Dr. Bennett is a graduate of the State Normal School of Kansasand the University of New York City, holding a Master's and Doctor'sdegree from the latter institution. In addition, he also did post grad-uate work at the New York School of Oratory.

After completing his work in New York City, Dr. Bennett (lamewest as principal and superintendent of the State Normal School ofNew Mexico. Here he proved very successful in his work and it wasnot long until he was called to Upper Iowa as Dean of Education. Threeyears ago he came to Highland Park as Dean of Liberal Arts. In hiswork here, Dr. Bennett has met with unqualified success and is deserv-edly popular with students, faculty and residents of the city.

Dr. Bennett has a wide reputation as an institute and chautauqualecturer and his services along these lines are in constant demand.

To THINK clearly, deeply, conectedly andsympathetically is the task of the collegian.He may become a scholar if he can; but hemust become a thinker. The first function of

the College of Liberal Arts is to teach students tothink. The making of thinkers must be paralleledwith the cultivating of broad sympathies. Breadthof outlook, richness of ideas, a sympathetic appre-ciation of the forces of civilization are necessaryelements of a liberal education.

Power to deal with new situations to which heis not aecustomed ; the capacity for rapid adjustmentto changed environment; the willingness to enterinto efficient participation with the work of theworld in the service of his fellows is the ideal of thisintellectual democracy called the College.

Good ned?'!reel and quiet,

Some thirty odd youths thirsting for knowledge ga thercd at tile por-tals of H. P. C. during the fall of '15 and registered for engineering.Some in three-year and some in four-year courses, and to the four-yearSophs and three-year .Iuniors we dedicate these pages.

Our number is not complete now and many names have beendropped from our roll call, owing to frequent conflicts with the U-JOcommanded by Capt. Du Hadway, U-S bv Commodore 'Walters, and De-troyer D-3 under Prof. Holbrook, wrecked some of our gallant fleet.Bombs dropped promiscuously by Profs. ,Vebb and Zuker left othersof our band dead or dying by the wavsirle. But our lines of defense havebeen closer drawn and our machines of warfare perfected until we cancope with any drive which they mav bring lip and we hope' to sail gal-lantly on to victory.

In closing we wish to thank these noble commanders for their sturdydefense against our appalling ignorance, thereby enabling us to over-come our difficulties, to gain strength and confidence in our abili tv tofight the battle bravely on to the end.

A few year ago it was felt that in addition to the regular degreecourse in Electrical Engineering a more short course was needed. Adepartment called the short electrical clivision was then added to thecollege of engineering. This course was designed for the benefit of themen who were either not fortunate to acquire the necessary previouseducation to take up the long course or felt that they didn't have thetime to spare. When our clean, Mr. Shane, entered Highland Park hesaw the need more than ever before for such a course and immediatelymade plans for the betterment of the men taking up this work.

Th next addition to the department was a man who had all the neces-sary practical experience and the ability to impart his technical train-ing to the men who had not hacl the higher mathematics. After search-ing far and wide Dean Shane engaged Mr. Ralph Chatterton, a degreeman from Ames to take charge of the short electrics. Chat, as the boysalways called him, began at once to do big things to help the boys to suc-ceed when they left school. The class had always been strongly organ-ized. They have held several banquets and have always had a largopart in the annual engineering exhibition. The 'wiring class 'has alwaysclone the wiring on the campus. They wired the new men's dormitoryand have done considora ble wiring around the city thereby gainingreal practical experience and getting familiar 'with the" city and under-writers' " rules for wiring.

Men that have left our department have all made good and are allholding prominent and. well paying positions all over the world andwish to say in conclusion that anybody contemplating taking a coursethat in a short time will fit them to a better place will never go wrong bycoming to Highland Park College.

~. 1J.. ~. ~.The A. I. E. E. is a national organization and is a representative

body of the Electrical Engineering profession.Sections of the A. I. E. E. have been formed in thirty-three of the

principal electrical centers of the United States, Canada, Mexico andPanama, and student branches have been established in fifty-seven insti-tutions of recognized standing.

The H. P. C. Branch was organized October 22, 1912, with a chartermembership of fifteen. Two regular meetings are held each monthwhere papers are read by students and professional men. Among thespeakers in the past year were Mr. H. VV. Garner of the Des MoniesElectrical Co., Mr. N. 'lV. Lovegrove of the Herring Motor Co., and Mr.Cunningham, representative from the Commonwealth Edison Co., Chi-cago, Ill. These men presented interesting papers touching on the prac-tical side of engineering.

llbarmacp lLibrarpThe "Mortar and Pestle Club"

composed of students of Pharmacyand Chemistry, together with theaid of the Alumni of the College ofPharmacy, have taken steps towardthe installation of a Scientific Li-brary, for the benefit of students ofChemistry and Pharmacy.

The College has donated a pleas-ant room, on the third floor ofScience Hall for that purpose.The Library is to be under the

direct control of the Faculty of thePharmacy Department, .and theMortar and Pestle Club.

IlepartmentgPHARMACY DEPARTMENT

Dean Elbert O. Kagy has charge of this department, andusually has all his audience alert and listening to his famous,"Have you all got that now," quotation I He is blessed withall the new specimen added to this department and is the firstto place them on the rough and rocky road through the course.

CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENTInorganic Chemistry:-Prof. Zuker toils and 'works try-

ing to get some little reaction into a man's head, and to besure some bonehead usually comes up the next day and askswhat dilute H20 is. He usually greets one after examinationwith his famous, ' ,Your own fault, I told you so." In Lab.he has made a splendid record of his, "Let's have less noise,please ", and finally his record failed, the typewriter havingproduced a fine new code of rules.

Organic Chemistry:-Prof. J. Earle Galloway has causedmore disturbance to the sleeping organs of man than any manon the faculty. He is the only person who really tells truefortunes, his specialty is "that morning after the night beforestuff." Another of his famous quotations is, "Have you allgot that down now r Do you all see it"/ Erase I"

DEPARTMENT OF MATERIA MEDICA"Blessed are those who study Pharmacy here, for they

shall receive Materia Medica as they ought to." This depart-ment is really the brush of department, for here Prof. J. EarleGalloway uses the newly gathered specimens, as they shouldbe. The cobwebs are loosened from his gray matter, and hefeels as though the world owes him something for makingthe grade.

1!lepartment~DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY

Physiology, Botany and Bacteriology:-Prof. Frenchuses his influence in trying to make people see things thatreally are. He uses for his weapon an instrument termed"microscope", and at the end of the first day in Lab. onethinks his imagining power increased 5070. In bugology hekeeps his audience constantly awake listening to some of hispronunciations, which seem to amuse the class.

LAW DEPARTMENTJudge Lawrence DeGraff says, "I can't make you law-

yers so I won't try." He lectures on the serious side of thesituation subsided by S01)1eevent. His voice is excellent, butthe student who does not pay attention never gets it. He getsa wink from his master eye.

AS THE PHARMICS READ THE BIBLEVerily he who goeth to Highland Park College of Pha r-

macy is often sorely oppressed. He shrinks with fear fromthe voice of Galloway and sitteth in awe while in the presenceof Zuker and French. But blessed be the man who can sleepwith perfect ease while in the presence of Dean Kagy. Helendeth a beaker to his nighborhood and getteth it not back.He coloreth his countenance with massage cream. He sub-mergeth his dough in olive oil. He anointeth his head withcerate. His leeward optics becometh filled with ammonia gastill he squinteth like a gopher. He splashes nitric acid onhis hand in Chern. Lab. He cometh in contact with poisonousdrugs in Pharmacognosy. Of a verity he endureth much andcomplaineth little. He kisses the lips of some fair damsel atHumboldt, but she turneth toward him a heart of Fe.

Verily it may be said his troubles are many and his pleas-.ures few. Yet question him as to this and he will aver thathe never had more joys in his life, than at H. P. College ofPharmacy. And in thy heart of hearts thoul 't knoweth thathe speaketh the truth.

~ormal tEraining (!toUegeThe training of teachers and supervisors for all the various public

school positions occupies a very important place in the life and functionof the average college and university. The training must be liberal,that the teacher may have the facts or matter in hand and at the sametime it must be special training to inculcate the elements of method andthe spirit of the teaching profession in the teacher.

This is self evident, for the teacher everywhere concerns himselfwith that element called education, which reduced to its simplest andlast analysis is yet ever complex. Education deals with every phase ofmodern life and calls upon the teacher to inform, to develop power, andto regulate every activity of the youth, so that he will become a positivecontributor to the race.

The teacher has always been, and will always remain the greatestpotentiality in the world. Through the teacher the nation's govern-ment is sustained, and through him powerful national revolutions tran-spire. The teacher always touches the inner wholesome life of thenation.

- The public schools are making rapid progress, and are requiringhigher standards of training and a better quality of teaching. Theteacher now, is obliged to have training and preparation for her work.Highland Park College has long been a leading special teachers' train-ing college. Over a quarter of a century ago it began as a Normal Col-lege and from this nucleus all the other departments of the institutiondrew their sustenance for growth. Ithas been well said, that the potentand far raching influence of any college springs from those who aremade into teachers.

This pa st year the Teachers' Training College has had a muchlarger attendance than usual; the fine spirit and co-operation of itsvarious departments have contributed to a fuller and. richer college lifefor every member. The following constitutes the principal state cer-tificate courses having inter-state accrediting:

Bachelor of Didactic degree courses;Advanced Normal Training, Primary Training, Home Economics

Training, Manual Training, Drawing and Art, Music Supervisor, Com-mercial Teachers.

The number of students doing special training in various otherteachers' courses is also large. These courses are: State and CountyCertificate course, and Twelve Weeks Normal Training, The SummerSchool and Special Courses in Rural School Domestic Science, Agricul-ture, and Manual' Training play an important part in our work.

Have we learned the truth supreme,Life is what we choose to make it;To hold in bond a friend's esteem;To do the right and ne'er forsake it.

HIGHLANDPA&KCOLLEGE

COLLEGE OFCOMME~CE..--------..

DES MOINESIOWA-

1!\ean ~tratunThe entire commercial department prides-itself UPQn

having the largest dean of any department. Not only ishe generously proportioned in stature, but he has a largeheart, a broad mind, and an inexhaustible good nature,all of which have enabled him to.win the respect and goodwill of those who. are fortunate enough to. be acquaintedwith him.

He began his schooling as many of us have, in alittle country school, later attending Nora Springs Sem-inary where he specialized in commercial work. Thenhe attended Ceda I' Falls Normal for four yea 1'8 specializ-ing in mathematics. He has taught at Spencer, Esther-ville and Storm Lake and two. years at Highland Park.

Aside from his educational career, he found time to.choose a "mQdel wife" who. has been an inspiration andblessing. The Strawn family have a strong representa-tion in Highland Park aside from the Dean, there being aSQnand daughter attending school.

The Dean is somewhat of an inventor as well as edu-cator, having completed an omnigraph machine for print-ing circular letters, which he has patented and is nowhaving built, and we predict that one of these machineswill eventually be in use in the Commercial Department,as a memoriam of QUI'talented Dean.

Oh, ye Commercials of Highland as students of yore,With knowledge your passion and keen to learn more,Make" Excelsior" your motto and aim of your strifeAnd the wreaths of success will be the crown of your life.

WORK OF A COMMERCIAL PEN ARTIST

<!ommercial (tClubSince the organization of the School of Commerce, there

has existed the "Student Organization". This year, this or-ganization has been taken over into what is known as the Com-mercial Club of Highland Park College.

The object of the Commercial Club is, "to promote theinterests of the students and the welfare of the School ofCommerce. It is a tie which binds the undergraduate, thealumni and special students closer together, and makes agreater School of Commerce. It helps to establish one's iden-tity with Highland Park.

actibitie~The first Commercial Affair, was a Hike to the Athenian

Woods just after school opened in September. A great num-ber of Commercials, loaded down with goodies left the campusabout six o'clock P. M. A long "train brought them to thewoods where, a large bonfire was soon kindled, and in a veryshort time passersby were attracted by the glowing fire, andthe outbursts of laughter from the merry company assured allthat a good time was being had.

Wienies and marshmallows were toasted and the earlyevening was spent in playing games.

Mrs. Barton and Dean Strawn gave the Commercial Cluba very pleasant surprise, when they invited them to the homeof the latter for the evening of February 12th. About ninetyresponded to the invitation. The evening was spent in gamesand music, and at the close, light refreshments were served.The color scheme of red, white and blue, being carried out.

All members stayed to a finish, it must have been good-Itwas good.

The evening of January 20th, was an evening well remem-bered by every member of the Commercial organization. Alarge number gathered at eight 0 'dock, in the Y. W. C. A.rooms of Science Hall for a real social time, and it was grantedall who attended. Games of Ell kinds, music) and general con-versation took up a greater part of tho time. At ten o'clockrefreshments were served. Each girl had the pleasure of en-tertaining two boys during this time, which made it very in-teresting-fot the girls. An early hour found the Commer-cials all in their respective rooms, but each one felt thatnever before had they had such a real enjoyable evening, andall felt gratified that they were Commercials.

After all it is the social affairs that make us rememberthe College, and makes the life worth while, as well, as theknowledge gained through books.

March 21st, was a beautiful day and the Commercials de-cided, that it was entirely too niee to be wasted in toiling overthe trial balance, or shorthand notes. At three 0 'clock, agreat-band of students were seen in front of Science, and tothose who inquired_, it was said, "It is the Commercials."What did it all mean? Could it be possible that the Com-mercials were getting frivolous, and were going to have anafternoon of fun ~ The procession started, and every Com-mercial fell into line and marched away. A tramp had beenplanned and this surely was an ideal way. Every kodakavailable, was brought forth, so that the many poses, whichare characteristic of a tramp of this. kind, could be snapped,and be looked upon in fond recollection of the happy momentsof College life, and the happy times at H. P. C.

ROBERT H. ATCHISON, B. 0., A. B.Dealt of College of Oratory

~ratorp ~epartnnentThe end of all education is soul development. Any part of one's

education that does not contribute directly or indirectly to this purposeis lost. In the expression of that greater spiritual life around whichall other life revolves, and which only is real in the highest sense, be-cause it is immortal, the arts hold sovereign sway. The art of Oratoryis second to none, because it has to do witu the spoken word, the great-est avenue for the expression of thought and emotion known to man-kind. It is used in the transaction of the most crass commercial affairsas well as in the interpretation of the most sublime dramatic concep-tions. It naturally follows that the study of Oratory will do more to-ward the development of one's personality than any other agent, andsince personality is the greatest asset to any individual, the art ofOratory is fundamental.

Highland Park College of Oratory, maintaining as it does, fullinstruction in every branch of the subject from practical public speak-ing to the dramatic art, has staunchly upheld its ideals and standards.With pride it points to the achievements of the third year of the pres-ent administration of its Dean, while its visions of greatness are bright-ened with new hope for the future.

The services of this important department in the general collegework cannot be over estimated for its value cannot be measured in theamount of dollars and cents that are taken over its counter. Althoughinto every phase of the college life and play an individual part in thepromotion of the college generally. The Oratory Department super-vises the spring festivals, has direct charge of the debating and punliespeaking work, and personally c'irects dramatic affairs. Like an heroicdivision of the Old Guard, it has successfully maintained its positionill the face of great danger and against heavy odds.

eratorp ~otmWhen a fellow's lost his spirits,And the work looks mighty blueWhen all the other teachersBegin to fret and stew.

When they scold about the lesson,And just nothing's going right,When you get so blamed peevishThat you're mad enough to fight.

And you wish the whole durned CollegeWas wiped right off the map,And midnight finds you studying,Without a minute's nap.

Your Spanish goes like fury,And Chapel makes you swear,When the 'bill of fan; won't tempt you,And you best girl doesn't care.When you've nearly reached the crisisWhen you're just about to quit,A hand' falls on your shoulder,A,voice says, "Cheer up a bit".

"What make you scowl so dreadful;Has anything gone wrong iYou come right into my' officeAnd that blue spell won't last long".

You stop and turn abruptly,It's Dean Atchison you see,And he's just the jolly fellowThat he always used to be.

His smile is worth a dollar,And it doesn't cost a dime,And it never seems the least bit worn,Tho it's in use most all the time.

When our College days are over,And far away we be,We'll remember our Oratory Dean,As the star of H. P. C.

..--~.~--.•. -FRANK NAGEL, Mus. D.

Dean of the College of Music

((oUege of :fflu~icDr. Frank Nagel, Dean of the College of Music, has the

distinction of having been associated with Highland Park Col-lege longer than any other member of the faculty. This is theeighteenth year of his affiliation with the college, all but fouror five of which have been spent in the capacity of Dean.During these eighteen years he has had many hundred stud-ents and a large percentage of graduates testify to his abilityas an instructor. An evidence of their loyalty was shown atthe Alumni banquet which was held at the close of his fifteenthyear's association with the college. At this banquet therewere present one or more representatives from each of thefifteen classes, many having come long distances to be present.

Not only is his ability apprecia ted among his immediateassociates but when it became necessary for the governor to'appoint a representative from Iowa to attend the centennialcelebration of the writing of "The Star Spangled Banner,"held in Baltimore several years ago, it was Dean Nagel whowas chosen.

As a conductor he holds a leading place in Des Moines,having been associated with numerous orchestras and havingconducted the Women 's Club chorus for many years, aswellas the Philharmonic choir, a civic organization which ap-peared in connection with leading orchestras of the MiddleWest from time to time in the presentation of Oratorios.

His unusual business ability has been repeatedly evi-denced by the fact that until withinthe past year or so everyartist who appeared in the city or every large musical eventwhich was successfully scheduled was, with few exceptions,under the management of Dean NageL

Numerous compositions for voice as well as instrumentsdo credit to his skill as a composer. Of unusual interest is theProcessional, written for and used at the Baccalaureate ser-vices during the last commencement season. This Proces-sional includes a large orchestra, solo numbers and a fullchoir.

Dean Nagel holds an enviable place in the musical worldand is equally influential as performer, teacher, composer andconductor. .

HIGHLAND PARK COLLEGE has been fortunatethroughout the year in having a good band. Perhapsnothing is as efficient in giving "pep" and tone to col-lege spirit as a live college band. It is not only a valu-

able asset for pep meetings and the like, but is a necessity forwell played athletics. As truthfully might he who quoted,"What would a college be without a flunk] " have also said"What is a football game without a band?"

The band was organized early in the school year by Mr.Dorsey, who is a veteran in the band business and a clarionetplayer of note. The success of the band may be attributedlargely to the director, Dean Nagel. Mr. Nagel is a musicianwho scarcely needs any introduction. Certainly not to thereaders of the Piper; but allow us to say that when it comesto being on the job, putting the pep into th- work, and beinga real band leader, Dean Nagel deserves that credit.

A number of engagements were played during the yearin connection with football and other athletics. In January abig concert was given in the college chapel. The Band wasassisted by Prof. Cox, who rendered several vocal numbers,and by Prof. Sheasby, who played several violin solos.

Much credit is due the band boys who have given theirtime and interest to build up a musical organiza tion whichany colege and student body might justly feel proud of.

in the iIlepartment nf ausieLong may it liveAnd of its genius and energy giveTo students who have aspirations; and longFor the knowledge to write just the simplest song.

Not Kreisler but Sheasby each violin mocksAnd each wonderous singer's a veritable Cox,As for the piano, you all may have seenThe Young virtuosos produced by our Dean.

A trio like this is equalled by noneAnd among music students, is the hope of each one;That Nagel and Sheasby and Cox will stay hereTo build Highland's Music aim higher each year:

Director of Athletics

Mr. Brown came to Highland Park last year as Directorof Athletics. As Coach of our Basket Ball team he turned outa wonderful team considering the handicap under which heand the team had to work. Mr. Brown rounded out of a bunchof green material a team which played to the satisfaction ofevery follower of Highland Athletics. After the call fortrack candidates, Mr. Brown again showed his ability as acoach and, with a limited number of men and poor supportfrom the students, produced a team which reflects credit onour Athletics.

jfootllaUTwo games lost, one tied and foul' won tells the story of

the football-season of 1916. With" Mike" Hyland in chargeagain as coach it was an assured fact that the Highland Parkteam would rank well up on the list of Iowa teams.

When Jensen, who was slated for a tackle position, wasretired to the sidelines with a broken jaw and Captain Me-Cauley, around whom Hyland was building a strong offense,had to drop out on account of a broken leg, the prospects for asuccessful season took somewhat of a slump. Both of theseinjuries coming just before the Ames game, the hardest con-test of the season, left the coach in a hole, but with his usualversatility he quickly reorganized his offense and for threequarters the team fought the giants of the Agricultural Col-lege almost to a standstill, being scored on only once. Thenhoping to save his men from the heavy gruelling, Hyland sub-stituted almost for the entire team and as a result two moretouchdowns were registered by the heavy Ames machine. Thegame, however, was a battle from start to finish, the High-landers playing the best quality of football that they showedduring the season until the Creighton game.

As a preliminary game of the season the DavenportChiropractics were played in .Des Moines but, even after sub-stituting for nearly all of the first string, Highland Park ranup a score of :;>9to O.

/

In spite of the pummeling of the Ames game the High-landers took Simpson to a 19 to 7 trimming on their own fieldin the mud, but when they attempted to continue the winningstreak against Cornell, the most inexcusable defeat of theseason was experienced. .Iust why it was no one seemed todiscover but it is certain that the team playedway below parexcept in the third quarter after Hyland's lecture betweenhalves, when they got together and carried the ball acrosstwice, kicking one goal. But the flash was only temporary,and on the last quarter, Cornell again took the offensive andcontinued to pile up the score which was 29 to 13.

The Des Moines game was captured by the Highlanders14 to 7 after a hard battle from both teams and from here

the team went to Toledo where they "wadedthrough the Lean-der Clark aggregation for a score of 29 to 7.

By this time the team seemed to be rounding into shapeagain and when they arrived in Omaha for the fray withCreighton they were going right. The game was reported asbeing one of the best ever seen on the Creighton field. TheCatholics were confident of winning and had a right to be, butafter a terrific struggle when both teams carried the ball overthe goal twice but failed to count because of penalties, thegame ended in a tie.

With the exception of the Cornell game the season wasa success for Highland Park had no right to expect to defeat

...Ames. Callahan at center, Woodrow at guard and Ferrell atend were selected for the Iowa Conference team, and Noel atquarter and Keller at tackle were given honorable mention.

Of the twelve letter men of last fall five will return forthe nucleus of the team next fall. These are Captain electMichel, Greenwood, Stanley, Lewis, Rau. Jensen, who barelyfailed to win his letter because of his injury, will return.Among the freshmen who displayed first class ability"who areto return are Lawrence, Aitken, McDowell, Bray, Bean, Zieg-ler, McGowan. A well balanced schedule has been arrangedand with a coach of recognized ability, McGinnis, formerlyfreshman coach of Michigan University, there is no reasonwhy Highland Park shall not continue the high class caliberof football that she has displayed the past two years.

Recognizing the limitations of inexperienced players andan almost impossible place to play, it was determined to ex-periment with a Varsity Basketball team last season. Be-ginning with a squad, not a member of "whichhad ever playedin an inter-collegiate game, Coach Brown had to start work.on the simplest fundamentals of the game, passing, basketshooting, dribbling, etc. Even at that a schedule includingsome of the strongest teams in the' state was undertaken.

After defeating the Danish College team the locals at-tempted to play Simpson on their huge floor. Within fiveminutes Reese had to quit the game with a twisted knee mid abig hole was left in the defense as well as the offense, forRoese was perhaps the most accurate basket shooter as well

as a strong defensive guard. Then playing on the largest'floor in the conference after practicing on the smallest, theHighlanders were always more or less confused but foughtthrough to the finish, losing by a score of 31 to 11. WithReese and Greenwood both out, Highland attempted to playCornell on their own floor and received the worst defeat ofthe season. In the one game of all games that it was desiredto win, the game with Des Moines, the Highlanders put upthe best quality of ball that they had showed during the sea-son thus far, and after a fast and furious but remarkablyclean game, ran up a score of 27 to 15 on the Des Moines floor.

The team showed a remarkable development and had itnot been for the loss of Jensen in the middle of the secondhalf at Penn, Highland Park then leading by six points, wouldhave defeated the Quakers on their floor, but as it was theywere finally beaten by 30 to 33. Central, rated as one of thefastest teams in the state, won decisively on their own floorafter a stiff fight. The Cheyenne Indians, an independentaggregation touring the state, tried to take the measure ofthe Highlanders but were trimmed by a score of 27 to 14.

'I'he return games of Central and Penn were the bestplayed and most interesting games of the season. There waslittle expectation of beating Central even at home, but thefinal score of 27 to 19 favoring Central hardly told the storyof the game. The Highlanders went into the Penn game de-termined to win. The play was terrific from the first whistle.First one team and then the other forged. At one time illthe second half Highland led by three points when two luckyshots by Synhorst, the star of the visitors, and a free throwshot them into the lead and the whistle blew before the localscould recover, the final score being 20 to 22.

According to the newspaper reporters who reported theHighland games and the officials who refereed, the develop-ment .of the Highland Park five was phenominal. Beginningwith only the greenest of material, working under severehandicaps of playing accommodations, the team developed adefinite style of team play and aggressive work that won muchfavorable comment from unprejudiced spectators. Their playwas remarkably clean and it could hardly be said that anyoneman was better than another, each one playing his positionas he had been taught. At that, however, Captain Rau asstanding' guard and Greenwood at forward, were awardedhonorable mention by the critics in making up the statequintet.

, The 1916 baseball season was the most successful base-ball season Highland Park has enjoyed since becoming a mem-ber of the Iowa Conference.

In 1915 Highland tried for conference championship in avery muddled championship race and won it on a basis ofgames actually played. This year, however, her claim to thechampionship has never been disputed as she finished the con-ference schedule with but one defeat while her nearest rivallost three games.

With Reese, Ferrell, Craven, Tallman, McCauley, Cun-ningham and Veach-all veterans, as a nucleus about whichto build the 1916 team, baseball prospects looked bright. Fromthe first call for practice, to the end of the season, there was ahard fight for positions and the veterans were forced to de-liver the goods before getting the "calL"

The new men in Highland Park baseball, Kinsey, Macom-ber, Callahan, Watson, Keller and Noble, were willing andable to assume the veterans' positions at all times.

Before the schedule opened, a series of games were playedwith some of the best teams in the city as well as a three gameseries with the Des Moines Western Leaguers. At the con-clusion of this series Nelson announced that his team was in"mid-season" form.

Monday, April 17, the season opened with Leander Clarkat Des Moines. Captain Reese took the mound for Highlandand proceeded to shut out Leander Clark, striking out thirteenmen and allowing but three scattered hits. Craven with threehits and Veach and Tallman each with two hits were big fac-tors in winning the 5-0 victory.

Saturday, April 22, with Kinsey in the box, Highlandrouted Coe, 14 to 3. Kinsey allowed but five scattered hits

and struck out seventeen men, while his team mates hit safelyfourteen times, Tallman leading the onslaught with three safeblows.

Tuesday, April 25, Highland met Dubuque College atDubuque, and after fighting desperately for six innings, camefrom behind in the seventh and won 10 to 2. A batting rallyin the ninth drove Murphy, Dubuque's star hurler, from themound. Highland secured nine hits while Kinsey allowed butfive and struck out seventeen men.

The following day Highland dropped a loosely playedcontest to Campion College at Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin,by a score of 10 to 1. Highland's lone tally came in the fourthwhen Tallman singled, advanced to second on Macomber'swalk and scored on Reese's single.

April 29, with Reese pitching, Simpson was easily de-feated in a five inning game 8 to 1. Game called on accountof rain.

May 2, with Kinsey in the box, Penn met their Waterloo.While Kinsey was allowing but three hits, the Purple andWhite crew pounded four Penn twirlers for eighteen hits."Rube" Cunningham led the attack with four two base hitswhile Veach hit safely three times. Score, Highland Park20, Penn 3.

May 4, Iowa 'Wesleyan were defeated 12 to 5, Reese pitch-ing. Ferrell led with three hits.

May 9, Kinsey shut out Simpson at Indianola, allowingbut one bit and striking out fifteen men, while his teammatesannexed 11 runs, the result of fourteen blows. McCauley ledwith three safe wallops.

The second defeat of the season came when Highlandlost to Morningside 9 to O. It was a pitchers battle in whichWenig won out over Kinsey. \?i,Tenig allowed but three scat-tered hits.

May 17, Reese pitching against the Waseda Japs allowedbut three hits while Highland landed safely ten times, winninga six to nothing victory.

May 19, Kinsey pitching against Leander Clark, struckout twenty-two men, allowing but one hit. Score, HighlandPark 2, Leander Clark O.

May 30, Highland defeated Coe 4 to 2. A home run byKinsey and pinch hitting by Callahan in the ninth, drove inthe winning runs.

In a pitchers battle between Kinsey and Byerly of Cor-nell, Highland was again victorious by a score of 1 to O. Thisvictory assured the Highlanders of the championship title inthe Iowa Conference.

The last game of the conference schedule was dropped toCornell by a score of 9 to 5.

Sensational fielding by Ames and a persistent "Jinx"won for Ames a three to nothing victory over Highland, June5.

Tuesday after the Ames game J olm I. Nelson banquetedthe members of the team at the Savery Hotel. Earl S. Kinseywas elected captain for 1917.

Reese, Kinsey, Ferrell, Callahan, Cunningham, Macom-ber, Cronen, Tallman, McCauley and Veach were awardedthe honor "H" medals and sweaters.

Craven and Ferrell have played their full time of baseballunder the Conference ruling, four years. They have madesplendid records during their four years of service, each hav-ing won places on "all conference" teams. Both have cap-tained the Highlanders in baseball and the loss of these valu-able athletes and generous sportsmen will be keenly felt bythe, athletes and followers of Highland Athletics.

Cunningham and Tallman, both two year men, have fin-ished their courses and will probably be absent from nextyear's lineup. 'Rube' has always hit near the top and haspitched winning ball. Tallman led the team in hitting lastyear and won a place on the" all conference" team this year.He also won the Fairweather medal, being the best all aroundathlete and scholar. Their loss will be felt.

With some new material which we can always count ongetting, and seven veterans from this year, Highland can wellexpect to equal her 1916 record in 1917.

The personnel of the team, however, does not alone un-dergo a change, for .Iohn 1. Nelson, director of Athletics andbaseball coach for the past two years, has resigned to enterbusiness for himself.

Nelson's retirement is sincerely regretted by the stud-ents and athletes of Highland Park College, for they wellrealize what he has done for athletics. He has made manyfriends while connected with the College and all wish himabundant success in business.

LOUIS D. CRULL opened his second successful trackyear at Highland Park College. By order of the coach,captain Woodrow had his men training indoors longbefore the season opened. Everything was bright for

a very successful year. All the old squad were back, and sev-eral new prospects.

Coach Crull called for the first out-door practice early inApril. A large squad reported and earnest training was OIL

Highland opened its season with an inter-departmentmeet on the home field. Engineers were first with 45 points.Liberal Arts second with 42; Oratories third with 40. DavidOyler won individual honors with 24 points. Woodrow sec-ond. Two Home Meet records were broken by Treacy andGena in the Shot Put and 220-yard dash respectively. Thismeet was also a tryout for the Drake Relay' meet one weekfollowing, of which Highland entered half and mile relayteams.

On April 28 Highland journeyed to Indianola for a tri-angular meet with Simpson and Des Moines Colleges. High-land easily defeats and outclasses their opponents winningwith 67% points to Simpson 35 and Des Moines 23 4-5. Oylerwas individual point winner, with Gena, Tracy and Jensenbig point factors.

On May 5 we met Des Moines College in a dual meet onour field. Spirit was running high for this meet. Newspa-pers doped Des Moines as winners. Students gave the team

a loyal support never before seen in track athletics at High-land Park College. Des Moines fought hard but could notdefeat the crack Highland team. Oyler again was individualpoint. winner with Gena second and Treacy third. Treacy es-tablished a new Home Meet record in the Discus of 120 feet5 inches.

On May 12 Highland made their annual trip to the IowaConference meet at Cedar Rapids. "Theday was disagreeable,raining the whole day. No records "were broken and poormarks were made in most every event. Treacy brought hometwo firsts, the Shot Put and Discuss Throw. Woodrow wonsecond in the mile and Oyler finished second in the low hur-dles. Gena and Jensen were also point winners.

The track season ended with the State meet at Drake.Highland, weary of the long strenuous season just passed,made little showing.

Gena was elected captain for the 1917 track season.

~be ,~tt15' ~(ee ~IubThe Girls' Glee Club is an organization of which Highland Park

College may well be proud. It was organized shortly after the begin-ning of the school year and under the excellent leadership of Prof. E.C. Cox and has achieved a most remarkable success. Its main objecthas been to offer every opportunity for the advancement of voice cul-ture, to all those who have talent for singing.

The club appeared on many of the programs during the school yearand always received a hearty applause from their appreciative hearers.

<!&ratorical ~cttbitie5During the past year Highland Park College has continued her

membership in the State Oratorical Association with a degree of sue-cess of which she need not feel ashamed.

ORATORICAL CONTEST.The preliminary Oratorical Contest was held in the college audi-

torium December 2, 1916. There were five contestants, Mr. Waltr Wil-liams, being chosen to represent Highland Park College in the Inter-Collegiate Oratorical Contest. The title of his oration was" The NewDemocracy. "

Mr. Williams won second place in the Inter-Collegiate Contest forthe western half of the state, which was held at Simpson College, In-dianola, Iowa, Feb. 2, 1917. The competing colleges were Simpson,Highland Park, Buena Vista, Ellsworth, Parsons and Morningside, thelast named securing the first place.

On March 2nd the State Oratorical Contest in which representa-tives of the colleges from both eastern and western sections of the statecompeted, was held at Parsons College, Fairfield, Iowa. Iowa Wesleyanwon first place, and Morningside second place. The Highlanders wereby no means disheartened by this temporary reverse, for the first twoyears of its membership in the Oratorical Association, Highland ParkCollege succeeded in winning second place in one state contest, besidesmaintaining its usual enthusiastic interest. This is a good recordsurely.

FAIRWEATHER CONTEST.Through the influence of Dean Atchison, Mr. Thomas Fairweather,

one of our City Commissioners, resident of Highland Park, and en-thusiastic promoter of all legitimate activities of our city offered twogold medals to the winners of the first and second places in an Orator-ical Contest to be held in the college auditorium January 26, 1917.The rules governing this contest were briefly, to-wit:

1. Each oration to contain not less than fifteen hundred or morethan two thousand words, not more than two hundred of which shallbe quotations.

2. There shall be three judges on thought and composition andthree on delivery, one of whom shall be a clergyman.

3. Orations must be original, on any subject, the writer maychoose.

In strict conformity to the rules and regulations, the FairweatherContest was held on the appointed date, there being seven contestantsappearing in the order names as follows: George Vest, Josie Knutson,Bertha Maltzahn, H. R Tippett, Harold Webster, Ames Williams andJ. W. Darr. Mr. Ames Williams was accorded first place, while Mr.Webster and Mr. Darr ran so close on percentage that the second place

was awarded to them another medal being struck, by the consent ofMr. Fairweather. The three winning orations were: "Prepared-ness," by Mr. Ames Williams, "Eternal, Sacrifice," by Mr. HaroldWebster, and" The Ideal Man;' by Mr. Darr.

PROHIBITION CONTEST.The preliminary Prohibition Oratorical Contest was held in the

college auditorium, March 5, 1917. Four men competed for honors asfollows: George Vest, J. W. Darr, Harold Webster, and M. W.Alford. Mr. Harold 'Webster won first place, which carried with it acash prize of '$15.00and the honor of representing Highland Park Col-lege in the Iowa State Prohibition Contest at Ames. Second place wasawarded to Mr. Alford, with a cash prize of $10.00. Mr. Robert Mc-Nelly was the presiding officer at the local contest.

PEACE CONTEST.The Oratorical activities of the year were brought to a close on

March 26, 1917,when eight young men and women competed for localhonors in the Peace Oratorical Contest. They were Josie Knutson,Lida Leslie, James L. Carpenter, Hugo Hettman, J. W. Darr, MildredMorris, Ames Williams, and George Vest. The first place was won byJ. W. Darr, and with it a cash prize of $10.00, and the honor of repre-senting Highland Park College at the State Peace Oratorical Contestheld in Highland Park College auditorium, Friday, April 13th. Thesecond place was secured by Mr. Hugo Hettman, carrying with it acash prize of $5.00. Mr. Harold A. Webster presided over the localcontest.

The Oratory Club which constitutes Highland Park College branchof the State Forensic League has a membership, active and associateof approximately fifty. All students who are enrolled directly in thedepartment constitute the regular members, while all others who areenrolled in any of the class work comprise the associate membership.

It can be said without boasting that this organization is the mostactive student society on the campus. Under the immediate directionof the Oratory Dean, it has charge of the school, and the school func-tions pertaining thereto. It has a written constitution which has servedas a model to the other departments of the college. The Oratory Clubmeets twice a month for business and social session, while its cabinet,consisting of the officers of the organization, meet once a week withtheir Dean. Much efficient work has been done which has tended todevelop student initiative, and make for a broader and more effectivestudent life.

Debating has gradually won a place in the major College activities.Both the Administration and the student body of every leading Amer-ican University now support their 'Varsity Debating Teams.

Highland Park College has kept apace with progressive AmericanColleges in maintaining a strong debating team. Our Alma Mater hasa forensic record of which she may justly be proud, for out of thirty-eight debates participated in, she has "von thirty-one. On Feb. 25,1917, Highland met William .TewellCollege in a single debate at Lib-erty, Mo. The question was: "Resolved, that the United Statesshould enact a law providing for a subsidized merchant marine." Theaffirmative team which represented Highland, was composed of RaySowers, Robert McNelly and Franklin Weston. William Jewell wasvictorious by the closest possible margin, for Highland's team foughtto the last minute.

In proving herself to be in a class with William Jewell, which isrecognized as the strongest college in the debating field of the South
