Miss Jean LiEdmax. Long to be remembered by both the Navy and the College, for her mischeivous grin, her insistence on the rules, her red coat, and her guilty love for candy, Miss Liedman was occasionally reviled, but less often than are most persons in positions of authority. We quaked when she came charging up the Teke House stairs to quell some disturbance, but we always drifted downstairs again to ask advice, gripe about the plumbing, or just talk about the latest book. Debate trips were anticipated, not only by the debaters, but by the whole house, because of the candy that she always managed to find and bring back. As Miss Liedman leaves Monmouth to go back to school herself, we wish her good luck and a speedy return. . . . DEDICATION Hitting the books foi die first time — this poor freshman symbolizes the in- dustry with which M. C. students can study. And do, too, if the proper occasion arises. What does that expression signify? Boredom? Concen- tration? Dreaminess? It might be any one of them. In the following pages we present the names and faces of the students of Monmouth College in the historic year of war ami victory in Europe. . . . CLASSES Carey W ' kbkk OUON Both the first and the last in everything, the Class of ' 45 experienced one year of honest to goodness college life, led by Bill Wells during which it was defeated in the last real pole scrap. It witnessed the beginning of the war, and the end of the war in Europe. Its ranks have been very hard hit by the war. Lost, strayed, or stolen, the fellows left for service and the girls went to summer school in order to graduate early. Bob Elliott directed its second year. Then LeRoy King took over until he graduated at mid-year. Connie Carey carried on to the end of the year as President of the Senior Class. It taught us all the M. C. traditions and showed us how to carry on. SENIORS Ben Grk.k.wvki.i, Loiise Shim mix SUMMER, 1944 Louise Sliimmin, Vada Treloar, Peg Turner, Ellen Spinsby, and Ben Green- well took advantage of the summer school and were able to finish their work a little ahead of time and graduate with the Class of 1944. They put their education to immediate good use, and went out into the world to make names for themselves. Shimmin is fast becoming that beloved red-haired Spanish teacher at Media High School. Treloar may become the leading laboratory technician of our time. Turner landed a man and settled down to blissful married life as Mrs. Gallop. Spinsby is trying to finish the war before she settles down; she ' s working with the Red Gross. Greenwell offered his newly acquired knowledge to the navy, which i. very appreciative. So we find the five summer school graduates are get- ting al mg tine in the world. Leaving familiar scenes and faces. . • MARY LOUISE BRADFORD ■that wide-awake look.... old Crimson Masque-er.

Buchanan, Street; They can remember their one semester of real college life, guided by that most handsome of men, Bob Surrat, as president. Their only homecoming — Geared for Victory, fraternity open houses, solid dates on Friday nights, and no Saturday classes are only a pleasant memory now. By the next year under the leadership of President Bob Meneilly they had proved they had what it takes Battling their way to victory and well-earned recognition by winning the tug of war. Also the gals beat Knox in that hockey game. . . .but where ' s the turkey? Their sophomore year is full of memories of K-det proms and cadets in general. Just as they were begin- ning to get used to things, it was time to leave and return to see the refreshers take over where the cadets left off. President Mary Lou Mitchell, Vice President Jean Mays, Secretary Virginia Streeter, Treasurer Rachel Bu- chanan, and Representative Ruth Franco stepped right in and led them through another successful year and back to Wallace Hall for classes and open houses. j un i ens GLENNA LU ANGOVE Loveland, Colorado MARTHA SUE BELL Little Rock, Arkansas BETTY BROWN Chicago, Illinois BETTY CHFANEY Springfield, Illinois NORMA COMBS Springfield, Illinois DOROTHY COOPER Arlington Heights, Illinois PEGGY BARTLING Rockford, Illinois BETTE BOWMAN Kevvanee, Illinois [EN.ME MAY BROWN Lincoln, Nebraska JOYCE COLVIN Dhariwal, Punjab, !n l MARY ANN COOLEY Chicago.

Caught ofi her guard, that scowl is caused by the sun, and not by any feeling of anim- osity. This informality is typical of the friendly relations between student and faculty at Monmouth. We have found our professors indeed to be quite human — their delight in the latest gossip; their almost student-like fondness for food — even their sadistic glee in giving exams. But seriously, Mon- mouth ' s faculty is noted no less for its popularity than for its erudition. If ACUITY James Harper Grier In 1936 Dr. James Harper Crier undertook the job of guiding the policies of our college. C0C0, his orange and white cocker spaniel, is as popular with the students as is his master. Woodbine, the humble abode of our president and his wife, is the scene of the formal senior reception in the spring and the Y. W. reception for freshman girls in the fall. Golf is one of Dr. Crier ' s favorite forms of relaxation. Scene of gracious teas and wall-bursting Y. W. Woodbine parties in the fall. Woodbine is the beloved home of MC ' s president. Dean Cleland The man with the handsome sons is Dean Cleland, who advises students as to whether it is better to take the required subjects at tlu beginning of college, or to put off the suffering as long as possible. This year, he became the proud possessor of the title grandfather. The dignified dean is extremely interested in birds, and is always on the lookout for some- thing new in feathered animals. Dean Gibson The never-ending task of teaching Monmouth College girls to be charming, well-groomed vi mug ladies, and explaining why the seem- ingly unreasonable rules are reasonable, be- longs to Miss Emma Gibson. Her aversion to young women who clothe their limbs in jeans and plaid skirts, and who wear tin curlers in their hair in public, is well-known. Our distinguished Dean of Women has a talent for presenting her friends unique and useful gifts. Miss Gibson is quite domestic, and her whipped cream cake is long remembered by the fresh- man and senior girls who attend the annual teas given in her cozy apartment. These impressive columns are part of Monmouth ' s temple of learning Wallace Hall, in which these professors spend a good deal of their time i y v ' t « i A A L Russell Baldwin Music, Germ Hugh R.

McGeehon Alumni Director Lola Lambert Dietician NOT SHOWN Ruth Garwood Spanish This is a composite picture of a thrilling moment in the lives of a lot of girls — the culmination of a summer of planning, and two feverish weeks of rushing. After the clever informals, the gustatory formals, and the heart- in-mouth silent period come the glory and heartbreak of pledge day. And then follows a year of activity — bridge parties, inter-sorority events, dances, culture meetings, pledge exams, and finally, the second great day in a soror- ity girl ' s life — initiation. And of course, Monmouth ' s one remaining active- fraternity furnished many of the year ' s social events. Here follows a rough sketch of Greek life at Monmouth CEGANIZATIICNS Combs, Mclntyre, Schleich, Weber. Ffdders Mitchell, Thome PAN-H ELLEN IC CCUNCI L The Pan-Hellenic Council is essential to successful cooperation among the sororities on campus. It is composed of the president and one other member of each group. It insures fair play in everything that concerns the four sororities, particularly during the rushing season. It has been the custom, the last few years, for the Alpha Xi ' s, K. D. ' s, Kappas, and Pi Phis to sponsor a fi rm?l dance in the fall to take the place of the former traditional sorority formals. This year a very success- fi 1 dam e was planned by the Pan-Hellenic Council using vVhite Christmas as its theme. Biddie Biddison and his orch ;stra provided the music, creating a spirit of Christina ; gaiety as did the Christmas tree and icicles decoratiiv; the gymnasium, the attractive refreshment table, anc the snow-covered, pine tree-decorated dance programs.

Phi Delta Sigma, in 1903. The jolly Alpha Xi ' s spent the year enjoying their monthly Pickle Mixes; culture meetings, their an- nual tea for the Alumnae ; open house tea for the three other sororities on campus; and the exchange celebration of Founders ' Day with Alpha Chapter at Knox College. In the spring, the alumnae chapter entertained the chapter at a tea in honor of the graduating seniors and their families and redecorated the chapter room in double blue and gold. The chapter supported the war effort this year with a drive for old and new books for servicemen and a junk jewelry collection, and they gave their annual donation to th e Alpha Xi Delta Red Cross project. Yen will recognize the Alpha Xi by her golden quill. This year ' s officers were: president — Norma Combs, vice president — Jean Mclntyre, secretary — Rae Barker, and treasurer — Mary Alice Prescott.

Because of the war there were no sorority dances, but the four sororities got together and put on a smooth Pan-Hell formal. Yes, indeed, the girls are proud of this year ' s K. D. cut ups.

Quite often in the evenings one can hear the girls singing the old familiar words, I see you now, wear- ing my pin The girls have enjoyed living at the Phi Kap House especially in the spring when the sun turns the grass green on the large lawn. However, they are looking forward to the day when they can move back to Grier Hall and make room for the returning Phi Kaps. PHI KAPPA PI Only the large white house still stands to remind the students of the powerful force once exerted on the campus by the Tekes. Although all of its members are now in armed forces and girls have filled its rooms, some- how in spirit it still stands empty — waiting for the return of the Teke brothers. We ar e all looking forward to the day when the fellows can come back and again take over their big white house on the corner and their place in campus affairs. TAIL IIyAPIPA EPSILCN Bob Mem-illy. Dick Johnson Theta Chi is the only fraternity that has been able to remain active during the war. Last fall under the able leadership of LeRoy King and Bob Meneilly, the fraternity held a modified form of rush week and pledging. In December the boys held a Theta Chi formal at Holt House which was a great success. Later when the time came for initiation there were not enough active pins for the new initiates so the Theta Chi sweethearts came to the rescue. Theta Chi pins were disconnected from the sorority pins and were loaned to the boys during those exciting weeks after initiation when even-one so loves to display his pin.

There is a club for specialists in almost every school department, and many of gen- eral interest. Also pictured in this section are the different departments of Monmouth ' s student government, which has functioned so effectively in the past year. And there are plenty of opportunities for majoring in extra-curricular activities. ACTIVITIES jjF : : 1T Meneilly. Conwell, Hyle Ginny Hyler led M. C. through its 90th year with flying colors. The freshmen were really given a tough time when Ginny called for a freshman parade. She made such a strong plea for lights in the Wallace Hall Blue Room that we began to feel the gavel pressing against our conducraniums. Susie Gordon and Bob Meneilly shared the office of vice president. We owe them a vote of thanks, or should we say blame, for such stunts as Spring Fashions for M. C. Coeds, presented by the fellows on campus. Mary Lou Bradford took her share of minutes at student faculty meet- ings and student body chapels. Her signature has been impressed on the M. C. annals. Note that we had no graft scandals this year — thanks to the presence of Syd Conwell in the department of Facts and Figures. STUDENT CEEICEDS Front Row: Hutchison, Kilpatrick, Baxter. Renz. Gordon.

It holds a banquet every spring for new- initiates. Members this year were Mary Louise Bradford, Claire Brown. Arline Picken, and Mary Ann Thome. NATIONAL COLLEGIATE PLAYERS Michael Cajoles Lee, with some success. A Tense Moment for Michael Frame and his SISTER This year the combined Crimson Masque and Community Theatre with the assistance of the navy, put on four full-length plays, as well as several one-act ones. The first play was the much-discussed Tomorrow the World, which starred talented young Alan Larson as the Nazi-trained boy. Navy dream- boy Ev Freed as Michael Frame, the boy ' s uncle; Bonnie Thiemann as his spinster sister; and Arline Picken as his fiance also turned in stellar per- formances. Avis Youngberg as the Scandinavian maid did an especially convincing job. The next performance was the popular Junior Miss, starring Anne Kniss and Claire Brown as Judy Graves and Furry Adams, presented on December 6, 7, and 8. MC ' s matinee idol, Dr. Lynn Turner, played the part of Willis Reynolds, opposite Mary Lou Bradford as Ellen Curtis. Glenn Shaver as J. B. Curtis, the boss, was outstanding. MASOUE— THE tTEE n In this scene from Junior Miss, J. B. is noticeably ciia- grinned by something which pleases Willis and Helen. The Stage Manager jerks a soda for til k young lovers of our town. Thornton Wilder ' s revolutionary Our Town, produced without scenery or props, was presented in March, with 1 .eon Moburg and Jeanne Blaylock as George Gibbs and Emily Webb. Roy Fetherston played the part of the Stage Manager, always important, hut more so in this play than usual. The col- lege audience particularly enjoyed Thomas Hamilton as Simon Stimson, the choir director and chronic drunkard. The final play of the season was Angel Street, from which the movie, Gaslight was made. Grace Walker and James Tippett as Mr. and Mrs. Manningham were so hysterically and cold-bloodedly right for their parts that the audience was inclined to wonder zvho was going mad. The setting and costuming for this play were particularly outstanding. The Crimson Masque and Community Theatre enjoyed a very success- ful season, as every play was sesationally popular — with good reason. PRODUCTIONS Front Row: Levering.

Fast becoming a Monmouth tradition is Gracie Peterson ' s annual musi- cal show, using a picked chorus and special soloists. This year the show was called Scandolls of T945 and was a smash success, as always. The premier performance was here in Monmouth at the Rivoli Theater, and the girls made several trips — to Mayo General Hospital in Galesburg and Camp Ellis — to entertain servicemen. SCANDOLLS The sailor at Monmouth is far from being on a vacation, though he is doing a different type of work here than he did at sea or at a Navy station. The above stack of books and unworn dress jumper show graphically the way most refreshers dig in, anil reconcile themselves to the small amount of liberty. Monmouth has been a Navy college for a long time, and i tis proud to be so — we like it! NaVYT Lt. Stuart B. Christian. Lt. Merlin W. Schultz, Lt. Leon T. Fr When M. C.

The most obvious change, of course, was the sight of sailors studying in the library, and of the college students back in Wallace Hall for classes. The Navy occupied the first and third decks of Wallace, sharing the sec- ond with, college classes. The NARU policy has consiter.tly been one of cooperation with the college activities. The Navy men participated in the college mem- orial service in the chapel, held for President Roosevelt, the celebration of V-E Day, and in th Baccalaureate and Commencement evercises. The Navy formals, four in number, have been the high lights of Monmouth ' s social life this year. The dances were planned and staged by a committee of both Navy and college stu- dents, with very good cooperation and grati- fying results. This close cooperation between Navy and college students has made college seem more like old times, and is a forecast of the future, when tilings will be back to normal, and college life will so on as usual. Embarrassed at first by marching to class under the scru- tiny of forty or fifty college girls, new platoons soon settled into the daily routine of classes. P. T., which included these and other spec- ialized forms for talented men, as well as. . . . At night, studying was a necessary e il, but then, too strenuous calisthenics and obstacle - course running for everybody. friendships were made, to be continued at pre-flight, or dis- solved by time and space. fvtVGBITE MEMORIES Visits to sick bay were enjoyable if not made too long or too serious, and. . . . there was always time for a little gaiety and foolishness. Liberty was scarce, but was made pleasant by col- lege, townspeople, and overnights. Every eight weeks there was a flurry of Auld Lang Syne singing, and a few more platoons marched away down Broadway, past porches and balconies full of waving girls. it t U ' Athletics at Monmouth for the past two years have been uneven, both in quality and quantity. However, college students have been faithful in turn- out for every event, from impromptu six-man footba ll to regular basketball games. Our basketball team did shine this year, but probably the event most people will remember longest was the above-pictured football game, be- tween the old and new Navy, on our one-day Thanksgiving vacation. Everyone stood, and it was bitter cold, but there was a big crowd, and tli excitement kept us warm ATHLETICS Front Row : McNulty, Sisson, Bridge. Hartman, Ferguson, Coach Woll Middle Row: Rasmussen, Butler, Stratemeyer, Prestifilippo, Hall, Hill Back Row : Gladstone, Armstrong, King, Soard, Wickoff In spite of the war and a drastically curtailed athletic program Fighting Scot sports fans in Monmouth have had the opportunity of seeing college teams in action this year. The small number of civilian men and a constantly changing Navy personnel would seemingly make a basketball season impossible, but not so with Coach Bobby Woll at the helm. Coach Woll has taken the direction of all athletic programs into his hands ince the other coaches have gone into the armed serv- ices. The souad which started out the basketball season represented some thirteen states and was made up of both NARU men and civilian students. The five civilian members were Leroy King, of Denver, Colorado; David Hill, Bioersville ■ Carl Rasmusen, Aledo ; Paul Robinson, T oy ; and William Gladstone. Walton, New York. All but King were freshmen. The other members of the squad were NARU men, many of whom were out of practice since most of them had served in the fleet for two years. Even with these handicaps, the Scots had a good season and came through with six games won and four lost. The most remarkable player of the year was Leroy Kng who left just before the last game of the season to continue his studies at Bosto n Seminary. King tot- aled more points during every game than any opponent or team mate. Six feet seven, Highpockets played the center position and gave sports fans their money ' s worth.

At this event, the one mile relay in the college division was won by our team, composed of Compton, Brown. Lunka, and Raddi- maker. The first meet was followed shortly by . i second — the North Central Indoor Track Meet on March 24. Monmouth again shone forth by placing third out of a group of eleven competing schools, with a total of 26J points. The Triangle Meet of April 17 was our next chal- lenge. This meet was held between the three schools — Augustana, Carthage and Monmouth, and once again culminated in success for our alma mater. Final scores were : Monmouth, 93 ; Augustana, 65 ; Carthage, 0. The last event on the track calendar was the strictly civilian meet of the Illinois College Conference, held on May 5 at Peoria. Monmouth collected a total of 14 ooints, on the merits of Bob Ameen, who came in first in the javelin throw. Our only entrants were Corretjer and Ameen, competitive scores therefore being worth- less, since other schools had sent full teams. Track lettermen for the years are : Navy : Blanton, Brown Raddimaker, Lunka, Barrow, Wickoff, Lain. Fowler. Civilian: Ameen, Corretjer. TRACK If O O T ID A IL IL Nor was Monmouth at a complete loss for a foot- ball season this year. Indeed, we had all of one day of cracking football in our season. That was the NARU football game, held on the afternoon of Thanksgiving Day. With the grit and fight that was born in them in the wide blue Pacific battle waters, the two NARU teams battled to a fiercely fought scoreless tie before 1,300 eager football fans on the college grid. The entire game was a defensive one, with both teams failing to penetrate past the other ' s 20 yard line. For the white-jerseyed Old Navy, it was their surpris- ingly hard-hitting light line that threw up a barrier of defense that allowed the backfield of the New Navy to make but two first downs. But in true football irony, it was that same AU-American led Red backfield which smothered the Old Navy ' s passing attack, and time and time again, stopped their fleet backs as they scampered past the line of scrimmage. Fowler of the New Navy and Garber of the Old Navy brought the crowd to its feet many times. Fowler tucked the second half kick-off under his arm on his own 10 yard line, and drove SO yards up the sidelines before falling to Everett, the White ' s last man between him and a touchdown Fullback Dauser was the work- horse of the Whites, for besides smashing through the Red ' s line for good gains, he played guard on defense and did his team ' s punting. It was his and Rooney ' s plunging that gave the Whites five first downs to the Reds ' two. For the New Navy, Georgia ' s All-American B Ian ton showed some of his Rose Bowl form by rifling two pass completions and watching in dismay as his team mates failed to hold on to at least three more. A New Navy center, Mullen, was inj ured in the second half and had to be helped from the field. The final gun left the crowd reminiscent of the many exciting games witnessed on that same field a few years ago. That was Mon- mouth before the war. The football season included further, intramural touch games by the navy, complete records of these games being unavailable. The navy also held intramural competition in swimming, Softball, and tennis ; with ev- ening Softball games especially popular among the coed spectators. % ' •; ' £? $ V i tW,.-! - .;. ' The girls ' hockey team helped to fill the gap left in sports by the men of the college this year. Banged elbows, skinned shins, and stubbed toes were the ob- jects of sympathetic, but non-participating roommates ' sympathy and bandages. However, addicts claim it is great sport, and the more scars, the more scores. The game between freshmen and upper class women enter- tained anxious parents on Parents ' Weekend, and ended with a hard-fought tie, 3-S. The swimming season was highlighted by the water pageant, Kalendar Kapers, directed by Ticky Burgess, girls ' athletic instructor. King Neptune reigned on the sidelines as his court of bathing beauties, symbolizing the months, formed a background for the numerous races and formations. The freshmen were victorious in the races, with the sophomores coming in a close second. NARU representatives and coeds exhibited some fancy diving and comedy relays. The swimming classes presented a number of formations and an ex- ceptional wedding scene done in synchronized swimming. Anothtr important item on the girls ' athletic calendar was intramural basketball, featuring many hard-fought games between csalses. GIRLS 9 SPORTS t } — Faithful spurts fans turn out for every event, as do sailors when pretty legs are in view. They also take part in college athletics whenever possible. J ff fit • Above is the first — and in some ways, most memorable — Navy prom of the year. But Navy Proms are not the only special events at Monmouth. There was the damp day of the Tug O ' War, that unforgettable Sadie Haw- kins weekend — a new experience fur most of the sailors — . the college formals, the Christmas Carol program, the sorority and fraternity dances. as well as, of course, the weekly open houses and college movies, And we won ' t forget, either, the swimming pageant, impromptu parties in class, in- numerable teas, and the Saturday night Open Houses at the different houses. We have had a lot of fun this year SPECIAL TS Monmouth enjoyed four Navy proms this year, and all were well at- tended. Something about seeing sailors in dungarees and girls in jeans work- ing on decorations weeks ahead seems to inspire everyone with a desire to attend, and blind dates were plentiful, as well as the seeing kind. The first prom was the Harvest Frolic, pictured above. Bales of hay furnished prickly seats, and a pumpkin headed sailor was the centerpiece. Then in Desember came the Peppermint Prom, with delectable-looking candy canes. The February Sweetheart Swing was a lacy Valentine affair, but there was nothing like the blue and silver Evening in Paris in April. Every dance has special memories for different people, so we won ' t argue about which was the best! NaVYT proms Come on, Freshmen, pull that rope Surest way to get wet — try not to! Hill climbers got doused by the twisting hose, too. The new tradition of a tug o ' war is really only a mutation from the old one of the Pole Scrap. However, all the tomboys are glad of a change to get their fingers in the roughnecks ' pie, and some of them can certainly scrap 1 The tug o ' war this year pales into insignificance compared to the struggle for the hose afterwards between a bunch of tough upperclass girls and an overpowering number of sophomore boys. It was a wet day for old M. C. ! And some rumors have it that perhaps the scheduled date for the affair was changed — inadverdantly — at the last minute. Well, history can record the events more fullv. irue-c -WaVir At the annual Coronation Ball this spring, students, Navy and faculty healed Constance Carey as she ascended the throne and was crowned 1945 Oueen by Chancellor Robert Meneilly. Attending them 0,1 the court were Mary Ann Thome, Robb McLaughlin, Betty Jirsa, Leon Moburg, Rachel Buchanan. William Gladstone, Mary Louise Bradford and Carl Rasmussen. Following the coronation the queen and her chancellor, assisted by the court, led the grand march, bringing the traditional ceremony to a gala close. Throughout the rest of the evening Miss Carey anil Mr. Meneilly reigned over a throng of happy couples enjoying one of MC ' s most delightful even- ings of the year. CCLLE6E PR CMS ' lie old favorites ring out through the church, and Sni 4HL imi-i J £ V, ' i the different carols Grade has found charm the audience ' s ears. a ' .1 1 • The annual Candlelight Service held at the Second United Presbyterian Church each year is not only one of Monmouth ' s outstanding traditions but it is an essential, living part of MC. Under the expert direction of Grade Peterson the congregation in two services were inculcated with the Christmas spirit by the church choir and its soloists, Jean Mclntyre, Betty Brown, Doris Hippie, Louise Dubois, Constance Carey, lone Ketzle, and Everett Freed of the Navy, and by Wandering Carolers : Connie Carey, lone Ketzle, Bettv Brown, Louise Dubois, Melba Krrebo, Irma White, and Peggy and Nancy Xevius who sang a collection of carols from different lands. CHRISTMAS PECS RAMS LIGHTER MOMENTS CAMPUS SCENES 1 McMichael Home holds many memories for the Class of ' 45 and those before — but now it also means memories for countless Navy men, and even for the war-time students, the front walk has meaning ! East Hall is the only dorm which was converted and has already been reconverted. Working for the Navy, it housed everything from officers to recalcitrant cadets on their way to Great Lakes. Now completely redecorated, it holds a group of lucky freshman girls. z One of Monmouth ' s recent buildings, the gymnasium is a striking build- ing — one of the best. We remember the formals held there, rather than the hours of exercise! Van Gundy, like most of Monmouth ' s dorms now, used to be a private home, but it lias been well-adapted — first for boys and now for girls. A recent new paint job spruced up the inside. This little stone bench is one of the fea- tures of the campus — it makes a pretty pic- ture under the trees. And through the years countless couples have sat upon it in snappy October weather or balmy spring breezes, to quarrel or make up. There have now been two classes of freshmen who have not even seen the inside of Grier Hall, Monmouth ' s fine new freshman-senior dorm- itory. Filled completely at times with sailors or cadets it usually holds only Sick Bay and the staff. This winter view of East Hall is only one of the pretty scenes meta- morphosed by a new snow. And there are usually plenty of snows, too! Here a night shot of Theta Chi points up its massive columns and spacious porch. It looks almost like a miniature Wallace Hall. Above is a composite picture of a few reasons why Monmouth ' s Fight- ing Scots are anxious to finish the war and return. And of course there are also the academic reasons. But Monmouth ' s campus is still as pretty — and so are the girls — as when they left. We are looking forward to seeing them again, too, and hope that perhaps the class of at least ' 50 will start with an even number of fellows and girls. If it does, we will give part of our thanks to Monmouth ' s own section of the armed forces. S IE IP V II C IE M IE N Warren Fernell. Jack Ross, Harold Hann. Glen [Blythe, Frank Ryder, L. L.

ALL THROUGH TH€ Y6ARS - since 1901 - TH€ LOriGS ' STUDIO has contributed, wholly or in part to the building of the photographic depart- ment of THE MONMOUTH COLLEGE RAVELINCS. In reminiscing back — shortly after that time we remember the induction of Dr. Tom McMichael as President of M onmouth College. We loved him through the years and his wife, Minnie, and took a picture of him turning the keys of the College over to Dr. Jim Crier, with their responsibility as President. During those first years we remember so well some of the students of that time, viz., Dr. Charles Wagner, Thomas McCraclfin, Neil McClanahan, Dr. Charles Blair ,]. Clyde McCoy, Dr. Arch Owen, and many, many others who after graduation have gone out in their chosen professions into all parts of the world. Many of the children of these same people have returned to Monmouth College and graduated with honor. We have watched the College grow from the burning of Old Main into a college of many fine buildings and departments. So through the coming years may Monmouth College still be the same college of fine arts and fine people she has always been in the past, is our prayer. LOnGS 7 STUDIO NEWBURY BROS.
