Eureka College - Prism Yearbook (Eureka, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1947 volume:

q wmv THE PRISM W 1947 INTRODUCTION The 1946-47 school year has been the first normal year for Eureka College following the war. It has been an interesting year for both the: new students and those who returned after the war's interlude in their edu- cation. The new student during the year was initiated into the Eureka Tradition and the old student once again participated in the Grind, Freshl- man Walk, Homecoming and the other lighter phases of college life. It has been a pleasure for those of us who Worked together on the 1947 Prism to prepare a record in pictures and writing of the year's ac- tivities. The production of a successful yearbook goes beyond the list of the staff-it depends upon the co-operation of the whole student body. The editors wish to thank all who gave a helping hand. In particular we are indebted to Bob Bahr and Clarence Fauber, who gave us transportation when it was needed, and to John Colburn of Eureka who helped us obtain scarce photographic materials for pictures, and to President Dickinson, who gave us advice and help in shaping this book together. 92 STAFF James S.

The latest program called for the re- moval of the library to Burgess Hall and converting the former library quarters into classrooms. in 3 l 1 Probably the most familiar symbol of Eureka College to all of us is the historic college bell. The ring of its voice is heard many times during the school year, for whenever a game is won or a special event such as Flunk Day is to be announced, laughing students never hesitate to pro- claim the news With its loud clanging.

CLASSES SENIOR CLASS A busy year ended for the Senior Class of 1947 when We graduated in June. Early in the fall, Freshman Walk and Flunk Day had to be planned and carried out While the beautiful fall weather pro- vided nice nights and Warm, sun- shiny days. Winter brought a lull to Se- nior Class activities, but the members of the class found many activities to engage in and before We knew it, it was spring and time to hide the fruit cake, order graduation announcements and carry out the many other items that came up. Late in May, We decided to take a rest from our studies and Work, so Senior Skip Day took us to Lake Bloomington for a picnic and a day of relaxation. We were guests of honor at the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. Ourifinal meeting as a class before graduation evening occurred at 'the Senior Break- fast and Alumni Dinner. Now, as we enter the ranks of alumni of Eureka College, We breath a sigh of relief and also a sigh of regret, that our busy, but happy, college days are over.

Near the beginning of the year we chose Sue Atkins for our president, Jack Swanson as our vice president, and Rue Cofoid and Carolyn Vissering as secretary and treasurer. The first notable item of' achievement was the finding of the Seniors' fruit cake and enjoying the ice cream and coffee they had to furnish. We gave the Seniors a rousing send-off with a banquet and a "Diamond Horseshoe" dance. Now we are looking forward to a still busier Senior year with all the activities and responsibilities that it involves.

SOPQHOMORES For the past year, we have done our best to leave an impression of ourselves around Eureka College Campus despite the fact that we have been very quiet about it. The members of our class plunged into campus activity with a will and, We might add, a ring and a vow, for our class boasts many married stu- dents and engaged couples. Being the mad and merry group we are, we are looking forward to working together on the many activities that will claim our time in the next two years of college life.

FRESI-IMEN Since We are the largest class in the college, it is almost impossible to find a campus activity that some of us haven't been in-athletics, forensics, dramatics, Greek organizations, and many others. After one year at Eureka We feel that We can capably help carry on campus traditions and fun, and leave college with the distinction of per- haps being the largest class ever to graduate from Eureka College.

Students at Eureka are particularly fortunate in both a rich tradition and a closely knit, Well-acquainted group to carry them out. From the beginning rush off Freshman Week, until the close of the ivy ceremony at gradua- tion, it has been a busy and fruitful year for the students and their many organizations. The Grind, Freshman Walk, Flunk Day, Homecoming, Win- ter Formals, the Heart Sister Dance, Spring Formals, and the Junior-Senior Prom were all highly successful activities of the past year. Looking to the one World of today, a drive for aid of foreign students was sponsored by the World Student Service Fund and went over the top both in dona- tions and in the most successful all-school party of the year. The following pages are a, View of some of our traditions, activities, and organizations- a very important part of the campus 'neath the elms. TI-IE GRIND AND FRESI-IMAN WALK About a week after school started, President Dickinson let us know that we were to participate in one of the oldest customs of the campus. The Grind, which is the Eureka way of becoming acquainted with new students and faculty members, was held on Saturday night, September 21, in the gym. After the grind, you know what the politician's arm feels like after a big campaign, and really feel that you have been well introduced to your fellow classmates. The whole affair was followed by a dance with music by recordings. This was the first of many gay parties sponsored by various campus groups-certainly a fitting beginning for the new school year. The night of October 2, a docile freshman class co-operated with the mighty seniors in order to remove a little of the green so common to freshmen. The idea was simply to give the new collegiates a bit of a hard time. Very definitely they paid homage to the seniors during the course of the evening, and entertained them with various stunts. This was the night that Angie showed her ability as a football player. Carlos Mendez almost knocked himself out cheer- leading, and more than one young man went through the motions of pinning diapers on officially helpless females. As each group finished their stunt, they were taken to waiting cars, given their ride O-U-T, and told to find their way back when and if they could. Arriving back in Eureka sometime in the wee hours, most-freshmen felt thor- oughly initiated. . i FLUNK DAY Sl-IENANIGANS The old tradition of Flunk Day is dear to the hearts of the Eureka College students, although some visitor to Ye Olde College might accuse us of madness. The Seniors set THE day-October 9 this year- all unknown to the poor under- classmen. Heinie blew the whistle at the steam plant and we all gathered at the chapel. Remember? The freshman boys dressed as little girls, the freshman girls dressed as little boys, sophomore boys as Daisy Mae's and girls as Li'l Abner's, and the juniors dressed as babies. Transformed students walked to town or became part of a snake dance led by "Miss" Slagle. Around the stoplight with much supposed dignity, the lordly Seniors fwho incidentally were privileged to ride up town in carsj required "Allahs" from the underclassmen. Before our walk to Flunk Hill, we stopped to sing favorite college songs at the high school. When we had all arrived, there was the traditional tug-o-war across Walnut Creek. The Sophomores got dunked, not once but twice. Mrs. Deiker and a few seniors prepared the delicious bar-b-ques, baked beans, cookies and apples served at our picnic luncheon. Following some more horseplay and general sociability, we enjoyed a free movie and saw slides of last year's Flunk Day at the Woodford Theatre. There was a dance that night at the gym. Outside, falling comets were visible, but each swain was primarily interested in the sweet young thing in his arms. By ten, the time of parting had come--at Lida's Wood and Magdalene Hall. Here ' the technique is still the same. If you don't know about it, drop over to the Wood or Hall about ten some night and see it-very educational. The underclassmen figured they'd had a big day and the seniors were proud of the successful day they had planned.

After considerable planning by the Student Council and arrangement of final details, November 8 Was announced as the date for the Eureka College Homecoming of 1946. The first all-school activity was started by a fine stunt night at the chapel. Evidently the Tekes' pseudo quiet evening really stole the show, but the Delta Pi's dramatization of how "We Girls Play Football" was also terrific. All stunts were especially good this year. Homecoming Queen Shirley Rankin was crowned by Dr. Charnock and presented with flowers. The Queen and her Attendants, Dorothy Klas- sovity and Mary Jean Mailloux, were selected by the football team. A big bonfire back campus was the scene of much cheering and singing by Eureka students following the stunts. Homecoming decorations, the result of much hard work, were ready for the judges by Friday, November 8. First prizes went to Phi Omega Sorority and Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity. In our Homecoming football game the Red Devils clashed with Prin- cipia Saturday, November 9, emerging victorious by a 13-6 score. At 7:00 o'clock in the high school auditorium, the three-act play, f'The Show Off", starring Gregory Josseck, Wanda Sheely and Winifred Topal, was presented to the Homecoming audience. Final tallies at the all-school dance following the play proved the Delta Zeta Sorority and the Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity the winners of the 1946 Homecoming Trophies.

THE FESTIVAL BLOOMS AGAIN l P LEFT COLUMN - Queenie of T.K.E.g Delta Pumpkin Pig RIGHT COLUMN, College Floatg Phi O'sg an enterprising gang. In the mammoth Pumpkin Festival parade on September 28, six floats from Eureka College and its organizations showed the ingenuity of their makers and the interest of the faculty and student body in this great community project. Dr. Dickinson drove the car that pulled the Eureka College float. The lamp of knowledge burned brightly with the names of various subjects in- scribed around it. The float was "ornamented" with college students. Anyone hoping to see any feminine beauty in the Teke float was rather severely disappointed 5 however, this defect was more than made up by feminized males including Greg Josseck, Dick Topal, Bob Bada, Bob Nelson, and George Whitcomb. The Delta Pi Sorority really did themselves up proud for the Festival. Their float was a Delta Pumpkin Pie which looked highly edible-especially with Eleanor Schumacher in the middle. It was the Lambda Chi fraternity that gave us the idea that they were trying to find the secret of making pumpkin-all to no avail. It was plain to see that by the efforts of bewhiskered Foley, Slagle, McMahan, Edwards and Fee that they were able to make synthetic nylon, and tires, and were able to split atoms, but were unable to make pumpkins. Our friends, the Phi Omegas, came through with "Maggie Hall" as the topic for their float. Dot Klassovity was chained to a miniature Magdalene Hall while Gladys fHousemotherJ Regnier kept guard with keys, and a clock with hands pointing to 10 p. m. I Finally Delta Zeta sorority showered the public with ea float of artistic beauty in the theme of an immense pumpkin blossom and feminine beauty in the forms of B. J. Paxton, Barbara Schmidt, Carol Land, and Nelle Baxter. TI-IE JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM I "I 1 1 l 1 i 1 1 l l 1 1 1 1 1 1 w 1 w i I 1 Ei kb L i .

The Student Council of Eureka College, composed of two members of each fraternal group, two persons from the independent groups, one faculty member, and the President of the College, formed the nucleus of all the committees for all-school activities. From this group the committee heads for the homecoming are chosen. The WSSF drive was fully discussed and voted upon by the council before it was taken over by the special committee. Throughout the year, this group appointed committees for all-school dances, parties, concessions, cheerleading, elections, and also took care of many of the awards and honors that were awarded at the end of the school year. This is the first year since the war that the Student Council has been active. The Women's Council of Eureka College, composed of two girls from each sorority, two girls from the independent group, two faculty members, and the two housemothers, met the first and third Mondays of every month to discuss and vote on problems in the dormitory. This group voted on all restrictions that were to be made to the girls for misdemeanors. All rules and regulations were made by this group. This group also sponsored such affairs as "coffee after dinner" or "fruit juice before dinner", this affair took place once a month in Lida's Wood parlor. Special season of the year programs were presented at this time. The big affair sponsored by the Women's Council was the Heart Sister Week, Banquet and Dance.

The Student Christian Fellow- ship was organized three years ago for the purpose of inspiration and fellowship. The group meets each Wednes- day morning at 7 a. m. at the Christian Church. Breakfast is served by a committee of four. Following breakfast the group gathers for a worship service and a talk given by a guest speaker or a student. The closing moments are traditionally spent in medita- tion led by Donald Salmon, min- ister of the church, as the group gathers in a friendship circle. This year as a special project the Fellowship paid for a package of food which was sent to a needy family in Europe. Officers are chosen each term. Mary Alice Goode Was elected to serve as chairman for first term during 1947-48, Helen Louise Laws is Vice Chairman and Raymond l Hubbert Secretary-Treasurer. RELIGION MAJOR FELLOWSHIP Last year, under the leadership of Dr. Moore, the Religion Major Fellowship was established for the purpose of meeting to discuss prac- tical problems of the ministry. This year the Fellowship was strengthened When Mr. Harold Wiltz came to the faculty at Eureka to serve in the de- partment of religion. The membership of the Fellowship has increased considerably this year, as more students who plan to enter the Christian ministry or other phases of the work of the church have enrolled in the college. With the increase in membership has come a parallel increase in activity and projects. Near the first of the year we sponsored an all-campus clothing drive for needy families in Europe. We also sponsor 15-minute devotional serv- ices held each Monday and Friday morning before classes. The leaders for these services are chosen from the entire student body and all are welcome to attend. We meet each Tuesday evening for our regular meeting. After a brief worship service and our business meeting we discuss some problem relative to the work of the church. Often we welcome out-of-town guests to speak to us. Although these meetings are primarily for instructional purposes, we do have our lighter moments of fun. On May 20 we met to help Dr. and Mrs. Moore celebrate their new home and spent an evening playing games and eating ice cream with them. Many of this group participate in the gospel team programs, going to different churches in the state where they conduct services under the leadership of Mr. Wiltz. About twenty of the men of this group are serving as student pastors in various churches of the state. The officers of the Fellowship are: Scott Simer, chairman, Helen Gilbert, vice chairman, Genevieve Seeley, secretary. Evert Millard served as program chairman for the Tuesday evening meetings, Bonnie Thornton as chairman of the refreshment committee, and Enos Nelson as chairman of the devotional committee.

The school's first football team since 1942 Went undefeated against Illinois competition, both their losses coming at the hands of Mis- souri foes. In basketball Eu- reka boasted one of the state's better teams, Winning 18 games and grabbing the Pio- neer Conference's first cham- pionship. After a slow start, our baseball team too, hit high gear and won 5 of their last 7 games. So all in all, it Was a pretty successful year for Coach Barrow and his athletes. Many of the stars on this year's teams are underclass- men and the school is looking forward to seeing them back again next year. Eureka this year joined with Shurtleif, McKendree, and Quincy Colleges in form- ing the Pioneer Athletic Con- ference. Professor Griif La- throp was elected the first president of the conference. FOOTBALL WON 2 - LOST 2 - T'IED 2 Eureka engaged in intercollegiate football for the first time since 1942 and came through with a speedy eleven that gave a good account of itself every time out. A small squad gave Coach Barrow little chance to give his regulars much relief during a game and as a result most of the players saw heavy duty from beginning to end. Injuries to Bob Houser and Roger Harris during the season hampered the Red Devils considerably. With ten of the lettermen freshmen and sophomores, hopes are high for a good season again next year. Kalmar Schneider. senior end from Eureka, was elected honorary captain of the 1946 squad. Lyle Sutton, freshman end from El Paso, led the Eureka scoring with three touchdowns and five conversions for twenty-three points. Sutton missed only one placement in six attempts. The following received letters: Kalmar.Schneider, Eureka, Herb Hasenyager, Walnut, George Whitcomb, Barrington, George Waggoner, Shelbyville, Roger Harris, Chicago, Howard Hillman, Rockford, John Pontius, Eureka, Leo Traister, Rock Falls, Bob Albertson, Flanagan, Don Dean, LeRoy, Fred Millard, East Peoriia, Bob Nelson, Chicago, Les Richards, Chicago, Lyle Sutton, El Paso, Dick Kilpatrick, El Paso, Jack Stimpert, El Paso, Jerry Short, East Peoria, Bob Houser, East Peoria, Carl Schmitt, East Peoria, Wilbur Whicomb, Barrington, John Wood, Eu- reka, Bob McCarthy, White Hall. Provisional Letters: Bill Morrow, Eu- reka, Bill Poorbaugh, El Paso. Eureka 20-Aurora 6 1H0meJ. The Red Devils got the season off to a successful start by downing the Aurora College eleven under the lights at the high school iield. Bob Houser carried the pigskin over for the first Eureka score and Lyle Sutton converted the extra point from placement. Aurora came back for a touchdown but Bob McCarthy threw a pass to Sutton in the end zone and Sutton teamed up again on a successful pass in the second half after Herb Hasenyager had put the Spartans in the hole with a long punt that rolled out on the Aurora 8-yard line, to give the Red ,Devils their final score. Eureka 7-Carthage 7 CAwayJ. Though they dominated play through- out, the Red Devils weakened in the final minutes to permit Carthage to score and gain a tie. Though they were inside the Carthage 20-yard line consistently, Eureka could push across a touchdown only once. Eight plays after the opening kickoff Houser raced around end for the Eureka TD and Sutton converted. Before the quarter ended the Red Devils were back in scoring territory but a fumble cost them another tally., The second half was much the same story. A long Carthage pass clicked and the extra point tied the score. Eureka brought the kickoff back strong and were on the Carthage 19-yard line when time ran out. Culver-Stockton 14-Eureka 6 CHomeJ. Culver's ace halfback, Milt Moore, proved too elusive for the Red Devils, scoring both the Missouri school's touchdowns, the second on a 40-yard punt return. Fred Millard shot a bullet pass to Hasenyager for the only Eureka tally in the first half. The Red Devils threatened throughout the last half but the Culver line held when Eureka got near pay dirt. Kirksville 13-Eureka 0 fAwayJ. For the second straight week, Eu- reka met a Missouri .foe and the North Eastern Teachers squad proved themselves the toughest team on the Red Devils' schedule. Despite the magnificent play of the outweighed Eureka line, the Red Devils could not push across a score and suffered their only shutout of the season. The Kirksville crew had too much reserve strength for the Maroon and Gold. The Eureka line played a hard game with Jerry Short being outstanding. Eureka 7-ShurtleE 7 CAwayJ. The Eureka attack again started out in high gear, then bogged down and stalled completely. The Red Devils scored early with Sutton taking a pass for a six pointer and making his placement good. Shurtleff came back to tie things up and the two evenly matched squads battled to a standstill the rest of the way. Eureka 7-Principia 6 CHOmecomingj. The Red Devils made Eureka's first post-war homecoming a tremendous success by snatching a thrilling one point decision from Principia. Bob McCarthy intercepted a Principia pass in the final period and ran it back sixty yards to the visitors' twelve- yard line. Three plays later Millard was over and Sutton kicked the all- important extra point. Principia took the kickoff and marched down the field and over the Eureka goal in eight plays. On the conversion attempt the Red Devil line opened up a big hole and Dick Kilpatrick scooted through to block the kick 3 a Principia back picked up the loose ball and was headed goalward when George Waggoner brought him down. Eureka received and heldlon-grimly till the final gun sounded, bringing the season to a successful conc usion.

BASKETBALL W O N 1 8 - L O S T 5 PIONEER CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS STATE PLAYOFF ENTRANTS This year's Red Devil cagers compiled one of the most successful records in many years at Eureka, winning eighteen out of twenty-three contests, capturing the Pioneer Conference's first championship by taking all six conference games and entering the state playod for the second straight year. Eureka completely dominated the new con- ference, scoring the most points of any league team and placing three men, Ed Thommen, centerg Dick Broers, forward, and Warren Col- lier, guard, on the all-conference team. Thom- men, who led the league's scoring with 107 points in six games, was a unanimous choice for the all-star center position. Max Chasteen was named to the all-conference second team and Lyle Sutton to the third squad. Frank Kovack was given honorable mention. This year's Red Devils scored 1275 points for an average of 55.4 per game, while holding opponents to an average of 48.5 per contest.

With the score tied at 52 all at the end of regulation time the Red Devils scored 16 points in the 5 minute overtime to gain the decision. Eureka 54, Carthage 51 CHomeJ. The local fans .saw another thriller as the Red Devils won their third game in four nights, downing a strong Carthage squad by three points. Tral- ing 26 to 25 at halftime, Eureka put on a sparkling second half offensive to top the Red- men. Eureka 49, Chicago Teachers 48 CAwayJ. Second overtime in a week. Eureka 56, Aurora 48 CAwayJ.

The Red Devils breaker to the Macomb lads after putting on a Western led 26-21 61, Eureka 55 dropped a heart- gallant last half comeback. at halftime. Eureka came roaring back and were leading by six points with four minutes to go when the roof caved in. Eureka 60, Shurtleff 53 CHome-Conferencel. Eureka moved to within one game of the Pio- neer title by downing the rugged Alton crew for their fourth conference win. Eureka 59, Aurora 50 CHomeJ. Eureka had an easier time than the score would indicate. Eureka 61, Quincy 54 CAway-Conferencel. Eureka became the Pioneer Conference's first cage champs with a championship display of basketball in the Quincy armory. The Red Devils dominated play from the opening whistle till the final gun. Holding a 34 to 24 halftime margin, the Red Devils eased up until the Hawks pulled within 4 points. Eureka baskets quickly quenched the uprising and the Red Devils walked off the court with the title. Eureka 52, Chicago Teachers 51 CHomeJ. The final home game of the season lacked nothing in the way of excitement. Trailing 30 to 18 at halftime, the Red Devils saw the deficit mount to 15 points before they could get hot and overcome the Chicago lead. Western 59, Eureka 50CAwayJ. The Leather- necks become the only team to hand the Eu- reka team two defeats by again tripping the Red Devils. Broers made 13 free throws with- out a miss and led the Eureka scoring with 17 points. Eureka 74, McKendree 65 CAway-Conferencel Eureka finished thir conference record with 6 wins and no losses as they downed a sur- prising McKendree five. Leading 39 to 31 at the half, the Red Devils found themselves trailing eight points with only six minutes to go, before they could put on a final offensive for the victory.

Attempting to gain a berth in the national playoff tourney in Kansas City, the Red Devils were stopped by the fast- breaking Charleston quintetf Ed Thommen racked up 24 points but the rest of the Eureka players were cold at the hoop and just could not get started. Eureka trailed by only one point at halftime but tired in the last half. The Charleston team defeated Millikin two nights later to advance to the Kansas City tournament. Lettermen Max Chasteen, Ed Thommen, Warren Collier Carl Waggener, Lyle Sutton George Waggoner, Fred Millard, Dick Broers, Bill Poorbaugh BASEBALL Just about everything that could happen to plague a ball team hap- pened to the Red Devils this season. Ed Thom- men, only southpaw hurl- er on the squad, suffered a skull fracture in the second game of the year in a freak accident, when 1 he was felled by a thrown ball and was lost 5 . - for the season. Lyle Sut- ton, righthanded pitcher and first baseman, suf- fered injuries in an auto accident and was ham- pered all season by its effects. These injuries plus unusually rainy weather held up the pro- gress of the Eureka crew. Yet, despite these misfortunes, the Red Devils rallied after losing their first four games to win 5 out of the last 7 contests. Fred Millard, fiery catcher from East Peoria, was elected hon- orary captain by his teammates at the end of the season. Dick Broers led the hitters with a .385 average followed by Millard with .378. Bob Houser batted .351 and Bud Emmert .306. Bob Specht turned in an out- standing pitching performance, winning four games against only one loss. The following men were nominated by Coach Barrow for letters: Lyle Sutton, Bob Houser, Bob Woodin, Dick Broers, Bob Nelson, Bill Spencer, Bud Emmert, Herb Hasenyager, Leo Traister, Bob McCarthy, Fred Millard, Bob Specht, Ed Thommen, and Don Silk. Normal 14-Eureka 3. The seasoned Normal nine proved too tough for the Red Devils in their 1947 debut, smashing out 14 hits at the expense of 3 Eureka hurlers. Bud Emmert and Dick Broers each made two hits for the Red Devil cause. - r g f Monmouth 7-Eureka 2. Ed Thommen, Eureka's southpaw hurler, was hit on the skull by a thrown ball in the second inning of this game and carried unconscious from the field. The shaky Red Devils gave up six runs in the inning after Thommen left. Lyle Sutton held the Monmouth crew runless the last live innings but that unfortunate second settled the issue. Emmert went 3 for 4 to pace the Eureka attack. Concordia 7-Eureka 3. Costly fielding errors brought the Red Devils downfall in this one. Bob Woodin garnered 2 hits in three attempts to lead the Eureka hitters. Quincy 4-Eureka 3. The Hawks scored three times in the first inning and added one in the second to nose out the Red Devils by one run. After a wobbly start Don Silk settled down to hurl fine ball for Eureka. Bill ipelnger had three hits in 4 times at bat to take hitting honors for the e 8V1 s. Eureka 11-Lewis College 1. The Red Devils smashed out 12 hits to get on the victory trail with a vengeance. Bob Specht held the Lewis nine to three hits, while Fred Millard, Bob Houser, Bob Nelson, Emmert, and Broers each collected 2 hits. Eureka 13-Lewis College 4. Eureka made a clean sweep of their twin bill with Lewis, wining the second game behind the pitching of Herb Hasenyager. Hasenyager also slashed out two hits, as did Nelson and Spencer. Normal 27-Eureka 6. Ouch! In a comedy of errors the Red Devils suiered their worst defeat of the season. The Normal nine scored in every inning but one as they rolled over the injury-riddled Red Devils. Broers, Spencer and Houser each got two hits for Eureka. Eureka 2-Shurtleff 1. Behind Specht's brilliant four-hit pitching, Eureka topped Shurtleff at Alton. Broers' third inning single drove in both Eureka runs. Eureka 6-Shurtled 4. Scoring all six runs in the third inning, the Red Devils took the opening half' of a doubleheader with Shurtleff. Specht again hurled the Maroon and Gold to victory and Broers paced the hitters with three hits in as many times at bat. Shurtleff 15-Eureka 6. The Pioneers came back in the second half of the double bill to avenge two previous defeats. Houser with three hits and Millard with two led the Red Devil attack. Eureka 6-Quincy 1. The Red Devils came up with their finest per- formance of the season in the final game to hand Quincy's Hawks their only loss of the year. Specht again turned in a sterling mound performance backed up by airtight fielding and solid hitting on the part of his team- mates. Bob Woodin snared a Quincy liner with two men on in the seventh and threw to Sutton on first, who doubled the runner and then tossed to Broers at second for a triple play, to choke off a promising rally by the visitors. Specht, Nelson, and Hasenyager collected two hits apiece for the winners.

SOCIAL ORGANIZATIGNS -.., l Because men are essentially social beings the fraternities and soror- ities came into existence and grew to importance on the Eureka scene. Emerging stronger than ever from the war years, the Greek organizations form an integral and valuable part of most Eureka student life. The record on the following pages represents not only a good time but the Worth-While results of students who in joining a social organization and assuming the obligations and responsibilities, share in its benelits. To a lesser degree the Independent men and Women also organized into groups which took an active interest in social events. DELTA DELTA PI Delta Pi's returning to Eureka in September, 1946, included thirteen actives and one pledge. Four girls were formally pledged at a formal ban- quet at the Presbyterian church. Within two months, three other girls were also pledged. The Pumpkin Festival was the source of much work and fun. Our "Delta Pumpkin Pi" won fourth place among non-professional floats. In October, the pledges honored the actives and their dates with a Weiner roast. Weeks of thought and preparation finally produced our homecoming stunt, satirizing the Principia football team. At a tea on Sunday afternoon, Miss Greene, our new patroness, was introduced. The first initiation of the year raised three girls to the higher rank of actives. Our "Honky Tonk Ball" celebrated the occasion. 1 The annual Christmas party was held at the home of Mrs. Robert? Klaus. The pledges entertained with a stunt adapted from Dickens? "Christmas Carol," portraying Scrooge as an active. Our Christmas sere- nade followed. On February 8, five girls were formally initiated. A formal dinner and dance were held in Lida's Wood dining room which was decorated with balloons of many colors. Music for the dance was provided by Paul Reid and his orchestra. Almost every mother was present for our annual Mother's Tea. Our mothers were lively participants in games played at a party the preceding nightw Fourteen girls were guests of Delta Pi the following weekend at a dance at Magdalene Hall. A tea was given by the alums for Mrs. Robert Quick, an alumna, and Mrs. Myrta Pearson Ross, a charter member. Mrs. Quick sent us a pleasant surprise in the form of a picture for the corridor. The highlight of the year was our Spring formal dinner dance at the Jefferson Hotel in Peoria. Toastmistress Lynn Ward introduced our new president, Carolyn Vissering. Herman Hampy and his orchestra furnished music for the enjoyable event. The thirty-seventh annual birthday dinner this year was a success. It was nice to see so many alums back. We can long remember this year as being an extremely successful one. Delta Pi proved to be stiff competition in sports, and all other campus ac- tivities. Throughout the year we maintained a high scholastic record. As we look back on this year 1946-47, our spirits rise and they soar even higher as we glance into the future of Delta Pi. 1 9 4 6 - 4 7 Lynn Ward Marion Rogers Patricia Melberg Ann Adams Betty Soucy Carolyn Vissering Sarah Wiggins Marilou Slagel Mary Jean Mailloux Ann Adams OFFICERS President Secretary Treasurer Corresponding Secretary Social Chairman Chaplain Marshall Custodian Rush Captain Pledge Sponsor 1 9 4 7 - 4 8 Carolyn Vissering Marilyn Dolan Sarah Wiggins Hilma Baughman Lois Sterrenberg Eunice Greider Eleanor Sterrenberg Helen Louise Laws Eleanor Sterrenberg Lois Sterrenberg TOP PICTURE, FRONT ROW: JoAnne Barcroft, Angela Dearduff, Sarah Wiggins, Marilyn Dolan, Irmgard Rosenzweig, Marilyn Ward.

PI-II OMEGA September brought ten activie members of Phi Omega back to Eureka, with plans for another year. The year started off with three rush parties which turned out to be great successes, thanks to our alums and pat- ronesses. Six new girls were pledged and honored at the annual pledge banquet held in the Parish Hall of the Christian Church. The next sixteen Weeks were interesting for the pledges as they served their pledgeship and looked forward to the day they would be actives. Before they were initiated they experienced what is known as "Hell Week." Formal initiation was February 6, in the Chapel of the Christian Church. This school year was packed full of fun and laughter for every mem- ber, for we experienced many things together. When October rolled around, we started things off with a hay-ride. All the girls and their dates had a good time under the light of the silvery moon. In November we had our fall Novelty Party, the theme being "Hunter's Holiday," due to the hunting season. The Wood was gaily decorated with corn stalks, pheasants, ducks, and a "pot-bellied" stove. At Christmas time we serenaded the Fraternity houses. Many of the favorite Christmas carols were sung. Before the Christmas holiday the pledges honored the actives with a Christmas party in the Phi O Chapter Room. On February 1, we held our Sweetheart Formal in Lida's Wood and on the following day we had our Birthday Dinner. The week-end was really gigala affair, with the dance and the returning of many alums for the inner. St. Patrick's Day brought a party from our alums. Patronesses, alums, and actives all had an enjoyable evening, playing games and singing Irish tunes. The Phi O's and their dates were honored with a spaghetti dinner given by two of their patronesses. After those April Showers, May 1 rolled around, bringing the Phi O's May Serenade. Each of the fraternity houses was presented with a dec- orated May basket full of candies and fiowers. Then came the main event of the year. Naturally we mean our Spring Formal, which was our first since the war. It was held at the Pere Mar- quette in the LaSalle Room. We all agree that it was a great success. Closing the school year, we invited our mothers for the week-end. We honored our mothers with a tea on Sunday afternoon, in the parlor of Magdalene Hall. After the program and refreshments, we adjourned to our corridor and talked of the good times we had had throughout the year. During the entire year. we also had several house dances, the last one being held with the Delta Pi's. Also we celebrated birthdays and five engagements with spreads and parties. In sports our teams showed outstanding abilities by winning first in volleyball and badminton and taking second place in bowling. We also received honors during Homecoming by taking first place for our house decorations and getting honorable mention for our float. Now that the year has come to a close, we are sorry to leave but are already planning the days we will share together here at Eureka, meeting new friends and enriching our old friendships, next year.

DELTA ZETA Last September found the members of Pi Chapter of Delta Zeta re- newing old friendships and planning a busy year. At the end of rushing we pledged twenty-two girls. Later in the year we pledged Alma Gros- venor, Geraldine McCoy and Betty Jane Marbry- The first big event of the year was the Pumpkin Festival, September 27 and 28, in which we entered our float. It featured a huge pumpkin blos- som carrying out the theme: "The Festival Blooms Again." During Homecoming ceremonies, one of our pledges, Shirley Rankin, was crowned Homecoming Queen. We were also proud to receive the Homecoming trophy this year. After this suuccessful beginning we found our busy winter months highlighted by our winter formal December 6. "The Crystal Ball' was held at Lida's Wood. C February 16 we had our Birthday Dinner celebrating Pi Chapter's thirtieth year on Eureka Campus. After a short program the Ideal Active Ring was awarded to Amelia Mancuso, and the Ideal Pledge Ring to Sally Schlemmer. Lois Bankston received the Scholarship Bracelet for achieving the highest scholastic average in the pledge class. Early this spring we had a Mother's Tea. It was a lot of fun enter- taining and becoming acquainted with each other's mothers. The climax of the year was our spring formal held May 23 at the Peoria Country Club. Following dinner, members and guests danced to the music of Herman Hampy's orchestra. There were many engagements and marriages this year: Betty Jane Paxton and George Waggoner, Evelyn Teel and Jim Williams, Nelle Baxter and Robert Shearl, Kathie Harding and Robert Megginson, Geraldine Mc- Coy and Bill Morrow, and Marion Hild and Bill Taylor. Shirley Rankin and Edwin Kroeger were married soon after the close of the school year, Bess Fifield will soon be Mrs. Walter Lund, and Barbara Schmidt will marry John Pontius. We had many happy times together this past year and we are sorry to leave but we're looking forward to another successful year in Delta Zeta.

In 1926 this local fraternity became the first Illinois chapter of Theta Kappa Nu national fraternity. In the fall of 1939, Theta Kappa Nu and Lambda Chi Alpha, realizing that their aims, ideals and organizations were more or less parallel, merged under the name of Lambda Chi Alpha, forming the third largest fraternal group in the Greek World. We now have 116 chapters in the United States and Canada, giving us the distinction of being the largest international fraternity. Our alumni are leaders in all Walks of life. Lambda Chi's take an active interest in all academic functions-scho- lastic, athletic, music, debate, dramatics, student government, extra- curricular, and social. Six of our men were on the varsity football team, Kalmar Schneider being its captain, five Lambda Chi's were active on the basketball squad, five were members of the baseball team, Fred Millard holding the position of captain. We can boast that four of our men had leading parts in school plays, and four others were active members of our local forensic department. Several of our members contributed their talents to the music department, a number of them singing in the chapel choir, and Charles Larson being one of the members of the college quartet. George Waggoner held the position of vice president of the student council, Bob Smith was elected to that office for the coming school year. Bill Slagle was editor of the Peg. We are proud of the fact that our chapter won the homecoming trophy last fall, winning first place on house decorations and floats, and second place on the homecoming stunt. Our social season was unusually successful. The highlight was "Ye Olde Pigge Feste," a dinner dance held in the best Old English tradition and atmosphere. During the year We held a Father and Son Banquet, a Mothers' Tea, four tea dances, five smokers, and numerous house dances. The climax of the social season was the annual spring formal held this year at the Peoria Country Club. During the course of the year, we initiated twenty-seven pledges. Our greatest strength found us with forty-five active members, one associate member, and two pledges.

The third floor of Vennum Science Hall served as our home and meeting place this past year. We started the activities off right with the appointment of competent PAL's to the Student Council. The old yellow harvest moon soon called us out and we serenaded those lovely ladies of Magdalene Hall and Lida's Wood. Homecoming was in the air and the fellows chased the moths out of the football togs, gave up the night life, and ran off a little excess avor- dupois. Our Homecoming shenanigans failed to win a trophy to add to our collection, but we masterminded the publication of those elegant Home- coming programs and did all right, too. We did our bit to back the March of Dimes, W.S.S.F. drive, the Cancer Drive and other worthy causes. Our social activities included the Rogue's Brawl, numerous smokers, informal dances, and an all-day outing at Lake Bloomington and the Birth- day Dinner at Ogden's. You saw us in the Plays, Operas, Chapel Choir, Speech Contests, Debate Teams, Gospel Teams, Alpha Epsilon Sigma, and Pi Kappa Delta. You read our chatter in the Pegasus and were no doubt enlightened by our original feature, "Our Thought for the Day." We made the Scholars, Who's Who in American Colleges and Uni- versities, and we were well represented on the first Pioneer Conference Championship Basketball team. Our aim is a bigger and better fraternity, fostering, to the utmost, ideals of fellowship, scholarship, and the highest moral obligations.

Almost all the fraters who had been in service retturned last September and commenced a successful year. The greatest achievement of the year was the construction of the Annex. Anticipating a large infiux of men students, members and pledges, under the supervision of a carpenter, went to work last summer and built the annex, equipped with a study room and accommodations for 16 men. As expected, there was a large group of new students and the house and annex were filled. The highlight of the social functions of the year was the celebration of the 30th Anniversary of Iota Chapter. On this occasion the celebration included a dance, open house, and a dinner. Present at the dinner were many alumni, among them charter members Frank Felter, Dr. E. B. Pearson, and Miles Gray. Other social functions included content dinners for the three sororities, a Mother's Day Banquet, and smokers for the members of Psi Alpha Lambda and Lambda Chi Alpha, at the chapter house. The annual Orchid Formal was held at Lida's Wood last winter and the guests danced to the music of Freddy Stevens and his orchestra. The Spring Formal was held in the 'Grand Ballroom of the Jeierson Hotel. During the summer months, the Eureka College quartette is making a 1500-mile tour and with them can be found Fraters Mather and Condee. These men plus Fraters Bennett, Whitcomb and Ettinger were members of the College Choir of which George Whitcomb was president. These men also took part in the presentation of the Operetta "Iolanthe." Greg J osseck and Jim Highlander were our dramatic representatives and took leads in the college dramatic productions. Tau Kappa Epsilon was well represented in ahletics this year. Members on the football team were Albertson, Dean, Nelson, George Whitcomb, Bud Whitcomb, Poorbaugh, Richards, and Morrow. On the Championship Basketball Team of the Pioneer Con- ference we were represented by Bill Poorbaugh and Warren Collier. War- ren was selected to be placed in the all-conference first team. Emmert and Nelson were members of the college baseball team. These men were all elected members of the "E" Tribe, the school's lettermen's club, of which Jack Greuling is vice president. Both school publications' editors can be found in the house. Jim Wil- liams is the editor of this edition of the yearbook and Jack Greuling was elected to head the Pegasus for the coming year. Two of our men, Williams and Shannon, are members of the speech fraternity, Pi Kappa Delta. On June 7, Commencement marked the close of one of the most suc- cessful years for both Eureka College and the social organizations of the campus. Many seniors graduated but the entrance of new students promises to aid the promotion of an even more successful group next year.

INDEPENDENT WOMEN The Independent Women became oiiicially organized in April of this year. Ann Lundberg was elected as chairman of the group and Jean Salmon was chosen as secretary-treasurer. , The purpose of organizing was to set up a unified group on campus to carry out specific social projects. Plans were made for a serenade in conjunction with the Independent Men, and a Spring Tea to entertain faculty members, their Wives, and sorority representatives. As a climax to the year's activities, the girls and their guests were entertaned on a hayride at the home of Doris Dyar, Metamora, Illinois. Ofiicers Were elected for next year and tentative plans for a further progressing organization were outlined.

STANDING: Rose Irene Hamner, Edith McCasky, Ruth Phelan, Pauline Zimmerman, Genevieve Seeley, Helen Gilbert. INDEPENDENT MEN The Independent Men, the largest social group on campus, began its first full year as an organization in '46-'47. Our officers for the iirst half year were: Scott Simer, president, William Brown, vice president, and Edward Willis, secretary-treasurer. At mid-year Clarence Fauber was elected president, Howell Bischoff, vice president, and Jim Alexander, secretary-treasurer. Our group began the school year with a serenade of the ladies' dorms. Not long- afterward we planned a hayride--which a rainstorm turned into a cozy theater party. ' In other fields of endeavor Indee men proved themselves outstanding. Bob Houser and Dick Broers starred in varsity athletics. John Binkley, Larry Pitman, and Don Littlejohn carried school colors in forensics. Indee men entered and were second to none in college drama, music, scholarship, and journalism. We were a real threat in the intra-mural race, and car- ried well over our share in contributions to the W.S.S.F. and overseas clothing drives. All in all, '46-'47 has been a happy and successful year for us and for Eureka College. We'll be hoping-and working-for even a better year in '47-'48, ,,1., ,, l SEATED: Scott Simer, Don Littlejohn, James Alexander, Clarence Fauber, Roger Gigstead, Robert Bahr.

CCMMENCEMENT l The traditional open air graduation exercises were held on June 5, when thirty-two seniors recived their bachelor degrees. The Class of '47 was the largest one graduated since 1940. Over half were veterans of World War II. Dr. Durward Sandifer, a former student and instructor of the college, gave the graduation address in which he stressed the advance of attitudes toward international organization and human welfare. "The task is yours," he told the graduates, "to see that the gap is bridged between aspiration and realization, between the establishment of institutions and turning them into dynamic controlling forces in the life of the world, between human welfare in a blueprint and human welfare in the daily life of human beings around the globe." A highlight of the ceremonies took place with the conferring of Honorary Doctor of Laws Degrees on Sandifer and Gaines Cook, another prominent graduate of Eureka. Following the graduation the seniors and juniors held their Ivy Ceremony. STUDE DIREC Adams, Kenneth liarl, liureka, Illinois. Adams, Ruth Annabel CMt-rilsp, Flanagan, Illinois.
