VALPARAISO, INDIANA, JULY 16, 1920
NUMBER 43
BOHEMIAN CLUB
GIVES SECOND HOP
SCIENTIFICS 1894 HELD REUNION HERE LAST WEEK OF JUNE
Univertity's Pride Among Social Organization, Holds Dinner-Dance
ENTERTAIN AT LONG LAKE
Bohemians Spend Memorable Evening
Amid Rustic Setting—Hold Luncheon oa Lake Shore.
Last spring the Armory was the
scene of Valparaiso's finest dancing
party, and it fell to the Bohemian
Club, the University's pride among its
social organizations, to manage and
direct it. The guests of this, club
will never forget that event, and
those that are now away will regret
that fact when news of the Bohemian
Club's second dance reaches their
ears.
Last Friday evening the members
and a bevy of fair guests from the
Hall and the city went to Long Lake
and were greeted there by a setting,
rustic In the extreme and in decided
contrast to that of the Armory event.
Artistically lighted, the rustic dance
floor took on a grotesque appearance,
and when the merry couples glided to
and fro the effect was all that could
be desired.
Brennan and Williams, musicians
de luxe, were at their best and entered into the spirit of the occasion,
the music being of such nature that
the desire to whirl and glide to the
melodious strains was irresistible. By
the lake, with a glimmer of the summer moon to add novelty to the party,
everyone forgot the routine affairs of
the University and entered the spirit
of the affair whole-hearted, with a result that was extremely gratifying to
the Bohemians.
Later, when dancing had been enjoyed for hours, the Bohemians escorted their fair guests to the lake
shore, where Mr. Miller, the well-
known restauranteur, served a delicious luncheon quite in keeping with
the occasion. Following this Toast-
master Bobby Hobbs, far famed for
his wit and joviality, presided, calling
on all for remarks. All were of an ex-
temporareous nature, but those given
by Dean Winkler, who with Mrs.
Winkler, were the chaperones, Joe
Monahan, and Arthur Boyles, seemed
to all to smack of preparation and exceptional wit. To Borne, this was the
most pleasing feature of the evening,
and the remarks, quite different
though they were in some respects, all
brought forth the fact that the success of the club would not fail to
bring forth the inspiration for another Boon. And there is no doubt in
the minds of those present that
among the first to be invited will be
the daring, dashing heroines of the

The Alpha Phi Delta girls held
their regular meeting at the sorority
rooms last Monday night. On Tuesday morning they attended Chapel in
a body. Last Saturday night the new
members were given the last degree of

Saturday evening, the sorority members, enjoyed a breakfast at Sager's
Lake. They are planning to attend
church in a body next Sunday morning. Those who completed their initiation Saturday night are Misses
Morris, Turner, Hagan, Kaskey,
Moneyhun, Stokes and Overman.
Will Meet Again At Golden Anniversary ot Valparaiso University 1923
"Well, well,   if   there isn't
 1    Why, I haven't seen you
for over twenty years 1 I declare you
haven't changed one bit, if anything
you look younger than you did the
last time I saw you."
Such was the greeting of members
of the Scientific Class ot 1894 who gathered on College Hill June 24th and
25th. In spite of the fact that plans
for a class reunion this summer were
virtually abandoned in favor of a
larger attendance at the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University, to be celebrated in - 1923,
alumni came all the way from California to meet old friends and visit
their Alma Mater again.
The classmates who met on the
Hill early Thursday morning, June
24, constituted themselves into a reception committee, and with the kindly assistance of Miss Corboy, greeted
the others who came later that afternoon and the next day. From the
time of the meeting of the first two,
the celebration was on with all the
pep and enthusiasm of twenty-six
years ago.
The members who came back to
honor their school and renew old
friendships were:
L. F. Affhauser and wife, 6527
Hermitage Avenue, Chicago.
Mrs. Dora Pierce Lehman, Madison, Wis.
0. H. Nihart, Edon, Ohio.
Mes. Mae Wiles Patterson, Gary, Ind.
These" returning alumni were first
entertained as a class by Miss Corboy
at tea served by the Domestic Science Department in their new building. One of the "boys" guessed maybe he'd missed it by taking his work
twenty-six years ago, at least when
it came to being fed by the girls of today with their improved facilities.
The classmates were most grateful
to Miss Luella Cobb for the supper
she served to all, and the very enjoyable evening spent at her home. It
seemed like old times to have Prof,
and Mrs. Kinsey with them, and they
were certainly pleased to have Mrs.
H. B. Brown come in for part of the
evening. To the pleasure of bridging
the long gap of time since last the
old friends met, was added the privilege of being entertained with several charming readings by the little
daughter of Classmate Flemming.
Those who brought their families
were Very proud to "show off" their
young progenies as evidence of what
has been "keeping them young" during the last few years. It is hoped
that at the big reunion in 1923 the
entire families may all be present.
cret, and it may show partiality, but
that was delicious Thousand Island
dressing, and President Hartranft
surprised everyone by producing a
crate of home-grown oranges direct
from California. The Cafeteria is under the efficient management of Miss
Ruth Brown, the second daughter of
Prof. Brown. That noon 565 people
were served in fifty-five minutes at
an average cost of 33 cents a person,
with a large variety of excellent food.
One with cafeteria experience from
California to New York says that in
his judgment Miss Brown's effort is
unexcelled, f
During the afternoon the visitors
adjourned to "Pa and Ma" Kinsey's
lawn to partake of their kind hospitality, and again fix the familiar
spot in their memories by having their
pictures taken there. It was also a
pleasure to again visit with Miss
Porter and Miss Baldwin. On the request of President Hartranft, Mr.
Carmody responded with a toast to
Prof, and Mrs. Kinsey, expressing the
sentiment which was in the hearts
of all who loved and honored this
great teacher and friend and his
kind and helpful wife.
At the thoughtful invitation of
Mrs. Brown, the final en semble was
held that evening at her home. The
members of the class, with the firm

Again, from remarks, it is quite evident that the beautiful June evening
was not lost to those who held memories of many other glorious evenings
years ago, of strolls along the walks
under the trees and in the shadow of
those loved "halls of learning", and
of other things—which might best be
omitted without consulting the class I
Friday was the big day. The ball
had started rolling and had gathered
such momentum that it carried everyone along with it in a gale of sociability, and at such a pace that it
could hardly be checked even by the
lament which arose at the mention of
the name of each absent classmate.
Mrs. Brown invited all the reunion-
ists and their families to the new
Cafeteria in East Hall for lunch. The
four long tables which were reserved
were decorated with wild flowers and
supplied with—it may be a dire se-
resolution of all to be present at the
next reunion, and with the hope that
the entire class may then be present,
parted with a feeling of satisfaction,
fully repaid for the effort they had
made.
At the business meeting letters
were read from those who wanted to
be present and could not, due to nines or some other unfortunate circumstance. Plans for the reunion in 1923
were laid, and the following officers
elected:
President—H. C. Hartranft.
Vice-President—J. S. Donald.
Secretary—Bertha Cobel  Stewart.
Memorial Committee—Prof. Affhauser, Dr. Flemming, and Mrs. Mae
W. Patterson, from whom the classmates will hear later, and the committee trusts that there will be a
hearty response to the request which
is to be made by them.
FINAL OLYMPIC TRIALS TODAY
Cambridge, Mass., July 16.—The
speediest and strongest of American
amateur athletes, champions of the
world, of the country and of the colleges, gathered here today for the two
days' meeting which begins tomorrow
to decide the national title holders for
this year and to organise America's
athletic forces for the Olympiad.
Ann Arbor, Mich., July 15.—Eighty
"home" letters have ' been sent out
from the Engineering College and 191
from the Literary College of the University of Michigan to parents of students whose scholarship last semester
was of such a low grade that it is
deemed undesirable that they return
to the University again. Of the 191
students in the Literary College, 17
were co-eds.
RUTH'S 29TH HOME RUN WINS
New York, July 15.—"Babe" Ruth,
star batter of the New York American
League Club, knocked out his twenty-
ninth home run in the game against
St. Louis today, equalling the major
league record he made last year. His
hit in the eleventh inning won the
game for the Yankees, there being
two men on bases at the time. The
score was 13 to 10.
HERBERT GOULD
COMING SOON
Distinguished Bass Csntante to Be Soloist in "0 Night, 0 Lovely Night"
SANG IN " ROSE MAIDEN'
Hailed As Aa Artist by Chicago Critics,
As One of America's Foremost
Vocal Artists
A rare treat will again be given the
students ot Valpo U. when Herbert
Gould, Chicago's distinguished basso
cantante, appears in a song recital in
the Auditorium, Tuesday evening,
August 3. He will also sing the solo
in the cantata "O Night, 0 Lovely
Night," to be rendered by the Ladies'
Chorus under the direction of Prof.
H. R. Roberts.
Mr. Gould was one of the soloists
in the "Rose Maiden" last term, and
all those who heard him will need no
introduction. The ease with which he
sang the solos made him at once popular with the entire audience. His
perfect enunciation, his unsurpassed
interpretation, and the splendid resonance and flexibility of his voice
prove him to be far ahead of the average concert singer.
Those who have never heard him
will need a slight introduction. The
following are excerpts from criticisms
by well-known critics on a recent recital given by Mr. Gould in Kimball
Hall, Chicago:
From the Chicago Daily Journal, by
Edward C. Moorse: "Herbert Gould
made himself known as one of Chicago's 'excellent singers up to the
year 1917. He then made a temporary professional retirement, becoming
a song leader at Great Lakes, and a
highly successful one.
"His recital last night signalized
his re-entry into the concert field. It
was well that he came back, for he rejoices in the ownership and control of
a glorious bass voice. In vigor, in
color, in range, and in flexibility, it is
as fine and attractive a maker of melody as one will hear in a whole cycle
of song recitals.
"He is also, it' would seem, in complete possession of all the apparent
nonchalance and real solicitude which
is the art of making music sound
spontaneous. He can give emphasis
to a note or a phrase in a way that
makes the hearer prick up his ears;
he can pronounce the English language in a way that shows he is coloring and warming his musical phrase
to meet the words of the text; his soft
singing is what it should be, power
throttled down; he has enough power
for any climax."
Maurice Rosenfeld writes in the
Daily News: "Endowed with a pliable, well-cultivated and resonant bas-
