WE DEDICATE Any words that we might use to characterize Dr. Owen seem somehow insignificant, for he is not only a great teacher, but also a very great man. While teaching English to Monmouth students, he inserts into his courses a basis for a way of life. Perhaps the only thing we can say is Thank you, Dr. Owen, for the privilege of studying under you.

Moumoiith is justly proud of her science department, for it is here that men and women are trained to help make a better world. Let ' s have a cup of coffee .... easily the most popular phrase heard about campus. How many hours we spend hi the Union each day ' . Through knowledge and understanding ive become better fitted for life, both now and in preparation for ficture years. Recreation is an important part of our life at Munnioiith, for here ivc have found friendships ithicb will continue throughout our entire liies. WALKOUT .... The Walkout is a tradition at Monmouth. Sponsored by the Y , it helps the freshmen become acquainted both with members of their own class and the upperclassmen. [18] POLESCRAP .... The annual Polescrap, between the freshman boys and sophomore men, occurs one day in the early fall. Bruises and mud bring back memories of the conflict. [19] HOMECOMING .... The Suburban leads the Homecoming parade. Stunt Night, football games, return of the Clan, and the gay dance are all part of Homecoming. [20] CANDLELIGHT SERVICE .... Another Monmouth tradition is the Christmas Candlehght Service. Singing carols of many lands, the choir gives us another memory of college life. [21] MESSIAH .... Under the direction of Mr. Hayes, the annual presentation of the Messiah achieved a new high. A special attraction was presented by the performances of the four guest soloists. [22] THIS IS IT ... . Unquestionably the most popular event of the year is Gracie ' s show. Guys and gals work together to put on a truly profes- sional production. [23] THE OCTOPUS CLUB The Octopus, senior men ' s honorary society, was founded in the spring of 1927 by a group of seniors who saw the need of an organiza- tion to bind together in harmony the various groups on the campus, and to thus carry on, as a unit, the traditions and ambitions of Monmouth College. Banned from the campus in 1942 by a college order that forbade all secret organizations, the Octopus was reorganized and readmitted to campus recognition this year. The eight seniors who comprise the Octopus are selected late in the spring of their junior year by members of the preceding class. The selection is based upon campus activities and contributions to campus life. The identity of members of the Octopus, by tradition, is revealed in the Ravelings that is published just prior to their graduation. A scholarship fund to aid deserving underclassmen has been estab- lished this year. The award, in the amount of 150, will be announced annually at the time of Commencement. The fund is provided by active and alumni members, who presently number 175. Members of the Octopus for the past year were : John Goggin, Frank Testa, Don Tezalc, Burrell Calhoun, Harold Poling, Don White- man, Don Johnson, and Tony Palese. Professor Howard Jamieson is the faculty advisor for the group. [24] eo FRANK TCW r ' £ c [25] Tragedy Trojan Women amm mmm nmm ....

Each engages in inter-school matches, and each enters the National Collegiate Rifle Tournament, in the spring. The teams try to have at least one away from home trip, and one or two matches here. Two of these matches are usually with Knox College. The Rifle Club has been handicapped in recent years by the lack of students suf- ficiently interested in the organization.

Under the more than capable editorship of Ed Brown, the Oracle ' s popularity reached an all-time high. Ed and his staff did the proverbial sweating of blood to meet their deadlines, but the rush to Wallace Hall each Saturday testified to the fact that the finished product was worth their effort. Not many students noticed the change in size of the paper which added a column on each page. Did you? OFFICERS Editor Ed Brown Business Manager Stan Brown [58] UaU OF PUBLIOTIOM Chairman Ed Brown Secretary Dave Fleming To act as publisher is the aim of the newly formed Board of Publications. Com- posed of the editor and business manager of the current Oracle, the editor and business manager of the previous Ravelings, Mr. Fleming, Mr. McMichael, and Mr. Jamieson, the board has as its purpose the unification of the college publications, although the members do not decide editorial policies.

[59] RMELIWGS Everything from shrieking for pictures of the students to soliciting for adver- tising goes into the publication of the book which you are now holding.

[61] COLLEGE CHOIR The primary purpose of the Monmouth College Vesper Choir is to provide the music — as their name implies — for the monthly vesper services in the chapel. From this group, approximately half are chosen for Monmouth ' s Tour Choir. This smaller group, chosen for voice, musicianship, and cooperation, consists of about thirty-two voices, and entertains in Illinois and Iowa, throughout the spring vacation, and later several weekends. .

In its second year on campus, the Sociology Club has served its purpose well — that of acquainting interested students with the problems of our society, and giving an insight into the vast field of social work. Monthly meetings have centered around films and lectures by professional workers in the field of sociology. Membership is not limited; an interest in society and its problems is the sole requirement. OFFICERS President Virginia Haun Vice-President Gwen Keating Program Chairman Ellen Robeson Secretary-Treasurer Lois McMicken Publicity Jackie McGinnes Faculty Advisor Dr. LeRov HufF [69] MTIOiilL COLLEGIATE PLAYERS Doris Colvin, Elsie Buchanan, Betty Smith The aim of the National Collegiate Players is to encourage participation in dramatic performances, play writing, and the study and appreciation of all phases of drama. Membership is by petition to the national organization, and eligibility requires varied and extensive drama and speech courses in school, liberal acting experience, and also experience in technical work in the legitimate theatre. [70] PI KiPPA DELTA Pi Kappa Delta is the National Honorary Forensic Fraternity. The purpose of the fraternity is to encourage forensic activity on the campus. Students may become members after two years of speech work, and after representing the college in inter- collegiate forensics. The organization is allowed a certain budget by the college, and is even given the use of the college station wagon for out-of-town trips — uh, for ten cents a mile.

[71] CRIMSON MASQUE Crimson Masque has been and is trying to get good dramas — good literature — to the Monmouth stage. In its four plays this year it has also kept a good balance between comedy and tragedy. In addition to its weekly meetings, the Masque has special meetings, regularly, for the purpose of supplementing the stage knowledge of members. In addition to their schedule, the Masque sponsors one-act plays, which serve as Masque tryouts, and, in the spring, freshman plays.

One of their important projects has been to found an all-school music scholarship. The aim of this scholar- ship would be to encourage good musicians to come to Monmouth. In this direction, the organization gave a fund-raising Operetta-Minstrel this year.

OFFICERS President Barbara Whiteman Vice-President Joann Weakley Secretary Ann Campbell Treasurer Linda Simmons [75] STIDMT BODY OFFICERS Black, Whiteman, Wickstrom, Testa Furthering student government was the big job of our four student body officers this year. President Don Whiteman, Vice-President Burney Wickstrom, Secretary Jo Black, and Treasurer Frank Testa accomphshed many things during this term of office — not the least of which was the skating party for the entire student body that frosty January evening. Possibly some of their work was more important, but none so popular. [76] STllDEIT COURT The five people pictured below have had the most thankless task in Monmouth College during the past year. Their job Vk ' as to judge the students, deciding whether or not they were guilty of dishonesty during examinations. This is an integral part of our student government, and worthy of much praise, although the group received httle publicity. Row 1 : Danielson, Hatch. Row 2: Wharff, Buchanan, Poling.

The Student-Faculty Committee brings the faculty and students of Monmouth College together, so that each may see more clearly the viewpoint of the other, thus promoting cooperation on the campus. This group takes action on any problems which are brought up in Student Council which may affect the college as a whole. [78] STiiiiEiT mmi Practical experience in democracy is given to the students by the processes of the Student Council, for college governmnt is in the capable hands of these people. Any broad change in the rules is usually suggested by the Council and then presented to the student body for acceptance or rejection. As in the past, this year it has tried to emphasize the importance of honesty on our campus. 9 o S i f - i - Wagner, Beaumont, Brown, Chattan, Black Danielson. Whiteman. McGuire, D.

To be ehgible for initiation, a freshman must have a grade point average of 3.5 in either the first semester of his freshman year, or in his entire first year. His membership is then permanent. Dr. Hugh Beveridge is the faculty sponsor and founder of the organization. Phi Eta Mu gives the rightfully deserved recognition to those men in the freshman class who have conscientiously worked for an education. OFFICERS President Stan Brown [82] um The Monmouth College Band, under Mr. Loya, serves the college in a dual role. It is both a service and a concert band. The organization begins life in the fall, during the football season, when it serves as a marching band; it continues through the winter, during the basketball season, when it becomes a pep band; and in the spring its metamorphosis is completed as it emerges to give a series of six indoor and outdoor concerts. [83] O RCHESTRA Under Mr. Loya, the Monmouth College Orchestra keeps alive symphonic music on the campus. The orchestra gives two concerts annually, provides the orchestral accompaniment for Handel ' s Messiah, given at Christmas, and also for the Spring Oratorio — Mendelssohn ' s St. Paul, this year. The organization also provides an outlet for ensembles. Two string and one woodwind group is now practicing. [84] MUm CLIB The Nerdom Club is a newcomer on Monmouth Campus. Ten girls who were interested in modern dance and felt there was a need and a place for it at Monmouth formed a club to further this activity. The purpose of the club is to instill a greater appreciation of the art in the layman. Membership is open to any girl who can pass the test given by the charter members.

To obtain membership, one must be a member of the W.A.A., must be in Senior Lifesaving, or participate in the annual water pageant, and must pass certain tryout requirements. [86} M CLUB Constituted of the men who have won at least one varsity letter during the year, the M Club has made itself widely known on campus. It is this group which takes charge of the concessions at the games. Another of the chief interests of the group is the raising of money for a new stadium. As is their custom, they again put on a carnival the proceeds of which will go into the stadium fund. Row 1 Row 2 Row 3 Johns McDay, Grice, DeMorest, J. Feehley. Wickstrom, T.

Despite the above record our cinder eaters placed fourth in the Midwest Meet and eighth in the Beloit Relays. Paced by the record-holding relay team and several point-getters, it was a good season. At the end of May and well into June several of the boys entered varied national meets and placed highly in their fields. Big Jud Kreideneir raced to sixth place in the Milwaukee Olympic tryouts as he hurdled in behind Dillard, Scott, and Porter. We have our greats here as well as anywhere — just look around.

We of the Ravelings staff, in behalf of the entire student body, would like to express our appreciation for the fine work that Mr. Craig is doing.

Perhaps this isn ' t one of the better books published by the students of Monmouth College, but I have made a very sincere effort to present a panoramic version of Monmouth, 1949. I want to thank each and every one of you for the help you have given me, and in particular I wish to express my appreciation for the fine work done by my sports editors. Bill Lynch and Buck Buchanan, and for the cooperation I have received from Dave Fleming, the advisor. Like Thomas Edison, I now know ten thousand things not to do while publishing a yearbook, but learning has been fun. I hope you find as much pleasure in reading the Ravelings as I had putting it out.
