KNOPF Page 20 We enter the library — Miss Creek is there smiling and nodding, tip-toeing over to get just tlie right book for us. Miss Crawford, at her elbow, smiles too, over the rim of her book. Peeping briefly into Mrs. Schaetfer ' s studio, we remember her voice vibrant with feeling, her eyes deep with the laughter and the tears of life. Down tlic hall we meet tiny Miss Cannon shooing her troop of kinder- garteners toward their tomato juice. The voice of Dr. Lennox drifts out to us as he deftly shoves this philosopher and that into the proper niches. Over the bent heads of the beginning French, we notice Miss McClelland, lier smooth forehead creased with thought then un- creasing with a sudden inner light as she speaks. Miss Minor, white-clad and smiling is efficiently straightening a cover or rearranging a rose in one of the tiny infirmary bedrooms. Miss Knopp entering the class room overwhelms tlie beginning Spanishers with a burst of fluent Spanish. The clack of typewriters lures us in- to the typing lab where Miss Gehring is giving an accuracy test. Down the hall, we meet Miss Crum, a sheaf of clever mimeographed programs in her hand. We greet Mademoiselle Teague at the door of MacMurray, and she replies most graciously in beautiful Frencli. In the next room we find Dr. Gampcr, a twinkle in lier eye and a picturesque phraze of German poetry on her tongue. Miss Alexander is out brousing among her plants in the little sun room. Mr. Adams with his quaint S ' s lias a unique way of phrazing history in the language of the campus that holds freshmen spell bound. Mrs. Bcggs comes briskly down the hall smiling and charming over a stack of books. Miss Johnston, wrapt in her traditional gray shawl in her quiet scholarly way leads us deep into Horace — or Ovid, and Miss Olson in the laboratory is pink with ex- citement over the dissecting of a par- ticularly interesting crustacia. Miss Tickle — smiling and tastefully dressed HERBERT J. LENNOX ANNABEL NEWTON ELISABETH NICHOLS ISABEL STEWART BEATRICE TEAGUE GRACE S. TICKLE KATHERINE WATSON GEORGE W.

Miss Henry — the paragon of ail aspiring freslimen majors — is supervising the fitting of a garment in MacMurray 16. Miss Anderson is chalking circles on the board to enlighten a bewildered Math class. Across the hall, Dr. Stewart is administering the daily dose of psychol- ogy through her fascinating tales of this chap or that. No wonder psych classes are so full and so rarely cut. Mr. Blair in his kindly sympathetic way is telling a roomful of underclassmen things about the Hebrews. Dr. Gallo- way, loved by all practice teachers, emerges from his conference room, text in hand. Dr. Crigler, a charming com- bination of goucher dignity and smil- ing patience, is deftly untangling the distilling apparatus for a baffled fresli- man. Professor Bailey is expounding — not without a sense of humor — Dalton ' s atomic theory to a room of gum-chew- ing students. Dr. Burrows gravely asks her freshmen Is it realism, or is it satire? At the slightest provocation, however, the laughter in her eyes breaks through the gravity. Miss Abbott, brief case in hand, beams upon one of her creative writers as they approach the stair together. Miss Scott, loved by all freshmen, is going over a student theme. She looks up and laughs. Dr. Newton, her eyes smiling and blue, is confering with an English major, generously offer- ing a volume from her own library. We instantly think of lavender and old lace — or fragile china — when we meet Dr. Nichols. Her unfaltering quest of truth, and beauty reveal the scholarliness of her personality. At tlic door of the gym we meet Jikie which means Miss Watson is somewhere round. Sure enough, she ' s just come up from a demonstration jack-knife for the intermediate swim- mers. Mrs. Danner, hockey stick in hand, strikes out across the hockey field and Miss Mahany arrives in her little yellow roadster, skipping over to the McKENDREE LAIR DOROTHY M A B L E W U R R O W S DANNER GRACE K N O JANET McClelland M HELEN M L U C I L E MAHANY T R O G E H R I N G Page 21 JEAN HOSAFROS ANN SCOTT LUCILLE CRAWFORD DOROTHY CANNON FIENRY WARD PEARSON HUGH EGGS SARAJANE MATHEWS BROWN W. Z. FLETCHER Page 22 gym to her fundamentals class. Miss Hosafros, sandaled and clad for dancing calls for music and tlie flitters assem- ble. Natural dancing class begins. Entering music hall, we find Miss Remley patiently working out a speech problem with her fundamentals class. Miss Hay in the class room is revealing the intricacies of counter point. Mr. Beggs with his slow smile and his far- away ga7e is running over a Beethovan sonota with a pupil. Climbing stair after stair, we are guided to the art studio by a whiff of turpentine and oil paints. Miss Knopf is pointing out the rhythmic contour lines of the figure posing. Miss Tatro, silent and dark, efficiently goes about preparing for a new crafts proiect. Down in the music studios again, we come upon Miss Mc- Gechee having her own little ioke with a student over the keyboard. Miss Lari- more is greeting a pupil with the usual Well, M ' dear and the tremulous strains of violin creeping under the door at the end of the hall tell us that Mr. Hardesty is playing Brahms to himself. The chapel bell rings and Pop Pearson, the traditional slim brown cigar in his pocket, is inevitably drawn toward the pipe organ and the awaiting prelude. Mr. Fletcher, behind the scenes, is giv- ing last minute directions to the black- robed choir. Mrs. Brown emerges from a voice lesson flashing a smile at the departing pupil. Down at the conservatory Mrs. Nelms in her calm voice is instructing a class of wee fiddlers. Through the window drifts the Brownie and goblin things Mrs. Martin ' s youngsters are chasing over the ivory keys. Now you ' ve been everywhere from the art studio and music hall to the swimming pool in the gym, and seen everybody, including Jikie, which is a real accomplishment. Do you wish to make a more derailed study — attend classes, practice your music, do your outside reading, etc., or would you rather find yourself deserving of the pause that refreshes and go have a coke? GEORGE HARDESTY LULA D. HAY MYRTLE LARIMORE MAHALA McGEHEE ELIZABETH BLACKBURN MARTIN CLARA MOORE NELMS Mr. Metcalf Regis frar The dull duty of being Registrar does not apply to our jovial Mr. Metcalf. He is one of the reasons why the two hundred and fifty freshmen, after a busy day in the mill of registration, termed MacMurray, not so bad after all. Being registrar is not just a job with him, it ' s a study of girls — and what could be more interesting? When religion just won ' t give up its place on the program card to contemporary poetry, or when the desired P.E. class won ' t fit in, one goes to sympathetic Mr. Metcalf. It is he with his good-natured smile who irons out the troubles of freshmen and senior alike. He does the possible out of the impossible, for he knows the combinations. Also, when little Julie needs to help work her way through our dear college she talks to Mr. Metcalf about it and he fixes her up with a typewriter, dust cloth, switch- board, dining table, etc. Mr. Metcalf shows a personal interest in MacMurray daughters. He enjoys taking part in Heart Sister week, tucking road maps in P. O. boxes so that Wyoming girls can show where they live, and entertaining Sunday evenings. One of his most interesting hobbies, he says, is to watch a girl develop that MacMurray charm during her four years.

Page 2 5 T A C C TIf C Each year we come, Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Sen- iors, all as easily identified as if labeled. Six weeks and our classification is by a new scale — through daily classes, those inevitable, informative, im- promptu little details of college life! To some, they are episodes to be lived for, to others, they are at best, to be lived through. No matter if one is a freshman or senior, her main classification is event- ually in one of these two groups. The gang who dedicate their lives to classes are easily detected. Thev feel that My Time is Your Time if it ' s spent in class. They know all the answers and just which three little words the prof, expects. Their theme song is Goody Goody . As for the crowd who merely survives classes, they are of the variety who never warn teacher that One of these days you ' re going to miss me, honey — they just cut. They are the ones who slam down lessons and sigh, What ' s to do about it! Let ' s put out the lights and go to sleep . Their theme song is Lost . But at the semester ' s end both groups unite before teacher in the common query, How ' m I Doin ' ? Cl ASSES Kiilh lioini THE SENIOR CLASS The seniors, concerning themselves with concentrations, practice teaching, and general campus leadership have been greatly in evidence about the ivy clad halls of learning. Even before the formal senior recognition service, you could tell a senior, the underclassmen said, by the way she smiled at you. After recognition, of course, there were the traditional caps and gowns to reinforce the smile. The sophomores were especially kind and thoughtful at the recognition of their big sister class. They were responsible for the yellow and white chapel decorations, the yellow and white bouquets in the dining hall, the specially nice coffee, and, most novel of all, the spicy little chrysanthemum nosegays presented to each senior. Thrilling as the Senior Ball was, the house dance, December 6, did not lack that lyric touch. Roll up the rugs, and Jane lounge is a perfectly gorgeous ball room, as any senior can testify. The Christmas tree was glimmery and lovely, they say. lola sang and there was a hilarious tag dance. The music wasn ' t half bad — if only the pianist had condesended to come out from behind those whiskers! No Mr. X, he. It was just a wager he said. So successful was the evening of December 6, that a second Senior house dance was decided upon in May. April 2 5 brought the Senior Tea, the class entertaining relatives and friends in Jane lounge. Under the guidance of Flo Hunt, general chairman, the memorable affair was most successful. Senior cut day is always a lark, but this year it was especially exciting. St. Louis beckoned, and the truant seniors zoomed off, car after car, to a day of fun. A concert. A play, opera, show, or just the zoo? Who knows — least of all the mystified under- classmen — what filled that spring lark of the seniors! And now comes that weepy, swan-song period when the about-to-be graduated begin to repent all sins of omission and a few of commission. It seems incredible that the forgetful sands could close over the footprints of those illustrious ones and still more incredible that they should be far and wide taking their place in the world. Yet svich is the way of things: Up and on. Luck, seniors! GERTRUDE HOLMES BEGGS DOROTHY CONOVER SENIOR CLASS Gertrude Holmes Becgs MARTHA LOIS BARNETT Mrs. Beggs is the type of professor wlio inspires lier students. Her classes are large not only be- cause MacMurray girls have an interest in eco- nomics, but because they enjoy being in Mrs. Beggs ' classes. The seniors have been very fortunate in having such a charming personality to guide them through their college years. ISABEL BALLOW ELIZABETH HIGGASON Dorothy Conovtr Dottie — a friend to us all. No one doubts how deserving she is i f the title, most outstanding girl in her class. As business manager of the I9i6 Illiwoco, she presented the class with over a hun- dred dollars profit. As president of the senior class she has led it through a most successful year. May she never change! Martha Lois Barnett Distinguished, beautiful, with a queenly air, Martha Lois is the type of senior silently admired by the freshman. She has many outstanding qual- ities, among them leadership and a high sense of responsibility. The senior ball was a success under her capable direction. She would like Ham for every meal! Isabel Ballow Small and vivacious, Isabel has captured us all. She is witty to talk with and pretty to walk with. She stays modern with French and delves into the past with Latin. Every so often this little town girl strolls to the U. of I. for a dance or so with a dark and handsome young lawyer-to-be. Elizabeth Higgason When we think of Beth, we invariably think of what a beautiful Senior Ball Queen she made. She has taken time out this year from her English studies to write for the Greetings, to be secre- tary of Phi Nu society and treasurer of the senior class. Poised and gracious, Beth is the type who makes a perfect hostess. Page 2 9 Ina Abbott A stands for Abbott. A also stands for excellent. In this instance it stands for both. However, being an A student doesn ' t interfere with Ina ' s campus career as both the Philosophy Club and Press Association chose her as their President. English, Latin, and French run a close race in Ina ' s affections. English winning by a major. Would that we all could have dark brown eyes as snappy and full of expression as hers. Harritt Cantrall Psychologically speaking, or in just plain ordin- ary conversation, Harriet is a very interesting person. She has a se nse of humor which can come to the rescue of any dull situation. She has a very bad habit, however, of coming to Dr. Stewart ' s classes and giving the poor innocent (or ignorant) members a pop quiz. She was an excellent organi- zation editor for the 19. 6 llliwoco. Eloise Chumley The Physical Ed. department just won ' t be the same next year without Eloise. And we venture that Eloise herself will miss the oV MacMurray swimming hole, hockey field, tennis courts, basketball games, A. A. board meetings and field house parties. She was a leading participant in MacMurray ' s quest for honors at Normal and in her fight here at home in her first Sports Uay. Eloise ' s flashing smile and cheery greeting have made her many friends. Jeanne Coyne If you ' re down in Hamilton ' s and overhear a laugh and a chuckle, and quite a lot of talking, you might hazard a good guess that the occu- pants of the next booth are Jeanne and Betty. And if you see an excellent charcoal drawing or an oil painting from the art department you can hazard another good guess that it was done by Coyne. Much of her time is spent with a curly blond young man. Isabel Craig Elegant in manner and demeanor, Isabel is one who makes a graceful entrance. In direct contrast, her ambition is to see a bull fight. She and her roommate carry on extensive, if not intelligent, conversations in pig latin. As president of her society, she has been very efficient. The music department claims title to her with prideful tones, and so does a certain young violinist who ' s been with her enough to know. INA ABBOTT HARRIET CANTRALL ELOISE CHUMLEY Page 3 0 Norma Cunningham As Shakespeare would say, Here is metal more attractive. And a certain young man would be sure to agree with him. Tall, slender, with a flair for style. Norma is a poised young woman with an enviable supply of charm. She delves into the past by means of Latin, then transcribes her results by means of a present-day typewriter — knowledge gained in the secretarial department. All we know of her is complimentary. GEORGIA DAVIS VIRGINIA ELLIS LOUISE FELDKAMP Georgia Davis She has a lot of humor and a lot of sense. Both are necessary to a liistory major. She can tell you without a moment ' s hesitation what year the war of 1812 was fought. And she knows who wrote Franklin ' s Autobiography, as she is a learned English student also. In spite of her illness, she kept a hand on the wheel and an eye on her busi- ness. Mr. Tough Luck was defeated and Georgia came through :i proud winner. Virginia Em.is Versatile Ginny — a small bundle of energy rad- iating an aptitude in culinary art, a bent for dramatics, an outlet in the social whirl. She is a go-getter and for proof we refer you to the ads of the 19.?6 Illiwoco. As house president, she competently unraveled the complexities of jane hall life. Always we see Ginny capably and gra- ciously handling any situation. A woman marked — with a significant diamond on her left third finger. Louise Feldkamp Colorful Feldkamp — with the true artistic appreciation of the beautiful, wit ' i amber-gold hair, with an unerring choice for styles of Vogue. Now aloofly, cooly sophisticated, now warmly naive — a protean personality. She vividly paints for us with words or with oils her adventures during her extensive travels. The life of an art major is time-consuming, but moments of relax- ation are possible — say at Mathews? Sh.e has worn a path from their door to jane. Charlouisi; Foster With a smile on her face and a jolly quip as she strolled along is the way we will always think of Foster . Her concentration in history did not keep her from finding time to play hockey and participate in many extra-curricular activi- ties on the campus. She has her ideas on politics and Decatur and will stand up for either of them in a remarkable fashion. She Is another one of those girls with a warm spot In her heart for Matanza Beach. Mar.iorii Geisler Marjorie ' s smile is ' one of those Infectuous grins and the twinkle in her eye Is a sure sign of a real sense of humor. This has made her a popular companion on week-end camping trips. She is a P. E. major and was a big help to the army team In the Thanksgiving day hockey game, when the mule showed the goat how to be a winning mascot. Marge will be remembered as a swell sport and loyal friend. Loetta Hallock C H A R L O U 1 S E F O S T 1. R Reading or writing in English or in Latin — It ' s all the same to Loetta. She has won renown with her work on Horace and also with her Dad ' s Day musical comedy. Davy Jones Locker. And did you know that many of those editorials and star articles in the Greetings MARJORIE GF. ISLER were also from this girl ' s pen? She has been an active I. R. C. member, serving as vice-presi- dent of that organization this year. She can be depended upon to uphold her end of any intelligent conversation. LOETTA HALLOCK Page 3 1 Vhrna Harder A life tliat leads melodious days and helps others to enjoy them with her. Verna will long be remembered for her outstanding ability as a pianist and her wonderful recitals. Some day when she is considered one of the leading musicians of modern times, perhaps she ' ll return to her alma mater on the artist series. Can you imagine the thrill that would bring? She is proof that all blondes are not lightheaded. Mary Harney True to her friends and her work, Mary has been a ready helper in whatever tasks she was assigned. The Home Economics department has found her an active participant in their affairs. Whatever she did was done well. She is one who says little, but takes in everything. And why be noisy when silence does just as well? One of the town girls with a cheery smile and a pleasant way, we would not want her otherwise. Orpha Hedburg Agreeable Orpha — whom everybody likes. The kind of girl who can give jokes or take them without taking offense. For proof, consider all the digs about Bernie. An English major who could teach secretarial if she chose. Our Swede Orpha, but don ' t feed her fish on Christmas if you don ' t want to sink in her estimation. She is lots of fun and has a marvelous disposition, but never have her knit you a sweater, ' cause she ' ll be sure to take it back. Florence Hunt Sophisticated Flo — in ideals, dress, and man- ner. A charming companion in any gathering, with her ready laugh and witty conversation. She is a Home Ec major with unfaltering good taste. Known as a smooth dancer, she also whirls a mean racquet on the tennis courts. Those gorgeous knit suits she wears are her own production. There IS a certain gentleman from the college on the hill who has been captivated by her gay spirit .ind doesn ' t seem to mind it a bit. Ruby Johnson Enthusiastic Ruby — particularly in the field of practice teaching. She ' s a history major who ' s been passing her knowledge on to poor little high school children and really getting a kick out of it. Her second favorite is our mutual friend, sleep, and it takes the whole Jane hall to wake her. She has a couple of pet peeves including people who put a T in her last name. She makes a good committee chairman. FLORENCE HUNT RUBY JOHNSON MARIE KAYS VERNA HARDER Marie Kays She possessed an air by no means common. If you heard children on the first floor shouting loudly in glee or crying mournfully in anger or MARY HARNEY despair, you may well guess that Marie was hear- ing them too, as she is a kindergarten major. The English department has also claimed much of her time. She had a why for every wherefore, but put her worries in the bottom of her heart and ORPHA HEDBURG smiled cheerfully to all. Page 3 2 VIRGINIA KENDLE DOROTHY LAYMAN RACHEL LOHMAN Virginia Kendle The only way to h.ivo a friend is to be one, and to know Virginia is to like her. She is one wlio realizes that silence is one great art of con- versation. Many of her college days were spent in the Home Economics department, which claims her as its major. Her society capitalized on her ability, and she was in charge of many of their teas, spreads, cotfees, and parties. We heard she is an excellent dancing partner. Dorothy Layman Full of pep and ready for fun is how we will think cjf Layman. She is a jjood cheer for the blues when you ' re feeling pretty low. Her ready wit and optimistic spirit are two of her most out- standing characteristics. She is a Home Ecker who is never going to burn her first biscuits or make cakes which have to be cut with hack-saws, which shoidd please thai certain young man. Rachel Lohman This year ' s Student Government Association president has ben very efficient indeed. She served her apprenticeship for the position as secretary of the organization last year. She has a great fondness for cats, which needs not be told after scLing the extensi e collection of them in her rnom. We will miss her next year from the front row of the choir. No one ever more deserved to wear the Cap and Gown pin. Rosalie McCoy Ye journalist Rosalie — the perfect college editor. In that capacity she presented the student body with one of the best annuals our alma mater has ever known, and as editor of the paper she has increased its si e and popularity. Her fame and fortune in this line will be known far and wide. True blue, Rosalie is a loyal friend. An intelligent conversationalist, amusing and amhtble, she is a good companion for a week-end trip. Oma McCumber Oma came to our ranks for her senior year, and we are very glad she did. She is interested in music and is majoring in the theoretical field of that subject. Her frequent week-end trips home proved profitable to her dorm friends as well as to herself, as she came back load ed down with good ol ' home-cooking. She is the kind of girl whose quiet disposition makes her a good room- mate and an understanding companion. Dorothy Maxeield ROSALIE McCOY Dorothy is one of those people who invariably make friends with all who know her. The senior class was fortunate in that she chose Home Eco- nomics as her major, for she was indispensible in OMA M c C U M B E R such affairs as coffees and teas. And will you ever forget the delicious refreshments she prepared for the senior ball? She is one who is a pride and joy to the committee chairman, for she is willing 111 help and always dependable. DOROTHY MAXEIELD Page 3 3 MARGARET OHRN PHYLLIS PATCHEN CLARICE SCHAFER Page 34 Margaret Ohrn CLODAUGH SEARS Margaret smiles lier way througli life. Bugs and Shakespeare have been fighting for her affec- tions. In other words, she is a Biology major with a lot of English credits for good measure. She has a cheerful disposition and is optimistic. She was an amiable member to a biology lab table group. She is another girl who has spent many good hours of her life chasing back and forth to school, since she is a member of the town girls. THYRA SMITH MEREDITH STORR Phyllis Patchen There are so many things to be said about Phyll. She is, of course, our idea of a modern young business woman and would be a simply marvelous secretary. Her Greetings column has been a big help to both us and the merchants. Her record as an ad salesman will long be remembered. She is one of the prides and joys of the English department, with journalistic tendencies and secre- tarial ideas on the side as well. Clarice Schai er Small, quiet, with a smile for all, you see Clarice dashing for the Chemistry lab, or Math class. She talks about profound theorems and much involved equations as easily as we say our A B C ' s — maybe easier. Independent and full of life, she has made her four years in college mean something to herself and to those who have been associated with her during this time. Clodaugh Sears Slender, blonde, and sophisticated in appearance, Clodaugh is just lots of fun to know and a very nice town girl. She is an English major who is going to be some lucky man ' s private secretary. She holds true to her convictions, and has the ability to express them clearly. For proof of this statement ask the businessmen on the square from whom Clodaugh ' s smile and powers of persuasion have extracted many an ad for the Greetings. Thyra Smith It is hard to imagine a MacMurray Dramatic Club play without Thyra. She is one ot our best speech majors. Play practice takes up lots of time, but there was enough of it for her to be director of the Press Club her junior year, photograph editor for the 1936 lUiwoco and this year ' s Dra- matic Club president. Actress or creative writer, Thyra belongs in Class A. A second Cornell per- haps, or a first Thyra Smith. Meredith Storr Friendly Meredith — one who can smile when things go wrong. Cheerful and gay, girls in the dorm have given her the nickname Philco. She capably served as junior class president last year and Y. ' W. president this year. She has much talent along the dramatic line and has been partly responsible for the huge success of m any of their plays. Most of her interest, however, is directed towards Cornell university and home runs. DOROTHY TURNER L ILA UNDERWOOD M A R ] O R I E V A C K E R L E Dorothy Turner One of those girls who cahnly .intl iniperturb- ably go along without great bang and bluster, she is one who can be counted upon to get things done. Her quiet charm and pleasing personality prob- ably prompted her society to choose her for its president. Her main efforts have been expended in the courses required of a biology major. She is a willing worker and unfailingly comes through with the desired product. LiLA Undi;kwoo[) Lila is another one of those girls who believe in the study of Home Economics. You can teacli it and then there is always another very good reason for knowing how to cook and furnish an apartment. Lila made such an efficient treasurer for the Home Economics club last year, that she was given the position of president this year. We won ' t forget how good she was to help us find all those books in the library. MARjoRin Wackprlh Marj is an A student who likes to study in bed. She is one of those brilliant people who cm dis- cuss deep mathematical theories, reid German, and give you all the dope on what chemicals plus what chemicals will cause an explosion. She is well known for her hospitality, and handing out cheese and crackers, cookies and cake makes for great popularity in any girls ' dorm. EsTHi?R Ward Esther is another .ulditioii to the wealth of Home Ec majors in this year ' s graduating class. But then, there never could be too many good cooks. That is, if they don ' t .ill cook the same soup. No doubt she expects to have a practical use for her talents real soon. A town girl, she will be remembered for her helpful lifts. Par- ticularly for the one to Elomecoming at the Lfni- versity of Illinois. Augusta Warskow We won ' t forget her organ numbers and her Y. W. programs. A music major, she has been many times an accompanist and a representative of our college at some Womens Club meeting, church service or social fimction. You are all familiar with her column in the Greetings giving us all the news of the music department. Her C|Uiet manner and friendly disposition have won her many friends, while her music has won her many enthusiastic admirers. Evelyn Weaver Demure Evelyn — a public school music major who has dabbled around in practically every other course offered in our dear college. Child psych comes to the front of the list and anyone willing to listen to her expound her viewpoints in this line is made a friend for life. Another pig latin fiend owha ikesla utterba exceedingla. She has made a very efficient president of the Madrigal club and treasurer of her society. ESTHER WARD AUGUSTA WARSKOW EVELYN WEAVER Page 3 5 Myra White Vivacious and carefree, full of fun and ready for life, Myra is one with whom to begin the day and to end it too. You can depend upon never a dull moment in her company, and cer- tainly you ' ll never be bored. She has those qual- ities of originality, initiative, humor, and clever- ness for which we all yearn. She is a P. E. major and a P. S. (perfect sport.) Many believe her the best dancer on the floor. loLA Whitlock Whenever a good soloist is needed for a Dad ' s Day skit, society program, or coffee, Tola is in- variably called upon. Will you ever forget lier Madam Ima Screecha? At times she goes classic and employs her German knowledge in a selection from Wagner. She has a gay disposition, and is never happier than when dancing to a new rhythm. A good joke finds in her an appreciative audience. Margarht Whitney Peg is our idea of OJie grand P. E. major and Cap and Gowner. A better sport would be hard to find. She has been a popular student in- structor in sports, particularly swimming, in which line she is a champion exhibition diver. Who knows, she may be one of Uncle Sam ' s Olympic hopes someday. But where ever she is, we know our G. A. A. president will be the right girl in the right place. Julia Williamson Julia is one of those quiet unassuming people who have a kind feeling towards all. This year when she had scarlet fever she didn ' t think about herself, but worried about having caused 200 girls to have their temperature taken every morning at 8;00 o ' clock. They really considered it a pleasure though to have an excuse for being late to class. The P. E. department has taken up all of Julia ' s time, as she is one of their best majors. Ruth Wise Ruth ' s ability with figures must have been a great help to the Greetings editor this year. As business manager of that paper, Ruth made it a paying proposition in spite of the fact that it was larger this year than ever before. Chemistry is her major, but she doesn ' t go around asking for a glass of H-O. We expect her to make her way to the front pages of scientific literature quite frequently. MYRA WHITE lOLA WHITLOCK MARGARET WHITNEY Marie Yaeger This young lady of great charm is a member of the Home Economics department. Being a senior has given her many chances to try out her recipies at teas, coffees, and other social functions. She is usually seen attired in a white cap and apron on her way to an all-afternoon lab. Slender, with dark hair, blue eyes, and a quiet smile, Marie holds a warm place in the hearts of those who know her. Page 3 6 SENIOR RECOGNITION It was November 20. Augusta began the organ prelude and the student body held its breath The seniors — capped and gowned for the first time — filed into the traditional honored rows roped off with the yellow and white paper streamers by their little sisters, the Sophs. How poised and sedate they all looked! Or perhaps that stately demeanor was necessary to keep those toppling motar boards in place. At any rate, the senior dignity sustained the part. The class hymn, O Jesus I Have Promised, which was then sung made the entire class a little pensive, because four years of belonging has a way of making a song a part of one. Tiiey remembered way back in 193 3 when they chose this song as their class hymn. At that time they were wearing green ribbons and holding doors open (supposedly) for the MacMurray seniors of ' 3 3. Meredith had short hair and Myra ' s was long. Lois, Pete, Marian, Mary Alice, E. J. were all here then and they all lived in Main. How they hated not going home Thanksgiving, and how they liked those famous cinnamon rolls. These three hour exams seemed about three years long the first time Their thoughts ran on and they remembered the big kick they got out of coming back as Sophs. The fun of being rushed the joy in seeing new freshman hold doors open the new rooms in Harker Verna ' s piano solo broke in upon their thoughts, but just for a moment, then the scene changed. Now they remembered the Freshman dance, then the Sophomore Hop, and their first Junior Prom and Senior Ball. Sad how much nicer and how much fun college seemed when you were just ready to leave it forever Think for yourself, Dr. Mac urged the startled seniors, who immediately tucked their retrospections away for another time. Don ' t dwell on Stupidity Street, the admonition continued with deft quotations from Bimyan ' s Pilgrim ' s Progress, in- spiring the students upward and onward — out of the pit of stupiciity and onto the height of one ' s own intellect. And, singing the beautiful Stately Elm song, the class of ' 3 6 trooped out of the most climatic recognition service the alma mater bestows. Meredith Storr, Margaret Whitney, Rachel Lohman, Dorothy Conover CAP AND GOWN The purpose of Cap and Gown, senior honorary society, is to recognize and promote excellence in scholarship, achievements in extra-curricular activities and the qualities of college spirit and loyalty. Elsie Ream, Eleanor Warner, Erna Emig, and Kathryn Gourley, retiring members, chose Meredith, Peg, Rachel, and Dottie as representative of the highest type of MacMurray woman. All have been active in the various college activities. Meredith as president of Y. W., Peg as G. A. A. president, Dottie as leader of the senior class, and Rachel as presi- dent of the student body have indeed lived up to their motto, Knowledge, Faith and Service. Dorothy Conovcr, Mr. Bone, Rutli Bonn, Mr. Griswold, Martli.i Lois Barnett, Mr. V.isey, Beth Higgason, Mr. Beard THE SENIOR BALL A tangle of lovely memories marks the night of November 24 at which time the seniors entertained the juniors at the most wonderful Senior Ball ever! The silver and gold and satin sandals came hurrying briskly up the frosty front steps — for it was much too chilly to stroll. So cold was it that some wise children even left their corsages wrapped in the tissue paper until the warmth and light and laughter of the front hall had been reached. The music, of course, was irreproachable. Remember jovial Tiny Hill, the Paul Whiteman of Illinois? (As if you could forget his marvelous rhythm!) And when it came to the Grand March with our beautiful Beth leading, it truly seemed as if the underclassmen stacked behind the curtains were going to topple in upon us in their desire to see it all. Draped over the banister all the way up, were those pajamaed figures anxiously asking, What are they doing now? During the coffee dances in the society halls, we scribbled things in each others little white leather books. And the ice cream molds were too pretty to eat — almost! Later on there was that breathless Rogers-Astaire specialty, and a certain dark young man consented to take the microphone while his lonely lady stood by. He sang — quite appropriately — Without a Word of Warning. At last the haunting fragrance of gardenias, the swish of feet, the last violin sank into wistful goodbyes and Jane hall settled into slumber, cheek on hands, with that happy sigh that escapes sleepy lips after the ball is over. Thank you, Martha Lois, Myra, Dorothy, Rachel, Louise, and Phyll, for a beautiful evening. THE JUNIOR CLASS Reentering the elm-shaded portals of the ahna-mater, the juniors began to look around. Where were all the missing ones? Scattered all over the map of the United States — teaching, working, going on with school, or happily managing homes of their own. The remnant of juniors, however, have risen to the full responsibility of upper- classmen and in quality, if not quantity, have proved themselves true sister-classmen of the 260 freshmen. First came the necessity of a new election, only one officer returning to pilot the ship of ' 3 7. Once the new officers were ceremoniously installed, the juniors plunged into a busy year with Miss Remley ' s unfailing guidance. Little dust gathered in the Illiwoco room, due to the long and ponderous sessions held there-in. For the Illiwoco — chief concern of junior classes — was foremost in the mind of every junior. The year-book staff put over a short skit in chapel as a starter for Illiwoco sales. The chests, closets, and attics of Jacksonville were raided for just the right costuming effects. Featuring ducky bonnets and sailor hats, frilly frocks and flapper skirts, voluminous bathing suits and gym bloomers — the juniors gave the student body a glimpse into Illiwocos of the past — and a hint as to the future. About nine p.m. on November 16, the situation was pretty tense in the region of the dining hall. You see, that was the night of the Illiwoco Benefit dance. A floor full of dancers, but no orchestra had arrived! The staff was biting mental finger nails. At last the delinquent music-makers were located all tuned up out at Baxter wondering why the dance didn ' t arrive! We agree, however, that their music was worth waiting for. The junior class had a new idea this year. Being half town girls in membership, they decided upon giving a tea for the town girls ' mothers. We shall always remember Miss Remley smiling over the silver tea-pot, framed by the roses and the candle light. Most of the juniors were there, for it was perfectly possible for dorm girls to borrow a mother from town for the occasion. Did the army get the navy ' s goat on Thanksgiving? ' Tis true the traditional goat was kidnaped by army invaders. But more than a goat-robbery would be necessary to get the indomitable navy down. The proverbial donkey was mildly surprised when the navy arrived on the field, goat and all. Suddenly, junior recognition was here and Dr. Mac was up front inspiring us. How proud we all were of Geneva and the silver cup! The prom came along then with all the trimmings on March 14 and was a brilliant success under the capable direction of Fielen McDonald, dance chairman. And now, on the brink of vacation, the Illiwocos are out — and the juniors begin to see through to caps and gowns. ■ JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Prcsidcirf RuTH Bonn Vice President Louise Tolliver Secretary ._ Helen McDonald Treauirer Ruth Chilton Advisor Dorothy Remley firsf Row.

The day, however, was a memorable one for Geneva Carver, as the distinction of being the most outstanciing member of her class during her sophomore year was awarded to her. This honor, which is symbolized by the presentation of the Conlee-Kent memorial cup and an accompanying book, was conferred upon her by Miss Catherine Goeble of the class of ' 32. Following this. President Clarence P. McClelland formally recognized the members of the junior class and spoke to the assemblage on the subject of Painless Education. There is no such thing as painless education, he said. Do not expect it here, or anywhere else. As our education proceeds, there is all the time less conscious effort, but nevertheless, true education and skill cannot be attained without a good deal of hard work and discomfort. Abandon the idea that happiness is the main thing in college or in life. Abandon the idea that conscious achievement is the chief end to be desired. After all, what is more important, grades or cidturc, social prominence or substantial character, achievement or single-mincied devotion to duty? This last means training and discipline, day after day until it is built into our characters, until we become something in ourselves, which, after all, is the chief thing in life. The services were opened by a processional of the administration and faculty, fol- lowed by members of the junior class. The junior class hymn, Dear Lord and Father of Mankind, was then sung and President Emeritus Joseph R. Harker led the prayer. Winona Rawlings next sang What is a Song by Curran, with Dorothy Jane Scott acting as her accompaniest. After the chapel was over, the Juniors felt rather pleased with themselves at being real upperclassmen. And due to Dr. Mac ' s address, they forgot their gripe about the summer clothes and decided to devote their energy towards becoming better Mac- Murrayites. Geneva Carver To Geneva Carver of the class of 1937 was awarded the Conlee-Kent cup, given each year to the girl who during her sophomore year most nearly represented the Mac- Murray ideal — knowledge, faith, and service. Knowledge — A glance at the honor roll would banish any doubts one might have in that direction. Her quest for knowledge extends even beyond the class room — she is the efficient president of the International Relations Club. Faith — Remember that splendid speech on Why I Chose a Christian College. And, after all, isn ' t faith manifested by her cheery attitude toward life and those around her. Service — Whethei as official prospect piloter, secretary of the Student Govern- ment, or merely handing out books across the library desk — it is always given with a smile. Geneva ' s one objection to us is that we can ' t bake biscuits and fry ham like they do down in old Kentucky, her home state. But she likes us in spite of it and we — well, we sort of like her too. Mr. BclLnti, Durotliy Cunovcr, Mr. Frfcni.m, Helen McDonald, Mr. Griswold, Rutli Bunn THE JUNIOR PROM Why were there so many smiling faces March 14? Why were so many juniors and seniors running around with far-away expressions, hair plastered flat to their heads, pink and red fingernails shining so brilliantly? Why were they waiting so anticipatingly for eight o ' clock? Because, dear children, March 14 was the night of the great junior prom given for the illustrious class of 1936. New spring formals made their debuts to the accompaniment of Oh ' s and Ah ' s. Those corsages surely added to their new attractiveness! Boots Wilhauck and his orchestra made their first appearance at MacMurray and their marvelous music and popularity assured them of a return trip. Some of the underclassmen (again listening behind the curtain) liked the band so well that they came right out and sat on the platform with them. And weren ' t the signs telling what dance was what, appreciated? Virginia Smiley ' s little dancing girls made as big a hit with our escorts as we did — almost. And Dr. Mac said for the first time in history the chaperones got to enjoy the specialties, too, as everyone was nice and polite and stepped back to the walls. Everyone enjoyed the coffee dances — particularly those who ate in Phi Nu hall and got shocked every time they touched the plate. A color scheme of yellow and white was carried out. Did you notice the dates outside the social room dancing on the cement walk? And weren ' t you amused by the game of turning on and off the lamps, played among the students, faculty, and S. G. A. presidents — present and future? The evening came to an end, as all evenings must. Dorm girls went home, and town girls (lucky) went to get something to eat, or for a ride. All that remained of a perfect dance was a worn-out corsage and a darling wooden program, shaped as a shield, which told you whom you took, whom you danced with, who chaperoned you, and who did all the work for you. THE SOPHOMORE CLASS The class of ' 3 8 returned to the alma mater with the new dignity of sophomores. There was the scurry of getting regulated, for practically every one changed roommates. Then Harker happily settled down and the year began in earnest. First the class made the wise choice of Dr. Crigler as class advisor. Through the year the sophomores in small groups have enjoyed informal little Monday evening suppers at her West State street apartment. The sophomores had barely had time to realize they were sophomores — when splash! — and they found themselves in the glorious maelstrom of society rushing. Crammed date books, disheveled wardrobes, a glamourous confusion of choosing, and incidentally — a few classes crowded in here and there. Eventually the momentous decision was reached and the strange phenomna of hell-week began. The harassed sophomores went rushing about kneehng and openmg doors, wearing fantastic plumes, unmatched shoes, sans make-up, and carrying anything from a bottled goldfish to an autographed egg! The usual sophomore-freshman tangle was adroitly handled this year by the greatly out-numbered sophs. The spirit throughout was one of fun and mischivious rivalry without a trace of enmity. The affair took the form of a party in the gym at which the sophomore class was host. Certain penalties were inflicted upon those freshmen who had wounded the sophomore pride by refusing to wear the green or by snitching sophomore boyfriends or similarly grave offenses. Such severe penalties as walking bare- foot through cold spaghetti or having a nose painted red duly abashed the disobedient ones, and the party ended in popcorn balls and fun. January 2 5, marking Dr. and Mrs. McClelland ' s tea for the sophomores, was un- forgetable, as was the 12th of February, which saw the sophomores recognized. Re- member the inspiring things Dr. Mac said about Lincoln? Wedding bells beckoned more alluringly than class bells for two sophomores. And something brand new — the sophomores sponsored an amateur hour on April 8 in music hall. Very clever! The class dance, April 18 in the social room, was quite the social event of the sophomore year. Perhaps Mary Jane Bickel, dance chairman, and her efficient committees were responsible for that. Already the sophomores — who are fast becoming juniors — are looking toward the lUiwoco of 193 8. Page 49 Filsf Row: Ainsworch, D. Anderson, M.

Ahtram Page 60 THE FRESHMAN CLASS The class of ' 3 9 started out by breaking a record — they stupendously outnumbered any class in the college history — 260 of them! At the official election of officers the energetic freshmen exhibited a bit of the peppy go-getiveness for which they are noted. Though no one knew anyone else they all went dashing about getting up campaign speeches in spite of the pleas and threats of Mickey Wissler, who acted as official silencer for the occasion. For the frosh wanted to be sure to elect the perfect president. They did. Even the green-ribbon, door-opening, book-carrying bondage failed to daunt them. The dear children even admitted they were a bit disappointed in the civil treatment they received. You see, they ' d heard the wild and wooly traditions of sophomore raids and barricades. Then came the proper penalizing of the erring frosh by their tender and loving sister-sophs. At last the wee ones were allowed to feed their green ribbons to the flames — hilariously emerging full-fledged MacMurrayites. To celebrate, they snake-danced around the square and crashed the theatres. Then obediently they cluttered up the front hall for a day or two until all sins had been duly confessed to the dean. At Thanksgiving the freshmen were responsible for the charming autumnal decora- tions in the dining hall. They were in the lime light athleticly too, the navy team being captained by a freshman. Soon the class of ' 3 9 had settled into MacMurray social life. To accomodate the vmusually large number, a new freshman society was born and christened Kappa Nu. The five freshman societies have shared several nice programs during the year. Once Mrs. Schaeffer related her over-seas experiences; another time Miss Hay entertained them at a tea in the social room. Then there was the marshmallow roast in the gym. Miss Scott and Miss Hay entertaining in honor of the eight new freshmen who came the second semester. The entire class excitedly anticipated the arrival of the new freshman from Chile. The banquets at the Colonial Inn were memorable, the frolicsome frosh going formal and ultra-sophisticated for the occasion. Tops were the freshies in the field of dramatics. The plays ranked high in the inter-society competition, and many were the thirty-niners who rated apprenticeship in the Dramatic Club. It was lots of fun, they said, experimenting with make-up and suits that were too big, extemporizing lines, and all. The all-school debate squad boasts a couple of freshmen that were discovered in the inter-society debate competition. The third coup d ' etat in the dramatic field was adroitly performed by the freshmen when they carried off first place in the Wesley Mathers competition. Exams came, as exams do, and the hollow-eyed freshmen watched the midnight oil simmer into dawn. But to brighten the dull thud of grades was the glamour of freshman recognition just in the offing. How proud they were of their new blue and white banner as they sang their class hymn, O Master Let Me Walk With Thee. Mac- Murray realized fully the significance of 260 freshmen. Then came April 2 5 and the freshman dance, with Kaye Spelletich as chairman and Miss Scott giving invaluable assistance and clever suggestions. And just when the freshmen are fully enjoying being freshmen, they wake up to find themselves embryo-sophomores. Time plays strange pranks — even on Freshmen. ORGANIZATIONS have a flare for ganging up and cooperating. Whether prompted by brotherly love, self interest, or just plain busy body tendencies, we have joined the Y. W. C. A. and saved some poor foreign devil ' s soul, joined dramatic club to give our own soul a chance at self expression, and then been joined by the S. G. A. at which time said soul could no longer be called our own. To go on with this concern over so vague a thing, we might add that the Philosophy club offers a tailor-made substitute for I ' ame (yes, soul again), that the Scribblers reel it out like so much fish line, and that the Tironian club is so business-like that the much-mentioned quality is rendered totally un- necessary. We know Cap and Gown is the soul of honor, but as for W. C. T. U. we can ' t vouch a thing; for all we know they may be immune or victims of total abstainence. The reason for all this data on the abstract aspects of organizations at Mac is because we wanted to get as far away as possible from the very loathsome subject of dues payments.

Valiant assistance was rendered by Mrs. Beggs and Miss Remley, the coach. Both teams trekked to Eureka, Wesleyan, and Normal. Knox, Quincy College, and Macomb also engaged in combat.

Besides, it ' s nearing that warm season when new furniture, date nights, and dances must subordinate themselves in preparation for rush- ing. Diplomacy is at a premium and pride and prejudice stalk the campus. So we ' ve decided to save our neck and our tongue and simply list a few words applic- able for societies, letting you take your choice accord- ing to your faith. If you aren ' t satisfied, we recommend Webster ' s Unabridged in lieu of the following list: Political-minded, high-stepping, inspiring, naughty, lame-brained, arrested-development, merry, dizzy, broad-min ded, academic, exciting, teasing, archaic, extreme, literary, luxurious, enviable, super, lethargic, effervescent, tame, personality plused, rushable, effec- tive, sophisticated, land-sliding, vociferous, original, too, too sweet, dignified, and snitzy.

ATHLETICS f rrom MacMurray it is necessary (be you anything from an art addict to a French fiend) to be able to navigate your dead weight across the swimming pool four times in four differ- ent ways and fall into the water in a manner which resembles a dive. This little requirement, along with a term of natural dancing (better known as flitting ) two terms of team sports, and two individual sports, is one of the many which have been designed by the P. E. department in an effort to create as many young Amazons as possible from the underdeveloped little wrecks that float into col- lege. The process is often successful, and, if you live through it, always interesting and entertaining. In fact, it is entertaining twice each week for four years at baseball, tennis, hockey, and assorted muscle jerkers. If at the end of four years of such experi- ences you haven ' t been granted a marble diploma and an R. I. P. by a higher Power, you, as another MacMurray Amazon, will be eligible for that A.B. I ATHLETICS AT MacMURRAY By JESSIE PHILLIPS Scores go up and scores go down but the athletic score went all ways and made a big A-1 mark for the year. With Dr. Katherine Watson, Miss Helen Mahany, Dr. Mable W. Danner, and Miss Jean Hosafros giving us new ideas continually, many grand memories have been seared in our minds. To start the year right (?) the freshmen were cordially invited out to the athletic field to see some of the old girls show off their prowess. Latest model suits were hurriedly dug out of trunks. Much to the relief of the demonstrators, the spectators left at the half (we ' ve wondered whether it was from pity for our breathless states or from greeness), and the conversations which had been carried on between strokes became ani- mated — we were back to play together! Hiking and riding (but not on horses this time) began with a jaunt out to Nicholas Park for the annual Athletic Association picnic. Right then and there we knew we were scheduled for a big year for The i iiiy Team: Gustafson, DeFrates, Cattcrall, Phillips, Johnson, Davis, Dickman, Cox, Clemmons, Cremer, Klupping, Welsh, Western Page 100 The Army idiiu: Scliulzc, Brown, Mitclicl, Frye, Williamson, Whitney, Cully, Cliunilcy, Gcisler, Edmunds, Wilson, Morgan, Morris it was the best attended picnic ever . . . you ' d wonder how we had enough to eat for the food was carried out in Miss Watson ' s austin. Everyone left with smiling faces to dodge through the tormenting drops of rain. Normal invited us over for an inter-collegiate sports day on October 12. It was an occasion to remember as all the girls did their best and thoroughly enjoyed it. The representatives from MacMurray were: Chumley, E., Wiswell, C, Mitchell, M., Kitts, E., Cremer, E., Williamson, J., Morris, M. K., Sey- mour, v., White, M., King, E., Fry, M., Whitney, M., Cincebeaux, J., Geisler, M., Cully, G., Morgan, M. J., Edmunds, J. A., Fillmer, B., DeFrates, D. Superstition stirred in us and we got out our masks, paints, newspaper, or what have you, to go to the Hallowe ' en party. Weren ' t the spider webs awful in the old dark tunnel? And didn ' t you feel sorry for the mice in the Grand March! Were they following Pied Piper of Hamlin ' s music or running away from the tombstone and ghosts in back of them? An evening filled with puzzlement and laughter drove away all horrible hallucinations of witches and hobgoblins. Hockey season means the bliss of chasing little white balls hither and yon and hitting at rhem savagely — that ' s the time we can express our feelings and not have the Humane Society after us. The freshmen believed in hitting, rather than hitting at, the suffering ball and drove it again and again Into the goal. Incidentally (oh, yeah? says freshie) they won the tournament. Page 101 It was fun getting up before the sun had a chance to broadcast the kind of day to play hockey. The frozen ground didn ' t affect our style at all and it was much nicer playing in daylight than in the eye-straining twilight. Our faithful rooters were given a treat of a rare nature one morning. Down the field went the senior team in the very best form and straight for the goal. Twice a bully was taken at center and twice the ball rolled in for a beautiful goal and there was no opposition from the juniors. Why? They had overslept! But one by one they rallied to fight a good game. The tension before the Thanksgiving game was terrific — we just had to get together for a big pep meeting and prove our loyalty to the Army and Navy teams. They were led in by their hard-working and panting mascots (burlap and blankets are hot and itchy) who were so excited they had a great deal of difficulty sitting down. The enthusiasm slackened nary a bit for Thanksgiving Day ' s activities were well attended and many sore throats and hoarse voices were evident for days afterward. Even though the Army squad scored a decisive 3-1 victory over the Navy in a hard fought skirmish on an ice-encrusted field, they didn ' t get the Navy ' s goat. The Army mule and Navy goat were both on hand to encour- age the players as the Army team kidnapped the wrong goat. It was a difficult task choosing the most outstanding players from the well-matched teams but finally the varsity team was announced: Chumley, E., Cully, G., DeFrates, D., Frye, M., Edmunds, J. A., Geis- ler, M., Gustafson, J., Klupping, D., Morris, M. K., Morgan, M. J., Mitchell, M., Whitney, M., William- son, J. Volleyball season rolled along smoothly after the first shock was taken care of — our manager, Julia Williamson, had scarlet fever. This year the teams were organized according to classes and a renewed interest in this popular sport was felt. So many freshmen reported it was necessary to have three teams Hockey Season begins the year Page 102 Mcr niiiiih: V. Seymour, J. A. Edmunds, M. K. Morris for them. Is there something magic about Dot Klupping ' s captainships? Just as in hockey, her team came out on top in volleyball. What would athletics be like without some experimentation? We tried our hand and did not get burned. MacMurray ' s first Sports Day was conceived and produced. Other athletes came to our campus on February 2 2 to show as much strength in sportsmanship as General George showed when he tossed the silver dollar across the Potomac. Five colleges were represented and everyone had a thoroughly enjoy- able time and pronounced the day a huge success. Our chairman, Eloise Chumley, as usual was on tip- toe for every occasion, and our Athletic Association President, Dorothy DeFrates, made a charming hostess of whom we were exceedingly proud. Basketball, recreational sports, archery, deck tennis and bowling tournaments, a swimming meet, a discussion group, and recreational dancing kept every one happily busy. Athletes like to eat as well as play and at noon they stormed the McClelland Hall for an appetizing half hour. At the discussion group, the girls felt they accomplished a great deal for the sug- gestion of having a Sports Day Association was entertained. Each representative departed with one idea in mind — to carry the question back to her college, confident that it would be heartily approved. In February a jump was made from the red into the black and that is a welcome change in any language. Yes, we erased from our minds the red boundary lines marking the volleyball court and fo- cussed our attention upon the black marks which spelled basketball. During the first few practices it was hard making our feet stay where they were when we caught the ball. Some of the girls wouldn ' t face the fact that perchance they might have become a little rusty but got new shoes in hopes their grip Page 103 on the floor would be firmer. That must have helped for it wasn ' t long before the perturbed looks had vanished — we were once more in the swing of things. Balls were thrown at the basket with a purpose and the purpose was fulfilled, we began to find out where our team-mates would be when we needed them, and once again we studied our opponents ' play in preparation for the big occasions — the inter-class tour- nament climaxed by the Army-Navy game. Have you ever heard of zoning? If there is any doubt in your mind about its meaning ask any of our athletes for it — they know! It was the by-word of every practice hour — we ate it, we dreamed it, we puzzled over it, we probed into its ways and means, but we didn ' t quite master it. We do feel, how- ever, that a big progress in our playing technique was made when we were given a taste of it this year. The sophomores and seniors were more alert about grasping its principles and their opponent ' s scores stayed down accordingly. We had better basketball as a result. Well-matched teams were finally eked out of the confusion and the following line-ups appeared dn the floor to fight loyal battles for their respective classes: Seniors Chumley, E. Geisler, M. Storr, M. White, M. Juniors DeFrates, D. Clemmons, G. Cremer, E. King, L. (Faculty members com-Phillips, J. pleted the list as the seniorsCincebeaux, J. had some illnesses.) Nichols, V. Sophomores Frye, M. Schulze, V. Mitchell, M. Cully, G. Kitts, E. Jones, B. Edmunds, J. A. Moyer, M. Freshmen Bost, E. Catterall, A. Fordyce, J. Garland, F. Hoffman, B. Klupping, D. Western, I. Gustafson, J. TAc Army Team: Geisler, Edmunds, Chumley, Schulze, Jones, Frye, Kitts Page 104 The Nai ' y Tciiiii: Clemmons, DeFrates, Bost, Garland, Catterall, Phillips, Hoffman The sophomore group made up a better working unit than did the others and with Mary Frye lead- ing them with her eagle-eye tosses at the basket, they won the tournament. Our best friends sometimes go back on us and Philbert neglected his junior team. They shook hands with him just as cordially as they ever had last year and wer e just as attentive but no amount of coaching would persuade him to treat them kindly. Instead of the juniors claiming the honors this year, they were in line for the tin cup. They think they had more fun playing than any other team for all that! Remember the night they played the freshmen? Picture it for yourself: the ball is on the floor, players rush towards it, they bend down to get it — your guess is as good as mine — is it a freshman in her blue shirt and white shorts who is nearest it or is it a junior in her blue shorts and white shirt?? It was a guessing game all the way through. The score was tied most of the time but the final whistle showed a definite 3 7-34 in favor of the freshmen. Sugar, lemons, a large audience and pep made up the environment for the Army-Navy game on March 5th. Some very good playing was done by both teams but once again zoning proved its value and the final score was 3 9-2 8 in favor of the Army team. The girls who played were: Anil y Navy Chumley, E. Bost, E. Geisler, M. Catterall, A. Schulze, V. Fordyce, J. Jones, B. Clemmons, G. Frye, M. DeFrates, D. Mitchell, M. Phillips, J. Kitts, E. Hoffman, B. Edmunds, J. A. Garland, F. Page 105 No Friday the thirteenth could pass without something happening and March ' s unlucky day was just that for the Army swimming team: They lost the meet to the Navy with the final score of 48-32. Individual winners were: Liddy King — back-stroke and umbrella race, Ingrid Bergstrom — free-style, and Eloise Chumley — diving. Spe- cialty numbers, stunt races and dives added interest to the meet. And who would ever think that the announcement of a shower-bath dive meant the audience would be given one free? It did! How quickly one day comes and goes! There wasn ' t a girl in school who didn ' t have March 24th firmly fixed in her mind — it marked Dad ' s Day. We were proud of the pro- gram we had planned to entertain the dads. The swimming exhibition, under the direction of Liddy King, took them to Hawaii to see versa- Yc piiiy-puiigers tile performers make intricate de- signs in the water. The splash of the water and the soft lighting soothed their tired nerves and started the day out right for them. Dinner was a gala occasion, and it was a treat to hear so many men at one time — we do rather miss them, don ' t we? Immediately after eating, the dads were escorted over to the gymnasium again for a basketball game between Army and Navy members. The girls played their best and presented an exciting game. Dot DeFrates ' long shots just uoiiiti sink right through the hoop to run the score up to 42-31 but it was an evenly fought game throughout. It did please us to hear a number of dads say it was the first time they had seen girls play and that they liked it. All in one day we ushered our dads from the depths of the sea to the heights of heaven; the last in the form of the musical comedy Starling. Our stars lived up to their names and whether they were the Pleiades, Orion, Lyra, or their companions, sparkled and shone brightly. The girls meant it when they sang: Lights out. Dads dear One more perfect day is through Lights out, Dads dear One more perfect scheme come true Now ' s the time for parting So here we ' ll say adieu. Lights out, Dads dear Now we ' ll all go home with you. The scurry that followed an- nounced the girls ' exits for spring vacation. A vacation is a period after which the girls come back to college to rest and yawn (yarn, too, if you ' d rather) away the hours. It wasn ' t long though before try-outs for Riglit back .it you! Page 106 May Day dances were held and class teams were being organized for baseball. The scene shifted from the gymnasium to the athletic field where everyone was kept busy. If base- ball was not on our schedule for the four-thirty hour, May Day practices were. Not a person could complain of not having anything to keep her from becoming bored — we were much too intelligent for that so took an active interest in the preparations for the best day of the year. Having all new costumes this year made May Day even better than usual and we always have been proud of it. Under the direction of Miss Hosafros and Mary Frye hours and hours were spent getting the Field House ready for use. Remember the bob-sled party, open house night, and the get-togethers we had there? Whenever you go out the front door think of Mary balancing her- self precariously on the door sill and putting the last stroke of paint on the floor with only a very small flash- light to show her where it went. This was just another time her agility came to her rescue. There are so many things we have not talked about that our athletes did this year. One senior even took a blind date to a dance, a junior asked her pupils to form a straight circle while she was practice teaching, and i sophomore decided a horse was too high for her and came down with a bank. Besides dances, practice teach- At Home in the S.iddic ing, and horse-back riding, hiking, tennis and ping- pong tournaments, lessons in life saving, and fre- quent jaunts down to Hamilton ' s kept us hopping, skipping, and leaping in true style. Oh, yes, we do learn at college — ask Virginia Coker about skating. Under the new system of awards which gives a girl credit for participation in a sport whether she makes the team or not, we had renewed enthusiasm. The girls who received awards were: Class numeral for five season ' s credit: Mary Frye Gladys Cully Martha J. Morgan Mary K. Morris Virginia Schulze Betty Hoffman Margaret Davis Dorothy DeFrates Bernadine Jones Myrtle Moyer Jane Gustafson Dot Klupping Idella Western Virginia Cox Class monogram for ten season ' s credit: Marjorie Geisler Jeanne Cincebeaux Julia Williamson Jane A. Edmunds College letter for fifteen season ' s credit: Liddy King Jessie Phillips Those girls proved that scores go up and we know that the successful year we have experienced will cause a score to go down in history. Shooting Higli Page 107 A nn T T 7 T nn t i £ One would think ACTIVITIES ,,, , rhythm is our busi- ness, MacMurrayites are such followers of the Terpsi- charian art. Not that Knowledge, Faith and Service still aren ' t of prime importance, for that motto, espe- cially the faith part, is necessarily exercised at every dance. As for the knowledge in the Mac- Murray trinity, the administration handles that by exposing vis to Problems of the Pacific and to an assortment of famed lecturers and musicians in whose light we may bask. At the end of May the art de- partment does its own shining with its annual ex- hibition. The service end of that motto takes in everything from pouring at coffees and shaking hands and being nice the entire length of a receiving line to preparation for Dad ' s Day and May Day. As soon as the ground thaws, inmates drag their excess energy out onto the lawn and learn to dedicate it properly to the spirit of May. Just an old English custom and an- other little detail which not only serves to make block heads well rounded, but puts a polish on them too.

And )ust beneath the window Is a dainty child-cedar Wrapt In a mist of rain-silver. And the rain-black elms Down the street Are leaning under the weight Of a sagging sky .... There ' s a lot of medieval lore In my book, But the whispering poplars Are too busy with the wind To be aware. The medieval lore Should be in my head. It isn ' t. But the lilting child-cedar Is too ecstatic over the rain-cedar To care. The bent, rain-black elms It is that give me pain. Their consecration Returns my mind to the medieval book Oblivious to Trees in the rain. Roberta Jones, Iiitioduciiig MacMurray Beauties A short time before Christmas vacation Professors Adams, Galloway, Pearson, Beggs, Hardesty, Bailey, Blair, Lennox, Fletcher, Mr. Metcalf, and President McClelland received mysterious notes reading: Are you a man who can keep a secret? If so, please come to the Illiwoco room Saturday morning at ten o ' clock. Of course each one came, and you should have heard their sly remarks when they noticed no ladies present. They seemed to think their absence implied they were not to be entrusted with a secret. This carefully chosen group of men had been gathered together to select the most beautiful girls on the MacMurray campus. It was a pretty tough assignment, but they rolled up their sleeves and got busy. Several word battles ensued, and their comments were comical, if not printable. Following is the result of their labors. VIRGINIA ELLIS MAXINE THIXTON EMILENE HARBER EILEEN KITTS MARJORIE MAE BOBBITT MARTHA LOIS BARNETT Once II of May VIRGINIA ELLIS Maid of Honor Myra White Isabel Craig Meridith Storr ATTENDANTS Beth Higgason Louise Feldkamp Rachel Lohman M,iy Oiiccu of ;9; : HELEN WRIGHT MAY DAY May brings with it hot weather, exams, spring fever. But do we mind? No, because it also brings May Day with its glorious queen and Spring Court. Evelyn Odell, ' 39, wrote the plot for May Day, Trouble in Fairyland. Queen Titania was visited by old Father Time and his twelve children, the months of the year. There was a quarrel in the family as to which child was most beneficial to mankind. Father Time petitioned the fairy queen to restore harmony in his discordant family. Each month was to appear before her court and testify in his, or her, behalf, so that she could fairly settle the dispute. January presented a Snowstorm and Snowmaidens dance; February presented a Heart and Fiatchet dance; March called on the violets to give a dance, but they were frightened away by the March Winds. April ' s Rains and Rainbows then gave a dance for the queen; May introduced her May Queen; June ' s Bride did a beautiful dance assisted by roses; Uncle Sam ' s flag dance glorified July; August called upon his fan dancers; September ' s School Children gave a dance; the autumn Leaves and Fiallowe ' en Witches heaped honor on October; November pre- sented the Cooks and Peasants in a dance of Plenty; December shone with glory when jolly fat Santa Claus with his Tin Soldiers and Mechanical Dolls performed. Titania ' s decision was in favor of May — the most beautiful of all the months. She believed beauty in itself the greatest gift to mankind. The children ' s dispute had been forgotten in the joyful revelry and they accepted her judgment gallantly. The winding of the May-poles was held in honor of the Queen of May and her attendants, and joy reigned supreme. The committee in charge was: Lila Underwood, General chairman; Louise Feldkamp, Costume design; Dorothy Layman, Costumes; Mardell Smith, Music; Clarise ShalTer, Dances; Publicity, Mary Jane Dobyns; Properties, Eloise Chumley; Business Manager, Mary Flarney. THE ECONOMIC INSTITUTE Long about February 24 and 2 5 came another institute — the seventh in the history of the college. For a couple of days MacMurray pondered, chin in hand, the Problems of the Pacific. By turning the tables. Dr. Fredrick L. Schuman ade- quately showed us Japan ' s more admirable points. The situa- tion looked plenty serious, but Dr. Schuman obligingly sub- mitted a way out and Miss Alves Long gave us a further peek into the future of the Orient. ' Knit one- purl two knit- But it was awfully hard to concentrate on one ' s knitting with those fascinating Orientals telling us things about our own backyard and that perturbed puddle — the Pacific. Dr. No-Young Park Dr. No-Young Park, in his charming manner, took us back into antiquity when civilized yel- low man considered the hollow-eyed pale-faced barbarians of Europe a joke and not a very good joke at that! Then paging through the centuries we found China like a near giant, rousing slowly to the realization that the impudent shears of Japan had snipped off his coatail and appropriated it as Manchuko. Struck from its hinges was the long discussed open door of China. The world crinkled its brow and shook a forefinger at the unruly Japan. The crinkles are still there — wit- ness the interest in the conference. — I Then Dr. Yutaka Minakuchi took his stand in defense of Japan. Kindly and witty scholar that he was, we all mentally made the necessary adjustments in our conceptions of the Japanese as a nation. The clash between the two Orientalists came in the informal debate. There were plenty of sparks flying as the static in the speaking machine indicated. Such friendly enemies! The banquet in McClelland Hall cli- maxed the conference — loganberry juice and Russian words of wisdom. Although the making of paper dolls (from napkins, pro- grams, and nut cups), or the building of salt, pepper, and sugar castles proved a bit distracting in some obscure corners of the dining hall, the students as a whole ap- preciated the message of Mr. Hindus. Page 120 Mr. Maurice Hindus DAD ' S DAY Dad had to wait until March 24 for his day this year, but it was worth waiting for. In the morning we took him to Hawaii where he saw some wonderful feats in the art of swimming and heard some very nice singing by Peg Chalice and Myra White. Then for an hour we left him alone while he and the other Dads had a private meeting. At 12:30 we took him over to McClelland Hall for a big dinner beginning with fruit cocktail and closing with Apple pie a la mode. Mr. Davison (Jean ' s father) then entertained us royally with some songs and accordian music. Mr. E. E. Crabtree of Jacksonville and Mr. Wootton of Evansville, Indiana, then said a few words and cracked some jokes before the Dads in a body rose and sang some songs for us, including Dad Goes Round and Round. From McClelland hall we all went to the gym where we watched the Army-Navy basketball game. Weren ' t you amused when Dr. Mac tried to explain what team was what? But it was all scrambled n ' est-ce-pas, with DePrates (didn ' t she play a good game). Garland, Phillips, Chumley, Schulze, Geisler on the Navy team, and Mitchell, Kitts, Catterall, Fordyce, Frye, Edmunds, and Bost making up the Army team. The Navy team won, 42-31, in spite of the collegiate cheering section made up of Dads rooting for the Army. Following the game you had to entertain your own Dad in your own way for a short time while the gym was made in readiness for the musical comedy, Starling, written by Roberta Jones. Sally (Jean Davison) wanted to be a movie star. She made Devore (Margaret Chalice) take her to a dance where she saw Ginger Rogers (Dot Rasmussen), Greta Garbo (Jean Whiting), Mae West (Bernadine Jones), Zasu Pitts (Ruth Nagle), Joe Penner (Dorothy Layman), and Stcpinfetchit (Julia Williamson). There she meets Fielding (Dorothy DcFrates), a scenario writer who fell in love with her and gave her her chance to become a star. Other characters in the musical comedy were Sally ' s father, an astrologer, Meredith Storr; Radio announcer, Marjorie Blackburn, and soloist, lola Whitlock. Star dances were given throughout the play and the grand finale, in formation of a star, closed the day with You Are My Lucky Star and Lights Out, Dad ' s Dear — Now We ' ll All Go Home with You.
