His interest in our college, mani- fested by his liberal gifts, is deeply appreciated by all who share the opportunities of MacMurray College. JANE ARESON MacMURRAY Because of her concern for the welfare and advance- ment of MacMvirray College students, Jane Areson Mac- Murray is loved by all of us.

Hilarious reunions, hasty introductions, banging doors, dropped suitcases, ceaceless chat- ter, and spontaneous laughter are all a part of the general hubbub. Vacation i over and school has hegini.

Page 21 OCTOBER October, the saddest time of all the year to the poets, is one of the happiest times of all the year to the freshmen, for they are just beginning to feel at home in their new surroundings and are beginning to enjoy college life with all the zest and zeal that only freshmen are capable of. Their necks are still green- ribboned, it is true, but at the end of the month on Halloween, they gather around a roaring bonfire and burn the symbols of their enslavement. In their mind ' s eye, th v are shaking off the dust of the past and looking forward to a happy year and a successful career in college. We wish them luck. I Back Row: Forrer, Nostrum, Spink.

Page 31 NOVEMBER November brings athletics into full swing at MacMurray. Smartly outfitted young misses are seen galloping down out-of- the-way country lanes; shouts of glee and the sound of much undue splashing emit from the swimming pool windows of the gym; multi-colored arrows whiz through the air to innumerable bull ' s eyes (and misses) ; tennis balls rebound on the concrete courts; and hockey sticks clash on the athletic field. On Thanks- giving day, even the most bookish of 1) o o k w o r m s turn out for the annual Army-Navy game; the frisky goat and the aged mule are much in evi- dence; and excitement runs high. The athletic season is at its peak. i j n The remodeling of the old gymnasium was a very important build- ing project on the campus late in the past summer. The improved swimming pool is the most outstanding achievement of the renovations. Besides lengthening the pool to sixty-five feet and deepening it to eight feet at the north end, comfortable new bleachers have been erected on the east side of the room so that a considerable number of spectators can easily be accommodated at special exhibitions and competitive meets. We owe this wonderful improvement to the generosity of Mrs. Ira Blackstock, who with her husband was the one responsible for the original pool when the gymnasium was built in 1916. On Founders ' Day, October 10, 1936, this building was renamed. It is now the Hardtner Gymnasium, in honor of Mrs. Blackstock ' s parents. Dr. and Mrs. John Hardtner. On Dad ' s Day, March 24, even though everyone was counting the seconds until they could depart for vacation that evening, the spectators in the bleachers were numerous, for Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and their friends were about. The title of the water pageant was Mickey Mouse Learns to Swim. The competition for Minnie Mouse was be- tween Cicero, the Cat, and Mickey; but when Mickey learns to swim, Cicero takes a ducking out of the picture, and as all good Mickey Mouse stories end, Minnie and Mickey can now go peacefully hand in hand in the elementary back stroke. Page 35 The members of an archery class practice their form. Archery There is every reason why archery should hold an equal place among college athletics with hockey, swimming, basketball, and volleyball. It is an all-around developer. Muscles, brain, nerve, and a steady eye are required in the game and are used simultaneously, giving the archer strength, judgment, self-control, and keenness of perception. This and the tingling exhilaration that comes from being out in the open with the wind blowing in one ' s face no doubt explains why archery finds many enthusiastic supporters at MacMurray in both the spring and the fall. Another sport which is quite popular in the spring is baseball. This year there were quite a few girls who finished up their year by playing a hard and consistent game of baseball with an enviable record. Their hitting and sometimes their missing was something to write home about. Volleyball also has its adherents and is an excellent exercise during the winter months when outside sports are more or less impossible. Tennis has always been quite popular at MacMurray. Classes are held for elementary and advanced instruction, a tournament is conducted with a silver loving cup as the reward for the winner, and a great many play in their spare moments just for the fun of it. This year, however, the courts were torn up most of the tennis seasons due to the erection of the new dorm, so tennis was confined to the gymnasium. It will be back into its own next year with new and improved courts. Page 36 A tense moment in the Thanksgiving Day game. Hockey The MacMurray hockey season was in full force when the yellow and the blue whipped Bradley Tech, 5-0, on Saturday, October 24, 1936, at Illinois State Normal University. On the same day, the team won one tilt and also lost one to Charleston. Can we ever forget that night coming home from Normal, and how many, many times we had to turn around to find the little one (the Austin) who coughed because a grain of sand was in its little iron pipe? That was a great day in many ways and one that will not be soon forgotten by the participants. In the inter-class tournament this year the juniors rebuffed all the other contenders and came out as champions. They won two games and tied one to gain the coveted first place. On Thanksgiving morning, despite the falling snow, lines of cheer- ing students were seen out on the athletic field clad in various and numerous articles of clothing. They were watching the annual Army- Navy battle which was as exciting as usual. The goat came through as the victorious mascot, for the Army was downed by the Navy, 2-1. The seniors and sophomores made up the Navy team, and the Army team was composed of juniors and freshmen. At the close of the season, the Athletic Association held its annual hockey banquet. At this lime Miss Watson announced the varsity hockey team for 1936. The players are as follows: Mahan, Edmunds, Frye, Strawbridge, Klupping, Bergstrom, Mullins, Johnson, DeFrates, Morris, and Morgan. Page 37 The Army Team: Carlburg, Mover, Spieth. Ryan, Johnson Mahon, Dashner, Zwissler, Coates, Strawbridge, Morgan, Edmunds, Frye, Mullins, Seymour, Morris. The Navy Team: Mahan, DeFrates, Chilton, Gaunt, Phillipf, Gustafson, Western, King, Bergstrom, Klupping, Dickman, Lough, Nolting, Johnson. Welsh. Page 38 Intermission: At the half of the Thanksgiving Day game, the Army supporters rally around their mascot, an obliging old mule, and give a few lusty yells. The Victor: The Navy mascot, a snow-white goat, becomes a little head-strong when he learns victory is his, so that Marie Johnson has to hold on tight. Page Horn, Jones, Mills, Triplett, Mahon, and Preminger. Riding Mary, Thunder, Tony, Al, Silver Mac, Tommy, Cricket, and Queen! These names will bring back many happy memories of early Sunday morning jaunts at the Country Club; horseshows before an empty grand- stand; riding lessons; feeding Queen sugar while Silver Mac stamped his feet angrily and Thunder looked on wistfully. Saturday mornings inevitably found Jicky and the Austin waiting for Mrs. Banner and Miss Watson to come in with Tony and Al. Remember how calmly Marie said, Get down, to Thunder when he rared with her? Remem- ber how gracefully Al took fences and ditches? Then there was the day the new horses came — Goldie, with that lovely burnished coat; Avarice, with all her dignity; and young Tommy, walking like a dancer, and making us laugh because he looked so like a second Napoleon. Those who are not devotees of this sport have no idea how fascinat- ing it can become and how much fun it really is. Horses are very lovable animals, and they all say it isn ' t very easy to forget how your favorite horse looks when you walk down the row and feed him sugar, carrots, bread, or whatever you might have in your pockets left from a between-meal lunch. There were very few days when the girls couldn ' t go out, and spring has found many more potential equestriennes to be companions to those who have mastered the art of horsemanship already. It is expected that next year there will be even more participants. Virginia Gieseke and Barbara Healy enjoy a game of table tennis. Recreational Sports Recreational sports have their place in the athletic set-up and are the favorites especially of those who are not so vigorous in their athletic inclinations. They are practised both in class and outside of class super- vision by many who find keen enjoyment in the competition and exer- cise they afford. Perhaps the most outstanding of these recreational sports is table tennis or ping pong as it is sometimes called. Then there are also deck tennis, badminton, shuffleboard, and dart-throwing, all of which are an excellent recreation for a rainy afternoon. We have a new dart-throw- ing target which is brightly painted with several vivid hues and perhaps partly accounts for the increased interest in this diversion. This is the first year we have had bowling and it has made quite a hit. Two bowling outfits were purchased and now find quite a bit of use. The girls are also allowed to play at the bowling alleys uptown and do so quite frequently. This year, also for the first time, a bowling tournament was introduced into the Sports ' Day program. Another truly recreational sport, although not offered in class work, is that perennial favorite, roller skating. The popularity of this sport flourishes mostly in the spring of the year when the campus is filled with girls whizzing past on the four-wheeled contraptions, with their eyes bright and their curls flying. Page 45 DECEMBER December is a month of much hustling and bustling in Mac- Murray corridors, for like all women, we do love our club- bing, and the Christmas season gives us the best excuse in the world to exercise our inclinations in that direction. There are Christmas trees to be decorated for innumerable parties; Christ- mas cards to be sold for organi- zation benefits; Christmas gifts to be made for the Y. W. child- ren; and Christmas music to be practiced for the seasonal vespers. There is scarcely time for a wink of sleep, a bite of food, or even an evening out, but we don ' t mind in the least — the fact of the matter is we adore it. WE CAROL Barbara Mason I j I I I 1 THE S.G.A. BOARD Seated: Smith, Webb, Phillips, Kitts. Standing: Clark, Fiske, Horn, Gore, Cox. Student Government Association The S. G. A. has gone aesthetic this year, for it lifted the burden of sponsoring the annual May Day pageant off the shovdders of the A. A., as well as buying a piano for Jane Hall and renting a nickelodeon for the social room. The board, though known best for the punishments meted out to those who break rules, gives the annual tea for prospective students from Jacksonville. During Christmas vacation, Geneva went to New York to attend the national convention of student government asso- ciations. She reported that our rules are lenient compared with those of other schools. Page 49 The Y. W. C. A. OFFICERS President RUTH BONN Vice President ELIZABETH KING Secretary MARGARET DASHNER Treasurer BLANCHE SMITH Ruth Bonn President The Y. W. is busy from the opening day of school when the big and little sister party welcomes the freshmen to our campus until the next year ' s cabinet are initiated during the last week of school. In between come the Thanksgiving tea dance, the Y. W. benefit dance, and the bazaar, caroling, and a party for underprivileged children at Christmas time. The play for the Day of Prayer, Where Love Is, Heart Sister Week, and the Easter party proved the versatility of this group. The open meeting was a new feature of the calendar. It was introduced to explain their aims. THE OPEN MEETING After the open meeting held in the early fall, coffee was served in the social room, and a social hour enjoyed. THE A. A. BOARD Seated: Seymour, Moyer, Fowler, Miss Watson, Davis, Welsh. Standing: Edmunds, Western, Cremer, Frye, Bergstrom, Catterall, Healy, King. The Athletic Board The A. A. has been frivolous at times as well as very industrious. Their Halloween party was great fun, even if going through the long and dark underground tunnel was spooky. In addition to sponsoring the intramural sports, they gave us the A. A. picnic, which even those who lay no claim to Amazon prowess could enjoy, and they managed Sports ' Day, which included something new this year — a bowling tourna- ment. The Mickey Mouse water pageant they put on Dad ' s Day will never be forgotten. Last of all came the May Day dance, which was indeed a lovely climax to their year.

The Greet- ings is characterized not only by excellent form, but also by spicy con- tent. The news stories compete with features in interest, and the ques- tionnaires and beauty contest are rated as most exciting. You surely must remember the editorial about Peace of Mind which provided material for three chapel talks. Humor is provided by Cabbages and Kings and anonymous poetry. GREETINGS EDITORIAL STAFF The efficient editorial staff gets down to business dashing off news, features, and editorials, checking proof, and pondering over the make-up.

Standing: Gates, Healy, Proemmel, Smith, Hanson, Joyce, Earnhardt, Knapp. Greetings Business Staff The great achievement of the business staff has been to balance the budget, which has not been too easy because they started out with a debt inherited from previous staffs. Virginia Nichols carefully counted the pennies after each issue and reported just how much the next issue could cost, while Jeanne Cincebeaux marched quite boldly up to adver- tisers and demanded payment for value received, acquiring also various souvenirs for her own entertainment. Corners were cut with a shrewd- ness any financier could envy with the result that they are now com- pletely out of the red. OFFICERS Business Manager VIRGINIA NICHOLS Advertising Manager...

This ended their gaiety, however, for getting the wherewithal to pay for this issue occupied the remainder of their year. Those who assisted the officers in getting subscriptions from students and ads from stores were: Margaret Dashner and Alice Lukeman, Assistant Advertising Managers; Mary Frye, Kay Scott, Mary Margaret Puckett, Jane Hall, Betsy Hanson, Virginia Wingett, Wilmina Cohlmeyer, and Florence McLain, subscrip- tion solicitors.

LOUISE TOLLIVER Press Club explained itself by punning through a skit in chapel, but just in ease you don ' t remember, they are the little bird who tells your home town paper about it when you do something extraordinary. Too, they get the news of your activities, from the Junior Prom to chapel speeches, into the Jacksonville papers. Once in a while they become less prosaic as, for instance, when they staged the Valentine Dance with its Queen of Hearts. The redecoration of the Press Club room, the weiner roast at the Adams ' home, and the coffee given for Mrs. Routt show their versatility.

The Scribblers ' Club Scribblers ' Club is best known at Christmas time when we spend our nickels for their pretty Christmas cards. The contest for the best card was won this year by Roberta Jones, whose drawing of the dining hall was the perfect setting for her poem expressing our wishes for the holidays. The veil of mystery surrounding their real activities was pierced at the open meeting where the members read their masterpieces in public. Their archives are kept as a depository for original works read and discussed during the meetings of the year — a true nursery for liter- ary genius.

Discussions this year became most lively when the topic related to the election. The club became more inter- national again when that issue was settled.

Page 58 THE INDIANA CLUB For many years a large number of the college ' s students have come from Indiana, so this year the Hoosiers got together and decided to form this club. The Indiana Club Last August at a meeting of MacMurray students, past, present, and future, from all over Indiana, this club was organized. We first became conscious of its existence on December 11, a date which any Hoosier will recognize as the one hundred twentieth anniversary of Indiana ' s entrance into the Union. All fifty of the members appeared at table parties and made the roof ring with Indiana songs and cheers. The meeting at Turkey Run. inaugurated last summer, is to be an annual affair. Advisers of the club are Miss Remley and Miss Swearingen. Peg Davis is the pep committee chairman. OFFICERS President _ _ ..MARY PASCOE Vice President ...

Talks by guest speakers at the monthly meetings provide the former. Their Christmas party was exciting be- cause of clever dramatizations of Christmas carols, the star actor being Dr. Harrison as the camel in We Three Kings of Orient Are. Then, in April, they donned formals and had a banquet at the Colonial Inn. Their ingenuity was shown in the decorations, which carried out the theme of an April shower with spring flowers, umbrellas, and rainbows on the place cards and favors.

Home Economics Club The Home Ec Club is quite original in the way it fills the coffers, for the members plan and prepare fancy refreshments for private parties and school affairs, including the Senior Ball. The waffle supper, given in March, contributes to the same end. Besides discussions on subjects concerning application of Home Economics training, the programs in- clude talks by outside speakers on subjects of especial interest to the group. The Tironian Club was entertained in December, following the turn-and-turn-about tradition. Favors were boxes of their own delicious lab-made fudge. OFFICERS President .

It is especially enjoyed by those who cannot find time to take work in the music department, but like to keep their music up while they are in college. Meetings are held Thursday of every week, and arduous toil is continued until the twelfth of March, at which time the club bursts forth into a blaze of melody and white dresses at the concert. This occasion is quite popular even among the inmates of Tin Pan alley, who have been hearing the practises all year. Miss Bonansinga is their able director. THE MADRIGAL CLUB MacMurray College ' s appreciation for music and interest in it is shown by the fact that the Madrigal Club is one of the largest and most popular of all the various organizations on the campus.

The College Choir Our appreciation of the choir varies with our moods during chapel, but they come into their own when they sing for vesper services. Their versatility was shown in the skit they produced to advertise their dance. Musical inhibitions and the dignity of black robes were cast aside while they rendered Shine On, Harvest Moon and went dramatic with an unique version of Little Nell. They broadcasted from KMOX, the radio station in St. Louis, and sang for church services in Decatur, Quincy, and Pekin. Here ' s to many, many more seven-fold Aniens for future MacMurrayites !

We might say it is be- cause this is the month of those dreadful and disastrous semester exams, and the sophomores, having progressed beyond the freshman year, are now for the first time arrived at the point where they are taking their studies and, consequently, their exams more seriously than formerly. On the other hand, this might give too grave an aspect to a group which we know to be essentially fun-loving and carefree, so we shall devote this section to them simply because we like them and ad- mire them and would not under any guise be vithout them.

FEBRUARY February portrays societies as they are fundamentally. The delightful gaiety and intense ex- citement of fall rushing have long since faded into the gone hut not forgotten past. Pledges feel themselves old timers by now, and all efforts are devoted to putting on successful open meetings and date nights, to wax- ing musical and cultural in the closed meetings, and to entertain- ing the alumnae, honorary mem- bers, and sister societies at tea. Sororal feeling reaches new depths, and each girl in her secret heart rejoices once again that she is a Belles Lettres, Phi Nu, Lambda, Theta, or what have you.

Delta Theta Nu To two members of Delta Theta Nu, Nancy Barnard and Yvonne Morris, went first place in the freshman debate tournament. x-Vlso, second place in the inter-society play contest was awarded the society for their play Fiddlesticks, directed by Marjorie Vernon. The group was quite busy this year with table parties and social meetings. One of the latter was held at the home of Mary Hemphill. It is yet to be decided who ate the most popcorn there, and who got away with the most weiners at the weiner roast held on Margaret Cain ' s lawn!

The informal initiation was held on November 2 and formal initiation the day follow- ing. After this, many gay events filled the social calendar. First, they had a weiner roast at Nichols park, and next came a scavenger party where everyone had great fun. Then who could forget the unique recuperation party in Music Hall? Their play, which was directed by Betty Zook, won first place in the play contest and was also given at an alumnae banquet in Chicago. And did the grads like it! SOCIETY GET-TOGETHER Phi Kappa Delta, one of the largest of the freshmen societies, enjoys a friendly get-together in the attractive living room of the Corner Cupboard, where they frequently hold their meetings.

Phi Tau Epsilon Last year ' s officers formally initiated the new members of Phi Tau Epsilon on December 8. In the fall, the society entertained themselves at a chili supper in the Field House, and at a combination monopoly and bridge party. Their play, The Wedding, was directed by the presi- dent, Jetaline Preminger. On February 27, they had their formal dinner at the Colonial Inn. A large picnic with plenty of good food, a swimming party, a long hike, and many other good times occupied them this spring. There is no denying it — this society has pep!

One morning its memhers tumbled out bright and early to go to the Halloween breakfast at the Field House. Then the Christmas party came along, a bit more formal but just as much fun. Next on the calendar were the Valentine table parties for Miss Scott — pardon me, I should have said Mrs. Fogler! March 6 will be long remembered as the date of the formal spring ban- quet held with Phi Kappa Delta. A very original program was worked out and enjoyed by both societies with Gayle ' s of laughter. STYLE SHOW Kappa Nu holds a style show in the gym to show the fashion-conscious young miss just what is the correct apparel to be worn on the college campus from early morning until late night. e86 A TEA PARTY In the group are: Phillips, Whitmer, Schmuesser, Johnk, Piatt, Staskey, Gage, Price, Huber, Severson, Jackson, Vance, Russell, Krautheim, Leonhardt, Williams, Stauffenburg, Zimmerman. Kappa Sigma Tlieta Kappa Sigma Theta has had lots of fun that this year ' s members will long remember. Among its activities were a chili supper, a formal tea, a gay Christmas party, a splash party, and for the hardy ones (or perhaps the early risers) a breakfast hike. The hike was glorious with perfect weather, wonderful pancakes, bacon, and cocoa until torrents of rain unceremoniously brought it to an end. The annual formal banquet was held with Delta Theta Nu and Phi Tau Epsilon. Susan Gage served as general chairman and was a very good one, too. Page 87 MARCH March we devote to the dra- matic and forensic activities on our campus, for we feel that we owe much to those individuals whose realistic character interpre- tations on the other side of the footlights make us laugh and sigh with genuine emotion, to those who defend the name and honor of our Alma Mater on the debate platform against the onslaughts of other colleges, and to our dis- tinguished guest speakers at the Economic Institute, whose fiery oratory, convincing arguments, and ready wit bring an intellec- tual reawakening to those individ- uals of our number in whom such a phenomenon is at all possible. ON DAD ' S DAY Beverly Welsh A scene i roiii tlie Dads ' Day play. ' Tiie Kieli oiinj; Man. ' Dads ' Day March 24th! From near and far, from city and village, the dads came to see their darling daughters and to join in the festivities of the day dedicated to them. It was a veritable Open House with men, men everywhere. First on the schedule was the swimming meet. Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, and his Minnie furnished the laughs with their antics and aquatics hefore the real stars demonstrated their prowess in smooth swimming and diving, climaxing the performance with a lighted candle formation spelling the word Dads. We can ' t forget the high- light of the program when the old maid was plunged into the water rather unexpectedly, hat and all. Then came the annual meeting of the dads to settle what affairs of state no one knows. Finally dinner! How the dining hall rang with the unaccustomed sovmd of men ' s voices in great volume as everyone joined in the singing. More musical notes were offered by the instrumental trio and the Madrigal Club. After words from Dr. Mac, the jovial Bishop Waldorf gave an after-dinner address regarding the laying of the corner- ston e of the new dormitory. Everyone then went over to the new building to complete the necessary rites and to inspect the progress made in the construction. The most impressive feature of the day was the religious drama presented by the Dramatic Club, entitled The Rich Young Man, with Jane Ellen Warrick in the leading role. The beautiful costumes, stage setting, and inspired acting made the play truly effective. The play over, it was back to civilization — for spring vacation. Page 91 The Dramatic Club OFFICERS President MYRLE WALTER Secretary EILEEN KITTS 1 reasiirer ELIZABETH KING My RLE W,4LTER President The Dramatic Club began its year auspiciously by providing some- thing different in the way of Thanksgiving plays, The Lottery Man. An added feature of the year ' s program was a recital by Mrs. Lilly entitled The Gold Gleams. The club presented for Dad ' s Day The Rich Young Man, a religious play combining a beautiful and inspiring theme with gorgeous settings. And all this was done with a lower charge for tickets ! Phi Kappa Deha ' s play, As The Tumbrils Pass, the win- ner of the tryout contests, was presented at a meeting of the Chicago Alumnae Association. THE LOTTERY MAN ' The Lottery Man, a clever comedy, was the first play of the season. t Page 92 DRAMATIC CLUB COFFEE Mrs. Schaeffer reads the play script to the members preliminary to tryouts. The Dramatic Club Club entrance requirements were made a bit more difficult this year, but once in, the apprentices and the members had more fun than ever before. Recitals presented by various members at coffees and reg- ular meetings were an innovation. The May Day Breakfast, with its cherished tradition of rye bread and radish sandwiches as the main feature of the menu, was served on long tables stretched across the lawn in Lilac Court. Social festivities were brought to a climax by the formal banquet at which the new members were initiated. A clever program was presented by the group of initiates. Advisers MISS DOROTHY REMLEY MRS. MARIAN CHASE SCHAEFFER Miss Remley Adviser Page 93 Alice Catterall, Jeanne Cincebeaux, Nancy Barnard, Doris Michael Debate Jeanne Cincebeaux and Doris Michael upheld the affirmative, and Alice Catterall and Nancy Barnard defended the negative this year on the debate question: Resolved: That the extension of consumers ' cooperatives would contribute to the public welfare. Mrs. Beggs and Miss Remley assisted in the preparation. The affirmative debated Mon- mouth in the first encounter of the season. The full effect of Jeanne ' s first speech was lost, however, for those who gazed about searching for the gentlemen who were addressed in her oratorical Ladies and Gentlemen. Then the debaters left our wing and ventured into the world with the first stop at Knox in Galesburg, where two debates were held. The next day the negative team debated De Paul University in Chicago, after which the affirmative team met the University of Chicago. Both teams were ready to begin when it was discovered that the Chicago team had prepared on the question of minimum wages. Before long, how- ever, another team was found and all was well. The climax of the trip occurred when Jeanne and Alice participated in a round-table discussion over WLLD on the Debaters ' Forum program. This was a big thrill to them as well as to those of us who listened in. The lunch with the bar association of the John Marshall Law School, who sponsored the radio program, was greatly enjoyed by the girls. The season ended with debates here with Rockford, Illinois Wesleyan, University of Illinois, and a final combat with an Illinois College girls ' team in which the contention was over cooperatives, not over I. C. men. Page 94 The Economic Institute Melville J. Herskovits The annual institute, held on April 19 and 20, Avas dedicated to consideration of Human Relations from Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant viewpoints. Its purpose was to promote mutual understanding and apprecia- tion so that ultimately harmony in mankind may be attained. Rabbi Ferdinand Isserman struck a key- note in the opening address as he made a plea for unity and cooperation in accomplishing greater objectives in the light of the things we have in common. He pointed out that after all, we have more likenesses than differences and that our Gods are really the same God. We should do away with racial and class dif- ferences if we want to make real progress. Professor Mary Gilson graphically con- vinced the array of femininity before her that they must be even more aggressive, intelligent, and determined before the attitude of inferi- ority towards their sex can be effectively erased. Feminine consternation mounted as their downtrodden status was elaborated. The men in the audience wriggled uncomfortably and eyed each other with guilty looks. Miss Gilson further maintained the necessity of democracy at any cost. Professor Delton T. Howard dexterously perverted our energies into the throes of philosophy and the intricacies of civilization patterns. Sister Mary Eva concluded the morning session with her well formulated views on cooperation in the field of education. Professor Melville J. Herskovits, anthro- pologist, said that any comparison of races is merely relative, a fact quite disconcerting to the egoistic starch of the pink race. The final session of this eighth institute was held in McClelland Hall. Dr. James H. Graham spoke concerning Religion, the Tie that Binds, and Dr. Harold L. Bowman spoke on Cave Dwellers in a Modern World, in which he urged us to emerge from caves of prejudice and fixed ideas into the light of tolerance and change. Much credit for the success of this con- ference goes to Dr. James M. Yard of Chicago, who is chairman of the national board of Christian- Jewish relations. Delton T. Howard Page 95 APRIL April we dedicate to those de- lirious, disarming, dismaying, and distinctly delightful individuals, the juniors. Like April, they are a synthesis of tears and smiles, an unpredictable, unknowable quantity whose actions you can never anticipate, nor moods analyze, but who can always be counted on to come through with a bit of uniqueness, ingeniousness, and originality when occasion arises, or necessity demands. They are the essence of chic and versatility. They have poise, they have personality, and they have wit. They are gay, they are merry, and they are lots of fun. They are the jolly juniors.

Mary is well known for her cheerful, unassuming manner, her unceasing work on numberless committees, and her good scholastic standing. Serving as class president in her second year, she showed outstanding executive ability and led the green and white banner through a most successful year. As a well-rounded individual, possessed of that irresistible MacMurray charm, we give you Mary Angeline Pascoe.

Many were the miraculous recoveries from the flu epidemic im- mediately prior to this festive occasion. Unfortunately, some could attend only in spirit. Among other things, rain added its complications. Lucky dorm girls! Town girls hopped puddles and ran between the drops as best they could, arriving breathless and dewy. Nevertheless, rain did not dampen the dancing mood. First came the Grand March with the prom chairman, Jane Ann Edmunds, looking very adorable in filmy blue, followed by the class presidents, poised and radiant, whose handsome escorts beamed with pride and importance. Soon dancing got under way to Vernon Peake ' s fast moving tempo. Heavenly, wasn ' t it, to be there dancing with the cream of mascvilinity while the husky-voiced vocalist sang Stardust and things happened to your heart? Then weren ' t you surprised when Mary Browning, Doris Overbey, and Mary Pascoe stepped up to the mike and harmonized? During the coffee dances, couples ambled down to the society halls for refreshments. When fully revived, they returned to the social room to join the kaleidoscopic panorama for the last few dances. All too soon the orchestra was playing its theme song. Another perfect evening had gone with the wind. Forlorn seniors sighed, It ' s our last Prom ! Now tucked away in the memory book is a little gold and white program to call to mind that prom so delicious, so delightful, and delovely! Page 105 M A Y The spirit of May is a combina- tion of festivity, fantasy, frivolity, and fun. The air is balmy; the out-of-doors is beckoning; and the school year is almost over, so studies are forgotten and every- one relaxes into the gentle, easy- going mood of May. Our hearts are light, and life is gay. For these obvious reasons, we feel that it is quite fitting to devote this section of our book to the products of our lighter moments, to a bit of this and a bit of that — in short, to the brain-children of our imagination. Call it what you wish — scrambled eggs or inspira- tion; our only hope, and that a sincere one, is that you will like it.

For weeks we anticipate this day, beginning with the election of May Day chairman followed by the vote for May Queen and her attendants, not to mention the frequent letters home reminding mother she is expected to be present on May 15. There are long hours of prac- ticing, but finally, with the cooperative efforts of the whole school and particularly the Depatoents of Art, Music, Home Economics, and Physical Education, preparations are completed. If the weather man does not choose to be unreasonably tempermental, the pageant is indeed a lovely spectacle of grace and beauty in the spirit of Maytime. The plot of the fete this year was an original one written by Evelyn O ' Dell and concerns Father Time, his twelve children (the months of the year), and the latters ' efforts to determine which is most deserving and beneficial to mankind. To settle the dispute, the graceful snow maidens, hearts and hatchets, March winds and violets, April rains and rainbows, the Queen of May, roses and brides, flags, fans, school children, witches and autumn leaves, cooks and peasants, and Santa with his toys and dancing doll appear before the court in turn to compete for the title. May is acclaimed winner with her gift of beauty and is crowned Queen of the day. There is joyful celebration as the merry May Pole dance is done for her pleasure. May Day is not complete without the May Dance in the evening. It is a grand finale of a glorious day, besides being the last dance of the year. All praise to Marjorie Blackburn, May Day chairman. It is a great day!

Last minute book reports, term papers, and concen- trations are hastily gotten in; social obligations are graciously fulfilled at the senior tea; caps and gowns are given a much needed pressing; and finally the great day arrives. The dignified procession of faculty and gradu- ates appears on the scene some fifteen or twenty minutes late; an inspiring address fails to pene- trate the daze in which the seniors are living; diplomas are presented; tearful goodbyes are said; and college days are over.

The last year ' s members of this honorary group come singly down from their exalted position on the front steps of Old Main. By the token of a rose and a kiss, each one selects her successor from the ranks of the junior class in the crowd that is gathered below. Thus, in a few brief fleeting moments, one of the finest of MacMurray traditions is fulfilled once again. The purpose of Cap and Gown, the senior honorary society, is to give recognition to excellence in scholarship, achievement in extra cur- ricular activity, and the quality of college spirit and loyalty. The members this year were outstanding in all these requirements. Their personal magnetism and their college record make them more than worthy of wear- ing the coveted pin of Cap and Gown. Rachel Lohman, Dorothy Conover, Margaret Whitney, and Meredith Storr, members in 1936, could not have found a better membership for 1937 than in those they chose: Geneva Carver, president of the Student Government Association; Ruth Bonn, president of the Y.W.C.A. ; Dor- othy DeFrates, president of the Athletic Association; and Jessie Phillips, vice president of the Student Government Association.

Senior Ball Soft lights, superb music, and the scent of flowers spell glamour, the word synonymous with that long anticipated event, the Senior Ball. Then it is that the excited juniors take their first venture into upperclass social life. Ecstasy pervades dignity. After the gracious receiving line, which proved not half so formidable as we had feared, we went into the social room into the midst of the swishing formals, gay laughter, and the crackling of stiff-bosomed shirts to dance to that sophisticated swing interpreted by Red Maxfield and his popular orchestra, direct from the University of Illinois campus. Soon came the Grand March with the lovely Dorothy DeFrates reigning as Queen of the Ball. Then the business of consulting those darling white suede dance programs for reassurance that this dance had not been traded. Worries and cares seemed very remote as one danced with the one and only and he said those thrilling little things any woman loves to hear. During the intermission entertainment was provided by the well- known Doyle trio and by Jane Ellen Warrick, who is an accomplished tap and acrobatic dancer. Coffee dance already! Couples drifted toward the society halls for the refreshing pause we had all been waiting for. Everyone seemed to be in a haze of happiness in a subdued sort of way. Then, dancing was resumed again. Once more hearts throbbed to a pulsating tempo. Reluctantly, we noted the evening was drawing to a close. Had the time flown so soon? It had been perfect. Thank you, seniors, for a beautiful time. Corsages were a wee bit wilted .... oh well, the dance may be ended but the memory lingers on.
