For service and Christian culture, for efficiency she stands. Her sons and daughters praise her. with voices, hearts and hands. CHORUS: Hail to thee our dear old McKendree, May we always loyal be, It ' s a song of praise we ' ll raise to thee. Alma Mater, dear old M-C. May we ever own thee true and wise and right. Honor Purple and the White. And for victory we ' ll always fight, ' Till we win for old M-C-K. Enduring and strong she stands there, stands upon our College Hill. Though others may outnumber, she holds the first place still, For beauty and truth and knowledge, and for service without bound. Then let us raise our voices, until the plains resound. Che 1 9 £! ££££ Senior Class History At the beginning of the school year of 1922 a large num- ber of freshmen entered McKendree in the pursuit of a higher education. For three years the Class of ' 26 has met successfully the sorrows and joys that are a part of a college education. Now, entered upon the fourth and last year of our college life. we begin to realize as never before how much it has meant to us. We have formed many friendships, both among students and professors, which will last through life. Twelve of the original members of the Class of ' 26 have gone through all four years together which is an unusually large percentage. Many honors have been bestowed upon members of the Class of ' 26. During our sophomore year, the office of presi- dent of the Student Association was held by one of our mem- bers. Robert Stephens. This is an office seldom held by a sopho- more. Again in our junior year the same office was bestowed upon another of our members, St. Clair Harris. This year this office was held by Paul Schuwerk the first semester and Walter Bailey the second semester. The Class of ' 26 has been well represented in Pi Kappa Delta, the Press Club, Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. as well as in the literary societies. During our junior year the histronic ability of the members of our class was ably demonstrated in the pro- duction of Clarence. However, our ability lies not only along intellectual, dramatic, and social lines, but along those of ath- letics as well. We have been well represented in football, basket- ball, and track. Looking back upon our four years stay at McKendree, there are few changes we would make in our history as a class were it within our power to do so. 1 9 2 6 George Darrow. A. Senior President.

Before we leave our gayety to the class of ' 28. Somewhere in the future, in the journalistic mill. As a world renowned sport ' s writer, you will see our Guy Magill. Lebanon sends out Dorothy Dee to make our class more fair. A certain diamond tells us she ' ll be Mrs. Bob ' ' Adair. Photography is his business: they say that he ' s some talker About his little studio. Buy pictures from Walker. She came to us a simple Reed, a sunny voice had she. Now she sings with Sawyer, a duet for life — do. mi. Next comes a Noble one. an ad-man. yes. that ' s right. A ready smile, a bachelor: his other name ' s McKnight. Swift as wind in basketball: all the rooters thrill. To see the super-playing of our hero — Mayo Magill. Little is seen of Harry Brown in the way of outward show. By kindly deeds and words he impresses us. you know. Verna Andrews is the queen of intellectual fields. By innate sweetness and faith her influence she wields. Evelyn McNeely is a debater with an analytic mind. Gracious, friendly, patient, yet, she surely is a find. Her smile is bright, her heart is true, her jest is free from malice The old home town is proud of her. and so are we — ' tis Alice. All the members of our crew like the pleasant mien And the sweet spirit of Miss Evelyn McGeehon. With mind aflame with burning thoughts which issue forth in rhymes, His gaze is fixed, his jaw is set; ' tis Daniel penning lines. Do you remember one who from life great joy does sip. Who has a lovely tenor voice? Of course, you do — ' tis Rip. Our chief editor has an envious line which really can ' t be beat. He ' s gifted with a voice quite rare. We have high hopes for Peet. For a quiet willing worker. Ed Hopper has no peers. A smile for all and everything; the future holds no fears. Demure as shrinking violets: the library is her home. By dint of honest labor, we remember Ruth DuComb. With beaming face and an outstretched hand, he greets both great and sr For dispelling gloom and sorrow, there ' s no one like John Hall. Since music — especially jazz — morbid thoughts does drown. To be a great musician is the aim of Harold Brown. Mild in spirit, quiet, demure, in our hearts she leaves A tender feeling and respect for the name of Jesselyn Grieve. A rising pedagog we have next to present to you. Some say that he ' s a painter, but Grupe says taint true. Maurice McHenry and Wendel Brown are steadfastly true blue. They live outside McKendree ' s Hill. We like their point of view. A member of the Male Quartette, among singers he ' s a pearl. For everyone sure likes to hear the melodious voice of Earl. Fleming is a minister. Hearts with hope he oft does fill. While Gardner is a student from the city of Belleville. He hurls a mighty javelin, king of the spear is Ray. Good fortune smiles on him for he wins in every fray. Captain of every sport, his luck will never stop. He has a variety of names, but he ' s better known as Wop. Who ' s who in Junior Hall of Fame we have to you revealed, And now. oh class of ' 28. our sceptre you may wield. 1 9 Thirty-eight Sophomore Class Russell Isom • ■ President JOSEPH HORTIN Vice-President VIVIAN YOUNG Secretary -Treasurer Allen.

Certificates are also granted in piano, organ, voice, violin, and public school music. Judging by the increased enrollment in all departments, the past year has been a successful one for the School of Music and Expression. Semi-monthly afternoon recitals, several public recitals, and a faculty recital have been given. A branch studio in piano has been opened in Mascoutah as well as piano and violin studios in O ' Fallon. Students have the opportunity of receiving good training by participating in the Glee Clubs, Band, or Orchestra. An operetta, The Lass of Limerick Town, was successfully presented in Lebanon by the Glee Clubs under the direction of Miss Pauline Harper. The McKendree Quartette and Glee Clubs presented programs in adjoining towns, including a broadcasting program from St. Louis. Ten recitals in organ and piano were given in various towns of Southern Illinois. The Taming of the Shrew was one of several plays given under the direction of Miss Olive Patmore. Students are fortunate in being able to attend concerts by great artists which are frequently given in St. Louis.

MUELLER With the major part of its personnel retained from last year and with the addition of several experienced musicians from the present student body, the McKendree Orchestra has this year enjoyed greater popularity than ever. Many new numbers have been added to the repertoire this season. These, together with the favorites of previous years, proved themselves to be a vital part of chapel programs, recitals, concerts, and social affairs by their enthusiastic reception. 19 2 6 Forty-six McKendree College Band Harry E. Mueller. Director. The activities of the Band began with the opening of the football season. Appearing at all local games and accompanying the team on some of its trips away from McKendree, it added materially to the enthusiastic spirit so evident during every gridiron battle. With its members in appropriate uniforms it headed the Home-Coming parade and appeared in concert at various times throughout that day. A number of other local engagements have proved the Band to be a real live musical organization. ; 9 i 6 Forty -seven Treble Clef Club OFFICERS President GRACE WILLS Secretary-Treasurer HELEN BARLOW Librarian VERNA ANDREWS The Treble Clef Club, under the direction of Miss Pauline Harper, is composed of about twenty members. The club was organized in the early fall, and work was carried on in the same manner as in a regular class, one credit hour being given each semester. The Treble Clef Club joined the Men ' s Glee Club in a rehearsal once a week, and the combined clubs gave several programs during the year. Among these was a broadcasting program from station WSBF in St. Louis. The two clubs also appeared before the public in Lebanon on April Oth when they pre- sented The Lass of Limerick Town, a light musical comedy. Q Forty-eight Mens Glee Club OFFICERS President EARL HUSSONG Vice-President • • KENNETH RlPPEL Secretary -Treasurer ROBERT PEACH The Men ' s Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Pauline Harper, has enjoyed a very successful season. This year, for the first time, credit has been given for Glee Club work. Numerous programs, which include the broadcasting from St. Louis, the concert at Madison, Illinois, and the light opera. The Lass of Limerick Town. have been given in conjunction with the Treble Clef Club. Prospects for an even better club and a more successful season for next year are very bright. 19 2 6 Forty-nine The McKendree Quartette The McKendree Male Quartette has now been in tact for three years. During this time it has appeared all over Southern Illinois taking the fame of McKendree wherever it has gone. It has made for itself, in these three years, an enviable reputation as an organization giving high-class and enjoyable entertainments. The quartette is an ensemble of which the College is justly proud. Each member of the organization has a pleasing, well- trained voice which blends beautifully with those of the others. The members of the quartette are also versatile. Besides being able to do his part in the group, each member is a capable soloist executing with charm the music in his vocal range. This stellar ensemble has been sent out by the president for two successive summer seasons as an advertising agency for the College. The increased enrollment has been due in part to their efforts. During the school term, the quartette is in much demand in and out of town. Hundreds of entertainments and formal programs have be;n given by the quartette since its organization. It has also broadcasted from St. Louis. The personnel has remained unchanged for three years. The members are as follows: Harold M. Brown, Centralia. Illinois, first tenor; Kenneth C. Rippel. Moberly, Missouri, sec- ond tenor; Earl Hussong, Woodriver, Illinois, first bass; and Lewis V. Peterson, Mt. Vernon, second bass. 1 9 Fifty fLtti Lni ' £tLti 6 ttg 5TAFF JRk , 8 M C KENDREAN 000 1 9 Z 6 fifty -one Y. M. C. A. OFFICERS Robert Clarence Brennan Josi H - Philip Glotfelty . . M. C.

As its slogan. Devoted to the interests of McKendree College. implies, the Re- view has for its aim the advancement of McKendree ' s cause. However, it is a true student publication, and it is permitted to opera te with a minimum of faculty supervision. The McKendree Review is published by the Press Club, an organization whose membership is placed on a competitive basis. Any student is eligible for membership in the club after samples of his work have been submitted and satisfactorily passed upon by the faculty advisor and the editor-in-chief. To persons interested in journalism as a life profession, the Review offers an excellent opportunity to secure practical experience which will be of value to them in later years. Members of the staff have, in the past, successfully entered the field of journalism after the completion of their college careers. Miss Zella V. Brown, of the English Department, has. through the past school year, held the office of faculty advisor for the Review. P. E. Schuwerk and St. Clair Harris served as editor and business manager respectively during the 1925-1926 school term. As both of these men graduate with the class of ' 26, a new editor and a new business manager will be chosen next year. The office of the Review, which was provided by last year ' s staff, is located on the first floor of the Chapel Building. The major portion of the publication work is done in this office, and a file, which consists of copies of all numbers of the Review which date back to the founding of the paper, are kept in this place. A banquet for members of the staff is provided each year and some authority on journalism addresses the staff members at that time. The Review is a member of the Illinois College Press Association and is represented each year at meetings of that organization. Student subscriptions to the McKendree Review are included in the regu- lar fees paid each semester. In this way every student automatically becomes a subscriber for the paper upon matriculating in the College. Through the columns of the Review, former students as well as other friends of the institution are enabled to keep in touch with Old McKendree. 9 2 6 J l 19 2 6 The Bachelors Non-Resident Members Howard W.

Its purpose is to cen- tralize all student activities: to stimulate enthusiasm in behalf of the College, and to give support to any student or group of students representing the College. Any student who is regularly enrolled automatically becomes a member of the Association. The Student Association has charge of the chapel exercises each Friday morning. After disposing of any business which concerns the student body, interesting and entertaining programs are provided by individual students or organizations of the College. The Association assists materially in formulating and carrying out the Annual Inter-Scholastic and Home-Coming Day programs. Fifty-seven Philosophian Literary Society The record established by the Philosophian Literary So- ciety has been an enviable one. The year of her organization. 1837, marks her as the oldest literary society west of the Alle- gheny Mountains. Since 1837, she has sent her members into every honorable calling. In politics, religion, teaching, medicine, banking, and law, Philos have always led the way. L. Y. Sherman. Charles S. Deneen, and Frank Hereford, all eminent men. have sat in the Senate of the United States. Great editors from the ranks of the Philo are: John Locke Scripps. a founder of the Chi- cago Tribune: William E. Hyde, formerly editor of the St. Louis Republic, and Isaac N. Higgins. at one time editor of the San Francisco Morning Call. Judges William M. Farmer, and Charles S. Zane, Philo will always remember with pride. The purpose of the Society, as stated in the original consti- tution, was the mutual improvement of its members in ora- torical attainments, and scientific and literary pursuits. In ad- dition to this, Philos have always enjoyed a spirit of good fel- lowship, fostered by the Society. From the aims above stated, Philo has never drifted. On College Hill, as well as in the outside world, Philo has achieved her share of honors. In exhibitions, as in the Bryan Essay Contest, she has shown her efficient training. This year, the members have been trying to maintain the high stand- ard that has been developed in the past. Philo will continue to send out her great men into the walks of life, and her men will always strive to work toward the motto engraved in her star.

Through these many vears Clio has been providing for young women a type of intellectual training which no other college organization offers them. The purpose of Clio is to give its members literary train- ing of the practical type which every girl needs in this age. It also affords social and moral advantages by bringing the girls of the school closer together and developing in them a spirit of friendliness and cooperation. Since nearly every girl of the College is a member of Clio, the year 1925-1926 has been a prosperous and active one for the Society. Regular meetings are held every Friday evening, and once a month occurs the Open Session to which everyone is invited. On December eleventh. Clio entertained at its annual ban- quet, one of the important social functions of the year, which is especially enjoyed by the former Clionians who return for that occasion. At the time of the McKendree Home-Coming. Clio holds her annual reunion where the Clios of today become acquainted with the Clios of yesterday, thus strengthening the ties of sisterhood. 19 2 6 Platonian Literary Society From a small band of sixteen men, who in 1849 estab- lished the Platonian Literary Society, the organization has grown to a large and influential body on and off the campus. As the years have gone by, hundreds of men have passed through the period of training in Plato and have gone out into the world better prepared for life by the practice and training received within her classic walls. Realizing the value of extra-curricular activities to the de- velopment of a foursquare man, men have naturally turned to literary work as the best possible means of development out- side of their regular scholastic pursuits. It has ever been the foremost aim of Plato to develop men to the highest plane of literary efficiency. Perhaps never in the history of the Society has there been a keener interest manifested in the regular Friday meetings than has been shown this year. Here each week men match their wits in heated debates and receive training in parliamentary drill. There is constant practice in the organization and delivery of speeches. Through he medium of impromptu speeches men learn to think quickly and to make use of their general fund of information. In order that the members may not become too serious, an element of humor is frequently introduced to add spice to the meetings. Side by side with the literary work, Platonians have de- veloped the spirit of fraternity. The aim is to make the Society something more than a Friday night meeting. The members are active throughout the week, taking prominent parts in all student activities and constantly striving for a bigger and better Plato. 1 9 Sixty-two 19 2 6 Sixty-three Pi Kappa Delta Illinois Theta Chapter FACULTY MEMBERS Dr. Cameron Harmon Dean E.

' 11 ' 11 ' 28 ' 28 ' 28 ' 28 28 The Illinois Theta Chapter of Pi Kappa Delta, national honorary forensic society, was established at McKendree College in the spring of 1924 with ten members. Pi Kappa Delta has 1 1 2 chapters in the United States, and students win- ning forensic honors at McKendree College are thus given national recognition. Membership in the organization is open to those who have represented their college in a recognized intercollegiate oratorical contest or debate. The Southern Illinois-Southeast Missouri Oratorical Association, organized in 1925 under the direction of the Illinois Theta Chapter, met again at Mc- Kendree College, where six colleges were represented. Two classes, one for men and one for women, were held in the contest which took place in the after- noon and evening of April 16.1926. Each college sent representatives to the contest in oratory and extemporaneous speaking. In December, 1925, McKendree added distinction to her forensic activities by gaining admission to the State Oratorical Association. In debates the women ' s teams met teams from Greenville and Shurtleff. The men ' s teams likewise debated teams from these colleges. The men ' s negative team also met a team from the State Teachers ' College of Cape Girardeau, Mis- souri, and the men ' s affirmative team met the negative team of St. Louis Uni- versity. The question used by both men and women was the Pi Kappa Delta debate question: Resolved, that the United States Constitution should be amended to give Congress power to regulate Child Labor. The debating teams were as follows: Women Affimative Dorothy Harmon Alma Buess Evelyn McNeely Affirmative Walter L. Bailey Joseph L.

Helpful and inspiring devotional meetings are conducted every Wednesday evening by the women of the faculty and of the student body. Representatives are rent each year to the State and Geneva Conferences to increase their knowledge of the great work of the Association and to learn better methods of carrying on the work of the local organization. 9 Sixty-six Sp6tiS The Coaching Staff Coach Glenn F. Filley in his first year as mentor of the Purple athletics has won the respect and confidence of the entire student body and the friends of the College. During his four years as a student at Missouri Wesleyan. he played under the direction of Earl A. Davis, whom he succeeded as coach of the Bear Cats a year ago. While in school at Wesleyan. Coach Filley was chosen captain of the All-Conference football team, and also captain of the Varsity track and basketball teams. He coached high school athletics two years at Gr and Island, Nebraska, and last year his track team won the state championship. All through the past season, purple teams have ranked high in the Con- ference and have attained their positions under the direction of our coach who takes a firm stand for clean play and clean athletics. He gets the most from his teams, also. Much of the success of the season is due to the work of John Rogers, who has been assistant coach. Jack has played the game and can tell others how to play it. We are afraid we will lose him next year, but we are sure that some team will profit by his coaching. 19 2 6 Sixty-seven • . ' r,.; , Football Scores CONFERENCE McKendree McKendree . . McKendree . .

However, the squad settled down to hard work and, as the time for the first game drew near, the prospects at the McKendree camp became brighter. The first game of the season was with the strong Knox College eleven who had been runners-up to the Bear Cats in the conference race the previous year. The Siwash handed the Purple their first and only conference defeat in two years. Al- though this defeat cost McKendree the title, it served to put the team in a fighting spirit and no other team in the Little Nine- teen scored against them during the remainder of the season. The next two games were with non-conference teams and, although both were lost, the team displayed a more consistent attack and a stronger defense than before. The Rolla School of Mines, represented by one of the strongest teams ever turned out at that school, showed a powerful scoring machine and won a decisive victory. The following week the Springfield Teachers won a hard game from the Filley-men at Springfield. The Teachers led 7-0 at the end of the third period, then, by taking advantage of the breaks of the game, raised the final score to 19-0. Lincoln College was the first conference foe to fall before the Bear Cats. The Filley-men scored four touchdowns and three tries-for -point to score a 27-0 victory, thus starting the drive which gave them fourth place in the final standings. The gridiron opponent for the Third Annual Home- Coming was the Macomb Normal team. Early in the game the Purple scored on a 60-yard return of a punt. Macomb had plenty of fight and pep, but the Bear Cats played their best game of the season up to that time, scoring 21 points, while they held the Teachers scoreless. Shurtleff College, as was expected had a fast team which offered strong competition at all times. The game was played 1 9 in a sea of mud, and, after taking a 13-0 lead at the half, Mc- Kendree was content to play safe and hold their lead. Coach Omer ' s eleven from Carthage played the last home game of the season which proved a fitting climax. The Purple were striving to keep their record of no defeats in three years on Hupes ' Field intact. The fighting spirit and speed of the Bear Cats proved to balance the weight of the Carthage squad and until the closing minutes of the game the score was dead- locked, 0-0. A drop kick from the 30-yard line in the last two minutes gave McKendree a well-earned victory, 3-0. The final conference tilt of the season was played at Car- bondale with the S. I. N. U. team. Injuries received in the Carthage game weakened the locals and only after a hard fought game were the Teachers beaten 6-0. This game was the fifth straight conference victory for the Bear Cats, during which time they made seventy points while they held their opponents score- less. On Turkey-day the Filley-men journeyed by Fords to Cape Girardeau where they battled to a scoreless tie in a driv- ing rain. Many times the Missourians were forced back and it seemed that the Bear Cats would score, but the wet ball in- variably caused a fumble. The final whistle found the ball in the middle of the field. Since only two of the men receiving letters this year will be lost through graduation, the prospects for a second conference championship next year are bright. With the aid of the veterans who will return to college next fall and a number of freshmen to choose from. Coach Filley will have another formidable ag- gregation out scrambling with the other members of the con- ference for the peak of the final standing. 19 2 6 LLOYD PETTIT. Speed — Captain PATTONSBURG.

Coach Filley placed a fast combination on the floor. Of the sixteen games played during the season, ten were victories for McKendree. Eight of the contests scheduled were with conference teams and five of these games were annexed by the local quintet. The first game of the season was with the team from Scott Field. The aviators failed to be a serious threat at any time during the game. The Purple mentor used three different teams in the contest and tried out several combinations. Concordia Seminary was the next opponent and, due to the fact that several of our basketball men were out for football and not accustomed to the floor, the Lutherans nosed out a 35-30 victory. The Bear Cats were doped to be easy victims, but they soon found their stride and forced the game along at top speed. Three times during the closing minutes of the game the score was tied, but several long shots gave Concordia the heavy end of the score. McKendree defeated the First M. E. Church team of Belle- ville in a listless game the next week. Coach Filley sent four- teen players into the game so that he might get some idea of the combination to be used in the conference games. The Rolla Miners were the next victims of the Bear Cats when McKendree played there the first of a four-game series in Missouri. The Miners played a hard and fast game and were leading 15-14 in the half. McKendree opened with a burst of speed during the last half taking a lead which held their op- ponents for a 26-21 victory. The following night the Bear Cats played the first of two games with the Springfield Teachers. Both teams played stellar ball with the lead changing hands often. In the last half Magill who had been scoring heavily was disqualified, and the Teachers ran wild during the last few minutes to a lead of 43-22 at the end of the game. The second game was dropped to Springfield on the following night by the score of 25-22. An even break on the trip was made when Drury was trounced by the Filley-men 45-21. This game was not as hard 1 9 as was expected because of the failure of Drury to break through the Purple defense. The Lincoln College team was the first conference foe of the Bear Cats, and suffered one of the three reverses they met during the season. Although five reserves went into the game during the last few minutes. Lincoln failed to gain on them. The final result was in favor of McKendree. The game with Shurtleff on the local floor was annexed by the Purple quintet with little trouble. The following week McKendree went to Shurtleff and won the second game from the Pioneers by the score of 29-16. These two victories gave the Bear Cats a good chance for the championship of Southern Illinois which they eventually won. Brown ' s speed and basket- shooting were strong factors in both of these triumphs. A three-game invasion up-state found the Bear Cats in a basket-shooting slump and. although they out-played their op- ponents, they lost all three games. The first game of the trip was dropped to Lincoln. The Railsplitters featured with long shots, and. when the final whistle blew, the Purple were forced to accept defeat. On the night following the defeat at Lincoln. Macomb nosed out a close victory over Coach Filley ' s squad. This game was hard fought and neither team had a safe lead at any time. Jack played a brilliant game and led his team in scoring. The final result was 20-16 in favor of Macomb. After out-playing Carthage during the early part of the game, the Purple five lost, 30-29. The local team had a twelve-point lead at the half, but the jinx would not let them win on the road trip. The losing streak was broken after a thrilling contest with S. I. N. U. It was any one ' s game until the last play when McKendree held to a 26-24 lead. Rolla found Carter and Kostoff too willing to break up an attack when the two teams met the second time, and the Purple administered them a set back of 3 3-10. The final game of the season was with Carbondale. By win- ning it, McKendree won the Southern Illinois title. The Teach- ers proved more invincible than had been expected and only after a hard struggle were the Bear Cats victors by a 23-17 score. 1 9 JOHN ISOM. Wop. Captain CHRISTOPHER. ILL. Although forced out of most of the °ames by an injury received in football. Wop showed his old skill and speed at guard while in the game. He will be ineligible next year since he has already won four letters. Wensel Brown Brownie GRANITE CITY. ILL Eor the second year. Brownie has won a let- ter in basketball. One of the features of the game was his fast floor-work and drib- bling. He was an excellent shot from any part of the floor. Pando Kostoff Pancho GRANITE CITY. ILL. Pando displayed plenty of fight and ability this year to make a regular position at guard. This year he earned his first varsity M. but he- has two more years to play. Charles Jack. Charlie , Captain-Elect. OPDYKE. ILL. Jack made his first letter this year and has two more years at McKendree. He played center on the 1926 team and was always reliable both on defense and offense. 1 9 Seventy-seven Raphael Carter, carterville, ■Ray ' ,L. Ray has played guard on the Bear Cat five for three years. He will gradu- ate this spring. His work on the floor has been consistent and dependable. Mayo Magill Mac GREENVILLE. ILL. Mac is a junior and a three-letter man in basket- ball. His speed and his ac- curate eye for the basket won or him the place of high- point man of the season. Clifton Gould Hurley MT. CARMEL. ILL. Hurley played a fast floor game and was good for points at a critical time. This was his first vear to receive a basketball letter. Lloyd Pettit. Speed PATTONSBURG. MO. Speed is a senior this year. His position was at center where he played a steady, hard game. This was his first M received on the basketball floor. 1 V Seventy-eight Track Review for 1925 Only two dual meets were scheduled for the track squad last year and both proved to be victories for the Bear Cats. A dual meet was held with Shurt- leff, and the local team piled up 91 y points to 38 x i for the Pioneers. The second dual meet was with Ewing College where first honors were annexed by the Purple. In the state meet at Galesburg, Goode broke his own record in the javelin and placed second in the discus throwing. He also carried off second honors with the javelin at the Drake Relays and third at the National Meet in Chicago. Other events at the state meets in which McKendree placed near the top were the pole vault, relay, and 100-yard dash. With seven letter men from last year ' s track squad again in college a successful season is expected during the 1926 season. Baseball Summary For the first time in three years McKendree College had a baseball team last season. Prospects seemed good at first, but a rather disastrous season re- sulted. Although only one game was captured by the Purple baseball team and seven were lost, the members of the squad had the pep and dash which gave their opponents no rest. A team is being organized at the present time and games are being booked with nearby schools. At precent games are scheduled with Eden and Concordia Seminaries.

This is one fact which points to the ever increasing success of this annual event. Competition for the highest honors among the thirty-six high schools of Southern Illinois that were present was very keen. In the track meet Eldorado led victoriously with twenty-four and one-half points, nosing out Staunton by the bare margin of one-half point. Mt. Carmel obtained third place with a total of thirteen and one-half points. Eldorado also won the mile relay in the record-breaking time of three minutes, thirty-six and four-fifths seconds. The following is a list of the events with the winners of each: Shot-put: Breidenstein, Eldorado — 47 feet 7 inches. 220-yard low hurdle: Votaw. Mt. Carmel — 27.4 seconds. Broad jump: H.

In the straight sets of the tennis tournament, Centralia won from Granite City in the finals, and Mascoutah defeated East St. Louis in the singles. Centralia also won the intellectual meet of the Interscholastic with eighteen points while O ' Fallon and Eldorado tied for second and third places with six points each.

There were two hundred and twenty-five students in attendance, but only one hundred and twenty-six were college students. The rest were academic pupils. The students lived in private homes and bought their own wood for fire. They also had to purchase oil for their lamps. The expenses for one year, at that time, amounted to about $2 80 — a high price for that time. Of the class of fifty years ago, nine were graduated from the scientific course. At that time the college offered but two curriculas — the classical and the scientific. The Greek motto of the class is indicative of their age. Translated it means Everything for God. FACULTY Reverend John W. Locke. D. D.. President and Professor of Mental and Moral Philosophy. Reverend Oliver V. Jones. A. M.. Professor of Mat hematics and Astronomy. Samuel H. Deneen. A. M..

The games this year were close and drew large crowds. For the third consecutive year the Class of ' 27 won the tournament when they nosed out the Sophomores by one point. The schedule played during the tournament and the scores are: Freshmen 14 Sophomores 30 Juniors 39 Seniors 17 Sophomores 44 Seniors 15 Juniors 25 Freshmen 19 Seniors 15 Freshmen 19 Juniors 14 Sophomores 13 A scrub tournament composed of eight teams from the student body was also held. This was won by the Tom Cats. a team composed of Lebanon students. The tug-o-war between freshmen and upper-classmen proved to be a de- cided upset. The upper-classmen were strong favorites to pull the Freshies through the pond, but as they were exulting in their apparent victory — some- thing happened and the one hundred and first class dragged the upper-classmen through the pond. Before the end of the year a number of other intra-mural sport events will take place. Among these are the Athletic Carnival, an inter-class track meet, and probably a tennis tournament.

It is the oldest college with a record of continuous operation west of the Alleghany Mountains. Dur- ing the Civil War many colleges were forced to close, but McKendree not only served the educational need but also had a regiment in the Northern Army known as the McKendree Regiment. The present campus consists of twenty acres. Thirty-nine different varieties of trees, some of which are a part of the original forest, offer shade and add to the natural beauty of the place. The College is located in the highest part of Lebanon. There are nine buildings on the campus. Views of six of these buildings are given in the front portion of this annual. Through the generosity of the late Dr. Benjamin Hypes of St. Louis. McKendree has an enclosed athletic field which includes a two hundred and twenty yard straight-a-way, a quarter-mile cinder track, a baseball diamond, and a football gridiron. McKendree confers the degrees of A. B. and B. S. in scholastic work. In conjunction with the college is a splendid Musical Conservatory which confers degrees in either musical theory or public school music. There are four-year courses given in piano, voice, and organ music. The student activities are numerous and varied. There are literary so- cieties for both men and women. The student body is organized and regulates, in the main, the activities of the student body. This organization meets every Friday morning. There are social fraterniti es and other organizations which offer a student nearly all the forms of activity which he may desire. At the next meeting of the North Central Association it is expected that McKendree will be admitted into full membership. This year graduates are to be given North Central standing. McKendree is a B class college, but the entrance of McKendree into this Association will give her graduates a standing which has long been desired. 19 2 6 One Hundred The EXPRESSIONS HEARD ABOUT OUR HALLS Thanks for the buggy ride!
