f ■—■'■ ■ ■ ■'— You can't harvest success unless yon first labor earnestly In the field of opportunity. VOLUME VII A successful business man said that he was never worried by a competitor who talked loudly. 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 (Continued on Page 3) ALPHA PII DELTA'S BREAKFAST AT SAGER'S 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 their initiation. Previous to this, on 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 Geo. C. Brown, Grand Rapids, Mich. Miss Luella Cobb, Valparaiso, Ind. J. J. Cordial, Seneca, 111. A. B. Cowing, Joliet, 111. M. H. Carmody, Grand Rapids, Mich. J. S. Donald, Madison, Wis. Vona De Crow Donald and daughter. Jas. L. Flemming, wife and daughter, Chicago. Louis J. Graf, wife and three sons, Evansville, 111. President S. C. Hartranft, Fuller- ton, Calif. Mrs. Zela Tinsley Ivey, Whiting, Ind. Mrs. Leolah Yahn Le Master, Spokane, Wash. 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- (Continued on Page 3) SIGMA THETA'S ENJOY THEATRE PARTY The Sigma Theta Sorority was entertained by its new members at a theatre party Wednesday evening, July 14. There were eighteen members present and everyone had a most enjoyable time. There will be a tea at Miss Powell's home next Saturday, July 17th, from 3 to 5. Every woman in college is cordially invited to come and get acquainted. No wise man ever gives advice until asked for it
