Foreword

In compiling the Pulse we have tried to pay homage to the pioneer. 
In future years may this volume recall memories of the days in which 
we, too, were blazing trails.

"To those pioneer souls who blazed their trails 
Where highways never ran."

Senior Song
It matters not where we may roam 
Or what may be our quest; 
Our school, our Central Wesleyan, 
We're sure to love the best.

CHORUS
Then three good rousing cheers we raise.
In chorus loud and clear;
And shout hurrah, hurrah, hurrah 
For the school we love so dear.

We love it for its campus fair 
Its halls of learning old; 
Its football field, its tennis courts, 
And mem'ries dear they hold.

We love it for its faculty; 
For men and women who 
By word and deed inspire us to 
A noble life and true.

We love it for our fathers' sake, 
And to their mem'ry true,
We'll ever honor and uphold 
The dear old White and Blue.

Academy Basket Ball Squad
THE Academy Basketball Squad played many of the surrounding high 
school teams this year but due to the extreme scarcity of available 
material, Coach Duewel was handicapped in turning out a winning team. 
During the early part of the season, the squad was unable to play 
consistent basketball but with determination on the part of the 
players and ability of the coach, the team came out of their losing 
streak nicely and culminated their season with the defeat of St. 
Charles High School on our own floor. The regular squad 
consisted of Hollmann, captain and center, around whom the defense 
centered; Tomek, forward and mainstay of the offense; Bockhorst, 
forward; Shelton, guard; Bueker, guard; and Temple, substitute.

Oratory and Debate


(103)

Oratory is an individual accomplishment, and no vicissitudes of fortune can wrest it from the 
owner. It points the martyr's path to the future; it guides the reader's hand in the present, and 
it turns the face of ambition toward the delectable hills of achievment. One great speech made to 
an intelligent audience in favor of the rights of man will compensate for a life of labor, will 
crown a career with glory, and give a joy that is born of the divinities. There is no true orator 
who is not also a hero.

Missouri State Oratorical Contest

THE Missouri State Oratorical Association, comprising a group of 
colleges belonging to the Missouri College Union, hold an annual 
oratorical contest, the winner of which represents the state in the 
interstate oratorical contest. Central Wesleyan was awarded the honor 
of host to the contestants this year. Seven colleges - Central, Central
Wesleyan, Drury, Missouri Wesleyan, Park, Tarkio, and 
Westminster-were represented in this contest-one of the largest 
representations in the history of the Association. Mr. Glenn Ginn, a 
Chinese student representing Park College, was awarded first place on 
his oration, "The Yellow Peril." Mr. Kendrick W. Brown of Westminster
College, whose subject was "Soldiers of Peace," was awarded second 
place and Mr. Paul Kochan of Missouri Wesleyan College third with "The 
Rebirth of Religion" as his subject. Mr. Ginn will represent
Missouri in the Interstate contest at Parkville, Mo.

Central Wesleyan Contest Winners

CASSIUS E. STREET
Central Wesleyan College has reason to be proud of Cassius E. Street. 
He not only won first honors in the local contest but for the first 
time in Central Wesleyan's history, brought to her the honor of first 
place in the state forensic meet held at Springfield. Because of 
certain technical restrictions Mr. Street was barred from the 
divisional contest held in Wisconsin but we are fortunate in having 
achieved state-wide distinction in forensic activities through his 
efforts.

GLENICE FITCH
Glenice Fitch, the winner of the local contest for 1927 is the first 
lady in several years to have had the privilege of representing Central
Wesleyan in the state event. Her oration, "America's Torchbearers," is 
one which commands popular interest. Her delivery is excellent. The 
fact that she won this honor in her Freshman year adds to the 
distinction and we are very optimistic of her future career in 
college forensics.

Debate Squad

THIS season's widespread interest in debate was keenly shown when 
twenty-one contestants entered the try-out held early in the second 
semester. The above photo shows those who were successful, and the 
teams which actually debated were chosen from this group. In the 
first debate with Shurtleff College, Wood, Leek and Bockhorst won 
the unanimous decision of the judges. In the other men's debates the 
college was represented by Bierbaum and Wood, who won a favorable 
decision in three of their five contests. Mr. Bierbaum and Miss 
Fitch, the mixed team, won over Culver-Stockton, and Misses Fitch, 
Weiffenbach, and Hohn, the girls' team, lost the decision on their 
trip to William Woods. Mr. Bose's splendid coaching plus the tireless 
concentration of the debaters on the question of Farm Relief accounts 
for such marked success in forensics.

On April 25 a most interesting debate took place in chapel, when Mr. 
Wood met a representative of Missouri University on the question of 
the adequacy of democracy for the United States. The open forum 
afterwards was extremely well-conducted.

Chairman and Cheer Leaders

The stimulation of pep for athletics during the year, falls, largely 
upon the person who is made Chairman of Mass Meetings. It was a happy 
choice that elected Evrard Leek to the office this year. As president 
of the Pep Club, he has been untiring in planning mass meetings which 
compel student enthusiasm. Mr. Leek deserves much of the credit for 
the splendid co-operation among the students this year.

It takes Ordelheide and Monsees in their attractive Pep Club outfits 
to get us started on a "yea bo, let's go, Cewesco." With their 
enthusiastic leadership we have cheered on our teams and kept up a 
good spirit.

Athletic Directors

COACH KIMBRELL
Coach Kimbrell is completing his first year with us and we consider it 
a successful year. His ability as a coach is without question and with 
his determination to coach a winning team and his ability to develop a 
team out of a group of capable players, we expect a winning team in 
football as well as a championship basketball team next year. Coach 
Kimbrell is a graduate of Westminster College and formerly was the 
coach of the Jackson (Mo.) High School. His interests cover not only 
football and basketball, but also tennis, track, and physical 
education.

COACH GANZEL
Miss Ruby Ganzel, a graduate of Nebraska University, has done more to 
strengthen the department of physical education for women at Central 
Wesleyan than any one person. This department has always been the 
weakest in the school but due to her athletic ability and her thorough 
training, she is building up this department, not alone through her 
gym classes, but also through a series of educational courses which 
receive state credit as physical education. She has also successfully 
coached the girls' basketball team this year and was instrumental in 
the organization of the Women's Athletic Association.

Football

CENTRAL Wesleyan did not possess a winning team in football during the 
past season. There is no reason why we should seek an excuse for 
this fact, for the cause cannot be wholly explained. It is well 
known that no team in the conference possessed more willing and harder 
workers than this team. It is also well known that Coach Kimbrell 
worked hard at coaching this team. Further, no one tried harder to 
develop a winning team than did Captain Wuettrich.

Just a few possible suggestions might partially clear up the 
difficulty for the followers of the team. In the first place, nine of 
the fifteen letter men were new men, having only high school experience.
This meant practically an entire new team stepping out of high school 
and playing college football. Then, secondly, the team lacked weight. 
The line was light and the backfield still lighter. This proved a 
great handicap in the driving power of the team and the checking of 
the advance of the opposing team.


(125)

Neither of these facts detracted any playing ability from individual 
members of the team, and with the gaps caused by graduation filled 
next year, the team should prove to be a consistent winner and give 
any team in the conference a battle for the championship.

Laverne Dewees, center and a second member of the quartette from 
Herrin, Illinois, played his first year on the Wesleyan football team. 
Laverne proved to be an accurate passer from center and also in the 
defense stopped many plunges and center rushes. With Dewees back next 
year there is little need for many extra centers.

Carl Calcaterra, left guard and the third player from Herrin, filled a 
great place in the line of defense. It has been said that the people 
living on "Fat's" street in Herrin get rougher the further out you go 
and "Fats" lives in the last house on that street. He lived up to his 
reputation, but he played clean football and will be of aid for three 
more years.

Martin Duewel, who hails from the metropolis of Truesdale, showed great 
strength in playing the position of left tackle. Duewel was a member of 
the squad for four years and showed the same fighting spirit that he 
had always shown despite the many injuries he received. We are sorry 
to lose Martin.

Gus. Schulze, another student preacher, ably represented that great 
state of Texas on our football team. Gus, although not having a great 
deal of experience, proved to be a capable left guard during the 
season. Many players were stopped in their tracks when attempting to 
go through the left side of our line. Gus should continue to prove 
valuable on the team next year.

Charles Deschner, fullback and another representative of the "Lone 
Star" State, proved to be a capable line plunger, making good gains in 
the various games. Deschner also proved an aid in the defense. Being a 
freshman and possessing size and weight, Deschner should prove to be a 
great player during his next three years of football.

Lawrence Wuettrich, captain and left end, played his third year on the 
team. This scrappy little "Cornhusker" was a great receiver of forward 
passes as he was good at "Holden" the ball and was an important cog in 
the defense, being a deadly tackler. Wuettrich played every minute of 
the season with the exception of a few minutes in the Principia game. 
We are sorry to lose "Shorty" through graduation this year.

Ned Grain, captain-elect and right end, played his second year on the 
varsity team. This plucky little man hails from the rough side of 
Herrin. Although rather quiet in many ways, he is always there, 
fighting on the field. Ned should prove very valuable for the next two 
years and the team should prosper under his leadership next season.

William Barton, half-back, played his first year on the varsity squad. 
"Bill" is the smallest man on the team but he ably represents 
Jonesburg in his work. He proved to be very fast on the offense, 
making long gains. Being handicapped both in height and weight, Bill 
worked all the harder to assure his place on the team. He should prove 
valuable for next year.

Albert Kleeman, right guard, and a citizen of Nashville, Illinois, won 
his first letter this year in football. Whenever Albert was called 
upon to go into the game he always filled the gap and fought hard. He 
was a great cog in the defense and with another year to play should be 
a great help in our line.

Carl Helmers, quarterback, was a main cog in the offense, hitting the 
line hard for consistent gains. Carl played his best game at Principia 
when he made two long runs, each netting a touchdown. Helmers also 
possessed a good toe and was called upon to make many punts to bring 
the team out of the hole. Graduation also claims this man from the 
team.

Lawrence Buschmann, half-back and also from Warrenton, was a great 
factor in the defense of the team. He seemed to be in every play, 
getting his man and smearing plays of the opposition. "Buster" also 
handled the ball well on the offense, making many good gains. This was 
"Buster's" second year on the team. He too will be lost through 
graduation.

John Pitts, left guard and Foristell's representative on the football 
team, played a good game at his position. John, one of these overgrown 
fat boys, served as a mighty cog in the line of defense. This was 
John's first year on the team; since he is only a freshman, he should 
prove valuable for three more years.

Leemon Schuette, half-back and a former member of the star team of 
Jackson (Mo.) high school, lived up to his reputation in making good 
line plunges and end runs for consistent gains. As a deadly tackler, 
he also served well in the defense. Schuette, too, is a freshman and 
will be valuable material for three more years.

George Gerdeman, who is first lieutenant on his father's farm near 
Wright City, played right guard on the team for the past two years. 
George showed himself a tower of strength when plays were made on his 
side of the line and stopped many a good backfield man of the opposing 
team. We are sorry to lose George through graduation this year.

Herman Proett is the representative of Higginsville, Missouri, and 
right tackle on the team. Besides preaching at his charge, he finds 
time to play football. He proved to be one of the scrappiest players 
ever seen on the Wesleyan gridiron. Proett played four years on the 
varsity eleven but graduation again scores a K. O. on the team.

Warrenton High School
WARRENTON High School has a basketball team that has made itself the 
pride of the town, the school and the college. While the high school 
is in no way affiliated with the college, yet we feel a reflected 
glory in that their excellent coach, Ray Polster, is a graduate of 
Central Wesleyan. The high school team first attracted attention 
last year when they went to the semi-finals of the Warrenton 
Tournament. This year they experienced no difficulty in taking the 
Warrenton Tournament. In addition to defeating all of the 
neighboring high schools, including University City, they won the 
Kemper Tournament at Boonville. A little later they took first honors 
in the Northeast Missouri District Tournament held at Kirksville and 
immediately following, this three year high school team entered the 
state tournament in competition with sixteen of the best 
four-year teams in the state and returned with fifth place.

The Warrenton High School Team has won a reputation for playing fast, 
clean ball and their ability is not questioned by anyone. We trust that 
in two years they will be wearing the Blue and White. In the meantime, 
we congratulate the Warrenton High School for its splendid team and 
assure them of our unanimous support.

Wesleyan Basket Ball Squad

CENTRAL Wesleyan has every reason to be proud of her basketball team 
of the past season. At the opening of the season there was, 
seemingly, very poor prospects for a strong basketball squad, due to 
the fact that nearly every candidate was a Freshman. When the call 
for candidates was made, a surprisingly large number of men responded. 
After several weeks of practice, the hopes of the fans rose a little 
but it was evident that the team would not "set the world on fire."  
From the first game it was evident that every one was in for a 
surprise for instead of a mediocre team, the Cewescos presented a 
formidable offense and an exceedingly steady defense. The score 
went against us but the future looked brighter for our 
basketeers. With each succeeding game the team seemed to 
improve and as a result won six straight contests. Then just at the 
close of the season the team fell into a slump and lost three games 
but when the season closed Central Wesleyan ranked third  
in the conference. The most encouraging feature of our 
basket ball team is that four of the five regulars are Freshmen and 
next year is likely to find us at the top of the conference instead of 
in third place. 
Laverne Dewees-forward and captain. This young all-round athlete 
proved to be such a valuable player that when the all-star team of the 
M. C. U. A. was selected, he was tied with another player for first 
honors, the other player having the seniority was given the position.  
Dewees easily placed on the second all-star


(133)

team.  Laverne was strong on the defense and a dead shot from any part 
of the floor.  With his help next year a championship team should be 
developed.

Aaron Cravens-guard and captain elect. Cravens proved to be a great 
factor in the defense of the team as he played hard and was always in 
the thick of the fight. With every member of the team back next year, 
with the exception of one, with this years experience, and under the 
leadership of Cravens during the season, a team should be developed 
which will make it rough sledding for any team in the conference.

Lawrence Buschmann-forward. "Buster" played his second and last year 
on the squad and had the honor of being the only senior on the team. 
Many spectators did not appreciate Buster's playing merely because he 
was not a great offensive player. However, he broke up many a play and 
saved many a goal from being made by the opposition. We are quite sure 
that next year some team will profit by "Buster's" coaching and that 
he will turn out a winning team wherever he goes. 

Ernst Hoffman-center. Hoffman gained honors for himself and for the 
team by securing a place on the second all-star team of the conference. 
Hoffman had an exceedingly hard position to fill, being the pivot upon 
which the offense worked and also holding a responsible position on 
the defense. With this year's experience in college basketball, he 
should prove even more valuable next year and should help in rounding 
out our championship team.

Leemon Schuette-guard. Schuette also gained distinction by being placed 
on the second all-star team. Schuette not only was a star on the 
defense but also proved an invaluable man on the offense because of 
his shooting ability and his floor work. Schuette will be back next 
year and will do his part in forming that great team that every one is 
expecting Central Wesleyan to have.

Ned Grain-guard. Ned had the honor of being the only substitute to be
called upon regularly and who won a letter. Ned was a willing and hard 
worker and always fitted in the machine when needed. The team was 
fortunate in having a person like Ned who could do his work so capably 
and upon whom they could depend. The team will profit by having his 
services next year. 

The following is the schedule of the past season:

Central Wesleyan 17-Westminster... .27-at Warrenton.
Central Wesleyan 38-Central.........12-at Warrenton.
Central Wesleyan 32-Rolla...........26-at Rolla.

Girls' Basket Ball Squad

CENTRAL Wesleyan has always been proud of its girls' basketball 
team. Inter-collegiate girls' games were not scheduled until 
three years ago. During the first year the girls won the three 
games which had been scheduled. That year three of the team 
graduated but a strong nucleus remained for the succeeding team.  
The second year, five games were played and to keep their record clear, 
the girls won all five. Fate was again kind and only two girls left 
the team. With six members of the preceding squad to be used as a 
foundation for this year's squad, a fast team was organized.

This squad played two games with Principia of St. Louis and one with 
La Grange College of La Grange, Missouri. These were the only games 
that could be scheduled and all were easily won by the Wesleyan team. 
Not one of the games caused the Wesleyan girls to exert themselves as 
was shown by the score of one game, 40-0.

With six of the eight girls back next year a strong team should be 
developed. The greatest problem to confront the girls will be to find 
teams that are willing to play them.

Central Wesleyan 33-Principia----10-at Warrenton.
Central Wesleyan 39-La Grange.... 0-at Warrenton.
Central Wesleyan 31-Principia---- 8-at St. Louis.

Tennis Champions -- 1926

TENNIS, at Central Wesleyan, has never been developed as one of the 
major sports. Occasionally, a dual meet is held with some neighboring 
school but usually the tennis activity is confined to individual and 
intra-mural meet. A tournament is held each year for both boys' and
girls' single and double champions of the school.

The prospects for a track team are brighter this year than they have 
been for several years. More interest is being evinced this year 
quite a number have answered the call for track. Several promising 
sprinters are now at work and the most promising candidates will be 
taken to Columbia for the state meet, to Tarkio for the conference 
meet and also will take part in several local track meets. With more 
interest on the part of the students, track will take its place with 
football and basketball as a major sport at Central Wesleyan.

Women's Athletic Association

IN the fall of 1926, a Women's Athletic Association was organized by 
the Girls' W Club.  It is striving to enlist the interest of as many 
women students of Central Wesleyan College as possible in athletic 
sports, to establish educational leadership, and to organize girls' 
athletics for the physical benefit of the participants and the social 
and moral welfare of the students.

Any college girl is eligible for membership upon the earning of fifty 
points in any sport or sports. Through this association, we have a 
basis upon which to grant the college letter to girls in athletics. 
The one hundred point system was adopted and a girl is eligible for 
the letter upon the earning of four hundred points in the following 
sports: Volley-ball, soccer, basketball, baseball, tennis, and track. 
Members of the winning teams in the intra-mural tournaments receive 
one hundred points, substitutes of same teams receive fifty points, 
members of runner-up receive twenty-five points while substitutes of 
same teams receive ten points.

The association is a member of the Women's Division, National Amateur 
Athletic Federation. This means that points earned here will be 
recognized by other schools, members of the same Federation.

THE beautiful cover on this annual is a Becktold. Because it is a 
Becktold it will prove durable and lasting - a compliment to the 
wisdom and farsightedness of the staff in charge.

Becktold never fails to lend an atmosphere of true quality. The 
handsome grain, originality of design, deep embossing and artistic 
blending of colors have made this cover preferred. On these qualities 
the Beckold has built its reputation for complete satisfaction.

Mushrooms May Look Like Umbrellas
But-Dollars are Dollars
An interesting story is told of Dumas who, visiting in a German 
village, yet knowing nothing of the language, entered a restaurant and 
attempted to give an order. He desired mushrooms but unable to 
communicate this wish in words, he drew what he considered a very 
enlightening picture of a mushroom for the attendant. Whereupon that 
gentleman brought Dumas an umbrella.

In traveling abroad or at home there is often confusion due to 
unfamiliar manners and customs but the dollar or its equivalent speaks 
an universal and intelligent language. It eliminates worry and want and 
substitutes success and satisfaction.
