This, Best Beloved, is an Almost-So story, but it begins ' way back with the Just-So story of how we got the Endowment. It begins ' way back before even the Just-So story was sure ' nough true. The true part will come first. Best Beloved, then the Al- most-So part is nearly another story. There was a big school in the State of Illinois, in a dream3% sleepy old city; and the school grew and grew until it was big, oh, as big as a block. And, Best Beloved, like all well-regulated schools it always needed things. So the Man Who Says What ' s What said : ' ' We must have $180,000 or we ' 11 grow little and narrow and disintegrate. And, oh. Best Beloved, that will never do ' because people came even from distant Egypt to grow big and broad and satisfy their satiable curiosities. And when the girls heard the ] Ian Who Says What ' s What (for it was a girls ' school you know). Best Beloved, they wanted to begin to show their big, broad, ' satiable interest at once so they met and de- cided to give up their sundaes and hamburgers and afternoon communion with Theda Bara and ]Mary Pickford. (You have seen those last mentioned ladies in the reel drama, I am sure.) They sang and they yelled and they shouted Endowment, and they pledged $5,900 all among themselves so that they could grow big and broad and satisfy their ' satial)Ie curiosity. And one time after the Man Who Says AVhat ' s What had persuaded a man who had $10,000 and more besides (think of that. Best Beloved), to give it, the girls in the school had a Torchlight Parade late at night, all through the town in the snow. And they kept on getting more money and more money until on June first they had all of the $180,000. But the Man Who Says What ' s What had to have even more mone.y to have his school stay a standard- ized college. That means, Best Beloved, a college 9 that could satisfy people ' s satiable curiosity according to the approved methods. And on Founders ' Day (that is a feast day among these people, Best Beloved) the Man Who Says What ' s What started on a new campaign for $100,000. The girls worked this time, too, so that their satiable curiosity might con- ' •Thej put up signs in public places, tinue to be satisfied after the approved methods. They sold things; one senior even offered to sell her senior privileges. Other girls closed windows in the morning, some served things to eat, sandwiches, tea, and chocolate. All for Endowment, Best Beloved. They put up signs, telling about their wares in Telling of their wares. 10 public places. They gave the money that Santa Glaus brought them for Christ- mas, and earned whatever they could by selling things to their friends and neighbors. The faculty helped too. They gave a stunt, The School at Cracker ' s Bend, ' ' and skipped around merrily as naughty little children. The Man Who Says What ' s What had a big thermometer with red mer- cury in it put up in the chapel and every time some one gave $1,000 the mercury climbed a degree and on New Year ' s Eve it reached the top and would have spilled over if the Man Who Says What ' s What hadn ' t stopped the campaign. When the girls came back after Christmas vacation they had a half holiday to celebrate. But that is another story. Best Beloved. And the faculty helped too. And now comes the Almost-So Story, about the Gym. All the time they were talking about Endowment the Man Who Says What ' s What was telling them they needed a new gymnasium too, so that their arms and legs and things could keep pace with their, satiable curiosity, which was in their heads and might topple them over when they wanted to go to the reel drama or the ten- cent store. Then, one day, this same Man Who Says What ' s What said that the girls in the school were going to have a new Gym, and that it already had one part which would go to make up its internals, for some good, kind man had given it a Swimming Pool. Then all the little would-be mermaids in the school grew very, very enthusiastic indeed, because you knew that meant. Best Beloved, that al- most the most expensive part of the Gym was a sure ' nough sure-thing, and the rest of the Gym, which would only cost several thousand dollars, would be a mere nothing to the Man Who Says What ' s What. 11 They wanted the Gym by the next Fall, and they just wanted and wished and wanted and wished until a very good man, who had more money than he needed for sundaes and hamburgers and things like that, just built a Gym around the Swimming Pool and gave it to the Man Who Says What ' s What. And that ' s all for now of the Almost-So Story, Best Beloved. PHYLLIS WILKINSON. 12 13 ' °6 o ° 3o po£ oo oo o J ]_ J W O O 1917 fe)o0 o 0 0 «0 Amy M. Motheeshead, B. S., Dean, Philosophy.

For that ' s our Freshmen rule. Thus sang the Freshman Class in the fall of 1912. Then they doffed their caps of green, showed their yellow and white ribbons, and went to work to prove their boast. True to their early motto, the class in 1913 marching onward, marched right through the essay contest, and carried off both prizes, enthusiasm bubbled over, even as the contents of the ginger-pep man ' s bucket ; and so they marched, again victoriously through the Junior contest. During all the year the band ' ' worked with a right good cheer ' ' in athletics, in the Y. W. C. A., and in the Students ' Association. They have never stopped save for brief breathing spells at Gravel Springs, at Llayfield Grove, and at Lake Matanzas. The band, over twenty strong, started their senior journey in the fall of 1915. Not until then did they realize their love of progress or their reluctance ever to stop. Then, gradually the realization came that, though the members of the band would be separated from their comrades and their leaders, whom they had learned to love, the march of the class 1916 need never cease. 28 29 ILLIWOCO 1917 Mighty Activity.

Beneath the red and white they pass Class of seventeen. We ' re here for work, we ' re here for fun. We ' re liere a four year ' s race to run, Loyal, loyal, loyalty, Class of seventeen. Miss Mc Laughlin, Class Officer This, our first Freshman song, represents tlie enthusiasm with which the class of 1917 entered I. W. C. Loyalty has been our watchword, and not only have we been loyal to the red and white, but above all to the blue and gold of our Alma JMater. The Freshman class of 1913-14 numbered seventy-five, the largest class that thus far had entered I. W. C. Early in the year the class was organized. Miss Rose Dudley served as a very capable faculty adviser, and the services of our first officers, Esther Fowler, President; Johanna Onken, Vice-President; Winifred Robison, Secretary, and Esse Summers, Treasurer, will always be remembered and appreciated. The next year found us back, decreased somewhat in number, but by no means in enthusiasm. Because ] Iiss Dudley did not return, Miss Laura McLaugh- lin, ever true and most faithful to the class of ' 17, was chosen faculty adviser. The officers elected for the Sophomore term were : President, Mary Harrison ; Vice-President, Johanna Onken ; Secretary, Genevieve Dague ; Treasurer, Paul- ine Herrmann. During this year, three of our number had the honor of having the prettiest, the wittiest, and the best loved affixed to their names, and, as a result, the additional honor of accompanying the Seniors and Juniors to Lake ] Iatanzas. And now, our Junior year ! Our race is over half run. But we need not trumpet our own praises. Not many can read our book, this Annual, and fail to recognize our achievements, our spirit and our loyalty. 38 39 40 I ILLIWOCO 1917 B. Smith Horner McMiRPHY Sale Teachout M. McGhee Baldwin E.

The regular business was transacted with ]Miss Mildred Applebee acting as chairman. The following officers were elected: President, Winifred Sale; Vice-President, Vera Teachout; Secretary-Treasurer, Mildred Applebee. ] Iiss Rena M. Lazelle was appointed class adviser. The rest of the evening was spent in music and games. This enthusiastic class, although the smallest in the college, having only a membership of 20, is bound to succeed. It is perhaps, the most talented class. We are proud of our art students, whose work is unusually splendid this year. When it comes to music, the College Specials are right there with an excellent quartette and a four piece orchestra. The Madrigal Club and also the Glee Club are composed mostly of girls from this class. The Specials ' versatility is, however, not confined to uuisie and art alone; we are known as entertainers of unusual ability. The truth of this may be established by reading the article on the opposite page which gives full informa- tion concerning our one big event of the year. 42 THE halloa e ' p:n party The College Specials entertained After October the thirty-first waned. Nevertheless as we all have seen, ' Twas in tlie nature of a Hallowe ' en. Down the winding of the stair The guests encountered the lanterns ' glare, An evil spirit dressed in black Sent cold shivers down their back. Farther down at each landing Several haunting ghosts were standing; One was howling, groaning, moping. The others ' greasy hands were groping. Thus Darkies, Chinese, babies, mothers. Ghosts, Bohemians, Turks and brothers, Lovers, Clowns, Society folks and all, Found their way to the Expression hall. Apples, pop-corn balls and cider sweet Were passed around for all to eat. Some sped to the Fortune Teller ' s then Others sought refuge in tlie Witches ' Den. Tlien late in the eve some expressed the desire To go out-doors to the big bon-fire: All gathered around it and marshmallows roasted ' Till girls ' faces also became quite toasted. They began to get sleepy and the Are burned low. So back to the College did they go Each retired to her room; bid a fond farewell, Awakened next morning by the old cow bell! W. Sale V. Teachout M.

We draw, we sketch, we paint in oil. On studies from life or nature toil, We sharpen charcoal, mix our paints. But still we ' re not, at all times, saints. The Illiwoco is the book We gaze upon with pain ; To make the sketches that it took We almost went insane. When the girls are apt to shirk, Miss Knopf appears, Now get to work. The guilty one is called at once Into the hall for conference. On Thursday morning, sharp at nine. The first class meets to take design. Rules are learned, and there applied For patterns, spots and sc|uares beside.

It was their first step into Independent Experience, and they knew not what lay before them. A year later, and our little first preps, now promoted to joyous Sophomore preps, were three seats nearer tlie platform. Tliis time they rose unhesitatingly and sang with gladness. They were a well organized band of seventeen, loyal to their class and College. The third year saw twenty-one preps singing the opening anthem with the same gladness, but perhaps with more dignity. 3Iany new members had been added to the class, and with so great a number they looked forward to the time when they should fill three rows on the platform at their commencement. They had an unliounded amount of pep and enthusiasm, and they realized how much they could do in the next two years. With talent for music and expression and scholastic average and athletic record they formed a prominent figure in the Academy. And now, twenty-three fourth preps occupy the front seats in the Academy section. They have accomplished much that they intended. Their athletic record is high, so high in fact that it can be seen no longer, as one of their athletic stars has risen to the Freshmen class. But they arc hoping that a dark horse will come to the rescue and uphold the previous standard. In the first half-semester of 1915-16 they were awarded highest scholastic average in the whole college. So let the academy class of 1916 go down in the history of the college, as the academy class which to date, has had the largest enrollment, the greatest enthusiasm for school activities, and the highest scholastic standing. 46 L.

COMMITTEE ON INTER-SOCIETY RELATIONS In February, 1914, the committee on inter-society relations was officially endowed with power to settle such questions as might arise in respect to inter- society law. It consisted of the Dean, Chairman, and the Presidents of the four societies. The work of the committee has been greatly aided by the keen insight and clear judgment of the chairman. Because of the association together in this way, we feel that the outlook of the societies has been broadened, sympathies deepened and above all friendship strengthened. A. Harmel C. Hughes M.

While one time at bitter odds with Illiwoeo, rivaling her for roasts, out- bidding for ads, cross-campaigning for subscribers, the Greetings hereby sur- renders all past enmity and declares an amicable truce, in evidence of which the staff appears en masse on the preceding page. And now that friendly relations are established, we will go farther and admit that our rivals, the Juniors, are putting out a remarkable book and have proved themselves quite capable of re- ceiving the privilege we jealously grant them, of assuming the larger responsi- bility of the Greetings, for next year. We do not wish to suggest that it will be found a simple matter to main- tain the standard that has been set, for, however gracious and delightful a task the issuing of the College paper may be, no one has ever accused it of being an easy one. Perhaps it would not even have been so gracious and delightful for the present staff if it had not been favored by the best of advisers. One would think ] Iiss Jennie Anderson would have had enough to do with piloting through to graduation the largest class that has ever left the college ; but not so. As adviser of the staff, she has undoubtedly been its most active and efficient mem- ber, an unfailing source of ideas, a liberal and constructive critic. If we were to mention a particular issue under the present administration, especially deserving of notice; it would be one that is yet to come. The ] Iay number is to be the Jubilee number of the Greetings, issued in recognition of the seventieth anniversary of the founding of our College. A special committee with Miss Janet Powell as chairman, has long been planning the material which will picture I. W. C. from seventy years ago until now. There will be many revelations to the present college girl within its pages and much spicy, delightful reading. Watch for the Jubilee Greetings and expect to enjoy it ; you will not be disappointed. 71 ILLIWOCO 1917 M. Anderson Miles H. McG ' hee E. Bkown Robb Ranson OST Slatten Strubinger Rives STUDENTS ' ASSOCIATION Since November, 1914, Illinois Woman ' s College has had student govern- ment. Then it was that the Board of Trustees, upon recommendation of the faculty, granted to us as students, the most precious document in our archives — the charter of the Students ' Association. AVith a belief that such an association would develop individual responsibility and consideration for others, would strengthen the bond between students and faculty, would increase loyalty to all college interests, would secure a better execution of all such affairs as came under their jurisdiction, the students framed a constitution. The first year was spent not only in organization, in the manufacture of machinery and in getting it into running order, but also in the education of a public opinion that would require high ideals of community life. Much tutoring is yet necessary, for we have not as yet, grown up. However, we are now a dynamic, effective unit, acting through our organization and expressing our college spirit that needed only direction to give it force. Class-room honesty, mutual consideration, good taste and womanliness, high scholarship, promptness and dispatch, and above all a fine spirit of loyalty to ourselves, each other, and the college are the ideals for Avhich we stand.

Reason? It contained the rules of Student Government, the nucleus of which is House Goveimment. Its purpose is to regu- late the community life of the college and so its rules vary, from allowing no cooking on the corridor gas jets to the controlling of church and chapel attend- ance. House Government is vested in a Board of Proctors, consisting of the chair- man and fourteen proctors, elected by the resident students. The president of the Association is chairman of the Board of Proctors, and has charge of their weekly meetings in which they discuss the needs of the organization and the manner in which the rules are being carried out. Two house chairmen, with a term of one semester are elected, one by the students of Harker Hall and one by those of ] Iain building. Proctors are elected on each corridor for a term- of six weeks. Once a month, or more often if necessary, there is a general meeting of the entire student body in which the President gives reports of matters dis- cussed in proctor meetings, or the students themselves may bring up questions. All laws and regulations for the government of house students which may have been recommended by the Proctor Board are presented at such meetings to the students and if adopted by them and later approved by the faculty they go into effect. House Government is a big and vital part of Student Govern- ment, because it so directly touches each student. Its various rules and the responsibility which it makes each student feel, not only makes living together at College pleasant, but also paves the way for the future of the student. OsT RoBB jSI.

' I I i ! i ILLIWOCO 1917 The first organization that the Freshmen become acquainted with in college is the Y. W. C. A. ; and, naturally so, for, even during the summer, the new girls have received letters from association members ; and once here, they are met at the train by a Christian association girl and are introduced to the people, places and customs of I. W. C. At a big informal party, given the first Saturday night, everybody meets and gets acquainted and so the year is well begun. Not only at the beginning, however, but all through the year, the Y. W. C. A. is a vital part of the college organization. There are many good times: the annual carnival and the May breakfast come under the special charge of the Association ; and there are ice cream and pie sales every few weeks. One of the most interesting and helpful experiences of college life is that of spending ten days at Lake Geneva at the summer conference. The inspiring gatherings, the contact with leaders in religious thought, the friendships formed, the delightful afternoon outings, all have combined to make Geneva a sacred spot to the girls who have gone to a summer conference. This year our association has taken the plan of the Sister College. Not only do we help to support Madras College, but we also help to bring a closer band of sympathy between the girls of India and the girls of our own school. But most important of all the Y. W. C. A. ministers to the spiritual needs of the girls by the devotional services each week; by stimulating interest in Bible and IMission study; by co-operating in all the religious activities of the college. 79 Keplinger Mexdenhall Gerrick Kinnear Ost Strubingeb Dewitt Onken Wendel Harrisox Loar Y.W.

W. C. A. is the heart of the Woman ' s College, the Service Circle is one of the inner chambers of that heart. The pur- pose for which the Circle was formed is ex- pressed in the membership pledge, Because I love Jesus Christ and His Church, it is my purpose to seek to know what He will have me do, to use every effort to understand the vari- ous kinds of service taught by Him, and to engage in some kind of definite Christian work wherever I may be. The Service Circle Avas organized in the Fall of 1914, and began immediately to en- gage in definite Christian work. Sewing, cooking and gymnasium classes were organ- ized for the maids employed in the College. This year we have offered Gymnasium classes and a six weeks ' course of lectures in History. The second semester will bring the regular sewing and cooking classes. These classes are all taught by differ- ent members of the Service Circle. The spirit if not the actual administration of the Circle may be illustrated by reference to the Christmas of 1913, when the Y. W. C. A. gave the children of the Free Kindergarten a party and Christmas tree in the gymnasium. Santa brought to each child a toy, warm mittens or stockings and candy. When the Open Air School for Tubercular children was organized, through the activity of the Service Circle, the College girls provided boots and mittens for the children. This year twenty dollars was contributed at Thanksgiving time for the blanket fund. The plan of work for 1916 is to form reading circles among the factory girls in order to become better acquainted with their special problems. Miss Neville, Faculty Adviser 81 __ I Excel Yeck V.

The hike clubs are organized early in tlie fall and spring and all the hike fans work enthusiastically for their clubs. Hare and hoimd chases are big features of the hiking. This fall two clubs with ] Iabel Osburn and Joye Webb as leaders challenged the other two, with Agnes Bright and Ethel Glaspie at the head. The hares were given a twenty minutes start and left a chalk marked trail. The hounds caught them just as they reached the end of the chase w ' here a bonfire was built to roast customary weenies and bacon for the buns. The clubs returned well satisfied with several more miles to their credit. At the end of the season the defeated clubs entertained the winning club by giving a taffy pull down in the gymnasium. There may have been a few blistered fingers but that was a very minor feature. 84 There is more interest shown in basketball and tennis than in any of the other sports. We have a series of hotly contested inter-class games. At each game there is a big rooting representation, especially from the two contending classes. In fact, our gym is so small and the rooters so enthusiastic that it is hard to keep them off the field. Last spring the college Special team won the basketball shield which was pre- sented to the athletic association by Mr. Bassett. The finals in the Tennis tournament always cause a great deal of excitement. The players are gradually sifted down to two in the preliminaries. Last spring Esther Fowler won the tennis cup after a hard fight. Our track meet comes as the culmination of the year ' s work in athletics. We have the usual field events : fifty and hundred yard dashes ; hurdles ; stand- ing broad jumps ; running broad and high jumps ; hop, step and jump ; shot-put ; basketball throw, and class relay race. We have had only two track meets, and so have broken no world ' s records yet. Athletic association pins are awarded to those who do especially good work in basketball and to those who make eight or more points in field events. January 15, 1916, Ringling Sisters Circus visited I. W. C. They had the usual essentials of a circus band, clowns, tight-rope walker and daring bare- back rider, and trained animals. A minstrel, composed of three couples accom- panied the circus and it proved to be very popular with the audience. The proceeds from the circus will be used in buying apparatus for the new gymnasium. Whatever success the Athletic Association has had has been largely due to our Athletic Director, Miss Louise Robinson. We all feel, though, that she has been at great disadvantage because of our poor equip- ment. Now that we have raised our endowment we must — and we will — have a new gymnasium. 85 ILLIWOCO 1917 DRA3IATIC CLUB President Corinne Hughes Vice-President Anne Floretli Secretary Marie Towle Treasurer Margaret Coultas Chairman of Play Committee Ahua Harmel Charter Members 1913-14 ;Mareeline Armstrong Mavy Baldridge Marjorie Barr Audrey Berryman Ima Berryman Ethel Birkes Elaine Buhrman Margaret Coultas Irene Crum Gladys Chenoweth (aead.)

The twenty-one piece orchestra, under the leadership of Mr. Stearns, has made very rapid progress since September. Even the rasping of the violins has 91 ■Qo. gs co ILLIWOCO 1917 — been turned to pure harmony. Besides the regular college members there are included several students of the Jacksonville High School and residents of the city who contribute their share to the development of this organization. During the year the orchestra furnishes music for plays, clubs and the May Festival. Their public performances testify to the high grade of work done in the College of Music. The fame achieved by the organizations of the voice department is wide- spread. The Madrigal Club is made up of students of the College of Music under the direction of Miss Lazelle. The College Glee, the members of which are chosen from the whole College, displays its remarkable ability by singing in concerts, plays, recitals and in fact almost everj entertainment. The Academy Glee, also under the direction of Mrs. Hartmann, is the talented rival of the College Glee, and far be it from a literary person to attempt to bestow the palm. During the year students ' recitals are held frequently, which give each student an opportunity to display her ability. How proud we are that we are achieving sufficient knowledge to take part in such a program ! With what fear and trembling we receive the news that we are to appear ! So great is the spirit of music which charms the soul at the Woman ' s Col- lege that other students have even invested in ukuleles and are trying by hard- spent hours to attain some fame in the musical realm even if it be but slight. We will not stop here to describe the delight afforded by The Little Wonder. One of the most prominent and impressive rituals of the College of ]Music is the practice hour. This ordeal may be very amusing to the passer-by, but not to the student who is trying to concentrate upon some difficult lesson. When the mind is hard at work it is suddenly aroused by the rolling out of chords and discords that smite the sky , and one becomes aware of the continuous playing of piano, violins and pipe-organ. ]Much too frequently for pleasure are struck those piercing notes which penetrate the ear and all thoughts of study have to be abandoned until a more peaceful moment. And, we, in the practice rooms, often long to escape this conglomeration of sound, and make a pilgrimage to Ehnie ' s. But stay we must, for who can slip by that ogre monitor? Still we are patient and realize that we must practice religiously if we hope to become really great nuxsicians. Thus we work from day to day and when our college life is over, we will feel that we have really done something worth while. 91 ILLIWOCO 1917 M. WiLLSON SpINIJLER R. WlLLSOX E. Brown E. Leonard V.

The Madrigal Club is at work, and under the guiding baton of Miss Lazelle, the work proceeds, until in the end, a lively collection of songs is prepared and the Club is ready for any occasion. Every year this chorus of trained voices gives a concert, which is of very high standard, both vocally and musically, and which is also one of the events of the spring term. Those who take part in these concerts are students, selected from the vocal department for their ability. ] Iany of the best choral works are studied and the organization affords a valuable opportunity to vocal students for training in ensemble singing, such as is seldom found outside the large cities. For those who appreciate the true value of music, the IMadrigal Club presents an opportunity to become better acquainted with some of the best composers and their works. 93 Bunting Hobner Howell Vaeney M. McGhee Carpenter Westphal Hartmann Bigger Lees Loar Ellis Fowler Teachout Simpson M. Brown Baker COLLEGE GLEE The College Glee is a group of girls who by their enthusiastic interpreta- tion of their various songs inspire pep in the whole audience whenever they sing. The songs represent every phase of school life full of wit and fun and are suited to the occasion. The Club meets once a week for rehearsals. Two programs are given each year, one in the fall and one in tlie spring. To become a member of the Glee Club the candidate has to pass a try-out before a committee, composed of the Officers of the Club and the Faculty Adviser. The candidate not only must have a good voice, but, to become a member, must have an attractive personality, a pleasing appearance, and much enthusiasm. Every member of the Glee Club must have interest and enthusiasm in all college activities. The purpose of the Glee Club is to promote college spirit, and to encourage interest and enthusiasm in all college activities. The occasions on which the Glee Club singing is most prominent, are basketball games, essay contests and college songs. ' ' Endowment Day was celebrated much more enthusiastically through the efforts of the Glee Club. One of the most popular songs of that day was : I. W. C. we love you, Ever we ' ll wave, above you. Yellow and blue, Colors of you. We, the girls of Woman ' s College, E ' er uphold Faith, Service, Knowledge. I. W. C. we ' re loyal We love but you I. W. C. we ' ll be true. 94 ScoxcE HiNE Crawley Barton Bright Rives Spixdler Pitkin Wall Woods Barker Stuckey Shepherd Hartmann Reavis ACADEMY GLEE CLUB The Academy Glee Club was organized last year with Miss DeMuth as leader and faculty adviser.

We have enthusiastic meetings once a month where we become better acquainted with each other as well as with the problems wliieh are con- tinually coming up in the field of Home Economies. In considering these ques- tions we come to realize their close connection with our work and to feel that each one of us has her share of responsibility in making conditions better, especially in the communit in which she lives. 97; McKnight Clarke Lux Patterson Johnston Fisher Iiller Pawling Glaspie Bright Throckmorton Dunn Gerrick Ellis Parratt Carlton Herrmann Scholl Burke Fellows Baker Weiss Harrison Moellerixg MrCLOUD M.

Mrs. Moel- lering and ] Iiss Johnston were our faculty members. We celebrated the birth- day of our Hoosier Poet, October 7th, with special tables and Indiana decorations. Then on the first INIonday in February, came our annual waffle breakfast at Pea- cock Inn, and the happy Indiana girls were much envied by those who could not claim Indiana as their home. With good weather come picnics and hikes for the Hoosier girls, and we say : We ' ve got the pep and the spirit too, We ' re for Indiana, all true blue. 98 If you think these jokes are old.

We are more than glad of the opportunity here to acknowledge our gratitude to those who have worked and planned with us, making our task light. The staff and class wish to thank ] Iiss Knopf for her unfailing interest and aid. We are also indebted to Miriam Pendleton, Sarah May, LaVone Patrick and Ruth Patton for a large part of the splendid art work which does so much to make the book attractive; to Mrs. C. E. Lambert we owe the alumnae contribution. We wish to announce Miriam Anderson as the winner of the kodak contest. To all others who have encouraged and assisted us, we want to express our deepest appreciation of the help given. With the appeai-ance of this second volume of Illiwoco, we hope the trail of a yearly publication has been blazed. The first volume was a leap into the dark; it succeeded. We have realized, as a staff, the difficulty in living up to the high standard which has been set for us, and the importance of our success or failure for future year books. We have worked loyally and you have the result. W e are not so anxious to hear you say, What a fine Bi-ennial ' ' as It must be an Annual. The question is yours: Shall the Annual come out every year? 129 130 Oh, Tradesman, in thine hour of e e e If this book you chance to c c c c c, Take our advice and you be y y y y y, Go straight ahead and advert i i i i i. 131 OUR ADVERTISERS We should like to call the attention of every I.
