NTHE publica tion of this book,
we have endeavored to select
the things which are best representatives of the life of all the
students in Highland Park College.
,lV e realize the responsibility that
has been placed upon us, and we are
grateful for the confidence placed in
us. In face of the financial embarrassment of the present condition,
we have tried to make ourselves
suffer the loss and not deduct from
the merits of the book. We beg of
you to accept this as our contribution to our Alma Mater, and see its
merits, rather than its faults.

Dr. Bennett is a graduate of the State Normal School of Kansas

and the University of New York City, holding a Master's and Doctor's
degree from the latter institution. In addition, he also did post graduate work at the New York School of Oratory.
After completing his work in New York City, Dr. Bennett (lame
west as principal and superintendent of the State Normal School of
New Mexico. Here he proved very successful in his work and it was
not long until he was called to Upper Iowa as Dean of Education. Three
years ago he came to Highland Park as Dean of Liberal Arts. In his
work here, Dr. Bennett has met with unqualified success and is deservedly popular with students, faculty and residents of the city.
Dr. Bennett has a wide reputation as an institute and chautauqua
lecturer and his services along these lines are in constant demand.

THINK clearly, deeply, conectedly and

sympathetically is the task of the collegian.
He may become a scholar if he can; but he
must become a thinker. The first function of
the College of Liberal Arts is to teach students to
think. The making of thinkers must be paralleled
with the cultivating of broad sympathies. Breadth
of outlook, richness of ideas, a sympathetic appreciation of the forces of civilization are necessary
elements of a liberal education.
Power to deal with new situations to which he
is not aecustomed ; the capacity for rapid adjustment
to changed environment; the willingness to enter
into efficient participation with the work of the
world in the service of his fellows is the ideal of this
intellectual democracy called the College.

Some thirty odd youths thirsting for knowledge ga thercd at tile portals 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-year
Sophs and three-year
.Iuniors we dedicate these pages.
Our number is not complete now and many names have been
dropped from our roll call, owing to frequent conflicts with the U-JO
commanded by Capt. Du Hadway, U-S bv Commodore 'Walters, and Detroyer D-3 under Prof. Holbrook, wrecked some of our gallant fleet.
Bombs dropped promiscuously
by Profs. ,V ebb and Zuker left others
of our band dead or dying by the wavsirle. But our lines of defense have
been closer drawn and our machines of warfare perfected until we can
cope with any drive which they mav bring lip and we hope' to sail gallantly on to victory.
In closing we wish to thank these noble commanders for their sturdy
defense against our appalling ignorance, thereby enabling us to overcome our difficulties, to gain strength and confidence in our abili tv to
fight the battle bravely on to the end.

A few year ago it was felt that in addition to the regular degree
course in Electrical Engineering a more short course was needed. A
department called the short electrical clivision was then added to the
college of engineering. This course was designed for the benefit of the
men who were either not fortunate to acquire the necessary previous
education to take up the long course or felt that they didn't have the
time to spare. When our clean, Mr. Shane, entered Highland Park he
saw the need more than ever before for such a course and immediately
made plans for the betterment of the men taking up this work.
Th next addition to the department was a man who had all the necessary practical experience and the ability to impart his technical training to the men who had not hacl the higher mathematics. After searching far and wide Dean Shane engaged Mr. Ralph Chatterton, a degree
man from Ames to take charge of the short electrics. Chat, as the boys
always called him, began at once to do big things to help the boys to succeed when they left school. The class had always been strongly organized. They have held several banquets and have always had a largo
part in the annual engineering exhibition. The 'wiring class 'has always
clone the wiring on the campus. They wired the new men's dormitory
and have done considora ble wiring around the city thereby gaining
real practical experience and getting familiar 'with the" city and underwriters' " rules for wiring.
Men that have left our department have all made good and are all
holding prominent and. well paying positions all over the world and
wish to say in conclusion that anybody contemplating taking a course
that in a short time will fit them to a better place will never go wrong by
coming to Highland Park College.

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 and
Panama, and student branches have been established in fifty-seven institutions of recognized standing.
The H. P. C. Branch was organized October 22, 1912, with a charter
membership of fifteen.
Two regular meetings are held each month
where papers are read by students and professional men. Among the
speakers in the past year were Mr. H. VV. Garner of the Des Monies
Electrical Co., Mr. N. 'lV. Lovegrove of the Herring Motor Co., and Mr.
Cunningham, representative
from the Commonwealth Edison Co., Chicago, Ill. These men presented interesting papers touching on the practical side of engineering.

The "Mortar and Pestle Club"
composed of students of Pharmacy
and Chemistry, together with the
aid of the Alumni of the College of
Pharmacy, have taken steps toward
the installation of a Scientific Library, for the benefit of students of
Chemistry and Pharmacy.
The College has donated a pleasant room, on the third floor of
Science Hall for that purpose.
The Library is to be under the
direct control of the Faculty of the
Pharmacy Department, .and the
Mortar and Pestle Club.

Ilepartmentg
PHARMACY DEPARTMENT
Dean Elbert O. Kagy has charge of this department, and
usually has all his audience alert and listening to his famous,
"Have you all got that now," quotation I He is blessed with
all the new specimen added to this department and is the first
to place them on the rough and rocky road through the course.
CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT
Inorganic Chemistry:-Prof.
Zuker toils and 'works trying to get some little reaction into a man's head, and to be
sure some bonehead usually comes up the next day and asks
what dilute H20 is. He usually greets one after examination
with 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 having
produced a fine new code of rules.
Organic Chemistry:-Prof.
J. Earle Galloway has caused
more disturbance to the sleeping organs of man than any man
on the faculty. He is the only person who really tells true
fortunes, his specialty is "that morning after the night before
stuff." Another of his famous quotations is, "Have you all
got 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 department is really the brush of department, for here Prof. J. Earle
Galloway uses the newly gathered specimens, as they should
be. The cobwebs are loosened from his gray matter, and he
feels as though the world owes him something for making
the grade.

1!lepartment~
DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY
Physiology, Botany and Bacteriology:-Prof.
French
uses his influence in trying to make people see things that
really are. He uses for his weapon an instrument termed
"microscope", and at the end of the first day in Lab. one
thinks his imagining power increased 5070. In bugology he
keeps his audience constantly awake listening to some of his
pronunciations, which seem to amuse the class.
LAW DEPARTMENT
Judge Lawrence DeGraff says, "I can't make you lawyers so I won't try." He lectures on the serious side of the
situation subsided by S01)1eevent. His voice is excellent, but
the student who does not pay attention never gets it. He gets
a wink from his master eye.

AS THE PHARMICS

READ THE BIBLE

Verily he who goeth to Highland Park College of Pha rmacy is often sorely oppressed. He shrinks with fear from
the voice of Galloway and sitteth in awe while in the presence
of Zuker and French. But blessed be the man who can sleep
with perfect ease while in the presence of Dean Kagy. He
lendeth a beaker to his nighborhood and getteth it not back.
He coloreth his countenance with massage cream. He submergeth his dough in olive oil. He anointeth his head with
cerate. His leeward optics becometh filled with ammonia gas
till he squinteth like a gopher. He splashes nitric acid on
his hand in Chern. Lab. He cometh in contact with poisonous
drugs in Pharmacognosy. Of a verity he endureth much and
complaineth little. He kisses the lips of some fair damsel at
Humboldt, 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 that
he never had more joys in his life, than at H. P. College of
Pharmacy. And in thy heart of hearts thoul 't knoweth that
he speaketh the truth.

The training of teachers and supervisors for all the various public
school positions occupies a very important place in the life and function
of the average college and university. The training must be liberal,
that the teacher may have the facts or matter in hand and at the same
time it must be special training to inculcate the elements of method and
the spirit of the teaching profession in the teacher.
This is self evident, for the teacher everywhere concerns himself
with that element called education, which reduced to its simplest and
last analysis is yet ever complex. Education deals with every phase of
modern life and calls upon the teacher to inform, to develop power, and
to regulate every activity of the youth, so that he will become a positive
contributor to the race.
The teacher has always been, and will always remain the greatest
potentiality in the world. Through the teacher the nation's government is sustained, and through him powerful national revolutions transpire. The teacher always touches the inner wholesome life of the
nation.
- The public schools are making rapid progress, and are requiring
higher standards of training and a better quality of teaching. The
teacher now, is obliged to have training and preparation for her work.
Highland Park College has long been a leading special teachers' training college. Over a quarter of a century ago it began as a Normal College and from this nucleus all the other departments of the institution
drew their sustenance for growth. It has been well said, that the potent
and far raching influence of any college springs from those who are
made into teachers.
This pa st year the Teachers' Training College has had a much
larger attendance than usual; the fine spirit and co-operation of its
various departments have contributed to a fuller and. richer college life
for every member. The following constitutes the principal state certificate 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, Commercial Teachers.
The number of students doing special training in various other
teachers' courses is also large. These courses are: State and County
Certificate course, and Twelve Weeks Normal Training, The Summer
School and Special Courses in Rural School Domestic Science, Agriculture, and Manual' Training play an important part in our work.

While thru the Hall of Memory
The past years shadows flit.
We think of all the years have bro 't ;
Rollicking mirth, adversities test,
And wonder if we've always sought
With earnest zeal to do our best.
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.
Or have we by our carlessness
Allowed ourselves to halt and shirk,
While Dame Fortune all in vain
Oalls us to a noble work.
Oh, may we always loyal be,
And may the Purple and the White
Live on and on, till H. P. O.

The entire commercial department prides-itself UPQn
having the largest dean of any department.
Not only is
he generously proportioned in stature, but he has a large
heart, a broad mind, and an inexhaustible good nature,
all of which have enabled him to. win the respect and good
will of those who. are fortunate enough to. be acquainted
with him.
He began his schooling as many of us have, in a
little country school, later attending Nora Springs Seminary where he specialized in commercial work. Then
he attended Ceda I' Falls Normal for four yea 1'8 specializing in mathematics.
He has taught at Spencer, Estherville 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 and
blessing. The Strawn family have a strong representation in Highland Park aside from the Dean, there being a
SQnand daughter attending school.
The Dean is somewhat of an inventor as well as educator, having completed an omnigraph machine for printing circular letters, which he has patented and is now
having built, and we predict that one of these machines
will eventually be in use in the Commercial Department,
as a memoriam of QUI'talented Dean.

PROPHECY
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 strife
And the wreaths of success will be the crown of your life.
-Passed by the Board of Censorship.
Harriett you look wise, please correct the error.

Who rode on a big ferris wheel,
At the twenty-first round
She looked down at the ground
And lost a good" Beanery" meal.

WORK

OF A COMMERCIAL PEN

ARTIST

<!ommercial (tClub
Since the organization of the School of Commerce, there
has existed the "Student Organization". This year, this organization has been taken over into what is known as the Commercial Club of Highland Park College.
The object of the Commercial Club is, "to promote the
interests of the students and the welfare of the School of
Commerce. It is a tie which binds the undergraduate, the
alumni and special students closer together, and makes a
greater School of Commerce. It helps to establish one's identity with Highland Park.

actibitie~
The first Commercial Affair, was a Hike to the Athenian
Woods just after school opened in September. A great number of Commercials, loaded down with goodies left the campus
about six o'clock P. M. A long "train brought them to the
woods where, a large bonfire was soon kindled, and in a very
short time passersby were attracted by the glowing fire, and
the outbursts of laughter from the merry company assured all
that a good time was being had.
Wienies and marshmallows were toasted and the early
evening was spent in playing games.
Mrs. Barton and Dean Strawn gave the Commercial Club
a very pleasant surprise, when they invited them to the home
of the latter for the evening of February 12th. About ninety
responded to the invitation. The evening was spent in games
and 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 goodIt was good.

The evening of January 20th, was an evening well remembered by every member of the Commercial organization. A
large number gathered at eight 0 'dock, in the Y. W. C. A.
rooms of Science Hall for a real social time, and it was granted
all who attended. Games of Ell kinds, music) and general conversation took up a greater part of tho time. At ten o'clock
refreshments were served. Each girl had the pleasure of entertaining two boys during this time, which made it very interesting-fot
the girls. An early hour found the Commercials all in their respective rooms, but each one felt that
never before had they had such a real enjoyable evening, and
all felt gratified that they were Commercials.
After all it is the social affairs that make us remember
the College, and makes the life worth while, as well, as the
knowledge gained through books.
March 21st, was a beautiful day and the Commercials decided, that it was entirely too niee to be wasted in toiling over
the trial balance, or shorthand notes. At three 0 'clock, a
great-band of students were seen in front of Science, and to
those who inquired_, it was said, "It is the Commercials."
What did it all mean? Could it be possible that the Commercials were getting frivolous, and were going to have an
afternoon of fun ~ The procession started, and every Commercial fell into line and marched away. A tramp had been
planned and this surely was an ideal way. Every kodak
available, was brought forth, so that the many poses, which
are characteristic of a tramp of this. kind, could be snapped,
and be looked upon in fond recollection of the happy moments
of College life, and the happy times at H. P. C.

Here's to the teacher who has sought us
In our ignorance, and has brought us
By the lessons she has taught us
To the place, where we can see,
That the means by which she lead us,
Was not alone at the space she sped us,
But with patience, and love to head us
Toward a greater supremacy.

But, when he got nearer

And expired with a terrible screech.

Are strictly up in all things social.
Business ability,
Plus sociability,

Dealt of College of Oratory

~ratorp ~epartnnent
The end of all education is soul development. Any part of one's
education that does not contribute directly or indirectly to this purpose
is lost. In the expression of that greater spiritual life around which
all other life revolves, and which only is real in the highest sense, because it is immortal, the arts hold sovereign sway. The art of Oratory
is second to none, because it has to do witu the spoken word, the greatest avenue for the expression of thought and emotion known to mankind. It is used in the transaction of the most crass commercial affairs
as well as in the interpretation of the most sublime dramatic conceptions. It naturally follows that the study of Oratory will do more toward the development of one's personality than any other agent, and
since personality is the greatest asset to any individual, the art of
Oratory is fundamental.
Highland Park College of Oratory, maintaining as it does, full
instruction in every branch of the subject from practical public speaking to the dramatic art, has staunchly upheld its ideals and standards.
With pride it points to the achievements of the third year of the present administration of its Dean, while its visions of greatness are brightened with new hope for the future.
The services of this important department in the general college
work cannot be over estimated for its value cannot be measured in the
amount of dollars and cents that are taken over its counter. Although
into every phase of the college life and play an individual part in the
promotion of the college generally. The Oratory Department supervises the spring festivals, has direct charge of the debating and punlie
speaking work, and personally c'irects dramatic affairs. Like an heroic
division of the Old Guard, it has successfully maintained its position
ill the face of great danger and against heavy odds.

When a fellow's lost his spirits,

And the work looks mighty blue
When all the other teachers
Begin to fret and stew.
When they scold about the lesson,
And just nothing's going right,
When you get so blamed peevish
That you're mad enough to fight.
And you wish the whole durned College
Was 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 crisis
When 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 i
You come right into my' office
And that blue spell won't last long".
You stop and turn abruptly,
It's Dean Atchison you see,
And he's just the jolly fellow
That 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 Ora tory Dean,
As the star of H. P. C.

ratorp Reception
On the evening of .July 22, 1916, Dean Robert Hall Atchison gave a formal reception and banquet at the Chamber-lain

Mus. D.
Dean of the College of Music
FRANK

NAGEL,

((oUege of :fflu~ic
Dr. Frank Nagel, Dean of the College of Music, has the
distinction of having been associated with Highland Park College longer than any other member of the faculty. This is the
eighteenth year of his affiliation with the college, all but four
or five of which have been spent in the capacity of Dean.
During these eighteen years he has had many hundred students and a large percentage of graduates testify to his ability
as an instructor. An evidence of their loyalty was shown at
the Alumni banquet which was held at the close of his fifteenth
year's association with the college. At this banquet there
were present one or more representatives from each of the
fifteen classes, many having come long distances to be present.
Not only is his abili ty apprecia ted among his immediate
associates but when it became necessary for the governor to'
appoint a representative from Iowa to attend the centennial
celebration of the writing of "The Star Spangled Banner,"
held in Baltimore several years ago, it was Dean Nagel who
was chosen.
As a conductor he holds a leading place in Des Moines,
having been associated with numerous orchestras and having
conducted the Women 's Club chorus for many years, aswell
as the Philharmonic choir, a civic organization which appeared in connection with leading orchestras of the Middle
West from time to time in the presentation of Oratorios.
His unusual business ability has been repeatedly evidenced by the fact that until withinthe past year or so every
artist who appeared in the city or every large musical event
which was successfully scheduled was, with few exceptions,
under the management of Dean NageL
Numerous compositions for voice as well as instruments
do credit to his skill as a composer. Of unusual interest is the
Processional, written for and used at the Baccalaureate services during the last commencement season. This Processional includes a large orchestra, solo numbers and a full
choir.
Dean Nagel holds an enviable place in the musical world
and is equally influential as performer, teacher, composer and
conductor.

IGHLAND P ARK COLLEGE has been fortunate

throughout the year in having a good band. Perhaps
nothing is as efficient in giving "pep" and tone to college spirit as a live college band. It is not only a valuable asset for pep meetings and the like, but is a necessity for
well 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 clarionet
player of note. The success of the band may be attributed
largely to the director, Dean Nagel. Mr. Nagel is a musician
who scarcely needs any introduction. Certainly not to the
readers of the Piper; but allow us to say that when it comes
to being on the job, putting the pep into th- work, and being
a real band leader, Dean Nagel deserves that credit.
A number of engagements were played during the year
in connection with football and other athletics. In January a
big concert was given in the college chapel. The Band was
assisted 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 their
time and interest to build up a musical organiza tion which
any colege and student body might justly feel proud of.

in the iIlepartment nf ausie

Long may it live
And of its genius and energy give
To students who have aspirations; and long
For the knowledge to write just the simplest song.
Not Kreisler but Sheasby each violin mocks
And each wonderous singer's a veritable Cox,
As for the piano, you all may have seen
The Young virtuosos produced by our Dean.
A trio like this is equalled by none
And among music students, is the hope of each one;
That Nagel and Sheasby and Cox will stay here
To build Highland's Music aim higher each year:

Director of Athletics

Mr. Brown came to Highland Park last year as Director

of Athletics. As Coach of our Basket Ball team he turned out
a wonderful team considering the handicap under which he
and the team had to work. Mr. Brown rounded out of a bunch
of green material a team which played to the satisfaction of
every follower of Highland Athletics. After the call for
track candidates, Mr. Brown again showed his ability as a
coach and, with a limited number of men and poor support
from the students, produced a team which reflects credit on
our Athletics.

Two games lost, one tied and foul' won tells the story of
the football-season of 1916. With" Mike" Hyland in charge
again as coach it was an assured fact that the Highland Park
team would rank well up on the list of Iowa teams.
When Jensen, who was slated for a tackle position, was
retired to the sidelines with a broken jaw and Captain MeCauley, around whom Hyland was building a strong offense,
had to drop out on account of a broken leg, the prospects for a
successful season took somewhat of a slump. Both of these
injuries coming just before the Ames game, the hardest contest of the season, left the coach in a hole, but with his usual
versatility he quickly reorganized his offense and for three
quarters the team fought the giants of the Agricultural College almost to a standstill, being scored on only once. Then
hoping to save his men from the heavy gruelling, Hyland substituted almost for the entire team and as a result two more
touchdowns were registered by the heavy Ames machine. The
game, however, was a battle from start to finish, the Highlanders playing the best quality of football that they showed
during the season until the Creighton game.
As a preliminary game of the season the Davenport
Chiropractics were played in .Des Moines but, even after substituting for nearly all of the first string, Highland Park ran
up a score of :;>9to O.
/

In spite of the pummeling of the Ames game the Highlanders took Simpson to a 19 to 7 trimming on their own field
in the mud, but when they attempted to continue the winning
streak against Cornell, the most inexcusable defeat of the
season was experienced. .Iust why it was no one seemed to
discover but it is certain that the team playedway below par
except in the third quarter after Hyland's lecture between
halves, when they got together and carried the ball across
twice, kicking one goal. But the flash was only temporary,
and on the last quarter, Cornell again took the offensive and
continued to pile up the score which was 29 to 13.
The Des Moines game was captured by the Highlanders
14 to 7 after a hard battle from both teams and from here

the team went to Toledo where they "wadedthrough the Leander Clark aggregation for a score of 29 to 7.
By this time the team seemed to be rounding into shape
again and when they arrived in Omaha for the fray with
Creighton they were going right. The game was reported as
being one of the best ever seen on the Creighton field. The
Catholics were confident of winning and had a right to be, but
after a terrific struggle when both teams carried the ball over
the goal twice but failed to count because of penalties, the
game ended in a tie.
With the exception of the Cornell game the season was
a success for Highland Park had no right to expect to defeat
...Ames. Callahan at center, Woodrow at guard and Ferrell at
end were selected for the Iowa Conference team, and Noel at
quarter and Keller at tackle were given honorable mention.
Of the twelve letter men of last fall five will return for
the nucleus of the team next fall. These are Captain elect
Michel, Greenwood, Stanley, Lewis, Rau. Jensen, who barely
failed to win his letter because of his injury, will return.
Among the freshmen who displayed first class ability"who are
to return are Lawrence, Aitken, McDowell, Bray, Bean, Ziegler, McGowan. A well balanced schedule has been arranged
and with a coach of recognized ability, McGinnis, formerly
freshman coach of Michigan University, there is no reason
why Highland Park shall not continue the high class caliber
of football that she has displayed the past two years.

Recognizing the limitations of inexperienced players and

an almost impossible place to play, it was determined to experiment with a Varsity Basketball team last season. Beginning with a squad, not a member of "whichhad ever played
in an inter-collegiate game, Coach Brown had to start work.
on the simplest fundamentals of the game, passing, basket
shooting, dribbling, etc. Even at that a schedule including
some of the strongest teams in the' state was undertaken.
After defeating the Danish College team the locals attempted to play Simpson on their huge floor. Within five
minutes Reese had to quit the game with a twisted knee mid a
big hole was left in the defense as well as the offense, for
Roese 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, the
Highlanders were always more or less confused but fought
through to the finish, losing by a score of 31 to 11. With
Reese and Greenwood both out, Highland attempted to play
Cornell on their own floor and received the worst defeat of
the season. In the one game of all games that it was desired
to win, the game with Des Moines, the Highlanders put up
the best quality of ball that they had showed during the season thus far, and after a fast and furious but remarkably
clean game, ran up a score of 27 to 15 on the Des Moines floor.
The team showed a remarkable development and had it
not been for the loss of Jensen in the middle of the second
half at Penn, Highland Park then leading by six points, would
have defeated the Quakers on their floor, but as it was they
were finally beaten by 30 to 33. Central, rated as one of the
fastest teams in the state, won decisively on their own floor
after a stiff fight. The Cheyenne Indians, an independent
aggregation touring the state, tried to take the measure of
the Highlanders but were trimmed by a score of 27 to 14.
'I'he return games of Central and Penn were the best
played and most interesting games of the season. There was
little expectation of beating Central even at home, but the
final score of 27 to 19 favoring Central hardly told the story
of the game. The Highlanders went into the Penn game determined to win. The play was terrific from the first whistle.
First one team and then the other forged. At one time ill
the second half Highland led by three points when two lucky
shots by Synhorst, the star of the visitors, and a free throw
shot them into the lead and the whistle blew before the locals
could recover, the final score being 20 to 22.
According to the newspaper reporters who reported the
Highland games and the officials who refereed, the development .of the Highland Park five was phenominal. Beginning
with only the greenest of material, working under severe
handicaps of playing accommodations, the team developed a
definite style of team play and aggressive work that won much
favorable comment from unprejudiced spectators. Their play
was remarkably clean and it could hardly be said that anyone
man was better than another, each one playing his position
as he had been taught. At that, however, Captain Rau as
standing' guard and Greenwood at forward, were awarded
honorable mention by the critics in making up the state
quintet.

, The 1916 baseball season was the most successful baseball season Highland Park has enjoyed since becoming a member of the Iowa Conference.
In 1915 Highland tried for conference championship in a
very muddled championship race and won it on a basis of
games actually played. This year, however, her claim to the
championship has never been disputed as she finished the conference schedule with but one defeat while her nearest rival
lost three games.
With Reese, Ferrell, Craven, Tallman, McCauley, Cunningham and Veach-all veterans, as a nucleus about which
to build the 1916 team, baseball prospects looked bright. From
the first call for practice, to the end of the season, there was a
hard fight for positions and the veterans were forced to deliver the goods before getting the "calL"
The new men in Highland Park baseball, Kinsey, Macomber, Callahan, Watson, Keller and Noble, were willing and
able to assume the veterans' positions at all times.
Before the schedule opened, a series of games were played
with some of the best teams in the city as well as a three game
series with the Des Moines Western Leaguers. At the conclusion of this series Nelson announced that his team was in
"mid-season" form.
Monday, April 17, the season opened with Leander Clark
at Des Moines. Captain Reese took the mound for Highland
and proceeded to shut out Leander Clark, striking out thirteen
men and allowing but three scattered hits. Craven with three
hits and Veach and Tallman each with two hits were big factors in winning the 5-0 victory.
Saturday, April 22, with Kinsey in the box, Highland
routed Coe, 14 to 3. Kinsey allowed but five scattered hits

and struck out seventeen men, while his team mates hit safely
fourteen times, Tallman leading the onslaught with three safe
blows.
Tuesday, April 25, Highland met Dubuque College at
Dubuque, and after fighting desperately for six innings, came
from behind in the seventh and won 10 to 2. A batting rally
in the ninth drove Murphy, Dubuque's star hurler, from the
mound. Highland secured nine hits while Kinsey allowed but
five and struck out seventeen men.
The following day Highland dropped a loosely played
contest to Campion College at Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin,
by a score of 10 to 1. Highland's lone tally came in the fourth
when Tallman singled, advanced to second on Macomber's
walk and scored on Reese's single.
April 29, with Reese pitching, Simpson was easily defeated in a five inning game 8 to 1. Game called on account
of rain.
May 2, with Kinsey in the box, Penn met their Waterloo.
While Kinsey was allowing but three hits, the Purple and
White crew pounded four Penn twirlers for eighteen hits.
"Rube" Cunningham led the attack with four two base hits
while Veach hit safely three times. Score, Highland Park
20, Penn 3.
May 4, Iowa 'Wesleyan were defeated 12 to 5, Reese pitching. Ferrell led with three hits.
May 9, Kinsey shut out Simpson at Indianola, allowing
but one bit and striking out fifteen men, while his teammates
annexed 11 runs, the result of fourteen blows. McCauley led
with three safe wallops.
The second defeat of the season came when Highland
lost to Morningside 9 to O. It was a pitchers battle in which
Wenig won out over Kinsey. \?i,T enig allowed but three scattered hits.
May 17, Reese pitching against the Waseda Japs allowed
but three hits while Highland landed safely ten times, winning
a six to nothing victory.
May 19, Kinsey pitching against Leander Clark, struck
out twenty-two men, allowing but one hit. Score, Highland
Park 2, Leander Clark O.
May 30, Highland defeated Coe 4 to 2. A home run by
Kinsey and pinch hitting by Callahan in the ninth, drove in
the winning runs.

In a pitchers battle between Kinsey and Byerly of Cornell, Highland was again victorious by a score of 1 to O. This
victory assured the Highlanders of the championship title in
the Iowa Conference.
The last game of the conference schedule was dropped to
Cornell 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, June
5.

Tuesday after the Ames game J olm I. Nelson banqueted

the members of the team at the Savery Hotel. Earl S. Kinsey
was elected captain for 1917.
Reese, Kinsey, Ferrell, Callahan, Cunningham, Macomber, Cronen, Tallman, McCauley and Veach were awarded
the honor "H" medals and sweaters.
Craven and Ferrell have played their full time of baseball
under the Conference ruling, four years. They have made
splendid records during their four years of service, each having won places on "all conference" teams. Both have captained the Highlanders in baseball and the loss of these valuable athletes and generous sportsmen will be keenly felt by
the, athletes and followers of Highland Athletics.
Cunningham and Tallman, both two year men, have finished their courses and will probably be absent from next
year's lineup. 'Rube' has always hit near the top and has
pitched winning ball. Tallman led the team in hitting last
year and won a place on the" all conference" team this year.
He also won the Fairweather medal, being the best all around
athlete and scholar. Their loss will be felt.
With some new material which we can always count on
getting, and seven veterans from this year, Highland can well
expect to equal her 1916 record in 1917.
The personnel of the team, however, does not alone undergo a change, for .Iohn 1. Nelson, director of Athletics and
baseball coach for the past two years, has resigned to enter
business for himself.
Nelson's retirement is sincerely regretted by the students and athletes of Highland Park College, for they well
realize what he has done for athletics. He has made many
friends while connected with the College and all wish him
abundant success in business.

OUIS D. CRULL opened his second successful track

year at Highland Park College. By order of the coach,
captain W oodrow had his men training indoors long
before the season opened. Everything was bright for
a very successful year. All the old squad were back, and several new prospects.
Coach Crull called for the first out-door practice early in
April. A large squad reported and earnest training was OIL
Highland opened its season with an inter-department
meet on the home field. Engineers were first with 45 points.
Liberal Arts second with 42; Oratories third with 40. David
Oyler won individual honors with 24 points. Woodrow second. Two Home Meet records were broken by Treacy and
Gena in the Shot Put and 220-yard dash respectively. This
meet was also a tryout for the Drake Relay' meet one week
following, of which Highland entered half and mile relay
teams.
On April 28 Highland journeyed to Indianola for a triangular meet with Simpson and Des Moines Colleges. Highland easily defeats and outclasses their opponents winning
with 67% points to Simpson 35 and Des Moines 23 4-5. Oyler
was individual point winner, with Gena, Tracy and Jensen
big point factors.
On May 5 we met Des Moines College in a dual meet on
our field. Spirit was running high for this meet. Newspapers doped Des Moines as winners. Students gave the team

a loyal support never before seen in track athletics at Highland Park College. Des Moines fought hard but could not
defeat the crack Highland team. Oyler again was individual
point. winner with Gena second and Treacy third. Treacy established a new Home Meet record in the Discus of 120 feet
5 inches.
On May 12 Highland made their annual trip to the Iowa
Conference meet at Cedar Rapids. "The day was disagreeable,
raining the whole day. No records "were broken and poor
marks were made in most every event. Treacy brought home
two firsts, the Shot Put and Discuss Throw. Woodrow won
second in the mile and Oyler finished second in the low hurdles. 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.

The Girls' Glee Club is an organization of which Highland Park
College may well be proud. It was organized shortly after the beginning of the school year and under the excellent leadership of Prof. E.
C. Cox and has achieved a most remarkable success. Its main object
has been to offer every opportunity for the advancement of voice culture, to all those who have talent for singing.
The club appeared on many of the programs during the school year
and always received a hearty applause from their appreciative hearers.

During the past year Highland Park College has continued her
membership in the State Oratorical Association with a degree of suecess of which she need not feel ashamed.
ORATORICAL CONTEST.
The preliminary Oratorical Contest was held in the college auditorium December 2, 1916. There were five contestants, Mr. Waltr Williams, being chosen to represent Highland Park College in the InterCollegiate Oratorical Contest. The title of his oration was" The New
Democracy. "
Mr. Williams won second place in the Inter-Collegiate Contest for
the western half of the state, which was held at Simpson College, Indianola, Iowa, Feb. 2, 1917. The competing colleges were Simpson,
Highland Park, Buena Vista, Ellsworth, Parsons and Morningside, the
last named securing the first place.
On March 2nd the State Oratorical Contest in which representatives of the colleges from both eastern and western sections of the state
competed, was held at Parsons College, Fairfield, Iowa. Iowa Wesleyan
won first place, and Morningside second place. The Highlanders were
by no means disheartened by this temporary reverse, for the first two
years of its membership in the Oratorical Association, Highland Park
College succeeded in winning second place in one state contest, besides
maintaining its usual enthusiastic interest. This is a good record
surely.
FAIRWEATHER CONTEST.
Through the influence of Dean Atchison, Mr. Thomas Fairweather,
one of our City Commissioners, resident of Highland Park, and enthusiastic promoter of all legitimate activities of our city offered two
gold medals to the winners of the first and second places in an Oratorical 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 more
than two thousand words, not more than two hundred of which shall
be quotations.
2. There shall be three judges on thought and composition and
three on delivery, one of whom shall be a clergyman.
3. Orations must be original, on any subject, the writer may
choose.
In strict conformity to the rules and regulations, the Fairweather
Contest was held on the appointed date, there being seven contestants
appearing in the order names as follows: George Vest, Josie Knutson,
Bertha Maltzahn, H. R Tippett, Harold Webster, Ames Williams and
J. 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 of

Mr. Fairweather.
The three winning orations were: "Preparedness," by Mr. Ames Williams, "Eternal, Sacrifice," by Mr. Harold
Webster, 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 as
follows: George Vest, J. W. Darr, Harold Webster, and M. W.
Alford. Mr. Harold 'Webster won first place, which carried with it a
cash prize of '$15.00and the honor of representing Highland Park College in the Iowa State Prohibition Contest at Ames. Second place was
awarded to Mr. Alford, with a cash prize of $10.00. Mr. Robert McNelly 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 local
honors in the Peace Oratorical Contest. They were Josie Knutson,
Lida Leslie, James L. Carpenter, Hugo Hettman, J. W. Darr, Mildred
Morris, Ames Williams, and George Vest. The first place was won by
J. W. Darr, and with it a cash prize of $10.00, and the honor of representing Highland Park College at the State Peace Oratorical Contest
held in Highland Park College auditorium, Friday, April 13th. The
second place was secured by Mr. Hugo Hettman, carrying with it a
cash prize of $5.00. Mr. Harold A. Webster presided over the local
contest.
The Oratory Club which constitutes Highland Park College branch
of the State Forensic League has a membership, active and associate
of approximately fifty. All students who are enrolled directly in the
department constitute the regular members, while all others who are
enrolled in any of the class work comprise the associate membership.
It can be said without boasting that this organization is the most
active student society on the campus. Under the immediate direction
of the Oratory Dean, it has charge of the school, and the school functions pertaining thereto. It has a written constitution which has served
as a model to the other departments of the college. The Oratory Club
meets twice a month for business and social session, while its cabinet,
consisting of the officers of the organization, meet once a week with
their Dean. Much efficient work has been done which has tended to
develop student initiative, and make for a broader and more effective
student life.
Debating has gradually won a place in the major College activities.
Both the Administration and the student body of every leading American University now support their 'Varsity Debating Teams.

Highland Park College has kept apace with progressive American

Colleges in maintaining a strong debating team. Our Alma Mater has
a forensic record of which she may justly be proud, for out of thirtyeight debates participated in, she has "von thirty-one. On Feb. 25,
1917, Highland met William .Tewell College in a single debate at Liberty, Mo. The question was: "Resolved, that the United States
should enact a law providing for a subsidized merchant marine." The
affirmative team which represented Highland, was composed of Ray
Sowers, Robert McNelly and Franklin Weston. William Jewell was
victorious by the closest possible margin, for Highland's team fought
to the last minute.
In proving herself to be in a class with William Jewell, which is
recognized as the strongest college in the debating field of the South

STAT:BJPEACE CON'rEST
At the State Peace Contest held in the College Auditorium Friday, April 13th, luck was with Highland Park College, for our Mr. J. VV. Darr, won first place with a cash prize
of fifty dollars. The title of his successful oration was
, 'PEACE

OR NATIONALISM?"

Mr. Chew who represented Simpson College received

second honors with a cash prize of twenty-five dollars. The
title of his oration was "Mars or Christ".
At 3 P. M. the delegates from the various colleges in the
Peace Association in the state met for business session in
the Y. W. C. A. rooms. The constitution was reaffirmed, and
the present officers re-elected. Highland Park College retains the Vice Presidency.
At the contest in the evening, Mr. F. VV. Weston of Highland Park introduced Mr. Balsbury of Ames College, President of the State Peace Association, as permanent chairman
for the evening.
The judges of the contest were Mr. Alexander of Ames,
Iowa, Miss Maddon of Penn College, Rev. John Gratton of
Des Moines.
