In appreciation of the Faculty we hesitate to say anything for it is altogether unlike any other in 
the world. It seems as if there was nothing to say about it by which we could make anyone understand 
our regard for our teachers.

They are men who begin their days with God, spend them in His service, and end them in His favor, 
hiding their lives in the task of training, with patient care, those who soon must thrust their 
shining sickles into the harvests of the world.

The greater a man is the more precious is a half hour alone with him. How priceless are the hours 
spent with these godly men who teach us to walk the earth but live in the heavens!

The Days and Deeds of 1908

The class of 1908 stands to-day on the threshold of the wide, wide world. We have almost run our 
college course. The eleventh day of June will mark the culmination of years of toil and pleasure. 
It is therefore right and proper for us to take a retrospective glance, and to trace the rough-beaten 
trail, which leads from the valley where the Preps dig and delve to that mountain peak where Seniors 
enjoy the honors and emoluments of the collegiate world.

Several members of the class have long been influenced by the genial atmosphere of C. W. C. Why, 
Carl Sauer took "Readin' Ritin' and 'Rith-metic" here before Roosevelt had stormed San Juan Hill 
or before Dewey had sailed into Manila Bay. William Morsey, native of Warrenton and Warren county, 
has been "brought up" a "moss back Missourian" "in whom there is no guile." Along about 1899 F. H. 
Kassman, then an ambitious pedagogue believing that "the school teachers of this generation are the 
statesmen of the next," acquired the

rudiments of knowledge at the feet of modern Gamaliels.

These pioneers and their colleagues met in the fall of 1904 and organized the Freshman class. 
O. L. Winker, now a student in Northwestern University, was elected the first President. These 
Freshmen were peaceful and law-abiding. They perpetrated no wild and woolly acts about the campus. 
They boasted not of gigantic victories of the imagination. But when the class of 1907 floated their 
gorgeous colors in the morning breeze of February the 22nd, 1905, these Freshmen were astir. They 
planned, they wrought a scheme, they scaled the heights by an unknown passage, they captured the 
Sophomore flag! They tore it into shreds and wore gay neck-ties of crimson and gold. These were the 
heroes of the first color rush.

When school opened in September 1905 the aspect of the Sophomore class was dismal in the extreme. 
There were only ten men. No girls to whisper words of cheer or to bind up the wounds of college war. 
Only ten. Few in numbers, but mighty in courage, timid in appearance but fearless in reality. And 
their efficient courage was amply illustrated on February 21st 1906 when they fought the hosts of

leyan tooth and nail." The Pulse of '06 speaks "of the glorious defeat of the Sophomores." Oh, 
biased historian! how couldst thou have penned that phrase after thou didst witness the combined 
forces of Preps, Freshmen and Junior strategists attack the Sophomore phalanx? Had that battle been 
fought out in a collegiate instead of a barbarous manner, then would the banner of 1908 have adorned 
the pinnacle of the college building until the warring elements would have unravelled it thread by 
thread.

This iniquitous class fight led to a declaration of college men's rights. It was printed in the 
Pulse '06. It is not necessary to analyze the literary merits of the document for these are above 
reproach. It is a veritable Magna Charta, another Declaration of Independence. Every student ought 
to commit it to memory, because it denounces artifice and treachery, because it is an appeal for 
true college spirit, and justice, pure and undefiled. I sing "All Hail" to the authors and signers 
of this declaration! Fearless exponents of the Truth! Independent thinkers, typical representatives 
of the class of 1908, who forever maintain principles in the heat of battle and fling their 
arguments in the face of opposition!

The ordeal of the Sophomore year established at least one fact, that 1908 was not the least of the 
tribes of Central Wesleyan. In 1906 we returned, and were designated "juniors." That junior year 
was one continual round of glory.

We wore white hats in "them times." Hats, that struck the observer's eye from afar, hats that 
reminded the history student of the plume of Henry of Navarre; hats that caused Preps, Freshies and 
Sophies to lift their own, hats that revolutionized the aesthetic natures of the austere Seniors.

Not only did we demonstrate that we possessed "good taste" but we wrought mighty deeds as well. 
We were noted for our strength as athletes. We challenged '07 to both base ball and basket ball 
games, but they, fearing the ominous potents of our challenges, buried them in the graveyard of 
Sophistry.

The Junior Exhibition, presented on March 13, 1907, was the consummation of Junior forethought, 
Junior skill, Junior ability. Rumors say that '07 with her Roman gardens and her gorgeous stars, 
displayed decorations, which eclipsed the handiwork of the past. But what did the natives of 
Warrenton say when they beheld that

arch inscribed "Iam Tempus Agi Res," when they saw '08 shields and pennants hanging in majesty 
on the wall, and when they were enraptured by the colored light effect? And what comments were 
made about the program, so devoid of fault or flaw? It is not polite to repeat compliments. Nor 
is it necessary. That exhibition left an indelible imprint upon the minds of the hundreds who viewed it.

We lived joyfully in the Junior Era. We plucked violets and pansies in fields Elysian; we partook of 
ambrosia and sipped nectar at all the prominent banquets. We reveled in "Dormitory Politics;" we 
sauntered along the winding Wabash railroad and along the rippling Charette creek with many a 
fair-haired co-ed. Kings might have envied such prestige! We held positions of honor. We left C. W. C. 
in June for the railroad's rail and the book agent's trail, and lived happily in "that good old 
summer time."

Vacation hurried by. The old college bell, blessed with sweetest melody laughed and rocked and rang 
and pealed when the Senior class was born on September the third, 1907. The well-known faces of Miss 
Frohardt and Mr. Roeder were not visible in that gathering. But the class has since

been re-enforced by the Messrs Krumme, Kassman and Maag and the Misses Brenner and Schulze. To-day we 
are nineteen, six ladies and thirteen gentlemen.

Six ladies. Only six? But six, who are wise with their lamps trimmed and burning, ready to illumine 
Life's dreary pathway with rays of kindness and love; six girls, happy, laughing, jolly, radiating 
good cheer wherever they go; six girls, prominent factors in the woman's world; two little ones, 
Ruth and Nora make melody like two little larks; another one presides with dignity in Philomathia's 
stately hall; one solves the business problems of the Y. W. C. A.; another paints beautiful pictures 
and manages the art department and the other playing on her violin causes the heart strings of 
audiences to vibrate with mysterious harmony. Six senior girls.

Thirteen men. Unlucky, you say? Yes, but thirteen men of high ideals, thirteen independent thinkers, 
thirteen leaders in college life, holding the highest offices in almost every organization; thirteen 
men, eight of whom are teaching classes in Grammar, Geography, Arithmetic French, Civil Government 
and Commercial Law, three of whom are leaders in the military company and

one who is an active minister of the Gospel. Thirteen Senior men.

These nineteen constitute the class of 1908. We believe in C. W. C. and all her sacred institutions. 
We idolize this school of the West for it is yet the center of true democracy; it is the hope for 
the young American of small means and of high ideals.

We revere our professors. We have fallen in love with them. They dealt kindly with us when we 
neglected our lessons, when we missed our classes, when we heeded not their stirring words of advice. 
We have dedicated this precious volume to him, who taught us how to wield the pen and helped us 
to cultivate an appreciation for the best in literature.

Oh faculty, faculty, of C. W. C.,
Ninteen hundred and eight loves thee!

This, then, is the restrospective glance. This is the trail by which we ascended from the lowly 
valley to that sunlit peak on which we stand to-day. The way was sometimes rough and rugged, but 
we retained our faith,and struggled on.

Let us focus our field glasses and take one prospective glance. Let us view the world lying out 
in the distance beyond the Nebo of Graduation.

that hid us to "Come and toil." There some of us will labor as artists, some as musicians, and 
others will be ministers and doctors and lawyers. We desire to infuse a little more of Truth where 
Truth is conquering. We hope to scatter a few mites of happiness among the sad and silent throngs 
of humanity.

Wether Success crowns our efforts or Failure blasts our hopes; whether Wealth leads us to mansions, 
or Poverty drives us to hovels; whether we be blessed with peace and joy and three score years and 
ten," or whether we be burdened with endless days of travail and sorrow, we, the members of the 
class of 1908, shall ever cherish warm and generous hearts that will forever beat in unison with 
the progress and the prosperity of Central Wesleyan College.

Junior Class Poem.

One word which more than others, to student's ear appeals, 
That fills the heart with ecstasy, which through his being steals
And sets his pulse throbbing with a college spirit's joy, 
That is the height of bliss and hope of every Sophie coy,
That word is Juniors! And can you ever wonder why
That for our loved Junior Class we'd "lay us down and die"?
Receding into dimmest past, we have with pleasure known
That infantile effusions of Freshmanhood long since have flown.
As well as Sophies frenzied strugglings, (most painful to behold)
To seem supremely wise and all such foolish stunts untold,
To misuse too of dictionary with words to twist their tongues
All these and similar frivolities, into the past we've flung.
And having not yet e'en attained unbearable conceit
That somehow seems to follow when a class has found its seat
Back in the southeast corner of our well-known Kessler Hall,
You can, with greatest justice, call the Juniors best of all.
(The editor was very much tempted to make an incision at this juncture, but after all -- let
the youngsters enjoy themselves - what'll they say next year about this?)
Yet some-how, too, it seems to me, the class of nineteen nine
(Just let me quote,) "that banner class round which our heart
strings twine,"


(22)

Is more than any other one, a source of pure delight,      
To school and to the faculty and not without a right.
With kindness and civility, we lower classes meet:
With due respect, but not servility the seniors treat;
The faculty we love. For other people's rights we hold
A just regard; nor do we tolerate rude jests untold.
Our motto is our guide; we learn that we might truly serve
Mankind with all our might, nor from that purpose ever swerve,
(Excelsior-Stuffing)
In nineteen five we wisely chose the violet for our flower
And 'tis our-symbol yet today and has been to this hour: 
"True blue" to Central Wesleyan and modest in our ways 
We've always been (?) nor do we idly deem it vain self-praise 
To set our unpretentious merits forth in words of truth. 
The ill-famed Junior pride which oft in former years, for sooth, 
Brought ill-repute on Junior name, we've used to suit our needs 
And modified in such a way that to our good it leads. 
In purpose we are stead-fast, lofty, high, our common aim, 
Originality indeed, we cherish just the same.
Then here's a rousing sounding cheer three times and thrice again 
To Juniors far and wide beloved by nations and all men. 
M.D.H.

Selected Smiles and Sentiments

It is a well-known fact that Maude drew nine seekers toward the north pole during the past year. 
One only was successful in making it a permanent stopping place.

"Sisterly love, oh me!" says Jack 
"What bliss! may I never its fulness lack! 
Since she is like me and her hair's not black 
But rather like gold, like mine," says Jack.

Estelle's chief fault and greatest mark of distinction is that she has'nt any.

Luther Nagel, resigning his position as a porter has accepted one as bridge inspector. Miss H. 
says he performs his duty faithfully.

Erna's name is a paradox. First it was Erna Sold Myers, now it seems to be Erna Bought Whip. 
Next - -? ?

Being the only preacher's son among us and visiting College Ave., are two note-worthy items 
about Paul H.

Kathie, (at the Oracle). 
"Fret not, oh gentle maid, nor dost thou need to know
What fate has yet in store for thee,  
'Tis all decreed, thy lot is Cast."

Peggy at the fire: "Oh my diamonds and Olin's picture!"

Neither Miss Kirschman nor Mr. Von Tungeln study Chemistry, yet their knowledge of affinities 
is so far-reaching that even their French-books go to-gether." (For further information see 
Miss Drew or Carl Sauer.)

Bakery and verses 
Blending flour and rhyme 
Mixing sentiment and dough 
Composing all the time 
Dyspepsia disperses.
HENRY JANSSEN.

Mr. Schneider (musing). "How can a mortal man keep peace with his roommate and share with him 
all the happiness and sorrows of Eisenmayer life when he is trying to beat his time?

How our hearts are touched, the depths of our souls stirred, when we behold the reunion of a 
number of loved ones! We stand aside in reverence as we see them together in their state of 
bliss, the love-light gleaming in their eyes. Such a sight is frequently afforded sojourners in 
the reading-room, when three Juniors (among them a brother and sister) and a Freshmen lassie get 
together. Only Fido yet to complete the circle. The meeting breaks up after singing "Blest be 
the tie" in an ocular way.

"Sophomores" In the "Crown"
(With apolngies to Demosthenes.)

Gentlemen of the Jury:
I stand before you today to defend myself and my class, not because we have been accused of any
 misdemeanor, not that we have neglected our sacred duties, but because we have been honored by those 
who esteem us and appreciate our merits and - how dare they - our enemies are brave enough to 
assault us openly in attempting to hinder Praise to be bestowed upon the Praisworthy.

They would mock Demosthenes' rival (for our rivals they are) who was put to shame while the great 
statesmen nourished in the estimation alike of friends and foes.

Lo, we have been honored by our elder brothers the Senior Class - in recognition of our victories 
in 1906-07, over our mutual enemies, the class of 1909, furthermore they have honored us for our 
geniune worth as a class, and lastly for our reforms introduced into college life at C. W. C. 
They - the Seniors - have moved, in college assembly to crown us publicly in recognition of what we 
have done. And, - may they regret it - our enemies come out and bring suit against our allies - the 
Senior Class - for making this proposal which they say is contrary to law. Oh! honorable Judge, do 
you not see through their scheme? Have they ever been so law-abiding as to carry out the law to 
such an extent? On the contrary; for instance in the color rush of 1906-7 the class of '09 disregarded 
the written law, and as to the law of equality and justice they have none. Oh! jurists it is the 
snare of the prejudiced schemer and the jealousy of the cowardly enemy. It is not a suit brought 
against the Senior Class but against us.' Why should they bring suit against the class which they 
otherwise honor and fear, why slander the partakers of their mutual feasts? - and more than that, 
would they haughtily sue the class that is recognized by their own teachers as superiors to 
them, without some selfish or jealous motive? Perhaps they would - I am sure no other class would 
be so foolish.

Gentlemen, the charge is for the greater part against us, they have accused the Senior Class in order 
to accuse us. The Senior Class has proven to satisfaction, that they have not proposed anything contrary 
to law, but we are held by the statement of the Junior and Freshmen classes that we


(28)

are not worthy to be crowned. The burden of my defense is therefore to prove that we are worthy to 
be crowned according to the proposal of the Senior class.

These classes - '09 and '11 - deny that we have done extraordinary deeds. What do they expect of 
us - aye indeed more than they themself have done? But we have done extraordinary deeds. We have 
gained victories over the class of '09 - even while we were Freshies. Oh Gentlemen, this is the whole 
secret of the charge namely one of revengeful men - not one of law abiding men. We surpassed them 
in the color rush in which they treated us so shamefully, we beat them in baseball, and as to basket 
ball they would not even accept our challenge. But our stubby Freshmen class says they beat us in 
baseball this year. Oh! yes by how much? By one akward swing of the bat, but how about basket ball? 
Oh! they did'nt mention that, did they? we put them to shame there, Furthermore these yearling 
classified say we did not have a color rush because we were cowards. Gentlemen I appeal to you, 
does this show cowardice or does it show manly reform? The Juniors say they have not been crowned 
and that they are more worthy than we, but consider for a moment: where they made the color-rush 
fiercely cruel we eliminated it, when they left battles unfought and challenges unanswered, we have 
up to this moment upheld the honor of our class.

Gentlemen, if you can show us more prominent and worthy Juniors or Freshmen than we are Sophomores 
we will dedicate our crown to them. Our class stands high in every department of college, whether 
you go to departement of Theology, of Philosophy, of Law, of Medicine, of Teaching, of Music, of 
Business or what it may be. Our class is worthy to be crowned in the face of every Junior and 
Freshmen of C. W. C. If anyone of them can prove the contrary let, him come up and take my 
place. - - None comes.

Gentlemen: The charge was practically ended when the Seniors made their defense. I think I have 
shown that in as much as we are concerned, we are worthy to be crowned.

Freshmen.

The combination of seven and eleven is often associated with good luck. The Freshmen Class has not 
been an exception, for never has any first year class been so fortunate. Not only has it received 
merited recognition but it has even successfully helped to cultivate brotherly relations with the 
Sophomore Class.

Our total weight is 3124 Ibs. Our average age 18 1-2 years. In our number are seven ministers' 
children. Two of our boys came from distant China. We have representatives in almost every 
organization of the College, and several of our athletes have helped to win laurels for C. W. C. 
in interscholastic meets. Quite a few of the members of the class of '11 are accomplished musicians 
and the most brilliant students in the Virgil class, who always 'get down" to the last, line are 
Freshmen.

Last year the Freshmen Class boasted of being "the largest ever known to exist in C. W. C. We are 
proud to say we have beaten them by two. Our total number is twenty-three.

"Skidoo" was a suprise given to the representatives of the Sophomore Class in the tennis tournament 
on October 8th, after which they had to leave the court as loosers. The greatest lemon of the year 
was the base ball game of September 3Oth, when in the last half of the ninth inning, with two out 
and a score of 12 to 13 in favor of the Class of '10, one of our players knocked out a home run, 
allowing three runners to cross home plate. The score 15 to 13 was posted in many conspicuous places 
from second floor of Eisenmayer Hall to the P. O. bulletin board.

Our victories have been won, not without a struggle but we have succeeded in the spirit of our Class 
Motto: "He conquers who endures." Never has the Black and old Gold suffered disgrace for lack of 
confidence among its defenders or because of cowardice and fear to meet any foe.

This is the record of our first year. Watch us!

Preparatoric Diffusions.

Since our class is represented in practically every branch and department of collegiate activity, 
we believe it fitting and proper that in this publication, which is to represent the school, we, 
too as loyal members of the student body, should be represented.

We are "only Preps," it is true, and as such rank the lowest among the classes of C. W. C. But 
while we have not as yet many achievements of which to boast, it is also to be remembered that we 
have no mistakes to mourn, no blunders to blot our record. The whole future lies before us, and we 
are only at the lowest round of the educational ladder. But remember our Motto, watch patiently, 
and you will see us advance upward.

They admit:
That from this department men have entered all the different professions of life,
That members of this class have gained distinction in C. W. C. for proficiency in oratory, debate, 
and legal procedure,
That representatives of this class are among the leaders in every branch of athletics.

No Prep, No Senior,
Yon giant oak was but an acorn once.
A wise Prep is better than a dull Senior.

Signs of prominence:
1. Our class has the most prominent man in College - Mr. Hasenjaeger.
2. We claim the greatest Artist in school - Mr. Bauer.
3. In our ranks stand the two smallest students at C. W. C. - Mr. Korb and Mr. Bartholomaeus.
4. Our members have classes with Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors.
5. From our class the Military Department not only draws privates, but officers as well.
6. Our class includes the "brightest, the prettiest, the merriest, the wittiest" girls in C. W. C. 
(Some of the upper classmen would most heartily endorse this).
7. The Preps give vent to bursts of oratory from the stages of Garfield, Philomathia and Germania.

Sternennacht.
von H. Maag.

Abendrot erglänzt am Himmel,
Friede senkt sich in die Brust,
Und das Herz aud dem Getümmel,
Schwingt sich auf zu höh'rer Luft.
Milde Stern an Stern erscheinet
In der klaren Sommernacht;
Blicken freundlich auf uns nieder,
Preisen ihres Schöpfers Macht.
Sie erzählen von der Erbe,
Was sie da und dort geseh'n;
Von der Freude, von dem Schmerze
Wenn wir sie nur recht verstehn.
Malen auch mit ihrem Glanze
Bilder uns in unser Herz,
Die mit Freude uns erfüllen,
Oder auch mit tiefem Schmerz.
Fernen malen sie die Heimat
In dem lichten Farbenton,
Und es sehnt sich in der Fremde,
Nach der Heimat Mancher Sohn.
Und die Mutter denkt der Lieben,
Din in weiter Ferne sind,
Und es flüstern ihre Lippen;
Hüt, o Gott, mein fernes Kind!
Freunded sagen sie vom Freunde,
Der fern weilt in fremdem Land,
Über fernem Meeresstrande
Sei noch fest der Freudschaft Band.
Darum seid gegrüßt ihr Sterne,
Die ihr bindet, was getrennt,
Denn ob nah, ob in der Ferne
In gleicher Pracht man euch erkennt.
Vater-, Mutter- Freundesaugen
Strahlen uns in eurem Licht,
Und uns ist, als ob sie riesen:
Menschenkind, vergiß uns nicht!

MEETING OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION.

Warrenton, Missouri February 28, 1908. 
Long before the day the students of Central Wesleyan rejoiced in knowing that the next meet ing 
of the I. N. A. would be at Warrenton. Rightly so, for it was not a meeting of little importance 
but one where the great questions of the day were to be discussed by the leading business Business 
men of the world.   

Promptly at nine o'clock on the day set Pres. Harman called the Meeting to order in the Auditorium 
of the magnificent Science Hall. A large and enthusiastic audience had assembled. Secretary Quillman, 
successor to J. Beerpoint Morgan, then called the roll. Every member was present. Thereupon Chaplain 
Hazenjaeger, manager of Shears Rawbuck & Co., led in the song "My Country Tis of Thee." When the 
sweet strains of our National Hymn resounded in the vast halls, every one felt that America was 
leading the Commercial World, and that C. W. C. was the best spot on earth.
            
The first number of the progamme was a welcome address by Dr. Addicks, D. D., Chancellor Emeritus of 
Central Weslsvan University whereupon Mr. Lessmann, Pres. of Brown's Colleges, responded.

Mr. "Shorty" of the Dixie Lumber Company of Arkansas addressed the meeting on "Woman's Suffrage," he 
brought out in an elegant manner the necessity of open parlors. He closed with an appeal to Humanity 
to give this great question its due consideration.

Mr. Lieser, successor to J. D. Rockyfellor, thereupon gave his lecture on "Who has the Oil Can?" He 
reminded us of the incident which led him to take this subject calling attention to the


(63)

days spent in old C. W. C. It was no more a joke but a reality that one of the Commercial Class of 
'08 had the oil can at last which caused so much complication and confusion.

Mrs. Tschaikonskyee, nee Delventhal, then rendered a vocal solo "Memories of the past," accompanied 
by Mrs. Constantinona, nee Allinger. Both showed remarkable ability and did credit to their world 
renowned husbands.

But the expectations of the day were climaxed when Rev. Schwartz, traveling solicitor for the German 
Aerial Association, delivered his lecture on "Power of Hot Air." He poured forth his principles in a 
brilliant style and showed his ability in expounding his views.

"EVENING MEETING."

The close of the day had come and night with its heavenly beauties was ruling supreme. Throngs of 
people filled the hall once more for the evening session. The topic of the evening was a debate.

"Resolved - That a highly educated person is a better citizen than one who has but a scant education."

The affirmative was presented by Mr. Holt, an accountant employed by the Truesdale Hoop-pole Co., 
and Mr. Detring Foreign Ambassador to Grease (Greece). The negative was presented by Mr. Gaebe, owner 
of a Limburger cheese factory, and Mr. Middelkamp manager of the International Dried Fruit Co.

Miss Kelsick then favored us with a vocal duet entitled, "Had I but known." This was an enchanting 
and incomparable musical production and was the best heard here this season if not in years. Thereupon 
Mr. Shiermeier, catcher of the Chicago "Cubs" presented an address on "How to Catch" (Suckers). He 
showed the schemes of modern business men and proved that C. W. C. business men were first in rank.

But as all good things come they also pass. Prof Meine, President of the Chicago University of 
Shorthand, gave the closing address. Twenty years ago Prof. Gregg was known as a world renowned 
stenographer, but today Prof. Gregg lives in the past and is scarcely reckoned with Prof. Meine. 
In a fluent style he brought out the necessity of shorthand the world over and the general 
acceptability of his system. He stated that his start to success dated back to his training received 
at C. W. C.

After the meeting closed and it had been decided to meet the following year at Berlin the members 
of the Association retired to the Dining Hall and enjoyed a banquet given in honor of the 
Commercial Class of '08.

Conservatory of Music.

"O, music! miraculous art, that makes the poet's skill a jest; revealing to the soul inexpressible 
feelings, by the aid of inexplicable sound! A blast of the trumpet and millions rush forward to die; 
a peal of the organ and uncounted nations sink down to pray. Mighty is thy three-fold power! Thou 
canst call up all elemental sounds and scenes and subjects with the definiteness of reality. 
Strike the lyre! lo, the voice of winds - the flash of lightning - the swell of the wave - the 
solitude of the valley! Then thou canst speak the secrets of man's heart as if by inspiration. 
Strike the lyre! lo, our earthly love, our treasured hate, our withered joy, our flattering hope! 
By thy mysterious melodies, thou canst recall man from all thought of this world and of himself, 
bringing back to his soul's memory dark but delightful recollection of the glorious heritage which 
he has lost, but which he may win again. Strike the lyre! lo, paradise, with its palaces of 
inconceivable splendor, and its gates of unimaginable 
glory."

This art - the finest of fine arts - is being cultivated by a goodly number of C. W. C. students. 
It has been classed as one of the requisites to our life and development. Through it we can find 
expression for the deepest inwardness of all conditions of the soul.

To stimulate the taste of those less appreciative for good music and to satisfy the cravings of the 
music lovers of this community an unusually good series of recitals was provided this season. The 
well known organist, Vaile Mclntyre; Nathan Sacks, a St. Louis pianist; Wort Morse, a talented 
violinist: and Mrs. E. H. Knehans in her vocal recital, left us interpretations of masterpieces 
which will not soon be forgotten. The Musical Union rendered C.Whitney Coombs' "The First 
Christmas," Coleridge Taylor's "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast;" Mendelssohn's "Elijah;" the Chapel 
Choir Ashford's "Beatitudes;" and the seniors won laurels in their graduation recitals.

Three of our members will go hence, bearing the "sheep-skin." Fondly we bid them farwell! Soon 
they shall meet the stern realities of life face to face, but we trust the music which permeates 
their whole being will make life's pathway one continuous song. To you who are striving to gain 
the heights attained by those who are bidding us adieu we say - bon voyage!

This year's orchestra which began with only a few members who displayed any interest in the work, 
has grown to a prosperous organization. The year's work was entered upon with scarcely any signs 
of success. But after the harmonious sounds of a few stringed instruments made their appeal to the 
busy student, he too was willing to unite his talent with that of the few and assist in the work. 
Week after week the organization grew. The Warrenton Band showed its appreciation in the work by 
sending on request the band instruments necessary to make the organization complete. With the 
united forces of twenty-one wide awake musicians the organization then prospered.

Miss Edith Haenssler, the directress, has proved herself to be an efficient leader. Under her 
guidance most gratifying results have been attained. The members of the organization are those who 
are students of stringed instruments, and others who are competent players on any orchestral instrument.

On April 15 the orchestra rendered its first annual concert. The numbers were all well rendered 
and a good program was reported by all those present.

We look forward to a much larger and better orchestra next year which we anticipate shall surpass 
any preceding one.

"Sophomores" In the "Crown"
(With apolngies to Demosthenes.)

Gentlemen of the Jury:
I stand before you today to defend myself and my class, not because we have been accused of any 
misdemeanor, not that we have neglected our sacred duties, but because we have been honored by 
those who esteem us and appreciate our merits and - how dare they - our enemies are brave enough 
to assault us openly in attempting to hinder Praise to be bestowed upon the Praisworthy.

They would mock Demosthenes' rival (for our rivals they are) who was put to shame while the great 
statesmen nourished in the estimation alike of friends and foes.

Lo, we have been honored by our elder brothers the Senior Class - in recognition of our victories 
in 1906-07, over our mutual enemies, the class of 1909, furthermore they have honored us for our 
geniune worth as a class, and lastly for our reforms introduced into college life at C. W. C. 
They - the Seniors - have moved, in college assembly to crown us publicly in recognition of what 
we have done. And, - may they regret it - our enemies come out and bring suit against our 
allies - the Senior Class - for making this proposal which they say is contrary to law. Oh! 
honorable Judge, do you not see through their scheme? Have they ever been so law-abiding as to 
carry out the law to such an extent? On the contrary; for instance in the color rush of 1906-7 
the class of '09 disregarded the written law, and as to the law of equality and justice they have 
none. Oh! jurists it is the snare of the prejudiced schemer and the jealousy of the cowardly enemy. 
It is not a suit brought against the Senior Class but against us.' Why should they bring suit 
against the class which they otherwise honor and fear, why slander the partakers of their mutual 
feasts? - and more than that, would they haughtily sue the class that is recognized by their 
own teachers as superiors to them, without some selfish or jealous motive? Perhaps they would - 
I am sure no other class would be so foolish.

Gentlemen, the charge is for the greater part against us, they have accused the Senior Class in 
order to accuse us. The Senior Class has proven to satisfaction, that they have not proposed 
anything contrary to law, but we are held by the statement of the Junior and Freshmen classes that we

Goethenia.

Another year has made its round and Goethenia has kept pace with the rapid strides of Central 
Wesleyan. Certainly this can be explained by the fact that it was made up of the leading men 
of the school. Of its seventeen members, eleven are on the roll of Seniors, three are Juniors, 
two are Sophomores and one a Professor.

Owing to this grade of talent, the members show their diversified interest in various lines. "Viele 
Koepfe, viele Sinne" is an old proverb and it can be applied even to Goethenians. President 
Morsey presides with the sternness of Speaker Cannon. Judge Ditzen is the enforcer of the Law of 
the Medes and Persians, one that is needed in all organizations because the general opinion today 
is: "We don't need more laws, we need more law." Prof. Walter is our authority in English and 
exhibits great originality in all his productions. Principal Stagner being accustomed to have 
children about him points out our faults. But we must also make mention of our Political men, 
Dr. Kettelkamp, although one of Bryan's campaign leaders, is a great friend and standby. Abbreviated 
Wipperman, our Taft leader, is a leader also of Athletics. Consul Sauer, although C. W. C's best 
all around Literary shark, is our society painter. Anyone wishing terms had better see him and his 
force, since he has a standing enforcement. Dr. Krumme 
Ph. D., President of C. W. C. Social Culture Club, is a close observer of all manners and customs. 
We look forth to the happy completion of his work of two volumes on "Etiquette" Senator Kassman is 
a debating shark as a result of abstention from all social life (girls we mean). But we must not 
forget that we are well represented in "sporting lines," Rev. Bader our first President this year, 
and Farmer Milam are the choice of our fair opposite sex and rightly so, we can't all be bachelors 
which is generally an editor's luck. Janssen, the Baker, Schneider the Veterinarian, and Hemke the 
"Krieger" constitute our Junior force. Robertus represents the ever-active Sophomores. The rest are 
only to be heard and not seen.

We are proud of our deeds, and justly so, for they give us a high place of honor. We always did our 
specials well but this year we did one better, just "As You Like It."

the utmost. You were indeed lucky to have arrived in time to get such pleasant rooms at the Orphan 
Home.

Otillia: Some more Philomathia girls here? How delightful!

Erna: Yes, is'nt it? We must have a spread and a good general "confab" together before we go home. 
But I want to see Frances at once. Where is she?

Kathryn: She is resting now, and would rather not be disturbed, I think, for she is quite fatigued 
from travel and overwork. You know, as manager of the Park Conservatory of music in St. Paul, she 
has toiled unceasingly and because of her efficiency has made famous both herself and her school. 
Georgia, however, will soon be down.

Erna: I heard that HER husband has made a phenomenal record as Sousa's successor. I do not wonder 
at it a bit. Don't you remember his diligence and perseverance as founder and manager of our 
orchestra in 1908.

Otillia: Talk about phenomenal records! I think Clara Baur has eclipsed us all. Who ever suspected 
that that quiet girl would develop into an astronomer, known over the whole world for her wonderful 
discoveries? She must be fonder of star-gazing than she appeared to be.

Kathryn: Well such is life! One never can tell how things will turn out. I never thought Pauline 
would forget the embryo preacher she ran with here. But, goodness, that wealthy rancher from 
Australia who visited our neighbors two years ago, just picked her up willy-nilly and took her to 
his home across the Pacific. She has found her manager all right and is as meek as you please.

Otillia: I believe we girls are scattered to the four corners of the earth. Anna and her husband are 
settled in a German parish at Spring Valley, Idaho, and Ella Walter and Mary Kellner are teaching 
in the Philippines. Then Helen Korb is in Damascus and Emma Meier in China. That courtship over the 
dishpan is really going to culminate, for C - L - left for China last month.

Kathryn: Emma Nothdurft is the only girl who has been sensible enough to stay with her parents. Her 
life and her character are a potent influence for good in her home community.


(81)

Erna: By the way, where is Clara Wehking and what is she doing?

Kathryn: Why, didn't you know that she and her musical(!)husband have gone to Germany for the summer? 
Upon their return they will take charge of Frances's conservatory for Frances has finally decided 
that tho "music hath charms" so hath - well, I am not supposed to tell.

Erna: Just as you say, but I'll get the information from Frances herself. You see if I don't! 
I'll ask her at once. She has rested long enough. Excuse me, please.

(Exit Miss Sell).

Kathryn: I should think that Erna's responsibilities would make her more precise and dignified, 
but actually she's as flighty as ever.

Otillia: Not to change the subject at all - but have you heard the latest about Estelle? There 
really was foundation for our suspicions in regard to those letters from Hyde Park, Chicago. She 
lives there, now. I am quite positive she and her literary (?) affinity will be here some time 
this week.

Kathryn: The little minx! She always was quiet about her "affaire du coeur." I never knew but that 
those letters were from her sister.

Otillia: Why Kathie, I gave you credit for more perspicuity than that. I supposed you knew it all 
the time. Perhaps, you didn't notice Emma Brenner's "case" either.

Kathryn: Oh! that was too evident. But her name is no longer Brenner. She and her friend of the 
"sweet and tranquil sea of matrimony" fame have embarked on a "Cunard" steamer for Germany for the 
"Honorable" has been invited to deliver a series of addresses on "Republican Law" at the Heidelberg 
University. Emma will address the Woman's Club on The Status of American Women."

Otillia: I always said she presented an excellent appearance on the platform - and you must remember 
she received most of her training in Philomathia, the rose among the thorns of literary societies 
of this institution.

Kathryn: That is true. Isn't it sad though to think how many who were here never took advantage of 
this manner of systematically developing their literary abilitites? You know our strength as a 
society never lay in the number, but in the faithfulness, industry and perseverance of its members. 
That the discipline was of incalculable and invaluable advantage has been proven by our success. - 
But there are the girls coming down the stairs! Let's go to meet them.

Exeunt Mrs. Cast and Miss Dueker.

Garfieldian Notes.

Garfield Society has just had one of the most prosperous years in its history - We would in no way 
mar the record of its successes by praising them though anything less would be inadequate.

*    *    *    *     *    *    *    *    *    *
A few personal notes may be of interest to friends of the Garfieldians.

Bolm: I would like to join the orchestra.
Bauman: What instrument can you play?
Bohm: I can rattle my brains.

Hartel has moved to the roof of Eisenmayer Hall in order to be able to study astronomy better.

Lindauer defending a man who has just been fined: "it is not de fine but de brincibal ob de ding."

Ask Sasse how much he would take for himself with his new overcoat on.

Schowengerdt has gone into the real-estate business. He will sell you land in Texas at 250 an acre 
that far surpasses the most fertile spots in Missouri or Illinois.

Addicks thinks "it is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all."

Quillman in Gruner's room reading a novel: "Gruner what does 'sophisticated' mean?"

Yaeger will make a professional farmer. He says he can haul fourteen tons of hay on one wagon 
drawn by two horses.

Kleinschmidt rises very early; he needs no waking. - He has one (Clara.)

Baur makes pictures, his girl paints - a family of artists.

Tang, alias "Satchel," is noted for his talk on girls.

Ling is very modest and unassuming and does not talk much and so gives us no opportunity for 
a joke.

Meyer is going on the stage. We are confident that if the manager of a theatrical troupe could 
hear him rehearse "about - seek - burn - kill - slay - let not a traitor live," he would consider 
him a rare personification of operatic talent.

Ott joined the Hincumfunnydusters but did not stay with them long. Wonder why? Possibly it was 
on account of his studies.

Gruner has overcome his sporting proclivities and is now applying himself diligently to his studies.

Hertenstein alias "Yasaac" seems to have a strong desire to affiliate with the faculty; he has 
been hanging around one of the homes very often here of late.

Johannaber has overcome his "obstakles" in college life.

Wipperman will no doubt be Professor Prick's successor as Professor of Mathematics next year.

The enrollment of the Y. W. C. A. during this year has surpassed that of former years, for the 
association now has seventy members. Every Tuesday evening we have our regular meetings, led by 
some member of the association. Our speakers are sometimes members and oftentimes outside speakers, 
who give us interesting and beneficial talks. The girls enjoy the "heart to heart" talks which are 
given by Mrs. Vosholl.

Bible study classes were organized with an enrollment of twenty-eight members. The following books 
are studied; - "Life of Christ" (Sharman) and "Harmony of Gospel" (Stevens and Burton) taught by 
Miss Heidel; "Miracles," Miss Frick; "Parables," Miss Brenner.

Our Cabinet this year has been studying a book on "Personal Work," taught by Mrs. Vosholl. We find 
it very helpful to ourselves in helping others.

A mission study class has also been formed.

They study "Gloria Christi" (Anna Lindsay), taught by Mrs. Rinkel.

Miss Drew represented our association at the Summer Conference" held at Cascade, Colo, in August. 
She brought back new ideas and plans for the benefit of the organization.

To the state convention held at St. Joseph, Mo., in November we sent four delegates: - Ella Walter, 
Clara Eversmeyer, Amelia Jacob, and Elsie Kramer. They reported an enjoyable time and noted things 
of benefit.

Our Association manifests great strength, not only in number but a true religious spirit and feeling 
exists. The girls take an active part and feel it their duty to do anything willingly and 
cheerfully that they are called upon to do.

Our prayeer meetings are of special benefit, when all the girls feel free to take part. Our aim is to 
raise the girls to a higher standard of Christian life.

The Y. M. C. A. during the past year has received cordial support on every hand and prides itself 
on having rendered at least a small service to the men of the student body. This is exactly as it 
should be. The Association in C. W. C. endeavors to meet certain intellectual, social and especially 
religious requirements in the life of every student whom it can influence. It does not try to foist 
on the boys something they do not want, but to satisfy a need which every student feels. And in view 
of these facts it is only to be expected that it receive healthy support from the faculty and 
student body.

Active interest has been taken in Bible and Mission study. C. W. C. ranks with the first in these 
branches. The devotional meetings have been interspersed by several life-work talks, which were 
distinguished especially by candid sincerity. A number of enjoyable social events have relieved the 
monotony of student life.

The year just closed was the sixth in the Y. M. C. A.'s history in C. W. C. We expect the seventh to 
be more fruitful and successful than any previous one.

We have eighty-five members.

The Student Volunteer Band is again on a solid footing. Last year there was a band in College, 
however its existence was scarcely known by students not members. There were only five members, 
all these except one returned for this year's school. Now the Band has a membership of fourteen.

The Spirit of God has been and is having a great influence on the thoughts and conduct of the 
students. Never before have we been so impressed and so clearly informed that we should first try to 
do the will of God and all things will be added unto us. (Matt 6:33). We desire to follow that 
occupation in which we feel the greatest need exists and for which we possibly may become efficient.

Some of us have felt the special need of spreading the Gospel. We express our intentions by being 
student volunteers. We feel the need of more workers in Africa, China, India and other foreign fields.

We love to think of the time when we shall be prepared to do effective work abroad. It is our 
purpose to acquire such knowledge and to have such experiences as will make us able missionaries. 
Should we be hindered in any way from attaining efficiency or should we be thwarted by physical 
disabilities, we shall give up our one minor ideal, but never shall we diverge from the supreme 
purpose to serve God as long as we live.

We have before us the motto of our Band, "The evangelization of the world in this generation." So if 
we are not factors in this cause abroad, we can be agents here at home. For in all great 
undertakings there needs to be a firm, strong base. Persons, as laymen, can and occasionally should 
direct their gaze and interests to mission work abroad. Then there is much to be done in missions 
right here at home. There are plenty left here to do it too. The shortage is caused by lack of 
application of the best that is in us. We beseech that we and many others may be more sincere, 
energetic workers at home and if abroad be capable missionaries.

EPWORTH LEAGUE CABINET

Epworth League.

Officers

Dr. GEO. B. ADDICKS, President.  
Vice-Presidents: PROF. WEIFFENBACH, DR. A. W. EBELING, Miss OLIVIA HEIDEL, Miss KATE FRICK.   
Rec. Secretary, HENRY MAAG.  
Cor. Secretary, Miss MARIE HEMKE.
Treasurer, CARL SAUER.  
Organist, Miss EDITH KRIEGE,

The growth and development of our Epworth League during the year has been a source of great pleasure 
for both cabinet and members. The interest in the meetings has been unfailing, and the participation 
and attendance all that could be desired. The E. L. room is nearly always well filled. The league 
enrollment is about 140 members.

The chief stress of our work is laid on the devotional side, as social and literary demands are met 
by the other organizations of the school. The question that has occasionally been raised as to 
whether or not it would be wise to drop the league work, since Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. supply 
the necessary devotional meetings, has always met with an emphatic negation on the ground that the


(93)

joint meetings of young men and women are the most helpful and blessed, that even though this is 
the chief aim, our league has been active in other directions; such as supporting and doing 
missionary work, visiting the poor and the sick, as well as purchasing books for the use of both 
league and Sunday School. The efforts of the Social Committee livened the quiet of last summer's 
vacation by arranging a picnic at Little Charrette which proved a great success.

Several of the special meetings held at various times, deserve special mention. One was the union 
rally meeting of all the young peoples' organizations of the town, which undoubtedly brought a 
great blessing to all who attended. Dr. Addicks delivered the address. Our league also accepted 
the invitation of the M. E. Church South organization to hear a most profitable address by our 
League president. Another meeting which was especially helpful was the one in which the topic 
"What About the Kingdom," the question which struck the key-note at the convention at St. Joseph 
was discussed, and the New Years' Motto meeting, when each gave his motto for the New Year, will 
no doubt, be long remembered.

5. Our Notional Defender - Andrew Jackson.

That a love for and practice in the art of oratory might be encouraged and maintained in C. W. C., 
Mrs. Kriege and sons of Denver, Colorado, in 1893 established the Kriege Oratorical Prize. Annual 
Contests are held in which any classified student may take part. Steps are now being taken to make 
our Association a member of an Intercollegiate organization. The interest in oratory is by no means 
dead in C. W. C. It is the duty of the men who come back next year to see that no stone is left 
unturned until we gain the place we deserve in the Intercollegiate Organization. It is a just cause 
for regret that more Freshmen, Sophomores and even more Juniors do not take a more lively interest 
in the Annual contests. There is no reason why the Seniors should have been the only orators in 
C. W. C. this year. Mr. Ditzen won first prize

Odds and Ends of Military Tactics.

Since the burning of the Gymnasium the Museum has been pressed into service as an Armory. We hope 
that in the near future all the rifles now in use will be relegated to this most appropriate place. 
They are relics and should be put on the shelf. Let's all pull for new rifles.

Capt. "What is meant by rout step?"
Private in rear rank. That means that if the route of march is long, you take long steps, if short, 
take short steps."

Officer. "When is the command 'QuickTime' given and what does it mean?"
Cadet. "The command 'Quick' Time is given only when being closely pressed by the enemy and it means 
to get out as quickly as possible."

Lotz (preparing to load shells) "Sergeant we can't find the decapitator."

Mr. H. to Mr. K., who is wearing his military trousers; "Hello there! Well, I see you are wearing 
your brave pants this morning."

Capt. in written exams. "What two kinds of commands have we?"
Cadet T. "The commands comparitive and exautive."

Hasenjaeger measures his growth in weight by the number of military trousers he has had to buy.

1st Private. "What are we going to eat at Camp this year?"
2nd Private. "Shadow soup."
"What's that?"
O, that's made by hanging up a bean so it will throw its shadow in a kettle of water for about five 
minutes. After this it is ready to serve. Guaranteed to quench thirst."

Corporal to private on guard, "if you see some one approach, tell him three times to halt, whereupon 
if he continues to advance you shall fire on him.
Guard seeing man advance; "Halt three times there or I shoot."

Guard on duty. "Halt! who's there?" "Advance and give the countersign, Gettysburg."
Gettysburg." 
There was no more disturbance.

A Prose Idyl of the Walton Court.

Amid green trees lies the court, looking out upon the athletic field to the east. On the side 
stretches the country road, with farmers going home from town in their slow, lumbering wagons. 
The afternoon sun throws a welcome shade on its white sand but a short time before glaring in the 
sun. The echoes of the last bell have died on the lazy breeze, and soon a group of players in cool 
white stroll down. The white net, the count lines, the suits of the players blending with the 
fluttering green of the trees round about - the colors of the Walton Court!

The server stands with racket poised high above his head - serve one - with a vicious zip the ball 
hits in the court - the game is on! Strength and skill and brains are being pitted against each 
other. Furious serves alternate with trickey cuts and curves. Volleys and lobs are employed to break 
down the defense of the opponent. The ball is directed into uncovered territory, and so the games 
are won and lost until the first supper-bell rings its warning. Bathed in sweat, glowing from the 
exertion, every nerve a-tingle, feeling refreshed and with a rousing appetite, the players leave the 
court to exchange play for the work of the school again. The place is deserted now; but the morning 
sun will again witness the white balls whinning from side to side, and when the heat of noon has 
abated sufficiently, the grounds again become the scene of activity until once more night falls.

Walton Tennis Club.
Patent not applied for by Wm. L. Morsey.

On the eastern end of Walton Street, 
Not very far away,
There lies a pretty tennis court 
Where each one loves to play.

The club was found a year ago. 
Of members it had eight;
But now it has some more you know, 
Whose names I shall relate.

The first of them a sweet young chap, 
Although his name is Sauer,
Without a coat or hat or cap 
Plays tennis by the hour.

The next one is a happy boy 
Who dearly loves the dirt [?] 
He is somebody's sister's joy, 
His name is Schowengerdt.

Shorty Schulze belongs to the club, 
This I want to say,
Do not think Shorty a duf 
For he knows just how to play.

We have a professor with us too. 
Does this give you a shock
Let me introduce to you 
Professor Weiffenbach.

Another lad is Wipperman, 
Who has a dandy serve.
He puts them over black or tan, 
With an in, out, up, down curve.

His fame not known to ancient Greece, 
Who had a Homer sooner,
We have a Homer, if you please, 
And this is Homer Gruner.

One other boy whose name is Meyer 
But we all call him Mike,
Serves them up just hot like fire 
And makes the others hike.

We have two chappies in the game 
And these two youths are brothers.
Hessel is the one's name, 
And Hessel is the other's.

Kettelkamp, he's the man, 
Who plays the game, you bet.
He'll run a mile if he but can 
To play a lone set.

Ray Addicks of Eisenmayer Hall 
Has us all beat,
The way he makes you shag the ball 
Would almost burn your feet.

The latest addition to our team, 
Enjoys the name of Rixey,
They say he has a lot of steam, 
And plays the game like Dixey.

History of Central Wesleyan College.
Told by Men of the Times.

The Earliest Days of Central Wesleyan College.
by Prof. J. H. Frick.

Central Wesleyan in early days! What a host of reminiscences are stored up in memory from those 
days, with their simple pleasures, their difficulties - so small as viewed from the distance of 
almost forty years, but then, very real and perpexling, - and withal their wholesome good times. 
Space permits the recounting of only a few of these, so they shall be related in the order in which 
the connection is established in my memory cells.

Among those boys and girls of the old days are some, whom closer friendship or some trick of 
memory, has preserved freshest in mind. Among them are Dr. Christ Hillebrant who as a student 
bossed the job of moving the "gym" from Truesdale; Capt. Joseph Burger now in St. Paul was here 
then too, and can tell some moving stories of the early days; Prof. L. H. Jokisch, Prof. Henry 
Jacoby, Henry Kuhl and Christ Boeshenz are associated together on account of chicken-fries and 
other adventures in the old Orphan Asylum attic. "Some of the boys" that helped to organize 
Goethenia Literary Society and used to make the rafters shake with their impassioned eloquence have 
later risen to prominent places in various parts of the country. Among these are John Papen, Christ 
Hillebrant, P. M. Kiely, Louis Schmidt, Chas. Harmes, Jacob Schlagenhauf, John Giesler, 
E. C. Magaret, Albert Harris, Chas. Hedler, Christ Bruegger.

In the early days Dr. Koch taught Arithmetic. He lost patience with one of the boys whom he had 
asked: "What is a fraction?" "Come here I'll demonstrate it to you." He took the ruler and gave the 
boy a rap across the small of the back. "This is the dividing line." Giving him another


(115)

rap between the shoulders, "and this is the numerator." Then with a smart rap on the seat of the 
pants, "And this is the denominator." It is needless to say that the whole class remembered 
the definition.

Jack and Henry, now professors at Central Wesleyan, were room mates and studying First Latin. One 
day Henry read and translated: "Nimius somnus neque animo neque corporia prodest." "A good motto," 
said the professor. "Write it above your door." The professor was himself not an early riser, so 
Jack and Henry pasted the latin proverb above the Prof.'s door. The next day the Professor had lost 
all appreciation of the proverb and raved and snorted about the mean trick that had been played on 
him.

When Doctor Koch had charge of the Orphan Home as well as being President of the College, he and 
his good wife had to be very economical to avoid deficit. Molasses was served at the noon meal only 
and the pitchers were kept in a safe near the lower end of the dining hall. In some mysterious way 
those pitchers came out one evening at supper time at the lower end of the table. After evening 
prayers Dr. Koch announced that he wished to see all those who had had molasses for supper in the 
office. It will be interesting to know, that of the stalwarts called into the office, one is an 
enminent lawyer on the south side of the river and another is at present presiding elder in one 
western German Conference.

"Resolved that the shortness of life in the present age is caused by mankind himself," is one of the 
notable questions debated in Goethenia. Some of the ambitious orators brought their girls. 
Superintendent Charles Hertel, one of the affirmative speakers, cited tight lacing as one of the 
causes of deterioration of the race. A red headed dandy persuaded his companion to withdraw at this 
juncture. The secretary rose to a point of order and demanded that the speaker should not use such 
language. The speaker insisted that he had a right to tell the plain and unvarnished truth. Cries 
of "go on!" came from the audience. By this time the other young ladies took fright and hastily fled 
from the room. As the last hoop skirt sailed out of the door the applause was deafening. Their male 
escorts rose one after the other and cried: "Scratch my name out," and went chasing after the fleeing 
young ladies. The speaker felt somewhat sore over the results of his speech until Papa Kuhl patted 
him on the back and praised him for telling the truth. William Kessler said people lived long in 
olden times because the world was new and fresh - now it was old and smelled like old cheese - hence 
the shortness of life.


(116)

In the latter part of the school year '67-'68, Goethenia and Philomathia Societies organized a 
court of impeachment, and tried President Johnson for high crimes and misdemeanors. Johnson was 
represented by William Shakleford; Chief Justice, Christ Hendricker; Prosecutors: Butler, 
J. H. Frick; Logan, Henry Thane; Bingham, Hy. Martin; Lawyers for the defense: Curtis, Chas. 
Hertel; Evarts, Albert Fields; Stanbury, J. W. Delventhal. The War Secretary was represented by Judge 
Rudolph Hirzel, General Thomas by Prof. J. L. Kessler. The famous trial continued through nine 
sessions of the two Societies and resulted in finding the President guilty by over two-thirds 
majority. It will also be noticed that most of the participants after leaving College became 
prominent as lawyers or educators.

At one of our evening meals at which Papa Kuhl presided, he noticed that a number of students were 
dressed up preparatory to calling on their lady friends. At the close he lectured us on making good 
use of our time and closed with the following: "Eins will ich euch sagen. Ihr seid hier zum studieren 
und nicht zum carressieren. Ein Teil von euch ist noch nicht troken hinter den Ohren."
(Present day cradle robbers take heed. - Ed.)

Many are the stories told of Kadel, the cook. He had his favorites and often invited them to his 
room and regaled them with fresh sausage, cakes, etc. When the sausage began to get strong he brought 
it on the table. Many were the pranks played upon him by the hostile students. Once he chased out 
the music students, who practiced in the parlors. When Prof. Sauer appeared to ascertain the cause, 
Kadel said in great excitement: Sh! Mrs. L. is dying. She prophesied herself that she would die at 
this hour and her friends are here singing and praying for her." Prof. S. asked Dr. Hoech to go and 
investigate. He found her in good health and told her it was impossible for her to die just then. 
She didn't die but married again and raised a big family.

These reminiscences are told by a country school teacher who arrived in Warrenton, October 1867 and 
matriculated as a student. In wonder one of the leading students remarked: "Well if he's going to be 
a student I'll give it up. He looks well nigh hopeless, doesn't he?" But - if you want to grow in 
good looks and better hopes come to C. W. C. The above named student graduated in 1870, and after 
38 years' teaching is still "one of the boys."

Reminiscences of Central Wesleyan College.
Fall of '84 to Spring '86.
by Prof. J. E. Kammeyer.

The architectural equipment of C. W. C. during the period of time above indicated was as follows: 
the Main building, the Red building, the Green building, the Hospital, the Ladies' Dormitory, then 
in its first year of usefulness, and the president's mansion (?) known as the "depot." To this list 
might be added semi-officially mother Drewer's boarding house across from Polster's grocery, and 
"Pap" Roberson's phalanstery adjoining the campus on the south. None of these were pretentious, 
some of them were old even in that day, but all of them had that at-your-service atmosphere which 
made one feel at home in any of them.

These buildings and their environs, peopled with the friends of my youth, and associated with 
early efforts, hopes and ambition, constitute 
"The spot which I love full well.
'Tis not in valley nor yet in dell; 
Ever it holds me with magic spell - 
I think of thee, Alma Mater."

The faculty men in those days were Koch, Frick, Sauer, Vosholl, Kessler, Rinkel, Stroeter and Tieman. 
"Cheers for the living, tears for the dead." Drs. Koch and Kessler are still living in the lives of 
those who were privileged to be in their classes. No young man who came under the influence of either 
can get away from it. The one stood for thorough scholarship, tireless effort, and unswerving 
devotion to duty: the other for all that enthuses, inspires, and touches man's noblest purposes. 
During my twenty-two years of service in school work these two men have been to me an example and 
an inspiration.
Of the living who still labor at Central Wesleyan or elsewhere, I think with gratitude and admiration. 
They now shine in qualities which I then failed to appreciate. Their patience and forbearance with 
the impulsiveness and foibles of youth fell little short of heroism. 
The student body in those days - (!)
"What of thy crimes, Don Roderick, shall I say? 
What alms, or prayers, or penance can efface ..."

Well, I will not dwell on those things. There was after all so much good in the lads and lasses


(125)

of those days, and so little bad in any of them, that we can afford to be charitable.

There were 259 of us in '84-85, and 236 in '85-'86; and I knew them all. The names and faces of 
some have passed from my memory, but most of them I can recall with ease.

There was Baab and Dueker and Bewig and Rummons; Beare, "Mike" Schoeppel, Smith (D. W.,)Hemke and 
Bothe; "Pap" Roberson, "Dick" Gaeble, "Flicker" Waldecker and "King" Doppler; (Doppler once 
threatened to pummel me for some of my "spoutings" as College correspondent for the Banner. I could 
now remember him kindly for it if he had.) Eisenberg, Hollman, Drewing and Steininger; Bob Koeneke, 
"Judge" Klamm, Eddie Brenner, both Fiedlers and Dude; Schwiering, whose ra-pacity and ca-pacity for 
book-larnin' were phenomenal; Hoedus-stans-in-tecto-domus-Hoelscher, and Kukkuk who made a speech in 
chapel one morning in which he used a qualifying adjective that shocked the faculty.

Then, too, I recall the mighty Haegele and the puissant Schultze who defended the main entrance 
against the "town crowd" as valiently as ever Leonidas held the pass of Thermopylae; the gentle 
Floreth, staid Brinkmeyer; and jolly Demand; Shaper, the two Schoenes, Wurst, Heidel and Barth.

Ludwig, Brink, Kriege, Miller, Solter and Tonat; Jacobs, Nigg, Jacoby, Schlueter, Panwitt and 
Jaiser; theologians all.

There are others that come to my mind, and whom I would mention were sufficient space at my 
disposal. I wish to devote a little space also to the girls of those days who occupied so much 
"space" in our thoughts, hearts, hopes, fears, joys, plans, disappointments, renewed hopes, et 
cetera world without end.

Here are some of them and some sobriquets now out of print but not out of mind: Emelia Huegely, 
Lydia Hehner, Anna Morse, Millie Nickles, the Misses Schlinger, May Schultz, Mattie Tieman, Lucy 
Harper, Kate Rosenberger, Emma Eberhardt, Carcie Stoerker, Mary Pucket, Kate Lindeman, the Misses 
Koeneke, Koch and Dryden, Emma Graeber, Rosa Hart, Bessie Ney, Mary Schoeppel, Jennie Drewing, 
Martha Hummel, Emma Volrath and Josie Weber.

Most of these were re-christened for colloquial purposes and such names as the following recur to 
me: Yethmam, Schoolmarm, Dolly Varden, Cleopatra, Xanthippe, Queen Bess, Flowers, Yum Yum, 
Goldilocks, Pickles, Ike's Despair, and Miss Mittens. The knowing ones who scan these lines will 
have no trouble in making the proper association.


(126)

Probably the most notable, certainly the most stirring event that occurred during the period of 
which I write, took place in the fall of'84.

The Faculty made a rule, communicated in writing to the four literary societies by Prof. Vosholl, 
that the doors of society halls must be kept locked during the progress of meetings. This was 
intended to stop the disturbance caused by visiting from one society to another, and also to 
prevent lounging in the halls.

This communication was received with universal disapproval. It was considered "an unwarrantable 
invasion of our territory, and a subversion of our inalienable right to manage our own society 
affairs." It was pointed out moreover by such legal lights as Waldecker, Schaper and Beare, that 
it was contrary to the laws of the sovereign state of Missouri to lock the doors of any room in 
which public assemblies are held; and that such doors must always swing outward."

Mass meetings were called at which practically the entire student body was present. Resolutions 
were adopted declaring in no uncertain terms that such a rule would be resisted to the uttermost. 
Fiery speeches were made, and quotations from famous orators were paraphrased or twisted to suit 
the occasion. It was "Give me liberty, or I'll go home." "Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God," 
and plenty of such tommy-rot.

The climax was reached at chapel one morning when Prof. Vosholl tried to explain why such a rule 
had been adoted by the faculty. Following his address came the fulminations of the students. 
Perhaps half of those present seized the opportunity to make a display of themselves. After a 
long session the matter was finally compromised by "putting the rule in abeyance" for as long a 
time as the students would maintain good order in the halls and protect the walls against the 
vandalism of loafers.

Soon after this agitation all the doors leading to the society halls were changed so as to swing 
outward. I suppose they still do.

Since that time I have read something about the "psychology of mobs" that throws scientific light 
on our actions at that time and that does not reveal anything of which we can now boast.

Since then moreover I have passed through several rebellions of like character that have changed my 
point of view. My conviction now is that faculty men do not lie awake nights devising new schemes 
for disturbing the peace of students, or for tyrannizing over them. I will even say that most of 
them are well intentioned and desirous of the students' good in all matters pertaining to 
instruction and discipline.

Reminiscences of my College Days.
by A. H. Monsees.

What happened? What changes took place? What has become of the old boys? Questions like these were 
the first to flit across my mind when thinking of C. W. C. as I found it in years 1898-1901. Then 
I began to recall incidents, the recollection of which has ofttimes caused me to yearn for the 
dear old college days.

During these years C. W. C. certainly enjoyed a season undaunted by storm and civil war such as 
originate now and then in every center of learning and prosperous land. Of course, where there are 
students, there is life; where there is life, there is action; where there is action there is 
something doing, and where there is something doing, innocent mischief and pure fun may be expected.

One early October starless night of the year 1898, the balmy autumnal atmosphere being more 
conducive to the harmless pursuit of the initiative than to the arduous task of untangling long 
latin sentences, a number of the Green Building boys resolved to pay their first respects to one 
of the many rural virtues of Illinois who had just come to Missouri to be shown. The scene of the 
occasion was in the North East room on the ground floor of the Green Building. The company being 
admitted by the roommate of the newcomer, the "mouthpiece" perched himself upon the seat of a chair 
and explained the mission of the callers. The honored one being easily pursuaded that it would aid 
him in gaining popularity among the fairer students, to join the society which the company represented, 
and, undergo the required initiation, he willingly submitted himself for the ordeal. A chair was 
placed in the center of the room, the candidate was instructed to kneel before the chair, bend his 
body over into the seat and with closed eyes to await the further ceremony of the occasion. The 
orders were promptly obeyed and immediately with myrth galore the company proceeded to apply 
provided shingles to the equator of the victim's anatomy. But suddenly the report came "Prof. Rinkel 
is coming," That caused a very sudden change in the program and had it been possible to adjust the 
optics adequately to the darkness of the night some interesting scenes might have been observed upon 
the campus. However, the next


(131)

morning revealed the fact that several had met with obstacles in trying to avoid the Boarding Master. 
One of the boys had broken his spectacles and skinned his nose, another had lost his hat entirely 
and still another was able to walk only by the aid of a cane. The Boarding Master called the same 
night at the room of some of the youths and gave some very wholesome advice, which, no doubt, has 
not been forgotten as yet. Incidents like this frequently gave color to the student life during the 
last years of the old Green and Red buildings. And, perhaps, if some of the boys of those days 
should now visit C. W. C. they would think of the old times as Goldsmith wrote in the Deserted 
Village: "These were thy charms Sweet Auburn sports like, But all these charms have fled."

But time brings changes with it and thus the old buildings had to submit their occupants to a more 
inviting one. The Old Green building was at once torn down and the Red, being remodeled, became the 
resort for enjoyment and exercise. What a joy it was to the boys in 1900 when they could take up 
their abode in the commodious Eisenmayer Hall where steam heat and electric lights took the place of 
wood stoves and oil lamps. Indeed it was a delightful change and should the college boys of today 
find it their duty to clean lamp chimneys, carry out ashes and build fires on a cold morning, no 
doubt many would strap trunks and leave, offering no excuse unless it would be that such work 
"ossified their intellects." Therefore dear old C. W. C. may you continue to 
Build thee more stately halls and swell thy soul

As the swift seasons roll, 
Leave thy landmarks perish with the past,
Let each new structure grander than the last 
Spread thy great fame o'er fields more vast.
Till thou at length art known
Placing thy sons where e'er as yet they have not flown.

It is ofttimes said and sometimes read that one does not realize the pleasure of an occasion or 
season until it is past and that one does not appreciate the value of a thing till it is no 
longer possessed. Concerning my days in college, I cannot thus speak. I did not fail to lay hold 
upon the pleasures of the school days as they came and went. The many over-land excursions to 
Charette and otherwise were indeed enjoyed and the pleasure thereof was not at all tardy in 
asserting itself. The pleasant association in the dining room, class rooms, society halls, and 
campus could not help but bring immediate pleasure to one


(132)

who sought to be a friend and cherished the friendship of others. 

Still, it seems to be characteristic of boys and men to desire a friend in whom he can confide. 
This friend he wishes especially to know and is quite willing that this friend should know him. 
May it not be well to tarry here a few moments to consider this innate desire of man - this phase 
of student life? To locate real bosom friends in college shall we look on the street? nay, not there. 
Listen not to the noisy bantering in the halls nor on the campus but observe, if you please, two 
room-mates after their work is done for the day, the lights having been turned off, and, having 
retired in the stillness of the night; listen to their tales of by-gone day, their disappointments, 
their failures, their resolutions, their hopes, their ideals, their ambitions as they tell them 
one to the other. Inspirations are there wrought that are not lost as soon as caught.

Thanks to the Giver of all good for the life of the large hearted, noble minded, sincere young men 
with whom it was my privilege to room while in C. W. C.

The cheerful words: "Hello Al., hard at it, are you?" accompanied by the bright countenance of 
H. W. Allinger as he would come into the room from class and elsewhere were not insignificant rays 
of sunshine that fell across my path during the Senior Year. The gratitude that I feel towards my 
roommate of my Junior year, for his pure, matchless life and loyal friendship can be expressed in 
the lines of Halleck

"Green be the turf above thee, 
Friend of my college days! 
None knew thee but to love thee, 
None named thee but to praise." 

Through the death of Edw. C. Kettelkamp C. W. C. has lost one of her noblest and most promising 
sons and I have lost one of my dearest friends. But may this mutual loss help us to learn the 
lesson of Tennyson's "in Memoriam," that man's true happiness consists in the perfect conformity 
of his will with the divine will.

May the influence of C. W. C. never wane. May it be to many others what it has been to me. May the 
number of her sons be increased until all parts of the great U.S. shall feel the power of her virtue 
and may her students continue to be numerous and happy in their pursuit of knowledge!

Reminiscences of my Days at C. W. C.
by J. E. Kirshman

I was sitting on an imported boulder by the roadside in the heart of Illinois, 323 1-2 miles by 
foot and somewhat less overland from home. The soil had yielded in vain its sap to slake the 
thirst of the sun, while the foliage of the lonely peach tree just above my head hung in tearless 
mourning. The priceless roll, containing the crayon facsimile of Mr. Swindleborough and the sepia 
facade of Miss Dondlehaha, deserted me for a moment and lay imploringly at my feet on the parched 
grass. It was in the midst of these conditions that decision was made to subject Central Wesleyan 
College to an ordeal that would test the validity of her fair repute. Some weeks later after a 
thoro inspection by her officers admittance was gained to her halls.

For the purpose of a few moments of entertainment, only the towering peaks of subsequent experience 
claim attention here. From their caps jeweled in ceaseless radiance, will be heliographed the lesser 
heights. Perhaps, too, the gold contained in the sands of the ravines will be obscurely discerned.

True to our germanic instincts, militarism was one of the most characteristic features of life in 
this period. In spite of the ramifications of the sandhogs who root in the State subway, equipment 
was finally furnished us gratis. The day for target practice came. With sights raised to the limit, 
one by one, the balls from the economically loaded shells left the Springfields and proceeded on their


(134)

fifty-yard excursion, trailed to their destination as an accurate marksman.

At the southeast corner of the athletic field stood fortress Santiago. Against it the forces of 
General Shafter confidently moved. Everywhere the brave assailants fell, - secretly to slink away 
and make up the ranks of the reinforcements. Line after line was moved down, only to be replaced 
by the braver columns from the rear. The more valiantly the forces flamed their way toward the 
redoubt, the more cadaverous appeared the ragged mouths of the Krupp Steels, that were reputed to 
have seen service in the citadels that formerly adorned the campus. After a stubborn resistance 
the fortress finally fell, not a man being lost to either side.

Glory again attended company F of the 4th Missouri regiment when summoned to the dedication of the 
Louisiana Purchase Exposition. Returning from a month's furlough, I was again able to join the ranks. 
The company was halted between the monstrous openings on either side of the Varied Industries 
building. Thru them the icy blasts raged the live - long night, reducing the members of the company 
to so many arincdillos. Early the next day, unrationed, we fell in and after a long parade at three 
o'clock, Teddy lifted his hat to the veterans of Santiago.

The Stars?! They were never beaten. The Eagles all but defeated them, losing it on a play out.

As evidenced by the present widespread inundation, the prohibition movement was strong, oratory 
flourishing. With abstemious countenances, the dauntless hosts assembled between the gateposts in 
front of Kessler Hall to steady the club's financial panic. The services of the quartet were 
procured. In vain Sambo labored to arouse the inhabitants of ancient Troy, to the realization of the 
pending concert. High above the peals that issued from the pelted tin vessel, was repeatedly heard 
the long drawn out solicitation. "The Warrenton show am in town." The gross receipts amounted to 
sevety-five cents. The next morning the liveryman went in search of his dilapidated conveyance; while 
amidst transports of joy it became the intrepid supporters to replenish the coffers of the club.


(135)

That spring they came three times a week. The students knew instinctively what the faculty had to 
reason out. It worked well. Interrogate the alumni, who are now enjoying, in the possession of an 
alumna the fruits of those transitional hours. This is unique in the annals of C. W. C. Tho 
remarkably successful, the faculty counsel in an August sitting repealed the law, declaring it to 
be the most foolish thing that that body had ever done. So the free evenings were no more.

It happened about four weeks before the writer was graduated. Three of us from the class of '04 and 
one from that of '05, made up a congenial bunch. We went in a carriage. The ford was well known and 
safe. But before we were aware of it the tumultuous waters had swallowed the ponies and were 
contending for us. The vehicle was reversed and dragging on its side, while the occupants of the 
back seat crawled out of the only aperture in the side curtains, after which the whole immediately 
disappeared. One gained the shallow water, another remaining on the hub of the wheel gyrated with it, 
while the other two of us leaped for the shore but missed; but finally in rodent fashion gained the 
bank. All told, the injuries were slight being confined to the carriage; losses, a hat and pair 
glasses; gains brandy for the constitution's sake, a deeper insight into materialism, another day off, 
sympathy from the emporium of tenderness, and at commencement congratulations from the faculty upon 
being alive.

It will now be conceded that the student body of this period is characterized as being the profoundest 
and most philosophical in the history of C. W. C. He who remains an honest doubter on this question 
may be further convinced by a consultation with the illustrious alumnae, many of whom have joined 
themselves in holy matrimony with an alumnus.

Thruout harmony was the key-note. Minors frequently occurred, but seldom discords. At times the 
staccatos stalked a hideous prance, but always found their legato.

By the close of the year 1903-04, I was thoroughly satisfied that the institution had nobly stood 
the three years' test. As did many others of the class '04, I then bade my alma mater an affectionate 
farewell and went out to run the bases in the game of life.

MAKING TRACKS!


(137)

Making Tracks.

The members of the Class of '07 have reached the first mile stone on the long road through life. 
Have they been making tracks? Not as yet, being endowed with the power of ethereal flight, although 
without doubt so inclined, they undoubtedly have left marks of their brogans on the sands of time. 
The following is simply a brief biographical synopsis of the world stirring deeds of the Class of '07.

Gottlob Cast is making his Master's degree in German at Northwestern University. He is the star 
German student at that institution.

Louis DeVries and Emil Doernenberg are following in the footsteps of the immortal Cast. They are 
also working for their Master's degrees in German at Northwestern. It speaks well for C. W. C. that 
there are more of her graduates now attending at this University than of any other one school. Si 
are now doing post graduate work there.

Mattie Dutton has been putting forth creditable efforts toward carrying the light of modern 
civilization and culture to the benighted heathen of Truesdale, Mo. She has had charge of the 
primary department of the public school.

J. Franklin Haas always did have a propensity for making away with yellow legged roosters, so he 
joined the ranks of the proverbial chicken eaters. He has been officiating as pastor of the Methodist 
Church at Clarence, Mo.

Wm. H. Hackman, following his marked pedagogical instinct, has been busily dispensing the crystal 
waters of the Pierean spring at Maywood, Neb.

J. W. Hake has been studying engineering at Missouri State University. We see him about the Ladie's 
Dormitory even once in a while. Wonder why? If the joke wasn't so aged we'd tell you.

A. H. Hoech has had charge of the Bellflower, Mo. public school, and has of course given the Central 
Wesleyan brand of satisfaction. We all know what that means. At present he is attending Brown's 
Business College in St. Louis.


(138)

Walter Hollman has also found a little nook from which to let the dazzling light of his erudition 
beam forth. He is an assistant teacher in a business college in Los Angeles and is at the same 
time taking commercial work himself.

O. R. Martin has also joined the ranks of the pedagogues. He has been teacher of Latin and German, 
besides having charge of the Athletic Department of the Granite City, Ill. High School.

Henry Meyer, our Heine, is also making his mark in engineering at Missouri University. Heine always 
was a cheerful plugger and you're going to hear about him one of these days.

O. G. Schowengerdt was the first member of the class of '07 to launch his matrimonial canoe. He is 
now proprietor of a prosperous shoe business in El Reno, Okla.

W. F. Skaer is another of the teachers, in which the Class of '07 abound. He has been teaching the 
upper grades in the Gopher School near Nokomis, Ill.

W. H. Vosholl, the former standing joke of C. W. C., is another of the three members of '07 who are 
taking engineering at Missouri University, and he, as also have the other two, has a special attraction 
here which makes it possible for us to see his smiling face occasionally.

Lillian Bluhm has been teaching school in her home town, Smithton, Mo. She retuned to C. W. C. for the 
last term after the close of her school.

Irene Hartel has been doing efficient work as Assistant Teacher of Music at Central Wesleyan. The 
billets doux from the afore mentioned dispenser of the famous Pierean Spring water arrived with a 
periodic regularity quite astounding. - "But a year ago 'twas - And in one more 'twill be" - Thus we 
see how the old world wags.

Pearl Phillipp has been teaching music at El Reno, Okla., her home. As a side line she has been doing 
culinary and elocutionary stunts.

Herman Remmert has been working in a merchandise establishment at Louisville, Ky.

Luella Stueckeman has been teaching in the High School at Mist, Ark.

Lulu Watt has also been teaching Music at Marceline, Mo. It is said that she is becoming quite expert 
at preparing the yellow legged variety of the barnyard fowl every old way; a la francais, roti, etc., 
but especially a la Tommy Haas. Who said ouch?

A Letter from one of the Students of the Early Eighties.

Smithton, Mo., May 15, 1908. 

My dear--------

Today I chanced on a box of old photographs, and at once I fell a-dreaming of the days when we were 
girls at C. W. C.

Though many a year has gone since then, yet how readily one recalls those familiar scenes and faces. 
How green the grass, and how bright the sun, on my first day in Warrenton!

It seems but as yesterday, and I could almost fancy that I still have a part in the pleasant hurry 
and bustle of getting settled for the year's work. Some of the acquaintances of that day have proven 
steadfast friends through all the years that intervene, and life has been brighter because of them.

When one thinks of it, old Central Wesleyan was very busy in the early '8o's, shaping the lives of 
future men and women of prominence. We are proud to hear of them as winning success in various 
professions, in the pulpit in Congress and in the home.

A good many of these, who now can hold and sway their audiences with their eloquence, no doubt got 
their first training in public speaking in the Literary societies at College. Do you remember what 
thrilling sessions we used to hear in Clionia? And how we used to envy the other societies, their 
spacious halls! In fancy I yet hear those bursts of oratory and soar of eloquence. Dear old Clionia!

Shall you ever forget the night in May, '82, when a cyclone wrecked the College building?


(140)

That was indeed a time of excitement. I have never forgotten the roaring wind, the torrents of rain, 
the ruins all about, and how all of these combined to so terrify us that some of us quite lost 
control of ourselves.

I remember a number of us were huddled together in the parlor, too frightened and excited to move, 
when Professor Kessler came to the rescue. He took one girl to the piano - it may have been you - 
and said "Play" and said to the rest of us, "Sing," well, it quieted us as perhaps nothing else 
could have done.

And with what dismay we stood about the next morning, when we fully realized the full extent of the 
disaster. I remember that I wanted to go home, for I thought that it would surely end the school for 
that year. So it is something of which to be proud that so fine was the working system of the 
school, that only one half-day was lost. And how splendidly the students worked to save the property 
from further loss. You doubtless recall the "Broom Brigade," which swept water from the second and 
third floors by day and by night; for you know it rained for days after the storm.

I wonder where all the singers are that sang in "Queen Esther." I have occasionally met "Mordacai" 
and "Human," and one or two others but for the most part: I have lost all trace of them. It has been 
my privilege to hear a good many concerts, but it still seems to me that "Queen Esther," as it was 
sung in June, '83, was verv fine indeed.

O, the memories of commencement time, when one belonged to the graduating class! The world was all 
rose color, and life was music and flowers and happiness; and the future was just waiting for great 
achievments. What if the rose color has sometimes faded. Life is made up of sunshine and shadow, 
of fair skies and tempests; and these are for our good.

As I recall, one by one, the faces of all the old school-mates and teachers, I realize that some have 
"Crossed the Bar." These pleasant recollections are tinged with sadness; and yet, dear friend, it 
has been a delightful experience in fancy to renew the friendships of former days. May the 
remembrance of them ever be green in our hearts. 

Sincerely your friend,

FANNY RINGEN.

Dr. Henderson's Words.

The Devils Philosophy is "never spend yourself, always spare yourself."

The secret of Christ's joy was not in chanting rapturous hymns; not in uttering fervent prayers 
to heaven; not in ornate speech and winsome words; but in self denying-service.

Christ was not great because he stooped low; He stooped low because he was great.

Christianity is not day dreaming; it is strenuous struggle for spiritual supremacy; it is not sweet 
sentiments served up in dainty booklets; it is moral heroism under fire.

Men of Central Wesleyan, The right sort of color rush is offered you in the Psalm 60:4 - "Thou hast 
given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth."

The lordship of Jesus Christ over the lives of men makes it the greatest of sins for men not to 
serve him.

Whatever, Whenever, Wherever!

DR. THEODORE HENDERSON

Revival.

Revivals require no justifications; emotional and revivalistic revivals have no justification; 
energizing revivals carry their justification with them. The purpose of this article is to recite 
some of the salient facts in connection with a revival of the latter kind experienced at Central 
Wesleyan during the early part of 1908.

On December 28, 1907, the midwinter revival meetings at the College Church had been inaugurated. 
After two weeks of effective service led by the pastor and members of the faculty, the work was 
taken in charge by Dr. Theodore S. Henderson, general field superintendent of the General Conference 
Commission on Agressive Evangelism. Dr. Henderson's work has brought him in close touch with some 
of the largest Colleges and Universities in the United States. This fact explains the singular 
address with which he presented the gospel message both to individual students and to student 
audiences. In a further respect Dr. Henderson seemed peculiarly fitted to our situation: the Germans 
among us were as completely won by his captivating personality as the English-speaking, and 
consequently there was no difficulty experienced in using the English language in the majority of the 
meetings. Dr. Henderson was with us from the eleventh to the seventeenth of January.

The method of work pursued by Dr. Henderson was Scriptural and eminently tactful. All the Christian 
forces at hand were immediately put to work. A free use of personal influence was made. 
Dr. Henderson's own time and effort were spent largely in private conference with students. The 
College office was selected as the place most convenient for these interviews, and it was here that 
from 150 to 200 students divested of all sham by frank and searching, yet not impertinent questions, 
and encouraged by kindly advice and admonition, broadened their views of things and took a 
determined stand for Christian manhood and womanhood. It is those personal interviews which will 
remain as mile stones in the life-course of more than a few of those who were students of C. W. C. 
during 1907-08.

Besides the intensely evangelistic sermons delivered at the College Church, which were in every case 
followed by Spirit-attended altar service, four addresses at Chapel exercises, and numerous others 
during meal hour, at special students' meetings, to the ladies, and to the theological students were 
delivered by Dr. Henderson. His


(143)

shorter talks were always in a spicy, epigrammatic style, which held the attention of all and fixed 
the thoughts expressed fast in the memory. In the choice of subject-matter for the addresses the 
same tact was evinced as in every other phase of the work. Every bit of advice to new converts was 
given at that time and that place calculated to give to it peculiar weight and to assure for it 
ready acceptance. The last evening's meeting, which was a fitting climax of a series of services in 
which so many had accepted Jesus Christ as the solution of the question of life, and the students' 
meeting in which "Life-work" was considered should be emphasized. The former made manifest the joy 
and gladness resulting from the conviction of sonship to God, and the other was a practical 
expression of this joy and gladness in the determination to follow the Master, whatever, wherever, 
and whenever pleases him.

A partial appreciation of Dr. Henderson's effective work among us was rendered when, on the morning 
of his departure, the entire student body accompanied him to the station and bade him farewell - We 
desire here to record, in permanent form, the gratitude of everyone connected with C. W. C., first 
indeed to Dr. Henderson for the spiritual uplift he has given to our school, but ultimately, as we 
are sure he would have it, to the Giver of all good things.

Bidding Dr. Henderson Adieu


(145)

The Home Folks.

No apology is needed as an introduction to a writing in praise of those whose hearts have so many 
times in the past turned with fond concern toward C. W. C. Rather would we need to apologize had 
we forgotten them - Our best attempt to show them honor cannot be too great and anything less would 
be too small. Men are too prone to bestow eulogies upon the conspicuous and give never a thought to 
the humbler task more nobly done. But high purpose exalts the lowliest toil.

While Central Wesleyan students have spent a busy year each pursuing his chosen way, these to win 
literary honors, those to lead the athletic fray, others to chase the weary hours from one social 
function to the next, some to drink deep from the unfettered fountains of thought, many to have 
sought much and found little, they all have done or left undone enough to call forth this modest 
volume. But could we gather up in similar form the story the home folks could tell of how the 
students got their opportunities, what volumes that would fill.

That story began years ago perhaps. Some mother leaned down over a cradle freighted with her future's 
hopes and prayed, "This child is thine, Oh Lord, help us to do well by him." Some father watched his 
growing son and said, "I'll give him a better chance than ever I had, God help me to give him the 
best." And then they poured out their lives in answer to their prayers. Wouldn't that fill a book?

Somewhere, for years perhaps, the home folks got up just a little earlier in the morning and worked 
just a little later at night because "the children must go to college." Somewhere mothers and sisters, 
modern Marys and Marthas, did the common drudgery at home doing in love's sweet sacrifice the things 
that other hands were wont to do. Somewhere fathers and brothers, the self appointed guardians of the 
opportunities of those they love, have paid the price of another's gain. But love lightens any burden 
and the way of sacrifice is sublime. Our home folk's noble purpose in the hope they had has made 
service a privilege to them and they have taught us better than any other teachers that they have most 
truly lived who have most truly served.

Man, a Toast.

by Erna I. Sell.

The true characterization of any person can only be made from two points of view - first, that of 
the subject himself; second, that of the other fellow. So to characterize man we must discover not 
only his opinion of himself, but also woman's opinion of him. Then by a judicious weighing, sifting 
and mixing of materials, viz., these opinions, we obtain an accurate idea of the real characteristics 
of the subject under investigation.

In his own eyes man is might, achievement, nobility personified. His powerful arm protects himself 
and those dependent upon him from the ravages of wild animals; his active intellect wrests the 
resources from nature, his inventive genius adapts and utilizes them for the benefit of humanity; 
his strong sense of justice provides a system of government which restrains the strong and protects 
the weak; his incessant toil provides necessaries and luxuries for his wife and children. Who does 
everything great and good in the world? Man. Who should be boss of the universe? Man. What is man? 
He is IT.

In the eyes of woman, man is a mere admirable nuisance to be wheedled, cajoled and fed into good 
humor, a being who condescends to give her that for which she coaxes and flatters - if he happens 
to feel like it, but who in the glory and pride of his autocracy refuses what she demands as a 
right. His powerful arm tries to confine her to the home to cook, bake, scrub, sew and drudge. His 
active intellect tries to shut in her face the door of opportunities to interests outside of the 
home, which would give her a broader and more wholesome view of life and humanity. His inventive 
genius cannot brok the thought that woman should be anything but an humble imitator. How dare she 
be original in her thoughts, her ideals and her activities! His sense of fitness demands a regime in 
which he is the governor and she the governed, not one in which she is his equal, his comrade. Who 
ridicules her for the tearful subterfuges, the smiling artifices,the petty deceptions, her circuitous 
methods for gaining her ends? Who forces her to make use of them? Who has kept her in durance vile 
since time immemorial? Who is compelling woman to extremes in her attempt to emancipate herself and 
to make herself so far as lies within her, so far as is in accordance with her nature, man's compeer? 
Who hinders her development into the ideal woman, the strong, fear-


(147)

less, intelligent helpmeet, who inspires in man not only the holiest and noblest of affections, but 
in whom he will find the ideal friend, peerless comrade who understands and trusts him, upon whom 
he can rely, confident of good advice when perplexed, tender sympathy and cheer when discouraged by 
failure, and mutual rejoicing when encouraged by success? Who is guilty of all these crimes and 
misdemeanors? The inevitable man.

But something must be wrong somewhere. Man says he is the cause of all the great and good things in 
the world; woman, that he is the cause of all the evil in the world. Both are right and both are 
wrong. There is however, a reason for this radical difference of opinions, and by impartial 
investigation, we may clear up this mutual misapprehension and obtain a true delineation of the 
true character of man. The flaw lies in the education of both man and woman. They have been reared 
to look from different viewpoints, their standards are dissimilar. George Meredith says in one of 
his novels: They are foreigners when they meet. One may say they are trained to be hostile. Some of 
them fall in love and strike a truce and still they are foreigners. They have not the same standard 
of honor.,' But blessings on the American system of coeducation! In time man and woman will come to 
a mutual understanding and will forgive and forget their former disagreeable, unacceptable opinions 
of each other.

Some time women will learn that man is better than he appears to be, that underneath his crusty 
exterior he is true to the heart's core, that tho', so to speak, he is the baser element, yet he 
supplies the even tenor of the way. There are times when man and man only fills the bill. In college 
he is the hero of the gridiron, the diamond and the track. He lifts the heavy beams and sometimes 
rides the pony. It is his scrapping instinct which produces class rivalry. It is his loyalty to and 
boasting pride in his college which brings about intercollegiate contests in athletics, oratory and 
debate. It is his inspiring personality which instigates and lends zest to many of the pranks and 
escapades for which the college woman is brought to task. He lures her to the midnight stroll and 
helps her through the window when the door is locked. He is her protector on the way to and from 
Sunday evening services and to concerts etc., in the hall. He brings her candy and flowers and 
carries her suit case.

In the activities of the world, man is a fighter. To gain subsistence, to satisfy his desires - 
physical, mental and spiritual, he struggles with nature, his fellowmen, himself and God. In the 
home man cares and provides for his family, he shelters them as much as possible from the 
turbulent, the harsh, the rough and seamy side of life, and tho' he demands much love and patience 
and toil in return, the true man is worth it. "A hundred men can make an encampment, but it takes 
a woman to make a home," yet "A man's a man for a' that and a' that."

So here's to man who is both wise and otherwise, who is the embodiment of courage, firmness of 
purpose, fine sense of honor, manliness and chivalry, who does his best according to the light given 
him by his Creator. Here's to him who gives to woman his heart, to the world his brain, and to God 
his unswerving fealty.

The Ballad of Jennie McNeil Up-to-date.
Apropos of Philo Special. 
Set to Rocking-Horse Rhyme.     
Gait: Combination between gallop and fox-trot.

If Jenny McNeil were living to-day,
On a black steed would she have sped away,
With the red-coat troops in hot pursuit,
A bangin' at her with rifles to boot?
Would she for love of a colonel old,
Brave darkness, and spooks, and dangers untold?
Would she through briars and bushes ride?
Her life to providence confide?
And would she like another Paul Revime,
Have gone a-clatt'ring down the halls of time?
(His name was - vere, it was not - vime,
But we had to hold the tott'ring rhyme).
If Jenny McNeil were living to-day,
Would she have ridden this dangerous way?
Not on your life, oh no, nay, nay,
If Jenny McNeil were living today,
She would have taken an easier way.
If the troopers had come and demanded to eat,
With a pleasant smile and hurrying feet,
She would start the 'lectric cooking range,
And broil and stew French dishes strange;
While the gas-flame fried the Irish potater;
And the coffee boiled in the percolator.
When the coffee is served and the meal is done,
To the soldiers then all unbeknown,
Into each steaming, savorous cup,
A headache - tablet would she drop.
Then jest and threats are heard no more,
Alone the deep - resounding snore,
Of forty British troopers brave,
Whom Jenny those headache - powders gave.
How simple! Yet the deed is done;
Our heroine now proceeds to the phone,
She leisurely calls the old Colonel,
And does of the threatened danger him tell.
Refrain: The Colonel old,
So dashing and bold,
To Jenny heart-felt thanks expresses,
His valet him then quickly dresses,
And he's off for the West in his automobile,
Thanks to the daring of Jenny McNeil.

Ode to Lover's Lane.

How dear the remembrance of old college heydays,
When Annual 'Aught Eight presents them to view.
The campus, the oak trees, the deep-trodden pathways
And every loved spot that the students well knew;
The wide Open Parlors and the co-eds that smiled there,
And the old reading room where to speak was profane,
The worn wooden bridge with its memories so fair,
And e'en the sweet charms of the lone lovers' lane.

The dear lovers' lane that we hailed as a Mecca,
For Cupid and silence reigned blissfully there.
No place for dry text books and mind racking studies
When gallants read nature with ladies so fair.
Where sidewalks so narrow demanded a union
Seen only by old Mister Moon on the wane;
Say, life seemed one blessed and happy communion
When the shadows long lingered in lone lovers' lane.

To the rough iron railway this lane slowly winds 
To which Central Wesleyan's lovers still stray. 
And many a couple that wedlock now binds 
Found this the sure highway of loves endless day. 
And when far removed from our loved alma mater 
We fellows shall struggle mid pleasure and pain 
Our fancy will revert to days that were brighter, 
We'll sigh for fair co-eds and lone Lovers' Lane.

P. H. D.

A Prep.

A SCENE FROM THE LATEST COMEDY, As You GET IT. 
cf. Shakespear's "As You Like It."

Junior; How now sir, what look you so merrily?

Fresh; A Prep, a Prep! I met a Prep in the library, a nifty Prep, a miserable world! As I do live 
by stand-by, I met a Prep; who sat him down and warmed him by the radiator, and joked with the girls 
in good terms, in good set terms, and yet a nifty Prep. "Good morrow, Prep," quoth I. "23 sir," quoth 
he, "call me not Prep before my lady friends." And then he drew an Ingersoll from his pocket, and, 
looking at it with lack-lustre eye, says very niftily "it is eleven o'clock, thus we may see how 
time flies, 'Tis but an hour ago since 'twas chapel, and in one hour more 'twill be dinner; and so 
from hour to hour we study and study, and then from term to term we flunk and flunk; and thereby 
hangs a tale." When I did hear the simple Prep thus moral on the time, my lungs began to screech 
like Schobes fiddle, that Preps should be so batty. And I did laugh sans side ache an hour by his 
Ingersoll. O Prep! A crazy Prep! A lemon's thy only wear.

Junior: What Prep is this?

Fresh: One that has been a sport and says, if girls but have powder, they have the gift to use it; 
and in his brain which is as dry as open parlors after a concert, he hath strange places cramm'd with 
foolishness, the which he vents in mangled forms. O that I were a Prep! I am ambitious to be a sport.

Non Paratu
by C. J. Lotz

"Non paratus" this you'll say 
When you go to class today. 
"Non paratus" that is all, 
When your name your teachers call. 
"Non paratus" in your book 
You will work it with a hook. 
"Non paratus" so you may 
Get it 'ere examining day. 
"Non paratus" not prepared 
This you said and little cared. 
"Non paratus," this you'll say 
On examination day. 
"Non paratus" means you'll flunk 
And you'll say all kinds of junk. 
"Non paratus" means you'll quit 
'Cause you are'nt worth a bit. 
"Non paratus" out of school 
Where you showed yourself a fool.
Non paratus" what is next? 
This you'll make your lifelong text. 
"Non paratus" same old word 
You have oft repeated heard. 
"Non paratus," you won't know 
What it means till old you grow.
Non paratus" you will whine 
When you sit beneath your pine. 
"Non paratus" now you're old 
Not prepared for hunger, cold. 
"Non paratus" at your death 
It will be your latest breath. 
"Non paratus" you will say 
When you're called on Judgement Day. 
"Non paratus," God will say, 
Was your theme your livelong day. 
"Not prepared for Heaven's fame 
Fit for naught but fire and flame."

O, Look Who's Here.

O look who is here!
A wee baby dear!
So chubby and small,
As sister's big doll 

Three toothies so white,
Just aching to bite.
His akward big feet
All else do they beat.

His dress is of yellow, 
The dear little fellow, 
And black is the trimmin,' 
The style of old women.

He's never seen silk, 
No! nothing but milk, 
His tears he does shed, 
Down the back of his head.

We hope he will grow, 
For we're worried you know. 
Perhaps he can learn, 
By some happy turn. 
That its wise to be good 
ho' he wouldn't if he could!

The Bells.
by Henry Janssen, '09

Hear the rattle of the Bells, - 
Little Bells! 
What a day of laboring their loud alarm fortells;
How they rattle, prattle, rattle,
In the air of early morn! 
While the youth who loves to slumber 
Feels a thousand ills encumber,
Crawling out, with look forlorn,
Thinks of work, work, work,
And the many pains that lurk 
In his pathway, as he rises with the bells.

Hear the Recitation Bells, - 
Sounding Bells! 
What a world of study their loud clamoring
foretells!
How they call us on to labor 
With a tone that ever swells; 
And the busy ones, returning 
To their books, in quest of learning, 
Do their tasks, as duty tells; 
With a careful thought that brings 
Precious views of higher things, 
And the monotone of drudgery expels!

Then the joyful dinner Bells,
Welcome Bells! 
What a time of happiness their cheerful call
foretells!
How they spring, swing, ring, 
They're as happy as a king, 
Each one lays aside his labour. 
Going with his hungry neighbour
To the hall!
In that little creaking tower 
They announce the dinner hour, 
And we all respond with pleasure to the ringing of the Bells!

O ye blessed Chapel Bells, - 
Golden Bells! 
What a world of bessing your sweet harmony
foretells.
On the Sabbath morning bright 
How you fill our soul with light, 
As your blessed tones are rolling, 
Ever sweet, though often tolling, 
In your ringing, ringing, ringing, 
We can hear the spirits singing, 
Calling man to higher life, where'er he dwells. 
Blessed Bells!


(154)

That's Who.

Eyes black as midnight, teeth white as snow, 
Smiles sweet as sunshine, lovely as a rose, 
Jolly, joking, jubilant, everywhere she goes; 
Who this girl is I'm sure you want to know.
Don't beg. That's Peg.

Freckles, fun and faultlessness mixed with subtile care, 
Prim politeness personified, wooing, wily, wise, 
Simply makes you love her, does it with her eyes; 
Flaunts a dash of gay repartee, a maze of golden hair.
Oh, yes. E. S.

Here, you foolish dreamer, quit telling on the girls, 
You havn't any business saying what you think, 
And couldn't do them justice with all your fluent ink. 
Praises match their practices as pebbles mate with pearle.
That's it. I've quit.

Any student who will

-- continually enter their fellow-student's rooms in their absence and turn everything topsy-turvy;
-- tear magazines, or soil books from the college library;
-- deposit tobacco juice behind radiotrs;
-- take advantage of their professor's over-sight;
-- bum classes just for fun;
-- or in any way make it their business to meddle in their neighbor's business is

A FOOL

Behold, what a big nuisance a small man can be!

Psalm of Life.
A parody dedicated to the bachelor professors.

Tell me not in mournful numbers 
Wives are but a hopeless dream, 
For the heart is dead that slumbers 
And things are not what they seem.

Man is patient, man is earnest, 
For a wife to bless his soul. 
When he finds her she consenteth, 
Gives her heart so pure and whole.

Only enjoyment and not sorrow 
Is their destined end and way 
And to live that each tomorrow 
Finds them happier than today.

Life is short and time is fleeting, 
And their hearts are fond and true 
Still as one the other beating. 
Thus her love will be for you.

In the world's broad field of battle 
Midst the jealousy and strife,
Some will comment, some will prattle, 
Never mind it, get a wife.

Trust in fortune, always pleasant, 
While you earn your daily bread. 
Love - love, in the living present 
Find a wife that you may wed.

Lives of others will remind you 
How to live and love and dine, 
Ne'er forgetting what to do 
To please this dear wife of thine.

So give warning one to the other, 
Sailing down life's solemn main. 
A forlorn and bachelor brother      
Seeing, may take heart again.

Get to loving and to wooing, 
Get to fishing with your bait, 
Still endeavoring, still pursuing, 
Get a wife in nineteen eight.
 - E. C. W.

Sophomore's Development

When I was a child, 
I was tender and mild, 
As children I knew and I did. 
But when manhood I gained, 
Men's knowledge attained, 
Of childish things I was rid.

When as Freshman I stood, 
I did as should. 
(That is as well as I could.) 
But Freshie became 
A Sophomore, by name, 
I threw off my old Freshman hood.
In Freshman's dark night 
T'was a mad color-fight 
That soothed my bleak passions and woes
But in Sophomore's broad day, 
I've put it away,
I strive for the learned man's rose
 - C. J. LOTZ,'10, 
[He gets the bouquet. - Ed.]

C. W. C. 
by C. J. L. '10

There is a spot in old Missouri 
That is full of light for me 
And my heart is filled with rapture 
When in thought that spot I see.

There among the shady maples 
And the rigid oaks and pines 
Stands a structure strong and strudy
Where the climbing ivy twines.

Tis the homestead of the student, 
And the learned mind's abode, 
'Tis the ladder of the climber, 
And the Seeker's shining road.

From it's halls of busy bustling 
From it's rooms of quiet search 
Come the men of law and clergy 
Men of worth who wield the birch

Famous men, - illustrious women 
Are the sons and daughters proud 
Of their loving Alma Mater, 
And they speak her praise aloud.

Dear old Central Wesleyan College 
Make a worthy son of me. 
Help me be what thou would'st make me, 
And what men expect of thee.

Reversing a Frolic.

The Sophies dressed a little man 
In Freshman black and gold; 
They took a rope, and off they ran 
To taunt their rivals bold.

They climbed the college balcony, 
And from its lofty height 
They hanged the Freshman effigy,
And yelled with all their might.

The Freshman now were filled with ire, 
With wrath from sole to crown; 
Their stalwart forms reached ever higher, 
To pull their mascot down.

But while the Sophs were taunting bold, 
One Freshie, brave and tall, 
Pulled down the man with mighty hold, 
And hid him in the hall.

With anger now the Sophs were filled, 
And fought with might and main; 
The hosts of Freshmen, brave and skilled, 
To get him back again.

Their efforts, tho, were all in vain, 
And are yet to this day; 
The Freshmen still their man do claim, 
And will for aye and aye.

So Sophies, dear, next time you would
A joke on Freshmen book, 
Just say again: "if we but could! 
They're wiser than they look."

What would Central Wesleyan Business College be if:

"Fats" would forget to take his pipe to school. 
Hehman could wake Gaebe on Sunday morning. 
Alexander could talk German. 
Freivogel wouldn't eat so much sauer kraut. 
Armstrong were not so small. 
Meyers could drown a dog. 
"Artie" could see better through his glasses. 
Miss Schaake could pay all bills promptly. 
Elmer could stop a ball. 
Sutter could eat more candy. 
Heidtman would not make himself so easily acquainted.
Talley could only secure a smokeless pipe. 
Steffen could change the color of his hair. 
Miss Nothdurft was not from Cape Girardeau Co.

Prof, in Philosophy: Plato held that man reaches the highest good not by isolation but by 
socialization.
Kettel: I beg to differ with Mr. Plato on this point. The highest good man be attained only through 
co-education.

Time, tide and Goethenia roll-call wait for no man." Wipp.

Prof, in Economics: Is paper money classed as bad money?
Fair co-ed: No, I think it makes good money. 
Prof. Yes, it is classed as bad money.
Co-ed: Why? because it tears easily?

Prof, in chemistry: What are the uses of nitro-glycerine?
Schneider: It is sometimes used for chapped hands.

Prof.: What is that animal called that carries an ink bottle about with it? 
Bright student: An editor.

Prof. Frick calling up reminiscences in geology: "Why in those days turtles were mighty important 
personages on this old earth of ours. A good sized one was something like 18 or 20 feet across. 
They used to have railings built about them and made a mighty profitable business of ferrying 
other creatures across the prehistoric rivers."

Toodles: "Professor, do you think I could get a position in the Government Coast Survey?"
Prof. Frick: "Yes, I think they need a cook."

Our Stand-by

And my stand-by too by gum!


(163)

Saws and Hammers.

IN THE LATIN CLASS.

First Student - "What did you have in the Latin class today?"
Second Student - "We had the congregation of the verbs and dimension of a noun." 

Text - Equus consulem fundit. 
Student translating - "The horse spilled the consul."

Soph. - Do you folks get your latin well?" 
Freshie - Yes we first stumble through it and then the Prof, runs through it with us."

'Non capto cibo' was lately translated "no food having been captured" which in case of frog legs
 would not have been inappropriate but usually it sounds better to say "no food having been eaten."

If old Virgil but knew
What a burden we bear, 
He'd surely feel sorry
For us in our care. 
Feel sorry, I guess so,
But this I'll vouch for 
Had he known we'd read it 
He'd've written still more. 
Virgil student.

Student translates "Interea magnum Sol cir-cumvolvitur annum" thus - "Meanwhile the old soul had 
traversed the course of a whole year."

Prof. "What person is this verb?" 
Student. "Impersonal person."

Student reading is perplexed becaused he does not know his lesson. "I can't bring that out in 
English, Professor."
Suspecting Professor "Bring it out in German then."

Student reading comes upon a difficult word - 
"What is that word, Professor." 
Professor "That is an old enemy." 
Student going on - "...so the old enemy was..."

A certain young man whose fair promises and plentiful excuses had kept him from under the bane of 
the Prof.'s displeasure just about to the danger line, finding dire necessity had made action 
imperative broke a long silence with a translation which began - - "At last - - -" The astonished 
professor looked up and smiled, "Yes, thank goodness."

A PART OF C. W. C. - MO. M. A. GAME. 
The umpire said "play ball," 
Debby heeded the call. 
He sent up three 
As nice as could be - 
The batter was out, that's all.
ANOTHER PART. 
The pitcher sent over an out 
Shorty soaked it a clout, 
A two base hit 
He made of it, 
And all the rooters did shout.
END.
Now that the game was o'er 
I asked a man for the score 
12 to 2 in favor of you, 
He said although he was sore, 
I hope you don't want any more.

Roll call in chapel: "Section one." 
Monitor: "One, eight." 
Morsey: "Did he get sick?"

Jinks: I was not stating this in any philosophical way but simply from common sense ground.

LOGIC.

Metaphysics comes after physics, 
Then the metaphysician comes after the physician.
The undertaker comes after the physician. 
Therefore the metaphysician is an undertaker.

Talk about the ancient Greeks not having modern ideas, when a sentence in Greek I was translated: 
"And Cyrus gave to this one a horse and a golden necktie."

Professor - "How were the minor planets named?"
A Senior. - "They were named after female goddesses.

Junior telling of the discovery of one of Jupiter's moons - "They observed the observation"

Professor. - "Paul has your mamma any winding-blades at home?"
Paul. - "I don't know Professor." 
Prof. - "You better find out and bring them to class after this so you can wind up your legs and 
maybe you can find room enough on one bench then."

It is the mechanical excellence of a typewriter

Advertised statements making general claims
