In a spirit of cooper- ation and to more effectively advance the pur- poses for which they were founded, the various sororities of the country have provided a na- tional clearing house for inter-sorority prob- lems. The local Pan-Hellenic Council is affil- iated with this National Congress. In pursuing these aims, the Monmouth College Council holds regular monthly meetings and discusses questions of interest to the different groups. This organization links together the active chapters, alumnae, the National Pan-Hellenic Congress and the college administration. As an organization Pan-Hellenic has spon- sored a number of social events throughout the year. In October a tea was held at Hawcock ' s for all new women on the campus. In Febru- ary the Interfraternity Council was entertained at dinner in McMichael Home. A tea in honor of former dean of women. Miss Mary Ross Potter, was held in March. Pan-Hellenic Council has done much toward making life easier and less complex for Mon- mouth ' s freshman girls, and providing a help- ful, wholesome atmosphere for all the college women. Officers President Edward Barron Secretary Lawrence Pogue The Interfraternity Council is all that its name implies — a council for the discussion and solution of interfraternity problems. Com- posed of representatives from each of the three Monmouth fraternities, it unifies these differ- ent groups. It helps to promote a spirit of fel- lowship and good will on the campus. All of the various questions which come to its atten- tion are considered at the monthly meetings. Like all other human institutions, the Coun- cil is busier at some times than at others. One of its most active periods is during the first few weeks of school, when it directs the rushing of new members of the various fraternities. In collaboration with Dean Cleland it determines and enforces rules of conduct. Different days of the final week are allotted to each fraternity and for the last two days a period of quiet is ob- served. For some time a plan similar to Dr. Murray ' s popular exchange night has been practiced by the fraternities. Under the sponsorship of the Council some members of each group from time to time exchange meals with the other groups, thus widening the sphere of fellowship of each fraternity.

Their leadership in spiritual and religious activities is invaluable. Their lively coopera- tion with every undertaking for the improve- ment of Monmouth College does much toward that end. Their interests are as numerous and varied as their opportunities to serve. Do you want to find a telephone number? — See the Y Red Book. Do you feel the need for a bit of religion? — Attend the Monday night C. C. A. Do you have an old book to sell? — Take it to the semi-annual Y. book sale.

Officers President Paul Barnes Vice President Lowell McConnell Secretary AUyene Norris Treasurer James Marshall In the preamble of the Monmouth Student Association constitution the purpose of the organization is stated to be to further the spirit of unity and cooperation by bringing the stu- dents into one organized body to establish defi- nite relations between that body and the fac- ulty. This aim of cooperation between the student body and the administration and faculty has not been fully realized, but the significance of such a movement has been felt by the student body and its representatives. The Honesty Campaign which was started last year and suc- cessfully expanded this year is a definite step in that direction. The questionnaires on curricu- lum and teaching methods were also an attempt at closer relations between students and faculty. The Leap Year weekend is an example of what the student body can do in the line of social activity. These steps are small but indicate what can be done by a student government which will real- ize the place it might occupy in the affairs of the school. A student council made up of the intelligent, interested, aggressive leaders, such as have represented the student body this year, are a strong force in making a better Monmouth. It is up to the students to take an interest in keeping the activity and membership of the student council on a high level.

And, like those fortunate people who have earned the right to join, it succeeds splendidly in fulfilling this aim. The requirements in character, schol- arship and ability exceed those of the National honorary society, Phi Beta Kappa — to whose honored ranks the local chapter soon hopes to belong. Those juniors and seniors who have success- fully achieved the standards of the society are publicly recognized on Scholarship Day. This is held once each semester with an impressive ceremony and is distinguished by an outstanding speaker. At the same time the Kiwanis Schol- arship cups are awarded to the fraternity and sorority with the highest average for the pre- ceding semester. Scholarship day is climaxed with a banquet, honoring the new members and the freshmen who have made the honor roll. In addition to the active student members, the organization is composed of several faculty, Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi members. The members of Sigma Omicron Mu on the Monmouth campus typify the spirit of progress and culture which is their goal. As a group they exert an unobtrusive but powerful influence for intelligent, successful. Christian living. Officers President Dorothy Field Vice President Cleo Stephens Secretary Sarabelle McCleery Treasurer Ruth Wagner Program Chairman Evelyn Stice Social Chairman Evelyn Ruskin Faculty Adviser Dr. L. E. Robinson Rho Alpha of Sigma Tau Delta, the national professional English fraternity, was established on Monmouth campus in 1926. The three- fold purpose of this fraternity is: To promote the mastery of written expression, to encourage worthwhile reading, and to foster a spirit of fel- lowship among those specializing in the English language and literature. The society meets monthly at the homes of various members with an occasional dinner at Hawcock ' s. At all meetings original papers and reviews of current literature are presented by the members. Each year the organization sponsors a fresh- man contest to promote the art of creative writ- ing: awards for which are made at commence- ment time. The organization also contributes to the orig- inal program given by the Art and Literature division of the local chapter of American Asso- ciation of University Women. This year Sigma Tau Delta has planned to publish a magazine devoted to student compo- sitions. Such a publication, it is hoped, will foster creative writing. Membership in Sigma Tau Delta is limited to twenty-five majors and minors in English. Those students who have shown creative and critical ability, who have had articles published in school or home papers, and whose scholarship is above C are considered for membership. Admission is granted only to those who re- ceive a unanimous ballot.

This edition represents the forty- third edition of that publication. The first book contained 130 pages with much editorial matter, few pictures, and several zinc etchings. Books since that time have varied greatly in size, shape, make-up, and quality — the shelf on which they reside in the library more nearly resembling a museum of contrasting specimens than any- thing else. The only other edition to have a burlap cover was brought out in 1912. During the war pub- lication was made with some difficulty because of financial stress. Books of those years were symbolically bound in khaki. Economic diffi- culties seem to have hounded the editor and bus- iness manager ever since they were initiated dur- ing the war. Usually, the junior publishers are not expected to return for their senior year. Some considered themselves lucky to be able to finish the junior year. Perhaps the best book to have ever been pub- lished is The 1931 Ravelings, edited by Rus- sell M. Jensen and Glenn A. Kniss. Using the Fighting Scots as a theme and the slogan, For- ward, they are ours, the book won All-Ameri- can ranking from the National Scholastic Press Association. Publication of The 1937 Ravelings has in- volved something unique in plan and color in order to give an accurate pictorial history of the school year.

A small knot of students is gathered in the front en- trance of the library building . . waiting . . waiting. At length their vigil is ended — the weekly supply of Oracles arrives, they march out with their copies, and spread the word among their friends: Oracles are out. Traf- fic on the basement stairs carries a peak load for a short time, and soon the issue is entirely de- livered. Who made The Seer ' s column this week? Who ' s the Satellite? These features, new to this year ' s Oracle, have succeeded in arousing considerable student interest, and quite frequent- ly provide topics of conversation for at least a few hours. Another popular feature of last year, a sports column, likewise maintained a high pitch of interest. This year ' s Oracle also has placed a high premium on human interest and feature stories An effort was made to dress up each issue with at least one story outside the realm of straight news. In its editorial policy, the Oracle has backed a platform adopted at the beginning of the year: Student honesty 100%. activities for all, and longer dorm hours. It has cooperated with the student council in furthering the first point and the second is being taken care of by natural evo- lution, but little progress has been made in at- taining the third.

The setting — Monmouth College, the year 1935 — the characters, the Freshmen. The curtain rose on the freshman mixer — followed immediately by the all-school walk- out , enabling frightened freshmen to become acquainted with urbane upper classmen. Elec- tion of class officers — the comforting tutelage of Big Sisters and the helpful advice of faculty and friends enabled the class of 1939 to start its long journey toward graduation. The next scene — feminine players cleverly costumed in huge plaid tams — their male es- corts scowling defiantly from beneath over-seas caps of the same material. The famous fresh- man hat scene — so oft repeated and so well re- membered. The next few scenes — stage director familiar- ly known as L ' Administration — Presented short sketches of fraternity parties — freshman open houses — Y. W. and Y. M. — Pep Club members accepted — Band and Orchestra try- outs — quavering do-re-mi ' s and Lend me thine ears as dauntless freshies looked for new fields to conquer in the musical world. Teas for the women — rush parties for the men. Final decisions by men and fraternity pledging. At last — after days of false rumors and eager anticipation — sophomore colors lowered as the freshmen emerged battered but victorious from the Pole Scrap. Rain — cold and dismal — fell steadily. The next scene — Homecoming. Innovation of fresh- man stunt — Sunnyside proud winner of first place in house decorations. Later — mid-semester grades. Quick recovery, resultant appearance of pledge pins in feminine realm. Formal party for pledges and Y. W. Big Sisters. Mob scene presented. Freshman football players — stars from Missouri. Pennsylvania, Illinois — victorious over Knox first year team — defeated by Bradley. Twenty-nine numeral sweaters awarded — good prospects for next year ' s varsity. Thanksgiving Day — turkey dinners — be- loved freshman hats laid aside forever. Short intermission — Christmas holidays. The production marches on. Study hour at fraternity house and dormitory. Two boys — grim, unshaven — fiercely pulling their hair. Two girls — fevered, muttering, haggard-eyed, staring hopelessly at their littered desks. Exams! Second semester opens. Four men — Frederick Foster, Dean Keach, Eldon Stevenson, George Ziegler — initiated into Phi Eta Mu — National scholastic fraternity. Twelve freshmen make honor roll — entertained at banquet by Sigma Omicron Mu. The attention of audience drawn to portray- al of various other activities of Freshman Class — Crimson Masque try-outs. Eleven selected as performers — one as technician. Next, in rapid succession — Priscilla Harney, member of varsity debate squad — Janet Murray, beauty queen of the class — Frank Hamilton, student council member — Betty Rubino, President of Sunny- side — Charles Skinner, handball champion of Monmouth College and swimming star extraor- dinary — Bittner, Kilgore, Humphrey, Howe — football satellites — Bernie Bolon and Dick Moody, basketball stand-outs. Harrcld and Bur- gess, track phenomena — Walter Nelson, base- ball luminary. Scene also shows prominent part played by freshmen in intramural athletics — freshman girls participating in Water Carni- val and May Fete. In conclusion — highlights in freshman dramatics — excellent cast portray- ing Gun Shy. Athletic scene returns. Basketball — tragedy of the production — team failed to live up to ex- ample set by football machine — defeated in four starts — twelve sweaters awarded. Spring sports — baseball, track, swimming, tennis — take their quota of frehman men. Hockey, swimming, tennis — taken up by women. Most impressive scene of all concludes produc- tion. A familiar figure appears on the platform. Perhaps this Freshman Class is no better than any of the others — yet it is distinguished be- cause it is the last to enter under the guiding hand of President McMichael. May this — the last class — ever progress — realizing that the su- preme honor bestowed upon it should never be betrayed. Page Twenty-seven Paced by Tommy Whelan, all-conference, triple-threat halfback, who was ably assisted by a fine collection of blockers and other ball car- riers, the Scot backfield performed in notable style throughout the sason — a fact that is well proven by a glance at the top-heavy scores that the Red and White machine rolled up against its opponents. Being trained to the Woll-style of backfield play and possessing a world of speed and drive, the Scot backs outgained their opponents in every game and it was freely admitted by rival coaches that Monmouth had one of the toughest, smartest, and most unstoppable arrays of back- field aces in the conferences. Although an all-conference back will be lost by graduation, he is the only backfield letter man who will not be present when the Scots take the field next year to defend their laurels. This being the case. Scot fans can well be assured of seeing the same style of smoothly functioning backfield play in action for the Scots next year. P€€TI3ALL Season 1 93 (5 Pasre Twenty-eisrht a Little Nineteen Ctiampiens This year ' s edition of the Fighting Scot football team was known for its scoring punch and in no small way was the fast charging Red and White line responsible for this reputation. Although usually out- weighed by its opponents, the Hart-schooled forward wall opened holes through its heavier opponents, making way for the long gains of the ball carriers. The best example of this is the Augustana and Bradley games. In both instances the opposing lines would compare favorably in weight with many Big Ten teams, but the Scot line, blessed with plenty of power and drive in the middle and flanked by some of the best ends in the conference, continually hurled its heavier rivals back toward the Scot objective. As a reward for his outstanding play throughout the season, Paul Barnes was given an end position on the All-Little Nineteen Conference team. By virtue of losing only four letter men by graduation, this sturdy bunch of warriors, strengthened by graduates from the freshman ranks, can well be counted to exhibit the same pile-driving tactics when the call comes to further the Fighting Scot football cause next year. HERBERT L. HART Director of Athletics It has come to be a habit with Coach Hart to put winning teams on the field and this year ' s football team was no exception to the idea. At the outset coaches Hart and Woll were faced with the problem of picking a starting lineup from the largest and most promising array of footballers to report for a Monmouth squad in recent years. After rolling up a 33-0 score against Burlington Junior College and losing to Lawrence 13-0, the situation changed and the Scot mentors had to do some expert juggling of men and positions in order to make replace- ments for the heavy toll that the injury jinx had taken in these opening games. Although the Scot cripples had recovered sufficiently by the third encounter to shove Coc all over the field, they lost their second consecutive Midwest battle to the Cedar Rapids outfit to the tune of 16-13. Injuries continued to hound the Scot cause, but in spite of that the Bradley Indians were practically chased off the field and when it was all over, the Red and White machine was on the long end of a 40-0 score. The Fighting Scots lost all hope of retaining their Midwest championship when they jour- neyed to Mt. Vernon, Iowa and fell before the onslaught of Cornell as the Presbyterians banged away to a 13-7 victory. The Scots ' Little Nineteen conference record tells a different story, however. Already vic- torious over Bradley in the first title battle, and practically recovered from their long string of injuries, the Scots swept victoriously through the last half of their campaign with a drive and determination that carried them to victory over the best that the conference had to offer. The Lutherans from Carthage fell before the Scot barrage, 21-0. To improve their standing in the Midwest, the Scots gave a large homecoming crowd a treat in triumphing over Beloit 33-0. Augustana ' s Terrible Swedes, defending champs and favorites to repeat, were the Scots ' next victims as Hart ' s outfit gained sweet re- venge for last year ' s beating by administering an 18-0 lacing to their Rock Island visitors. Thanksgiving brought the Scots face to face ■ with a greatly improved Knox team. A frozen and slippery field was the scene of the annual battle and there was none of the open style of play that marked the annihilation of Knox last year. With a conference title in sight the Scots were not to be denied and they won the game and championship with a 7-6 victory. Coach Hart, the old master, came through as expected this season and in the face of many adverse conditions, guided the Scots skillfully through the heavy schedule. Ably assisting Hart was the former Scot galloping ghost. Bobby Woll, who injected into this year ' s ball carriers some of his fire and ability to elude op- posing tacklers. Together these two comprise a brain trust that ranks with the best. The five senior letter men who will be lost to the Scot cause next year are Barnes, Whelan, Akers, Anderson, and Joe Reed. Returning let- ter men are Simonds. Newberry, Bucheneau, Grier, McCulloch, Baird, Burkhart, Clark, Laing, Lusk, Johnson, Carwile, Reid, Bird, Oglesby, Gasaway, McConnell, and Sharer. J=C€TE 1LL , . ltth :il-lili 1141 As is evidenced by the number of numeral awards, it was a large squad that reported to Coach Frantzen when the call was issued for freshman football candidates. Not only was there quantity in the squad, but quality as well, and the yearlings spent many an evening dealing out severe punishment to the varsity eleven. A Little Nineteen ruling allows the freshman team only two games. The baby Scots were scheduled to journey to Peoria to take on the young Indian braves from Bradley. The Knox freshmen were guests of the Monmouth eleven in the second game. In the Bradley game, Monmouth ' s faith in its frosh team was given a sudden jolt. The youngsters failed to live up to advance predic- tions and came home stinging under a 26-7 de- feat. The lethargy so evident in the Bradley game continued to hound the young Scots throughout the first half of the Knox game and the half ended 7-0 for the Galesburg pigskinners. Coach Frantzen unloaded an inspired pep talk to his hopes during the intermission and the trick was turned. Bittner, Howe, Vickers S Co. swept over the Knox team during the second half with the same power and drive which they had so often exhibited at the expense of the varsity. When the gun sounded the end of the battle, the little Scots had humbled their visitors to the tune of 24-7. Freshman numeral sweaters were awarded to Geske, McDaniels, Byrn, Vipond, Skinner, Rie- ger, Nortman, Stoutenborough, Nelson, Brock- man, Howe, Humphreys, Harreld, Williams, McConnell, Lawrence, Utterback, Vickers, Parr, Finn, Milnes, Lutz, Bittner, Pingle, Kusmich, Caudill, King, and Walworth. Numeral awards were given to Hamilton, Matravers, and Pickens.

Then it would become clearly apparent that this year ' s junior class is upholding Monmouth ideals and is contributing in full measure to the wel- fare and honor of the Red and White. In September, 1933, the class of ' 37 appeared no different than do the motley looking crowds which usually represent an incoming freshman class. In a short time, however, the awe of new surroundings wore off and the class began func- tioning in a manner fully equal to the standard that Monmouth expects. Only in the matter of pole-climbing has the class experienced a notable lack of success. And that in itself might be an argument to show that the class has descended just a little further from the hairy beasts who founded the human species than have some of our more successful groups. But in other fields of activity, the class of ' 37 has come up to expectations by contribut- ing services which might be termed indispens- able. Eight juniors won letters on Coach Hart ' s 1935 football team. Little Nineteen conference champions. Four of nine letter winners in bas- ketball are juniors. Track and baseball like- wise find members of the class of ' 37 prominent- ly displayed on the squad lists, and a junior holds the Little Nineteen record for the 50-yard free style. Crimson Masque places equal reliance on juniors to take their share of leading roles and to assume other responsibilities of play production. Eighteen juniors are members of the Masque, and a number also have been taken into Nation- al Collegiate Players. Journalistic efforts of the class of ' 37 are largely represented in this book. But a junior has served as editor of the Oracle during the past year, and some of the more important po- sitions on his staff were filled by class-mates. Junior talent likewise is an important factor in musical activities. Six members of the class of ' 37 were included in the concert choir which toured Iowa and Nebraska, and their class- mates play equally important parts in the work of the men ' s and women ' s glee clubs. A junior represented Monmouth in the men ' s oratorical division of the Pi Kappa Delta con- vention, held this spring at Houston. Texas. Graduation next spring will exact a heavy toll upon debate squads, both men ' s and women ' s. Twelve members of Sigma Tau Delta, na- tional professional English fraternity, owe their allegiance to the class of ' 37. And last but not least, the class takes a back seat to no other in the all-important matter of scholarship. Did not Sigma Omicron Mu find it necessary to raise its standards before recruit- ing members from the class. ' ' Eight men quali- fied for membership in Phi Eta Mu, freshman honorary society. The junior class is a fair cross-section of the Monmouth student body. It has its scholars and its playboys, its athletes and its chemistry assistants, its journalists and its debaters, its musicians and dramatists. But they are the best in their chosen line, unexcelled in grades or in pranks. The junior class is a capable one. Seniors, you need have no fears in turning your student body government, your student council, your Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. councils over to the class of ' 37. If will do its part in building up a bigger and better Monmouth.

The saga to follow will relate the accomplish- ments of the troupe which is by right and might justifiably called the best sophomore class this or any institution of its kind can boast. This article is only a word to record the accomplish- ments of that group which is standing on that old adage, Actions speak louder than words. In the light of this then the pages of the cur- rent year are turned back to review those things that she, as a class, has attained. It is a well-known axiom that the school is for the furtherance of education of the mind, but being not satisfied with doing just what was asked of it. the class has set a precedent in extra-curricular activities that its successors will find difficult to follow. Some of the more barbarically inclined mem- bers saw fit to exert their virility on the gridiron. Nine of them became members of that august body wearing the coveted M . When the weather became too inclement for moleskins a sizeable representation from our ranks took to the hardwood, training their eyes on putting the leather sphere through the bucket. That their efforts were not futile is well manifested by a startling statement that five played regularly enough on the quintet to win letters. Prophe- cies for an equally enviable record on the dia- mond by members of the class are well founded. Several of the thin clad aspirants on the cinder path are second year men that promise to win many laurels for Monmouth College. One member was a consistent leader in aquatic man- euvers. Just to display versatility in its broader sense, however, the class has been anything but re- stricted to scholarship and athletics. Two con- stitutional law authorities gave vent to their able tongues by representing the class and school on the rostrum. These two debaters will honor their class this year by becoming members of Pi Kappa Delta, national iorensic fraternity. The girls, too, in order not to be outdone and to retain their traditional supremacy of having the last word sent two into the debating field. Perhaps the fates have decreed that some should spend their time behind the footlights. At least that is the indication made by the ex- cellent acting of sophomore members of the Crimson Masque. Words fail when an attempt is made to pay tribute to the fairer sex of the class. Their ac- tivity in those fields directly connected with the school puts them in the spotlight in an envious position. Always willing to initiate, cooperate, or incite others to greater efforts, they are an in- tegral part of anything accomplished. That so- cial life toward which one looks upon entering college was made a living reality by these as- senting women. It is highly significant and noteworthy that two of them were accorded popular acclaim in the vote polled for the most beautiful girls of the campus. It is reasonable to believe that many others of sophomore rank- ing merited the recognition. It is totally unfair to the class as a unit to attempt a condensed resume of accomplishments that are by their very nature worthy of much time and many pages of detailed consideration. All good things must come to an end, however, and with the close of this year comes anticipati on and confidence in what might rightly be ex- pected in the future from those who led the parade at the post.

It is an organization of over seventy members who are chosen by the tryout method at the end of the first semester of their freshman year. There is a scholarship require- ment for entrance in addition to the acting or technical ability. The society offers an opportunity for the un- dergraduate to accomplish acquaintance with the workings of a theatre. Its work is carried on in the Little Theatre biulding which was re- modeled in 1934 after the serious fire. It is a self-supporting organization maintaining its financial requirements by membership dues and profit from the year ' s productions. The past year has seen many innovations in the Masque. Music has been used between the acts of the shorter plays: program histories ao- peared: and the staff was enlarged with special persons in charge of costuming, art work and dance interpretation: with thoughts of going even further in the future. Women were intro- duced to work with scene shifting and caroenter- ing as well as touching upon the electrical work. Each year the Crimson Masque and the Amer- ican Association of University Women collabo- rate on presenting a lone play for the benefit of both organizations. This year it was Jose Echegeray ' s The Great Galeoto presented on two successive nights in March. Each year a season ticket campaign is put on with admission to all of the Masque sponsored presentations at a rate lower than the regular price. In the last two years, the Masque has assumed the class plays for the Juniors and the Seniors. Officers President Charles Grafft Secretary-Treasurer William Baird Faculty Adviser Miss Ruth Williams National Collegiate Players has been on Mon- mouth ' s campus for the past eight years, having been established here on May 2, 1929. N. C. P. is known throughout the country as represent- ing the best in undergraduate dramatic work and is present only in schools where the dramatic society accomplishes superior work. Its mem- bers are qualified to represent ability in all of the various lines connected with dramatic pro- duction. Membership is by appointment for outstand- ing work and completion of the prerequisites which include work in direction, property man- agement, makeup, production practice and back- stage business as well as acting in both major and minor roles. Junior standing is required and both Acting and Play Production must be taken under Miss Williams, in addition to this the candidate must be a member of Crimson Masque. Once every year a three act production is pre- sented by the group as its contribution to the program. Brief Candle, written by Robert Hare Powell was selected this year and presented on December 12. The play was a study of the changing social life in New England and in- cluded much opportunity for character work and individual interpretation. Mr. Powell cleverly balanced a romance of the old school with one of the modern type and introduced just enough of comedy to relieve the tenseness. National Collegiate Players was founded at the University of Wisconsin in 1919 and now consists of twenty-eight active chapters. The membership symbol is a gold key and the so- ciety publishes a quarterly magazine — The Players. Page Forty-fiv A varied program was employed for the first semester, following out the policy of the Masque for including all types of the drama in their program to insure popular appeal and interest. Opening on October 29 with a presentation of three one act plays, they gave A Little Stone House first. A Little Stone House was a Russian tragic drama depicting the lower class peasant life and showing how an illusion may be planted in the mind more firmly than the truth. Special attention was accorded to the scenery and costumes which added to the atmos- phere. The second play, Three Pills in a Bot- tle, was a fairy-like allegory done in the man- ner of a fantasy employing souls and other unusual characters. The Flattering Word completed the trio with its satirical comedy re- lief bringing much spontaneous laughter. The large number in attendance was an encouraging point for the Masquers, as it showed that the annual season ticket sale was enjoying success. The annual Homecoming Play opened on November ninth bringing in cast several of the more talented of the undergraduates. Convinc- ing work portrayed the three act myste ry drama written by Elizabeth McFadden, the popular Double Doors. The scene was laid in New York and showed to what extent a ruthless, un- scrupulous woman by using every wile of self- ishness and avarice could work havoc in a home and ruin the lives of several. National Collegiate Players presented Brief Candle on December 13. With the production of this play many of the faces most familiar to the Masque followers during the past four years came into prominence. Powell, the author, worked into his drama all the charm and the appeal of a genuine New England seaport town. Just enough of the marine atmosphere was in- cluded to cause a throb for the old Captain and over all the situation was graced by a typical Newport spinster who longed to have her an- cestral estate remain in the family in order that the strong march of civilization should not erase its glamor. Page Forty-eight The discriminate judgment used in the se- lection of the plays included in the year ' s pro- gram brought another excellent group of pro- ductions for the second semester. The first presentation, as in the first semester, was com- posed of three one-acts — Wurzel Flummery, written by A. A. Milne and directed by Allyene Norris, was of the English type plays with sub- tle humor as its foundation and dealing with the story of a House of Commons Member and the near loss of his own respectable family name for that of Wurzel Flummery. William Baird directed the presentation of the Slave with Two Faces, and succeeded in an original interpretation of a classic setting on the lines of Maxfield Parrish ' s works. A farce, Suppressed Desires, the story of a young wife ' s experience with psychoanalysis and her subsequent cure, was under the direction of Betty McClenahan. With this program came the first request ever to be made here for a repeat performance. The Spanish classic by Echegeray, The Great Galeoto, appeared next in the program on March 13 and 14. This was a three act pro- duction, carrying in its story the wretched havoc wrought by the monster Gossip. Miss Wil- liams had complete direction of The Great Gal- eoto and worked with a cast of seasoned actors, for the most part upperclassmen. The Freshman play, Gun Shy, was pre- sented by the new members of Crimson Masque on May 1, also under the direction of Miss Williams. This broad farce of big game hunters and the ideas before and after retirement proved an excellent vehicle for a freshman group as written by Little and Closser. Again this year the Masque took over the production of the Senior play, Pomander Walk, presenting it on June 8. Every emotion and mood from the deepest tragedy to farcical comedy was interpreted on the Little Theatre stage during the course of the year. An effort is made to give each member of the Masque opportunity for work in several dif- ferent parts. The plays are selected by the cast- ing committee with thought for the character possibilities and points in interpretation. Re- hearsals are handled in such a way that the ama- teur with only interest on his side will be en- abled to work with and create his own charac- ter through molding. Added interest in stag- ing possibilities and technical points such as dance interpretation, impressionism and light- ing experiments develop continuously employ- ing the ingenuity of all participants.

The women ' s teams carried a much lighter schedule than is usual because of the inexperience of the members. None of their meets were de- cision, although some audiences surveys were taken. Schools debating with Monmouth in- cluded Drake, Simpson, Pella, Augustana, Ma- comb, and Carthage. Three divisions comprised the season for the men ' s teams, a northern trip, the State League tournament and two featured home debates. The only decision contests were in the State League tournament and the negative team, met Olivet, Normal, Eureka, and DeKalb in this series. The featured home debates were with Washington University and Augustana. Practice meets were arranged with Carthage, Macomb, Illinois Wesleyan, Augustana, Bur- lington Junior College and Grinnell. Officers President Wilbur Lester Vice President Clifford Pierson Secretary-Treasurer Cleo Stephens Precedent was set this year by the men ' s de- bate team, Wilbur Lester and Clifford Pierson, at the National Pi Kappa Delta Convention held at Houston, Texas, when a Monmouth men ' s team placed seventh in the national contest with a field of 105 entries. The question was, Re- solved: That Congress should be empowered, by a two-thirds vote to override decisions of the Supreme Court, declaring acts of Congress un- constitutional. The team scored seven victories in their work, these over Illinois Wesleyan, College of Em- poria, College of the Pacific, University of Peur- ta Rico, Hastings, Henderson and St. Olaf. Their first defeat came when they met Emporia Teach- ers ' College and they were finally eliminated in the contest by Redlands College. John Moffett served as the college orator. His subject, The Forgotten Virtue, was a treat- ment of the debt problem facing modern civili- zation. Speaking four times in the contest at Houston he reached the semi-finals, placing elev- enth in a field of sixty-two. Not the least important of the events at the Convention was the election of Professor S. R. Toussaint to the Presidency of Pi Kappa Delta, a promotion from his former office of first na- tional vice president.

The orchestra has come through the experi- mental stage which all new organizations must experience, and its forty-three members now constitute a dependable and advanced musical organization. It is under the direction of Mr. Gail Kubik. Reprinted here is the program given by the College Orchestra on its first concert of the present season, December 10, 1935. Similar programs have been presented in the neghbor- ing communities at various times throughout the year.

Valse Tristc Sibellius Moment Musical Schubert On the Steppes of Central Asia Borodin For thirteen years the Monmouth College Band has been faithfully serving as an inspira- tion to the student body for a bigger and better school spirit. Appearing in their rather ancient uniforms for every football game on the home grounds — marching with the precision of an American Legion drum and bugle corps — fill- ing the gym with the stirring strains of a Sousa march — or Stephen Foster melodies — or The Isle of Capri — or even The Music Goes Round, and Round — leading the student body in the singing of the loyalty song. These are the routine functions of the band. As with all other organizations which have anything to offer, the band meets regularly to practice. The leader, W. B. McMillan, has been with the band for some time as director. He is assisted by Jack Sanders, manager. The big event of the year is the annual band concert, held in connection with the May Fete. Here the boys demonstrate that a band can really play good music. For two years of continuous and faithful ser- vice to the organization a band sweater is given by the college. The winners of this award this year are: Max Simpson and James McCracken. Page Fifty-thr.

Shaver with a little help from the Men ' s and Women ' s Glee C lubs, the Orchestra and various members of the student body who contributed jokes to win free tickets, howled its way into history on Washington ' s birthday, February 25, before a record crowd. A boost in admission price from twenty-five to forty cents at first rather shocked the student body but a compromise price of thirty cents to students was effected, which ap- parently maintained peace in the family. Vari- ety was the key note, the music including every- thing from opera to The Music Goes Round, and Round. Some of the high lights of the evening ' s pro- gram; Russell James ' number, Without a Song — McKelvey singing The Music Goes Round, and Round — the antics of Ed Fairman and Ray Murray as the Ubangi savages, eating live goldfish out of a bowl — Margaret Surratt ' s tap dance — Silly Lou Senne singing Can ' t Help Lovin ' That Man of Mine — Bob Sher- wood (Popeye) and his trained seal, Irvin Lutz — Fred James singing That ' s Why Darkies Were Born — the Lashly quartette — the two trios — the back stage effects including dramati- zations of I ' m on a See-Saw , In a Little Gypsy Tea Room, and Samson and Delilah, both ancient and modern. As a fitting close to the festivities, the entire ensemble rose and sang The Star Spangled Banner, as the opening of the back stage cur- tain revealed an American Legion color guard at attention beside Old Glory. The annual presentation of Handel ' s Mes- siah on Tuesday evening, December 18th, met with the usually enthusiastic appreciation that always helps to make these concerts enjoyable. The singing of this beautiful oratorio has the power to lift students out of the hustle of col- liege pre-vacation rush and send them home with a renewed spirit that might otherwise be rather difficult to catch. The program was varied, including two num- bers by the College Orchestra: Mozart ' s Over- ture to The Magic Flute and Bach ' s Branden- burg Concerto. The College Choir next sang a group of Christmas songs: Silent Night, Sleep of the Child Jesus, and ' To, How a Rose E ' er Blooming. The soloists for the evening were Mildred Griffith, soprano: Helen Wagner, contralto: Clarence Patterson, tenor; Glenn Shaver, bass. In previous years guest artists have assisted with the solo work but the conservatory talent proved sufficient with the aid of the two alumni. The choruses were sung by the College Choral Society under the direction of Mr. Hamilton. Only six numbers were selected, closing the pro- gram with the inspiring Halleluiah Chorus, the entire audience standing, as is customary, through the number, in tribute to the beloved composer; a fitting conclusion to a beautiful and inspirational concert. The chorus was accompanied on the piano by Miss Riggs and on the organ by Hugh P. Hill.

Composed entirely of college students, the choir sings Sunday morning and evening; rehearses faithfully every Saturday af- ternoon; and this year presented two beautiful Candle Light services, one at Christmas time and one at Easter. The Christmas service was especially beautiful with the entire choir in white and the platform decorated to represent a snowy, tree-covered hillside. This annual service has come to be an event looked forward to with a great deal of real pleasure by the college students. The choir is also a social organization, as might be expected from the nature of its di- rector. The annual fall dance at Hawcock ' s was a huge success, with a large part of the stu- dent body in attendance. This spring Gracie took it upon herself to entertain each section of the choir, soprano, alto, tenor and bass, at smal- ler parties in her own hpme. In order to inspire her choristers to perfect attendance Gracie offers five dollars to every member who does not miss a single morning service and ten dollars for a perfect morning and evening record. As things looked early in May, the Petersons were planning on mortgaging the house to pay off the faithful ones. When Gracie was asked how long she had been with the choir her characteristic answer was, Can you imagine my telling anyone how old I am? Perhaps the most fortunate music organiza- tion on the campus was the College A Capella Choir. A six day trip through Iowa to Omaha and return supplied the incentive to work which made for a fine organization. A selected group of twenty-six, including Henry Kubik and his ' cello, and Mrs. Shaver with her harp, made the trip, singing at Des Moines, Waterloo, Newton, Albia, Omaha. College Springs and Washing- ton, and also at various high schools along the way. A large share of the success of the organiza- tion can be ascribed to the directors, Mr. Shaver and Mr. Hamilton. Although still compara- tively young, having been organized in 1933, the choir has become a vital part of the college life. Sacred music for the monthly vesper ser- vices is furnished by the choir and the daily chapel choir of eight to twelve voices under the direction of Mr. Hamilton, chosen from its membership quiets the howling mob every day in chapel with short opening sentences, many of which are original compositions of Mr. Hamil- ton. The choir, fifty-eight voices when in full strength, meets regularly two hours a week for one hour of college credit. Rumor has it that a trip to California is being planned for Christ- mas vacation of next year. Aside from the tour the choir sang in the local high school and pre- sented several programs in surrounding towns. Trial by Jury, a Gilbert and Sullivan short operetta was presented in May. DR.

To Saville fell the task of choosing a team from players whose caliber was unknown to him and work- ing out an offense to keep pace with the new foul circle rule. When the season opened Saville presented an array of smooth ball handlers and sharp shooters that rained shots through the hoop from all angles. These tactics were continued through all the early season games, but as the schedule went on, the basket shooting ability seemed shackled. In the Christmas holiday tournament held at Augustana, in which the leading teams from the Midwest and Little Nineteen conferences competed, the Scots were paid a fitting compli- ment when officials and other coaches were heard to say that the Scot team was made up of the best material in the meet. Once all this ability started clicking as one unit, the Red and White outfit was nigh unbeatable. Although not highly successful as far as wins are concerned, the young Scots displayed a fine brand of basketball and as all lettermen are re- turning for next year ' s team they may be counted on to deliver a very successful season. The lettermen are Bob Andreen, Don Bolender, Dave Dobson, Paul Hendricks, Johnny Lusk. Bob Reid, Hubert Taylor, and Roy Wilson. E. S, SAVILLE Coach Freshinan Sauad A comparatively small squad of freshmen basketeers reported to Coach Bobby Woll and although the yearlings were not very tall and rangy, they possesed speed and accuracy in bas- ket shooting and floor work. There were in- dividual stars among the frosh aspirants and these bright lights beamed once in a while, but as a team, the first year men ran into difficulties. Four games were scheduled for the freshmen and in all four cases, the young Scots met defeat. In the intramural league, however, they were un- beatable and showed that they were capable of playing much better basketball than they had exhibited against their intercollegiate rivals. Numeral sweaters were given to Bolon, Shank, Byrn, Williams, Moody, Vipond, Dodge, Da- vey, Bohart and Alamaguer, while numerals alone were awarded to Hafley and Sorrentino. Page Sixty-one TUCCLGH THE TEACS The story of Monmouth College since 1903 is a story of continuous and enduring progress in the face of almost overwhelming difficulties. The administration of the college since 1903 has been in the hands of Dr. Thomas Hanna McMichael. It is to the success of his thirty- three year presidency that Monmouth College owes her significant advancement. In 1903, Monmouth College consisted physi- cally of ten acres of campus with five buildings. Old Main, the Auditorium, the President ' s Home, the temporary gymnasium which is now the Little Theatre, and the janitor ' s house, with the land and equipment, were all the tangi- ble holdings the college had to show. The en- dowment at that time was approximately two hundred thousand dollars; there were 142 stu- dents and eighteen teachers: the annual budget was about $20,000. For a year and a half, Mon without a president. Financial, was in an alarming condition could do no more than hoi lishcd and not particularly Reverend T. H. McMi Monmouth College with had been for eleven years of the First United Pre: Cleveland, was offered the mater at this critical perio with the institution were even for, in addition to his own ael ' s student years at the college of Monmouth ' s problems during years of the presidency of his father McMichael. Reverend McMichael accented the call to the presidency of Monmouth College, and was In- stalled in office on June 1, 1903. The prob- lems which faced him at that time were mani- fold. Library, better laboratory facilities, and a more stable financial condition were immedi- ate and pressing problems to be dealt with be- fore the college could attain the educational dis- tinction he was determined it should have. A successful solution of the librarv problem was to be the first imoortant sten toward ex- panding Monmouth ' s usefulness. Dr. McMich- ael ' s campaign for the new building was based on a grant of $30,000 from the Carnesie Foun- dation: an equal amount had to be raised from other sources. In spite of bad times, the campaign moved forward, and in 1907, at Com- mencement, the corner stone of the present li- brary building was laid. At the same time, con- struction began on a central heating plant. The first great crisis in the new president ' s regime came on November 14. 1907. Old Main was completely destroyed by fire that day. Since 1863, Old Main had been the heart of the college, the building which housed all classes and a small chapel. It was the college. Pre- dictions were made that, with its destruction, Monmouth College would have to close her doors. In spite of the tremendous loss in the de- struction of this building, Monmouth carried on her work. Only one day ' s classes were lost,, and for a time after the fire students attended classes in the Library building, the Auditorium, and cond Church. Plans were announced im- or the erection of a new building on Main, and also for a new sci- A feature of the fire year was a money to replace Old Main uring the Christmas holi- A total of nearly $15,000 ts alone during their vaca- 1 has always referred to the Hall and J.

In 1915, Woodbin? was purchased, and four years later became thr ' president ' s home. The next critical period in the administration of Dr. McMichael came with the World War. The boom forced Monmouth College to in- crease endowment, add equipment, and raise her budget again. The financial distress of the war period, how- ever, was only one aspect of the college situation. Many students went overseas, causing a marked drop in enrollment. Life on the campus was reorganized under war-time conditions. A Stu- dent Army Training Corps included all the men of the campus, approximately a hundred. They lived a regular military life, with barracks in the little gym, Woodbine, and Woodbine ' s Page Si.xty-two VITH DC. McMICHAEL garage. Army uniforms were mi the campus than the corduroys and sweaters today. A touch of the grotesque colored t S. A. T. C. atmosphere when during the infl enza epidemic, the men wore their gas masks prevent the spread of the disease. The sight @S. the uniformed S. A. T. C. men marching in formation to and from classes became an accepted part of college life. There are some very amus- if ' ing stories of the military strictness with which • Lieut. Meinhart managed the S. A. T. C. unit. When the college whistle blew long and hysteri- cally one morning at two o ' clock, students, both men and women, rushed out on the campus, to discover that Armistice had come. An indication of the effect of the war perio , on campus life is found in the fact that th| was no Ravelings in 1918. In 1919 ho B, the girls on the campus published plings, bound, appropriately, in khaki. : After the war, physical expansion continued on the campus. DormiW space had been needed badly for some time, and in 1921 Sunny- side was built. ,MIo, the college had been using the ternporary gymnasium since 1903, and ncededfe ' new athletic field badly. In 1923 the present athletic field was made ready, and in 1925, at the Alumni Banquet, during Com- mencement Week, the new gymnasium was dedi- cated. The Fine Arts Building, the latest ad- dition to the college buildings, was purchased in 1931. The third critical period since 1903 began with the business depression of 1929 and only recently have strained financial conditions be- come more hopeful. The college has extended all possible assistance to a large number of needy students, and has at the same time maintained its efficiency. Throughout these years, financial integrity and independence as well as building problems, were an ever-present challenge to President McMichael. When he took the presidency, the college was running with an endowment of only two hundred thousand dollars; years of unceas- ing effort and care on his part gradually in- creased the total, until, at the eightieth anni- versary, the college can proudly claim an endow- ment of approximately one million dollars. Material growth alone might have been fos- tered by a lesser man than Dr. McMichael. The true measure of his contributioi a Monmouth College cannot be takCT ffermsof dollars and cents. What he has done for the college in ed- ucational leadership, in affecting the conditions of life on the campus, and in bringing the inspi- ration of his character .tf) thousands of individual lives, cannot be stated in black and white. The faculty at Monmouth College has been ' of consistently high character and accomplish- ment during the presidency of Dr. McMichael. He has picked men and women for the teaching force who are superior nqii- only in intellectual attainment, but also in the ftnc type of charac- ter that reflects his own ideals for college life. Harmony of purpose and a willingness to j ijiserve has distinguished the faculty member of Monmouth College. Monmouth ' s educational prestige under! leadership of Dr. McMichael is a direct result of his aims for the institution. Monmouth is a standard A college in the North Central Asso- ciation, and the Association of American Col- leges. The college is of first rank on the ap- proved list of the Association of American Uni- versities. The enrichment in student life under Dr. McMichael ' s presidency is a matter of personal interest to all students, past and present. En- couraging participation in extra-curricular activ- ities has been a special interest to him. The fine improvement in athletics, forensics, music and dramatics is witness to the president ' s creative educational policy. The impact of Dr. McMichael ' s spiritual ideals has given life at Monmouth a character that is to be found in few colleges. Through the monthly Vesper services, which he inaugu- rated, and in countless other ways. Dr. McMich- ael has affected the lives of his students toward a healthy and constructive religious philosophy. Monmouth, a church school, has stood for a fine type of Christian life, in a liberal and con- structive way. A comparison of Monmouth College in 1903 i with the Monmouth of today cannot fail tol show vividly the nature and infinite value of the services of Dr. McMichael to his alma mater. The eightieth anniversary of the college, the end of his thirty-three years as president, marks the close of an epoch of skilled and creative admin- istration.

At this time the new members of the Octopus Club are an- nounced. These men have been chosen at the end of their Junior year by the retiring under- graduate members. All during their senior year they must carry this honor and responsibility in secret. With public recognition comes the right to wear the society ' s emblem — a gold key with an octopus and other appropriate mystical in- signia thereon. The Octopus is Monmouth ' s Senior men ' s honor society and it is fittingly named an hon- or club for that is one of the first characteris- tics of its members. The club, organized in Monmouth in 1927, originally provided for eleven members, but this number has since been limited to eight new men annually. The char- ter members felt that a union — drawing to- gether men of the senior class outstanding in scholarship, character and campus activity, could very definitely aid in making Monmouth an out- standing school and at the same time increase the ties of friendship and interest which are such a valuable part of college life. Serving as a body and individually, unknown and unheralded, they are constantly leading in thought and ac- tion — helping where they see the need for help. Thus the society serves as a medium for passing campus ideals, ambitions, and traditions from one senior class to the next. Officers President -__.Dorothy Field Vice President Virginia Goodwin Secretary-Treasurer Eleanor Grigsby Tau Pi is for Senior women. Those women who have received the honor all desire — recog- nition by their comrades. As Juniors they are chosen; as Seniors they serve — carrying the ban- ner of true womanliness before the world. The idealistic founders first met in 1930, se- lecting their numbers on the basis of high schol- arship, qualities of leadership and willingness to serve. The written purpose of the organiza- tion is simply stated but wonderfully rich in meaning and possibility. It is: the encourage- ment of high standards of womanhood, the pub- lic recognition of those who have approximated the attainment of these standards, and the strengthening of bonds of friendship. This year ' s additions to the coveted ranks of Tau Pi have been particularly worthy of the honor. During their college years they have un- ceasingly exerted an influence consistent with these ideals and have created an atmosphere of worthiness and accomplishment which has urged their friends and followers to greater sacrifice. In the spring of every year not less than five nor more than twelve members of the Junior class are handed the torch and entrusted with its safe keeping for the next year. In years to come Tau Pi hopes to become af- filiated with Mortar Board, a National Women ' s Honorary Fraternity, but until this dream is re- alized members of the local group will keep striving to be worthy of her high ideals and as- pirations.

The Class €f 1937 Upon the fifteenth of September, 1932, some one-hundred and fifty freshmen began what was seemingly an unending quest — a four-year march in search of knowledge, of friendships, athletics, and social gatherings. Bedecked in green hats, this enthusiastic crew was sent on the initial lap of its epic race by Dean Cleland, who counselled each of the participants. Those engaging in this long marathon were endeavor- ing to equip themselves for the struggles of later life. In the hearts of each there was uncertainty and indecision as this trek began. As the race pressed on, however, confidence and hope were acquired. This contingent which was tasting college life for the first time, was early headed by Wally Speer, president. Many grew weary of the chase, dropping out in the earlier stages of the game. Others, realizing the fruits of a college education, plodded on. Beckoned by the shrill cry of the college whistle, this procession swooped down upon the defending sphomore tribe. One member of the ever forward pressing neophytes, climbed the pole. Several earned honors in academic endeavor in that five of the number were taken into the frosh scholastic group. Phi Eta Mu. Writers joined Sigma Tau Delta, and athletes performed well upon football field, basketball court and ball diamond. Thirty-five received numer als in sports. Now plunging more and more into the throes of college life, the crew, ever forging ahead, was led in the second lap of the journey by Paul Barnes. This persevering lot shone even more brightly in the field of drama, sport, debate and academic endeavor. Many had given up the race by this time. The motley crew numbered slightly less than a hundred as it swang toward the third session of the quest. James Marshall took the lead as the unfal- tering group assumed the dignity of upper class- men. More laurels were thrown upon the mem- bers of the Class of 1936. Monmouth, to these progressing people, was now a second hom:. Friendships made the school seem even more al- luring. As the spring blossomed forth in all is ecstacy, many of this number began to make the journey in pairs. The promenade often led towards the dormitory. Looking over the survivors, not remnants, it was found that sixty-eight of the number were yet in the running for the final lap. With Lawrence Poguc at the helm, this ambitious group made ready for its final spurt and in turn — new worlds to conquer. With potential scientists, teachers, writers, coaches, business men and house wives, the ag- gregation realized its goal — Graduation upon June 11, 1936. They were the last to receive diplomas under the regime of Dr. T. H. Mc- Michael. Page Seventy-!

Needless to say, the girls were disappointed no end, and spirit and interest lagged as a consequence. The leap year theme of the College Minstrels did give them an opportunity to appear before the public. Two of their number acted as end- women, an occurence without precedent in the annals of the institution. The following were chosen as officers of the organization: President, Merle Fidler: Vice President. Vivian Griffith: Manager, Eleanor Grigsby. The club met on Wednesday after- noons to practice. The change in leadership can partly be as- cribed to a plan which has been lurking in the back of the music department ' s thoughts for some time. The hope is that eventually, per- haps next year, the two Glee Clubs together will constitute the Choir: that all the members will meet five days a week, at regular recitation hour, for two hours of college credit. Thus the Glee Clubs would meet separately three days a week, and together to form the Choir on the other two days. In this way much could be accom- plished and many difficulties would be elimin- ated. This usually active, up and coming organiza- tion lapsed into comparative inactivity this year. The boys worked hard for a time in conjunc- tion with the Women ' s Glee Club to turn out a really bigger and better Minstrel show; and then with prospects of a trip at very low ebb and with nothing but the Home Concert in June to look forward to. the enthusiasm needed for the accomplishment of any really finished work was lacking. One consolation, however, was the fact that the club purchased some new music over the summer vacation. At the annual election of officers the follow- ing were chosen: President, Wallace Speer: Vice President, John Henderson: Business Man- ager, Jack Woodward. These offices, except the last, are largely honorary, tradition dictating that a Senior be President, and a Junior be Vice President. The business manager, usually quite busy with the arrangements for the trip, was without much to do. A trip to Chicago and vicinity was partly arranged but complications prevented it ever getting further than this stage. Many of the ' Tat-heads (an appellation ger- minating in Mr. Shaver ' s spacious cranial cavi- ty and applied to the members of the club) sing in the Choir and thus had a chance at a trip. Page Seventy-: The desires of ten Lombard College women were fulfilled when on April 17, 1893, Alpha Xi Delta was organized at Lombard College, Galesburg, Illinois. In May, 1930, Lombard and Knox College, both located in Galesburg, Illinois merged because it was the conviction of both colleges that one could serve the education- al needs of the vicinity better than two. So with the passing of Lombard, Alpha chapter was transferred to Knox and reestablished thru the absorption of Zeta Pi, a local sorority on Knox campus. On April 17, 1902 Alpha Xi Delta adopted a national constitution and since that time has grown considerably, for now there are fifty-six active chapters and forty-eight chartered alum- nae chapters. The chapters are divided into nine provinces and Beta Epsilon is in Province V. A national convention is held biennially and in non-national convention years each province, in- cluding active and alumnae chapters holds a con- vention. The National publication of the fraternity is The Alpha Xi Delta magazine which is edited four times each year. Alpha Xi Delta was installed at Monmouth College on May 17, 193 2 when thirty-seven active and alumnae members of Phi Delta Sig- ma were initiated into Beta Epsilon chapter of Alpha Xi Delta. Since that time there have been over three score girls wearing quills, the national badge, at Monmouth College and there has been established a chartered Alumnae Chap- ter in Monmouth, Illinois. Beta Epsilon is unusually fortunate in having Mrs. Alice Bruncr, one of the founders of Alpha Xi Delta, as an alumnae adviser. Alpha Xi Delta maintains a certain scholastic rating for pledging and initiation as well as abiding by the local Pan-Hellenic regulations. The group since 1932 has maintained a good scholastic average and held the Kiwanis scholar- ship cup for two semesters. The large social functions are limited to two formal dances a year — one is usually a winter dance and the spring formal is held at the Mon- mouth Country Club. Besides these there is usually one other party and several small get-to- gethers called Pickle Mixes held during the year. Alpha Xi Deltas are encouraged to participate in activities and are found in every extra-curric- ular branch at Monmouth College. Just last year new Alpha Xi Delta song books were pub- lished. The Alpha Xi Delta Trio has been a popular entertainment medium on the campus. Beta Epsilon contributes to the national phil- anthropic work of Alpha Xi Delta. Until just recently Alpha Xi Delta maintained a teacher and adviser at Carcassonne Community Center. Letcher County, Kentucky. She also maintains a $1,000 fellowship called the Biennial Fellow- ship, which is awarded thru A. A. U. W. as scholarship loans to worthy juniors and seniors in the fraternity. The national pledge pin is an ellipse of black enamel on which are the Greek letters in bur- nished gold. The badge is the golden quill with the letters Alpha Xi Delta in raised and burn- ished gold on the feathers.

THOMPSON S XiUf As the record goes, six fair young Monmouth co-eds, huddled together outside the chapel door one October day, about sixty-five years ago, and waited till all the other students had taken their scats. Then they boldly walked to the front of the chapel and faced the student body so they might display their new golden keys, which bore Greek letters — the first organization for women on Monmouth ' s campus to adopt a Greek name like the men ' s. The record continues with an account of cheering and stamping by the Greek letter boys which Dr. Wallace had diffi- culty in quieting, but it claims he smiled indul- gently upon them and his only remark was, Does this mean more trouble for me? From that nucleus at Monmouth. Kappa has grown into an international organization of some 24,000 members with 71 active chapters and 116 alumnae chapters. Alumnae organiza- tions are to be found in Canada, Hawaii, and London. Kappa Kappa Gamma was the first women ' s organization to establish the grand council form of government, the first to found a co-organizer system of establishment, and the first to publish a fraternity magazine. She called the first Pan- Hellenic Council. Kappa claims such person- ages as: Alice Duer Miller. Dorothy Canfield Fisher, Judge Emma Fall Schofield, Helen Wills Moody, Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes, Mrs. Her- bert Hoover. The Rose Magill fund provides for needy Kappas; and there is a general Student Loan fund and a Fellowship Award which is avail- able to any woman student who is a graduate from a college or university where there is an active chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma. As a memorial to her founders. Kappa has presented Monmouth with an endowment of $2,500, the interest of which is to be used in buying books for the college library. The history of the reinstated Alpha chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma began on the same day and month, just sixty-four years after the the founding of the original Alpha chapter and fifty years after the senate voted to do away with all Greek letter organizations. Two of the original founders returned to Monmouth to assist in Alpha ' s installation ceremonies. Kappa Alpha Sigma had taken the place of the national Kappa, and this local group worked for thirty- five years to regain their charter. The regain- ing of this document occasioned a whole week- end of festivity, at which time 134 Kappa Al- pha Sigma ' s became members of Alpha of Kappa Kappa Gamma. Kappa has had her share of May Queens, N. C. P. ' s, Y. W. cabinet leaders, and even some Sigma Omicron Mus. We maintain a scholastic requirement for pledging which is .6 of a point above the campus Pan-Hellenic requirement and a grade average for initiation which is .3 of a point above Pan-Hellenic ' s average. For diversion we throw a winter formal and a spring party — and then there arc the Pretzel Benders. Kappa sweethearts wonder? Do they really bend pretzels? The heart of every pledge beats beneath a pin combining the Greek letters Sigma within the Delta: the colors are blue and blue: the flow- er, the fleur-de-lis: the iewel. the sapphire: and the golden key bears the Greek letters.

It was founded in Monmouth on April 28, 1867, by twelve Monmouth girls in the old Holt home on First Avenue. In the spring of 1929 Pi Phi returned to its college home after an absence of nearly forty-five years, installing as its Grand Alpha Chapter, Zeta Epsilon Chi, one of the three local sororities. Zeta Epsilon Chi was founded in 1899. The many national fraternities existing upon the campus had been dismissed by senate action in 1884. The senate, after permitting local groups to reorganize in 1899, again sent down its wrath upon the secret societies and ruled them out eleven years later in 1910. Zeta Epsilon Chi disbanded at this time rather than run sub rosa. About 1922 Pi Beta Phi considered coming back to Monmouth. By this time, the college senate had again permitted Greek letter organi- zations on the campus and several groups were flourishing. The fraternity looked around for a suitable group to consider for Pi Phi; Zeta Epsilon Chi was chosen and for six years worked toward that goal. During that time Zeta was under the care of the Pi Beta Phi Alumni Club of Monmouth. In the summer of 1928. at her biennial con- vention, the Pi Phi convention empowered the Grand Council to grant a charter to Zeta Ep- silon Chi. On April 19, 1928 word was received by the Zetas that they bad been accepted by the Grand Council of Pi Phi. On May 23rd, 24th, and 25th, the Zetas were absorbed by Pi Beta Phi fraternity, and the chapter was installed as Illi- nois Alpha. Illinois Alpha makes the seventy-fifth chap- ter of the seventy-nine present chapters. It has It has 25,000 members and active chapters are found in nearly every state in the union and in Canada. A Graduate Fellowship is given each year and the fraternity has an undergraduate Loan Fund. Pi Phi was the first women ' s fraternity to undertake a definite philanthropic project. The Settlement School at Gatlinberg, Tennessee, was founded as a memorial to the Founders. Pi Phis are known on Monmouth campus not only by the arrow, but also by their work in extra-curricular activities, and by their cookie shines. The colors of the fraternity are wine and silver blue: and her flower, the wine-colored carnation. The pin is a gold arrow with the Greek letters Pi Beta Phi written transversely on the shaft, and a small chain pendant.

There were nine charter members at the first meeting held at the home of Miss Shontz on February 25, 1930. On March third, the or- ganization was officially recognized by college officials and the Pan-Hellenic Council. Mrs. H. P. Chaffee was asked to be the sorority mother and is still serving in that office. Miss Virginia McEwen was selected as the faculty adviser, and since her return to the city, she (Mrs. Smith Brinker) is a sorority patroness. The group ' s colors are old rose and orchid, and the flowers, sweet pea and rose. The soror- ity emblem was designed by Thelma Kniss. a charter member. The words to the Theta Chi Mu Loyalty were written by Jane Gillham and the music by Ardith Murphy. Among the an- nual social activities are a homecoming luncheon, a fall party, a Christmas Tea. a Founders ' Day Banquet, an initiation banquet, a spring formal, and a senior breakfast. Teas and waffle suppers arc not without a place. The Thetan, a quart- erly new bulletin, is published by the active chapter for the alumnae. A scholarship necklace is presented each year at the Homecoming Luncheon and the Founders ' Day Banquet by the alumnae to the girl whose scholastic record has shown the greatest improve- ment during the preceding semester. Theta Chi Mu has won the Kiwanis Club Scholarship Cup five consecutive semesters, having had the high- est scholastic average of any of the women ' s organizations. The year ' s program is devised so as to provide an opportunity for participation in social, edu- cational, and cultural activities. A part of the pledge program is devoted to instruction in par- liamentary law, bridge and sports, and to appre- ciation of art, music, and literature. The pledges are urged to take part in extra-curricular activi- ties: a point system is used i n this connection. Each spring at the initiation banquet the pledge who has best measured up to the standards de- termined by the active chapter receives special recognition. A gift bearing the sorority emblem is presented at that time by the pledge-mistress. Theta Chi Mu has existed for six years as a local organization on Monmouth Campus. At present she has thirty members and fifty alum- nae.

WOODS On October 22. 1926, Xi Gamma Delta, a local fraternity, became Pi chapter of the nation- al, Beta Kappa. The activities of Xi Gamma Delta, founded in 1918, were curtailed by the World War. It was not until after the war and reorganization of the local by James Burkholder and James McCutcheon that the real progress of the fra- ternity began — which culminated in affiliation with Beta Kappa. Beta Kappa was founded October 15, 1901 at Hamline University, St. Paul. Minnesota by Dr. Paul Rader, Edward T. Marlatte. Albert T. Spencer, and Charles H. Wallace. The fra- ternity was the sequel of a Denver high school organization named Bosk to which Rader had formerly belonged. Its purposes, perpet- uated to a degree by Beta Kappa, had been to further congeniality, clean living, and Christian idals. Thus it had not been, in any sense, a high school fraternity. In the formation of Beta Kappa, the letters B-O-S-K were replaced by their Greek equiva- lents Beta Omicron Sigma Kappa which was shortened, in time, to Beta Kappa. Lack of faculty recognition at Hamline ne- cessitated sub rosa operations. However, growth and development were marked in those early years, and in 1911 a chapter house was built, incorporation of the fraternity followed in 1912. Twenty years later, still a local, but with fi- nanical and social leadership attained at Ham- line, Beta Kappa endorsed an expansion propos- al. In 1922 the first petition was received from a group located at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington which became the Beta chapter of Beta Kappa on September 19 of that year. Six meetings of the Grand Chapter, the bien- nial Conclave of the fraternity, have been held. The first two convened at St. Paul in 1923 and 1925: the third at Cincinnati. Ohio in 1927; the fourth at Jamestown, New York, in 1929: the fifth at Atlanta, Georgia, in 1931: and the last at Bloomington, Illinois, in 1934. At the first national Conclave, the national constitution was approved. Grand Officers elec- ted, emblems standardized, and the general pol- icies of the fraternity defined. Shortly after this, a petition from a local at Nebraska Wes- leyan University was acted upon favorably. The way to further expansion was paved by the cre- ation in 1925 of a special committee for that purpose. At the Cincinnati, Ohio, Conclave the present ritual was adopted. In 1929 the province sys- tem of administration was put into effect and the national office, previously established in 1925 at Oakland. California, was moved to Oxford. Ohio. A new constitution was endorsed by the Bloomington Conclave in 19 34. ratified by the active chapters and adopted by the fraternity. Since the installation of Pi chapter on the Monmouth campus in 1926 by Grand Arkon Arthur S. Williamson the number of chapters of the organization has increased steadily until at present there are forty active chapters in twen- ty-five states.

S. HALDEMAN The local fraternity most closely allied with the earlier days of Monmouth College is Phi Kappa Pi. Its precursor, Theta Sigma Phi, was contemplated as early at September, 1885 and was formally organized under that name in 1890. Senator Clarence F. Buck of Monmouth was the guiding spirit of the movement. But the history of fraternities at Monmouth dates back to 1865 when chapters of Delta Tau Delta and Beta Theta Pi were chartered. A chapter of Phi Gamma Delta was established in 1866. Phi Delta Theta and Phi Kappa Psi followed in 1871: and Sigma Chi in 1874. Relations between these organizations were anything but cordial and the college senate in a resolution passed in 1874, ordered all to dis- band. Thus at its outset the operations of Theta Sigma Phi were necessarily sub rosa. The first twelve years of its existence were beset with many difficulties. And in 1902, as a result of the increased severity of the anti-fraternity re- strictions, its existence was discovered. Reor- ganization ensued. This was accomplished mainly by Wayne Pringle who revised the rit- ual and reintroduced many of the time-hallowed traditions. The present name Phi Kappa Pi, was assumed at that time. The following is an excerpt from the his- tory of the fraternity: It was not until many years later, however, that the fraternity was re- cognized by the college authorities. Prior to this time it was impossible to maintain a home, meetmgs were held in every conceivable secret place, and no open activities could be under- taken. By the year 1912, the strict rules had somewhat modified, and the fraternity secured a rented property for its home. In 1922 Phi Kappa Pi made plans for building a permanent home. The present fine structure, completed in the fall of 1928 is the consummation of these hopes. Phi Kappa Pi bears the more informal desig- nation Big 8. Originally its membership was limited to eight, the number of its founders. And in honor of this, the pledge button is traditionally a Big 8. The fraternity is unusually fortunate in hav- ing attached to it two very strong organiza- tions, the Alumni Association, 200 strong, headed by Victor Moffet of Monmouth, 52 members of which served with the colors during the World War, and the Ladies Auxiliary. Membership to the latter organization is con- fined to the immediate female relatives of the fraters. It was organized in 1929 with the purpose of providing articles essential to the furnishing of the new home. The group enter- tains the seniors of the fraternity each spring, sponsors the Annual Christmas Tea and assists at all social functions. The strong position occupied by Phi Kappa Pi on the local campus is, considering its 48 years of turbulent history, a unique achievement.

In the fall of 1928 the chapter of the American Association of Commons Clubs located at Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois, initiated a movement on the local campus which culminated in the formation of the Monmouth Commons Club. A charter was granted in May, 1929 by the college. But meanwhile connection with the national organization had been severed. The group continued until October, 1935 as a local Commons Club when the Greek letters. Delta Sigma Pi, were assumed.

Phi Sigma Alpha, was initiated into the na- tional fraternity of Tau Kappa Epsilon, be- coming the Alpha Epsilon chapter of this or- ganization. Phi Sigma Alpha was founded late in the spring of 1908 as the result of the decision of its five founders, Bruce Galloway, Campbell George, Grier Quay, George Rhodes, and James Thorn, that the benefits of social, educational, and fraternal relationships were best assured in college through the medium of fraternal organi- zation. The operations of the young fraternity were necessarily sub rosa owing to the rigid fraternity ban that existed at that time. Nevertheless the young fraternity had a steady growth, and through it members it was represented in all the phases of college life. On April 6. 1917. the day of the declaration of war with Germany, the eighth annual ban- quet was held, and before the end of that spring nearly all the Phi Sigs were under the colors. In all, forty-six members of the fraternity saw service with the army overseas. In the following years, owing to the increased latitude granted to the fraternities, Phi Sigma Alpha realized many of its most cherished aims. In the summer of 1926 the present home of the successors of Phi Sigma Alpha, at 620 East Broadway was purchased, and in March, 1928. the petition of the local for admission to the national was granted, and thus Phi Sigma Al- pha became what is today known at Tau Kappa Epsilon. The national had been founded January 10, 1899 by Joseph L. Settles, Owen I. Truitt, James C. McNutt, Clarence A. Mayer, and C. Roy Atkinson, students at Illinois Wesleyan University. In 1902 the name Tau Kappa Ep- silon was formally assumed. A local fraternity at James Millikin was installed in 1909 as the Beta chapter, and another local this time on the campus of the University of Illinois was admit- ted as the Gamma chapter, on its petition. The national movement gained aided momentum through the years until at this writing there are chapters in forty universities and collges as far separated geographically as George Washington University. Washington. D. C. and the Univer- sity of California at Berkeley, California. Also twelve graduate chapters have been established at strategic points as an outgrowth of T. K. E. ' s slogan. A Fraternity for Life. Illinois, however, is truly the center of T. K. E. with its seven undergraduate and five grad- uate chapters. Alpha Epsilon. a comparative newcomer to the ranks of the national has in its eight years of affiliation assumed an enviable position among its brother chapters — this by virtue of its proximity to the focal point of Tckc and its own record for staunchness and integrity on the Monmouth campus.

One of the group ' s major accomplishments of the year was the introduction of a new Vic- tory song at a Chapel program. The words to the pep-instilling tune were written by Ruth Wagner, president of the organization. The Pep Club, assisted by Professor Hamilton, taught the Victory Song, Here ' s to Mon- mouth College, and other college songs to the student body. Stunts, planned and presented by members of the organization, are a part of the year ' s pro- gram. Cinderella, with the heroine, ' Beatsie ' Hall, in the garb of an M. C. football player, was most enthusiastically received. The stu- dent body showed the real pep of which they were capable when Coach Hart, in flaring skirt, battered hat, and ancient shawl, came limping onto the stage in the role of fairy Godmother. Other characters were Marty Randies and Ruth Wagner as the spoiled, homely sisters of Cinderella, and Win Gasaway as the prince. Jack and the Beanstalk was another fairy story presented in the modern mode by the Pep Club. The pep meeting before the Knox game was opened by a skit that was a take-off on a light opera. Jane Bradley was Victory, Helen Wagner was the hero, and Ruth Nelson, the villian. The Pep Club was represented in the Home- coming Parade by equestrians dressed as cow- boys. Officers President Samuel Akers Vice President Thomas Whelan Secretary-Treasurer Richard Burkhart Corresponding Secretary George McConncll Faculty Advisor Herbert L. Hart The Monmouth College men who have earned their letters for participation in sports make up the membership of the M Club. The purpose of the organization is to promote sportsmanship and help to further Coach Hart ' s athletics-for-all program. The group ' s first activity of the year is in the fall at the Pole Scrap. Upon that occasion they act as blanket providers and peace makers . During the rest of the year, they officiate at bat- tles not quite so fierce — intramural games. The two big events of the year for M Club members are the stag picnic in the spring and the joint meeting with the Knox K Club. This year, on December 4, the group enter- tained the football squads and coaches at a ban- quet. Appropriate comic place cards marked the places for one hundred guests including club members, freshman and varsity squads, coaches, and outside guests. Toasts were made to Paul Barnes and Tom Whelan, all-state gridders. to Dr. Ralph Graham, the team ' s physician, and to Coaches Hart and Woll. In recognition of the successful work thev had done during the season. Coaches Hart. Woll, Saville. and Frant- zen received gifts. Following the dinner, the men were entertained by the following acts: Maolewood Boys ' Sextet. Lutz — the Trained Seal. Morton Wilson — Hill-Billy Songs. Gracie Peterson — Songs and Chatter. Coach Hart — Fm Just a Prairie Flower. Celebrating the fifth consecutive Thanksgiv- ing victory over Knox College and the sharing of the Little Nineteen football title with Milli- kin, a special chapel was held at which time Dr. McMichael presented Scotch plaid ties to M Club members and other men on the football teams. Scotch plaid scarfs were given to the coaches and trainers. The M Club has 18 members. Pajre Ninety-seven Page Ninety-eight To date Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity is leading the intramural athletic league with 472 points, closly followed by the Phi Kappa Pi ag- gregation with 442 1-3 points and Beta Kappa team with 429 11-12 points. The Tekes started off last fall in the usual fashion and won handily in the touch football league. Again their high scoring team went through the season undefeated and unscored upon. The Phi Kaps were second, the Beta Kappas third, and the Tiny Tots fourth. The volley ball season saw a new winner, the Beta Kappas, crowned champions. After the scoring was finished and tabulated for volley ball, the three leading teams for the year ' s tro- phy were very closely bunched. The Beta Kap- pas were in front with 267 points, the Tekes second with 258 points, and the Phi Kaps third with 250. Another new champion came to the top in the basketball race when the Phi Kaps won a closely contested battle. Last year ' s champs, the Beta Kappas, were forced down to fourth position as Pop Sherwood skillfully guided his charges to victory. The winners scored 112 3-4 points and the Bears were in second place by virtue of tallying 98 1-2 points. By scoring 89 1-2 points in the two swim- ming meets, the Tekes climbed back into the league lead. The Beta Kappas clung to their second place by taking second in the tank meets, while the Commons Club did their most heavy scoring of the season as they tallied 20 3-4 markers.

' ..,.... l M.|fca H l SUB rrjKj- Page One Hundr Officers President Frances Enston Vice President Mildred Jackson Secretary-Treasurer Marian Smith Advisor Mary Weir The Women ' s Athletic Association is a group of Monmouth College girls who meet regularly to plan a program of sports for the women on the campus. The purpose of this organization is to promote the health education by encourag- ing the formation of health habits and promot- ing interest and participation in all forms of physical activity which make for health and efficiency. Any girl is eligible for membership in the or- ganization who has earned a total of 125 points For each hour of athletic activity, five points are given. To the girl earning 1200 points, an M letter is given, and if 1500 points are earned, a sweater and letter are awarded. Those girls now in school who are wearing the M are Frances Enston, Mildred Jackson, and Al- lyene Norris. Points may be earned in group play or in such activity as golf, cycling, skating, or hiking. Supervised instruction is given in hockey, basketball, swimming, tennis, baseball, soccer, volleyball, and archery. Greatest interest was aroused this year by the class tournaments in hockey and basketball and the swimming carnival. The crowning event of the hockey season is usually the annual Home- coming game between the winner of the inter- class tournament and a picked team. The soph- omores, tourney winners, did not have the op- portunity to try their skill against a selected team of opponents this year due to the poor con- dition of the field on a rainy Homecoming Day. The sophomore girls won the final game of the tournament by a score of 4-0. The captains of the various teams were: Dorothy Wright, up- perclass: Gladys Quade, sophomore; and Mary Gillham, freshman. The second year class showed their versatility by winning second place in inter-class basket- ball. This round-robin tourney, under the supervision of Miss Mary Weir, women ' s ath- letic director, was won by the senior team. Flora Hauhart, who captained the winnig sex- tet, urged on her team-mates to defeat Dorothy Mack and her contingent by a single point in the final game (score, 11-10). This tourna- ment was a closely fought one and aroused con- siderable interest in the student body. The class captains were: Flora Hauhart, senior: Peg Lax- son, junior; Dorothy Mack, sophomore: and Mary Eraser, freshman. Practices for various games are held three times a week. During basketball season, the big gymnasium is used on Saturday morning for tournament play. The use of the college swim- ming pool is given to the girls after the Saturday practice. Swimming is another sport which has a large number of devotees. Instruction is given in dif- ferent strokes, diving, and life-saving metehods. Allyene Norris and Ruth Anne Riegel secured their state examiners ' life-saving certificates this year. Miss Mary Weir received hers at the same time and Betty McClenahan renewed hers. Other Monmouth women who are qualified Red Cross examiners are Mildred Jackson. Frances Mills, and Dorothy Wright. A Water Carnival, in charge of Miss Weir and Ruth Anne Riegel, chairman of the committee, was presented April 1 7. An aquatic dramatiza- tion of Cinderella was given by the girls. The ball room scene was vivid with costumed groups in various swimming formations. Social gatherings are sponsored by the athletic organization. A waffle breakfast was held at the home of Miss Weir at the beginning of the second semester. Hikes, hamburger fries, and picnics are held at frequent intervals. Initiation for new members takes place at a historical spot in Monmouth Park — the Weiner Tree. The Women ' s Athletic Association has twen- ty-four members this year who take active part in all forms of sport.

The Lutherans from Carthage were the newly crowned champions followed in order by Western Teachers, Augus- tana and Monmouth. Although finishing last, the Scots were close on the heels of the other closely bunched teams. Only three first places were copped by the Red and White squad in this year ' s running of the eleven year old me et. Tommy Whelan won the 120 yard high hurdles, Dave Russell gal- loped home the winner in the two mile, and Clarence Bucheneau tossed the shot for a first place. Only six lettermen remained from last year ' s team and of these, two failed to report this spring due to injuries sustained in football. Barnes, pole vaulter; Tommy Whelan, hurdler de luxe; Ray Grills, two-miler; and Jim Mar- shall, broad jumper, were the four to answer the call. Ed Barron, Little Nineteen sprint champ, and Bob Olenick, weight tosser, both suffered injured knees taking part in the fall gridiron wars and were unable to compete in the track program. Along with these there were several non-letter winners from last year ' s squad and also some talented sophomores. Danny Whitmarsh and Dave Russell were distance runners on the fresh- man team last year. Russell has already ex- hibited his wares by copping the above men- tioned victory. Vernon Van Dewoestine is the Scot half-miler, ' Tlash Morgan and Bob Gor- don both run the quarter mile, and Gordon also runs the 100 and 220 yard sprints. Paul Hen- dricks, high jumper; McCulloch. weight man; and Don Bolender, pole vaulter and javelin tos- ser, make up the rest of the Scot squad. A large and promising first year track squad turned out this spring and the freshmen ' s per- formances indicated that they will warm the heart of the varsity coach next year. The fresh- men served warning that they were to be reck- oned with later as they carried off a large share of the honors in the intramural meet. The yearling squad won its place in the sun when it took the measure of the varsity in an early season meet. The youngsters did not score heavily on first places, but practically monopo- lized the other places. With three events yet to be run, the freshmen had copped four first places as compared to nine for the varsity, but were leading the meet by a 99 1-2 to 94 1-2 score. Jim Harreld, Glenn Kilgore, Dint Hamil- ton, and Jose Almaguer placed first, second, fourth and fifth respectively in the 100 yard dash, while Harreld. Jim Vipond, and Charles Milnes came home in the respective second, fourth, and fifth positions in the 220 yard dash. In the broad jump Almaguer, Kilgore, and DeCloedt grabbed the first three places and Blond Bob Burgess exhibited his wares in fine style in the half mile run as he came home first closely followed by his team-mate, Blak- eney. Other poirt winners were Turner, in the half mile; Ziegler, in the two mile; Vickers and Skin- ner, in the high hurdles; Keach, in the high jump; and Vickers, Skinner, Milnes, and Peck all placed in the weight events.

Sadly neglected by good weather in the early season, the Scots were forced to spend consider- able time inside the gymnasium and hadn ' t had much real baseball practice under their belts when the first games were played, but gave a very commendable account of themselves in spite of that. Only four letter men reported to Coach Bob- by Woll, but these four were accompanied by some very promising graduates from last year ' s freshman ranks. These sophomores managed to take over four of the team ' s positions. The re- turning letter men are L. Pogue, J. Reed. B. Ole- nick, and B. Andreen. Other members of the squad are Mac Pogue, R. Nelson, J. Lusk, H. Clark, G. Lucas, C. Dew, G. McConnell, E. Fairman, and D. Kuntz. Although the ranks of the swimming pros- pects were sadly riddled by the first semester on- slaught of the professors, those who were left carried on in great fashion and the team was the first Scot aggregation in recent history to win a swimming meet. This lone victory was scored over the team ' s arch rivals, the paddlers from Knox. Other than winning the Knox meet, several of the members of the team turned in favorable performances in other contests. Eddie Fairman was always good for either first or second in the dives, while Morgan, Thomas, and Mar- shall picked up a considerable amount of points in the back stroke, breast stroke, and 220 yard free style. Barnes, Thomas, Marshall, Fairman and Morgan all saw service in the relay teams. In the Midwest Conference swimming meet held at Appleton, Wisconsin. Fairman and Mor- gan each brought home trophies in the form of medals, Fairman winning first in the diving and Morgan placing fourth in the 220 yard free style. Page One Hundred Five The 1935 May Fete served as a climax to most of the college activities of the spring. Jane Hoyman was crowned May Queen by Chancellor Don Irwin. After the band concert, the senior procession formed in front of the Chapel. John Hermann as crown bearer and Sally Hermann as flower girl led the procession to the throne on the steps of Wallace Hall. The Queen was in white organidie, and her Ladies in Waiting, Janet Randies, Kathryn Surratt, Ruth Swanson, and Katharine Ramsey wore picture hats and ankle length dresses in pastel shades. The attendants were Russell Hutchison, Dean Robb, Dave Acheson and Fred Field. The senior women, dressed in white, carried the chain of fern. After the Queen was crowned, the freshman and sophomore girls wound the May Pole. Frances Mills was in charge of the Fete.

Pag:e One Hundred Seven Puth Graham Page One Hundred Eight Cuth Wylie Pape One Hundred Nil Ten Talking Points! For Anti Knocks College EDUCATIONAL STANDING— Anti Knocks is the only college founded and main- tained solely for the purpose of educationalizing crime. It is approved by the Associa- tion of American Marauders and is held in high esteem by criminal circles the world over. EQUIPMENT AND ENDOWMENT— Anti Knocks is technically equipped to instruct in any feld of criminology better than any like organization. It is highly inspirational to undergraduates and specialized enough to appeal to graduate workers. It has one of the finesf Damnitories in the country. Its athletic equipment is unparalleled. Its orig- inal grant of $50,000,000.00 has rapidly increased to $50,000,000,000 by the unique ex- pedient of requiring each graduate to send back 2 per cent of hs total intake the first year afte graduation. SUPERIOR TEACHING FORCE— Anti Knocks ' professors have done extensive re- search work as well as formal study and have benefitted by actual experience as well as theory. Long term professors are preferred. Two heads of Departments have 99 years and several assistant professors have from twelve to twenty-five years. Most of the faculty have served terms in institutions outside the LTnited States. ACHIEVEMENT OF GRADUATES— Graduates of Anti Knocks Colle.ge are leaders in their fields. And so extensive is the variety of courses offered in Anti Knocks that every field of criminology is feeling the force of A. K. ' s leadership. 5. COSMOPOLITAN STUDENT BODY— Anti Knocks draws students from all arcs of the globe. Its appeal is universal and its outlook is universal. Students come from our distant neighbors to study American methods and often get numbers in Sing Sing after graduation through the efforts of the College Placement Bureau. 6. A SMALL AND PERSONAL COLLEGE- At Anti Knocks the students are picked by a committee of about twelve men. They are picked for their proven ability and desire to study further. Thus the student body is restricted, and there is encouraged the desire to lieat one ' s own record. 7. CRIMINAL ATMOSPHERE— The aim of the faculty and students of Anti Knocks is to create an atmosphere most likely to shield the weaker students from the invasion of the outer world and to encourage everywhere the development of criminal capacities. 8. INACCESSIBILITY — Anti Knocks is located at Ethyl, which is protected on the North by Bud Fannigan ' s Machine Gun Corps, on the West by Pete Poppo ' s Pineapple Squad, on the South by Danny Durray ' s Deluxe Armored Cars, and on the East by seventeen professional Muscle Men. 9. LOW COST — Because of the unusually large endowment. Anti Knocks is able to allow every student at least one year of free instruction. At the end of the year if he has showed his ability to the satisfaction of the administration, he is given a scholarship coverin,g the cost of the remainder of his scholastic term and is called a Guest of the Estate. 10. ENTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES— Anti Knocks encourages extra-curricular activities. Every department has an organization wdiose purpose is to help the students find self-expression in the arts. The Killers ' Klan produced Murder by the Clock in ' 36 with reality and sincerity. There are two social organizations ; the AADD and the AAAAADDDD. iiiHiigigigiHiiipiiiiiaiissiiaiaiiiiiiiaisiiissisiHiasiaiiiassisiiHisisiiiiisisiiiiiiisissHssgisiiiEiiis Page One Hundred Ten A PCCSPECTLS Corruption is as old as mankind. Teaching of corruption is as the day after tomorrow. Anti Knocks College was founded to fulfill and perpetuate the ideal of that great idealist, Billy the Kid. Education, he was wont to say, is the greatest influence of today. It is only through education that we can make the world safe for corruption. ' He framed the slogan which started as a whisper and grew to a shout throughout the criminal world. Educationalized corruption in every home. Billy fired his associates with such enthusiasm that in less than a week from their commence- ment, plans were completed for an institution equipped to train the youth of the land in their chosen field. Business acquaintances gave up $50,000,000,00 in trust to the school for its upkeep and the furthering of investigation. A Board of Criminal Conformity was formed to take charge of the fund. With a discernment seldom found in a man of Billy ' s idealism, he chose the site for the col- lege. He had in mind a pleasant community where the characters of his students were unlike- ly to be touched and tainted by the life of the Outer World, yet where there would be ample opportunity for the scholars to study men and methods in crime first hand. Ethyl suited his purpose admirably. It was permeated with an atmosphere of corner drug stores and bowling alleys calculated not to disturb the fine balance of his educational enterprise. It was just an easy drive from the great state institutions at Joliet and Pontiac. With equal discrimination he chose the facul- ty for this institution. He recruited graduate workers from Sing Sing, Devil ' s Island, and Alcatraz. He gathered to him international criminals and Public Enemies from one to ten. He gave them sufficient remuneration and ade- quate protection to enable them to devote their whole capacities to instruction and guidance. An educational program of speakers was pro- vided for. Men prominent in their field were to be brought to Anti Knocks where they de- scribed, discussed, and demonstrated their work. A sum was set aside to finance a yearly outing to Shots-go when each student was apprenticed to a master criminal for one week. This was to see if the student could stand the gaff and to pro- vide an opportunity for the forming of friend- ships which would prove influential in After Life. Among the more than 500 graduates from Anti Knocks arc numbered recognized leaders in all fields of criminal activities. Such men as Snakey Joe, second story worker. Duke Man- ners, expert confidence man. Ace Slattery, card shark. Petrol Pete, safe cracker, and Billy Bailey, mammy song writer, are proud to sing that grand old song, Anti Knocks. Tis Thee We Honor. And it is to the efforts of Death Kiss Mary we owe the immortal Anti Knocks cheer: Give ' im the GAT! Give ' im the GAT! Give ' im the GAT! WHERE? Right in the PUSS! Right in the PUSS! Right in the PUSS! THERE! But Anti Knocks appeals not only in so far as the curriculum and faculty are concerned. It has a social life very valuable to young people. After school had been in session about three months, an organization was formed among cer- tain of the students for mutual help and admira- tion. The AADD, Amateur Association for the Development of Debauchery, was off to a sinful start. Not many weeks passed when a rival organization was founded with similar aims in different words, the AAAAADDDD, commonly called the Awful Amalgamation of Amateur Associations for the Amelioration of Distraught Developers of Durable Debauchery. These student organizations afforded the neces- sary relaxation from intensive study and helped develop initiative, poise, and cooperative speci- alization .

What a change in the last thirty-three years — ' tis indeed the march of swiftly rolling years — the flash-flash of many events in Monmouth College history. During all these years, years of struggle, followed by prosperous years, then the roll of drums followed by years of doubt and struggle. Whether thru the smile of victon.- or the sting of de- feat Dr. McMichael has constantly pressed forward to new achievements. Every nation — e -ery institution — has its outstanding figure: — no statue needs to be built to his memory, but his memory is burned into the hearts of the people. So it is with Dr. McMichael — wherever Monmouth College is mentioned, to him is given the accolade of love and tlie distinction, The builder of Monmouth. We all thank you, Doctor, for those many years, and we hope that you will continue to think and plan for Monmouth College.

For Use by Monmouth Students When Talking Monmouth to Their Friends 1. EDUCATIONAL STANDING— Only one-fourth of the colleges and universities of America are on the approved list of the Association of American Universities. Monmouth ' s name is on this list and also on the list of every other important educational association. 2. EQUIPMENT AND ENDOWAIENT— Monmoutli has twelve well equipped build- ings on an attractive thirty-acre campus. Monmouth ' s gymnasium and athletic field provide an equipment for sports unexcelled in the Mid-West. Her endowment of two million dollars is much more than that of most colleges of her size and type. 3. CHRISTIAN ATMOSPHERE— The aim of the faculty and students of Monmouth is to maintain an atmosphere which is friendly, democratic, inspiring, and favorable to the development of Christian ideals. 4. ACHIEVEMENT OF GRADUATES— Monmoutli graduates are in leading positions in business, education, government, journalism, law, medicine, ministry, social service, and many other fields, 5. COSMOPOLITAN QUALITY— Alonmouth is not like a local college. She is free from the provincialism which is likely to (levelo| in an institution in which nearly all of the students come from the vicinit_ - of the college. Last year, students came to Monmouth fri.m twenty-four States. 6. ACCESSIBILITY — Monmouth ' s location on the main line of the C. B. Q., the M. St. L. and a north and south division of tlie C. B. Q., makes access ijy rail convenient. Also, Monn ' outh is on important State and National highways. 7. LOW COST — Not many colleges of Alonmouth ' s equipment and educational standing have kept their charges for tuition and fees to a figure so low as Monmouth ' s. 8. A SMALL AND PERSONAL COLLEGE— At Monmouth a student is encouraged to do his best because his work and achevements are known to the whole college community. The student retains his individuality, he is not lost in the crowd, 9. SUPERIOR TEACHING FORCE— There is an unusual stability to the Monmouth Faculty and long tenure of office is the rule. Monmouth teachers are well trained. About half the heads of departments have the Ph. D. degree and others have the equivalent in training and experience. As an evidence of the breadth of culture of the Monmouth faculty, it may be remarked that one-third of the Monmouth teachers have studied or have taught in European universities, and several have had extensive foreign travel. 10. BROAD PROGRAM OF ENTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES— Monmouth ' s good record in athletics is well known to hi.gh school students. She is equally suc- cessful in forensics, dramatics, music, journalism, and other fields. For Information Address PRESIDENT T. H.

First of all I thank Henny, the business manager, who went beyond his quota, took care of all the loose ends, and carried more than his share of the editorial burden. He made the book possible. I thank Sully, Nebraska sunflower, super- salesman for J. 5 O., who kept the thing mov- ing along all year. To Joe Sherrick should go the credit for snap pages and some group photographs. The infor- mal group pictures arc due to the ingenuity of Bill Bell. My thanks to all the staff for getting the copy in on time, which was something unusual for annual staffs. And I am grateful to Art. Happy, Web, and the rest of the boys at Commercial Art for their patience with me and care with the printing. That is all — and I am happy! I hope you like it. — Johnny Moffett. xa; M, 3?
