What makes the Fine Arts Building so important? Well, n t only do w e have most of our classes here, but this building also claims the privilege of housing our senior girls. On cold days we outsiders envy the Phi Alpha Beta girls their opportunity to dash to class sans coats and mittens, simply sprinting down- stairs at the last minute bef(jre the whistle l)l._.ws. All roads, they say, lead to Rome. . . .and it seems as if all walks lead to the libe. And why shouldn ' t they? That ' s where we register for our courses, do our studying, pav our bills.

AameS J arper jrier Guiding Monmouth through the fourth war in its history, Dr. Grier shares with the presidents of other Hberal arts col- leges tlie task of preserving the ideals of a liberal arts education for the future, as well as maintaining its standards during these war vears. Whether hurrying to chapel with sheaves of announcements, conferring with officers of the Flight Preparatory School, or taking time to attend to the recjuests of students, such as our Ravelings photographer who snapped him here, life is busy for M. C. ' s president these days but never too busy to take a deep personal interest in the welfare of every student.

The sororities agreed td hold a joint sijcial function rather than their separate fall formals as were customary before. Music was furnished bv the cadet crchestra, and Winter Wonderland decorations were provided by the pledges working imder a committee of social chairmen from each sorority. Pan-Hellenic ' s members for 1943 were: I.ouise Whitener and Louise vShimmin, Alpha Xi Delta ; Helen White and Mary Schwalbert, Kappa Delta; Alice Ann Hill and Mary Ann Thome, Kappa Kappa Gamma; Marv- alys Evans and Virginia Weber, Pi Beta Phi. iplia y i Jjeltu We ' re the Alpha Xi Delta girls. . . .we wear the gold and blue . . . . though their cdlurs may be blue and gold that didn ' t prevent the . li)ha Xi skit, P)lack and Tan, from taking first [)lace Stunt Night of Homecoming, 1942. Not long after pletlging, the girls with the quills held their annual fall formal on top deck of Wallace Hall in the good old days when college people were allowed there. The decorations were really decorations false ceiling of multi-colored crepe paper and huge bunches of balloons. The spring formal of the Alpha Xi Delta ' s was combined with a dinner, and girls and their escorts enjoyed dancing at the Monmouth Country Club. Monthly pickle-mixes have been held since pledging in 1943 and the girls have been active in campus activities and social functions during the ' 43-44 school year. 5f - ll% , f -K .•Mc Back Row: Hay.

Since the Navy ' s approval of Monmouth College as one of the twenty colleges and universities selected for the Naval Flight Preparatory School program, wide-spread adjustments ha ' e affected the entire student body. Girls received a week ' s notice before Christmas vacation in December of 1942, packed their belongings during every spare moment. A general mov- ing day was declared by the faculty, and no busier holiday ever hit M. C, as dorms were evacuated and the remaining fellows moved from their fraternity houses to accomodate the girls. During the holidays the administration tackled the immense job of redecorating the fraternity houses, moving the vast array of trunks, suit- cases, and boxes, and preparing to receive the cadets. But somehow, living conditions were adjusted in time, instructors were found to teach ' -5 classes navigation, code, and aer- olog} ' despite a lack of textbooks, and campus life slipped smoothly into the new wartime program.

This was the second usccessive ICC ch;uupir)nship for the Fighting Scots. Bobby had even less material to work with in the ' 43 season. He managed to organ- ize a handful of ci -ilians and a few Naval Cadets, and with this small nucleus undergoing constant change, M. C. repeated her champion- ship perfonuances. Another Midwest title came to the Scots this short season as a result of two wins and no losses. l-iritaa Athletic Director Woll, Cadet We lill Van Tuyl -Freshman Coach 1942-3, 1943-4 Prior to his inductinn into tlie army, Freshman cuach liill ' an Tuyl led his year- lings to an undeteated football chanipinnship.

The fair Scots battled furiously up and down the field, fin- ally emerging with a i-O victory. It was indeed a moral as well as a physical victory for the athletic Amazons. Playing in two periods of i 5 minutes each, the squad of twelve females shared equal h(m irs, but the thrill of scoring the lone goal went to Margaret V ' ittori, a freshman, who sent the puck into the net in the first half of the game. The M. C. coeds played a very aggressive game giving Ivnox very few chances to play in their half of the field. Neither team used anv sub- stitutes. A large crowd of interested spectators followed the twentv-two mem- bers of the hockey team to watch the event. Not all of the large squad plaved, however, for the contest was too close to allow any substitution. The fol- lowing girls were used : Norma Combs, Vivian Knauss, Margaret Vittori, Priscilla Mullins, Grace Walker, Margaret Oilman, Martha McGinnis, Mar- garet Olson, Florence Danielson, Janet Tiffany, Virginia Streeter, and Shir- ley Nelson. Although the coeds were unable to talk turkey with Knox, they did prove in their victorious battle that the women are holding their own at college, while the men are doing their part elsewhere. s keer rd,eucii er5 Cheerleaders Mary Lou Mitchell, Mary BoinI, Aiulrey Babcock, Bud Lyman, and Tommy Carter rejuxenated the student body in the fall of ' 42.

Jack Jai|uet cojiped the ping-[)ong title for College Club, and John Sherrick, a Phi Kap, won the rifle match. J rack — 1942-43 For the first time in many years of M. C. sports, freshmen dominated the varsity track team. Building around a nucleus of two lettermen, Glenn Rankin and Bill Laxson, the squad met Augustana earl}- in the season and came out on the long end of a 70J 2 to 50 2 score. Following the first meet, new talent was discovered in some of the freshmen, among whom were Joe Campbell, Willard Wasson, Don Keith, and Boh Talkin. The latter teamed with Rankin, Laxson, and Dave Stone to set a new college mile rela} ' record of 3 :26.8 in the preliminaries at the Drake Relays. They finished third and fifth respectively in the mile and sprint medley relays of the college division. J rack The performances of Rankin and Laxson highlighted the Midwest meet ; the former scoring 14 points, placing first in the 440, and the latter accum- ulating 26 points, with firsts in the 220 vard dash, low hurdles, and the pole vault. In the low hurdle event Laxson also broke the college and conference record with a time of 24.2. A definite threat throughout the season, Monmouth ' s speed sters lined up a promising future with the sophomores and developing freshmen. Others receiving M letters were Art Howe and Glen Blythe.

Independents, sororities, and fraternities competing with one another and other campus organizations for the coveted first place judges baffled which to choose as every group was geared for victory. Final decision: Theta Chi float, most original; K. D., most beautiful. Social ( Ite But campus affairs still went on much as usual in 1942-43. The fratern- ities and independents still held open houses for the girls such as Van Gundy, alias Joe ' s Joint below. The trio, composed of Weezy Whitener, Betty Kelly, and Connie Carey gave with M. C. songs at football games Knox won the traditional bronze turkey, which mysteriously disappeared at the crucial moment Sororities and frats held their usual fall formals and then came the upheaval as marching feet and drums echoed over the campus and the old college life disappeared, the new began. a i i Social oLiPe . .

In barely a year Monmouth has lost nearly eyery man to the armed seryices, and has seen some of her women go intcj the WAA ' ES and into war industries.

Their letters tell us the new and stranger than fic- tion experiences they are haA ' ing, the places they lune seen. And always they say, I ' m coming back to Monmouth College someday. I hope yon people at home are keeping up the traditions that mean so much when you get away from school for awhile. Keep up the old school spirit. Service i V {en — a.

You number almost 1 ,000, cf whom tweni )-five belong to the Women ' s corps. Of your number who entered the service, fifteen are now represented by the gold stars on our flag, and at least two are in prison camps in Germany and the Philippine Islands. You are not the first army M onmouth College has furnished our government. Three times before our men have marched to training camps and battle lines. But you are our largest army group, and the pride with which M onmouth looks upon her veterans of ' 61 and ' 98 and ' 18 you share with them. May the Cod of battles and Prince of Peace I(eep you safe and returt you home. Our Monmouth campus reflects in many ways the military state of our nation. First, our boys are alrrrost all gone. Of the 320 college men of nornral times, thirty- three have been on our campus during the last two seniesters. Of these about one-half left us to enter the service during the year. Second, our co-eds who arc here in their usual number are living in the fraternity houses, Marshall Hall, and the Fine Arts building. They and a few men carry on the traditions of the college, including the Walk-out arid a part of the athletic program. In spirit and in fact ihey hold the college intact against the day when peace comes and our men return to the campus again. Third, the United States Navy has stationed here a unit of pre-flight cadets. These men in uniform, numbering at times 600 strong, occupy our three Women ' s dormitories and Wallace Hall, and share with the college the gynrnasium and athletic field. We see them as they march back md forth, at the lowering of the colors in the evening, and occasionally at the gymnasium on social occasions. While from many campuses these units are being withdrawn, Monmouth has no intimation that the Navy will not remain throughout the months to come. The Monmouth faculty remaitu at work, and every accustonred tradition and activity of the college awaits your return here as a student or a campus visitor. Some day — may it be soon — you will return home and throughout the years to come you will experience the satisfaction and joy of the service you now render amid the tumult and travail of the nations. May I repeat, the college is proud of its service men and women, and may you be fep safe and strong till the war ends and peace and victory come and you return home. Very cordially yours. tbu L A - Vt Jn W. emoriam- WiLLAED SyMONDS, ' 37 Ensign, U. S. N. R. Chai KS Rird, ex. ' 37 Lieutenant, Arm)- Air Corps Harry Findi ky, ex. 39 Captain, U. S. Army.
