Poetically niimleil McKendrcans have often expressed the idea that if the trees on the campus could speak, they would have many interesting things to tell about the life at McKendree. One of the earliest recollections of these leafy sen- tinels would be the founding of the Philosophian literary society. This organiza- tion, which was founded one hundred years ago, is the oldest on the hill. Philo ' s record of achievement and success is almost as old as McKendree itself. The purpose of the society, as set forth by the charter members, is to encour- age literary achievement and debate. Programs are presented eacji Monday night, and open session is held once a month. These meetings offer valuable lit- erary and oratorical training for the members. Muring the past }ear the walls of I ' hilo Hall were redecorated. Panels and murals constituted a part of this redecoration. I ' hilo sponsored the group of pla s given b} ' the McKendree players in the chaiiel on ]- ebruary 24. Another project of the society, carried out for the first time this ear, is the sponsoring of the McCormick Oratorical Contest. The pur- pose of this contest is to promote the oratorical ability of the members of the so- ciety. This contest is a memorial to Glenn McCormick, who was killed in action during the World War. The Centennial Anniversary of Philo was celebrated by a banquet which was held on May 14th in Pearson ' s Hall, PLATONIAN LITERARY SOCIETY The year 1849 saw the estabhshment of the Platonian Literary Society on the McKendree campus. The society has, since its estabhshment. promoted extra- curricular activities of various sorts, stressing those of hterary value in particular. The training afforded the college student through participation in the activi- ties of the literary society are of inestimable value. Though this type of organi a- don may be considered as outmoded on some campuses it still provides a certain something not to be found in the activities of any other organization.

The first essay on the program was entitled Those Who Live in Glass 1 louses vShould Never Throw Stones. Clionian programs are much the same now as they were then, e.xcept that the subjects are somewhat modernized.

Herman Pfeffer in September ; a theatre party in St. Louis ; a dinner at the Golden Rod Tea Room in IJelleville, given by Dr. Steckman, sorority sponsor, after the Home- coming game ; a Christmas party in the form of a Scavenger Hunt from the home of Mary Etta Reed in Belleville at which time the members played Santa Claus to indigent families in Belleville : and a series of three rush parties at the begin- ning of the second semester; a tea at the home of Mrs. Herman Pfeffer, a visit to the Chicago underworld in the home of Dr. Yost, and a luncheon with Mrs. W. C. Pfeffer, which assumed the role of the Ritz. The Sorority sponsors Home-Town Week End every year, and during this time each member entertains a prospective McKendrean as her special guest. This }ear it was held during the week end of April 3rd and 4th. at which time a num- bc of girls were entertained in cordial McKendree fashion. The annual banquet at Hotel Statler on May 15th concluded the activities for the year. FRENCH CLUB Those students who aspire to superiority in French are benefitted by member- ship in Le Circle Francais. better known on the campus as the Frencli Club. The purpose of this club is to promote a deeper interest in L rench language and literature as well as that the students may become acquainted with French cus- toms, songs, and folk dances. The organization has a large enrollment of active members. Interesting meetings and parties are held regularly. This year some of the social events were: a reception for the new French students at the beginning of the school year ; initiation ceremonies in whicli new members were mercilessly guillotined; an annual Christmas part} ' held on December 15di, and a St. Valen- tine ' s party. Regular programs include short talks on French subjects, poems, jokes, con- tests, games, and songs. Miss Elsa Mae Tyndall is the sponsor.

In this task we seel-c to imderstaiid Icsiis and Idllow Him. The local Y.W ' .C.A. is one of the most active and helpful organizations on McKendree ' s campus. It begins its activities at the first of the year by providing a big sister for each Freshman girl when she arrives on the campus. A special effort is also made to engender and promote a more friendly spirit of cooperation between off and on-campus girls. Interesting and inspirational meetings are held each week. An uiuisual num- ber of outside speakers liaxe appeared on these programs, giving charm schocl talks, book reviews, and (ither ly])es of pr(]grams which have proved thorfiughl} interesting and helpful.

It also endeavors to help new stu- dents during the first few weeks of their college experience. Interesting meetings are held during the year, and combined meetings with the Y.W.C.A. are of frequent occurrence. This year these meetings included a Christmas service at which Harold Gieseke was the speaker, a program by two negro choruses of Lebanon, as well as several other very interesting meetings. Through the efforts of the combined Y. ' s, Rabbi Isserman of Temple Israel. St. Louis, was secured to speak at the chapel service on March 23. His subject was The American Dream . The sponsors of the Y.M.C.A. for this year were Coach P.. E. P.lanchard and Professor C. D. Hardy. A new constitution was drawn up and adopted this year. WOMEN ' S GLEE CLUB Ba.k Rotc H. Hanflel. L.

For tlie first time in five years, the season of 1936 did not find the Bearcats contenders for the conference football title. Cjoinjj through a mediocre season because of injuries and lack of reserve material, the F ' urple and White were only able to win three games while dropping six contests. They (jpened up the season ' s schedule with a forfeit from ShurtletT, the lone conference win of the season. The Purple dropped four conference battles before the season was over. Norris went over for the lone conference touchdown in the North Central game. AlcKendree ' s other two wins were over Chillicothe and Oakland City. The Rolla Miners and Washingtcm University accounted for the fifth and si.xth losses. One member of the football squad, Captain Wallace Blackburn, was honored when he was selected on the Second Team of the Associated Press All-Star Se- lection of the Little 19. Unlike other years, a wealth of material was not at hand, especially in the line of backfield men. Yet every game was a hard-fought one and not once did a Picar- cat quit fighting until the final gun. SEASON ' S RECORD McKendrt-L ' .. JMcKendree- McKendree- McKendree..

Center, First- Year Letterman, Ernst took over the center position when Schwartz was forced to quit foot- ball, due to injuries, and proved to be a good care-taker of the snapper-back position. His knowledge of the game made him one of the headiest line- men in the conference. Sol shoidd be a valuable man next season if his injured knee will stand the strain. Ernst, injured in the S. I. N.

Serving as a substitute in his Fresh- man vear. Randall came back this year to earn his second coveted ' ' M ' ' and to become a mainstay in the McKendree line. There is little doubt that Mai will be ripht in the front line when the season opens next fall. He makes up for bis lack of height in fighting spirit and love for the game, thus making of himself a great player. Ran. dall ' s outstanding performance was in the Washington game, when he knifed through the Bear ' s line on at least a dozen occasions to smear the play. Mai was al.so used in the backfield on a few occasions. Gibbons ' try for the extra jjoint was blocked by Randall. — £nif St. Louis Journal.

Quarterback; First- ' i ' ear Letterman. AFadden was substitute No. 1 of the backfield. He took care of the quar- terback post when Isselhardt was out of the game.

John Dillingee, Senior East St. Louis. Guard and Center; First-Year Letterman. Dillinger has been out for football for four years. This vear he received his first ' M for his loyal service. Al- ways ready to step in and dish it out , John proved to be a valuable reserve.

After this year ' s experience he should Pane Forty-uine be a threat as a line-plunger for the Cats next season. Bise was used this year mostly as a blocking back and took good care of his post. A tall, rangy fellow, Bise also has an ability for catching passes. Wayne Bise scored the McKendree touchdown bv a wide sweep from the Indiana team ' ' s 6-yard line. — 5f. Louis Post Disratcl:.

The last of the Larshs ' , as in his Freshman year, was again one of the best ends in the Little 19. Johnny was the hardest-working man on his squad. His practice was as thorough as his game. Larsh is probably the best pass-receiver ever donning a Mc- Kendree football uniform, and his many spectacular catches will long be re- memb ered by local football fans. Al- ways a consistent ball player Bud , in his next two years, should become one of the Bearcat immortals. Owing to his aggressiveness he was also a great defensive man.

He started at guard, shifted to center, and finished the season as a halfback, also taking care of the kick- ing. Rice always fought to the finish and his fight and determination will be greatlv missed next year. Rice also did some nice work in the kicking department, getting off sev- eral good ' kicks. — 5f.

This year Blackburn brought his ca- reer to a grand finale. A spirited leader and hard fighter, his shoes will not easily be filled. As he had done in the past two years, Wally again headed the McKendree forward wall, and showed he could take it. He took terrific punishment in the Washington game, but went back for more. Always playing a charging game, bis most out- standing one of the season was with North Central. Blackburn was all over the field making tackle after tackle, and smearing plays before they were well started. The Lebanonites two tackles. Capt.

Big, rough, and ready, Dud was always willing to give and take, thereby proving him- self one of the most improved players on the squad. With his ability for checking interference, there is no doubt as to the filling of the left tackle Clair Xorris, Senior Hammond. Indiana. Fullback; Three- Year Letterman. Norris was the outstanding backfield man for the Purple throughout the sea- son. His driving ability was remark- ■ahle. He was the only man on the squad able to gain ground on running plavs. He also took care of a great deal of the passing. Chuck really opened up in the Washington game on the opening kick-off. when the last man between him and the pay-off line brought him down. Norris will leave us via the sheep-skin route, and will be sed.

Used mostly when a fast end run was needed Johnny became a threat when he got loose. What he lacked in brawn he made up in fast footwork. Schlosser ' s punting was easily the outstanding feature oif the game. — St. Li ' u:s Glohe-Demoernt. Kenneth Atkins, Freshman Halfback; First-Year Letterman. East St. Louis. (No Picture).

Jim, a two-sport man, has abil- ity on the basketball court as well as on the gridiron. More silent than ever. Beers was content with being strictly a defensive man. He turned in a great piece of work in the Car- bondale contest. With a bit more determination and offensive ability r.eers should be a virtual regular RoBKRT Davis, Freshman Granite City. Guard; First-Year Letterman. Davis was the fourth first year letterman of the Blanchard regime. He was used quite a bit during the season. Being a big, husky boy he had ability to rebound. His chief weakness was his use of football tactics. Joe should be a candi- date for the vacancy left in the guard division by the graduation of Krizek and Wehmeier. Captain Roy Jai ckei,, Junior Forward, Associated Press All- Star. Honorable Mention; Three-Year Letterman. Jacckel again was one of the bet- ter ball handlers in the conference, and also did his share of scoring. He ranked second to Bise in scor- ing, dropping in 112 tallies in IS games. Being cool under fire, and a heady player, he was the boy who held the team together all year. He turned in his best performances in the Hlinois College and Shurtleff tilts. Jaeckcl had the misfortune of dislocating his ankle in the last game of the season, and was lost to the track s,|uad for the season. Gus Kkizkk, Senior Belleville Guard, Four-Y ' ear Letterman Krizek, who leaves the hardwood by the sheepskin route, made his fourth year the best of his career, becoming as he did a scoring threat during the past season. Yet through- out his career he has been outstand- ing for his spectacular defensive re- bounding. Somehow Krizek always came out with the rebound, was a hard fighter, and could always be depended upon. He is the only graduating regular, and his absence will be keenly felt. He turned in a stellar performance m the St. Viator Joiix Harmon, Freshman Lebanon Center, First-Y ' ear Letterman Harmon, another outstanidng Freshman star, should go far next season. Being a heady ball player, and having a thorough knowledge of the game, Ace should become a threat. Harmon had a deadly eye for the basket and could flip a hook shot when an extra basket was needed. If he overcomes his foul- ing weakness, Harmon will be a val- uahle eager in coming years. Emil Stkothkide, Freshman New I ' .aden Guard, First. Year L ' tterman Strotheide, a giant in height and weight, after a slow start became a regular guard about midway in the season, giving a good account of himself in the remaining games. Without doubt, Strotheide has great scoring ability and, because of his height, is a clever defensive man. With this year ' s experience, Bub should prove his worth next year, .md should be hard to stop. Waynic P)isr-:, Junior founds Forward, Associated Press All- Star; Honorable Mention; voteil squad ' s most valuable man; Three- Year Letterman, Captain- elect. Bise, the Blond Viking, was a steady, depenilable player all year. Strong on defense, dangerous on of- fense, he is one of the best rebound- ers in the conference. He led all scorers, piling up 172 cotmters in IS games. He also stood high in conference scoring with 76 tallies. Being a tip-in artist and a hard-driv- ing player, Bise was respected in all basketball circles. The captain-elect set a new scoring record when he scored 26 points in the Scott Field fray. Next vear Clarence should become an immortal among McKen- dree basketeers. Alfrkd RIanis, Sohhomore Benton Center. Two-Year Letterman Manis, one of the tallest players in the league, was a valuable man for the Purple because of his abil- ity to get the tip-off as well as for his tip-in tactics. Slim had 85 points to his credit this season, and his .lefensive tactics were consider- ably improved. Manis played his best ball of the season in the Sparks game, thereby proving that he really could plav a bang-up game. Tf he can develop consistency he will be invaluable next season. Edward Jones, Fresliman Mound Cily Forward, First-Year Letterman Bud developed from a Fresh- man of unknown ability into a strong reserve. Jones has offensive power but lacks proper defensive tactics. With further experience and a sjjirit of seriousness and deter- mination he should develop into a great haskeleer. Art H IK ' i:hmi:ier, Senior Collinsville Guard, Two-Year Letterman Wehmeier, the smallest man on the squad, was a valuable substitute. He had plenty of fight and could stick to his man like a leech. De- spite his small st.lture, . rt had uncannv ability as a rebounder. Wehmeier is one of the two men of this vear ' s sc|uad to leave us this spring through graduation.

New talent has been discovered and de- veloped, particularly within the ranks of the freshmen. A resume of these activi- ties presents a very satisfying year ' s program. The outstanding effort of the _ ear was undoubtedly the spring play. The Cradle Song by Gregorio and Maria Martinez Sierra. This play, a comedy in two acts with an interlude in verse, has been translated from the Spanish into all the major languages and is fast becoming an international classic . The theme, based on the happenings within the cloistered walls of a convent, is universal in its appeal. Througli tlie efforts of Miss Thomas, director, and W ' illard Friederich, as- sistant director, some unusuall} ' fine dramatic situations and stage effects were obtainetl. In McKendree annals it takes its place w ith such long-to-be-remembered fa- vorites as The Focjl , Sun-Up , Lightnin ' . and a few others of like caliber.
