MOM MOUTH -COLLE E MOM MOUTH -XLL1M015 MEET MAXIE MrDOLlGALL I have felt for sometime that Monmouth College needed a cartoon character — therefore, Maxie Mc- Dougall. I first tried him out in the song book, and since no one banged me over the head with a sledge hammer, I introduce him to you again in the follow- ing pages. Maxie is a Scotch Gremlin. Now Maxie is much like you and me, except for a few little details. The only characteristics that gremlins really possess that di stinguish them from the people in whose land they live are: 1. Pointed ears. These are proof of the fact that all true gremlins are direct descendants of hobgoblins. 2. They are very small. They grow, once in a while, to a size of two feet, but these tall char- acters are only found among the aristocratic British gremlins — you know, tails, monocle, cane, etc. 3. They vanish when they are frightened. 4. They are very shy, usually leading rather quiet, sedate lives, except when their anger is aroused, or when they go on one of their binges. 5. Binges. When gremlins do go on these binges (they drink pear juice and become quite intoxicated), they become very devilish. Any time the lights go out, or your girl snubs you, or you flunk a test, or anything happens that you absolutely cannot explain, blame Maxie. I have it on good authority that Maxie has been assigned to Monmouth College for the duration of his career. Of course, when good things happen, you can blame Maxie, too — for he ' s really awfully kind at heart. JOHN WEBSTER FEATURES ACTIVITIES SPORTS GREEKS FACULTY CLASSES € HIS IS MONMOUTH Under the tower of Wallace Hall, moves the steady current of active college life. Using this tower as our theme, and with Maxie McDougall as our guide, we take a look at the year 1949-1950 here at M. C. First, the rush of Freshman Week, Registration, the Polescrap. Then comes Homecoming with the return of the clan. Grade ' s musical show, and the May Fete highlight the spring calendar. We see the activities, the honoraries, the athletics, the Greeks, and finally the faculty and the classes. . . . We see Monmouth, 1950. THE 1951, L: AV E L I N G S FRESHMAN WEEK Highlighting the turmoil of freshman week is the Walk-Out and Mixer. The torch-lighted snake dance down East Broadway tied up traffic and created quite a scene in downtown Monmouth while many acquaintances were made by the all too eager upperclassmen with the wide-eyed freshman beauties. Once again, the tennis courts were converted into a Cinderella Ball — the bonfire, Chinese lanterns, and that good old harvest moon. Wendy and Marilyn finish Walkout. quick tour of the Rivoli on the Couples cut a rug at the Freshman Mixer. REGISTHATION Registration presented an even more perplexing problem to the newcomers. Of course the well-seasoned upperclass- men stood placidly by, watching them trudge from one long line to the next. Under the watchful eye of Miss Inez Hogue, registration is always smoothly undertaken. With our first week of play and registration over, we began the ole grind again. Signing your life away - -r- ' Best mud I ever tasted. [8} POLESCRAP And of course the green and greasy freshmen were unsuccessful against the stalwart soph defenders of the pole. Victory confident sophomores ap- peared on the scene ready to unhand the conniving freshmen. The traditional tourney ground after Round One was well plowed up under the feet of the surging regiments. Round three saw frosh and soph alike .... muddy, greasy, some almost clotheless, and mighty worn out. Square those hats, freshmen, you ' ve lost again. Triumphant sophomores .... after the fray. Hitch up them britches. Bob. ' S {9] HOMECOMING Football thrills, beauty, awards, decorations, and — best of all — the reunion with old college chums, completed the order of the day as Monmouth celebrated its annual Homecoming football game. Rulers for a day were Her Highness Marcia Tubbs and the 1950 court. Homecoming was highlighted by house decorations, a float parade, and stunt night. Pulchritude plus: Mona Yard, Jeanne Black, Marcia Tubbs, Donna Neimann, and Winkie Wilmot. { 10} Miss Marcia Tubbs, a Senior from Monmouth, Illinois, the Homecoming Queen for 1949.

Banned from the campus in 1942 by a college order that forbade all secret organizations, the Octopus was re- activated in 1946. The group remained sub-rosa until 1948, when some alumni members and the college ad- ministration came to terms to legalize the organization. The eight seniors who comprise the Octopus are selected late in the spring of their junior year by mem- bers of the preceding class. The selection is based upon campus activities, leadership, personality, and contribu- tion 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 was established last year. The award, in the amount of $150, is announced annually at the time of Commence- ment. The fund is provided by active and alumni mem- bers, who presently number 183. Professor Howard Jamieson, an Octopus member of the class of ' 40, is the faculty advisor. Members of the Octopus for the past year were: Ray Timmons, James Feehley, Robert Burnett, Walter Forsyth, Donald McKinley, Lloyd Jackson, Jack Francis, and Jerrold Linton. {15} HITS AND MISSES Music that everyone loves was presented by the inimitable Gracie and the cast of Hits and Misses against elaborate stage settings and costumes that made this show one of the finest musi- cals ever presented at Mon- mouth College. The curtain rose to the ever popular, It ' s a Grand Night for Singing, and the chorus moved into the music of the immortal Below: Marion Austin, Nancy Peters, Jeanne Black, and Claire Mcintosh photographed during their singing of Sweet Kentucky Babe.

STUDENT BODY OFFICERS This year the Monmouth College student body has been ably run by Jim Nixon, President; Sid Jack- son, Vice-President; Charlotte Pierce, Secretary; and Jack Francis, Treasurer. The remainder of the council is made up of one repre- sentative from each social organi- zation. The council ' s pledge to the student body is to maintain and support the highest standards of student life, and to enforce impar- tially and unfailingly the regula- tions prescribed to it. Due to the council ' s work Home- coming was a huge success, and the Spring Formal one of the high spots of the year. Student Body Officers: Nixon, Francis, Pierce, Jackson. {22] STUDENT-FACULTY COMMITTEE The Student-Faculty Committee is made up of the President and Dean of the College, the Dean of Women, the Dean of Men, Director of Admissions and Personnel and two mem.bers chosen from the faculty, the officers of the Stu- dent Council and one representative from each social organization on campus. The Student-Faculty Committee serves to bring the faculty and students to- gether so that each may more clearly see and understand each other ' s view- points and problems; thus promoting greater cooperation on the campus. The Student-Faculty Committee takes action on any problems brought up in Student Council which it deems affects the Col- lege on the whole. Through this coop- eration greater understanding between faculty and student problems has been reached. It has indeed proved to be a successful and worthy function. First Rov.-: Fi-;rce, M. Clark, G.

Third Row: Mr. Phillips, Mr. Nicholas, Fritz. f 2.U STUDENT COURT Although the Student Court has re- ceived httle publicity, it is an integral part of our student government. It is made up of five students chosen from the junior and senior classes, two mem- bers from the junior class and three members from the senior class. The court may try any student who violates college regulations. The court has, in the past years, been seeking more rec- ognition that they may become even more successful in their undertakings. liter Francis, Van Deusen, Robb.

STUDENT CnUNClL Practical experience in democracy is given to the students by the processes of the Student Council. Any broad change in the rules and regulations, curriculum and administration of college affairs is usually suggested by the Coun- cil and then presented to the student body for acceptance or rejection. The council legislates on all matters of the Student Body Association and formu- lates all rules and regulations affecting student affairs. The membership is made up of the officers of the Student Associa- tion, class presidents, a representative from each class, a representative of WAA, senior and junior representatives to the Athletic Board, Editor of the Oracle, YMCA and YWCA presidents, and house presidents. Reports of viola- tions of college regulations are investi- gated by the Council. The officers of the Student Association are also the officers of the Student Council. This year, it has sponsored the All-School Picnic, the Knox-Monmouth Dance, and a skating party for the student body. As in the past, it has emphasized the im- portance of honesty on our campus. 125] We shall now meet those students who have proven themselves worthy of honors higher than those of everyday life. We give you the Cream of the Crop on the Monmouth campus. We of the Ravelings proudly doff our caps to these worthy individuals. f 26] SIGMA (IMICHON MU Sigma Omicron Mu was founded in 1926 by Doctor Goodrich, then a French professor here at Monmouth. His ideal was to establish an honorary scholastic fraternity for those junior and senior students who had met certain grade re- quirements. These requirements were four semesters of honor roll, two semes- ters in succession. Its purpose is to foster intellectual achievement. Mem- bers of Phi Beta Kappa may become members and honorary members are taken in frcm time to time. Each semester Sigma Omicron Mu sponsors a Scholarship Day vv hen their new members are tapped. On this day, too, the members of the freshman hon- orary fraternities. Pi Gamma Pi end Phi Eta Mu, are tapped. This p:st fall on Scholarship Day, Mary Garden was given a degree. Following Scholarship Day is the annual banquet to which the freshman honorary fraternities are in- vited. First Row: Oyler, Smith, Forsyihe, Haun, Eeernick.

Pi GAMMA PI Pi Gamma Pi is an honorary scholastic sorority, organized for the purpose of encouraging high scholarship among the freshman women. Necessary re- quirements are that each freshman must carry twelve hours of work and must have an average of 3.5 for the semester or the entire year. PHI ETA MU Phi Eta Mu is the freshman men ' s honorary scholastic fraternity. To be eligible 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. Dr. Hugh Beveridge is the faculty sponsor and the founder. First Rov : Terford, Sympson, Deegan, Foster, Whiteman. Second Row: Fox, Lindberg, Stice, Ramback, Allaman, Smith. Third Row: Hoover, Thompson, Khng, Bollas, Kelly, Lesch, Mahler. TALI PI Tau Pi is the local organization on the campus which corre- sponds to Mortar Board. It was founded by Mary Ross Potter and its eighteenth class was in- itiated in May, 1949. Girls who achieve the finest ideals of wom- anhood are taken at the end of their junior year and make up the active membership during their senior year. Each spring, these girls entertain at a tea for the outstanding girls of the freshman class. First Row: Walker, Mcintosh, Haun. Second Row: Wysong, Pierce, Carlson. Third Row: Smith. FROSH TAU PI Janie Black, the small dark- haired girl from Omaha, Nebras- ka, was the winner of the Tau Pi Freshman Cup for the year 1948-49. This cup is awarded each spring to the freshman girl who the members of Tau Pi be- lieve has been outstanding in participation in activities, in character, and in high scholar- ship. Left: Sarah Jane Black, winner of freshman Tau Pi cup for 1949. {29} PI KAPPA DELTA Pi Kappa Delta is the National Hon- orary 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 given the use of the college station wagon for out-of- town trips. Maintaining the usual high standards of the college, this group has received some very high honors this past year. First Row: Phillips, Baehr. Second Row: Nixon, Kelly, Mr. Wilson. C30] BOHEMIANS One of the newer groups on campus, the Bohemian Club, has as its purpose the stimulation of interest among the students in arts and crafts. It is com- posed of students who are interested in art as artists, and also of students who are interested in art from the standpoint of appreciation. The members paint, and also criticize the work of famous artists at their regular meetings. The club also offers work in ceramics for those having interests along that line. President of the club this year was Gordon Miller. Above: Gordon Miller, club president, at work on one of his projects in decorating the Union.

CRIMSON MASQUE The aim of Crimson Masque is to get good drama — good literature — to the Monmouth stage. A good balance of comedy and tragedy has been main- tained in the plays this year due to the work of this group and of the director, Mr. R. E. Fulsom. The plays produced by the Masque during the year were: The Male Ani- mal, The Guardsman, and Romeo and Juliet, all of which were well re- ceived by an enthusiastic student body. Weekly and special meetings serve to supplement the stage knowledge of the members. Masque was led this year by President Marion Austin. First Row: Gradous, Bengson, Austin, Eggleston, Tubbs. Second Row: GuUberg, Hogue, D. Schlemmer, McEwen, Hodge. Third Row: Lesch, Miller, Wilmot, Jacobs. Fourth Row: Hay, Olesen, Snyder, Van Deusen. [. 2} NATIONAL COLLE(;iATE PLAYERS Though this select group is small in number, it certainly is far from being small in value. The National Collegiate Players are those members of Crimson Masque who are given credit for en- couraging participation in dramatic per- formances, in play writing, and in the study and the appreciation of all the phases of the drama. Those who obtain membership in the organization should be commended. To become a member of this dramatic group, a petition must be made to the national organization. To be eligible requires varied and exten- sive speech courses in college. Liberal acting experience which must be sup- plemented by experience in all phases of technical work in the legitimate theatre is also necessary. Take a bow. Players . . . you deserve it, for ycu are the best on the Monmouth stage. First Row: McKissick, Austin, Smith, Eggleston. Second Row; Colvin, McBride. Third Bow: Mr. Fulsom. McGuire, Eengson.

The annual Operetta-Minstrel Show sponsored by Pi Alpha Nu raised money this year to donate to the fund for the new men ' s dormitory. Last year the aim was an all-school music scholar- ship to encourage good musicians to come to Monmouth. The campus musicians, Pi Alpha Nu, are or- ganized to establish a closer fellowship among these individuals, to promote better standards of study, work and performance, and to further the cause of good music.

YESI ' ER CHOIR Good voices plus a good director equals excellent music for our monthly vespe r services in the chapel. The Mon- mouth College Vesper Choir holds as its purpose to advance the cause of good choral music for all the college, to foster a fellowship with each other, and to help our meditation and communion with God through music at the vesper serv- ices. The choosing of Monmouth ' s Tour Choir is anxiously awaited by the mem- bers of this choir. The honor of being chosen is earned by approximately half of the group who are judged by their voice, musicianship, and cooperation. This year the choir may go to Chicago and other towns in Illinois to entertain and represent Monmouth College. All the fortunate members who go have a very enjoyable and an unforgettable time with many valuable experiences. The choir often sings for special oc- casions also. Mr. Archer Hayes is the outstanding director who makes this a very worthwhile class. {35] CHORALE Daily Chapel is made more inspiring because oi the singing of the Chorale. Under the direction of Mr. Balch, the group contributes a great deal to the daily worship of the college. The Chorale travelled to Chicago last spring to give several concerts. «i te- tS CHORUS Fust Row: Barnelt, Olsun, iM.y Ju. v ' l-vi Second Row: Grabau, Leiper, Shelby, Adams, Stewart, Hoffmeister. ison, Smith, Schmitt, Forsyth, iuchanan, Mr. Balch, Snyder, First Row: Pinckney, Trushinski, MacMillan, Brown, Kuntz, Bjork, Dittrich, Johnson, Mr. Balch.

The Chorus is made up of students who like to sing and who are eager to have a chance to air their high C ' s and their low E ' s. Directed by Mr. Balch, the Chorus does its part to uphold the honor of Monmouth College in the field of music. [36] MESSIAH The Messiah, Handel ' s great ora- torio, was presented again this year in December by the Monmouth Choral Society. One hundred and eighty voices filled the Waid Gymnasium as the singers proclaimed, Hallelujah, for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth at an impres- sive part of the program. The singing group was made up of members of the Vesper Choir, Chorale, Chorus, and other students who wished to join the society. The choral group was accompanied by the college orches- tra, Mr. Balch at the organ, and Miss Riggs and Mr. Campbell at the two pianos. Four gusst scloists from Chicago en- hanced the program with their profes- sional performance of The Messiah ' s great solo work. The list of performers was so much larger than usual that the gymnasium was chosen for the performance instead of the auditorium. The Choral Society practiced v eekly for several months before the performance in order to make this Mcnm.outh Christmas tradition a mem.orable one. Cur thanks go to Mr. Hayes, who did such an excellent job of directing, and to the choral society for a superlative performance. . h entire ensemble poses for the Ravelings camera follov. ' ing the performance U7] The Band, Chorale and Chorus are pictured at the finale of the joint concert presented last winter. BAND The Monmouth College Band, under the capable direction of Mr. H. A. Loya, has spent another busy and successful year. The activities of the band begin in the fall, when it performs on the grid- iron between the halves of all home foot- ball games. Especially worthy of men- tion this year was the program presented by the Scot musicians at the homecom- ing game, which was thoroughly en- joyed by all the fans. In the winter, the band combined with the chorale and the chorus to stage an excellent concert program, which met with the overwhelming approval of the student body. In the spring, the band entertained with lawn concerts on the steps of Wallace Hall. These concerts offered pleasant moments of relaxation after busy days of classes. THE RAVELINGS salutes the band upon the completion of another fine year. The M. C. Band pauses in one of its rehearsal sessions to give the photographer a smile. [38] ORCHESTRA The orchestra chmaxed a very suc- cessful year with its concert in February. Under Mr. Campbell ' s capable direction, the Monmouth Little Symphony Orches- tra played an interesting and skillfully performed program. Carol Levine, violinist, was featured soloist in Bruch ' s Violin Concerto, the piece de resistance of the concert. Besides its concerts, the orchestra also adds important color to the other musical programs of the college. It accompanied the Messiah performance, and it added background music to the Pi Alpha Nu- sponsored operetta and minstrel show. Monmouth is proud to have such a skillful, well-equipped orchestra com- posed of students who are music-minded and willing to participate in many extra- curricular programs. May the Little Symphony have many more success- ful seasons.

COUNCIL These students, chairmen of the Y.M. and Y.W. music, publicity, and worship committees, are the ingenious minds who keep the CCA. meetings informative and interesting by providing a variety of pro- grams and speakers. ICTHLIS Members of the Icthus Club are students who plan to dedicate their lives to religious work. The club gives opportunities for practical training in this field; its members hear lecturers, discuss problems of Chris- tian living, and through extensive youth- work at their respective churches, gain valuable evangelical know-how. The group does muc h to maintain Monmouth ' s tradi- tional religious associations. ICTHUS is a Greek word meaning fish, for the fish was a symbol of Christ in the early days of Christianity. This meaning is reflected in the pin worn by members, a small silver fish. First Row: Widule, Beck, Bowman, Erickson, Bovard, Wysong, Craig, B. Black, S. Black, D. Schlemmer.

Everyone is familiar with the station wagons which gather stu- dents together at the campus every Sun- day, but many people do not know what goes on. The gospel teams travel to different churches in the Monmouth area and conduct Sunday morning services. Each team usually supplies every part of the service from devotions, messages, and scripture reading to special music. The teams, besides giving valuable spiritual ideas to others, also learn a great deal themselves about church functions and conducting worship serv- ices and grow in spiritual discernment as a result of their work. The gospel teams are sponsored by the college and are considerably aided by the two station wagons which were generously donated by Sam Fulton. These groups are appreciated greatly by churches which have been visited by the teams and by college students who realize what the teams are doing. The teams could well apply the words, Well done, good and faithful servant, to their accomplishments. [43] Independent Women ' s Officers: Craig, McKinney, nick, Wysong. INDEPENDENT WOMEN The Independent Women ' s Organiza- tion contributes frequently to Mon- mouth ' s calendar of activities. Its pur- pose is chiefly social, being to provide the non-sorority women of the school with entertainments. The schedule this year has included a formal dance each semester, sponsored jointly with the In- dependent Men, and a number of in- formal parties. The organization meets every week in the recreation room of Grier Hall, where members plan forthcoming events. Marty Wysong, president the past year, handled the duties of her of- fice capably, and kept the organization going in a lively fashion. .L-l-ll-i-k- Independent Men ' s Officers: Karlson, B.

For a number of social events both semesters, they work cooperatively with the Independ- ent Women. This year they sponsored together two formal dances. They also met together for several well-planned and amusing parties in Grier rec room. President of the organization this past year was Dick Karlson, a senior. Under his leadership the Indees have been an active and progressive group. {44] First Row: V. Hughletl, A. Laemmli, M. Arnold, M. Lang- ford, P. Pagenkopf, M. Wysong. Second Row: J. Sprinkle, J.

BOARD OF I ' UBLIOATIONS Acting as general publisher is the aim of the Board of Publications. The Board has as its members, the editor and busi- ness manager of the current Oracle, the editor and business manager of the last year ' s Ravelings, and three members of the faculty. This year Mr. Dave Mc- Michael, Mr. Dave Fleming, and Mr. Hovi ard Jamieson were chosen to serve on the Board. The members, of course, do not set up an editorial policy to be followed, but instead has for its purpose the job of unifying the college publica- tions. The Soiled Plaid, with its anonymous editor and backing, is the only college publication that doesn ' t bloom under the watchful eye of the Board. It ' s the Lonesome Polecat of M. C. campus, and its editorials are its own business, although it does quite well in letting the school know how it feels on certain pertinent matters. This year Shan Reed, Lois Tornquist, Don Johnson and Dan Engstrom have worked together to make the Publica- tions Board a real asset to M. C. literary life. Who knows, maybe someday they ' ll even win over the Soiled Plaid! [47] ORACLE Editor Lois Tornquist working on another snappy editorial. Aiming toward a more spirited and progressive newssheet, Editor- in-Chief Lois Tornquist and her staff worked hard every week to see that student mailboxes were punctually supplied with their ORACLES. Despite such handicaps as tardy reporters, coal shortages (and the third floor of Wallace Hall can be mighty cold), and antiquated type- writers, the staff managed to keep its readers posted on past and forthcoming events. Student criti- cisms of the paper were dutifully listened to and considered, with the result that during the year the ORACLE picked up in tempo and quality.

Perhaps outstanding programs and trips are the reason. Everyone is interested in meeting old Monmouth grads in the trip through the penitentiary — the wardens, of course. President of the Soc Club this year was Marion Gantner, who worked hard to make it a success. The group was very fortunate to obtain Mrs. Sanmann as advisor. INTERNATIONAL DELATIONS CLUB Under the excellent advisorship of the popular Goofy — whoops — Professor Gamer, the International Relations Club is becoming one of the more outstanding or- ganizations on the campus. The member- ship is made up of those interested in world affairs and their implications. Ray Fosterling led this year ' s crew.

Besides their lectures and other programs, an annual banquet and a Science Hall open house spark their activities. The A.C.S. is organized for all chemistry students with a professional interest in the field. Head Chemist Warren Lesch has once again brought the group into the campus spotlight this year.

The purpose of this organization is to bring together persons interested in target shooting, hunting, or just plain ballistics. Matches are held with other schools as well as infra-mural contests. The group is affiliated with the National Rifle Associa- tion. The Rifle Club has brought several dis- tinctions to Monmouth campus in the form of markmanship awards. -.a:- Mti ...J ■ ' L ■ -., W ' M First Row: McGaughey, Carlson, Fritz.

Phi Alpha Theta is a national honorary history fraternity, in fact one of the highest ranking national hon- orary societies. Membership is not open to the common herds, but only to upper- classmen who are history majors or minors with a straight 3.0 in all their college work. The presidential gavel was handled very efficiently this year by Don McGaughey. This is a group of twenty-five girls chosen from the student body and organ- ized into the Pep Club for the purpose of stimulating interest in athletic events on campus. Their official dress worn on the day of athletic battle is the red sweater with the Monmouth seal and a grey skirt. These gals are seen at every football and basketball game loyally cheering the Fighting Scots to victory. Lower — First Row: Weakly, Haag. Calhoun, Wilner, Black Calsen.

Designed to encourage healthful recreation in both team and individual sports, WAA has sponsored several successful seasons in hockey, badminton, basketball, tennis, bowling and swimming. These are but a few of their prolific activities. Intramural competition among the sororities and independent groups is one of its major contributions to campus life and school spirit. Membership is open to any woman if she has participated in two or more sports in any given semester. At pres- ent there are approximately fifty-two members in the group.

POLYWOG CLUB The Polywogs, newly organized on the campus, is a group of girls who like to swim for the fun of it. It also serves as a prerequisite for the Dolphin Club. Mem- bership in the Polywogs is open to any woman interested in swimming, and the club operates under the auspices of the W.A.A. The Polywogs hold regular meet- ings in the pool, at which time the mem- bers practice swimming skills, and water ballet routines. The club offers women who lack sufficient experience in swimming a chance to get this experience and thereby obtain membership in the Dolphin Club. DOLPHIN CLUB The Dolphin Club is under the auspices of the W.A.A., and is responsible for the annual water pageant, held each spring in the Waid Pool for the enjoyment of the student body. To obtain membership, a girl must have a Senior Lifesaving rating, or take part in the water show, and must pass certain tryout requirements. The club ' s 1950 show, Rhythm in Rhymes, centered around a nursery rhyme theme, and was presented on March 29. Miss Dorothy Magill is the fac- ulty advisor, and the club was led this year by President Dorothy Walker. [57} Upper: Felmley, Grabau, Black, Stewart. Lower: Pinckney, Marshall. Brown. Yard, Johnson. CHEERLEADERS Amid the yelling and cheering at every basketball and football game, one sees our seven lively cheerleaders lurching out in front of the crowds waving megaphones and leading the students in songs and cheers such as Go, Monmouth, go your red and white or hit them, smash them, etc. Try-outs are held every fall for fresh- men and other students wishing to join this illustrious group. The selection is made by the qualified members of the cheerleading group. The cheerleaders have done a very outstanding job this year in stimulating active interest and good sportsmanship in all athletic events.

HGGT MEN To create a closer feeling of school spirit among the student body, the hoot- men were organized in 1948 by the im- mortal Bill Christian and since that time has grown both numerically and in- fluentially on campus. All members are volunteers, acquired by a quota system from all fraternities, classes, the M Club, and Independents. Judging from the usual uproar, there is little doubt as to the future success of the club. [59} PORTS Monmouth teams have long been known for their sportsman- ship, their clean play and their hard hitting aggressiveness. The teams of ' 49 and ' 50 have lived up to this fine heritage. 160} FOOTBALL BASKETBALL TBACK- CROSS COUNTRY TENNIS- GOLF SWIMMINC- BASEBALL £61} M. C.

Prospects for next year are quite promising with the expected return of 17 lettermen from this year ' s varsity, and several talented frosh coming up. Five members of the 1949 squad were given special recognition on the all- conference selections. Sid Jackson, left end, and Jim Feehley, right half, were named to the Midwest Conference sec- ond team. Bob Rosenbaum, Bob Fuhr, and Ted Johnson were given honorable mention on the mythical squad. A short resume of the games is as follows: Burlington Junior College — The Fighting Scot B squad opened the 1949 grid sea- son by defeating the Burlington Junior College eleven, 13-6. Paced by the spectacular broken field running of Donny Brooks, the reserves came from behind in the final stanza to topple a stubborn Burlington outfit. Ripon — In the opening varsity game of the season, the Scots held highly re- garded Ripon, defending conference champions, to a scoreless tie. A hard- fought defensive battle, the game de- veloped into a punting duel with both teams doing outstanding kicking. Hope — Monmouth suffered its first de- feat of the season at the hands of the Hope Dutchmen by a score of 7-0. As the game ended, the Scots were one yard from a touchdown and the possi- bility of a tie. Coe — In their first home appearance, the Scots displayed their potential power by humbling Coe 21-7, for their second victory of the season. Jackson, Gilde- meister, and Linton provided the spark for the Scot offense. Lawrence — In a game that gave the huge Homecoming first thrills, then chills, Monmouth was nosed out by the Lawrence grid machine, 21-13.

The meat-ball squad eats a lot of dirt to play only two games, and much of the same is dished up by the varsity. They are a scrappy bunch of men, and very deserving of those freshman numerals. The young Scots showed a lot of promise in their two encounters this season; some of the varsity men may well look to their laurels when these boys come back next fall. Result No Progress [66} i . ' VV iiPLi;. : jsa - Mia ir .-- - { 1 The Scots outgained the Vikings, both on the ground and in the air, by the decisive margin of 314 yards to 216. In the first down department, Monmouth had 16 to the visitors ' 7. Sid Jackson climaxed the Scots ' first scoring drive as he took Gildemeister ' s pass on the two and stepped across to score. Later, on a razzle-dazzle play which stunned the Viking defense, Don Gray, left guard, went fifteen yards to score. Cornell — In its fourth appearance of the sea- son, Monmouth rolled to a 40-0 victory over an outclassed Cornell squad. The Scot line was superb, and held the Rams to only three first downs throughout the afternoon. Jim Feehley was the key man of the day, scoring three Scot touchdowns. Augustana — Monmouth took to the air to baffle an aggressive Augustana eleven, 14-0, before a capacity Parents ' Day crowd. The first Scot score came on a Gildemeister-to- Walton pass, and Walton also scored the other Monmouth TD on a toss from Gilde- meister. Beloit — Monmouth was forced to come from behind twice to eke out a narrow 14-12 vic- tory over Beloit ' s Buccaneers. The Hues com- bined an alert defense and a powerful offense to give the Scots a busy afternoon. The Scot forward wall turned back several enemy scoring threats in the same creditable manner they displayed all year. Knox — Despite the pre-game rain and the in- termittent showers during the contest, the Knox passing attack stunned the Fighting Scots with a 21-14 upset in the 1949 grid finale. Standouts for Monmouth in the battle with its arch-rival were Kenny Gould, hard- running soph back, Gildemeister, who scooped up an enemy fumble and raced 51 yards to score the first Scot marker. Gould scored the second after he sparked a sus- tained drive in the third stanza. Sitting: M. Messmore, B. Smick, B. Walton, D. Brooks, K. Follett, D. Bruch, L. Bogott.

Prospects for next year are promising with the expected return of 10 lettermen, including four of the first five, and several talented frosh. Special recognition was given to Donny Brooks, who received a forward berth on the all-conference second team. A short resume of the games is as fol- lows: Eureka — After a 68-45 warmup with the alumni, the Scot varsity opened the reg- ular season with Eureka, on the home floor. Monmouth lost the decision, 66- 59, after leading most of the way. The chief factor in the contest was the victors ' height. Cornell — Playing their first game of the season away from home, the Scotsmen fought a nip-and-tuck battle with Cornell, but came out on top, 65-61. The win placed Monmouth in a 1-0 position in the conference. Grinnell — Tall, rangy Grinnell was favored to win, but Monmouth tightened up an already tight defense in the second half, to ice the game. The Scots coasted to a victory, 45-37. It was the second con- ference success in as many starts. Quincy — A determined Ouincy team came back to Monmouth to avenge a previous season ' s defeat, and walked away with the honors, 57-54. Nothing was decided until the last few seconds of the game. Carthage — The Carthage Redmen played host to the Scots in a non-conference tilt. Monmouth ran up a 25-10 lead dur- ing the first ten minutes, and emerged on the long end of a 72-61 score. Ripon — Monmouth was handed the first conference loss of the season by Ripon. The affair was evenly played for fifteen minutes, when the Ripon team exploded. It was a combination of height and fast- breaking speed, and Ripon came out of the fray boasting a 42% shooting aver- age, and a 74-57 win. Augustana — In a rough-and-tumble en- counter at Rock Island, Augustana held the advantage most of the way, but the Scots fought to a 46-46 tie toward the end of the game. At the final gun it was Augie 57, Scots 53. Sitting; D. McBride, H. Risvold, C. Main, R. Brooks, J. Niels en, D. Flynn, G. Gawtlirop. Standing: Coach Jacquet, A. Girard, J. Vest, ]. Reed, S.

It was a case of a hot Beloit and a cold Monmouth, and the winning outfit was too great an obstacle for the smaller Scots. KNOX — In a traditionally fast, exciting contest, the Siwashers couldn ' t quite keep up with a Scot five that was all over the court in a frantic last half. Largely responsible for the 60-55 Scotch victory was the fact that Monmouth connected on 47% of their last period shots from the field. COE-— Racking up 80 points, Monmouth far outclassed Coe who scored only 59. All the Monmouth men were hitting, and it was a banner night for Brooks, Pratt and FoUett. CARTHAGE — After exam week, Carthage invaded the local court. The score was again in favor of the Scots, 76-53. The Redmen fell easy prey to Monmouth ' s fast break, and all crew members saw action against them. GRINNELL — Although Monmouth was on the long end of a 30- 28 halftime score, the ending gun found Grinnell the victor by 58 mark. Donny Brooks □ ' : ' ■ ' wrV ' i :■ r 18 points. LAWRENCE — The Scot- ' V iking contest was the closest game season on the home court. Monmouth went into the last 2 minutes ahead and eked out a 57-55 win. CARLETON — Monmouth lost its fourth conference game in nine starts against a strong Carleton five. It was a night when Mon- mouth was cold and Carleton was hot. Final score — Carleton 60; Monmouth 45. KNOX — The Siwashers employed a double pivot against the Scots, which completely thwarted our defense. By dropping this one, Monmouth ended Conference play with 5 wi ns and 5 losses. LAKE FOREST and AUGUSTANA— The last two games were non-conference tilts, Monmouth losing the first, winning the second. Lake Forest, led by Norm Berglund, downed the Scots, 70-61. Against the Vikings, Torrence led the Scots to a 65-47 v in. Row 1: Coach Robinson, B. Carlsten, R. Timmons, J. Kruidenier, J. Feehley, J.

Coach — Jelly ' Robinson Captain — Jud Kruidenier TRACK ' 49 During the ' 49 season Monmouth was running with the best of them on the cinder path. The tape was continually broken by the Red and White, and Monmouth ' s muscles heaved the weights respectable distances. The consistent performance of the varsity cleatmen made Coach Robinson ' s crew a much feared opponent when- ever they doffed their warm-up togs. Besides being potent in dual and quadrangu- lar meets, the legmen boasted a second place at the Coe Relays, a fourth at the Beloit Relays, and made an impressive showing at the Chicago Daily News Relays. Here they ran second to Wheaton and outdistanced Chicago University in a matched mile relay. At Drake, the Red and White took a fourth in the sprint medley; they also placed in the mile and the two mile relays at Purdue. Versatility plus! In conference running, the thinclads captured the show position behind a strong and well- balanced Beloit team, and Lawrence, a perennial favorite. Riggs and Pratt both won in their re- spective races. Riggs strided to a first in the 440 and Pratt hurdled to a win spot in the 220 low hurdles. New records were set in the 440, 880, mile and mile relay. Riggs contributed to the first, Carlstan to the second and third, and Riggs, Carlsten, Pratt, and Kruidenier to the last. The remarkable thing is that all these trackmen will be back in ' 50. They will be augmented by a strong freshman crew which distinguished itself by copping the Mid-West telegraphic title last spring. The ' 50 season may well be M. C. ' s year.

It may not be the Sport of Kings, but it brings out Mon- mouth fans in the springtime. The ' 49 squad, under the mentorship of Coach Jacquet, was a much improved ball team over the previous year ' s club which won 3 and lost 7 for a .300 percentage. The Forty-niners collected six wins in fifteen starts for a .400 percentage after facing stiffer competition than had the ' 48 team. Hurlers Walton, Jackson and Hofbauer turned in creditable pitching, and the big bats of Bogott and Scholten both boomed over the .400 mark. Diamond hopes are high for the coming season as eleven lettermen will return to take their stand in the batter ' s box. Then there is always the hope that the farm team, in this case the freshmen, will send up some talent to help the regulars along to a successful season.

Lantzy, Menager Coacli — Mings THE FROSH NINE Above are pictured the men who made up the frosh squad of the ' 49 season. A typical characteristic of freshman sports is the hmited number of games played. The schedule was finished after two encounters with Burlington Junior College. This nat- urally limits the incentive to participate, but most of the men marked time and looked forward to the coming seasons with the varsity. The first yearers were also plagued by the varsity who took up most of the playing time on the local diamond. Although the squad dropped both of their games with Burlington, spectators were able to detect a lo t of potential ability in the men. At times the boys showed some real baseball know how, and after this conditioning period they should be ready to go come spring. SEASON ' S RECORD Monmouth Opponent Monmouth 3 Burlington J.

Versatile Bobby Carlsten set a new record for the two mile — 10:23; this time was clocked at Coe.

These are the fellows who go all out for Monmouth in the sports arena. Many of us are prone to overlook the exploits of these players, but here ' s a hearty pat on the back to the men who wear the M ' s. May we always have men like this to make up Monmouth teams. They are truly the Fii h ing Scots. {79] e Here are the Greeks, those fraternal organizations which contribute so much enjoyment and color to the whirl of activities here at Monmouth. [80} tsi ] ALPHA XI DELTA The Beta Epsilon chapter of Alpha Xi Delta made its appearance on the Mon- mouth campus in 1932. Ever since that time, the wearers of the Golden Quill have been able to keep busy and active in all phases of activity on the Mon- mouth campus. Beta Epsilon ' s social calendar was complete, as it was filled v ith the formals. Pickle Mixes, initiation banquets and teas. r ' iis: ;-l:-.v: ] MiS ' li . -sler, McLaughlin, Grabau, Anderson.

A prize winning homecoming float, coupled with cheerful reunions with old friends, made the homecoming week- end complete for the Alpha Xis. The Frosty Fantasy winter formal was en- joyed by all the girls and their dates, and the Christmas party, which was complete with Mrs. Santa Claus in full regalia, served to climax the fall and winter social season, and in the spring, the dreamy spring formal dance for Alpha Xis and their escorts proved a fitting climax to another year of activity, and these memories will live in the diary of every Alpha Xi girl on campus. At the National Convention which was held at French Lick during the past sum- mer, these girls, as many as were able to do so, joined with their fraternity sisters in giving their whole-hearted sup- port to the national philanthropy move- ment at Brown County, Indiana. Yes, this year has been a memorable one in- deed for all the m.embers of Alpha Xi Delta. ts.U - ' - - — KAPPA DELTA The members of Kappa Delta — the white rose girls — have been well rep- resented in all campus activities during the past year. The first activity of the year for Kappa Delta was participation in Fieshman Week, sponsored by the Y.W.C.A., fol- lowed by the excitement of rushing. On Pledge Day, twenty-six eager girls looked ahead to their first year with Kappa Delta. First Row: Schmuckor. Garsl, Hayes, Stevenson, Tornquist, Campbell, Black, Rhea.

Homecoming with all its color elected Donna Neimann as jun- ior queen. Five other KD beauties were a Toast to the Team on a colorful, balloon-decorated float. Alumnae were welcomed by the chapter at a banquet at the Elks Club in honor of Founders ' Day, October 23. At this time, the new pledge class was introduced, and awards were presented to the outstand- ing active members of the chapter. The KD social highlight of November was the Emerald Ball. Kappa Delta royalty danced to the glitter and gleam of green and gold, and a fine evening was enjoyed by all the KD ' s and their dates. The Christmas season began with the traditional holiday tea given by the Monmouth alumnae chapter. The rest of the social calendar was filled with teas, Olive Binges, and the big initiation banquet held at the Galesburg Club. {85} KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA Wearers of the golden key had a busy- year, within the chapter and in campus activities. KKG ' s were active in Homecoming af- fairs. Jill Van Deusen served as co- chairman of the event, and Winkie Wil- mot and Mona Yard were chosen beauty queens. The chapter placed second in the Stunt Night competition. Both the Fall and Spring formals of Alpha chapter were occasions of much fun for Kappas and their escorts.

Their pledging climaxed rushing with its informal and formal parties. To cele- brate the occasion, a banquet was held in the Custer Hotel in Galesburg. Be- sides honoring the new pledges, the banquet also honored the eightieth an- niversary of the founding of Alpha chap- ter of Kappa Kappa Gamma on the campus of Monmouth College. Two parties were given for pledges of all other sororities on campus. One ■was in the traditional form of an early morn- ing breakfast. The pledges also enter- tained the actives at Pretzel Benders — with delicious food and enjoyable enter- tainment. Dates were also entertained at various Coffee Clutches, the annual Tea Dance, and other parties throughout the year. The chapter honored the fac- ulty with a tea, and in May one was given for Mother ' s Day. Kappas swam to victory in the inter- sorority swimming meet and came through as champs on the hockey field. Their winning of the scholarship award in the fall marked the second consecu- tive time. Activity seemed the keynote of the 1949-50 year for the Kappas. [87} PI BETA PHI Illinois Alpha Chapter of Pi Beta Phi had another very successful year. Many activities were enjoyed such as the Cookie Shines at Holt House and the formal. The formal was the highlight of the winter events. The evening began with cocktails served at Holt House. This was followed by a banquet at the Elks Club. The evening was climaxed by the Twelfth Night Dance. First Row: Rossell, Latimer, Black, Trainor, Wayne, McDougall, Phifer, Second Row; Hilsenhoff, V. Ray, McDowell, Mcintosh, Haun, Buchanan, Muirhead, Tubus, Gardner, Thompson, Mil ' ward, Schmetter. Third Row: Clark, Gantner, J. Ray, Shaner, Davis, McKee, Beatty, L.

Second Row: Emmons, Sillars, Guilbert, Jennings, Sekera, Fuller. Third Row: Ripley, Luper, Riftey, Myers, Bjork, Hill, Keating, Johnson, Hogan. The spring social events were started with the Pi Phi open house which was held at Holt House. As in the past, the Pi Phis entertained their escorts at their annual Twelfth Night Dinner Dance. The Spring Formal was a perfect climax for the year ' s social season. This year two girls were elected to attend the convention in Canada. They were Elizabeth Schmetter and Betty Carol Hilsenhoff, while Marilyn Phifer and Carol Levine served as alternates. The Pi Phis had two girls elected to the Homecoming Court this year. Marcia Tubbs was chosen queen by the student body, and Jeanne Black was named as Senior attendant. This year Pi Beta Phi pledged twenty girls. The pledges enjoyed many activ- ities during their semester of probation. In December they gave a party at Holt House for all the other pledges of the other sororities on campus. Cookie Shines, pledge tests, and earning library hours were also enjoyed by the pledges. The Pi Phis have completed another year of well-rounded activity on the Monmouth campus. [89} ALPHA TALI OMEGA The Alpha Taus glance back at the past with a proud realization that since Alpha Tau Omega was installed and Phi Kappa Pi retired in May, 1947, the azure blue and gold colors have been flying with the chapter actively participating in all campus activities. With a well rounded schedule of events, the chapter has held its own in intramural competition with past cham- pionships encouraging the present con- flict. First Row: Cameron, Robb, Johnson, Knox, Dial, Stewart, Dewey. Tubbs, Frymire, Brechbill. Second Row; Gray, Carlson, Koenig, Bailey, Slice, Francis, Sauer, White, Hiett, Ramback, Sheldrup, Matson. Third Row: Kost, Wilkins, Ginter, EUerby, HoUiday, Chew, Alden, Vance, McCoy, Dr. Beveridge, Behm, L. Murphy, Bashaw, Pratt, Missavage, Strand, Witter, Marshall, Dannewitz, WeymuUer.

Hofsoos, Phelps, Adams, Lynch, McCoy, Trask, Stevenson, Risvold, Weber, Fowler, Sell, Hoenig, Kniss. Varsity sports has its share of first string men from the house on the hill, including football, basketball, track and baseball. In social circles the numerous open houses afforded a gala time for all and the mid-season culmination of events was the annual Christmas Tea, entertain- ing faculty, guests and members. Al- though Terre Haute days are gone, In- dianapolis makes an ample substitute for the perennial Province 17 convention of Alpha Tau Omega where business as well as pleasure makes for an enjoyable time. The Little Theatre has used the talents of Taus in many productions both in the past and present. Student government offices have their share of capable ATO ' s with seats occupied in student court, student council, student govern- ing board, and student-faculty board. The scholastic achievements and mem- berships to the various honorary soci- eties on campus are many. So goes another progressive year in the Alpha Tau ' s history. A glance in the past brings pride as does a glance in the future, with the hang together Taus. {91} THETA CHI The school year 1949-1950 again found our members taking part in all the vari- ous activities of M. C. One of the prin- ciples of Theta Chi is to encourage a diversified extra-curricular program among its members, and that this has been fulfilled can readily be seen by their participation in such activities as athletics, Crimson Masque, forensics, music, etc. First Row; Weber, Chestnut!, J. Geiger, Ivey, Shebeck, Benson, Symons, Niklaus, Colton. Second Row: Turnbull, Walton. Follett, Timmons, Carpenter, Mrs. Coulter, Murray, McCosh, Barker, Chatfield, Stadtler.

Third Row: Levine, Toal, Hewes, Murray, Larson, Vest, Neuses, Kelley, Homblette, Smith, Adcock, Peterson, Simon, Frymire. Socially, Theta Chi has had a well- rounded program of formal dances, teas, and open houses, foremost of which was the Barbary Coast open house, now an annual affair. The traditional faculty tea and children ' s party just be- fore Christmas vacation was a fitting prelude to the Yuletide season, after which were scheduled the usual events leading up to the Spring Formal, the climax of the social season. In intramural sports, Theta Chi had another successful year, especially in basketball. After a rigorous season against some very good competition, the OX Club quintet emerged undefeated to capture the championship trophy, while in touch football, they finished in the runner-up position. A budgeted membership of 38 active members and 25 pledges has helped, in no small way, to boost Theta Chi into the position it now holds on campus, and it is hoped, that in the future, the brotherhood of men in the big red- brick house with the pillars will con- tinue to improve and be worthy of its status on the campus of Monmouth Col- lege. {93} SIGMA PHI EPSILON Sigma Phi Epsilon, founded at the University of Richmond, Virginia, in 1901, came to the Monmouth College campus on May 22, 1948. On that day 34 undergraduates were initiated as Illi- nois Gamma Chapter was installed. During its first year on campus, Sig Ep joined the other organizations in leading campus activities. During this, the second year, Illinois Gamma con- First Row: Wheat, Sieving, T. Feehley, McKinley, Lehman, Mr. Cutler. Second Row: Felmley, Spirakes, Morgan, Lantzy, Davidson, Fleming.

December 10 was the date of the annual winter formal, the theme of which this year was Holiday Inn. On May 20 the annual Queen of Hearts Ball was held at the Mon- mouth Country Club, and once again the queen of Sig Ep hearts was chosen. Two of the outstanding open houses were held in March and April. The first one featured a miniature casino, where- as the second one was a rough-and- reedy-type open house, featuring a mild obstacle course and several new games. Both open houses were well attended and enjoyed by all who were there. Intramural athletics saw Sig Ep get off to a slow start, only to go out in the lead for the all-around trophy by capturing first places in the track meet and in bad- minton. Membership showed an increase this year with the initiation of 1 1 men in Sep- tember, and eighteen more men in Feb- ruary. Thirty-three men were pledged during the first semester, and twelve more at the beginning of the second semester. The present mem.bership in- cludes fifty-seven actives and twenty- one pledges. [95} TALI KAPPA EPSILON Tau Kappa Epsilon, Monmouth ' s oldest national fraternity, once again took a leading part in the activities on the col- lege campus. Ranking high in scholarship, both locally and nationally, the Tekes have won the Kiwanis Scholarship Plaque nine out of the thirteen times it has been awarded. They also ranked third highest in scholastic achievement among all Teke chapters in the nation. First Row: Anderson, Lemon, Bruch, Ady, Reid, Fritz, Mrs. Massingill, Wilcox, Forsyth, B.

Homecoming is always a gala oc- casion at the Take House. The TKE Green Dragon homecoming float cap- tured the admiration of the crowd as it captured the first place trophy. The returning alums were entertained at a Buffet Luncheon before the game and met again after the game at the Fifth Quarter open house. The social calendar of Alpha-Epsilon has been busy and complete for the 1949-50 school year. Many festive open houses, the annual Pig Roast, the fall formal, teas, the Christmas party for the under-privileged children, the Parents ' Day Banquet, and the Spring Orchid Formal highlighted the social season. As has been the case in recent years, Tekes have played an active part on all of the athletic teams for the Fighting Scots. Their athletic ability was also neatly displayed during the run cf the intramural season, as they squeezed in- to first place in the touch football race, and played a key part in the overall intramural picture. Music minded fraters banded together, and in a close decision, managed to win first place in the 1949 Interfraternity Sing. Strong and successful today, stronger and more successful tomorrow. [97} Under the Wallace Hall tower of learning, Monmouth College students meet each day with the faculty members to increase their knowledge. The faculty members hold the reins — they impart to others the knowledge they have gained through experience. But imparting knowledge and philosophy in the classroom is only a part of the faculty ' s association with the student. The two also meet in the social world at teas, dances, and at faculty homes. Those who coordinate and guide the student ' s college days also have a great part in the formation of his future. [98] t .

SENIOR CLASS So long, Seniors! The four short years at M. C. are drawing to a close for the members of the class of 1950, and as these seniors leave they will carry with them memories of many happy college days here at Monmouth. Dances, football games, homecomings, polescraps, once so near and vital, will now become but treasured memories of happy college days. As you leave our midst. Seniors, the students of Monmouth salute you, and wish the best of luck to the class of ' 50. [1121 RUTH ACHESON Chicago, Illinois Chemistry ROBERT M.

Great things were done by the class of 1951! Juniors published this issue of the RAVELINGS and became outstanding in scholarship, activities and athletics. They closely watched the seniors for tips on Monmouth traditions and customs. Next year as mighty seniors they will carry on in the good old M.

The class of 1952 has completed the first half of its college career. It can look forward to assuming greater responsibility and back- ward to freshman hats and pole scraps. Sophomores helped plan all-school dances and were ac- tive on the newspaper and year- book staffs. They have shown leadership, ingenuity, and en- thusiasm and will be able to hold their position as lipperclassmen in the fall. [130] First Row: M. Ericson, L. Brown, E. Beatty, M. Calsen, N.
