Wot JflcHenbrean of Jlitteteen Jj unbret ana €toentp=J2ine Publishes b tljr 3Iuuior Cl.iss of JflcHenbree College Lebanon, ill. Jforetoorb On these pages which follow we have attempted to collect those bits of school life which we hope you will in after years re- call with much pleasure and de- light. If some things recorded here make you wish for those old days again, and some things make you laugh because of their absurdities; if in short, we have succeeded in making this a veri- table memory book of 1929, we are satisfied. Bebtcaticm This, our 1929 McKendrean, we dedicate to that indefinable atmos- phere that down through the years has continually lived, not only on the campus but also in the hearts of all true McKendreans — that noble sentiment which binds our hearts to our Alma Mater and lures the alumni back to old Mc- Kendree — that indescribable, un- explainable something which en- riches our lives and makes us loyal to that which is best — that beauti- ful McKendree Spirit. ©rber of 2Book$ THE COLLEGE CLASSES ACTIVITIES FEATURES Faculty Adviser— — -MlSS AlLEEN WILSON Editor-in-chief—. ....

Dr. Cameron Harmon, A.B., D.D. President EDWIN P. BAKER, A.B.. A.M., LL.D., DEAN German Dr. Harmon needs no introduc- tion to either students or friends of the school. He is known wherever McKendree is known. Last year he was honored by being elected district Rotary Governor and this position with its necessary travel has enabled him to carry the name of the school to still wider fields than before. Prexie, through a busy man has a cheering word for everyone he meets and is always ready to receive the confidences of the students, and to ex- tend to them judicious advice when- ever needed. Dr. Harmon, an ex- athlete is thoroughly interested in athletics and has assisted greatly in building up strong teams which Mc- Kendree has furnished. Dr. Harmon, a true son of Illinois, is one of Mc- Kendree ' s greatest assets. The mainstay of the administra- tion department is our highly es- teemed dean, who is an efficient executive as well as a cordial friend of the student body. He is the com- mander of the German forces at Mc- Kendree and his drills have become famous on the campus. Dean Baker is an enthusiastic supporter of all that bespeaks progress for the school and his decisions in matters of importance bear that touch of sincerity and rea- soning so characteristic of him. His office is always filled with persons desiring his counsel, but despite the cares of his position, he still main- tains his cheerful philosophy of life.

ROSCOE BUSH The Student Association consists of all regularly enrolled students at McKendree. The Association has its official meeting each Friday at chapel time, when matters pertaining to student life are discussed and interesting pro- grams are presented. The chief events falling under the jurisdiction of this august body are Homecoming and Interscholastic programs, and other affairs more intimately related to McKendree ' s student activities. Eighteen MRS. MINNIE PHILLIPS Mrs. Phillips, our House Mother and Institutional Manager, in her four years ' stay on our campus has made for herself the reputation of an efficient and dependable woman. She is never too busy to undertake whatever task faces her. In spite of her business-like qualities, she has a keen sense of humor which has made for her numbers of friends. MRS. ROSE EMERSON The boys of Carnegie Hall now have a mother. She came as a New Year ' s present and although she has been with us only six months, she is now a necessary part of the institu- tion. Carnegie Hall, so long dubbed The Mule Barn, has received the touch of a woman ' s hand and is to- day a more attractive home than it ever has been. Mother Emerson is liked by all, and her genial spirit has pervaded the entire campus. Con- gratulations on your work, Mrs. Emerson. MISS VERA HERRING Our dean of women is no new fig- ure on the campus, as she was here for a short time last year. She comes to us from Missouri Wesleyan, where she served as dean of women, acquit- ting herself very favorably. Miss Herring is quite versatile, devoting part of her time to her duties as li- brarian and serving in her official capacity as dean. Twenty Jfacultp STepHEl o - Willi am Clarence Walton, D. D.

Clay City, 111. helors: Debate ' 29; Tr.ick; Footba Mary Hughes, A. Robinson, 111. Clio: President Glee CI Adequate commendation cannot be given to Watt, the tall blond from Clay City. Loy comes from a fam- ily of great men and he has already achieved certain heights which form for him an enviable record. He is the president of the senior class, an active Platonian, a true Bachelor, a debater, and an athlete as well. He frequently loses the discus and this year won his letter in football. As a student Loy is also a star, for his grades reveal the reward of persistent and diligent study. He has given his best to the school and will always be a worthy alumnus. Just remember the girl with the friendly smile and greeting for every- one and you have Mary. She is very versatile and her activities cover al- most every phase of college life. Cli- onians will remember her as an in- terested spectator and willing per- former. She served as president of this organization when she acquitted herself very favorably. Mary is a loyal backer of all worthy McKen- drean activities and is, by the way, the leader of our next year ' s football captain. She is a prospective teacher and her personality is a sure indica- tion of her success. Twenty-eight Harold Culver. A. Galatia. 111. Dorothy Helen Ikemire. A. B. Louisville. 111. ■M Club; Tr. Happy-go-lucky Culver; did any- thing ever worry him. ' ' Have you ever seen him excited or irritated? Well, neither have we. Harold stars in all phases of school activity. He is captain of the basketball team and excels as a hurdler in track. What would a public function be without Culver and Nichols? That deep bass voice is famous and holds audiences in rapture, whether the composition being sung is the latest popular num- ber or a negro spiritual. He por- trayed Romeo in the play given last February when he proved to be an ardent lover and a capable actor. Harold has passed the six-foot mark and we know with this reach and the qualifications which he possesses that he will hold high the banner of the class of ' 29. The almost Puritanical calmness and conscientiousness of Dorothy Helen is relieved now and then by a manifestation of her gentle and kind- ly sense of humor. Uproariousness and Dorothy Helen are complete strangers. Her love of music, par- ticularly the expression of music- through the medium of the piano, rounds out her daily routine of study and the performance of the usual every-day tasks of the student. She not only appreciates the music pro- duced by others — she, too, is able to entertain delightfully in a musical way. Her willingness to help is dem- onstrated in the library, where she ex- hibits her efficiency. Twenty-nifit: Charles Nichols, A. Lebanon, 111. lent Pi Kappa Delta: ' 27. 28. ' 29; Bascb Club; Alpha Mu ( Did you ever see such a public speaker as McK. has in Charlie. ' ' We are justly proud of him. There is scarcely a campus activity in which he is not the star number. How well do we remember the serenades of Cul- ver and Nichols with their uke and guitar. Charlie, no doubt, also re- members the result of the jealousy of other boys because they couldn ' t woo their fair ones through the aesthetic sense, for they threw the musician into the pond. Always cheerful with a ready story, he is an entertaining companion. Proof of this lies in the disappearance of his Alpha Mu pin. He is our representative in the law profession of the future. Helene Ferrell, A. B. Xcnia. 111. csident Clark Hall ' 28; V. W. C. A. Edu Club Helene is another P. K. of which the group may well be proud. Being a preacher ' s kid hasn ' t hurt Helene any. She is an active Clionian and has done her bit toward making the Y. W. C. A. what it is. Besides be- ing a c onscientious student, she is a good sport and a cheerful friend. She sings in the glee club and is an inter- ested member of the Education Club. This year Helene was elected to the presidency of Clark Hall and showed her executive ability in directing the annual Christmas Bazaar. She is in the formative stage of being a school teacher. We have no fears for your future, Helene. Thirty Ed, Center Editor Bachel Erwin Hake. A. Nashville, 111. lief McKcndrean ' 20; nnual ' 28; President dree Teachers ' Bulletin rnegie Hall Council. Mae Goddard. A. I West Frankfort. 111. Meet our Editor-in-Chief. A genial leader, with an unusually cheerful disposition, a remarkable executive ability, and an unassuming personality is Hake. These traits so characteristic of him are evident in his work as president of the Educa- tion Club, and his activities in the Platonian Literary Society. His sin- cere purpose and worthy a:hieve- ments make for him a pla:e at the top in the ranks of the best students on our campus. The Bachelors, too, saw fit to give him a place in their exclusive circle during his first year in our midst. Success is waiting just around the corner for him and we know he is not far from the corner. Y. V. C A. Cabinet 192? Psi Omega; Women ' s Debate French Club; As You Like It Mae ' s panacea for worry and the blues is Laugh it off. She agrees with the philosophy of the song- writer who wrote, What ' s the use cf worryin ' ? It never was worth while, and she does her best to help others get rid of their low spirits in the same manner. Mae takes a lively interest in all outside activities in which she is engaged. The field in which she is particularly apt is that of public speaking and oral inter- pretation. Who can forget her dec- lamations or her impersonation of Touchstone in As You Like It . ? As for argumentation — that Mae ' s favorite indoor sport. We wish she could have found time for debate work a little earlier in her career. Thirty-one A Jtt Stephen Alan Kole. A. B.

He stars in all phases of school activities from early fall until late spring. On the foot- ball field and in track his speed and athletic technique stand out predom- inantly. Scholastic excellence is an- other of his characteristics. He is an active Platonian and Bachelor despite the fact that he must keep the home fires burning, for he is comparatively a newly-wed in our midst. Steve has served as assistant coach this year and has shown his coaching skill to a de- cided advantage. To many his new name as given above may seem strange, but what ' s in a name? Any- way, he ' s Steve to us. ing her entire four years at McKen- dree she has always been an enthusi- astic worker in everything that has been for the good of the school. In her senior year, desiring to put every- thing into the home stretch, she took her pens and pencils to live out with the Lebanonites. She was one of the best Y. W. C. A. presidents that we ' ve ever had and that ' s saying a let. Whether she was needed as a fortune teller or to train the vaude- ville chorus-girls, Julia was there with all her enthusiasm and energy. We will miss her gay little gurgle and stick-to-it-iveness next year. She is not only a real sport, but a good student as well. Thirty-two Ray Goode, A. Sapulpa, Okla Alpha Mrs. Cecile Archibald, A. Lebanon, 111. ication Club: Ozark Wesleyan; Beta ; Ser Lea Ray has already set out on the journey of life, completing his work here with us last semester. Tall and built like a giant, with a friendly dis- position, he has made his way in col- lege activities. He shines most in athletics and we just can ' t say enough about that. He has broken the Illinois state record for the javelin throw four times and last year he was considered one of the outstanding spear-tossers in the coun- try. He missed making the Olympic team by a narrow margin. He ex- celled in the discus throw and shot put, and altogether he has won nine letters. Meek is the lady who came to be graduated with us this year. We have found out that she ' s a ready worker and an efficiency expert in all scholastic endeavors. She not only brought herself to toil and worry with us, but she brought the genial Mr. Archibald as well. Because of her sympathetic understanding of the problems of life she will be a success, we are sure, in teaching, or in any other chosen field of work. Stranger that she was last September, she has won her way into our hearts and is a decided asset to the senior class. Thirty-three Thomas Perkins, A. B. West Point, Miss. [all: Track ' 27. ' 28, ' 29; Cap- lto; Bachelors; M Club: Mc- StarT ' 2 7; Student Associate in Vera Smith, A. Albion. 111. ; French Club: Educa . W. C. A.; Secretar) resident Clio; Debate Who could ever forget Perk — that inimitable man of action? He plays stellar roles in football, track — in fact, he is at ease in any environ- ment. Tom plays the piano, too, but that isn ' t the only way in which he makes noise. He is a Bachelor, but that fraternal allegiance does not pre- vent him from shyly expressing his preference for a certain member of the fair sex. Perk hails from the sunny South and he seems to have brought with him the characteristic Missis- sippi disposition which has, in the last four years, become famous on McKendree ' s campus. One would never suspect, from the above likeness, that Vera is usually thought of by those with whom she is not very well acquainted, as a very serious-minded and demure little lass. However, this picture is a true rep- resentation of her as her friends know her; as she might look, for instance, after having invented a new and par- ticularly fitting nickname for one of her fellow-sufferers, or after she has heard a good one on one of the students. Don ' t think, though, that Vera has no serious moments. She has. One glance through her list of student activities, or over her grade sheet, should be enough to convince anyone of that fact. Vera has one weakness that we know of — it is for red hair. Thirty-four (H A uU Val Baggott, Zeigler, 111. Club; Football Val, the curly-headed man from Zeigler, has a bent for science. As everyone knows, science is a hard taskmaster and brains are the neces- sary starting point. Cheerful and ready to tell all kinds of funny stor- ies, he approaches with a friendly slap on the back. Besides books, the athletic field has a big attraction for him. On the football field Val proves his stability as a guard and in track, sprinting is his specialty. As a relay man he is perfectly at home. May he realize his ambitions in the race of life. Audrey Bower, A. B. Newton, 111. G ' ee Club. Bohemian Gij.l. Debate ' 28, Pi Kappa Delta ' 28. ' 20. Pres. Clio. Y. W. C. A. Cabinet ' 29. Newton sent us this jolly care-free senior. We are sure that the town must be a great deal sadder since she left, for there never was a girl who could put more cheer into a group than can Audrey. When that char- acteristic ripple of laughter breaks forth, one knows that she is near and in her usual good humor. Her motto is: Once a friend — always a friend, and a true friend she is. Freshmen coming to school instinctively turn to her for advice and comfort. Her favorite quotation is, All is well — and certainly that is her outlook on life. Thirty-five Hubert Hurley, A. B. Caseyville, 111. Oxford Club: Asbury College. Hubert, one of our student pastors, comes to us from Asbury College. Just before coming to McKendree, he cast his lot with the adventurers on the matrimonial voyage. While Hu- bert is very seldom seen or heard around McKendree ' s campus, if you should journey to the little city of Caseyville, you will find him very ac- tive there as pastor of the Methodist Church. We wish to commend Hur- ley on his choice of a school from which to take his degree. Such men as Hurley are always desirable stu- dents on McKendree ' s campus and become worthy alumni. He is a very conscientious and earnest work- er and guided as he is by high ambi- tion and the inspiration of his wife, success surely awaits him. Belle Pfennighausen, A. B. Maplewood, Mo. Debate -27. 28. Y. W. C. A. Cabi tary Pi Kappa Dell McKendrean Staff Club. Belle, although she comes from our sister state, Missouri, has come to be one of us during her four years ' stay with us. She has been loyal to the Glee Club through all four years and her uke is simply a part of Belle. Two successive years as cap- tain of one of our woman ' s debate teams has established her ability in the line of forensics. She ' s an athlete, too, in spite of her size, and is never too busy to back McKendree ' s athletic teams — winning or losing. She has plenty of school spirit and we ' ll remember Belle as a loyal McKendrean. JUX - Thirty-six P lX Lee Baker. B. S. Lebanon, 111. Philo; Math. Club; McKendrean Staff ' 27; Physics Assistant. Lec is the studious member of the senior class and disdains grades below A. He likes his books, but he always has time to match wits with anyone ambitious enough to take the risk. No one ever enjoyed a hearty laugh more than he. Lee is a worthy mem- ber of every organization to which he belongs, for he never does things half-way. Philo will long remember his witty speeches and brilliant es- says. Lee seems to have only two weaknesses — Beauty Baker and red hair. McKendreans know that the word failure is not in his vocabu- lary. John Oster, A. Mascoutah, 111. Review ' 27. ' 28. ' 29: ' 26. McKcndr Editor ' 29; Pre ;sident Bachelor ' 29: Capta Staff ' 28; Edu All that ' s gold does not always glitter. The air of sobriety which surrounds John in the Review office and in the library is a missing entity when he bursts forth in all his elo- quence on Philo floor. This year he has more time to devote to the pub- lic need, for heretofore his chief pleasure has been the approval of a fair one of the hill. Did he succeed? It appears so, and by the way, he goes to Belleville every week-end. He reminds one of the cream, always rising to the top, whether it be in baseball, Philo, or the Bachelors. John, always do your best, as you have here at McKendree. Thirty-seven Jay Hinchcliffe, A. Superintendent of Schools, O ' Fallon, III. The most pompous and experienced man in our class is Mr. Hinchcliffe. Although he has not been attending classes with us, he has completed his regular college program by doing evening work under the direction of the faculty. Mr. Hinchcliffe is superintendent of the O ' Fallon Public Schools and holds a high position among the educators of southern Illinois. Persevering by nature and filled with an ambition to attain greater heights, for which he has long striven and at last achieved. Our classmate, while not in intimate association with us, has become a friend of all and is a genial companion to all who know him.

The dress parade, which usually continues throughout one day, always precedes an important event, as an athletic contest or some other school activity. This year the occasion inaugurated Homecoming Day which, despite the inclement weather, proved to be a success. On Hobo Day everyone not dressing in accord with the dictates of fashion is, temporarily at least, a social outcast. This year the girls of Clark Hall, not to be outdone, became Hobelles for the evening and formed an appropriate climax to the day of jollity. Professors tolerate the antics of the Hoboes, even in classes, knowing that the show is but an expression of energy which youth cannot contain. Hobo Day at McKendree received unusual distinction this year in that the above picture was taken to commemorate the occasion. The photograph appeared in a St. Louis newspaper and aroused much comment and interest. Hcttotto Wt wities STe?h£H Tedo rgam?atton£ HHHHHHI r office: THE n KESDREE Review . - v y ■ ?

The aim of this organization is to encourage inter-collegiate forensic relations as well as to develop the art of public speaking and argumentation. Intellectual, rather than social activities receive the greatest stress. Pi Kappa Delta is open to both men and women of the college who qualify for admission. This year sixteen new members were received which is a decided increase over any previous period. The social event of the year is an elaborate banquet held in the spring, at which time faculty members and students enjoy a social evening and recall memories of debating days.

GRACE RENNER Sfa e Manager Mae Goddard Business Manager NlNA MAE HARMON MEMBERS Faculty Student Miss Harper Orena Mowe Harold Yerkes Miss McNeeley Ouida Kole Lorin Douthit Stephen Kole Alpha Psi Omega is a national honorary dramatic fraternity in which membership is granted for outstanding work in dramatic productions. Alpha Theta cast was installed at McKendree College in 1927 with sixteen charter members. Although only three faculty and three student members returned in the fall of 1928, five new members soon qualified and were admitted in the early spring of 1 929. The organization has inspired much interest in dramatics at McKendree so that the dramatic department, under the supervision of Miss Olive Patmore, has been able to accomplish much in the sphere of dramatic productions and the purchase of new stage fixtures. Alpha Psi Omega holds its standards high and its purposes worthy, thereby making membership an honor which is eagerly sought. Each year the cast holds an elaborate social function in the spring, at which time many of the former members return and enjoy recollections of former days. This and the production of Romeo and Juliet are the outstanding events of Alpha Psi Omega ' s second year at McKendree. There has been a frequent demand at various entertainments for one-act plays which are staged by the class in Play Production throughout the year. Sixty-seven Sigma ILeta OFFICERS Chapter President—. _ Zella M. MALANDRONE Recorder-Treasurer-... Dr. .C. J. Stowell Sigma Zeta. while one of McKendree ' s smallest organizations, is by no means of minor significance. The society was founded for the promotion and recognition of scholarship among undergraduate students in the sciences and mathematics. The Beta Chapter established at McKendree College in 1927. while the second oldest group chartered in the entire organization, has never had a large membership, due, in part at least, to the high standard of work de- manded of candidates. Membership consists solely of senior college students majoring in the sciences and members of the faculty interested in those particular fields. Within the past few years, several new chapters have been organized throughout the middle west and Sigma Zeta promises to become, some day, a fraternity of a national distinction.

A. has been co-operating with the Y. W. C. A. to a great extent this year in the way of mixers and the Lyceum Courses. The Faculty Advisors, Professors Walton, Kinison, and Garvin, have been a great help in promoting great interest in the devotional meetings. Projects among the students are also on the program of this group of young men. Seventy Y. W. C.

It is organized to help the women of the campus to live full and creative lives. The work of the Y.

The Christmas tree that was decorated on the front campus was placed there by the Y. W. The lyceum course is advertised by the two Y ' s that are on the campus. Social, as well as spiritual, development is the aim of this association and it is accomplished by the co-operation of the two societies. Seventy-one Oxford Club OFFICERS President HUGH ARCHIBALD Vice-President. .. ERNEST CRISSMAN Secretary-Treasurer- ... CLARK Lee ALLEN Ministerial students and faculty members compose this organization which was organized in 1920 by Dr. W. N. Sterns. It was reorganized in 1926 by Dr. J. W. A. Kinison and has continued as one of the active organizations of the hill up to the present time. Among its members we find nine active pastors: Clark Lee Allen serves Glen Carbon: G. W. Hines is at Huey: Lewis N. Head holds down St. Jacob: Dale Hagler goes to Livingston and Fairview: Fred Mery holds sway at Shattuc; John W. Montgomery leads the flock at East Granite: Wilfred A. Pemberton rides to Troy and Zion; Hubert Hurley preaches at Caseyville; Hugh Archibald is at Pissa and Fidelity and Professor W. B. Garvin at Brighton. Besides contributing to the various school activities throughout the school year the Club holds regular meetings every two weeks in which talks are enjoyed and vital problems of the minister are brought up and discussed. Many prac- tical helps are secured from these meetings. Seventy-two The Nature Club Founded in 1926 by Dr. E. R. Spen:cr OFFICERS President- ... BERNICE PARRISH Vice-President G. W. HlNES Secretary-Treasurer— MYRTLE DRESSLER Few clubs on College Hill show the direct results of their activities more than does the Nature Club which was founded by Dr. E. R. Spencer in 1926. Since its organization at that time, under the leadership of Dr. Spencer, this club has been one of the most active on the campus. Its chief aims are: the sponsoring of nature study, bird study, stellar ob- servation and beautification of the college campus. Much has been accomplished during the past year in beautifying our campus. Shrubbery has been planted, flower beds made, trees pruned and leaves raked from the grounds. The club meets each Wednesday evening at eight P. M. Here the problems of beautifying the campus are discussed, papers on nature subjects read, readings pertaining to nature given, and slides shown on interesting nature subjects, such as pictures of heavenly bodies or national park scenes. This year there are about thirty students of the college who are members of this society, as well as several faculty members. Seventy-three The Education Club Founded in 1928 OFFICERS 1st Semester 2nd Semester ERWIN HAKE .... . President PAULINE BROOKS Pauline Brooks.— .—Vice-President.— Erwin Hake Dorothy H. Ikemire — —Secretary -Treasurer Mary Hughes The Education Club is one of the largest organizations on the campus. This is the first year of its existence. Its organization was the result of the efforts of Professor Garvin, the head of the Education Department. Its pur- poses are: to acquaint prospective teachers with the practical problems of the profession, and to help them to solve those problems efficiently; and to sponsor the publication of the teachers ' bulletin. The bulletin will be instrumental, under the supervision of Professor Garvin, in the placing of those students who are preparing for the teaching profession into suitable positions. The Club meets bi-weekly for business and social purposes and is certainly filling a long-felt need on our campus. The first semester the organization acted as host to the members of the Extension Course in Education given by Professor Garvin in Carlyle, Illinois. The second semester the Club was the means of bringing Superintendent Frohardt, of Granite City, to present a very helpful address to those who ex- pect to teach. Although the Club is in its infancy, we see it as an organization rich in possibilities. Seventy-foe French Club President GRACE RENNER Program Manager MARY EATON Secretary and Treasurer . LAURA Yargar Under the supervision of Miss Parker, head of the Romance Language Department, the French Club of McKendree College was organized this year. The purpose of this organization is to increase the facility of the intermediate and advanced students in the speaking of the French language. With this ob- jective in view, no English is allowed during any regular Club meeting. The meetings are held regularly bi-weekly at various places. The Club is divided into three sections, each of which with the assistance of the program manager, takes charge of the programs in their respective order. La Marseillaise and various French folk-songs, essays on eminent French men and women, im- portant historical events and French games and riddles find their way into the very interesting programs. That benefits both from social and educational standpoints are derived from the organization, is indicated by the interest of the members in the work of the Club.

The purpose of the Societas Classica is to promote an active and organized interest in the Greek and Latin classics. The organization has a good start and will continue to grow under the capable and interesting leadership of Professor J. C. Dolley. A pin has been selected to represent the club, of which it is very proud. The activities of the new society will undoubtedly build up and create new interests in the fascinat- ing ancient languages Seventy-si Jjj iJ ■ j 9 Although the personnel of the faculty has undergone a change this yeaV the Fine Arts department of McKendree College has maintained its usual high standards. The School of Music offers a four-year course in piano, organ, violin, and voice leading to the degree of Bachelor of Music. An unusually large num- ber of advanced students are enrolled this year in this department. Six students were graduated this year from the department cf Public School Music after completing the two-year course in that work. The quality of work coming out cf this department proclaims the high worth of the instructor, Miss Pauline Harper. A number of students take advantage of the educational opportunities presented by the orchestra, band, glee clubs, quartettes, etc. These organiza- tions creditably represent McKendree whenever the occasion arises for such programs as are included in their repertoire. Miss Martha Schmucker is the director of the glee clubs and quartettes. Mr. Eugene Schaefer is the efficient director of the band and orchestra as well as instructor in violin. Professor Kruwell is the instructor in piano and organ. The Expression Department has been unusually successful under the direc- tion of Miss Olive Patmore. This year, for the first time in the history of McKendree College, a four-year course leading to the degree cf Bachelor of Arts was offered. The department presented, very successfully, Shakespeare ' s Romeo and Juliet in February, and the class in Play Production presented a very interesting program of one-act plays in the Spring. The faculty of the School of Fine Arts consists of the following: MAX KRUWELL .

Captain; Wilma Nell Land. Mary Eaton, Vera Smith (alternate) Eighty -seven Oratory and Extemporaneous Speaking Oratory is not merely literature. It is not a matter of moving the arms or the lips or the eyes or even the eyebrows — but of moving the audience. Oratory is the art of bringing ideas to white heat and then letting them loose among men through the immediate agency of the most powerful stimulus known to man — personality. Work in this great art has gained recognition and grown in popularity on McKendree ' s campus during the past year. When the call was given for orators in the fall several responded and as a result of a very closely contested preliminary Lewis N. Head and Mrs. Ouida Kole, both sophomores, were chosen to represent McKendree in the various contests of the season. Mr. Head in his oration had a very convincing plea for world-peace, using as his subject The Unfinished Task and America ' s Responsibility. Mrs. Kole spoke in behalf of The American College Student. On February 14th and 15th McKendree had the honor of being host to the Illinois Intercollegiate Oratorical Association. In this contest, which was won by Monmouth College, were found some of the strongest orators of the state. McKendree has the president of this association for the ensuing year. Our school was also represented in the Southern Illinois and Southeast Missouri Oratorical Association held at Cape Girardeau. The crowning achievement in the art of oratory came in the spring when it was announced that Mr. W. R. Dorris of OFallon endowed, in memory of his mother, Harriet E. Dorris, a fund for an intra-mural oratorical contest to be held on June 6, 1929. The prizes to be awarded are $50, $30, and $20 for winners of first, second and third places, respectively. This contest, which is to be an annual event at commencement time, is open to all regular college students. There must, however, be not less than four contestants, and the winner of first place will net be eligible for competition in future years. In the field of Extemporaneous Speaking. Clark Lee Allen and Mrs. Ouida Kole were victorious in the preliminaries, and as a result represented the school in the different meets. The subject for the men ' s speech was. The Over- population of American Colleges, and for the women, The Influence of Invention on International Relations. With the increasing interest in this forensic work both oratory and extem- poraneous speaking should occupy a very prominent place among McKendree ' s extra-curricular activities for the next vear. Eighty-eight Alettes! The M Club OFFICERS President ,.... IDRIS CORNWELL Vice-President ... ELI TATALOVICH Secretary and Treasurer EDWARD SHADOWEN Glenn F. Filley Ccach Glen F. Filley holds an enviable position in the hearts of all true McKendreans. His staunch stand for true sportsmanship at any cost has been a major factor in his success at McKendree and has gained for him the respect and admiration of all who come in contact with him. There has never been anything other than clean American sportsmanship displayed by any team which he has coached. Filley came to us from Missouri Wesleyan where his records as an athlete speak for themselves. While at the Missouri school his ability as a football man gained for him the selection as all-state end. During his four years at McKendree Coach Filley has turned out football, basketball and track teams that have rated high in the Little Nineteen Conference. Ninety Football Squad of 1929 Stephen Kole After four years of active participation in athletics Steve has become a very important cog in the direction of sports at McKendree. For three years Kole won the Purple M, earning his letter in three major sports. His speed in the backfield wen for him the name of the Edwardsville Flash on the gridiron, and this same speed was available in the spring on the track. In baseball Steve ranked with the best Purple fly-chasers. Under his coaching this year the second basketball squad lost only one game and defeated some of the best independent teams in this section of the state. He now has full charge of a very promising baseball squad. Assistant Coach Ninety-one EDWARD SHADOWEN, Captain Quarterback Christopher, Illinois Earning his third varsity M. Captain Shadowen played his usual steady, but aggressive brand of football. His ability in rifling passes, receiving passes and his tactful signal calling, wen for him an en- viable place in McKendree athletics. Eddie has another year of football before him. FOOTBALL SUMMARY The Purple grid squad of 1928 faced a more formidable array of opponents than any football team in the historv of McKendree athletics. The Bear Cats were in action ten times during the fall and five of these games were on the right side of the sport ' s ledger. The five reverses were by some of the strongest teams in Illinois and Missouri. 1DRIS CORNWELL, Captain-Elect Fullback Springfield, Illinois Cornwell presents a triple threat to all opponents. A punter de luxe, an able passer, a deadly line- plunger, made Dudes poison to the enemy. Above all, this fullback has won the respect of his team mates, which should prove a valuable asset to the captain of the Purple for 1929. Ninety-two VAL BAGGOTT Backfield-Guard Zeigler, Illinois This versatile athlete was an important addition to the grid squad. Beginning the season in the back- field in a capable manner, Val finished the season en the line with even higher honors. A true fighter in every sense of the word. The Filleymen inaugurated the grid season at Springfield, Missouri, where they faced the Southwestern State Teachers ' College. By circling ends for long gains, the Springfield Bears downed the Purple by the rather decisive score of 26-0. LOY WATTLES End Clay City. Illinois Watt earned his first football letter at the end position, where he performed in a capable manner. Severely handicapped by injuries, Watt fought that much harder, which accounted for the little ground gaining around his side of the line. ft jl falfifll ■ Ninetu-three Thomas Perkins quarterback West Point, Miss. Perk turned his track ability to the football cause and in his senior year won his M in the fall sport. His shrewd selection of signals and his fleetness of foot made him a worthy addition to the Purple backfield. His wcrk was especially bril- liant in the Scott Field game, in which he directed the team in a praiseworthy fashion. The first real indication of the strength of the Purple came on the follow- ing Saturday when the men of Filley met the strong St. Louis University Billikens. Although doped to lose by five touchdowns, the Bear Cats held the Blue and White to a single touchdown, which was scored late in the second period. The McKendree line, and especially Koch, gave a splendid account of itself. Eli Tatalovich HALEBACK Christopher, 111. Eli more than fulfilled expectations. This athlete was a back difficult to equal on the defense, while he was an important cog in the running attack. His work was prominent during the en- tire season, and especially outstanding in the Lincoln game. Ninety-four BOVARD CLAYTON End Vienna, Illinois Slim ' s six -foot -four altitude made this southern Illinois lad a real end. On the defense Clayton was unusually brilliant. Slim was also a lineman who broke into the scoring column by picking up a fumble in the Scott Field battle and going over for the counter. Evansville College of Evansville, Indiana, proved to be the first victims of the Methodists, when they were downed en their own field by a score of 20-13. The McKendree backfield gave its first exhibition of a smooth- working offense. Led by Captain Shadcwen and Sarple, the Purple rounded the ends, hit the line and passed to their first victory of the season. CHLORUS HUBBLE Tackle Flora, Illinois Fuzzy, tipping the scales at one hundred and ninety pounds, was an outstanding performer on the Purple line. He was equally as good on offense as defense. His fast thinking accounted for his scoring two touchdowns for the Filleymen during the campaign. ,li Ninety -Hi GEORGE KOCH Tackle Belleville, Illinois Koch was the outstanding lineman during the past season. Weighing over two hundred pounds, this Belleville youth made hole after hole in the enemy line, paving the way for the Purple backs. His con- sistent brilliant performance won for him a place on the second All-State Team. The mighty Rolla Miners presented the Bear Cats with their third defeat of the year by trouncing the Filleymen at Rolla to the tune of 19-0. Koch and Sarple again stood out in stellar roles. HAROLD KAESAR Halfback Belleville, Illinois Whitey won his second M on the gridiron by displaying real college football. His lightness in weight proved to be an asset rather than a lia- bility to him. A deadly tackier, a wonderful blocker and a genius at snaring passes made Kaesar a real backfield star. Ninety-mji BRUCE FIEGENBAUM Tackle Edwardsville, Illinois Early season injuries kept Fiegenbaum on the side- lines until mid-season. Then Fiege displayed his wares in splendid style Although light in weight he was a heavy burden to the enemy. His character- istic ability in stepping would-be ground gainers was especially pronounced. The third invasion into Missouri territory was the most disastrous game of the year and the worst defeat in many years. Using all known tactics in offen- sive football, the Kirksville Osteopaths defeated the Bears by the overwhelming score of 47-0. Sarple ' s forty-five yard run was the only bright light in the otherwise drab day. LEONARD ISLEY End Newton, Illinois Although handicapped throughout the season by injuries, Isley won his second football M. On both defense and offense, this six-foot athlete played the end position as it should have been played. His rare ability in blocking and tackling was an out- standing factor in almost every game. Ninety-seven CORWIN WATKINS Center Cairo, Illinois Tony won his football M by giving all he had on the gridiron. This former Purdue lad was a fast charger in spite of his weight. He was also a drop-kicker of real ability, booting the oval through the bars for six counters in one game. The Purple entered its first Little 19 tilt against Lincoln on the foreign field. Led by Tatalovich, the Filleymen completely mauled the Railsplitters, 31-0. Tatalovich, Captain Shadowen, Church, and Sarple, proved to be very troublesome to the Lincoln crew. ALONZO PITCHFORD Center Fairfield, Illinois Coming from Southern Illinois Normal University to McKendree, Pitchford brought all of his football ability. A good defensive man, coupled with per- fect passing ability, was responsible for Pitchford ' s great showing at center. He will perform two more years for the Purple. Ninety-eight JOHN BARBAGLIA Guard Herrin, Illinois Big John earned a berth on the line in his fresh- man year by exhibiting real football. With the true Herrin spirit he turned back many a thrust at the McKendree line. Despite his two hundred and six pounds. Big John broke through the enemy line many times throwing backs for losses. A real line prospect for 1 929. Revenge was indeed sweet on Homecoming Day when Shurtleff, the tradi- tional foe, was defeated. Playing in a sea of mud, neither team could make any headway. However, late in the third quarter, Hubbell, who had been in a stellar role all day, broke through the Pioneer line to block a punt and fall on it for the decisive score. Again the McKendree line was the major factor in the victory. ARTHUR HORTIN Tackle Albion, Illinois Art was another member of the Hortin family to become a distinguished McKendrean. Art ' s hobby happened to be football, and he was an im- portant member of the 1928 football machine. His characteristic voice did much to bolster up the Purple morale. Ninety-nine WILLIAM SAUNDERS Guard Xenia, Illinois Bud, of track fame, performed equally well on the football field. His clear thinking, hard tackling, and speed made him a valuable man to the squad. Determination was a major factor in his success. Bud is only a freshman. Flat River was completely routed on the following Saturday, 48-0. Corn- well, Koch, Tatalovich, Perkins and Kaesar crossed the goal line for counters. Watkins gave an excellent example of a de luxe drop kick. The scoring orgy continued after the Purple substitutes had relieved the regulars. OWEN EVERS Guard Mounds, Illinois Coach Filley received a real addition to his 1928 squad in Fat Evers, who proved to be an able line- man to send into any game. Although only a fresh- man, Evers succeeded in winning his letter by proving his worth in stopping line smashes. One Hundred JAMES TUCKER Guard Mounds, Illinois Egypt sent us another athlete of no mean ability when Tucker reported for football. A fast charger, a hard tackier, a clear thinker, made Tucker a de- pendable lineman. Being only a freshman, we should see this lad play an important role in future Purple encounters. The Scott Field Aviators were the next victims of the rejuvenated Bear Cats. The Flyers were defeated 45-0, in which the entire McKendree squad took advantage of every break. RAY SPARLIN Halfback Flora, Illinois A dash around end was Spot ' s specialty and there he used his speed to a real advantage. A sure and mighty tackier made Sparlin a real halfback. The Flora Flash will see three more years of service. One Hundred One LEO SARPLE Halfback This fast, shifty back was a major factor in the success of the 1928 Bear Cats. His speed, coupled with his shifty broken field running, was responsible for many a gain for the Purple. Feety-Two Sarple was perhaps the best ground gainer on the squad. By reason of the previous defeats of Lincoln and Shurtleff in Conference games, the Purple journeyed to Peoria with the Little 19 championship at stake. Meeting Bradley Tech in the last game of the season, the Filleymen were downed by the score of 39-6. Captain Shadowen and Sarple were back- field stars, while Koch shone on the line. Goode, Perkins. Baggott, and Wat- tles played their last grid game in the Purple uniform. CHESTER DRUMMOND End East St. Louis, Illinois Being the smallest man on the squad did not keep Indigo from becoming a McKendree letterman. Red proved his caliber as an end, where his deter- mination and ability made him a general nuisance to the enemy. One Hundred Two VIRGIL CHURCH Halfback Lebanon, Illinois With no previous football training, this local youth made a name for himself in his freshman year on the gridiron. His speed and shifting gained many yards for the Bear Cats. In the next three years Church should develop into a premier backfield man. Honorable mention is here made of Ray Goode, who was one of the most formidable men on the Purple squad. Ray has become famous as a local and national track star, but does not confine his activities to one field. The fact that his picture does not appear here is no reflection on his prowess, but rather an unavoidable coincidence. Goode is a four-letter man in football. LORIN DAUMUELLER Tackle Belleville, Illinois Belleville High presented Daumueller to the 1928 Purple squad. A steady and dependable man won for Butch the confidence of his fellow players. His dish was in breaking up line smashes. One Hundred Three McKendree Loyalty A college ' mid plains is standing, standing there from olden days, A pioneer of prairies, first in untrodden ways, For service and Christian culture, for efficiency she stands, Her sons and daughters praise her, with voices, hearts, and hands. 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 always own thee true and wise and right, Honor Purple and the White, And for victory we ' ll always fight, ' Til we win for old McK. 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 service without bound, Then let us raise our voices, until the plains resound. One Hundred Four Basketball Squad ATHLETICS AT McKENDREE Participation in and enjoyment of sports at McKendree is growing yearly. With the building of strong teams has come a recognition of the school by the larger institutions of learning in the Middle West, as a producer of fair fighting athletes and formidable rivals. This year the football squad engaged in combat with the teams of Bradley Tech., St. Louis U., and other schools of similar ranking. The basketball team played schools of high calibre, such as St. Louis U. and Rolla School of Mines. This year the baseball nine played the Univer- sity of Illinois Reserves. While all of these games are not always won, never- theless, the Bear Cats always furnish such competition that return games are requested. In addition to these, McKendree always makes remarkable showings in the Little Nineteen Conference tilts. In Doctor Harmon, the school has a man who is vitally interested in sports and who assists greatly in securing athletes of recognized ability, to attend McKendree. Coaches Filley, Garvin, and Kole have also proved themselves to be leaders of no mean ability and are entitled to a goodly share of the glory which McKendree has received in inter- collegiate athletics. One Hundred Five Harold Culver, Captain Captain Culver finished his basketball career for the Purple in a brilliant fashion. Equally good en the defense as on the offense, this six-foot-two athlete was a constant threat to the enemy. Culver ' s passing and floor work was especially out- standing during the past season. He leaves a place which will be difficult to fill. Chlorous Hubbell, Captain-elect FORWARD Fuzzy was a scoring ace of the 1928- ' 29 squad. A deadly shot made this Flora lad a dangerous man from any angle on the floor, and his work under the basket was especially brilliant. A six-foot height made Fuzz a consistent defensive man. EDWARD Shadowen. Captain-elect GUARD Eddie, although handicapped in size, displayed a consistent game at guard. His fast thinking, calm judgment, and ability to advance the ball, were major factors in many Bearcat victories. This stellar ath- lete has one more season to don the Purple. Harold Kaesar GUARD Hard, but clean playing, was an out- standing characteristic of Whitie, and made him a dependable guard. The same determination which he displayed on the gridiron was carried over to the basketball court to a decided advantage. One Hundred Si.i Virgil Church forward Deadly shooting, aggressiveness, and fast breaking, all combined to make this local youth ' s freshman year a successful one on the basketball floor. Church is another high point man who proved a vital factor in running up scores against the enemy. Owen Evers guard Fat found From then It was mid-season before himself at the guard position on, Evers was in every Purple battle and gave a splendid account of himself. With this defensive power, and three years of service before him, Fat should rate high among the conference guards. Charles Sanders forward Charlie was a dependable man to send in at any stage of the game. He was a real offensive threat. Whether to stave off a rally or to start one, this Witt ath- lete was a valuable man to rush into the fray. Being only a freshman, Sanders has a real basketball career ahead of him. William Saunders guard Bud was another freshman who earned his M by displaying real basket- ball. He entered McKendree with a splen- did high school record as a guard, and certainly lived up to his reputation. A defensive star with even more promise for the coming season is Bud. One Hundred Seven Basketball Summary Coach Glen Filley ' s Purple basketball cagers finished a season in which they copped nine victories in seventeen battles. Six of the eight tilts lost were close games, the games being decided in the closing minutes of play. Dame Fortune seemed to frown on the Filleymen in the close games. In the Little Nineteen, the Bear Cats claimed five wins and four reverses. According to traditions, the Purple lost to the Shurtleff Pioneers at Alton in a close game, and won from their rivals on the home floor by a decisive score. With Carbondale Normal the tables were turned, S. I. N. U. winning on the local floor and the Filleymen downing the Teachers at Carbondale, 37-26, when Culver proved the hero. In a ragged contest, Carthage defeated Culver and his mates at home by the score of 24-20, while McKendree won from Carthage at Carthage by seven points. Lombard, the Conference leaders, administered the Purple Aces their fourth and last Conference set-back, when they won 38-3 3 in a real battle, in which Hubbell and Church proved to be the stars. Lincoln was defeated, 3 7-19, in which Fuzzy again had a stellar role. The highly-touted Macomb five were downed by the score of 3 3-26 to give the Men of Filley a percentage of .5 56 in the Conference. In non-Conference tilts the Bear Cats finished the season with a record of four wins and as many losses. Two games were won from the Belleville Turners by overwhelming scores. Evansville College defeated the Purple, 34- 30 at Evansville in an overtime tilt. However, the Evansville crew were de- feated on the local floor later in the season by the brilliant work of Culver, Hubbell and Shadowen. St. Louis University was responsible for the Bear ' s most humiliating defeat of the year. The Springfield Teachers and Missouri Wesleyan also boast of victories over the locals. The husky Rolla Miners were downed at Rolla by the score of 34-29. Hubbell and V. Church proved to be the scoring aces of the squad, while the passing and floor work of Captain Culver was especially brilliant. The guard positions were well cared for by Shadowen, Kaesar, Saunders and Evers. Culver will be the only letterman lost to the squad. One Hundred Eight S iJL Cross Country Team In addition to her other athletic activities, McKendree added a cross- country team this year. The team made a very creditable showing under Coach Garvin ' s able leadership. Jts greatest handicap was a lack of experience, which will be overcome in following years. The team participated in two dual meets with Illinois College of Jacksonville and in the state meet (I. I. A. C.) held at Peoria. In the dual meets McKendree won one (24-31) and lost one (27-28). The team placed fourth in the state meet. The prospects for next year are indeed promising as none of the men will be lost by graduation. Coach Garvin also announces that men will be kept in training throughout the sum- mer months in order that a team may be in readiness for the early fall track meets. Cross country running is fast becoming a popular sport at all of the colleges of the Middle West, for it makes a delightful combination with football, which does not appeal as strongly to some persons as do track events. The letter men of this year are: Captain Hall, Spencer, Bartlesmeyer, Church, Bush, Colyer, Hortin, and Hines. One Hundred Nine Track Summary of 1928 The Purple track squad opened the season in a dual meet with Washington University, in which Washington proved the victor. Spencer won the two- mile and Goode hurled the javelin over 190 feet to place first. The Filleymen were the victors at Lebanon on May 4 in a triangular meet between Shurtleff, Carbondale Normal, and McKendree. The trusty Goode won both the javelin and discus throw. Culver amassed ten points by winning the high and low hurdles. Middleton finished ahead of the field in the mile run and Spencer won the two-mile. Gould tied for first in the pole vault and Isley did the same thing in the high jump. The Purple also won the mile relay. At a tri- angular meet at Springfield. Missouri, between the Teachers, Shurtleff, and McKendree, the Fillymen won second place. Goode again won the javelin and Culver ankled over the high hurdles in 16 seconds flat. Upsetting all dope, the Carbondale Teachers downed the Bear Cats by the score of 65 -64 . Goode hurled the javelin over 205 feet and put the shot over 41 feet. Isley won the high hurdles and Bartlesmeyer finished first in the 880-yard run. Culver was the victor in the low hurdles. In the relay, Await, Haskin. Bag- gott and Perkins easily proved supreme. At the State Meet at Monmouth, Ray Goode broke his own record in the javelin throw with a throw of 197 feet and 8 inches. Culver placed second in the high hurdles. One Hundred Ten Baseball (By a Fan) Despite a lack of seasoned material, a stiff schedule, and loss of the ace of the hurling staff in mid-season through ineligibility, the Bear Cat diamond men of 1928 won three of the eight games played. There were eight lettermen available as the season opened; of these, four were outfielders and two were catchers. Captain Jack, Kole, Martin, and Clay- ton were the returning gardeners, Nichols and Guandolo, the receivers, Cornwell the twirler, and Oster at the keystone cushion, the lone survivor of the 1927 infield. Coach Hall settled the third base problem by converting Captain Jack, a classy flychaser, into an excellent guardian of the hot corner. The hard hit- ting freshman, Tatalovich, soon showed that first base was to be his position. After a hard duel for the shortstop position, Reichert beat Hamilton out of the place. Koch, neat freshman back-stop, broke into the line-up in practically all the games. Howard Taylor assumed the bulk of the pitching burden after Cornwell retired. Kole patrolled the center garden in all the games, while the work in the other fields was divided between Clayton and Martin, and the two newcomers, Hamilton and Maxwell. The season ' s scores are Western Military Academy 3, McKendree 8; Washington University 10, McKendree 3; Concordia 3. McKendree 1: Eden 11, McKendree 10; Blackburn 0, McKendree 14: Eden 4, McKendree 5; Black- burn 7, McKendree 5; Shurtleff 15, McKendree 12. At this early date the forecasters are predicting a successful season for the 1929 Bear Cats. There is good reason for this attitude. A glimpse over the roster reveals that there are ten lettermen available for duty as the season opens and a wealth of new material as well. Cornwell is back for his third season to baffle the opposition with his shoots, while Kaesar, moundsman in ' 26 and ' 27, is ready for another year. Dorries, relief hurler of last year, may develop, while much is expected of Larsch, a freshman. Koch and Nichols, 1928 catchers, are promised plenty of opposition by Watkins, formerly of Purdue, for the catching assignment. Advance reports have it that the slugging Tatalovich will have a fight for the initial sack with Evers and Hosier, two frosh. Captain Oster will, in all probability, start his fourth season at the keystone unless Frohardt, second sack of the 1926 squad, who is again in school, takes the job. Reichert seems to be a fixture at short, because of his steady feeling and level-headed playing. Gossett and Sanders, freshmen with the highest recommendations as infielders, are expected to put up a scrap for the third-base position. Maxwell, Hamilton and Clayton, outfielders, are promised opposition by Isley, Barbaglia, Koch, Nichols and Randall. The schedule is not definitely arranged as yet, but to date two games are scheduled with Shurtleff, two with Illinois College, two with Eastern Normal, and two with Murray Normal of Murray, Kentucky. One game is scheduled with the University of Illinois Reserves. Though not yet scheduled, Concordia, Washington University and Western Military Academy are almost certain to be on the card. Stephen Kole will coach the team. One Hundred Eleven Tennis Record of 1928 (By a Fan) For the first time in the history of McKendree the tennis team paraded through the season without a single defeat. Ten tilts were won in easy fashion against formidable opponents. The men who carried the Bear Cat tennis rac- quet to dazzling heights were the letter-men, Vernal Hardy and Ronald Mowe, and a pair of skillful Frosh. George Baggott and Walter Klein, both of whom set a dizzy pace for opponents. During the season the Bear Cats squelched Carbondale in two matches, smothered Illinois College in two meets, smeared Blackburn twice, walloped Eden Seminary mercilessly in a pair of tilts, and last, but not least, the old rival Shurtleff was forced to bow to the Purple Aces in two matches. The ace of the team was the brilliant Klein, who hails from Granite City. The scintillating freshman hammered his way over all opposi- tion, bowing to no one and losing not a single match. At the State Meet Klein took third place after a quiet uphill battle. Baggott was also a stellar performer, who paired with Klein in doubles. The other pair, Mowe and Hardy, deserve far more than passing mention, inasmuch as they furnished the nucleus of the team with plenty of seasoned experience. Last year the girls broke into the limelight through the medium of tennis playing. The team consisted of Lavina Zook and Edna Kinsey, doubles; Martha Rogers and Orena Mowe, doubles; and Martha Rogers, singles. The first match was played with Shurtleff on May 23rd, McKendree losing the match with the exception of the doubles game played by Martha Rogers and Orena Mowe. This did not discourage the girls, however, and they were repre- sented on May 25th at the State Meet held at Milliken University. Kinsey and Zook won their initial match with Lincoln and lost the next match to Mon- mouth, winners of the meet. Rogers lost her singles match to Milliken by a very close score. On May 30th, Shurtleff came to McKendree and won a hard fought battle, surrendering only one singles match. Rogers took second honors in the State Meet. At Carlinville, on May 31st, McKendree defeated Blackburn in every match. Prospects for an interesting tennis schedule and a successful s eason this year are very bright, for after a beginning such as least year ' s, many are ready to fall in line and encourage this form of girls ' athletics. One Hundred Twelvt Jfeatureg ' Yet it was not that nature had shed o ' er the seen? Her purest crystal and her brightest of green: ' Twas not the soft magic of valley or hill. — O. no! it was something mere exquisite still. Twas that friends, the beloved of my heart, were near. Who made every dear scene of enchantment more dear, And who felt how the best charm of nature improve. When we see them reflected from looks that we love. One Hundred Fourteen Popularity Contest Winners Harold Culver Popularity and accomplishment go hand in hand with Culver. He stands in the public eye throughout the year and in whatever activity he partakes success seems to follow him. Harold makes his first bow as an athlete on the basketball court. This year he very capably filled his office as Cap- tain of the squad and won even greater laurels than in former years. With the approach of spring he is to be found on the track where he spe- cializes in high and low hurdles. He is also a tennis player of no mean ability. Culver, while an athlete, is also a popular entertainer at social gatherings. His deep bass voice and instrumental technique find nothing but approval wherever presented. This year he is president of the Men ' s Glee Club. Plato boasts of him as a favorite son and he has also broken into the exclusive Bachelor Society. The student body is to be com- mended for its selection of Culver as the best all-around man, for if popu- larity on the campus and student activities are a standard of measure, he certainly deserves high honors. Lavina Zook Although the contest among the boys was closely contested, Lavina took an early lead in the voting and was an easy victor when the final ballot was cast. Lavina is quite ver- satile in her activities about the cam- pus. She left school at the end of the first semester in order to supply a teacher ' s vacancy in the city schools. Although she no longer attends classes on the hill, her face is still a familiar sight here during her leisure hours. She is an active member of Clio, where her rich alto voice charms all listeners. She has a bent towards commercial work and served as assist- ant registrar during the first semester, where efficiency characterized her work. Last year she served as secre- tary to the president. The success of our girls ' tennis team of last year was due in a large measure to her skill as a player. Lavina represents the typical American girl of which McKendree is so proud. One Hundred Fifteen Prize-Winning Snapshot A novelty in the McKendrean cf 1929 is the snapshot contest. The above picture was selected by faculty judges from a great number which was submitted. This particular snapshot was chcsen because of its fulfillment of the cardinal requirements of good photography. 1. Unity of photographic composition 2. Clearness of detail 3. Pertinence to college life The picture is an excellent example of coherence in photographic com- position. The details of the snapshot are clearly defined and vivid in an ar tistic way, giving the composition real photographic worth. The scene is one which is familiar to every McKendrean. No person who has known our schcol can fail to recall happy memories connected with this particular campus scene. Virgil Church is one cf cur most enthusiastic photog- raphers, whose personal photograph album with its unusual collection of snap- shots is proof enough of real ability in his hobby of photography. This example of merit fully entitles him to the award of $2.50, which was first prize for the snapshots submitted in the contest.

Dark and dingy, dear old room. Leave thee, it may be forever, Wrapped in solitude and gloom, Let me whisper in thy silence, Thoughts which still, like sweet perfume, Stealing o ' er me, thrall my senses Bind my heart to thee, my room. For thy very gloom I loved thee, For thy peaceful solitude Here, within thy steady silence, Where no gaping crowds intrude; Here when tried by fickle fortune Or by such encounters rude As distressed me. I found shelter, Fearing none, by none pursued. Often too with chum s around me Here by day and night forsooth, Berne along upon the current Of our merry, boisterous youth, Plots were laid and plans recited, Full of mischief, waking ruth For the victims who not seldom Proved to be ourselves, in truth. Here, too, in thy silent precincts I have prayed and labored true: Was it all for naught? I leave it To my God, the world, and you. Thou my room with my Creator, Canst reveal what strife I knew, Only thou hast been my witness, Only thou canst know my due. If from long association Aught arises in the mind. To endear an object, why then May I not such pleasure find. When I pass across the threshold. Where my memory hath entwined Wreaths which only death can wither, Wreaths long since by love entwined? Fare thee well, scarred walls and broken, Keep the secrets left with you Which my soul with strong emotion, Struggling could net hide from view. Days to come will find me turning To thy scenes with pleasure true. And around thy walls will cluster Peaceful thoughts. Old Room, adieu!

LANGENW ALTER A man once tried to train a fish to live out of water. The first day he kept the fish out of the bowl for one hour. The second day, for two hours; the third, for three hours, and so on until it would live in the air for a day at a time. One day the man was walking over a bridge, while the fish, which had be- come very fond of its master, followed close behind. But oh, the pity of it — the fish slipped, fell off the bridge into the river and (sniff, sniff) drowned. One Hundred Thirty Not Charity But a Chance . . .

BELLEVILLE Two boys were boasting about their rich relatives. Said one: My father has a big farm in Connecticut. It is so big that when he goes to the barn on Monday morning to milk the cows he kisses us all go odby, and he doesn ' t get back until the following Saturday. Why does it take him so long? the other man asked. Because the barn is so far away from the house. Well, that may be a pretty big farm, but compared to my father ' s farm in Pennsylvania, your farm ain ' t no bigger than a city lot! Why, how big is your father ' s farm? Well, it ' s so big that my father sends young married couples out to the barn to milk the cows, and the milk is brought back by their grandchildren.

No. 41R A man whose trousers bagged badly was standing on a corner waiting for a car. A passing stu- dent stopped and watched him with great interest for two or three min- utes; at last he said: Well, why don ' t you jump? i i i Jim Hortin hurried into a quick- lunch restaurant recently and called to the waiter: Give me a ham sand- wich. Yes, sir, said the waiter, reach- ing for the sandwich: will you eat it or take it with you? Both, was the unexpected but obvious reply. f 1 1 Doctor Spencer as an after dinner speaker was called on to speak on The Antiquity of the Microbe. He arose and said, Adam had ' em, and then sat down. One Hundred Thirty-three Is this the speedometer? asked the pretty girl, tapping the glass with her finger. Yes, dear, he replied. And that ' s the clutch? That ' s the clutch, darling, he said, jamming en the brakes to avoid a fast approaching taxi. But what on earth is this? she inquired, at the same time giving the accelerator a vigorous push with her foot. This, dear, he said, in a soft, celestial voice, is Heaven. And picking up a harp he flew away. i 1 1 Two ardent fishermen were sitting back-to-back in a boat, and sport being rather slow, they both fell into a half doze. One overbalanced and went overboard. As he rose to the surface, the other looked around. Hello, my friend! he cried. I ' d only just missed you. Where have you been? Only to see if my bait was all right, answered the drenched one, cooly. Crisman: There are an awful lot of girls who don ' t want to get married. Bennett: How do you know? Crisman: I ' ve asked them. Belle (winding up an argument) : I think you are a stupid fool! Madge: And I think you are a polite girl: but, possibly, we are both mistaken. i i i Thompson (applying for a job at haying time) : What will you pay? Farmer: I ' ll pay you what you ' re worth. Jake (scratching his head) : I ' ll be durned if I ' ll work for that. ' The other night I stole a kiss My conscience hurt, alack. I think I ' ll go again tonight And put the durned thing back. When ice cream grows on macaroni trees, When Sahara ' s sands are muddy, When cats and dogs wear overshoes, That ' s when I like to study.

Dne Hundred Thirty-six A McKENDREE BOOSTER One Hundred Thtrty-seVen Mrs. Noss: John, how many wars was Spain engaged in during the seventeenth century? John Oster: Seven. Mrs. Noss: Seven? Enumerate them. John: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Mrs. Philbrook (he being discovered by his wife kissing a pretty girl): ' Why, Leman, I ' m surprised. Philbrook: No, my dear, I ' m surprised. You ' re astonished. The football hero: No, mother, I didn ' t lose my front teeth; I have them here in my handkerchief. ' Hist, Romulus, shall we go to the fire sale? Nay, nay, Arcturus: I have no wish to buy a fire. Crouse (pointing to the orchestra leader at the famed soprano ' s recital) Hey, Orena, why does that man keep shaking that stick at that woman? Orena: Sh-sh, he ' s net shaking that stick at her: be still. Crouse: Well, then, what ' s she hollering for? Father, said a little boy, had Solomon seven hundred wives? I believe so, my son, said the father. Well, father, was he the man who said, ' Give me liberty or give me death? ' SPRING In the Spring the cc-ed ' s fancy Lightly turns from may and can, To the greater necromancy Of a young unmarried man. You can hold her through the winter, And she ' ll work around and sing, But it ' s just as good as certain She will marry in the Spring. It ' s easy enough to look pleasant, When the Spring comes along with a rush; But the fellow worth-while Is the one who can smile When he slips and sits down in the slush.
