Text from Pages 1 - 160 of the 1952 volume:

MONMOUTH COLLEGE LIBRARY ♦ 1U- L « 4 THE 1952 RAVELINGS Hail to ye Scots ' On these opening pages we give you the seem familiar to all our clan. You ' ll recognize the friends you ve known m college the professors, and the favorite haunts of the Monmouth stu- dent Some of these pleasant memories have been presented as diamonds for they will shine and glitter brightly in our minds The diamond, hardest substance known to man and one of his most highly prized gems, is a fitting symbol of the four years at Monmouth, t is a hardening toughening polishing process with interests and activities varied enough to please one and all-music ma,or, scientific genius or home ec house- wife-to-be. All this we are trying to present to you and we hope you enjoy it. Above is an airview of Monmouth College campus in the golden setting of the Maple City, Monmouth, Illi- nois. In the inset Colin Hamilton pipes a Scotch tune in his highland costume. MONMOUTH COLLEGE, MONMOUTH, ILLINOIS FEATURES Page 4 1. 19 FACULTY Page 20 to 31 ACTIVITIES Page 32 te 67 CLASSES Page 68 to 91 ORGANIZATIONS page « in SPORTS Page 112 to 127 ADVERTISEMENTS page .30 152 FEATURES Cracie Peterson and cheerleader Bill Brown lead enthusiasm at the bonfire on the walk-out during Freshman week. The Scotch plaid Frosh enjoy dancing among the upperclassmen to end the Walk-out. As a part of Y week the Walk-out is a highlight to M.C. freshmen and introduces them to the friendly spirit which dominates the campus. Square that cap is the familiar command to which the freshmen bow. REGISTRATION On these two pages the pictures show ycu the rigors of registration. One can never be the same again after going through this. Those interminable lines, multitudinous cards each to be deposited in a different spot, counselors saying you must take everything that you don ' t like for a well-rounded education and money passing through your hands like water are all a part of entering Monmouth College. No, you ' ll never be the same again and all this just to go to classes. But when it ' s ever and you ' ve left some of you may wish you were back in the old registration line again. The long hours of waiting for a class card or a professor ' s signature pay off — either in Why didn ' t I go to Knox? or a Mon- mouth degree someday. Jo Linneman takes a tired stand at the business office where she ' ll probably say send the bill to papa. Everyone looks like something terrible has happened at Wirtz ' . Evidently they ' ve switched textbooks in every course again. Either you ' re proud of that new cap or you ' re dead tired — either reaction tells us at once that — you ' re a freshman. POLESCRAP The Polescrap . . . this battle of the mud and axle grease is led by the sophomores, in league with the Devil. When that whistle blows at 8:00 one October morning it is sure to be a dull and dreary day. This scene of horror seldom claims a casualty of more importance than a bloody nose, trouser-less frosh (often the case) and broken-hearted freshman girls who don their caps for another month. The victorious sophomores (as is always the case) see their colors untouched when- the M- club throws the last bucket of cold water. The queen ' s attendants representing their classes are Donna Niemann, Senior; Bonnie Bossow, Junior; Mary Ellen Ripley, Sophomore; and Billie Munson, Freshman. HOMECOMING Homecoming is the time for cele- bration and greeting the old grads. No one studies and no one worries and that ' s what makes it the biggest weekend of the year. Building a prize-winning float, growing the long- est beard, creating a comical stunt and electing a beautiful queen bring out problems, work and hidden talent. This is a record of what you ' ve achieved for another home- coming. PARADE First prize float was The End of the Trail, a golden warrior created by Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. Kappa Delta won second prize with their Scot queen ruling over the Ripon Redmen. This corps of beauties led the parade smiling a welcome to all returning alumni. Alpha Xi Delta knit this yellow and blue argyle sock as a hint tc the Monmouth team. This page is the conclusion of the home- coming activities. The parade, stunt night, football game, dance and best of all the co- operation of nature with a weekend of sun- shine made it one of the events not to be soon forgotten by the students and alumni. At the left Bill Whipple, Bob Heard, Quentin Kling, Joe Meredith and Charles Holmen were the chief competitors for the name of the most original M.C. man. Below Pi Beta Phi of Monmouth take thee Ripon on their colorful wedding float and the black hearse carried the remains of Ripon ' so we thought) and was third prize winner for Alpha Tau Omega. ♦ CRIMSON MASQUE PRODUCTIONS Pictured here are only two of the productions of the Crimson Masque organization. At the top is a scene from the mystery Ladies in Retire- ment and below is the satirical The Imaginary Invalid. Each of the per- formances will be remembered for its polish and finesse. SCOTS ' N SKITS 14 ♦ The Teke-men of Grade ' s cast carry on the show with There ' s Nothing Like a Dame. ♦ The Hawaiian number with Sydney Shepardson starring in Lovely Hula Hands was a highlight of last year ' s show. ♦ Here is the stage crew who worked so hard behind the scenes to build the setting and manage props so im- portant to any production. Gracie ' s show — Once again Cracie Peterson and the Monmouth students com- bined their talents to create the production of the year Scots ' n Skirts. Playing to a full house for each show, Cracie came forth with fabulous scenery, beautiful girls, contagious songs and her favorite-blacklight which is almost a Cracie trade- mark. 15 ♦ MAY FETE In spring M.C. turns on her full charm in two great carnivals — Cracie ' s show and the May Fete. This is the May Fete for the spring of 1950, when the students chose Jeanne Black and Ray Timmons to reign for a day as queer and chancellor. You also chose Janie Dykhuisen, Marcia Tubbs, Joan May and Rosemary Felts to attend the queen. with Jim Carpenter, Jack Francis and Jim Feehley to attend the chancellor. Lou Brown, Bill Brown, Maggie Ericson, Nick Weber, Mrs. Mings and Jorge Villalba in the final steps of modern dance before the May Fete audience The Festival of the May is a colorful tradition on our college campus which not only provides occasion for an ex- hibition of modern dance provided by the Orchesis Club, it is also the time of year for a popularity poll. To climax the afternoon of dancing th e winding of the multi-colored May Pole serves as the traditional finale. Queen Jeanne Black and Chancellor Ray Timmons arrive at the scene of the coronation. Attendants Jack Francis, Jane Dykhuisen and Jim Carpenter await the royalty. First Row: Walton, Robb, Fassett, Cra Second Row: Pratt, Hoover, Behnke, Cildemeister. ♦ OCTOPUS At the beginning of the year a new landmark was found on M.C. campus which was to remind us of the secret honorary society, the Order of the Octopus. This landmark, as mystic as its members and their work, was merely a tomb- stone with a foreboding black octopus. It ap- peared one morning near the diagonal walk in front of Wallace Hall under the pretense of a newly dug grave. Its immediate impression was the death of the order but since then evidences have reaffirmed the fact that Octopus is very much alive. The organization was founded in the spring of 1928 by a group of seniors who saw the need of an organization to bind together the various groups on the campus and to thus carry on, as a unit, the traditions and ambitions of Monmouth College. Banned from campus in 1942 and re- activated in 1946, the order has led a stormy and secluded life. Today on this page is revealed to you the members of the order who have remained secret during the year. They were chosen by eight members who preceded them and in turn will choose the men from next year ' s senior class to carry on their work. They are: Bill Walton, Walker Robb, Lorin Fassett, Don Cray, Channing Pratt, Lyle Hoover, Eugene Behnke, and Henry Gildemeister. ♦ FACULTY We dedicate this Ravel ings to the memory of a man whose life is his greatest monument. He knew and loved all that was beautiful, and found beauty in everything. He was a teacher, a philosopher, a poet, a humorist, a world- traveler, and above all else, a friend. Monmouth College will never forget Dr. C. A. Owen. 20 Above is the college faculty prepar- ing for the processional on scholar- ship day.

As you look through this book in the years to come we hope that you will recall all the incidents of this year and maybe get a few laughs because that is why we published this. 32 Dancing in the Union is one of the major activities on campus; but Lyle Hoover rep- resents the more serious aspects of college life. ♦ At left are the student body officers: Lee Marshall, Rita Pool, Lyle Hoover, and Tom Turnbull. STUDENT BODY OFFICERS The bright faces pictured above belong to this year ' s presiding officers of the student body. Their guiding influence has led the student council through a successful and noteworthy year. ♦ ASSOCIATION OF WOMEN STUDENTS The recently established organization of women ' s government at M.C. has just completed another eventful year. Better relations, effi- ciency and revision of hours made up a part of their many activities. First Row: Brickley, Baehr, Gardner, Ray, Haag. Second Row: VanDeusen, Anderson, Kennerly, Pool, Schmucker. First Row: Berry, Stewart, Pool, Hoover, Marshall, Johnson. Second Row: Brooks, Keller, Peterson, Anderson, Trapp, Erickson, Behm, Fassett, Rambach, Hill. iitz, Fredenhagen, Gardner ♦ STUDENT COUNCIL The student council, a representative group of the various organizations on campus, follows through another year with traditional efficiency. This council represents the nucleus of the activities of the student body. It is the tying together of many threads to a central official body. This year the student council took charge of all the events of homecoming and made it the exciting week that it should be. During the year they took care of all the small details necessary in the administra- tion of the student body; among these was the reallocation of student activity funds and many other things. They also con- ducted the spring election campaign for the students who are to take their place. 35 ♦ STUDENT FACULTY COMMITTEE First Row: Phillips, Liedman, Rawley, Cleland. Second Row: Hoover, Berry, Pool, Haag, Miller, Chilton. The purpose of the Student-Faculty Committee is to provide a means by which faculty and students may be brought together so that they may more easily see the other ' s viewpoints and may more effectively cooperate for the good of the college. Serving as a bridge between the student council and the organization of the faculty, the student- faculty committee seeks to interpret the actions of each of these groups to the other and to promote a spirit of under- standing. The committee determines instances in which the action of the student council affect the college as a whole. 36 It is the duty of the Student Court to convict or acquit a student brought before the court because of violation of college regulations. The penalties they inflict are in accord- ance with regulations adopted by the student council and the faculty. The representatives on this year ' s court are to be commended for their fine efforts in carrying out a diffi- cult task. Each fall two juniors and one senior are elected to fill the vacancies on the board. The two juniors remain in office for the following year. ♦ STUDENT COURT Here are the 1950-51 members of Student Court: Anderson, Whiteman, Behm, VanDeusen, Robb ♦ SIGMA OMICRON MU First Row: Beernink, Lmdberg, VanDeusen, Pool, Whiteman, Prugh. Second Row: Black, Hill, Ralston, Hemmer, Brickley, Erickson, Lauer, Wagner Third Row: Deegan, Kelly, Anderson, Hoover, Strohbehn, Terford, Young. Sigma Omicron Mu is the honorary scholastic fraternity of Monmouth College equivalent to the national honorary of Phi Beta Kappa. Each semester the fraternity sponsors scholarship day, at which time the juniors and seniors that are eligible for the honor are invited into the society. The active group of students pictured above have all fulfilled the high requirements necessary for initiation into this frater- nity. 38 First Row: Bossow, Kunde, Schlemmer, Black, Klang, Prugh. Second Row: VanDeusen, Haag, Brown, Young, Beernink, Griffith, Hemmer, Erickson, Hill, Wagner, Lauer, Pool. PI GAMMA PI Pi Gamma Pi is an honorary scholastic sorority organized for the purpose of encouraging high scholarship among freshman girls. A girl must carry twelve hours of work and maintain a 3.5 average for her first semester or both semesters combined in order to be eligible for initiation. These girls remain active members as long as they are enrolled at Mon- mouth. First Row: Richards, Smallwood, Rambach, Whiteman, Deegan, Walker. Second Row: Terford, Lindburg, Kelly, Kling, Hoover, Underhill, Chan. PHI ETA MU In order to encourage high scholarship among the freshman men on campus, Phi Eta Mu was founded by Dr. Hugh Beveridge. To be eligible for this honorary scholastic fraternity a freshman must have a grade point average of 3.5 in the first semester of his freshman year or over the entire year. Members of the organiza- tion remain active while they are enrolled at Monmouth College. Dr. Beveridge is the faculty ad- visor for the group. 39 ♦ TAU PI First Row: Freden- hagen, Clark, Erick- son, VanDeusen. Second Row: Brickley. Haag, Pool. Below are Mary Marg and Jo, winners of the Tau Pi Freshman Cup, The nineteenth class of Tau Pi was initiated in May, 1950, and its members are pictured above. Tau Pi was founded by Mary Ross Potter as the local organization which corresponds to Mortar Board. Members, who have achieved the finest ideals of womanhood, are chosen at the end of their junior year and make up the active membership for the suc- ceeding year. Each spring, these girls entertain the outstanding girls of the freshman class at a tea. The Tau Pi Freshman Cup for 1949-50 was awarded to the two outstanding freshman women. Mary Margaret Stewart and Jo-Ann Williams shared the honor because the members of Tau Pi believed that their character, high scholarship, and participa- tion in activities was outstanding. 40 ♦ PI KAPPA DELTA Silver tongued orators, glib extemp speakers, shrewd debaters are found as members of Pi Kappa Delta, the national honorary forensic fraternity. Students may become members after two years of speech work and after representing Monmouth in inter-collegiate forensics. Highlight of the 1950-51 season was the Pi Kappa Delta Province tourna- ment, when Monmouth was host to the other Illinois members. The weather was cold and icy but the guests enjoyed the warmth of M.C friendliness and the comfort of our Union. During spring vacation four members traveled to Stillwater, Oklahoma for the biennial national Pi Kappa Delta convention. Warmed by southern skies and hospitality the Monmouth representatives had a good time and made a creditable record. The annual speech week held sometime during May is always planned and directed by Pi Kappa Delta members. Initiation of new members is included in the week ' s activities. This is another one of the campus organizations contributing to the busy extra-curricular life of Monmouth. First Row: Jackson, Baehr, Phillips, Stewart, Schlem- mer. Second Row: Kelly, Miller. 41 ♦ NATIONAL COLLEGIATE PLAYERS These two members of National Collegiate Players were chosen because of their ability in acting and in all other phases of theater work, and because they met the necessary requirements of the national organization. Their aim is to encourage participation in dramatic performances, play writ- ing, and the study and appreciation of drama. Betty Jacobs and Lois Cradous were the only members of Crimson Masque eligible in 1949-50. ♦ FORENSIC LEAGUE The Monmouth College Forensic League is an organization open to students interested in developing their speaking ability. Operated under the advisory direction of the speech department, the Forensic League acts as the official representative of the College in all inter-collegiate off-campus speech events. Their aim is to improve student debate, discussion, and public speaking on campus and in public affairs. First Row: Yanson, Beabout, Kunde, Dutcher, Pirwitz. Brooke. Second Row: Baehr, Hoffmeister, Kirk, Miller, Cebreziabher, Wehmhoefer, Scharf, Jones 42 ♦ CRIMSON MASQUE Here we present the students who bring to the campus all the dramatic productions of the year. To start the year right they presented Franken ' s Claudia , a three-act comedy, with Jim Olesen and Marjorae Brown in the leading roles. Winkie Wilmot led the cast in their next production, Ladies in Retirement. This mystery kept the audience excited and Donna Nieman ' s realistic scream climaxed the whole eve- ning. Masquers ended their season of major plays with a bit of biting satire in The Imaginary Invalid , by Moliere. Ken Bailey as Argan, the invalid, headed an outstanding cast for one of the best entertainment events of the 1950-51 season. These and many other projects of Crim- son Masque such as the student-directed one-act plays and the freshman play are some of the highlights of the college year. Congratulations to all of you who have given much entertainment through Crimson Masque. First Row: Schlemmer, Cullberg, Brown, Emons, Wilmot, Zolan, Schlemmer.

Owen and the music was written by Carol Levine, Marcia Mc- Kee, and Joyce Beaumont. The staging, directing (Marge Brickley) and other production details along with the production cf the minstrel show were all done by members of this organization. Under the leadership of Mr. Loya and Mr. Balch, Pi Alpha Nu has done a lot to promote the cause of good music. ♦ PHI ALPHA THETA One of the highest ranking hon- orary societies, Phi Alpha Theta was organized in February of 1949 and is open to history ma|ors or minors with a 3.0 average in all their college work. At right are the new members chosen in 1950: Richard Robinson, Syoum Ceb- reziabher, Ruth Thornburg, Dr. Crier, Mr. Jamieson, and George Hartung. 44 ♦ Above are the officers of Sigma Tau Delta.

SIGMA TAU DELTA Sigma Tau Delta is a national English fraternity which fosters creative writing, appreciation of good literature and stimulating fellowship. The twenty- five members are chosen for their ability as creative authors, and their original papers are read at the monthly meeting. Each spring the organization spon- sors a freshman writing contest which is climaxed by the Sigma Tau Delta banquet at which the ten best papers are read and the members choose the three winning compositions. During the past year Mary Kennerly presided as president, with Rita Pool as vice-president, Edith Enckson as secretary, and Ralph Whiteman as treasurer. Dr. C. A. Owen acted as the faculty advisor.

Third Row: Robinson, McNally, Webster, Olesen, Underhill, Smith, Chestnut. 45 Editor Apitz contemplating editorial policy on such important problems as Hadacol ads. ♦ ORACLE STAFF The Oracle, Monmouth ' s student newspaper, seeks not only to report news of past, present, and coming events at the college of interest to the students and faculty, but also serves to broaden and direct student thinking on matters of local, national, and international interest. The struggle to maintain a good newspaper in the face of rising costs and decreased enrollment made necessary the change from a weekly to a bi-monthly paper which was instituted at the end of the first semes- ter. However, coverage of all events continued to be the rule, and the actual size of each issue increased. The keynote to the 1950-51 edition of the Oracle was experi- mentation aimed at developing a newspaper which was both progressive in outlook and pleasing in appearance. Single columns gave way to double and triple column- width stories, pictures were used generously, and mod- ernized headlines gave life to the pages.

This group does much to maintain Monmouth ' s traditional religious associations. COLLEGE CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION The CCA. Council consists of members chosen from the Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. cabi- nets. The council is responsible for the interesting and informative meetings held every Monday evening. These meetings have done much to stimulate Christian fellowship among the students.

The Y.M. also cooperated with the Y.W. in pub- lishing the Redbook, planning Freshman Week, and sponsoring Religious Emphasis Week and student chapel services. The Y movies were held on Friday nights and provided entertainment for many students.

During the annual spring tour the choir sings in high schools and churches, each year in a different section of the country, and this is considered the highlight of the year by most of the members. Students chosen for the trip are judged on the merit of their voices, ability as musicians, and their cooperation. Each Christmas when the College music department presents the Messiah Oratorio, many of the members of the choir join with the stu- dents and townspeople in this production.

They do much to add to the musical honors on campus. CHORALE These are the students who provide the music for daily chapel services and are under the direction of Mr. Balch. This group is very important to the service, especially when there are no hymnals for the student body to use. First Row: McKinlay, Hanson, McLaughlin, Edwards, Stew- art, Beabout, Jones. Second Row: Wasso, McCall, Mechem, Baumann, Balch, Denniston, Kolb, Hamilton, Woods. ♦ MESSIAH Each year the Monmouth College music department presents the Messiah Oratorio by Handel, during the Christmas season. Because of the size of the group, the Messiah is held in the gymnasium and is under the direction of Mr. Hayes. The soloists, orchestra and members of the student body helped to make this a memorable performance and one of the outstanding musical events of the year. 60 ♦ ORCHESTRA The orchestra is a necessary part of music on the campus. During the course of the year they assist in the Messiah, operetta and minstrel show, present the Knox-Monmouth joint orchestra concert, and in many other ways bring prestige to the music department. Arthur Campbell directs the orchestra and this year Joyce Beaumont was featured as soloist at the Knox-Monmouth Concert. ♦ BAND In the fall the work of the band members begins, with all the excitement of homecoming, the game and parade. It continues through the football sea- son as they help back the Fighting Scots. In mid-winter they occupy box seats for the basketball season and in the spring all Monmouth enjoys the concerts on the Wallace Hall steps. To Mr. Loya and the members we say thanks for a fine performance. 62 First Row: Robb, Haskell, Wil- cox, Fassett. Second Row: Benson, Josephson, Bashaw, Miller. C t INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL The Interfraternity Council consists of the presidents and one representative from each of the four fraternities on campus.

Every fall the members of the squad have tryouts for anyone wishing to join th e group. New members are chosen according to the qualih o x the cheerleading. To all those who worked so hard to create school spirit, we would like to say thanks. 64 First Row: Clindinin, Kuntz, Sillars, Barnett, McKee.

This scholarly identification of M. C. students is evident wherever you may wander — Wirtz ' s, the little store, Monmouth Park, or the Union. It is to these seven hundred that we dedicate this Ravelings hoping that in years to come we will remind you of all the truly collegiate days you spent on this campus. On the following pages we have pictured you as you looked to us from September to June. Perhaps in twenry-five years you won ' t believe it ' s true. 63 These are the Monmouth students after daily chapel service. Lois Baehr represents the goal of all the students on the follow- ing pages. 4 SENIORS YOU ARE ALMOST THROUGH . . . and you ' re a little sad . . . but this is what you ' ve been waiting for . . . that packing up your things for good . . . that taking off into a challenging world . . . that sup- porting yourself at long last . . . and it ' s good to be out of school finally! ... in years to come we ' ll be hearing great things from you . . . and maybe you ' ll look back to us . . . remembering four years of college life . . . the last march into chapel, the parting word from Dr. Crier . . . but even more vivid will be the memory of senior bench on a warm spring night, the blue room of the union, walking up the back hill, Norm Reid ' s moustache (?), and a million other incidents so typical of Monmouth College but not listed in the catalog . . . there are some things we ' ll remember about you . . .

Under the guidance of the Pan-hellenic and Inter-fraternity councils these social groups work to promote harmony and constructive projects on campus as well as intramural activities in sports, scholarship, and social events. The national fraternities at Monmouth College are Alpha Tau Omega, Theta Chi, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Tau Kappa Epsilon. Alpha Xi Delta, Kappa Delta, Kappa Kappa Camma, and Pi Beta Phi. Closely related to the Creeks are the national Independent Organizations f men and women who are unaffiliated. These groups also participate in the intramural program on campus. 92 JAMES HAPf  — ■§—■«■■——— ■pats — gl— «— — BUM • I - ♦ Midnight on North Ninth Street for dormi- tory girls may mean a goodnight kiss, a fraternity pin, or a weekend campus. 93 ALPHA XI DELTA The Beta Epsilon chapter of Alpha Xi Delta made its appear- ance on the Monmouth 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 Monmouth campus. Beta Epsilon ' s social calendar was complete, as it was filled with the formals, Pickle Mixes, initiation banquets, and teas. The Alpha Xis had a very full social season this year, starting off with their formal rush party at the home of one of the original founders of Alpha Xi Delta. Next came the monthly Pickle Mixes when the girls got together to eat, talk, and sing. At their annual Christmas party, Mrs. Santa Claus arrived in time to distribute gifts. During the Homecoming activities, the Alpha Xis were busy preparing their float, Sock ' em Boys and practicing their skit for stunt night. For the returning Alpha Xi alums, a luncheon was held downtown. After the Parents ' Day game, the parents First Row: Hessler, Johnson, Searle, Robertson, Bossow. Second Row: Strangeway.

Lois Cradous, a member of National Collegiate Players, appeared in Ladies in Retirement and was also chosen to appear in Who ' s Who. At almost any football or basketball game you will usually see Margaret Johnson and Bobby Pinckney out in front of the crowd leading the Monmouth cheers. A great project undertaken last summer was the redecoration of the Alpha Xi chapter room in the Terrace. This room is now complete with freshly painted walls, ceiling, new upholstery, and new furniture. The winter formal proved a success, and in the spring, the dreamy spring formal dance for Aloha Xis and their escorts proved a fitting climax to another year of activity. 95 First Row: McBride, Whipple, Lauter, Stewart, Robb, Dial, Dewey, Samsel, Evans, Shirck.

ALPHA TAU OMEGA The Epsilon Nu chapter of Alpha Tau Omega has eagerly turned the page of 1950 with its inscriptions of success and achievement and is already recording the events of an exciting new year, 1951. A.T.O. glances back at the past with a proud realization that the azure blue and gold colors have been flying high on Monmouth College campus. The Taus once again have captured the intramural football trophy and swimming trophy, thus encouraging more active com- petition in the present inter-collegiate conflict. Varsity sports 96 have their share of first string men from the house on the hill, including participants in football, basketball, track, and baseball. In social circles the annual Hallowe ' en Party began the social whirl for the year followed by numerous open houses, and the midseason culmination of events was the yearly Christmas Tea entertaining dates and guests. Following up in 1951, the Story Book Ball, the Valentine Dance and Indianapolis days will con- clude another gala season. Activities ranging from stage work to student government include the talents of many A.T.O. members. Student instigated improvements, both educational and social, have proven bene- ficial to the college, resulting directly from seats occupied in student council, student court, student governing board and student-faculty board. The scholastic achievements and mem- berships to various honorary societies on campus are many. So goes another progressive year in Alpha Tau Omega ' s history. A glance in the past brings pride as does a glance into the future with the hang together Taus. First Row: Stevenson, Holliday, Boehm, Holbrook.

For a number of social events they work cooperatively with the Inde- pendent Women. This year they have sponsored together a formal dance Frosted Fantasy, a party on a farm near Monmouth, and several picnics at Monmouth Park, The Men ' s group has had swimming parties, a ban- quet, and several stag parties The president of this organization this past year has been Bruce Baily, a senior. Under his able leadership the Indees have been an active and progressive group. First Row: Brickley, Bollman, Howells, Torsdahl, Congden, Wytanowych, Frueh.

INDEPENDENT WOMEN Working in cooperation with the Independent Men ' s Association, the members of the Independent Women ' s Association plan social activities for the women of the campus who are not affiliated with the sororities. The annual fall and spring formals are highlights of the year ' s activities. The Christmas party for underprivileged children, the skating party, teas, picnics, and other informal parties are included in their calendar. They also take active part in W.A.A. activities. For two years the associations of independent students on our cam- pus have been members of the National Student ' s Association and have participated in the activities of the N, I .S.A. through correspondence and by sending delegates to regional and national conferences.

The first activity of the year for Kappa Delta was par- ticipation in Freshman Week, sponsored by the Y.W.C.A.. followed by the excitement of rushing. On Pledge Day, seventeen eager girls looked ahead to their first year with Kappa Delta. October was another month of activity for the Beta Gamma girls. Homecoming with all its color elected Donna Niemann as senior queen, Billie Munson as freshman queen 100 and Edythe Schmucker as Homecoming Queen to reign over the special events at that time. The Kappa Delta ' s float, Scots Reign, placed second in the annual Homecoming Parade. Alumnae were welcomed by the chapter at a ban- quet at Hawcock ' s Cafe. At this time the pledge class was introduced and awards were presented to the outstanding active members of Beta Gamma Chapter. The Kappa Deltas again received the WAA. champion- ship trophy for having the most outstanding athletic teams in the girls ' intramural program. The Kiwanis Scholarship Plaque given to the sorority with the highest scholastic average was awarded to Kappa Delta this year. The KD social highlight of November was Artistry in Autumn. Kappa Delta girls and their guests danced in an atmosphere of pearls and emeralds. The Christmas season began with the traditional holiday tea given by the Monmouth alumnae chapter. The remain- der of the social calendar was filled with teas, Olive Binges, the spring formal, and the big initiation banquet held at the Calesburg Club. Thus ends another busy but happy year with Kappa Deltas participating in many and various activities on Mon- mouth College campus. First Row: Bruckner, Criffeth, Myers.

The 1949-1950 school year saw the chapter capture the Kiwanis award for top fraternal scholarship for both semesters. By virtue of this double victory, the chapter also received the Grand Chapter Scholarship Cup. Scholarship alone was not the only Sig Ep goal. By capturing first place in volleyball, Softball, golf and ending high in the standings in the other intramural sports, the brothers gained possession of the intramural athletic championship.

Outstanding events of the first semester of this year included the annual open house parties for Homecoming and Parents weekend, and the Christmas Smorgasbord. The chapter held its fall formal, Autumn Fantasy, on November 4, and also continued its custom with the Queen of Hearts Ball in the spring. The initiation of fourteen new actives during the fall brought the membership of the active chapter to forty- six. Seventeen new pledges during the first semester increased the chapter roster to a total of sixty-three men. Lorrin Fassett as president, John Suydam as vice-president, Ken Miller as secretary, and Louis Foster as treasurer were the undergraduates who led the chapter through a most successful year. This represents only a few of the wide variety of activities participated in by members of the chapter 103 ♦ KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA First Row: Bischmann, Barnett, Kuntz, Wilmot, Desehwanden, Watt.

Alpha Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma had another busy year within the chapter and in campus affairs as they celebrated the eighty-first anniversary of their founding on Monmouth campus. Kappas Winkie Wilmot and Mar- jorae Brown had the leads in the last three Masque pro- ductions. Wearers of the key were well represented in this year ' s Minstrel Show, and Joyce Beaumont helped compose the original score for the Operetta. Student government offices had their share of capable KKCs with seats occupied in the student court, student council, stu- dent governing board and student-faculty board. Fresh- 104 men and seniors elected Bonnie Peterson and Alberta Plumer as class officers. Kappa was also well represented in honorary societies, forensics, music, the annual water show, athletics, publications staffs, and the numerous clubs on campus. Climaxing Rush thirty new members joined Kappa, and Alpha chapter was proud of her twenty-eight wearers of the Sigma Delta pin. To celebrate their pledging, a ban- quet was held at the Elks Club. The pledges gave their traditional early morning breakfast for the other pledge groups, parties for actives, and readily joined the stream of activities at Monmouth. Kappas entertained guests at the annual Tea Dance, formal dances, Coffee Clutches, Kappa-fraternity teas, the spring treasure hunt, and other social occasions throughout the year. Alums were hon- ored at banquets, the faculty with a tea, and in May, one was given for Mother ' s Day. Kappas themselves enjoyed monthly Pretzel Benders. The Kappa Key is busy at Monmouth.

As has been the case in the past, the Tekes took part in all phases of campus activity, ranging from varsity athletics to student government and dramatics. Homecoming was celePrated at the Teke house with a buffet luncheon for alumni and guests, and later a Fifth Quarter open house following the game. The shining golden horse won first place for TKE in the homecoming parade, and the Teke stunt, featuring a tricky Charleston number, won the first place trophy for stunt night. The big white house on the corner was the scene of many festive open houses. Especially outstanding was the song title open house, at which a good time was had by all.

Other social activities included the all school tea in the fall, the annual Parents ' Day Dinner, and the Christmas Party for deserving children. All these social functions combined to form a well-rounded program which was climaxed by the gala spring formal. The Tekes were active in varsity athletics, and also played an important part in the intramural picture. The fraters of TKE can look with pride at their record of achievement during the past year, as they continue to be strong and successful today; stronger and more successful tomorrow. 107 ♦ PI BETA PHI First Row: Hill, Roszell, Myers, Bjork, Pierce, Dietrich, MacDougall.

Sixteen girls were pledged to Pi Beta Phi and began their work towards becoming an active. Soon after pledging came homecoming. In preparation for this the Pep Club tapped three Pi Phis as members. They were Marcia McKee. Jean Sillars, and Marty Applegate. Mary Ellen Ripley was chosen by the sophomore class as attendant to the queen and reigned with the court during the homecoming game and dance. This fall Mrs. Maurine Cook, Pi Beta Phi province pres- ident, visited the Monmouth College campus, holding con- ferences with the girls and visiting Holt house. A Cookie Shine was given in her honor with entertainment furnished by the pledges. This year Marcia McKee and Carol Levine are two of the students writing the music for the original operetta, and Carol Levine was chosen to direct the min- strel show. The annual Twelfth Night Dance was held with coke-tails at Holt house, and dinner at the Elks Club before the dance at the Colonial Hotel. The pledges en- tertained at parties given for the other sorority pledge classes in a way fitting the wearers of the arrowhead pledge pin. First Row: Speer, Robb, Brunner.

The men of the chapter, collectively, succeeded in winning the 1950 Interfraternity sing, and they also brought home the first place trophy for house decorations during the 1950 homecoming. Recognizing the need for social activities as an integral part of college life. Beta Pi again presented a well-filled social calendar for the school year.

The men of Beta Pi chapter are proud of their record and are proud of the fact that as it reaches one hundred years of existence, Theta Chi fraternity is forging an outstanding posi- tion of leadership in the Greek-letter world. It is our constant aim to keep the activities of Theta Chi at Monmouth on the highest level, and to ever strive to better our contributions to campus life, so that we may do our part to keep the fraternity system as a whole in a favorable light before the critical eyes of the public. Ill SPORTS Participation in sports constitutes an important part in the life of college students, whether it be varsity or intra- mural. On the following pages are the men who spend their spare time practicing in order to create outstanding teams and represent Monmouth College. 112 And the crowds cheered. Dave Allison in the diamond represents the men of sports on the campus. ♦ VARSITY FOOTBALL Above: Jelly praises a fine team. 12 ' i Am Above: He didn ' t get far.

Football got underway two weeks before school last season. Jake took over the linemen and produced a very offensive line as well as one of the best de- fensive lines in the conference. Augustana. September 23 opened Monmouth ' s season at Augustana. The terrific line play resulted in piling up 373 yards to Augie ' s 93. North Central. The team turned in another trium- phant show by edging the Cardinals out 25-13 in a last quarter flurry of T.D.s. Coe. At Coe, Monmouth suffered its first defeat in a rain drenched duel. They bowed before the Kchawks 25-13. Ripon. The Redmen scored twice in the first quarter. The Scots rallied when Malmquist scored two times from the three yard marker. Grinnell. Bogott tallied the only score for Monmouth. The Pioneers, by stressing the forward pass and using our fumbles, won 1 3-6. Carleton. Due to the passing finesse of Marck of Carleton, the Scots were beaten 21-0. Beloit. After a week without a game but plenty of hard practice, the Scots finally began to play ball and defeated the Bucs 20-14. Knox. Monmouth lost a tough battle to the Siwashers 13-7. Without Captain Behnke the line was affected but undoubtedly turned in the finest record of the season. First Row: Jaquet, Frymire, Klemmer, Whiteman, Ceiger, Allison, R.

Many prospects were noticed during the season and may well be looked forward to next season. Such players as Brown, Nichol, Zalokar, Sanderson, Asplund, Tomcheff and others were always playing heads-up ball. In their first encounter the Baby Scots whipped Augie B team 19-6. The frosh team was one of the smallest (in number) teams ever to report at Monmouth ; however, there are some very talented men on that team. Frew Brown scored as did Dick Lewis and Lloyd Renfro. Their second and last game did not turn out as well as their first. They lost to Knox at home by a 14-13 score. This was the first time since 1941 that Knox beat Monmouth in the frosh tilt. The scoring was done by Renfro and Lewis on a pass from Renfro. With only three minutes left, Herman passed for a Knox T.D. and made the conversion. 116 3nmouth Opponents onmouth 56 Augustana Dnmouth 53 Quincy Dnmouth 62 Cornell onmouth 72 Coe nmouth 69 Central (Iowa! )nmouth 56 Parsons inmouth 50 Carthage mmouth 57 Augustana ■nmouth 58 Crinnell nmouth 66 Eureka nmouth 64 Knox nmouth 72 Beloit nmouth 97 Carthage nmouth 63 Crinnell nmouth 65 Carleton nmouth 66 Lawrence nmouth 64 Ripon imouth 79 Knox imouth 71 Lake Forest Won 5; Lost 14 58 65 65 66 64 81 53 72 75 56 84 66 71 79 77 75 77 Above: Bruch snaes one Left: He ' ll make it. 117 ♦ FRESHMAN FOOTBALL : Jester, Beale, Landsell, Thorns, Tomcheff, Sanderson, McCall, Renfro, Webster.

As could be expected the game was close all the way with the Scots on top of a very strong Knox team, 79-75. The game was high- lighted by a scoring spree put on by Herb Pratt in the final home game of his college career. By combining 14 free throws and S baskets for 30 points he produced the highest one game total for the season. Injuries and the loss of the tallest man on the squad, Lowell Reynolds, seemed to be keeping the Scots from winning consistently. The loss of Dick Scholten at mid-year graduation seemed to make matters worse, but with Coach Trotter repeatedly sending in fresh men and always looking for the best combination, satisfying results were realized. Winning games in a conference that includes such strong schools as Carleton, Beloit, and Crinnell is a tough assignment and through the efforts of Lyle Boggott, Don Brooks, Herb Pratt, Don Chew, Keith Follett, Mert Messmore, and Bill Walton, Monmouth made a creditable showing.

In those four games they showed without question that they had height, speed, and a good scoring punch. The task of trying to teach the boys college style ball fell to Coach Jaquet. His job, however, wasn ' t too difficult as he had some outstand- ing talent with which to work. From Illinois came Jim Asplund, Ron Boehm, Pete Nelson, and Jim Young. From Iowa we got Phil Armknecht and Myron Deltgen. Dick Lewis traveled from Pennsylvania and Vic Atchison hails from mile high Denver, Colorado. Although winning two games the boys showed that they are capable of filling the places left by this year ' s graduating varsity members. The adept ball handling of Jim Asplund and Phil Armknecht and the rebound- ing efforts of Jim Young and Ron Boehm are things which the Monmouth fan will be looking forward to during next year ' s basketball season. 120 iight on top: Take that. Right middle: Chow down, gentlemen. Right bottom: May I have the next waltz? ♦ CROSS COUNTRY ' 50 When the half-time of a football game rolls around the spectators ' eyes turn to the far end of the field and strain to see who it is that ' s leading the cross-country pack. Only once did the Mon- mouth fans see the Red and White sprint in from a rough three mile course. Hats off to these fel- lows who really work up a sweat to bring home the bacon. They are under the supervision of Coach Robinson but are mostly on their own during practices. As before, Monmouth had the versatile star, Bob Carlsten, wearing the uniform which only a previous year was seen to break so many tapes for valuable records. Teamed up with Bob was Baird, Trask, Smith, MacDonald, Riggs and Richards. All of these men ran for old M.C. and even in de- feat they broke the tape to Monmouth tradition and spirit. Monmouth Opponent Monmouth 43 Coe 18 Monmouth 20 Crinnell 36 Monmouth 18 Carthage 38 ♦ VARSITY TRACK 50 Monmouth ' s varsity track team need not take a back seat to any one team anywhere. Perhaps the greatest feat of the team was when they de- feated both Bradley and Notre Dame in the mile relay at the Bradley Invitational, The Red and White were constantly being a threat to all track teams by making a good showing at the Chicago Daily News Relays, and also by taking a second place m both the Coe and Beloit Relays. The thin- clads also were guests of the University of Chicago, Purdue and Drake. In the conference race Mon- mouth finished second once more being edged out by Beloit with only a few points difference. The team took many firsts with Jim Schweitzer heaving the discus 145 feet and Pratt capturing the hurdles. ♦ GOLF 50 Captain Keith Follett led the linkmen through- out the season and together with Coach Bobby Woll and golfers Thompson, Jim Feehley, Trowbridge,. Emons, Bolinger and Don Chew they finished eighth in the conference. These men exemplified the fine spirit and cooperation shown by all Scots. They did not have one of their best seasons but they were golfing for the top all the time. Most of these men will be back this year to square up a few matters and Monmouth ' s golf team should be one of the better ones in the conference due to the experience gained last year. Jim Feehley and Charley Emons graduated last June but Coach Woll will have some surprising reserves. First Row: Robinson, Wilcox, Weade, Carlsten, DeMorest, Riggs, Kruidenier, Pratt. Smallwood, S.

The track was wet and slow during their encounter with Bradley but dry and fast for the Knox contest. In the Mid-west Conference there is a Freshman Tele- graphic meet for all the Freshman teams in the Conference. Monmouth ' s Baby Scots took fourth in it which is very commendable. Paced by Rich- ards, Cuelle, Trask, Brooks, Sharpe, and many others, Coach Robinson had little trouble looking for fine track men. Sprint men, weight men and distance men all worked together and turned in a fine season Monmouth Opponent Monmouth 53 Bradley 77 Monmouth 78 Knox 53 Won 1 ; Lost 1 ♦ TENNIS 50 With the return of lettermen Anderson, Fenton, Frymire and Brandt, plus the newcomers Bailey and Foster, Coach Robinson found the season unsuc- cessful because the competition was overwhelming. These racket swinging Scots came up against some pretty rough teams and players but they always were in there swinging. Captain Bob Anderson led the netmen in true Monmouth tradition and win, lose or draw these men were among the finest athletes. Credit should go to Coach Jelly Robinson for the time and effort with which he coached these men.

This baseball team of 1950 was one of the school ' s finest and made a creditable showing. Under the coaching eyes of Jake Jaquet, the team won 1 2 games and lost four for a season percentage of .750. The team ' s captain was Johnny Lemon who turned in a fine performance at third base. The reserve strength in every position was met with depth and know-how. Perhaps it was in the battery department that we showed our greatest talents with pitchers like Monmouth ' s only four lettermen, Billy Walton, Tom Feehley, Tom Hoffman, Bob Hofbaur and a few others; also with men like Tiny Moore, Gene Missavage and Tom Klug behind the plate.

However, Coach Woll did what he could even with the strict limitations put on Freshman sports. The Frosh scrimmaged the varsity and also practiced on their own. Most of the men who did go out for Frosh baseball were the ones who looked forward to playing ball with the varsity men. The varsity took up the practice facilities and this also hampered the Freshmen. The varsity should be pleased to get some of these boys on the team because they will certainly do justice to the game of baseball. Monmouth 6 Burlington J. C. 15 Monmouth 7 Burlington J.

With finmen Larry Benson, Bill Dewey, Don Neuses, Bob Lauter and many more swimmers the team did splendidly. The diving of Nick Weber helped out the team considerably. One of the biggest treats was the first place taken by Monmouth at the Augie Olympics. Coach Woll and his men had a great season and should be complimented for the fine show Monmouth made in all its meets. ♦ Monmouth Opponent Monmouth 58 1. Wesleyan 20 Monmouth 62 1.

They looked strong in the first meet but finally gave way to lack of reserves. They also showed zip and determination and showed the Varsity that they will make bids for positions come next season. The Frosh fish provided Knox with a tough schedule and should be admired for their fine swimming. You showed drive, Frosh; the Varsity will look forward to you next aqua-year.

To the men who wear the M ' s should go the undying respect of the school and students. For it is only because of the unselfishness of these men that Monmouth takes a front seat in athletics in the Midwest Conference. Because Monmouth doesn ' t give athletic scholarships we know that Monmouth ' s Scots are playing because they like the sport and not because it profits them. The above men represent athletics in all sports: football, baseball, basketball, track, swimming, golf and tennis. They work hard and long and always strive to win but in any case they are Monmouth ' s Fighting Scots and should be applauded. So once again it ' s hats off to you M-men for the wonderful work you ' ve done during the past year. 127 SHOES AND CLOTHING FOR MEN BE VALUE WISE — ECONOMIZE AT HARRY SHAPIRO ' S 87 Public Square Phone 831 ALWAYS INSIST ON THE BEST FLOWERS FOR EVERY OCCASION ' MAPLE CITY FLORAL CO. 1201 South Main Phone 89 Monmouth Bowling Lanes 436 North 11th Street Phone 246 Quarter Mile North of Monmouth, on Route 67 HIGHLAND COURT MOTEL 1219 North Main Street Monmouth, Illinois Owner and Proprietor Telephone Robert J.

Broadway Monmouth, Illinois 1951 This year will be long remembered in college history. It has b een a year of indecision for so many — whether to join the Air Force, Navy, or wait for the draft. It has been a year of good-byes as one by one the boys drop out of school. Our interest and good wishes go with each one of you as you go East, West, North or South. We hope those who have had their education interrupted will not feel that their college days are over. Many of the best students have been the GI members of the last war. Plan to return to college when your years of service are over. GLENN E.
