairman of the Alma Mater Fete of last year, and as president of the Home Kconomics Club, in addition to Y. W. C. A. and Women’s League work, has led a very busy college life. Miss MiddlekautT was the Alma Mater queen of 1926, and was. president of the Women's League Council, and Kuterpea. during the past year.

Till', history of the second in age. dignity and experience of the classes now making lip W ittenberg’s student body, began in a similar fashion to that of the present Senior class. Merely another crew of bewildered freshmen landing in a strange city, wondering what everything was all about, and doing dumb things in general. They were only fresh- men then, but they were destined to do great things. In preparation for these great things, so we are told, organization is extremely important and altogether essential. Accordingly, the class of 1928 met shortly after the opening of the school year of 1925. and choose as its officers, the following of their number: President. Olive limit: vice-president. Albert Dickson: secretary. Lois Simon: treasurer. Rodger Jackson: and sergeant-at-arms. Albert Brant. Twas then that rumors began to be rife concerning the uncanny strength of the powerful sophomore. Kvery time a muscular specimen of masculinity set his foot on the campus with- in view of a freshman, the latter immediately labeled him “Sophomore” and made a mental note of means by which he could be gotten out of the road before the occurrence of the tra- ditional annual conflict. Things began to happen in earnest on the evening of September 25. It was a memorable night for the freshman crowd. If you don’t think so. ask any of the portly Juniors for their candid opinion on the joys of hunting a mob of sophomores who were nowhere in evidence. But take care that you do not rile him over much. It makes a man dan- gerous to recall that a bunch of dizzy sophomores were peacefully sleeping in a haystack near I rbana while he risked countless dangers and hardships in a vain effort to capture their necks. Aye. and the hardships were many. It probably was a hardship to them, but to us the spectacle of one hundred and twenty-five guileless Freshmen draped all over the benches and sprawled all over the floor of the Big Four station under the influence of Morpheus, makes us laugh and laugh. Came morning, and with it a motley mob of freshmen and about thirty-live of the sopho- more tribe put in their appearance at the scene of the encounter. It was in this year alone that the co-eds of the class played their part in the fray. At the first peep of dawn, they trudged bravely out to the Old Pump Mouse, bearing with them coffee by the boilers full, and sandwiches by the “slew, and with these they appeased the appetites of their ravenous classmates. f 1927 WITTENBERCER 1 I Page Thirty-seven J Juniors—Concluded Till' dean of men. being a kind-hearted gentleman and having a real affection for the members of Sophomore ranking, deemed it unwise for a hand-to-hand combat to occur, seeing as how the Freshmen had a four-to-one advantage. So the tug-of-war was the de- ciding event of the morning; and the Freshmen did it again, dragging the upper classmen through the water without any hesitation whatsoever. Thus did they win their right to discard their freshman headgear when the semester should end. The headgear was no longer the traditional green of the first year classman. It was then the present cardinal and cream top- piece which the campus knows as the official freshman decoration. The first social accomplishment of the present Junior class took the form of an all col- lege dance designated as the Freshman Mop. for which the freshman made the arrangements and played the hosts. In the fall of 1926. the first meeting of the class was devoted to reorganization under a new group of officers. This group consisted of Francis Mans, president; William Thompson, vice-president; Geraldine Hoover, secretary; Rodger Jackson, treasurer; and Robert Dun- bar. sergeant-at-arms. It was soon time for the class to again meet in combat with the newly arrived “Frosh.” The seemingly everlasting jinx again took effect, and the “Sophs went down t« defeat lie- fore the energetic first year men. The social event for which the class of 1928 was responsible during this year was the “Sophomore I lop. which furnished an evening of collegiate merriment for the entire popu- lation of the college. Thus we arrive at the point at which the present class of ’28 must cease making history until the arrival of another year, namely, the third year of their activity as a part of Wit- tenberg’s student body. To us. the humble and hardworking chroniclers of this, the record of a year’s happenings at Wittenberg, the period of time now under discussion seems of para- mount importance. F.rc another year has rolled around, perhaps ’twill not seem so. But considering this, you will, perhaps, pardon us for effervescing exceeding much on the doings of the Junior class. 'The balloting for the officers of the class for the 1926-27 school year resulted in the election of the following: Flsie Wetzel, president; Franz Brickman. vice-president: Hazel Mcssimore. secretary; Kdward llamme, treasurer ; and William Leubin, sergeant-at-arms. On February 15. of this year, the dramatists of the class made their initial appearance when they delighted a capacity audience with their presentation of the comedy-farce. Are You a Mason?” The play was presented at the Fairbanks theater under the direction of 1‘rofessor Paul R. Frees, head of the public speaking department. A special committee, com- posed of Kdward llamme, Donald I left. Jean Trout, and Klsie Wetzel, were responsible for the play’s selection. The class elected George Met leary and Rodger Jackson as editor-in-chief and business manager, respectively, of the present Wittenberger. The months of February, March, and April were devoted to the work on the book, during which time a staff of approximately forty members completed the preparations for its publication. According to the annual custom of the Junior class, the Seniors of the college were their guests at the “Junior-Senior From. The dance was held at the Kastern Star Temple on May 27. Cliff Curtner’s orchestra furnished the tunes with which the co-eds and their escorts made the evening a violent jubilee. The committee for the From, included Kdward llamme, George McCleary. Marjorie Scholl, Klsie Wetzel and Lois Simon. Thus the digest of the activities of the class of 1928. 'The class planned and prepared for its program of activities at its meetings which were held semi-monthly. Mere we will leave the members of this class until they return another year to take their places in that position of exaltation which is the ultimate goal of cverv student who enters college. They will be SENIORS! 19 2 7 WITTENB E R C E R 1 Thirty-eight J Pick and Pen Junior Men’s Honorary Society Members of Pick and Pen, shown above, left to right arc: Gerald Bradley, Ralph Bauer, Francis Maus, and Joseph Bullock. PICK AND PEN’, honorary junior men’s society, was founded in 1922 on the Wittenberg college campus as a society for the most outstanding men of the third year class, closely modeling its character after the ideas and ideals prevalent with the organization of “Skull and Chain.” At the present time the members of the group are: Joseph Bullock, Ralph Bauer, Robert Bayless, Francis Maus, Harold Becmon, Oscar Metcalf, and (icrald Bradley. They neces- sarily represent the various activities on the campus, as well as having a high average in scholarship. Bullock is an intercollegiate debater, and has been active in Y. M. C. A. work, in addi- tion to his participation in dramatics; Bauer, is both of basketball and baseball fame; Maus mingles athletics with other campus activities, in addition to being a football man. he being active in the Boost Wittenberg Association, the college Y. M. C. A., and president of the Student Chest Board. Beemon is the president-elect of the college Y. M. C. A. for next year, and is a football man of two years’ experience. Metcalf is active in dramatics and a member of the inter-fraternity council. Bradley is both a football and baseball man. Bayless, besides his duties as editor of the Witt, has had an active career in dramatics. Although the list of activities given above is not fully complete, it shows the varied life on the college campus and the representative men chosen from each activity to be honored by general recognition. Until the junior year at the college there is but little incentive for a man to work in the field of activities other than the hope that some day his work will be recog- nized. when he has attained the rank of an upperclassman. The fraternity still retains its local scope, having like “Skull and Chain” and “Arrow and Mask,” the feeling that true honor for honor’s worth lies better in a local, rather than national affiliation. r 1927 WITTENBERGER 1 L Pago Thirty-nine J Junior Class VELMA ALGEO.

HAVING expounded at length upon the relative virtues, merits and accomplishments of the upper- classmen of Wittenberg’s student body, it now becomes the order of things that we should turn our abilities toward recording the history of our underclassmen. And to be sure, 'tis the Sophs and Froslt of today who will be the Juniors and Seniors of tomorrow. When the luminaries of the Sophomore class first arrived upon the scene of their future struggles, they weren’t luminaries. They were another very interesting act in the Comedy of Errors. an annual feature presented on the college campus during the lirst week of each collegiate year. They really do show surprising dramatic ability at times. But they liked it. after it was all over, and we liked it im- mensely. College really wouldn't be college without Freshmen. Election of officers created for the class the first of the aforementioned luminaries. The class of 1928 chose as their leaders tor the year. Joseph Keyser. president: Anna Lee Engle, vice-president: Mary Catherine Bissinger, secretary, and William Hodge, treasurer. As has happened for years and years in collegiate practices. When Froslt meets Soph soon became the event which received the greatest share of anticipation among the first year men. Oi course the battlers oi '28 knew it was going to happen, too. but the Froslt jinx somewhat dampened their ardor. They felt it in their bones that those Froslt could hang onto a rope better than merited any good for them. It scents to be a habit of Freshmen. On the night preceding the deadly clash, there was, indeed, some excitement. It’s a contagious sort of thing, and excited co-eds ran in and out of their front doors to see who was passing and why. Everybody wanted to go places and see people and do things, and for no particular reason at all. Frosh hunted Soph all night through, but the Sophs didn’t seem to mind. In fact there were very few in evidence, very, very few. It was on this night that an accident occurred which was to change the method of conflict between Sophomores and Freshmen in the future. The injury of two students somewhat curtailed activities for the remainder of the night. The contest took place next morning at the old athletic field back of the Stadium. The Freshmen had quite an edge in weight on the few Sophs who put in their appearance and pulled them across the field without difficulty. The first event marking the new policy of class rivalry was inaugurated when athletic events were scheduled to aid in deciding whether or not the first year men should continue to make the cardinal and cream headgear a part of their daily wearing apparel. The Freshmen won the dash, thus gaining the right to doff the caps at the end of the first semester. The opening of school for the 1926-27 school year saw two hundred and thirty-one Sophomores back to take up their schedules at Wittenberg. The balloting for this year's officers showed Gerald Johnson to be president: Margaret Mengcs, vice-president; Mary Ellen Christopher, secretary; John Pettit, treasurer, and Shelly Grant, sergeant-at-arms. The history of the class for this year records no conflict. It is a thing of the past at Wittenberg, except on very peaceable grounds. Due to a misunderstanding oi dates and a mishap or two. there was no contest of any sort for the first time in the history of the college. Here we leave the 29crs until they return to make more history as upperclassmen. 1927 WITTENBERCER 1 I Page Forty-five J Sophomore Class BESSIE ALBRECHT. LUCY ALDRICH. CARL BALBACH. ROBERT BALDWIN.

Herbert Dryer. Elizabeth Cummings, and William Wilcox. THE history of the youngest of Wittenberg’s family of classes opens in the fall of 1926. when its member' came riding, walking and hopping in four hundred strong to get a taste of this collegiate life that seems to be the mode of the day. Andwhen they found Wittenberg, they got what they were looking for. and set to with vim and vigor to see what was to be seen and do what was to be done. It i true that they were occasionally told that things should be done that really weren’t quite neces- sary but that was quite a while ago. Xo one has any recollections of having made any unnecessary movement' in the past. What with footfall games, rushing around here and there, and being rushed here and there, they got a splendid start tor a lively career at their chosen Alma Mater. When the class of 1930 met for the first time as a body, they elected officers to carry on the business of making the da-s an active group. Those honored were: Herbert Dryer, who was chosen president; Elizabeth Cummings, vice-president; Gretchcn Krcider, secretary: Kenneth Claypool, treasurer, and William Wilcox, sergeant-at-arms. Here the history of the Freshman class has a chapter which has not been included in any other, or perhaps we should say. it lacks a chapter which all the others have included. Namely, the clash of tin- two I rosh and Soph classes was no more. The era of the slap-on-the-wrist combats had dawned. When the supremacy of the two classes was to be decided, cave-man tactics gave way to athletic events. In place of the usual hunt and grab system, the program was scheduled to feature a 100-yard dash, each class entering four men, a broad jump, with the same number of candidates from each class, a four- man team relay, a baseball throw and a tug-of-war. The program, under the supervision of Coach Godfrey, Dean Pershing, and a committee of upper classmen from Boost Wittenberg Association, was scheduled for ten o'clock in the morning. The tug- of-war. scheduled as an event to entertain the audience at the Wittenberg-Kent Normal football game. But alas, rain is no respecter of either Freshmen or Sophomores. Being decidedly averse to drench- ing their persons in torrents of moisture, the Sophomores (and, it is rumored the Freshmen, also) voted unanimously for postponement of the struggle. When a breathless audience awaited the outcome of the mighty tug-of-war. they kept on waiting. And there was a very pertinent reason. Nobody could find the rope. Nobody knows to this day what did become of it. There were rumors and rumors, but that was all. there was no rope. Thus it happens that the year of 1926 was peaceful and without strug- gles. as far as Freshmen and Sophomores were concerned. By way of entertainment, the class entertained the rest of the college by staging a Freshman Hop which provided a lively evening for all concerned. 1 hus ends the history of the class of 1930. The events which shall follow are for those who come after us. r 19 2 7 WITTENBERCER 1 I Page Fifty-three J Freshman Class WILLIAM ADAMS. EVELYN ALLEN. MILDRED ALLSHOUSE. GRACE ANGLEBARGER.

WFiTEXBFKC'S SCHOOL OF MCSIC has assumed a new prominence this year, due partially to the trips made by the men’s and women’s glee clubs of the institution, partly to the trip of the orchestra through the territory generally attributed to the Lutheran institution, but to a greater extent to the ethereal waves of the air. upon which, through the agency of WCSO. W ittenberg’s own broadcasting station, members of both the student body and faculty were able to entertain far larger audiences than could have ever gathered together in any auditorium now in existence. An excellent faculty, strengthened by several additions this year, has given the academy a high rank- ing with the national organization of the United Lutheran church in America, a national ranking su- perior to that of any other Lutheran institution, and highly recommended ! v the church authorities as a place for the best study in musical lines. I'our complete technical courses are offered by the school, in piano, voice, violin and organ. Numer- ous other courses are added to till out the curricula. Facilities for study include twenty-two high grade pianos, a new two-manual electro-pneumatic organ in the college chapel, a two-manual practice organ, and a three-manual electro-pneumatic organ in the Music Hall. Repeatedly during the year the faculty give special concerts in the college chapel. Among these was one given by Professor John Bennett Ilam, newly engaged as an instructor of voice, and another by Professor Anton Bjorklund. also a new member of the faculty, who is instructor in violin, and director of the college orchestra and band. hour seniors graduated from the school of music this year. They arc, Luther T. Spaydc, June Km- bree Ridenour, William Hugh Miller and Helen Davis. This is the smallest class ever to graduate from the academy. There were however a total of one hundred and five music students, with twenty-nine men and seventy-six women enrolled. The enrollment as shown by courses and departments is: Piano. 71: organ, 24; violin. 25: voice, 32: history of music, 31 ; theory of music, 46; giving a total of 229, due to names being repeated in the various courses taken by the student. The importance of Wittenberg as a musical center was further shown by the establishment of a chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinionia, national honorary musical fraternity, on the campus. The establish- ment of the group came mostly through the efforts of Professor Frederick Lewis Bach. Professor John Bennett Ham. and Professor Doctor C. T. Pihlblad, the latter two being members of the organization. The departure of Professor DeForrest W. Ingerham to the music school of Ohio University necessi- tated the coming of several new instructors, which included, in addition to Professors Ham and Bjork- lund. Mrs. Alice Rose, now instructor in public school music in addition to studies in voice. Inter-fraternity and inter-sorority group sings are held annually at the College, fostered by the two glee clubs. This year was the first contest staged by the women's groups, but the second one staged by the men. In the latter half of last year Phi Kappa Psi fraternity won the first annual men’s con- f 19 2 7 WITTENBERGER 1 I Rage Sixty-five J Wliat the Newspaper Knew!

Twentij=two Denominations Are Represented at College From the Torch THAT Wittenberg college is a Lutheran institution is not to be questioned, but a little less than half the students enrolled for the 1926-27 school year come from 21 other religious denominations. A recent survey disclosed the fact that of 1,051 students, 610 or 58 percent were Lutherans. This number includes all regular stu- dents enrolled at the academy, college, school of music, and sem- inary for the first semester, not counting 33 part time students in the school of music most of whom are children from the city of Springfield. The 21 denominations compris- ing the enrollment with the num- ber from each follow: Methodist. 145; Presbyterian, 70; Baptist, 33; Christian, 28; United Brethren, 26; Reformed. 17; Congregational. 19; Episcopal. 11; Evangelical. 9; Roman Catholic. 9; Christian Sci- ence. 9; United Presbyterian. 7; Disciples. 6; Brethren in Christ. 5; Church of Christ, 5; Jewish. 4; Federated, 2; Church of God, 2; Mennonitc. 2; Friends, 2; Univer- salis!. 1; no information or no af- filiation, 20. Of the 40 enrolled in the acad- emy, 20 are regular students and 20 are special preparatory stu- dents. From the first number, nine are Lutheran, while 13 of the specials have similar affiliations. The liberal arts college shows an enrollment of 918 divided into four distinct groups. The first year class can boast of the largest class ever enrolled at the Lutheran in- stitution. having 429. The other four divisions grow smaller, sophomores, 218; juniors, 137; seniors, 124. and special students, 10. The registration cards indi- cated that 520 of this entire group were Lutherans. School of music reports show 37 regular enrolled students. 15 indicating themselves as Lutherans. I lamina Divinity school has 52 enrolled, nine seniors. 26 middlers, 12 juniors, and five special stu- dents. All are affiliated with the Lutheran church. Next in order is the school of music with 37 regularly enrolled students, 15 of whom are Lutheran. Although a denominational in- stitution. Wittenberg opens her doors to all denominations and creeds, not attempting to selfish theology but broad academic training. f 1927 WITTENBERCER ] I Page Sixty-six J Special Students and tlie Academvj Students shown above, left to riKht are: Richard Littler. Academy; Robert Remsberg. Academy; Martha McDonald. Academy: Robert Seeger. Special Studen-.; and Paul Kulhcnkamp. Special Student. THERE is a possibility that in the luture the Wittenberg Academy will be completely discontinued, according to the action taken this year by the college fathers, who have decided to devote the new Blair Hall, originally designed as a home for the Academy, to a model school of education, giving to that department the complete facilities offered by the building. The classes of the Academy will still be continued in the old building. The city schools, according to the new arrangement, will be leased four rooms in the new Blair Hall, that was to have been the home of both the academy and the college of education. The students in these four grades will be but primary students, and will be taught by Wittenberg student' in the teach- er’s training course. The action came at a time when the Springfield public schools were very crowded for room space, and. incidentally, were placed in a serious position m regard to the hiring of teachers. The school came as a distinct advantage to both Wittenberg and the city officials as it established a model cbool in which the Wittenberg students will be able to receive practical training, and at the same time serve U' a supply for the local school situation. The two-year normal course requirement was a matter of financial worry for the local school board, while Wittenberg was able to furnish at nominal cost the very thing that was needed. So another institution on the Wittenberg campus will fade from sight. It was founded in 1845 to meet the needs of the time, yet until 192.? could not definitely be said to have bad rooms of its own. During the past year there have been 4. students enrolled: 22 as full fledged academy students, and the remainder as special college preparatory students, and the remainder as special college preparatory students. Included in the complete acadmy roll are Robert Baumgartner. Kenneth Golding. Ralph Har- mon. Jerome Kilt', Robert I.eavitt, Richard Littler. James I.udman, Robert McKenzie. Robert Remsberg.

This list of professions will be increased after 151 students out of the total of 938 have decided upon their life work. Whether teaching is to be taken as a life work by several is not known, but three per cent or 308 indicate their desire to enter the profession. Of this number 234 are women and 74 men. This is a point toward showing that women are providing themselves a means of living, married or otherwise. Records show that 56 Seniors of the 124 enrolled will be eligible for teaching positions next spring. Business follows next in the professions supplying 76 adherents of which all are men but ix. Fresh- men of the college have the greatest desire to enter business, numbering 36 men and one woman. An- other fact is here shown that women are not entering the business professions. Although Mamma Divinity students are not included in this survey, more than the total number enrolled in the seminary arc expecting to enter the school upon graduation. Fifty-two students are in the seminary, while 62 arc preparing in the college for ministerial work. This does not include the eight preparing for mission work who will probably spend some time in the school also. Medicine follows close in order by attracting 47. while law has 40. of which all are men but one. En- gineering comes sixth in prominence with 37 followers. Thirty-four musicians does not include a com- plete survey of the School of Music. Dentistry holds quite an attraction for the Freshmen as 14 will take to dentifrice work. Electrical engineering and social service follow closely with 16 and 13, respectively, the latter being entirely composed of women. Journalists and librarians are 10 and 9 with half of the former coming from the first year class. Other professions not listed above are here given: Accounting, three: eight; art. five, all women; agriculture, two: banking, two: broker, one; chemical engineers, twelve; coach- ing. ten; dairying, one; diplomatic service, one; dramatic art. one: Has Ani)one Seen Mij Ketj?

I he course of instruction covers a period of three years, during which time the student receives not only theoretical training hut actual practice work. One of the new systems in- augurated this year for the first time is the method of allowing each middler at the institution to spend a ten-day period working in the charge of an established pastor. During this period the student is allowed to make calls with the pastor, to lead prayer services, and to preach one sermon. N'ext year, for the first time, the seminary will inaugurate the European study plan. This will mean that there will not be any definitely organized classes. Each student will be assigned to several instruc- tors and will be allowed complete freedom in the preparation of his work. 1927 WITTENBERGER 1 I Rorc Sixty-nine J Mamma Divinitij School Middlers Bishop.

He’s more than a professor; lie is a minister and student, and takes work and teaches in two different theological seminaries. This man is the Rev. Henry C. Offerman. acting professor of New Testament and criticism at Mamma Divinity school, who includes all this in one week's program. In fact, lie is a preacher, teacher and stu- dent all at the same time. Kach Friday afternoon Rev. Of- ferman hoards the New York Cen- tral liver at the local station for New York city and in less than 16 hours is walking about the Bowery. This is the location of I)r. G. U.

He has been the special pastor of this congrega- tion since May. On Sunday evening. Rev. Offerman i' generally found in some Lutheran church in greater New York, helping out wherever needed. As a student, he reports to the Union Theological seminary Mon- day morning and for two hours sits in a New Testament lecture class. This is his fourth year to he en- rolled as a student at this semi- nary. By Monday noon duties of a stu- dent and a pastor are over for an- other week, and attention is then turned to the role as a teacher. With the same train waiting, conductors, hrakeman and porters alike, who stopped in New York over the week-end. Rev. Offerman starts for Ohio Monday afternoon. Books are produced and intensive study is begun in preparation for the 11 o’clock class of juniors in I lamina Divinity school Tuesday morning. Rev. Offerman is a graduate of Haverford college, and of Mt. Airy Theological seminary, received a master of arts degree from Prince- ton and is at the present time a can- didate for a doctor of philosophy degree from Columbia university. He is a Phi Beta Kappa man and has passed the Rhodes scholarship examination successfully. For the past ten years Rev. Of- ferman has been a successful minis- ter. serving three pastorates in this period. His first congregation was in Brooklyn which ranked the ninth largest Lutheran church in America and had the largest men’s brother- hood in the United Lutheran Church. The second was in Ameri- ca’s Switzerland near Philadelphia. Named Dean Prof. K. E.

A re- cent survey reveals that one out of every four male students en- rolled in Mamma Divinity school are married. How much will this number be increased five years from now? Total enrollment at the seminary is 52. two less than last year. Of the nine seniors, two have entered the marriage lists, while I I of the 26 middlers have heard the love call.

Where men learn to fraternize in their own respective fraternal organ- izations; where they learn to meet and know men from other institutions; where they gain a perspective of life that is far more beneficial than a mere nose-in-the-book existence. W hat is more sweet than the hearty grip oi a brother, though brother he may be only by group adoption? What is more sweet than association with those who feel an interest in you because your every action affects their life as well as your own? Some critics say that fraternities and sororities should be abolished, hut few schools have a tendency to re- move them, the very life root of campus activity, from their existence. The gentle murmur of the swashing wind through a verdant, foliage laden campus; the stealthy move of bodies: careening over green turf, the gentle hum of a tune; then the swell of musically, clear, whole- some notes—under the window of a sorority house—they cannot pass—memories. The walk through the vales surrounding the majestic towers; the life personified by your side; the call oi another across the verdant path. Memories and friendships, found in a small hamlet oi a thou- sand of a kindred souls. Fraternity life at Wittenberg is full of mixed emotions. When the Reverend Ivzra Keller, plodding his way westward, striving to find a place where he might found a college that would primarily be a religious institution, little could he have dreamed, or ever, hoped to aspire that the little institution that lie did establish on the knotty pasture land a mile to the north of Springfield would some day blossom forth as a large, rapidly, though con- servatively expanding institution, with men (for men. and men only, in those bygone days, were allowed entrance) living in small fraternal colonies on the edge of the campus, enjoy- ing while they were in college (matriculating for solid knowl- edge) the sweetness of home life, with all the joys, tribulations and sorrows connected with brotherhood. “Parting Song,” of Chi Omega See our banner proudly streaming.

Keller could have thought, or would have thought, if today, also, he were alive to view the fraternal colony of women built by the ever-aspiring hands of co-eds. allowed to enter with men the sacred portals of learning for the first time in 1874. In the day of Dr. Keller the fraternity was practically in its infancy. To he sere it is an established fact that the first Greek letter society had been established in 1776, an era known for two of the greatest things in American college life: Firstly, the Declaration of Inde- pendence that foretold the freeing of America from Kng- lisli maternal bonds, and paved the way for a free-think- ing. free-loving, aspirant nation, that built from the basic foundation the very lives of its people: and. second, the establishment of a fraternal system that ultimately, at the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of American col- lege life, hound together not only mere, small local groups of men and women l� v fraternal bonds, but also the entire college population of the country, due to the magnificent and well managed national expansion policy of a majority of the largest and best of the earliest organized associations. Today, as an outgrowth of this generally approved movement. Wittenberg College can review the founding of seventeen Greek letter fraternities, ten of them for men. on the campus; while two other associations, the Brotherhood Sadhc Aleph and the Dorm League, complete the list of men’s groups. In addition to the seven women’s Greek letter organizations on the campus there is a Hebrew letter society, Beth Avin, in addition to Fcrncliff League, the largest society. Wittenberg can lay claim to several of the oldest estab- lished national fraternities in addition to several of the most aged sororities, though they have come into existence only recently, due to the co-ed’s late entrance into general college life throughout the country. The first Greek letter society, as has been explained before, was organized in 1776. It was Phi Beta Kappa, organized at William and Mary College, at Williamsburg. Ya. It combined social and literary life, and held frequent and regular meetings. In 1779, it established chapters at Yale and Harvard, but the next year, due to the ravages of the Revolutionary War. which wrecked many of the buildings on its grounds, was forced to cease operations. Today, it is purely an honorary society. Kappa Alpha originated at the University of North Carolina in 1812. while several local groups made their ap- pearance on tlie Yale and North Carolina campuses the next year. At this same time another class of organizations sprung up. but they, as their name partially discloses, were interested only in the arts, debates and literary sub- jects. The groups called themselves either Hertnosians, or by another highsounding name like Philo- technian. They had absolutely no social advantages. The next national groups to organize were at Union College, and due to the foundation of three groups at this particular institution, were known as the “Union triad.” They were: Kappa Alpha, rc- Tau Delta Theta Tau Delta Theta, I low dear to us thou art.

Sigma Phi pioneered and established the first branch of its organization at New York University, which practically caused one year later, the founding of Alpha Delta Phi at the same institution. Psi L'psilon was founded at Union College in 1833. and existed in an intense rivalry with Delta Upsilon fra- ternity. then called the Social Fraternity. In 1837. the Mystical Seven Fraternity, since absorbed by Beta Theta Pi, originated at Wesleyan. It was Greek in everything but name. It is then that Alpha Delta Phi’s second chapter was established at Miami Uni- versity in 1835. Beta Theta Pi then followed by organizing a chapter at Miami in 1839, having the honor to be the first organiza- tion founded west of the Alleghenies. This is the oldest national fraternity established on the Wittenberg College campus. In 1848. Phi Gamma Delta, which also has been established on the Lutheran campus, was established at Washington and Jefferson. Phi Kappa Psi originated at Washington and Jefferson in 1852. During the Civil War in every section fraternity life suffered a relapse. There was little organization carried on. suspended, while Theta Xi. founded in 1864, at the Rensseler Polytechnic Institute, was the only fraternity originating in the North. However, as soon as the conflict subsided, more fraternities were created, particularly in the South. Our Jewels,” of Alpha Tau Omega There are some who praise the diamond’s blaze, and the ruby's blood red hue; While others praise the opal's rays, or the sap- phire's deep, clear blue; There arc those who delight in the topaz bright, or the pearl with its quiet lustre; But brighter by far is each radiant star that we set in thy glorious cluster! Oh. Alpha Tau Omega. Our hearts are ever thine— We set them as the jewels— In the Maltese Cross to shine; To thee we pledge allegiance. Our service true and bold— And ever we'll be loyal To the Azure and the Gold. In the South the movement was practically where Alpha Tau Omega had the distinction of being the first to be born, in 1865. at the Virginia Military Institute. Pi Kappa Alpha was the last of this war-time group to be formed, giving birth to its organization in 1867. at the University of Virginia. The establishment of Phi Delta Theta, the only national fraternity to die on the Wittenberg College campus due to anti-fraternity legislation, took place at Miami University in 1839, following the founding of Beta Theta Pi several months earlier. It is not particularly difficult to trace the growth of fraternalism in the ranks of the college co-ed.

Chi Omega, originating at the Uni- versity of Arkansas, was one of the first formed oi the present groups on the Wittenberg College campus. This national founding was in 1895. There is some dispute con- cerning the right of Alpha Delta Pi to be ranked as the oldest sorority, but facts in the case show the organization of the sisterhood to have been in 1851. at Wesleyan Female College, called then the Adelphcan Literary Society, but it was not until 1904 that it became known as the Alpha chapter of the sorority and the policy of national expansion adopted. Alpha Xi Delta was founded at Lombard College in 1893, two years before Chi Omega, while Sigma Kappa Phi’s Hymn to Alma Mater Oh, how wc love fair Kappa Phi and Alma Mater dear!

Greek fraternity life on the Lutheran campus is interesting to trace. I’lti Kappa Psi fraternity was the lir t organization to establish a permanent chapter on the campus in 1866: followed closely, in the next year by Beta Theta Pi. Phi Delta Theta, the first Greek letter group to invade Wittenberg, founded in 1852. was made extinct by anti-fraternity rulings by the college authorities. It was not until 1882 that another organization came to Wittenberg. Then Alpha Tau Omega es- tablished a chapter, followed the next year by Phi Gamma Delta. The next organizations to appear were in the form of women's organizations. Tau Delta Theta, a local sorority being formed in 1902. and Alpha Xi Delta establishing a national chapter here in 1904. Sigma Phi Kpsilon, the fifth men’s organization, ap- peared in 1905, but was discontinued in 1907. It had seven charter members. In 1913. Alpha Delta Pi established a chapter here, followed by the formation of Theta Gamma Rho. a local women's fraternity, in 1915. eta Alpha, a local, that had been practically granted a charter by Sigma Chi, dropped out of existence two years after its foundation in 1916, due to the ravages oi the World War. Kappa Phi Kappa, which changed its name in 1924 to Kappa Phi. in order to avoid confusion of names with the honorary educational fraternity which had been established on the campus, was founded in 1922.

It is hoped that this fine relationship will continue to exist in the years that are to be. Sigma Sigma Omicron Out on the campus Ling’ring falls the? shining moon.

Rush seasons, with its disappointments, and still its joys, is chock full of real life, and the average collegian finds in the competition offered a sense oi fun. Every fraternal group on the campus has a home. All but a few own them. Particular in the mention of homes is the thought that Phi Gamma Delta moved into a newly remodeled home this year, the first time that one of the men's national bodies has changed its situation for more than a decade. It i' a magnificent structure, and typifies that result of the steady growth of Wittenberg college, in that the old home was not large enough to house the larger number of men arriving at the college for matric- ulation.

For wc all belong In their early days fraternities were most generally classi- lo thc ,hcli Gam' fied according to their place of origin, such as Faster:-., Western, and Southern, but today, in the col- legiate world, this classification is practically passe. The only groups based on the geographical dis- tribution of the several chapters of the fraternities which can now be properly made, is to divide the fraternities into national fraternities and sectional fraternities. So. according to the dictates of Baird's Manual, which is orthodox, as each and every association admits, as the final word in Greek fellowship, the national fraternities, representing those found in every section of the country include. Beta Theta Pi. Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Alpha Fpsilon. Alpha Fpsilon, Sigma Chi. Kappa Sigma, Phi Kappa Psi. Delta Tau Delta, Phi Gamma Delta, and Alpha Chi Alpha. “The sectional fraternities.” states this authority, “are Fast- ern and Southern. The Fastern group consists of Alpha Delta Phi. Delta Phi. Theta Delta Chi, Sigma Phi. Psi Up- silon. Kappa Alpha (northern). Delta Psi. and Alpha Chi Rho. Thc Southern group includes Kappa Alpha. Pi Kappa Phi, and Pi Kappa Alpha, although this last mentioned fraternity has placed its most recent chapters in the North.” It further states that Alpha Tau Omega, organized as a Southern fra- ternity. has completely lost that character. Wittenberg is almost unique in the fact that she is repre- sentative of every group, having both national and sectional fraternities. There is a possibility that other national organizations may place chapters on the Wittenberg campus, but even if they do there will never be more romantic days than those of thc past and present when the few organizations gave life, color and spirit to the campus. There are many who glory in telling of the days of yore when the groups were first allowed charters by the college authorities. They tell of the time when rivalry was real, and jealously in- tense. Thc most sacred thing that the fraternity possessed, the ritual, was not safe from prying, stealing hands. Everything was fair. It was not love, but plain war.

Fraternity then did not mean a clique, but an association of kindred souls. Sitting beside the fireside on a rainy day. or on a cold, frosty day in winter, it is interesting to listen to the stories of these days at Wittenberg. Kvery group house has its representation on the faculty; every group its alumni. Now they are men of standing. They frown on many of the frivolities of youth, but down deep in their hearts they love to tell of the days of yore, when as true («reeks on the shore of a Grecian land they rolled empty beer kegs down Library hill, down so far into the glen that the rolling momentum carried it up to the Dorm. We will not mention any names, for brotherhood means too much, far too much, to exploit the names of individual men. Hut here we have them, on the college campus. They are living our life with us. enjoying as much as we. our pranks.

Each of the six permanently established groups on the campus have two representatives on the coun- cil. usually a senior and a junior. The work of the organization consists mainly of governing rushing” on the campus, as well as organizing inter-fraternitv gatherings. During the past year there has been an inter-fraternity smoker, which was held the first semester at the Arcade hotel, and the annual dance, held this year at the Avalon park. The organization holds its meetings bi-weekly, rotating the place of meeting among the various group houses. The organization is also affiliated with the national inter-fraternity council movement, and annually sends a delegate to the national convention, which is held in New York City. William Sigmund, a Beta representative, was the delegate to the convention held this year. Paul I lift , senior representative from Beta Theta Pi. was the president of the organization during the past year. Other officers and the group they represented included. Dalton Young. Kappa Phi. secre- tary; Walter Steffen. Pi Kappa Alpha, treasurer; and Professor Franklin II. McNutt, faculty representa- tive. Other members included William Beuleke. Phi Gamma Delta; Herbert Jacobs. Phi Kappa Psi; Lester Crowl. Alpha Tau Omega; Oscar Metcalf. Alpha Tan Omega; George Kochnlein. Phi (Lamina Del- ta; Phillip Stephenson.

[ 1927 WITTENBERGER 1 L Page Ninety-three J Campus Apollo Must Be Sans Mustache Co-Eds Declare STORY BY TORCH ILLUSTRATED BY WITT WHAT manner of man is this who stands six feet tall, surpasses Apollo. Adonis and Narcissus in comeliness, dances gracefully, upon occasion plunges through left tackle for ten yards, while for mere diversion’s sake, edits a college publication and leads a debate team through a successful season? It is none other than the Wittenberg co-eds’ ideal man. they declare in a recent query. If you aspire to be a campus Adonis and at the same time are a blonde or a red head, your chances for success lie in the purchase of a supply of Putnam’s black dye. Fashion decrees that man’s hirsute growth shall be decidedly sombre in hue. Not only that, hue he must also be sans mustache. While women were positive in asserting that their ideal was not more than twenty-two. intellectual as Plato, which implied that he was an A student, garterless and collegiately attired, they were equally positive in stating that the man of their dreams drank not. neither did he swear or smoke to excess. Following their natural bent for inconsistency the unmanly sex de- manded a man of docile disposi- tion. and at the same time ex- pected him to be argumentative enough to debate successfully. Not less insistent or less numer- ous were the requests for lusty lungs to play cornet, tuba and sax- aphonc. There were notable exceptions to the rule, one woman intimating that her ideal divided his time be- tween the library and wild parties, another devising a trilogy of mug- ging. football and necking. ’’He needn’t have much money. one co-ed added, ’’and lie doesn't have to go to chapel. He will be as good a man anyway.” Another cynically remarked. An ideal college man? Pooh! There is none. We close with this advice from some forgotten philosopher who said. ‘‘In every woman’s life there are two men, one is her ideal, the other whom she should marry.” You re Wrong Anita—Querij Saijs Gentlemen Prefer Brunettes BY THE TORCH MISTY antiquity relates that Diogenes spent his spare time patrolling the Athenian avenues, lantern in hand, in search of an honest man. If Miss Anita Loos of recent fame is correct in stating that Gentlemen prefer blondes,” Diogenes would search in vain for a gentleman among Wittenberg collegians. This fact is demonstrated in the results of a questionnaire recently circulated among nine men's groups by the Torch. For. while brunettes were polling their twenties, the blonde candidates ex- perienced considerable difficulty in finding one or two admirers. Not less decided was the vote in favor of bobbed hair. Put the masculine mind faltered when it was asked to specify the kind. A few were content to accept the boyish bob. a few would have anything but a boyish bob. while the majority confessed complete ignorance of the styles in tonsorial art. Senior and Sophomore concurred in selecting 20 as the ideal age of the ideal college woman, with the exception of one hopeful who preferred the age of innocence. The following hints to co-eds might be of value: Never swear in public, unless necessary: don’t smoke immoderately, or neck on your first date: if you're sophisticated, don't show it. and keep your in- telligence and frivolity in the background: be athletic if you have to. but not masculine. The demand is greatest for women of docile, gentle, kind, sweet, and sunny, but not Pollvannic dis- positions. Three things men want in moderation. Necking, cosmetics, and a good line. However, as one Senior said: “If you know any like this, send her around.” Put what is mere man that lie should criticize woman and her ways. This sounds good on paper, but just show Joe College a good-looking co-ed—he's found her! I- I ) 2 7 WITTENBERCER 1 I PaK ?

The Pan-Hellenic group was organized with a three-fold purpose: “To foster a spirit of comradeship among all college women, to establish and maintain fine social standards, and to encourage a sense of sportsmanlike conduct. Thus Pan-IIel serves not only the groups represented, but also the entire body of women students, by fostering a more democratic spirit among the different groups as well as among sorority and non-sorority women. The association is organized under the supervision of the customary officers, the various offices ro- tating among the groups included in the membership. The personnel is composed of two representatives from each group, a Junior representative and a Senior representative. The Junior representative be- comes the Senior representative the year following that in which she served as Junior representative, thus giving each member a term of two years in the organization. The officers for this year’s group are: President. Katherine Fritz. Sigma Sigma Omicron : vice-pres- ident. Helen Myers, Theta Gamma Kho; secretary, Charlotte Bell, Tan Delta Theta; treasurer. Klizabeth Hackenberg. Alpha Xi Delta. Membership of Pan-Hellenic is made up of the following representatives: Klizabeth Hackenberg and Louise Richison, Alpha Xi Delta: Helen SchonfeUlt and Charlotte Bell. Tau Delta Theta; Almena Ting- ling and Helen Davis. Alpha Delta Pi; Helen Cadwallader and Catherine Simon. Chi Omega; Ksterka Dav- idson and Katherine Fritz, Sigma Sigma Omicron; Gladys Igou and Margaret Rushy. Chi Delta Omega: Helen Myers and Christine LeFcvrc, Theta Gamma Kho. Under this year’s plan for making Freshman women acquainted with the women of the upper classes. Pan-Hellenic entertained girls of the Freshman class with a tea on the college campus early in the fall. This gave the sorority women an opportunity to become acquainted with the Freshmen, as well as aiding the Freshmen to become adjusted to and acquainted with the school. The Association entertained with a tea dance at the Hotel Shawnee, shortly before the holiday sea- son. The plan of sponsoring a Pan-Hellenic dance was inaugurated last year, and will likely become an annual custom. Miss Ruth Immel. Dean oi Women, and Miss Rose Cadwgan, under whose supervision the preferen- tial bidding system is carried on. are the faculty advisors of the organization. Pan-!

With six years experience in the game and all the necessary paraphernalia he is ready for any job which might come his way. Halverstadt. like all Witten- bergers. finds that spending a few spare moments each day aids ma- terially in increasing one's finan- cial status. He reports that with several jobs already finished, pros- pects seem exceedingly bright for the year. While in high school, he also had a shop in his home. A repair shop of a large jewelry store in Kent was under his charge this summer.

I T IS the Boost Wittenberg Association that sponsors the annual all-college Honor Day banquet, dispenses the Freshman caps, supervises the annual Freshman-Sophomore strug- gle. oversees the election of men’s organizations, supervises the selection of class officers, and each year awards the scholarship cup to the group leading in academic rating. The or- ganization is the only one on the Wittenberg College campus that has a complete representa- tion from all men’s groups. Listed in its membership are representatives from all the male fraternal organizations, and also including the glee club, the orchestra, the seminary, the academy, in addition to the business manager of the college and the dean of men. as faculty advisors. W hen the charter of Blue Key. national booster organization, was granted, Wittenberg College, through the efforts oi the Boost Wittenberg Association last year, both organizations were assumably of the same character, although intrinsically different. Blue Key members were chosen from the men who as Juniors had served one year in the Boost Wittenberg Association, while the members of the asso- ciation proper were approved representatives of the various campus groups. This year, however, the two associations have been completely divorced. Xo longer is the membership of Blue Key dependent on the Boost Wittenberg Association. Both are now governed by separate constitutions. That of Boost W remains the same, while Blue Key has assumed the new attitude that any male member of the student body, after he has become a Junior is eligible to membership in its council. Blue Key from now on will service solely as an advisory body. The Boost Wittenberg Association this year has been unusually active in campus life. Indeed, a review of the entire year would show that it has acomplished practically all of its purposes, which in- clude that of encouraging the attendance at Wittenberg College of the most desirable students, that of fostering the cultivation of a greater school spirit, and that of encouraging any worthy campus enter- prise promoted for the best interests of the school. [ 19 2 7 WITTENBERGER 1 I Paj?c One Flundrcd and Nine J Boost Wittenberg Association The first work of tho association evidenced this year was the general work conducted in the field of athletics, seeing that a proper amount of publicity was given each football game, that the stadium at all home games was adequately decorated, that a band and cheer leaders were provided, and that effective policing of the grounds was carried on by members of the Sophomore class. The program for Dad's Day” was completely in charge of the Boost Wittenberg Association, aided by the Women’s League. Phi Gamma Delta and Phi Kappa Psi are the two fraternities to win the scholarship cup for the past two semesters. Perhaps the biggest thing on the calendar of the association for the year is the staging of the Honor Day banquet, an event where recognition is given the leaders in the various phases of campus life. The banquet this year was held on May 3. President Rees Edgar Tulloss gave the principal address. K. G. Lind, publicity director of the college, was the toastmaster, with Joseph Sittler, president of the organ- ization, in charge of the affair. Committeemen who carried on the affair with the other members of the group as assistants, were: Program committee, Arthur Cunningham, chairman; John Pettit, Dalton Young and Robert Bayless. Arrangements, Walter Steffen, chairman; Floyd Barger and Claudius Jen- sen. Tickets, Francis Mans and Herbert Yeler. The banquet was held at the new Masonic Temple, with the attendance restricted to four hundred fifty people. Speeches for the occasion were short, snappy, and straight to the point. A good time was had by all.” So the work of the Booster association has been a complete success as a booster movement during the entire year. An advance in methods concerning the traditional Freshman-Sophomore class conflicts, which usually transpire at the first of the year has been fostered by the association. Now members of the two classes do not meet in the more or less gory combats of prehistoric fame, followed by the traditional tug-of-war in which one class pulled the latter through slimy mud and muddy water. Today the members of the two classes meet on the field of athletics, testing the ability of each other in the famed tug-of-war, but now conducted on the Stadium football field for the edification of betwecn-thc- half spectators interested in some form of amusement, supplemented also by several races, particu- larly the dash and relay. Since Freshmen at the college have been forced to wear a distinctive cap by order of the association the outcome of these events is of supreme importance. If the Freshmen win. the caps may be doffed at the end of the first semester, while if the “Sophos” are victorious the “Frosh” are forced to wear the headgear for the whole year. This is a peaceful, yet colorful spectacle, getting away from the gross brutality occasioned when the two groups met in more or less deadly hand-to-hand encounter to the detriment of noses, eyes, ears and mouths; and. also is a deviation from the time when, if the unwary were caught by a group of larger and mightier men than himself, it meant the ultimate discomfiture of lost pants, shirts, and other articles of apparel. Joseph Sittler is president of the association; Dalton Young, vice-president; Karl Kimber, secre- tary; and Professor E. A. Jensen, treasurer. Sittler is representative from the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity; Young from Kappa Phi; and Kimber from Pi Kappa Alpha. Other members of the association include Gerald Armstrong, representing Alpha Tau Omega; Rob- ert Rcmsbcrg, the academy; Charles Zimmerman the alumni; Arthur Cunningham, Beta Theta Pi; Dean Pershing, Herbert Vcler, Dorm; Walter Steffen, glee club; John Pettit, Phi Gamma Delta; Floyd Barger, Torch; George MeClcary, 1927 Wittenbcrgcr; John Rilling, Y.

I ALL of 1925. Wittenberg’s campus began to feel the need of some organization to stimulate higher school spirit and further interests in women’s activities. The college V. W. C A. was performing a valuable service along this line, but, with its reserve strength, directed in the channels of social service, Mother’s and Father’s Day celebrations, there was further need for an organization to sponsor co-ed activities. Seeing this need for a truly representative women’s organization. Dean Ruth Immel. together with three women students, Mary Chrvst. Pauline Bushev, and Margaret Kantzcr, brought into existence the Wittenberg Women’s League. Carrying out its original policy of being representative of the entire body of co-ed stu- dents. the council was composed of representatives from all four classes of the college. Four seniors, four juniors, two sophomores, and two freshmen, composed the membership of the league council. F.very woman student is automatically a member of the League, the council being primarily the governing body. Shortly after its formation, the league adopted the following as its purpose: “To cor- relate and unify the interests of women students . to stimulate a high type of school spirit; to support the best standard of college life.” The league plays an important part in the social life of the campus, especially during the early part of the year, when freshmen co-eds are wandering around rather dazedly, at- tempting to find this and that place and wondering if the martyrs of olden times ever had to go through anything like registration. The members of the league make it their responsibility, together with the Y. W. C. A., to sec that freshmen girls are assisted in becoming accustomed to college and in adjusting their schedules and program of activities. [ 1 9 2 7 W 1 T T E N B E R G E R 1 I Rage One Hundred and Eleven J Wittenberg Women’s League AT Till- beginning of the college year, the Women's Pan-1 lellenic Council decided to change the plan for getting Freshmen acquainted with upper classmen. Instead of allowing the (Ireek letter groups responsible for the entertainment of first year girls by teas at the chapter houses, this work was assigned to the four women’s organizations on the campus, the Pan-1 lellenic Council, the Y. W. C. A., the Women’s Athletic Association, and the Women’s League Council. This party, together with the meetings of the council, comprises the major portion of the social activities of the league. During the last year, the league has rendered W ittenberg two decidedly beneficial serv- ices. namely, the supervision of the Alma Mater Fete and the compiling and publishing of the College Directory. I'he Alma Mater Fete, held during commencement week. is one of the most interesting, and without doubt the most beautiful of the events featuring the program of events during the college year. In this, the co-eds of Wittenberg present a pantomime typifying the loyalty of ittenbergers to their Alma Mater and embodying the spirit of life at Wittenberg. Since the organization of the league, the members of the council, in co-operation with Miss Kuth llelsel. Director of Physical education for Women, have been responsible for the success of the fete. The committee for last year's fete was composed of Louise Kichison, Lois Simon. I felen Harris, Marguerite Mahler, Frances Xunamaker. Kuth McCoy. Kathryn Baker. Harriet Howe, Lorena Hartman. Helen Myers, and (ieraldine Ileisler. Seven of these committee chairmen have served on the Women's League Council. Klizabeth Jencks was general chairman of the committees which produced last year's Alma Mater Fete. Since time immemorial, busy ittenbergers have had to dash here and there hunting up telephone numbers of sundry groups and individuals. Fond papas have become irate in hunting up the Dean's office in the city directory under every other heading except Witten- berg College, when their offspring have been extended invitations to cease school because of a little matter concerning scholarship. Students on the danger line have despaired trying to find the phone numbers of the professors on whom their salvation depends, in order that they may invite them over to the house for dinner. Date-seeking fraternity men have spent sleepless nights wondering how to locate this or that co-ed on whom his affections have been bestowed. And great has been the unsatisfied curiosity of various inquisitive students as to where Sally conies from and to what class Jack belongs. But this irateness, this suspense, this sleeplessness, this curiosity has all been appeased. I he “College Directory, published by the Women’s League Council, answers all those who seek enlightenment. The Directory includes the telephone numbers and location of all administration build- ings. dormitories, sorority and fraternity houses. It reveals the names and addresses of all faculty members. The entire student body is listed alphabetically, together with their home addresses and telephone numbers.

OX KR 350,000 college students throughout the world are hound together by the various college and university campus “Y” organizations, according to statistics released re- cently by the national council. Wittenberg College is one of the thirty-eight colleges in Ohio to have an organization, in the I nited States there are 350 groups, and. while in Ohio alone the membership is approximately 6,000, the membership in the whole nation is around 150,000 active men. The main purpose of the organization oil the Wittenberg campus is to bind together all men with the purpose of uniting them in Christian brotherhood and comradeship for their mutual and spiritual betterment for the purpose of rendering voluntary Christian service through the campus and the community. The national organization was made at the Cni- versity of Virginia in 1841. while the organization was established at Wittenberg soon after the founding of the college in 1845. The service that the organization renders is divided into two distinct parts, one for whole community betterment, and the latter made up solely of work on the campus. (lospel teams, teaching Bible classes in fraternal homes in the city, acting as Boy Scout leaders, and furnish- ing speakers for local churches are listed in the first group, while the publication of the official college “Handbook” with the joint co-operation of the Y. W. C. A., the staging of an all- college men’s stag, regular instructional bi-weekly membership meetings, the conduct of Sunday afternoon vesper services in co-operation with the Y. W. C. A. and a part in the all- campus Christmas carol, form the major part of the general work on the campus. As an adjunct to the special “Mother’s Day” exercise held by the Y. W. C. A. for the first time this year a special “Dad’s Day” celebration was inaugurated. 'This was held No- vember 20. and as a part of the entertainment the dad’s were taken to the Ohio I'niversity football game, followed by a banquet in the evening at I'erncliff hall. Dr. Rees Kdgar Tulloss presided as toastmaster. [ 19 2 7 WIT T E N B E R G E R ] [ Page One Hundred and Thirteen J College Y. M. C. A. TH K organization also aids in staging “Mother’s Day;” in the activities of the newly in- augurated “Freshman Week” at the college, held the first week of school, before upper classmen arrive, in order that the new men may gain a knowledge of the campus while yet free from the responsibility of attending classes. Officers of the association this year included John Killing, president; Joseph Keyser, vice-president; Phillip Keyser, secretary; and Frederick Otto, treasurer. The personnel of the cabinet, in addition to these men, consisted of Joseph Sit tier. Arthur Mahr, Gerald John- son. Morris Skinner. Seth Cummings, James Olsen. Joseph Bullock, Paul Keyser. Fi nest Mul- lendore, and Howard llauter. with three faculty advisors, Dr. Paul II. Hciscy, Dr. (1. I . Voight, and the Rev. I� . F. Pershing. The annual stag, held early in the fall, as a gather-together pep meeting before the first football game of the season, was attended by Dr. Rees Kdgar Tulloss, Dr. C. (i. Shatzer, Coaches K. R. Godfrey and William Trautwein, in addition to members of the football team. This gave members of the freshman class their first chance to meet members of the three other classes socially, as well as to obtain an idea of real school spirit. The occasion’s importance was immensely heightened by a large bonfire, around which the “stags” ate their “fill of toasted “weenies” and doughnuts, succored by steady draughts of black, black coffee. During the summer the college Y. M. C. A. aided, materially, that is. financially, by the local “V” organization, sent a delegate to the world-wide conference at Helsingfors, Norway. The delegate was T. Burton Curry, Springfield. In reporting the affair to the organization at one of the early fall meetings, lie was enthusiastic concerning the line treatment accorded the members of the conference by the “Northerners,” told of sojourns to adjoining countries, and had in general the “time of his life.” In the election of officers held in the spring, Harold Beemon won an exciting race in a field of four candidates. Other officers of the organization elected at this same time, included Janies Olsen, vice-president; John Mclntire, secretary; and Homer McFadden, treasurer. Arthur Mahr and Hazel Messmore were named as the joint editors of the official college “Handbook,” to be issued in the fall of 1927 to the members of the incoming freshman class. The volume, a source of much-sought information by new students in the college, is unoffi- cially known, perhaps because of its origin, as the “Freshman Bible.” The faculty advisors for the new year announced following the election are: Professors Paul F. Bloomhardt and T. H. Thompson, file cabinet appointed by Beemon include. Francis Maus as chairman of the Bible study group; Stanley Raymer, publicity; Arthur Cunningham, social activities; Beverly Holaday, deputation ; Arthur Mahr, church relations: Janies Olsen, program; Donald Heft, intercollegiate relations: Homer McFadden, finance: Thomas Lans- berry. membership: Fdwjn Bracher, new student activities; Karl Johnson, boy’s work: and Richard Henderson, missionary education. A banquet was held for both the old and new cabinet. April 5. Guests at the affair, in- cluded l)r. Rees Kdgar Tulloss, Dr. C. G. Shatzer, John L. Dorst, general secretary of the Springfield V. M. C. A.; Cyrus Wallick, president of the I lamma Divinity School student body: and Floyd Barger, editor of the “Torch.” Induction of officers before the entire mem- bership of the organization was held in the college chapel the same evening, with “Jerry” Montgomery, vice-president of the state organization, the dynamic orator of the occasion. Members of the organization, who formed a part of the party of eight that attended the World Lutheran meet during the latter part of the holiday season at Madison, Wisconsin, were: Fdwin Bracher, Howard Draving, Alfred Weber, and W. Howard Dawe. Four mem- bers of the Y. W. C. A., also attended the conference. They were: Lois Miller, Mabel Hcck- aman. Mary Shinowara. and Marjorie Scholl. The fourfold purpose of the organization, as explained at the convention, is to lead stu- dents to faith through Jesus Christ: to lead them into membership and service in the Christian church: to promote growth of Christian faith and character; and to influence them to de- vote themselves in a united effort to furthering Christianity.

A., the women’s organization for fostering of religious activities on Wittenberg’s campus, has as its purpose, “To live unreservedly Jesus’ Law of Love in every relationship of life and so to know God.” When bewildered first year co-eds arrive at their newly selected Alma Mater, they are not left to fathom the mysteries of college life alone and unaided. They have, completely prepared for them before they come. Big Sisters to guide them through the struggles of reg- istration, filled classes, new acquaintances, and dormitory rules. And the new year is joy- fully ushered in by a “Big-Little Sister Party,” with every detail complete (including suck- ers, balloons, dolls, and Teddy Bears). 'flic Y. W. C. A. is a real and lasting force in the social service work of Springfield and Clark county, flic Christmas and Thanksgiving season never fail to see plenteous baskets of food distributed to the poor of the city. Santa Claus, in the person of Wittenberg co-eds of the Y. W. C. A., brings delight into the hearts of the kiddies of the Clark County Children’s Koine by giving them a hilarious Christmas Party in the parlors at Ferncliff Hall. The Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. unite in four of the principal campus activities, the Christmas Caroling, the Sunday Afternoon Vesper Services, the annual “Dad’s Day” and the annual “Mother’s Day.” Regularly as the holiday season arrives, the students of Wittenberg, under the direction of the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M C. A., sing the carols of Christmas time at the homes of the faculty members. The Sunday Vesper services in the college chapel were featured by addresses givn by both students and faculty members. Among those addressing the student body were: Dr. E. E. Flack, Dr. A. O. Becker, Dr. J. B. Mark-ward, Prof. P. L. Mellenbruch, and Professor John Slater. f 1927 WITTENBERCER 1 I Page One Hundred and Fifteen J College Y. W. C. A. TIIK DADS of Wittenberg students were the guests of the college on November 20, and were royally entertained by the Ohio University-W ittenberg football game and a banquet at FernclilT Hall. In order that mothers might be made to feel welcome at the annual Mother’s Day program, April 30-May l.a faculty-student committee sent a special invitation from President Tulioss to the mother of every Wittenberg student. The program of enter- tainment included luncheons at the various group houses, a tour of the campus, a May Day pageant, a banquet at FernclilT Hall, and the commencement exercises of I lamina Divinity School. Work among the employed girls and women of the city was under the able supervision of the Industrial Commission, which carried out a very beneficial program during the year. Activities of the cabinet during the year were both varied and interesting. The year was opened by a week-end conference at Camp Knolls, V. W. C. A. camp at Yellow Springs, Ohio. During the year, in addition to the bi-weekly meetings, the cabinet was entertained by Mrs. J. A. Ness, Miss Grace Prince, and Dean Ruth Immel. When the Ohio Y. W. C. A. spring cabinet training conference held a three-day session at Dennison University, April 8 to 11. the Wittenberg Y. W. C. A. was represented by six dele- gates: Marjory Scholl, Helen Schonfeldt, Louise Saker, Dorothy Francisco, Mary Shinowara. and Lucille Colbert. The leaders of the conference included Maude Gwinn, regional Y. W. C. A. secretary, and Arthur Hugh, Y. M. C. A. national student secretary for China. 'file morning of May 1, the traditional May Day, was ushered in by a May morning breakfast, given by the Y. W. C. A. in the dining room of Kernel iff Hall. At an all-college election, held March 22, Hazel Messimore. a junior, was elected editor- in-chief of the Wittenberg Handbook, an informational guide for Wittenbcrgers put out un- der the co-operation of the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. Officers of the organization during the past year were: Pauline Bushey, president: Kathryn Baker, vice-president: Marjorie Scholl, secretary, and Flizabeth Jcncks, treasurer. The complete cabinet included: Pauline Bushey, Kathryn Baker. Marjorie Scholl, Flizabeth Jencks, Ruth McCoy. Ruth Hawishcr, Mabel Heckaman, F.leanor Mueller, Lucille Colbert. Helen Cadwallader, Lois Silicon. Dorothy Francisco, Lucille Dunlap, Charlotte Bell, Helen Billstone, Ruth I ladder, Helen Meyers, Ruby Craner, Wilma Timmcr. Lois Miller. Margaret Sittler, and Mary Catherine Bissinger. At the election held March 22. the following were elected to guide the destiny of the organization during the coming year: Marjorie Scholl, president: Ruth McCoy, vice-presi- dent: Mary Catherine Bissinger, secretary, and Lucille Dunlap, treasurer. Marjorie Scholl, the newly elected president, appointed the following cabinet to assist in the administration of the organization during the 1927-28 school year: Louise Saker, meetings; Mary Fllen Christopher, membership; Helen Schonfeldt, social activities; Mar- garet Sittler, community commission; Helen Cadwallader, student-faculty; Helen Kundz and Mary Shinowara, world-fellowship; Wilma Tinimer and Dora Ryan, publicity; Dorothy Francisco, industrial; and Katherine Hartman, social service. Wittenberg appreciates deeply the efficient service which the Y. W. C. A. is performing on the campus. [ 1927 WITTENBERCER ] I Page One Hundred and Sixteen J Student Cliest WITTENBERG'S fourth annual student chest drive was conducted on November 22-24. with John Davcv. in charge as special campaign manager. Working directly with him were the members ot the Student Chest Board of which Francis Maus was president: Kathryn Baker, vice-president; Mary Catherine Bissinger, secretary; and Eleanor Zander, treasurer; with Professor K. A. Jensen, busi- ness manager of the college, and Dean B. II. Pershing, as the faculty advisors oi the project. In addi- tion to this special executive board, minor committeemen included Edwin Bracher, in charge of the supplies; Herman Gilbert, publicity director: Pauline Bushev in charge of the speakers, and Maus, who was held responsible tor all arrangements. Members of the budget committee, which allotted the sum of $4.075 to eleven different organiza- tions on the campus were Dean Pershing, chairman; Professor K. A. Jensen. Dean Ruth Immel. Robert Ingmand, Helen Meyers, and John Slater. The portions allotted the organizations arc as follows: Mis- sionary in India. $750; Boost Wittenberg Association, $100; Women's League, $100; V. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., each $ 00; the men's and women's glee clubs, each $125; band, $250; orchestra, $200; city com- munity fund. $250; and contingency. $500. Two hundred dollars is also allowed for campaign and other expenses. In putting the campaign over the top in the days prescribed special chapel services were held each day at which members of the speaking corps beseeched members of the student body to dig down and pay. Six division chairmen aided Davey in the final rush for the established quota. They were: John Rilling. Seth Cummings. Arthur Mahr. Betty Jencks, Kathryn Fritz and Frederick Otto. Nearly every organization on the campus oversubscribed its quota. The importance of the drive to the -chool is practically the same that is known to have influenced many cities to adopt the plan, namely, to get over in one drive and the writing of one check, the numerous contributions that must be made annually. Little trouble seemed to stand in the way of the campaigners, who. working each individual, and each group, by a reliable index card system, literally and figuratively did not forget any one in the clean-up.” Of particular moment at this time was the announcement that Dr. Rees Edgar Tulloss was made general-in-chief of the Springfield Community Fund drive, which, as events soon showed, he put across with that curious dispatch which has made him one of the leading college executives in the United States. Members of the Student Chest Board, reading left to right, are: Mary Catherine Bissinger. Francis Maus.

The group was organized October 31, 1926. G. Ernest Mullendorc was elected president of the organization: Phyllis Millard, vice- president: and Lois Simon, secretary. Anthony Tuccinardi and Helen Becker were chosen as ex-oHicio members of the executive board to meet with the special health committee of the faculty. The group includes representatives of every student organization on the college campus. Other members are: Dalton Young. Bessie Albrecht, Ruth W alker, Mildred Wilson, Kath- erine Hartman, Arline De Korte, Phillip Keyser. Bred Lucas. John Pettit. Mabel lleckaman. Helen Maurer, Erhardt K.unde, Margaret Menges. Godfrey Beaumont, Ward Thresh. Carl Stockli, Elizabeth I'reed. Helen Schonfeldt. and Mildred Mender. Members of the faculty committee, of which Miss Elizabeth Barker, student health director, is the chairman, arc as follows: Dr. Rees Edgar Tulloss, Dr. Charles (1. Shatzcr, Miss Ruth Immcl. Rev. P� . II. Pershing, Professor W. C. Beaver, Miss Ruth llelsel. 1C R. Godfrey, William J. Trautwein. Miss Alma Denny. Dr. M. L. Rcymert, Dr. C. '1'. Pihlblad, Professor H. J. Arnold, Miss Alma Long, and Dr. R. Morris Smith. The work accomplished during the past year has been rather in maintaining health, rather than curing disease. A college doctor, Dr. C E. M. Finney, of Springfield, was en- gaged. and dispenses free medical aid to any student who visits him in his office in Recitation hall. The plans of the council also include aid to students forced to go to the hospital for treatment. This aid is given free to the student. The expense is borne pro rata by each student matriculating at the college, when he pays a fee of two dollars for each semester. Doctor Finney dispenses his pills two hours each day. Meetings of the organization arc held every two weeks. Included in the aims of the council is the idea to supervise to a great extent the boarding tables of the various group houses on the campus, in order that the proper rations, conducive to a healthful life, are eaten. An attempt to foster health is being made through the channels of the Torch. Short, pithy epigrams, such as the following, appear each week : “Setting-up exercises arc to health what the daily prayer is to the soul.” and “A bath should be a daily occurrence and not an event.” Representative of various campus organization serving on the Student Health Council, arc. left to right, top row: John Pettit.

NO CAMPUS, he it large or small, is able to function to advantage without a newspaper to herald its exploits and record its happenings. And the Torch. Wittenberg's official weekly newspaper, has nobly served this purpose «luring the past year. All editorial and reportorial work, business management, and circulation is done by students inter- ested or majoring in journalism, advertising, or business administration. Thus Wittenberg’s six-column, four-page publication, which appears on the campus every Thursday, is an adequate and genuine rep- resentation of Wittenberg’s student body. When the co-eds wielded the pen for their annual issue last year, the front page shone resplendent with the picture of the Torch’s new editor-in-chief, and the announcement of the staff for the 1926-27 school year. Floyd Barger appeared as the editor. The remainder of the staff, including the following students, made up the editorial board of the paper: managing editors. Herman Gilbert and Dalton [ 1927 WITTENBERCER 1 I Page One Hundred nnd Nineteen J Torch Voting: sports editor. John Davey; social editor. Eva Foss; feature editor. Hazel Messiinore: assistant feature editor. John Killing: seminary editor. Adrian Lehold; activities editor. Chester Bird: columnist. Charles Kraatz; reporters. Wilma Timmer. Dorothy Marklev, William Wilcox. Philip Premisich. Ruth Spenny. Thomas l.ansherry. Barrett Klopfer. Karl Schneider. George Wakely. E. R. Walborn. and Myl- dred Bitter. The business staff was made up of the following students: business manager. Roland G. Kemper: advertising manager. Charles White; assistant advertising manager. Richard Meiling: circula- tion manager, John M. Larimer; assistant advertising managers. John Trembley and John Rauch. Dr. E. 0. Weaver was again chosen to act as faculty advisor. During this year, the Torch made a distinct step forward in the realm of journalism and put the paper on a basis which will permit of a much wider scope and recognition than it has ever possessed here- tofore. On December 3 and •! of this year, the Ohio College Newspaper Association met at Ohio Univer- sity. with William Smiley, editor of the Green and White. Ohio University’s paper, as host. Barger went to Athens to represent the Torch and listen in on the meeting which was to decide whether or not the Torch would be admitted into the Association. The result of the meeting showed the vote cast in favor of Wittenberg's being admitted as a member of the Ohio College Newspaper Association. And in ad- dition, the Torch’s editor was elected vice-president of the Association and editor of the official bulletin of the organization. Membership gives to Wittenberg the news service and exchange service of the as- sociation. Stories received and printed in the regular issues, bear the credit line. “By 0. C. X. A. The next step forward was taken when the Torch entered the Scripps-Howard contest for Ohio Col- lege newspapers. The contest included all newspapers in Ohio. 27 in number, with the exception of the Ohio State Lantern. Each paper entered submitted six consecutive issues beginning February 28. The Scripps-1loward newspaper alliance of Ohio sponsored the contest. The judgment was made on general conformation to journalism standards, make-up. handling of news, content, and organization of material. The contest was won by the Akron Buchtelite.” The last conference of the Ohio College Newspaper Association was held at Delaware April 29 and .50. Barger and William Thomson, former news editor of the paper, represented the Torch at this con- clave. Three special issues, in addition to several six page editions, featured this year’s Torch. The first special issue was edited by the Freshmen of the staff, under the supervision of an editorial board of 14 Freshmen, headed by Barrett Klopfer. The second was a two-page sheet in addition to the regular four- page edition, edited entirely by members of the V. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. cabinets. The last, but not the least, of the special editions, was the “Co—Ed Number.” The campus is still in a furor as a result of the sheet of flaming red scandal, titled “The Fearless Flayer. Faculty, students (prominent and otherwise), organizations, and institutions, all fell under the stroke of the co-ed pen. and none escaped. Dorothy Marklev acted as editor-in-chief of the co-ed number. Louise Richison as business manager. Helen Harris as advertising manager, and Hazel Messiinore and Mvldrcd Bitter as managing editors. The Torch has. it , the past year, endeavored to mirror conditions as they actually appeared on the campus, writing truth without partisanship. Through the open forum of the paper, the opinions of stu- dents were freely expressed and campus problems discussed. f 1 9 2 7 V ITTENBERCER 1 I Page One Hundred and Twenty J 1927 Wittenberger Annual •Members of the 192 7 Wittenberger staff shown above are: top row. left to right.

It is the account of the volume which you arc now reading, the 1927 Wittenberger. Since time immemorial, the Junior Classes of colleges have issued, at the end of each year, a chron- icle of the year's events. Thus, in accordance with this custom, the present junior class adds one more chapter to the history of Wittenberg in the form of the 1927 Wittenberger. I or the last two or three years, due to a combination of circumstances, including the retirement of one of the editors due to ill health and the resignation of a business manager, the annual has ended the year with a deficit. This situation makes it necessary for the members of the senior class to share the ex- pense and make up the deficit before graduating. When the time arrived for the production of the 1927 annual, the faculty called for a conference of the staff to decide whether or not there would be a. Wittenberger. For several months the fate of the book hung in the balance. Before permission would be given to publish the annual, every junior was required to buy his book. With the exception of a very few, the junior class responded. In order to insure that the book would not again be a financial burden on the class, the faculty agreed to permit the publication of the annual on condition that the editor and business manager should share half the deficit, should there be one. They agreed, and thus there is an annual. But all these ne- gotiations consumed time, and when the annual at last got under way. four and one-half months had been lost. Therefore, we pray you. judge not too harshly the product of our concentrated efforts. This year also marked a new plan of editing the year book. Heretofore, the staff has been composed entirely of members of the junior class. With the establishment of the new financial plan, a new editorial [ 1927 WITTENBERGER 1 L Page One Hundred and Twenty-one J plan was also established, whereby the members of the freshman and sophomore classes aid in the publication. This step was necessary in order to make effective the plan which will be observed in se- lecting members for the future annuals of Wittenberg. Starting with the 1928 annual, this plan will be followed. The nomination for editor and business manager will be made by Pres. Rees Edgar Tulloss, together with the editor and business manager of this year's book. Xo junior will he permitted to work on the staff unless he has worked during his sopho- more year. After next year, it will he necessary for him to have worked for both his freshman and sophomore years. Under this plan, the efficiency of the staff will be increased and the necessary ex- perience will have been obtained to put out a well written and well organized year book. The staff who supervised the production of this year's annual was headed by George McCleary, editor- in-chief. Rodger Jackson, business manager, Dorothy Marklcy. associate editor, in charge of literary work, and Karl Kimber, associate editor, in charge of photography. The other members of the managing board are: William Sigmund and Helen Harris, activities edi- tors; Robert Bayless and Ruth McCoy, organizations editors; Hazel Messiniore, feature editor; Lucille Colbert and Charles Xuth, art editors; Lester Kishman and Francis Maus. assistant business managers; and Mildred Allshouse, stenographer.

Therein lie the trials, tribulations and sleepless nights of a college comic editor. And the re- mainder of the staff struggles with side-splitting anecdotes and senseless epilogues. This business of filling up space with nonsense isn’t what it seems when the composers of said nonsense are expected to be duly and properly sensible on all other occasions. When the year 1922 put in its appearance on Wittenberg’s campus, three things appeared most ob- viously needed: Something to portray the comic side of this business of getting an education, some- thing whereby we could compete with other colleges, and last of all (but most essential to college stu- dents), something different. And due to the efforts of four enterprising inmates of our institution, the three sought after ends were all combined into one stupendous enterprise. Thus originated the chronicle of college wit. humor, and jocularity. The Witt.” The five students responsible for the establishment of the Witt were: Wallace Horn. '23: Loren Coppock, '25: Meridith Baumgardner. ‘24, Harry Moran., '24. and Kdwin Bowers. '23. Wittenberg’s tradition has ever been Progress, and in this the Witt has kept pace with the other organizations which have been established. Since its establishment the Witt has been guided in its policy by five editors. Harry Moran acted as first editor of the publication. The following year. Kdwin Bowers took over the duties of editorship. During the third year of its existence, the Witt was under the guidance of William Pausing. Last year's Witt staff was led by Carl Zepp. Just before the close of the school year of 1925-26. the managing board and staff of the Witt elected Robert Bayless to carry on the business of amusing the collegiate population for the present year. And this year, together with last, have been epic-making years. On May 1, 1926. the Mid-Western Comic Association held its annual convention at Chicago. HI., sponsored by College Humor. Wittenberg sent four delegates to the meeting, at which it was to be decided whether or not the Witt would be admitted into the association. The students, who made the trip, George McCIcary. Robert Bayless. Kdward Clasz, and Carl Balbach, returned with the triumph- ant news that the Wittenberg Witt had been admitted into the Mid-Western College Comic Association. This was a distinctive step forward, for it gave to the Witt the right to use copyrighted material and a closer attachment with all the magazines in the association. [ 1927 WITTENBERCER 1 I Pu c One Hundred and Twenty-three J Witt The second step forward which has made the Witt an important factor in campus life, is the new policy which has been adopted during the present year. After the Witt's admission into the Mid-Western Association and the privilege of using copyrighted material which it afforded, the natural thing hap- pened. Having such a vast store of material to draw from which was apparently as funny as they make ’em (things always seem so if somebody else has to think them up), the staff became so fascinated with the hilarious contents of exchange publications that it almost forgot to write anything original, and the book threatened to be more a combination of ordinary witticisms rather than a purely local publication. To this situation there was only one remedy—a change of policy, and the staff immediately proceeded to make the change. Under the present staff the Witt has ceased to be a purely humorous publication, and has become a chronicle of wit and humor, current affairs, college life, literary, artistic, and dramatic criticism, and editorial opinion. The Travel Number, which inaugurated the change, published this editorial describing the new method of editing the Witt. “Excellent opportunities have been offered, we are sure, in a field which has been just outside that of the Witt's activity. We believe there should be what one might term, a ‘balancing influence.' though extremely periodic, which would present, probably a different aspect of the student life at Wittenberg. “Until now. any course other than that of humor has been foreign to this magazine. Let us. in this issue, acquaint you with the new Witt, which shall devote a section, perhaps, in a humorous way. to things Wittenberg. The staff which has edited this year's Witt, and participated in its new policy is made up of the fol- lowing members: Robert Bayless, editor-in-chief: George McClcary, managing editor; Dorothy Mark ley and Ruth Walker, associate editors: LcsterKishman. business manager; Karl Kimber. circula- tion manager; Ted McMillan, art editor; Hubert Hathaway and Carl Balbach, advertising managers. These students make up the managing hord. Contributors who helped make the Witt successful num- ber the following students: Art. Nelson Glenncr, Russell Berg. William Krupp, Lucille Colbert, Charle Kraatz. and Russell Larsen: advertising. Charles Downey and Hugh Kichnian; literary. Jane Schaefer, Dalton Young. Eva Boss. Chester Bird, Edward Clasz, Leonard Teichmoeller, Paul Dorst. Merle Baumer. Rodger Jackson. John Xycum, and Martha Timmerman. Interesting contributions were also made by faculty members, including Prof. Paul R. Brees, faculty advisor for the book; Prof. G. P. Yoight. and Miss Georgia MacPhcrson. On Friday. April 22, the Witt staff met and chose the following as the managing board for the com- ing year: Editor. Dorothy Marklev; managing editor. George McCleary; associate editors. Robert Bayless and Martha Timmerman; business manager. Rodger Jackson; advertising manager. Hubert Hathaway; circulation manager; Karl Kimber; art editor.

WHFX the college year was under way. and football was about to be packed away in moth balls until next fall, dramatics, forensics, and oratory began to occupy the attention and interest of students. On November 16. Prof. Paul K. Brees, head of the public speaking department, is- sued the call for orators to represent Wittenberg in the three contests scheduled. Orators and alter- nates were required for the State Old Line Intercollegiate Oratorical contest, the Women's State Inter- collegiate Peace Oratorical contest, and the Men’s State Intercollegiate Peace Oratorical contest. The tryouts, five minute speeches on some social topic, gave places to the following in the ora- torical contests: Old Line orator. Russell Berg: alternate. Fdward I famine; Women's Peace orator. Louise Richison: alternate, Louise I loll: Men’s Peace Orator. Charles Lenten; alternate. Karl Morris. Work of training for the contests was started immediately under the direction of Professor Brees. The orators were coached by Prof. G. Vernon Kelley after the departure of Prof. Brees on the trans- continental debate tour. The first of the contests to take place was the State Old Line contest, held at Otterbein on February 18. Russell Berg, speaking for Wittenberg, took second place in the contest with his oration, Dirt Brings in the Cash, dealing with the theater situation as it is found today. First place went to Donald Dozer, of Wooster, and third to Harry Krvtzer. of Muskingum. A total of $35 in prizes was awarded to the winners of 11r t and second places. Fight schools were entered in the contest. Wesleyan, Otterbein. Baldwin-Wallace. Oberlin. Heidelberg. Hiram. Muskingum, and Wittenberg. In the next contest for forensic honors. Wittenberg’s representatives for the State Peace contests journeyed to Westerville to meet representatives from other Ohio colleges in the preliminaries for the final State Peace contest. In the afternoon of Friday. April 22. Louise Richison represented Wittenberg in the Women’s Peace con tot held at 3 o’clock in Philophronean Hall, at Otterbein. Dr. Sarah M. Sherrick. professor of Fng- lish Literature at Otterbein. presided. Miss Ricbison’s oration. “Colleges of Crime.” dealing with life in our prisons, won first place in the competition. Otterbein's literary societies, debate squads, and dramatic societies, acted as hostesses at a tea following the program. Charles Lenien, Wittenberg’s orator for the Men’s Peace contest, delivered his oration. “The Mod- ern Sampson.” dealing with the problem of the power of war and destruction and the possibilities of a universal peace in the future, at the men's contest held the same evening. Miss Richison traveled to Wesleyan on May 13. to take part in the finals for deciding the Ohio championship. Both speakers delivered their orations in the College Chapel on Wednesday. April 20. that Wittcnbergcrs might have an opportunity to hear the speeches by which they were to be repre- sented in the state contests. On April 28. Charles Lenien entered as a participant in the Ohio finals of the Third International Intercollegiate Oratorical contest, for which $5,000 in prizes was offered by the Better America Federa- tion of America. All contestants were to speak on the constitution. Lenten chose as his subject. John Marshall and the Constitution.” I 1927 WITTENBERCER Page One Hundred and Twenty-five ] Men s Varsitvj Debate WHKX Wittenberg College sent a debate team, composed of two undergraduates, accompanied by a member of the faculty, on a trans-continental trip, which ultimately brought them to the Pa- cific coast, the event marked a new epoch in forensics at the Lutheran institution, for it was the first time that a team had ever been sent on a similar mission. Then, following the end of the debate season in Ohio, when all the statistics had been tabulated by the Ohio State Inter-Collegiate Debate Con- ference officials, that. too. marked another distinct event in the history of the college, for it was the first time since the formation of the conference five years ago that a Wittenberg team had ever captured a State title. Perhaps there was a reason why Wittenberg’s veteran team was a shade stronger than any of the other Buckeye teams. As captains of the two squads, they had men of three and four years’ debate experience, who admit- tedly hold a record for intercollegiate debate participation in this day and age. Joseph Sittler. captain of the Negative team, has been a varsity man for three years, and until his departure for tiie transcontinental trip had participated in seventeen debates, not including those in which he had served as alternate. Lester Crowl, leader of the Affirmative team, has bad four years’ varsity ex- perience, and had participated in twenty intercollegate contests up to the time of his trek with Sittler westward, where they debated ten institutions, winning decisions in eight of the clashes, only losing the other two after heated discus- sions. The championship trophy of Ohio was won without the loss of a single debate. The debate season began rather early this year with an international contest with the debate team from the University of Sydney, of Sydney. Australia. The traveling Anzacs were making a transcontinental tour of the United States, de- bating the leading colleges and universities. Thirty debates were on their itiner- ary. on a tour which began October 13. with a debate with the University of California, and ended with a clash with Iowa State. December 3. after the team had made a trip to the Atlantic seaboard to debate several eastern schools. The Anzacs came prepared to speak on any one of a list of twelve different sub- jects. from which the Wittenberg team selected the question regarding the entry of women into the busi- ness world as being deplorable. The debate was held at the High School auditorium. November 15, with the Wittenberg trio emerg- ing victorious due to the two to one verdict of the audience. Two methods of debate were contrasted. One was the American, true to established form, methodical, and only partly humorous: while the other, the Australian, was very informal and humorous. Ted Gray. Joseph Sittler and Lester Crowl formed the Wittenberg team, while the Australian school was represented by Dr. John Godsall, Noel I). McIntosh, and Sydney II. Heathwood. all graduate students. The next debate of the season was a no-decision contest with Occidental College, of Los Angeles. California, who were also making a tour of the country. Theodore Gray, Charles Lemen, and Karl Schneider represented the cardinal and cream in the talk-fest, which resulted in a no-decision open forum discussion. The last of the three pre-season debates was with Capital University of Columbus, in which the Wit- tenberg affirmative lost a 2 to 1 decision, and the negative one, 3 to 0. giving the Lutherans an edge in the whole contest. Sittler, John Davey, and Richard Hutchins were the members of the negative team, that, debating in the college chapel annihilated Capital, while the affirmative team, debating in Columbus, was composed of Crowl. Leonard Teichmoeller and William Boldt. Members of the Affirmative Debate team of Wittenberg are: Meryl Baumcr. William F.ichenberg, Ross Wagner. William Bolt, George McCIcary. and John Mclntire. f 1927 WITTENBERCER 1 I Page One Hundred and Twenty-six J Men s Varsittj Debate WITTENBERG did not lose a single debate contest in winning the Ohio Conference title. March 4. both teams vanquished Heidelberg in a dual meet: March 11, BlufTton and Hiram were beaten in a triangular meet: and in the final debate of the season, on March 18. both teams won in a tri- angular contest with Otterbein and Muskingum. The question debated in all the contests related above, with the exception of the Australian fracas, was: “Resolved, that the present governmental tendency of the United States to restrict personal liberty is to be condemned. Both ends of the Heidelberg debate were won by 3 to 0 decisions. Crowl, Teichmoellcr and Mclntire, formed the affirmative team with Baumer as alternate; while the negative was composed of Joseph Sittler. Charles I.emen and Joseph Bullock, with John Davey as alternate. The negative team, debating Hiram College, won a 3-0 decision in tlie follow- ing debate, while the affirmative team defeated BlufTton. 2 to 1. Again Sittler and Bullock, with John Davey as the third man. and I.emen as alternate, formed the negative, with Crowl. Teichmoellcr and Baumer debating on the affirmative, with Mclntire as alternate. In the final debate of the season with Otterbein and Muskingum, both teams were composed of the same men, and both won the unanimous decision of the judges. Other members of the squad who did not participate in any intercollegiate contests were: Gerald Johnson. Ross Wagner, William Eichenbcrg and George McCleary. The Lutheran team that made the westward invasion was composed of the two team captains, Joseph Sittler and Lester Crowl, accompanied by Professor Paul R. Brees. Six subjects were prepared for the trip. They included discus- sions on the McXary-Haugcn farmer’s relief bill, at Kansas Wesleyan University, Bethany College. Bethel College, and Friend’s University; that democracy is a failure, at the University of Denver; prohibition, at the University of Colorado, and at the University of Redlands; and at Occidental College, on the re- vision of the college curriculum. At the University of Southern California and at the College of the Pa- cific, the Chinese question, as regarding the United States, stand in the Orient formed the ground for argument. The first debate on March 23. at Westminster College. Fulton. Missouri, had as its basis oi argument the entry of women into the business world, whether or not it is a thing that should be deplored. The complete itinerary, in addition to the debate at Westminster College, included. March 25. Kansas Wesleyan, at Salina. Kansas; March 27. Bethany College, at Linsborg, Kansas; March 29. Bethel College, at Newton. Kansas; April 4. the University of Denver, at Denver; April 5. the University of Colorado, at Boulder; April 8, the College of the Pacific at Stockton, California; April 11. the University of Southern California, at Los Angeles; April 12. Occidental College, also at Los Angeles; April 14. the University of Redlands, at Redlands, California. Debate in the West proved to be quite different from that in the Fast according to the recount of the three pilgrims on their return to school. Two-man teams are in the vogue at western institutions, with the open forum debate preferred over decision contests. This allows the discussion to be more or less informal from the platform and at the end of the debate allows the teams to be questioned closely by the audience in order to clarify obscure points. The only contest won by a forfeit was at Occidental College, who, earlier in the year, had made a tour of the Eastern states. JOSEPH SITTLER. Captain. Negative Tram. Members of the Negative team of Wittenberg are: Charles Lemen, Earl Schneider. John Davey. Joseph Bullock, and Theodore Gray. [ 1927 WITTENBERCER 1 I Page One Hundred and Twenty-seven J Women’s Varsity Debate TIN-, mission of woman has ever been to cajole, persuade, convince. and Wittenberg's women var- sity debaters had no intentions whatsoever of ruining a perfectly good and useful tradition. The only question which the tryout judges had to perplex them was. Which oi the fair convincers is the most convincing.- ' It was. indeed, somewhat of a question, but. after the manner of all questions, it had to be decided. At seven o’clock on October 6. 1926. I'rof. Paul R. Brecs, Prof. (I. Vernon Kelley, and William K. Billi- kam. Springfield attorney, assembled to listen to the arguments of the aspirants for forensic honors, and undertake the stupendous task of making the choice. The words flew, and by the close of the tryout the judges were so convinced of both sides that they began to try to figure out how to be monogamists and bigamists, all at one time, this being due to the fact that the question under discussion was. That Congress should he given power to pass a uniform marriage and divorce law.” One side contested quite vigorously that the states were quite capable of handling the situation, while the other wailed quite loudly that individuals were running around loose married in one state, divorced in an- other. and bigamists in still another. Thus the perplexity of the judges in trying to figure out a new system. The judges' decision gave places on the squad to the following girls: Louise Ricbison, Lois Dice. Mary McCray. Lucille Dunlap. Charlotte Bell. Mary Ellen Christopher. Charlotte Jackson. Esterka Davidson, Dorothy Markley, Elsie Wetsel. Pauline Bushev. Mabel lleckaman. Anna Schofer, Eva Poss, Mildred Hunter, Louise I loll, and Jean Trout. Work started in earnest the week following the tryouts, and the co-eds began to burn the midnight oil in finding out where you could get married with- out your parents’ consent, where you could get a divorce on coffee grounds (they found it was possible in Nevada), where you could collect several husbands at one time, and other useful data. They decided that research in this field was going to he decidedly beneficial. The evidence at the end of the season even included data on How to be happy, though married:.........The attributes of a successful wife. and a list of Don’ts” for wives and husbands. But this was not that which the fair students discovered in their search for evidence. They delved deep into the realm of politics, religion, and economics. They became engrossed in the intricacies of law. and wandered around popping quite unintelligible legal terms at poor unsuspecting persons whom they nut. All this re- search. study, making of outlines, and writing of speeches made up the preparatory work for the season of actual clashes with rival schools in the conference. Shortly after the beginning of the season, the squad was divided into affirmative and negative, and clashes between the two teams gave the individual speakers practice in meeting arguments of the oppo- sition. Louise Noll captained the affirmative girls, while the negative team was led by Elsie Wetzel. Individual research, team clashes, and the regular bi-weekly meetings, held on Monday and Wednesday, made the varsity debaters ready to participate in the first clash of the season. The first encounter took place on December 10. Wittenberg co-eds meeting the debaters from Taylor College. Upland. Indiana, in a dual contest. Wittenberg’s affirmative trio, composed of Charlotte Bell. Eva Poss. and Louise I loll, made the trip to Upland to meet Taylor’s negative. The clash between Wit- tenberg’s negative and Taylor’s affirmative in the college chapel saw Louise Ricbison. Charlotte Jackson, and Elsie Wetzel in action for the first time this debating season. The contest resulted in both a win fyl ft fa dhdta Members of the negative debate team, shown above, left to right. are: Mary McCray. Anna Schofer. Pauline Bushey. Dor- othy Markley.

The judges returned a 2 to 1 decision in favor of Wittenberg in the local debate, and a 2 to 1 for Taylor at Upton. The second contest scheduled for the co-ed teams was cancelled. Due to an altercation over judges in the men's scheduled clash with the Denison teams, all debating relations with Denison were severed. The next trip on the schedule took a trio of Wittenberg negative girls to Tiffin, to meet Heidelberg’s affirmative on February 24. Mary Ellen Christopher, Louise kichison. and Klsie Wetzel made the trip, accompanied by Professor Brecs, and Charlotte Jackson as alternate. Heidelberg’s negative met our affirmative in a hotly contested debate in the chapel. Anna Schoefcr. Mary McCray, and Louise Holl rep- resented Wittenberg. The debate was conducted on the open forum plan, by which the decision is a matter of the opinions of the audience. This type of debating gives the audience an opportunity to ask questions oi the debaters representing either side. Another non-decision contest was the next feature offered debating fans. This was a dual contest featuring Miami and Wittenberg. F.sterka Davidson. Mildred Hunter, and Dor- othy Marklev journeyed to Oxford, while a team composed of Lucille Dunlap. Mabel lleckaman, and Louise Holl met Miami’s negative on the local platform. The contest at Miami was held on March 9, while the other end of the argument was completed here on March 10. The closing event of the season was the annual debating classic of the women’s varsity season, the yearly triangular fray, including Butler. Albion, and Wittenberg. Each of the three schools puts excellent teams into the field, and the decisions are always the result of a sharply contested match. Wittenberg performed her share of the arguing at Indianapolis and on the local lloor. The negative trio, composed of Charlotte Jackson, Louise Kichison. and Elsie Wetzel met the Michigan team in the college chapel. Professor Brecs and four of the affirmative squad, Charlotte Bell, Lucille Dunlap. Louise Holl. and Pauline Bushev, made the journey to Butler, where the decision of the single judge was cast in favor of the Indianapolis team. The ballots of the judges for the local contest showed two votes for Albion, thus giving them the decision over the Wittenberg team. Notwithstanding the fact that the Wittenberg girls lost, they covered them- selves with glory in the contests. Four of the co-ed debaters. Charlotte Jackson, Pauline Bushey. Charlotte Bell, and Eva Poss. made their final appearances on the platform this year, for June will see them numbered among those who will soon be alumnae. Next year, once again. Wittenberg should have another successful season. Both team captains. Misses Elsie Wetzel and Louise Holl. will return to school, while Misses Mary McCray, Marklev. Kichison. and Davidson will be the members of the negative team to return. Misses lleckaman, Christopher. Dice. Hunter, and Dunlap, of the affirmative team, will also once again be eligible for intercollegiate compe- tition. In addition to these veterans, there arc expected to be several newcomers from the present Fresh- man debate squad, which has so successfully met, not Frosh teams, but varsity teams during this year. jjV . r ki 7 LOUISE HOLL Captain Affirmative learn Members of the affirmative debate team, shown above, left to right. are: Charlotte Belle.

[ 1927 WITTENBERCER 1 I Page One Hundred and Twenty-nine J Frosli Mens Varsity Debate QUESTION', What makes good transcontinental debaters r” We’d say, “Good Freshmen debaters.” Von never can start them too young. In accordance with this adage, the public speaking coaches of Wittenberg start out to look for good speakers as soon as a new crowd of Freshmen put in their appearance on the campus. And the results arc certainly worth the efforts. We feel that the strength which enabled Wittenberg to win the debating championship must be due in some measure to the training which some of Wittenberg’s debaters received in their first year at the game. Tryouts for this year’s squad, which was coached by Prof. John Slater, were held November 3. on the subject, “Resolved, That the direct primary be abolished.” After an evening crammed with political reasoning and terminology, the judges named the following as members of the Frosh squad for the 1926-27 season: Stanley Rayner, James Olsen. Monroe Swectland. Gordon Root. Charles Barrett. Ru- dolph Kvjen, George Lansbcrry. Frederick Charlcsworth, Malcolm Hank, Karl Morris. Harry Norr. Kenneth Vanderford. and August L. Schneider. Following the tryouts, the teams immediately started training for the active debate season. The first year men included two subjects in their program. The first, “Resolved. That the direct primary be abolished. was used in the clash with Albion, while the Women’s Varsity subject, “Resolved. That Con- gress should be given power to pass a uniform marriage and divorce law, was the basis for the argu- ment with the teams from Cedarville College. At the end of the season of preparatory work, the squad included eight active debaters. James Olsen. Gordon Root. August Schneider, and Stanley Raymer for the affirmative, and Rudolph Kvjen, Monroe Swectland. Karl Morris and Charles Barrett for the negative. With this well-drilled team as a nucleus, the season was carried to a finish. First on the program for the Frosh men was a one-way debate with Cedarville College. The ques- tion under dispute in this contest was that concerning the abolishment of the direct primaries. Witten- berg’s negative, composed of Rudolph Kvjen. Monroe Swectland. and Earl Morris, met Cedarville's affirmative at Cedarville. while the affirmative end of the argument was upheld tor Wittenberg by James Olsen. Gordon Root, and Stanley Raymer on the home floor. The debates were both open forum clashes, involving no judges’ decisions. The men closed the season with Albion. A one-way contest had been scheduled with the Michigan team, but the contest at Albion between Albion’s negative and Wittenberg’s affirmative was cancelled by the Albion team. The other end of the contest, held in the college chapel, resulted in a 2 to 1 decision for the visiting team. Karl Morris. Charles Barrett, and Gordon Root made up the negative trio for Wittenberg.

Somebody told Professor Brees that the same thing held true for debaters, so he tried it out on the co-eds for the year 1925-26. and it worked so well that he decided to keep the custom. Henceforth, the motto of the Freshmen Women’s Debate Squad will be. “Varsity debaters from Frosh debaters grow. And there certainly is a world of truth in that statement, for the co-eds trained by Prof. John Slater last year furnished the present varsity squad with some of its most valuable material. Tryouts for the Freshman squad were held on November 2. in Recitation Hall, on the question. Re- solved. that the allied war debt of the United States should be cancelled. Words flew pro and con. and the United States certainly would have received a vast amount of valuable information had it sent a representative to this event. The judges’ decision gave places on the squad to the following girls: Helen Chapman. Mildred Grundtisch, Klizabeth Hamer, Louella Henning, Harriettc Kauffman, Mary Porter. Kvelyn Robb. Mildred Wineland. Miriam Conger. Mary Geiger. Ruth Hullingcr, Helen Juergens, I.oiiia Katnmon. Virginia Morris. Grace Raup, Margaret Rice and Margaret Sittler. Under the direction of Prof. G. Vernon Kelley, the squad started a thorough and systematic inves- tigation of all the reasons available why the United States should be benevolent and cancel the enormous debt which the Allies owe her. or why she should not manifest such signs of benevolence. The training embraced research for material in a maze of diplomatic, political, philosophical, and economic data and records. The co-eds even found themselves involved in financial systems and the like. There shouldn't be any doubt as to their ability to become economical housewives after this course of instruction. The results of this research were utilized in the making of outlines and preparation of speeches, preparatory to the thorough speaking practice which was obtained through individual practice and team clashes. The first intercollegiate contest for the co-ed debaters took place on March 24. when a negative squad, composed of Klizabeth Hamer, Miriam Conger, Margaret Sittler and Ruth Hullinger journeyed to Bluffton to meet Bluffton's affirmative, and returned victors by a 2 to 1 decision. Kvelyn Robb, Slil- dred Grundtisch. Helen Chapman, and Mildred Wineland made up Wittenberg’s affirmative team for this debate, and won a 3 to 1 decision over Bluffton’s negative in the college chapel. A new system was inaugurated for the second and final contest of the year when the Frosh met the teams from the University of Cincinnati. Two-member teams, with a third member giving the rebuttal for the entire debate, featured the new system. The negative team, on which Loma Kammon and Mar- garet Sittler served as the constructive speakers, and Miriam Conger, as rebuttal speaker, met Cin- cinnati's affirmative on the home floor. The affirmative traveled to Cincinnati to meet the negative trio front that school. Kvelyn Robb and Mildred Wcinland made the trip as constructive speakers, and Mildred Grundtisch as rebuttal speaker.

Way back in 1886, when the feminine sex was not considered J especially cut out for journalism, nor especially prominent in activities. Esther Crawford, a co-ed, conceived the idea that women should enter into the activities of the college. Her theory that nothing is impossible led her to attempt to make plans for a suitable activity for co-eds. As a result of her efforts, two literary societies were formed, known as Junior and Senior Kuterpea. with their purpose, “To aid young women in assuming a place in literary activ- ities. 'I'he societies adopted as their motto. “Curae Nihil Impossible Kst.” Thus the two con- tinued to exist until 1921. By 1921, the staffs of the college publications contained the names of co-eds as frequently as those of tlie male portion of the student body. The journalism classes were well populated with co-eds, and women’s debate began to be one of the college’s major activities. With these changes, the co-eds no longer needed aid in assuming their place in literary activities. Accordingly, the two organizations. Junior and Senior Euterpea, merged into the present organization. In 1925, Euterpea changed its policy to read: To create a greater interest in modern literature. In accordance with policy, the program committee, consisting of Lois Simon and Elaine MiddlckaufT. in cooperation with the English department of the college, selected novels for review at the bi-weekly meetings of the organization. At the first meeting of the 1926-27 school year, Helen Cadwallader reviewed Fanny Hurst’s ApasHon- ata. ’ This novel, by the author of Lummox and Humoresque. gave tin- members a splendid start in their program of modern literature, 'flic next review. Edna I'crber’s Show Boat. was given by Chris- tine LeFevre. The following meeting was featured by a review of Walter White’s Flight.” by Margaret Rowland. Sylvia Thompson's Hounds of Spring was well reviewed by Mildred Wilson. Next came a review of Warwick Deeping’s Sorrel and Son. by Helen Harris. Margaret Deland, creator of hosts of delightful characters, including Dr. Lavender. was given a place in the program, when her book. The Kays. was reviewed by Dorothy Markley. The author of The Bent Twig” and The Brimming Cup, Dorothy Canfield Fischer, was given a place in the list of books reviewed when Jane Schaefer gave a re- view of her novel. The Home Maker.” Martha Timmerman contributed interestingly to the program by her version of Martha Ostenso’s Dark Dawn. Officers of the organization during the past year were: Elaine MiddlekautT. president: Kathryn Baker, vice-president; Ruth Walker, secretary; Ruth McCoy, treasurer, and Harriette Daniels, chaplain.

[ 1927 WITTENBERCER 1 I Page One Hundred and Thirty-two J Scliaus Fellowsliip STUDENTS at Wittenberg College interested in religions work have the opportunity of gathering in large educational groups to discuss the ways and means of better carrying on the work of the church, and to hear authorities on religion speak of the outside work- through the efforts of the Scliaus Fellowship. The purpose of the organization, as stated in its constitution, is “To band together students in religious education courses for Christian fel- lowship: discussion of religious education problems, and Christian service to the community. The organization derives its name from the late William Scliaus. who. with his wife, en- dowed the chair of religious education at Wittenberg College, and exhibited a great interest in the work of the department. Professor Paul I I. Ileisey, now head of the department, was one of the active organizers of the group, which includes in its membership approximately 125 students. Each year the organization holds a special banquet, at which a speaker of national fame and prominence is secured to address the body. Dr. C. P. Wiles, president of the Parish and Church School Board of the Cnited Lutheran Church in America, was the speaker at the ban- quet held this year at the Grace Lutheran Church, the evening of April 9. In his address, he commended the work of the group for its interest in the welfare of the church and the gen- eral interest exhibited in the problems of missionaries abroad. Exhorting as many as pos- sible to enter the ministry, which, for them would mean the building up of a stronger char- acter, he also explained the trials and tribulations through which the minister of the gospel must pass. It was the general thought that though not directly in the ministry, a person should be able bv his training to take part in church activities. John Schmidt was the president of the organization during the past year, while the other officers were: Dorothy Rushy, vice-president: Mary Catherine Bissinger. secretary, and Wal- ter Weber, treasurer. In addition to the officers, two committees carry on the work of the general organization.

And there is no one who can know and appreciate the advantages to he gained at Wittenberg and the joys of student lilc than the students themselves. Realization of this fact led groups of students on the campus to consider some plan whereby they could further interest in Wittenberg and her advantages. The results of this consideration gave Wittenberg her Town Clubs ' made up of students from different cities and states. This type of organization gives opportunity to these students to form collective plans in their home cities during the vacation periods, as well as giving them a means of giving friends at home a knowledge of what their young people are accomplishing at college. One of the most active of this type of organization is the Toledo Club, or to be more accurate. “The Wittenberg Toledo Student Association. The club was formed on the campus March 29. 1926. with this definite purpose: To uphold the ideals of Wittenberg and to further and instill friendship among Toledo students. At the formation of the club, the following students were chosen to lead the activities during the 1926-27 college year: Herbert Yeler, president: Hilmar Krueger, vice-president; Phyllis Millard, secre- tary: Mildred Bitter, treasurer. Faculty advisors for the organization are: Miss Alma Long and Prof. Karl G. Lind. Thus in accordance with their original purpose to further friendship among Toledo students, the club drew up a definite program for the year, including meetings, banquets and radio broadcasting. The regular business meetings of the group were held monthly, following dinners at the college tea room. The club has rendered a favor to Toledo students and those interested in Toledo by having a copy of the Toledo Blade sent daily to the Zimmerman library. The most important contribution which the Toledo club has rendered the school is the co-operation with alumnae and field secretaries in holding banquets in Toledo during the Christmas and Faster hol- idays. at which prospective Wittenbergers were the guests of honor. Membership of the organization is made up of the following Toledo students: Alberta Belize. Mildred Bitter. James Burbage. Herbert Dreyer, Richard Drouard, Willis Harre. Luella Henning. Helen Kundz. Hilmar Krueger. Andrew Leiser. Harry Lipski. Clarence Merce, Ralph Merickle. Raymond Meyer. Phyllis Millard, Frederick Ritter. Albert Schwartz. Sibylla Stroble. Herbert Yeler. and Elmer Wohler. Officer- for the coming year were chosen in April, and the following were elected: Frederick Ritter, president; Andrew Leiser, vice-president: Luella Henning, secretary, and Richard Drouard. treasurer.

The club was organized May 1. 1925, by Miss Louise Lahr. professor of home economics, and eight members of the de- partment. with the definite purpose of developing the efficiency of the home economics de- partment. Co-eds who arc making home economics either their major or minor for college credits make up the membership of the club. The labors of the members have done much toward satisfying the appetites of various groups of hungry Wittcnbergers as well as to fill the empty coffers of the treasury. The ultimate goal of this year’s activities was the purchase of an electric refrigerator for the use of the department. A large, shiny, white, and roomy Ser-vel to be seen in the kitchen, now gives adequate proof of the success of the money-making activities. Christmas dinners of many who spent the Christmas holidays at home were enhanced l v the juicy mince meat which the members made as the initial project on their financial program. A sale of gardenias also featured the Christmas season. Members of the Scandinavian Club, of which Dr. Martin L. Reymert is president, banqueted in Reci- tation Hall early in the year with members of the Home EconomicsClub acting as cooks, waitresses, and hostesses, for the occasion. Such is the versatility of their training. When the icy winds of winter were howling and the brave and hearty of the study body weathered the frost and snow to go caroling for the entertainment of the faculty members and their families, the Home Kconomics Club again performed a welcome piece of service. When the tired and hungry carolers returned, the co-ed members of the club had steaming hot chocolate and luscious sandwiches ready and waiting to appease their appetites. Immediately preceding the Easter vacation, the club members turned bakers and delighted the palates of all concerned by making delicious hot-cross buns for three days without ceasing. The proceeds from the sale of these contributed largely to the purchase of the refrigerator. The following students make up the membership of the club: Ethel Bowser. Miriam Cahill. Clo Funderbcrg, Madellyn Greiner, Helen Harris. Mary Harper, Margaret Howard. Betty Jencks, Josephine John. Florence Klaiber. Grace Koenitzer. Christine LeFevrc, Sarah Leonard.

Kdna Kurzcn, Mary Ellen Westenbarger. and Marie Hutchinson. Dean Pershing is the faculty advisor. Seminary students will also be enrolled as members of the organization soon. Pre-Medic Club ALPHA CHI. the pre-medic club, was organized early this year to meet a need for an active organi- zation on the campus that would take a definite interest in acquainting its members with the new things that are constantly arising in the medical profession, with the view of aiding pre-mod stu- dents to select the proper courses of study during their present college day to enable them to successfully enter medical school at their graduation. Paul 11. Dorst is the president of the organization. Other officers are Ervin Ray, vice-president; Godfrey Beaumont, secretary-treasurer; and Ward Thresh, sergeant-at-arms. One phase of work of the group will be short trips to places of interest to those keenly interested in the medical world. This will no doubt include trips to hospitals in Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Columbus to witness major operations. It is not attempting to go national. 1927 W1TTENBERGER 1 I Page One Hundred and Thirty-six J Michigan Club Members of the Michigan Club shown above, are. left to right: Top row. I'red Otto.

A VALUABLE service is rendered Wittenberg by the clubs made up of the students from various cities and states which are represented on the campus. One of the most active of these clubs is the club composed of students from the Wolverine state. When the Michigan students of the college organized in the fall of 1923. they adopted the following as their purpose: To further the interests of Wittenberg College in Michigan, and at the same time to promote a feeling of fellowship among Michigan students attending Wittenberg.” When the club was first organized it contained seventeen Michigan students. The membership for this year includes: Frederick Otto, Mildred Lentz. Henry James. John Schmidt. Eleanor Zander. George Lang, Arnold Pullen. John Davey, and Prof, and Mrs. Paul R. Brees. Officers for this year’s club are: President, Frederick Otto: vice-president. Mildred Lentz: treas- urer. George Lang: and secretary. Mrs. Paul R. Brees. Biology Club THE rapid development of the science department i Wittenberg has been assisted greatly by the increased interest taken by students in the biological department. The Biology club was formed in March of this year and at present is petitioning Beta Beta Beta, national Biological fraternity. Requis- ites for membership in the club include an interest in the biological sciences, with some information gained through completing at least one course in the department. A ranking of “A or B is also a prerequisite for membership. The aims of the club are to stimulate interest in the biological sciences and to further investigation. At the first meeting of the club, forty-one students signified their interest in becoming members. Election of the club’s first officers was held Tuesday, March 1. The following students were chosen to carry out the plans of the organization for the coming year: President, Mildred Bitter; vice-president, John Pettit; secretary-treasurer. Fred Swingle. r 19 2 7 WITTENBERCER 1 I Page One Hundred and Thirty-seven J Theta Clii Delta C HEM ISTRY enthusiasts at Wittenberg were signally honored this year when the Chemistry Club became a national fraternity within a few months after its origination.

The Development of the Science Department at Wittenberg.” by Dr. Linn. 96 Club WITTENBERG has ever been a college of traditions, and the makers of these traditions have been those who have graduated in former years. Each individual and every class which has gone out .of Wittenberg has contributed in some way or other to the traditions of their Alma Mater. And now the oils and daughters of those who have gone before are making more history. One of the most famous of classes which has ever graduated from Wittenberg was the Class of 96. In 1924. there were several students enrolled at Wittenberg whose parents had been members of that class. These students organized to form the 96 Club. The present membership includes: Elizabeth and Seth Cummings, daughter and son of Mr. and Mrs. Glen Cummings; Margaret Howard, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. E. G. Howard; Mal- colm Johnson, son of Mrs. Dana Johnson: Margaret Miller, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Miller; Elizabeth Schneider, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Phillip Schneider; Catherine Simon, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Harvey Simon; and Almena Tingling. Handbook THERE arc many publications and organizations on Wittenberg’s campus which assist in the advance- ment of the college and the interests of the students. But there is no instrument which so effectually serves seekers after information than does the Student Handbook. The information contained in this publication serves as a directory of the college and the city, and gives to the student all the information about any subject which could possibly be desired for efficient adjustment. The book is published under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. of the college, and the editors are chosen at an all college election held in the spring of each year. Herman Gilbert edited this year’s Handbook, assisted by Donald Heft as business manager. The all-college election of this year gave Hazel Messimorc the position of editor for next year’s book. Arthur Mahr will act as managing editor. Myldred Bitter and Charles Kraatz will serve as associate editors. f 1927 WITTENBERCER 1 L Page One Hundred and Thirty-eight J Band Wittenberg College’s 40-piccc Military Band parading on the Stadium field. WITTKX BERG'S BAND has had a somewhat stormy career. Xo one would suspect it oi the pres- ent well organized group of music makers. But such is the case. The hand of olden times has been eulogized by one of the former year books in this manner: Xothing stands out more vividly to the old graduates with retentive memories than the often painful, always sporadic efforts made by the college band. A bit of successful playing now and then, or a successful parade and the band seemed to have done its duty. It simply vanished.” It was not until 1923 that the band became a real organization, under the leadership oi a capable musician. Prof. B. I). Gilliland. Wittenberg was fortunate in securing the services of Prof. Gilliland, who had served as organizer of the Black Hussars, world famous concert band, and leader of the Kilties, and who had declined the offer of the government to take the leadership of the Marine Band before he came to this school. All was well with the band until, in the spring of 1925, Prof. Gilliland resigned as band instructor. When school convened in the fall of 1925. the plea for a band leader was broadcast, but no regular in- structor was provided. It was then that Prof. P. L. Mellenbruch, a capable musician, offered to take the leadership of the organization rather than see it go to pieces. His services were excellent and the band again flourished and did credit to our Alma Mater. They even stepped out in new uniforms and were a real force in helping Wittenberg create spirit for her contests on the athletic field. Due to his increasing academic activities. Prof. Mellenbruch found it impossible to take the leadership for the second semester of the P 26-27 year. So the band again dispersed and ceased to be for a short time. The advent of Prof. Anton Bjorklund as instructor of violin at the School of Music, and band director again instituted the band as an organized group. The progress since then has been steadily tip- ward. The personnel of the band includes: Robert Aten. Harry Baxter. Paul Birkhold. Frederick Charles- worth, Russell Kberwein. Earl Evans.

Un- der the direction of Prof. John Bennett Ham. the Glee Club has given a greater number of concerts and taken a more extended tour than ever before in its history. Shortly after the organization of the club in the fall, the following officers were elected to guide its activities: President, Frederick Otto; manager. Walter Steffen; treasurer. Hugh Miller; accompanist. Luther Spaydc. The membership numbers thirty- three. The first local appearance oi the club this year was at the Wittenberg-U’niversitv of Sydney. Australia debate held at the High School auditorium. The program consisted oi three numbers and was enthusiastically received. The event of the year for the glee singers, and the one toward which all the consistent training was directed, was the an- nual tour, which this year included four states, Illinois. Michigan. Indiana, and Ohio, extending from February 17 to February 30. The first concert of the tour was pre- sented at Van Wert on February 17. with a concert at St. Mark’s Lutheran church. The next date was February 18. at Constantine, Michigan. From February 19 to 21. four con- certs were presented at Chicago. The first two were held at the Memorial Lutheran church, and the latter at the All-American radio station and the Wicker Park Lutheran church. February 24 and 25 were spent at the Trinity Lutheran church at Fort Wayne. The tour was completed with concerts at Toledo and Lima. Luther Spayde. accompanist for the club, acted as piano soloist. His numbers on the tour included. Hark, the Horn Awakes the Morn’’ (Randeggcr). “Soiree de Vienne (Shubcrt-Liszt), “Intermezzo in Octaves (Leschetisky), and Etude in C Minor” (Chopin). Professor John Bennett Ham. in- structor of voice at the Wittenberg School of Music, and director of the Glee Club, acted as vocal soloist. His numbers included Un- til. and Friend 'o Mine (Sanderson), and Trumpeter” (Dix). The following members make up the mu- sical organization: Warren Wagner, Her- bert Halverstadt, Joseph Woodcox. Hugh Miller. Oscar Haupt. Berkley Zinn, Vernon Kissler, Clyde Ingle. Karl Johnson. Henry James, Stanley McClcnnan. Fred Snyder. Frederick Otto. Walter Steffen. Wilbert Wil- son. Joseph Cotton.

Song was wafted long ages ago from the clouds by the Hallelujah chorus: David played to Saul to soothe the mighty temper of the King of Israel; the carols of Christmas bring joy to the hearts of countless thousands every Yulctidc; the strains of immortal operas hold audiences spellbound night after night; snatches of Song keep courage in the hearts of lighting men when there is seemingly little left of battle but defeat; even the ceremonies and services of the religions of the world arc- based upon the appeal of song. Thus the pursuit of this phase of musical activity is well worth while, both to college- students participating, and to audiences. Wittenberg’s Girls’ Glee Club has made a splendid contribution to musical activity during the past year. Tryouts for places in the organization were held shortly after the opening of school, and the following girls were chosen to make tip the personnel of the club: Grace Aitken. Ruth Barr. Helen Billstone. Alberta Belize. Helen Chrisman. Helen Davis. Ar- lene DeKorte, Lois Dietz. Ella Marie label- ing. Anna Lee Engle. Florence Murray. Eleanor Oder. Margaret Phillips, Margaret Rice. Esther Ridenour. Dora Ryan. Margaret Seidel. Margaret Sittler, Mildred Snider, Ruth Spcnny. Eloys Stratton. Katherine Webber. Eleanor Zander. Elizabeth Freed. Helen Fitzgibbon, Faye Foreman, Rubcy Francis. Dorothy Francisco. Mary Fritch, Ruth Garman, Alice Gard. Xonna Harsh- barger. Ruth Hawisher, Deba Haines. Violet Hilbert. Margaret Howard. Loma Kammon. Mildred Kratz. Isabelle Krehbiel. Margaret Menges. Edith Miller, and Lois Miller. The officers chosen to direct the activi- ties of the organization were: Helen Davis, president, and Dorothy Francisco, secretary- treasurer. John Thomas Williams, under whom the organization was originally formed in 1922. is the director of the singers. The entertainment offered by the organiza- tion was aided splendidly by the contribu- tion of Geneva Demarest as accompanist. Geraldine Hoover, violin soloist, and Eliza- beth Freed, reader. The event for which all the practices had been a preparation, was the annual eight- day tour of Lutheran territory. The club left on February 23. and made its first ap- pearance at Gabon. The other cities in- cluded were: Shelby. Barberton. Akron (where numbers were broadcast from W’ADC). Youngstown. Canton. Dover, and Zanesville. Prof, and Mrs. Williams accom- panied the girls on the trip. ; s =r S 3 « a cr 73 £ 3 ? 5. r 3 1 ns- = 0 Cn If o _. 7 « £ a _ „ a. cf a- 3 ? � o i! l - r 0 n 5-ik •N r - 3 2 ® hlf a g t o £ « ’ 5-§ 2 2 ? ? ■ o •a T. 4' ■� i 73 2 o' 2 «3 -p n a 2 2 ftzi 5 a a -j 2 2 u?

To speak about the music that the aged one loved so well would be hut a short discourse on the merits of the college symphony orchestra, an organization of artists that has appeared not only before local audiences this year, hut has also appeared before those in the surrounding towns, under the patronage of various Lutheran churches, always giving pro- grams of interesting, sweet music that never failed to reflect credit on the school.

HARLEY'S AUNT.” a three-act comedy-farce. I y Bradon Thomas, was given by v members of the Senior class on December 8. at the Fairbanks Theater, as the annual class production. It was the first dramatic presentation of the year. The play is particularly well adapted to college men and women, as it depicts situations that constantly arise in actual scholastic life, accentuated, of course, so as to be ludicrously funny. The principal part of the production is devoted to enhancing the predicament of two boys, who after inviting two girls to lunch in their apartment, receive word that the chap- erone for the occasion, an aunt from Brazil, would not arrive in time for the festivities. The humor lies mostly in the fact that another chum in induced to don female robes, and imper- sonate the tardy aunt. Said the “Springfield Daily Sun.” in reviewing the play the following morning: “It proved to be full of many laughs, over the three college boys, all madly in love. “From the time that ‘Lord Fancour Babberly’ entered the apartments of his friend. ‘Jack Chcsney,’ in the quest of several bottles of champagne, the plot rolled merrily on with ‘Rabs’ enlisted as ‘Aunt Lucy,’ ‘C harley Wyckham’s’ aunt from the regions of Brazil, ‘where the nuts grow.’ The part of ‘Lord Fancourt’ was well played by Meryl Baumer; that of ‘Jack Chcsney,’ by Jack Metcalf; and of ‘Charley Wyckham,’ by Hugh Miller. They were, respectively, in love with three other members of the cast, ‘Flla Delchev played by Eva Boss: ‘Kitty Verdun,’ by Jeanne Jobes; and ‘Amy Spcttigue by Charlotte Bell. “The real obstacles in the path to matrimony lay in the firm hand of ‘Old Man Spettiguc.’ played by Albert Birch, Who refused to sanction the marriage of either his niece.‘Amv,’and his ward‘Kitty.’ r 1927 WITTENBERGER 1 L Page One Hundred and Forty-three J “Cliarleij’s Aunt’’ L'T all’s well that ends well. The real ‘Donna Lucia D’Alvadorez,’ portrayed by Kliza- both Freed, arrived on time to straighten matters out. making a quartet of weddings when she consented to become the bride of ‘Sir Francis Chesney.’ Fred Swingle, as ‘Brassett,’ was the typical college butler.” Professor Paul K. Brees was the coach of the production: (i. Ernest Mullendore, busi- ness manager; Donald I Left, property manager; Chester Bird, stage manager, and Frederick Otto, advertising manager. The “Torch,” editorially, attacked the kind of plays now being produced by classes at the college, claiming that a better and more serious production should be the aim of each class. The “Witt” came forth, also articulating on the type of production, but believing that the plays were good enough, and were what people wanted as class plays. Below are given the extracts from both papers which caused considerable campus comment and chatter at the time: Said the Witt: “Vapid, vain, vulgar! These, in a well-chosen alliteration, characterize the presenta- tion of last night’s Senior farce. Before a house filled with three SSS. three FFF, and TXT (sympathetic sorority sisters, foolish fraternity friends, and tolerant, naughty townspeople), the Seniors gave a play well suited to the mentality of high school stu- dents. (Thanks, for the presence of some mentality!) “Of the ten players, only two displayed stage ‘presents.’ (The rest left them hanging on the Christmas tree.) What honor is left is to be divided into two parts, first and sec- ond. F.ven Knglish lords and ladies could scarcely be so depraved as to mistake a mascu- line individual for a decrepit old dame. (The cast has been heartbroken over the fact that the audience discovered the false aunt was a man. They thought they had completely fooled the 'I'd it or of the Scorch.’) “For three years such plays have featured the Junior and Senior class efforts. As a word of explanation, just three years ago a “breeze” blew in and has been here since. Xo one has heard of him being asked to blow out. No doubt they should have used the campus and the chapel for the stage settings, but the cast had no time to move the set- ting as in Shakespeare’s time. Next time advice will be asked from those who KNOW. “What’s wrong with Wittenberg? Nothing. Who says so? The Senior play cast. That’s what the alliteration should have explained and meant instead of the meaning given. The crowded house at the presentation showed that something must be done so that better attendance can be secured. Of course, the plays are not given to make money, but to show off the actors and their histrionic ability. But as the greatest critic of dra- matics now at Wittenberg College would proudly say, ‘People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.’ ” Said the Torch: “Vapid, vain, vulgar. These characterize the presentation of last night’s Senior farce. Before a house filled with sympathetic sorority sisters, fraternity brothers and tolerant townspeople, the Seniors gave a play well suited to the mentality of high school students. “The plot of ‘Charlie’s Aunt,’ if it may be flattered by that term, has not much in its favor. F.ven English lords and ladies could scarcely be so depraved in perceptive power as to mistake a masculine individual for a decrepit dame. “In one word, it was flat. Of the ten players, only Mr. Baumcr and Mr. Birch dis- played any stage presence. We did not care particularly for Mr. Baumcr’s interpreta- ton. 'I'lie honor is to be divided between Mr. Crowl and Mr. Birch. Miss Jobes and Miss Freed claim the best presentation among the women. “For three years such plays have featured the Senior and Junior class efforts. The same ill-chosen stage settings, the same cracked garden scene has smiled upon the same unconvincing final curtain. “What’s wrong with Wittenberg? Why can’t Seniors and Juniors stage a serious play? It is unbelievable that college and city theatregoers will not support such an ef- fort, just as it is unbelievable that five centuries of English playwrights have not pro- duced a serious play within the dramatic compass of Wittenberg upperclassmen. “But as the greatest playwright says in his greatest play. ‘The time is out of joint.” And as some outraged cast member will finish the quotation. ‘O cursed spite, that ever 1 was born to set it right!’ ” r 19 2 7 WITTENBERCER 1 L PaRe One Hundred and Forty-four J The Junior Plavj “Are You a Mason?” Members of the cast of Are You a Mason arc. shown left to right: Tow row.

In the beginning, so they say, MAX was the comrade of WOMAN, but she soon be- gan to display her whims and caprices, exercising a control over man that she has not relin- quished through the following centuries. “What a woman commandeth, so a man doeth.” “Are You a Mason?” was presented by members of the Junior class as their annual play production February 15, at the Fairbanks Theatre. No names were carried on the marque outside the theatre blazing forth stardom of any one member of the production, as the leads in the play were amply distributed among a half dozen comical characters. For twenty years “Amos Bloodgood” had basely deceived his wife. She had thought that he was a member of the great Masonic fraternity, and he had led her to believe that he actually was, sauntering forth every week-end for a night’s meeting with the brothers. All was well for deceitful “Amos” until it was announced by his wife that they were to visit their daughter, who had married a man, who, though not a Mason, had supposedly entered the fraternity at the word of his austere mother-in-law. The real action of the play takes place at the home of this poor man. Father-in-law and son-in-law, each believe the other to be a Mason. Each one carefully watches the other for signs and phrases calculated to fore- tell the secrets of the order. It is ludicrously funny. So. we have in the play the situation de- veloped around these characters with the others as satellites in the play, heightening the action, making situations that threaten to expose the deceivers: yet, which in the entire run of the play, is kept secret from good “Mother-in-law Bloodgood.” f 1927 WITTENBERCER 1 I Page One Hundred and Forty-five J The Junior Plaq SO WE HAYK in the play the part of “Old Amos Bloodgood” played by Arthur Cunning- ham, and of the son-in-law, “Frank Perry,” by Robert Bayless, “(ieorge Fisher,” stock- broker and former actor, was portrayed by William Fichenberg, who, in his masculine im- personage of the model, “Fanchon Armitage,” provoked gales of laughter. “Mrs. Caroline Bloodgood” was l-'lsie Wetzel. “Kva,” in active life “Mrs. Perry,” daughter of “Mrs. Blood- good.” was played by Helen Cadwallader, while her two sisters, “Annie” and “Lulu,” were Miss Louise Richison and Miss Lucille Dunlap. “Ernest Morrison,” a rising young architect, was Joseph Bullock; while the part of the demure Irish maid, “Lottie,” was taken by Lucille Colbert. “Fanchon Armitage,” shapely cloak model, was portrayed by Esterka Davidson, while comedy situations were presented by “Mr. and Mrs. John Halton,” Francis Mans and Florence Wilhelm, respectively, good farmer folk; by the invariable policeman, represented by Joseph Cotton, assisted in his wildest conceptions of his duty by the indispensable door- tender of the cabaret, who threatens by use of blackmail, at any time to “spill the beans,” played by Laurence Smith. Professor Paul R. Brees was the play coach. Donald Heft was the business manager and property manager, and George McCleary was the assistant business manager and pub- licity director. The withdrawal of William Thomson from school, after his election as man- ager of the play, forced a division of work to be made between these two remaining members of the staff. In the review of the play that followed Thursday in the Torch, the article said in part, “More than 800 college students and Springfield theatregoers were well pleased with the annual Junior class play, a farce-comedy, “Are You a Mason?” given at the Fairbanks Theatre, Tuesday evening. . . . Fourteen Juniors were well fitted to their parts and acted them accordingly.” Editorially, the same paper judged it as follows, and. of course, this is given only in part: Merry! Mushy! Mediocre! Tuesday evening we were again treated to another enact- ment of ‘Charley’s Aunt under the assumed name, however, of ‘Are You a Mason ?’ a farce three-act production selected by the Junior class for their class play of the year. Again we are faced with the question of. ‘Why do the upper classes of our college select comedies and farces upon which to place their work, time and money, not to say the time and money of the spectators, when there are so many suitable and so many much better ve- hicles to use?’ “Again we wonder why the dramatic coaching staff of our faculty is asked to direct a production of this kind when their time could be better used. “Again the players have proved to us that they are able and capable to place upon the stage for us some real play, some real drama, some interesting production, given the proper encouragement and play selection. “Again we wish to say that we have no fault to find with the direction, management, or ability of the several individuals v 'ho have to do with the production of the above-mentioned Junior class play. Our plea is for better play selection. Why not try it next year? We have done better in the past and can repeat those successes. “Of all the good acting given us in ‘Arc You a Mason?’ we feel that Mr. Cunningham’s portrayal of Mr. Bloodgood was the best. Of the ladies, we select Miss Wetzel, who did wonderfully well with the difficult part assigned her. Miss Colbert, Miss Cadwallader, Mr. Bayless, Mr. Bullock, Mr. Eichenbcrg. Mr. Mans, and Mr. Smith also deserve honorable mention.” While on Wednesday, the day following the play, both the Springfield daily papers came to the forefront with favorable comments concerning the production. Said the dramatic critic of the Springfield Daily .Yews: “It was the best class play presented in years at Wittenberg College.” Said a similar critic in the Morning Sun: Effusive mirth greeted the production —well-cast—different from the plays that one expects from college people—spontaneous with mirth.” The Witt, also appearing on Wednesday, stated, “Valid! Vivid ! Vivacious! Outstanding cast—unusually well characterized. A bright spot on a cheerless world!” So thus ended a play squabble. The audience was satisfied. The play was financially a success, and in the spring, at commencement time, the campus play, announced at this time, will be the usual, interesting, traditional tragedy, of serious parts. f 1927 WITTENBERCER 1 I Page One Hundred and Forty-six J Tlie Campus Plavj “Robin Hood” Above, shown on the outdoor woodland stage, is the cast of Robin Hood. Perhaps you can recognize the characters, but if you can't, read this brief summary and affix names to them. WITTENBERG offers much of the picturesque every year by its dramas and fetes. The annual Campus Play shares honors with the Alma Mater Fete in being the most picturesque and attractive event of the school year. The first of Wittenberg’s campus plays was given in June of 1923. Under the direction of Prof. Paul R. Brces. the Ingomar was produced with such a degree of success that the campus play came to stay as one of Wittenberg’s traditional institutions. In 192-4. the “Merchant of Venice” was presented. In 1925. Wittenberg dramatists won praise by their production of “Hamlet.” which was presented on June 9 at the “outdoor theatre.” which is one of the outstanding features in making the campus play an unusual event. Our mission in this chronicle lies in giving you a record of the campus play of 1926. the immortal “Robin Hood.” The evening was balmy and the moon was perfect. On the knoll behind Recitation Hall, was a square grassy plot, bordered on three sides by bleachers and on the fourth by a stage of unusual appear- ance. It represented the garden of Lady Marion’s castle, and was filled with trees and foliage which did not have to be painted and imported; they might have grown there for the very use which was being made of them. The audience assembled; everywhere could be heard murmurs of expectancy. The spot- [ 1927 WITTENBERGER 1 L Page One Hundred and Forty-seven J The Campus Plaij light was focused on the garden, and the campus play began. From the first entrance of the gay and carefree Robin Hood to the close of the drama, the interest never lagged, and the play went on to a triumphant close. Arvine Ulrich was incomparable as the bold and dashing vagabond-nobleman, Robin Hood.” Lady Marian. the object of Robin Hood’s affections, was gracefully portrayed by Wilma Sudhofif. Dorothy, lady in waiting to Lady Marian, was played by Roberta Raker. Dignity, firmness and self-assertion could not have been better portrayed by the famous Lady Jane herself than it was portrayed by Elsie W etzel when she took this role. Alan-a-dalc,” lover of Dorothy, and Will Scarlet. the trusty re- tainer.'. of Robin Hood, were played by Joseph Bullock and Edward Hummon. Lester Crowl played to perfection the sadly misnamed Little John.” The law and the clergy in the cast were ably represented. The redoubtable Sheriff of Nottingham was played by Meryl Hamner. The role of the jolly, imbibing, scallawag oi a monk. Friar Tuck.” was taken by Carl Zepp. John Rilling interpreted the role of the Wandering Friar.” and Joe Reese that of the Bishop of Fairdalc.” The nobility found a real scion and Lady Marian a jealous lover in Robert Bayless, who played the role of “Guy of Gisborn.” The dignity of Sir Richard of the Lea rested upon the shoulders of Arthur Cunningham. Ranson Koontz acted well the part of David of Doncaster.” William Westenbergar portrayed the role of Hugh.” The parts of Ruth” and Nan were well taken by Charlotte Bell and Eva Boss. Other members of the cast were: Pilgrim. John Landis; Soldier Number one, Karl Schneider; Out- law Number one, Robert Ingmand; Page Number one. Louise Richison; Page Number two.

BLUE KEY. national honorary booster fraternity, established a chapter of its organization on the Wittenberg College campus last year, granting a charter to the Lutheran institution through the efforts of the Boost Wittenberg Association. Since that date the difference between the two bodies has been very hard to define. The Boost Wittenberg Association is composed of. according to the most recent ruling of the group, upperclassmen, representing nearly every recognized male activity on the campus including the fraternities, the three publications, the glee club, orchestra, seminary, academy, the business manager of the college and the dean of men; while the organization known as Blue Key was originally composed of those Juniors who had served one year in the Boost Witten- berg Association. Now, as the plan passed recently by the Boost Wittenberg Association, states, the Blue Key fra- ternity has lost all its former connections with the mother organization, and has become completely divorced as to rules and laws. The new constitution of Blue Key, adopted the latter part of this year, includes the proviso that any Junior on the Wittenberg campus may become a member of Blue Key. The action also includes that membership in the Boost Wittenberg Association does not necessarily entitle the member to a seat in the councils of Blue Key. which will remain merely an advisory council to Boost W. meeting perhaps once each month. At present the president of the Boost W Asso- ciation is also the president of Blue Key. lie is Joseph Sittler. Other members include Francis Maus. Meryl Baumer.

Members of the association arc taken annually from the stalls of the three campus publications: The Torch, Wittenbergcr, and the Witt. Restrictions arc such that a man must be an upper classman, and have had a major position on the stall of one of the three publications before being admitted to membership.

OHIO BKTA CHAPTKR of Theta Alpha Phi, national honorary dramatic fraternity, was established at Wittenberg College in 1922. The “Rouge Pot,” then a thriving local dramatic fraternity, was the recipient of the charter. The purpose of the organization, as expressed in the constitution, is “to foster an interest in wholesome dramatics and provide the means for uniting socially students, alumni, and in- structors, who have histrionic talents.” Students arc eligible for membership in the fraternity after having successfully performed two major or four minor roles in recognized campus productions, or have shown proficiency in some other phase of dramatic or dramaturgic art. Honorary members are permissible according to the dictates of the national board. The national organization was founded at a meeting of the National Association of the Teachers of Speech, held in Chicago, in December, 1919. “The Cue,” a quarterly magazine, is the recognized publication of the organization. Membership in the fraternity is one of the highest honors that may be conferred on a Wittenberg College student. Officers of the local chapter include: Meryl Baumer, president; Oscar Metcalf, vice-president: and Lewis C.

ONE of the phases of instruction at Wittenberg which serves to make the college prom- inent. is the department of education. I'ndcr the direction of a capable faculty, and with the help of a national educational fraternity, Wittenberg has turned many promi- nent men into the educational field. The national professional educational fraternity which has helped with this achievement, is the Eta chapter of Kappa Phi Kappa, established at Wittenberg, May 26. 1923. Member- ship in the fraternity is limited to men whose purpose is to enter the teaching profession. The local chapter was established at Wittenberg through the efforts of I)t . Rees Edgar Tulloss, I)r. II. F. Martin, and Professor Franklin II. McNutt, who is at present regional vice-president for the western district. When Kappa Phi Kappa was established on Wittenberg campus, it adopted a definite pur- pose: “To promote the cause of public education by encouraging men of sound moral char- acter and recognized ability to engage in the study of its principles and problems. Observa- tion would seem to bear out the fact that the Wittenberg chapter is fully equipped to accom- plish this purpose. Approximately twenty-five of the members of the chapter arc residents r 19 2 7 W I T T F. N B E R G F. R I I Page One Hundred and Fifty-three J Kappa Plii Kappa of Springfield. Seven of the members who arc not connected with the college are active edu- cators in Springfield. Charles L. Harris acts as principal of Central Junior High School; Edward Brantner and Irvin B. Kuenzli are instructors at Springfield High School; Benjamin Valley and C. W. TitYany are active in the county schools: E. W. Tiffany is principal of Spring- field High School, and F. M. Shelton is superintendent of Springfield schools. With these prominent educators and eight members of the Wittenberg faculty included in the member- ship. the organization offers excellent opportunity for giving valuable assistance to under- graduates. Meetings of the group are held monthly. The first meeting of the 1926-27 school year was featured by an address by I)r. T. Bruce Birch. Dr. Birch gave a report of the proceed- ings of the International Philosophical Congress. Dr. Ludwig Reiss, exchange professor from the University of Berlin, was the speaker for the second meeting of the year. I)r. Reiss gave an address on. The Status of Herman education in Its Present State of Transition.” The next meeting had as its speaker. Dr. Sydney L. Pressey, department of psychology of Ohio State University, and Prof. F. M. Shelton, superintendent of the Springfield public schools. Dr. Pressey discussed, “The Causes of Failure in College,” while Prof. Shelton gave a report on the Ohio Educational Conference. The December meeting featured a banquet at the Bancroft Hotel, and the induction of ten men. Dr. (Icorge F. Arps, dean of the college of education at Ohio State University, discussed the “Social Trend of Education and the Need of Educational Reconstruction Through Research. The February meeting was devoted to five-minute talks by members. 'The three factors which the fraternity stresses are the professional, the social, and the scholastic. The first is supplied by the speakers at the meetings; the social factor is sup- plied by banquets and informal entertainment after discussions ; while the scholastic policy of the fraternity is marked by two decided events; the first, the educational conference, held at Wittenberg in March of each year in co-operation with the department of education, and the second, the awarding of a prize of thirty-five dollars for the best essay written on some educa- tional topic. The winner is announced at the Honor Day banquet. Rudolph Fvjen. Fresh- man, was the recipient of this year’s prize. Officers of the chapter for this year were: President, Franz J. Brickman; vice-president. Adrian G. Lebold; secretary, John M. Setzer; treasurer, L. Benjamin Valley; historian, W. Hugh Miller, and faculty advisor, Professor II. J. Arnold. At a meeting Thursday.

IJZIX(i Wittenberg’s great advance in musical education, came the installation by Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, national honorary musical fraternity, of a chapter on the Luth- eran campus. The installation was one of the most important events on the calendar this year, as it was merited recognition of the institution in a new held of activity by one of the largest national organizations in that held of work. The national organization was formed October 6. 1893, at the New Kngland Conserva- tory of Music, in Boston, for the purpose of developing the best and truest fraternal spirit, the mutual welfare, and the brotherhood of musical students, the advancement of music in America, and of loyalty to the Alma Mater. At first the organization was merely a club, but in 1920 a policy of expansion was adopted to form a college musical fraternity along the same lines, with the object of placing chapters in schools of recognized excellence. At present there are 35 active chapters, with a total membership of 2.240. The colors of the national organization arc black and gold. f 1927 WITTENBERGER 1 L Page One Hundred and Fifty-five J Plii Mu Alpha Sinfonia Phi Mu, the local musical group, was organized early in the fall of 1926, as a direct re- sult of the inter-fraternity sing held in the spring of 1925, under the direction of Frederick Lewis Bach.

I'he local chapter is striving to carry out the dictates of the purposes of the national body by fostering, in its first year of existence, a series of spring concert programs, which take in four complete entertainment numbers. The first of the numbers consisted of the presental of the “Taming of the Shrew.” by Walton Pyre, noted actor, on March 22: the second, on April 5, a piano recital by Miss Florence Trumbull, noted American pianist and teacher: the third. May 6, by Jacques Gordon, violinist and composer, now concertmeister of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra ; and the last, Haydn’s “Creation. presented by both the Men’s and Women’s Glee Clubs, in conjunction with the College Symphony Orchestra, on May 19. Dr. A. W. Martin, Dean of the Department of Music at Miami University, and supreme vice-president of the national organization, was in charge of the installation ceremonies of the local chapter. He was assisted by five members of the group from Miami University, Cleveland Bohnet. noted pianist of the Chicago Conservatory of Music, and Dr. C. T. Pihlblad and Professor John Bennett Ham. The local group also had the honor of being the first one installed using the new robes and ritual of the national organization.

M. C. A. Junior College is opened in Dayton, under the auspices of the Dayton V. M. C. A. and the Wittenberg extension department. Prof. H. J. Arnold, head of the extension department, said re- cently. Liberal arts subjects, to be taught in late after- noon and evening classes by Wittenberg faculty members, will he offered especially to appeal to high school graduates of Dayton now working and un- able to register in full-time arts college. Two year’s work will he offered, classes meeting daily, accord- ing to the plans now being formulated. First semes- ter of the 1927-28 term will open with Freshman work available and will include three and two-hour courses in public speaking. English, history, foreign language, physical education and mathematics. First semester of the following school year will see the offering of both Freshman and Sophomore sub- jects. Professor Arnold says. The Wittenberg-Y. M. C. A. Junior College is made possible through co-operation with the Day- ton Y. M. C. A., which has space available for lab- oratories and class rooms and which will have in complete charge all administrative work in con- nection with the Junior College. A new building is in process of erection in Dayton now which will be used by the Y. M. C. A. there for the Wittenberg classes as they are added to the Junior College curriculum. The Junior College will maintain the same scholarship requirements held by Wittenberg. It will be a well equipped special school, offering col- lege credit of high standard, according to Professor Arnold. The new school will not interfere with other extension work in Dayton, he says, but will mark a major step forward for Wittenberg in the educational field. Fundamentalism Prevails, Religious Surveij Reveals FROM THE TORCH IT WAS Solomon, wasn’t it. who let fall a remark that of the making of books there is no end. That may have been true in Solomon’s day. but an industry of even more enormous proportions now holds un- disputed sway in the paper-consuming field—that of making questionnaires. The most recent attempt has been an effort to compress all the law and the prophets into “yes and no answers to nine questions. This subtle questionnaire was distributed to 300 students here, December 16. 1926, and is being used as a part of a national religious survey conducted by the Church Advertising Do you believe in immortalitv? Department of the International Advertising Association. The first question, as might be expected, was: “Do you believe in God?” Of relative unimportance is the question whether God is per- sonal or impersonal, finite or in- finite. for it found no place on the question card. 301 answered affirm- atively. with five disposed to reply in the negative. Assuming the three hundred and six were repre- sentative of Wittenberg's thousand students, there should be found fourteen unbelievers in this insti- tution. The remaining eight questions with compilations of replies follow: [ WHERE PREACHERS START FROM THE TORCH ANY kind of a job. just so there’s money in it, is a familiar aphorism to college students.

Westenbarger docs an eight-hour duly as night clerk at the Ban- croft hotel, while Lebold sells steam engines and boilers during week-ends through northwestern Ohio.

The score stood four to six with but an inning left to play. And so, when Cooney died at first, and Burrows did the same, A pallor wreathed the features of the patrons of the game. A straggling few got up to go, leaving there the rest. With that hope which springs eternal within the human breast. For they thought if only Casey could get a whack at that. They'd put up even money with Casey at the bat. But Flynn preceded Casey, and likewise so did Blake. And the former was a pudding and the latter was a fake; So on that stricken multitude a death-like silence sat. For there seemed but little chance of Casey's getting to the bat. But Flynn let drive a single to the wonderment of all. And the much despised Blakey tore the cover off the ball. And when the dust had lifted and they saw what occurred. There was Blakey safe on second, and Flynn a-hugging third. Then from the gladdened multitude went up a joyous yell. It bounded from the mountain top and rattled in the dell. It struck upon the hillside, and rebounded on the flat. For Casey, mighty Casey, was advancing to the bat. There was ease in Casey's manner as he stepped into his place. There was pride in Casey's bearing and a smile on Casey's face, And when responding to the cheers he lightly doffed his hat. Xo stranger in the crowd could doubt, 'twas Casey at the bat. [ 1927 WITTENBERCER 1 I Page One Hundred and Sixty-onc J True American Ten thousand eyes were on him as he rubbed bis hands with dirt. Five thousand tongues applauded as he wiped them on his shirt: And while the writhing pitcher ground the ball into his hip— Defiance gleamed from Casey’s eye—a sneer curled Casey’s lip. And now the leather-covered sphere came hurtling through the air. And Casey stood a-watching it. haughty grandeur there; Close by the sturdy batsman the ball unheeded sped— That hain’t my style,” said Casey— Strike one,” the umpire said. From the bleachers black with people there rose a sullen roar. Like the beating of the storm waves on a stern and distant shore, Kill him! kill the Umpire!” shouted some one from the stand— And it’s likely they’d have done it had not Casey raised his hand. W ith a smile of Christian charity great Casey’s visage shone, 1 le stilled the rising tumult and he bade the game go on; I le signalled to the pitcher and again the spheroid llew. Hut Casey still ignored it and the Umpire said, Strike two.” Fraud! yelled the maddened thousands, and the echo answered “Fraud, r.ut one scornful look from Casey and the audience was awed; They saw his face grow stern and cold; they saw his muscles strain. And they knew that Casey would not let that ball go by again. The sneer is gone from Casey’s lip; his teeth are clenched with hate, He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate; And now the pitcher holds the ball, and now he lets it go, And now the air is shattered by the force of Casey’s blow. Oh! somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright. The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light, And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout; But there is no joy in Mudville—mighty Casey has Struck Out. r 1927 WITTENBERCER 1 I Page One Hundred and Sixty-two J Board of Athletic Control THK BOARD OF ATHLETIC CONTROL of Wittenberg College was created by the Board of Di- rectors of the institution at the semi-annual meeting in December, 1922. Now entering upon its fifth year of activity, it lias proved of immeasurable value in the athletic history of the college, super- vising the arrangement of schedules by all Wittenberg varsity teams, fostering the building of the new Stadium, and acting as a jury that gives all rewards at the end of the athletic year. Most recent in the judicial steps taken by the council was the decision to remain as a part of the newly formed Buckeye Conference, organized last year by a combine of six of the leading colleges in southwestern Ohio. Besides Wittenberg, the five other schools arc: Ohio Wesleyan, Miami. Ohio Uni- versity. Cincinnati, and Denison. They organized at the end of the football season in 1925. hoping that such a combine would protect each school in the making up of athletic schedules in the future, becoming each year more and more difficult because of the ever-growing, unwieldiness of the already much-too- large Ohio Conference, then consisting of twenty-two schools, situated all over the state. During the past year the Ohio Conference requested the Buckeye Association to change its name, claiming that the similarity might be embarrassing to both organizations, but the latter group, at a meeting held the first of November, decided that this was not necessary, and further asked that the standings in the two associations be kept separate. A crisis was averted, although the two organizations are now practically as far apart as when first organized. Ten men compose the board, six in an active voting capacity, and the four others in an advisory capacity. The regular board members are: II. O. Portz, Dr. W. C. Beaver, Dr. T. B. Birch. Professor T. K. Thompson. Professor K. A. Jensen, and Charles B. Zimmerman. The four advisory members are: Coach K. R. Godfrey, Assistant Coach William Trautwein. E. C. Janson. and Joseph Sittler. Dr. Beaver is the president of the board: Portz. secretary: and Professor Jensen, treasurer. Joseph Sittler. the student representative, is given a place on the board because of the presidency of the Boo t Wittenberg Association, which is closely affiliated with the board in fostering the athletic program of the college.

[ 1927 WITTENBERG ER 1 I Page One Hundred and Sixty-three J The Coaches WHEN’ the epilogue of any man is read—particularly the one of any man who has been associated in the training of men—it isn't of so much importance to the self-appointed critic as to what that man did with those men when he had them more or less under his thumb, but rather, what hey did for themselves after they had ventured out by themselves into the gentle, cruel bangings oi the wide, wide world. When James Renick, sports editor of the Springfield Daily Sun. reviewing the football season of 1926, and attempting to keep the Hot Stove League of the pigskin world warm during the winter time months, brought upon himself the idea of selecting an all-Ohio coaches team, paralleling his decisions on those of the famous Hugh Fullerton, of national fame, he said of the Godfrey of today, working with men. on either a muddy—muddy or dustv-hard gridiron: Coach K. R. Godfrey of Wittenberg, wins fifth place in a field of twenty-three, according to fans interviewed, although most of them claim that he is second to none in instructing a line. The erratic disposition of some of his teams in rising to great strength against a strong opponent and then falling before a weaker one or getting by by only an eyelash, like the Cincinnati game last fall, or the Miami game in 1925, keep him from ranking higher. Then. too. it seems impossible for him to beat Wesleyan. That Godfrey has great ability is proven by the score or more of college and high school coaches, tutored by him, now holding good positions.” Mac Eachron. of Oberlin; Holes, of Wooster: Gauthier, of Wesleyan, and Meyers, of St. Xavier, were ranked ahead of Godfrey, with a field of Livingston, of Denison; Lange, of Muskingum; Pedcn. of Ohio University: Dinner, of Ottcrbein; Rider, of Miami, and IJaujan, oi Dayton, following close behind. Although not ranked first in the selections. Renick seemed to strike the keynote in Godfrey’s char- acter. when he said that he could teach. Lange, of Muskingum, is a former pupil of Godfrey’s, lie won an Ohio Conference football championship in 1925, then followed by annexing the basketball title in 1926. Detrick, two times coach of the championship Mt. Union five, and all-Ohio forward for three years while at Wittenberg, is another of his proteges. Then follow a list of others, more or less prominent, all oi whom are successful. Aligned with coaching, the two major active sports at Wittenberg in the fall and winter. Godfrey has instituted a unique coaching school for the summer months of 1927. having placed on his rather di- verse staff of instructors men who arc familiar with nearly every type of football played in the country. They are: Sam S. Willaman, assistant to Wilcc at Ohio State; Tom Leib, assistant to Little, at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin: Lange, of Muskingum; Detrick, of Ohio Wesleyan; W. J. Trautwcin. of Witten- berg; and William Cartledge, of Steubenville High School. All six men have enviable records, and the school will be unique in the fact that more than one successful football system will be taught. Associated with Godfrey at Wittenberg, is William J. Trautwcin, otherwise known as “Big Hill. an all-Ohio selection in both football and basketball for several years during scholastic days at school. He acts as assistant in football and basketball, and is head coach of the baseball team. Roger Blough, former Susquehanna backficld star, and now a student at 1 lamina Divinity School, is the Freshman foot- ball coach. Godfrey coaches both track and tennis teams. The three Wittenberg athletic coaches are shown above.

Earl Morris “W IIKRE elTorl is put forth, credit will l� c given.” It’s true in the college classroom; it’s true on the football field; and it will be true where the hitherto unrecognized cheerleaders arc concerned, according to the college Board of Athletic Control. The team may play the game, but it only partially wins it. and that little part which is has nothing to say about is due to the efforts of the chccrlcadiug corps. They all work hard. It’s work, lots of labor, to get thrilling yells out of several thousand people. So the edict has been issued that cheerleaders shall be given awards. For the first year of service a cardinal sweater coat, with C L” on the upper right f rout and the class year numerals on the left hand pocket, will be awarded. For the second year the award will be a silver watch charm in the shape of a megaphone, with the letter W upon it; while for the third year, the candidates will receive a gold-plated watch charm, of the same style. The fourth year the members of the cheering squad will receive a cardinal sweater with a large W” and the letters C L” placed in the lower left hand corner. Cheerleaders beginning their work in the sophomore year will be eligible for their first, second and fourth year awards; those begin- ning in their third year will be entitled to the first and fourth year can win the coveted W provided that they have shown an excellent leadership during that year. If the cheerleader begins work in his freshman year, he must serve four years to win the “ Y sweater award. As for the student manager, lie always has been given a W” sweater. To him a great deal of credit is due. It is not the easiest task in the world to serve thirty or forty grumpy athletes, or thirty or forty playful college boys.

IT IS always interesting to note past history, particularly when it seems to have some little hearing on present or future affairs, so we feel no hesitancy in delving down into the grimy dope bucket of the past football season, resurrecting, as they were, the little words and phrases that preceded Wittenberg’s first contest on her thirty-fifth year of inter-collegiate history, in the football world. It was way back in 1X92. that Wittenberg took up intercollegiate football, and the season wasn't at all auspicious as the fighting Lutherans lost all of the three games played. The next year Wittenberg won two of the scheduled five games, and inaugurated relations with Ohio State, who trounced the Luth- erans soundly. 36-10. Xot daunted, the next year found State groveling in the dust, a victim of the scathing Tiger attack. Wittenberg's team was newly outfitted after this great event had occurred, and although the Cardinal and Cream walloped State two other times in succession, the larger school, when once the master, faded the Lutheran team seven times in succession before the relationship was broken off in 1910. The race in the Buckeye loop, somewhat less luminous because of the resumption of athletic re- lations with State, was expected to be an unusually keen one. Preseason games indicated that Ohio Wesleyan was unusually strong: that Denison was able to amass as strong an attack as ever; that Miami had a clever running attack and a wonderful defense: that the University of Cincinnati had seemingly recovered from a several year’s slump and was to have a powerful eleven; while Ohio University was expected to have as strong a team as the year before when she proved troublesome for every con- tender for the conference title. Wittenberg, with eight letter men back in the fold, expected to have one of the strongest teams in years, due to the great abundance of Freshman material, which was not only counted upon for several varsity stars, but promised the Lutherans a strong reserve list, a thing that had been lacking for several, hard, lean years. The spirit that imbued the squad was so intense that even the eight lettermen couldn't rest assured of having regular berths on the first eleven. It seemed as if Wittenberg at last wasn't to have a first and second team, but an interchangeable squad of some thirty men. The football schedule included eight games. The home games included an easy pre-season contest with Kent State Normal; a rest-over game with Rio Grande, following the Ohio State fracas; and three hard contests with Miami. Marietta and Ohio University. Interspersed with the home games were those with Ohio State. Ohio Wesleyan, and Cincinnati. Hopeful of walloping Ohio State, almost sure of putting the Indian sign on Cincinnati. Wittenberg followers were firmly convinced that the time had come to throw aside the dreadful, dark cloak of the almost proverbial Wesleyan jinx. f 1927 WITTENBERGER ] I Page One Hundred and Sixty-seven J Football Won, 6; Lost, 2 Scores of tbe Season Wittenberg - - - 27 Kent State Normal - - - 0 Wittenberg - - - 14 Ohio State University - - 40 Wittenberg - - - 54 Rio Grande College - - - 7 Wittenberg - - 7 Miami University - - - - 0 Wittenberg - - - 40 Marietta College - - - - 0 Wittenberg - - - 6 Ohio Wesleyan University - 7 Wittenberg - - - 15 University of Cincinnati - 13 Wittenberg - - 7 Ohio University - - - - 6 Season Total Wittenberg - - - 170 Opponents.......................73 Conference Total Wittenberg - - - 35 Opponents ------ 26 Individual Scoring Maurer - Points by Touchdowns 36 Points by Kicks After Touchdowns 0 Total Points 36 Schroeder 24 9 33 Ulrich - - 24 0 24 Grant ■ - 18 0 18 Bradley - 6 8 14 Price - - 12 0 12 Armstrong ■ - 12 0 12 Van Hyning - ■ - 6 1 7 Beemon - 6 0 6 Theisen - - - - 2 (Safety at Cincinnati) 2 r 1927 WITTEN BERGER 1 I Page One Hundred and Sixty-eight J Football Wittenberg, 27; Kent State, 0 WITTENBERG’S “Fighting Lutherans litcr- crally splashed their way to a 27 to 0 vic- tory over the team representing Kent State Normal, Saturday, September 25, in the first game of the season played on the Stadium field. Rain began to fall soon after the game started, making open field running difficult and soaking the pigskin until fumbles were frequent. This same downpour chilled the 3,500 spectators who had turned out to see the Godfrey team in action for the first time in the year. The Lutherans were slow to start, and engaged the up-staters in a punting duel for the entire first quarter. During the remainder of the game, how- ever, the Cardinal and Cream warriors hit their proper stride and soon rolled up a comfortable lead, keeping the ball almost the entire time in Kent’s territory. Long runs by Wittenberg’s backs featured the game, Wittenberg scoring in the second quarter, twice in the third quarter, and once in the last period. Bradley added two points via the drop- kick route after touchdowns, and “Duckcy” Schroder kicked the goal after the final Wittenberg counter. The first Wittenberg touchdown came in the second quarter, when McDermott attempted to kick from behind his goal line after the Tigers had marched the entire length of the field, only to be held for downs at the very goal line. In attempting his kick, he juggled the ball, then hurriedly booted it into the outstretched arms of Bus Becmon. who stepped over a surprised team for Wittenberg’s first marker of the year. To Armstrong goes the credit for Wittenberg's second touchdown, when he circled right end for a touchdown soon after the beginning of the third period; while “Jimmy” Price in two plays carried the ball over the line for the third marker. The fourth quarter was pretty to watch, due to long runs of Maurer. Grant, Kcyscr, and Ulrich, each man carrying the ball for gains of thirty yards or more, with the latter running across the line tor a touchdown. Ulrich, as the time of the game dim- inished. gained yard after yard, on long end runs. The game perhaps does not tell the entire story of the game as Wittenberg was much stronger than the margin of victory indicated. Lutheran backs carried the ball 355 yards, while the line held the Kent back field to gains that only totaled 25 yards. Wittenberg resorted only to end runs and off- tackle smashes for their offensive attempts, reserv- ing their strength for the Ohio State game the week following. Everybody was in fine shape after the game, each man saw some service in a part of the fracas, and everything pointed to a smooth running attack against the State squad. wmam THERE is always a thrill running up and down your spine when you know that there arc a ten-second man or two on a football team, that the field is more or less dry. that their hips arc slippery, and most likely one of them will be Riven the ball on the next play to run—for a touch down! In Armstrong and Maurer. Wittenberg had two such threat men. always ready for a chance to gallop to the opponent's goal line, always piled upon by the opposing team at the least provocation. It isn't neces- sary to go into detail concerning their playing. Perhaps Armstrong is best remembered by his feat of banging two touchdowns over on a be- wildered Wesleyan team (1925) that expecting the crippled Tigers to curl up and die. giving them an easy game, were knocked off their feet by the galloping redhead. As for Vic. when he finally started running the ends against Ohio State, there was plenty of trouble. One touchdown, the first, was the product of his nimble feet. Armstrong was the field leader of the Lutherans the past year. Maurer is the captain-elect. Though out of the game this season with injuries, the major part of the time. Red won honorable mention on the all-Ohio, while in his Junior year he handily won a berth on the first eleven. Maurer was the Wittenberg representative on practically every Buckeye coach's mythical team for this year. f 1927 WITTENBERG ER 1 I Page One Hundred and Sixty-nine J F ootball Ohio State, 40; Wittenberg, 14 PRACTICALLY tlie entire student body of the college migrated to Columbus for the resume of the Ohio State-Wittenberg feud on October 2. State won. 40 to 14. but the attack of the Luth- erans showed form that would carry them, so the spectators predicted, high among the leaders in the Buckeye loop race. Wittenberg was outscored and outplayed dur- ing the early part of the game, trailing at the end of the first half. 26 to 0. The State backs, aided by almost perfect interference, gained consistently through the Lutheran’s line, and around end, scor- ing once in the first quarter and three times in the second period. Wittenberg held the Buckeyes for one touch- down in each of the final quarters, while uncover- ing an offensive that resulted in two touchdowns. Wittenberg’s first counter of the game came when Van Hyning snatched a pass from Price over the Buck’s goal line. Armstrong had raced 52 yards after receiving a pass, and Maurer had run around left end for fifteen yards, paving the way for the touchdown. Bradley kicked goal. Five minutes later State punted out of bounds on Wittenberg’s 30-yard line, and on the next play Maurer stepped around end on a play that brought •.he entire 23. HM) spectators to their feet, when lie galloped through a broken field, racing 70 yards for the second Lutheran touchdown. Bradley again annexed the extra point, and Coach Wilce sent eight members of his first team back into the game. Karow, Marck and Eby proved to be the thorns in Wittenberg’s defensive play, the former with his piercing battering of the line, and the latter two with their long end runs, which were aided by al- most perfect interference, were almost impossible to stop. Both coaches substituted at frequent intervals during the game, and Wittenberg followers were pleased to note that the reserves that filled the gaps in the Lutheran’s line-up were of the same caliber as the men who had started the game, making true tile pre-season the first of the season prediction that there would be not be a regular, unchangeable varsity eleven during the year. In addition to the thousand students that jour- neyed to the game, five hundred Springfielders ac- companied the team to Columbus, the largest body, according to State authorities, to ever accompany a team to one of the pre-season games. Despite the fact that State had a decided, ruthless, rugged bat- tering style of play, the Lutherans emerged from the game without any serious injuries, to prepare for the stop-gap game with Rio Grande at home the next week. TIIF.Y say that the ends are hard to hold down on a Buckeye Conference football team; that tackle is always a Erecarious post, and that guards have to c of mammoth proportions to hold any argument at all with opposing linemen. Wittenberg had the best of them all. Roy Miller, shown at the extreme left, was perhaps the fastest moving guard on the Lutheran eleven, in addition to being one of its heaviest men; Big Bill Theisen. next to him in the picture, was big in everything but stature. So full of fight was he that he was acting captain when Armstrong was out of the lineup. Bill received honorable mention on nearly every state athletic selection of a mythical all-Ohio, tackle from the fullback berth last year, little need be said. He was in there all the time, ally.

Coach Godfrey’s steam roller took its spite out on Kio Grande, flat- tening the visitors. 54 to 7. The Cardinal and Cream needed only one more touchdown to gain for itself the name of A Point a Minute Machine. Stars galore cropped out in the contest, if it could he called that, but the outstanding bit of grid work in the whole game was Joe Keyser’s 48-yard gallop for six points in the last quarter, after in- tercepting a pass in midfield. On his romp for goal. Joe side-stepped, dodged and eluded the en- tire Rio team. Joe also reeled off a 40-yard sprint around right end in the initial quarter. This dash brought the oval to the 20-yard line from whence Jimmy Grant and Schrocdcr bucked the line for the first touchdown a minute later. This first score was marked up exactly five minutes after the starting signal sounded. Schroeder proceeded to boot the ball between the uprights for the extra point and Wittenberg was leading, 7 to 0. Grant scored his first collegiate touchdown when he followed perfect interference around right end for the second score. Schroeder’s trained toe added the extra point. Both of these markers were assembled in the opening period before the invaders had yet received a chance to show their line oi goods on the offense. A temporary let-down and a lucky break followed by rapid thrusts of football gave Rio Grande their first and only counter of the game when Oder sneaked over for a touchdown. Coach Godfrey speedily stopped this short rally by sending in ten fresh, first string men, Schroeder being the only member of the starting team to re- main in the game. From then on it was a slaughter of the innocent. The Lutherans tore into Rio Grande, battering their way for six more touch- downs. Schroeder crashed over for Wittenberg's next touchdown, and added the extra point from a field goal; Maurer galloped over for the next; Armstrong dashed 55 yards for the next; while Maurer outran the whole opposing team in order to count with the sixth touchdown. Van llvning kicked goal. With but a few more minutes to play, and an entire substitute team in the lineup Schroeder again went over the line for another touchdown. There- after it was merely a struggle to see how far the subs could carry the ball. There was no further scoring. The game was no true test of the ability of the Lutherans, as the Rio Grande team was one of the weakest to ever play on the Stadium field. cFADDEN. a Sophomore, easily won an end on the varsity team. Tall and rangy, although lacking a little in experience, the varsity felt his loss keenly when he was forced to the hos- pital. a victim of blood poisoning. Van Hyning. another Sophomore, showed up well at end. He capably filled McFad- den's or Theisen's shoes, giving the var- sity three excellent wingmen ready for action at any time. Creager. although a substitute, showed promise of developing into a real football player. To Robert ( Dutch ) Miller. Sophomore, goes much credit for Wittenberg's excellent showing. Having everything a good center should have, including a fine physique, that still allowed him to move down the field faster than the ends themselves, an accurate passer, and a fighting lineman in the wake of strong opposition, he almost won a position on the mythical all-Buckeye team in his first year of Conference competition. All four men will be back next year, ready to don the harness for a march to the association championship. r 1927 WITTENBERCER 1 I Page One Hundred and Seventy-one J Football Wittenberg, 7; Miami, 0 WITTICN'BKRG played its Homecoming” game with Miami under a downpour of rain, winning a 7 to 0 decision, after the two teams had grappled more or less uncertainly for an hour on a soggy field, kept, only by the covering of green turf, from becoming a sea of mud. Old grads, abbetted by an enthusiastic, though wet student body, and Springfield fans. 8.000 enmasse. urged the Wittenberg team onward, while Miami was en- couraged by a band of 500 pilgrims that braved the rigors of the day. The game resulted from the very first into a de- fensive affair, with Stryker of Miami, pitted against Bradley and Price for Wittenberg, in a punting duel. Wittenberg’s boots, due to the accuracy of Price had the edge in the encounter, gaining a little groundage in each exchange. Fans were stupified by the uncanny show of accuracy with which Jimmy” placed the ball on most every corner of the field, as seemed his whim. The entire first period was devoted to kicking, the only other plays being resorted to being one in which Bradley attempted a fake place kick from the 15-yard line, which resulted in a fifteen-yard pass to Armstrong. The rest of the quarter was uneventful. Miami intercepted two Lutheran tosses in the second period, while nine were grounded. In the third period rain commenced to fall in earnest, and both teams fumbled consistently, al- though both elevens were trying hard to put across a score that would result in what seemed to be the winning points of the game. After an exchange of punts, each one of which gained consistently for Wittenberg, and a short kick by Stryker, which gave the Lutherans the ball on the Miami 15-yard line, Schroeder hit the line for a yard, followed on the next play, a faked buck, by Maurer circling the line for the only touchdown of the game. Schroeder saved the Lutherans from any chance of losing by kicking goal. The final quarter was uneventful, neither team making a first down, but with Miami attempting desperately to annex points to at least tie the score. Miami failed to complete a single forward pass, and the game grew more and more into their territory due to the undiminishing accuracy of Price’s punt- ing. McFadden blocked one of Wilson’s kicks in this stanza, covering the ball on their five-yard line, and as three line bucks failed to gain, with Schroeder making ready for a place kick, the game ended. Wittenberg’s backs doubled the forty-six yards gained by the Oxford ball carriers, while ’’Bill’’ Theiscn and Bob Miller had a big day on the line. Coach Godfrey kept • shelly Grant under cover, but when he unloosened him against Marietta, the crowd was as bewildered as the opposition, when in a flash of form in the early minutes, he galloped through a broken field for a touchdown. Again at Cincinnati it was Grant’s bucks that saved the day. Key- ser. in his first year of college football, also showed a pair of fleet heels, while Maus, one of the best line buckers and roll blockers on the team displayed his same steady form of the year before. To Jimmy Price, quarter, and punter extra- ordinary. is due a great deal of praise for his able defense of the Wittenberg goal line, in addition to his fine generalship in advancing the ball over the enemy’s line for points.

Although Wit- tenberg played decidedly careless football, and showed little of the vigor that characterized playing in the Miami game, the River City team was unable to cope with the heavier and more experienced Lutheran team. During the first quarter, only, did the down- state team have the advantage when it kept the ball constantly in Wittenberg territory, although lack- ing the punch to put across a score. Only the weight and freshness of the lineup that Coach God- frey enlisted in the fray after the first few minutes seemed to be the deciding factor in the fracas. Armstrong. Price and Keyser were missing from the Lutheran backfield when the game started, all three suffering from injuries sustained in the Miami game. Fumbles seemed to be on the entire menu for the afternoon, the Wittenberg team messing up no less than eleven plays during the contest. While none of these misplavs proved costly, they pre- sented Marietta ample opportunity which happily for the home team she was unable to utilize. Marietta completed five forward passes in the first quarter and failed to score by the matter of a few inches in another heave to the goal line. The passing game netted the down-state team 80 yards during the afternoon. It was not until the second quarter that Wittenberg was able to push across a touchdown, while in the following quarter, after a slight show of form the Lutheran team settled down to the fumbling game after annexing two extra markers. In the final period, with the entire Marietta team out on its feet, the Lutherans ran wild, scoring three touchdowns, and helping salve their consciences for three entire periods of me- diocre playing. It was in this fracas that Wittenberg uncovered an unheard-of star in the diminutive Shelly Grant, erstwhile of reposive bench fame. who. on entering the game for the second time stepped over the goal line for two successive Lutheran touchdowns, trip- ping through tackle for 45 yards in the first sensa- tion. and reeling oft 65 yards in his second trip to the marker. Wittenberg's line, unusually weak the first half, showed plenty of offensive drive in the final quar- ters, but the playing of the backfield. in spite of the brilliancy of Grant, and the steady plugging of Schroeder. was marred by an over excess of fumbling. The Wittenberg team was scheduled for a rest during the next week, which, according to the facial demeanor of Coach Godfrey after the game, prom- ised to be a real restful period of hard, hard work, in preparation for the trek to Delaware in the an- nual attempt to defeat the Ohio Wesleyan eleven, aided by the famous Jinx. MEN Armstrong was forced from the Lutheran line-up due to a bad shoulder, Tink Ulrich was shifted from quarter to half a great part of the time to fill the gap in the backfield. Al- though only a Sophomore, he showed wonderful form, and with the year's ex- perience should be one of the most ver- satile men on the squad next year. Frank Beatty was substitute center, and was forced, due to the hardihood of Miller, to sit on the sidelines the greater part of the season. He's capable, big and husky, an accurate passer, and a good substitute. Keplinger. another Sophomore husky, was a capable line “sub. Young was the biggest man on the team. His slowness of foot kept him on the sidelines a greater part of the time, although in the time he played few gains were made through his side of the line. All four men will return in the fall, and by coincidence all are Sophomores, with the possibility of two more years of varsity life still to untold. r 1927 WITTENBERGER 1 I Page One Hundred and Seventy-three | Football Ohio Weslevjan, 7; Wittenberg, 6 SHADOW'S that grew long an l dark on Edward’s Field at Delaware on the evening of November 6. as an aftermath to the now famous struggle between Ohio Wesleyan and Wittenberg, were not less in darkness than the shadows that had gathered in the hearts of the Lutheran’s clamoring support- ers. when, by a peculiar twist of fate, the Battling Bishops resurrected a seemingly lost contest from the clutches of defeat, winning by a single point, 7 to 6. Wittenberg’s players seemed to be playing in a daze during the entire game, and failed to exhibit any of the dash and power that had characterized their playing in the previous games. Only in the last quarter did they show any ability at advancing the ball. Maurer carrying it to the Wesleyan 15-yard mark in this period, but fumbled at the critical moment, the ball going into the hands of the alert Bishops. Fifteen hundred rooters, almost depleting the campus from life, and the city from sport-loving fans, swooped down on the up-state town, expect- ing to see ample revenge by the lighting Lutheran team for the twenty defeats at the hands of the Bishops on previous visits to Delaware. Everyone took the game as a matter-of-fact thing, and looked on with the utmost complacency when Wittenberg scored in the first period, nor was the crowd particularly perturbed when the Red and Black team galloped through for gain after gain, almost at will. Even the touchdown scored by the Methodists seemed to be only a minor bit of amusement. The game opened with Wesleyan kicking. Wit- tenberg failed to gain on a scries of line plays, and Price dropped back to kick on the third down. Dis- aster seemed to threaten when Abbey. Wesleyan guard, blocked the punt, but the Wittenberg day was saved, temporarily, when Eddie Blickle fumbled, the ball falling into the outstretched arms of “Jim- my Price, who streaked 75 yards to score Witten- berg’s only touchdown. Bradley’s try for goal was blocked. Then things began to happen. With Blickle and Phillips knifing the line ior gain after gain, Wesleyan assumed the entire of- fensive, Wittenberg’s only plays coming through the clever punting of Jimmy Price. In the second quarter these two Bishops advanced the ball to the goal line, a pass from Blickle to Philips netting the touchdown, and a kick by Blickle breaking the tie score. The remainder of the game found Wesleyan playing the ball almost all of the time in the Luth- eran territory, but unable to put it across. Wit- tenberg was completely outplayed. Wesleyan reg- istered 16 first downs to 4 for Wittenberg: and the Bishops also gained 244 yards during the afternoon while Wittenberg was amassing 122. Wesleyan completed four passes to gain 39 yards, while Wit- tenberg failed to complete any of her 9 attempts. IILC honor of being the second largest man on the varsity is accorded to accorded to Parker Libby, Sophomore tackle. With Young, half of a line is complete. Libby showed up particularly well against Ohio State, where his bulk served as a reversible reaction for the line as- saults of State backs. D u c k y Schroedcr was the best fullback on the team. He could run interference well, buck the line consistently for a few yards, and in addition could drop-kick at critical moments with accuracy. Clad- den. a second year man. was an ever- ready sub lineman. MacFarren was one of the fastest backfield men on the squad. Although not given a chance to show his talents to a great extent, a good High School reputation, augmented by fast footwork on the practice field, should count him as a reliable for a position for next year. All four men are members of the Sophomore class, which will return almost a full team of varsity calibre next year. f 1927 WITTENBERGER 1 I Page One Hundred and Seventy-four I Football Wittenberg, 15; Cincinnati, 13 WITH twelve thousand Cincinnati fans crowded into Xippert Stadium to sec the U. of C. wallop the Wittenberg eleven on November 13. the Fighting Tigers, snarling from the sting of the defeat at the hands of Ohio Wes- leyan. themselves snatched victory from defeat, nosing out the Bearcats. 15 to 13. The fans were continually kept in a state of ecstasy by the seething type of game displayed; the batter, batter attack of the backficlds, interspersed by numerous passes, connected by the almost in- spired work of both lines, making the affair a bat- tle royal from the very beginning. The home town fans saw a rejuvenated Bobcat eleven, spurred on by the scintillating work of a heavy backfield. score in both the second and third periods, gain a five-point margin, which was only surrendered within a few minutes of the final gun, making the spectacular finish of the Wittenberg team read like that of a college movie. Cincy started the game with a flood of passes, which were pretty to watch, but which failed to score points, due principally to Brant’s recovery of a fumbled ball at a critical moment. In the punt- ing duel which followed, Wittenberg gained little by little consistently. Then with both Bradley and Schroeder bucking the line up to the five-yard mark. the Lutherans made their first score, when Ulrich galloped around end for a touchdown. In the second quarter Theisen pinned Bryant behind his goal line when a wild pass by the Cin- cinnati center was recovered by the clever Bearcat half, giving Wittenberg two more points via the safety route. The Bearcats then made their first score, when, after the ball had been advanced by two forward passes, Filger skirted end for the marker, with Bryant annexing the extra point. Cincy scored another in the third period, but failed to make the extra point. Wittenberg’s decid- ing score came in the final quarter when, after a series of bucks by Mans and Grant, who had just then been substituted. Vic” Maurer hurdled left tackle for another touchdown. The playing of Theisen at end. of both Millers, and the entire backfield was bordering on the sen- sational. Cincy, however, outgained Wittenberg, annexing 185 yards to 180, and making 11 first downs to Wittenberg's 9. I’rice punted eleven times, gain- ing 445 yards; while Bryant punted 6 times tor 230 yards. Maurer ran back a kickoff for 42 yards and another for 50 yards. Costly to the Lutheran team, was the disability of Roy Miller, who dislocated a knee. KOBELTZ marooned many an aspirant opponent back on his way through the Wittenberg line for a yard or two this year, or else, in excitement gath- ered the opposing backfield together in a heap behind the line of scrimmage for a several yard loss; Border was used only as a substitute, inexperience keeping him on the bench: Bradley filled in as full- back; and Cunningham, shifted from cen- ter to tackle, filled the position well. The first two men named arc Sophomores, while the latter two are lettermen of two years standing. Bradley's best game of the year was played against Ohio Wes- leyan. when almost out of his head, he bucked the line consistently for many a successive yard. Cunningham was forced to sit on the bench the major part of the time due to his inexperience at the tackle position. All four men will return to school for another whirl at the gridiron game next year.

Wittenberg closes the football season of 1927 with a win. Ohio University is the victim. The score, 7 to 6. Ohio had scored a touchdown in the final minute of the game. Into the fray was rushed Jeffrey, to kick the goal, to at least tie the score. Almost hysterical, he was led off the field. It was one of the most pathetic sights in football, or in any game. To Vic” Maurer goes the credit for making Wit- tenberg’s score. It was made early in the game. Receiving a punt from the toe of Sweeney, he struggled and squirmed, side-stepped and straight- armed his way over a broken field for 30 yards to the twenty-yard mark, from which on the next play he sailed once again through the Ohio team for a touchdown. Bradley made the extra point. The remainder of the first half was played mostly in Ohio territory. In the second period Ohio threatened, but could not score until the final min- utes of the game. The defeat of Ohio by Wittenberg gave Ohio Wesleyan the Buckeye Association championship. On the same day Wesleyan defeated Denison 9 to 0. The two teams had been tied for first place. The high point of the early part of the game for the Ohio team in the second quarter, found the team but one yard from the goal line. It was first down. Doran and McKinley, in two attempts through the line gained only by inches. On the final attempt the ball still was on the right side of the line. Price punted out of danger. From that time on both teams played conserva- tive ball, until, in the final quarter. Ohio, sensing impending defeat, threw discretion to the winds and attempted a series of forward passes. A series of passes won for them their touchdown, McKinley completing five in the final minutes. THF.RE is praise for men that are always trying. John Borza.

Owing to the great number of young talent being developed he didn't get his full number of quarters, but the board of athletic control awarded him his first varsity V. [ 1927 WITTENBERCER ] I Page One Hundred and Seventy-six J Football Eight Grid Games for 1927 EIGHT football games have been definitely scheduled for 1927, with four at-home games featuring the card. There is a possibility that either Toledo University or Bethany College will appear here as the fifth home game, but the four already insured arc with Ohio Wesleyan, Findlay, Cincinnati, and Ashland; with Ohio State, Ohio Uni- versity. Miami, and the University of Dayton to be encountered on foreign fields. According to members oi the scheduling com- mittee, games were offered to several members of the Ohio Conference, including Obcrlin, Wooster. Case and Western Reserve, but none of the schools would make a playing agreement. Wittenberg will open the season by meeting Findlay at the Stadium, September 24. Although unknown to Wittenberg fans, the up-state team was the champion of the Little Ohio Conference this year. The Ohio State- Wittenberg game will be held at the big stadium in Columbus on October 1. where the Lutheran team is popular in sport circles because of her showing against State this year. The regular Buckeye Conference season will be- gin October 8, when the University of Cincinnati invades the Lutheran Stadium. Ashland will be the attraction the following week, October 15. The next two weeks will find Wittenberg on foreign fields, the trip to Athens and Oxford being carded for that time. The main attraction at the local Stadium of the year will be the annual Ohio Wesleyan game which is scheduled for November 12, and will be the first time in three years that the Bishops have played on the Stadium field. The closing game of the season will be with the University of Dayton, Thanksgiving Day. at Day- ton. This will be the first game of a five-year con- tract. The Gem City aggregation finished its Ohio Conference season this year without the loss of a single game. In the past football season Wittenberg ath- letes fared well in selections on mythical all-Ohio teams, as well as those for the Buckeye Associa- tion. only. “Vic” Maurer was almost a universal selection from the entire state, for one of the halves, with Thciscn and Becmon, placing on many of the teams at end and guard. Dutch” Miller, in his first year of college football, was among the leaders for the center berth on the Association team, besides receiving honorable mention from nearly every coach in the state. Wittenberg will only lose three men for the 1927 season. They are: Armstrong. Thciscn, and Kundc, all three veterans of three years standing. Nearly the entire squad of this year will return in the fall, and with additions from the present first year class it is expected that the season will even surpass this one for making grid history.

FOR the first time in several years, the Frosh” football team was able to give the varsity some real stiff opposition, presenting a spirited attack, due to the clever coaching of both Art Blough and Dutch' Trautwein. Culminating the football season, the frosh were given a chance to exhibit some of their skill, before a Thanksgiving Day audience. The Torch carries the following story con- cerning the encounter; “The habits of years are hard to break, but the ‘green of the ‘frosh’ showed itself superior to the re- serves Thanksgiving day when it floundered over the latter by a 8 to 0 score before 50 palpitant souls. But these are only the prosaic facts of a dream, the thrill and throb of which lay in the 'frosh' rise from their drab hopes all season to the joyous heights of victory as a climax of the Lutheran 1926 grid season. Playing in the most horrible brand of football weather imaginable, the handful of fans received a just reward in seeing the first year men adminiser a spanking to the upperclassmen. The first year men lost little time in scoring. Following an exchange of punts which placed the ball on Reserves’ own ten yard line. Beatty of the Reserves made a bad pass from center and McFarren re- covered behind his goal line, was pinned under an avalanche of freshmen for a safety. Both teams played with apparent timidity the remainder of the half. Then at the beginning of the third period, fleet and elusive Brickie of the ‘frosh’ outfit scooped up the water-soaked oval from the Reserve kickoff on his 20-yard marker, cantered around left end. shak- ing off would-be tacklers, and raced 80 yards through the entire two teams for a touchdown. “Captain Kunde’s Reserves then braced and attempted to even the score, but fate, with dusk de- scending and Pluvius’ playing on the elements, proved more than they could overcome. 'Bus' Beemon. varsity guard, pulled the stellar role for the losers when he dashed 30 yards off tackle for the second long- est gain of the game, but was pulled down on his six-yard line. The Reserves threatened once in the final period when they recovered a fumble on the ‘frosh’ ten-yard line. However in four line bucks they lost two yards.

Keyser. and Bauer; second row. Cruner. manager; Morton. Baden. Van Metre. Young, and Coach Godfrey. Armstrong was the captain during the past season. Bauer is captain-elect. IT IS seldom that a Wittenberg College team has gone through so long a season of basketball games, and so successfully, as during the past year. For the past two years the Lutheran teams have had the hardest form of “tough luck.” Always of a scrappy nature, but never quite strong enough to beat the best teams, forced the Lutherans to he content with being at the bottom of the heap. However, despite this fact, fans thought they glimpsed a silver lining, and in the freshman team of last year this seemed amply justified. It may be said now that the frosh,” with consistency, walloped the varsity. So that when the season rolled around for this year, it found Armstrong back at his for- ward berth, with little Joe Keyser. of the frosh crew, as his running mate. Bauer, last year’s center, was back in uniform, while Baden, substitute tip-off man during the last season, was also ready for duty. At the guards were Knotts. McFadden, and Van Meter, who immediately gained considerable fame, in addition to the efforts of “Jimmy” Young and Morton, both of whom seemed too small for college basket- ball. but who were fast enough to warrant attention from Coach Godfrey. So the season began. Keyser and Armstrong formed the forwards, McFadden and Van Metre were the inter-changeable centers, while Ralph Bauer was shifted to back guard with Knotts as a running mate. The season was on the whole, exciting. Each game at Memorial Hall seemed to grow more exciting than the last one, so that the fans began to flock in and completely fill the huge building. f 1927 WITTENBERGER 1 I Page One Hundred and Sevonty-nine J Basketball Season 1926-1927 December 10 - Wittenberg 1 )eceinber 27 - Wittenberg January 1 - - Wittenberg January 8 - - Wittenberg January 14- - Wittenberg January 19- - Wittenberg January 22 - - Wittenberg January 29- - Wittenberg February 5 - - Wittenberg February 8 - - Wittenberg February 11 - Wittenberg February 18 - Wittenberg February 22 - Wittenberg February 20 - Wittenberg March 1 - - - Wittenberg March 5 - - - Wittenberg March 7 - - - Wittenberg March 8 - - - Wittenberg Totals .

Hut this year, in spite of the fact that Wittenberg centers were forced to bow to the tall, elongated tip-off art- ists of rival institu- tions. the Tiger court team won a majority of the games played, displaying, strange to say. a powerful offense, and a very weak defense. In her lineup, as one of the daily papers aptly characterized it. the Lutheran coach had three forwards, and was forced to content himself with one back guard. All four men were of the best in rank- ing them with others in the Conference, but the inability of the defense to stop an opposi- tion rush of points forced the forwards to score too many points a game to win con- sistently. For they, too, had to cope with strong defenses. In all these games statistics show that the two forwards, Armstrong and Keyscr, were forced to make at least 30 points in each to win. Of course they were aided in a great degree by Knotts, playing at guard, who helped to run up the score materially, scoring 42 field goals to 43 for Kcyser and 34 for Arm- strong in the important Buckeye Conference games : but the fact remained that Knotts was primarily a forward, the guard position was entirely new to him, and that the experience and steady playing of Bauer, aided by the Lutheran center, could not cope entirely with a cleverly planned attack. Despite this fact, Wittenberg won many games, but lost several by a close margin when a victory would have been most accept- able and was needed to secure the Lutheran standing in the loop race. The first game of the season scheduled with Ohio State was called off at the last minute by the ath- letic authorities at Columbus, when it was f o u n d that, though the Witten- berg contract for the pre-season game had had been received, it had not been filed, and the Lutheran in- stitution had not been given a place on the State basketball schedule. So the hope of Wittenberg follow- ers, that a victory over the Buckeyes might overshadow the defeat in football, was lost, and the Lutherans forced to inaugurate their basketball season in the little Indiana town of Manchester, with the comparatively unknown Manchester College team. Manchester proceeded to tame the trav- eling Tigers in this first contest, the Iloosier loopmen coming out on top of a 50 to 32 strug- gle, which basketball followers did not con- sider so bad as the Manchester team had but a week previous, held Purdue to a 3-point victory, and were reputed to have one of the fastest moving teams in the state, a section of the country that has become nationally known for its wonderful basketball prowess. Before the game had come to a close, the In- diana team had seen some of the Ohio “light- ning” exhibited, however, when Armstrong and Kevser. in whirlwind fashion, counted up nearly every point the Lutherans made, in the final half of the game. Then the Lutherans returned to Spring- field. and after a week’s grilling on the local V. M. C. A. court, proceeded to win decisive MEMORIAL HALL Where Wittenberg plays her at home basketball games. One o( the largest floors in the state. Can crowd nearly (our thousand people in it. f 1927 WITTENBERGER 1 I Page One Hundred and Eighty-one J Basketball victories over both (Icorgia Tech and Cornell. The Southern team tasted a 40 to 37 defeat, and played bang-up ball the entire time, keeping the fans on the tips of their toes until the very end of the game. In the last pre-association game, another thriller with Cornell, found the Ithaca team flopping, after forc- ing the Lutherans all the way, to lose by live points, 30 to 25. The Wittenberg team then began to think about the more serious things in life, and began prepara- tions for the games that were to count most in the final reckoning of the season’s success, viz., those games with the five other members of the Buckeye Conference. The first game was scheduled with Ohio I'nivcrsity on the Memorial Hall floor for Jan- uary 7. Wittenberg emerged from the struggle, vic- tor. by the score of 33 to 27. The Lutherans were forced, through their inability to control the tip-off to resort to the defensive most of the time, but al- ways kept within scoring distance of the Ohio team, even when their powerful offensive was counting with the greatest regularity. To Homer Knotts, with his unerring long distance shots, placed through the loop at the most critical times, is due the Wit- tenberg victory, but to give him all the credit would be unfair, for with diminutive “Joe” Keyscr as key man in the defensive action, and teaming with Arm- strong to score with dependable regularity, the Tigers were always in the running. Bauer at back guard, up in the air. taking them off the back board, was always the reliable stalwart in the real defensive play of the team. Wittenberg literally reached into the realm of the grimmest uncertainty and pulled out a victory, to the astonishment of everybody present. So they said—for they had seen—Witten- berg had a fighting, grappling team. Miami was the next prey of the Lutherans, los- ing a hard-fought decision, by only two points. 40 to 38. on the Memorial Hall floor. The hall was packed. The score was tied at 38 all, with only a minute left to play. The evening had been hectic, 'fhe play had been fast and furious. It seemed that the game would go into the extra minutes. Then Keyscr. spurting, after an evening of lethargic playing, endeared himself in the hearts of those who couldn’t have stood the tension bauer much longer, by counting the win- baden ning field goal—exactly with fif- McFADDEN , . ' teen seconds to plav. i notts C 1927 WITTEN BERCER 1 I Page One Hundred and Eighty-two J Basketball was again the big gun on the Lutheran offense, although Armstrong and Kcyser closely followed him. Leahy, small and speedy, was the thorn in the Wittenberg side. The Cardinal and Cream led at the end of the first half, 20 to 16, but the “Big Red managed to tie the score during the second half, when the score had reached the 34 mark. From then on the game was nip and tuck. Leahy counted for Miami: Knotts evened for Wittenberg; Arm- strong put the Lutherans in the lead with a fielder, and then Richardson tied with a toss. One minute. A tie Fifteen seconds. Fielder by Keyser. (lame. Then Wittenberg ventured out of town, took on another Big Red team, trounced Denison. 44 to 39. in another fast stepping affair, and returned home in the lead in the Buckeye loop race. Keyser and Armstrong, scintillating with all the conceivable brilliancy possible in two closely guarded forwards, led the Wittenberg team in scoring, playing a fast offensive game that could not be stopped by the vet- eran Denison crew, led by Jenkins, Nicholson, and Ashbrook. Then came a period of the darkest woe. Dis- playing a complete reversal from their early season form, the Lutherans dropped their next two con- tests with Ohio Wesleyan and Cincinnati, both on foreign doors. Wittenberg was literally drubbed. Wesleyan counted 50 points while the Lutheran team was weakly annexing a paltry 34; and Cincinnati doubled the score, 55 to 27. The latter contest was possibly the worst contest played by Wittenberg during the year. It seemed as if the Wesleyan game had taken the heart out of the (Jodfrev-coached team. The man-to-man defense at Wesleyan, aided by the unheard of scoring prowess of Captain “Buck” Lammc. who counted over 20 of the points for the Bishops, coupled with the inability to stop big “Red” Bolton at Cincy, were the only alibis. So the Bearcats brought a confidently purring crew to Springfield the next week. But the expres- sion of firm, egotistic, assured superiority on the visages of the invaders was changed to an expression of unbelievable bewilderment, when the Tiger team, back home in its lair, brought the audience contin- ually to its feet by completely clawing the Bearcat into a whipped submission, re- venging the defeat of the week ARknottsNG before, by a marvelous somebaek, van meter winning by the margin of two YOUNG r 1927 WITTENBERCER 1 I Pajjc One Hundred and Eighty-three J Basketball points. The score was 38 to 36. Bauer, shifted to the tip-off post, had completely sub- dued Bolton; while Baden, substituted for Bauer, put out of the game, carried on the good work. Armstrong was on a scoring rampage for W ittenberg, with Keyser and Knotts following closely behind. Cincy led at the half, 22 to 18. And the latter half, ac- cording to spectators, even doubled the seem- ingly impassably thrillable Miami game. It seemed at the time that the more games Wit- tenberg played the more thrills the team con- cocted with their opponents to present to the assemblage. So then, taking on a traveling team for relaxation during the week, the Wittenberg loopmen hung the drapes on the strong Uni- versity of West Virginia basketball five, 52-42. It was another fast and furious game, much more exciting than the score would seem to indicate. The ability of both Armstrong and Keyser to find the loop at will kept Witten- berg comfortably in the lead, but the moun- taineers displayed rare form. With four play- ers topping the six-foot mark in their line-up, they displayed a smooth aerial offense, toss- ing the ball high around the court, too high for Wittenberg’s pigmy team to grasp. But the Southerners could not stand the pace. Too many nights of straight playing had sapped their reserve strength. The ability of the Lutheran team to an- nex free charity tosses failed to win the Den- ison game at the end of the week. February 11. Seventeen of the 33 points garnered by the Tiger team was by the free throw route. Wittenberg, however, trailed at the half, al- most as usual, 14 to 13. The rally of the “Big Red” team came early in the second half. But it didn’t last long, the game reverting into one of those see-saw affairs. Knotts had trouble counting long shots, but with Keyser leading the scoring with 17 points, and Armstrong closely following with 11, the Lutheran team was kept in the running; until the final min- utes of play, gave a more or less hectic vic- tory to the Baptists, score, 42-33. Jenkins, with seven field goals, was high point man for the “Big Red.” Ohio Wesleyan brought along the jinx, when she invaded Springfield, February 18. But the Bishops were hard pressed to subdue the Tigers, and only snatched what seemed like a lost game from the fire, winning 46-43. During the first half it appeared as if Wit- tenberg was to have everything its own way. as Detrick’s starting line-up of second-string- ers was unable to cope with the smooth Luth- eran attack. However, the Wesleyan team was not discouraged, and though in the rear at the end of the half, by a score of 23 to 15. came into the fray in the second period with an entirely fresh team, one that was able to outlast the tiring Wittenberg regulars. The loss of McFadden to the Lutheran defense ten minutes before the final whistle was the point that seemed to turn the score in favor of the Bishops. In the first half, although Wesleyan was reputed to play a man-to-man game, she allowed McFadden and Bauer to go uncovered while the Wittenberg team, on the other hand, played its customary zone defense. At the beginning of the second half, how- ever, each team adopted the man-to-man sys- tem, and the odds seemed to go in favor of the Bishops. The University of Dayton “Flyers” were swamped in a special contest the following Tuesday, with the Cardinal and Cream having little difficulty in solving the defense of the Clem City aggregation, scoring almost at will. The final score was 54-25, with the three Wit- tenberg mainstays entering the scoring columns almost equally. Then, recovering from a threatened dras- tic slump, Wittenberg journeyed to Oxford, and trounced the Miami aggregation in a thrilling over-time game, 42 to 40. It is to Ralph Van Meter, who had replaced the ban- ished “Red” Armstrong, that credit for the victory is due. as he counted the second fielder in the overtime period, that gave Wittenberg the two-point margin of victory. The game had ended at 38 all. and in the overtime period both Keyser and Leahy looped one through, again knotting the count. Otterbein was easy. The score was 31 to 26. This game gave the home fans their last f 1927 WITTENBERGER 1 L Page One Hundred and Eighty-four J Basketball opportunity to see the Wittenberg team in action. It was not a fitting finale for the season, but a dragging, sordid, every-day game. There was nothing spectacular. The close game that had been anticipated was not to be seen. The spectators were disappointed. Then the team took to the road for three games, playing them on almost successive nights at Athens, Marietta, and Dayton. At Athens, the basketeers met a rejuvenated Bobcat team, and with visions of a tie with Ohio W esleyan looming in the event of a vic- tory over the Ohio team, the Lutherans muffed their chance, losing by a score of 40 to 31. in a game that was devoid of thrills. As a result of this encounter W ittenberg went into a tie with the University of Cincinnati for third and fourth position honors. Marietta, docile enough on the Spring- field court, was only defeated by a score of 48 to 46. Again Van Meter came to the fore, when in the last few seconds of play lie tossed in the winning marker. Trott, of Marietta, counted 13 fielders in this game, while his run- ning mate made 12 points. The W ittenberg team played in ill-luck, with the scoring equally divided. At Dayton, in the final game of the sea- son. the Flyers extended the Lutherans to win a 32 to 29 decision. Armstrong, playing his last game for Wittenberg, was high scorer, counting 19 points. Wittenberg led at the half, due to his spectacular playing, 15 to 14. When the smoke of the conflict in the Buckeye loop had cleared away it was dis- covered that Kcyser and Armstrong were at the top of the loop in scoring for the season. Kcyser had 43 field goals and 28 fouls to his credit for a grand total of 114 points, while “Army” closely followed him with 110 points, consisting of 32 field goals and 46 fouls. Lammc, of Wesleyan, was third, with 108 points; Leahy, of Miami, fourth, 101 points; Bolton, of Cincinnati, fifth, 100 points; Rich- ardson, Miami, sixth, 94 points; Burkholder, Ohio, seventh. 91 points; Jenkins, Denison, eighth, 91 points; and Knotts, Wittenberg, ninth, with 90 points, distributed between 41 goals and 8 fouls. Keyser was selected as the only Witten- berg player on the mythical All-Buckeye five. 'I'he first string team was peculiar in that it placed three Sophomores in the line-up. Key- ser with Leahy of Miami, formed the for- wards; Nicholson of Denison, drew the center position; while Jenkins of Denison, and Blickle of Wesleyan, were named the guards. The second team named was Lammc of Wes- leyan. and Du Bois of Ohio, at the forwards; Richardson of Miami, at center; and Bolton and Myers, both of Cincinnati, at the guards. In the standing of the Ohio Conference, from which the Buckeye Association at- tempted to divorce its standings during the year, Wittenberg was ninth in ranking. Mus- kingum won the championship, winning 13 and losing only 1 game, with Denison second, with 11 wins and 3 defeats. Other teams to top Wittenberg were: Akron, Case. Ohio Wesleyan, Kenyon, and Heidelberg. f 1927 WITTENBERCER 1 I Pane One Hundred and Eighty-five J Basket Ball for 1927—1928 THE possibility that Wittenberg will con- tinue her good work on the basketball floor next year is very bright at the pres- ent time. With Captain P auer, and prac- tically the entire team of this year back, in spite of the loss of Armstrong, there seems to be every possibility of molding a cham- pionship team. Hauer is a likely fixture at one of the guard positions, while Joe Keyset will easily win one of the forward berths. Knotts, who in the presence of so much material for for- ward positions this year, contentedly played guard, will likely be switched to the other forward as Keyset's running mate. Van Metre and McFadden, regular centers of this year, will be back but they are likely to meet with stiff opposition from Charles Picking, an Urbana boy, who is six feet, four inches tall, and of the same rangy build that made 1 lorn famous in basketball circles. Then other Freshman material will fill the other guard position and will no doubt cause some of the regulars of this year’s team to step lively in order to maintain their positions. Particular among these are “Johnny” Apple and “Bus” Trautwein, both of whom have had considerable high school experience and have showed well in practice sessions with the varsity this year. Then there are Schulz, all-Indiana center of last year, who handles himself well, and Johnny Brickels, a forward. 'The schedule of games has not yet been announced for next season.

BASEBALL is once again becoming a popular sport on the Wittenberg College campus, al- though tor the last few years Wittenberg has enjoyed anything but a successful season in regard to the number of games won and lost. But with a greater interest constantly being shown by the student body, and the coining of new and better material for the make-up of future teams, the pros- pect that Wittenberg will once again enter the ranks of champions is deemed much brighter than heretofore. The beginning of the 1926 season found Coach Trautwein forced to mould a combination around four veteran players, in addition to the dearth of good substitutes and a bad playing field. Playing its first season as a member of the Buckeye As- sociation. the Lutherans finished in the second di- vision. The same problem has confronted him this year. However, with each game Wittenberg is playing a better brand of ball. In 1926 the team played eleven games, winning but three. So far this year, with eight games already played, there is but one victory, and one postponement. But strange to say, even in the defeated role that she is constantly forced to take, Wittenberg is playing better ball than last year. Competition is keen in the Association. 'flic 1926 season was featured by three wins, the victories coming over Cedarvillc and Denison. The Lutherans seemed to have the Indian sign over the Big Red. winning both of their contests from them. The first game of the season was more or less of a track meet with Wittenberg walloping Cedar- ville 21 to 9. Bradley pitched for the Wittenbergers. with Jack Barr bhind the bat. Armstrong. Barr. Dunklc and Beichley led the team in hitting in a game featured by the taking advantage of numer- ous misplays and errors. Miami walloped the Lutherans 8 to 0 in the next fracas with the Wittenberg batsmen constantly worried by the fast speed ball of Gansby. A vic- tory over Denison followed, and then two defeats at the hands of Ohio Wesleyan and the University of Cincinnati. f 1927 WITTENBERCER 1 I Page One Hundred and Eighty-seven J Baseball 1926 and 1927 In the next game Wittenberg again defeated Den- ison. this time by a score of 8 to 3. It was the first home game of the season. Jack Harr was the star of tlie game. In addition to connecting three times in four times at bat for base hits, he tallied twice, made several spectacular foul catches, and gave Bradley, who pitched the game, invincible support. Bullock made several brilliant catches in the out- field. while to Armstrong goes the credit for start- ing Wittenberg’s scoring, when he made a home run to deep center in the third inning. Many misplays featured the next loss to Miami. Voting pitched good ball un- til relieved by Bradley, while the latter was nearly invincible, and. but for er- rors. would have easily won the game. Score: Witten- berg. 2; Miami. 11. The Lutherans dropped to the cellar after the next game with Ohio university, who walloped the Witten- berg team. 7 to 2. Again many errors featured the contest. Bullock, pitching, was steady for six in- nings. but weakened in the seventh, and poor sup- port gave the Ohioans the victory. Beichlcy was the batting star of the game, making four hits in four times at bat. For the fifth time during the year Ohio Wesleyan rubbed the Lutheran noses in the dust. Score, Ohio Wesleyan. 10; Wittenberg, 1. In spite of the loss, it was a good game, featured by timely hitting on the part of the Methodists, with few errors by either team. Cincinnati barely nosed out the Wittenberg team in the final home game of the season. Score, 8 to 6. Bullock performed well on the mound, but was given poor support in the field. The score was tied at 6 all in the ninth inning, but in the tenth, the Bearcats combined two errors, a bit. and a sacri- fice to push over two runs and to win the game. Captain Kthan Allen, of the Cincinnati team, now with the Cincinnati Reds, aided materially in win- ning the game with a home run in the final frame. The Lutherans continued their losing streak at Athens, but lost only by an 8 to 2 score. Bradley, who pitched marvelous ball, was given poor sup- port. while Fuller, the Ohio pitcher, was driven from the mound in the fourth inning when Arm- strong knocked a home run with the bases full. The 1927 season opened with live regulars of last year returning to play the game. Antioch walloped the Lutherans in the first contest. 14 to 6. It was poorly played, from the Lutheran standpoint, with Mac Barr and Bradley pitching, but receiving ter- rible support. The inability to hit in the pinches cost the Lutherans the next game, when Deni- son walloped them. 8 to I. I lie same cause gave them their third defeat. Ohio Wesleyan again annexed a win at the Wit- tenbergers’ expense, when the Lutheran batsmen failed to hit in the pinches. Thompson, the Wes- leyan liurler, allowed but four safe blows the en- tire afternoon, while his team-mates turned their paltry five hits off Joe Bullock into winning runs. Bullock struck out six of the Wesleyan bat- ters. The Lutherans then lost another 8 to 1 con- test, when Ohio University was met at Athens. Mac Barr allowed only seven hits, but passed twelve men. Barfoot. pitching for Ohio, fanned fourteen batsmen, and gave but four hits. Arm- strong was the shining defensive light ior the Wittenberg team with several spectacular catches in center field.

Swan held the Lutheran hat- ters completely at his mercy, only three run- ners reaching first base. Harr pitched a good game, allowing but seven scattered hits. Nine errors behind his pitching helped to account for the defeat. Rain caused the postponement of the Cincinnati game, scheduled for April 28. In the next game of the season Miami walloped the Lutherans when the Wittenberg team invaded Oxford. The score was 10 to 1. with the Miami team never in danger of defeat. Hits by Tuccin- ardi and Baker accounted for Wittenberg’s lone run. while Mac Barr was wild and received poor sup- port. Wittenberg’s first vic- tory of the season came on the memorable day of Saturday. May 7. when the Lutherans rallied late in the game with Ohio University to win, 11 to 4. With Joe Bullock pitching masterful ball, the team for the first time in the year, re- covered sufficiently from its lethargic atti- tude, to give air-tight support. Only in the third inning did Bullock falter, when the Ohio aggregation made three of their four runs. He gave them only six scattered hits, fanned ten. and bequeathed but five excursions to first base. Wittenberg scored a run apiece in the first, third and fifth innings, while in the sixth they added two tallies, followed by four and two in the two final rounds of the game. The game produced three other Lutheran stars, in the persons of Armstrong, Price and Tuccinardi, who assembled some of the health- iest swats seen on the Wittenberg diamond. Armstrong led with three sizzling singles and scored two runs; Price collected two singles. hut crossed the plate thrice; while Tuccinardi by slam- ming out two long doubles into left field, accounted for four runs. The fielding of both teams was neither good nor bad. Although they displayed more punch than at any other time during this seas- on. the Wittenberg crew lost another game to Miami on May 11. by a 12 to 7 score. The weather took the snap out of the game. Miami, threatened by de- feat for the first time this year, played real baseball, while the Lutheran team was unable to take advantage of the opportunities of- fered to score. Bullock and Barr, both pitch- ing a masterful game, were forced to be content with ragged support once again. There were eight errors chalked up in favor of the Witten- berg team. Games that remain on the schedule for the rest of the season include another argument with the University of Dayton nine, and with Cincinnati, both away from home: with Deni- son. here; and with Ohio Wesleyan at Dela- ware.

WITTKXBKRG has never been at her best in track competition. Due to the fact that proper facilities have never been at hand for training men. or that there were enough men in the stu- dent body interested in the sport, track was not listed even as a minor activity until three years ago. Last year in the Buckeye Association meet at Cincinnati. Henry James won fourth place for Witten- berg by tying with Behan of Miami, in the high jump, while Victor Maurer and Jack Dolbeer, entered in the dashes, were not able to place in the tryouts. Henry James and Gerald Bradley were contestants in the Big Six meet held at Obcrlin. This year there has been a greater dearth of track material. Maurer. Bradley, and Mowcry, with a relay team, were entered in the Ohio Relays at Columbus, but failed to cause any furore in the scoring. Wittenberg was overwhelmed in a meet with Denison following the Relays. [ 1927 WITTENBERCER 1 I Page One Hundred and Ninety J First Year in Intercollegiate Tennis Insets ot Wittenberg's tennis team that represented the Lutheran institution in her first year of intercollegiate competition, show left to right: Fred Swingle. William Guard. William Sigmund, and William I homson. WITTENBERG'S advent into the field ot intercollegiate tennis competition was not as encouraging as might be. but despite the fact that the Lutheran quartet failed to annex a single match, plans for Ins season seem to progress as promising a better record at the end of the season for the varsity squad. Wittenberg played five matches with other Buckeye Conference teams, including Deni- son, Ohio Wesleyan, Cincinnati, and Ohio University. Only one match was won in the entire series, that by Swingle at Ohio University, when he defeated Xewhard, 3-6. 6-1, 6-2. The first match of the season was played on the local courts with Denison as the opponent of the Cardinal and Cream. The Wittenberg team was composed of Thomson. Swingle, Guard and Lytle. Lytle showed the best form of a sadly inexperienced and out-of-practice team, when he forced Richardson of Denison to play at top speed to win. Ohio Wesleyan won all matches in the second contest staged at Delaware on May 12. while Cin- cinnati in a visit to Springfield on its way to play Ohio University, made a clean sweep of all matches on May 14. Bill Sigmund substituted for Swingle in this match. Throughout the season from match to match, the playing of the Wittenberg team showed much improvement, although Denison walloped them unmercifully at Granville, May 21. In the match at Athens, on the 22nd. Swingle annexed the lone points the Lutherans made during the entire season. Perhaps this year the situation will be entirely different in regard to intercollegiate tennis partici- pation. The Board of Athletic Control, while not officially recognizing it to any great extent, has set aside a small amount of money to care for the incidentals connected with having matches with other colleges in the state. In the future a coach may be obtained to teach the fine points of the game. The lack of proper facilities for spring practice furnished the other net men a decided advantage over the Lutherans, most schools having hard wood or cement courts for early spring training, while all the Lutherans could boast was practice on soggy clay courts. [ 1927 WITTENBERCER 1 I Page One Hundred and Ninety-one J Wittenberg Pioneers in Ohio College Golf Wittenberg's inter-collegiate golf team is shown above with the sextet that battled them from Ohio State. The first five boys from the left are from State, while George Lang is next, then another State man. Kobcrt Ingmand. Joe Kcyscr. and Cap- tain Phillip Stephenson. WITTENBERG entered the intercollegiate golf field last year for the first time, engaging four Ohio schools as her opponents. They were: Ohio State University, Ohio Wesleyan. Antioch, and the University of Dayton. The idea to give the Lutheran school a varsity golf team was brought about as a result of the annual faculty-student golf tourney, held annually in the spring of each year, which, during the past several years has uncovered some very excellent golfing material in the student body. So, observing this, K. G. Lind set about to give Wittenberg intercollegiate golf. The golf team, selected by several qualifying rounds at the Municipal course, found Philip Stephenson at the helm as captain, with the three other regular members consisting of George Lang, Robert Ingmand. and Joseph Keyscr. The team made its debut in intercollegiate circles by playing host to the aggregation from the Uni- versity of Dayton at the Municipal links. At the end of the afternoon, that of April 23. 1926, the Gem City lads decided that Wittenberg knew a little more than they about the mystical Scotch game. They were completely subdued. 12 to 0. The second match found the University of Dayton acting as host to the Wittenberg team on the Miami Valley course at Dayton. After a complete circuit of the many sand traps and bunkers of the peculiarly difficult Dayton course, the Lutherans again accosted Dayton’s quartet with a score of 9 - to 2 , losing only a portion of the afternoon's argument. The winning streak couldn't last forever, yet it took Ohio State the entire day to prove supremacy over the Lutheran aggregation. State came to Springfield. May 15. The match was a thirty-six-hole affair, and at the end of the eighteenth hole found the two teams tied at six points each. In the after- noon. State took the lead and finished four points to the good. Score: Ohio State. 14; Wittenberg. 10. Wittenberg came home from Delaware, after meeting Ohio Wesleyan in a long time match of thirty- six holes enmeshed in a tie with the Methodists. 12 to 12. Wesleyan, characteristically came to Spring- field the next week, and putted the Lutherans off the greens, winning 10K’ to U4. Antioch had the honor of closing the season, and proceeded to trim the Lutherans by the score of 9 to 3. Stephenson led the Lutheran golfers in points scored, annexing a total of 13 for the season, with Joe Kevser trailing with 0' 2 points. Lang was third with 7 points, and Ingmand last with 5 points. The Athletic Board of Control has not yet placed golf on the recognized athletic schedule. This year Joseph Kevser will captain the team, with George Lang arranging the games. As yet there has been no special schedule arranged, but it is expected that following the student-faculty tourney there will be sev- eral matches arranged with other schools. r 1927 WITTENBERGER 1 I Page One Hundred and Ninety-two J Intramural Sports V - w Soltball Champions 1926 - Phi (lamina Delta Bowling Champions 1926-1927 Alpha Tau Omega Intramural Tennis Champion 1926 Clarence Smith Intramural Golf Champion 1926 Philip Stephenson THKR K are many authorities in the field of physical culture, and also athletic directors of large universities and colleges, who believe that there is a great deal more merit in a large participation in intramural sports on a college campus, rather than the excessive scheduling of inter-collegiate contests in a few of the so-called major sports. There are too many fun-loving and athletic young Americans who care for body-building and wholesome recreation, think these men, to restrict the college athletic life of any one man. for the major- ity of men, in order that the school might attain state-wide and even national recognition in sports, displaying the prowess, carefully groomed, of only a few of the many students at that school. For many years Wittenberg college has assumed the attitude that inter-collegiate compe- tition offered enough in the realm of athletics for the men on the campus. Put as the student body has increased by leaps and bounds it has been found necessary to find a means for ath- letic recreation for the men on the campus, as it was literally impossible to carry a large num- ber of candidates on the various inter-collegiate competing teams, in order to satisfy that lust for general competition on the part of everyone. Intramural sports are the most popular on the campus. There have been shown many would-be athletic prodigies of hitherto obscure fame. There have been men uncovered that were relegated upward to the varsity squad after a trial in the intramural “bushes.” During the past school year intramural sports have been confined to participation in bowl- ing. softball, tennis and golf. As yet due to the lack of a gymnasium the college has been un- able to introduce swimming and basketball as intramural activities, and has also neglected to infuse boxing and wrestling as a part of the Lutheran man’s college life. [ 1927 WITTENBERGER Page One Hundred and Ninety-three ] 1926 Softball League Champs Boxing and wrestling are frowned upon by the Buck- eye Association as possible material for intercollegiate competition, while the same association heartily endorses its use in intramural life as a definite means of settling war-like, vociferous tenden- cies of the undergraduates on the campus in particular. Volley ball and hand ball, popular with many as stren- uous indoor games, will be instituted as soon as the col- lege can build a gymnasium.

However, in regard to the active sports, softball seems to be the liveliest. Says one “sob” sister on a local newspaper staff: “It is wonderful to see those manly young men galloping about, so full of life. W’im, W'igor and Witality!” she exclaims, and then adds that. “It is almost too impossible to believe. Such perfect lounge lizards, yet such perfect heroes.” and she rolled her eyes in a talkative fashion that indicated that her heart had been touched, not, perhaps, by one of the gallants, as one would at first suspect, but by them all. Every day they play. The Phi Psis perambulate under the very wheels of the Madison avenue “Toonervilles”; the Betas cavort in their historic back yard; the Pi Kaps literally play in the Chi Delts front yard; the Phi Cams can’t keep away and play with the Pi Kaps; the Sadhe Alephs run to the athletic field when they participate in the sport: the Kappa Phis and A. T. O.s edific the taste of the Alpha Xi’s; while the Dorm, secure in its knolly domain, have the best playground of all, the little glen that houses the Alma Mater fete at com- mencement time. W here the faculty practices no one knows. It can’t be said that no one cares, for everyone likes to know where they are at .ill times. This is for the beginning. 'This is for the spring training season and for the morning practice sessions. But for the game. Ha. Ha! We’re off! Yes! Off! Off both in action and head! Off to the pebbly beach that serves as a diamond! Off in the head for not having a better place to play! Where balls bounce every way but the right way! Where the umpire is razzed un- mercifully! W here effervescence is a prime requisite. Last year, in the league, which played off its games late in the spring, the Phi Cams an- [ 1927 WITTENBERGER 1 I Page One Hundred and Ninety-four J ncxcd the championship by winning 8 panics and losing only 1. Second place was awarded the Dorm, 7 won. 2 lost; third place to the A. T. O.s. 6 won. and 2 lost: fourth place was a tie between the Pi Kaps and the Phi Psis, each winning 6 and losing 3: fifth place was accorded the Faculty, 3 wins and 4 defeats; seventh place to the P� ctas, with 3 wins and 5 defeats; eighth place to the Kappa Phis, 3 won. 6 lost; ninth place to the City Croup. 1 won, lost 8: and the cellar to the Sadhe Alephs, who lost or forfeited every one of their nine games. The league ran more or less smoothly under the guiding hand of 1 lugh Barber, who selected at the end of the season a mythical, all-campus team. The men named, with their positions and group affiliations, are: Pitcher. Seeger. Beta; catcher, Borst, Phi Psi; first base, Hummon, A. T. O.: right short stop. Bueleke. Phi Gam; second base, Knotts. Pi Kap; left short stop, Mails, Sadhe Aleph : third base. Kemper. Phi Psi: right field. Pihlblad. faculty; center field, Schoner, Dorm: and left field. McFarrcn. Phi Cam. To the Phi Psis is accorded the honor of being the only group to rout the champions, the Phi (iams. In the beginning, so it is noticed, the score ran up well into two figures, but as the season progressed, and the teams became more adept, the scores withered until it was a rare thing to make over two or three runs per game. Unlike most leagues no definite records were kept on file, so we. as scribes of the past, present, and future, are unable to tell who the heaviest hitters, and the worst, were. All we can rely on is the all-campus mythical team, listed above, which, we assure ourselves, contains plenty of beef and bone. So far this year the A. T. Os. have been showing the way in the league, with the Phi Psis. Dorm, and Betas, hovering closely on their heels. hat the outcome of this strug- gle will be no one can, or will, try to say. The standing at the time that the Annual was forced to go to press showed that the A. 'I'. Os. had four victories to their credit, with no defeats; the Phi Gams, with the same; the Dorm registered 3 wins, and but 1 defeat: the Betas, 5 wins and 1 defeat; the Phi Psis. 2 wins and 2 defeats; the City Group. 1 win and 4 defeats, with the Pi Kaps. Faculty, Sadhe Alephs, Kappa Phis and Chi Sigma Xus. each striving to annex one game. Little can be said about the intramural tennis tournament which took place also in the spring of last year, except that the con- test for the championship narrowed down into a struggle between Clarence Smith, the stocky exponent of the court game, repre- Plii Psi Bowlers 1926 Members of the Phi Psi bowling team that furnished the Alpha Taus so much trouble, are. left to right.

Smith had little trouble in finishing the Phi Psi’s career, winning in three straight sets. This year’s tourna- ment is still in its infancy, awaiting the completion of the courts, which will no doubt be ready for play sometime the early part of June. No double events were played in the boys’ tourney last year. The bowling league was the one intramural activity during the winter months. Great interest was exhibited in the games, in a spir- ited race between the Phi Psis, Dorm, and A. T. (). teams. The latter came out in a whirlwind finish to win the championship, although the title may yet be disputed. Three games remain yet to be played by the Phi Gams and the A. T. Os. These are against each other. If the Phi Gams win two of the three games they tie for the championship; if they win all three, they win the championship; if the A. T. Os. win two. they annex the championship. As yet, as late in the year as it is, no desire has been shown by either team to compete with the other. So the A. '1'. Os are the champs. Phillip Stephenson was crowned the golf champ in the faculty- student flight held last year, merely nosing out Joe Keyser in the final match, 6 to 5. This tourney began on April 15. and was the second an- nual event sponsored. Thirty-two golfers were entered, giving a fairly representative field of the talent on the campus. The finals occurred about four weeks after the beginning of the event, with Stephenson paired with Keyser. Both were members of the varsity team. The finals were to be for thirty-six holes. At the end of the first eighteen holes Stephenson was one down; at the end of the twenty-seventh hole, the scores were even; while at the end of the thirty-sixth hole, the same state prevailed. Stephenson took one putt less than Keyser on this last hole, and won the match. The year be- fore last. Stephenson was runner-up in the all-college tournament. The spring tournament for 1927 began the latter part of April with thirty-two entries. '1'he pairings for the first round were: Philip Keyser vs. David Luck ; Russell Olderman vs. Albert Brandt; Pro- fessor II. |. Arnold vs. W illiam Neville; Joe Keyser vs. Paul Bechtol: Paul Kulhenkamp vs. Fred Swingle: Arthur Cunningham vs. William Bueleke; Fred Evans vs. Paul lliff: Professor W. C.

Women s Athletic Association THE Women’s Athletic Association was organized in 1925 on the Wit- tenberg campus to foster a greater interest in co-ed athletics. Each co-ed. who has successfully passed one semes- ter of work in the department of physi- cal education, is eligible for member- ship. Letters, sweaters and numerals are awarded to those most proficient in various sports by what is known as the point system. To gain any honor a co-ed must make at least 450 points. Then she receives numerals. 750 entitles her to a letter, and 1.100 to a sweater. Points are awarded to members of class volleyball teams, basketball teams, baseball teams, to tennis participants, to track, for special gym- nasium work, for Alma Mater fete dancing, for hik- ing. for the holding of any office, or the captaincy of any team, for a managership, or for perfect work in physical educational work. Officers of the association this year included Kathryn Fritz, president; Bessie Albrecht, vice- president; Arlinc DcKorte. social secre- tary; I.mile Shatzer. recording se.'re- tary; and Christine LcFevrc. treasurer. Managers included, tennis. Louise Rich- ison ; basketball. Harriett Howe: base- ball. Katherine Hartman; track. Mar- garet Menges; hiking. Mary Catherine Bissinger; and volleyball. Marjorie Scholl.

The WINNERS “The Winners THE average American has a desire to mix more or less in the mystic field of politics. The average college student feels more or less of a thrill when he can he a part of some campus intrigue. The power to he. or not to he. on any campus is swayed, more or less on every campus, hv politics. The only difference between institutions is that some have worse situa- tion?. than the others. We can recall to mind the story of one of the great Hoosier universities. The student body was selecting the I’rom Queen.” There had been a rift between two factions of campus fraterni- ties. The nationals saw that the election was going the wrong way. So they stuffed the ballot box. The rightful Prom Queen.” was left shivering in her already purchased garments. The elected one borrowed them to lead the stately grand march. Then there is the case of our own state university. The stu- dents willingly selected a cow for their queen. But the bovine luminary was not allowed to graze on the waxed lloor of the ball room the night of the Prom, but was forced to remain con- tentedly chewing her cud in the pasture lands of Columbus, while she basked in the sunlight in the heaviest rays oi publicity ever accorded any one oi her line. That merely shows the interest that is taken in elections. At Wittenberg, annually there have been one. two. three, and perhaps four attempts to name somebody something. The worst, the better. This year we have had two elections. The first sem- ester ten people were accorded the honor oi being named the most outstanding persons on the campus, by an all-campus vote. The ballot box was not stuffed. This second half of the year, in one big scoop we named the “Big Ten all over again, as well as some other more or less popular people. Then the men's and women’s campus organizations put their heads together, and named, re- spectively. the ten most beautiful co-eds and the ten most hand- some men. Everything was a success. In order that everything might have a good scent, and be ac- claimed as being positively all right, a special board oi elections consisting of four members of the faculty and the three editors of the campus publications, oversaw the entire proceedings. The faculty members were: Miss Rose Cadwgan. I)r. E. O. Weaver, Professor Paul R. Drees, and K. G. Lind. Of course, the three editors were: Floyd Barger. Robert Bayless, and George Mc- Cleary. Now, turn over and look at the results. f 1927 WITTENBERCER 1 I Page Two Hundred and Three J “Big Ten” First Semester 1926-27 THESE are the ten most outstanding people in practical- ly a thousand students.

In that race there were twenty-three other candidates. Jackson walked away with his honors, as did Lou Richison; but Marie Mueller, too. found some little difficulty in polling a sufficient number of votes to win. It seems that everybody has a different idea about what the most typical college man and woman should look like. f 1927 WITTEN BERGER 1 1 Page Two Hundred and Six J P opularitij Bij an All Campus Vote FRANCIS MACS Sad he Aleph Masculine Half Most Devoted Couple FRED SWINGLE Phi Gamma Delta College Wit FAYE FOREMAN Alpha Delta Pi Most Beautiful Girl HELEN MAURER ELIZABETH CUMMINGS Alpha Delta Pi Feminine Half Most Devoted Couple Alpha Xi Delta Girl With Most Poise WE ARK certain that each one of the above persons deserved honors.

On the whole, the election was very successful. A representative vote was cast, and everybody was happy.

Everything imaginable is pictured there. Running our eye hurriedly down the first column we see Miss Miriam Conger holding the face of a clock; we observe the biggest radio announcer in the business in the form of Lester Crowd; and we dwell at some length on the excellent posture of Wittenberg’s famed drum-major, reputed to be the most outstanding, well-dressed man in the busi- ness, Norman Zuck. Unlike the newspapers, we will not name the gentleman, posing in the top of the second row as a girl. He may want some more of these wild masculine necking dates. As for the girls in the lower picture, if named, they would no doubt feel sonic little embarrassed for they have not yet outlived the “play-with-doll” stage of life. We bow. however, to Miss Mildred Wineland, of front page fame, as she stands posing as an officer after the picture was taken, as two recruiting ser- scraniblc for enlistments. What must a person do to get his name in the picture? We wonder. But we know the formula for getting the photograph. From those given above we should suggest that the prime requisite is a goodly measure oi the beauty that is generally endowed men and women; the second is the desire to do something; and the third is to do that something well. Other students have gotten in print successfully. Success because there hasn’t been any shooting scrapes or riots that required photographs, but the individuals have just done something that was peace- ful and tame, like winning a campus election! The news hounds are always on the look-out for even these tame items, and the campus representatives sparr jealously over the smallest news item. Friendly enemies. So when you read the daily papers from now on watch for the Wittenberg news! Watch your home papers for news.

Kranz. a native of Mayen, near Coblentz. Germany, and Paul K. Wcinandy of Dusscldorf. Germany. Both of these young men are members of the Xer- other Bund, which is explained as a juvenile order in tin- German Republic allied with the Youth movement. It is a fraternity of young, able-bodied, alert minded men who have joined themselves to a movement which has some well defined objectives. Prom- inent among these is: Education by travel. It is the aim of every member to get into various parts of the world for the express pur- pose of eliminating from world thought much of distrust and lack of sympathy due to lack of contact between nations and na- tions, peoples and peoples. Kranz and Wcinandy. in addi- tion to their European. Asiatic and African travels, now add American travel and study to their list.

I been thinking What a queer world this would be If the men were all transported Far across the deep, blue sea. These Xerothers tell of visit- ing a “no woman's land. They traveled into a small part of a province in Macedonia set aside in the thirteenth century for male inhabitants only. By order of the Greek Catholic Church, they say, this peninsula was to contain only men members of the church. The order has been obeyed for more than 700 years. Into this queer place the two Wittenbergers made their way. and. according to an account by Kranz. they were not molested. 11 is account is as follows: During our trips through Eur- ope. Greece, the land of Apollo has been of special interest as we had the most exciting events in Macedonia. We knew that robbers in Olympus held Eng- lishmen so long until they were released through a considerable amount of ransom. We learned that the Greek government has a strong objection against for- eigners to go into the wild deso- lation of the mountains because something could happen to them for which happenings the gov- ernment would not take any re- sponsibility. This did not cause us to stay away from this part of the country however, and we made up our minds to climb the mountains of Macedonia any- how.

CAM PL'S services for the graduating class of 1926 were as beautiful as any similar cere- monies ever conducted on the Wittenberg college campus. Fair weather aided in mak- ing the week a total success. The ceremonies for the week began with the Baccalaureate services at the First Lutheran C hurch on Sunday evening, June 6. Dean Ross Miller presented the sermon. In the after- mum of the same day there were special vesper services in the college chapel, with Miss June F.mbree Ridenour, (ieneva Dcmarest, Kingsley Ganson. and Ksthcr Oclrich presenting the musical program. Marshall T. Bailey was the organist at the evening services, while John Thomas Williams led the choir. The special students' concert of the School of Music was held June 7. Class day functions were also celebrated the same day. Late in the afternoon was the traditional senior proces- sional ; the presentation of the class gift by Samuel Cornwell, class president, and its accept- ance by Dr. B. F. Prince: the planting of the ivy. and the ivy oration by Roberta Raker, with the acceptance by Dr. Paul F. Bloomhardt; the planting of the oak. with the oration by Wilma Sudhoff, and its acceptance by Professor F. II. McNutt; and the burning of the class minutes by Helen Fast, class secretary. The evening was devoted to the commencement con- cert of the School of Music. The afternoon of June 8 was devoted to the laying of the cornerstone of the new Labora- tories building. Rev. J. A.

Honorary members were Dr. and Mrs. F. K. Kruger. W C S O New Radio Station A DECIDED progress in another field of activity during the past year was shown by Wittenberg College. In addition to having a radio broadcasting station, new rooms were built for sending purposes and equipment valued at $5,000 was bought to give the Lutheran station one of the strong- est sending outfits in the university world. Dr. E. O. Weaver is station director. Professor O. Myking Melius is program director; and Robert Stolzcnbach is the station operator. The duties of announcing are divided among three men. Lester Crowl. Ted Gray, and Charles Lenten, all of the varsity debate team. Although the sending power of the new station was originally intended for 1,000 watts, only 500 watts may be used according to a governmental edict for those stations that are situated in city residential districts. The Lutheran station usually broadcasts three times each week. Monday. Wednesday, and Friday, with special chapel services and other features added at odd intervals. The inside of the new '‘sending room, large enough to seat a large symphony orchestra. Charles Lemen. announcer, is shown before one of the mikes.

Rees Edgar Tul- loss in an address at the 82nd Founder’s Day exercises of the college, held March 11. in the chapel. The main address of the morning was given by Dr. L. H. Larimer, dean of Mamma Divinity school, who said in part: Founders and leaders of the college have always been pressing in the same direction. Witten- berg has kept her name unsullied, and by standing the stress and strain of years has given a great deal to the Lutheran church. Pageantry depicted the growth of the institution, dur- ing its 82 years of history. The program was under the supervision of Ar- row and Mask; Dr. Shatzer. assisted by Dean Pershing, was in charge of the chapel services. Members of the men’s glee club also presented several musical numbers, one number, Dominum Salvum fac Pricdem Nostrum,” being a special number that has been dedicated to the services. The most important dates in the history of the college were depicted by those who were in the pageant. 1845 was shown as the year of the founding of the school; 1874 as the year that the first co-ed was allowed to enter the institution; 1882 as the year of the dedication of Recitation hall; 1918 for war time activities; 1920 for the coming of Dr. Tulloss; and 1925. celebrating the culmina- tion of Wittenberg’s successful campaign for additional endowment, when she obtained $700.000 from subscriptions and the Carnegie Foundation. Members of the cast iu the pageant shown in the picture above, are: first row. left to right. Floyd Barger, who represented the modern college journalist: Pauline Rilling, representing a nurse during the war period; Elizabeth Freed, showing the modern conception of college dramatics; Elizabeth Jencks. the Custodian of the hand of “Time;” Elaine Middlekauff. as the Alma Mater; Pauline Bushcy. the reader of the lines of the pageant; Madcllyn Greiner as the modern music student; Charlotte Bell, as the so- ciety queen of today; and Mildred Grunditsch as the modern co-ed. In the second row. John Davey was the soldier boy that joined the A. E. F. in France; Arthur Ablanalp depicted the modern seminary student; Francis Maus was the boy athlete of 1927; Miss Georgia MacPherson was the author of the lines; and Kathryn Fritz represented the girl athlete of 1927. The insert shows the demure nature of the first Wittenberg co-ed. who was allowed admittance to the institution iu 1874. She is personified by Kathryn Baker. The chapel was filled to overflowing for the exercises. A large clock, showing the movement of the hand of time over the face kept the interest centered on the date of the pageant. f 1927 WITTENBERCER 1 L Page Two Hundred artd Nineteen J Behind the Scenes THK supreme moment of any dramatic production comes before the ever searching eyes of the audi- ence. but the real, honest-to-goodness fun. and worry, of tlie actors and actresses, is not so much about their ability to say lines that have become mechanical through the seeming endless ages of practice, but the question of that ever gnawing vanity.

A new ruling has gone into effect at Ferncliff and Woodlawn halls that all lights, with the exception of those in the corridors, must be turned out promptly at 11 p. in. The somewhat trite rejoinder that Oh. 1 just bumped into a door in the dark” is staging a revival of interest.

Shopworn excuses about burning the midnight oil in an attempt to catch up in the study of such sub- jects as invite a lagging interest to even slower speed are backed into a blurry background. If they don’t take time off on their collegiate dates and cease the destructive grind of social activities, these girls will have no time before the dead-line” on lights in which to leaf through books on the sundry subjects lifted in the college curriculum. However, there is a likelihood of out-of-town co-eds sleeping in classes being received with even less toleration than ever before—which makes this consideration for loss of slumber slightly less than a nega- tive quantity. These wide-awake women will no doubt work a hardship with the heretofore sleepier sex. who pride themselves on brisk competition in this matter of outwitting the gentle gender of the campus populace in the battlefield of the class-room. College authorities hint that the reason for this new ruling may be economy. It is whispered about also that the faculty frowns on late study hours. They seem inclined to do away with all possibility of their class periods being used as a siesta. Honor Seniors at Recognition Daij Exercises PUBLIC honor was given, for the first time, to members of the senior class, when last year the college authorities inaugurated Senior Recognition Day.” The services were held in the gully south of Recitation hall, almost directly in front of Carnegie Science hall. Friday. May 14. The principal address of the morning was delivered by Dr. Rees Edgar Tulloss. who expressed the hope that the members of the class had gained, through their four years of college life, a broadening and deepening of their ideals and ambitions, which would be notice- able in all that they would do following their graduation. Dr. Shatzer presented the class to Dr. Tulloss, while Dean Ross Miller gave the invocation and pronounced the bene- diction. Music for the program was furnished by t h e Wittenberg Symphony Orchestra, directed by Professor De Forest W. Inger- ham; the women’s chorus, directed by Pro- fessor John Thomas Williams; and the men's glee club, under the di- rection of Professor Frederick Lewis Bach. f 1927 WITTENBERCER ] I Page Two Hundred and Twcnty-onc J “Wmj Up” and “Far Back” H You Seek Higk Honors Bq the Torch SUCH a terse expression from a professor as select a room in the second floor back has been found to be a bit imposing, following investigation of conditions at Ferncliflf hall. Dr. T. Bruce Birch, professor of philosophy, is re- puted to have made the statement that a student should select a room in a dormitory up and back as far as possible, if he or she desired to spend most of the time in study. The front views seem to detract too much, he said. Eighteen co-eds live on the second floor of the frame part of old Ferncliflf hall. Half of the rooms face the court where the girls get the full benefit of serenades and the other half faces the campus. These co-eds have an average scholarship quo- tient of three-point or more. The girls who live there are: Bernice Kerri- gan. St. Louisville, sophomore: Marjory Scholl. Conncrsvillc, Ind., junior; Rose Mitterholser. Dayton, freshman; Corinnc Yinsel, Coshocton, sophomore: Edna Winter. Quincy, 111., junior; Garnett Beams, Spencerville. Ind.. sophomore; Mary Swingle, Philo, freshman; Helen Dyer.

It may be science, language, journalism, or what not, but the schedule for this semester shows that more courses are offered in science than in any other department, a 'Porch reporter’s survey shows. Foreign languages are next in vogue, followed by social studies and psychology. There are more courses in religion than there are in physical education even though one would judge the contrary. Twelve courses are offered in the public speak- ing department, while there arc thirteen in busi- ness administration. Mathematics. Greek and Latin are at the bot- tom of the popularity list with four and five courses, respectively. New Organ at Music School ALTHOUGH the enrollment of the School of Music is increasing by leaps and bounds, and it is very evident that the academy is in dire need of new quarters, no provisions have been made by the college to meet the situation. The United Lutheran Church recognizes the Wittenberg School of Music as the premier ranking academy for musi- cal knowledge. The equipment is plentiful, but needs more room for placing. Above is Miss June Ridenour at one of the new organs, and below the present building. [ 1927 W1TTENBERCER 1 L Page Two Hundred nnd Twenty-two J Wliat the College Girls Do !

HARPIST Phenomena in Students Names Revealed hvj Students Directory BY THE TORCH Miss Cora Loos, harpist, with the Witten- berg Symphony Orchestra. [ OF LESS than no interest to the traditional baker and candlestick maker would be a study of the names of Wittenberg students; but such a study would be intriguing to the historian and the philologist. Viewing a compilation of names from the college directory recently published by the Wom- en's League, the historian would be able to predict the religion and nationality of a majority of Wittenberg's students. Among the family names. Mil- ler. including the variant spell- ings Millar. Millard, and Muel- ler. tallied the greatest count, with Smith and the Teutonic Schmidt following closely be- hind. The count appeared to make a tie between the Schneid- 1927 WITTENBERGER 1 Page Two Hundred and Twenty-three J er's and the Johnson’s. Interesting among the oppo- sites in names were the follow- ing phenomena of nature. Sun. Moon. Winter and Summer. That parents of Wittenberg students are for the most part devout Christians is shown by tbe fact that the most popular Christian name is John, while Mary runs a close second, lie- sides. there is a liberal sprinkling of Joseph's. David's. Benjamin's. Philip’s. James' and Paul's. Fur- ther that many oi the donors of student names here are Herman, Protestant, and Lutheran, can- not be doubted, for William with the variant older form Wilhelm. Carl and Karl. Frederick. Luther and Martin Luther arc used fre- quently. Debaters Meet Foreign Opponent WITTENBERG again met a foreign op- ponent in her'second international de- bate contest, when she met the team representing the University of Sydney, Sydney. Australia. November 12. The Anzacs, three strong, were making a trans-continental tour of the United States, meeting thirty teams repre- senting the leading colleges and universities of the country. Peculiar was the situation that found Professor T. E. Thompson, head of the department of business administration at Wit- tenberg. as their business manager. Among the teams met were those representing Stanford University, the University of Oregon. Whitman College, the University oi Montana. North Da- kota Agricultural College. Morningside College. Missouri Wesleyan College. William Jewell Col- lege. University of Kansas. University of Mis- souri. Westminster College. Washington Uni- versity. University of Indiana. University of Cin- cinnati. Marietta College. Wittenberg College. Heidelberg College. Bowling Green State Nor- mal School. Western State Normal School. Albion College. Hillsdale College, Wheaton College, the Uni- versity oi Chicago, Marquette University. University of Iowa. Coe College, and Iowa State College. The Australians presented a different method of debating from that prevalent in the middle western states in this country. It was less formal, introduced a great deal of wit and satire, and made the de- bate more entertaining than might have been expected, of a foreign opponent. All three men were gradu- ates oi Universities in Australia, and are now completing graduate courses at the University of Sydney. Members of (he Australian debate team are. left to right: Noel D. McIntosh. Sydney Heathwood. Joseph Sittler of Wit- tenberg, Dr. John Codsall. and Professor T. E. Thompson, of Wittenberg, who managed the Anzac team’s affairs in the trans-continental lour. Pipes—From Briars to Corncobs — Appeal to Students’ Varied Taste Btj the Torch WHO has the best pipe on the campus, professor or student? It seems that when modern colleges came to the fore Dame Fashion decreed that the college man to be collegiate must smoke a pipe. This of course accounts why the professors smoke, they were collegiate once, in fact some still are. In the days gone by all sorts of pipes were in existence, the corn cob probably holding front place, but today Italian briars are regnant. In taking a bird’s-eye-view of the pipes belonging to the campus males, one finds long ones, short ones, fat ones, lean ones, square ones, some with long stems like giraffe necks, some with no necks at all. In fact, some are all autographed and caricatured in every conceivable fashion. This is the startling question: who has the best looking pipe: who has the strongest pipe: who has the most interesting pipe; and who has the one that has survived the most storm and stress? r 1927 WITTENBERCER 1 I Page Two Hundred and Twenty-four J Well, It s Legitimate Tlie Three Pilgrims BY TORCH STUDENTS will work at most anything to get through college. But the strangest case on record is of a I lamina Divinity school student who helps himself through the seminary by preaching funeral sermons. Since the beginning of the school year. Paul Huffman, a middler. has officiated at 11 funerals. This number is so far ahead of his fellow students that they have dubbed him the burying parson.” My average fee is $1.36.” he says, “and it is sometimes hard to save some of that after taking out expenses for the Ford coupe. But it’s good experience. Wlii] Hearts Beat Faster BY TORCH IM P ICR SO X AT IO X S may have their place on the stage, but in a girl’s dormitory they become almost a stark reality, which doesn’t prove good exercise for a weak heart. That’s what five Fcrncliff co-eds believe after their experiences last week when a co-ed dressed like a male member of the faculty walked into their room. And five hearts palpitated in excite- ment until the intruder disclosed her” identity, but not until he had dated with a sister co-ed. Dad Antes $2.83 BY TORCH IT COSTS your father at least $2.83 a day to keep you at Wittenberg if you live 100 or more miles away. This estimate was made by an adding machine wizard who finished an exam last week earlier than the rest. This sum just keeps you here physically, not clothed or paying fraternity bills, club dues or contributing to the jewelry salesmen when you form another club. Tuition for two semesters is $180; books at least $25: budget and health fee $24; $5 a week allow- ance. $180; board and room rent at $24 per month. $305. and train fare during vacations, $50; total $765. which is $85 a month, or $2.83 per diem. “In Dutch BY TORCH 1RST. stones whizzed through the air!

IT ISN’T often that Wittenberg College deviates from time honored traditions and accomplishes something radically new. and far different from the straight and narrow lines laid down in those im- mortal days of I)r. Ezra Keller, but here we have it the first trans-continental debate tour ever staged by the Lutheran college, and the three smiling Pil- grims that ventured forth to make the college strong in the hearts of the wild and wooly westerners.

Three supreme slingers oi the much talked about bull.” The lower photo shows them preparing to mount the train for the beginning of their journey. What happened there- after we have no photographic record of. Sufficient to say Professor Brees is firm in his statements that Crowl was quite enamored by the fair co-eds of all the western institutions, while even the renowned woman-hater, Sittler. felt the lure of the sun-kist co-eds of tropic California’s fair universities. Otherwise Sittler lost a perfectly new overcoat, and Crowl gained poundage. Arkansas mud. and rabbit hunts over the mounds of Kansas sands are still retentive in the memories of the reticent young men. That’s all they say. I 19 2 7 W1TTENBERCER 1 J Page Two Hundred and Twenty-five J Just Propaganda! IT IS said that Wittenberg should have a minstrel show, and we agree so much that we have selected a cast of characters, if they may be termed that, for the production, should it have been given this year. The four across the top would no doubt have leading character roles. Wilkins is quite the boy at tell- ing stories in bull sessions and would be elected as an eccentric end man; Winey would be asked to jatnble together an orchestra; Gimbel would be asked to tell some parlor jokes; and Miss Simon would sing graciously in order to pad” the rough spots. Dorst. in the center, would make the ideal cynic; while the five men around him. namely Krumm. Kobcltz. Jaeger. Bayless, and Flarida would serve as the best conveyances to the audience. They usually get right what they repeat. Then we have two clever dancers in Miss Grunditsch and Miss Zander to lend color to the attraction. Miss Pauline Bushey would be the generalissimo of the production. Steffen and Miss Wetzel would put on a give and take comedy act: while Heft, as usual, would handle the properties. We have neglected to give parts to Miss Scholl. Miss Robb, and Balling, as we feel that their wit and satire should be languished on the audience with caution and care.

Their alumni in Springfield rate pretty heavy, and that shows up when town Fresh- men are pledged. They have fairly hot dances at which everyone is supposed to act quite collegiate, although some of the sisters do stay at the dance all evening. They’re quite affectionate, especially with the Phi Psis. You know “the Tan Delts walk with the Phi Psis. and the Phi Psis walk with God.” They’re rather high-hat, and selectness is the keynote, hut no one knows who does the selecting.

They are the boys who are hot after the in- tramural championships, and it is to be pre- dicted that they will probably easily cop off the interfraternity ping-pong contests. These are also the boys who wear the big, manly, red sweaters with many stripes around both arms. But as soon as the boys stop holding their chapter meetings, or bull sessions, whichever they are. in the middle of the entrance to Recitation Hall, we’ll be all for ’em. - i LVJCN — Wc often wondered how the Sadhe Alcphs did it.

The boys take college pretty seriously, smoke “Between the Acts,” and “Little Corporal.” spit, but seldom chew, and hold bull sessions on religion, the Bible, and women. Socially they create very little stir, although we believe they do throw dances and “Open 1 louses” quite often. Their excuse for existence is not cpiite clear to us at present, but we’re patiently waiting for some day they’ll possibly do something worth while—or otherwise.

SPRIXCFIKLD. OHIO—(I . II.)—Four men were killed and twelve seriously injured dur- ing a meeting of the Board of Directors of W ittenberg College, located in Springfield, as the result of a violent discussion following the adoption of a new set of rules to govern the student body. Realizing that co-education, as an institution, was a failure, except as a marriage bureau, the legislative fathers of the college drafted a set of rules and laws which will cause a complete upset in educational circles. The new rules as given here are to be published exclusively by the 1927 W'ittenbergcr. Those of the new rules which are more violent transgressions of established educational precedent are given with the reasons for their adoption. Inasmuch as the old regime of early seven forty-five classes interfered to a very great extent with the collegiate institution of fraternity “bull’’ sessions and late dates, the new rules state that no classes will take up before eleven o’clock. This is expected to be as agreeable to the professors as it will be to the students. Xo longer will the traditional ab- sent-minded professor rush madly from the breakfast table to appear before his early morn- ing classes without his trousers in their accepted place. The chemicals to be used in the Freshman laboratory sections will be of such power that if the slightest mistake is made in mixing two chemicals the erring Freshman will be blown so far that he will not bother the busy professors of the chemistry department with foolish questions, such as, “What did I do that was wrong?” Another advantage of the f 1 9 2 7 WITTEN BERGER 1 1 Page Two Hundred and Fifty-one J ject of m a n y d i s c u ssioiis, some running into the small hours of the morning, causing many students to lose some of their essential sleep. (This was noticed by the individual advisors of the students.) To counteract any possibility of a reoc- currence of such presentations and their subsequent objections. Prof. Paul R. Brees, head of the public speaking depart- ment is negotiating with Mr. (ieorge White in hopes of presenting one of his Scandals as next year’s Senior class pro- duction. This will also eliminate the necessity of advertising in the downtown sections of Springfield, as it is safe to as- sume that the student body will attend the theater en masse.

The cause for this was, as explained by the students, that the men and women would stop and talk, making their dates for the coming evening, or talking over the terrific struggle in getting the date in on time the night before. Comfortable lounges, placed throughout the halls are ex- pected to clear up the situation. College students all seem to have the ability to give advice, even though they are not able to take care of their own affairs. To facilitate matters for them soap boxes are to be placed in convenient positions over the campus so that when any of the students feel the urge of expressing them- selves it will be a simple matter—merely hop up on the box. Some of the boxes will be fashioned to resemble plat- forms so that the many college debaters and orators may be able to practice their speeches wherever they may be on the campus. 1‘lie Junior and Senior class plays presented this year by the representatives of the respective classes were se- verely criticized by the 'Porch, the college newspaper, and were the sub- --c-r-v Comfortable lounges arc to be provided in the halls of all college buildings. f 1927 WITTENBERCER | I Page Two Hundred and Fifty-two J gymnasium is not com- rhc campus sage will b« provided with soap boxes pletelv finished the col- conveniently placed over ' the campus. lege authorities arc so assume control of the swimming tank at Avalon Park, which is advertised as being “the most beautiful bathing beach in Ohio.” A special automobile bus line will take the students to and from the beach free of charge. 'Phis is an inno- vation. as it is the first thing that has ever been given to the students free. Motorboats, speed- boats, canoes, and sailing vessels will be kept in the boat house which will be renovated this summer. Many verbal conflicts on the campus have ultimately resulted in ungentlemanlv fisticuffs. To avoid such unforgivable incidents, boxing gloves will be found hanging on the trees over the entire campus, conveniently placed so that the gentlemen may settle their affairs of lion r, or dishonor, in a gentlemanly manner. This will also aid the athletic department as the B ard of Athletic Control has decided to replace the old-fashioned and brutal football, and the gruelling and heart-ruining game of basket- ball with the manly art of boxing. Ten rings, regulation size, are to be built in the Stadium. As this new athletic de- parture is expected to be extremely popular with the students and the citizens of Springfield, the east side of the Stadium will be completed to take care of the crowds. This will be of interest to “Buck” Rider, who may now discard his especially constructed picture of the “W ittenberg Bowl” and show his athletically inclined high school students an actual picture. The new million- dollar hospital has been completed, and will be staffed with nurses from the Zicglield F o 11 i e s’ c h o r u s. This will have untold advan- tages as the entire student body, male in any respect, will spend their four-year college course in the hospital.

Full tuition will be required each year. Pre-medical students will act as in- ternes in the hospital. This will automatic- ally furnish a sufficient number of bodies for students in the new embalming school to practice on. As the Witt, the college humorous mag- azine, has elected, as editor, a woman, the circulation department should be swamped with orders. The policy of the magazine will probably be changed with each issue. After a careful examination of the scandal sheet edited by this same woman, the col- lege authorities are of the opinion that she would make an admirable editor for a tabloid paper, which, in their opinion would fill a verv desirable position on the campus. The fall winds, which up to the present time have been one of the features of the beauty of the campus, will be combatted next year by sewing lead weights onto the bottom of each co-ed’s dresses, according to a decision of Miss Ruth Immel. dean of women at the institution. Therefore, as lead weights are to replace dust in counteracting the demoraliz- ing effect of the said wind, the college authorities will find it necessary to make provision that the walks on the campus be swept at least once a semester. The gloves are to replace words in alTairs of honor among the gentle- men on the campus. All college buildings will, of course, have to be completely renovated this summer so that they will contain complete equipment to comply with the new rules and regulations which will take effect next September. Hardwood floors are to be installed in all buildings, that students may while away the time between classes by dancing. Winey’s Witts are to start the year, but if any compet- ing orchestras are organized they will have try-outs under the direc- tion of Prof. Anton J. Bjorkland. This will be a decided innovation in edu- cational circles, as stu- dents may dance any time during the day or night. The orchestra and re- freshments will always be on hand. Students will be required to pay for the ad- ditional light bills, as the buildings are expected to be lighted practically every night in the week. The new hospital is to be staffed with nurses from the chorus of Ziegfeld's Follies. f 1927 WITTENBERCER 1 I Page Two Hundred and Fifty-five J Another very interesting departure is the per- mission that has been granted to co-eds that they may smoke on the campus. Dean Pershing and Dean Immel will open a course the first semester for all girls who are not accomplished in the gentle art of smoking. Advanced classes will be held for those women who do not know how to inhale. Smoking rooms will be built in the girls’ dormitories, and in convenient locations on the campus. This new fea- ture is expected to bring many women students to Wittenberg. Miss Kmily Post, author of the popular book of etiquette, has been authorized to incorporate a special chapter in the next edition of the book, which is to cover all phases of hot-dog eating in public. This ac- tion is the direct result of a new rule introduced by the “applied psychology” department of the college which is to have the concession privilege of selling hot-dogs at the Stadium during the football and “box- ing” season. The college co-operative purchasing department, through Professor I'.. A. Jensen, has sent in orders for two carloads of rouge, which will be distributed to each co-ed at the college when- ever her supply might run short. This will do away with the “make-up” department, as the girls will not be able to put more on than they normally will carry. Blue Dcujs Maij Be Lightened Bij Action oi College Board A CITATION is running high today on the Wittenberg College campus due to rulings of the Board of Di- rectors of the college that will influence life on the campus for next year. The conditions as they exist today have been reviewed carefully by our correspondent, who, it is to be confessed, is not open to make any comments as a reviewer oi the situation. The effect of these measures on stu- dent life at the college has not yet been fully measured by even the most clever prophets on the campus. It is deemed that these measures, however, have come about thro u g h argument presented through the columns of the Torch, which issue by issue had a new subject during the year to place before the student body, all of them of more or less importance. I lie Will, to be consistent with its woman editor. will have to change its posi y � i;h each issue. To coinbat the campus winds Dean Immel will supply each co-ed with lead weights to hold down what there arc of the dresses. I 1 9 2 7 WITTENBERCER ] I Page Two Hundred and Fifty-six J All buildings will be supplied with hard- wood floors so that students may dance during their open hours between classes. The subjects named above were almost completely cov- ered in its columns, some being covered so well by the clever veins of satire that the C larion sometimes exhibited that they were totally obscured in meaning from the average person’s range of intelligence. Says one campus dignitary concerning the Torch: “There were many attempts during the past year to in- stitute reforms on the Wittenberg College campus. All of the attempts were either fostered or abetted by the Torch, which, in its attempt to get everybody to do every- thing, attempted to do just a wee bit too much. It is a shame,” the “Dig.” continued, “that the students should be forced to listen to tirades on the works of one. Mcnecken. It is a question in my mind if the student body should not be urged to be more diligent in its college studies than in the rantingsof socialistic writers. Surely there is enough socialism on the campus. “It is indeed a pleasure to observe that several of the honors given during the past year have been gained by persons who arc not even in the college. We believe that it is a line thing to so recognize these men, when they are almost entirely forgotten by the student body. It serves to once again bring them back to memory and to the college, and is a line reward for a majority of the men students, as well as women, who have had to stay on the campus and to do the current work. “I believe that also there will be some little rectifying of other ills in regard to parceling out campus offices when the purpose for which the organization stands and the purpose for which the various individuals are chosen are clearly outlined. Oftimes, to one, like myself, who is not so well acquainted with the workings of ‘campus motifs,’ it is impossible to see why some things are done. “1 am a firm believer that there is a great deal of won- derful talent that lies in the school, that is entirely obscured by petty bigotry by those at present in power. It would be my aim as one in office to really dig down underneath these things and to see just what everything is about.” The above person would not allow his name to be used in connection with the story, but said that he felt that it would only make him unpopular on the college campus. “That indeed is excuse enough for obscuring his name. the publicity editor of the school is quoted as saying. In regard to the attitude of the individual members of the faculty on current happenings at the institution nothing is ever said or done. Says one august member of that as- semblage. “Why should we care for what the students do? Women win bc permuted to smoke on the campus. f 19 2 7 WITTENBERCER ] I Page I wo Hundred and Fifty-seven J Make this Bank YOUR BANK TllC better the opportunity is that comes to you, the more inquisitive it usually is about your bank account.

Why should we care what happens to them outside of classes?” Another member is quoted in saying that the private court of inquisition that is conducted spasmodically by the deans to determine the various demerits of the students will soon be done away with. “Wittenberg will be the first school to establish the Honor system,” was the remark. The proposition that Wittenberg will then not be faced with any trouble whatsoever to obtain students is an estab- lished fact, so various members of the student body think. At the present time Wittenberg is only signing up those who show the most promise of developing into real students, 'finis, the percentage of failures during the Freshman year lias dropped from twelve percent to ten percent. It is ex- pected that with the new system some of the intelligentsia of the high schools may now come to Wittenberg, and re- lease the average of deficients still lower. At the present time true genius finds himself, so various students say, cur- tailed by too many rules and restrictions. The book of etiquette will incorporate a new chapter entitled. How to Eat Mot Dors. “It is a curious thing,” so states an authority on grading, “that the student grows afraid when confronted in class by an instructor. It is something that is rarely overcome in the average person’s life, or the student would be able to maintain a perfect average, and grad- uate with a perfect grade.” Then from the prexy, “Wittenberg is soon to dissolve the old system of grading.” )he Snd The college cooperative purchasing de- partment will supply each co-ed with one bucket of rouge a semester.
