NIEDRINGHAUS GYMNASIUM

The walls of Niedringhaus Gymnasium have re-echoed the cheering of the student body, and in later 
life we will still hear the echoes of

"Ricka Chicka, Ricka Chicka
Boom, Boom Boom! 
Who are we? Who are we?
College, College, C.W.C."

EISENMAYER HALL

Here I'll go when I am old,
As my happy dreams unfold,
See the marks upon the walls
Of feasts and fights and festivals
And live once more the many joys
Of good old days when we were boys.

When your golden locks
Have turned to silver grey,
To your grandchildren you'll say:
"Listen, my dears,
And I'll tell you a story
Of happy days spent
In the old dormitory."

THE COLLEGE CHURCH

They go on Sunday to the Church, 
These Wesleyan girls and boys, 
They hear the parson pray and preach 
And share their Christian joys.

J. Louis Kessler Memorial Hall
1893

KESSLER HALL was built and dedicated to the memory of Prof. J. Louis Kessler who lost his life as a 
result of an accident that occurred while he was fighting a fire which broke out in the Ladies 
Dormitory on Commencement evening, 1893.

The Star of that year says, "Central Wesleyan College through his death was deprived of a devoted 
worker. He was in the highest sense a citizen, a friend, a colleague, a good Christian man."

The cornerstone of Kessler Memorial Hall was laid October 21, 1893. Two addresses were given, one by 
Charles Wellemeyer, representing the Class of '94; the other by Rev. Heidel, representing the Board 
of Trustees. The stone was laid by Prof. Asling and the following articles placed in the stone: A 
history of the Class of '94, a copy of the Star giving an account of the fire, a sketch of Prof. 
Kessler's life and tragic death, a copy of the College Star of the Jubilee year, a German and an 
English catalogue, the Sophomore and Senior Badges of the Class of '94. The stone was secured by 
the Class of '94 and bears this inscription: "Laid October 21, 1893, by the Class of '94."

The main part of the lower story contained the "Chapel" to be used for daily devotional exercises, 
entertainments, and concerts. It seated 400 persons. In the south wall a memorial window was placed 
by the Class of '93. In the rear of the chapel were three small rooms, one for the janitors and two 
for music rooms.

The upper story contained rooms for practice and instruction in music and a larger room for the Art 
Department.

In 1920 Kessler Hall was remodeled. The Chapel was enlarged with a seating capacity of 600, the stage 
rebuilt, an orchestra pit added, the hall was redecorated in ivory color, a complete set of stage 
scenery added, and new opera seats were installed. A basement was excavated which contains a modern 
cooking laboratory. More practice rooms were added to the second story and rooms were built for the 
Art, Oratorical and Dressmaking Departments. We are, indeed, proud of the new Kessler Hall which 
graces our beautiful campus.

Niedringhaus Gymnasium

BEFORE the present Gymnasium was built, there stood on Central Wesleyan Campus a frame structure 
known as the Red Building. The Red Building served as the gymnasium until January 1908, when it 
was destroyed by fire. At Commencement time the Trustees made the final plans for a new "Gym."

During the summer of 1908, Mr. William Niedringhaus of St. Louis passed away. He remembered Central 
Wesleyan in his will with a gift of $10,000. This gift enabled the College to build a new gymnasium, 
although it did not cover the total cost of the building. The new structure was called "Niedringhaus 
Memorial" in honor of the donor of the initial gift.

Mr. William F. Niedringhaus and his brother, Hon. F. G. Niedringhaus, were staunch friends of our 
College. They took a deep interest in the work and always contributed freely to Wesleyan. They were 
faithful members of the Methodist Church and examples of real Christians who were ever ready to 
help those in need.

The new "Gym" until recent years has been the best "Gym" of any college in the state. On January 
16, 1909, the dedication game was played between C. W. C. and Kemper Military Academy. A large 
audience witnessed the game, and C. W. C. won the victory by 49 to 16. Yea Boa! for the Blue and 
White. Those who played on the team were Addicks, Hemke, Robertus, Kallmeyer, and Wipperman.

The Gymnasium proper has a regulation size court for basket ball. On the north side of the court are 
bleachers for the students. A gallery is built on all four sides for spectators. At both ends of the 
main floor are rooms, one the office of the coach, a janitors room, and two dressing rooms, equipped 
with lockers. The building is well supplied with apparatus necessary for the classes in Physical 
Culture.

In the basement of the building are the Science Laboratories and recitation rooms.  Shower baths 
have been installed for the use of the athletes.

Every student has pleasant memories of Niedringhaus Gymnasium, memories of Students' Reunions, 
"gym" classes, socials, and basket ball games. It makes a Senior have a queer feeling 'round the 
heart to think those days are almost over. Unconsciously he hums to himself:

"In basket ball, in basket ball, 
Beat 'em, Eat 'em, 
We'll defeat 'em, 
In basket ball."


(19)

The Blue and White

In the Hub State of our nation, 
Twixt Miss'ippi and Mizoo, 
Midst the splendor of creation, 
Stands a college tried and true. 
By the gentle breezes wafted 
Float her colors, white and blue, 
Like the pure white clouds of heaven 
Neath the sky of azure hue.

CHORUS:
Hail the blue and white, her colors 
Graet old Wesleyan with a cheer. 
Let our hearts be ever loyal 
To our Alma Mater dear.

From the coast of Massachusetts, 
From fair California's strand, 
From the European countries, 
From the Oriental Land, 
From all sections of our country, 
From the lands across the sea, 
Come the youth intent on learning: 
What they seek they find in thee.

Let us always sing the praises 
Of Her Founders, who in love, 
Builded here this institution. 
In the name of God Above 
Let us lift our hearts and voices, 
In one glorious hymn of praise 
For His blessings on our college. 
Loudly now the chorus raise.

-O. M. F.

Our Faculty

Should you ask about our teachers, 
All about our noble teachers, 
Of the teachers of our College, 
Wielding chalk and felt eraser, 
On the blackboards of our College, 
I should answer, I should tell you 
That our teachers are the fairest, 
That our teachers are the strictest, 
That they teach such wondrous lessons, 
At the College known as Wesleyan, 
That the whole town turns in wonder, 
Praises them for their instruction, 
Lauds them for their perseverance. 
Oh, those teachers, you shall see them 
On the pages of this annual, 
See their likeness here depicted, 
Bringing to your mind once more, 
Mem'ries of the days of yore, 
Days at Wesleyan, hours you spent, 
Spent with our dear Faculty.

History of the Senior Class

IN THE MONTH of September, 1921, the most beautiful month of the year, we as younger classmen came 
from the hills, the plains and the valleys to begin our college career.
In our Freshman year we soon realized our minor importance. There were mistakes made, but as a 
group of individuals we did not play the part of fools and repeat them. Something within us seemed 
to say, "Small beginning, big ending." With this inspiration we separated at commencement to meet 
again September, 1922.
During our Sophomore year a few students dropped by the wayside; however, we had returned from our 
summer's vacation with great enthusiasm and felt that what we lost in quantity we gained in quality.
Our Junior year again found our number increased with new additions It was during this year that we 
began more definitely to appreciate the problems constantly before us, and as we applied ourselves 
we more clearly realized our opportunities and responsibilities.
As Seniors we do not like to boast of our achievements. Class spirit has always been active and a 
fine fraternal feeling has governed the class. Not only in duty, but in pleasures we have unitedly 
pursued our goal.
As our college life draws to a close, the significance of the years gone by is brought to our minds 
more vividly, and we go into active life with a determination to be true to our best selves in 
accordance with the ideals of our school.
And I've a secret to unfold;
As Wesleyan's days went by
Though grown to Seniors proud and cold,
Our spirits fervent lie.
When comes the time to say, farewell, 
And friend from friend must part, 
Our Alma Mater's praise we'll tell, 
In life we'll do our part.

JUNIOR
Suppose, my dear, that you were I
And by your side your sweetheart sate;
Suppose you noticed by and by
The distance 'twixt you were too great;
Now tell me, dear, what would you do ?
I know-and so do you.
And when (so comfortably placed)
Suppose you only grew aware
That that dear, dainty little waist
Of hers looked very lonely there.
Pray tell me sooth-what would you do?
I know, and so do you.
When having done what I just did, 
With not a frown to check or chill, 
Suppose her red lips seemed to bid 
Defiance to your lordly will; 
Oh, tell me, sweet, what would you do? 
I know, and so do you.
-Eugene Field.

The Junior Class
AGES AGO, so it seems, nature planted in the Freshman field of Central Wesleyan College, some 
slightly sophisticated beings with little green topsy turvy tufts. They created a sensation and 
soon the youths of the campus became aware of the mysterious forms around them.  These grew in 
audacity until it became evident that some day they would rule Central Wesleyan College.  This, 
the first chapter of the history of our class, tells you the unbiased truth.

Chapter Two gives a picture of the class in a more advanced stage, with a lovable sauciness, yet 
devoid of conceit and snobbishness, as its members journeyed to and fro about the campus. The 
period is further characterized by the honorable contributions of some remarkably developed 
material, to the college, destined to become geniuses. Noticeable athletes sprang up in our midst 
and came to the front, representing the splendid spirit of the class in their desire to bring 
honor to our college.

Chapter Three brings a continuation of athletic, mental and moral attainment. Although our class 
has been decreased to only eighteen members, we entered the year with pep and renewed interest in 
the work before us. As a class we have always striven and shall continue to strive to attain our 
highest goal. We hope for the time when we shall emerge from our school existence, and enter into a 
new life, with new ideas, new purposes, new responsibilities, to become a social force in the life 
of today.

The class of '26 has never lost its vim, and it will be found in Chapter Four, striving upward to 
greater achievement, steadfastly adhering to the principles of our Alma Mater. -M. W. T.

You're not the first by whom this scheme was tried,
Nor yet the last one to have failed and cried.

The Sophomores
HAVING pried into the last twenty editions of the Pulse, as I have seen several others do, I have 
finally reached an unalterable decision. Having carefully brushed my sleeves and sneezed twice as 
a result of the dust acquired from the aforesaid ancient documents, I resolve that this article 
shall not begin in this manner: "Two years ago we entered this! school as green Freshmen, 
thirty-eight strong. This year as vain Sophs we number somewhere around twenty-eight." I know it is 
the approved style from ages long past but the Class of '27 entered this college neither as green 
Freshmen nor is it more vain than any other class, even though there is some justifiable reason 
for it.

Some president, in trying to gain popularity with the upper classmen, made a remark to the effect 
that a college would be better off without Freshmen and Sophomores. Looking upon the Class of 1928, 
a neutral spectator might agree with the aforesaid president and no one could greatly blame him. 
However, one look at the Sophomore Class would convince him of the fact that some presidents made 
mistakes. The truth is, you who see us every day, become so accustomed to our super-ability and 
latent powers that you are no longer duly impressed. For your benefit I shall briefly show you 
that the Sophomore Class is of vital importance to the school in the three principal branches of 
school life-the athletic, the intellectual and the social sphere.

In football the Class of 1927 was very ably represented by Reinhardt, Duewel, Proett, Wuethrich, 
Juergensmeyer and Schlegel while in basketball three of the eight members of the squad are 
Sophs-Duewel, Brandt and Reinhardt. That is what might be called a "fair" showing.

Intellectually, we are not surpassed. At least half of our class is headed for a "cum laude" even 
though not working for the honors, and the other members are reported to show such ability with 
original answers that it is quite possible the professors will grant them a "cum laude" also. In 
fact, we predict that at least thirty of twenty-six members will succeed brilliantly in life.

Socially, we need no introduction. The leap year party of the Class of 1927 was such a success that 
it seems the fame of it will follow us through our entire college career.

Well, I never did think much of that college president, anyway.-C. J. H.

"The manner of speaking is fully as important as the matter."-Schake.

The Sophomores-Freshman Class Fight

THE FRESHMAN CLASS became ambitious the night of the Junior Ex and felt that they ruled the campus, 
so promptly they decided to raise their colors. Not only did they raise their flags but placed 
their colors in Kessler and painted '28 on the large chimney of the heating plant. Their rule was 
short-lived, however, as the members of the upper classes proceeded to lower the beautiful Freshman 
colors and by eight-thirty, Thursday morning, all signs of a Freshman class, not only colors, were 
eradicated from the campus.

One of the flags was torn to shreds by the Sophs and each one of them displayed a part of it as a 
trophy. About 12:30, however, the clouds of war began to gather before Eisenmayer when a few Sophs 
flashed the flag before the Freshies present. Like a toreador in the arena the Sophies flashed and 
flipped the flag before the Freshies until like the bull incensed, they rushed toward the flag of 
their allegiance and grabbed it. THE FIGHT WAS ON !!! Like a snowball rolling down hill the fight 
gained in fury and size until at last fifteen Freshies and nine Sophs participated. During the 
fight eyes turned color, teeth grated, arms and legs twisted, even shoes were removed by one 
Freshie, who it seemed was enjoying the child-like pleasure of removing dad's or mother's 
slippers, and had not grown out of this stage of childhood as yet. Clothing was removed piece by 
piece without even stopping to unbutton it. (Tailor reports a net profit of $23.16 for week of 
March 2-6.) Thirty minutes of violent struggling and no decision, until at last one Freshie was 
seen pacing across the campus with a strip of goods which was identified later as the much coveted 
banner. Tugging at it had torn it into small bits so that anyone could have run with a red 
handkerchief and it would have been mistaken for the flag. So the Freshies in victory had been 
defeated, since in securing their banner they had accomplished the task of the Sophs, namely that 
of destroying the Freshie colors.

A fierce fight it was but the wonderful sportsmanship and good fellowship made it a pleasure and 
sport for the participants. No blows were struck and no serious injuries sustained and much 
entertainment was afforded the upper classmen, academy, and faculty. All in all, everything is 
O. K., and now again peace reigns at C. W. C.-F. S.

"A kiss is like a bottle of olives, after you get the first one the rest come easy."-Ehlert.

FRESHMAN

From many schools across the land,
Right merrily they came,
Each lad and lass with visions grand
So sure were they of fame;
High up, the eyes of the Freshmen gaze
Midst the years of the Seniors bold,
And tact and training the Freshman displays
Neath the scorn of the Sophomores cold.
Content are they, in their new regime, 
Latin and English and all the rest, 
And study time's a pleasant dream. 
So anxious are they to do their best, 
Succeed they must in the four year's test.


(72)

The Freshman

HAIL to the class of 1928! The fall of 1924 saw boys and girls from all over the country join this 
class, desirous of being one of its members. Representatives from Missouri, Illinois, Wisconsin, 
Texas, Oregon, Alaska, Kansas and even the Philippines, assembled to make this the best and most 
illustrious class in the college.

We have been beset by trials, ridicule, and difficulties. Our boys were forced to toil and sweat 
and in their Freshman inexperience were induced to buy radiators and chapel seats in Kessler Hall, 
while our girls were made to expend a great deal of time and "elbow grease" in polishing shoes and 
sewing-en missing buttons for the poor, helpless upper classmen who, though so learned (?) in 
books, seemed utterly ignorant of this fine art. But through it all we have come out a better 
and bigger class than if we had never met such handicaps. We are represented by members in the 
literary societies, on the varsity football team, varsity basket ball squad, college chorus, 
college quartette, college band, "Pep" Club and "W" Club, in fact, the Freshmen are into nearly 
everything. We are proud of our attainments and hope by the development of the talents we 
possess, to be the best class ever graduated from Central Wesleyan College.

Under the leadership of the class officers, elected the first part of the School year, beneath 
the colors of scarlet and silver, we live by the motto: "Always behind, before-Now at last, first."

We glory in our possibilities and realize that new, as well as in the future, we shall serve mankind 
because of the knowledge and the "knocks" we have received here.

When in later life, we look back on our college, we are sure our favorite memories shall be of 
the Freshman Class.-R. W.

Fourth Academy
COLLEGE LIFE and college activities are always looked back upon by men who have entered the whirl 
of life, with great satisfaction. One is never too busy to stop and think about those things in 
which he took part during his college days, and the many friends he made.  Yet this memory is 
governed by the part which you and your chums took in the activities at school.
We have only thirty students in the illustrious Fourth Academy class, but after you are told 
just a little about each one you will agree with me that we have thirty select students.
On our list are the following:
Arlene Astroth, who's motto is "Little, But Loud"; Emil Bebermeyer, who thinks Brutus was a wire 
man; Alpha Bryant, if you just look at her right, resembles Abraham Lincoln in many respects; 
Grace Chrismer, our "Uold Locks"; Jessie Cordry, who sings "Where he leads me I will follow"; 
Helen Ereiser, who will make a good student, although she just came from the third academy this 
last semester; Doran Hendershott, who once heard some one say, "There is no rest for the wicked," 
and ever since has been doubtful of his character; Gustave Hoech, will make a good foot ball 
player some day, even though he has some competition in the class; Rosalind Hohn, whose ideal 
is that of Priscilla "Meek and Modest"; Dorothy Keithley, who says, "Variety is the spice of 
life"; Nellie Keithley, who says, "The^ life of an old maid is a beautiful life"; Mary Leek, 
who once said it was^ easy to study physics, especially on laboratory days; Nelson Martin, who' 
marches to his classes to the rattle of his drum; Edith Meier, who was caught studying the other 
day; Gladys Meyer, who is our most honorable and efficient president, has done much for our 
welfare and still finds time to make "S's" and "E's" in her studies. We say "You can't hold a 
good fellow down"; Gladys Nieburg comes from the town of Wright City, so we couldn't expect 
anything but a sweet girl; Adelia Michel says she will be there with bells on; Lorenz Ordelheide, 
a regular "Long Fellow"; Bertha Preul says "Two are better than one in a pinch"; William Ratje, 
our preacher; Ethel Ritter, what she lacks in one way she makes up for in another; Frederick 
Roehrig, one look is sufficient to prove he will be a great man some day; Inez Schlabach, our 
"Rook Wizzard" ; Harold Schmidt, "One trial merits another," he says. He is a little bashful but 
his music speaks for him; William, Schulze, he has; learned from John Alden's mistake and speaks 
for himself; Emma Schwart-zenbach, who will some day tell the people in China about this wonderful 
class; Wallace Seger, who can talk German almost as well as Alvin Meine; Lydda Vahle, whose 
favorite pastime is reading "Love Stories"; Edna Wehr-man, who says bobbed hair has no meaning; 
Delia Salzwedel, who spent two years studying a dead language, or Latin, says, that it has almost 
come to life. 
Watch our smoke.-D. H.

The Fourth Academy Play
THE PROGRESS of Central Wesleyan Academy, which has been gradually developing under the efficient 
administration of- its principals, showed itself this year when the Senior Class gave the first 
play in the history of the school.
Two comedies were presented. The first, entitled, "The Florist's Shop," in one act, was clever 
and attractive. The stage, beautifully decorated to resemble a florist's shop, drew much admiration 
and many compliments from the audience.
The second, entitled "Our Career," a comedietta also in one act, likewise created a lot of fun.
The participants realized their responsibility to make the evening a success and put forth their 
very best dramatic ability.
The class attributes much of the success of these plays to the competent and thorough coaching of 
Miss Glidden and Professor Chiles.
The unselfish spirit, the splendid co-operation, and fine fellowship shown by the class, also, 
made the efforts necessary in presenting a play a pleasant and worth while task.-G. M.
The casts of the plays were as follows:
THE FLORIST'S SHOP
CHARACTERS: 
Maude, the florist's bookkeeper ............Miss Gladys Nieburg
Henry, an ordinary, tough, but impressionable office boy .......... Mr. Gustave Hoech
Slovsky, the middle-aged Jewish proprietor of the shop ........ Mr. Doran Hendershott

Mr. Jackson, solemn and somewhat pompous in manner -

Third Academy History
wE ARE the illustrious Class of 1926. One score and one strong, our class is represented on the 
girls' basket ball squad, Pep club, and the league teams of outstanding ability.

Actually, all the wit digested by the college, as well as the Academy, originated in the Third 
Academy.

We can well prove this, for the best jokes are not printed, but run around on two legs.

The Third Academy prides itself on being different from the other classes. We are striving onward 
and upward to reach our goal of knowledge. We are tackling the most difficult courses in the Academy 
and are glad to say that we are successfully mastering Solid Geometry, Advanced Algebra, and 
Mechanical Drawing. Some are looking forward to making successful business men and women through 
this training received in the Commercial Department.

It is our earnest desire that other classes may profit by our success and allow us to give a few 
words of advice.
I.
"Don't linger in the hallways,
Or sit upon the stairs;
Don't whisper during chapel,
Or sit around in pairs.
If you do, you must be careful
And look all about;
For the Faculty will catch you,
If you don't watch out.
II.
Don't try to bum your classes; 
Or try to bluff your way; 
Don't neglect your lessons 
Which come once every day. 
If you do, you must be careful 
And look all about; 
For the Faculty may catch you 
And decide "To flunk you out."
"I see you are early of late; you used to be behind before, and now you are first at last."

Academy Class of '27
THIS is station CWA, our radio letters meaning "Central Wesleyan Academy," broadcasting from the dome 
of Kessler Hall at Warrenton, Mo.  The personnel of our Class of '27 is known throughout the land as 
a wise bunch as they have come to Wesleyan for their education. The members of this class were at 
the beginning of last year the greenest of Freshmen.  They came from widely scattered parts of the 
country and brought with them the mannerisms and ideals of their communities.  These were sifted 
and welded into a compact mass which gave the class a basis for action.  Action they had, too, 
securing for themselves admiration, respect, and honor.  Having been so successful on their first 
venture, most of the old class members returned to Wesleyan at the beginning of this year bringing 
with them six new members.  This year has been even more successful for them than the last was.  
This class is one continuous source of supply for practically all the Academy and College activities.  
They are represented on the CeWesCo athletic teams, en the fighting League teams, in the literary 
societies, in Y. M. and Y. W., and many other activities.  Among their membership is a generous 
sprinkling of E and S students, orators, debaters, musicians, singers, and all around good sports.

First Academy

ONCE upon a time, as all interesting stories begin, a great pilgrimage took place. It was not great 
because of numbers but because of the greatness of the pilgrims. Their destiny was C. W. A. and 
their goal is to some day speak of C. W. C. as their Alma Mater.

Among these illustrious wayfarers you will find Clara Ellerman who rejoices when she pulls down 
an E.

Clifford Fulks, who is our foot ball star, would like to set an example for the rest of the class.

Louise  Kelley  and  her  sister  Virginia  plod  their  weary  way  from Truesdale every day to 
join their class mates.

Then comes Anna Petzold who journeys from the "WEST END" nearly every day to take her bookkeeping 
lessons of which she is very fond.

William Thoroughman, wished there never was such a thing as English.

Leona Wegener, the shark in Algebra, is most industrious and will some day be a shark in music if 
the good work keeps up.

Now don't you think it worth your time to give fifteen rahs for the Freshman Academy Class of '24 
and '25?-H. S. B.

Conservatory of Music
MUSIC, besides having much cultural value, is one of the greatest arts God has given man. Says 
Dr. P. P. Claxton, former U. S. Commissioner of Education, "sooner or later we shall not only 
recognize the cultural value of music, but we shall also begin to understand that, after the 
beginning of reading, writing, arithmetic, and geometry, music has a greater practical value 
than any subject taught in the schools."
Twenty-five years ago there were few educators who would have subscribed to the above statement. 
Today there are legions.
Twenty-five years ago few universities or colleges and no high schools granted credits in music. 
Today practically every university, or college with a department of music, and high schools almost 
without number, grant such credits.
This all goes to show the wonderful strides music has made, as a factor in education, the last 
quarter of a century. Again cities are more than ever supporting large orchestras and bands. 
Municipal auditoriums, great business concerns (such as Wannamaker's) and high schools are being 
equipped with costly pipe organs upon which monthly, weekly, and in some instances daily recitals 
are given.
Central Wesleyan College long since recognized the practical as well as cultural value of music 
and hence has recognized the department of music as an integral part of our institution. The 
conservatory, recognizing the fact that talents and tastes differ, offers pupils the choice of 
several organizations to develop their talents and gratify their tastes-college chorus, band, 
orches-orchestra, etc.
Those who desire may study piano, violin, organ, or theory with the assurance that the conservatory 
faculty is one of the strongest ever assembled tra, and others.
Every faculty member has had years of experience in recital work. In order to give students and the 
community an opportunity to become better acquainted with the best in music, several faculty 
recitals, and choral works will be given each school year. Besides there are fortnight student 
recitals and concerts in addition to an occasional lyceum number. The intention is not only to 
teach music, but also to cultivate an appreciation for good music.

Expression Department
THE aim of this department is to train students to express their individuality, their thoughts 
and emotions, effectively before an audience. A course in Public Speaking is required of all who 
expect to graduate from college.  This course helps to develop ease, power, and self control before 
an audience, and actual practice in speaking received in the class room will prove valuable to men 
and women of any profession.  Self-posession is the central idea.
Other courses are offered which are value to the minister, the teacher, the doctor, and the community 
worker as well as to those specializing in the art of expression.
In order to graduate from this department, a four years high school course is required and a 
definite amount of private work in addition to giving a Junior and Senior recital* All private 
students participate in recitals given throughout the year. This not only gives them confidence in 
appearing before an audience, but it helps them to become graceful, natural, and powerful.-A. G.

The Engineer Drawing Department

ENGINEER Drawing was formerly included in the Art Department but the desire for an extended and 
detailed course called for a division and today we have the initial class in Engineer Drawing 
since the department has become a separate division.
To meet the requirements in this department is by no means an easy task; for both the born artist 
and the one not blest with the coveted artistic touch, alike must present the specified number of 
Drawing plates. The born artist is very little in advance of the average student, for the implements 
and their use are as strange to the one as they are to the other. Indeed the course is not a luxury 
or a pastime, but patience and long suffering must be exerted at all times.
These ambitious pupils study, and draw plans to perfect and add the artistic touch to furniture; 
exterior and interior house plans; architecture* in wood, brick, cement, stone, etc.; machinery 
and parts, both gas and electrical; practically all designs in science and invention.
Surely in this age our Engineer Drawing Department cannot be dispensed with, and indications tend 
toward a larger and better equipped department than ever in the history of our College.-A. L.

Theological Seminar

CHRISTIAN Leadership and Christian Life-Service are recognized by all churches as the outstanding 
needs of our age.  To meet this need Central Wesleyan College maintains a Theological Department.  
Its aim is to thoroughly equip young men and young women to render efficient Life service as 
ministers, Sunday School teachers, and social workers in America, and as missionaries in foreign 
countries.  It has always been one of the most important departments of the College.  About 
one-third of the graduates of C. W. C. have entered the Christian ministry or foreign mission work.

Eighteen courses are offered to those, desiring to enter some phase of Christian life-work. 
Instruction is given by four professors, special courses being offered in Religious Education and 
Rural Work as well as in Bible and Religion.

Practical training as well as classroom work is stressed. Many students in this department serve 
as pastors of nearby churches, while others participate in Gospel Team work and serve as teachers 
and officers in the Epworth League and Sunday Schools of Warrenton and Truesdale. Every Thursday 
evening a seminar for those interested in religious work is held for the purpose of practical work, 
the professors speaking and conducting open forum on phases of religious work, the students 
delivering sermons, which are followed by discussion of the best methods of effective preaching.-G. W.
"Eat, drink and get married."-Motto of the Senior Class.

Of all the arts beneath the heaven,

Slight emblem of the bliss above, 
It soothes the spirit all to love.

Orchestra

MORE music" is the cry of the crowd at the Mass Meetings, plays, debates, and oratorical contests, 
and in order to satisfy this call the musicians of C. W. C. organized the college orchestra. The 
members decided that this year the college should have the best orchestra ever. Miss Knoblock, 
instructor of violin, was chosen to conduct the orchestra and under her direction it has developed 
into a musical organization not only of notes but of note.

The appearance of the orchestra at any kind of event adds zest and pep to the program. The different 
instruments have been so well harmonized that it does not sound as many instruments but as one 
great instrument played by some master musician. The orchestra is a necessary factor to school life 
at C. W. C. and has contributed much to the enjoyment of programs where it has made its 
appearance.-L. N.

C.W.C. Band

THE C. W. C. Band, composed of 30 pieces is one of the best, if not the best, band Central 
Wesleyan has ever had. C. W. C. shows a, remarkable amount of musical talent among the boys 
this year as is evident when we consider the band.

The Band has made several trips to nearby towns to give concerts there. On October 16, it went to 
New Melle; December 6, to Marthasville. Friday night, January 30, the band broadcasted a concert 
from St. Louis Post Dispatch Broadcasting Station. By telegrams and letters we found that the 
concert was heard all over the United States. The Band is a compact organization. It has elected as 
general manager, Arnold Dreyer; as librarian, Howard Hendershott; as stage manager, Traugott Rohner; 
and as band director, Carl Fischer. Although the band is a student organization, Prof. Kleinschmidt 
has kindly given them his personal care and instruction. He is ever willing to help them and for his 
excellent instruction and direction the band is truly and sincerely grateful.

A dozen or more concerts have been planned by the band, the best and largest one to be given at 
Warrenton in the spring. The band is ever increasing and will lose only a few men this year,so next 
year's band also promises to be a "real" one.

The College Male Quartette

IT is the testimony of innumerable lovers of music, that one of the most pleasant and effective 
ways of presenting songs is through harmonizing male voices.  The college quartette is an 
organization that dates back many years, it has become a part of the institution, it is indispensable 
when a complete set of activities is desired.  The members of the quartette are showing a keen 
interest in their work, and what is equally important the student body is giving loyal support to 
the organization and appreciative attention to the public appearances of the quartette.

There is something mysterious about four men's voices singing their various parts. One is inspired 
and uplifted when listening or taking part in it. Besides the annual concert and songs on various 
occasions on the campus, the quartette gives a number of concerts and gospel programs in the 
neighboring towns, sometimes going as far as Hermann, Berger and Owensville, and in one instance 
giving a series of programs in Illinois. On January 30 they accompanied the band to give a concert 
from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Broadcasting Station.

The personnel of the Quartette is Harvey Morre, first tenor; Paul Hake, second tenor; Carl Fischer, 
baritone; Gilbert Wieting, second base, and Prof. Oliver Kleinchmidt, director and accompanist.

He treats 'em rough; "Yea bo!" his motto. 
Know whom I mean? If you don't-you Otto.

Church Quartette

WE read in the Pulse of 1923 that, "The Church Quartette is not a strictly college organization 
but is indirectly connected with the college."  This statement provokes modification if not direct 
contradiction.  These four singers are college folks who from Sunday to Sunday sing to college 
folks in the college church.  They are, therefore, more strictly a college organization than the 
male quartette or the various gospel teams and serve the college more directly than these.

This quartette consists of two students: Miss Lela Bunte, alto, and Mr. Harvey Morre, tenor, and 
two members of the faculty: Miss Ruth Zimmermann, soprano, and Prof. G. C. Hohn, bass. They meet 
regularly twice every week for rehearsal under the direction of Professor O. H. Kleinschmidt and 
render their anthem at the Sunday morning service, thus giving to the church about three hours of 
their time each week. It goes without saying^ however, that they do this willingly and gladly.

Quite justly the question is often asked: "Why do we not have a student choir in our church?" 
Answer; "Because all the extra music in the college church is entirely voluntary and without 
remuneration." Attempts to organize and keep up such choir for regular service have invariably 
failed. Successful choir work depends upon proper planning and definite preparation for each 
particular church service and that presupposes that the choir members who have been counted on are 
regular and punctual in their attendance at the rehearsals and at the service. -G. H.

Silence is golden, I'm a bright son.-Fischer.

The Chorus

THE COLLEGE CHORUS of about thirty-five voices was organized in the fall of the year, with 
Professor O. H. Kleinschmidt as Director. On December 17, the cantata, "The Promise and 
Fulfillment," by Ashford, was given in the College Church. This was quite a success in every 
way.  The chorus was so thoroughly trained that no conductor was needed.
Several numbers will be sung by the chorus at the next faculty recital, and another cantata, 
"The Crucifixion," by Stainer, will be given Easter.
Plans are being made to present "II Trovatore," by Verdi, at Commencement.-G. W.

Debate

THE MEN'S DEBATING TEAMS represent one of the forensic organizations of Central Wesleyan College. 
The present coach is responsible for developing intercollegiate debate during his sixteen years of 
connection with the college.  A group of young men expressed great interest in the art of debating 
and competing with other colleges in forensics which caused him to offer his assistance to bring 
about such a contest.  That was in 1912.  Since that time debates have been an annual event with 
the generations of students.

A year or two later the oratorical and debating interests were grouped and more effectively 
organized under the direction of the Board of oratory and Debate, A definite amount of money, a 
portion of the incidental fees, are at the disposal of this board with which to meet the expenses 
arising incidental to such activities.

This year witnessed a larger number of teams and a larger number of debates scheduled than at any 
time since the organization ot our debating career. Three men's teams are slated to debate Central 
College, Missouri Valley, Missouri Wesleyan, Westminster, McKendree and Eden Theological Seminary. 
Two of the teams debate the alfirmative and negative of the question: Resolved, That Congress should 
have the power by a two-thirds majority vote to override decisions of the Supreme Court of the 
United States declaring a law unconstitutional. George C. Dyer and Arnold Dreyer uphold the 
affirmative, and Gilbert Wieting and Raymond Sturgis the negative side of the question. Milton 
Bierbaum ana Clarence Essman are debating the question: Resolved, That the i-hilippine islands 
should be granted their independence immediately. They uphold the affirmative.

The girls' debating teams are two in number. They are, Amanda Schake, Sylvia Krueger, Edmee 
Diekroeger and Edna Winter. They, too, debate the Supreme Court question. These girls are slated 
to meet Missouri Wesleyan and Central Colleges. We are happy to know that after a two years 
interval of no debate, the girls are showing new interest.-J.H.

Prize Oration

"The World's Problem for Peace- Our Part"

WE hear men of world-wide experience say and often read in the newspapers that the greatest and 
most urgent problem of the world today is peace. In other words: War must cease * * * There may 
be nations as well as individuals who cannot believe it is possible, but it is a fact that war has 
proved itself the greatest menace of the world. Therefore, it must cease.

War originated in man. It began with two brothers. He who was wrong killed him who was right. The 
same procedure gradually developed among men until it came to its largest estate. It became the war 
of all the people.

From the time war existed it has always been destructive of human prosperity and human happiness. 
Again and again it has changed the happy atmosphere of millions of homes into bitter sorrow. It has 
trained individuals and nations to be as fierce and hostile as they could be toward one another. It 
has destroyed faith and confidence between friends and relatives. It has promoted skill to kill 
fellow human beings. And finally, it has made countless cities and nations desolate: Babylon, 
Carthage, Jerusalem, Assyria, Persia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, and now all Europe, all the world are 
well known victims of this great scourge.

Some may hold that war is beneficial, so that it may be called the necessary evil. But has there 
been any single war on the face of the globe, both sides of which were in the right ? Did not the 
nations rise against one another because of greed? Or with desire for economic imperialism? Or of 
territorial expansion? Or for racial hatred? Or because of the lust of power? Was not the basis 
selfishness? History tells us that wars have been won more by the wrong than by the right, and have 
more often been decided by might than by right.

War never ended war. On the contrary it produced a greater one. The World War did not have enough 
power to prevent the possible war to come. Although final and permanent peace was the hope of the 
millions of soldiers as they laid down their lives on the fields of battle, it is sad to say that 
the nations are arming themselves for a greater struggle. France today has more than twice as many 
men in arms than before the World War. Nations are advancing in the science of warfare so that the 
possible coming war will not take place so much on land as in the air, using poison gas, which will 
exterminate thousands and even millions of people in a city within a few minutes. Thoughtful men in 
all parts of the world say that militarism, if continued, will cause the down-fall of civilization.

It is evident that war is far worse than famine or pestilence. There is no language that can fully 
describe its horrors and its dreadful consequences. Famine can be overcome by commerce, pestilence 
by science, but neither of the two can prevent war. In the words of Dr. Charles E. Jefferson: 
"Science cannot kill war. Commercial progress, law and education cannot stop war." Who then will 
end war? *****

Our wonderful world would be ninety-nine per cent better off today if war had never existed; if the 
time and efforts wasted had been used for construction; if the buildings, palaces, churches and 
cities destroyed, had been


(125)

preserved; if the legions of soldiers had been producers rather than consumers; if the billions 
upon billions of lives that untimely passed away could have lived longer to make more improvements; 
and if we could gather all the money spent in wars in order to establish and maintain public 
institutions and pay missionaries to go over the world and proclaim the good tidings of peace.

But to denounce war is not enough. The necessary antidotes must be found. All nations must come 
together in one accord. In ancient days, there were the Jews and the Samaritans; the Greeks and 
the Romans; the Persians and the Medes; the bond and the free; all with their spirit of pride and
mutual hatred toward one another, but there came a day when they were all thrilled by that most 
precious word, "P E A C E." Then the impossible among men was made possible by the Almighty Architect 
of the Universe, when they who had been speaking in different tongues and thinking different 
thoughts understood one another. Nations, like individuals, can understand each other and be united 
in peace. While there are large and small nations, strong and weak, those far advanced and those 
behind in civilization; nevertheless they can all come together to recognize a common universal 
standard of right. They can surrender themselves to the requirements of justice provided by the 
principles of the "League of Nations." Their rights shall be protected by the "World Court of 
Justice" when firmly established, which will try all our international disputes, instead of appeals 
to arms. Then long desired peace will take its place and war will come to its end.

In order that the world may come to that glorious state, it is necessary that the people of the time 
should feel more than past generations a deeper reverence for humanity. They should realize that men 
arc not simply living in a local community, or in a busy city, or in a great, beautiful country; but 
THEY ARE LIVING IN THE WORLD. Humanity must mean to every one the equality of being, that human souls 
are equally precious. Differences of race, color, creed, and religion are not known. Humanity values 
man not according to his wealth, power, rank, education, nationality, or race, but according to his 
possibilities of behavior and character.

The chief curse of mankind today is chauvinism. A new patriotism must take its place. Fine 
organizations, such as the "Women's Christian Temperance Union," "The Red Cross," "The Fellowship 
of Reconciliation," and many others which have for their purpose promoting the spirit of brotherhood, 
and overthrowing the causes of wars, must receive the encouragement and support of every individual 
of a nation; for they are working together to produce world harmony and banish forever the numberless 
causes for strife.

The highest patriotism of man, is when he is concerned, not only for the welfare of his own state, 
but for the welfare of the world, and does his part. When his mind is not centered on himself, when 
his interest stretches forth far beyond his national boundary lines so far that his concerns 
overlap with those of others. When a man contributes for the saving of the Belgians, the Armenians, 
the Russians and the Germans in their misery, then his ego has expanded as far as those countries 
and has come into a closer relationship with those peoples. If he gives his help to the Chinese 
victims of famine and to the Japanese victims of the earthquake, then they become a part of his 
larger self. A process like that, if it can become world-wide, will soon make war impossible, and 
provincialism, the petty hatred and selfishness which are the enemies of peace, would no longer 
exist.

Above all, my friends, the most important, the greatest and the grandest factor of peace is LOVE 
AMONG MEN. The greatest teacher of the world


(126)

expounded in his life the complete meaning of these words when he said: "Love thy neighbor as 
thyself," and again "Love thy enemies." He came into the world to establish peace by means of 
love, not only in his nation, but among all people. Friends, we may try to establish peace by using 
all our human efforts, but out-side of the golden rule of love, nothing can last. Only in love can 
the world hope for permanent peace, because love purifies the heart.

My thought is that for Peace, God and Religion are infinitely -important. That no man or nation can 
get along without them. As an eminent man has wisely said: "Only religion can kill war, for religion 
creates new hearts. Without religion we are without hope in the world. Without the God of Love we 
are lost."

There is no other religion that has the unique place to carry out the world's problem of peace but 
the Christian religion of love. Others are waiting, for they lack the greatest thing. We, therefore, 
who profess it, must see that we do our vital part; that we love our neighbors as God loves us; 
that His teaching is proclaimed in the islands of the seas and beyond the seas, so that the Prince 
of Peace shall soon reign. Let us. as Christians, teach the world that war is absolutely 
detrimental, that it is ours to be the followers of the Author of Peace. For two centuries, the 
members of the early Christian Church absolutely refused to enlist in any of the wars of the 
empire. They went to their death at the stake and to the mouths of the lions rather than fight. 
We must carry out that spirit in heathen countries as well as in Christian lands. The Romans said 
of the Christians, "Behold how they love one another." And in astonishment they added: "They love 
one another without knowing each other." This must be our spirit:

"The crest and crowning of all good life's final star, is Brotherhood;
For it will bring again to earth her long lost poesy and mirth;
Will send new light on every face, a kingly power upon the race,
And 'till it come we, men are slaves, and travel downward to dust and graves.
Come, clear the way, then, clear the way; blind creeds and kings have had their day.
Break the dead branches in the path; our hope is in aftermath,
Our hope is in heroic men, startled to build the world again,
To his event ages ran; make way for Brotherhood, make way for man."

The peaceful world of tomorrow is in the hands of the twenty-five million Christians in the world 
today who are determined to abolish war and establish permanent peace. They are in different 
organizations scattered all over the world. They are doing their active work in kindness and love 
through individual acts and charitable institutions. Think of the great army of peace-workers; they 
are calling for volunteers. Friends: Are you enlisted? Here is the place where all can unite. This 
the time when we can show our highest heroic spirit. This is the time when we all can vor'ce in 
unison the universal sentiment: War shall be no more; Peace and Justice shall prevail and ever reign.

As a mighty army marching in truth and love,
Brothers, we must tread now where the heroes have trod,
We are not divided, all one body we,
One in mind, one in charity,
One in hope, one in victory,
Of the only one Great Humanity.
-ARTURO CABACUNGAN.

Board of Oratory and Debate

WHAT ATHLETICS are to physical development, debating and oratory are to mental growth.  The former 
by means of competitive feats of strength develops a strong, sound body, able to withstand the 
attacks of disease and the various hardships of life ; the latter, by whetting the wits, by 
sharpening the intellect, and by hard study, prepare one to meet the fierce mental competition of 
modern life with success.  It is true that physical strength is necessary for the carrying on of 
any great undertaking, but it is equally true that without brain power the physical forces would 
soon spend themselves without success.

Co-operating with the Athletic Board, the Board of Oratory and Debate seeks to develop forensics 
as the former board seeks to advance the cause of Athletics. It is composed of three faculty members 
and two students, the latter being elected by the students themselves. As now constituted, the board 
consists of the following persons: Dr. John Helmers, Chairman; Miss Rose Hackman, Secretary; 
Mr. Wendell Evans, Treasurer; Miss Astrid Glidden, Prof. Ira N. Chiles.

"Always working; never shirking."-Cornelia.

This poem was written upon seeing a bashful couple sitting on a bench in the park.

Much Thinking

If I thought she thought the thought I think 
I wouldn't be so fearful; 
But to think my thought she may not think 
Makes me most mighty "keerful."

I think she thinks I think I love her, 
And that helps me a little; 
She thinks, I think, she thinks she loves me; 
But she is non-committal.

I never thought I'd think the thought 
I think I'm ever thinking: 
But think, and think and think I must, 
And wonder what she's thinking.

I think I'll think the thought I've thought, 
And then approach her boldly; 
If she thinks what I think she's thought, 
She will not treat me coldly.

Oh, I've thought and thought and thought 
What she thinks of the matter; 
Till my heart that once went pitty-pat 
Is going pitty-patter.

So I must learn the thought she thinks, 
For think I cannot longer 
Of thoughts I wonder if she thinks 
My love is growing stronger.

Oh! I thought she thought the thought I thought
And now, umh! I know it, Oh! 
For I told her the thought I thought 
And she said, "I think ditto."
-William Forney Hovis.

Memories of Initiation

I can hear the fall of the paddle 
And a poor Freshman's refrain, 
And a feeling of sadness comes over
Me, that seems to resemble pain.

So I hie me away to my room, 
And put on a few pairs of pants, 
And wedge in a big paper bustle 
Belonging to one of my aunts.

But they call me out of chapel, 
And ask me to remove surplus clothes, 
So with their able bodied assistance,
I get myself ready to pose.

I take a recumbent position, 
The paddle then comes into play, 
The pledges sit around on the campus,
And watch the sad matinee.

They shut their hard jaws together, 
I feel at every rebound, 
They put on a vermillion finish, 
Where my back forms sort of a mound.

Such things have power to quiet 
The restless pulse of care, 
But they make it rather uneasy 
To sit on a hard bottomed chair.

Come read to me some poem, 
Some favorite prescription lay 
That will soothe this restless feeling 
And take the stingers away.

The pledges shall cease their sobbing, 
And all troubles shall be laid away, 
We will silently fold our breeches, 
And silently hit the hay.
-Missouri Wesleyan Owl.

Scene in the Philo-Garfield Play, "Only 38"

"Only 38"

ONLY 38" a three-act play by A. E. Thomas was presented to the public December 3, 1924, by 
Philomathia and Garfield Literary Societies. The characters for the play were well chosen by Miss 
Astrid Glidden who also coached the play.

Miss Effie Bebermeyer played the part of Mrs. Stanley, the ministers widow who was only 38 years of 
age. This character of a mother who longed for a little gayety and love in life and above all the 
right of self expression was excellently portrayed in a modest, motherly manner.

Mr. Andrew Runge caused the audience to have many hearty laughs as he skillfully imitated the jolly 
old grandfather, Sanborn, who expressed his daughter's unspoken wish to have "just one squint at 
all the glory and shame in this old world."

The twins "Bob" and Lucy were impersonated by Lawrence Wuethrich and Cornelia Helmers. Everyone 
seemed to enjoy their quarrels, Bob's contempt for "girl stuff" and yet the interest he was not 
able to conceal in some one else's sister, Mary Hadley, Lucy's infatuation for the Professor and 
then later Bob's chum Sydney Johnson.

The role of Prof. Giddings, the handsome English professor, and Mrs. Stanley's love was well played 
by Mr. Melvin Nieburg. Mr. Herman Proett as bashful Sydney Johnson, certainly acted the part of 
the bashful adolescent to perfection.

The characters of Bob and Lucy's school friends, Mary Hadley, Alice, Charlie and Jimmy were acted 
by Celia Liese, Elsie Brandhorst, Seachardt Reinhardt and Carl Helmers.

Mrs. Newcomb and Mrs. Peters, two of the former Rev. Stanley's parish-oners, were portrayed by Rose 
Hackman and Sylvia Krueger. Just to see their costumes was enough but the sneezing Rose did was 
worth the price of the admission.

Philomathia Literary Society

THE PHILOMATHIA SOCIETY, one of the oldest and undoubtedly one of the best societies in the 
history of Central Wesleyan, began this year with the usual amount of enthusiasm. The society 
is still
living up to its motto, "Rowing, not drifting."

The novel way in which six new members were taken into its ranks was an interesting event. Each 
member represented a different character, such as a blushing bride, a wash women and a scrub 
woman. An old maid was in the procession, too, though later in the school year she became an 
actual blushing bride. A gypsy fortune teller was also among us. To make the procession more 
aristrocratic the Queen of Sheba appeared. The way the girls were initiated showed a great deal 
of ingenuity on the part of some of the members.

Another important event was the election of new officers. The retiring officers performed their 
duties well, but it seems the society showed exceedingly good judgment in the selection of new 
officers. They have taken up the work with the idea of making the organization progress. The 
members also have the same idea, for they readily respond to any request made of them.

Perhaps the outstanding event of the year was the play, "Only 38," given by Philomathia and 
Garfield members. It has been reported that this play was one of the best that has ever been given 
by either of the societies.

During the remainder of the year the members will endeavor to maintain the same high standard of 
excellence. - G. D.

Garfield Literary Society

IT HAS always been a potent fact that education is a controlling factor in the social as well as 
the business world.  Education must not be a complexity of theories, but a practical working force.  
Through the literary societies of Central Wesleyan College the traits that make for efficient 
citizenship are developed.

From Wall Street to the mountains of Oregon you will find Garfieldians steering the ship of state. 
We love to speak of the past but we are living today and in the future.

Garfield is still active. Each year new men come in, from which the best are selected to fill up 
the ranks of those who have passed from these collegiate halls.

Among our members are men of various abilities. In oratory and debate Garfield has always been 
represented. Only recently a Garfield man was an applicant for the Rhodes Scholarship, taking 
third place among thirty-six contestants from different colleges and universities. Garfield is 
active in religious work, such as Y. M. C. A. and Gospel team work. In football and basket ball 
she stands in front, boasting eight men of the fighting eleven. Go where you will on the campus, 
gridiron, or in the classroom, in the Orient or Occident you will find friends of Garfield.

Underneath it all lies that spirit of brotherhood that lasts, not only a while on the gridiron or 
the platform, but goes with us and is as a beacon light guiding us through many a narrow pass and 
leading us when the clouds hang low, "Excelsior" is still the motto to help bring cheer and 
gladness to humanity.-A. C. R.

"Life is short and so am I,"-Fritz.

Goethenia Literary Society

LOOKING over the old records of the various societies of Central Wes-leyan College, we learn that 
Goethenia Literary Society is a descendant of Goethenia Oratorical Association, which originated in 
1865 and at that time was composed of men only.  As usually is the case, we find that the members  
of Goethenia  Oratorical  Association  co-operated  most remarkably with those of the opposite sex 
who organized a Clionia Society. Their talent was soon recognized by the other social circles, and 
before long they were contestants in the race for literary fame.

In 1913, ladies were admitted to Goethenia Society and this proved to be a wise move, as is shown by 
the greater accomplishments since, in 1917 the organization was rechristened assuming the name of 
Goethenia Literary Society. The same year also gave birth to the Goethenia Echo, which has always 
added much zest to the programs.

Goethenia counts among its ranks representatives from many states, they come from the east and the 
west, from the north and the south, but still they have in common their great ambitions and high 
ideals, and by working together in harmony with the other organizations it tries to assist the 
college in preparing young people for a more efficient life. It endeavors to offer its members that 
which is of vital importance in their training, giving them a broader outlook upon life. The most 
outstanding aim is to encourage individual expression for that is what really makes for success in 
life.

The society has a variety of the best talents, for great ambitions and high ideals naturally 
encourage talent. Such a type of student is indispensible to all college activities and Goethenia 
has its representatives in all the various fields of college life.

As our fellow Goethenians leave our halls we feel a sore spot in our hearts, but yet when we 
realize that they will put, what they learned, into practice, and that we will be able to receive 
others into our folds, we are inspired to put forth our best efforts to make every year count for 
the most.

Considering a history that has.stood the test and a membership of such high qualities Goethenia is 
bound to have a most promising future, but let us keep in mind our watchword, "Mehr Licht," so 
that we may not be led astray.-L.Y.

"He would make Demosthanes look to his laurels."-Shaggy.

Aristonian Literary Society

ABOUT three years ago there were organized three societies in the Academy.  The one exclusively 
for boys, known as the Debating Society; the Whittiers for girls and boys; and the one exclusively 
for high minded and ambitious girls.  The last mentioned is the Aristo-nian Society, the only 
Academy society at present.  Not what we are able to do now, but what we gain to fit us for what 
we may offer the world when we go from here is our aim.

Central Wesleyan Star

THE appearance of grey hair, wrinkles innumerable, and hollow, melancholy eyes among certain campus 
journalists bear witness that Central Wesleyan has a college paper published by the students. Many 
congratulatory letters from old graduates awakened interest of the whole student body, and an ever 
growing circulation furthermore bear witness that the paper is not published in vain, and that for 
the loss of their personal charm the journalists received a certain compensation.

The year 1924-25 marked the first attempt of the students as editors and managers of their own paper. 
Hitherto the college paper, the Star, had been published by a faculty editor with student assistants.

The new Star was more than satisfactory. The policy that it outlined in the beginning and maintained 
throughout the year is well stated in the editorial which appeared in its first issue.

"This student paper is an index of the life and activities and of who's who and what's what on the 
campus of an Institution of Higher Learning which for nearly three score years has contributed 
generously to the growth of a great nation.

It is a pinnal of eager and enthusiastic youth, making special reference to those things of interest 
and beauty which make for full manhood and for full womanhood."-M. T.

"A little moonlight now and then-Marries off the best of men."-Johnson.

Ode to a Blank Page

There's a page that is blank in the Pulse, 
It's a page no blanker than I. 
"Mein kopf feult als es war Holz," 
But still a blank page greets my eye.

New jokes, 
New jokes, 
New jokes, 
I feverishly cry.

I've tossed on my couch at night, 
With such worries on my brain, 
But still there "came me no light" 
And all my thoughts were in vain.

Brain throbs, 
Brain throbs, 
Brain throbs, 
Oh, how I wish I were bright.

I've frantically scanned Julius Caesar, 
But still no new jokes I've seen, 
Some day when there's time for leisure 
I'll search Browning and Greene.

Ideas, 
Ideas, 
Ideas, 
My, but I feel so green.

And still I find this page blank, 
For wisdom came not to my aid, 
My hopes to zero have sank. 
For these thoughts I'll never be paid.

I've failed, 
I've failed,
I've failed, 
And now I'll never be paid.
-L. C. H.

Young Woman's Christian Association

THE Y. W. C. A. of Central Wesleyan seeks to help girls live the abundant life. Its ideal is the 
fullest development of body, mind, and spirit. Its objective is, "To live unreservedly Jesus' 
law of life."

A spirit of Christian fellowship and helpfulness has prevailed throughout the year. The activities 
have been religious, educational, social, and recreational. The work of the year will serve a 
definite purpose in the lives of the girls. One of the outstanding features of the programs was a 
series of lectures on "The Home" by Mrs. Lindemeyer. All the programs made provisions for a few 
moments of close fellowship with the Christ. The weekly prayer meetings and the week of prayer also 
contributed toward spiritual development.

Socials, outings, the week-end retreat for cabinet girls, and Fun-night will be long cherished 
memories. Under the auspices of the Social Service Committee a bit of cheer and sunshine was brought 
to many that are less fortunate than we.

Six girls attended the Workers conference at Mexico, Mo., and one girl was sent to the Association 
Student's conference at Estes Park, Colorado.
The activities of the year fostered all-around development in accordance with the words of Him Who 
said, "I am come that ye may have life and have it more abundantly."-A. S.

Young Men's Christian Association

FOR twenty-four years the Y. M. C. A. has been a potent factor in the development of a "higher type 
of Christian manhood."  The Y. M. strives to provide for expression and development of the 
three-fold man.  This end was accomplished this year by various means.  Weekly devotional meetings 
were held for spiritual uplift and instruction in Christian living. Every Thursday night the Y. M. 
conducted a prayer meeting in the parlor of Eisenmayer Hall.  Besides these, the Y. M. organized 
two live discussion classes in the Sunday School to give the young men an opportunity for religious 
education.

'Tis true that "man is a religious being," but it is also just as true that "man is a social being," 
therefore to provide for the social as well as physical man the Y. M. gave hikes, outings, and 
socials, some "stag" and others "joint." The influence of this organization is not only felt upon 
the campus but extends to our neighbor institution the Orphan Home, where a big piece of extension 
work is being carried on. In a few words good will and brotherly helpfulness as fostered by Y. M. 
members "like the unchanging sun, clears and improves whate'er it shines upon."-O. F.

"Say Ed, get me a date."-Duewel.

Gospel Teams

MOST of our organizations function on the campus, but one reaches far beyond. Every year Christian 
young men under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. organize themselves into groups of four and prepare 
to render fitting and helpful programs in the churches of near by towns and community centers.

This work not only develops talent but carries with it the idea of practical service and helps the 
boys in their religious life. It gives them an idea of the joy in Christian activity. After the 
student has been busy with his books all week, it is also a bit of recreation to get away from his 
school life into a new community and exchange ideas with those who are not in college.

Last year the ladies of the Y. W. C. A. caught the vision of the wonderful work they might do by 
sending out teams. Therefore four teams were organized among the girls. Their efforts met with much 
success and they are at work again this year with even greater enthusiasm.

It is the aim of the Christian organizations to choose young men and women who have Christian 
characters and who are willing to use their talents for the glory of God. "Let your light so shine 
before men that they will see your good works and glorify your Father which is in Heaven."

Epworth League

THE Epworth League is, strictly speaking, not a College organization, but it is the one organization 
of the College Church in which the young people of the church and College feel they have a common 
interest. Since the Christian organizations and Literary Societies do much of the work that is usually 
done by the Epworth League, the League confines its activities almost wholly to the devotional 
feature, although several social gatherings are held each year.

The Epworth League meets every Sunday evening at 6:45 in the church parlors. The members are divided 
into groups of six or eight and these groups are held responsible for the program for their 
particular evening. Different types of programs are rendered. The open forum is sometimes used in 
discussing some vital and important problem. Musical programs have proved beneficial. At times the 
usual form consisting of a talk, musical numbers, and a reading is used.

The Epworth League has always been a strong influence in the religious life in our midst and many 
a young person in our meeting has gained practice and power that has enabled him to become a 
helpful factor in his church and community life.-E. B.

"I don't intend to go with the girls until I'm ready to get married."-Proett.

College Church Sunday School

IT has always been the purpose of Central Wesleyan to give to its students the best of academic and 
collegiate training in order that they may successfully fill positions in the business, educational, 
or professional world. It has, nevertheless, been the chief aim to foster and care for their moral 
and religious training by offering courses which will also fit them for Christian life service, 
either at home or abroad.

Ours is a thoroughly graded and departmental school, including all departments from cradle roll 
to adult and home departments with an enrollment of nearly four hundred pupils and fifty officers 
and teachers.

Our efficient superintendent, Dr. Weiffenbach, whose motto is, "Formation of Character NOT 
Reformation," is a man of wide Sunday School experience. He has been not only at the head of our 
own school for thirteen years but, since 1916 he has been a member of the Board of Sunday Schools 
of the Methodist Episcopal Church which meets annually at Chicago and plans the yearly program for 
all Sunday Schools in Methodism. Under his able leadership students have the opportunity of gaining 
a thorough knowledge of how to organize and grade a Sunday School as well as training for intelligent 
leadership and efficient teaching. That many students avail themselves of this opportunity is proved 
by the above picture and the fact that out of thirty-six teachers, twenty-one are students ; the 
Junior and Intermediate departments being manned almost exclusively by student teachers. - L. H.

Athletic Board

THE Athletic Board, composed of four faculty members, appointed by the president, and two 
students, elected by the student body, directs Athletics at Central Wesleyan. The Dean of the 
College, whose sympathetic attitude toward wholesome physical culture, clean and keen competitive 
contests is well known, presides at all meetings.

The Board arranges for inter-collegiate contests with a view of giving the students training in the 
spirit of team work, the sense of fairness and self-reliance so that Athletics become a highly 
prized good and not a detriment at Central Wesleyan. Systematic instruction in physical culture is 
provided by intramural contests sponsored for the physical development and recreational entertainment

Football Men

MARTIN DUEWEL (Capt.)
Right Tackle. Honorable mention man in the M. C. A. U. Duewel is a good leader and at his tackle 
position played a good brand of football. In the defense, he crashed through fast and i~ a hard 
hitting deadly tackier. On the offense he is running interference in every play; he always got a 
man. Duewel weighs 180 pounds, is G feet tall; and is 20 years old.

IVAN JOHNSON (Capt. Elect)
Fullback. Johnson weighs 180 pounds, stands 6 feet and is 22 years old. Eie was the most valuable 
man on this year's team and the honor to lead next year's team is justly due him. From his fullback 
position he called cignals. He is a clever field general, a good punter, an accurate passer, besides 
Johnson has a knack of evading charging linemen. He is the backbone of defense, and at plunging the 
line he is a battering ram.

WILLIAM PAINTER
Right Guard. Painter weighs 210 pounds, stands 6 feet 1 inch and is 22 years old. Painter along-side 
Moore in line made an impenetrable wall. In the defense he charged through fast,-smearing plays was 
his delight. He has had two years experience and should be a comer for a berth on the All-Conference 
eleven next year.

CHARLES DIEHR
Right End. Diehr weighs 175 pounds, stands 5 feet 9 inches, and is 22 years old. He was a willing 
fighter smashing interference and breaking up passes. Charles did some flashy work in the 
Culver-Stockton game, preventing any end run from gaining ground through his position. Diehr is 
the only man Wesleyan loses through graduation.

CHARLES JUERGENSMEYER
Guard and End, Juergensmeyer weighs 165 pounds, stands 5 feet 9 inches and is 22 years old. He is 
playing his first year of football. At guard he would go through fast and smear plays. At his 
position at end he showed up the best, tackling and consistently throwing men for losses.

PAUL HAKE
Guard. Though greatly handicapped by lack of experience, he soon developed into a valuable man. 
Because of his fight, the opposing backs found it difficult to gain through his position. Hake weighs 
185 pounds, stands 6 feet and is 23 years old.

WILBUR SYDEBOTHAM
Right Halfback. This is Sydebotham's first year of college football. He hails from Cameron, Missouri, 
where they put out real football players. "Syde" is a hard hitting halfback. On defense he tackled 
accurately. Syde-botham weighs 175 pounds, stands 5 feet 11 inches and is 20 years old.

GEORGE GERDEMAN
Guard. Playing his second year with Wesleyan, George showed up well despite the fact that he was 
handicapped at the beginning of the season by an operation. Gerdeman weighs 180 pounds, stands 6 
feet and is 20 years old, and a factor of no mean ability in defense.

ANDREW RUNGE
Left Guard and Halfback. Runge weighs 168 pounds, stands 5 feet 8 inches and is 22 years old. Andy 
is a speedy linesman. He covered himself with glory in the Westminster game. At halfback he hits 
low and hard.

CARL SCHLEGEL
Halfback. Schlegel weighs 150 pounds, stands 5 feet 9 inches and is 22 years old. This was his 
first year on the squad and he did not show his real ability until near the close of the season. 
He is a speedy back and excells in skirting the ends.

HERMAN PROETT
Left Tackle. Proett weighs 168 pounds, stands 5 feet 9 inches and is 22 years old. His experience 
together with stern determination made him an enemy that opponents well feared. He liked to throw 
them for losses and whenever called upon to open up the line he was there to do his part.

LAWRENCE WUETHRICH
Left End. Wuethrich weighs 140 pounds, stands 5 feet 6 inches and is 18 years old. His offensive 
work was good at all times. His smearing of interference and tackling were equally good. This was 
Wuethrich's first year on the squad and he should develop into a flashy player.

CLYDE MOORE
Center. Moore weighs 215 pounds, is 6 feet tall and is twenty-two years old. With his size he was 
a bulwark of strength, playing a wonderful offensive game. His passes were next to perfect. While 
on the defense he never failed to stop a charging back. Clyde has had two years of experience and 
his return next year means a center second to none in the conference.

SEACHARDT REINHARDT
Quarterback. Honorable mention man in the M. C. A. U. Reinhardt is the best open field runner in 
the M. C. A. U. "Fats" is fast, shifty, and hard to tackle. He is a good hand at shagging passes. 
His work at returning punts is commendable. He weighs 160 pounds, stands 5 feet 8 inches and is 
20 years old.

MERLE TATE
Right Halfback. Honorable mention man last year when he played center, but this year due to his 
speed he was shifted to the back field. Tate was a tower of defense charging in fast and 
overtaking the ball carrier before he got underway, his tackling was of the best type. Tate 
weighs 175 pounds, stands 6 feet and is 20 years old.

"Poise, is the way a Dutchman says boys."

Central Wesleyan has Successful Football Season in 1924

The season of 1924 marked the most successful football year that Wesleyan has ever had.

The squad realized at the first of the year that they had a hard schedule before them. Games had 
been scheduled with Westminster, Principia, Culver-Stockton, and Central. With this in mind, many 
men answered the call to practice, and with the old "Wesleyan Fight" it is but natural that 
Wesleyan had a successful season.

The record below shows that Wesleyan won six out of eight games. 
Oct. 10- C. W. C. 12- Scott Field 13, at Scott Field 
Oct. 17 - C. W. C. 26 - Central Col. 7, at Warrenton

WESLEYAN DEFEATS ST. LOUIS U. "FROSH."

The team journeyed to St. Louis and there defeated the Freshmen in a sluggish contest, 20-18. The 
score was 20-6 until the last few minutes of the last quarter when the Freshmen, taking advantage 
of the weakened defense caused by substitutions, romped across for two touchdowns.

The team did not play up to usual form, for the Freshmen gained through the line and around ends 
and completed passes at will.

WESLEYAN DEFEATS CENTRAL.

In the first conference game of the season, the CeWesCos showed exceptional offensive and defensive 
play and easily defeated the Central Eagles by a score of 20 to 7. Although scored upon during the 
first few minutes of play, owing to fumbles, the Wesleyan men quickly gathered their forces and at 
no other time were they seriously threatened. Two of the winning touchdowns came in the second 
period after Johnson flipped a pass to Reinhardt who ran 50 yards through a broken field. The second 
came a few minutes later when Johnson intercepted a Central pass and raced 55 yards for a touchdown.

CEWESCOS OVERWHELM M. M. A. AND WIN 26 to 0.

The smashing, driving attacks of the Wesleyan backs proved too much for the Cadets. Although they 
fought desperately, they were unable to penetrate the stone-wall defense of the Blue and White 
machine. Several oi the Varsity men were unable to play in this contest due to injuries.

"I'm coming out on top" said George as he combed his hair.

CEWESCOS LOSE TO AVIATORS IN OPENING CONTEST.

Scott Field was the first team for the Wesleyan squad to battle. In this hard fought contest the 
aviators came out ahead 13 to 12. Unlike most initial contests, the game was exceptionally well 
played, although at various stages of the game, Wesleyan's defense lacked team work. Following was 
the lineup:

C. W. C. 		SCOTT FIELD
Gerdeman 	L.G.	VanDolson
Wuethrich 	L.E.	McEvers
Proett 	        L.T.	Hall
Gerdeman 	L.G.	Van Dolson
Moore 	          C.	Rackle
Painter	        R.G.	Kingsley

C. W. C.		SCOTT FIELD
Duewel (Capt) 	R.T. 	Crash
Diehr		R.E.	Stolte
Reinhardt	Q.B.	Booth (Capt)
Sydebotham	L.H.	Hall, L.
Tate		R.H.	Mathews
Johnson		F.B.    Clark

Substitutions-Scott Field: Anderson for McEvers; Pressley for Stolte. Touchdowns: Booth, Mathews, 
Johnson, Reinhardt. Goals after touchdown: Booth.

CEWESCOS WIN EASILY FROM BLACKBURN COLLEGE, 23 to 9

Blackburn College of Carlinville, Ill., played Wesleyan here November 8, and was overwhelmingly 
defeated.

The Wesleyan team scored at will and most of the game was played by substitutes and second string 
men.

Blackburn used a few fake plays which resulted in their only touchdown, and they drop-kicked for 
an extra three points.

CENTRAL WESLEYAN LOSES TO WESTMINSTER.

The strong Westminster football team defeated Wesleyan by a score of 33 to 9. This game was 
Westminster's eighth consecutive victory with nary a defeat, and came as a reward of a smashing 
game and wonderful interference.

The entire Wesleyan team played well, the line, although outweighed, exhibited that type of football 
which caused Westminster to resort to other methods than just hitting the line. The Wesleyan team 
is one of two teams that crossed the Blue Jays' line and scored more points against them than any 
other team.

PRINCIPIA FALLS UNDER WESLEYAN'S ATTACK

Before the largest crowd that ever witnessed a football game in Warrenton, the Wesleyan gridiron 
machine defeated Principia 19 to 14.

Pandimonium broke loose in the stands when Johnson, the hard hitting fullback, took the ball on 
the second play after Wesleyan had received it on downs, and raced fifty yards for the first 
touchdown. The defense displayed by both teams was very ragged.

Girls' Basket Ball

THE Girls Basket Ball Team this year was a credit to the school, and to the girls themselves. 
The Blue and White as worn by the girls was not once trailed in the dust of defeat. Teamwork, 
spirited fighting and individual effort characterized all the contests.

CAPTAIN LUCKE. This was Lucke's third and last year on the squad. She was a worthy captain, and 
at jumping center rarely missed getting the tip-off.

HAVIGHURST. Havighurst played running center and this, one could readily see, was her position. She 
was fast, and played with a determination to win.

HACKMAN AND WEIFFENBACH. Playing guard positions, these two worked like a machine. Both fought hard 
and it was next to miraculous for a forward to get an open shot. They were the backbone of the team.

BUSCHMANN. She was a high school star and soon secured a berth on the college squad. "Dot" had lots 
of fight and her good shooting made her one of the most valuable members of the team.

LIESE. She was a very important factor in the victories won over Hardin College. She was a good shot 
and had a way of evading guards. She seldom missed a free throw.

MILTENBERGER. Substitute guard. She played only a small part of two games, but in each showed signs 
of superb basket ball work. This is her first year.

LEEK AND HOHN. Substitutes; both played running center, having lots of speed they were worthy 
players. They both have three more years and should develop into flashy players.

The Basket Ball Squad

CAPTAIN CHARLES DIEHR, Guard. Diehr played his second season for Wesleyan, and is a worthy captain. 
He is a steady worker, and his aggre-siveness, coupled with his knowledge of the game, made his 
playing brilliant at all times. This is his last year and the squad loses a valuable man.

IVAN JOHNSON, Center. Johnson uses the same charge in basket ball that he uses in foot ball. His 
place as a regular was practically assured after the first game when he played brilliantly. He is 
a sure shot on set ups and ranks high as a free throw man.

FRED SCHULZE, Forward. Although one of the smallest college basket ball players in the conference, 
his work was always sensational. His speed makes him a flashy floor man, and he has a good eye 
for the basket.

SEACHARDT REINHARDT, Forward. Reinhardt's regular position is at forward, but he filled in at guard 
in good shape. He is well known for his speed and shots from center. This is his first year on 
the squad and he should develop into a flashy player.

ELDON BRANDT, Forward. Brandt played his fourth year for Wesleyan, and has a past that anyone could 
be proud of. He has an uncanny way of hitting from all angles of the floor, and this, combined 
with his experience, marked him as a basket ball player.

MERLE TATE, Guard. Tate played sensational ball. He is a flashy dribbler, and at this he is hard 
to equal; a good floor man and a fine shot. He plays floor guard and should win for himself a 
berth on the all-conference team next year.

MARTIN DUEWEL, Forward. Duewel played his third season for the Blue and White. Although an injury 
kept him out of a number of games in mid season, yet he more than made up for his absence by his 
brilliant playing in the last games. He is a good floor man and fights all the time. The highest 
tribute that can be paid to Duewel is this: He is an athlete.

MELVIN NIEBURG, Center. Nieburg got his share of tip-offs, and then dropping back played fine at 
guard position. He seldom fouled, and it was a rare thing when an opponent scored on him.

"Like Damon and Pythias.-Esther and Amelia."

Boys' Basket Ball

VIEWED in the light of the games won, the Varsity basket ball season was hardly successful, but 
taking into consideration the stiff schedule which faced the team and the ineligibility and injuries 
which dogged it, the outcome was more than meritorious.  This was in no small part due to the loyal 
support given by the student body.

Facing Missouri University in its initial contest, the team showed signs of strength, but the first 
conference tour which resulted in three games lost and no victories, early put it at a disadvantage. 
During the remainder of the season, with the exception of the game with St. Louis University at 
St. Louis, the games were hotly contested and resulted in close scores.

The last two games both went into extra periods, and resulted in a victory over Central Wesleyan's 
time old rival, and a defeat by St. Louis University rather more than balanced the hardships 
suffered in the earlier part of the season.

Wesleyan was in no wise disgraced by the quintette which wore her colors.

George C. Dyer

Chariman of the Mass Meetings

This year marked the height of PEP at Central Wesleyan College. Co-operation of the students both 
in their help in putting on programs and their excellent backing of the team was more noticeable 
than in any other year. The credit is largely due to George C. Dyer chairman of the Mass Meetings. 
He possesses all the qualities that a chairman possibly could have. His influence on others, his 
wonderful ability as a leader among his fellow students, his undivided interest in the teams and 
their welfare, and his wonderful Mass Meetings have established the greatest PEP record in Central 
Wesleyan and have won him the highest honor of being one of the greatest, if not the greatest 
chairman in the history of the school.

Pep Club

THE Pep Club is an entirely new organization in the history of Central Wesleyan College.  In past 
years a great need has been felt in our school for an organized club of this kind to maintain and 
instilll more "pep" in the student body.  As a result of this need and through the efforts of our 
able chairman of the mass meetings, George Dyer, the Pep Club was organized.  A constitution was 
written and adopted which we hope will be used by the succeeding Pep Clubs of Central Wesleyan.

The chief purpose of this club, as previously stated, is to instill and maintain "pep" in the 
student body. The club also has charge of all programs at the mass meetings, enforces the 
resolutions passed by the student body, and in general is the dynamo of "pep" at C. W. C. The club 
is composed of two members representing the college, two members representing the Academy, end one 
member representing each of the societies and the band. The officers are: George Dyer, President; 
Nelson Martin, Vice-President; and Maude Wohlbeck, Secretary-Treasurer.

Although this was the initial appearance of such a club, we feel it has been a success because it 
has created a college spirit that will exist for years.

Oh! were they all contented like me."-Hofstetter.

William Boehmer-Otto Fabre

Cheer Leaders

OUR Cheer Leaders, Fabre and Boehmer, have shown their ability by leading the student body in 
college yells and songs. Without their leadership there would be lack of uniformity and 
co-operation within the cheering section.

For the past few years there has been a desire to change the college song. Fabre, therefore, used 
his ability in composing our Alma Mater song, which was set to music by Prof. Kleinschmidt.

Central Wesleyan closed a most successful Pep season this year, and much credit is due the Cheer 
Leaders for their untiring efforts always to keep the student body in the cheering spirit, 
win or lose.

Beware- An Anonymous Letter!!

Warrenton, Missouri, 
May 1, 1925.

Dear Coach:

Just a few lines to let u know that I was glad to receive your kind letter. I thot you'd like to 
know that we played ball last Saturday and that this is a very accurate description of it.

The game opened with Stand-by at the stick, Small pox catching and Matches in the box with lots of 
smoke. Horn at first, Fiddle at second backed by corn in the field. He made it hot for Umpire Apple 
who was rotten. Ax came to bat and chopped Matches while Brick walked and Sawdust filled the bases. 
Hammer made a hit and Twenty made a score. Match went out and Balloon started to pitch but went up 
in the air. Then Cherry tried but was wild, Old Ice kept cool till he was hit by the Pitcher and 
then you should have heard Ice scream.

Cabbage was ahead but got stewed and was put out of the game. He was not the only one for Umpire 
Apple got canned. Grass covered lots of ground and the crowd cheered when Spider caught a fly. 
Bread loafed on third and tried to pump Organ but Organ played fast and put out Light. In the 
fifth inning Wind began to blow about what he could do, and the way Steam roasted Peanuts was a 
fright. Knife was put out for cutting first base. In the third inning Corn was shocked because 
Hammer made a hit. Trombone followed with a slide for home but Meat was on the plate and put him 
out. Lightning pitched and struck two men. Door took his place, shut out the opposing team. One 
to nothing. There was lots of betting on the game and Soap cleaned up the gang.

That was all that happened. I'll say that it was enough.

As ever,

"RED" BEET.

The Junior Ex

THE JUNIOR CLASS this year presented Katrina Trask's drama, "In the Vanguard," as its annual 
exhibition. The cast under the direction of Miss Astrid Glidden brought credit to itself and to 
its dramatic coach.

Effie Bebermeyer, playing the double role of Grace, village girl, and Mrs. Gordon, showed herself 
to be an actress of no mean ability. As a loving wife to the hard hearted Mr. Gordon, Ivan Johnson, 
she was the personification of mildness. Anna Salzwedel and Irena Saatman, playing the respective 
parts of Jean, the Rector's daughter and Alice, a village girl were well suited for the parts.

The love theme of the play hinges on the romance of Philip Gordon and Elsa. The parts of Philip 
and Elsa were played by Carl Fischer and Ruby Boettler, who played the leading roles. Raymond 
Sturgis, as the rector, won great praise from the audience. The double role of Mr. Gerart, the 
philosopher, and the First Soldier was played excellently by Andrew Runge. As a philosopher, his 
deep reasoning won the plaudits of the audience. Arnold Dreyer also played a double part as Jack, a 
village youth, and "The Enemy." In the scene, "The Dying Soldier," Dreyer by his dramatic skill 
brought tears to the eyes of nearly every person in the audience. Truman Brandt as a dignified 
general, characterized the coldness of a military leader. The parts of "Dutch," the third soldier, 
"Dupe," the second soldier, and the fourth soldier, were well played by the respective Juniors, 
Carl Schlegel, Joseph Die-terich, and Otto Fabre.

The cast was well selected and by its earnest endeavors reflected honor to itself and to the Junior 
Class.-G. D.

SYNOPSIS

Philip Gordon, though at heart a courageous thinker, blindly sought the romance of combat at the 
battle front illusioned by jingoism, and by love for Elsa who thought war glorious.

Eight months later he finds himself. It is an evening after a great battle and Philip is alone on 
the edge of the battlefield. Sickness at the horrors of killing has given way to the intoxicating 
delight of victory and the virile aftermath of the lust of battle; and he is hurrying to camp to 
join his rollicking mates in discourse on the glories of war. He hears a grban and finds a mangled 
and torn enemy dying at his feet. The Enemy tells Philip how a dying man sees war * * * * "I tell 
you death takes the mist from our eyes
* * * *  We trick our minds, and do not think, and if, by chance, we do accomplish the difficult 
task of thinking, we don't think straight * * * .  Dying has made me sane-at last.  Listen to 
me-Here we are-two Nations with different traditions, different religions, different standards of 
morals-why, it is only the educated amongst us who can even speak each other's language-how can 
we understand each other's point of view?
* * *.  If you and I each thought we were morally right, then it was a matter for arbitration, 
not for murder * * *."  Murmuring "Universal Brotherhood" the Enemy died. After a time out of the 
darkness comes Philip's voice: "He is my Brother-and I have killed him."

Philip refuses a captain's commission and is sent home, branded a coward, a traitor. For a while 
his is a way of despair but finally logic and justice triumphs, Elsa sees him at last as the only 
true hero, a hero of the Durable, and the play closes with the lines of Mr. Gearart, a far-seeing 
philosopher, who says:

"War is evil because it breaks the Supreme Law of the Universe-the Law of Harmony. To break the 
Law of Harmony is the unpardonable sin. * * * * Love is the fulfilling of the Law."

The Alumni

IN THE halls of Wesleyan there are numerous unseen figures. Those phantom forms are guiding every 
activity. When a student aspires to reach a certain goal, he feels the warmth of a helping hand 
upon his shoulder.  It has been done by the men of the past, it will be done again.

When gentle zephyrs whistle through the campus trees and the soft moonbeams fall upon the faces 
of friends together, the unseen host calls forth the pleasant memories of friendship, yea even more 
than friendship, formed in happy hours gone by.

The Unseen Host

But who is the unseen host, you ask? 
Is he a martyr dead? 
Alas, he is one who success has gained, 
When in Wesleyan halls he tread.

Perhaps he lives in a mansion large,
Or a small cot by the sea,
But whate'er his work, his task, his charge,
His memory shall cherished be.

He may be now in his home above, 
With his trials forever o'er, 
But his memory still shall be one of love. 
Now and forevermore.

He may the contest have won or lost, 
When in life's race he ran, 
But his work in gold shall be embossed, 
He's an alumnus of Wesleyan.     - G. C. D.

Alumni 1922

THERE were just twenty-two of us in the class of '22-twelve boys and ten girls. I believe the 
undergraduates regarded us as the most staid and dignified class that ever went out from Wesleyan 
Halls. Five of the twelve boys had each secured a B. H. (Better Half) before securing his A. B., 
so the rest of us were amply chaperoned. I do not know if we fooled the faculty as well as the 
student body, but we surely did not fool ourselves. Don't you remember how we romped at Erwin 
Unverzagt's and devoured the chickens he fattened by begging to be excused from class meetings in 
time to feed them? We just had to shake off some of the responsibility that night, for loads of 
theses were weighing upon us.

That first year seven of us went forth to teach, three to preach, and two to continue their studies. 
Albert Tsai, joined by wife who came from China, is at Syracuse, N. Y., where both are preparing 
for more efficient missionary service. Lawrence Havighurst is still at Evanston, where he graduated 
from Garrett and is now studying for his A. M at Northwestern. At the same time he is student pastor 
of a church in south Chicago. Henry Ross, his wife, and little daughter, are enjoying the pastorate 
at Cape Girardeau, where Rev. Roos is a beloved and successful preacher. Albert Kattner and his 
B. H. are at home in a parsonage near Houston, Texas.

Of the seventeen teachers who went forth that first year, thirteen still remain. Death has claimed 
one of our members-Eugene Hendershott. Ill health forced Eugene to resign a fine position that first 
year but he gave up only after a courageous struggle. Luella Gisler is now a very successful 
minister's wife, Mrs. Paul Fricke. Little Dorothy May is the center of attraction in their home at 
Compton, 111. After two years at Moberly High School, Dorothy Havighurst presides over a cozy 
apartment in St. Louis, and enjoys being called Mrs. Milton Koch. Emmons Brandt, tired of pulling 
ears, is now learning the art of pulling teeth. Call on him in St. Louis.

Among the thirteen who are still teaching, five have never changed positions, and their record speaks 
for itself. "Jake" Lotz is still at Clarksburg, Ohio, and Clara Niemeyer at Woodsfield, also in Ohio. 
We always knew Melna would be popular, and this is her third year at Marissa, Ill. Alice Gerdeman 
just fell in love with Idaho that first year, so she's still at Pocatello. John Rohner and his wife 
are living in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where Mr. Rohner teaches in a school for boys, the Harwood 
Mission School. Two children make glad this home in the Sunny South. Edna Bothe has been taking 
summer work at Missouri University and is now at New Canton, 111. Clara Johannaber is upholding the 
family reputation as a successful teacher in Iowa. Anna Frohardt, now in the High School at Gilman, 
111., took summer work at Northwestern University. Werner Schrantz has a fine position as teacher 
at Hot Springs, Arkansas. The remaining teachers are in Missouri. Alfred Buschmann married his 
childhood sweetheart, Ruth Holden, and is the coach at Sedalia High School. Lydia Painter, after a 
year's teaching at Missouri Wesleyan, became homesick for C. W. C. and is now at work in the 
Academy. Aurelia Pergande is in Odessa, Mo., and Walter Strehlman not far from Warrenton, at 
Washington, Mo.

So we are scattered-eight in Missouri, five in Illinois, two in Ohio, one each in New York, Texas, 
New Mexico, Idaho, Arkansas and Iowa-each doing his best to honor his Alma Mater, Central Wesleyan.

HOME OF ONE HUNDRED CHILDREN

Central Wesleyan Orphan Home

CENTRAL Wesleyan Orphan Home, founded in 1864, the oldest children's home in Methodism, is now 
in its 61st year. It has taken care of 700 boys and girls, who have received training for mind, 
heart and hand. At present there are 95 children in the home, of these six attend Central 
Wesleyan Academy and College, four graduated from high school, and eight were examined in 
Catechism. It has done a magnificent piece of work for the kingdom.

In connection with the home there is a farm comprising 160 acres of timber and 140 acres are 
under cultivation, which furnish feed for 30 head of cattle. It takes one bushel of potatoes daily, 
and 400 pounds of flour a week to feed a hundred mouths.

The running expenses amount to over $20,000 a year and are paid chiefly by donations received from 
the churches of the patronizing conferences and friends. There is also an endowment of nearly 
$100,000 and $15,000 in annuities.

The Institution needs better equipped buildings. The aim of the home is to adopt the cottage 
system, to cultivate the home spirit; for that reason the trustees ask the church for $50,000 as 
a beginning. Two former orphan boys have pledged $1,000 each, and two $200 each.

Upon the invitation of Bishop Waldorf to have the Orphan Home represented at the Kansas City Area, 
a group of children sang before the men's meeting in the Convention Hall and also in the Grand 
Avenue M. E. Church where the convention of the Women's Foreign Missionary Society was in 
session.-J. Gisler, Supt.

"I call my girl asthma 'cause she takes my breath away."-Schlanker.

The Junior-Senior Banquet

On Friday evening, March 6th, the Seniors gave the Juniors a banquet in the parlors of the College 
Church.  At five thirty the Juniors appeared and were formally received by the Class of "25. After 
a few minutes conversation, the curtains to the banquet stage were raised and in the distance could 
be seen the setting for a "Rose" banquet. The entire parlor was decorated in pink and white.  The 
tables were arranged to form a regular pentagon, with the toastmaster in a conspicuous position.  
On each table there were roses and in the center of each table a large American Beauty electrically 
lighted by a rose-colored bulb concealed in the petals.  Just before going into the banquet room, 
the members of the classes received cards handed out by Little Miss Linnert, who was dressed in a 
rose costume.  These cards fixed the partners for the first course.

Wendell Evans, the president of the Senior Class, in a few well-chosen words, extended to the 
Juniors a hearty welcome. Merle Tate, president of the Junior Class, gave a delightful response which 
made every Senior feel that the banquet was not in vain. Frederick Schulze served as toastmaster, 
and "Fritz" was at his best. It was, indeed, a pleasure for the upper-classmen to have the Freshmen 
and the Sophomores as waiters and waitresses. The first course consisted of beef bouillon, after 
which George Schrantz gave an eloquent discourse on "Wild Roses." Carl Fischer adding another rose 
to the already beautiful bouquet by singing "My Wild Irish Rose." After the main dinner course had 
been served the boys and girls drew names from the large flowers in the center of the tables and as 
a result annexed new partners for the time being. Soon afterward Andrew Runge rose to the heights 
of eloquence and made Demosthenes murmur, "Oh, I would that I could speak as that man." Andrew's 
topic was, "Heroes, He Rose." Miss Nieburg beautifully rendered a saxaphone solo, "Love Sends A 
Little Gift of Roses." George Dyer, speaking on the difficult topic, "She Rose," viewed the Senior 
Class from the future and predicted the careers of its members. The next course consisting of fruit 
salad and cheese straws, was a life-saver, for it soothed the anguished breasts of those who had been 
forced to listen to the torrential floods of verbal discourse. Miss Hollman spoke after a short 
intermission on "Morose," and gave it a different meaning than melancholy, in fact it was interpreted 
to mean "More Rose." Jesse Myers then rendered the wistful violin solo, "When Roses Bloom," and 
displayed a technique which would put Kreisler and Mischa Elman to shame. At this time the partners 
were again shifted and the campus couples were allowed to be together. Course four consisted of brick 
ice cream, angel food cake for the boys and devil's food cake for the girls. The program was resumed 
and the Junior-Senior Ladies' Quartette sang "An Old Fashioned Rose,"-of course, it was understood 
that this was in an "old fashioned garden." Miss Boettler spoke on the subject, "Rose Buds," and drew 
a vivid comparison between the unfolding of a rose and the unfolding of the life of a Senior. The 
musical feast was brought to a close with a selection, "Roses of Picardy," an instrumental trio by 
Miss Lucke, Miss Nieburg and Mr. Myers. The last number of the program following course five was a 
reading, "That Little Wild White Rose," by Miss Edmee Diekroeger.-G. D.

Class in Business Law

IT has always been the policy of Central Wesleyan to add something to its numerous departments 
that would prove to be worth while and beneficial to the students as they venture out into the 
business world to assume the ever increasing responsibilities imposed by the commercial firms of 
today.
With this end in view a course in Business Law was offered and proved to be
satisfactory in every way.

This class was under the instruction of Maury N. Schowengerdt, a graduate in law from the University 
of Missouri. By using the modern case system of teaching and taking up the decisions of the courts 
in this and other countries, it was made a very interesting subject for the students. It gave them 
some idea of the various difficulties and legal problems that may confront them in actual business. 
Young men in the commercial world who wish to merit promotion will find this kind of training essential.

The class was held in the evenings in order to afford an opportunity for the young business men of 
the town, as well as the students, to attend.

Advice for C.W.C. Match Factory

Love is a flame,
Passion a blaze,
Affection the quiet, steady
Burning fire, and
Flirtation is the match that sets the whole lot aglow. 
Nobody knows whether
It is going to flame up
And start something
Or just flicker out and end in nothing but smoke. 
Men sometimes grow fond
Of the girl that is nearest
And when this happens
It is up to the girl whether she wants a steady flame, 
A permanent fireside,
Or a burning moment;
Of course it is possible 
To get all three from the same man. 
For time changes some flames 
Into a steady glow
And visa versa.
But it is well to remember men, like fires, 
Have to be fed.
They also have to be 
Watched or they have a habit of going out.
-Exchange.

can't spell "Schulze" correctly.
Lydia M. Painter:  "I can't understand. Curiosity killed a cat."
A. W. Ebeling: "What for? Will it cost anything? A person must be careful what he signs."

Oliver H. Kleinschmidt: "Man, oh man; you don't want my whole name. I never use my middle name. You 
want the Oliver there."
Harry V. Knorr: "Ya, I guess so."
Eugene Weiffenbach: "What's the object? Well, I'll trust you, I hope you don't get me in bad."
Ira Nelson Chiles: "Do you want it for the Pulse? Of course, I'll do anything for the Pulse."

ATTENTION!
The success of the 1925 "Pulse" is a result of hard work on the part of the members of the staff. 
The editorial work has been skillfully handled by Miss Cornelia Helmers and her co-workers, Champ 
Ellis, Celia Liese, Lawrence Wuethrich and Doran Hendershott, who have toiled zealously to produce 
an annual of which any Wesleyan Alumnus might well be proud. The Business Department has been 
carefully handled by Frederick Schulze and his helpers, Arnold Dreyer, Paul Hake, Amanda Schake, 
Horace Fry and Andrew Runge. The art work was engineered by August Lind and his assistant, 
Isabella Morse.

DELIRIOUS VERSE
It was a nice day in October, last September in July; the moon lay thick upon the ground, the mud 
shone in the sky. The flowers were singing sweetly, the birds were full of bloom, so 1 went into 
the cellar to sweep an upstairs room. The time was Tuesday morning, on Wednesday, just at night, 
when I saw a thousand miles away a house just out of sight. The walls projected backward, the front 
was round the back, it stood alone with others, the fence was whitewashed black. It was moonlight 
on the ocean, not a street car was in sight, the sun was shining brightly and it rained all day that 
night. It was summer in the winter, and the snow was falling fast - a barefoot boy with shoes on was 
sitting in the grass. It was evening and the rising sun stood setting in the night. And everything 
that I could see was hidden from my sight.-Holstein-Friesian World.

He owned a handsome touring car;
To ride in it was heaven. 
He ran across some broken glass-
Bill $14.97.
He took some friends out for a ride-
'Twas good to be alive. 
The carbureter threw a fit-
Bill $20.85.
He started on a little tour,
The finest sort of fun. 
He stopped too quick and stripped his gears-
Bill $90.51.
He took his wife downtown to shop, 
To save carfare was great;
He jammed into one lamp-post 
Bill $268.
He spent about all that he had, 
And then in anguish cried;
"I'll put a mortgage on the house 
And take just one more ride."

PLAY IT ON A CONN
HUNDREDS OF PROFESSIONALS AND AMATEURS DO.
Everywhere that music and gayety reigns you will find CONN musical instruments. Their wonderful 
tone-brilliant or soft-caressing and smooth, as the scale demands, imparts added charm to the 
accomplishments of any musical organization. Their beauty, balance and instant and perfect response 
to the will of the player makes them outstanding.
T[h]at's why SOUSA'S BAND, ISHAM JONES' ORCHESTRA, and thousands of other musical organizations, 
including big symphony orchestras, use CONN instruments exclusively.
That's why 100 per cent of the saxophone owners of C. W. C. and of Warrenton use and endorse CONN 
instruments.
That's why CONN Trombones and Saxophones are used exclusively in our Band and Orchestra.

He asked her on the back porch,
On a moonlight starry night,
Alas, he was excited,
And did not get it right: 
"You cannot live without I
And each other must have we, 
So are you tell I will me
If us can marry won't she?" 
The poor girl was dumbfounded,
And knew not what to say, 
But opened up her mouth
And poured forth words this way: 
"Oh, dear boy, we love us
And me to love I we, 
But you we I are never
Is able can us marry. 
Me are a husband has got,
His is I much do loves; 
Alas, I is not are you have I
