CLASS OF 1939 Page 44 FIVE SENIORS FORM CAP AND GOWN On the steps of Old Main immediately after the final chapel of the school year of 1937-8, Helen Webb, Ingrid Bergstrom, Catheryn Buchner, and Sue Shea were received into Cap and Gown, senior honor society. During an impressive candle-lit chapel service at mid-semesters this year, Ingrid pinned the traditional rose and pin on Alice Catterall, designating her as the Cap and Gowner to succeed her. Helen, president of the Student Government Association; Ingrid, S.G.A. vice president; Catheryn, Young Women ' s Christian Association president; Sue, editor of the Greetings; and Alice, a varsity debater, express Cap and Gown ideals of excellence in scholarship and partici- pation in varied activities. Page 45 SENIORS ENTERTAIN AT BALL November 12 meant the Senior Ball with sweet swing music by Hank Messer, Ingrid Bergstrom as the lovely queen, and en- tertainment from the Davison-Marquardt team and the Johnston- Lee tap duo. These were hours for memories ... of the swish of new gowns . . . the fragrance of flowers . . . parchment programs . . . and the glamorous atmosphere created through the efforts of chairman Jean Whiting and her committees. An evening of universal gayety marked the first ball for the juniors, the last for the seniors. Left to right: Grace Marquardt, Mr. Kocsis; Jean Whiting, Mr. Busey; Ingrid Bergstrom, Mr. Kring.

Virginia Moyer supervised the 1938-39 edition of the directory, which has been a class pro- ject of these potential seniors since their green ribbon days. Helen Rhoade managed the post card sales, which were begun last year. Louise McMath served as chairman of the first junior house dance, held in December, and Virginia Bone directed the spring dance. Last year ' s singing sopho- mores maintained their reputation for serenading, with Betty Johnson as song- leader. The class of 1940 is character- ized most, perhaps, by its unanimity and by its enthusiastic spirit of coop- eration.

GAIETY MARKS JUNIOR PROM Soft lights, the swish of silks, strains of music by Eddy Duns- moor, snapdragons ... an atmosphere of gaiety and mirth marked the night of the Junior Prom. Selection of the Princess was kept secret until the evening of the dance; Margaret Cain was crowned just before the grand march by the princess of last year ' s prom, Marion Hyrup. Mary Welch, assisted by her various committees, served as a capable dance chairman. Coffee dances found the seniors and juniors in the society halls where freshmen, members of the juniors ' sister class, assisted in serving. From the beginning of the evening, with the welcome of the receiving line, to the close, when the final note died away, the prom was a de- cided success. ETHA JOHANNABER EARNS CONLEE-KENT CUP Etha Johannaber was pre- sented with the Conlee-Kent Me- morial Cup at Junior Recognition service in November. The cup is awarded each year to the girl who in her sophomore year has best exemplified the MacMurray ideals of Knowledge, Faith, and Service. A math major with a winning personality and a friendly smile, Etha has been an outstanding member of her class since her freshman year. Not only is she a good student, as her straight A record shows, but she is also an active force in many campus organizations, including Theta Sigma Society, the International Relations Club, Scribblers, Press Club, the Greetings staff, and the S.G.A. and Y.W.C.A. boards. As the newly-elected Y.W.C.A. president, she bids fair to con- tinue her enviable record as one of MacMurray ' s most indispens- able leaders. Page 57 SOPHOMORES BEAUTIFY SOCIAL ROOM Pioneer workers in the system of S.O.S. for the orientation and adjustment pro- gram of freshmen, the class of 1 94 1 , whose members act as counselors for entering girls, has been an active and enthusiastic group on the campus. Its Chez Swing, with the Swingcopaters and Patty Nor- bury as mistress of ceremonies, was a decided success, as was the class dance on March 4. The sophomores ' project for the year was the redecoration of the sun parlor off the social room. Corena Deere and Julienne Biasi were co-chairmen for the project. As a class undertaking to raise money, the sophomores collect newspapers and magazines. With a vi- vacious and loyal spirit carrying them forward, the sophomores have endeared themselves to the entire college. First row: Butler, Hitch, Miss Walter, Chapman.

With over two hundred and sixty mem- bers, the class of 1942 has set an all-time record for single class enrollment at Mac- Murray. The bonfire, green ribbons, and a day of silence imposed by their sophomore guardians are outstanding memories of every freshman. The four frosh societies were organized early in the year, and each sponsored an all- school fun night. Am.O ' eur night, tech- nically known as Potpourri, and the Freshman Frolic were prominent events on the social calendar. After a week of orientation, the freshmen stepped into all school activities and made their class an integral part of the college. Page 65 CLASS OF ' 42 Abbott C. Allen M. Allen V.

How Young Women should choose a Voca- tion was the topic of the opening address given by Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse, director of the Insti- tute of Women ' s Professional Relations in New York City. Speakers on special vocations included: Allen Miller, director of the University Broadcasting Coun- cil in Chicago; Miss Anne Sarachon Hooley, founder of the Sarachon Hooley Schools of Secretarial Train- ing in Kansas City and St. Louis; Dr. Jessie V. Coles, associate professor of Home Economics at the Uni- versity of Missouri; Dr. Gladys D. Frith, clinical psy- chologist of South Bend City Schools, Indiana; and Charles F. Eichenaur, editor of The Ouincy Herald- Whig. Dr. Preston Bradley, pastor of the People ' s Church of Chicago, delivered tho banguet address on Courage for Today. Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse Page 79 ANNUAL CONCERT AND LECTURE COURSE A number of well-known artists made the Mac- Murray College-Community Concert and Lecture Course especially popular this year. Perhaps one of the most in teresting from the point of view of the col- lege was Pauline Pierce, who as Pauline Bug had studied at MacMurray. This lovely young mezzo- soprano presented a program successfully designed to please MacMurray girls. Hanya Holm and her troupe of modern dancers offered a most unusual program in their demonstration of the basic movements and rhythms of the dance. Genial Richard Bonelli, leading American bari- tone of the Metropolitan Opera Company, sang to a capacity audience at the School for the Deaf auditor- ium. His varied program included operatic and mod- ern numbers in four languages.

Her dexterity and her beautiful and sympathetic interpretations of both modern and classical compositions made for an appreciative audience. Sheldon Cheney, renowned author, lecturer, and art critic, spoke on the subject of Art and Life Through Thirty Thousand Years, using many well- chosen slides to illustrate his subject. Other features of the series included a lecture on Power and Propaganda by the English lord, Bertrand Russell; one on The Return to Religion by Dr. Henry C. Link, psychologist; and a concert by the Gordon String Quartet made up of Jacques Gor- don, David Sackson, William Lincer, and Naoum Benditzky. Page 81 VARIETY CHARACTERIZES CHAPEL SPEECHES Characterized by a series of varied, but challenging addresses, the administrative chapel services held on Tues- day mornings have proved a vital force on the campus. Aside from the speeches themselves, the senior processional, the organ music, and special choral selections have con- tributed toward making the chapel hour a restful and in- spiring one. Among the outstanding guest speakers were: Dr. Sher- wood Eddy, who discussed the world crisis; Miss Jill Morey, an Australian citizen; Donald Grant, recognized authority on international affairs; Dr. O. D. Foster, who lectured on Mexico, and a number of others who shared their knowledge and experiences with the student body. These debaters are deep in research. Left to right: Marian Payne, Barbara Butler, Virginia Allen, Alice Catterall. DEBATERS MAKE SPRING TOUR With the subject Resolved: That the United States should cease to use public funds for the purpose of stimulating business, the debate team has met numerous colleges during the year. Virginia Allen and Barbara Butler composed the negative team, while AUce Catterall and Marian Payne up- held the affirmative. Non-decision debates were held with Illinois College, Augustana, Blackburn, Western State Teachers College, Principia, Millikin, Lake Forest, Eastern State Teachers C :)llege, Wheaton, Olivet, and Normal. MacMurray ' s team debated also at Blackburn College, Illinois Wesleyan, and Manchester. During March, the 1 3am participated in a broadcast over station WJJD with John Marshall Law school. Virginia Allen and Alice Cat- terall debated representatives of Sydiey and Melbourne universities of Australia. The annual spring tour of the team included meetings with Man- chester, Wooster, Findley, and Swart hmore Colleges. 1 THREE PLAYS KEEP PLAYERS ' GUILD ACTIVE Made up of the best dramatic talent of the college, the Players ' Guild has just completed a year filled with work and activity. Its productions have provided genuine enjoyment for both students and townspeople. This year the club presented Holiday, Mary Jane ' s Pa, and The Silver Cord. The story of a girl who wanted more than money was the theme of the first production, Holiday. Claire Colton very ably played Linda, the feminine lead, and the male lead of Johnny was made convincing by Mary Welch. Other important roles were taken by Joan Baker, Roberta Butler, and Helen Webb. The last play of the year, The Silver Cord, was the story of the selfish love of a mother for her sons. Grace Marguardt played the mother; Harry Story and Bill Clark from Illinois Col- lege were the sons, and Jean Davison and Constance King por- I frayed their wives. m Leit: Part of Jean ' s dramatic training includes work with the speech recording machine; Right: Members of the stagecraft class build scenery for a Players ' Guild play. Page 84 1 ENTERTAINS DADS Frances Piatt took the lead in Mary Jane ' s Pa, the Dads ' Day play. His wife, whom he had deserted and who had supported herself and her children, was played by Betty Zook, while the part of Mary Jane was taken by Ruth Ann Elmore. The plot of this play appealed especially to the dads. The traditional May breakfast in Lilac Court fittingly climaxed the year ' s activities. Miss Remley and Mrs. Schaeffer served as the organization ' s advisers. Page 85 1 Left to right: Price, Phillips, Richards, Ritzinger, Marquardt, Gaunt, Bortz, Rogers, MacDonald, Klitzing. BUSINESS STAFF COLLECTS ADS FOR GREETINGS Competently managing the finance and ad- vertising of t he Greetings, the Greetings business staff has this year introduced out-of-town ads into the paper for the first time. Besides securing advertisements, taking charge of the circulation, and being generally responsible for finances of the publication, the business staff also sponsors the Greetings ' social life, having arranged the Christmas dinner and theatre party, the breakfast for staff members, and the picnic in the spring. As an additional project, the redecoration and re- furnishing of the Greetings ' office was completed.

The Illiwoco editorial staff has worked full time at full speed this year. With the inclusion of the yearbook in the student activity fee, distribution has correspondingly increased. A long-awaited change in the numerals of the book has been made, and this year the title bears the numbers 1939 in place of 1940. Staff members who have frequented the Illiwoco room at steady intervals during the year include: Editor, Alice Alexander; Assistant Editor, Etha Johannaber; Photographs, Beatrice Dickman; Art, Louise McMath; Features, Margaret Cain; Organizations, Rosamond Sizelove; Society, Barbara Hickle; Snapshots, Elizabeth Wilson and Elizabeth Williams; Athletics, Maxine Miller; Engraving, Gayle Yontz. Page 88 FINANCE STAFF KEEPS ILLIWOCO OUT OF RED Left to right: Viner, Mr. Gibson, Klitzing, King, Butler, Spink, Ritzinger. Advertising, finance, and circulation for the Illiwoco have kept the busin ess staff occupied this year. A wide-awake group working with many new ideas finished the advertising cam- paign guickly and effectively. Beginning to function at the first of the school year, the staff sponsored the first all-school dance in order to help finance the yearbook. The staff also sent two representatives as delegates to the Associated Collegiate Press convention in Cincinnati in November. The receipt of the sub- scription money from the activity fee allotment instead of from individual student subscription as has previously been the practice, has assisted a great deal in the problems of the busi- ness management of the Illiwoco. Staff members include: Bus- iness Manager, Ruth Funk; Advertising Manager, Mary Butler; Assistant Advertising Managers, Ann Spink, Connie King, Evelyn Klitzing; Circulation Manager, Sally Ritzinger; Assistant Circulation Manager, Margaret Viner.

Specializing in a capella singing, the group appears for Tuesday chapel services, and pre- sents in conjunction with Madrigal, another mus- ical organization, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter vespers. Because of the populdrity of the choir among townspeople, the necessity for a double vesper service has arisen. Aside from the vesper services, the choir is led each year in a spring concert by its director. Miss Ann Bonan- singa. Miss Bonansinga ' s Hymn of Thanksgiv- ing, published this year, was dedicated to the choir and was a selection on the Thanksgiving vesper program. The group is well known throughout the state, and it accepts many invita- tions to present programs at nearby colleges.

In addition to investigations and reports on present opportunities as well as future possibilities in home economics made by the girls themselves, women now engaged in specialized fields in which the members are particularly interested spoke at meetings of the club. The organization sent five delegates to the Illinois Home Economics convention in Peoria in the fall, and five of its seniors assisted with the American Vocational meeting held in St. Louis in December. Page 91 INTERNATIONAL QUESTIONS INTEREST I. R. C. MEMBERS MacMurray International Relations Club is one of many such organizations which are sponsored by the Carnegie Foundation for Peace on campuses everywhere. Two innovations at MacMurray this year were the induction of new members each semester and meetings on a bi-monthly basis. The programs have been informal — with lively discus- sion on the topics of current international interest. I. R C. this year had a successful open meeting at which Mr. Donald Grant lectured on the European crisis. Books received by the club from the Founda- tion are made available for college use and are placed on a special shelf in the library.

HOOSIERS FORM INDIANA CONCLAVE Indiana Club, formed three years ago, has as its objective the helping of new Indiana girls to become ac- quainted with each other and with the college. A summer picnic, held each year at Turkey Run State Park, draws both old and new Hoosier students. The day is spent in play and in famil- iarizing the new members with the college. During the school year, the club program is kept informal, with the an- nual table parties in McClelland Hall as the main social event.

A December bazaar, featuring their own hand-stuffed animals, was an- other fascinating event on the club members ' pro- gram. Speakers lecturing on varied phases of the field of child education were entertained at the group ' s regular meetings. A rush party in the fall welcomed new kindergarten majors into the group; the spring breakfast in Nichols Park climaxed the year ' s social activities. In April, the club sponsored delegates to the convention of the Association of Childhood Education in Atlanta, Georgia. Kindergarten Clubbers gather in tho children ' s room for their monthly meetings. MADRIGAL SINGS FOR THE JOY OF SINGING Madrigal singers occupy balcony seats in preparation for a vesper service. Inset: Mary ascends chapel stairs to join singers. Madrigal Club, composed of music majors and other lovers of song, meets for an hour Monday and Thursday evenings to sing — for the pure enjoyment of singing, and to prepare entertainment for auditors. Under the leadership of Mr. Cleeland, the club appeared at Thanksgiving and Christmas vespers. Easter vespers and the annual Spring Concert on March 20 were di- rected by Mr. Strickler. Aside from a group of seven- teenth century English madrigals, the club presented Claude Debussy ' s cantata, The Blessed Damozel, with soloists from the college choir.

To speed up work, regular meetings as well as many overnight sessions were held in the cabin, all spare time being devoted to the brush. The club program for the year featured the history of sports. Special programs were given over to each of the sports in which colleges partici- pate. Sport history was used as the theme for the annual sports day, at which time a movie on basketball was presented. During spring vacation, the club sent its president as a delegate to the national physical education conference at Berkeley, California. Dorothy Klupping served as program chairman during the year.

The forty- four members of the club welcome Missouri girls during the summer and give them an at home feeling on the campus in the fall. This year at the club table parties, the theme song, Missouri Waltz, was intro- duced. The program includes house par- ties and swimming parties during the sum- mer and table parties in the winter. St. Louis is the center for summer activities. Energetic in the promotion of college spirit in their home state, the Missouri girls are making plans for the organization of alumnae associations in Kansas City and St. Louis. Missouri girls await the chartered bus which will take them home for vacation. Page 97 Doris scans Press Club write-ups in the Journal.

CAMPUS FOR CITY PAPERS Editor-in-Chief DORIS MICHAEL Secretary EMMA HOLLE Treasurer DOROTHY COOK When a MacMurray girl says I ' made ' my home town paper, it means that Press Club is on the job. This organization of potential newspaper women ferrets out items of interest in college activ- ities for the Jacksonville papers and for the home town papers of all students. Press Club sponsored the extremely successful MacMurray Hit Parade for the annual dance in February. Proceeds from this affair took star reporters on a trip to a near-by metropolitan newspaper plant. The harder workers — accumulators of five hundred points (five points for two column inches of published material) — boast gold merit pins.

PLANS REORGANIZATION With the efficient co-ordination of all the phases of campus life as a central aim, the Student Government Association has accomplished a great deal toward uniting all student activities. The inauguration of the Student Orientation Service, in which the sophomores assist in aiding the freshmen to make satisfactory adjustments, was one of the successful innovations of the S.G.A. Allotment for Hub equipment, the sponsoring of fun nights, the pro- motion of Student Expression Week, the equipping of dormitory kitchens, the founding of the book exchange, and the introduction of a system of demerits were all projects in a widened field of activity. Three delegates attended the N.S.F.A. conference during Christmas vaca- tion. Chief contribution during the year was an extensive reorganization of the internal machinery of the association.

Scribblers ' Club, with membership limited to eighteen, is composed of the winners of a literary contest held each September. The club judges the contributions of prospective pen-pushers and selects the most promising writers to fill the vacancies left by the grad- uating members. The original masterpieces of each Scribblerite are kept in the archives of the organization. The group convenes monthly to criticize and discuss, in round table fashion, modern literature and manu- scripts of prose or poetry submitted by indi- vidual members. To replenish the treasury, Scribblers sell Christmas cards of their own design. In addition to presenting an open meeting each year at which they unveil their creative abilit y, members compete in various national and state contests.

TIRONIANS DISCUSS BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES Combining departmental with social interests, Tironian Club is composed of students taking one or more courses in the commercial department. The meetings of the club include speeches by representatives of local business houses, a coffee for new members, and discussion of concentration problems by senior majors. Programs during the year were arranged along lines of special interest to future business women. For the evaluation of work of individual members, a point system was initiated this year. Winona Cocking won the prize for having the largest total score of points, and she and the fifteen highest ranking members were given an all-day trip to Springfield which included the inspection of a commercial house and a visit to the Lincoln Memorial. The activities of the year were climaxed by the annual banquet, of which Helen Rhoade was chairman.

Page 101 TOWN GIRLS HIGHLIGHT CLUB DANCE Jacksonville girls have united to form the school ' s largest social group. Monthly meetings of the club feature pot-luck sup- pers held by candle-light, and interesting talks by faculty members. The big event of the year on each town girl ' s calendar was the Shamrock Swing, annual dance sponsored by the group, guite appropri- ately, in March. Formally organized with a constitution only last year, the eighty-six members selected Dr. Elsa P. Kimball as their faculty adviser. A picnic held in the spring at Nichols Park topped off a year filled with fun and fellowship. Emma keeps the radio tuned as she relaxes in the Town Girls ' room.

CABINET KEEPS BUSY Bigger and better than ever before is the keynote of the projects carried out by the MacMurray chapter of the Young Women ' s Christian Association this year. The annual pajama party in the fall and the pre-vacation oriental bazaar in De- cember were successful affairs, as were the Christmas party with Santa Claus and the Easter egg hunt, both arranged for young children. This energetic association gave able assist- ance to the local Child Welfare clinic and also supplied the Deaf school with recreational leaders. The World Service de- partment sponsored a spring program for China relief, and the year was brought to a relaxing close with the May Day breakfast.

Page 109 JUNIOR TEAM WINS INTRA-MURAL SWIMMING MEET Swimming has held an important place on the college athletic calendar, being used for recreation, for class instruction, for A.A. credit, for Sports Day competitions, and on Dads ' Day program. During the first semester, the juniors were victorious in the inter- class swimming meet, while the freshman team placed second. Contests in swimming and diving were main events of the Sports Day held March 11, in which teams from Carthage, Normal, Knox, Milli- kin, Illinois College, Western, and the University of Illinois participated. The annual climax of the aguatic year, the water pageant presented on Dad ' s Day, was entitled Kingdom of the Sea, and was written and directed by Peg Davis. These junior swimmers are ready for action. Left to right: Spink, Stoops, Yontz, King, Coates.

I In addition to regular class instruction in archery, one sea- son ' s Athletic Association credit is given for participation in arch- ery upon the completion of five Columbia Rounds. Archers are numerous and the sport is popular, as bows pnd targets are at the disposal of all students. Other recreational sports for which A. A. credit is given are: volleyball, bowling, badminton, ping pong, and tennis. Two ten- nis tournaments are held each year, one in the fall and another in the spring. Ten hours of such recreational spiorts as ping pong, badminton, shuffle board, and dart baseball mjay also be played for credit toward athletic awards. A variety of sports eguipment makes spirited recreation possible for all students. eep the FRESHMAN HOCKEY PLAYERS DEFEAT UPPERCLASSMEN HOCKEY SCORES Freshmen 2 Freshmen 2 Fresh men 2 Juniors 3 Juniors 5 Seniors 3 Navy 2 Juniors I Seniors 1 Sophomores Q Seniors 2 Sophomores 1 Sophomores 0 Army 0 Hockey season, the most popular of the year, began on a frigid November morning. with the pre-breakfast game between the seniors and sophomores. The series of inter-class games which followed determined the freshman team as the most out- standing. Aside from being an intra-mural favorite, hockey is popular as an inter-collegiate sport, as evidenced by the numerous com- petitions in which the college varsity team met other college elevens. The varsity, composed of Davis, Edwards, Ward, Kel- logg, Coates, Klupping, Goerner, Shands, Yontz, Bergstrom, Strawbridge, and Mullins, participated in two sports days. At Illinois State Normal University, they defeated Western State Teachers College 1-0 and Illinois Wesleyan 3-0. At the Univer- sity of Illinois, they won over Carbondale College by the score of 6-0 and over Wheaton College with a score of 2-1.

CLOSELY CONTESTED ARMY-NAVY GAME TERMINATES HOCKEY SEASON Climaxing a hockey season of competition and rivalry, the Navy eleven defeated the Army team in the annual game which is the most anticipated event of the season. The Navy team, composed of seniors and sophomores, wore their traditional white costumes, while the Army players, juniors and freshmen, were clad in brown. To close the fall season, the Athletic Association held its annual hockey table parties, at which Miss Edmunds presented a silver lov- ing cup to Mabel Holle, captain of the freshman championship team, and announced the following varsity players for the coming year: Bergstrom, Klupping, Davis, Coates, Yontz, Strawbridge, Mullins, Kel- logg, Edwards, Shands, and Goerner.

Intra-mural basketball champions in 1937, once more in 1938, and now again in 1939, the juniors are acknowledged as the first in this sport. This year they answered the challenge against their position on the highest rung with skill, assurance, and accuracy. The third year for the Coates-Mahon-Strawbridge forward com-, bination, with Mahon ' s famed shots from center, Coates ' under- the-basket shots, and Strawbridge ' s all-round efficiency augured well for junior success. Viner, captain, was presented with the silver plaque at basketball table parties held at the end of the season. The victorious junior team was composed of: Straw- bridge, Rhoade, Mahon, Alexander, Coates, Huff, Viner, Johnson, Johannaber, McLaren, and Funk.

The Athletic Board, composed of Association officers, sports managers, and class representatives, controls the activities of the all-school Athletic As- sociation. The board sponsors intra- mural sports and awards class numer- als, monograms, letters, seals and rings for participation in team and recrea- tional sports. Progressive, energetic, enthusiastic and fun-loving, its mem- bers are noted for producing many popular events of the school year. Their efforts made the A. A. picnic a memorable series of sandwiches and cider; they planned the annual Sports Day in which visiting college teams participated; they sponsored the Hallo- we ' en costume party and the events of May Day.

Other social events of the group included a chili supper in the hall and ,a fall evening, when dates were entertained at a weiner roast at the park and by dancing in the social room. On the more serious side, regular Tuesday meetings featured guest speakers, book reviews, and discussions led by the members themselves. The B.L. ' s entertained at a tea for the other upper-class societies and for the alumnae. The society held open-house at the annual open meeting held in April, but the spot-lighted social event of the year was the gala spring banquet in May.

Phi Nus recall with glowing memories their Christmas party where a lighted tree and the singing of familiar carols set the stage for the entrance of Santa, complete with whiskers, pillows, and a bag of gifts. Supervised by Marion Hyrup, other programs were varied and clever. February 14 saw Phi Nu as hostess to the school at her open meeting, while shortly before Easter, alumnae were entertained at tea. Gaiety and music marked the dinner-dance held at the Country Club in May. A breakfast during commence- ment week meant a farewell to the seniors. A group of members gathers in the traditional circle to sing Phi Nu songs.

LAMBDA ALPHA MU Founded 1912 The strains of Sweet Adeline, sung with earsplitting gusto by the Gay Nineties Quartet, floated from the merry Lambda barroom where Elsa Maxwell, a la Moyer, paced the gayety; this scene was the high spot of Lambda ' s dis- tinctive rush program. Lambda has become famous for its grand suppers, and this year, with customary cordiality, the new pledges were welcomed with one of the far-famed chili suppers; the coming of Thanksgiving vacation was in turn hailed with a tasty spaghetti supper in true Lambda tradition. With a dinner-dance to begin the new year, a coffee for honorary members of the society, an open meeting and an inter-society tea on St. Valentine ' s day, this group has an enviable record of successful social undertakings.

The Thetas, a merry and melodious crew, came saihng into port with a fine cargo of fourteen pledges, following a sparkling rush week cruise. The society this year founded the Theta Cap and Gown, whereby the outstanding senior society member is chosen to wear the cap and gown belonging to the society. Ingrid Bergstrom and Ruth Spink received this coveted honor this year. A unigue plan for society-given programs, ranging from discussion of the writings of Gertrude Stein to Hindemith music, was carried out by mem- bers. In addition to the annual Christmas ( fin- ger-wave-ten-cents ) Employment Bureau, special projects included the Milk Fund, which was col- lected in a bottle and used to supply milk for an undernourished child. Perhaps the most important social event was the dinner-dance held the evening before the prom, but close runners-up were the freguent Theta sings, and the memorable night spent at the cabin.

With Jane Hall Lounge as a meeting place, the enthusiastic and active girls who comprise Delta Theta Nu society carried out a program of business and pleasure very successfully, with the help of their director, Jean Davison. The society sponsored a fun night in the Hub and a play, Grandma Pulls the Strings, which was their entry in the freshman intersociety play contest. During the second semester, in- teresting features of the group were the unigue tea-dance in the form of a circus, a weiner roast, table parties in McClelland hall, and a bowling contest. A long-to-be-remembered program of the year was that at which Mrs. Schaeffer, in her inimitable way, read poems. Delta Theta Nu ' s biggest affair, the formal spring banguet, was outstandingly successful under the chair- manship of Marion Scott. Norma posts a sign to designate a Delta Theta Nu meeting.

V ' ith determination and vigor, they solved attendance problems through a rol- licking team competition. Programs held in Ann Rutledge lounge included both home talent and guest speakers. No Kappa Sigma can forget the merry progressive dinner which went through the dorms and ended at the home of a town girl. The freshman play contest had its Kappa Sigma Theta entry, The Dyspeptic Ogre, directed by the society adviser, Grace Marguardt. The formal banguet held at the Colonial Inn was under the chairmanship of Vanna Hoffman and ended the full year on a note of gayety. The Kappa Sigma Thetas are shown on the last round of their progressive dinner. Page 131 PHI KAPPA DELTA Pajama parties are a favorite attraction for Phi Kappa Deltas. Alice is playing her daily round of ping pong. Very active girls are the Phi Kappa Deltas! Off to a flying start in the business of gathering honors, they carried away top rating in the freshman inter-society play contest. Their pro- duction, Soldadera, a dramatic story of the Mexican revolution, was directed by Margaret Cain, adviser of the society. Piling success up- on success, the Phi Kappas planned and spon- sored a gay Christmas fun night in the Hub. A packed social calen dar starred such fascinating events as the splash party, the hayride and weiner roast, and the formal banguet. Head- guarters for the programs, plottings, and pro- ductions of this vivacious bunch was the social room in Main.

By way of introducing themselves to the campus, Phi Taus inaugurated in October a series of merry fun nights in the Hub. Then they went on to capture second place honors in the inter-society play contest with their production, Rehearsal. Thus established as an enthus- iastic group, the members had an active year under the guidance of Evelyn Klitzing, adviser to the society. Frequent jolly informal meetings were balanced by a tea at which Phi Tau en- tertained upperclass alumnae, and by the for- mal spring banquet. Participation in the annual amateur night added to the fun of the year.

Part One: Title, Fresh September Hoped-for income: (the glorified goal) 1. From organizations for pictures $ 750.00 2. From subscriptions (definitely at least) 2,000.00 3. From our advertisers (an easy sweep of) 950.00 4. Net Profit from Benefit Dance (surely at least). . . . 75.00 Ah! That makes $3,775.00 Speculative Expenses: (OH Utopia) 1.

Eguipment (well, let ' s see, we ' ll need stamps, sta- tionery and perhaps a little glue) 5.00 5. Cost of Convention Trip (we can be thrifty, can ' t we, Alice?) 300.00 6. Incidentals (as a typewriter, victrola, dust-cloth and breakfast in bed at hotel in Cincy) 2.00 Which will only be $2,707.00 Says Ruth: Therefore, Alice, the way is smooth sailing, for you see we have a balance of $1,068.00.

From Organizations (due Feb. 1; still dribbling in. Treasurer Allison is striving persistently to dig half- dollars from Indiana Club members.) Memo: St. Louis Club gave us an lOU for payment next year — what softies we be! Anyway, finally $ 632.32 2. From 578 students 1,589.50 (with much gentle persuasion and reminding of the Business Office for our share of subscription money.) 3. From advertisers (also still dribbling in. They were good to us, but aren ' t they the benefitors with such increased dividends pouring in as a result of OUR EFFECTIVE LAYOUTS? We MacMurrayites are choosy as to whom we sponsor.) Well, finally. . . . 650.00 4. Net Profit from Benefit Dance (loss due to fact that Illinois College let oppcrtunities slip in making pre- dance dates.) Well, anyway, Alice and Ruth finally decided to go 1.40 Total, sad but true $2,873.22 Grim-Reality Expense: 1. Cost of Engraving (Oh, yes, bigger and better pic- tures) $2,000.00 2. Cost of Printing (we just must have more pages, more color, and more special electros, and more tipped pictures— only $1,000 more) 2,300.00 3. Photography (thank heaven for that contract). . . . 100.00 4. Eguipment (glue is terribly expensive) 150.00 5. Convention Expenses (Alice bought an extra ice- cream cone and ice-cream is high in Cincinnati) . . 900.00 6. Incidentals (economized by forfeiting the victrola) .50 Total, oh horrors! $5,450.50 Deficit $2,577.00 Says Alice (in a gulping tone of voice): Perhaps Tommy H ' orsey would have been all billed up anyway. Says Ruth (who is also a good sport): Which means we can stay at dear ole MacMurray for another nine or maybe only eight years making up those bills. OH lOY! .1, .ma ' . a song of shadows . . 1 I I i n O € o of nineteen hundred thirty-nine junior class of macmurray college o 7 these shadows of o year, caught in a shadow-box of pictures, black on white reflections of words, these shadows of our life ore here forever captured vividly to look at now and again and remember... the shadow-box discloses the administration and fa classes when we learn together when we play together features odvertisennents and dark pillars silhouetted against Ann Rutledge doorway poplars grow slim by macmurroy hall . . to the memory of our beloved friend, Jane Areson MocMurray, we dedicate this book. With her husband, Senator MocMurray, she was on infallible benefactress of the college. The warmth of her kindliness still surrounds us here. During her life she hod an indomitable faith in humanity, a trust that we will never betray. Whatever we may do that is fine, whatever we may do that is honorable, will be the more worthy becouse of her faith in us. highlights of endeavor and inspiration silhouette faculty and administration . . .

Mary, president of Student Government associa- tion; Betty, editor of the Greetings ; Blanche, vice-president of the S.G.A.; and Marjorie, presi- dent of the Y.W.C.A. were chosen as outstanding in scholarship, in extra-curricular activities and in their expression of college spirit and loyalty. Poge 40 SENIOR BALL November 6 brought the event for which juniors and seniors hod been soving their best boy friends and their new formals — the Senior Ball. Doris Overbey, Ball Choirnnan, and her comnnittees had worked hard to moke it a success — and we weren ' t disappointed. Looking back, the juniors recalled all the nice things about the Boll — clever programs, smooth dancing to Chuck Cartwright ' s music, coffee dances, the thrill of the Grand March, with Miriam Grove as Queen. The entertainment was fun too — Hawaiian songs sung by Sylvianne Li, and harmony by that well-known soph quartet — Jetty Preminger, Max Miller, Alice Spillman, Betty John- son. Midnight found us all tired — but wasn ' t it worth it? EILEEN KITTS, MR. BONE, HELEN WEBB, MR. FILSON, DORIS OVERBEY, MR. FREY, MIRIAM GROVE, MR. VAN GORKOM Page 41 VSisr.

Helen ' s loyalty and charm make her highly deserving of the award. Page 55 JUNIOR CLASS ENTERTAINS AT ROSE PROM The calendar said January 15, but the scene in the social room said June, for the occasion was the juniors ' Rose Prom. Flans for the event were secret; who was the Rose Princess? Everyone was wonder- ing, but not until the doy of the dance was she revealed to be Morion hlyrup, pretty and popular junior. Prom-goers were reminded of June in January when Marion and Grace Morquordt, Prom Chairman, with their escorts, led the Grand March beneath rose-covered arches. Later, juniors and seniors danced to the care-free notes of Johnny Courtney ' s orchestra, or enjoyed coffee dances, entertained by the talented freshmen, with Johnny Baker as on accomplished mistress of ceremonies. The dance over, we reluctantly returned to January, but we laid carefully away in our memory books, with the blue and white programs, the gay and colorful Rose Prom. MR. BONE, EILEEN KITTS, MR.

IWhen IWe Learn loqether MANY ATTEND DEDICATION OF NEW DORM With the dedication on October 3 1 , 1937, of the new residence hall, named Ann Rutledge hall, MacMurray College reached a new height in its development. Judge Florence E. Allen of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals was the principal speaker, and Bishop hi. Lester Smith of Cincinnati gave the first address. Greetings from the Illinois College Federation, the Metho- dist church and the state government were brought by delegates to the dedication. Held on the wide, elm-bordered lawn before Ann Rutledge hall, the dedication ceremonies were attended by over 2,000 people. Through the generosity of Senator James E. MacMurray and of his late wife, Jane Areson MacMurray, Rutledge hall is at its completion one of the finest dormitories in America. It was built to correspond with the Georgian style of architecture used throughout the college at a cost of over 200,000 dollars. DELEGATES FROM FAR AND NEAR BRING GREETINGS Paga 71 HAMPDEN AND MILDNER APPEAR IN SERIES POLDI MILDNER, PIANO VIRTUOSO A part of every MacMurray girl ' s education is her opportunity to hear outstanding musicians and artists in the wide variety of interest offered by our Artist ond Lecture Series. First of the lecturers this year was Walter hlompden, whose renn- iniscences and readings we enjoyed very much. Two days later we heard Paul Stassevitch, violinist, and, in November, Arthur Compton, noted scientist, relating science to other aspects of modern life. The latter months were crowded with events — the brilliant playing of Poldi Mildner, young pianist, the vivid picture of Spain given us by John Langdon-Dovies, and hHorry hHonsen ' s comments on American lit- erature. In April we heard the PessI, Blaisdell, and Essex Trio of antique musical instruments, and on May 2, the last of our series, the deep, rich contralto of Morion Anderson. Page 72 CHAPEL TALKS STRESS FOREIGN PROBLEMS The one-hour chapel services on Tuesdays this year have made it possible to have outstanding speakers often throughout the year. Sub- jects discussed in these chapel periods hove been varied to suit the interests of every type of listener. The speakers heard this year included ministers, professional men, and experts on notional and international problems. We gained inspiration and material for thought from the addresses of such speakers as Dr. John Thomas, whose topic was Learn to Do Weil, and R. Allan Stephens, Springfield lawyer, who, by giving examples of many who have turned defeat into victory, urged us to do the some in our lives. Mr. Charles F. Eichenauer, editor of the Quincy Herald-Whig, asked us to use our knowledge and experiences in college life to create New hHorizons for Inquiring Minds. In the field of education, Dr. hlorry C. McKown, with wit and common sense, challenged us with his question: You ' re o College Student — So What? hie pictured the personality well-rounded by college, developed socially, spiritually, and intellectually. One of the most difficult problems confronting our country today is that of economic insecurity, and the means for remedying it. Three phases of the problem were presented by chopel speakers here this year. Dr. Rufus C. Rhorem spoke on health insuronce and various ways of obtaining it. His subject was hlow to Pay for h ealth. Dr. Rupert B. Vance, research professor in the problems of the Southern tenant farmer, presented the situation of the Farmer without Lond. Finally, Maxwell S. Stewart, noted economist and associate editor of The Nation, discussed the question of unemployment and old age insurance. International affairs were the sublects of talks by three chapel speakers. Miss Eliza- DR. NO-YOUNG PARK beth P. MacCullum, Canadian League of Nations official, spoke on the various as- pects of the Jewish problem. Dr. David Bryn- Jones gave us a clear, concise summary of the present serious situation in Europe. Dr. No-Young Park, authority on For Eastern affairs, presented to us his views on the Chinese-Japanese conflict and its possible relation to the United States and Europe. Dr. Park is no stranger to MocMurroy as he spoke here at the Economic Institute several years ago. The chapel speakers this year took the place of the Institute on world affairs that is usually held at MocMurroy in the spring. The Institute last year dealt with religious prob- lems. Poge 73 DEBATE TEAM TAKES EASTERN TRIP The debaters, coached by Mr. Gibson, debated on the question, Resolved: That the National Labor Relations Board be ennpowered to en- force compulcory arbitration of all industrial disputes, hlolon Webb, Mary Butler, Barbara Butler, and Jone Ellen Jones connposed the of- firnnative team; Ingrid Berg- strom, Doris Michael, Solly McDonald, and Ruth Saund- erson, the negative. Non-decision debates were held with Blackburn, Principio, Olivet, Monmouth, Knox, and Bradley. Our squad attended a pre-season tournament and March 25, the state tourna- ment at Normal. February 16, upholding the negative of the question. Re- solved: That the sit-down strike is a just weapon in the hands of organized labor, the team won a decision over de- baters from two Canadian universities. The crowning event of the year come in April when, from the 1 0th to the 20th, the team debated various Eastern colleges. Page 74 SCHOOL YEAR REVIEWED IN PAGEANT Dad ' s Day has a double reason for being one of the most important events on the calendar: besides being the day when we entertain our dads, it marks the beginning of spring vacation. The day begins with the annuo! water pageant in the morning. This year the pag- eant was a review of some of the events of a year at Mac- Murray. The swimmers pic- tured a chapel service, the Boll and Prom, a spread, and the Junior Barn Dance. At I 1:00 the dads held their meeting, and at 12:30 we all flocked to the dining hall for dinner. Everyone met in the gym again at 2:00 to see the one- act plays given by the Play- ers ' Guild, hiardly hod the curtain fallen on the first. The No ' Count Boy, when it rose again to reveal o backstage version of the play. The sec- ond play, The Family Man, was a domestic comedy. A perfect day ' s ending come at 4:00 — vocation and home! MacMURRAY MERMAIDS IN SOME FORMATION SWIMMING Page 75 WOMAN OF THE STREETS GUILD PROVES VERSATILITY The studies of Rose Marie Mohrdieck, one as a laughing gypsy, one as a tragic immigrant woman, one as a crystal gazer; of Jean Davison as the woman of the streets; and of Grace Marquordt as the inip, Puck ore an excellent illustration of the talent in characterization and emotional study found in the Players ' Guild. The Guild has, too, proved its versatility this year — producing anything from stage hands to directors. As their first production last fall they gave Dickens ' Cricket on the Hearth. Others during the year included three clever one-act ploys on Dad ' s Day, and George Eliot ' s The Spanish Gypsy, given for commencement. They are now using a new sys- tem, based on the old English guild system. New members enter as apprentices, then become journeymen, and finally, masters. At the spring banquet the outstanding masters in the acting field ore given the honorary degree of Bat, and in stagecraft, that of Workman. A delightful Guild custom is the May Day Breakfast featuring radish sandwiches in Lilac Court. Page 76 Slowly the house lights dim, the mellow voice of the Story-teller begins, the curtains port, and with a delighted Oh from on eager audience, The Cricket on the hHeorth has begun. This ploy so oppropriote to the spirit of Christmas was presented December tenth in the gym by the Players ' Guild. Dickens lived again indeed in the chorming little kitchen and the dilapidated toy shop; and the merry chirp of the cricket found its way into every heart! Page 77 BROADCASTS HIGHLIGHT CHOIR YEAR Besides chapel these blackrobed songsters ' main per- formances of the year are in the Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter Vespers. Contrary to custom, they donned formols for their spring recital; their music also was of a lighter vein. Their breadth of music appreciation is further shown by their successful Choir Hop, one of the first oil-school dances of the year. hHighlights in their activities ore their participation in Monticello College ' s Bach Sym- posium and their broadcasts over KMOX in St. Louis, and WTAD in Quincy. Trips to nearby cities, college, church, and club programs keep them busy.

The aims of the club ore to guide the broadening of the students ' knowledge in the wide-spread field of Home Economics. The events sched- uled for the year included a style show, April I I, spon- sored by the clothing department and a waffle supper, March I 8, sponsored by the foods department. The March and April meetings gave to the members an opportunity to become better acquainted with the personalities of pio- neer and contemporary home economists. The foreign ele- ment of the program was represented by talks on Family Life and the Pharoahs and Consumers Cooperatives as Observed in Europe. The element representing our coun- try was an illustrated lecture on Spode china and earthen- ware.

Its principal purpose is to help the new students conning from Indiana to get acquainted with each other and the school. In this way it has been one of the factors in increasing enrollment from Indiana. A high point of the club ' s activity is an all stote picnic which is held at Turkey Run State Pork during summer vacation each year — including MocMurroy girls, post, present, and future. Indianapolis alumnae, inviting girls from all over the state, give a tea during the Christmas vacation. This club also provides all the Indianions with many a social get- together for the winter terms.

The monthly meetings are characterized by their educational value, usually featuring a guest speaker who is a specialist in some phase of childhood education as art, health, or story-telling. Every one remembers the Christmas Bazaar with its floppy yarn poodles, gingham dogs, and calico cots which the girls made themselves. Then the relaxation of a grand kid party, with the club members forgetting their dignity and giving A Day at the Kindergarten for their guests. In the spring a program by the children was arranged; among other clever numbers there appeared the Kindergarten Rhythm Band.

Their program this year called for the presentation of two concerts, one in collaboration with the College Orchestra. hHitherto, the group has presented only one concert a year. The regular spring concert included a group of pieces of the classical era, two modern songs of the late Gustav hlolst, and a group of Russian songs. At the second con- cert, the group presented the Cantata Stabat Mater by Pergolesi and Clokey ' s Nights.

This club has as its chief purpose provision of social organization, and also an inviting room for study and recreation, as the campus headquarters for Jackson- ville students. Their biggest project, this year, has been the improvement of this room . . . including refurnishing it with attractive maple lounging divan and chairs given by Mrs. McClelland, besides improving their lighting for study. As a fitting climax to their year of activity, early this spring they sponsored a successful dance on the campus.

During the Christ- mas season, the members were busy with the annual party for underprivileged children, the customary caroling, and then the Oriental Bazaar which was so successful that it was repeated the next week. Later in the year, the Y. W. C. A. sponsored the Day of Prayer and the always- popular Heart Sister Week, winding up the functions with the May Day Breakfast. Interest in the annual Y. W. C.

The beginners learn the funda- mentals and rhythms and practice ex- ercises in directions and lines. The in- termediate class does some textbook work, studying the history of the mod- ern dance and its present trends. On November 20, those interested trav- eled to Springfield to see the famous Joos Ballet troupe perform. February 12 a group went down to Monticello college in God- frey, Illinois to attend a mod- ern dance symposium, hianya hHoim, well-known exponent of modern dance gave val- uable instruction to the en- tire assembly. After dinner, Miss Holm ' s troupe present- ed a recital. For the more advanced students there is a modern dance club which meets with Miss Mahony every Wednes- day evening to study form, design and rhythm patterns, and to interpret the Ameri- can dance. They devote their workout periods to studying advanced techniques and to the development of the struc- ture of the dance. To be eligi- ble for the club, a student must have hod at least one semester of modern dance. The charter members ore Jane Ann Edmunds, ' 38 and Dorothy Klupping, ' 39. Try- outs were held at the beginning of the first semester and seven new members were admitted: Mary Frye, Jean Davison, Jetoline Premin- ger, Dorothy Varnum, Nina Koelin, Betty Stockman and Dora Krug. Again in March after try-outs, seven more members were token in: Ruth Lee, Constance Sauter, Betty Johnson, Ingrid Bergstrom, Sally MocDonald, Mary Sue Wootton and Rachel Wise. Marguerite Clarke is the pianist. A small group went to St. Louis on April 4 to see Martha Graham, most famous of oil American modern dancers, ac- companied by the composer, Louis hlorst. Page 100 INDIVIDUAL SPORTS AIM HIGH, YOUNG LADIES, AIM HIGH! Few sports are as valuable to a girl after she graduotes as those which do not require teamwork. At MacMurray, the individual sports — archery, bowl- ing, hiking, badminton and table tennis — are as enthusiastically received as the team games. Archery is taught in physical education classes and may also be used for A. A. credit. Carol Knapp and Ruth Singleton, expert archers represented the college at the Normal Sports Day early last fall. Bowling has been more popular this year than ever before. Students use com- mercial alleys in town. The majority of the bowlers ore those enrolled in recreational sports classes, olthough there are a number of others inter- ested. These classes also in- clude instruction and prac- tice in badminton, table ten- nis and dart baseball. These games as well as shuffle board are available in the gym dur- ing free hours and in the eve- nings, hiiking is a year- ' round activity. Groups of three or more girls may take four five- mile hikes for one season ' s A. A. credit. Girls usually utilize free Sunday mornings to tramp along the road afoot and light-hearted. BASEBALL Baseball is a major team sport with a regular Army-Navy game which was won last year by the Navy. The game this year is scheduled for June 2. Last year ' s tournament was won by the class of ' 39. VOLLEYBALL Volleyball season ended just before spring vacation. There is no Army-Navy competition; the juniors won the tourney for the sec- ond time. Page 101 HOCKEY Hockey — the most popular sport at MocMurray! From the first days of school until Thanksgiving, this fast-mov- ing game dominates our ath- letic program. This year, after the tournament ended with all three upper classes in a tie for first place, the fol- lowing girls were selected to ploy for the Army and Navy in the annuo! game. Army: Jane Anne Edmunds, captain; M. Coates, V. Cox, J. D ' Arcy, M. Frye, M. Mor- gan, M. Morris, J. Ryan, V. Seymour, G. Yontz, and E. Kitts. Navy: Dorothy Klupping, captain; I. Bergstrom, A. Cotterall, J. Causey, M. Dick- man, C. Gates, J. Gustofson, E. Irwin, M. Mohan, B. Pork- man, R. Spink and C. Shands ABOVE: THE NAVY. BELOW: THE ARMY. Contrary to tradition, the Army-Novy gome, instead of being played on Thanksgiving day, took place the Saturday before. This was necessitated by the four-day Thanksgiving recess. Before the gome began, the Army players, led by a realistic Spirit of 76 trio equipped with flog, fife and drum, marched out from Ann Rutledge Hall. The usual cus- A CLOSE MOMENT IN THE ARMY-NAVY GAME tom of parading the Army mule and Navy goat was ob- served. The field was covered with snow OS the teams lined up for the first bully. From the moment the starting whistle blew, remarkably bril- liant, fair and speedy ploying was displayed by both sides. The Juniors and Freshmen were too strong for their ad- versaries; however, and the final score was 5-0 in the Navy ' s favor. Poge 102 THESE VARSITY PLAYERS ARE: GATES, COATES, FRYE, D ' ARCY, MULLINS, BERGSTROM EDMUNDS, KLUPPING, PARKMAN, MORGAN, SEYMOUR. VARSITY This year ' s hockey tourna- ment ended in on unusual three-way tie among the Sen- iors, Juniors and Sophomores. Because of the excellent, clean playing exhibited by all the participants, the task of selecting the Varsity was a difficult one. The team cap- tains, student coaches and members of the A. A. board finally announced the follow- ing as outstanding players worthy of the honor: Mary Frye, Jane Ann Ed- munds, Victoria Seymour, Martha June Morgan, Sen- iors; Ingrid Bergstrom, Doro- thy Klupping, Juniors; Rita Mullins, Julie D ' Arcy, Mori- ello Coates, Sophomores; Carol Gates and Betty Park- man, Freshmen. The scores for the class games were: Senior, 2 . . .Sophomores, 2 Juniors, 5 Freshmen, 0 Seniors, I Juniors, I Sophomores, 3 .Freshmen, 0 Seniors, 5 Freshmen, I Juniors, 3 . , Sophomores, 3 Page 103 ARMY TEAM, STARTING BOTTOM CENTER, TO THE LEFT: MULLINS, MAHON, STRAWBRIDGE, RYAN, MORRIS, VINER, FRYE, COATES. BASKETBALL The sophomores won this year ' s basketball tournament for the second time, hav- ing been champions lost year when they were freshmen. So outstanding were they that five of their players were placed on the Varsity as compared with one representative from each of the other classes. The fact that six sophs were on the Army team proved to be a distinct advantage: Army sank the Navy 39-16 in the annual gome, March 7. From the beginning of the tourney, the sophomores held the upper hand. Their quick, accurate shooting, featuring Mahon ' s brilliant long shots, Miller ' s deadly over-head angle baskets, Cootes ' spec- tacular running-in for short under-the-basket shots, com- bined with Strawbridge ' s cool assurance from any place on the floor, soon piled up the points against their oppon- ents. Any chance their rivals did get at their own basket Page 104 NAVY, IN THE SAME ORDER: GATES, GUSTAFSON, GARDNER, WHITEMAN, KLUPPING, COOLIDGE, VANDERPOOL, FORDYCE. was soon broken up by the snnooth team play of the sophonnore guards. All of the class gannes were exciting and relatively free from fouls. One of the closest games was between the seniors and juniors, ending with the juniors ahead, 24-23. Klupping scored the winning point on a free throw. One of the most ballyhooed encounters was the one between the sophomores and freshmen. The former had won both games, the frosh hod won one and tied one. This meant, then, that if they defeated the sophs, they would be the champions. Although the youngsters went down by a score of 35-15, they ployed a brilliant gome and didn ' t give up until the lost whistle blew. In the senior-freshman gome, both teams ran wild during all four quarters. The final score was 12-12. The Army was composed of seniors and sophomores: forwards — Mariello Coates, ' 40, Eleanor Mahon, ' 40, Lucy Strowbridge, ' 40, Mary Frye, ' 38 (sub.); guards — Jean Ryan, ' 38, Marge Viner, ' 40; Rita Mullins, ' 40, Margaret Morris, ' 40 (sub.) The Navy team, consisted of juniors and freshmen: forwards — Dorothy Klupping, ' 39, Vivian Vanderpool, ' 41 , Gwyneth Whiteman, ' 41 , Jane Gustafson, ' 39 (sub.); guards — Carol Gates, ' 4 I , Jean Gardner, ' 41 , Bethy Coolidge, ' 4 I , Juanita Fordyce, ' 39 (sub.). The Varsity, selected from the best players on the Army and Navy was Coates, Strowbridge, Mahon, Viner, Mullins, Ryan, Gates, and Klupping. Class standings for the tournament are: won lost tie points Sophomores 3 0 0 139 Freshmen I I I 55 won lost tie points Juniors 12 0 76 Seniors 0 2 1 48 Page 105 TENNIS Tennis, always a popular sport at MocMurray, became even more popular when the four new concrete courts just southeast of Ann Rutiedge Hall were finished this fall. From the first worm autumn days at the opening of school until it is too cold to play — even in ski pants; and from the first hint of spring until commencement, the courts are filled with enthusiastic lovers of the game. On October 23, representatives were sent from MacMurray to the intercollegiate sports day at Normal, Illinois. To select the players, an elimination tournament was held with seventeen girls participating. Betty Johnson, ' 40, defeated Juanita Fordyce, ' 39, for the championship — the second time she has won the right to enter the singles at Normal. Juanita Fordyce, and Janet Rosain, ' 41, entered the doubles contest. Besides tournament ploy, several physical education classes for beginning, inter- mediate and advanced students are offered, under Miss Mohany and Miss Walter. These classes learn the fundamentals of serving, various standard strokes and general rules of the gome. Members are required to spend two hours a week on the courts. SEEN THROUGH THE BACKSTOP Poge 106 OFFICERS ARE: FRYE, PRESIDENT; EDMUNDS, VICE-PRESIDENT; MOYER SECRETARY- DAVIS TREASURER; MISS WATSON, ADVISER. The personnel of the board includes the following sport managers: Strawbridge, hockey, baseball; Coates, tennis, recreational sports; Morris, swimming, basketball; Ryan, hiking, riding; Klupping, vol- leyball, archery. Class representatives: Sermour, senior; Spink, junior; Mullins, sophomore; Parkman, freshman. A. A. BOARD The A. A. board, composed of the A. A. officers, sporf managers, and class representatives, holds the responsibility of managing seasonal inter-closs tournaments, traditional entertainments such as Dad ' s Day and May Day, and the annual socioi affa irs which include the all-school picnic and the htallowe ' en party. The board this year has introduced several innovations. Its new organized recreational program gives credit for recreational sports which hove been popular on the campus, but which have not, until now, been accept- able for athletic credit. The lengthening of volleyball and swimming seasons is another of this year ' s changes. In addition to this, tournaments ore now arranged so that every girl who tries out for a team has on opportunity to play in competitive games. Early this year, the board voted to appropriate a sum of money to the P. E. cabin, making it open to use by all students free of charge. Rita Mullins was in ch arge of the annual hiallowe ' en party this year. Beverly Welsh manages A. A. publicity. Jane Ann Edmunds is responsible for monthly chapel meet- ings and presentations of athletic awards.

This year ' s skit was cleverly worked out from the old folk tale, The Golden Goose, the story of the unsmiling princess and the efforts made to make her lough. The Y. W. Breakfast, the banquet, the pageant, the May Doy Dance, mode it a memorable day for our mothers, thanks to Mary Jane Bickel, chairman, and her hard-working committees. The queen ' s court consisted of Eileen Kitts, maid-of-honor; Virginia Wingett, Myrle Walter, Mary Jane Bickel, Morjorie McConnell, Doris Overbey, and Mary Browning.

An outstanding event of the year was a February banquet carried out in a Pan-American theme. Phi Kappa Delta society collabo- rated with the Kappa Sigmas to make this event a gala one. Roasting hot-dogs and toasting marshmaliows make this jovial group think of the November picnic at the home of Carol Corruthers.

Giving credit where credit is due — such enthusiasm can be well explained by the unique programs planned by their program chair- man, Margaret hHeineke and presented by the many tal- ented Phi Kappas. Their winning second place in the Fresh- man Inter-society Play Contest and their later presentation of a second ploy signify Phi Kappa ' s active participation in the Dramatic Point System. Balancing this more serious side were the social activities, the Jane hHoli formal tea, the popcorn ball Christmas party, and the Travelogue banquet.

The Intruder by Maeter- linck, directed by Liddi Rowe and Virginia Billingsley credited the society with the coveted first place award in the Freshman Inter-society Play Contest. Such social events as the teas, the grab-bag Christmas gift party, the Inter- society banquet of the Colonial Inn, the spring picnic, show that the Phi Tous ore living up to their motto — Vim, vigor, and vitality!
