ALMA  MATER,  thou  art  not  what  we  would  have 
thee  be.  Wilt  thou,  as  a  seed,  spring  forth  with 
new  life  to  regain  and  surpass  thy  former  beauty 
and  stength,  fill  a  vast  sphere  with  the  honey-scented 
influence  of  learning  and  love,  an  irresistible  combination? 
Guard  closely  the  policies  of  thy  endeavors;  recognize 
things  common  to  every  human  heart;  and  a  New  Era 
dawns  for  thee.

Work 


BY  work  we  live,  are  polished  and  improved.  B\ 
work  pleasures  are  made  more  sweet,  re.'.t  more 
soothing,  and  sleep  profound  and  peaceful.  By 
work  dreams  come  true,  gigantic  industries  are  huilt  from 
crude  ore,  heroic  men  are  made  of  weaklings.  By  work 
energies  are  expended  either  rightly  or  wrongly;  the  drip- 
ping water  that  leaves  its  useless  impression  in  the  stubborn 
stone  might  have  turned  the  spindles  that  weave  the  silken 
thread.  — C.  R.  C.

Law  and  Order  at  Weaver  College 

KNOWING  that  Order  is  the  oil  which  lubricates 
human  association,  thus  preventing  the  loss  of 
energies  by  friction ;  knowing  that  where  people 
are  to  abide  successfully  together  definite  requirements 
must  be  asserted ;  knowing  that  the  principles  of  democ- 
racy are  practical  and  sound — Weaver  is  developing  a 
system  of  student  government  with  the  object  of  building 
stalwart  American  citizens,  dominant  personalities,  and 
noble  characters.

Everybody  likes  Barnett.  Perhaps  this 
is  the  reason  he  was  able  to  secure  one 
of  the  fair  sex  before  coming  to  us.  When 
lie  came  into  our  midst,  he  joined  the 
Ministerial  Band,  and  his  hard  work  and 
noble  life  have  kept  him  true  to  his  obliga- 
tion. In  the  next  ten  years  we  anticipate 
seeing  him  one  of  the  greatest  men  in  our

Whether  it  be  in  work  or  in  play,  he  is

"Blackie"  is  one  of  those  fellows  who 
present  the  ideal  of  the  typical  Southern 
gentleman.  Debating  is  his  special  delight: 
and  he  is  an  orator  of  no  mean  ability,  for 
his  thoughts  are  always  clear-cut  and  right 
to  the  point.  Wherever  he  goes,  the  name 
of  Weaver  will  be  honored.

This  maiden  will  leave  a  place  that  will 
be  hard  to  fill  when  she  departs  from 
Weaver.  Whenever  we  wanted  a  musical 
treat,  Lillian  was  always  called  on  and  al- 
ways responded;  we  were  satisfied.  Wo 
are  sure  that  she  will  cheer  many  with 
her  song  in  the  future,  as  she  has  cheered 
us  during  our  days  with  her  on  the  cam- 
pus. We  are  sure  that  great  success  will 
crown  her  efforts.  Music  calms  the  roaring 
lion,  subjecting  his  will  to  the  musician.

With  a  year's  experience  as  a  school 
"Prof.,"  Bill  comes  to  us  from  the  wilds  of 
South  Carolina.  This  sturdy  character  is 
noted  for  his  original  thinking,  keen  per- 
ception, and  exact  judgment.  His  "Affaires 
de  Coeur"  might  be  told  in  a  book  fittingly 
entitled  "A  Thousand  and  One  Nights — 
Each  with  a  Different  Girl."  Although  he 
has  an  adventurous  spirit  along  this  line, 
we  feel  sure  that  this  gentleman  will  some 
day  occupy  a  high  place  in  his  chosen 
work.  He  is  very  original  in  thought  and 
action.

You  can  depend  on  him  to  enjoy  the  joke. 
A  frown  never  clouds  his  days.  He  has 
many  friends,  no  enemies.  He  has  a  great 
liking  for  the  "women,"  but  he  manages  to 
suppress  it  well.  To  the  fortunate  young 
lady  the  Class  of  '26  surrenders  this  good

rivals,  the  Junior  Class,  being  in  sane  mind,  do  hereby  proclaim,  publish,  and  make  known

Second.  We  desire  to  thank  the  faculty  for  their  leniency  in  grading  us  for  we  realize

enthusiastic  desire  for  valuable  information.

Social  Events 


THE  opening  social  event  of  the  year  1925-1926  was  a  "Get-Acquainted  Party," 
given   by  the  Epworth   League,   Saturday  evening,   September  4,    1925.     This 
was  a  jolly,  informal  entertainment  which  put  the  blues  and  homesickness  to 
flight,  and  made  us  feel  at  home. 

The  four  Literary  Societies  soon  gave  their  annual  receptions  in  honor  of  the  new 
students.  The  Cliosophic-Euterpean  reception  was  given  in  the  lobby  of  Skinner  Hall 
Saturday  evening,  September  12,  1925.  The  decoration  of  the  hall  added  much  to 
the  party,  maroon  and  white  being  used,  with  golden  rod  and  autumn  leaves  arranged 
artistically  about  the  room.  On  Saturday  evening,  September  17,  1925,  the  Delphian- 
Mnemosynean  Literary  Societies  gave  their  annual  reception.  The  entrance  was  dec- 
orated to  represent  a  garden.  The  Mnemosynean  colors,  green  and  white,  were  car- 
ried out  here  by  the  use  of  trees,  flowers,  and  Japanese  lanterns.  The  guests  all  spent 
a  gay  evening  in  the  lobby,  where  the  Delphian  colors,  purple  and  white,  were  used  as 
decorations. 

The  long  winter  months  were  enlivened  by  many  social  events.  An  ice  cream 
supper,  a  carnival,  a  number  of  parties  given  in  honor  of  visiting  athletic  teams,  a 
Japanese  tea,  a  Valentine  party  given  by  members  of  the  Stanley-Rowan  County  Club, 
a  box  supper  for  the  "Pep,"  and  a  St.  Patrick's  Day  social,  were  among  the  parties 
that  the  jolly  Weaver  students  enjoyed. 

The  crowning  event  of  the  year  was  the  Junior-Senior  banquet,  given  at  the  Bat- 
tery Park  Hotel,  February  22,  1926.  This  event  will  always  be  remembered  with  a 
thrill  of  pleasure. 

In  spite  of  the  eager  excitement  and  the  joy  of  these  special  occasions,  there  are 
many  young  men  and  women  who  believe  that  the  greatest  institution  of  Weaver 
College  is  the  "Sunday  School  Hour,"  enjoyed  by  any  who  have  managed  to  walk  in 
the  exceedingly  narrow  path  of  duty  during  the  week. 

Thus  is  our  work  and  study  so  leavened  by  fun  and  frolic  that  there  are  few  dull 
days  or  tedious  hours  at  Old  Weaver.

PRAYER  is  the  great  connecting  link  of  communica- 
tion and  power  between  the  souls  of  men  and  God. 
Through    the   channel    of    prayer    the    infinite    re- 
sources  of   heavenly   love   flow   into   empty   human   souls, 
converting  them  into  a  spring  of  sparkling,  crystal  water, 
a  living  source  of  life. 

Each  week  the  students  of  Weaver  College  come 
together  in  a  silent,  reverent,  earnest  body  to  renew  their 
religious  strength,  develop  their  souls,  and  feast  on  the 
bounteous  love  of  God.

Religious  Activities 

"ALL  FOR  CHRIST" 


In  order  to  develop  Christian  characters,  the  College  must  have  organizations 
through  which  to  work.  The  Epworth  League,  a  nation-wide  organization,  is  one  of 
her  most  efficient  tools.  The  work  of  the  League  is  carried  on  largely  by  the  student 
body,  and  is  truly  wide-awake,  the  Sunday  evening  services  being  especially  attractive 
with  their  varied  programs.  The  College  League  is  well  represented  at  the  monthly 
District  Union  Meetings  and  at  the  Annual  Epworth  League  Conferences.  The  well 
attended  prayer  meeting  services  and  the  morning-watch,  a  worship  service  conducted 
before  breakfast,  are  both  under  the  supervision  of  the  League. 

The  College  has  her  own  Sunday  School,  with  a  staff  of  officers  elected  from  the 
student  body.  This  offers  a  wonderful  opportunity  for  service,  as  new  officers  are 
installed  every  quarter. 

The  Young  Men's  Christian  Association,  working  at  Skinner  Hall,  proved  itself  a 
helpful  and  efficient  organization.  There  are  two  other  organizations  offering  oppor- 
tunities for  service.  These  are  the  Christian  Workers'  Team  and  Life  Service  Band, 
both  for  students  interested  in  Christian  work.  A  small  yet  important  service  which 
makes  a  wonderful  impression  on  Weaver  students  is  "Family  Prayer,"  conducted 
immediately  after  the  evening  meal.  Silence  reigns  throughout  the  dining  hall  during 
the  few  minutes'  worship. 

The  annual  revival  services,  conducted  just  before  Christmas,  are  a  wonderful 
help  to  students,  as  during  the  time  neglected  pledges  are  revived  or  lives  are  newly 
offered  to  the  Master. 

The  student  body  of  Weaver  is  composed  largely  of  young  men  and  young  women 
who  are  striving  earnestly  and  eagerly  towards  a  high  and  worthy  ideal,  who  realize 
the  difficulties  and  complexities  of  modern  life,  but  are  convinced  that  Christian 
principles  will  solve  the  vexing  problems  and  difficulties  by  which  they  are  today 
confronted.  Mary  Ellen  Powell.

Weaver  Policy  of  Athletics 

nnHROUGHOUT  the  year  Weaver  College  has  been 
consistently  proud  of  its  athletic  policy.  It  is  a  pol- 
icy of  fairness,  of  true  sportsmanship,  of  athletic  rectitude. 
Weaver  holds  that  athletics  promote  a  moral  training  not 
less  valuable  than  the  physical  development  offered.  Al- 
ways athletics  should  build  a  reverence  for  the  right,  a  love 
for  what  is  fair.  Weaver  has  sought  to  teach  this,  and 
the  college  has  ever  hoped  to  see  such  a  love  and  reverence 
demonstrated  by  the  men  on  the  field.  Weaver  believes 
that  "It  isn't  so  much  whether  you  won  or  lost  that 
counts,  but  how  you  played  the  game."

With  dauntless  courage  and  tenacity,  a  keen,  intel- 
lectual knowledge  of  the  technique  of  the  football 
game  acquired  through  four  years  of  gridiron  drill 
this  powerful  son  of  Weaver  led  his  team  bravely 
through  many  hard-fought  battles.  Lyda  ia  noted  for 
line  plunging  all  over  our  playing  radius. 


Alvan  Dean.  Half  Back 

This  Georgian,  with  his  pluck  and  grit  and  several 
years  of  experience,  was  a  welcomed  addition  to  our 
grid  machine  of  '26.  He  stayed  put.  never  gave  in  nor 
tired.  His  love  of  the  sport  drove  him  on.  He  was 
dependable  and  sure.  Beautiful  punting  was  his  spe- 
cialty. 


Davis  Tuttle,  Half  Back 

This  knight  of  the  gridiron  hails  from  Lenoir,  a  foot- 
ball town.  He  was  promoted  from  tackle  to  half  back 
and  filled  his  position  like  a  veteran.  Daring,  silent, 
and  sturdy  characerizes  this  reliable  player.  "Tut," 
the  man  for  an  end  run. 


Guy  Hayes,  Half  Back 

A  late  start  at  the  beginning  of  the  training  period 
did  not  prevent  this  fast  little  "Rat"  from  making 
his  position  and  holding  his  own  during  many  scram- 
bles, against  odds,  for  the  "pig-skin."  "Rat"  was  a 
fleet-footed,  cool-headed  player  under  any  and  all 
conditions.

Sidney  Croy,  Center 

The  third  year  this  son  of  the  Southland  comes  back 
to  fight  for  Weaver  in  the  center  position,  pouring 
out  his  whole  soul  in  iron  steadfastness  and  bull- 
doggedness  for  his  Alma  Mater.  Croy  is  gummy, 
sticky,  and  dependable  ;  slow,  but  ever  sure.  Accurate 
passing  from   center  was  his  goal. 


Ray  Carpenter,  Left  Guard 

This  brave  son  of  the  Old  North  State  plays  his  third 
and  last  year  for  Old  Weaver.  He  is  a  fellow  with 
considerable  physical  strength  and  endurance,  full  of 
"pep,"  the  spice  of  football.  He  is  a  hard,  clean 
fighter,  and  always  on  the  alert.  On  Thanksgiving 
Day,  '25.  he  starred  in  his  position  as  left  guard,  and 
at  all  times  was  a  man  equal  to  the  task. 


Vernie  Bartlett,  Right  Tackle 

Coming  from  Reems  Creek,  this  rugged  mountaineer 
excels  in  power  of  body  and  in  qualities  of  mind. 
"Fats"  was  a  cultured  gentleman,  and  a  mainstay 
with  us.  He  has  weight,  drive,  and  speed — an  excel- 
lent combination  for  a  tackle.  When  his  cleats  slugged 
the  ground,  something  had  to  move.  His  wild 
cattishness  played  its  part. 


Carlyle  Jordan,  Right  End 

This  fellow  has  the  football  fever  and  a  good  knowl- 
edge of  the  game.  He  made  Weaver  an  end  worthy 
of  the  name.  He  never  failed,  unless  he  was  playing 
Cullowhee.  It  thrills  the  grid  fan's  heart  to  see  the 
pigskin   sail  into  his  sure  clutches. 


Glenn  Kennerly,  Left  Tackle 

"Ken,"  you  are  quite  the  stuff  and  played  football 
well,  although  you  are  "pretty."  From  a  greenhorn 
in  the  football  world  "Ken"  became  quite  a  profes- 
sional before  the  season  of  '25  was  over.  We  are 
looking  for  great  things  from  you  next  year. 


McAvoy  Brittain 

"Mac"  was  a  snatch  team  to  us.  When  some  one 
slowed  up,  "Mac"  came  in  with  plenty  of  ginger  ;  this 
was  spice  to  us,  too.  Although  "Hop"  was  not  always 
"sweet  to  Daddy,"  he  took  it  like  a  man.  Did  it  do 
you  good,   "Bo?"      Next  year  will   tell. 


Mark  Prigdex,  Right  Guard 

When  things  looked  serious ;  when  the  wind  blew 
wrong ;  when  Weaver  stood  still  ;  then  it  was  that 
"Munk's"  cherry  "Dad-burn  it  I"  helped  us  on.  With 
you.  "Munk,"  the  Mars  Hill  Thanksgiving  game  would 
have  been  ours.  This  was  a  trick  of  Fate.  What 
about   the   Thanksgiving   game   of   '26? 


Sherrod  Tuttle 

To  Sherrod  Tuttle,  whose  picture  we  do  not  have.  But 
this  promising  son  of  Weaver  took  his  bad  luck  like  a 
teal  man.  He  bore  his  pain,  suffered  the  consequences, 
and  still  wears  his  smile.  It  has  been  we,  the  rest  of 
the  team,  who  have  missed  you  most.  "Tut."  This 
getting  your  knee  fractured  was  another  trick  of  Fate. 
Who  knows  but  what  it  was  for  the  best  ?  Best 
wishes,  "Bud  I"

Summary  of  Football  Season 


The  football  season  opened  September  25,  school  having  begun  September  4.  The 
delay  in  getting  to  practice  was  due  to  a  water  shortage,  which  was  a  great  hindrance 
to  the  development  of  a  football  machine  for  Old  Weaver. 

September  24,  Coach  Houston  Arbogast  sent  out  a  call  for  candidates.  Among 
those  reporting  were  Lyda,  captain;  Croy,  center;  Carpenter,  guard;  and  Hampton, 
end ;  the  only  letter  men  available.  Among  the  new  men  reporting  were  Davis  Tuttle, 
Sherrod  Tuttle,  Dean,  Pridgen,  Hart,  Brittain,  Weaver,  Woolley,  Bartlett,  A.  Felipe, 
Jordan,  Greene,  R.  Hunnicutt.  Teague,  and  T.  Huneycutt.  A  second  call  was 
made,  and  the  following  responded :  Love,  Wilson,  Cox,  Moss,  Summey,  Burgin, 
and  Wolfe. 

The  first  game  of  the  season  was  played  October  3,  on  Dunham  Field,  with  the 
powerful  Farm  School  eleven.  The  "Blue  Giants"  fought  hard  against  odds  during 
the  first  half,  but  the  weight  and  training  of  the  Farm  School  Aggies  won  for  them  a 
score  of  25-7. 

The  next  game  was  also  played  on  the  home  field,  Mars  Hill  meeting  Weaver  on 
the  following  Saturday.  Football  fans  had  estimated  an  overwhelming  victory  for  the 
Baptists,  since  the  Methodists  were  defeated  by  Farm  School.  This  game  was  a  revela- 
tion of  the  "Old  Weaver  spirit,"  which  invariably  means  hard  and  clean  football.  The 
battle  raged  fiercely  on  both  sides,  neither  scoring  in  the  first  half;  however,  the 
Weaver  men  outplayed  the  Baptists,  the  ball  remaining  most  of  the  time  in  their 
territory.  The  breaks  went  against  the  Methodists,  and  the  score  announced  by  the 
referee  was  a  tie — 6-6. 

Weaver  men  journeyed  to  Maryville,  Tennessee,  October  17  to  face  the  great 
Maryville  aggregation.  Here  the  Methodists  met  with  a  hard  proposition,  Maryville 
men  being  heavy  and  entirely  out  of  the  Weaver  class.  The  first  half  of  the  game 
was  played  by  the  Weaver  varsity,  who  held  the  Presbyterians  to  a  score  of  25-0, 
which  demonstrated  to  the  Tennesseians  that  Weaver  had  been  upon  the  field  fighting. 
The  second  half  was  played  by  the  Weaver  "scrubs,"  who  longed  for  a  taste  of  real 
football ;  and  when  the  half  had  ended,  the  score  then  stood  84-0. 

One  week  later,  Wingate  College  met  Weaver  on  Dunham  Field.  Last  year 
Weaver  went  to  Wingate  and  defeated  her  by  a  small  margin  of  one  point.  Here 
was  an  old  enemy  out  for  revenge,  and  Weaver  put  forth  every  effort  to  win  a  second 
victory,  while  Wingate  used  every  available  ounce  of  strength  to  "even  up."  The 
Weaver  line  stood  firm  and  Wingate  suffered  a  great  many  more  penalties  than  did 
Weaver;  yet  they  succeeded  in  pushing  over  two  touchdowns,  which  was  enough  to 
win  for  the  visitors  the  game.     Score:  13-6. 

October  13,  Weaver  again  journeyed  to  Tennessee,  this  time  to  meet  Tusculum, 
another  large  college.  The  Blue  Giants  were  well  aware  of  the  situation  and  were 
determined  to  give  the  Tusculum  boys  a  "hot  battle."  The  entire  Weaver  team  played 
hard  and  clean,  laboring  under  difficult  conditions;  they  played  in  a  field  of  mud; 
bucking  and  holding  a  heavy  line  under  such  conditions  was  too  much  for  the  Weaver 
boys,  and  the  score  announced  was  25-0. 

Rutherford  College  came  to  Weaver  November  11.  Weaver  soon  found  the 
Rutherford  boys  an  easy  bunch,  game  and  well  trained,  but  lacking  in  football  experi- 
ence. The  backfield  was  on  the  alert  and  Dean  punted  well.  End  runs  and  forward 
passes  worked  well,  and  Weaver  had  but  little  trouble  in  walking  away  with  an  18-0 
victory. 


Page    One    Hundred    Five 


Cullowhee  was  the  next  team  to  fall  before  the  sturdy  Weaverites,  November  18, 
and  was  played  at  Cullowhee.  Again,  Weaver  had  to  meet  a  hard-fighting  little  team, 
yet  one  inexperienced  in  football,  whose  physical  strength  was  somewhat  weaker  than 
Weaver's;  hence,  the  Methodists  had  no  great  task  in  running  up  a  score  of  28-6. 

The  last  game  of  the  season  came  on  Thanksgiving  Day;  for  the  first  time  this,  the 
greatest  game  of  the  year,  was  played  on  the  Mars  Hill  field.  Weaver's  successes, 
measured  by  scores,  had  been  almost  uniformly  lower  than  Mars  Hill  scores  where 
both  teams  had  met  the  same  opponents.  The  Weaver  spirit  revealed  itself  from  the 
first  kick-off,  when  a  Mars  Hill  man  received  the  ball  while  Kennerly  and  Hampton 
cut  him  down  before  he  could  gain  an  inch.  This  game  was  an  exhibition  of  real 
football  by  both  teams.  Captain  Lyda,  playing  his  last  game  of  football  for  Old 
Weaver,  starred  as  perhaps  he  had  never  done  before,  carrying  the  ball  through  the 
heavy  defense  of  the  Baptists  and  managing  his  team  so  as  successfully  to  compete 
against  the  difficulties  brought  about  by  a  continual  downpour  of  rain.  Another  star 
for  Weaver  that  day  was  Carpenter,  who  plunged  through  the  Baptist  line  and  got  his 
man,  throwing  the  Hill  for  a  loss  in  almost  every  play.  Dean,  as  always,  never  failed 
to  do  good  punting.  During  the  second  half,  Hays,  the  dauntless  Black  and  Gold 
halfback,  was  injured  and  was  unable  to  enter  the  game  again.  The  advantages  of 
the  remaining  part  of  the  game  were  slightly  with  the  heavier  Mars  Hill  team;  and 
soon  they  succeeded  in  making  an  end  run  for  a  touchdown,  but  failed  to  kick  a  goal. 
The  Methodists  were  determined  to  hold  them  from  a  further  score,  and  the  game 
closed  with  a  defeat  of  6-0.  For  the  first  time  in  the  history  of  the  contests  between 
the  two  colleges  Weaver  was  defeated  on  Thanksgiving  Day. 

The  close  of  the  season  came  on  Thursday  evening,  December  10,  when  the  annual 
banquet  was  held  at  West's  Cafe  in  a  most  generous  style.  Coach  Houston  Arbogast 
was  unable  to  be  present;  but  he  was  not  forgotten,  because  Weaver  men  are  always 
ready  to  give  him  great  credit  as  a  coach  of  remarkable  ability.  The  entire  squad  ex- 
pressed its  hope  that  he  would  be  back  to  coach  the  grid  machine  of  '26.  At  the  close 
of  the  banquet,  Mr.  Sidney  Croy  was  elected  captain  of  the  team  of  1926.

Dramatic  Club 


THERE  is  latent  talent  in  this  group  of  vigorous 
playmakers  which  needs  only  to  be  developed,  pol- 
ished, and  refined  in  order  to  reproduce  dramatic 
pieces  worthy  of  note.  By  Miss  Smith's  and  Mrs.  Carden's 
skillful  coaching,  this  band  has  already  given  plays  which 
attracted  wide  attention;  however,  the  possibilities  have 
not  yet  been  realized.  This  is  a  rich  field  of  college  en- 
deavor ;  we  hope  for  its  future.

WEAVERVILLE 

THE  last  decade  has  witnessed  an  interesting  development  in  American 
Home  Life — a  resurgent  movement  from  the  city  to  the  suburban  dis- 
trict and  small  towns.  The  automobile  has  been,  perhaps,  the  chief 
influence  in  producing'  this  exodus  from  town,  for  by  means  of  it  the 
business  man  of  even  moderate  income  has  been  able  to  exchange  the  close 
uarter  of  a  city  house  or  apartment  for  a  suburban  or  country  home,  with  a 
cool  veranda,  grassy  lawn  for  the  children  to  play  upon,  and  perhaps  a  bit  of 
garden  in  which  he  can  exploit  his  own  ideas  as  to  the  raising  of  beans  and 
cabbgea. 

A  number  of  such  homes  are  to  be  found  in  Weaverville.  Their  charm  is 
evident  at  the  first  glance,  and  a  second  reveals  the  fact  that  they  are  equipped 
with  every  modern  convenience — water,  sewerage,  electric  lights,  and  telephone. 
May  we  have  the  plaesure  of  showing  them  to  you?

Two  men  were  hunting  in  the  wilds 
of  Western  North  Carolina.  They 
were  chasing  a  wildcat,  when  they 
emerged  from  the  woods  ju.st  in  time 
to  see  the  animal  leap  into  the  win- 
dow of  a  mountain  cabin  from  which 
they  heard  the  voice  of  a  woman 
singing-.  Hubby  was  lounging  idly 
on  the  porch. 

"Great  Scott!  man.  is  your  wife  in 
the  house?"  a.sked  one  of  the  hunt- 
ers. 

"Yeah,"  said  the  man  lazily. 

"Well,  for  goodness  sake  get  busy! 
A  wildcat  has  just  jumped  into  the 
window." 

"Well,  let  him  get  out  the  best 
way  he  can.  I  ain't  got  no  use  for 
the  pesky  critters,  nowhow,"  said 
the  man.  unmoved. 


The  new  and  unusual— that  sparkling  reality  which  is 
known  as  the  life  of  each  school  year— is  caught  and 
held  forever  within  the  pages  of  Bureau  built  annuals. 
The  ability  to  assist  in  making  permanent  such  delight- 
ful bits  of  class  spontaneity  rests  in  an  organization  of 
creative  artists  guided  by  some  17  years  of  College  Annual

taste  and  the  fitness  of  doing  things  well.  In  the  finest
