MacMurray College - Tartan / Illiwoco Yearbook (Jacksonville, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 192 of the 1984 volume:

Fall is the most beautiful of seasons on the MacMurray campus. Late September brought a welcome respite from the often times unbearable heat that plagued the nation for most of the summer and early fall. The soccer, volleyball, and tennis sea- sons were well into their schedules, and the students fell into a pleasant routine that lasted until the end of the semester. Shorter and blessedly cooler days marked fall on campus as the leaves on the trees changed from summer green to a kaleido- scope of beautiful reds, oranges, yellows, and browns. Jackets, sweatshirts, and jeans replaced shorts and tee-shirts, and more and more students retreated to dorms and other buildings to talk and to study in order to escape falling tempera- tures. Leo Andrade, Kay Wilson, Paul Schelich, and Sergio Flores enjoyed a beautfiul fall day, top right. Henry Pfelffer Library shown amidst the changing colors of fall, bottom right.

Norris Hospital On September 9, 1983, MacMurray Col- lege became the new owner of Norris Hos- pital. Norris Hospital, which was first called Our Savior ' s Hospital, was founded by a group of Jacksonville doctors in 1895. The sisters of the Holy Cross were called upon to manage the institution. In 1898 the Sisters added a new wing on the west side. The Sisters further improved the in- stitution by adding a larger building in the 1920 ' s. The original building and the first addition were demolished and a new sec- tion, known as the Norris Wing, was added in 1954. The Norris Wing was named after Frank A. Norris, a well-known surgeon. MacMurray purchased Norris Hospital in 1983 because of the continued growth of the nursing program. The music and art departments have been relocated to the Norris Building because of the poor condi- tion of the Fine Arts building. The Norris building also offers more office space than the Fine Arts building, and it will be able to house more activities and programs that the other structure could not hold. MacMurray In Fall 3 New Beginnings At MacMurray A stream of wide-eyed freshmen, the lar- gest freshman class to enter MacMurray College, arrived on campus on an ex- tremely hot August 24th. Eager S.O.S. leaders helped the new students move in, and a new year began. The following days were filled with a variety of activities — from explanations of Breadth Require- ments to the carrying out of traditions, and from buying books to reading and dis- cussing them. Sympathetic upperclass- men directed freshmen to various places on campus, and passed along tips on how to survive the first year. Returning students followed a few days later, settling into their dorms and into the college routine under the still hot August sun. There were bursts of excitement all over campus on these days as friends greeted each other after a summer apart. Moving in and getting settled, though, were fairly routine, and the veterans of college life could be seen walking around campus with an air of resigned acceptance as another year began. S.O.S. leaders Judy Tedrick, Andrea Zell- man, Alicia Colbert, Mary Schieler, and Cheryl Kimble, paused before beginning a new activity, opposite top.

New Beginnings 5 Puttin ' On The Ritz Homecoming week was full of a vari- ety of activities. Open Stage, a 50 ' s dance, and the Queen ' s Dinner were among the many events planned for the week. There was excitement in the air as the big day approached. A beautiful Saturday morning saw the campus come to life as alumni, pro- fessors, and students walked among the various booths, sampling the ware, and buying various objects. It was truly a day to be enjoyed, and enjoy they did. The day, warm and sunny, was high- lighted by an exciting soccer game. The Clansmen delighted the large crowd with a 5-0 victory over Earlham. A cool and balmy evening was the perfect setting for the Homecoming dance. Puttin ' on the Ritz was the theme, and the music was provided by Starbndge. Homecoming week was brought to a close by the Holy Fools as they per- formed the Sunday morning chapel service to the delight of all who attend- ed. 6 Homecoming The Royal Court The Homecoming court watched the soc- cer game along with a large crowd of Mac fans, opposite top.

Glimpses 13 Just Walk Beside Me And Be My Friend. Don ' t walk in front of me — I may not follow. Don ' t walk behind me — I may not lead. Just walk beside me, and be my friend. Camus They are around when needed, in bad times as well as good. They bring laugh- ter and cheer to gloomy days, and can make even the saddest face smile. They are friends. Friends have the unique ability to bring out the best in each other. When they get to- gether, almost anything can, and often does, hap- pen. Whether they are going out for pizza, dressing up for Halloween, going to a game or to the show, or just talk- ing in a room, they share a part of each other that will never be forgotten.

Friends 15 --•lit unday, Jul 5?(5 ' , 1969 fifteen short years ago, Neil Ar set foot on the moon ' s surface. It was, indeed, a giant step for mankind. A man had traveled to the moon and back, and the potential not only for space travel, but for any endeavor seemed limitless. In February of 1984, a space shuttle was launched and landed at the same site — another first. Space technology will soon make it possible for an astronaut to leave the shuttle and retrieve broken satellites that need to be repaired. The moonwalk seems to be the base for future endeavors in al fields of study and experimentation, a spark that has ignited the rapidly fm f growing fame of progress. Virtually • every area of science, medicine, politics, and every as ct of human life itself, has been affected by progress. And whether it is good or bad, C-. Jmj : progress is here to - . stay, and it will show its face every place we go. _ Progress has . shown i|s best — side here at MacMurray. - MacMurray College has made great strides toward the advancementlof the college in anti cipation of what the future will bring. A new curriculum was de- ligned, and this year ' s fresh- men were the first students to use the Breadth Compbments, instead of the L.E.P. ' s used by the other classes. The old Fine Arts ' V ' f H t Building was closed, and the music and art departments joined the nursing department in the more modern and newly acquired Norris Building. Even the Theatre was w closed and productions moved to the newer Jackson ville Theatre Guild. These changes, and more, are moving MacMurray into the future, and the poPtential for even greater expansion in all spheres of college life seems as limitless as the possiblities for space travel after the moonwalk. The Tartan staff would like to dedicate this yearbook to the progress that has- been made, and will continue to be made, and to the future students of MacMurray College. I A Traditional Welcoi The Green Ribbon ceremony is a very spe- cial tradition at MacMurray. The tying of the green ribbon on freshmen women was started by the sophomore class in 1928. At that time, the freshmen women had to wear the ribbons from the beginning of the school year until Thanksgiving. In a defiant gesture, a band of freshmen women gath- ered together one night and burned their ribbons. The Green Ribbon ceremony has evolved over the years and today it is MacMurray ' s way of welcoming the incoming freshmen women. The wearing of the ribbons lasts for 5 days, and the burning of the ribbons, no longer a gesture of defiance, symbol- izes the initiation of the freshmen women into MacMurray College. All of the women who participated in this year ' s ceremony came away with a special feeling of warmth and welcoming. The 1983 Little Sisters sang the Mac- Murray Alma Mater, top. Annie Merner Chapel was the site of the Green Ribbon ceremony, middle. Sue Lamar tied a green ribbon around the neck of her little sister, thus connecting her to all Mac Women, past, present and future, bottom left.

On Sunday, November 6 at 1:00 pm. in Annie Merner Chapel, twenty-one junior nursing majors were capped in a tradition- al ceremony that is symbolic of the stu- dents ' entry into the nursing program. These students have completed the pre- liminary phase of their four year pro- grams, and for the next two years they will participate in clinical study at various loca- tions around Jacksonville and Springfield. The speaker at this year ' s capping was Judy Otto, Coordinator of Nursing Educa- tion, Department of Registration and Edu- cation. Following the speakers address was the capping of the juniors, and then the lighting of the lamps. In April the nursing program was granted full accredidation by the National League for Nursing. This accredidation meant that the MacMurray nursing program met na- tional criteria of excellence over and above state standards. J Nurses Capping 19 A Turn Of The Century Party Jane Third hosted its annual lawn party this fall. The hosts and guests, dressed in turn of the century costumes, danced and played games. Those who donned the at- tire and manners divided their time among waltzes and games of badmitton, croquet, bocci ball, and checkers. President and Mrs. Stephens made their appearance in costume. Refreshments were served, and everyone enjoyed an old-fashioned after- noon. Fran McClain and Karen Fitzgerald struck dramatic poses as they enjoyed the lawn party, top left.

The theme of the service was I AM A PROMISE. The Fools per- formed skits such as Nora ' s Story, a take-off on Noah and the Ark, and signed the song For Those Tears I Died. The audience joined the group in the singing of I am a Promise. The service ended with the dotting of the congregation with a dot of clown-white on their foreheads. The service was, indeed, enchanting. Following the service, there was a reunion of current and former Holy Fools mem- bers in McClelland Dining Hall. It was a peaceful end to a beautiful weekend of activities. Teres Brawner, Steve Brune, and Melodie Sparks helped out Head Fool, Nate Bas- sett, in a skit, top. Cam Pierce was dotted by Glenn Thom- as, left. Holy Fools Homecoming Service 21 From October 28 to 30, MacMurray Col- lege was honored with a fine presentation of Frederico Garcia Lorca ' s The House of Bernarda Alba. The play took place early in the twentieth century in a Spain that was immersed in a tangling web of cus- tom, tradition, and religious primitivism. Bernarda Alba, chose to follow these out- moded traditions and forced her five daughters to do the same. After the death of her husband, Bernarda Alba and her daughters, following the traditions, were to mourn for five years. Adela, the youn- gest daughter, rebelled against the pres- sures of customs and subsequently killed herself.

Gathering together one evening in the winter, the seniors shared many . . . revised . . . songs with all the students on campus within one-half mile of their voices. Alternately singing and laughing, the seniors went from dorm to dorm, across campus, and impressed the students with their beauti- ful voices. The serenaders could be heard approaching each dorm way before they arrived, giving eager observers ample time to find a good seat in their respective lounges before the seniors trouped in. Senior Serenade 25 Madrigal Dinners The Madrigal Dinners, held in December, was the main event of the year for the MacMurray Madrigal Singers. Dressed in their Medieval costumes, the singers per- formed for full houses each night, at McClelland Dining Hall. The dining hall it- self was transformed from its every-day appearance to add to the atmosphere. Dr. Jay Peterson played the harpsicord during the dinner. In a performance not expected by the au- dience or even befitting of Madrigal Sing- ers, the singers produced kazoos and played a song for the crowd. During the year the Madrigals performed in various cities in the area. They also made their T.V. debut in a tape perfor- mance that was shown on Springfield ' s Channel 20 late in the fall.

The winning entry in the comedy category was the quartet of Rafael Barron, Leo An- drade, Adrian Andrede, and R.C. Casten- eda. They donned aerobic costumes, complete with leg warmers, made up their faces, and danced to Flashdance to the delight of the audience. First place in the serious category was the group Friends.

Pictures were taken by the yearbook pho- tographer. The dance was co-sponsored by C.A.B. and the House Councils.

Members of the society have achieved a 3.5 grade point average during their first semester or their first year. The honor society was founded in 1924 as a women ' s honor society at the University of Illinois, and became a national organiza- tion as chapters were established at Pur- due and DePauw. In 1975 men were ad- mitted to the society. Today there are 196 chapters of Alpha Lambda Delta through- out the nation, with more than 290,000 inducted members. Every year the MacMurray chapter holds a plant sale in the fall to raise money for graduate scholarships, stressing the con- cern for the continuing education of its members. The induction ceremony for this years ' freshmen was April 29 in the lounge of Rutledge Hall. In the traditional atmo- sphere, wtih the women wearing white dresses and the men light colored suits, and all holding candles, the officers of the sophomore class welcomed the new members. Following the ceremony, the freshmen elected officers for the following year. 40 Alpha Lambda Delta Mortar Board Front Row: Charles McKenzie. Robin Biermann. Tom Atkins. Sec- mann, Lisa Demaree.

Mortar Board is a senior honor society which strives to promote service, leader- ship, and scholarship among its members. The MacMurray chapter of Mortar Board was very active both on and off campus. Through several fund-raising activities, the members of Mortar Board purchased toys for the Toys-for-Tots Program. Other ac- tivities, including a spring food auction, raised money for Mortar Board Scholar- ships.

There were two main reasons for the formation of M.O.M. First, there was not an all-male organization on campus. Second, the or- ganization was to, and shall, foster and encourage scholarship and leadership in the MacMurray College Community. Mor- ever, M.O.M. will promote service and pro- vide an arena for fellowship and recogni- tion to further enhance the growth of the individual as well as the organization as a whole.

The purpose of the organization is to increase feelings of in- terest, honor, and good fellowship both among its members and within the college community, through the social activities and services it performs. One of the biggest activities of Phi Nu is its annual blood drive in the fall. Members also serve as ushers for the college ' s the- atrical productions and for the Jackson- ville-MacMurray Music Association con- certs. Phi Nu ' s motto is well fitting of its many services to the school and community: Gathering the light that we may scatter it.

Jesus is portrayed in the movie as a clown in a circus who goes around helping his fellow performers. At first they follow him hap- pily, but later come to resent his model of self-sacrifice and love, and they kill him. The Reverend Bill Peckham saw this mov- ie and conceived the idea of a Christian ministry in clown costume. He started the first Holy Fools group at the First United Methodist Church in Springfield, Illinois. The MacMurray College Holy Fools visit local nursing homes and have written many movative worship services. They perform all over Illinois, and, upon occa- sion, the adjoining states. They hope to spread the love of Christ to all in a new way. Row 1: Sherri Schumann, Kelley Fehren- bach, Brenda Farmer. Row 2: Nate Bas- sett, Glenn Thomas, top. Row 1: Melissa Bassett.

Sophomore center Tom Wojcik was named the Most Improved Player for the 1983-84 season. In spite of a midseason ankle injury, Wojcik led the team with 168 rebounds. Both Ferd Lamar and Bill Sampen were named to the I. P.C.C. all-conference first team. John Hardcastle attempted to evade a Knox College opponent, above right. Ferd Lamar took a jump shot, far right.

Men ' s Basketball 97 Lack Of Experience Plagues Ladies The 1983-84 Lady Highlanders had many close games during the season, but wound up with a disappointing 0-23 record. The team was under the direction of first-year coach Sue Bethanis, and listed only four girls on the roster with any experience playing college basketball. In addition, Freshman Lisa James one of the team ' s leading scorers, was injured and did not finish the season. Bethanis was well-pleased with her squad in spite of the record. The players showed much improvement throughout the sea- son. Junior Tammy Beeler, captain of the team, began the season averaging 20 points per game, and continued scoring well; 31 points against Maryville College was her game high. Beeler received the Most Valuable Player gward, while Sopho- more Chris Honey was named the Most Improved Player. Freshman Jennifer McElwee was named Rookie of the Year for the 1983-84 season. Lisa James searched for a way out of a bind, above right.

The team was under the direction of first year coach Mitchell Beck, who was assisted by Matt Lambert, Only two wrestlers competed in the Whea- ton tournament in early February, illness and injury accounted for the small num- ber. In spite of that, the Mac wrestlers placed tenth out of 19 teams present. Senior Ron Smith placed third in his weight class, and Senior Jonnie Ray placed fourth in his weight class. Both Ron Smith and Jonnie Ray were named the team ' s Most Valuable Player during the May 8 Annual Athletic Banquet. Good seasonal records were also record- ed by Alfred Adams, Steve Jibben, B.J. Murray. Steve Kelley, Mike Dolan, and Keith Morales. B.J. Murray secured a grip on his oppo- nent, top right. Alfred Adams waited for the referee ' s sig- nal, right. 100 Wrestlers Linksters Rebuild The MacMurray College Golf squad was in a rebuilding stage this year, according to Coach Mike Biloz. Tom Winkowski and Brad Boucher were the only two returnees from the 1983 12-6 team. The squad was also coming off of an impressive three consecutive Prairie College conference Championships, a feat Coach Biloz was not hoping to achieve this year, owing to the inexperience of his young team. The team did well in action this year, as the new players got a feel for their home course, the Links, and competed with some well-known college golf teams. Ju- nior Scott Sennott took the Most Valuable Player honors in golf, while Freshmen Dave Ball and Scott Fearrin scored well during the season. The 1984 golf team, above right.

The Mac women played consistent ball all season long. A highlight of the year was its win over Illi- nois College in the first game of a double header. Coach Linda Wilson pointed out that the strength and versatility of her infield, and accuracy and hustle of the outfield, were the keys in many of the team ' s victo- ries. Strong hitting by rook- ies Jennifer McElwee, Cathy Ervin, and Karen Lacey, coupled with the power hit- ting of Barb Gaitens, Stacy Dawson, and Lisa McCor- mick also helped the team. Lisa McCormick was named the Most Valuable Player of the team. Two other players also received honors at the spring Awards banquet. Jen- nifer McElwee was named Rookie of the Year, and Barb Gaitens was given the Vic Sheppard Award for over-all performance and athletic ability. The 1984 Mac Softball team, top right.

Softball 105 Quality Lineup For Men The 1984 Highlander men s baseball team listed only thirteen players on its roster, but. according to Coach Bill Gross, they were quality players. He had high hopes of improving the team ' s 1983 record of 12-9, and talked of a possible Prairie College Conference Championship this year. The P.C.C. championship dream was not realized; however, the Highlander men were impressive in their play. Bill Sampen led the pitching rotation, and Steve Jibben and Jeff Murrow also saw plenty of action on the mound, as did Brad Willard. This year ' s senior co-captains were Marty Evak and Dave Carroll Marty Evak was presented with the Bill Wall award during the Athletic Banquet held May 8. The award honors a senior letterman who has demonstrated out- standing leadership qualities. The 1984 Highlander baseball team, above right. Front Row: Dave Carroll. Brad Willard. Bill Sampen.

Coming off of an 0-9 record during 1983, the Highlanders could only improve. This year the men played well, getting good performances from Tom Wojcik, Steve Staley, and Tom Snowden. Freshman Tom Snowden was named Most Valuable Player. Rob Shaffer was named Most Improved Player. The 1984 Men ' s Tennis Team, above: Front Row: Scott Delinger. J.T. Marucco. Back Row: Tom Wojcik.

Ste- phens announced that MacMurray College would be- gin a NCAA Division III football program beginning in the fall of 1984. In a February 22 article in the Dally Other, President Stephens cited two main reasons for the formation of a football team. First of all, the start- up of a football team will have a significant impact on our ability to recruit a greater number of male stu- dents. And second, this program will serve, just as ther sports have, to instill a deep measure of pride Mid spirit in MacMurray College, said the President. ' nhb ' tn Cooper was named Ifijh- lander tearh.

Will we get — what we ' re hoping for? When we look ahead we see the open doors, That ' s what we ' re hoping for — yes we are. Once we were standing still in time. Looking for help till our big sisters arrived. How we trusted you — with you by our side. You ' re the friends of ours in whom we confide. Now we know where We ' re going to And we like the things that we are learning here As we grow year by year — here at Mac.

Stephens 133rd Commencement Graduation day dawned bright and clear, a welcome change from the dark and rainy weather that had threatened to put a damper on the graduation ceremony. Dressed in their caps and gowns, the seniors paraded to the Chapel from Henry Pfeiffer Library. They were preceeded by their profes- sors, who were also dressed in their caps and robes. Proud parents, rela- tives, and friends of the graduates filled the Chapel to capacity. Voices of the Choir members filled the Chapel with song. Dr. Raymond T. Bonner spoke at the commencement exercise this year. Soon after, the graduates recieved their diplomas, and then waited anx- iously for the end of the ceremony to show their treasures. After four years of college work, these students were ready to move on. After the ceremony, the Chapel lawn was filled with the gala colors and the laughter and tears of graduates and professors, relatives and friends, con- gratulating each other on their suc- cesses, and saying farewell to old friends. It was indeed a day to remem- ber. Members of Phi Nu, carrying flags, led the gradu- ates to the Chapel prior to the commencement exercises, above.

Glimpses 179 Glimpses Of Something New Food Stamps They ' re 14 milimeters long and a little over 5 milimeters wide. They come in sev- eral different colors and monitary demo- minations, yet are all the same size. What are they? Why, they ' re meal tickets! Bet- ter known by the generic term food stamps, these little booklets are part of the new dining hall system that began in August. The new system was met with a variety of reactions at the beginning of the year, and both students and dining hall staff went through growing pains in the first few weeks as problems in the system were ironed out. The food stamp booklets were changed for the Spring semester; the pri- mary reason was that the student would be protected from loss if his book was stolen or lost. Among the features of the new books were ID numbers, less money in each book, and prettier colors. Dr. McGuire helped the new J-Term ' Rhetoric staff to understand Kerrigan — the Mac student ' s nightmare!! J-Term Blues A new Rhetoric curriculum awaited the freshmen this year. Little did they know that the coming year was to be filled with such exciting activities as learning Kerri- gan, writing papers with him and giving speeches. Perhaps the most challenging part of the Rhetoric sequence was the January Term course in research paper writing. Students were all but chained to the library during the month as they scrambled to complete the requirements set for each paper. They did take time out of their rigid research schedule to attend the lectures in Bailey Auditorium. These lectures were soon dubbed the Happy Al and Bouncin ' Bob Show. Even the professors had to do some learn- ing. They had to be trained in the ways of teaching Rhetoric, since many of them were from outside the English depart- ment. It has been reported that both the stu- dents and the professors survived the course, and were able to continue learning and teaching beginning in February. Glimpses Of Something New 181 Going . . . Going . . . Gone It was a slightly chilly April Tues- day morning, but that did not stop students from watching as the Fine Arts building came tumbling down. There were several delays by E.P.A. officials which pushed the date of the razing back for a few days. It did, however, finally, come down. The two Illinois Women ' s College signs which were set over the doors were tak- en down first, to be preserved in Mac ' s history books. At 9:16 a.m. the wrecking ball hit for the first time, and the building which had faithfully housed the music and art departments was slowly re- duced to a pile of wood and bricks. Many music and art students, saddened at the loss of an old friend, watched as their building fell. Grade school children from nearby schools also observed the event, as did many faculty mem- bers and other students who were not in class. By early evening the building had been reduced to one large pile, and several days later even the pild of bricks and wood was gone. Many students took parts of the building, mostly bricks, as souve- nirs, memories of their times in the Fine Arts Building. Farewell, Fine Arts! 182 Fine Arts Tartan Looks Ahead — Now!

Haegele Editor-in-Chief Tartan 183 II A Memoriam The start of the school year was meant to be a time of beinnings, of new students beginning college life, and of returning students, reunited with their friends, beginning yet another year of college. It was meant to be a time of joy and discovery, and a time of love and laughter. The air was filled with excitement and anticipation of what a new year would bring. But no one expected the two tragedies that came so soon after the year began. Steve Biloz was one of the most popular and most loved persons on campus. He brought much laughter and joy to the people he knew. Always carrying a ready smile, he delighted his friends and acquaintances with his wit. Steve was also a talented sportsman, and an especially excellent golfer. The motorcycle accident which claimed his life was both sudden and unexpected. The shock that followed his death stayed with the campus for along time. Caria Hertweck was just beginning her college career when she, too, was killed, just one week after the death of Steve. She was just beginning a new chapter in her life that was promising and exciting and full of new adventures. In a time of so many beginnings, it was hard to accept the deaths of Steve and Carla. Something was missing. There was emptiness, a void that we struggled to fill And as we struggled we realized that they had touched our lives, that they had left an impression on us that maybe we did not realize while they were with us. Though they are gdne in body, their memories will continue to live on in us. In our hearts and in our minds we will always remember chance meetings, conversa- tions, shared laughter. And in those memories we will be a little sad, because they are gone from our lives; but we will also be joyful because we had the chance to share with them. And though their deaths were a loss for us, in one small way we gained something. We realized our own mortality, and in realizing that, we began to appreciate our own lives, and the lives of our friends just a little bit more. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other creature shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-9 182 I
