•enters James Stuart, B. S. Granite Citv, llhnois Here he comes, there he goes, and Jimmie is everywhere. Speedy and active always, this veritable bundle of nerves and activity is constantly in the limelight on the college campus. No introduction is required to know this jolly, good fellow, for with his peppy actions and cheery, radiant smile, the stranger is made to feel he has already met Jimmie. Could any other politi- cian or diplomat possess a more mysterious ability than this ASSOCIATE IN ATHLETICS; REVIEW STAFF; BACHELORS. Paul Hortin, A. Albion, Illinois To he diligent in his duties, consistent in his class work, con- genial with whom he comes in contact, true to his friends, and ar- dent in lo ' e, seem to be the motto of the busiest man on the campus. Persistent in his method and suave in his speech, Paul makes success out of all his undertakings. He is a leader of no mean caliber and a man of his type can always make the best of his opportunities.

Granite City, Illinois Earl is one of the very few among the Centennial graduates who is a natural scientist, devoted to the laws of science and ever search- ing for its marvelous secrets. To him steel is not a cold, lifeless matter, but a living potentiality with a pyramid of possibilities further to benefit mankind. Not a believer in getting his education from one institution. Earl has tasted of the scholastic food at Washington and Chicago Uni- versities. He leaves McKendree an out-and-out McKendrean. PHILO; WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY; CHICAGO UNIVERSITY. Edna Kinsey, A. B. Allamont, Illmois A scribe, an artist, a musician, and a tennis player is this versa- tile Senior. Whether the occasion demands light or serious con- versation, Red admirably adapts herself to the condition. Her ability as an artist won for her the post of art editor of the McKendrean for two years. You were always congenial, Red — we ' ll miss you. ORCHESTRA, ' is. ' 6: CLIO; Y. W. C. A.

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.

Pates, Tiprth Carolina A true son of America, Oxie wisely has taken full advantage of its heritage, especially that in the educational realm. Not only did he obtain his college degree by hard work, wise selection, careful study and persistence, in addition Oxie intends to exalt himself in the noble profession of teaching. In the lighter side of his life, he has shown himself to be right there. Oxie prefers jokes of the apple-pie type, however, he never fails to see the point in the flattest of jokes. CLASS PRESIDENT, ' 16; McKEN- Charles Jack, A. B. Opdyke. lUmois A scramble, a quick grab, a twist, and a long arm reaches up and this dependable basketeer scores another of his thrilling shots. Charley, the backbone of our basketball team, is one of the most popular athletes in McKendree. Fair play is the motto of Charley, who can also boast of having an engaging personality, a bushel of wit and a friendly disposition. To know him is to know a friend good and true. FOOTBALL, ' ifi.

Illmois Swift and dextrous on the tennis court, this tall and handsome young man applied his quick, efficient methods of the tennis court to every task and duty which fell to his lot. In striking contrast, a gentle and kind disposition makes his personality an unusually likable one and has won him many friends. To one young fair co-ed, at least, Willy is just the darlingest thing. Being a man of vitality, his future is very promising. REVIEW, MANAGING EDITOR. 26. ' 27. EDITOR. ' 27: McKENDREE BULLETIN. EDITOR. -26, ' 27; PRESIDENT PLATO; TENNIS, -24.
