CHARLES J. STOWELL, Ph.D. Dean His tenacity of purpose is exceeded only by his insistence upon minute details; his love of wisdom only by his interest in his students.

My brain is in a trance. For once I do not look forward. I look back to yesterdays; one last chance Is mine, this last day To make it burn within my soul Never to forget. It is a pensive sadness that enshrouds me. Slowly, quietly, memories float Thru the years, and fleetingly blur In one moment. Friends I leave behind — cherished friends — Who have made my life a daily joy and heartache. Smiles I shall no longer see, of those Departed on the way. Gone forever. Yet lingering in the heart thru all eternity. Cool, calm nights in spiced rose gardens Will loom before me always. Nights crisp with fallen snow, are only memories. First acquaintances, first loves Overfill these years. And they are the best. The best years of my life — I realize now — On commencement. — Marion Kleinschmidt.

SOPHOMORE ' S PHILOSOPHY ' Plato, Euripides, Socrates, Diogenes, Are known for their philosophies. Philosophies of modern Greek, Makes ancient logic very weak, A sophomore, the might speaks: The more you study, the more you know; The more you know, the more you forget; The more you forget, the less you know. So why study? The less you study, the less you forget; The less you forget, the more you know; The more you know, the more you forget. So why study? Our intellectual wizards enthusi- astically expound their theories and doctrines to all listeners. What their philosophy lacks in quality is more than compensated for by its quantity. Their social program was climaxed by a hay ride on which real hay was used.

POPE — Essay on Criticism This year ' s freshmen are by no means the Green hats of a decade ago. Many of them ore, in fact, seasoned officers in Uncle Sam ' s Armed Forces. Their prize accomplishment of the year was their early morning party which occurred at the un-earthly hour of four o ' clock in the morning. The old bell certainly had a workout. The culprits were overjoyed at their success, but many of them looked with disdain upon the hair-dos which were presented to them for such outstand- ing originality. jp C O o JUL ID ft o Richard Snyder Gwendolen Veatch Charles Montgomery Frank Harris Norman Baker Ruth Cooper Herman Talbert Florene Broadus James Grove Edith Rittenhouse Harold Popelka Mounts Sorensen Joyce Ann Kean Warren Beckemeyer Virginia Conklin Harold Barrow Louise Karraker Donald Smith Ruth Hauser John Villarosa Jeanne Beatty Wyatt Rowlings Hirrel Daudermar Ralph Sleight Robert Winning Robert Tenney Kenneth Stegall Holt Gay William Carson Orval Wiley Daniel Martin Richard Wohlschlag Jessie Seiber Harry Buzzard Walter Pimlott Raymond Suggs Myrl Kuhn Paul Salmon Raymond Hayes Daniel Williamson Noble Wright James Pinkston Thomas Gordon Donald Edwards Wilbert Cannon Harold Nothdurft Wanda Barger Charles Fenner Eunice Bivins W.

The dramatic fraternity has followed a very interesting and helpful program this year. At each monthly meeting two or three current plays were discussed. Meetings were held at the homes of Miss Alleen Wilson, and of Professor and Mrs. Harold Hertenstein. A trip to the American Theater to see The Doctor ' s Dilemna during the first semester was a highlight of the season. Two initiations were held during the year. A successful season was climaxed by a banquet in St. Louis.

President: BARBARA WOOLARD Vice-President: MARY RUTH SHELTON Secretary-Treasurer: RALPH A. EDWARDS Sigma Tau Delta is in its sixth year on Mc- Kendree ' s Campus. The meetings are helpful, for through them we learn to read and evaluate current literary productions. During the first semester, four members were pledged to our fraternity. They are Mary Eliza- beth Presley, Flossine Rule, Barbara Boggess, and Bonnye Broadus. Early in the second semester, the members of our society attended the production of Noel Coward ' s play, Blithe Spirit, at the American Theater in St. Louis. A poem by Mary Ruth Shelton, Evensong, appeared in our national magazine, The Rectangle, for Winter, 1941. The fraternity met this spring at the home cf Dr. West for an out-of-door picnic supper.

It is the purpose of our fraternity to uphold a worthy standard of religion, service and brotherhood in the lives of our student ministers. Devotional programs were presented on each Monday afternoon. Our Witnessing Band, which is a continuation of the Gospel Teams, appeared in many southern Illinois churches. A trip to St. Louis to visit important churches and social service organizations was helpful in broad- ening our outlook. The members enjoyed a banquet as a fitting climax to a profitable year.

Presidents: BARBARA BOGGESS KAY McLEOD FLOSSINE RULE BONNYE BROADUS An outstanding trend in the last two years has been toward making more helpful programs a rule in our society. Each program has a cen- tral theme, which, when followed, unifies and integrates our thoughts. The constitution has been studied and Robert ' s Rules of Order finds a place on each program during parliamentary drill. Miss Conrow graciously accepted the role of sponsor to our group. Eight members were pledged during the course of the year. Four open sessions were held which proved our con- tention that Clio is one of the most useful or- ganizations on our Hill.

The society which boasts of being one of the oldest literary societies on the campus and in the United States is in its one hundred and fifth year. Twelve new members were added to the roll, bringing the total to twenty-one active members. Two pledge banquets were held at the Lebanon Hotel, a wiener roast was given on March 13, and the Philo-Plato basketball ban- quet was held December 4. During the current year, Philo created the new office of athletic chairman, placing empha- sis on the building of strong bodies as well as good minds. At the end of the year, the society placed on the hardwood, a team almost equal in brilliance to the varsity which composed Plato ' s team. On Founders ' Day, Philo was nosed out by a small five point lead.

Presidents: LEWIS WINTERROWD ANTONE TEPATTI That There ' ll always be a Plato was never more evident than when Plato met Philo, to test by brawn and ready wit the respective merits of the two societies in a basketball game on Founders ' Day. The Platonians point with pride to a score 35-29 in their favor. This year Plato began the year with seven members and pledged thirteen. This is a one hundred per cent increase in membership over last year. Any organization could be proud of such progress — and we are. On April 2 an American Flag was presented to the college in an impressive service during which a former Platonian, Rev. John Glotfelty, spoke. The season ended its special events with a banquet in which Plato cooperated with Philo and Clio. Dr. Harold E. Wallace consented to act as sponsor in the absence of Coach Lewis Scholl. Y. W. C.

President: MARY RUTH SHELTON As is our custom, we tried to make every new girl feel that she was a part of our school be- fore she came by providing each girl with a big sister from our organization which in- cludes all the girls on the campus. The Y Mixer, which we give in connection with our brother organization, is another traditional part of our year ' s program. The Y. W. C. A. provides a spiritual expres- sion found in no other organization. One of our outstanding programs was a European travel lecture by Dr. Pritchard. The Y. W. held a taffy pull for the entire school in Pearson ' s Hall. Heart Sister Week was observed again this year in traditional manner.

Hohn ' s talk on Mental Hygiene, Miss Marion Conrow ' s speech about A Trip to Ko- rea, and Dr. J. C. Dolley ' s resume of A Grecian Trip I Made. The social side of our program was rounded out by a Y Mixer, which was held September I I , and by a St. Valentine Party. CALVIN RYAN Pianist: CYRIL CURTIS Sponsors: DR. W.J.SCARBOROUGH PROF. C. D.

The council to foster better government on the Hill is in its third year of service. Students elected from the residence halls, the student body and those living in town meet with some selected faculty members to discuss problems and possible improvements in government. This year the need for a McKendree sign at the intersection of the main highways was discussed and became a reality. New library hours were experimented with as a result of council discus- sion. Cooperation was pledged by this group to the Activities Committee in its attempt to revive and foster a more colorful May Fete. Remarkable progress has been shown in an organization which makes suggestions that do not necessarily become laws. Chairman: DR. C. R.

Illinois Theta Chapter Pi Kappa Delta President: AL JOHNPETER Vice-President: HARRY WALKER The national emergency has curtailed the in- tercollegiate itinerary for this year, but the intra-squad debates helped to make this as profitable a season as we have ever enjoyed. A group from the squad attended the fourth annual Principia College Public Affairs Confer- ence at Elsah, Illinois. The national subject for debate was Re- solved that Great Britain and the United States should form a federation based upon the eight principles of the Churchill-Roosevelt Pact. The two intercollegiate debates were held at Greenville and Concordia Colleges.

Editor: JAMES OPPITZ Competing in the class with other papers which are printed at the same frequency and from schools which enroll under 400, the Mc- Kendree Review came off with third honors in the state. Jim Oppitz received an honorable mention in the Best Story class. Bob Matthews, Edith Rittenhouse, Jim Oppitz and Mrs. Nell G. Oppitz attended the Illinois College Press Association convention in Ma- comb, Illinois, on October 4. These members of the Review staff participated in round table discussions concerning the college newspaper. A clever April Fool edition of the paper was notable.

DOROTHY I. WEST With their customary cheerfulness and self sacrifice the annual staff labored up to the dead line in order to produce the best book possible. Charles Chadwell and his assistants spared no effort to produce an annual which they hoped would be better than any before. This is always the aim of a truly competent staff and this group has been no exception. If they have, in a small measure, attained the standard set for themselves, their effort has not been in vain.

This season the chorus can boast that they have appeared before more people than in year ' s past. These appearances have been made in many of Southern Illinois churches and over radio stations in Harrisburg, Herrin, and St. Louis. In the latter instance, they sang over both KMOX and KSD. Founders ' Day and the District Conference held at Bethalto were made more worthwhile by the songs of this group. A party welcoming the new members was held during the first semester. A more formal and elaborate social event climaxed the year ' s efforts. Miss Ford has been tireless in her efforts to produce a singing unit. She has been ably as- sisted by Robert Herman, a senior member of the chorus, who has been soloist, member of the chorus, member of the quartet, and composer as well. As a fitting conclusion to a successful season, we presented the oratorio, The Redemption, by Gounod.

There has been only one change in the group since last year: Eunice Bivins has filled June Miller ' s place as second soprano, and Harold Nothdurft fills the first tenor spot in the men ' s quartet. Ethel Dewhirst has substituted on every occasion when she was needed either as a first or second soprano. The sextet has sung at the Scott Field Chapel services, at Centralia Youth Fel- lowship, for the Men ' s Club at Granite City, at Central City, at Alma, and for the New Baden Women ' s Club. The quartet has appeared in a vesper service at Alton, Mascoutah High School, at Scott Field, and in East St. Louis.

Too much cannot be said in praise for the revival of one of the most useful and entertain- ing organizations here at McKendree. The work of the members and of the director, Wilbert Cannon, has been untiring. What has this organization accomplished? It has lent spirited atmosphere to the intercollegi- ate games and contests. It has provided inter- esting programs and selections for programs. Notable was the Founders ' Day concert. Not only has the band entertained others; it has given, also, a wholesome outlet for the latent musical ability which so many McKendreans possess. At the annual McKendree Band Clinic, held on the campus this spring, a group of three hundred picked musicians from Southern Illinois high schools was coached; and in the evening of the same day, a mass band was formed under the direction of Mr. Barton, of the Leb- anon High School, and Mr. Cannon. A baby symphony orchestra of twenty-five pieces was organized on our campus this year. This group was also under the leadership of Mr. Cannon.

All those at the first meet- ing became charter members while those who entered later in the year passed through a six weeks pledgeship. Interesting programs were given each month and the first open session in the history of the group was held during the second semester. A theater party to the American Theater at St. Louis to see Macbeth was one of the out- standing events of the year. As usual the Little Theater helped the Play Production Class produce their one-act plays. President: FRANCES ROBINSON Vice-President: ROBERT HERMAN Secretary-Treasurer: MARY E.

Fif- teen such members were added to the M Club roll this year. The gala festivities which attend the election and crowning of the football queen were spon- sored by us. This year Bonnie Bell, a sophomore from Flora, reigned as Queen of the Homecom- ing activities. Graduating seniors who will receive valuable emblems are George Edwards, Leland Grieve, Carrol Lowe, and Jorden Debben. FOOTBALL SQUAD .47 4I 1 44 | 31 Manager Lewis Winterrowd, Frank Harris, Herbert Schroeder, Walte Don Hartman, Paul Griffin, Earl Braeutigam, Coach Lewis Scholl, Ros Royce Timmons, Captain George Edwards, Arthur Hinson, Harold E Pimlott, Richard Snyder, ; Hortin, Wyatt Rowlings, arrow, George Kennedy. Under the generalship of Coach Lewis Scholl and Captain Buddy Edwards, this big little team wound up the season with two wins, a tie, and four setbacks; but this record, discouraging as it may be, doesn ' t tell the story. The spirit with whic h the team played, when each member knew that there was very little chance of a substitution being made for him, was tremendous. Sixteen men was the greatest number of players used in any one game, and the fight put up by those few was and will be hard to beat. More men and fewer injuries would have told a different story about the 1941 edition of the McKendree Bearcats. FOOTBALL QUEEN Miss Bonnie Bell, a sophomore, won the coveted honor of presiding as Queen over the Homecoming football contest. She was a Maid of Honor during her first year. A diversity of interests claims the attention of her Majesty: Bonnie is an active member of the Clionian Literary Society and took part in the Homecoming play Your Uncle Dudley and the May Day play. Our Queen has actively participated in the Women ' s Athletic Association and has been a mem- ber of the basketball team. It is needless to tell those on our campus of her pieasant smile and lovable disposition; but for you who do not know, Bonnie is one of the most admired women on our Hill. Jfc % 1 w 1 0 wj 0M J j X,- s — l dl 1 Our college ' mid plains is standing, Standing there from olden days — A pioneer of learning, First in untrodden ways. For service and Christian culture, For efficiency she stands. Her sons and daughters praise her With voices, hearts, and hands. Chorus Hail to thee, our dear old McKendree! May we always loyal be. It ' s a song of praise we raise to thee, Alma Mater, dear old M C. May we ever hold thee true and wise and right. Honor purple and the white; And for victory we ' ll always fight Till we win for old M C K. Scholl Edwards Griffin Snyder Horti Kennedy Schroeder Pimlott Rowlings Hinson Harris Barrow Hartman Timmons CAPTAIN GEORGE EDWARDS, Senior East St. Louis, Quarterback, four-year let- terman. The Purple ' s retiring captain, the ever-popular Buddy, closed a gridiron career which will long be remembered by McKendree ' s football friends. Edwards threw passes, caught passes, punted, place-kicked, called sig- nals and carried the ball — and performed all functions with plenty of scrap for his team and his school. Buddy was picked as a halfback on the Ivy League all-star team, and really deserved the honoring of his outstanding offensive and defensive play, and smart generalship. CAPTAIN-ELECT EARL BRAEUTIGAM, Junior Mascoutah, Fullback, three-year letterman. Meathead, who has been accepted by the U. S. Naval Air Corps, will not be around to hit the line for Mc- Kendree next year, and those teams listed on the Purple ' s schedule will be glad of it. Earl was a bruiser, and moved fast enough that it hurt to get in front of him. Twenty-four of McKendree ' s thirty- eight points were scored by this 212-pound smasher, all on line plunges. His never-give-up spirit, his drive, and defensive ability will be missed by the 1942 team. CO-CAPTAIN ELECT PAUL GRIFFIN, Junior East St. Louis, Halfback, two-year letter- man. Tall, rangy, powerful, and fast, Griffin was a mighty good ball-carrier, and very ably took over the duties after an injured wrist healed. His best game was un- doubtedly the mud-fest at LaSalle-Peru, in which he handled almost all the running assignments, due to the fact that Braeutigam was injured. Griffin toted the ball to the one-yard line, to set up Braeutigam ' s touchdown. He again carried to the yard-stripe, only to have the slippery oval squirt from his arms just as he was about to score in the closing minutes of the game. Wang will be back with the Purple next year. CO-CAPTAIN ELECT RICHARD SNYDER, Freshman East St. Louis, End, one-year letterman. A big, tough, hard-hitting, pass-catching end is some- thing a coach desires very much, and Mentor Lewis Scholl wo- blessed with Dick Snyder to fill the bill. Dick was a good man, and will be a big factor in the building of the 1942 eleven. His aggressiveness and fight meant a lot to the small squad. DONALD HARTMAN, Junior O ' Fallon, End, three-year letterman. Big Don opened the holes on offense, closed them on defense, and plugged all the time against fresh tackles, although he could hardly drag himself into position. Duck will be back for his fourth season next year, and his ability will again be in demand. ROYCE TIMMONS, Junior Granite City, Halfback, two-year letter- man. Meece was stubby and fast, and was a nice, little pass-tosser, and will be sorely missed next year. He is flying in Uncle Sam ' s Air Corps, and if he puts out as much up there as he did here, Coach Sam will be well-satisfied. ROSS HORTIN, Junior Albion, Center, two-year letterman. Ross was regular center this year, after having under- studied Ray Fary for two seasons. And believe it, he really went to town in the pivot spot. He ' s a mighty good man to have around, and he will be around next year. ARTHUR HINSON, Sophomore Madison, Guard, one-year letterman. Here ' s the hard-charging, football-playing boy from Modison, who was laid up as a freshman with a bum knee and couldn ' t show his stuff then. But when he took off the wraps this season, he proved that underneath them there was 185 pounds of gridiron stuff which could last any sixty-minute game. Arty will be back for two years more. GEORGE KENNEDY, Sophomore Mound City, Tackle, one-year letterman. George was a hard-blocking tackle and a rugged man on defense. He asked no quarter, and gave none, always scrapping his way into the enemy backfield. He t his share of the tackles, and sometimes few HERBERT SCHROEDER, Sophomore Mascoutah, Tackle, two-year letterman. Schroeder came here two years ago with no gridiron experience, but he improved much, and was one of the men who rated a nod in the Purple forward wall. He was hard to get out of the way when enemy inter- ference moved in his direction, and he was among the first through the line to break up plays. WYATT RAWLINGS, Freshman East St. Louis, Guard, one-year letterman. Rowlings was a rough-looking boy in a football suit, and he was mighty rough, too. He came to school with a rep of being a good player, and lived up to it, fighting all the time. Rowlings was strictly a team man, and fought to win. He took a lot of beatings, as did everyone, and strained up to the final gun. WALTER PIMLOTT, Sophomore Carmi, Tackle, two-year letterman. When it came to playing against odds, Red didn ' t mind, but he ' d just dig in and put out that much more. Tall and well-built, weighing 180, this titan- haired sophomore was just too good for most of the guys he ran against. FRANK HARRIS, Freshman East St. Louis, Tackle, one-year letterman. After Frank got a chance to show his stuff, he proved that he was a much better player than he was given credit for being. His size made him mighty handy to have around. Big things are expected of Frank on the gridiron. HAROLD BARROW, Freshman Belleville, End, one-year letterman. Here ' s a little man, weighing only 140, who stuck thiough thick and thin, and was always ready when he was called. He ' s in the U. S. Army now, and his determination will help him to go places there. BASKETBALL SQUAD Herbert Schroeder, Malcolm h Smith, Antone Tepatti, Co res, Co-captain Andy Patterson, James Gr jptain Lev Is Winterrowd, Boyd Anderson. The Bearcat cagers opened the season with a victory over Jefferson College, but added to that a string of nine straight defeats, to finish half the season ' way on the short end of the won and lost score. But under the smart tutelage of Coach Lewis Scholl and the leadership of their co-captains, Lewis Winterrowd and Andy Patterson, the McKendreans poured it on down the back stretch and all the way home, as they emerged victors in seven of their last ten games. In this win streak, the Schollmen added another conquest over Jefferson, and avenged setbacks by Centralia, Harris, Conccrdia, and Blackburn, and picked up a pair of wins over Parks Air College. Two of the losses were to St. Louis and Washington Universities, and two more to Austin Peay College, of Clarksville, Tennessee, and Lambeth College, at Jack son, Tennessee. CO-CAPTAIN LEWIS WINTERROWD Junior Bible Grove, Forward, two-year-let- terman. As a captain should, Louie set an excellent example for the rest of the squad to -follow. He played hard, never giving up, ond he played to win. He kept himself in good physical trim, and he was always striving to better himself os a basketball player. He was one of the high scorers on the Purple, his best game being against Concordia when he laid in eighteen points. CO-CAPTAIN ANDY PATTERSON, Sophomore West Frankfort, Forward, one-year letterman. Andy was short, but he was fast and had a dead eye; and consequently he was one of the kingpins of the Bearcat quintet. Patterson led the entire squad in scoring, and he could always be counted on to net a goodly num- ber of points. His scrappiness enabled him to break up enemy plays, and one of his favorite tricks was to steal the ball from an opponent and dribble unmolested down the floor for an easy setup shot. BOYD ANDERSON, Sophomore Albion, Guard, one-year letterman. Tex had height and knew how to use it; consequently he was the best rebounder, both on offense and defense. He counted a number of points that way, and added a few more with his under-handed long shot. One of his greatest assets was his pep, and he was always sharing it with the rest of the team. He was also one of the best foul-shot artists on the squad. ANTONE TEPATTI, Junior Pocahontas, Guard, one-year let- terman. This dark, little, smiling boy was the hardesr- fighting guy on the squad; and although he had more than his share of the fouls, he was putting out all the time. Tony ' s best game was the Shurtleff fracas, in which he was outstand ng defensively and offensively, sinking five long shots from the center of the floor. GORDON HUFF, Junior Owensville, Forward, one-year letter- man. Tuffy is with Uncle Sam now, serving as a second lieutenant in the Army. He was in school long enough to finish the basketbcll season, and it was good that he was. His ability to fill in for anybody on the floor made him very valuable. JAMES GROVE, Freshman Batchtown, Forward, one-year let- terman. Jim could always be counted on to hold up his end of the load when he was in the game. This good-looking, dark-haired fresh- man played heads-up ball all the time, and will be expected to show more, as he has three years of school to go. V 10 ' , I 1 I MALCOLM MYRES, Junior Belleville, Center, one-year letter- man. Entering school at the beginning of the sec- ond semester, as a transfer student from Blackburn, Mai helped pull the Purple out of a slump. His height ond scoring ability made him one of the standouts. One sports writer coined the term, A.M., indicating the season after Myres, to show the improve- ment the addition of Myres made in the EARNEST SMITH, Sophomore Woodriver, Forward, two-year let- terman. Ernie was a good man to have around, and when he was in there he was very steady. Ernie started out two years ago as an in- experienced freshman, but he has gradually developed into a dandy little ball-player. He is young, and will be a valuable man to the team for the next two years. KITTYCUBS Eunice Bivins, Ethel Dewhirst, Virginia Conklin, Miss Cora Marie Thomas, Joyce Ann Kean, Jane Hackmann, Margaret Harshbarger, Betty Stelzriede, Ruth Hauser, Lois Kinison, Bonnie Bell, Margaret Saxe. Co-Captains: Lois Kinison Mary Matthews The girls ' basketball team played a heavier schedule this year than last year. This organization of athletically-minded girls played a total of nine games, a cir- cumstance which gave them more chance to perfect their game. Two games were played with Blackburn, Harris Teachers ' College and Shurtleff each. Three games were scheduled with an independent team from town. Three of the nine games were won, and there was a prevailing good sportsmanship in spite of the fact that the losses were close. Marion Kleinschmidt is finishing four years as a Kittycub guard. Ruth Hauser was the high-scoring member of the team for this season, though she played part of one game with a sprained ankle. TRACK SQUAD Manager Herbert Schroeder, Holt Gay, Boyd Anderson, Calvin Ryan, Don Hartman, Frank Harris Carrol Lowe, Clifford Keck, James Pinkston, Bernard Logan, Leland Grieve, George Edwards Jorden Debban, Harry Walker. There are nine returning lettermen on the track and field squad this year, and a number of promising freshmen, which all adds up to what should be a fair season. The Purple thinclads have two dual meets with both Shurtleff and Harris, and will entertain Shurtleff, Principia, Harris and Eureka, at a five-sided event on Hypes Field. There is also a possibility of a pair of meets with Concordia Seminary. The returning lettermen are Carrol Lowe, poie vault; Paul Griffin, weights and dashes; Boyd Anderson, hurdles, javelin, and pole vault; Don Hartman, shot and discus; Dick Snyder, dashes; Bob Dannenbrink, middle distances; Cliff Keck, distances; George Edwards, weights and half-mile; and Leland Grieve, hurdles and broad jump. YOUR UNCLE DUDLEY dp Ht Hi ■ Mt T JB H j ■ yP m M . ■ ' i A H| lBADh • . ' W v ' Betty Stelzriede, Ralph Edwards, Bob Herman, Wilbert Cannon, Virginia Conkli Bonnie Bell, Carol Heer. Your Uncle Dudley, by Howard Lindsey and Bertrand Robinson, proved to be much more entertaining than it sounded from hearing Good-bye forever, good- bye forever shouted double forte about ten-thirty every evening. In spite of slap- stick in the part of young Cyril Church, melodrama in the parts of Robert and Ethelyn, and realism in the part of Mrs. Church, the play keeps its balance by means of the title-character, Uncle Dudley, whose desire to make everyone happy keeps him with his back to the proverbial wall throughout the three acts.

The philosophizing, pipe-smoking stage manager is, without a doubt, the pivot about which the homely, day-by-day events in the lives of ordinary people turn; and the dead perched up- right on chairs in the closing scene make a profound impression of serene contem- plation of the eternal.

The hall of Old Main is churning with people we ' ve never seen before. The door to the south office is shut; but through the door of the business office, we can see Miss Donald- son doing nothing. A freshman enters from the hall, but he goes unnoticed because of his minute size. He stands awhile and finally says in a voice full of anything but proper freshman meekness, I wanna pay you some money! Miss Donaldson jumps out of her chair and grabs her receipt book on the run. Looking down over the desk, she sees a small gentleman whom we shall later know as Oklahoma ' s gift to the women, or none other than William Carson, Esquire. He says, Am I supposed to pay you some money? I don ' t know. Are you? You don ' t know? Look here, you ' re Miss Donaldson; you admit that, don ' t you? Yes. Well, them guys where I live said I ' se supposed to pay my money to you. Um-hum. Let me see your cards. Cards? What kinda cards? I haven ' t got any cards. Well, you can ' t pay me anything until you register and see Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown? Whatta I have to see him for? What ' s registerin ' got to do with payin ' you, anyhow? You go across the hall and get a long white card like everyone else ' s got. Then find a teacher to help you decide what to take. When you get an approval of your schedule, go to the south office door and see Mr. Brown. Then you can bring me all your cards and your money and we ' ll see what I can do. How long ' N that take? Depends on how much trouble you have deciding what to take and how many people are ahead of you in getting to see Mr. Brown. By now, I ' d say there ought to be fifteen people ahead of you. Fifteen people! Looka here! I ain ' t got time to hang around here all mornin ' waitin ' to see a guy when all I need to do is pay you. I ' m not gonna work, anyhow. By this time, a line of freshmen has formed at the end of the desk. You ' d better run along and begin registering. That line ' s going to be longer than ever if you don ' t hurry. — Kay, come here and take these people ' s cards. Miss Donaldson is busily sorting registration cards. Dr. Wallace is in Prof. Hohn ' s office checking a senior schedule; at the typewriter near the vault we see Ralph Edwards typing book orders. Jorden Debban saunters in and asks for a time sheet. Miss Donaldson says, Haven ' t got any time sheets run off yet. Besides, you can ' t start working till Mr. Brown tells you to. Well, now, he told me to start puttin ' in time this afternoon. Several things needin ' to be done, Miss Donaldson. Forced to work today. I imagine that ' s the only way you ' ll ever work, too — is when somebody forces you to. Now, look, Miss Donaldson, I ' ll be forced to ask you to go to the show with me if you don ' t be more amiable. Forced to take you out tonight. What ' s this? Don ' t tell me you ' re not going to the ' Y ' Mixer tonight? Just think of all the little freshman girls you ' ll be depriving of a lovely time! Well, now that you put it that way — forced to change my plans, Miss Donald- son; forced to go to the party instead. Yeah— How about goin ' to the show next Wednesday, Miss Donaldson? ' Fraid not. The President ' s reception is going to be next Wednesday. Where ' s your school spirit, Mr. Debban? Ralph jumps up and knocks his chair over backwards as he becomes enthusiastic: Hey, ' Liza, I just got an idea! Why doesn ' t the bookstore sell green caps this year? I don ' t know! Why? Now, look, Miss Donaldson, the bookstore might as well make that money. I don ' t care who sells caps. I ' m not going to buy any. Why don ' t you go see Clifford if you want to sell caps? He probably knows some place you could buy them three for a dime. Might be a good idea if you inquired about a good second-hand furniture store, too. Dr. Wallace comes out of the vault just in time to see a trail of flying papers left by the departing whirlwind, and Eliza observes: Ooooh, that crazy boy! If he didn ' t go so fast, I ' d make him come back and pick them every one up. Never mind; I ' ll get them. Never mind, nothing! I wouldn ' t pick up his old papers. He can pick ' em up himself when he gets back. Look, ' Liza, I ' ve been trying to find the hectograph roll for fifteen minutes. Will you please tell me where it is? I can ' t keep on track of that ditto roll. Go look on the ditto machine in there. Someone used it this morning. If it ' s not there, I ' m sure I don ' t know where it is. She sits down at the adding machine and starts to tabulate. ' Liza, will you type these instructions for me? I want them tomorrow for my zoology class. This is a fine time to ask me to do your zoology instructions for you. I haven ' t got time. Besides, you ' re making me make mistakes. Do ' em yourself. Well, why don ' t you furnish me a secretary? It takes me forever to peck out these things myself. What do you think your wife ' d say if I got you the kind of secretary you want? Now, you quit bothering me or you ' ll have to have a secretary. — There! it ' s four-thirty, and I ' ve got to go to town before five o ' clock. Don ' t go away with- out throwing the lock. • It is the day before Homecoming. ' Liza is typing the chapel program. Clifford Cates comes in and picks up the time sheets. Who ' s signed out to work, ' Liza? I need someone to carry chairs from Clio to the dining hall. Well, I don ' t know who ' s signed out, Clifford. I think George Pimlott and Charles Haigh — and, oh, yes, Dick Snyder — Yeah, I saw Snyder coming from town about half an hour ago. Didn ' t look like he was raking many leaves to me. Here he ' s signed out till five o ' clock, too. I don ' t know what I ' m going to do about fellows signing in before they ' re finished working. . . . Say, ' Liza, will you call up Snyder and tell him I want him to come over here? Tell him I want him to do something. Well, Clifford, I ' m busy. Now, you call him yourself. I ' ve gotta go get the key to Clio from Barbara Boggess. You call Snyder and tell him to get — No, you ' d better call Tepatti, too. Tell them both to come over here and see me. Clifford, I ' m not going to make your telephone calls for you. If you want those boys, you sit right down and call ' em yourself! I ' ve gotta go get that key. Door slams. Clifford Oh, me! Tepatti comes in. Where ' s Clifford? Oh, he ' s gone over to the women ' s dormitory. He said he wanted to see me. Well, you ' ll have to wait till he comes back. He wants you to wash dishes in Mr. Hinson ' s place tomorrow. Shoot, no, I ' m not goin ' to wash dishes tomorrow. Think I wantta spend all afternoon in that dish-room? Man, that old dishwasher won ' t even get ' em clean when we ' ve got regular dishes 10 do. Them old dishes stacked clear to th ' ceil- ing — we never would get ' em clean. Well, you ' l! hove to see Mr. Brown about that. Well, I don ' t aim to wash dishes tomorrow. No, sir! Ycu tell him I said so. You ' d better tell him yourself. Door slams again. I wish that man would stay here and tend to his own business. Flossine Rule enters; she is obviously not in a good humor: What ' s Clifford going to do with the key to Clio Hall? Said he ' s going to have the chairs carried to the dining hall for tomorrow. He ' s got his nerve! Did he ask anyone if he could borrow Clio ' s chairs? Oh, I don ' t know. He went to borrow the key from Barbara. I suppose he ' ll ask her. I ' d like to know who he thinks he is! He uses the Hall all fall for chapel and doesn ' t ask us and gets our rug muddy and never offers to have it cleaned up. Now he ' s helping himself to our chairs. Some of these days he ' s going to make me so mad! I ' m going to tell him off. I sure won ' t be afraid to, either. Um-hum. Just wait till I see him! I ' m going to give him a piece of my mind! She bangs the door after her. I wish that Clifford would stay here and tak e care of his own business! Cannon is talking to Clifford in the south office. ' Liza is working over her account book. Kennedy has just come in brandishing an N. Y. A. check. Hello, Miss D. Is Mr. Broon around? Heh! heh! Did you notice how funny that sounded? ' Mr Broon aroun ' ? He ' s talking to Mr. Cannon. Are you in a good mood today, Miss D? Well, I ' m not; and if you don ' t hush, I ' m going to be in an awfully bad one shortly. Now, look Miss D., I was goin ' to pay you some money. But if you don ' t want it — How much ' re you going to pay me? $12.95. That ' s all I got — Just think how you ' re breakin ' me up! Yea — I ' m so sorry. Bet I ' m breakin ' your heart up, too! You know it! Oh, say, Miss D., that makes me think: I ' ve go t somethin ' for the office gals — see — kisses! Well, Isn ' t that just wonderful! How much did you say you ' re going to pay me? $12.95. While ' Liza is writing out the receipt, Cannon comes in from the south office and asks for the key to Clio Hall. Miss Donaldson replies, I don ' t give out keys just because someone wants them. What are you going to do with the key to Clio? The band ' s going to Dlay at the game tonight, and we need the chairs. Well, I guess. But don ' t be surprised if Miss Rule pulls about half your hair out. Oh, I can handle Sugar-plum all right. Why, I ' ll just pin her ears back and be done with her. She ' s a brat. Miss Thomas enters: You about ready to go to town, ' Lizc? Oh, I was until Mr. Kennedy paid me some money. Now, I ' ve got to go over a whole page here again. P. Wesley Yost opens the door and inquires, Prexy here? Oh, he took Clifford ' s car and went down town, and Clifford ' s been trying to find him all afternoon. I don ' t know where the man is. Well, Miss Donaldson, I need a haircut — need it badly. Um-hum. Look ' Liza, my spending money ' s all gone; could you loan me fifty cents so I can get it done now? You don ' t know how much I ' d appreciate it. I ' m sure you would. Oh, all right; get it out of my drawer there. Oh, thank you, Miss Donaldson; good-bye. Good-bye; and don ' t forget you owe me fifty cents! ' Liza Jane is typing at the typewriter by the vault. Clifford is working at his desk. Miss Thomas appears in the door. Is Clifford here? I want to see him about getting Tex Anderson to work on the stage for ' Our Town. ' S ' ppose he ' d lei him turn in time for it? He ' s put in his hours for play production already. Well, you can see him. I ' m sure I don ' t know what he ' ll do. Dr. Wallace enters with one arm full of carrots with tops showing and with one arm full of coffee. He looks over ' Liza ' s shoulder and remarks, Hello. What ' s this? Check for some money I owe you. 2.86? What do you owe me $2.86 for? Well, if I don ' t I ' ll be glad to take it back. You said I owed you $2.86. I remember, now, the $2.00; but what ' s the 86c for? Oh, I don ' t know. Something you bought at Heers ' . Say — are you the person who ' s been buying dog food? Yes, I bought some. Well, help us! We ' ve been trying for two weeks to find out about that dog food. I asked Clifford, and he didn ' t know; and Mrs. Hertenstein didn ' t know anything about it, either. If you don ' t quit buying things without telling us about it, we ' re going to shoot you. From the south office: Amen! Why ' Liza, I told you. You certainly did not. I did, too! Nooo, you didn ' t. The door blows checks al the office floor as it is slammed. 1. Tine Awkonsaw Travelers 2.

MAY QUEEN The South gave us our charming May Queen this year in the person of Bonnye Broadus, from Philadelphia, Mississippi. Bonnye has shewn versatility characteristic of a McKendree co-ed and May Queen. She has sung in the chorus and in the sextet, acted in an official capacity for the Y. W. C. A., has been elected to membership in Sigma Tau Delta, end has served as vice- president of Clio. By making the honcr roll, our May Queen has disproved the idea that brains and beauty cannot exist in the same place at the same time. Very graciously Bonnye presided over the Spring Fete. r MAY FETE The May Fete, an event so long traditional on McKendree ' s campus, but somewhat on the wane during the past few years, was observed with renewed emphasis this year, on May 14. Following the Senior Class Day program, held in the chapel in the morning, and the Tree Dedication and presentation of the Senior Class Gift to the college on the campus in the early afternoon, the Queen and her cortege marched to the music of the college band to the royal dais on the back campus at four o ' clock, where the Queen, Bonnye Broadus, was crowned by her Moid of Honor, Anna Lois Gann. After the coronation, there was held, for the entertcinment of the Queen, her attendants, and the assembled audience, folk games and the winding of the May pole by groups of college girls. The one-act fantasy, A Penny a Flower, by Katherine Kester was then presented by a mixed cast of college students. A dinner, honoring the Seniors, was held in Pearson ' s Hall at six o ' clock, attended by faculty and students, followed by a concert by the college band. Thus terminated a day not soon to be forgotten, particularly by the Class of ' 42. PATRON LIST MISS JUNE MILLER Lebanon, Illinois MR. G. G. FLESOR Tuscola, Illinois MRS.
