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:

Loy Wattles, A. B. 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

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
