Dr. Harker Mother Harker i ILLIWOC0 1925 College Days Oh magic charm of college days That reaches ' cross the years, Where memories stir us often To laughter and to tears. We see again those ivied walls, The stately elms, and spacious halls; Again we feel that joyous thrill That all the world can never still. Of happy faces known of old Tho scattered now to lands untold. So come dear friend and go with me, Back to the days of used-to-be . Florence McElvain, ' 27 ILLIWOCO — 1925 i.

They stretched out their arms to them and found themselves not in a warm embrace but in a cool liquid mirror. At first they were frightened, but the water was so pleasant that they stayed. These maidens came to love the water so much that they wished never to leave it. When they had tired of their games they would swim out to a small island. There half covered by the water and the warm sand they dreamed many dreams. Some of them were about dreadful storms where strong men were tossed about by the waves and killed. These dreams gave them the desire to rescue such unfortunate creatures. At last the day came when they must leave their beloved water and go into the world. After traveling a long way they came to a big shadow building half hidden from sight by vines and trees. This building shadowed a lovely pool of clear blue water. Adany maidens stood on the edge and wept. The Oases were sad. Why do you weep? they asked sorrowfully. Oh! See the beautiful water, and we cannot swim! The Oases ' laugh sounded like the chime of a hundred silver bells as they leaped into their beloved water. Come on, they cried, The water ' s fine. And so these Oases maidens dwelt in this shadow house and taught the other damsels to swim and save lives. Many people heard of these maidens who swam in the pool of the shadow building and they named them The Oasis Club .

The new field and bleach- ers contributed to it, — not to mention the frosty weather. The classes drew for places in the preliminaries, the Freshmen against the Juniors and the Sophomores against the Seniors. The Seniors won the game from the Juniors on Thanksgiving morning which made the third time this team has taken the championship.

There are the thrills of rushing parties; the intimate little breakfasts in the Blue Room; delightful luncheons at the Tea Tray; those Sunday night suppers with Mother Gates; the candy pulls; spreads; slumber parties and little social teas — can we ever forget them? And with the spring come the formal banquets at Colonial Inn. How dearly all the details are treasured! The ' soft glow from the candles, the toasts, the music and the reunion with former members are unforgettable. cannot but remember such things ivere That were most -precious to me.

No less weighty question, or so thought the Juniors and Sophomores, was worthy of the occasion of their second annual debate. The Juniors drew the neg- ative, the Sophomores the affirmative, and the two teams and their ardent supporters tackled the settling of this mighty problem with a zeal that could only be inspired by the keenest forensic rivalry between the con- tending classes. After many weeks of eager gathering of information, the teams were ready to meet. The night of December eighth saw them, resplendent in their class colors, mount the platform and, amid the encouraging cheers of their classmates, argue out their question. The Junior team won the day, or rather the prize of twenty-five dollars, proceeds from the Wesley Mathers A Iemorial Fund, for excellence in public speaking. The loyal Sophomore class, however, is backing its team for victory next year. Page 99 ILLIWOCO — 1925 Page 100 ILLIWOCO — 1 92 5 — — — — — — What Happened Then 15, 16, Monday, Tuesday— Back again.

It was a memorable night — one to which the Seniors and Juniors, yes, and the Freshmen and Sophomores, too, had long looked forward. The first formal Prom at Illinois Woman ' s College! What preparations there were — what thrills about those who were to come! What a strange feeling to fill out an I. W. C. dance program with the names Howard , Wally , and Bill ! Dr. and Mother Harker, Miss Austin, Miss Anderson, Miss Teague, Harriet McOmber, and Ruth Hare were in the receiving line. Howard , Wally , Bill , and all the rest were there. The orchestra was fine — they danced! In Phi Nu and Belles Lettres Halls, Miss Johnston presided, with the chil- dren to help her. Everything was lovely, from Woodson at the front door in his Sunday best, back again to the front door when the last guest left. The party after the party in rooms upstairs with Oh! wasn ' t it just the nicest! and It ' s all all over! exclamations proved that it was — it was one of the nicest — and a party which the present Seniors and Juniors do now, and will when they ' re old and grey, be proud to think that they had a part in. Pcigt; 10 J ILLIWOCO — 1925 The Seniors This is station IWC, Jacksonville, Illinois, broadcasting from our College Studio, in the New Science Building. We have just concluded our regular Tues- day evening muscial program. Now we will take a little time to answer telegrams and cards. Among those we have received is a cablegram from Miss Mary Anderson, of Oxford University, Oxford, England, asking for a report of the class of 1925 of Illinois Woman ' s College. It has been very difficult to obtain this information, as the twenty-six members of that class have become widely separated during the ten years which have passed since they were students at I. W. C. Stand by for one moment please. Mrs. George Cox, formerly Mary Thomson, is living in Venice where Mr. Cox is City Commissioner of Streets. Mrs. Cox has charge of a novelty shop, strictly European goods, which caters to American tourists especially. Miss Harriette Munson and Miss Dorothy Dean are on leave of absence from Columbia University and are now traveling in South Africa. Miss Munson is Professor of Physics at Columbia and Miss Dean directs the Directors of the Physical Education Department.

A. secretary in Salt Lake City, Utah. On the side she is doing missionary work among the Mormons and reports six male converts. Mrs. Don Forrest, who was before her marriage, Mary Helen Hobson, is living in Springfield, Illinois, where she is assistant librarian at the Public Library. She spends part of her time writing up the reports of her husband ' s work in the study of pre-historic fossils from, in, and around Springfield. Mrs. Joseph Martin, nee Hazel Moore, who is the well-known_ authority on the Art of Cooking Eggs, has just published her lectures under the title of Hard- boiled or Not . Mr. and Mrs. Martin are living at Glendale, the Martin estate, near Bellmont, Kentucky. Miss Lillian Tranbarger is head dietitian at Passavant Hospital in Jacksonville, Illinois. She will soon leave this to take up her new position as State Inspector of Kitchens. Miss Martha Logan has established a School for Girls in the central part of Spain. Her marriage to Mr. F. Glenn will be some time next year. Page 104 ILLIWOCO — 1925 Miss Beulah Whitehead is teaching Psychology at Knox College. She was recently offered a position as Dean of Women at Lindenbriar College, but she prefers to spend her time teaching Psychology— along with other interests. Miss Winifred Potter and Miss Lucille Morris have a Physical Education School in Chicago, known as the Pot-Mor School of Nature Dancing. Miss Mor- ris is engaged to Mr. J. A. Habakkuk.

Professor Margaret Kessler, U. of L, has recently discovered a new process for making diamonds. Dr. Kessler ' s discovery will bring diamonds withm the reach of all, thereby making her a benefactor of womankind. We have the announcement to make of a new department that is to be added to this station. This will be of interest at this time as Mrs. Eddie Bhyrnes, nee Ruth Bishop, will have charge of our Homemakers ' Hour. Be sure to tune m on IWC next Friday afternoon at 4 o ' clock to hear Mrs. Bhyrnes on What Food to Serve on Willow Pattern .

Christine Cotner, who makes this her first engagement after a tour of the most important cities in Europe and South America will be the artists. We would be pleased if all the alumnae and former students who are listening in tonight would send us a card telling us how you enjoyed it. This is station IWC, Jacksonville, Illinois, signing off at 11:25 Central Standard Time. Good- night everybody! Page 105 ILLIWOCO — 1925 These College Girls Two kinds of girls inhabit this noble institution for the proper education of female hopefuls. Other authorities on the subject may class them in other ways, but to the author there are really only two kinds of college girls. Let us take Peppy Jones as a representative specimen of the first type. On the opening day of school comes Pepp}-, — valise, hat case, tennis racket, golf bag and all. She alights from the train, gi- -es the girls and the town the once- over, and speedily informs us that she thinks college is going to be hot . The }-ear is a heap of thrills for Pepp}-. Isn ' t it fun to play hockey? She has never imagined an}- game could be so fascinating. She ' s as proud of every new scratch and black e}-e as a mother duck is of every new little ducklet. The days fly by and Peppy is most happy. The teachers are all dears even if they do forbid her to bang her door a single time more and see that she waits until the elevator is emptied of faculty, seniors, juniors, sophs, and guests before she is allowed to get off at her destination. Her room-mate told us that Peppv has secretlv decided that she prefers to mount the stairs to her fifth floor domicile, for once she walked out before a senior, and said senior felt utterly crushed. Peppy and her partner win the freshman debate. Rah! Rah I So they give a feed in her room that night and thoroughly celebrate the victory. Peppy thinks English very interesting now and her teacher just perfect. Chem. is her bugbear, but it ' s fun to ask for C12H22O11 when }-ou want sugar for your tea and see Miss Teague stare blankly back at }-ou. ( ' ' e offer profound apologies to Miss Teague.) Peppy has come to college as Babe Ruth goes to the bat — to make a home run at the end of the year with a Life-saving Certificate and a few honors stringing after her. And since she lives in Xew Jersey she doesn ' t go home at all until June. Mary Ya.rd is not a bit like Pepp}-. Mary lives almost twenty miles from the college, so her mother and her father and her grandmother and her best man drive over with her the first day. Mar}- is so afraid she didn ' t get the kind of hat all the college girls will be wearing and she reall}- doesn ' t see how she will survi -e the year without going to any dances. Mrs. Ward finally gets Mary registered after having explained man}- times that Mar}- is such an extraordinary child she should be given advanced work in all her studies. After the unpacking Mar}- s famil}- departs, with man} tears and promises to drive up again ver}- soon. h}- does ever}-thing around the dorm suggest something one should like to be doing at home ? Xow, the -ines on the building are so much like the ones that climb past Mar}- ' s ver}- own window at home. And wh} ' does her room-mate have to get ginger cookies in her laundr}- case just exacth ' like Grandma makes ? It is ednesda}- night — the night John alwa}-s comes down and brings a big box of cand}- and — but what ' s the use ? e have to go to the Dean ' s talk insteadi Teachers and lessons are so horrid at this school that Mar}- ard doesn ' t even like to discuss them, — she forgets them as soon as possible, the lessons especialh ' . Page 106 ILLIWOCO — 1925 Sunday night Mary gets a date at League and is blissfully happy for two days. But he doesn ' t call up at all so for the fourth time Mary interviews the Dean and asks to go home. But the family drives up instead and brings two fried chickens and angel cake and a new reading lamp and a soft pillow for Mary ' s bed, and things go a little more smoothly for another week. At last Christmas comes. And Mary Ward gets back to school after the holidays in a state of rapture, with a brand new diamond, and triumphantly announces that Spanish class no longer holds any terrors for her, and never again will she partake of roast beef and mashed potatoes. She is to be married, and live in Wisconsin and have the darlingest little bungalow and a maid and— well, just everything. These college girls, — now aren ' t they odd? There ' s only one college for me. And that one is I. W. C, For there I can play And yet I can say It ' s taught me just what I should be. S. B., ' 2S. THOUGHTS ON THE ARRIVAL OF A FRESHMAN Sophomores — Just look at this uncouth assemblage. We surely didn ' t look like that! Juniors — How can they enjoy life? Think how utterly ignorant they are! Seniors — Could you ever have imagin ed any one so lacking in dignity as these new things! Mother — I ' m so afraid college is going to have a bad effect on Mary. If they influence her to roll her stockings or play bridge, I shall never forgive myself for sending her. Father — I suppose college will be a great thing for Mary, but she ' s got to under- stand her dad ' s not a millionaire. Miss Austin — What shall be the essence of my first talk? I do think the dear girls should have Emily Post first of all. Freshman — So this is I. W. C. — (Sighing deeply) Well! Pagf 10 ILLIWOCO — 1925 The Junior Prom Listen, my readers, and you shall hear Of a famous Prom in a famous year, ' Twas the eighteenth of April in ' Twenty-Five, Many a man is now alive Who remembers with joy that day and year. The Juniors had said, This Prom must be A time for rejoicing and revelry. We ' ll invite as guests the Seniors, and then To make it more pleasant, we ' ll write for some men. So Uncle Sam ' s postman spread the alarm To many an Illinois village and farm. And when the replies came one by one All had accepted, each Mother ' s son. You know the rest. On that famous night How the corridors echoed with laughter light. How all the girls in loveliest clothes Proudly displayed their young Romeos. And so through the night the gaiety ran. While word was passed from man to man (A word that shall echo forever more. Through every college corridor) Ne ' er such a Prom since the college began. And even our children will listen to hear Of that famous Prom in that famous year. Louise Sheppard, ' 26. ILLIWOCO — 1925 To the Elevator (On the occasions of its being hors de combat) Broke, broke, broke, Is thy mournful cry, 0 El! And I would that my hands could be tolling The bells for thy death knell. O well, for the slim and athletic Who climb for the joy of the game! But alas for the frail and the weary The soles of whose feet are aflame! And the stately Profs go on Indifferent, each to her door. But O, that the touch of my eager hand Would arouse thy response once more! Broke, broke, broke, At thy feet I wait, ah me! But the tuneful sound of thy wheels going round, Will it never come back to me? Louise Sheppard, ' 26. Perches Perches new and perches old. A ll a fascination hold. Perch out where the Seniors sit Better stay away from it. Perches for the Sunday date Never keep them very late. Perches in the lower hall. Sedately set against the wall. Perches for the hockey game. See the Seniors win their fame. But that perch on second floor Will be known for evermore.

Freshman — Well, I don ' t know what you upper classmen think about it, but to me Registration Day was one conglomeration of brown books, catalogues, advisers, checkers, and bills ending in a horrible nightmare. Sophomore — Thought I learned it all last year, but my little sister asked more questions than I could answer. Junior — It grows more complicated every year. Last time I even forgot to keep a cop ' of my schedule. Senior — I like Registration Day. Gee, isn ' t it great to see your old pals? And the thrill of Senior privileges, — but of course one must be dignified! Faculty — Necessary boredom of semi-annual occurrence.

It is having a hard time to get along, but it produces a pretty good crop of hardy figs every year. Dr. Stearns — Can you tell me how many there are in the Volunteer Band? R. Staff — Do you mean the Jacksonville Community Band? Dr. Stearns — Answer your questions carefully. Be exhaustive, not exhaus- ing. Dr. Stearns — Now I ' m not talking against dancing. It ' s all right for you girls to dance together. But why any girl would want to dance with a man! Why if I were a girl I ' d just as soon take a cow and drag it around by its horns. Dr. Stearns — If I ' m not mistaken, I heard you talking during my lecture. H. Virgin — No sir, I never talk in my sleep.
