It is to those sons of our Alma Mater who have so courage- ously gone forth to defend, with their lives if need be, the liberties of all free men everywhere — to those who hove given most and asked least in return — WE DEDICATE THIS VOLUME. cppiotiaHt It is inevitable that in every college changes should occur in the teaching staff. These vacancies are filled and the work goes on as before. The administration is satisfied if the work is maintained at the desired standard of eff iciency. When Doctor James Cloy Dolley requested that he be granted the retired status, last June the College sustained a loss for which there was no compensation. Provision was made for the work of his department, but a landmark hod been removed. When, on February 6th, he departed from among the living the loss was made absolute. For forty-three years Doctor Dolley gave generously of his scholarship, counsel and friendship to hundreds whose lives were enriched, inspired and stabilized by his ministrations. Kindly and urbane by nature, his unaffected sincerity built for him o secure place in the affections of students and colleagues. hHe v os loyal to his high ideals in every depart- ment of his service. Hie served faithfully, uncomplainingly in some of the most difficult years of the life of the College. His services, his personality, his character have branded themselves on the memory of oil who love McKendree Col- lege. DR.

President CHARLES J. STOWELL, Ph.D. Dean If we work upon marble it will perish, if we work upon brass, time will efface it, if we rear temples they will crumble Into dust, but if we work upon immortal minds, if we imbue them with principles, with the just fear of God and love of our fellow man, we engrave on these tables some- thing that will brighten all eternity. • — Author unknown. It is nothing to give pension and cottage to the widow who has lost her son; it is nothing to give food and medicine to the workman who has broken his arm, or the decrepit woman wasting in sickness. But it is something to use your time and strength to war with the waywardness and thoughtlessness of mankind; to keep the erring workman in your service till you hove made him on unerring one, and to direct your fellow-merchant to the op- portunity which his judgement would have lost. — John Ruskin.

Beginning with its Freshman year the present Junior class has been outstanding. Through careful maneuvering, they were able to enjov the annual Freshman Feed without interruption by the upper-classmen. As Sophomores this class ' a hay-ride, an unusual activity on the campus. The Friday night All-College parties v ere begun in e spirits with the Class of ' 44 sponsoring one of their genuine hoy-rides, with hay, horses, chaperons, et cl. Time passes on, and so it seems that students do also. The Class of ' 44 began its career with an enrollment of fifty-seven for the Freshman year. After the Freshman thinning, there were thirty- five the second year. This year there were nmeteen in the class. From all appearances the number will decrease proportionately next year. The class of ' 44 has a good spirit of service In its attitude toward life. A number of the men who once answered to the roll coll of the Class of ' 44 ore now answering the Roll Call of the Colors. Of lost year ' s thirty-five students, six did not return because of service to the government; two because of teaching; two because of marriage; and two because of nurse ' s training. Among the numbers of the present class there ore five men In the Reserves, seven men serving as Student Min- isters, two women training for Deaconesses. Two men have left school for the Navy since September. McKendree Is proud of the service rendered by this class. Though, In number, the Class of ' 44 Is dlmlnlsnlng, the spirit of the class and its loyalty to McKen- dree Is ever the same. Waiting for the bell.

OIPHOMORiE CLASS SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY Last year ' s Freshman class of fifty husky lads and iimid lassies has dwindled down to a Sophomore class of twenty- four. To moke up for the decrease in numbers, the class has put forth twice as much effort as it might have ex- hibited in normal times. With their own successful picnic of last year, the hair- cuts, and the night rides in mind, the group initiated this year ' s greenies in proper style. The majority of the members of the class participate in the organizations and the out-side activities of the campus. Many of its members hold executive positions in the literary societies, the Y ' s, and on the staff of the Re- view. Sophomores are well-represented in sports, too. Just this year some of the boys hove been called into the armed services; others have enlisted in the reserves. Take notice of this class! You can tell the serious Senior By his grave and lordly airs You can always tell a Freshman By the colors which he weors You can tell the ardent Junior By his academic touch And you can tell o Sophomore But — you can not tell him much.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Last fall we, the Class of ' 46, enrolled as mem- bers of McKendree, just as our predecessors have done for the last one hundred and fifteen years. Like any other Freshman class, we were green about college life. We did not know what to ex- pect, or how we would fit into the college scene, but it was not long until we caught the spirit from our upperclass friends, and became a happy port of the college family. As we fell into step, McKendree traditions be- came our standards. Memories handed down through the years became our memories. Among them lies our initiation week durmg which many of us became personally acquainted with Lake Beau- tiful and the chapel belfry. Just as inspiring were our moonlight hikes. In our serious moods we selected our officers, and settled down to be worthwhile Freshmen. We were proud to take on active port in celebratmg the annual hHomecoming and in sponsoring an All- School play night. Our country has called a few of us to its de- fense, but we who remain hope, as our first year draws to a close, that McKendree has benefited by our having lived within her walls. To those who will soon take our places, we give our welcome as we pass on as upperclassmen to do greater service for the school we love, our Alma Mater. McK.

On that night the Freshmen removed their green caps for the last time. Then, with talent selected from thier own ranks, they presented the following program: Address of Welcome William Seorles Vocal Solo Wilma Bonney Trombone Solo Ruth Koerber Piano Solo Thelmo Young Vocal Solo Shirley Bergman Songs by Girls ' Sextette Ruth Koerber, Thelma Young, Shirley Miller, Betty Kirk, Shirley Bergman, Edna Kampmeyer Skit, Just A Love Nest , Betty Kirk, James Brooks, Marie Lueking.

Former Clionians joined with the society in the redecoration program of the hall. Each program has been prepared by the critics to give a wide variety in the display of talents. Most of the programs have a central theme around which a unification of thoughts is possible. Several well attended open sessions were held during the year. Nine members were pledged this year and Miss Conrow again was sponsor to our society. The year can be ended with a backward look of satisfaction, for Clio has again proved its right to niche on our hiill. PHILOSOPHIAN LITERARY SOCIETY In this, Philo ' s 106th year, many changes have occurred. Philo gave three men; Bernard Logan, James Oppitz, and Cyril Curtis to the services of our country and took six new mem- bers under its wing. Open sessions, the pledge banquet, and the regular weekly meetings have won Philo a dis- tinguished place on the campus again this year. We are proud to give men to the service of our country and feel that the training received in Philo will help them be of more value to the U. S. A. PLATONIAN LITERARY SOCIETY Plato this year, as was true in the past, was a literary society containing many athletes. Six of the seven basketball lettermen were Plotonians. Plato met Philo on the basketball floor as the feature of hHomecoming. Plato emerged victorious by a 50-33 score. Plato started the year with ten members. Four were pledged the first semester, and four more the second semester. Only six of these eighteen will be lost by graduation. This year, Plato hall was completely redec- orated. With the contributions of many old Plotonians, a new floor was laid and walls and ceiling were refinished. As long as there is a McKendree, Plato will be in there pitching. Relaxed.

Many of the students of the campus feel the need of meditation before the hurry of the day begins, and they hove found the morning prayer meetings the answer to their needs. These have been inspirational and helpful to the cam- pus life. The Witnessing Bond has been active this year, although handicapped by gas rationing. Members hove held services in ten churches. This year Sigma Beta Rho has had a new activity In its program, the Gospel Quartet, which sang or conducted services in twenty-one churches where they were given a fine welcome. SIGMA TAU DELTA This is the seventh year of the Sigma Tou Delta chapter on the campus. The meetings ore held at the home of Dr. West and consist of reports on current books of lasting interest. The induction ceremony for four new mem- bers was held April 12. The purpose of the society is to enjoy litera- ture and to create the desire to write. SIGMA ZETA The Sigma Zeto honorary science society is a national organization whose purpose is to encourage scientific study and to recognize stu- dents of high scholorship in the natural sciences and mathematics. The Beta Chapter at McKendree College was organized in 1926. The Chapter opened the school year 1942- 1943 with four active members: J. Frank Glot- felty, Paul Griffin, Russel Drennon, and Dr. Stowell. During the year the following new pledges were initiated: Cyril Curtis, Robert Donnebrink, Ross Hortin, James Loy, Malcolm Myres, and Earnest Smith. Dr. E. R. Spencer and Professor S. M. McClure have retained their membership in the Beta Chapter. Dr. Spencer ' s work on Just Weeds has become widely known. Professor McClure has devised a system for the classification of geological specimens, which was used in organi- zing the Waggoner Collection at McKendree College, and has since been used to classify a similar collection at Boll State Teachers ' College, Muncie, Indiana. The Chapter has revived the Waggoner Memorial Award, which is given each year to some student in recognition of outstanding scientific work. The winner of the award will be announced at the Commencement exercises. °. Baker, Bruning, N.

Dreaming o a white campus Funnies fans Stage Stooges The goals of the Association: 1. To understand the work of the area, and of the Y. W. in general 2. To promote an interest In world citizenship. These were studied and well carried out through the regular meetings held each Wednesday night. The association fulfilled its requirements to become a participating Y in the National Organization. Several of the offi- cers attended a conference in November at Macomb. They also plan to send a represen- tative to the Loke Geneva Conference during the Summer. The Y. W. porticlpated with the Y. M. and the Administration In the sacrificial meal for the W.S.S.F. Many of Its members were blood donors for the Red Cross. For the children in the mountain districts of the South, it sent a box of toys from the Y Christmas party and later a box of Children ' s books. For war work a few of its members knitted for Red Cross. It also co-operated with the Y. M. In planning social activities for the campus. Y. M. C. A. Early in the school year Dr. hiarold Colvin, regional secretary of the Y.M.C.A. visited our campus, and after talking with him our Y voted to become affiliated with the national student Y group. They were instrumental in getting for a chapel speaker. Dr. Wilhelm Solzbocher, a represen- tative of the World Student Service Fund. After hearing his presentation of the work and of the urgent need for funds to corry on, the Y.M. in co-operation with the Y. W. and the college administration, arranged for the students and faculty members to observe a sacrificial meal. Income of which was $21.00, which was sent into the national headquarters of W.S.S.F. UTTLE THEATRE The dramatics organization, Little Theatre, grew to be a large group by the second semester for its membership increased from four to twenty-five. The regular meeting programs were well planned and well attended throughout the year. The open sessions revealed talent and the party sponsored in March was a huge success. It was on active organization, for it worked with the play-production class in sponsoring the Homecoming play, What A Life, the Christ- mas ploy, No Room In The hHotel, The Chal- lenge Of The Cross, and the one-act spring plays. It took time, effort, and talent, but It was worth it all, from the viewpoints of participants and audiences. 26 Ball, Harshbarger, Koerber, Bcnney, Mrs. Hetenstein, Hauser, Slephens, Miss Charles, Kampmeyer, Miss Conrow, Kirk, Barger, Miller, Veotch.

The senior members who will receive valuable emblems ore Ross hlortin, Lewis Winterrowd, James Loy, Malcolm Myres, Donald Hartman and Paul Griffin. The election and the crowning of the hHome- coming Queen was sponsored by the club. The queen was elected by popular vote instead of the money vote as formerly done. Shirley Bergman, o Freshman from Belleville, reigned as queen of hHomecoming activities. REVIEW STAFF The McKendree Review has been serving the college for twenty-two years. The Review is published every two weeks of the school year except during vacations. The staff, which has been quite active this year, is composed of the members of the classes in journalism. The editorial positions are open only to those students who hove completed the course in elementary journalism. hHowever, anyone interested in journalistic writing may serve as a reporter.

BOYS ' QUARTET This fine group of men ' s voices sang at various churches and gatherings throughout the school year. They were also wel- comed at entertoinmenls on the Hill many times.

The members were very sorry to see Miss Ridgway leave, but they were happy to welcome Mrs. Lesher who has been a charming and capable director. The Glee Club this year has visited the Methodist Churches in East St. Louis, Granite City, and Centralia. The members also song at our own Methodist College Church in Lebanon, and at chapel services. Six concerts were scheduled for April, and on May 26, the Glee Club presented on oratorio by Mendel- ssohn, The hHymn of Praise. A public recital of piano and voice students was also held in May. One of the highlights of our social func- tions was the moonight skating party at Troy, Illinois. Another entertainment was the tea which the music department gave the first of May. GIRLS ' SEXTETTE Six interesting personalities blend into a group of lovely voices chosen from the Glee Club to make up the sextette. This chorus sang at Edwordsville, Wood River, and East Alton on April II. They also toured numerous high schools, and they song at Scott Field one night. STUDENT-FACULTY COUNCIL The Student-Faculty council has served this year in the capacity of Go-between . Prob- lems of facul+y and students were presented, considered, and acted upon. At Homecoming, plans for the occasion were delegated to com- petent committees that did their port in making it a grand success. A petition from the stu- dent body fcr changing the spring vacation period was presented. After passing the council, the administration approved, and the new dote was set. Members of the council were chosen with representatives from the two halls, the student body, the commuters, and those living in Lebanon. These met with selected f aculty members to discuss problems, needs and im- provements. The council is a means of demo- cratic thinking and living on the campus. Yes, George?

Three of these, Shirley Miller, Gehl Devore and Earnest Smith, were initiated into the Alpha Theto cast at an initiation service held at the home of Mrs. Grace Renner Welch on February 24th. Miss Marion Conrow and Frances Robinson were also inltioted ot the some time, both having become eligible at an earlier date. A social evening followed this Initiation. There was a program and social meeting held at the home of Miss Alleen Wilson In April and the May meeting took the form of a garden party to which members brought guests. BETA BETA BETA Tri Beta Is an honorary biological fraternity, established in colleges granting the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Science degrees. Students who ore definitely interested in ad- vancing science and In studying the natural or biological and allied sciences, compose its membership. The McKendree College chapter at the time of the printing of the McKendreon, has just been established. Four meetings have been held. Two sessions per month ore being planned at which interesting scientific facts will be presented and discussed, or field trips taken to Shaw ' s Gardens in St. Louis, to visit the large St. Louis hospitals, to see their equipment and to other scientific places. A party was given by Miss Charles, at which Dr. E. Spencer was the guest speaker. BAND Among the outstanding social activities on the campus, Cannon ' s band has a hand. It helped to create on Interest and did much to develop school spirit. The monthly pop con- certs were entertaining and the social hours following were fun. Both the Homecoming and the Spring con- certs were successful in their presentations. The reed sextette within the band is the something new that has been added. A great deal of new music was purchased and forced extra hours of practice, but the practice was not in vain, for all who heard the bond appreciated the talent displayed, and Mr. Cannon ' s inter- pretations.

Inexperience and height were the factors that kept the Purple and White from having a winning com- bination. The squad trained hard and fought valiantly all season, and there has never been a team on the campus that has known more companionship and mutual-dependence than the war-time Purple and Whites. THE KITTYCUBS That hord-fightlng bunch of girls that scrap on the hardwood under the banner of the Kittycubs have chalked up another successful year. Because of gas and tire rationing the team was unable to leave the campus. The town girls afforded many a moment of play. Only one member of the varsity will graduate in June, so the ' 43- ' 44 team should hit the hardwood In tip-top shape. W. A. A. The Women ' s Athletic Association raised its membership from eight to thirteen. Initiations were fun and the programs were interesting. The after Christmas gift exchange party was novel, to soy the least. We all enjoyed the skating party that W.A.A. sponsored at Troy, and the splash party was refreshing after the final semester exams and just before the old school bell dismissed activities for the year.

Archie was short, but he was fast and cagey. He was a vicious fighter and had good scoring ability, hie played brilliant boll in the Blackburn game. Archie still hos plenty of time to show the basketball world his abilities. He has 3 more years of basketball aheod of him. Captain Lewis Winterrowd, Senior, Bible Grove, Center, Third-year letterman. Again the squad was led by Lewie. He set an excellent example for the rest of the squad to follow. He played under the handicap of two bad ankles all season, but he never gave up or complained. No matter what the score might be, Lewie drove hard and did his best to win. He was the leading scorer and key-man of the Bearcats. Lewie played brilliantly in the tournament at Blackburn. It will be very hard to replace Lewie next year at the center position. Although he leaves, we know he will always be bock of the Mc- Kendree team. Lewie ' s spirit, fight and ability will live on in the minds of his teammates. Paul Salmon, Sophomore, Mound City, Guard, First-year letterman. As a first-year letterman Jock played exceptionally good boll. He ployed a consistent gome at guard and could always be counted upon to bring the boll across the line. Jock played his best game against Centralia Junior College. He has two more years with the cagers and should be an essential man in building the future teams. Don Harmon, Junior, Louisville, Guard, First-year letterman. Don was one of the most dependable men on the Bearcats. He always played a cool, steady gome and he always deposited his share of points and played good defensive boll of all times. He will be back next year and should be the nucleus around which the team can be built. Fletcher Burge, Freshman, Eldorado, Forword, First-year letterman. Fletch was one of the high scorers of the Cats. He was consistent in his ploy, both on offense and defense. He was on artist on one-hand shots. He was even-tempered and always took things in stride. He still has three years and will undoubtedly prove himself a valuable asset to the McKendree cagers in years to come. Arthur hiinson. Junior, Madison, Guard, First-year letterman Stinky was short, but fast and aggressive. He played to win and gave the game all he hod. He started ' off as manager and then turned in tiis first-aid kit for a suit. He sow quite a bit of action, and proved himself on essential port of the team. He was always In good physical condition and ready to go. He still has another year and should go places In basketball. James Loy, Senior, Effingham, Guard, First-year letterman. Jim was a key man In the Cots defense. He was always alert and fighting. He played to win and always gave all he hod. He played exceptionally well in the tournament at Blackburn in February. He will be sadly missed by his teammates when the season rolls around next year. 36 INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL Two intramural basketball tournaments have been held this year. The first was won by Don Harmon ' s team. In the second tournament, Surge ' s and Myres ' teams are tied for the lead. Intramurals this year have brought good spirit to the campus, many fellows played basketball in the tournameni- that never played before. Intramurals are valuable in many ways and should continue on the campus in years to come. As part of the Homecoming program, the traditional rivalry between the literary so- cieties was meted out in the form of a basketbal game. Plato defeated their arch- rivals, Philo, in the game played on Novem- ber 14, 1942, the score being 50-33. Plato jumped into on early lead and was never threatened by Philo. Myres was the big gun for Philo with 16 points. Salmon, Winter- rowd, and Keck each collected 12 points for Plato. Plato ' s basketball team had every- thing including a water-girl in the form of Bugs Bergman. Box Score: PLATO Player— Pos. Fg. Ft. TP.

Of course our hero, hHenry Aldrich, tries to set a shining example for his classmates! The example which he actually succeeds in setting, results in numerous bench-warmings In Mr. Bradley ' s office. Because of Barbara Pearson, Hlenry has a misunderstanding with his history teacher. Finally, heart-rending problems are solved, but not until his escapades have led to such complications that the audience has hod many good laughs. The cost was well-chosen, and we agree that this play truly deserves its tit le, What A Life.

CHALLENGE OF THE CROSS At the beginning of the school year, college members of the young Peoples ' League at the Methodist Church presented an interesting pageant entitled, The Challenge of the Cross . The message of this ploy is: If any man would come after me, let him deny him- self and take up his cross daily, and follow me. Luke 9:23. CAST The Evangel .

Costs were not yet selected. 39 Hi ECOMIING U Miss Shirley Bergman, a quiet dignified Freshman, has captivated many a heart on this Old hiill, and she reigns supreme as our Homecoming Queen of October, 1942. Her popularity was proved by the fact that her election, which was sponsored by the M Club, was the result of popular vote. As Dr. Yost presented the bouquet of roses to our lovely Queen at the informal ceremony in Eisenmier, he paid a worthy compliment to the Queens of both this yeor and last v hen he said: Lost year our Queen had hair radiant as if distilled of a thousand sunsets. This year our Queen has beauty with the darker shades like a painting from the Old Dutch Masters, and a voice lovely as the sound of many waters — our Minne-ha-ha, Shirley Bergman.

So a buck sergeant wearing a moldy old Bearcat T-shirt says to his almost constant companion, a Model-T corporal who has a crooked nose from the Shurtleff gome in 1941, I wonder what the gang is doing at the Coke ' N ' Smoke about now! They ore lying in a muddy fox hole on Guadoconol, but they might just as well be crawling on their bellies in Lake Beautiful — certainly the mosquitoes, couldn ' t be any worse! You see, these boys ore McKendreons too, but they don ' t have to worry about taking more than their quota of chapel cuts nor getting up for those miserable 7:40 ' s — we have a guy with a brass horn who takes core of getting the boys u p on time. For every degree that is handed out when our class marches into the Chapel for the last time, there is at least another member of that rough and tough fightin ' forty-third out there some- where — maybe flying a PBY on coastal patrol, maybe jeeping along the African desert, maybe holding hands with some WAAC in the service club. His job is not confined to such tasks as raking leaves, sweeping out the halls over in Old Main, or washing up the pots and pons in MeKendree ' s mess hall — there ' s no Clifford Cotes to spur him on to the higher things in life nor a Liza Jane to haggle with over time sheets. His job is far from completion; he ' s counting on our V-7 and ERC boys to carry on with the work he has already started. How con you beat a bunch of guys who used to sing My Gal Sol out on the football field when the going got a little rough? The same spirit that mode our McK ' ers s tand up on their hind legs and bellow for their rights although miserably outclassed and out numbered is now at work for Uncle Sam. How can we lose? This class of ' 43 might well be termed the War Class. Less than a week after Hitler ' s goose-stepping divisions marched unexpectedly into Poland, this class was going through the tedious ordeal of registering for its first semester in college. Yes, it ' s been almost four years. We saw the Finns and the Russians fight, we stood by as Japan plundered and raped innocent China, we learned of the treachery of the fifth column in Norway, we saw the blitzkreig overwhelm bewildered France, we sweated through Dunkirk, we withstood the terrific pounding of the Luftwaffe on the tight little island, our blood boiled at Coventry and later at Lidice, we welcomed the occupation of Iceland, and we started buying defense stamps. With o personal interest we experienced the first peace-time draft in the history of our country, we argued pro and con on lend-lease, we approved Pan-Americanism, we voted for Wendell Wilkie and elected Roosevelt for a third term, we watched Hitler knife Joe Stalin in the back only to become mired down in Napoleon ' s foot- steps — we cussed and raved and ranted over Japanese treachery and the ruthless ossult on Pearl Harbor. Even Dean Stowell dismissed his class to listen to the Congress declare war. You all know the rest of the story. ENIIOR CLA TORY ASHBY MITCHELL BRAUER MILLER Not so long ago these things were rather far away from us: other things were of more Importance. If, however, we were to approach our sergeant in the Guadaconal fox hole, he could tell us far more about Herb Gould ' s stall system of basketball thon he could about the weaknesses of the Maglnot Line. Do you think those guys bull about the Italian navy, or do they talk about the good old days back on the hiill when broads were broads and men were not 4-F? So before we forget about this forty-third let ' s go back to do a little reminiscing — because after all, isn ' t one of the four freedoms the right to hold bull sessions whenever one pleases. Do you remember that siege of registration we went through — tests, orientation, inter- views, the Y-mixer, the President ' s reception, and the free show, down at the Alamo — Good Bye, Mr. Chips, If we recall correctly. It was all so confusing, but we didn ' t mind. We were new at this game, and eoger to learn. And do you remember our election of bashful Jungle Jim Agles as our president and how they ' d always kidnap him when we were going to have a meeting? And what about that miserably rainy Monday night we gathered in that tiny garage right off Lebanon ' s great white way and went out to the overhead to hold what was conceded to be the least success- ful Freshman party in the history of the school? We ' ll never forget how Worry Wart Ashby, our custodian of the Bear, got three rides that night because he beat the upperclassmen back to school every time they took him out. And do you remember Ray Brouer, our ex-bartender, Johnnie Rawlin- son. Mace Petty, Big Don Mohan, Moggie hHursey, that pleasing personality, and all the rest of our colorful greenies. htow proud we were of those green cops we paid o buck for, and we tipped them too, more diligently than has any class that has followed us. And soy, what about that Chapel pro- gram we presented starring Wang de Gong Griffin and Meece (half moose — half mouse) Tim- mons, Timmons and Braeutlgam and the motorcycles they later traded for Gl aircraft, the winter it got so cold we had to wear pajamos under our slacks, and the death of the social fraternities? And didn ' t we hold the first celebration of Sadie HIawkins Week? Of course, things we will not soon forget were Al Johnpeter and his Mudcats, the Bearcat Special Bus, the first celebration of the Happy Founders ' Day, our siege of rots, and not two-legged ones either, the way Helen Mitchell used to faint In class and how we ' d cover her up and just go on as though nothing had happened — the thrill of living beneath the canopy of green that first spring of ours on the beautiful Mc- Kendree campus. We were a fresh bunch, but McKendree soon felt our presence — without Cor- zine, Griffin, Hortin, the Timmons boys. Petty, Hartman, Braeuti gom, and the rest of our athletes the Review ' s sports page might just as well hove been edged In black; we won the Dorris Oratori- cal contest that first year; and we soon took over positions of leodership in all of the organizations and activities. 42 ENIIOR CLA And then came our second year with Paul Griffin as our president. We recall the way My Gal Sol helped us lick Mission House end LaSolle-Peru and how Sol became the sweet- heart of the campus, the hayride our class sponsored, how Prof. Hardy and the boys used to go out for on afternoon of Nub Nub, the game in which Don Hortmon lost fourteen pounds and still weighed more than two-hundred, the new McKendree Bookstore now carrying the largest stock in history, those Mondoy mornings after glee club trips, the night Oakland City scored I I I points ogainst the hungry five, the Bowler-Bowler-Bowier romance, Philo, Plato, and Clio ' s invasion of Hotel Melbourne in St. Louis for a formal banquet, Louis Winterrowd ' s great struggle to put on weight, those dormitory hair-cuts we used to get for fifteen cents with a worn-out shirt thrown in, and the many other things that make college life so interesting. With Griffin once again at the helm we literally took over the campus our Junior year — the Seniors were too busy planting trees and picking out graduation announcements. More of the members of our class were literary society members than was true of any of the other classes in school and we held important positions in these organizations, too. We hod several fingers, and in some cases even a thumb, in every pie that formed the McKendree activity picture. We weren ' t too busy leading the glee clubs and quartettes, captaining the basketball team, editing the Review, compiling the annual, serving on the Focuolty-Student council, and doing the million and one things that send one ' s grades to the depths — we weren ' t too busy to hove fun. Do you remem- ber how we used to get a gong up and go downtown for a PC, and how we used to cut Religion on Wednesday mornings so we could listen to the new selections, on the vie down at the grill, that night Philo served cider and vitamin pills for open session? Thot was the year Salmon ' s Freshmen pulled a fast one by holding their party in the middle of the night. It was our lost season of football — we had sixteen on the team and that included the coach, Mrs. Scholl, the woter-boy, and Frank Harris. The team was kicked around all yeor but did plenty of kicking in return. And what about that Screwy Whiskey Shoots lingo. Gay and Debbon forced Into the McKendrean ' s venacular. After December 7th we found McKendreons one-by-one dropping out of school or enlisting, in various reserve corps. The Forty-third answered with Timmons, Record, and Broeutlgam to the Naval Air Corps, Myres and Curtis to the Army Air Force, and Hortin, Hartmon, Loy and Agles to the Naval Reserve. In addition, we already hod men serving from Australia to Cairo, from Icelond to Shongrl-Lo. Even by stretching our imagination, this past year could hardly be compared with Custer ' s lost stand, but things hove been different what v ith V-moil, rotioning — and no Tepatti. We mode it through, however, and with the proverbial flying colors, too. Paul Baker and Cyril Curtis were elected as presidents of the McKendree Association. Our class officers were Jim Agles, Presi- dent; Ross Hortin, Vice-President; Frankie Robinson, Secretory-Treasurer; with Jim Loy, a third- termer capably filling the post of Sergeont-at-orms. Ethel Dewhirst was our lovely Queen of the May. Our Homecoming was still a gay affair and the Forty-third led the way In the fashion parade the day before. HISTORY n ji BRAEUTIGAM TIMMONS TEPATTI REGARD Our little bull session has been sketchy to soy the least. We might toss orchids to Curtis and Chadwell on their scholarship, to LaVerne for her sincerity, to Winterrowd for his basketball record, to Fronkie for her spirit, to Griffin for being an all-around good guy, to Myres for his nose — but this could go on indefinitely. We lost ogood friend ond another good guy In Dr. Dolley. Of course, we weren ' t always a bunch of angels. hHow about that fight we had In the Chapel when footlights were popping like a machine gun, or that sign we out up on the girls ' dorm that night, or the time spontoneous combustion burst forth in the Review office, those victory hair-cuts the Freshmen asked us to give them, the night the football team was locked out of the dining hall, the formation of the ITK ' s — the Intelligence, Temperance, the Kindness boys, or the time Coach Gould ordered us to get the referee on the next play, or the way we used to steal over to classes after cutting a 7:40 or 8:35 for fear we would meet the teacher face to face, or the ofternons we used to hitch over to St. Louis to visit the legitmate theatre, or all those songs we used to sing on football trips, how we used to go out for those early morning swims out at the Country Club, or the night we serenaded the girls from atop the dining hall, the day Braeutlgam dive-bombed the Chapel, our first good-night kiss beneath those bright lights over at Clark Hall, and all the time we were yelling for a dim-out, and those many dates that were kept over at the library and not downtown or out beneath the moon because of study hours. Undoubtedly, we put our shore of grey hairs in Dr. Yost ' s head! The Fighting Forty-third has been a great class — few could boast of having so many mem- bers carrying on extra-curricular activities in so many parts of the world. She has been important to McKendree because she is McKendree herself — a group of hearty youngsters fighting on against tremendous odds, fighting for their very existence, but ever confident of the victory in sight — and always cheered on by their Comrades in Arms.

True worth is in being, not seeming, — In doing, each day that goes by. Some little good — not in dreaming Of great things to do by and by. — Alice Corey. Our Queen was elected from the Senior class of 1943 to reign as royalty at the annual May Day celebration. May 14. In the morning the Seniors presented a program in the Chape!, representative of the talent and ability of their group. Following the Class Day program they were accorded the usual Senior privilege of a free day . Early in the afternoon, the student body as- sembled on the campus for the Senior Tree dedica- tion and the presentation of the Senior gift. Later in the afternoon, the Queen, Ethel Dewhirst, together with her train, wended her way to the throne on the front campus where the Queen was crowned by her Maid of Honor, Frances Robinson. Then followed special entertainment for the Queen and her following, together with the assem- bled spectators. This consisted of the traditional winding of the Maypole, and morris dances by girls of the various classes. A one-act play, a fontosy, by Rachel Field entitled The Londonderry Air, was then enacted by a cost of four students. At six o ' clock the faculty and students attended the Senior dinner in Pearson ' s Hall. May Day on McKendree ' s campus is a day for remembrance. TREE DEDICATION INVOCATION LoVerne Book MUSIC Sextette REMARKS Professor Hohn PRESENTATION OF TREE Ross Hortin RESPONSE Dr. Yost ALMA MATER WHO ' S WHO Who ' s Who Among Students In American Universities, and Colleges, is a publication sponsored by six hundred colleges and universities to give national recognition to graduates of unusual potentialities for leadership. LaVERNE BOOK LaVerne ' s unflinching adherence to the highest Ideals of Christianity is the quality which above all, gives her a place of leadership at McKendree. in a day when moral standards are often shifty, she has remained steadfast. PAUL M. GRIFFIN When, lost year, Wang was hurt In an explosion in the Chemistry lab, then did we realize how much he is loved by everyone. We tried to take stock on his value, and we decided that above good scholarship, and above good sportsmanship, the fact that each of us felt him to be our special friend meant that he is about as companion- able as a person can be. PAUL BAKER During the two years that Paul has been among us he has assumed a very natural position of influence, because he was more widely read and more experienced than many students who are just out of high school. Any campus would be lucky to have such a man as Paul, and his record on McKendree campus gives evidence that we know his worth. CYRIL CURTIS Cyril Curtis was on almost letter perfect student who literally did everything right, and that, in anybody ' s esti- mation, might have made him into a bore, but instead, it makes him Into one of the finest fellows who has ever gone to school on our Old Hill. Now he Is working for Uncle Sam, and we know that McKendree can send no finer man to the army. CHARLES CHADWELL McKendree expects big things of Chad, for here on the campus, he has proved that brains and leadership go hand in hand. His formula seems to be to tackle big jobs that demand all sorts of Initiative, and then admit of no fizzle, but simply make a success. lit M F Mr. Donald Nothdurft Boston, Massachusetts Miss Myra Jeanes Staunton, Illinois Mr. H.
