The first charter was re- ceived in 1S35. Largely through the influence of Abraham Lincoln, a new and more liberal charter was obtained in 1S39, and is still in force. Book of the Classes fp ( [i tiWregg la1 X P Mentor piston? On the twenty-seventh day of September in the year Nineteen Hun- dred and Twenty A. D. fifty-five aspiring lads and lasses departed from the shores of parental jurisdiction to embark upon the mystic voyage of a college career, eagerly anticipating a day four years hence when the last lap of the vovage of life should begin. Now that day has come, bringing to us not a spirit of eager anticipation, but one of reluctant realization that those college days have passed too quickly. They are mere memories; pleasant, ' tis true, — exciting, too. We had things our way the first year here, although the green was slow to wear off. The grass, however, was hardier than weeds and we soon crowded the upper-classmen out of the way. Our first attempt to have a -teed ' was crushed, we admit, but a counter attempt was successful and from them we defied all of them, ate when we liked and said what we pleased. Our return the next year was marked by renewed vigor and deter- mination to instill in the hearts of every McKendrean a true college spirit. To do this we had to be the examples. The Freshies of this year were not the right caliber to experiment with. So we gave our own parties, in- vited fellow McKendreans, and really were a congenial bunch. Five girls from our ranks effected the organization of the Student Volunteer Band. Then came the campaign for McKendree ' s endowment and the Class of ' 24 responded with the largest pledge of all classes. The crowning achieve- ment of the year was the establishment of the Student Association and the election of one from our midst as the first president. In our Junior year we did not intend to be forced into the background and from the beginning maintained our position so nobly obtained. Al- though many did not return, the twenty-five who did. ably carried on our colors Again, one from our class was elected president of the Student Association and was re-elected the following term. Assistantships in every department of college work were awarded to members of the Class of 1924. The works of the former three years were carried on during our Senior year In all school activities we had our representatives in the Student Association, in the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. cabinets, on the 1924 Mc- Kendrean Staff, assistantships and student instructors. It was indeed ap- propriate that the student body should dedicate the beautiful elm to the memory of the Class of 1924. But these are reminiscences, the actualities never to be experienced again. However, these pleasant memories of attainments in our college career encourage us and arouse within us the determination to attain to the best in life. a n [giBX d Qd AiE Page Twenty-fiv 1924 r «t Jo ; William Cralley, B.

PATTERSON In an effort to aid young men earning their way through college, the McKendree Self-Help Plan was started last Fall by Dr. Harmon. Arrange- ments were made with Swift ' s in East St. Louis to furnish the students with employment for periods of one week. They then returned to college for two weeks. In this manner students were enabled to earn two-thirds of the usual number of semester hours of credit while aiding themselves financially. An effort is now being made to se cure the location of a factory in Lebanon so that the system may be continued on a larger scale and in a more convenient manner. □ n iX PlFIfl Kal[ Xe|lW % [p] JdXctI Pl tCTKEMDRtWP l [eSXoIP ' Sub-Collegiate Students Daszko, Walter Freesemeyer, Mrs. Fay Estell Galeener, Louis Ed.

It was started in 1828 and completed the following ' year. In 1S56, after 27 years of service, it was destroyed by a fire of incendiary origin. Book of Fine Arts m m [m [5 {a] ll SS JFinc Arts The School of Music and Expression of McKendree College offers a four year course in music leading to the degree of Bachelor of Music. To those completing the work in the Expression Department a certificate is awarded. A two year course in public school music is also offered, a state certificate being granted to those completing it. Due to the close affiliation of the College of Liberal Arts and Science and the School of Music, McKendree College offers unique advantages to those desiring a musical education. Membership in the College Glee Clubs and Quartette is by competitive examination. The training received by participation in these activities is invaluable not only to those looking forward to a musical career but also to those studying music lor its cultural benefits. Although specializing in the advance work, attention is given to the preparation of beginners in all branches of work. An added feature of the School is the study made of great artists. Due to the proximity of Lebanon to St. Louis students are enabled to attend the concerts given in that city by great artists at a nominal cost. The faculty for the year 1924-1925 will be as follows: Grant McDonald, Director and Department of Piano. Pauline Harper, Voice. Olive E. Patmore A.

Very few institutions, however, can boast of an organization such as the McKendree orchestra. Only five of its former members were back at the beginning of the first semester but with ten new members to fill the ranks, prospects for the year looked blight from the very first. Rehearsals began ; after a few weeks of faithful practice the initial public appearance was made on the McKendree Home-Coming program. From that time on, numerous appearances at the College and at public entertain- ments gave experience to the players and enjoyment to the various audi- ences. At present the Orchestra is composed of fifteen members. Elaborate plans are being formulated by the society for next year during which time several tours are to be made. g] (b][dX 51P m The McKendree Quartette is one of the best in this section. This is vouched for by the immediate popularity it has met with everywhere it has gone. The programs are of high grade and are very clever and in- teresting. In addition to regular quartette numbers, the men give solos, readings and a play. For versatility and true entertaining ability, they are unsurpassed. This is the first year these men have been together but they sing with the tonal effect and confidence of professionals. The quartette has filled numerous engagements out of town. This summer they plan to tour Southern Illinois making eighty-eight towns in their itinerary. The McKendree Quartette has Harold Brown of Centralia, 111., as first tenor; Kenneth Ripple of Moberly, Mo., as second tenor; Earl Hussong, of Independence, Kansas, as baritone; Lewis Peterson of Mt. Vernon, 111., as bass and Thomas Wittenburg of Benton, 111., as soloist. □ ffl m n [DXaj IWff KI MDF This is the first year that McKendree has had a Young Men ' s Glee Club in a number of years. This year the Club is composed of sixteen regular members. The Club loses only one man this year. Thus with Prof. McDonald as director, and a large Freshman class from which to choose, we are assured of another good Glee Club next year. The Club is an efficient organization. It has a regular time for meet- ing. It selects its officers every semester. The officers for the first sem- ester were Paul Jones, president, and Lewis Peterson, corresponding secre- tary. The second semester Buell Robbs was elected president and Lev is Peterson re-elected corresponding secretary. The Club filled several engagements in Lebanon, Madison, East St. Louis and several other places. The Club plans to make an extended trip for a week or ten days next year. College credit is given for Glee Club work.

The Girls ' Glee Club was organized in November but circumstances pre- vented any serious work until February. Since that time the Club has developed rapidly in strength and ability, and prospects for a strong Club next year are of the best. The Club will be one of the most worthy or- ganizations of its nature in the community. The Girls ' Glee Club has appeared in Chapel and on recital at vari- ous times.

Book of Athletics f ■ . . hc (Coacl)iiu taff In Earl A. Davis, director of athletics, and Prof. J. P. Neel, assistant coach, McKendree possesses a coaching staff unrivaled by any small col- lege in this part of the country. Both are veteran players in all lines of sport; both have had a number of years experience in the coaching pro- fession; and both have turned out championship teams in all branches of sport. This is the first year for both of them at McKendree. As was to be expected, they were forced to spend most of this year developing their men and in laying the groundwork for future successes. Davis came to us from Missouri Wesleyan College, where he was director of athletics for six years. During that time he won several state title3 in football and other sports. Neel was director of athletics at Chillicothe College, and as such often pitted his teams against those coached by Davis. As a result they understand each other ' s methods and are working together to give McKen- dree the best era of athletics in her history . n ¥1[DX [a| lf2fl- Ef nQl[a ; n IdXoI loKCTKI HPBE Wl L .7 P JB] ; + t 1 vnw n . £he itt Club The McKendree College ' M ' Club, to which only men who have been awarded an athletic ' M ' are eligible, was organized this year. The Club seeks to foster clean athletics and interests itself in the development of the athleii2 prowess of its Alma Mater. Dr. Cameron Harmon, president of McKendree College, was elected the first president ; John Lsom, vice president and Henry Dietz, secretary- treasurer. n W Wc % I a1[ KQl[M % PlDX ll pl ' KIMPMMl ll XQltg (L h c Jfnothall Reason The football season of 1923 was unique in that it was contemporaneous with a large growth in student body. Coach Earl A. Davis, coming from Missouri Wesleyan College found upon his arrival, High School stars, College stars, and the usual less capable aspirants for athletic honors, all numbering about thirty. From this aggregation he built, with the valuable aid of Coach Neel, a fighting machine of great promise to McKendree athletics. That the promise was fulfilled is shown by the success of the season. The season began by a game with Scott Field. The preceding training had made the McKendree Eleven a fighting machine which was easily the master of the Army aggregation. Early in the game Garrett, halfback, about whom Coach Davis had built many plays, received a collar-bone fracture which ended the season for him and lost for McKendree an ac- curate passer and brilliant runner. Notwithstanding this loss to the team a sensational run by Lee, with the touchdown by Isom ended the game with a six to zero score for the Purple. iSK KHC |P1(dXq1[b1i Culver-Stockton, a formidable Eleven from Missouri, next came to Hypes Field. There was much fumbling caused by a cold, wet field, but the game gave splendid promise for the McKendree team. Excellent punt- ing by Berst, McKendree fullback, was an important feature of the game, which ended with a zero-zero score against the powerful Missourians. The third game, with Eastern Illinois Normal University, was played at Charleston. A brilliant open game in the final quarter evened chances for the Purple after three quarters of mastery by the mighty up-state eleven. A shift from punting to passing by Captain Willis permitted a gain of sixty yards by Goode and Pettit, with a final touchdown by Goode, before the whistle blew. The final score was thirteen to thirteen. When the McKendree Machine went to Carlinville for the game with Blackburn several of the regulars were absent, but this fact did not prevent a victory. In spite of the Blackburn team ' s well ordered defense and con- sistent passing, Willis, Pettit, and Lee crossed the Blackburn line, v hich, helped by kicks by Isom, ended the annual argument with a twenty-three to three victory for the Purple. When Lincoln came they found the McKendreans entertaining alumni and friends. The Railsplitters contributed to the entertainment by an exhibition of splendid football on Hypes Field, and put up a valiant but futile fight against the undefeated Purple. Good interference and bril- liant running brought a touchdown by Lee, which was followed by a touch- down by Lincoln. An excellent defensive game by Pettit led to an ex- change of the ball after a powerful drive by the Railsplitters, and the Purple started the march which terminated in a touchdown by Search and try-for-goal by Isom. The game ended, thirteen to six. The first defeat of the Season came when McKendree met Cape Gir- ardeau Normal at Cape Girardeau. A cold, wet field hindered both teams, but a safety in the first quarter by Cape proved to be the only chance for a score, and the game ended two-to-zero in favor of the Missourians. McKendree went to Alton determined to gain a victory over Shurtleff, but due to inefficient interference and in spite of a brilliant passing attack, hopes were dashed when the Pioneers brought defeat for the Purple with a twelve point score. One week later McKendree defeated Western Military Academy on Hypes Field. Even after substitution of second-string men by Coach Davis the Purple gained a nineteen point lead on the Cadets, and held them scoreless. When the McKendree Eleven went to Carbondale for the annual Classic with S. I. N. U., a muddy field awaited it. After a punting duel in which Berst proved the master, the Egyptians opened up with an aerial at- tack for which the Purple defense proved inadequate. A remarkable tackle by Dietz in the last half prevented a touch-down for Carbondale just before the whistle blew with a twenty-to-seven score spelling defeat for the Davis men. a n fBpXG3||D Q m The last game of the reason, on Thanksgiving Day, occurred at Springfield, Missouri with the Southwest Missouri Teachers ' College. Playing before more than one thousand fans on a field covered with mud and snow, the Purple lost by a twenty-six to zero score. Thus ended the season. In the ten games played the Purple made a total of eighty points to th e opponents ' eighty-two. Four games were won, two were tied, and four were lost. Considering that Coach Davis, coming from another college built a new team, the season was a success. Only three letter men returned to College last fall and since the team is com- posed largely of lower classmen, great hopes may be raised for football at McKendree.

Willis, playing his second year on the McKendree team, played a versatile game. He is the only man in college to win two football letters. But for an accident at the beginning of the sea- son in his Freshman year he would no doubt be the possessor of three M ' s. He is a Junior. John I ' som, Fullback CHRISTOPHER, ILL. Isom is the only college football man in Southern Illinois to receive mention for the All-State team. He is a consist- ent ground gainer and plays a great de- fensive game.

He gained ground, broke up passes, or did anything else that the occasion requir- ed. He will be back again next year. Lloyd Pettit, Center PATTONSBURG, MO. Speed is the man around whom the team was built. Easily the best center in Southern Illinois, he was a constant source of trouble to ithe opposition. He was a stonewall on the defense and a veritable tornado on the offense. Henry Dietz, Left Guard CHRISTOPHER, ILL. Dietz, playing left guard, made up in fighting spirit what he lacked in weight. He was in every play and broke through the line time and time again to spoil the plans of the opposition for a gain. He is a Sophomore. □ b][5X P Page Fifty-six )fq|[M )[a] tP XCTlPtfjff E3XQ Q Robert Mintox, Eight Guard MURPHYSBORO, ILL.

Ray Carter, Right Guard CARTERVILLE, ILL. Opposing teams soon learned that they could gain no ground through Carter. He played his position like a veteran and will be one of the sources of strength for the Purple for the next two years. Ray G-oode, Left End WHITE HALL, ILL. One of the White Hall duet, Goode was all that his name implied. He was a sure tackier and could get down the field to receive a forward pass faster than the opposition could cover him. He is a Freshman. 1ST, Left Tackh OBLONG, ILL. It made no difference to Berst wheth- er he was wanted on the line to stop the drive of the enemy, or in the back- field to punt the ball out of danger. He also excelled as a forward passer and much of the credit for the team ' s suc- cess must be given to him. James Newcom, Right End HERRIN, ILL. Playing his first year of collage foot- ball, Newcom developed into a star per- former before the season ended. Al- ways in the fight, his was a hard posi- tion for opponents to get around. He is a Junior and will be back again next fall to aid Coach Davis in winning the State title. a a j Page Fifty-seven [h] [1i lasketlrall The basketball season of 1923- ' 24 began well, with more than thirty men out for practice in Eisenmeyer Gymnasium. The coaches worked with individual groups until finally all were eliminated except a group of fifteen men, from which group the squad was selected. Dietz, ' 26 was elected to the captaincy to fill the vacancy caused by the non-return of Captain-elect Sullins. The schedule was in many respects the hardest attempted in recent years by the Purple and White. St. Louis University, Illinois Wesleyan, Eastern Illinois Normal and Concordia were considered the strongest teams to be met by the McKendree cagemen. Added to these new comers were Shurtleff, Southern Illinois Normal, and Lincoln, tried and worthy cage battlers against the Purple. Early in the season, after much hard work and drill, on the part of the Davismen, they met St. Louis University at Eisenmeyer gymnasium and conquered the powerful newcomers. This victory knitted the squad Q U (— 1 into a machine which was destined to grind out many such successes dur- ing the season. An exchange of victories occurred with S. I. N. U., the Egyptians winning the return game at Eisenmeyer gymnasium. This loss upset the dope and caused much glee in the Egyptian camp — glee with which no loyal McKendrean could sympathize, since our squad was in a slump due to colds, flu and difficult trips to the northern part of the state. McKendree won from Shurfcleff at Alton by a score of 27-21. The season ended with the return game with Shurtleff. A 26-39 vic- tory over the Pioneers ended a brilliant and successful season for the Purple in which the Davis men won nine of thirteen games. Newcom. Berst, Carter, Dietz, Isom, Pearce, and Willis each starred, in that each did his part in making a fast, furious, fighting five, whenever and however directed by the coaching staff. The scores for the season follow : Western Military Academy 14; McKendree 21 Southern Illinois Normal 14; McKendree 21 Herrin Elks 10; McKendree 20 St. Louis University 10; McKendree 14 Concordia 41; McKendree 26 Lincoln 15; McKendree 24 Illinois Wesleyan 38; McKendree 18 Shurtleff 21; McKendree 27 St. Louis University 41; McKendree 18 Luccock Lodge 8; McKendree 30 Southern Illinois Normal 18; McKendree 13 Scott Field 11; McKendree 38 Lincoln 10; McKendree 21 Shurtleff 26; McKendree 33 Totak 282 309 Q iX PTFlf lll AplB Page Fifty-nine M i e M (the (track (Learn In the Washington, Rolla, McKendree track meet held in St. Louis at the beginning of the season the Purple track men shewed the re:ult of training and coaching by placing second. Ray Goode won the javelin with ease, throwing it 180 feet. He also took first in the shot. Isom placed in several events and the other men gave a good account of themselves. For most of the men it was their first collegiate competition, and for many of them it was their first effort on the track. Coach Davis will have an experienced squad of track athletes, Goode, Isom, Frey, Darrow, Ross, Karnes, Pettit, Dolley, Ravenstein, Plater, and Rehmus, around which to build a strong team next season. The medley relay team, Isom, 220 yd. dash ; Darrow, 440 yd. dash ; Frey 880 yd. run; and Karnes, mile run, took part in the Drake Relays and made an excellent showing.

Book ( Organizations ¥1t[¥|[p X 51 IW(g ©rijani Hat ions In many institutions it is said the sideshows are larger than the main tent. Such is not the case, however, at McKendree. The sideshows, the organizations, receive proper recognition and every student is en- couraged to belong to those in which he is interested. But never is he encouraged to sacrifice time in the work of the various clubs which should be spent in the fundamental purpose — education. McKendree College has clubs for every purpose; the literary societies, Clio, Plato and Philo, are unequaled. Philo and Plato, for men, are two of the oldest literary societies in existence, the former having been estab- lished in 1836 and the latter in 1849. Clio provides the opportunity for co-eds to become proficient in public speaking and literary endeavor. The Christian organizations seek to inculcate the spirit of Christ ; the musical organizations provide rare opportunities for those gifted in that line; the Press Club gives students with journalistic aspirations a medium for expression; and the Student Association affords a means for self-gov- ernment and community work. n X lolFlfgfl- lg u Pagv Sixty-thi n M aft HSXajIek § ' tul cnt Association ( )fficers First Semester Robert Stephens Second Semester Robert Stephens Mrs. E.

C3aQ S A (the piultfsopluan iCtterary Society The Philosophian Literary Society is the oldest literary organization in continuous existence west of the Alleghenies. The Society was or- ganized in 1837 and since then has been sending representatives into every walk of life. Philo boys have served in three wars. Colonel Ridson M. Moore, a Philo, headed the McKendree regiment during the Civil War. The first McKendrean to make the supreme sacrifice, in the World War, was Leo Glen McCormack, of Bone Gap, Illinois. Some of Philo ' s prominent sons are: Chas. S. Deneen, Judge William M. Farmer, L. Y. Sherman and Silas Bryan. Philo ' s representation in the Illinois Legislature began in 1849, and from that time on, with the exception of brief intervals, she has had her representatives in every session. The same has been true in Congress since 1863. The society has been represented on the Judicial Bench since 1857. The principal aim of the society is to provide an opportunity for the student to develop in oratorical attainments, and scientific and literary pursuits. It also provides a social privilege, a fellowship with other members, which is of great value. a fny g][a]i ? s 4 VfyretfUweyer HenArli CrxLLeJ jkfc % v •SttLriJ - % 0 0 J£ $ 4i pl • . m|fc - k Si a « 7beU. ?{3rm$ 4i % §XHzi] PI P J53 4- j ;.■ Sixty-seven iHgX in Wctt CUonian ¥tteraru ifcrctefp The Clionian Literary Society was founded in 1869, with fourteen charter members. Miss Edith M. Flint, who was the first woman gradu- ate of McKendree, was also the first president of Clio. The work which has been accomplished along literary lines during Clio ' s fifty-five years of existence is deserving of high praise. Very few girls, who have passed through McKendree ' s Halls, as students have failed to join hands with that group of girls who are commonly known as Clios. The Clionian Literary Society is the only girls ' organization on the campus which does literary work. The aims of the society are, pr imarily, to bring the girls closer together in their social life, to cultivate an appreci- ation of and a desire for literary work. During the past year many inter- esting programs have been given. Clio holds an important place in the life of each girl at McKendree. The standards which w re established with the founding of the society are being upheld by the present Clionians. We are proud of the early record of the society. Her ideals are of the highest type. She trains the mind so that opportunities are met and difficulties are overcome in such a manner as to bring the greatest success. Clio serves as an incen- tive to mental life and action. Shall we always keep in mind what the wise man has said, Content- ment with present attainment is the beginning of all decline. dXal[aTFjy2 . - jPf KQE oIId Kc— ii fofp HENRY -gfc .SHROTH mNGUM FA,N OZZ 0I KARNES ■k RUNKWITZ FAHENESTOCH Hk $ CLIO .ft STARKEY i Wfik — YOUNG T CUNNISHAM y FUILERTON SREAVES CHAPPLE DENBEAUX STARR j , A p| f A f O v C ? r ■ TRESSLER STEPHENS HAWKINS % jK [q| F ) P1[ Hb lOEXc pUitortbm literary Society The seven cy-f if th anniversary of the Platonian Literary Society was observed on June 5th at the regular triennial banquet which was held in Pearson ' s Hall.

Some 30 new men have joined Plato ' s ranks, making a total of more than 40 active Platonians. The monthly open session programs have been given regular- ly and have been well patronized by visitors and friends of Plato. Plato is a vital force on the campus, interesting herself in every move- ment which has for its purpose the betterment of Old McKendree. A vital factor in the life of the College, Plato has a history which ap- peals to all. Organized in April, 1849, Plato has not only been a factor in college life but has been the place of training and inspiration for twenty- two hundred men. Many and illustrious are the men who have passed through Plato ' s halls and gone forth to places of honor and trust in all walks of life. Among the sons of Plato who have held important positions are General John A. Halderman, former minister to Siam ; Charles P. Johnson, lieutenant-gov- ernor of Missouri; General Wesley Merritt ; William A. Kelsoe, journalist; and Carroll Boggs, former chief justice of the Illinois Supreme Court.

The first debate under the League was on the ques- tion of the Government ownership of coal mines. This was held in April, 1923. Owing to a technicality in the decision of the debate held here no championship was awarded. The debating season of 1924 was a complete success resulting in the awarding to McKendree the championship of the League. The question debated was Resolved: that the United States should join the League of Nations. The affirmative team composed of F. E. Stelsreide, O. R. Speckel- meyer and J. B. Zimmerman. The negative had Paul D. Reese, Milburn P. Akers and Walter Bailey. The affirmative won from Greenville while the negative team lost to the Alton co-eds by a small margin. However, after the total number of points scored, by both of the McKendree teams, was added up McKendree had won the championship of the League. She is going to do the same thing next year.

The way some of the faculty have been flunking students this semester quite a number of the two hundred freshmen for next year will have al- ready spent a year at McKendree. INFORMATION McKendree College expects all fresh- men to observe the following rules: (1). Not more than 10 students can visit the kitchen ice box a night. (2). Doimitory rooms must be cleaned at least once a semester. (-3). No freshman shall study more than eight hours a day. (4). No freshman shall beat an up- per classman out of his girl. g][5Xa1[D  P[DX [WCT g KIMDRW IMl[ ) Senior Class jplropltecy I was standing ankle deep in mud. The only foreign language I k n ew — and it wasn ' t the kind one finds listed in a college catalog — was in- adequate to express my feelings. My Ford, a 1942 model, which made it but seven years old at the time, refused to function. Not only did it re- fuse to function, but it paid no attention whatever to the dire fate I threatened it with. Becoming disgusted with the situation, I started across the field to the nearest farm house. More mud. More foreign language. To my sorrow I discovered that the owner of the farm was not at home. The hired man informed me that he was secretary of the chamber of commerce of the nearby village and had gone there to attend an impor- tant business meeting. He understood that the chamber was endeavoring to induce Dr. J. W. Cralley, a veterinarian of little more than local repute, to locate his livery barn and animal hospital in that city. But the hired man would call the farmer-secretary ' s wife and see if she would allow him to use a team to pull me out of the mud if I so desired. I so desired. He went into the house to obtain permission. He returned with the news that he would aid me for the small charge of ten dollars. I remon- strated. He was firm. I made use of more foreign language. He agreed to call the farmer ' s wife and did so. As soon as I saw her standing in the doorway I knew the situation was changed, the day was saved, and so were my ten dollars. She was pro- fuse in her apologies. She didn ' t know it was a fellow McKendrean who was in trouble. Martha ordered the hired man to hitch up the team im- mediately. I inquired as to where I might find Ernest and was told to go to the chamber of commerce. He spent most of his time there, she said, in an at- tempt to have big industries locate in Mounds. So far, he had secured a new blacksmith shop for the town. The hired man and his team succeeded in placing me on terra firma once more and I sped on into the village. I found the chamber of com- merce building and went into the office of the secretary. isxq m □1 [d Xczzd 1 [si There was Ernest. He was jubilant. Mounds was to be the location of Dr. Cralley ' s new hospital. The doctor had just departed. Ernest in- sisted on taking me home with him for dinner. We went and while Mai ' tha busied herself in cooking the meal we talked about McKendree. Had I any news of the old school? I didn ' t. Ernest therefore began to tell me all the information he had gleaned from the Alumni Notes of the McKendree Review. Cecil Corlew, he told me, had achieved international fame as a toe- dancer. Her engagement to a scion of an ancient English family had re- cently been announced. The next bit of information Dizzy told me was even more surpris- ing than the tale of Cecil ' s success on the stage. Haase, it seemed, had been freed of his clerical garments by the conference. Ten years after receiving his degree he had become pastor of an aristocratic church in New York City. He evidently liked the social whirl, for he became an ar- dent advocate of dancing. And the fate of another one of the members of the Class of ' 24 was even more astonishing. Shipp, the august Mr. Shipp, was at that very moment engaging in leading a campaign seeking to establish blue shirts — work shirts — as the correct attire for business and social occasions. But my astonishment knew no bounds when I was told Agnes Tressler and Ruth Fain had been returned from the foreign field. Agnes had sought to have the heathen adopt bobbed hair. Ruth, well Ruth, it ap- peared, had wanted to return and was now keeping house at Bone Gap, 111. The time came for my departure and it was with difficulty that I left the residence of Ernest and Martha and continued on my journey. I was compelled to be in St. Louis that evening for an important convention and banquet. As I neared Murphysboro I discovered I was running short of gas. On the outskirts of that city I drove into a filling station. George Grauel — none other than dear old George — cams to replenish my supply. But I had to hurry on. Driving into Belleville I noticed that it was nearihg supper time. I brought the Ford to a halt in front of one of Mr. Thompson ' s restaurants. P[5XS1[gK jfaj Hgjja Holman Library tP[pX |agCtKIMBRE Wlla|[ QllBl« As I was handed the usual ticket I recognized the cashier as being none other than Omer Whitlock. A few words with Omer and I dashed to the counter where I was waited on by Arthur Hendricks. While Ar- thur was getting the necessary utensils together for repast I chatted with him. Both he and Omer, he said, had abandoned the ministry as a pro- test to the conference ' s treatment of Haase. Omer tried to short-change me when I paid the check. I accepted his profuse apology, however, and went my way. Near the Belleville high school building I was nearly run over by a street car. The motorman, using a language not learned at college, told me where I could go to. I thought his voice had a familiar ring to it and was not surprised to dis- cover that he was my old friend Runkwitz. Crossing Eads Bridge my fare was collected by Van Houten. By this time I was not ' surprised at anything, so merely greeted Van in an af- fectionate manner and hastened on. Down Washington avenue I hurried. I hurried too fast, evidently, for I was ordered by a policeman to bring my Ford to a halt. When Spreckelmeyer recognized me he offered to save me the time of going to police court the next day by accepting my five dol- lar fine himself. And when he told me Marion Harmon was the police judge I was glad to give him the money. I parked the Ford near the Statler hotel and hurried in. The meet- ing I was to attend was already in session — that is the banquet part of it had commenced. I hastened into the cloak room. Divesting myself of my wraps I handed them to the check girl. Alice was surprised to see me. She said so. But I was hungry and hurried away after giving her a small tip. The banquet room was beautifully decorated, at least every one thought so since the Statler had introduced the custom of employing wom- en as waiters. As I was being ushered to my seat by the head waiter it dawned upon me that she bore a striking resemblance to Mrs. Davis. The day was complete. I had either seen or had received the latest news of all the members of the Class of ' 24. As I sat at the banquet table my mind went back to Commencement Day, 1924. The speaker, I remem- bered, had said something or other about leadership and making a place for oneself in the world; something about the crying need for college gradu- ates. Truly, the Class of ' 24 had — well, it had alright. □ n B v3 Bi g- l gKg[M m The Circuit Riders founded McKen- diee College in a veritable wilderness.
