COLORS: Crimson and White MOTTO: "I am Tempus agi res." YELL: Rah! Rah! Rah! Boom!! Hi rox! Ko rox! Boom! Warump, go jump, get a pump, And a ladel and a bottle And you better get a gun, It's loo late to try to waddle- So you better try to run - And let her go, all go, now go! An' a ricky chicky - Just wait! Aught eight! Juniors! Boom!!! (24) "I AM TEMPUS AGI RES." This is the age of action. Not that the great heaving, rolling world speeds round its endless course at any swifter pace, but time remorseless, unhasting, yet unresting, holds his unerring way across a pathless eternity. From his hand he shuffles out the years in cold precision to let them fall fluttering downward into oblivion, that great sea of forgetfulness, where years that once were are as if they had not been. And such would they always have been had Father Time never had any children. But men are his children, creatures subject to his beck and call, creatures whose lives are as pulse beats of his heart and whose deeds are as flashes of his thoughts. And he gives his children golen days for playthings and then watches with jealous care how they play the years away. He saves up the stories of the days and what men have done with them, and tells them to his childrens' children. And so he has kept all, since he gave his first children their first playthings until the stories filled the unnumbered volumes of the ages, volumes one of which a man in a lifetime could not read. For when Father Time breaths a life into existence, almost before it begins to learn, he breathes it out and each child must learn anew the things that are ever so old. But Father Time is a great teacher, and his stories are always growing better, so that his children of today are the wisest he has ever had. To-day men know and do more in a day than they knew or did in an age at the beginning, for our fathers learned from their fathers and each age has been the teacher of the next. The great teachings of yesterday are the proverbs of today, and old Father Time will whisper into the ears of his children of tomorrow the great truths gleaned from to-day's teeming fields of action. Science, art, invention, literature, genius, Christianity, all the harbingers of the millenial dawn will come, as they have in the past, come to lay their trophies at his feet, and time will give them for a blessing to the future sons of men. The present age must bring more trophies than any that has gone before. The examples of the past and the call of the future demand this. The examples are a challenge, the call is imperious, and our reply must be the one great answer of the ages; this age must be glorified in a response so transcendentally great asto start echoes trembling at the very verge of space, and the infinitely re-echoing reverberations must swell into one grand consummation of sound, until the entire universe breathes out a thunder peal of recognition for the age of ages. It will be so. The seal of each age is set upon it by its great men, and no age is greater than its most illustrious mortals. This age is to be glorified. C. W. C. is rearing the men who are to delight the world. The class of 1908 is shedding forecasts of its greatness. Great Class of '08. When the honorable class of 1907 shall have gone the way of those that have been, and old Father Time has given us the gifts he has in store for us, our greatness shall be like as the shining of the sun, immeasurable, unending, unsurpassed, and yet not unsurpassed for the gift of our greatness we must give to the class of 1909. But wisdom has grown so great, And each man must begin so small, The world had a long while to wait If each one were to learn it all. (25) '09 (26) [photo caption] BACK ROW - H. SCHNEIDER, P.

The class of 1909 began this year with the avowed purpose of making itself influential in all the organizations of C. W. C. This purpose has been realized. We have representatives in the four literary societies; in the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A.; in the oratorical association; in the. athletic association; in the domestic department; on the Warrenton Banner staff; and also among the assistant teachers. The attitude we maintain with respect to the burning questions of the days is shown in our creed which follows. WE BELIEVE THAT: Sophomore means not only foolish wise, but also wisely foolish. There is a "wise foolishness" which is better than all senior dignity and junior conceit. This "foolishness" we lay claim to. Our school is the school of the west and that it has a great future before it. Patriotism is a noble trait of character, but that school spirit is just as worthy. Henceforth the Freshies should take the initiative in Freshmen-Sophomore class fights, if these must continue to occur. Only one class in all the history of C. W. C. has come anywhere near equaling us, and that was the Freshman class of '05-'06. More stringent laws prohibiting child labor should be passed, and, in particular, that Freshmen should not be permitted to engage in class fights. Old horses are safer, if not quite so fresh as the newer stock of "ponies." Rivalry among classes should find expression in other ways than those barbarous "flag rushes." Exams are a menace to the health and happiness of students. (29) Freshies (30) [Picture] (31) Freshman Class. OFFICERS: GEORGE NOTHDURFT, President. CHAS. LOTZ, Vice-President.

(32) THE FRESHMEN CLASS HISTORY. In the fall of 1906 one of the greatest events Warrenton has ever seen took place. That was the organization of the class of 1910. The class is one which has been exceedingly successful from its birth until the present time. We are also proud of being the largest Freshmen class ever known to exist in C. W. C. On Oct. 6, 1906, our class was challenged by the class of 1909 for a game of base ball. We cheerfully accepted the challenge and defeated the Sophomores by an overwhelming defeat of 39 to 9. Our victory over the Sophomores greatly inspired us, and we well knew that many more victories would be added to our list. Jan. 19, we challenged the Sophomores for a game of basket ball. Fearing that they would meet with a fate similar to the one of base ball, they declined to accept. A few weeks afterwards we again challenged them for a game of basket ball, but they would not accept. The night of Feb. 15, was a sleepless one for the Sophomores. Until nearly midnight they planned and studied how to prevent us from attacking their flag, which they intended to raise soon after mid-night. At three-thirty one of our Freshmen was awakened by the creeping Sophomores. Soon all the Freshmen were aroused from their peaceful slumber, and at four o'clock we entered upon the severest color rush C. W. C. ever witnessed. However before eight o'clock the Sophomores' flag was changed into rags, which we now possess. Although our class was small in the beginning of the year, it now consists of twenty-one members. The members are all brave and energetic and will uphold their motto, "Volens et Potens." FRESHMAN CLASS. Mr. Ott: "Professor, did they name the island of Sardinia after the Sardines?" Prof.: No, I think Sardines were named after Sardinia. John Kienle, the typical southern heart-smasher has a smile for all ladies not in the decline of life. Conceal your age and get one. It's a great comfort to be alone, said Mr. Schoeppel, especially when your sweet-heart is with you. Carl Fritz, born somewhere in Germany, takes a special delight in playing Black-man with the orphan children. Mr. Maag is an ideal roommate, he says, "Vell, fon iss fon, but I don't vant you to ride my Richard on a rail." Homer Gruner in a poetical mood: "Uneeda-Biscuit crackers Is what I like to eat But, Uneed- Some Notie- smackers I confess, 'are very sweet.'" Prof.: (In German class) "Woher Kommt die Wolle?" Fraulein Labhardt: "Die Wolle kommt von den Baumen." Alvin Bohm: (at the supper table) Do you think I need a shave? Miss G.: Why don't you look in a mirror? Bohm: Well a-a-are there any barbers in this part of the country? Miss G.: Such places do not concern me. (33) Wonder why Chas. Lotz stands around in the halls after first period in the morning? For information see Miss H. Lawrence Hartel: (on the evening of the lonesome Dormitory party nullie pueri) "Are you ladies going to have a stag party, and only ladies invited?" We are sorry to inform you that Miss Cora Sandmeyer will not stay with us until 1910. How we do wish Little Phil were a Freshman. Victor Frick: (the night after the execution of a criminal which he witnessed) Mamma, I can't go to sleep, I see all kinds of hanging things. Mrs. F.: Well go and sleep with your papa. One of our wisest members is Herman Laeger. He is already planning for his future welfare and hopes some day to become the President's assistant. That's why he's trying to get on the good side of Miss Marie. Anybody wishing a shave, haircut, or shoe-shine call on Edward Laeger. He is always ready to accomodate you, and guarantees a good job. Mr. Nothdurft: (at the supper table) "Will you have some stand-by?" Miss L. N.: "No, thanks, you are my stand-by." We cannot all be orators like Webster and Douglass, still we can boast of the fact that one of our members fairly outshines either of these - Martin Bierbaum. Prof. Nagel in quest of music students: Mr. Robertus don't you think you ought to take vocal this year? Mr. R.: I hardly think so Professor, I am now director of the Evangelical choir. Fried chicken will cease to be a delicacy at the Orphan Home next summer when Laurent Wipperman gets his incubator. Frank Neumeyer has become an expert waiter while at C. W. C. In future years his wife will reap the benefits of these early attempts at saving. Benj. Gaebe advises all nervously broken down people to visit the Famous Highlands for their health. See him for particulars. Mr. Hessell headed toward town. Student: Where are you bound for, Olin? Olin: Drug Store, I have been very nervous to-day. (Wonder what Olin buys for his nerves.)

Though we are usually considered last, we are by no means least. All things begin small, as the acorn develops into an oak, so a "Prep." may some day evolve into a "dignified Senior." The possibility of our future success at C. W. C. is "great." We have representatives in every department, Theological, Musical, Art, etc. Even though the fair ones of our class cannot prepare themselves for the ministry, they can at least study for "a Minister," and this seems to be the ambition of several." As our class is so large, it would require too much time and space to elaborate on the aspirations and capabilities of each individual member. So we desist, but in parting we would say, as "Forward" is our motto, it is "Forward" we are going. "Watch our Smoke." Preps you say, with a kind of a sneer, Just so, for such we are, Right in line we've been all year, Toiling and working hard. Even the Freshmen with awe we behold, Were once Preps, but now no more, Plodding away for wisdom so bold, Aspiring to be Sophomore. An august body, these Sophomores, With minds embryonic still, Ridiculous they are, and "Oh!" such bores When of Knowledge they pipe their fill. As for lofty ideals, no one can rise, With the Juniors of C. W. C. To teach, to preach, and philosophise, Their highest ambition would be. Oh, but the Seniors, most sedate of all, With sages of old to vie, Rulers to be is surely their call, And with them wisdom must certainly die. Yours truly, the Preps of 1907, There is a little Zimmerman, who lives in Ladies Hall She has so many duties, she cannot watch them all. She limits their fun, and cuts down their hours, And urges them all to exert mental powers. (39) [group photo caption] Commercial Students. (40) [group photo caption] Commercial Students.

One hundred and four days after date, we promise to be well equipped and able to face any obstacle that may confront us in our line, to stand up for might and right, to look upon any trickery with an eye of scorn, to pay all our debts that we owe, to do justice to the business world, and to accumulate wealth. The Commercial Department of this year has been better in quality, and greater in quantity than ever before. The average membership has been fiftv. At the beginning of the year Prof. Schoenig stood at the helm, but due to sickness, he was unable to continue his well begun work. It was placed into the hands of others, who did not cause us to falter. Like all other work so has ours been subject to mistakes, blots, and blunders; but our penetrating eyes, well cultivated mind, and skillful hands, have always been able to correct these. We have always been able to give an account of every cent, therefore, are not afraid to undertake the duties and responsibilities which rest upon us as "Business" men and women. No man need be afraid to deal with us; for through life we will stand by our motto, "A square deal for every man." COMMERCIAL CLASS. (43) [Picture] (44) [photo caption] Philomathia Society.

Verily, when the ancient patriarchs founded Goethenia they builded better than they knew. Goethenia, starting at the head of the societies, has not let anyone step on her heels in the forward march of C. W. C. Last year all four claimed first place; this year to settle differences we have agreed to share our front seat with Philomathia. Of late Goethenia's raiment had become rather antiquated and even shabby, so that she was rather ashamed of her external appearance. But by an heroic effort she has been enabled to appear again a la mode. (Since getting her new outfit, a couple of freshmen and sophs, closed in mortal combat, fell through the canopy of the Hall; ditto a junior, who was refereeing.) Since Goethenia is composed of male units, of great variety and interesting habits, it will be of interest to watch them in their native haunts. One thing is evident, that Goetheni-ans believe in living life for all there is in it, and there is something doing in every session of this society. Perfection is not our boast in the present state, but we are aiming high in the realm of morality and of learning. Our errors are but guide-posts to the final goal. The eternal law of nature that all things are subject to change, is borne out in Goethenia. When an act comes to a close, the opening scene of the next shows us the president no longer pounding the bell, but meekly plying the broom and duster. The sergeant-at-arms no longer entertains the ladies without the door; now he occupies the executive throne with mien sedate and sober. On a recent occasion Goethenia showed that it ever was mindful of its motto. The rays of the incandescent lights suddenly failed, and darkness fell upon the audience; the girls screamed, then as one man the entire society rose and fervently shouted: "Mehr Licht" - and it came. The e-lite of the school and de-e-light of the Philomathians is found in epitome in our sixteen Goethenia members. Since O. R. Martin is president, he has taken to wearing spectacles and looking wise. Carl Bader doesn't blush so much any more - he is the despair of the girls. Paul Ditzen and Fred Kettelkamp have suddenly become ardently wrapt up in literary stunts; we might consider them as coming under the category of reform. J. Franklin Haas (notice what precedes the surname) takes violent exercise whenever he orates. W. J. Hollman still possesses his emotions and a flower garden for a vocabulary. Albert Hessel enlivens his speeches by saying en (pronounced French,) he is amiable and amicable. Henry Meyer is a most precocious janitor; he has even been seen with a broom. Arthur Hoech, for reasons unknown, owns the smile of permanent bliss. F. Kassman has had so much experience that he cannot keep from imparting some of it to others. Wm. Vosholl is willing to debate anything from the origin of the world to the dictates of fashion as to peg-top trousers. Paul W. Wipperman is busy with his debut at the dormitory; he intends to make up for lost time. Wm.

Since then she has kept pace with the progressions of ideas and has increased in moral and intellectual growth. One of her chief objects is to give to her members an improvement in their composition and elocution. Another is, to assist the young student in overcoming his awkwardness and stage fright, while appearing before, the public. In her halls the majority of her members have rendered their first debate, however, before they receive their diplomas they become proficient enough to debate with advanced debaters. The English and German languages are used, giving one the privilege of acquiring a better knowledge of both of them. The present members are wide-awake, ambitious and energetic young men, still they vary in their vocations: - When it comes to playing base ball, Allen and Gaebe beat them all. In lawsuits we have often been, But Bohm has pulled us out again. To have your picture on the wall, See Bauer, our photographer. Of all the lovers you can call, Gruner and Hessel are worst of all. Some of us, preaching can acquire Hessel, Kienle and Noltensmeyer. Likewise to preaching these will take, K. F. Steinbach, and Lawrence Hake. Agriculturalists have we, Hartel, Hertel and John Twente. If you want books and picture frames, Just kindly hand to Rock your name. A civil engineer will be, Schneider in nineteen twenty-three. Enormous love has Schowengerdt, For Latin, Greek, and all such work. Our long legged member, H. Schulze A famous plumber, he will be. Henry Janssen, now our baker, Longs to be a story-maker. Matthaei and Panwitt we will see, Country merchants in Tennessee. L. Wippermann and Victor Frick, Partners will be in raising "chicks." The queerest of all our choices, Is O. P. Schreiner trading horses. Although the vocations are different and some perhaps humorous, yet in our selections for lifework, we hope to achieve success by following closely our Motto, "Excelsior." (55) [2 Pictures] (56) [Pictures] (57) Conservatory of Music. This year has been one of unusual advantages to all who have had the earnestness to make the best of their time. Our number has increased and the following instructors have been added: Miss Irene Hartel, piano and harmony; Miss Luella Stueckeman, ear training; Miss Henrietta Zimmerman, sight singing. Fifty feet of blackboard space has been added for the use of the theory classes; and by commencement we shall have the use of a pedal organ and a fine pipe organ. We will not soon forget the piano recital by E. R. Kroeger and the violin recital by Victor Lichenstein, nor the rendition of Mozart's "12th Mass," Gaul's "Joan of Arc," Cowen's "Rose Maiden" and Gounod's "Messe Solonelle" by the Musical Union; Beirly's "Emmanuel" by the Chapel Choir; the various selections by the Treble Cleff Choir; and the recitals by the seniors. Aside from this we have had many student's recitals and we have furnished music for society programs, oratorical contests, Junior Ex., etc. Five of our number will receive the conservatory diploma. To them we extend a tearful farewell. Probably some of the rest of us will follow if we muster sufficient courage and endurance. When, no one knows. But if we plod faithfully on we may hope to some day, by and by, be seniors. (58) [group photo caption] C. W. C. Chorus." (59) CONSERVATORY CALENDAR.

(61) A DAY AT KESSLER HALL. 7:00 The early risers coming from the Ladies Dormitory ascend the stairs and a few moments later a piano is heard from one of the rooms upstairs. Soon another and another, until the keys of eight or nine pianos are being vigorously manipulated by as many pupils in an attempt to reproduce, in some degree, the thoughts and emotions of Bach, Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart and Wagner and endeavoring to acquire control over fingers and mind through the practice of scales, Biehl, Clementi, and Pischna exercises. 7:05 Tommy looking for an accompanist. 7:30 The director and other teachers appear and instruction begins. 8:30 Those who arrived at 7:00 have classes in the main college building or various duties which take them away, making room for others who now take their place. 9:15 Three or four senior girls would like to use the chapel piano to practice some of their recital pieces, but one of the Juniors, who is working on a piece for Junior Ex., has had possession of the chapel since early morning and judging from the thundering tones of the massive chords there is no hope of an early surrender. 10:00 All is apparently quiet and the students gather in the auditorium below for chapel exercises. As the president calls the roll the silence is broken by the sounds of vigorous scale practice from one of the rooms above. An industrious student is practicing over time. 10:30 Piano music is less in evidence. Sopranos and Altos vie with each other, small sweet voices, large shrill voices, as well as the mellow Bass are heard. In the halls the subject of conversation is harmony, counterpoint and musical history. "Covered fifths" and "concealed couples," being a special topic. 11:15 Some of the rooms are vacant for want of energy on the part of those who are paying for the use of the pianos during this period. 12:00 All is quiet for thirty minutes. 12:30 Bader plays "The Rosary" and "Narcissus." 2:00 Harmony, counterpoint and History classes meet. 3:00 Roeder asks to be excused from his lesson. 3:30 Senior class has a lesson in the chapel, preparing to appear in public. 4:45 Singing class is laboring with do, re, me and the other members of that family. 5:30 Only a few faithful ones remain. 5:45 Forty-five minutes rest for the pianos. 6:30 The men now have possession of the practice rooms. 7:00 The Musical Union has gathered its forces and the beautiful choruses of Mozart's "12th Mass," Gaul's "Joan or Arc," or of Cowen's "Rose Maiden" can be heard several blocks away. 8:30 All is quiet and lights are out. Hark! There comes a sound from one of the rooms as that of a beginner playing with one finger. It is the blind tuner doing his work after the noise and din of the day is over.

It is the aim of this department to develop the all-around man. It is indeed a very important factor in training young men physically, intellectually, and morally. In a physical way, military drill gives one out-door exercise, which is essential to good health. The cadet is required to walk erectly, with shoulders thrown back and chest expanded, and to acquire a manly bearing generally. Intellectually, the student receives a general knowledge of military tactics and some idea of military life. He also acquires the power of concentrating his mind, for without this, it is impossible to execute the commands of the officer rapidly and with exactness. In respect to moral training the military drill teaches one the lesson of subordination and obedience. Not that the individual is depreciated, but, by the peculiar circumstances and conditions, the minds of many are brought into subjection to the mind of the officer, and in this way becomes accustomed to working together. The importance of this fact cannot be over estimated. Many students have recognized these benefits and have taken advantage of them. This fact, together with the enterprise and perseverenoe of our commandant, has caused a decided increase in enrollment and in interest. New and more stringent rules governing promptness, attendance, and promotion, have been adopted and enforced. The conditions of the company at present are promising and we hope to enroll a great number of students next year. (75) Oratorical Associations. (76) The English Oratorical Association.

The students are its best advertising medium. They make much for the weal or woe of their alma mater. The catalogue sent out annually, advertises the college by giving a roster of trustees, faculty, and students, and by showing what courses are offered, what work is required, and what rules and regulations are in vogue. The Annual is an efficient advertising agent as it presents the various classes and organizations to view in likeness and write-up, and tells those things nowhere else to be heard. At C. W. C. another medium of advertising is the Central Wesleyan Star. For nearly four and twenty years it has appeared monthly during the school year, shedding its rays over this broad land of ours, and even sending some rays to the far off Oriental shores. Its appearance is hailed with delight in eight hundred homes, its rays are seen by thousands. In both English and the German language it tells of our daily doings, it presents the ideas of students or others, and subjects literary, scientific, historical, or theological. It refers to the boys and girls of yore and rejoices in their success. It congratulates them when they embark upon the matrimonial sea, and sheds a sympathetic tear with the friends, when one has crossed the bar. In fact, at all times it aims to be a beacon pointing to C. W. C. and to uphold all her interests. To accomplish this is not a sinecure. The staff realizes such to be the case, however it is not daunted thereby, but endeavors at all times to send forth a luminary of as high grade as is possible with the means at hand. Professors A. W. Ebeling and Eugene Weiffenbach represent the faculty on the staff. Messrs. Gottlob Cast and Louis DeVries the Senior Class; and Messrs. Phil. Walter and Carl O. Sauer the Junior Class, in this undertaking. Though the accompanying cuts show that all members of the staff are of Teutonic extraction, their temperaments and inclinations are diverse enough to insure a many-sided college paper. But the staff would not be so presumptuous as to arrogate to itself all the honor for the success of the Central Wesleyan Star, for much is due to its loyal subscribers. May their numbers increase and its rays become more bright as the days roll by. A. W. E. (80) [group photo caption] Student Body Assembled For Chapel Exercises. (81) Y.W.C.A. Cabinet.

Katheryne Frick During the past year the Young Women's Christian Association of Central Wesleyan College has reached an enrollment of fifty. All of the members have taken an active part in the year's work. At our weekly devotional meetings talks were given by Christian workers of the town and by members of the Association itself, arousing enthusiasm and inspiration for the work. Our Devotional Committee got out neat little printed topic cards giving the subjects in order for the entire year. These were distributed among the members and friends of the Association. Bible and Mission Study Classes have been conducted with much success. Two Bible Study Classes used respectfully, "Studies in the Life of Christ," by Sharman, and "A Harmony of the Gospels," by Stevens and Burton. The former class, conducted by Mrs. G. B. Addicks has a membership of fourteen, and meets once a week. The latter, conducted by Miss Olivia Heidel has an enrollment of twelve, and also meets once a week. The three year old class, led by Mrs. Henry Vosholl has been working on "Studies in the Acts and Epistles," by Edward I. Bosworth, and "The Records and Letters of the Apsotolic Age," by Ernest De-Witt Burton, and has been meeting once a week. A Mission Study Class has been conducted by Mrs. J. M. Rinkel and has an enrollment of six. They are using "Effective Workers in Needy Fields," gotten out by The Student Volunteer Movement. At the Summer Conference at Waterloo, Iowa, last August, our Association was repre- (83) sented by Edith Haenssler, Millicent Frick and Perma Garber. To the State Convention which was held at Warrensburg, Mo., during the month of February, we sent the Misses Luella Stueckeman, Maude Drew, Esther Knehans, Marie Addicks, Estelle Eversmeyer, Nettie Schowengerdt, Lula Watt, Eleanor Kramer, Bertha Jacoby and Irene Hartel. These Conferences have been a source of inspiration to the delegates, who have brought some excellent suggestions for carrying on the work in our local organization. At the beginning of the year the new girls were given a reception by the Association members of last year. The object of a social evening like this is to open the way for future friendships, from which much is hoped. Our further aim is to interest more girls in the work and to encourage a personal friendship with Jesus Christ, so that we may go out later and, as faithful, consecrated women, do our share of the world's work.

War Cry: "The world for Jesus Christ in this Generation." YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. The Young Men's Christian Association is an organization of young men who seek a higher type of Christian manhood by striving for perfection physically, mentally and spiritually. Their aim is to meet the demands of the day with strong hands, clean minds, and pure hearts; to be manly men, a help to the other fellow, and a blessing to the world. The association of C. W. C., was organized in May, 1902. Its first president was Edw. H. Bolm. Its first Mission Committee chairman was Herman Schutz who is now on the mission field. The president for the next two successive years was Mr. C. A. Krummel and Mr. R. D. Winker was president last year. The association has made excellent progress and is a wide awake growing organization. One of the excellent features of the year was a series of Life Work" addresses by prominent men in different professions. (86) [group photo caption] EPWORTH LEAGUE CABINET. L.

Though not distinctly a college organization, being primarily one of the factors in our church household, the Epworth League is, nevertheless, a power for good in the religions life at Central Wesleyan College. Its Membership is composed alike of faculty, students and members of the local German Methodist Episcopal Church. Its officers belong to one or the other of these classes. To show the importance of this factor, we need only refer to the work that is being done. On every Sunday evening before the regular services at the church, a short devotional meeting or song service is held by the Epworth League. At these meetings, both the German and the English language is used in the discussion of the regular topic for the evening or in testimony or prayer. Blessed meetings are held. Occasionally the League has the entire Sunday evening for a special meeting when addresses on live topics are given. However, not only in word, but also in deed, the Epworth League is doing good. In recent times it has contributed towards buying an organ for a Sunday School in Truesdale, toward buying song books for the local Sunday School, toward mission and toward other worthy causes. The sick are visited, the sorrowing are comforted, and the needy are helped. Several who once were members, are now in foreign fields, so that a live interest in missions is maintained. The officers during the year, most of whom are shown in the cut, were as follows: President, Prof. O.E. Kriege; 1st Vice-President, Prof. Eugene Weiffenbach; 2nd Vice-President, Samuel Heusi; 3rd Vice-President, Miss Olivia Heidel; 4th Vice-President, Dr. A. W. Ebeling; Recording Secretary, Miss Luella Stueckemann; Corresponding Secretary, Luther Nagel; Treasurer, Miss Cornelia Heidel; Organist, the Misses Irene Hartel and Edith Kriege. The Epworth League furnishes a fine opportunity for all students, the Preps as well as the Seniors, to strive to live in accord with the motto, "Look up, lift up," and it has proven a benediction to many who have studied in the halls of Central Wesleyan College. (88) Athletics (89) Athletic Association. OFFICERS: A. L. HESSEL, President. P. WIPPERMAN, Sec. and Treas. F. O. KETTELKAMP, Vice-President. WM. HACKMAN, Mascot. Ladies' Basket Ball Association. OFFICERS: MAUDE DREW, President. ELSIE KARTELL, Vice-President. LULA WATT, Secretary. CLARA JACOBY, Treasurer. The year 1906-07 has been an auspicious one for C. W. C.'s athletics, not because of superior teams - although a marked advance upon previous years is noticeable - But especially because of the revival of interest and the renewed life and vigor with which the students have taken hold of this branch of college work. As a result the Association has a new and improved Constitution and the management of the various teams has been greatly improved, the natural consequence of being better teams. Basket Ball is the first sport affected by the new rules. Heretofore chief attention has been given to the C. W. C. League games, and comparatively few games have been played with other schools. Under the new regulations the League is to be retained, but greater importance is to be attached to outside games, for which the League games will be excellent preparation. This year six teams participated in the League games, finishing in the order named: Wesleyans, Gladiators, Stars, Skiddoos, Browns and Olympians. The Wesleyans, C. W. C's. champions, made an enviable record in spite of obverse conditions, losing only one game - one of the two played against the Washington University five. The loss of this game was largely due to the wretched condition of the men when they went into the game. With this one exception the team proved itself invincible. Allen and Hackman, guards, were stars in their position, and the forewards, Bader and Hollman, "the little Dutchman," played hard fast ball, (90) while Wipperman, C. W. C's. young Goliath, was a terror to all opposing centers. At the close of the present year the team loses Hackman and Hollman, two very valuable men, but good material in abundance remains, and a fast team for next year is assured. Base Ball too has felt the vivifying fire. A decade has passed since C. W. C. won noteworthy victory on the diamond. In the almost forgotten past her base ball team was looked upon as invincible by teams of this vicinity. But the laurels of those triumphs have withered and died. But the year 1906-07 has marked the renaissance of base ball at C. W. C. With the influx of new and promising material the sport has taken new life, and a series of postseason class games in the fall of 1906 revealed a wealth of handy ball tossers and sluggers from which to choose the team. Great preparations are being made for the coming season. New uniforms are to be ordered, a new diamond has been laid off, and backstop and bleachers erected. As soon as the weather permits Capt. Allen will begin putting candidates for positions through their paces. Funds will be pushed vigorously, and when the season opens C. W. C. will have a team in the field of which all Central Wesleyans may be proud, and which will delight the hearts of the ladies, who are eagerly looking forward to the time when they may sally forth from their old castle to cheer the boys to victory.

[cartoon caption] Gastronomic Stunt (97) Literary (98) One of Nature's Favored Spots It was spring when first I chanced upon the little spot of Nature which afterwards meant so much to me. Attracted by clumps of flowers which, like jewels, studded with velvet turf here and there, I passed through the dense screen of bushes and vines which hid it from the eyes of the casual passer-by. I stepped into a small amphitheater, so beautiful that it seemed like a trysting place of the fairies or the home of the wood nymphs. On the left, from the sharp projecting wall of rock, a tiny spring trickled down to join its waters with those of a brook, which ran rippling and splashing over the rocks at my feet, filling the air with silvery music. Before me rose the steep hill side, covered with feathery plumes of ferns just beginning to unfold, modest violets filling the air with fragrance, lovely fairy-like anemones and starry blood roots. On the right a tree growing from out the hill side, festooned with masses of ivy and grape vines, formed the other wall of this little amphitheater. Great elms and oaks wove their boughs, clothed in their first tender green, into a canopy, pierced with golden shafts of sunlight. The birds were flitting to and fro, building their nests and warbling sweet songs of gladness. "This" I thought, "is Life, fresh, joyous, budding Life." When next I saw this spot it was summer. Gone was the first delicate loveliness of spring, gone from trees and vines the first tender green, and in their place was full matured beauty. The leaves were of the richest, darkest green and under the grape leaves hung tiny, hard green fruits. Dainty violets and blue bells were no more. In their places the scarlet columbine, the waxy, fragile Indian pipe and bright-colored fungi with a background of soft mosses and long graceful ferns, decked the hill side. No breeze stirred the drowsy stillness, not even the birds chirped in the leafy bowers. The little brook flowed more slowly now and the spring, scarcely visible, watered the lichens which covered like lacework the bare brown rock. This, too, was Life, but stately, rich, mature. Now it was Autumn. In scarlet garlands the ivy hung from the trees whose leaves were sear and brown, purple grapes clustered on the vines, asters and golden rods waved on the hillside, and instead of the song of birds the noisy chatter of squirrels gathering their winter stores, was heard. The mosses, lichens and delicate ferns were dry and brown already nipped by the frost, and the down-covered seeds of thistle and milk-weed found lodgment among the rocks. Long, silvery cobwebs floated about, hanging from every bush and vine, or, laden with dew drops, covered the weeds with an airy veil. As I stood regarding the scene before me, a few ripe nuts fell clattering among the rocks at my feet and a sudden gust of wind showered over me a flutter of golden leaves. Life was ebbing away, slowly but surely. It was winter. Spring, Summer, Autumn, what are they compared with the silent, pure (99) beauty of King Winter? The gray clouds had shaken down from their ample folds the soft, clinging snow over the brown, naked earth and bare trees. As I gazed there came to my mind those lines of Bryant, "The groves were God's first temples." How true it was! Bryant spoke of the trees in their summer garments but the words were equally applicable to those of winter. The same feeling of awe crept over me which one experiences when entering a dim old cathedral. The solemn air which prevails, the subdued light filtered through stained windows, the very liveliness and scantity of the atmosphere which pervades a church was reproduced here. And was this not a sanctuary, the temple of the living God? The trees and their branches were snowy, lofty pillars and arches stronger and yet more graceful than any ever formed by human hand. The tangled masses of vines were frescoed and carved more delicately and beautifully than any ever fashioned by man. The bushes, nearly crushed by the weight of the snow, formed niches all ready to receive the statues of saints, and heaps of the drifted snow were the pews, while before me the white, unsullied hillside was the lofty chancel. The setting sun, for a brief moment, threw a rosy glow over the whole scene. Silence, calm and majestic reigned over all, and I, a solitary spectator, stood and marveled. M. D. H. '09. (100) Dormitory Politics. The following remarks are based upon the sum total of knowledge gained from experience, observation and reflection of one who has spent some time in old C. W. C. May they serve as a guide to the young men of the future, who shall enter the mysteries and tempt the charm of college social life. Any gentleman between the ages of 15 and 35 may become a candidate for social distinction. Having studied The "Science of 'Girlology,'" an unwritten work, which the "old heads" have gotten "down pat", he plans his own maneuvers. With a Napoleonic eye he surveys the rank and file of the blooming college lassies as they march into the dining room three times a day. When the first concert is announced his courage falls to freeing point, but the ancient proverb, "Faint heart ne'er won fair lady" revives his depressed spirits, and he writes the uncertain note. Ah! my reader, you cannot conceive what anxiety possesses the mind of the sleepless candidate, for this issue outweighs all others. If you could behold him on the following day as he receives a dainty missive, as he steals to the privacy of his room and reads, "Your kind invitation is herewith accepted," you would see "Victory" stamped upon that once-worried brow. On the eve of the concert, he crosses the threshold of the ladies' dormitory, animated by no chivalrous spirit. At the sight of his adored, his admiration assumes boundless proportions. Without a profusion of conversational preliminaries, they march arm in arm to the scene of rapture and delight, where their hearts are joined by "all the chains that tie the hidden soul of harmony." Once being elected to the joys of "Dormitory Politics" our hero must plan a thorough campaign for future conquest. In the spirit of determinate Americanism he resolves to keep on, if it takes the whole school year. He plans private meetings, when and where to go walking; he must learn of the machinations of college professors, in order that he may not cross their pathway while transgressing the laws; an act which is punishable by campus arrest. Couples have often been seen on congenial Sunday afternoons, winding around the back streets and alleys of lovely Warrenton, perceiving everywhere that the aldermen were neglecting their duties of building side-walks, grading hills and removing such obstacles as confront the merry walkers at frequent intervals. Track walking is, without a doubt, more enjoyable and young people awaken to the fact that the American railroad has not only paved the way for hurrying iron horses across the continent, but that it also leads college couples on to permanent happiness. When autumn adorns the north temperate zone with all its splendor, squads of couples, led by a lieutenant, sally forth into the fields and forests in search of walnuts, hickory nuts and (101) persimmons. On December 8th, two companies left the dormitory in pursuit of persimmons. The one went east, the other west. The eastern party gathered their fruit in the field of one of Warren county's old settlers, who attended C. W. C. along about in the sixties, but who had forgotten the pranks of his earlier days. He rebuked the young gallants, who had perched themselves upon the branches of those aged trees, and commanded "Forward March!" The company had already filled their baskets and returned home with joyful hearts. No doubt the most important personage of these excursion trips is the chaperon; a professor, the preceptress or a senior. Whether they always enjoy their business, I cannot prove, but On November seventeenth, nineteen six, Hardly a man has forgotten the fix - How the bachelor Prof's with anger stirred Marched the co-eds around the world. They left the church with a martial tread, Watching the maidens with eyes of dread. To America in silence up the street; They heard behind the tramp of feet. The fellows came on, those college boys, Shorn of all pleasure, happiness, joys, "Old Glory" hung there, but liberty sighed; These college men was freedom denied. Like Lord Lochinvar away they ran, Leading their sweethearts to fair Japan. Quickly, yes, quickly the Prof's called the roll, But many were absent, and few to console. For dear Ireland, next they were bound, They arrived here merry, safe and sound. Prof. gave the word to fall into line, No attention was paid, not even a sign. Lastly they drifted to old Germany, The Dear "Vaterland" of bliss and glee. Here coffee and cake they ate so LATE, Then homeward sped, with hurried gait. Hail then those glorious chaperons, Whose ranks by Central Wesleyan's sons, Were signally broken that fearful night For the sake of justice, truth and the right. No doubt the greatest boon of college life is that beneficent social institution the "Open Parlors." The spectator may observe three stages of parlor proceedings. First, the truth of the adage, "Birds of a feather flock together," is manifested in the grouping of the girls on one side of the room and the boys on the other. Secondly, the intermingling of the courageous (102) gallants and the fair lassies. Lastly, the stage noted for witty conversation, increasing happiness and the end of the drama by the professor's command, "Boys, ten o'clock." "Special parlors" are occasionally granted to a college stalwart. But should anyone endeavor to secure this privilege he ought to remember the fate and fortune of the little minister and his adored who were assaulted by a violent mob on January the 23, 1907, at 7:30 P. M. Not only was their sweet conversation interrupted by the clamor of the out-door enthusiasts, and the din of their "sonorous metal," but also by the unharmonious conglomeration of noises produced of a dozen chattering alarm clocks. The "Honey Boy" advertisement, "The more you eat, the more you want" may be well applied to the Central Wesleyan students. After having had several privileged occasions to converse with the ladies, the tactful politician begins "to paddle his own canoe" and becomes a master of opportunities. You see him in the reading or recitation rooms, you see him conversing at the bottom of the stairs, a place which has in the course of time become a veritable Mecca for every gentle swain. When I behold that nest of singing birds, the music hall, I think of the words, "If these walls had tongues, what tales they could tell." Here one hears the matin of the lark, the lullaby of the nightingale, the warbles of the thrush, besides the sweetest notes of the mocking bird and the canary. This dove-cote, the Kessler Hall, is guarded like an active bee hive. But young men have the audacity to acquaint themselves with the schedule and make occasional visits to the practice rooms. The director considers such an offender as great a criminal as was Martin Lather, when he burned the papal bull and denounced the decrees of the Roman Pontiff. He has, more than once, seen pairs of ungainly shoes protruding from behind the piano, and followed this observation with righteous denunciations, but without securing permanent success. When "the bleak December" establishes his grave authority on earth, when the "fierce Kabibonokka" freezes "ponds and lakes and rivers," then the art of skating affords seasons of merriment. The sport becomes intensely interesting because the fair ones must often be taught in Missouri by a "holding-up method." It is advised and encouraged by all chaperons, that couples should avoid clashing on thin ice. The following quotation of Alfred Tennyson, is familiar to all: "In the spring a livelier iris settles on the burnished dove, In the spring a young man's fancy, lightly turns to thoughts of love." The truth of this statement has been proven during the forty-two years of college history. When spring beautifies, wild pansies and columbines adorn the verdant hill sides, when Aurora with her congenial influence kindles the dormant natures of men, when Nature's temples resound with the melodies of artless singers, then the longings of a college boy's heart eclipse the aspiration of his intellect. During this season walks to the cemetery and to the blossomed forests are many and multiplied. On some Saturday a party of couples will hire a number of buggies and visit that famous wild wood resort, "Big Charette." The country abounds in majestic forest trees, silvery brooks and gigantic, geological specimens. While the beautiful scenery is enjoyed, love thrives as it did among primitive races; but only for a day. The luxurious meal is often spread upon the green turf, while festal Mirth presides. One of the daintiest dishes is "Fudge," that peculiar kind of sweetmeat, adapted to college circles, noted for its fine flavor and exquisite qualities. After dinner, some practice the principles, others peruse the pages of the "Complete Angler." Many, however, retire to some shady nook and pass the time in sweet discourse, until the sun sinks beneath the western horizon. That the memories of these days (103) are more enduring that the indestructible "Charette" cliffs is a theory, which is consistent with the teachings of our professor in philosophy, the expounder on German Idealism. Time passes by, the school year draws to a close. Mulitudinous have been the joys of the successful strategist. But sorrows have furrowed the brow of the politician who has been forced to retire, or one who met a fate like that of St. Helena's prisoner. Commencement week is the culmination of a year of increasing happiness. The closing scene of the college drama is the passing of the politicians and their friends, carrying with them the blessed memories of the golden days, spent in Central Wesleyan College. PAUL H. DITZEN, '08. Dickery, dickery, dock. Hang the dormitory clock. The clock strikes ten Out go the men Dickery, dickery, dock. YE SONS OF REST. Pres. - Punko Hertel. Vice-Pres - Fatty Ott. Secy. - Pretty Bohm. Sargent-at-Arms - Shorty Schulze. Committee on Membership - Hertel, Ott, Bohm Motto: Please go way and let me dream. Qualifications: Abhorrence for work. Place of meeting: Shorty's den. Time: Six days in the week, and twice on Sunday. Where are you going my pretty maid? To Kessler Hall, sir she said. May I go with you my pretty maid? (104) Classified vs. Preps. (WITH APOLOGIES TO ALFRED LORD TENNYSON.) O! Twas a glorious game, Everyone thought the same - Preps won the greatest fame Of all their days; And in that mimic fight Darkness was turned to light, As the Preps showed their might In many ways. On that great Saturday They challenged us to play Saying that any day They could defeat us; Yea, for awhile they did Show us what they could bid - Then we took off the lid, And they did fuss! Long ere the time had come The "Gym" was filled; and some Started to go back home, There was no room; Everyone came to see What a defeat 'twould be, And how the Preps would flee On to their doom. Then, as the Game began, They rose, and every man Cheered as men only can - The Preps, were winning; But soon they held their peace, (105) As the score did increase, And the Preps, had to cease - For we were grinning. Seniors to right of him, Juniors to left of him, Preps, all in front of him, Shouted and blundered; Still did old Allen stand True to his College band - He was in great demand As on they thundered! Kallmeyer stood his ground; Yea, and on every round Hollman's poor head he found - Hugging and beating; But Juniors soon awoke And then they did provoke; How the old building spoke Echoes of greeting. Thus the first half was played. To us, small heed they payed As the full balance swayed All in our favor; Then, how the Preps, did cry: - "All of your strength apply, We'll write your names on high If you can save her! Though the Preps, oft did foul, And Bader oft did scowl, While Hessel didn't growl, Nobody cared; For we the goul did pile With scores, in greatest style; They were behind, a mile - Badly they fared. Little did strength avail; For, tho' they blew like hail They were but left to wail, Their fate deploring; Loud rang the victor's song, And the whole merry throng Carried the sound along, Praises outpouring. H. J. '09. (106) The Color Rush. Night hung dark about the campus Still, all nature lay in sleep. Stars are beaming, Moonlight gleaming, Freshmen dreaming, In their beds. But the "Sophies" weren't sleeping, Rest came not from dark till dawn. They were waking, Weapons taking, Silence breaking, On the roof. In that building slept two Freshmen, And they heard the "Sophies" noise. And they wondered, For it thundered Like a hundred Sophomores wild. These two Freshmen didn't linger, For it was the "Color-rush." See them sneaking, Dust-clouds reeking Allies seeking For the rush. Soon they reached the dormitory, Where their comrades dreamed so sweet. Hear the knocking, Echoes mocking Doors unlocking, "Heroes rise!" (107) See their rooms are getting lighter, They're preparing for the rush. They are running, See now cunning, More are coming For the rush. Now the valiant Freshman forces Stand outside, prepared to go. Hear the chatter, And the clatter Pitter-patter On the walk. Now they reach the college building, And they hoot with war-cry loud. See them rushing, And the pushing, Faces flushing, Up they go. When they reached the topmost stair-case There was rubbish in the way. Hear it smashing, And a-mashing And a-clashing On the ground. Now they're in the lofty garret, And they see above their heads "Sophies" peering, And a-fearing And a-sneering, From the roof. There they stood around the opening, Looking down upon the scene. Freshies standing, Wisely planning Forces manning, For the rush. Now they raise the heavy ladder, And a valiant Freshman starts Up the ladder, Hear the clatter, See him scatter Dust and dirt. But the "Sophies" on the housetop Push the hero standing high. Hear him calling, (108) He is falling, O-appalling, Hero's fate. But another Freshman saves him, Leads him down from danger's seat. "Build a scaffold, Be not baffled, 'Sophies' are rattled, Freshmen work!" When the sun lit the horizon Freshmen stood on scaffold firm. See them vieing Now they're plying Now a-prying Something up. Twas the monstrous attic ladder Thrown across the little gap. "Sophies" on it, Sit upon it Lie upon it, Toiling hard. They repulse the braver Freshmen With their hands thrust through the gap. Sweat is flowing "Sophs" are blowing, Tired growing Almost done. In the meantime two brave Freshmen Clambered up the college sides. "Freshs" are beating, "Sophs" are bleating, And entreating For some term. But the Freshmen saw no glory, Lest they take the flag by force. So, they, pushing, And a-flushing, And a-rushing, Gained the roof. "Sophies" didn't try to rescue, But they watched us take the flag, Do we dare it? Sure, we tear it, And we wear it, Heroes brave. (109) "Sophies" can do nothing better, Than to grasp our hands in praise. Seniors cheer us, Juniors near us, "Sophies" fear us, Freshmen Class.

The success of a school is to be measured to a great extent, by the records of her Alumni, and in this respect C. W. C. has justly reason to be proud. Her graduates represent almost every profession and walk in life. It has been our aim to arrange a short historical sketch of each Alumnus since his or her graduation. On account of a lack of space, also insufficient information, we have necessarily made these very brief. In some cases it was impossible to obtain the correct address, while others failed to respond to the list of questions sent to them. That the influence of C. W. C. upon her students has not been limited to the days spent in her halls, but has remained with them in later life, is attested by the expressions of sentiment accompanying many of the replies, and which we have taken the liberty to publish together with the sketches. 1870.

(129) Exams, a Parody. (WITH APOLOGIES TO THOMAS JEFFERSON.) Whenever, in the course of school and college life, it becomes necessary and expedient that the teachers inform themselves as to the amount of wisdom and the depth of knowledge which their pupils have acquired under their tender and careful supervision, they institute what we term "Exams." To these we most emphatically object, and, out of respect for the opinions of mankind, it is necessary that we set forth the causes for such objection. We hold these truths to be self evident: That all students have been created equal and that they possess certain inalienable rights, among which are; tranquility of soul and mind, the prerogative of humming classes occasionally without being caught at "exams," and of talking to the girls during study hours, and the necessity of saving some vitality and nervous powers for future use. These rights they do not have as long as "exams." have their existence, tortures more excruciating and ingenious and more exhausting than those which the inquisition perpetrated on its cringing victims, bringing such insufferable agonies with them that it is greater than mortal student can bear. Long has been the patient endurance of the students, but it has become necessary to free ourselves from these miseries. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. 1. Even to the best students the word "exams." brings moments of intense anxiety, extra study and loss of sleep. 2. To the student of medium ability the pang of terror which the thought and the name of "exams." occasions, becomes sharper and more bitter. He spends days and nights in cramming so that his report may become a thing of credit and praise to himself and of joy to his fond parents, and the result is that he worries continually for weeks before the arrival of the dread day. 3. But to the poor, unfaithful student the word has in it more of horror and awfulness than the Judgment Day and he loathes it as he would a pest. He pushes off every thought of it till the last moment as he would of any terrible but inevitable fate but, as the time approaches the dreadful spectre becomes larger and more awe-inspiring; and then he, to whom real study was unknown; begins to burn the mid-night oil and to pore over his books until his eyes cannot be kept open by force and he crams and CRAMS and CRAMS. 4. Cramming, excessive cramming, such as he does, causes bad dreams. Latin conjugations and declensions, triangles, polygons and circles dance around his bedside and over him in the shape of grinning goblins. The pictures and characters from history and literature become real and living, haunting him in his peaceful repose. Gaulic warriors threaten him with their huge weapons, Cicero hurls phillipics at him sharper and more emphatic than those in which he denounced Cataline. Demosthenes, with pebbles in his mouth, shouts into his ears the wisdom of Plato, Aristotle and Socrates; Hercules bombards him with test tubes, alco- (130) hol lamps and other labratory apparatus, while Nero, seated on a huge Ancient History, watches his misery and the scene of mad confusion with the same calm, fiendish smile on his face with which he witnessed the burning of Rome. The dawning morning finds the poor victim of such dreams exhausted, hollow-eyed and without an atom of energy, and his papers show the effect. 5. After these exertions and trials it takes at least two weeks to get "rested up" enough to resume his regular studies, before he has recovered enough vitality to return to his work of the new term. 6. We maintain that the nervous energy and the elasticity of spirit which a student uses up in preparing for and taking an "exam." would take him safely through half of another term. 7. It has been known that preparation for "exams" has deprived certain people of a half hour's talk in the halls, the worst thing that could happen to them. 8. We assert also that the most of the deep furrows on the brows'and the silver in the hair of some of the members of the faculty, as well as some of their occasional irritability, have been caused by "exams." Therefore, we, the students of Central Wesleyan College, appealing to the good common sense and sound judgment of mankind in general, do, in the name of all students, declare that examinations are a truly barbarous custom, a very unnecessary trial to their patience, an exceedingly exhausting process and a means for shortening their lives and should be abolished now and forever. And in support of this declaration with a firm reliance (as a last resort) on the "cop" system of the United States of America we continually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.
