5 ' I . Henry I feiffer Library- Mac Murray College Jacksonville, Illinois s life passes swiftly onward, the most any of us can glean from the flying years are impressions of the moment. These pic- tures become stamped upon our consciousness, and comprise our store of memories which endure despite the ravages of time — fleet images of people hurrying down the years, of buildings growing against the skyline, of white winters, delicate green springs, blazing summers, and flaming autumns scudding by in swift succession. Our personalities are moulded by these photo- graphic images; we are a part of all that we have met. Upon this principle this book is established, and we have endeavored to make these pages into an album of scenes grave and gay during the year nineteen hundred and forty - forty-one at Mac- Murray College. Our hope is that we have included those faces and scenes which record for each one the most outstanding mem- ories of her college year. The cornerstone of the Henry Pfeiffer Memorial Library was laid on October 10, 1940. This new library was made possible through the generous contributions of Mrs. Henry Pfeiffer and others interested in the school. MISS ELLEN CREEK ETITE, white-haired Miss Ellen Creek has been librarian at MacMurray College since April 6, 1929. She succeeded Miss Eleanor Thompson, who v as the first official librarian. Small as she is, Miss Creek amazes everyone who knows her with her remarkable vitality. Hardly a week has gone by that has not found her at her desk working. Her invaluable assistance has been greatly appreciated by all those who have come in contact with her willingness to cooperate. Impartially, she exerts egual effort toward the advancement of every department of the college. Miss Lucille Crawford, associated with Miss Creek in the ad- ministration of the library, has been with us since the fall of 1929. Like Miss Creek, she is always ready and willing to do every- thing in her power to make the library as useful to the college as possible. She has almost complete charge of the student assistants, and thus there are always girls in the library ready to serve. Together, Miss Creek and Miss Craw- ford have made the MacMurray li- brary a distinct asset, and a part of the college to be proud of. OUK ARIA MISS LUCILLE CRAWFORD MRS. HENRY PFEIFFER This book is dedicated with deepest grati- tude to Mrs. Henry Pfeiffer, who, by her generous and whole-hearted contributions to the college, has made a dream come true. FORE This book has been divided into four main sections, each section depicting one phase of the student ' s life— her surroundings; her companions, among her classmates and her faculty; her outside activities; and her cultural ad- vantages. From among her classmates three have been chosen as best exemplifying the MacMurray ideal, stated in the motto: Knowledge, Faith, and Service. The choice was a difficult one, as all the members of the class of nineteen hundred and forty-one were under consideration, and each mer- ited recognition. However, it is our hope and belief that the three chosen will meet with the approbation of all.

OLD MAIN ON A SUMMER NIGHT- IN MID-SEPTEMBER, MUSIC HALL BEGINS TO SING ALMOST TIME FOR LUNCH AT McCLELLAND HALL McClelland Hall brings the girls together Dr. Clarence P. McClelland has been a vital figure on the campus since his accession to the office of president in 1925. His long stride is a familiar sight to all the girls, and his friendly smile a cherished memory. His unbounded en- thusiasm and energy have overflowed to make the college a living institution with a personality all its own. Tirelessly he has worked to promote the good of MacMurray and her girls, and has the admiration and respect of us all. Twenty I Board of Trustees OFFICERS James E. MacMurray, President Clarence P.

The meetings of the seniors were held around a breakfast table in Ann Rutledge Hall every Thursday morning. The first big activity of the year v as the senior tea of which Mary Below and Frances Webb were co-chairmen. Then came the senior ball, with pretty Vicki Cooper, gueen, reigning graciously over the festivities. It was largely through the ef- forts of Jean Wagoner, chairman, that the dance was a milestone in the class history. Two house dances were held during the year, one in De- cember, planned by Barbara Butler, and the other in February, under the direction of Madge Douglas. Each Sunday, one senior acted as hostess in the Hub, adding substantially to the pleasure of a Sunday gathering in the recreation room. The 41 Club, which has been con- tinued as a class project since the sophomore year, held its annual open- ing in February, with Elizabeth Humphrey and Betty Lou Stahl as co- chairmen. The outstanding achievement of the class was its gift to the college of a clock and chimes for the new Pfeiffer library.

Forty-five The class of 1942 — producers of the all-school directory, sailors of the S. S. Style, hostesses at a tea given for the seniors, and originators of Happy Thursday. The school directory lists the names, addresses, and birthdays of all the girls. The S. S. Style was the ship in the Little Theatre aboard which the spring fashion show, the class project, was given in April. Happy Thursday is a means of bringing the juniors and freshmen closer together. A get-acguainted welcome picnic at the cabin in Sep- tember with the freshman class furnished the spark responsible for the friendship between these sister classes. Soon after this, preceding the Army-Navy hockey game, the classes held a joint pep meeting. Heavy eaters are these juniors if they may be judged by their numerous spreads, breakfasts, and suppers. A prom by candlelight was given February first under the chairmanship of Naomi Runyan, followed the next morning by a breakfast at the Dunlap. A month later the juniors had their first house dance, with its never-to-be-forgotten Mexican theme and the Conga. Serenades — rain or shine — and more picnics and fun with Miss Melville led to the completion of the junior year.

The class meetings were held in the I social room in Main Hall every Thursday morning. The biggest under- f taking was the initiation and counselling of the incoming freshman class. ) Members of the class were chosen at the close of last year to act as counsellors, and each girl chosen was in charge of five freshmen. These girls introduced the incoming class to the standards and regulations of MacMurray. On October 31 the sophomores conducted freshman initi- ation. The class project was a record of popular music from the time of Stephen Foster to the present day. The theme was carried out by means of skits, including the first automobile, an old-fashioned melodrama, and some Stephen Foster songs. Beatrice Giessing was chairman. In Decem- ber the sophomores gave a buffet supper for their sister class, the seniors. In February the class was recognized in a chapel ceremony by Presi- dent McClelland, followed by a formal dinner in McClelland Hall. The sophomore class dance was held March 15 under the direction of co- chairmen Grace Fenne and Barbara Smaus. All in all. Miss Bonansinga and the girls have led a very busy year, and one of achievement.

BAIRD, dean of the freshman girls, is also their class adviser. M E N The class of ' 44, under the sponsorship of Dean Mary E. Baird, has become an active and integral part of MacMurray since its advent in September. Early in the fall, the class officers were elected, and after the newness wore off a little, the girls began a busy year. Their project was Collegiate Fantasies, which not only was a great success, but also revealed a variety of talent. The girls donated money for the board and schooling of a Chinese child for a year, and contributed to the fund for the Austrian refugee student. The class of ' 44 has worked closely with its sister class of ' 42, and several get-togethers were planned by the freshmen. The class meetings were held in the music hall auditorium, under the direction of Miss Baird, and presided over by Nancy Black, the class president. A great deal of the activity was delegated to the four freshmen societies. Upon entering MacMurray, each freshman auto- matically becomes a member of one of these societies for her first year. This social side of the freshman year helps the girls in their adjustment to the unaccustomed college life. Elaine Brand was chairman of the class dance — Claire de Lune — in April, a dance which will long be remembered as the first dance belonging entirely to the class of ' 44.

Activities of Student Government are Numerous The most welcome change instituted by the Student Government Associa- tion in 1940-41 was the addition of smoking rooms in Jane and Ann Rutledge Halls. The students themselves are buying the furnishings for these rooms. Another accom.plishment was the establishment of a forum. Revised regula- tions gave the freshmen and sophomores one, and the juniors two, eleven o ' clock permissions weekly. Two delegates were sent to the National Stu- dent Federation of America convention at New Jersey College for Women during the Christmas vacation. A reorganization of the Student Government Association was approved, which involves the creation of two new officers, an orientation chairman and a president of Main Hall; and a redistribution of duties among existing offices. The organization continued its sponsorship of fun nights, of traditional events of the college year, and of financing a student refugee. Seventy-eight Barbara Katherman, Jean Stambaugh, Jean Barnett, and Glenna Forbes prepare to hold a Forum session. Panel Discussions are Conducted by the Forum Feeling the need for greater opportunity for the students to express their opinions, the Student Government Association has instituted a forum. Jean Stambaugh, the director, chooses a commit- tee which can best understand and cope with the question at hand. These girls look at the problem from all sides, present arguments in student meet- ing, and then have open discussion from the floor. By means of this preliminary survey, the question is more easily presented to the open forum, with the result that real progress is made in the group discussion. This new department of the Student Government has greatly facilitated the coordina- tion of the student body. Rules and regulations formulated from the opinions of the whole group rather than from the attitudes of a few are har- moniously enforced. Seventy-nine Cap and Gown Successors Chosen After the last chapel in May, 1940, the student body adjourned to the pic- turesque steps of old Main, and the four members of Cap and Gown, senior honorary society, walked one by one among the students of the junior class choosing their successors. At this time four girls were presented with the traditional rose and pin, mounted the steps to assume their places as new Cap and Gowners, and received a kiss from the members they replaced. They were chosen by unanimous vote of the retiring members on the basis of their embodiment of Cap and Gown ideals of scholarship, extra- curricular achievements, and college spirit and loyalty. Best exemplifying these ideals were Roberta Butler, president of the Young Women ' s Christian Association; Jane Allison, Student Government Association president; Jeanette Benz, judicial director of the Student Government Association; and Jessie Clark, senior class president. Eighty Alice Osborne Awarded Conlee-Kent Cup Each year at the junior recog- nition chapel service, the Con- lee-Kent Memorial Cup is award- ed to the junior who, during her sophomore year, best exempli- fied the college ideals of knowl- edge, faith, and service. This cup is given by the class of 1932 in memory of two of their mem- bers who died shortly after their graduation. This year the cup was awarded to Alice Osborne, whose record at MacMurray has been truly remarkable. A kind- ergarten major from University City, Missouri, Al , as she is affectionately known to her friends (and they are legion), is noted for her smile and her poise, which, coupled with un- usually great executive ability, have brought her many honors. Alice is a conscientious, willing worker, whose activities in the past three years have included offices as president of her freshman society. Phi Kappa Delta; vice- president of her sophomore and junior classes; house president of Main and Harker Hall in her sophomore year; secretary of the Student Govern- ment Association and house president of Jane Hall in her junior year; in addition she is an active member of Phi Nu society and plays on the var- sity hockey and basketball teams. One of the most versatile girls on the campus, Alice is an excellent student, may be seen at any college dance, is fond of sports of all description, and collects statuettes of horses in her spare moments. Eighty-one Dr. McClelland reconizes the senior class. Chapel Services are Held Weekly Every Tuesday morning at eleven o ' clock, all the MacMurray students and faculty come together for an hour ' s service in Centenary Methodist Church on East State Street. The service is conducted usually by Dr. McClelland, who is tireless in his efforts to secure speakers whose talks will be stimulating to the students. Frequently the speaker is a visiting minister. The hour is be- gun with prayer and hymns and is closed with prayer. The music is furn- ished by Miss Melville at the organ, and the college choir. This short weekly meeting comes as a welcome retreat from the work-a-day college world, and performs a distinct service for the whole of MacMurray. The recogni- tion services of the various classes are also held in the church, at which Dr. McClelland delivers the address. This joint convocation of students and faculty greatly strengthens the already closely allied feeling between the girls and their instructors. Eighty-two Genie pours at the intersociety cotfee. INTIERSOCIIETY COUNCIL The Intersociety Council is made up of the presidents and vice-presidents of the four upper class societies. This council, under the direction of Mrs. Roma N. Hawkins, was formed for the specific and ultimate purpose of bringing the societies closer together and unifying the social activities on the campus. The realization of the extent of the influence exercised by this council does not fully meet the eye until the situation on almost any other campus in the country is contrasted with the situation here. There is a re- markable feeling of friendly competition among the societies that is an incentive, rather than a hindrance, toward greater achievement. One of the biggest duties is the regulation of the fall rushing. The rules in the Brown Book governing rushing are compiled by this council. In addition, the coun- cil sponsors other activities on the campus, among them the intersociety dance, held this year in the social room on April 26. The members of the council are Patty Norbury and Vivian Cooper of Belles Lettres; Jane Hoefer and Mary Roach of Lambda Alpha Mu; Jean Wible and Betty Elliott of Theta Sigma; and Eugenia Ennenga and Jean Wagoner of Phi Nu. Eighty-three THllETA SIGMA SOCIETY The unexpectedness of Puck and the beauty of Titania ' s Tea, from A Midsummer-Night ' s Dream, were Theta Sigma ' s rushing themes with Betty Lindsay Roseberry as captain. The program numbers were nearly all con- tributed by the girls themselves. The redecorating of Theta hall filled a great | deal of the spare time, yet the society undertook a campaign to forward the ; causes of War Relief and Red Cross. Betsey Purnell was in charge of the ; open meeting, which was centered around the theme of Over the Rainbow. A year packed with achievement included such social events as the alumnae coffee, a week end at the cabin, a chili supper and bridge with Belles Lettres, and the spring dinner dance.

The programs of the year were built around the lives of outstanding women, among whom were Harriet Beecher Stowe, Florence Nightingale, and the wives of various presidents. Lambda was the recipient of a beauti- ful oil painting, in memory of a former member. Among the social affairs were the coffee for alumnae and honorary members in Decem_ber, the open meeting in April, and the dinner dance with Belles Lettres. The colors of the society were changed from purple and lavender to green and gold, and the flower, from the Kilarney Rose to the Talisman Rose. The Lambdas seem very happy over something. Eighty-seven The Phi Nus hail the celebrities of February. N U E T ) Phi Nu society started an active year with rushing under the direction of co-chairmen Betsy Brass and Barbara Butler; nursery rhymes were the theme. During the year, Dr. Brundage and Mr. Volney Hampton have been outside speakers. Unigue entertainment was planned introducing a local junior magician, Charles Belatti. A valentine program was arranged by Jane Lyman and June Clark for the open meeting of Phi Nu on February seventh. As a project this year. Phi Nu planned a benefit dance for British War Relief. Various other social functions and projects throughout the year included a hayride, a Christmas party, a candy sale at the Y. W. bazaar, the Alumnae tea, and the traditional dinner dance the night before May Day. The Phi Nus are still discussing the open meeting.

The tri-monthly meetings were centered about cultural topics, including a study of eighteenth century literature and the fine arts of modern times. A project for the year supplied funds to purchase a new filing cabinet to house the society ' s ar- chives. The calendar included many social affairs, notably a bridge tourna- ment with Phi Nu and a chili supper with Theta. Lambda joined them for their annual spring dance. Jean Stambaugh planned a unique open meet- ing around the theme of the signs of the Zodiac. The archives were com- pleted and housed in a new filing cabinet. President Patty Norbury has the floor.

Throughout the year, originality has been en- couraged, especially in debating, under the direction of sponsor Barbara Butler, herself a debater. The society had a scavenger hunt which sent the girls in merry chase for articles of all kinds. Phi Tau has been entertained by Mrs. Davidson and Mr. Hamp- ton. The girls were given first hand information about Hawaii by a Hawaiian member. The entry in the annual play contest was No-Count Boy, under the direction of Betsy Purnell. (Inci- dentally this received second place.) Other activities included a faculty coffee and a meeting at which hair styles were demon- strated by Mrs. Applebee. To climax the very full year, there was a farewell picnic and the formal banquet May 8, held at the Colonial Inn. The officers were as follows: Myrtle Louise Johnson, President; Bette Cossitt, Vice-President; Jeanette Balser, Secretary; and Jane Hancock, Treasurer. MYRTLE JOHNSON snowballs in front of Jane. Phi Tau meets in the Social Room. Ninety-two P HI I KAPPA ID IE IL T A Phi Kappa Delta is proud of the fact that every member has served in some capacity throughout the year. During election week, the freshman class from Illinois College was entertained at a political party, with the Hub as the Polls. An open meeting and fun night carried out the theme of a carnival. Excellent work was displayed in the one-act play, Auf Wiedersehen, directed by Harriet Layne. Margaret McCurdy served as chairman of a formal coffee for the faculty early in the second semester. The spring banguet, held at the Colonial Inn, was planned by Marie Reeves. In May the society sponsored a day ' s trip to New Salem and Springfield, Illinois, to see the Lincoln shrines. During the year, meetings were held in Main and Jane Halls, under the direction of sponsor Helen Webb. The officers were as follows: Margaret Maher, President; Betty Hunt, Vice-President; Jean Livengood, Secretary; Katherine Holbrook, Treasurer; and Donna Shawan, Sergeant-at-Arms. The Phi Kappas plan their trip to Springfield. KAPPA SIGMA T HI ETA ; After formal initiation in the fall and the election of officers, Kappa Sigma Theta plunged into a year whose calendar was crowded, to say the least. The Kappa Sigs are the proud pos- sessors of the first prize in the one-act play contest, held in January. So excellent was their presentation of the fantasy, Will-O ' -The-Wisp, under the competent direction of Alice Finney, that a local organization reguested a private perform- ance. The annual faculty tea was held in February, and the open night later in the spring was a great success. Most of the second semester meetings were devoted to perfecting the A Ca- pella choir, the main project of the society. Originality was stressed throughout the year, and many of the programs were presented by the members themselves. The sponsor, Ada Vir- ginia Smith, was the inspiration for a number of the society ' s activities. The officers are as follows: Barbara Meyers, President; Betty Chapman, Vice-President; Harriet Henderson, Treasurer; and Meg Kumler, Secretary. Kappa Sigma Theta in the lounge of Jane Hall. DELTA T HI ETA NU Dorothy Jane Wilson, business major and sponsor of Delta Theta Nu, conducted the meetings of the society until October, when the officers were elected. The first major event was the one-act play contest in January. Following that, a humorous debate was held concerning the fate of Illinois College. To facilitate their search for beauty, the girls invited Mrs. Applebee to talk to them. Variety was the spice of Delta Theta Nu ' s cal- endar, for the society next entertained — and were entertained by a magician. A week-end at the cabin in February gave them that out-door girl aura. The girls entertained faculty and students with a tea and presented an old fashioned fun night early in March. In April, Mr. Volney Hampton ' s reading of a play con- tributed to the appreciation of drama. The travelling urge struck soon after, and off they went to historic Salem for an informative picnic. The year came to a successful close in May with the formal banguet. The officers were as follows: President, Betty Black; Vice-President, Betty Kiser; Secretary, Adeline Branhan; and Treasurer, Dott Hanselmann. The Delta Theta Nus have a home movie.

This year, the club bought new furnishings for its lounge. Project of the year for these girls was the Bundles for Britain ball, February 22, the pro- ceeds of which were donated to British war re- lief. The spring highlight of the club ' s activities was the annual picnic and informal dance, which brought to a close the happy and event- ful year. The Town Girls Club has a large membership. A Well-Traveled Debate Team The MacMurray College Debate team is composed of Mary Ann Freeland, Barbara Butler, Doris Arnold, Virginia Allen, Grace Fenne, Doris Kleymeyer, Lois Friedl, and Ruth Gilson, and is coached by Mr. Gibson. The intercolleg- iate debate guestion this year was: Resolved: That the nations of the western hemisphere should form a permanent union. The affirmative team, com- posed of Mary Ann Freeland and Barbara Butler, tied for first place in the Illinois State Tournament. During spring vacation, debaters Mary Ann Free- land, Barbara Butler, Doris Kleymeyer, and Virginia Allen went on a 2,500 mile trip throughout the eastern part of the United States. The itinerary of the trip was: Kent State University of Kent, Ohio; Westminster College, New Wilmington, Pennsylvania; Gettysburg College of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania; University of Pittsburgh; University of Cincinnati in Cincinnati, Ohio; De Pauw University, Greencastle, Indiana. A week end in New York City was added as a bonus. The MacMurray debaters debated teams from Principia, Carthage, Monmouth, Evansville, Dennison, Wayne University, and Taylor University during the year. Mr. Gibson and Allen keep the others amused. Mabel Kempf, circulation manager; Emmilene Jewsbury, assistant advertising manager; Clara Mae Strubinger, advertising manager; Lois Mitchell, assistant business manager; and Charlotte McCurdy, business manager. We Count the Pennies The business staff of the Illiwoco brings in the proverbial bacon to foot the many bills. The various sources of revenue are subscrip- tions from students and faculty; advertising from the Jacksonville merchants; income from school organizations; income from an all-school dance held in January. The Illiwoco staff put all of its income into the book, with the excep- tion of the expenses for two delegates to the National Collegiate Press Association in Nov- ember. Charlotte checks up on the sole of ads Ninety-eight Betty Roseberry, editor; Mayme Merillat, assistant editor; Betty Fitzer, art editor; Evelyn Stoben , assistant art editor; June Olney, photograph editor; Alice Osborne, sports editor; Jane Morrisson, society editor. We Appreciate Their Help ' Editor Lindy Roseberry wades through pile of pictures. This Illiwoco of 1941 holds within its cover the work of many, faculty and students, who unselfishly and willingly gave of their time and experience. The assist- ance from the English departm_ent has been invaluable. Mr. Harold Gibson, busy as he is from September until June and then again from June until September, has always been near to offer a helping hand. Mrs. Herr and Miss Gay supervised the art work, of which we are justly proud. Miss Ruth Melville, adviser of the junior class, entered the field of yearbook production as much a novice as the Illiwoco staff, and has worked with us step by step, eager to do everything in her power to- ward making the book a success. Mr. Karl Fitzer, of the Burger-Baird Engraving Company, and Mr. Minor L. Smith of the Williamson Printmg Company, have been very helpful in their understanding and cooperation. To all those who have taken part in the production of this book, we extend sincerest gratitude. Ninety-nine Cookie and Betty get the ropes untangled for a fresh start. The editorial staff of the GREETINGS underwent a change in the middle of the year when Editor Dorothy Cook resigned in favor of Betty Mangold. The first sem- ester, Dorothy Cook was editor, Con- stance Sauter literary editor, and Alice Finney assistant editor. The second sem- ester, Betty Mangold was editor, Dorothy Cook literary editor, and Alice Finney assistctnt editor. Despite this turmoil with- in the ranks, the GREETINGS had a busy year. Three delegates were sent to the A. CP. convent ion in Detroit in November, and three were sent to the state conven- tion in Champaign in March. The paper was rated Ail-American at the national convention, and received three firsts in the state, for pictorial news coverage, original ad, and feature story. One Hundred The financial and advertising problems of the GREETINGS were efficiently handled by the energetic business staff. Delegates were sent to the fall and spring meetings of the Illi- nois College Press Association, and to the National College Press Association convention in Detroit in November. The duties of the busi- ness staff included selling of the advertising for the GREETINGS, distributing of papers each week, and conducting of exchange with other college papers. Social activities of the staff in- cluded the planning of the annual Christmas party for themselves and the editorial staff, and in addition they collaborated with the editorial staff on the year ' s big dance, the Wabash Cave- man Drag, in March.

Business Administration is Their Field The Tironian Club is made up of majors and minors in the fields of business administration. The theme of the monthly meetings was Hobbies for the Bus- iness Woman. The year was opened by a coffee honoring the new members of the department. In December an old-fashioned Christmas party was held in the society halls. The annual banquet in January at the Colonial Inn was another Gay Nineties party. The girls enjoyed a week end at the P.E. cabin in April. For the final social meeting, the club sponsored A Night in China, at which incense, lights, music and refreshments from China played an essential part.

MacMurray ' s Group of Budding Authors Do you pledge your word of honor That you ' ll scribble till you die, And smear ink upon your fingers And write poems to the sky? The miembers of the Scribbler ' s Club take this pledge and manage to live up to it. The entrance examination consists of any type of literary composi- tion which meets the standards the club seeks to uphold. Informal manu- script meetings are held once a month, and each member submits her contribution to the judgment and constructive criticism of the group as a whole. Miss Mahany is the faculty adviser and enthusiastically supports the efforts of the girls to attain perfection in their own individual styles. Every type of potential literateur is included — essayist, novelist, poet, short story writer, and each is striving toward her goal. International Relations Brought to the Campus The International Relations Club of MacMurray College is but a link in the chain of International Relations Clubs throughout the world. This organization is sponsored by the Carnegie Foundation, the aims and purposes of which are to broaden the understanding of its members through the study and dis- cussion of current events. The regular meetings are conducted in an informal manner; the usual procedure is to have the presentation of the topic to be discussed by a guest speaker followed by a round table conversation and debate by the members. I.R.C. also keeps the daily news posted on a bulletin board for the entire student body to see. The various activities of the club are co-ordinated by its faculty sponsor, Mr. Walter B. Hendrickson. One Hundred Four Child Welfare Occupies Y. W. Cabinet Fuller than ever before was the Young Women ' s Christian Association calendar for 1940-41. Early in September the Y. W. C. A. v elcomed every freshman and transfer at the all-school Baby Party. Later in the month a breakfast and recognition service was held. This year the organization resumed the spon- sorship of the Thanksgiving tea dance. After this came the annual Christmas party, the Christmas bazaar, Heart Sister Week, Day of Prayer, and the Easter party for the poor children, in addition to work done in child welfare, Red Cross knitting, and world service. The generous support of the faculty in the form of membership dues has facilitated the establish- ment of a Geneva fund, as a result of which more Mac representatives can be sent to the annual Geneva Conference in June. With the cooperation and gracious help of an advisory board, the year ' s activ- ities were concluded by the annual May Day break- fast. Roberta Butler and her Family Tree. One Hundred Five The Home Economics Club, composed of ninety girls majoring in home economics, has had a very instructive year. In October, a representative from the Coca Cola Company lectured to friends and members of the club on flower arrangements, with colored slides. In November, Miss Laura Lor- enson of the Lennox China Company, lectured on The Magic of the Potter ' s Wheel, and displayed an exhibit of Lennox China. Four senior members of the club and two juniors represented the organization at the Illinois Home Economics meeting in Springfield in October. One Hundred Six A.C.E. is in Theta Hall on. every third Monday night. They Teach and Study Children The Kindergarten Club is a branch of the Association for Childhood Education. New members were initiated at a lunch box party held at the MacMurray Kindergarten. Members of the cabinet other than the officers are: Florence Oltman, social chairman; Vir- ginia Osborne, publicity director; and Betty Hamilton, operetta chairman, who heads the plans for the directing, the making of the costumes, and the staging of the operetta the children give for their parents. Mary Frances Crump was chairman of the annual Christ- mas bazaar held with the Young Women ' s Christian Association. The kindergartners made many of the articles sold, and spon- sored exhibits from Berea College and Mo- honk Lodge. The monthly meetings were varied, including a Demonstration of the Deaf, by Mrs. Corrington and some of her pupils. Dr. Pankhurst ' s talk on The Place of Religion in Kindergarten, and Dean Dy- singer ' s mock interview with a principal. The year ' s events closed with a breakfast for the seniors.

Such a note in twenty post office boxes causes bounding hearts and hasty plans, for a week end at the cabin is an end in itself to this busy group of physical education majors. They do, of course, urge everyone who wishes to enjoy the many recreational advan- ' tages offered by this, their present project on Lake Mauvaisterre. A round- the-campfire initiation, a student talk on youth hostel trips, an extensive handicraft exhibit and lecture, various speakers, a movie, and landscaping at the cabin this year have occupied the wearers of the brown and tan, who aspire to a mutual strength of body and mind among themselves and their professional contemporaries. One Hundred Eight Chicago is well represented at MacMurray Chicago Girls Get Together Energetic in the promotion of a get-better-acquainted spirit, the MacMurray Chicago Club was organized during the Christmas vacation to include those girls living near, as well as in, Chicago. At short monthly meetings follov ing table parties in the dining hall, the members of the club plan for activities during the vacations, with Chicago as a center for vacation affairs. A tea in the Wedgewood Room at Marshall Field ' s was held at Christmas. The girls enjoyed a luncheon at the Radio Club followed by a special trip through the N.B.C. studios during spring vacation. Plans are now being formulated for monthly get-togethers during the summer, which will include a beach party end a dance. At these meetings the new girls will be welcomed by the members and familiarized with the College. Betty Mangold is President; Marguerite Sethness, Secretary-Treasurer. One Hundred Nine The delegati on from St. Louis. , We Come From St. Louis The St. Louis Club was formed in February of this year for the purpose of establishing a closer comradeship among the St. Louis girls. It is also the de- sire of the club to acguaint girls in St. Louis with MacMurray, to keep in con- tact with the St. Louis alumnae, and to make future students feel at home. Due to its newness, the activities of the club have been few. The largest events of the year were a style show and a luncheon. The style show was a drive to make the organization known on the campus, and to fill a much depleted treasury. The luncheon was given at the Missouri Athletic Associa- tion during spring vacation for prospective students. The social side of the St. Louis Club should be increased this summer by a number of roller skat- ing parties, luncheons, and dances. The officers are: President, Jean Wago- ner; Vice-President, Peggy Coffman; Secretary, Jane Knowlton; and Treas- urer, Adeline Branham. One Hundred Ten The Students of German Life and Literature Under the direction of Dr. Gamper, the German Club is composed of stu- dents of German. Any girl taking German may belong, but the membership is optional. Meetings are held once a month, at which members learn Ger- man folk songs and many things about the customs and traditions of the old country. The main function of the year is the Christmas play and party. This party is one of the most enjoyable events on the campus. This year is the first time that the club has been officially organized with officers. The president is Janice Bigelow, and Gabrielle Eisner, a student from Berlin, is secretary. Johanna Reischer, a student from Vienna, is musical director, and Jeanette Benz is accompanist. Through this club, all the beauty and music of Germany as it was is preserved in the minds of the students of German, and this inter- pretation of the country intensifies the appreciation of the study of the lan- guage. The German Club holds its monlhly meetings in Theta Hall. One Hundred Eleven One Hundred Twelve Left to right: Madge Douglas, Ann Spink, Margaret Hunt, Jean Stambaugh, Helen Webb, Jessie Clark, Vivian Vanderpool, Betty Roseberry. W. C. T. U. The mystery of the campus is the organization known as the W.C.T.U. No one outside this group knows just exactly when, why, where, how, and what the club is. Each year, during the day of March 17, these sisters smell strongly and undeniably of onions. Your guess is as good as mine! The new mem- bers this year were Madge Douglas, Vivian Vanderpool, Margaret Hunt, Barbara Butler, Margaret Baker, and Betty L. Roseberry. Campus Celebrities Mac and Mac, Inc WE DID TRY! ! ! We Three. One Hundred Fifteen The Hub is our recreational center. The A. A. Board keeps MacMurray physical education-conscious. Active Year for A. A. Board CO The Athletic Association board, composed of officers, sports managers, and class representatives, directs the campus athletic activities. Placing the emphasis on recre- ation and fun, they supervise inter-class and recreational sports. Awards, Army-Navy games, intercollegiate play days. Dad ' s Day, and May Day have been important items on the A. A. Calendar. The annual sports day this year was enjoyed by five visiting college teams who participated in basketball and swimming. Tournaments in badminton and bowling were added to the activities in athletics. Participation at the state convention, softball sports days, and the annual banguet climaxed an enthusiastic and successful year for the board, and drew to a close the varied activities of the Association. One Hundred Eighteen Varsity Players Betty Kriegshauser, Mabel Holle, Irene LaBahn, Betty Hartman, Janet Wessel, Janet Blake, Barb Blake, Alice Osborne. Three Classes Tie for Championship mores, the Freshmen, and in number of points scored the persistent Seniors equalled one of the championship teams. Once again the Army, composed of Juniors and Freshmen, clashed in its annual basketball battle with the Navy, which was made up of Seni ors and Sophomores, and once again the brown-clad Army was successful in rout- ing the grey. From these two teams the varsity was chosen. MacMurray was hostess to five college teams at a Sports Day in which the teams participated in basketball and swimming. The schools which were represented were Millikin, Carthage, University of Illinois, Normal, and Ma- comb. The basketball varsity played its last game when it represented Mac at Carthage College Sports Day, and returned with the troph- ies for the championship of the bas- ketball tournament and for the best skit presented. Irene LaBahn capably managed the entire season.

Badminton, shuffle-board, ping-pong, deck tennis, and darts were only a few of the sports which helped to make these nights popular. Once again ice-skating was one of the favorite sports during the wintry months, and many Mac girls spent hours of fun skating on Lake Mauvais- terre, and then wearily trudged up the banks to the P.E. Cabin. Here the fun began anew as they roasted wieners and marshmallows while singing as they sat in front of the fire. With the coming of warmer days, tennis racguets, bicycles, bows and ar- rows, and roller skates were taken out and appeared daily on campus, and the Nichols Park golf course was freguented by MacMurrayites. For One Hundred Twenty-four Take the Spotlight those who Uked horse-back riding, breakfast and moonhght rides were spe- cial pleasures. Both fall and spring tennis tournaments were run off, as well as a singles and a doubles ping-pong tournament. The Navy, composed of Seniors and Sophomores, suffered a defeat, as the Army, composed of Juniors and Freshmen, won the swimming meet which brought to a close the annual swimming season. However, frequent plunges keep the girls in top form during the entire year. The fact that this year was one of Mac ' s most successful in regard to recre- ational sports was due largely to the efficiency of its sport ' s manager, Jan Wessel. One Hundred Twenty-five TIHIE SENIOR BALL The senior ball — adding a bright touch to the college career of the class of 1941 — was held November 16. Jean Wagoner was chairman, and Vicki Cooper was ball queen. The social room for four hours was lifted above MacMurray campus to some spot in the clouds, reserved since 1937. TIHIIE JUNIOR PROM Naomi Runyan was chairman of the junior prom, held in the social room February 1 . Margaret Baker was debutante and Barbara Bartlett was the sub- debutante. The room was lit by candelabra along the walls and ferns banked the orchestra stand. It was a dance that will be long remembered.

Such a subject offered a wide field from which to choose adequate rep- resentatives of the various arts, and the choice was excellent. Miss Dorothy Sands represented the theatre, the Graff Ballet the dance, T. Austin-Ball and Mme. Hoffman-Behrendt repre- sented music, and Robert Philip the art of painting. Dorothy Sands has a charm all her own. A small woman, she is every inch a queen. Completely individual in her line when she first began giving inter- pretations of stage productions as a Art for one-woman show, she now has many followers. During the Institute, Miss Sands gave a resume of the English theatre from the period of Charles II, when the French influence was prev- alent, up to the modern time. Through- out the program, she held her audience enthralled with her varied repertoire. Robert Philip, one of America ' s top- ranking artists, paid a visit but a short one. In forty-five minutes, he gave his audience an indelible picture of one ROBERT PHILIP One Hundred Thirty Art ' s Sake artist ' s attitude toward the world at large. Grace and Kurt Graff left a deep im- pression upon the hearts and minds of all who witnessed the magnificent per- formance of the Graff Ballet. Beauty of movement personified, these artists conferred a laurel wreath upon the art of dancing by their interpretations. T. Austin-Ball, of the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, was the recip- ient of a degree of Doctor of Music THOMAS AUSTIN-BALL from MacMurray College during the Institute. He lectured on voice prob- lems, and aided many of the girls in their efforts toward improvement. Mme. Lydia Hoffman-Behrendt, a dis- tinct artist on the piano, presented a recital as unusual as it was beautiful. She came several days early and gave lessons to some of the girls on the cam- pus. Mme. Hoffman-Behrendt, Miss Waldman, Miss McGehee, and Mr. Beggs dedicated four new pianos with a concert. An invitational orchestra and the madrigal chorus closed the Institute with an admirable show of ability. One Hundred Thirfy-one Concert and The series of concerts and lec- tures on the calendar this year was interesting indeed. The lec- turers were Donald Grant, Leland Stowe, and Henry C. Wolfe. The Illinois Symphony Orchestra, John Seagle, and Erica Morini present- ed concerts. Donald Grant, an international traveler and lecturer, spoke on the subject: Britain; Homeland and Empire Waging War. Mr. Grant is a native Scotsman, and is a graduate of the University of Edin- burg. Following the first World War, he was prominent among the organizers of the student re- lief which later became the Inter- national Student Service. Leland Stowe, ace war corres- pondent of The Chicago Daily News, lectured on the subject: Hitler Over Europe . Mr. Stowe, prematurely white-haired, present- ed a striking picture on the plat- form. He is a fiery speaker, and one that puts his all into every word. After thirteen years as head of The New York Herald Tribune office in Paris, he was appointed to the staff of the foreign service of The Chicago Daily News. From that time on, his triumphs have become the common property of all newspaper readers. HENRY C. V OLFE TOHN SEAGLE ERICA MORINI Lecture Series Henry IPfeifFer Library Mac Murray College Jacksonville, Illinois Henry C. Wolfe, also an authority on world af- fairs and a well-known author and lecturer, talked on the subject: What Is Happening In World Affairs. He served in World War I, on the French front, and later in a volunteer unit on the Italian front which included Ernest Hem- ingway, John Dos Passes, and Julian Green. In the post-war era, he saw service in most of the countries of Europe, for which service he has received decorations from France, Greece, Ru- mania, Yugoslavia, Poland, and Czechoslovakia. The eighty-five piece Illinois Symphony Orches- tra, under the direction of Conductor Albert Gold- berg, presented a truly beautiful concert. Tchai- kowsky ' s Fourth Symphony was the major v rork on the program. Herman Clebanoff, brilliant vio- linist and concert-master of the orchestra, played a prominent role. John Seagle, well-known and popular young American baritone, presented a concert in Janu- ary. Mr. Seagle completely won his audience with his courtesy, his poise, and his gracious per- sonality, to say nothing of his splendid voice. His songs were well-chosen, and his program easily understood and thoroughly enjoyed. Erica Morini, world-famous violinist, presented a distinctive concert in February. Miss Morini is a Viennese by birth, and finished the master course at the Vienna Conservatory at the age of eight, making her first public appearance that same year. Since then, she has gathered more and more admirers until now she is re- garded as one of the few really great violinists of all time. LELAND STOWE One Hundred Thirty-three The Wearers of the Leotard Miss Mahany reads up on the latest trends in modern dancing. The Modern Dance Club, under the direction of Miss Helen Mahany, is made up of girls who are interested in turthering their exploration of the technique and composition of the modern dance. Any girl who has such an interest, and has had previous experience at MacMurray or elsewhere, and who can pass the entrance examination, may become a member of the club. There is no limit put upon the membership. The members this year are Dorothy Jane Wilson, Mary Helen Bourdette, Janet Morse, and Maxine Morris. The club, augmented by Adeline Branham, Vivian Vanderpool, Jane Shurig, Nancy Bell, Julia Decker, and Margaret Kinsman, presented a program on May Day. One Hundred Thirty-four Sketching away the hours. MacMurray Paints The MacMurray art department, under the direction of Miss Ruth Gay and Mrs. Edna Herr, is an institution of which the college is justly proud. Here we have a scene from a sketch class, with Maryanna Kronborg as the model. The girls learn to use the mediums of water color, tempera, charcoal, pastels, and oil. In Novem- ber, the upperclass art majors made a trip to Hannibal, Missouri, where they enjoyed a day of sketching on the Mississippi River. Miss Gay and Mrs. Herr make plans for the art exhibit.

College Choir Tours Neighboring Cities President MADGE DOUGLAS Librarian RITA PALIN Secretary-Treasurer D. J. HUGHES Miss Bonansinga is an inspiration to all the girls. The college choir is one of the most important or- ganizations on the campus in furnishing entertain- ment and services to the students. It is composed of twenty upper class girls, all of whom have definite singing ability. The group is under the leadership of Miss Anna Bonansinga, known affectionately to the girls as Miss Ann . The choir is a busy group, for not only do these twenty girls, with their accom- panist Beatrice Giessing, furnish music for the weekly chapel in the Centenary Church, but also they present programs for various town groups. This year they went on a three-day tour to Decatur, East St. Louis, and neighboring towns, to give concerts. In addition they gave a concert of their own in the spring, and sponsored a dance. In conjunction with the madrigal chorus, they sang for the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter vespers. One Hundred Thirty-eight Mr. Joseph C. Cleeland, director of the music department, spends a great deal of his time, precious as it is, with the Madrigal Club. Madrigal The Madrigal Club, under the direction of Joseph C. Cleeland, is composed ot a large number of MacMurray girls who are interested in choral singing. The librarians are in charge of the literature, selected for the group from the works of such composers as Bach, Beethoven, Hoist, Loeffler, and so forth. The club makes several appearances a year, including the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter vespers. This year it took part in one of the Fine Arts Institute programs in the spring. The officers of the Madrigal Club are as follows: June Antle, President; Marjorie Merrill, Vice-President; Adeline Branham, Secretary-Treasurer; Phyllis Young, Librarian; and Mildred Young and Betty Spikes, Co-Librarians. The Madrigal is the largest musical group on. the Campus. One Hundred Thirty-nine The Band Goes to Peoria for Kiwanis Convention The MacMurray College Band, under the direction of David Strickler, was organized three years ago to provide an opportunity for those students who played band instruments in high school to continue in college. In this capa- city it has served to acquaint its members and listeners with a more exten- sive field of musical literature, both symphonic and otherwise. Since its organization, it has become a distinct asset, and a group of which the college may well be proud. In addition to playing two complete concerts of its own, the Band has participated in student chapels, pep meetings, and the Dad ' s Day program. It was also sponsored by the Jacksonville Kiwanis Club in several appearances at the Kiwanis Club District Convention at Peoria in October. The officers of the Band are as follows: President and Student Conductor, Betty Lou Stahl; Vice-President, Ruth Carson; Secre- tary, Lois Coomber; Treasurer, Eleanor Grove; Librarians, Phoebe Wilkins and Lois Armstrong; and Social Chairman, Frances Larson.
