Seniors Clifton Gould, B. S. Lebanon, Illinois The captain of our fast basketball squad has shown his i fulness on the athletic field as well as in the parlor. Active as a deer on the gridiron and basketball court, Hurley is as smooth as a dear when Peggy he courts. Versatile as an athlete, he is no less so as a speaker. His smooth, flowing tongue works equally well, whether for an impromptu, to a prospective Fuller Brush customer, or in making love. PLATO; MATH CLUB; FOOTBALL, -14. ' ij.

Conway, Pennsylvania That rare combination of athletic ability and keen intellect is one of the fine attributes of this lovable chap — Joe — in whose veins flows the blood of ancestors from Sunnyland. An indefatigable worker, with an unceasing interest in all stu- dent activities and a smiling way, make Joe a natural leader in whatever he undertakes.

Lebanon, Illinois What girl ' s heart does not thrill when she sees a handsome athlete go forward to bring honors to his Alma Mater and to himself. Peg is no exception, for she was always there when a certain dark-haired Senior was in the fray. Peg will always be remembered when we chance to think of Shakespeare, for she interpreted Rosalind ' s part in As You Like It in a very realistic manner. Vivian Young, A. B. Mdrissa, Illinois For versatility, Viv is without peer. Her convincing person- ality won for her a position on the Debate Team of 26, and also the attentions of a dark-haired McKendrean known as Joe. She is an able impersonator and her readings are always appre- ciated. Her magnetic personality and her ready smile have won for her many friends. ■Tit ' eiit;y-Three

East St. Lotus, lUtnois To he able to head a senior class, it is necessary to possess the best methods of diplomacy, a keen insight into human nature and an irresistible personality. Such is Chick, our class president. His radiant smile, cheerful disposition and friendUness are typ- ical evidence of his true ' Shamrock ancestry. Chick ' is one of the most popular men on the campus and ever dependable in his tasks. A pretty little co-ed seems to be his only weakness or is it his comfort and strength?

Daniel Earl Hussong, A. B. Raxatia, lUinms A pleasing personality enhanced by a rich basso voice, a friendly- smile and a congenial attitude have made Huss one of the pop ' ular men on the campus. Though much of his time seemed to be occupied in the company of his lady fair, he found plenty of opportunities to take a remark- able part in student activities. He would be an asset to any or- ganization in which he might be interested, and with his native ability in song and public speech, Huss will surely make his mark. QUARTET. 24. 25, =6.

Oblong, Illinois Great things often come disguised in small packages, and so it is with Ruth. Her quiet, brown eyes and her merry smile are indeed an index to her serious and humorous nature. Just ask Chick. Anything attempted is that thing accomplished, when Ruth is the one to do it. A true McKendrean and a real friend is this demure member of the Centennial class. VICE-PRESIDENT STUDENT ASSOCIATION, CLIO PRESIDENT. Margaret Teague, B. M. West Frankfort, Illinois Some people are fortunate in being endowed with both beauty and talent. Margaret is a good example of such a combination. With these assets and a magnetic personality, she swept into the arena of her life. Earl Hussong.

cntcrrs LoRiN Mitchell, B. S. Olney, Illinois For excellence in scholastic ability, consistency in applying him- self to his studies, as well as his prominence in student activities in which he participated, Mitch takes his hat off to none. More- over, in school spirit, he ' s unequalled. Mitch, with his easy smile, wavy hair as black as night, and that quality termed the human touch. is one well-liked by both boys and girls. Success to this boy will not come as luck but as a deserved reward. LIGHTIN; McKENDREAN STAFF, -iS; MATH Dale Benner, B. S. East St. Louts, Illinois When looking for Dale around the campus, one is likely to be baffled in his efforts to find him, for he ' s here one moment and gone the next, making himself the most exclusive upper-classman on the hill. The blame, however, lies not on his hut Fate ' s shoulders. Dale has to be exclusive in order to hold a position with the Aluminum Ore Plant in East St. Louis and at the same time attend his classes. He ' s Edison II when it comes to sleep — may he not be also in achievement SHURTLEFF COLLEGE, ' ii. ' 23, ' 2,. GoLDA Taylor, A. B. Lebanon, Illinois In everyone ' s make-up there is both strength and weakness. Golda ' s most pronounced specimen of the latter is man, which she seriously tries to analyze. The object of her study is none other than Lorin Mitchell. By her Alpha Psi Omega pin, we know that Golda may well apply the following poem to herself: Breathes there a woman with soul so dead. Who never to herself hath said, ' I know that I can act ' . ALPHA PSI ASS0C:iAT10 lEC SECRETARY-TREASURER STUDENT Ray Bass, A. B. Eldorado, Illinois When Ray came to McKendree from Carbondale University, he cast his lot with the adventures of the matrimonial voyage. As a consequence, a McKendree co-ed has not only been his assistant pastor ever since, but also the fountain whence his wisdom pours forth. Aspiring to a bishopry, the presidency of a large educational institution, or at least to the pastorate of a large edifice of worship, Ray is guided by the highest ambition and loftiest ideals in thought and deeds.
