A nippish wind swept in from the northwest over bleak knolls of the Lamoine prairie. A few hundreds had ventured to as- semble for the dedication. The cornerstone had been laid according to Masonic rites by men garbed in emblematic white aprons and white plumed hats. Ex-Governor E. L. Tanner pulled his coat tightly about him and spoke the words of dedication. The christening of Westem Illinois Normal School was complete. O RAPID has been the growth and development of Western Illinois State Teach- ers College and so intently have all eyes been focused on her present achieve- ments and future possibilities that scarce a moment has come in which to view the past. The school has now existed for an space of time that measured- by human life is known as a generation, and it seems wise to look and attempt to gather up the threads which woven together have made the complete pattern of the school as we have it today. y This is the more necessary since the persons intimately connected with the early life of the institution are rapidly passingj, and with them valuable information. So at this time The Sequel presents in an historical issue some ofthe high lights of this early period. l In addition the book presents all of the usual features found in yearbooks. This material is organized into two sections. p In one is found matter pertaining to the things which are inseparable elements of the college, faculty, classes, etc. In the other section are to be found accounts of the many activities in which students engage and which lend to the year individuality. --:L ' ..v:,:....-. , - l i .... , E - Q, :guise , 'Au - - . , -S- . ..- -- - 4 Q: --aff he-fs s. if-sf' l ---. . f i as 'fjilftgu - fi ii:-lr-4 1- ' flf- li:- NIT 9- .. ., A -fm . urrugl M Y J- -5 - .ff - .. nm Xi ' J? - ---4' 'J ff V220 1 .,,, ' T- A V M5 ,, - -. -' il-T'-L, 7.4 'F V -Xi .-2.7 ..-i ..?7 ff.g?' - 72 2 :za -Q - me i-1-,age 5 - r ' N jvzf-4 I 5 EJ 'ifiz ., if 1455 'ZZ jf ,Eg -11 555-4.-' , f T .J si ' af - 2' f ,5 fefi fn- aa. p -- ails' 'T . ,- . e - 2.-4: frfirlfhl ' 5 : ' r l: 7355 ffl- lla T' '43-Tv 5' 5 ?- - -L - sa: , p gl a d. .tl-J! 52,534 3 5 .1-. p '--.g..'A 'rf' r T' ' - ' ff- W' Q -qz F 1'Q -E ' S+-T e..?l?':: .,.....s yf- vi-g, gl-lla-'f:: gia fif--11: :: : 'vi e i--3 L ..

The one building and its unkempt surroundings fat the left, have little in common with the array of imposing buildings portrayed above. Monroe Hall was erected in 1912. The Arts Building was occupied in 1918. ' The present power plant was placed in use in 1927. The Morgan Gymnasium was dedicated in May 1929. The Academy Building took on its present form in the same year. Note--The reproduction of the main building at the time of construction is taken. from a photograph and is accurate in every detail.

Speaker Sherman's gavel smacked the rostrum with a crack, audible to the most remote nook of the assembly hall. The legislative measure, carrying Western Illinois State Normal to the very brink of reality, had been stamped with the approval of the Gen- eral Assembly. The movement to locate a normal school in the Military Tract Country, like most activities which enlist the efforts of the many, was not individually conceived. Rather it came about after a general feeling that had arisen over 'western Illinois that this section of the state was in need of and soon to have an institution for the training of teachers. Even amid the general clamor for such a school, naturally, some one person or a group of persons first dared to think of the possibility in a concrete manner. The presence of the college in Macomb is the best evidence that this mind, daring first to visualize, was possessed by a Macomb citi- zen. What a monument is Western, as the school appears today, to that first uncertain, feeble, yet hopeful conception, born less than two- score years ago. To whom should go the credit for having first entertained the idea of a normal school in Macomb, it is difficult to say. The late John Keefer was wont to honor Jacob C. Thompson, who at the time of the school's inception was studying law in the office of the distinguished Judge Lawrence Y. Sher- man, as the man first to advance Macomb as the logical place for the location of the new normal school. Mr. Thompson, with the tact and modesty of a cultured gentle- man, is firm in his refusal to admit or deny his connection with the school's very early jThe map shows all of the cities which were desirous of Securing the new normal school, which was to be lo- cated near the center of the Military Tract. Spring- field, Peoria, and Keokuk were not interested cities but are shown nierely to secure the proper geographic rela- tionships. history. Fortunate it was that Lawrence Y. Sher- man, then speaker of the lower house of the S Lawrence Y. Sherman, well known Illinois political fig- ure at the turn of the cen- tury, was keenly interested in locating a school at Macomb, his home city. He was speak- er of the Illinois Assembly, a position which gave him tremendous influence. Illinois Assembly, was found as a champion for the newly born cause. Whether the desire for a school in Macomb originated with him or one of his asso- ciates may remain undeter- mined, but Macomb could not have hoped to be chosen as the site without the tremendous in -- fluence of Speaker Sherman.

The air View shows not only the buildings but the campus and the sparsely wooded slopes of the prairie north of the school. HE bill for the creation of such a school was written by Mr. Thompson, who was at the time a bill carpenter for Judge Sherman. A host of others, including C. V. Chandler, W. A. Compton, I. M. Feilheimer, H. C. Agnew, John Keefer, and editors, Van H. Hampton, W. H. Hainline, and T. J. Dudman, gave freely of their time and effort in order that the school might be brought to Macomb. As the original bill p-rovided, every avail- able location in the territory was to be ex- amined before the place for the school was determined. Sites were offered by Mon- mouth, Oquawka, Aledo, La Harpe, Ma- comb, Rushville, and Quincy, while each city was ready to comply with stipulations set by the Board. The prospective sites were visited by the Board of Trustees during the month of August, 1899. The value of hav- ing the institution located in their respective towns caused much competition among the civic minded citizens of the contesting com- munities. On August 31, after having visited each locality, the Trustees met at Galesburg and there heard the pleas of the competing towns. Of the act creating the schools, the portion which authorized the Trustees To receive from localities desiring to secure the location of said school proposals for dona- tions of a suitable site and other valuable considerationsv was interpreted to include monetary contributions. Accordingly, the towns offered, besides the sites, varying sums of money as follows: Rushville, S120,000g Aledo, S70,000g Macomb, 3570,- jThirty years have transformed the ravine from a small brook winding its way through very ordinary countryside into a place of shaded beauty. The photograph was taken south of the campus, probably as far south as Calhoun Street. ' 000, Monmouth, S54,000g Quincy, 530,- 900g and La Harpe, S10,000. A In an attempt to decide the issue, the Board was in session thirty-seven days, held sixty-one separate sessions, and cast five hundred ninety-seven ballots. At just the moment when it appeared that the Board was about to make a decision deciding in favor of Aledo, Monmouth, or Rushville, the Governor requested their resignation and created a new board. The rules governing the new Board abolished the pecuniary con- siderations. Less than one year later, August 14, 1900, the Board assembled at Spring- Held, and cast one ballot unanimously se- lecting Macomb as the future site of Wes- tern Illinois State Normal School. The building season being too far ad- vanced and the appropriated sum ridicu- lously inadequate, it was decided to con- struct only the foundation of the building at that time. Plans and specifications sub- mitted by tlte State Architect were accepted by the Board and the contract was awarded for 512,000 to the Tri-City Construction Company of Davenport, Iowa. jThis unusual photograph was taken in 1875 from the top of a windmill, located over the well now known to Western students as the Old Well. The large building seen in the distance is the present Court House, just completed when the picture was taken. HE next spring on April -5, 1901, a contract was let to the same company for a consideration of Sl68,980, which cleared the way for continued work ony the main building. 1 It is difficult for persons today to realize how remote from the Macomb business cen- ter the site of the new school appeare to be at that time. Conversation with lder citizens reveals that there was some feeling in many cases that the state had beeniun- wise in selecting an old brickyard arid a series of brakes and hollows west of Ma- comb as a site for the school. In order that the school might be accessible to the town, the city under bond entered into contlract for building pavement on Carroll west to Sherman Avenue, on Sherman Avenue nbrth from Carroll to Adams, and east on Adams to Lafayette Street. The city was to fur- nish sewer connections for the new school, to clear and seed the ground that was to be the campus, and to construct power lines to the site of the new school. y SAlfred Bayliss, who had been Superintend- ent of Public Instruc- tion, came to Western as President in 1l906. Through his efforts: sev- eral departments .were added and a number of important changes fwere made. He served lxntil his tragic death in 11911. The Monroe Hall! was the last contribution which Mr. Baylissrnade to the school. Despite the lateness of the building season the foundation of the building was com- pleted early in December and the date for the dedication and laying of the corner stone was set for the first day of winter, Decem- ber 21, 1901. A solid canopy of clouds and a moderate but biting' northwest vsiind greeted the large. crowd that had paraded from the business section to the location of the new school to hear, former Governor John B. Tanner give the dedicatory address after the corner stone had been laid accord- ing to Masonic rites. -5 Speaker Sherman and his colleagues were desirous of securing Alfred Bayliss for lthe first president of the new Western Illinois Normal School, hence the comment that the school was built for Mr. Bayliss is heard l N l Qjohn W. Henninger was appointed the first president of Western Illinois in 1901. Much of the early success of the school may be at- tributed to Mr. Hen- ningcr's organizing abil- ity. He served as presi- dent during the first five years of the school's existence, most perilous years in the life of any college. yet today. Mr. Bayliss was superintendent of public instruction at the time and was extremely interested in taking the responsi- bility of developing the school at Macomb. A change of governors in the 1900 elections effected a drastic change in the plans for the school. John W. Henninger, then su-- perintendent of schools in Jacksonville, was called as the first president. On April 22, 1902, the first faculty meeting was held, and the plan presented by Mr. Henninger provided for three departments, primary, in- termediate, andygrammar, the plans being generally acceptable as presented. Exactly at nine o'clock on the morning of Tuesday, the twenty-third day of Sep- tember, 1902, a business-like young man stepped out of the front door of the main building and rang a brass colored bell lus- tily, and the three hundred and seventy-- three students, who had enrolled in the Nor- mal and preparatory departments, assembled for the first day of school. The young man appeared each school morning at the front door with the bell, so long, in fact, that he ceased to be young, and when the primitive means of summoning all the students to or- der was dispensed with, Ed. De Camp con- tinued to serve the school as he does even today as director of the caretakers of the many buildings on the campus. Serious difficulties were encountered be- cause of the building's being incomplete, making it necessary that the work of the Training School and also that of the Normal School be done on the first floor. All Hn- ished rooms, constituting the first floor, were in use all of the time, maximum co- operation and mutual concession were es- sential .in order that confusion might be minimized.

The bill was, ever, vetoed by the Governor. A contrilbu- tion of one thousand dollars by Albert Eads of Macomb, enabled the completion and fur- nishing of two rooms on the second floor, while a temporarily improvised floor in vsihat is now the reserve library, provided space for indoor sport, and the auditorium lwas not finished until 1906. ' 1 With the inauguration of Charles S. De- l l neen as governor in 1905, President Hen- ninger tendered his resignation to take effect at once, and Mr. Samuel B. Hursh, then head of the department of English, was chosen as acting-president by the Board un- til a president should be elected. In the first term of 1905-'06 the Board tendered the presidency to Alfred Bayliss, who ac- cepted on condition that he assume the duties of the office at the end of the school year. Above: The faculty baseball team in 1912. Mr. Gin- HE reorganization of the school under President Bayliss effected several radi- cal changes: three divisions of the school were provided for, the Normal school, Prac- tice school, and Academy, several new de- partments were added while y others were broadened, meth- A ods courses, physical culture and agricultural courses were added, several changes oc- curred in the faculty, curric- ulums were altered. In 1906 correspondence courses were offered by several depart- ments and were carried on for several years, entailing much work on the part of the faculty. In 1911 exten- sion classes were organized. The same year was secured the appropriation for the Monroe Hall. School publications made their appearance almost at the opening of school. In a joint conference of students and faculty a school paper was established. It was published monthly during the first four years and was known as the Clionian. In 1906 the Courier appeared and has been printed regularly ever since. The class of 1904 published the WISNS Class Souvenir, a nine by twelve inch, 26 page booklet, which was distributed before graduation week, carrying pictures of School Trustees, Faculty, the two grad- uates, a historical sketch of the school, and many other things. The first annual was printed by the Macomb Journal, and the photos were taken by the Wheat Studio. WALTER P. MORGAN The Sequel was published the next year and has appeared each year since. f The excellent administration of President Bayliss terminated tragically in the summer of 1911. While in western Iowa, looking after his farm, he was thrown by a frightened horse and fatally injured. The best sur- gical skill was summoned, but, the injury being beyond all medical aid, he died after eleven days of unconscious- ness. His loss was mourned by the entire school-facul- ty, students, and alumni. Es- teemed and loved by all, fair and open minded, weighing all factors before acting, in- telligent, delightfully social yet never trivial-these are the virtues declared to be a part of Alfred Bayliss. The class of 1911 set on the campus a boulder upon which was engraved his name, and the pipe organ secured through his efforts was fnamed The Bayliss Organ. Mr. John E. McGilvrey became acting president, after having been granted a year's leave by the Normal School of Kent, Ohio, of which school he had been chosen head. The position of Director of Training and head of the Department of Education, for- merly held by Mr. McGilvrey, was tendered to Walter P. Morgan of Terre Haute, Indi- ana, who began official connection with the school February 26, 1912. Upon Mr. Mc- Gilvrey's assuming his duties at the Normal School at Kent, Ohio, in June, 1912, Mr. Morgan was elected, and took up the duties of president on June 17, 1912. s s Recent Buildings On The Campus S The Arts Building J was erected in 1918, and the Morgan Gym- nasium was completed in 1929. E I I E LTHOUGH Mr. McGilvrey cook vslith him to Kent, Ohio, six instructors and the registrar, their positions were succlss- fully filled with excellent men and wo en selected by President Morgan, and with but little interruption the school went on. l It becoming necessary that a member of the faculty devote his entire time to the Extension work, Mr. Van Cleve assumed the responsibility, and by 1915-'16 an Exten- sion director became essential. In 1916-'i17, 865 students enrolled in extension classes, seven members of the faculty participated in the work and 957 term credits were is- sued to students in extension classes. The administration of Walter P. Morgan may well be termed the Era of the Buillgler in Western's history. The foundations had just been laid when Dr. Morgan was plalzed in charge of the school twenty-two ydars ago this month. The influence of the sclrool was relatively limited, the physical plant entirely inadequate, but it was soon evident that the new president was intent upon ml k- ing the school one of the foremost pro es- sional institutions of the state. The mid-spring term was institutedf in May 1913. Courses in advance of the r ular two year work were offered in 19 and the Act of the General Assembly in 1921 recognized the splendid work wh'ch had been done at Western, changing the Pg' 17, name of the school from Western Illinois Normal School to Western Illinois State Teachers College. Buildings were added, the Monroe Hall in 1912, the Arts Building in 1918, the new power plant in 1927, the Morgan Gymnasium in 1929, and the Acad- emy Building the same year, and the ex- panding of the facilities affords an excellent index to the rapid advance in the school's worth under the administration of President Morgan. Today Western faces an increasingly great problem. The number of students has grown steadily during the past five years. A pronounced increase has been recorded during the past two years. Facilities are overtaxed again. Classes are crowded, and class rooms are too few and too small. The solution is not yet apparent, but the college has the assurance that President Morgan will wisely employ all of the school's resources in meeting and solving this and whatever other crises 'may appear in the future. Note:-The Sequel wishes to thank Lawrence Y. Sherman of Miami, Florida and -I. C. Thompson of Springfield, Illinois for their assistance in the prepara- tion of the early history of the school written for the opening section of The Sequel. The Sequel is also in- debted to S. B. Hursh, who wrote a brief history of the school for the twenty-fifth anniversary quarterly. The staff wishes also to thank Cora Harris of Macomb for the priceless kodak pictures which she supplied for the book. The ARCHITECTS DRAWING OF THE PROPOSED TRAINING SCHOOL BUILDING QThe business depression has delayed for several years the construction of the proposed Training School.

The addition of new departments was a rather fre- quent occurrence until the decade of the twenties was well under way. Practically all of the department, and most of the non- department clubs were organized after 1925. The classes found in the good old days were organi- zations in the strict- est sense of the word. Each class had a flower, a col- or, and perhaps a bird or an animal a girls could write pages of poetry and in behalf of which the boys would willingly annihilate any neighboring classmen and his own Sunday-go-meetin' suit. Yes, the world changes. The material presented in the 1934 Sequel is divided into two sec- tions. In this first division are found all things relating to the factors which are positively necessary to the organization of the school. It is in this section that they articles on the departments embracing pictures and editorial comment on the faculty bout which the THE COLLEGE and department clubs, are found. Classes are presented in this section, accompanied by accounts of the class elections and the outstanding activities of these four large groups into which the student body of the college is segregated. The- features in this section of The Sequel are the ones which appear in every college and high school year- book in one form or another. Frequently an editor is asked, why not toss away the old traditions of annuals and dis- pense with the ever present faculty pic- tures and the mo- notonous pages of class panels? Yet they always appear in the next issue. The answer is sim- ple. An account of a year in college cannot be complete, in fact must be to- tally inadequate, unless the faculty, the classes, and their affiliated groups are presented. And so it is that as long as schools have faculty and classes they needs must be included in any year-book which to any degree attempts to present a panorama of a school year. It is with pleasure that The 1934 Sequel presents the organizations, faculty and students, which constitute the college. It serves as a means of connect- ing that face and name which has been such a puzzle before. One can see just who did belongto his depart- ment and its organization. 1 .1-5 .- V. :,5s15'Ef- 'z L .45 - x,.,. ITA L,-., X- ifn- ' W-,,-79:4 L M M V W J -mari , I.

Morgan and handled by an eiiicient staff employing the most recent methods used in the larger colleges and universities of the country. The greatest advance made during the year is found in the record- ing department Where a new filing system has been installed and has been brought up to date in so far as records of former students permitted. Rec- ords of students in school today are much more detailed and complete and filed very much more compactly than ever before. Miss Hertha Voss and Miss Velna Sollars have been in charge of the new system of records. H. F. Currens has served his tenth year as dean of the Western faculty this year. He has taken charge of the school during the absences of Presi- dent Morgan. Dr. Currens has a host of other duties to handle in connec- tion with the administration of the school. In the ofHce of the registrar most of the routine business, with which the students come in contact, is dis- charged. O. L. Champion has been school registrar since 1920, and has been associated with the school con- S President and Mrs. Morgan, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Albert Bailey of Macomb, as they appeared at the reception for President Fairchild of Old Normal.

Miss Donna Draper is the secretary to the presi- dent. She has held that position since 1925. This year Miss Draperis desk has been moved from the Registrars Office into the inner oflice occupied by Dean Currens before he moved into the Recorder's Giiice last fall. l'2 Western's two deans, M. N. This- ted and Caroline Grote, maintain more direct contact with the students than all the others of the administrative staff combined. Dean of Men This- ted issues all statements of absence. recommendations for irregular Work, advice for Working schedules, and 2 I handles other kindred matters for the men of the college. Dean of Women Grote serves in the same capacity for the women of the college. Each dean has one important duty aside from the deanship. Mr. Thisted is principal of Western Academy, and Miss Grote is chairman of the calendar committee. All problems pertaining to the ad- ministration of the training school come to the at- tention of R. R. Simpkins, Who has handled this work for more than 20 years, coming to Wes- tern in 1912. He is assisted in the administra- t i o n o f t h e training school by Katharine Thomp- son, principal of the upper grades, DONNA DRAPER IPres. Secxj M. N. THISTED fDean of Menj I231 and Bessie Cooper, principal of the lower grades. In these offices there are employed each year a number of students who do a great deal I of the routine work. In the office of the reg- istrar, Hildreth Lovell is an im- portant clerk. She is assisted by H el e n Hed g - c o c k, W h J spends a part of her time in the oifice of the Dean. Mrs. Helen Graham is practically a full time secretary to the director of the training school, R.R. Simpkins.. Several students have assisted Miss Grote in the dean of women's oiiice this year. h O.

The department came to this posi- tion through a process of development which com- menced several years after the school Was founded. President Alfred E. Bayliss organized the depart- ment of Education and Training in 1906, calling the eminent Frederick G. Bonsor as department head. Mr. Bonsor resigned in 1909, and Was succeed- ed by John E. McGilvrey. Mr. McGilvrey, after a short tenure resigned and W. P. Morgan took up his duties. Mr. Morgan was promoted to the presi- dency in June, 1912, and R. R. Simpkins, at present head of the department, Was secured to assume the directorship of the Training and Education Depart- ment. Today Mr. Simpkins is one of the select circle of twenty-year teachers at Western, and in the eyes of his many students embodies to a great degree the high ideals which he has so constantly advocated. A very capable group of teachers have served in the department and today the Education De- partment Faculty comprises one of the most com- petent groups in the entire faculty organization. Mr. Van Cleve came to Western as Director of the extension Work in 1912. More recently he has re- tired 'from the strenuous duties of extension Work and has been teaching regularly in the department. His place has been filled by George W. Gaylor, who came to Western in 1923. KAPPA DELTA PI E241 i I- l Education Dwight L. Bailey came to Western in 1928, and has had charge of all rural school activities within the extension department. Julian L. Archer is the third member of the department. Western's two deans, Moses N. Thisted, and Caroline M. Grote, are associated with the staff, al- though their work in the department is naturally curtailed by the duties of their deanship. Miss Grote is the senior member of the department, hav- ing come to Western in 1906. Ethel Ray and Ros- coe G. Linder are other valuable members of the staff. Alpha Epsilon Chapter of Kappa Delta Pi is an honorary educational fraternity, organized within the department in 1925, with Charles Ingalls as President. Officers this year are: President, Gran- ville Blythe, Vice-President, Lera Burgessg Sec- retary-Treasurer, Helen Grahamg Historian, Ralph Kirkpatrickg Reporter, Mary Crabillg and Coun- selor, Mr. R. R. Simpkins. The organization fur- nishes the greatest incentive for scholastic attain- ment, offering each year an award to a student in the Junior and Senior College who has gained the greatest degree of pronciency. The Rural Club is the other departmental or- ganization, Mr. Bailey being the faculty advisor. The nearly one hundred members enjoy two meet- ings monthly, and have for their chief project for the year, the conducting of the Rural Progress Day. The culmination of their social events is the party given by Mr. and Mrs. Bailey. v THE RURAL CLUB ARCHER BAILEY GAYLOR RAY OFFICERS OF RURAL CLUB President CORNELIA POPPY Vice-President HELEN WILLIAMSON Secretary SUSAN TAYLOR Treasurer GLENN BROWNING Membership Committee FRANCES BYWATER, Chairman Program Committee DOROTHY KINSER, Chairman Social Committee ZILPHA ECKLUND, Chairman E251 GARWOOD MYERS SCHORY VAWTER PLATONIANS Elizabeth Barron Harriet Birdsall jane Bridges Alcia Brown Carol Brown Harriette Cason Joyce Clark Anna Coats Ina Cox Grace Dodds Mildred Dye Gretchen Eichelsdoerfer Florence Everett Lois Gentle Jean Hedman Mary Hofferbert Ida Louise Jenkins Evelyn Leigh Dorris Lindsay Lucille McClelland Pauline Mathias Merle Medhurst Rose Mary Moore Charles Mullin Helen Norton Frances Oldknow Elvira Sargent Dorothy Schoemaker Annabel Soper Dorothy Stickle Myrna Stotts Inez Talkemeyer Harry Todd Leona Tuttle Francis Wells Eleanor Zeis English The English department was organized when the school opened in 1902. Samuel B. Hursh Was the first, and at that time the only teacher. Dur- ing the first few years English classes assembled in the room now used by Dean Currens and the exam- iner and recorders. Later when the Library was placed in this room, the English classes met on the third floor, in the room now used by Dr. Garwood, who came to Western as department head in 1921. Gther than the Department of Education there are more students who major in English than in any other subject. The public speaking work is conducted Within the department, with Harold F. Schory as director of all public speaking and dramatic activities. Mr. Schory is coach of the men's debate teams, and Women's debate teams, When such are organized, and also is sponsor of the Green Door. The Work in journalism is handled Within the department. Bessie Myers teaches the classes in journalism and is the faculty advisor for the Western Courier, the college's Weekly newspaper. Miss Mabel L. Corbin is the senior member of the English faculty, coming to Western in 1910. Gladys O. Vawter has been a teacher in the depart- ment since 1923, with several terms devoted to ad- vanced Work at the University. Isabel Hoover be- DR. AND MRS. GARWOOD E261 English came a member of the department in 1925, taking charge of the practice teaching division of the de- partment and directing the Academy classes. Ruth Zenor, who teaches the lower class college work, came to Western in 1930. Miss Zenor is also in charge of the Academy dramatics. The Emersonian and Platonian Literary So- cieties first appeared at Western in the opening year, 1902. After serving a valuable purpose for a great many years, these groups were permitted to die a natural death during the war decade. It was not until Dr. Garwood reorganized the department that the old literary societies were recalled to life. At present they meet fortnightly, with the clubs presenting programs alternately, on such subjects as Mid-Western writers, literature and music, and original work. The social life of the club has been enriched by the hospitality of Dr. and Mrs. Gar- wood. Mrs. Garwood has endeared herself to the host of students who have been guests in the home and in the delightful Forest of Arden. The work of the literary societies reached a climax this year in the annual literary contest, held on March 28, and won by the Emersonian group. The Emersonians have been so fortunate, since the reorganization of the society eleven years ago by Dr. Garwood, as to have been nine times the winners of the contest.

Burns was made head of the new department. In 1906 O. M. Dickerson came to the head of the History Department for eight years. Alfred Strome followed Professor Dickerson as head of the History School. Upon Mr. Strome's untimely death W. L. Schuppert came to Western. In 1919 H. C. Seal came to as- sist in the History Department. Mr. McAllister came in 1929, and Miss Howard came in 1932. Miss Watters has been in charge of the history practice teaching, and has taught history in the Academy for the last two years. The first history club was organized in 1925 in order to encourage interest and familiarity in the events of the day. There have been some interest- ing programs this year, Which have consisted of ad- dresses by outside speakers, debates, short plays and dramatizations of historic interest. The club is ex- tremely proud of some of its past presidents who have made good in the Held. Among these past executives are George O. Main, Superintendent of Schools at Williamsville, Illinois, Dr. Harry New- burn, Principal of the U. High School of Iowa, and also Bernard Landuyt, who is now teaching in the Philippine Islands. The present club offi- cers are: President, Joe Hoffman, Vice-President, Donald Metzger, Secretary-Treasurer, Susan Shepherd. 31 I 1 Music During the first five years after the school was organized Winefred Swartz taught, and was in charge of, all of the music of the school. At the time of her appointment the school was without any equipment, not having even a piano. The liter- ary societies purchased two Haines pianos, which were used by students in general, and 'later became common property of the school. In 1906 Maud Shamel was selected by President Bayliss to organize a department of music and assume charge of its activities. Miss Shamel retired in 1914 and the executive work in the department was handled by a number of capable persons between 1914 and 1921, at which time Theresa Wild came to Western as head of the music department. In the same year Edith Dallam, who had been in charge of instru- mental music since 1914, retired and was replaced by Karl Crilly, present instructor of instrumental music. Clel Silvey became associated with the de- partment in 1930. Bernice Winchester has been instructor of violin since 1931. Numerous student activities have been con- ducted since the early existence of the school, under the direction of the instructors of music. In 1905 the first chorus was organized, and presented a con- cert, it being the first event to take place in the new auditorium. Miss Shamel organized the first orchestra. Miss Wild organized and directs the MacDowell Glee Club. Mr. Silvey assumed charge of the men's vocal work and is at present director of the Men's Glee Club.

Lemon Wesley Iftner Chemistry The Department of Chemistry Was an out- growth of the old physical science department, one of the original schools of the college. John P. Drake Was in charge of physical sciences from the .beginning of the school till 1914. A year later F. H. Currens came to Western to head a Depart- ment of Chemistry, a position which he still holds. iDr. Currens Was head of the physics department for a number of years after he came to Western. Dr. Currens was unassisted in the chemistry section at first, but in 1922 Wilber Greer Was an assistant Tin the department. In 1928 Paul Neureiter came 1 from Austria to teach at Western. The same year l Waldo Horrabin, a former Western student, also ,became associated with the chemistry department. The department continued to grow, and in 1932 1 C. W. Bennett also became a member of the chem- iistry faculty. ' l In 1928 the Chemistry Club was organized by a group of students, many of them chemistry ma- 1 jors, and others, in many cases not in the depart- ment at all, who were interested in the field. Dr. Currens was the club sponsor, and since that time T . . . the club has grown untll today lt IS one of the Hargest groups on the campus. Meetings are held itwice monthly, the time being devoted to experi- lments and addresses upon the most recent develop- iments in the study of chemistry. The club has Tpresented an assembly program annually, an ac- icount of which would comprise an interesting lstudy in itself. i THE CHEMISTRY CLUB 1 U91 1 Art and Industry Hundreds of students have been made curious by the presence of the very artistic brackets found in Room 34 in the main building. Their location is quickly understood when it isnlearned that the art department occupied that section of the third floor from 1902 till 1918. S. L. Smith was the first art instructor, and was replaced by Jessie Buckner in 1907. Miss Buckner passed away suddenly in the fall of 1925 . Alberta E. Strome Was made act- ing head of the department until Theodora Pottle was made head of the department in 1928. Mrs. Strome continued to be assistant in the department. Manual arts were introduced at Western Illi- nois State Normal School a year after the organiza-H tion in 1903. Lewis H. Burch was in charge of the first classes in this department. The work shop was located in the basement of the main building and the equipment consisted of twelve benches and a few general shop tools. In 1907 a wood lathe was added to the equipment, and although the room was wired to afford the workers light and power, heat was not secured for that section of the build- ing for several years. Mr. Burch retired in 1911 and was followed by Charles E. White, E. A. Fran- quemont, Daniel Green, and Wayne Wetzel, who has been head of the department since 1918. Mr. ,Wetzel had been an assistant prior to his appoint- ment as head, in a position now held by Raymond Miller, who has charge of the school printing shop. With the completion of the arts building in 1918 these departments were moved into their new quar- tCI'S.

In 1906 the University of Illinois established an agricultural experiment sta- tion on the campus under the school's direction. Professor John T. johnson organized the first course of study for the Biological Science Depart- ment. In the earlier history of this department there were several men. Charles Finley taught in this department from 1912 till 1917. Clyde Hudelson was at Western from 1914 till 1919. In 1917 H. D. Waggoner came to Western as in- structor in the Biological Science Department. When this department was divided the next year he became head of the -Biology Department, and Mr. Cleveland was called to Western as head of the new ldepartment. Mr. Oathout is the present head of the Agriculture Department, and has assisted in making this department fully recognized and a very influential school of the college. The majors in this department have helped a great deal in land- scaping the campus. 3 Although in past years clubs have been organ- ized in each department, this year neither of them became active. The interests of the persons eligible for these organizations have been absorbed in the Geography,Club,. Rural Club and other student groups. ' Dr. Waggoner and Dr. Oathout were spon- sors of the organizations in their respective de- partments when they were active. A I CUT-LEAF BIRCHES 1 . ,, 1 1321 Physics and Mathematics That W. I. S. N. S. was little superior to a high school at the time of its beginning, is evidenced by the fact that mathematics was taught for a number of years under the title of arithmetic. E. S. Wil- kinson was the iirst teacher of arithmetic at West- ern, coming in 1902 and remaining until 1906. President Bayliss secured David L. Arnold to teach the exact science. Mr. Arnold taught until 1909, when his retirement brought R. M. Ginnings to the school as department head. For a number of years Mr. Ginnings was the only teacher in the depart- ment. But with the increasing demand for the subject in 1913, it became necessary to have an assistant in the department, accordingly James Kirk was employed in that capacity from 1913 till 1920. Earl Roberts assisted in the department in 1920 till 1926. Ruth Shriver became teacher of the Academy classes, and the supervisor of practice teachers in 1923, the position which she still holds. Edwin W. Schreiber became an assistant in the de- partment in 1929, and today is associated with the faculty in that capacity. The Physics Department, with W. H. Eller as department head, was an outgrowth from the physical sciences and later from the department of chemistry and physics. Mr. Eller became de- partment head in 1920. He is sponsor of the Physics Club, an organization composed of depart- ment majors and others interested in the science. Mr. Eller also finds time to direct the school band.

Maguire Genevieve Nester Dorothy Ponte Martha Purdum Helen Sherman Marjorie Tink Patricia Wyne French French was the last of the foreign languages to be added to the curriculum, being inserted in the schedule of classes in 1909. Belinda Olson came to the school as the first teacher of this subject. Miss Olson holds the distinction, along with a very few other faculty members, of having been head of the department since its organization. Miss Olson also taught history and German during the first years of her tenure. German was dropped from the college curriculum as the feeling became more intense during the World War. The subject has never been added to the schedule since. Miss Olson, in addition to her regular training has spent one year living in France and made sev- eral other trips to Europe during her long term of teaching at Western. Her unusual preparation, zest for her Work, and endearing personality, have brought scores of additional students to her classes, Who did not come to the school intending to in- clude French among the studies. Le Cercle Fran- cais has enabled Miss Olson to greatly extend her influence among her students. It has long been .1 desire of Miss Olson to have her students speak French as readily as their mother tongue. Accord- ingly, conversation in the club meetings is carried on in French., A number of the club gatherings are devoted to social meetings. The club has in past years appeared before the student body and faculty in a program at one of the weekly assm- blies. FRENCH CLUB RECEPTION l34'l Latin 4 Latin and German commanded the full time attention of one of the original nine faculty mem- bers, F. J. Fairbanks coming to the Normal as the :first instructor of these languages. Mr. Fairbanks retired in 1906 and his place was taken by Martha J. Hanna, who held the position till 1913. Several persons taught in the Latin Department from 1913 till 1927, but by far the most of the Work was handled by C. Burns, Who divided his time be- tween history and Latin. Mr. Burns was Without question one of the most outstanding teachers who have ever been connected with the Western faculty. In 1927 Ruth Carson came to Western to take charge of the teaching of Latin, not only in the col- lege, but in the Academy as Well. In 1929 Frances Davis was employed to assist Dr. Carson in the Academy Work and the supervision of practice teachers. Miss Carson plans to spend the coming summer studying in Europe. A year after Miss Carson came to Western, the Latin club, Senatus Populusque Romanus, was founded. Carol Conelly was the first student head of the organization. The officers this year are: Consul, Fern Smith, Praetor, Elizabeth Boyle, Quaestor, Dorothy Bacon, Censor, Inez Talke- meyer, Aediles, Margaret Bartlett, Irene Cofield, and Zilpha Ecklund, commissioners, Elizabeth Martin, Ruby Kjellander, and Annette Gioannini. Dr. Carson has been advisor for, and maintained an intense interest in, the club, since its founding.

Stevens Susan Taylor Mildred Temple Mary Ellen Walter Lois Zachan Ruth Campbell Helen Lundquist Marian Brissman Alice Campbell Geography W. J. Southerland, teacher of Geography and associated subjects, was one of the charter members of the Normal school faculty, remaining in his position here until 1908. In 1908 Herbert Bassett came to Western to take charge of Mr. Souther- land's Work. Mr. Bassett remained at the head of the Department of Geography until the time of his sudden death in 1927. Mr. Bassett collapsed in his morning class in the fall of that year. Claude Hesh, an assistant in the department, took charge of the executive Work for a year until A. G. Tillman was secured in 1928. Dr. Tillman has held the posi- tion continually since that time. Mr. Hesh con- tinues as an assistant in the department. The Geography Club was founded in 1927, the last year of Mr. Bassett,s tenure. The activities of the club during the seven years of its existence have been numerous and various. In recent years annual tours of Mark Twain's Cave and other places of interest have been conducted under the direction of Dr. Tillman. Meetings are held twice a month and each term one meeting is devoted to a social function. The last meeting of the year Was held in the basement of the Hoover cafe, Monday, May 16. Cflicers for the club this year Were: President, Willard Lochrang Vice-President, Don Metzger, Secretary-Treasurer, Mildred Templeg Social and Program Chairman, Blanche Huffordg club sponsors, Dr. A. G. Tillman and Mr. Hesh. E561 Home Economics In 1906 President Bayliss organized the De- partment of Household Science, with Miss Eva Colby in charge. Miss Colby has held the position continually since that time and is the senior de- partment head of the faculty. Before the arts building was built the home economic department was quartered in the present agriculture room on the first floor of the main building. The room was divided by screens, the east section became the food laboratory and the west end of the room was a dining room. Part of this room was equipped for a sewing room. In 1918 the department was moved into the fourth floor of the new arts build- ing. Miss Bonham has her sewing room on the second floor. The Home Economics Club was organized in 1916 and each year the enrollment has rapidly in- creased. The object of the club is to train the members to be active and efficient leaders in home and community life and to increase interest in problems pertaining to the home. The club gave a delightful breakfast this year for the Homecom- ers. The club assisted Miss Colby in sponsoring the home economics activity day program Saturday, May 12. Eleven high schools sent delegations to the event. A dinner was served in the department rooms at noon. The schools each presented an original playlet, judged by Miss Sophia Reed, for- mer assistant in the department, and Miss Colby presented the winners with suitable awards after the contests were over in the evening.

At that time O. L. Champion, a former graduate of the Normal school, Who had been teaching in Kewanee High School, came to Western as head of the Depart- ment of Commerce and Penmanship. Mr. Cham- pion held this position until 1920, When he retired to become registrar of the school. Clyde Beighey was secured as head of the commercial department in 1920. In 1926 Mr. Beighey left to attend the university. A. Kirby then became head of the Department of Commerce here. Mr. Kirby retired in 1928, and Mr. Thompson served as department head for a year. In 1930 Mr. Beighey returned to- Western and has been in charge of the commercial section of the college since that time. Hattie Voss came as an assistant in the department in 1923. She is also the chief recorder in the business oflice of the college. Ethel Richards has been an assistant in the department since 1931. Miss Richards has charge of the Academy Work and the practice I teachers. She is assisted by Velna Sollars. Miss Sollars also served as a recorder in the business oHice. A THE COMMERCIAL CLUB I ssl Library Since the building of the new gymnasium the library at Western has moved into commodious quarters somewhat in keeping with its importance in the institution. A feature of the library depart- ment are classes in library economy, in which stu- dents begin the training which is carried on later by practical experience in the library. The library personnel is made up of Miss Jackson, the efficient head of the department, Miss McCain, who is in charge of the stack room reserve and magazine service, and Miss McEvena, who is doing a valuable service in introducing the library to the training school service. As many of the present students remember, the library formerly occupied the student lounge, and the room adjacent, now occupied by the biology department. At the opening of the school Margaret Dunbar was selected by the trustees to assume the great responsibility of a library for the new Normal school. Her gracious personality, cultured mind, and equipment for her profession enabled her to develop a high degree of efficiency in the library work of the new institution. In those early years she was ably assisted by Fanny Jackson, who later assumed the direction of the department and has carried the work on to a high degree of perfection. .

S. EMPLOYES Pauline Talbot Joyce Reed Lucille Leighty CHARLES HIGGS Senior Presidcrzt GEORGE HAVER Vice-President CLASS OFFICERS . Scheming and conniving reached the climax on the campus shortly after noon, on Wednesday, Sept. 27, 1933, with the annual election of officers in each of the college and academy classes. As usual there was the current murmur that the Bach- elor Klub and Diana Klub had too long controlled the class oflicers, that we were not going to have a Glee Club man for senior president, and that it was high time to give the matter of election back to the com- mon people. 5 Apparently that is just what hap- pened in the Senior Class, where Charles Higgs, outstanding athlete and former Trivoli High School stu- dent, was elected to the position of honor. George Haver, soloist, whose ANDERS LOY home is in Kewanee, was elected vice president. Arthur Loy of Good Hope was elected secretary, and Maxine Anders of Ma- comb as treasurer. New members elected to the stu- dent council were Maxine Mil- ler, James Jackson, and Paul- ine Anderson. Berwyn Rob- inson was selected as Senior member of the Student Ac- tivity Board. The Athletic Board of Control representa- tives were Margaret Rainey and Errett Links. Max Mur- phy was appointed on the Homecoming committee. While political warfare was some- what more muffled in the ranks of the Juniors, nevertheless, a meeting was held in Mr. Schory,s room, of-- Hcers were elected, and a good time was had by all. Maurice Roark, who came to Western from Ma- WENDELL SIMPSON MARTHA -I 4 Freshman Pres. Secretary-Treasurer r w w w i401 comb, by Way of Notre Dame, proved to be the Junior's, choice for president. james Bailey of Orion was chosen to act as vice president. The combined oihces of secretary and JUNIOR oFF1cERs MAURICE Roman treasurer were put in care p,,,.i,1e,,,f of Luellan Bowles of Ma- JAMES BAILEY comb. John Oathout, Vive-Pfefiflwf Lawrence Laeding, Helen LUELLAN BOWLES Mc Cutchion Hulson, and Sfffffdfy-Tffmfff Katherine Dunsworth Were elected to serve as members of the student council. John was later chosen to act as president of that group. Maxine Sears and Orville Day were chosen as representatives on the Athletic Board of Control. The Student Activity Board mem- ber was Earl Faris. Robert Dinsmore and Wright Phillips were selected for the dance committee members. The Four A Non-Macomb Presi- dent party, in the Sophomore Class, perhaps didn't take the day quite like Sherman took Atlanta, but they SOPHOMORE OFFICERS ROBERT BRICKER-President RUTH ANN BARCLAY Vice-President EMMA KUEHNE Secretary-Treasurer l 4 must have taken it considerably in the same way Sherman would have taken Bushnell. Anyway, Robert Bricker of Bushnell, was elected president. The procedure in electing the remaining officers seemed to bore everyone as the meeting Wore on, ex- cept advisor Garwood, and he Was bored before the meeting started. In short order Ruthanne Barclay of Ma- comb Was elected vice president. The secretary-treasurer's office was pre- sented to Emma Kuelne of Aurora. Student Council members elected were Vere Dawson, Sara Beth Helf- rich, Tom Pace and Alma King. Alma Was a member of that group the year before. The Athletic board representatives chosen Were joe Oit- ker and Geneva Mathis. Betty Bob- bitt and Lyndell Welhourne were elected to serve on the dance com- mittee. I The Freshmen, Western students of seven day standing, and entirely unschooled in .the way of the big bad college, timidly entered the aud- itorium and pondered the question of the class election. Macomb High School Legions united behind Paul Volker, who was, after due cere- mony, elected president. At the end of the fall quarter President Volker transferred from theicollege to the school of experience and the ad- ministration of the class affairs was left in the hands of Wendell Cookie to you, Simpson. Martha Smith of Keithsburg was chosen secretary- treasurerof the group. The student activity board member chosen was Ruby Kjellander. The athletic board of control had Pauline Davis and Lowell Gray as its members from this class. John Stocker and Girda Wainright were elected, as members of the dance committee. Harold Lorton, Jack Phillips, Doris Bentley, Luella Crabb and Patricia Wyne, were elected on the Homecoming committee. Student council mem- bers from the freshmen class are Louise Grigsby, John Means, Harold Nixon, and Sarah Katherine Miller. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1930 there came to Western, a group of freshmen--one of the largest groups in the history of the school. They' elected James Currens as president, Gerald Ham- mond as vice-president and Sue Hermetet as secretary and treasurer. They were quite active. Among their accomplishments was a fresh- man issue of the Courier, a freshman party and the Freshman Frolicy Since the last year in which a cer- tificate could be acquired by one year's work was 1931, a large num- ber of the class were teaching when school opened in the fall of 1931. Out of four hundred and sixty-one Freshmen only two hundred thirty- one were back to carry on. In spite of this, the Homecoming Dance sponsored by the Sophomores was attended by the largest crowd ever. A skating party was held which the Sophs enjoyed very much. The Sophomore Cotillion with Mary Sul- livan as Sophomore Queen was the big event of the year. Granville Blythe was president in 1931-'32, B e r w yn Robinson vice-president, I42l Hildreth Lovell secretary, and Ger- ald Hammond treasurer. As Juniors, the class sponsored the Junior Prom. The skating party was still the favorite entertainment as was shown by the large number of Juniors who attended this affair. The class elected Berwyn Robinson presi- dent, Charles Higgs, vice-president, Russell Vail, treasurer, and Margery Mathis, secretary.. s The Seniors had the usual duties. They elected Charles Higgs, presi- dentg Arthur Loy, secretary, and Maxine Anders, treasurer. The Jun- iors and Seniors sponsored a dance together in the spring. Many mem- bers were active in extra-curricular organizations. Art Justus, Charles Higgs, Berwyn Robinson, Cecil Doyle, and Tom Short distinguished themselves in football. Tom Short and Charles Higgs were also basket- ball lettermen. James Jackson was outstanding in dramatics. Richard Crabb and Ralph Kirkpatrick were star debaters. Elma Cordell, editor of the Courier, did some very fine work. PAULINE ANDERSON Macomb, Illinois BERWYN M.

Perhaps the greatest single service of a yearbook, in after years, is to en- able the reader to determine Wheth- er or not John so-and-so or Mary what-was-her-name was in school during the year in question.

Whispers and rumors passed among the students, and some- times a hearty guffaw brought welcome relief from the excitement. Only a few maintained an outward calm. Finally, the room became expectantly quiet as the faculty advisor en- tered and called the Hrst class meeting of the year to order. Nominations, voting, joy, and disappointment kept the excitement high, but after the smoke of battle had cleared away it was found that the new class presidents were Paul Volker, Freshman, Bob Bricker, Sophomore, Maurice Roark, Junior, and Charles Higgs, Senior. SEPTEMBER 28, 1933- The flag is out, today is Courier day. All of the Fresh- men did not pay some wily Soph for the initial copy of the Courier, but the ones who did must have felt well repaid, for the school paper was full of news. The most interesting facts were that the college proper had broken all enrollment records by over 10 per cent with a registration of 975 and that two new faculty members, Miss Blegan and Miss Brown, had been secured. QCTOBER 20, 21, 193 3-Homecoming! A time of excitement and joy for the undergraduates, a period for faculty mem- bers to survey their former proteges with prideg a brief moment for renewing old asso- ciations for the returning grads. The latter snatched moments for greeting former chums between the dizzy whirl of scheduled events that began with the Assembly Friday morn- ing and continued through two concerts by Kryl's Band, the student vaudeville program, the parade, the Western-Shurtleff football game, and innumerable club ' reunions to a fitting close Saturday night with the Home- coming Dance, featuring Herbie Kay and his orchestra. Despite the efforts of Old Man Weather to dampen the spirits, large crowds attended all of the activities, including the football game, which was won by Western 7-6 when Faris recovered a blocked punt back of the invaders' goal and Doyle kicked for the point. OCTOBER 27, 193 3-Spooks, ghosts, and goblins dominated the situation for one night as the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A.'s offi- cially recognized Hallowe'en. Refreshments were served by the two organizations, and prizes were awarded for the best costumes to Martha Hillyer, Julia Emma McCall, Vera Shores, Robert Sharp, and Collins Clause. NOVEMBER 4, 1933-The number of honorary fraternities at Western was increased to three when a chapter of Pi Omega Pi, the national honorary fraternity for teachers of commercial education, was installed. The new Omega Chapter, which was secured largely through the efforts of Dr. Beighey, is the twenty-fourth one in the United States. l7ll as X OVEMBER 16,1933- s.

For almost two hours the affairs NOVEMBER 28, 1933 -The curtain lifted at 8:15 revealing a symphony of black and white. The arms of the director were raised, the piano sounded the chord, and the annual Thanksgiving Concert of the Glee Club was underway. The audience was well pleased both by the appearance of the members in their tuxedos and with the wide variety of musical selections. The club has increased both in number and in quality of Betty Bobbitt kept the remainder of the cast in hot water and the audience in an uproar of laughter.

DECEMBER 5, 1 9 3 3 - Only twenty-four more weeks of school, commented one Freshman as the Fall Quarter reached its conclusion after a dizzying round of final tests. Most of the students seemed glad of the oppor- tunity to start the new quarter. Some felt relieved that the first twelve weeks were over, while others were worrying journalists in the placid waters of Lake Ruth. A good time was evidently had by all except the scribe, but the ultimate eEect of the escapade upon the reputation of the school has not been determined. NOVEMBER 21, 1933- P0int! Set! and Match! The first annual fall tennis tournament was concluded when Richard Crabb, a Senior, defeated Ted Means in the finals. Previously Crabb and John Means had won the doubles championship from Wells and Murphy. NOVEMBER 27, 193 3-Another inno- vation in intramural athletics ended when the King's Hashers defeated White's Warriors in the final game of the playoff series for the championship of the pre-season basketball league. Twelve teams of college students were evenly divided into two leagues, the American and the National, and champions were selected. Then the two league winners clashed for the champion- ship in a two-game series with the King's Hashers, led by Woods and Robbins, win- ning both games. about their grades for that period. However, there were a few genuine tragedies connected with the conclusion of the term because the low ebb of economic conditions caused it to be the last day at Western for a large number. DECEMBER 10, 1933-Lovers of sacred music had their night when the church choirs and Christmas Chorus from Western presented a concert. The high point of the program came When the more than one hun- dred and fifty voices combined to sing the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's opera, The Messiah. DECEMBER 12, 1933-Should we follow the road of economic nationalism? In a debate on this subject in assembly, Dr. Neureiter gave an emphatic yes, while Dr. Decker just as emphatically said uno. Throughout the major portion of the period these two faculty members debated this ques- tion, and although they aroused the think- ing of a number of the students, they failed to solve the problem either affirmatively or negatively. i721 ECEM , - my ,Ll BER 12 1933 J ef' IN JNL A NWN ii f7'f'r rbi ' Y- 5'- S' I La wrt ff zqwf. -Q I6 .

This dra- matic finish to the first basketball game of the season gave Western fans a hint of the exciting games to follow. However, all of them did not end so fortunately for the Leathernecks.

This year it was the Good Shepherd that the Green Door under the direction of Mr. Schory, the music department under the leadership of Mr. Silvey, and the art depart- ment under the direction of Mrs. Strome, and the faculty and student body in general combined to produce. Three capacity crowds in the auditorium were captivated by the dignity, the spiritual signiicance, the beauty of the lighting, the costuming, and the staging. As Western students, our out- standing hope is that Mr. Schory and his aides will continue to produce these dramas and that we shall be able to attend. DECEMBER 27-31, 1933 - Washing- ton, I am here. John Oathout, the president of the Western Student Council, represented that organization at the annual meeting of the National Student Federation of America held at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D. C. Lectures, discussion groups, sightseeing, and dances occupied the time of the representatives of the one- hundred and Hfty colleges that hold active membership in the organization. ANUARY 8, 1934--There is always joy at Western when its teams beat Carth- age, but that happiness is doubly great when the victory also ties the school for first place in the Little Nineteen. At Carthage, Laeding, Short, and the other members of the team routed their old enemies 41-27 and went into a tie with DeKalb for the confer- ence leadership. AN UARY 1 2 , 19 3 4 -- Let's give the fight yell, and make it big. In response to that plea, the two new pep clubs at Western did give the fight yell and they made it big. Inspired by the best cheering in the history of the school, Western trimmed the strong North Central team 42-22. After the game over three hundred students participated in a victory dance in -Betty Fowler. the gymnasium. ANUARY 25, 1934- Love Saves the Lives of Eighteen Girls from Fire - headline in Courier. To this curious head someone commented that he bet love had saved more lives than that. However, the affair really had its serious side, for the quick action of Fire Chief Sylvan Love and Willis Venters probably averted a seri- ous catastrophe. ANUARY 25, 1934-This issue of the Courier also contained a feature story on Maurice McGehee who, during Christmas Vacation, received a four-year scholarship to the University of New York by win- ning first place over thirteen other contest- ants in a contest held at the Palace Theatre in New York City. ANUARY 30, 1934-It was crippled children first at the President's Ball held in the Morgan Gymnasium as a part of a na- tionwide movement designed to raise funds for the Warm Springs Foundation. After an appropriate introductory program, a large number of light-fantastic trippers from both the city and the college danced to the music of Joe Chromis. I l73I x '7'f71't m ,M ANUARY 23, 1934-The auditorium filled with talking students, towns- people, and persons at the conference of county superintendents. The speaker of the even- ing, Dr. Kirtley Mather of Harvard University, was introduced, and the crowd became silent. That they re- mained perfectly silent throughout the lec- ture on The Challenge of the Teacher in an Age of Science, Ideas, and Ideals was proof of the merit of the speaker and an indica- tion of the success of the first evening num- ber on the lyceum program. ANUARY 23-24, 1934--Western had the pleasure of being host to State Superin- tendent of Public Instruction, Francis G. Blair, and to twenty-five other educators who assembled for a conference on educa- tional problems. In addition to talks and discussions the group was entertained by Western with a banquet in Monroe Hall and with Dr. Mather's lecture. 'ANUARY 31-FEBRUARY 2, 1934- They're off again. On the former ate sixty members of the Men's Glee Club started on their fifth annual tour into Pike County.

A., announced that his organization would sponsor part time jobs for college students. Although technicali- ties prevented the actual beginning of this work for over a month, many students were enabled to stay in school through its aid. F EBRUARY 3-4, 1934 - Western was represented at the state Y. M. C. A. conference at Peoria by five members of the local organization. The inspiring lectures by Dr. Harry Overstreet of New York City were special features of the convention. Western's representatives were Virgil Bolen, Wayne Thompson, Harold R'gins, Maurice Peterson, and Robert Wilson. FEBRUARY 7, 1934-The city cham- pionship for the Academy and the lead in the Little Nineteen for the college in the same night! Early in the evening the great Academy quintet almost massacred the team from Macomb High in a 33-18 victory. E741 Earlier in the year they had won on Ma- comb's floor by a 27-26 score. The same night Illinois Wesleyan lost to Eureka, and Western slipped into irst place in the Little Nineteen. 3 EBRUARY 13, 1934-- Mr. Chairman, F ladies, and gentlemen. With these words the conference debate schedule was opened for 1934. After a struggle of an hour and a quarter Shurtleff hoisted the white flag and surrendered unconditionally to the Western negative team, composed of Wayne Thompson and Richard Crabb. FEBRUARY 14, 1934-A beautiful love drama set in romantic Japan was pre- sented by the Green Door. Madame But- terfly,', one of the most famous of the oper- atic dramas, stirred the emotions of a large audience. Ruth Currens, Vere Dawson, Garth Bell, and the other members of the cast performed admirably, under the direc- tion of John Fuhr. The general activities of the Green Door are supervised by Mr. Schory. F E B R U A R Y 18, 1934- Look! It's snowing! Ordinarily snow on the eighteenth of February would cause little excitement, but this year it was different for this was the first snow of the winter. Sleds, snowploughs, and cameras came very much into evidence with this long delayed event. F E B R U A R Y 22, 1934 - Einstein, Gandhi, and Jane Addams-the trinity of light, and Zulauf, Mussolini, and Hitler --the trinity of evil-those are the great personalities of this age. After conclud- ing his lecture, Dr. Abram Sachar of the University of Illinois, proved his wit and versatility by answering the various ques- tions asked by the members of the audience. Some of the questions were purely specula- tive while others were of real value, but Dr. Sachar gave courteous attention to all that could be answered. F EBRUARY 27, 1 9 3 4-Many Western students listened carefully to their radios for news of the progress of Bud Zerkle, a Freshman, in the Enal series of the Golden Gloves tournament. Bud won the cham- pionship of the Quincy district and his first fight at Chicago, but lost a decision in his second battle there. Over two hundred stu- dents sent a telegram to him the night of the combat.

Since both of the local debaters are tennis enthus- iasts, they were overjoyed when they learned that Bill Tilden and his tennis cohorts were playing in St. Louis that evening. The big event took place in the St. Louis Arena. Vines defeated Plaa, French ace, and Tilden took the measure of Cochet in a bril- liant duel. Although defeated, Cochet's over- head smashes were a feature of the evening's play. QYQNFI 1 thermal aiu 'QA 14:13, I ARCH 1 3 1 9 3 4 a what was that lecture about?

Thus far the Academy has won nine of ten scheduled de- bates, while the Training School basketball team had won four victories in five starts.

Mr. Hanson ad- dressed the meeting on the topic, Ethics of Coaching. It is reported that next year the primary object of the game will still be to toss an inflated sphere through a metal hoop. MARCH 28, 1934- Give me liberty, or give me death. The state oratori- cal contest was held in the auditorium, and for the second consecutive year Western won the championship. Wayne Thompson was the victor in extempore speaking, Eunice Erickson secured the highest laurels in dec- lamation, and John Fuhr in the third division of the contest, oratory, finished second.

M A R C H 29, 1934 - The last chance to hear the 1934 edition of the Western Men's Glee Club had come and gone. The crowd was wending its way from the auditorium. Well, it seems that the concerts improve every time that I at- tend, commented one person. Yes, I always think that the next one cannot pos- sibly be as fine as the one that I have just heard, a second per- son agreed. It's too bad that Haver and Valentine graduate, said a third. They'll be hard to replace as soloists. Just then two more persons came within hearing. I was sorry that they didn't present a skit this time, lamented the first. Yes, but you must remember that there were new features. For example, that two-piano number was plenty good. Of course, Brooks and Konken played last fall, too, but that type of thing is new this year. After hearing these two conversations, I joined the streaming throngs, convinced that the spring concert of the Glee Club had been appreciated. il 6 . ..Ln P www 1: Whig A A new 'ml' we 4 W gall AM f, your head, ARCH 31, 1934- Strike one!

Oathout in oratory, Kirk- patrick in extempore, and Thompson and Crabb in debating, accompanied by Mr. Schory, made the trip for the local chapter. Although the West- ern representatives did not win any cups, it is reported that they became dis- tinguished in other ways - Thompson for sleeping at the moviesg Kirkpatrick for attending high- school contests and for sleeping any- where, Oathout for water-throwing and hog-callingg and Crabb for pool play- ing.

THE DEAN Something clean, high and firm, PRIL 13, 1934 A quizzieal glance of real concern. You feel his presence as the nual contest. After the windows had been opened and the dying words had been cleared away, it was found that the Emersonians were victorious for the eighth time since 1924. The winners for the Emers were Sue Jean Hermetet in short story, James Foster in essay, and Wayne Thompson in oration, while the triumphant disciples of Plato were Pauline Mathias in declamation and Leona Tuttle in poetry. APRIL 18, 1934 - Just An Old Spinning Wheel in the Parlor. It was not the parlor in which the renewal of friendly terms be- tween the two divi- sions of the English Club was celebrated but an old inn. The program, which was based upon the Can- terbury Tales, was in keeping with the general atmosphere. ' The Love Feast of the English Club is an established tradi- tion at Western. PRJL 18, 1934 -Western took time out amid the hubbub of spring sports, romances, and poetry, to let the mu- sic lover have his inning when the Philharmonic String Quartet from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra presented a delightful concert in the Auditorium. Although all of the seats in the Auditorium were not filled, the stu- dents present showed by their attention that they greatly enjoyed the musical treat. One of the high spots of the evening, and the number in which perhaps the quartet showed the greatest strength, was the rendition ofa, selection from Beethoven. The String En- semble from Illinois Wesleyan also gave a concert at four o'clock at Western in the month of April. A number by Kreisler, Viennese Caprice received an especially large amount of favorable comment. -Gusto. Indifference. E731 '13 pw PRIL 19-20, 1934- Boys to the right and boys to the left --yes, and a large number of girls, too. The campus was overflowing with young . America during the lat- ter day when the great crowds assembled for Rural Progress Day, an annual event. Three and four children on the same swing and a score of boys play- ing basketball at the same time were not uncommon sights. To go from one build- ing to another became an exciting adventure as one never knew when some youngster heaving through the crowd, would crash headlong into him. Most of the persons at- tending brought their own lunches, and it was a gala day for all. APRIL 20, 1934- They're off! No, not the horses in the Kentucky Derby, but the Western Men's Glee Club. With a roar that caused the students in all of the classrooms on the south side of the building to stretch their necks for a last glimpse, two large buses left from the front entrance of the administration building on a twelve-day tour to Chicago through western and north- ern Illinois. The trip was made for the fourth consecutive year. PRIL 20-30 ,1934-All was quiet on the Western front while the students were home for spring vacation. In contrast with the inactivity of the Westernites was the tremendous activity of old Mother Na- ture, who during the week transformed the campus from a faded winter decoration scheme to a verdant panorama of spring freshness. It is reported that she did an un- usually good job of exterior decorating. PRIL 21, 1934-That a man is never a hero to his family is an old adage. It is also true that people are inclined to over- look nearby historic shrines. The Macomb Extension History 223 class went to War- saw, Illinois, to see the various interesting spots in and near that village. Warsaw is best known in connection with John Hay. PRIL 30, 1934- How are you, Dick? How did you get along this year? The Mid-Spring term opened with the new students for the most part renewing old friendships. For the ones who had been at Western before the day was indeed a happy one with the familiar faces and sights that as 41.

PRIL 30, 1934-It was at the Hotel Lamoine, and the members of Kappa Delta Pi and of the Macomb Philosophy Club had just inished a banquet. The toastmas- ter had just introduced the speaker of the evening, and the guests were making them- selves comfortable for the lecture. Dr. Fairchild, the President of Illinois State Nor- mal University, talked to the two groups on Child Education. The lecture was fol- lowed by a short open forum. MAY 1, 1934- Home, Sweet Home. We don't know whether home seemed sweet to the members of the Men's Glee Club or not, but from the tired look upon the faces of some of the members we sus- pect that it did. After a journey of almost two weeks, during which the organization toured the greater part of northern and western Illinois and reached Chicago, the members returned to Macomb. The club made two broadcasts from major Chicago radio stations in addition to presenting numerous concerts of both the formal and informal types. Each man who went on the tour has his own incidents to recount, but after listening to a few of them you reach one conclusion: that a good time was had by all. MAY S, 1934-Fore! The Western golf team swung into action with a match against Knox at the local country club. Although the local driving and putting artists were beaten by a decisive margin, their play foretold the victories that were to come in the near future. MAY S, 1934-On the tennis courts at Western, high school stars from west- ern Illinois battled all day to determine the championship of this district as a basis for qualification in the state final contests. Al- though both the Academy and Macomb High School were represented, the laurels went to the larger schools with Canton winning the doubles and two boys from Jacksonville qualifying for the state meet in singles. None of the winners from the Military Tract district placed in the state meet two weeks later. All of the honors went to the big city boys from Chicago. Girls' tennis events are not included in the tournament activities. 'Q -' AY 5, 1934 - Fifteen- ln hymn! xii A program!

During the week Western had been host to several thousand high school students who were competing in the state Hnal contests in drama, public speaking, and music. The hotels were Hlled and the housing facilities were taxed to capac- ity, but the contests ran smoothly ac- cording to schedule due to the work of Mr. Schory, the state TEACHER Who racks her brain, And stands the strain, Nor does complain? The Teacher! Who works all clay, On little pay, Without much play? The Teacher! Who springs hig tests, Quite often pests, And seldom rests? The Teacher! -Burdette Kirkpatrick. AY 11, 1934-- Mistah Interlocutor, I don't feel very well tonight. The Western Varsity Club under the direction of John Fuhr presented an old-time Min- strel Show in the Auditorium with the Flying Dutchman, Walter Grebe, as the in- cerlocutor keeping six dusky endmen busy for one hour. The jokes were interspersed by musical selections by the Varsity Quar- tet and by individual members of the club. After the Minstrel Show, a Revue was given by a chorus of ten girls. The cli- max of the evening came when Orville Day, the president of the club, presented the Varsity Queen, Miss Margaret Stock- ker, and her four ladies-in-waiting. MAY 14, 1934- - The last half of the ninth, the score 1-0, the tying run on third, manager of the Illinois State High School Music and Literary Association, and of the secretary, Miss Draegart. Dundee High School Won the Governor's Cup, while Du- quoin had almost a month earlier won irst honors in Illinois High School debating for the second consecutive year. MAY 9-12, 1934 - Add in. The Western tennis team reached new heights when it won four matches in as many days defeating Augustana, Illinois College, and Illinois Wesleyan both at home and abroad. Two of the four victories were shutouts for the local quartet of rac- quet wielders-Wells, Murphy, Yengst, and John Means. MAY 10, 1934- Yo, ho, ho, and a bottle of rum. The ghosts of Cap- tain Kidd and other pirates of old hovered over the stage of the auditorium when the M a c D o w ell Glee Club presented The Pirates of Penzance, an operetta. The pre- sentation was under the direction of Miss l .. the winning marker on second, and only one out -there is the situation in a 'nut- shell.' However, nothing came of West- ern's glorious opportunity to win its first baseball victory of the year and to score its first run on the local field, for one slug- ger whiifed and the next one boisterously tapped the ball almost to the pitcher's box. It was a great ball game, and it was a tough pitcher's duel for Ed Aleshire, the lanky Freshman hurler, to lose. The lone Mon- mouth run came in the eighth. MAY 15, 1934-Many of the students at Western did not know that the college had an orchestra, but during assem- bly they became aware of the fact. Although the students were generous in giving applause to all of the selec- tions, they showed especial appreciation of the work of Miss Vera Shores, piano soloist. She played one encore number, and the stu- dent body cheered for several minutes in demanding a second extra selection. i301 I , C Q 25 Mn 'WO A organize an orchestra in the fall However the Academy did form an nv Q D9 A 15 1934- It Ca1'1't be done many people thought when they heard that the Academy Y fi S3 vhs' at W , 99 K' rw.

Three student teachers-Gene Calhoun, Gladys Mangers, and Madeline Dorsay should be given much of the credit. MAY 18, 1934 -Soft lights, lilting music, and scores of couples swaying rhythmically combined to make the Varsity Klub Dance one of the greatest, if not the greatest, entertainment feature of the year. Maurie Sherman and his internationally famous College Inn orchestra of Chicago furnished the music for the dance, and also proved themselves versatile by playing a classical concert before the dance began. For the affair the sliding doors between the two gymnasiums were opened, and a false ceiling was extended from the extreme corners. At the height of the merriment scores of brightly colored toy balloons were released. MAY 19, 1934- What a combination: a dress suit, a Scotch highland cos- tume, and four rustics! someone was heard to exclaim when he first saw the six Western faculty bachelors-Mr. Seal, Mr. Silvey, Mr. Crilly, Dr. Decker, Dr. Bennett, and Mr. McAllister-standing in the receiving line at the Hotel Lamoine to greet their guests at a clever party. Special features on the program were the May Day ceremonies in which Mr. Silvey acted as the May Pole, Miss Huston's address on Advice to the Lovelorn, and the awarding of an ear of corn to Dr. Waggoner for opening his mouth widest while singing the Iowa Corn Song. Following the program bridge was played. MAY 22, 1934-- Did you finish your French? is a common question after assembly, but it was How did you like the concert? today. Mario Cappelli, famous Italian tenor, gripped the attention of the entire audience while he sang Italian folk songs and other selections after telling some delightful stories connected with the origin or significance of each song. His method of relating the anecdotes proved him a fine dramatic artist as well as a great singer. MAY 22, 1934-That variety is the spice of life is an old saying. If that is true, then the program presented on the evening lecture course was well seasoned, for Frances Homer, a dramatic artist, presented selections ranging from extreme pathos to hilarious humor. MAY 23, 1934- Let's eat! Among the spring rush of banquets was the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. banquet at Sciota. Good food together with an inspiring address by Rev. Loyal Thompson of Monmouth and an excellent concert by Mario Cappelli caused many of the guests to say that it was a night that they would never forget. AY 24, 1934-In the dim light of M three candles the impressive initiation ceremonies of Pi Kappa Delta, national hon- orary forensic society, was r epeated to Everett Pyle and Hartley DeFau. The initia- tion ceremony was held in connection with the annual spring banquet of the Forum. At the informal program following the initiation officers were elected for next year. MAY 24, 1934- Congratulations, I cer- tainly am glad you got that schoolf' When this issue of the Courier added many names to a previous list of those having schools to teach next year, congratulations filled the air. However, there are a number of students still seeking positions, although the placements are far greater in number than they were last year. MAY 24, 1934-The Frosh win again. It has almost become a habit for them to win the first places in the annual literary contest, but the upper classmen were not completely routed as they were last year, when Wayne Thompson with two flrsts and Ford Shryack with one swept the laurels. This time Margaret Wade broke the monop- oly by winning in poetry, but the first- yearers came through in essay when Doris Sowers won and in short story with Doris Griiiiths as the winner. MAY 25, 1934- On with the dance! The Sophomore Prom was held in the Women's Gymnasium with an orchestra from Jacksonville furnishing the entertain- ment. Although off to a none too auspicious a start when the orchestra was half an hour late, the dance gained momentum as it pro- gressed, and the evening proved an enjoyable one for the small crowd that was present. Anna Laura Buntin was presented as the Sophomore Queen of 1934. l81I qg, Fifi ' A 5 slice is ' EA EL 1' 'NL- Y 26 1934 It was fin is for two more groups f Western athletes when they finished com petmg in the Little Nmeteen meet at Mon mouth Coach Barclay s track men tied for .di IWW- fz 11 Xt ',,.

Three members of the golf team--Gal- loway, Captain Hoff- man, and Roark- competed in the conference student golf tournament, but failed to place. The winner, Jack Wright from Milli- kin, was forced to tie the course record to take top laurels. In the faculty tennis meet, Karl Crilly, tennis coach, was the sole representative, while in faculty golf several Western men competed, but only Dr. Waggoner placed. Dr. Waggoner, an almost perennial winner of the title, finished second, four strokes behind Oak- land of DeKalb whom he had previously defeated in the Teachers College meet at Normal earlier in the month. MAY 26, 1934-There has been all kinds of absurd guesses as to what the four H's stood for in the title of the Well known agricultural club, but the real mean- ing of the organization was clear enough after the demonstration held in the W0- men's Gymnasium. . , COUNTRY GARDEN Round and round the old sun dial March Marigolds in single file Up and down, and all around The flagstones sunken on the ground.

Small, unassuming pansies lie Each with a dew-tear in her eye To watch the hollyhocks stand tall And stalk along the broken wall. -Margaret Woods. MAY 28, 1934- Be Prepared! The Boy Scout organization took on new significance to all who were present at the Court of Honor held in the Morgan Gym- nasium. After several years in the doldrums, scouting in Macomb has taken a new lease on life. The Western band and scores of awards to scouts of all ranks and classes featured the program. MAY 28, 1934- The Varsity Klub showed that it went in for superla- tives in everything. Less than three weeks after its min- strel show and its dance, it sponsored a strawberry festival held near the gym. Personally, we can think of no two words that sound more delicious than strawberry festi- val. MAY 29, 1934- Ah wish ah were in de land ob cotton came to the minds of many of the students when the photoplay title, Dixie flashed on the screen in assem- bly. As a special part of the series of serv- ices held in honor of war veterans at the college, Dixie, a selection from the Chronicles of Amer- lC3.,, series prepared under the auspices of the Yale University Press, was shown. The pic- tures are of unquestioned authenticity. The climax of the film was reached with the showing of a reenactment of Lee's sur- render to Grant at Appomattox. The house was a minutely accurate reproduction of the actual house in which the surrender took place. Photographs taken within a few days of this event were preserved and were copied to the minutest detail. i321 FN U 5 fx is swf i 1 4 ll ' ri 1 ri f t si. 1 .

It was not only point, set, and match for the Western netmen, but it was the conclusion of the 1934 season for all and the Reception and Banquet, the Kappa Delta Pi Breakfast, and the Band Concert to the Graduating Exercises on June 7, the ex- ercises kept the graduates and many of the younger students busy. The speaker for the final exercises was Dean G. J. Laing of the University of Chicago, who spoke on Lit- end of a college career for the two Seniors, Wells and Murphy. The final match was held at Normal against the big brother of the Illinois teachers' col- leges. MAY 30, 1934- Ta p s w e r e sounded, and the group began a slow retreat from the Me- morial Trees, located near Lake Ruth. Western and the city of Macomb had just finished paying horn- ae to the seven West- ern students who gave their lives during the World War. The Training School stu- dents had sung four typical war songs, and seven from their number had given brief tributes to the I learning.

It is reported that the address was very fine, but that the speaker could tell Dr. Garwood's students nothing about literature and none of the others anything about lei- sure, but possibly the report was erron- eous. An especial fea- ture of the series of events was the Re- union of the Class of 1909 on June 6. The class held a luncheon at Zimmerman's and a tea in the Student Lounge. 'UNE 5 to 7, 1934 -The first for- mal reunion of any class in the history of the school occurred as the members of the Class of 1909 gathered to observe -M. K.

A luncheon was held at noon for the class and their fam- ilies. A tea was given in the student lounge at four o'clock. Cy- rus Lance of Cedar Falls, Iowa, was UNE 1-7, 1934-No student could re- main quite aloof, and some were vitally affected by the dizzying swirl of activities for the class of 1934. Beginning with the President's Reception, held in the Museum June 1 and continuing through the Princi- pal's reception to Academy graduates, Dr. Morgan's Baccalaureate address, the Acad- emy, Baccalaureate, the Twelfth Grade Class Day Exercises and Awards, Academy Com- mencement, the Awards of Honor, the Diana Klub Alumni Luncheon-Bridge, the Alumni chairman of the reunion committee, and the arrangements were in charge of two Macomb members of the honored group, Mrs. Lucile Wyne Simpson and Mrs. Lida Milne Crabb. UNE 6, 1934- Happy Days Are Here Again! How fitting that old song hit is in expressing the most prevalent emotion among the student body at the culmination of the school year of 1933 and 1934. A few of the more energetic were to come back for summer school, but even they were not ad- versely inclined toward a four-day holiday.

QVINCENTJ Macomb A quiet and reserved young man, yet at the same Julia-the Mrs. to you, Bradford Vincent-has in- itiative. In her clubs and elsewhere she has made special activities successful when others could not. This is especially so in Y. W. C. A. work. Her McDowell Glee Club work has demonstrated her talent of leadership in a quiet and pleasant manner by her ability to organize and carry through projects which, under less capable hands, would have failed.- Chemistry. ANDERSON, PAULINE M. Macomb As a prominent Senior from Macomb, Pauline has demonstrated her right to popularity through her membership to Kappa Delta Pi, Diana Klub, and the Palette and Brush. Further proof of her art ability may be veriied in the Art work of this volume of Western's Sequel, since it was under Pauline's di- rection.-Art. BACON, DOROTHY FRANCES Augusta Though not possessing the boundless energy of our President, Roosevelt, she reflects his courage in suc- ceeding, despite seemingly unsurmountable difficul- ties. She is the better to get good grades, grand- daughter. Dorothy's kingdom lies in her intellect and persistence. She has served as assistant editor of our weekly paper this past year.-Latin. BANKS, JAMES FILSON Blandinsville We are speaking of the fellow in the chemistry lab. who has been wet nursing the baseball team on the upper lip. Come out from behind that bush, Banks, we know who you are. The general appear- ances of this young gentleman are those characteristic of a great musician, especially a pianist or violinist. However, all his efforts seem bent with all sincerity toward chemistry. Pm certain that many of those who have had contact with chemistry study will extend their sincere hope for his mastery of many of the illusions of the subject.-Chemistry. BLYTHE, GRANVILLE VERNE Smithshire He's an honor student, so to speak, attaining mem- bership to Kappa Delta Pi, which is a national hon- orary fraternity. Granville proved his leadership ability as president of the class during his Sophomore year and of the Student Council the following year. Always an active and progressive member of the or- ganizations to which he belonged, he was one of the leading spirits of the Bachelor Klub.-Chemistry. BROWN, ALCIA ELIZABETH Colchester Alcia has played a saxophone in the orchestra and band all of her four years here at Western. Con- sidering no one her inferior and no one her superior, you'll ind Alcia has done her duty by every person she has known, including her saxophone.-Home Economics.

He is an industrious student standing high in his classes. Besides being a member of several clubs, such as physics and chemistry, he has been active in the Bachelor and Green Door Clubs and was an oiiicer of the Men's Glee Club this past year.--Physics. BURGESS, LERA Z. Canton Lera was Miss Thompson's assistant this year in the Training School, a position which requires a whole- souled pleasure in working with children combined with a thoroughness in the handling of their study material. After working in the training school all day she has to tolerate the antics of the many fresh- man girls at Monroe Hall.-Education. BUTCHER, ELINOR RUTH Macomb Have you ever gazed upon anyone neater than Elinor? We wonder if her neatness is the reason she has a way with the teachers or if it is just her studious aptitude. She has been active in numerous clubs and societies during her four years ranging from the Kappa Delta Pi to the Diana Club. fBeg pardon, we meant to say Diana Klub.J--Home Economics. CALLAHAN, EDWARD GEORGE Macomb A conscientious student who took not only his studies, but everything in which he was interested, seriously. A ruling passion for handball led him often to the gymnasium, thus making him one of the best players of the student body. At all times an ardent supporter of athletic teams, he ascribes his greatest thrill to the Auggie game in '32 when Grebe ran 60 yards on a sneak to score. Ed. considers the courses in heredity under Doc. Waggoner as his most interesting courses. Since Ed. was so interested in biology he likewise spent consider- able time in the ravine and became quite attached there.--Biology. CARRISON, HELEN MARIE Macomb Helen is a lady mathematician, a conscientious student of her anticipated profession, a lively and likeable good sport combined with the dignity and reservedness that goes to deine one as desirable. Signals for proof of the above can be sighted to her membership in Kappa Delta Pi and D.K.--Mathe- -matics. CARSON, J. CUYLER Macomb Tink has contributed his share toward creating a pleasing atmosphere at the social functions here at Western. He is truly a handy man in the industrial arts shop and, due to his skill there, he has been the artist behind the scenes for many favorable stage set- tings. Remember the many Glee Club formals, the Roosevelt birthday party and several advertising sign boxes around the halls and down town? Those were only a part of his excellent work. As president of the Western Men's Glee Club he has proven himself capable of getting along with society. --Industrial Arts. E351 ' 1 WESTERN? 1934 WI-IO,S WHo . . Seniors CARWELL, PAULINE A. Liberty One word description of Pauline-Conscientious. That description will hold true to her attitude in school work, other tasks, chemistry, and to her fel- low students-Chemistry. CLAYTON, CAROLYN ELIZABETH Chicago Carolyn has attended more other colleges, perhaps, than any other Western senior. She last attended Chicago Normal and transferred to Western for her senior year. She is popular in her circle of friends even though she has been here but a comparatively short time. Miss Clayton's supervisor of practice-teaching described her to a reporter as being fair, modest, and possessing a ine sense of justice. -English. COCHRAN, WILLARD JAMES Macomb Here is a quiet, somewhat reserved young man who seldom speaks but has a very pleasing tone with such a resonance as to make it a pleasure to converse with such a one. Willard is very consistent in his work- that is-judging from his variety of feminine compan- ionship.-Commercial. COFFMAN, JAMES PAUL Kirkwood Deeply interested in his studies, Paul perhaps omit- ted a lot of the more frivolous fancies of college life. Nevertheless all who knew him respected his industry. Always on the alert for self-improvement, he spent considerable time browsing in the geography lab. and talking to Dr. Tillman. Paul will be remembered by his Academy students as a real Biology teacher.-- Biology. CORDELL, ELMA A. Colchester In an earnest, steadfast, and enthusiastic manner Elma has exerted more influence upon school opinion than any other one student at Western this year. In her sophomore year she was on the Courier staff in charge of the Exchange Department, then this year has been the Editor-in-chief. She has conducted a most successful season as such.-English. CRABB, A. RICHARD Macomb When one is successful with a number of very different projects we must conclude that he is actually a versatile individual. Rich has proven this qual- .5 'IN 3' s ff ms 7 4 1 Iv C L ' 9 I ,X Q2 05 mfr? C J' 'P' we at we lc-'JN ai- b u' s so Q to 1 .1 -I W cl Uv- A l ' , u. ity of versatility in many ways. As Editor of the 1933 Sequel, a member of the 1934 Sequel Board, captain and most valuable man of the 1933 Never- sweat tournament, elected honorary member of Pi Kappa Delta, which entitled him to wear the diamond studded key, a Western tennis representative for three T861 years, and other minor activities, I feel safe in recom- mending the pace, which Richard has set for extra- curricular success, as an honor to him and an achieve- ment to be envied by every one who feels his texts are inadequate to complete a well-rounded education.- History. DARNER, DORA BERNICE Kankakee Dora is an active member of one of Western's most outstanding Physical Education clubs, the W. A. A. By blending the combination of Home Economics with Physical Education, Dora should live a long and healthy life.-Home Economics. DENNIS, DOROTHEA Macomb Dorothea is a Home Economics major. She is quiet and is not so easy to know. She tends strictly to her own, which is a virtue extraordinary. Withal we have come to know her in these four years and feel that we have judged her sincerely and honestly.- Home Economics. DODDS, GRACE Palmyra, Mo. Grace's unfailing good-nature comforts the weary. Her friends swear by her because they cannot fail to recognize her fundamental goodness. She has been a Proctor at Monroe Hall for several years and the girls think of her as quiet, reserved and always ready to joke and laugh with anyone at the proper moment. Grace is a member of Kappa Delta Pi and also of the English Club. Her major is English. She has a desire to travel and We all wish her the best of luck in the years to come.-English. DOYLE, CECIL ROBERT Macomb Cec is a good all-around athlete. He has earned letters in major sports at Western. Perhaps the most important memory to be linked with his athletic career is his ability to kick, with accuracy, the try for extra point and make it good. This was proven several times during his football experiences. For instance, the 1933 game between Shurtleff and Western, when the score was 6-6 and the accurate toe of Doyle's supplied the diierence in the scoring of the two teams. His ability to make perfect these placement kicks was outstanding. He is a sympathizing friend which is a friend in need and a friend in need is a friend indeed.-Physical Education. DRAEGERT, GAYLAND Macomb An example of a non-self assertive disposition but good-natured, studious, intelligent and always helping someone else with his task. Reliability and deter- mination make up a great part of his character. These were brought to light most vividly in the aid which he contributed to the Green Door and its functions through his ability as a stage technician. His opera- tions and aids to those competing in the State High School contests were most excellent.-Physics. EICHELSDOERFER, GRETCHEN Rock Island Gretch hails from the Tri-Cities and is a trans- fer from Augustana. She loves to swim and play tennis. Among other advantageous characteristics she writes occasional lines of poetry and short stories only to be supplemented by a hand of bridge now and then. We believe that her capacity to carry out an assigned duty, however disagreeable it may be, will carry her a long way in life. She is always ready to express an unbiased opinion on most questions of importance.-English. ESHOM, MYRETA HELEN Mendon Miss Eshom has emerged from Western as one of the quietest of women in the class. She claims to Seniors . . . . WEsTEnN's 1934 W1-10's Wno have enjoyed most of her classes under Miss Hoover in the Academy building in room B-4. This particular place seems to be a favorite rendezvous for many English majors.-English. EVERETT, FLORENCE Kansas City, Mo. A Monroe Hall lady of distinction due to her trait of kindliness. She is also known for her con- structive rather than destructive criticism. We be- come so unmindful of the truth, but those who are able to overlook truthful faults of others, see the good, and make it known, are greatly and justly ap- preciated.-English. FOSTER, JAMES H., JR. Macomb Jim is a little fellow with all the best qualities of a Bachelor Klub fBrudderJ. He likes to work and it doesn't matter particularly at what, just so he's busy. Whether he is reading an English novel or helping his classmates loaf, he does it with all his enthusiasm-by the way, he is a most enthusiastic loafer. CNone to your discredit, Jimg it's the great American privilege.j We find that among his fondest memories of his several years or so at Western he chooses his Bachelor Klub initiation to stand' apart from all others. Wonder why? FUHR, JOHN Macomb Johnny will be remembered by more than a gen- eration of college students as the chief spokesman at -nearly all the Homecoming bon-fires. He has been the one man of very few to try to keep alive the real school spirit for athletics. Bon-fires, ad- ministrator for the Carthage Football Funeral in 1931, band parade leader, and his ability as an amateur stage show producer are all ine examples of his ability as a leader in extra-curricular ac- tivities.-History. GRAHAM, HELEN Mrs. Graham is a very efficient commercial student and is employed by Mr. Simpkins in the Training School office. As secretary and treasurer of Kappa Delta Pi and Vice President of the Commercial Club she serves her capacity well. Her days are busy days, but no matter how much she is pressed for time she is always ready to lend a helping hand to the struggling student.-Commercial. GROTE, ORA Griggsville The last name is very familiar to almost everyone connected with Western. Ora has been one of the Monroe Hall Proctors for several years. She is a member of the English and French Clubs. It isn't often one finds a lady who is more inter- ested in what you have to say than in saying some- thing herself. HAMILTON, MARGARET LUCILLE Colchester Peggy is an adorable little girl. With her, in- difference becomes a charm, or perhaps it's not indiffer- ence, but merely an inborn ease in taking things as they come, doing them with a sort of careless careful- ness, and appearing surprised when the job is inished. When asked her greatest thrill during her college life she answered that it was passing advanced ac- counting. She may be considered among the major personages of the student lounge.-Commercial HAMMOND, GERALD E. Gerry has been a prominent student at Western. He was on the dance committee, and is a Bachelor Klub, and Glee Club member. His quartet position at second tenor for four years was a successful ac- complishment. Gerry has a mind of his own and, right or wrong, he has the courage of his convictions. He has shown a decided preference for the Satur- Macomb day Evening Post and the Cosmopolitan rather than the issued text books. They say that he also loves a quiet card game with an occasional drag from the glowing embers of a Lucky. -Chemistry. HAVER, GEORGE Kewanee Georgia is the black curly-haired fellow whom you have seen as tenor soloist for the Glee Club for the past few years and also a member of the first quartet. He is vice president of the senior class and a member of the B.K.'s. As a singer, he has great promise. Seriousness combined with a keen sense of humor has made George a friend of many.--Music. HERMETET, SUE JEAN Macomb Suey is a prominent student at Western. She transferred from Northwestern University here at the beginning of her Sophomore year. She has made a host of friends-friends that will last, for they realize the steadfastness of her character. Sue gets a lot of fun out of life and if we are correct in our assumption she has plenty more to come. Sue is president of the Dianas and a most active member of Green Door activities. She was one of the chief forces in the production of Peter Pan. During her junior year she won for herself and the school, first place in the State Declamatory Contest.-English. HIGGS, CHARLES LEONARD Trivoli Chuck is one of the most outstanding personages of the class of 1934. His prominence and popularity on the Western campus is in a class of distinction. Besides being the only four letter athlete in school, he is, or has been, president of the Varsity Club, Senior Class, member of the Student Activity Board and Bachelor Klub. Simplicity is the Open Sesame to Chuck's char- acter. He never clutters his mind or his work with bewildering facts and details. Instead, he frees com- plex details from their intricacies and, in doing so, brightens not only his own life but the lives of those about him. He is a willing worker and does what is necessary, speedily and accurately. He plays square with every- F' 'Sf-we 54: F' 1,15 P63- sr sz , 3-5 13 ' vii 5' v- rs, ,J 21 P . 3 one while doing his work and always gives the other man the advantage of a doubt.-Physical Education. HOULE, BUEL EVELYN Kewanee It seems that quietness and reservedness is a dom- inating characteristic of the 1934 senior class rather than a characteristic of an individualg it seems evident again in the case of Bobby Houle. i371 1 , W ......a.....4.-...::..':.f Ezsrianug 1934 Wnofs Wi-ro . . .p p I She has studied hard as a Commercial major and has applied herself successfully. Buel has acquired a habit which is perhaps more practical than any of those of studiousness. It is the habit of agreeability. She is extremely good-natured and has everything that goes with such a quality.-Commercial. HUNT, WENDELL E. Macomb Mike is a real chemist but he also partook of twenty-two and one-half hours of mathematics which constitutes a major in that also. One of the most outstanding memories which seems to still penetrate the bygone days, says Mike, is his associations with feminine society. This was also included in his extra curricular activities in the form of showing sweet young things around our beautiful campus. Mike is most adaptive, but he specializes. With his common sense and intelligence he is going to take a popular path to the top.--Chemistry. INGLES, DONOVAN Industry Donnie Ingles is that dark and handsome young man from Industry. Evidently a beautiful blonde thinks so, too. n He says that he enjoys athletics but participates only for the personal pleasure. He is a rather quiet gentle- man but at the same time is very much in favor of nonconformity if he feels that way. For a long time he gave the feminine world of West- ern a cold shoulder but now We know the reason. He was linked to the trials of matrimony for several months before anyone was informed. CMore power to you, Donnie, there are perhaps several Western Grads who will go through life as old maidens and bachelors who will wish they had followed your matrimonial path were it not for the usual few ifs and buts.,'J-Industrial Arts. JACKSON, JAMES Macomb Jim is one of, if not the most outstanding actor of Western's recent years. He has taken part in prac- tically all of the plays with one of the leading roles. He is president of the Green Door and is a member of Pi Kappa Delta.-Biology. KENNEDY, DALE Table Grove In Mr. Kennedy we have one of the most dual per- sonalities of our campus. Can you imagine a person being a farmer and a college student at the same time? He complainsof having trouble getting the hayseed out of his hair when he leaves Table Grove every morning to come to school. He's on leave of absence from King's Illinois.- Mathematics. KENNEDY, EARLE LEWIS Macomb Red is a blooming asset to Biology. He seems to be one of the most enthusiastic followers of his chosen profession I have ever seen. It seems that he is never anyplace other than one of the Biology Labs. How- ever, he could be found from time to time at some party or in the student auditorium going through one of his original character impersonations. Red is a good actor and has an inevitable yen for creating dramatic episodes.-Biology. KIRKPATRICK, RALPH WAYNE Macomb Ralph is one of the most prominent debaters on the ...Sembrs Western team. The subject matters not when a debate can be had. He is never beset with doubts as to the logic of his arguments. He is a member of Pi Kappa Delta, a national hon- orary forensic society. His great enthusiasm is at- tached to things of a literary nature.-English. LEFTRIDGE, TREVA MARIE Vermont Treva is a Home Economics major. She also belongs to the Diana Klub and MacDowell Glee Club. She is a hard worker, a generous classmate who al- ways greets you with a smile. We would be immensely disappointed to ever ind her other than the frank, congenial, and obliging friend we know.--Home Economics. LIMACHER, FRANK Winslow Frank was an active member of the football squad and still found time to attend to his Business Man- agership of the Men's Glee Club. It has been inti- mated that someone said that this was not possible but you see it is, anyway. Frank is plenty good-natured, ready-humored, easy- going and ready to turn off the light and snore with you at nine o'clock if you will just wake him in time to get to class. His only health barometer is his appetite which says he is deathly ill if he falls under a dozen sausages at breakfast.-Industrial Arts. LINKS, ERRETT DELOS Macomb Delos is a small island in the Aegean Sea, and the birth place of Apollo, the sun god. If names mean any- thing, Errett should ascend to the highest realm. In his ascension, he may well use his ability as a sprinter and his artistic temperament as keys to success. His knowledge of physics and mathematical theories may define for him a path to greater aims. May your path be wide and filled with clover-leaves, Errett!-- Physics. LOY, ARTHUR Good Hope Loy rhymes with toy--something to play with. But this Loy cannot be meddled with or fussed. Possessed with an exceptionally keen outlook as to physics, chemistry, and math., he shuns the vicissi- tudes of his co-workers and passes along his pen to all. Through college Art has slipped by the fair sex to devote his leisurely time to research and ex- periment. God bless you, Art! You've more sense or will power than the most of us but, my, you've had a close shave! Some day we may hear a well-groomed personage say, My! a splendid haircut, Prince Loy, a splendid haircut! -Physics. MCDILL, GEORGE HAMILTON Bushnell For once red hair fails to conform to its law of controlling temperament. Cool and steady, rarely mistaken in his concoctions, he pauses to stop and aid those less gifted in the ways of acquiring an educa- tion. Although his research in fields of historical accounts is splendid, he fairly reeks with the environmental influence. Good fortune possess you, George, in a fashion never dull or boringg rather, it is victorious and sparkling with Knightly Graces.-- History. MELVIN, GUY Y. LaHarpe Ah, too late we warn the unrequiting youth, . MU'H'f'Jl ' E381 Seniors. . The soul of whom is rapt like stars in Heaven aboveg Forgetting all the worldly friends he's had And giving all and all for one he loves. ' Fret not, Guy, but rather, revel in your happiness. May Mrs. Melvin share with you your challenging thoughts on commerce so that you can boldly find a theory in some famous experiment. Guy has been an individual any one, able to keep pace with, is surely an artist. METZGER, DONALD' A. Macomb Learned is he who Ends his goal through trial .and error! . Let-all-pass-Don is an outstanding personage. In class one scarcely had the chance to level himself on Don's plane. Someday, for sure, he shall be a famous Geologist for indeed he has shown superb ability in pulling down well nigh perfect grades under Dr. Tillman, who defies me to say that this is impossible. A lady by his side seems to be Don's chief aim, exclusive of his educational pursuits. A dancer, a singer, and a good conversationalist, Don has many friends of the Western campus. I Sorry to lose you, Don, even for one quarter. - Geography. MILLER, MARY MAXINE Macomb Sweetness, tidiness, kindliness, and devotedness per- sonified. That's Maxine. Charmingly delightful in English Club gatherings, she rarely fails to create comments of the better mien. A fine P. T. in English as well as a fine Supervisor, Miss Miller undoubtedly will find all places open to her desires. A natural born leader? No, not ex- actly, rather a leader, naturally born.-English. MOON, HOWARD E. Macomb ------l --1-l ! ! ! ! ? Those names are too complimentary. Howard, a likeable and care- free person, has created a great number of lasting friends. Can he sing? Can any of the Moons sing? Ask the Singing Hundred. Moonie, we shan't prophecy as to your future, yet we can hint that some day in the bonny, bonny future you may be a milk man and at night you can come home, weary and forlorn, and have a little Chatter amounting to a ton. --Industrial Arts. MOORE, ROSE MARY Winchester To one who possesses a greater love for the guidance of today's children, we extend our sincerest of hopes for great attainments in her field of work.-Education. MULLEN, ANNABELLE Adair Inclined to cast a knowing eye on her unsuspecting instructors, she has thus far glided through the various realms of thought having as her guiding Stat the children of Western's tomorrow. And does she like gum? I hope to smack she does! Always steady, she works faithfully and earnestly with the help of her kindest neighbors. You're a peach, Annie-let's not let your motto be, 'Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all! And Annie, please don't forget, hereafter, to specify exact times in which your invites are to be fulfilled. Lower Grades. Miiil' i391 . . . W:es'naaN's 1934 W1-1o's WHO MURPHY, MAX W. Macomb Life is not a celebration -Shannon. It would seem that Dr. Shannon was all wrong when he made that statement. When we observe Max day after day it seems that everyone has been placed here on earth for the purpose of entertaining him but, perhaps it's just the situation in which he places them. Max will be remembered by many students of Western as the master of the old - Illinois Sweet Shop gang. ' Let it be said not that he is not a student of Litera- ture, for truly he is most qualiied and glib.-English. NARDIN, CHARLES FRANKLIN Industry Hailing from the wide open spaces near Pinhook, Frank certainly has wearied his way along the educa- tional lines and is he an English student? Ask any one in his 35 2 class. They say he just raves on about The Rise of Prose Literature. Versatile on the gridiron, he has caused many a fair lass a fluttering of the heart. True 'tis--cast thine eyes about and ye shall believe. Frank will be remembered by many of the Western rural practice teachers as the dependable transporter. His new Chevy has fulfilled another capacity this past single year-by partially fulfilling the desires of a certain individual from the Kline store.-Imlus- trial Arts. NESTER, GENEVIEVE CATHERINE Macomb We might quite well call her Hard Luck Gene- vieve. Illness, sprains, and breaks have followed her throughout her four years. For the average person they would be permanent drawbacksg to Genny, they have been merely temporary impediments inspiring for greater things. She is an ardent enthusiast of foreign languages! Latin and French hold not the slightest horror for her, but rather interest her to the extent that A's and A-'s are common forms on her credit slips. But not entirely is she concerned with French and the dead language. Oh! woe is me! a lover hath she most kind, devoted and sincere.--Latin. NEYLON, FRANK M. Macomb There are some of us who think our judgment is infallible. Frank has good judgment-at times. And can he talk and rave on! For hours and hours he will gab to our dismay, but alas and alas, he stops not. In class he is absolutely rare Cwhen he doesn't talkj. Frank has served as one of the very few photogra- phers of the Western student body. He has perhaps the most interesting school album of any one. We might tie Frank with Brit Sullivan. Frank possesses a constant mien of Where's my girl? -his girl being the first that may come along. Perhaps we should mention B'ville! n ' est - ce pas?? --History. PARRY, KEITH W. Astoria And Keith a mighty man he was. Who, of us, can forget how valiantly Keith plod his way through sleet and rain for the dear ole Purple to win a two mile race? Keith, too, is outstanding as a master builder. His untiring and devoted interest in his experimental work lr. WBSTERN,S 1934 WHo's W1-Io . . . . Seniors in the School of Arts has dominated his personality. He is serious and didactic to say the least, yet he is not dogmatic nor a prude. You don't believe me? Pierce, with thine orbs, the amateurish tumbling team with their clown. Who is their clown-the clown with so many vests and so much slack in the pants? Only one person could be--Perry! More good fortune for those of your kind, Keith. May your life be one good inVESTment after an- other. -Chemistry. PAULSON, ROY L. Aurora Whitey! Good ole Whitey. He certainly is a good ole standby. For years and years and years his sparkling countenance has been brightening the Western campus. At work or at play, Whitey is certainly unique. I have been told that it was Whitey who read the ceremony for the freshman who was kissing the candle on the banks of Lake Ruth in the Fall of 1931. This wasn't so bad but the poor freshman had just returned from the one time very popular Rosie's. -Commercial. PEARSON, LOUISE BARCLAY Macomb Louise was a senior with us in the Fall quarter but has since been noticed through her absence. We hope she'll continue with the class of '35 at Western. PETERSON, MAXINE Macomb Steady is she, aye faithful, too. We say faithful- ness is a requisite to a Home Ec. major-it has to be. Thus We know that she is not the pupil, but rather the student. If one scrutinizes closely, one can see her artistic temperament. For deep within, there is a desire for musical acquaintanceship. Tell me, Maxine, as his fingers wander over the keyboard, does he play, 'Be Mine Tonight,' or 'Sweethearts Forever' fSing out thy love, Maxine, sing out for him who loveth thee with all his heart!J -Home Economics. PICKREL, LEON F. Davenport, Ia. I believe Leon is graduating this year and he's putting forth a most encouraging effort. He has been carrying five subjects all year. He's a bit more experienced than most of the college students but he's come to be one of all the rest.-Industrial Arts. PURDUM, JANE Macomb Didactic, forceful, occasionally erratic, Jane looms like a black tower against a silver sky. Excellently capable in educational aspects, she glides from place to place exhibiting the intellectual capacity which she so calmly bears. As Editor of this Year Book, we believe Jane has portrayed her rather subtle artistic tendencies in a most pleasing and gratifying manner.-Chemistry. RAINEY, MARGARET Rushville Margaret is one of those girls who take life with the sort of seriousness that seems never to cause the least bit of worry. If appearances are true, we can predict for her a favorable balance of pleasure rather than sorrows. She is prominent in her major department's club, namely, the W. A. A., and is also a member of the English Club.-Physical REEDER, MARY E. Payson Mary is another of those really quiet girls. Evi- dently her quietness is supplied through the medium of her studious attitude toward her education.- Home Economics. RICHARDSON, CLARENCE Plymouth Universal appeal?-Yes, we have it here at West- ern. Preachers seem to find the place as practical for education as any other. This little man lyes, he's all of five feet tallj has been a friend to many of us. Hailing from Plymouth he daily brings in his quota of students. His affable, studious disposition will certainly be missed next year by all with whom he has associated. ROBINSON, BERWYN Ipava We are quite condent in saying that Robie needs no introduction. As president of the Junior Class, Business Manager of 1934 Sequel, a Varsity football regular, twice chosen on the first all-star team of the Western Never-Sweat Basketball League, a B. K. member, and Kappa Delta Pi, etc., we base our assumptions. Robie was another of those jolly Seniors. We say jolly because he seldom showed signs of worry but instead he was seen many and many a time bounc- ing up and down to the rythm of an orchestra, es- pecially if he were talking to anyone in the student lounge. It must have been just the old idea that Music Makes Me. Doncha think so, Robie? -- All jokes aside, Berwyn was popular, and deserv- ingly so, because he was active and successful in all his college undertakings. He is a fine example of the Kappa Delta Pi standards.-Chemistry. SARGENT, ELVIRA Clayton Elvira graduates from Western as a rather con- genial type of individual. Her tidiness, combined with simplicity, is bound to be a predominating character of her influence upon those of her future society.-Home Economics. SHAVER, ROBERT Macomb If prizes were being awarded for the various out- standing characteristics, Bob would perhaps take the one for Reasonableness It seems that he controls his temperamental emotions to the extent of distin- guishing one as a Country Gentlemanf'-Agriculture. SHIELDS, RANDALL Macomb Here it is. The cause of so many gray hairs in Miss Colby's head. Now don't get us wrong. Randall is a good worker and has been a hub of the cafeteria during the past year. Of course, as is characteristic of anyone with so dignified a look, he is a major in chemistry. His bright blue eyes have caused a great many sleepless nights in Monroe Hall during the past year.-Chemistry. SHORT, THOMAS R. Payson Such an individual as Tommy is forever a re- minder of several very thrilling athletic events. Place-Carthage Gym. 1932. Situation-Car- thage in the lead with the score 43 to 42.

What a game and what a man. Besides being A No. 1 in athletics, Tommy has succeeded in making good with the femmes-one in particular. He was somewhat remote until the Spring of 1933 when he was plucked from his bushes of thorns and ever since has been an ardent advocate of love. We bid farewell to a soldier of the hardwood and wish him success in a most noble profession, that of building MEN. God knows the world needs them.-Physical Education. SOLLIDAY, HORACE NICHOLS Oklahoma City, Okla. Rev. Solliday is new to us. He moved to Macomb this winter to complete his studies in education. An ex-soldier and a graduate of Phillips University in Enid, Oklahoma. His cool-headed alertness and abil- ity in all his classes has caused many a freshman to wonder how one small head can contain so much. -History. SPEER, RUTH Ruth, whose home is near Avon, came to Western at the beginning of her Junior year from Knox Col- lege. She has a major in mathematics and is espe- cially interested in that field. Isn't an A in Calculus proof enough? Aside from school activities, Ruth has a hobby for cooking. Chocolate cakes, cookies and candies are favorites of hers.-Mathematics. STRODE, CURTIS W. Marietta Curtis began his life of trials and successes near Marietta, Ill. He's a farm boy made good, one of the silently powerful. When I irst knew him he was plugging away at a cornet in the college orchestra. He was usually found working away in the Phys. Lab. inventing things to rack the minds of some high school class next year. He is a member of Kappa Delta Pi, a signal honor in itself. His work in Y. M. C. A. caused him to go to Lake Geneva last summer. We lose an intellect when we lose Strode.-Physics. VAIL, RUSSELL SWITZER Macomb Another Macomb boy' graduating from the home town college. Emory has guided the ship of state of the second bass section of the Men's Glee Club this past year. His calm patience in dealing with his subjects has brought their respect and admiration. A B. K. member and a Never-sweat enthusiast, he has made himself popular with a large and varied circle of friendsg varying into the circles of the weaker sex.- Industrial Arts. Avon VALENTINE, JOE Metamora Married men are never excluded. Joe went to James Millikin University for his first year of advanced secondary education. After attending Western for a time he met his everlasting. She's a darlin' though. There are none of us who have not heard the in- imitable quality of Joe's rich baritone and been objects of his jovial humor. He has a good memory, says Silvey, and he always keeps his awning out. just a precaution, you know.--Music. WARNER, WILMA LaHarpc Being a major in Home Economics here is a good recommendation for her as a preparer of delicious foods, for who deies me to say that our Home Ec. department is not thorough. Her perpetual good nature and love of true sports- manship have made her a valued friend of all those who live in Monroe Hall. Her keen intellect has been the nucleus of more than one good time there.-- Home Economics. WELLS, FRANCIS CARL Macomb Here we come upon one of the most significant feature writers this campus has ever produced. Simon possesses that true Wit of style which makes for the most effective writing. He is especially clever at the art of concealing a stab in the sheep's clothing of fine argument. He has been of invaluable aid to the Courier during the past, and that, with other extra- curricular activities, has made him an important cog in our college machine.-English. WILT, JOHN KERMIT Adair Adair always has produced good students and with the graduation of J. Kermit Wilt Esq., their record is still good. We have visions of Sheik's ball slugging on the diamond and they were not optical illusions, either. He has been an integral part of the Glee Club and an entertainer at all times.-Industrial Arts. WOLL, FRANKLIN CLIFFORD Macomb Anybody want a political pull? Go to Woll. If it can be swung, he'll swing it. Besides that, the boy is getting two majors, one in History and one in English. His ability to disagree and argue at any and all times, plus his ironic humor, have sufficed to make him pop- ular. His characteristically eilicient walk in the halls has attracted widespread attention among the Fresh- man classes this year.-History. YARD, WAYNE WILMER Macomb Wayne, or rather Mr. Yard, is a man among few others of his kind. We say thispbecause he has com- pleted his work for a degree and all the time was the successful head of his family. With but one look at his devoted companion and those-little Yards-we understand the reason for Wayne's enthusiasm for all his undertakings.-History. E911 W1as'rzzxN's 1934 WI-!0,SlWHO . gt .

This may explain Retta's constant employment with the every-moment.-English.

It is, therefore, the reason that the Sequel presents those students and faculty members who have, during the past year, received recognition for things achieved. Because the Sequel wished to present those attaining honors, the book has been withheld until after the annual day of awards. It is fitting that these awards should be included in the Sequel in order that the honors may exist in a more permanent rec- ord and for years untold, remain a monument to the achievements of these outstanding Western students of 1934. Western had her royalty to honor. At the Annual Varsity Klub vaude- ville, the Klub Queen was presented. Margaret Stocker, a junior, was chosen for this honor. The candi- dates who received the next highest number of votes acted as maids of honor for the queen's court. The charming attendants were Anna Laura Buntin, Monita O'Neil, Kath- erine Dunsworth, and Ruth Young. The sophomore class selected four of their number as candidates for the Sophomore Queen to be voted upon by the student body. On Tuesday, May 22 at the assembly period, Ruth- anne Barclay, Monita O'Neil, Ruth Currens, and Anna La'ura Buntin were presented to the students so they could decide which they wished to be queen. At the Sophomore dance, Anna Laura Buntin was crowned queen of the sophomore class, by president, Robert Bricker. Left fo right: Anna Laura Buntin, Sophomore Queen, Lady of Courtg Monita O'Neil, Lady of Courtg Margaret Stocker, Varsity Queen, Ruth Young and Katherine Dunsworth, Ladies of Court. 1011 33 BERWYN ROBINSON JAMES JACKSON GRANVILLE BLYTHE PAULINE ANDERSON SCHOOL CITIZENS A very unusual group of students have been designated as School Citi- zens this year. Not in recent years has the citizen group embraced per- sons with so many varied abili- ties. There is Berwyn Robinson, stu- dent, athlete, Sequel editorial board memberg James Jackson, Green Door president, actor, debater, orator, and shall We say traveler, Granville Blythe, 1933 Student Council presi- dent, and president of Kappa Delta Pi this year, Pauline Anderson, Diana member, Sequel art editor, and Kappa Delta Pi member, and John Oathout, president of the Student Council, school orator of note, and debater, It is with pleasure that The Sequel presents for the first time photo- graphs of the School Citizens. To do this it Was necessary to take the pic- tures from the class sections. This accounts for the difference in the size of John Oathout's photograph. John is a member of the Junior Class, hence his picture is not as large as are his senior colleagues. School citizens are selected in a very unusual Way. Each year the Student Council presents to the fac- ulty the names of five students who are deemed Worthy of the citizenship honor. The faculty then adds to this list the members of the Student Council, and then votes on the group with the five high getting the honors. JOHN OATHOUT Student Council President f1o23 Elma Cardell Maxine Anders Blanche I-Iufford Doris Sowers, Margaret Wade, Doris Griffiths, Richard Crabb Kappa Delta Pi gives an award each year to the graduating sopho- more and senior who receive the highest rating in scholarship, leader- ship, participation in activities, socia- bility, co-operation and dependabili- ty, initiative, professional attitude, and adaptability. Maxine Anders, a well-known senior, member of Mac- Dowell Glee Club, Diana Klub, French Club, English Clubs, Green Door, Y.W.C.A. and Kappa Delta Pi, and Blanche Huiford, sophomore, member of Geography Club and quite active in Y.W.C.A. work were awarded this high honor. On Tuesday morning, June fifth, Margaret Wade received first honors for her poem, Country Gardens. Then Through Fate Came Thomas Hardyf, an essay by Doris Sowers, placed first in its section. First place in the short story contest was award- ed to Doris Griffiths for her story, Joey Bean Grows Qld. Awards similar to those given for literary prizes were given to two members of the Courier staff. Elma Cordell, editor of the Courier for 193 3 -'34 and Crystelle Hoar, manag- ing editor received the awards for the year. Richard Crabb received the high- est possible award in Pi Kappa Delta, that of Special Distinction. ll031i RAY HANSON HONORED Left to Right: Admiral Wat T. Cluverius, U. S. Navy, Lieutenant Hanson, Sergeant Geo. A. Boyle, a former' Marine, Col. James J. Meade, U. S. Marine Corps. First Lieutenant Raymond Han- son, U. S. Marine Corps Reserve of Macomb, Illinois, attached to the 24th Regiment of Marines was dec- orated with the Purple Heart on the Plaza of the Hall of Science at the World,s Fair, Chicago, on August 24, 1933, for meritorious service while in action with the second division in France. Lieutenant Hanson was dec- orated by Admiral Wat T. Cluverius, of the U. S. Navy and Major Chester L. Fordney, U. S. Marines, who made the Stratosphere flight last Fall. This was the only decoration of any kind awarded to the U. S. Marines, Army, or Navy, at the World's Fair in 319 33. DR. WAGGONER'S DUCK PRESENTED HIM AT THE BACHELOR KLUB V REVUE GOLF CHAMPION H. D. WAGGONER He may be a biology teacher at Western, but he's just a mighty little golfer to the other faculty members of teachers and other Little Nineteen Colleges. Dr. Waggoner has Won the Little Nineteen faculty tournament with regularity that threatens to make his feat commonplace. This year Mr.'Waggoner Won the State Teachers College faculty golf tournament held at Old Normal on May 12, defeating Professor Oakland of DeKalb by a good margin. In the Little Nineteen meet at Monmouth two Weeks later Mr. Oakland turned on the defending champion and de- feated him by a small margin. There is little doubt that Dr. Waggoner will regain his title if he continues to play with his present proficiency. 51043 Am' jUs'rUs TOM SHORT JOE HOFFMAN- The department in which the largest number of students received honors was the men's athletics. After the football season, Captain Arthur Justus, Willis Venters, Max Brady, Paul Galloway, Herbert Kraushaar, Walter Switzer, Berwyn Robinson, Russell Short, Cecil Doyle, Earl Faris, Robert Bricker, Lawrence BAIRD REYNOLDS Baseball OLD PAUL GALLOWAY Track Laeding, Kenneth Duke, Lewis Upp Charles Higgs, Charles Barrett, Har- ris Keating, Irving Stroh, Jack Nee, and Frank Limacher received letters for their accomplishments. Those honored for their work in basketball were Tom Short, Captain, Lawrence Laeding, Dwight Means, Willard Norval, Joe Oitker, Charles Higgs, JOHN MEANS-Tennis f1051 9 Ronlzm' AMADEN ' District Table Tennis Champion Charles Barrett, Paul Galloway, Cir- ville Day, Baird Reynolds, Willis Venters, and Cecil Doyle. At the final assembly, awards were given for the spring sports. Captain Baird Reynolds, Edwin Aleshire, Russell Boeker, Cecil Doyle, Charles Higgs, Herbert Kraushaar, Arthur Loy, Robert Lewis, Russell Page, and Dale Thuren were awarded baseball let- ters. Track letters were won by Captain Paul Galloway, Emery Car- ter, Max Castlebury, Fred Lynn, Allen Coon, Lawrence Laeding, Orville Day, Otha Morgan, John Grover, Raymond Conklin, John Watters, John Stocker, and Willis Venters. The golf team members, Maurice Roark, Gerald Hammond, Russell Galloway, captained by Joe Hoffman, were given letters. Cap- tain Max Murphy, Captain-elect John ,Means, Craig Yengst, and Francis Wells received Tennis let- ters. Leonard Kaszynski was the only man to be awarded a letter for swimming. Managers' awards were given to William Adams and Cecil Harn for football, to James Bailey and Maurice Roark' for basketball, to Robert Swanson for baseball, and to Bur- dette Kirkpatrick for track. Robert Amaden, Western Sopho- more, came through with flying colors while representing himself and Western in Table Tennis this year. Amaden's record is remarkable and before he graduates from College we hope to see him, sack the Western Open Championship. While attending Western, Bud Zerkle, a freshman, has won seven- teen fights and lost three. He has learned what he knows about boxing from experience. HARRY ZERKLE District Golden Gloves Winner :N-.9 51063 ' ' STUDENT EXPRESSION Students in every educational in- stitution find a great variety of self- assertion and expression. Some be- come public speakers, other enlist as journalists, a certain minority be- come interested in student govern- ment and many band themselves to- gether as a means to a more perfect social group. In the pages of The Sequel which follow are presented the many avenues through which students make themselves a construc- tive part of their collegiate society. PUBLIC SPEAKING ' Western enjoyed one of the most successful years in the history of the school in public speaking with a championship in the State Teachers' College contests and a second place rating in the Little Nineteen De- bate Conference. When the repre- sentatives of N o r m a l, DeKalb Teachers, and Western met at West- ern, Normal won first place in ora- tory and Western second, while Western won both the extempore and declamation contests. In the Little Nineteen debates Western won five out of her six debates and so claimed undisputed second. Quite a number of people partici- pated in these events and a large number of awards were given. In debate seven men were given awards. They were Richard Crabb, Ralph Kirkpatrick, John Oathout, Wayne Thompson, Hartley Defoe, Edward Rodgers, and Everett Pyle. In ora- tory John Fuhr and John Oathout earned awards. In extempore speak- ing Wayne Thompson and Ralph Kirkpatrick won awards. Eunice Erickson received an award for winning first place in the state decla- mation contest. FORUM The Forum started off its year with a drive for new members. The campaign was successful and more than made up for the members lost last year by graduation. Early in 51071 FUHR ERICKSON THOMPSON S First places by Eunice'Erickson and Wayne Thomp- son and a second by John Fuhr Won State Teachers contest for Western. the fall the Forum held its first ban- quet in the Hoover Den, at which time the new pledges were initiated. Then under the able leadership of the President, Ralph Kirkpatrick, a new program designed to keep every member active was begun. This was to be accomplished through an in- terclass all school debate tourna- ment. The men's varsity debate question was used. Coaches were chosen from the old varsity squad who, while ineligible for actual par- ticipation on account of their ex- perience, contributed much to the success of the program. The co- operation of faculty members who acted as judges was another element in the success of the undertaking, which must not be forgotten. After three rounds of good live debates the Juniors were finally de- clared the winners. The members of the Junior team were Ina Cox and Edward Rodgers, affirmative, and Ross Dustin and John Oathout, negative. In the spring quarter the Forum had its final banquet at which the new officers were elected. The ofH- cers for the past year were Ralph Kirkpatrick, president, Everett Pyle, vice-president, and Martha Purdum, secretary-treasurer, and Mr. Schory, advisor. PI KAPPA DELTA The outstanding forensic event of the year -was the Pi Kappa Delta national convention at Lexington, Kentucky. Western's year old chap- ter, Illinois Nu, made it possible for us to be represented there. Richard Crabb, Wayne Thompson, John Oathout, Ralph Kirkpatrick, and Mr. Schory made the trip, Crabb and Thompson doing the debating, NEGATIVE TEAM THOMPSON AND CRABB while Oathout and Kirkpatrick took care of the oratory and extempore speaking respectively. The debate team met schools in five different states in three days. John Oathout won his way into the semi-finals, and Ralph Kirkpatrick took part in seven extempore contests in four days. The Pi Kappa Delta held a num- ber of meetings during the year, in- cluding a banquet at the Hotel Pace fiosj HERE THEY ARE AS THEY WERE IN LEXINGTON during the ,homecoming season. The initiation for new members was held just before commencement week. Active members of Pi Kappa Delta this year were James Jackson, Wayne Thompson, Ross Dustin, Jane Pur- dum, Richard Crabb, John Oathout, and Ralph Kirkpatrick. Richard Crabb was president and John Oathout secretary. MEN'S DEBATE For the third successive year H. F. Schory's men's debate teams were of conference championship calibre. After floundering in the wilderness for several years Western's debate teams won the Little Nineteen Con- ference. Last year with two vet- erans of the title winning team back, James Jackson and Richard Crabb, Western placed second with several AFFIRMATIVE TEAM KIRKPATRICK AND OATHOUT THE GREEN DOOR THE CHRISTMAS PLAY iN PRODUCTION f 109 J other teams. This year last year's negative team Wayne Thompson and Richard Crabb, remained intact, and Ralph Kirkpatrick paired with John Oathout on the affirmative team. f In the conference, Kirkpatrick and Oa-thout defeated Bradley and Augustana before losing the last debate of the season to DeKalb. The negative team, Crabb and Thomp- son, won from Shurtleff, Eureka, and Old Normal. It was an unde- feated season for Crabb, who lost but a single debate in three seasons on Western,s varsity debate teams. Thompson has lost but a single de- bate in two seasons. Thompson and Oathout will return to school next year, but Crabb and Kirkpatrick are lost by graduation. The varsity team received excel- lent support from several new squad members. Everett Pyle, a junior of Kewanee, earned an award as did Hartley De Foe of Moline, and Ed- ward Rogers also of Kewanee. These men will be available for the varsity next year. The subject for debate this year was: Resolved, That the powers of the President should be substantially increased as a settled policy. ORATORY A Oratory in the past has been a winning event at Western and this year it was as strong as ever. John Fuhr won first place in the intra- mural contest and so won the right to be Western's representative in the State Teacheris College Contest. PI KAPPA DELTA'S HOMECOMING GROUP ILeft to Righty Those in the back row are: Elvyn Walty, Mary Pollock, Mrs. Ruth Talley, -Mrs. Gerold Holstine, and Ralph Kirkpatrick. Those in the second row are: Velna Sollars, James Jackson, Robert Elias, Garold Holstine, and Mrs. H. F. Schory. Those in the first row are: Richard Crabb, Vesta Keach, Floyd Utsinger, Claire Talley, Alvin Roberts, and H. F. Schory. fiioj John Oathout, last year's Winner of the Teachers' College oratorical contest, represented Western very creditably at the Pi Kappa Delta convention in Lexington and in competition with some of the best orators in the country he managed to get into the second round. EXTEMPORE SPEAKING Last year Wayne Thompson rep- resented Western in the State Teach- ers' extempore speaking contest and this year he returned and carried off first place honors. The general question this year was the farm problem and Thompson's speech was on a phase of this topic. ' Ralph Kirkpatrick was Western's representative at the Pi Kappa Delta convention and we are assured that he did a good piece of Work in the midst of such excellent competition. He also used the farm question as that was the Pi Kappa Delta topic. WOMEN'S DEBATE Resolved: That substantial grants should be made by the federal gov- ernment for public secondary and elementary education in the U. S. For the first time in a number of years Western had a Women's debate team. They debated the interesting question stated above and although not very active, nevertheless it af- fords us hope that another year may see a regular Women's team. The debaters were Ina Cox, and Annabelle Mullen affirmative, and Jane Purdum and Genevieve Nester, negative. GREEN DOOR The Green Door, Western's dra- matic organization, has been quite active this year. James Jackson, president, and Winifred Hayes, vice- president, planned some very inter- esting programs. The club pre- sented the farce Some Baby, and the drama Madame Butterfly. Members helped in the Christmas Cyle Play also. One act plays coached by members were presented at meetings and in assembly. Other officers of the club are Anna Laura Buntin, secretary, Elizabeth Bobbitt, treasurer, and Harold F. Schory, sponsor. PIKE COUNTY CLUB As a result of the diligent efforts of Anna Marie Smith, a typical Piker, and through the co-opera- tion of Miss Grote, the Pike County Club was reorganized this year, after having died out in 1929. The chief aim of the club is to promote inter- est, in the history of the club and county. The club has in years past, proved its Worth in helping students from Pike County become better ac- quainted with one another, as well as the various ideals of the school. Various social events are held throughout the year. The Hrst officers of the club, when it was founded in 1925 Were: President, Russell Hoover, vice- president, Mary Margaret Bur- bridge, secretary and treasurer, Frances Welbourne, and advisor, Miss Grote. The present officers are: president, Anna Marie Smith, vice- president, Helen Aiken, secretary and treasurer, Lyndell Welbourne, and advisor, Miss Grote. flllj WESTERN MEN'S GLEE CLUB Preceding editions of the Sequel have recorded in detail the phenom- enal growth of the Western Men's Glee Club both as to size and as to importance. Previous to 1929, the Men's Glee Club was made up of about ten members. In the fall of 1929, Mr. Silvey became a member of Western's faculty, with the posi- tion of glee club director. In that year, twenty men constituted the irst Western Men's Glee Club. From that year, the organization grew rapidly, until at present approxi- mately ninety men take part in the activities of the Glee Club. The 1933-34 program of the Glee Club was as interesting as it was varied. In the fall of the year, the club went on an overnight outing ar the Q Lake at Vermont, Illinois. The members greatly enjoyed the swim- ming, boating, baseball, horse-shoes, and bridge. Russ Hoover supplied the gang with two excellent meals. l 112 .Cn Tuesday evening, November 28, the Thanksgiving concert was presented to a capacity audience. Included in the program were such selections as Song of the Marching Men from The New Earth, by Dr. Henry Hadley, Plantation, by M. Paul Steiner, and Tschaikowsky's Praise Ye the Lordf, On January 30 and 31, and Feb- ruary 1, the Glee Club made its an- nual tour into Pike and Adams Counties. Although the club did not give so many concerts as in previous years, this trip was considered the most successful evermade. The annual Spring Concert of the Glee Club was presented Thursday evening, March 29. To the largest audience ever to attend a Spring Concert, the Glee Club sang in its program Noble Cain's Calm Be Thy Sleep, a serenade, and Chil- lun' Come on Home, a Negro spiritual by the same composer, an- I other outstanding Negro spiritual was Go Down, Moses, by Gran- ville Batnockg Wake Thee, Now, Dearestf, a Czecho-Slovakian folk song, was included in the program. On Saturday evening, April 17, glee clubs from some of the colleges of the Little Nineteen furnished en-- tertainment for an all-school dance sponsored by the Western Glee Club. The Glee Club concluded its ac- tivities of the year with its annual trip into northern Illinois. Forty- two men made up the roster. The trip lasted for twelve days, the club leaving home on April 20 and re- turning May 1. Concerts were pre- sented in Kewanee, Peoria, East Moline, and other towns in that part of the state. Three days were spent in Chicago. Two broadcasts were given-one over WENR, and the other over WGN. An afternoon formal concert was presented at the Lawson on Sunday. When writing of the spring tour, mention should be made of those two tried and true friends of the club: the bus drivers -Ernie Wendt, and Ed Zoller.

THE WESTERN ORCHESTRA OF 19 3 4 I:1l4j 3 MAC DOWELL GLEE CLUB - The Mac Dowell Glee Club under the leadership of Miss Theresa Wild has been active in promoting music on the campus for a number of years. At the close of the 1932-33 season, Shirleyanne Means was elec- ted to serve as president for the next year. Treva Leftridge was chosen for vice-president and Anna Laura Buntin for secretary-treasurer. At Homecoming time, a banquet, at which a number of alumni were present, was held at the Lamoine Hotel. In the Winter quarter the gradu- ating seniors and sophomores enter- tained the other members at a tea in the museum. ' Each year the members present a pre-Easter Concert. This year the program included an Easter cantata, The Risen King, by Schnecher, a Sonata for Violin and Pianof' played by Miss Bernice Winchester and Karl Crilly, By Babylon's Wave, Jesus Meek and Gentle, A Vesper Hymn,', Lovely Ap- pear, with a soprano- solo by Mrs. Helen Sherman, and Seraphic Song, all sung by the Glee Club.

Lf .CQ ' 'fZ f ' A .4 T STUDENT COUNCIL STUDENT GOVERNMENT Western has groups which act as representatives in student govern- ment. Probably the best known of these groups is the student council. Members are elected by the classes. Representatives this year are: Fresh- men, Sara Katherine Miller, Harold Nixon, Louise Grigsby, and John Means, Sophomores, Alma King, Vere Dawson, Sara Beth Helfrich, and Tommy Pace, Juniors, Helen McCutcheon Hulson, L a W r e n c e Laeding, Katherine Dunsworth, and John Oathoutg and Seniors, Gran- ville Blythe, Maxine Miller, James Jackson, and Pauline Anderson. John Oathout was elected president of the council and Helen Hulson secretary-treasurer. The council has charge of the ,student lounge. ,It makes the rules. governing the con- duct ,Landcare of the room.. Under this year's s council, the lounge has remainedopen most of the year and the stiadents have shown much more consideration in their treatment of the furnishings there. The council proposes the names of persons they consider worthy of the citizenship award to the faculty. It acts as an intermediary between the student body and faculty in all matters per- taining to rulings concerning the students. The Athletic Board of Control has as its student members: Pauline Davis, Lowell Gray, Joe Oitker, Geneva Mathis, Maxine Sears, Or- ville Day, Margaret Rainey, and Errett Links. This group together with the faculty members decide upon the interscholastic program of the school. ' The dance committee members usually serve as chairmen for their ' STUDENT ACTIVITY Bogixo 51161 1 . l ATHLETIC BOARD OF CONTROL own class dances, but all worked to- gether this year on the Homecoming dance. They help in making and enforcing the dance rules. Members of the dance committee are: John Stocker, Gerda Wainwright, Betty Robbit, Lyndell Welbourne, Robert Dinsmore, Wright Phillips, Gerald Hammond, and Max Murphy. For the first time this year, there have been student representatives on the committee which decides upon the program for the' lecture course. An especially fine program has been presented this year. The Philhar- monic String Quartet received many favorable comments from the stu- dents. More interest in the pro- PROG RAM COMMITTEE 51171 grams has been shown this year than ever before. Student members of this committee are: Julia Adams Vincent, Wendell Hunt, Francis Wells, and Ruth Wetzel. The student Activity Board, of which Mr. Currens is chairman has both faculty and student members. The students are: Freshmen, Ruby Kjellanderg sophomore, D o n a l d Hamm, junior, Earl Faris, and sen- ior, Berwyn Robinson. The board handles about 511,000 each year. The student activity fee has been changed two or three times since it was first collected. Several years ago it was fixed at three dollars by the Normal School Board. The Stu- dent Activity Board in preparing the budget for next year has added a new item, that of hospitalization. As a whole, the student govern- ment projects have proved quite successful and have aided much in making proper relations between the student body and faculty. VIRGIL BOLEN President Y.M.C.A. JULIA VINCENT Prcszflcnt Y.W.C.A. Y. M. AND Y. W. C. A. The religious aspect of life was represented at the college by the Y. M. C. A., one of the oldest organiza- tions upon the campus. The meetings were arranged so that a definite theme would be de- veloped. During the Winter Quar- ter the theme was Living in These Timesf, The Y. M. C. A. concen- trated its attention upon securing the best available speakers for the afternoon meetings when the crowds were largest. However, the local Y, despite the need of the campus which it is designed to meet held its social meetings, also. In the fall, in con- junction with the Y. W. C. A., it sponsored the All-School Hallowe'en Party, during the winter quarters a Christmas meeting was held at the home of one of the faculty sponsors, Dr. Neuriterg and in the spring an Easter meeting was held in the Stu- dent Lounge, and a banquet was held in cooperation with the Y. W. C. A. Y. M. C. A. officers for 1933-34 were Virgil Bolen, president, Clar- ence Richardson, vice-president, Wayne Thompson, secretary, and Granville Blythe, treasurer. 'l L8 The Y. W. C. A. is an organiza- tion which exists for the purpose of sponsoring C h r i s t i a n fellowship among the women. Miss Davis is the faculty advisor. Every two weeks the organization meets in the audi- torium to listen to a very interesting and inspiring program. Several out- side speakers have addressed the club. Rev. Appelgren talked upon Indus- try Without Moralityf' Mrs. Wal- lace Walker gave an interesting talk about the spirit of giving. To in- spire giving at the Thanksgiving sea- son, the Y. W. C. A. conducted a Vesper service at the Presbyterian church Sunday, November 26. The Y. W. C. A. also held its annual food booth at the college, where many provisions were given for the poor and needy. On Good Friday the Y. W. C. A. held a sunrise meeting at 6:30. Al- most 40 girls were present. On Wednesday, December 13, the Y. W. held a Christmas worship service. At the beginning of the new year the Y. W. C. A. started a series of studies on the life of Christ, which were both interesting and helpful. 1 s J The Diana and Bachelor Klubs are Western's outstanding social organi- zations. The Diana Klub, which was organized in the fall of 1925, had as its first officers Katharine Owens, Frances Welbourne, and June Roberts. During the fall quarter this year, the club with Sue Jean Hermetet as president, Elinor Butcher as vice- president, and Dorothy Hunt- as secretary-treasurer, was quite active. The initiation of new members was held, and for the first time pledge pins were used. An all-school barn dance held in the gymnasium was enjoyed by a large number of stu- dents. The committees in charge remember the bales of hay in partic- ular. At Homecoming time an Alumni chapter was organized with Mrs. Higgins as president and Mrs. Betty Chidester, secretary-treasurer. THE LAMOINE DIANA KLUB BANQUET 089 I THE BACHELOR KLUB OF 193 4 089 The Bachelor Klub had as its ofli- cers this year: Berwyn Robinson, president, Granville Blythe, vice- presidentg James Foster, secretary- treasurer, and Harold Bruninga, ser- geant at arms. Throughout the year various stag parties were held. The initiation ceremonies extended over several weeks. During the spring quarter, the Bachelors presented an vaudeville entitled Y, Wanna Buya Duck. The court scene with John Cathout as judge, Jim Foster and Vere Dawson as attorneys, Clyde Born as clerk of the court, Berwyn Robinson and Charles Higgs as po- licemen, and members of the club as jury and defendants was quite en- tertaining and amusing. The an! nual dinner dance was held May twelfth. The Diana and Bachelor Klubs together sponsored an all school party in the spring quarter. 119 THE WESTERN FONT AT HOMECOMING THE COURIER THE 193 3-34 STAFF Editor-Elma Cordell.

The 1934 Sequel Staff, with Berwyn! Robinson, Jane Purdum, Richard Crabb, Pauline Anderson, Francis Wells, and Charles Higgs as members, have tried to make the book one which will be enjoyed now because you are represented in it, and later because of the memories it may revive. Perhaps it will be used as a reference by some. We have tried to have an historical account of the school which is accurate. A number of the organizations have included brief histories in their write-ups. Besides che regular staff members students in other classes helped with some of the sections. Robert Landis was responsible for our index fea- ture. Wayne Thompson wrote the calendar in accordance with his work on the School History section. The members of Berwyn Robinson's sales force worked hard, and through their efforts, more orders than ever before were placed for an edition of the Sequel. Dr. Morgan, Mr. Wetzel, Miss Pottle, and Miss Hoover were an aid in their willingness to assist when asked. Mr. Sallee and Dr. Waggoner were invaluable help in getting the organization pictures. Mr. Sallee was ready to change his plans in order to get activity pictures whenever pos- sible. The Godfrey Studio is to be com- mended for their photographs. If a rush order was needed the Godfreys got it ready. Owen Marsh of the Pontiac Engraving Company helped us much in planning the book. We believe you will like the clear pic- tures the company made. The Hart- man-Jefferson Company printed the book. Frank Meidel helped us get it out in time by giving us all the help we could use in the plant. The cover of this book was designed and made by H. O. Berger Company. We ap- preciate especially the aid of Minor Smith. Although he was not in any way connected with the firms mak- ing our Sequel, he gave his time and valuable advice whenever we needed it. ' We realize the book is not perfect from a mechanical and literary standpoint-few books near perfec- tion-but we do feel that it will serve its purpose,.to act as a record of the outstanding activities of Western during 1933-34. We want you to feel that this book of yours represents a part of your own work. Your presence in school, your activities-these give the staff the necessary prerequisites for material which it collects and edits. We hope you are proud of this, your 1934 Sequel. LAKE RUTH Lizij RAYMOND HANSON Director of Athletics GO-9 The success of men's sports at Western can be largely attributed to the work of coaches Hanson and Barclay. Coach Hanson came to Western in 1926 to take charge of athletics. High places in Little Nine- teen conference basketball standings became more usual under his coach- ing. In basketball circles, he has been considered an authority. Much credit for out-ruling the slow often, uninteresting, stalling game was due to him. Great improvement in the calibre of the other -sports which he coached, football and baseball, has been noted also. Mr. Barclay coached Academy football and basketball, and the col- lege track team. His record with the Western thinly-clads has been good. The golf team, whose record was high, was coached by Dr. Waggoner. The tennis team was coached by Mr. Grilly. The interest in this sport grew rapidly and in 1934, a large number of men were competing for places on the team. Shorty Grebe, Western's Flying Dutchman of 1932, acted as an assistant coach. At the time of organization less than 20 men were eligible to join. In 1934 there were 6 S active members, with well over 150 members in this section of the state. Three members of the Western faculty, Claude Hesh, Ralph Barclay, Wayne Wetzel, and Raymond Miller were members of the Varsity Club, having won their letters while students in school. The club has undertaken a num- ber of activities. First it was the campus organization which cooper- ated in bringing the late Knute Rockne to Macomb for a day's visit. Then it sponsored the coming of the Grand Old Man of the Midway, A. A. Stagg. Dick Hanley came later for a visit. The most recent venture of the club was to sponsor the year's banner all-school dance with Maurie Sherman's band as the main attrac- tion on May 18. Qrville Day of Good Hope was president of the Club for 1933-34. THE VARSITY CLUB I f1221 FOOTBALL 19 3 3 -'34 193 3 Football Captain ARTHUR JUSTUS :N-9 The return of eleven lettermen from last year's squad plus unusually good? prospects in men transferred to Western this year, gave Coach Hanson reason enough to believe his Leathernecks would cap their third place record in the conference of last year. The Leathernecks looked as if they had power to spare in the first two games with Quincy and Knox but due to injuries received by Bar- rett and Higgs at the ends and Swit- zer, Smith and Duke at tackles, the Western team soon began to lose their spirit and dash that was char- acteristic in the first three games. Coach Hanson still contends that the Leathernecks wouldn't have lost a game if we had been fortunate enough not to have anyone on the injured list. However, no team is stronger than its reserves and due credit must be given to the team be- cause of the fact that Western played the stiffest competition in the conference. 123 Western opened the season by winning from Quincy by a score of 32 to 0. Never giving Quincy a chance to touch the ball, Western marched straight to a touchdown featured by Justus in off-tackle slashes and Brady's thrusts at the rather light Quincy line. Western scored only two touchdowns in the first half but came back in the sec- ond to score three with comparative ease. , . -..1. . Coach Hanson's Leathernecks dis- played much strength by thoroughly Atrouncing a strong Knox team in Galesburg in their first Little Nine- teen conference game of the 1933 football season. Western scored first in the latter part of the initial quarter when her ends came through. Barrett blocked a Knox punt which rolled out of bounds on the 25 yard line. Higgs took a pass from Justus and planted the ball on the 12 yard line. Justus made 9 yards off tackle on two plays 'and then Faris made a first down on a quarterback sneak. Brady finally crashed through for a touchdown after Justus and Brady had made a one-half yard on the first and second downs. Barrett's kick was blocked. The Leathernecks lost their first football game of the 1933 season when the Blue Boys from Jackson- ville eked out a 7 to 6 victory. West- ern gained a 6 to 0 advantage during the first half when Switzer blocked an Illinois College punt and Higgs recovered the pigskin on the 1 yard line. Justus plunged over center for the marker. Illinois College's touch- down was made possible when a pass from Paccotti to DeCenso netted J 1 FnANK LIMACHER It was just another tackle to me. WALTER Swrrzsn Thunder and light- ning I missed him.

Paccotti, who had been a menace to Western all afternoon, hit the center for the touchdown. Wood's place kick was good and eventually supplied the winning point in the game. The Leathernecks celebrated the annual homecoming festival with a thrilling and hard fought 7 to 6 vic- tory over Shurtleff College at Alton. Playing on a soggy and slippery Held, Coach Hanson's eleven was out- played for the most part in yards gained from, scrimmage, but man- aged to eke out a victory. Smashing through the line, Captain Art Justus smeared the ball, allowing Red Faris to recover for a score. Doyle added the extra point with a perfect place- ment. The invaders threatened in the third quarter when Jones snagged a punt and raced through the entire Western team only to be downed on the ten yard line by Frank Limacher, who came from behind to make Il beautiful tackle. ' Western's conference hopes faded as she went down before the on- slaught of the Southern Teachers, 45 to 0. Western's team did not have the pep or line drive, and Carbon- dale, moving smoothly, triumphed over the Leathernecks with ease. WILLIAM ADAMS , 1 9 3 3 -3 4 Football Manager 00-9 The Redbirds of Normal contin- ued their quest of the Little Nine- teen championship by defeating Coach Ray Hanson's Leathernecks in a hard-fought battle by a score of 26 to 7. The Leathernecks showed signs of life in the third period when they re- peatedly threw the Redbirds for losses, then pulled up through the line with Roark blocking a punt and recovering on the ten yard line. In three thrusts at the line, Brady, a sensation all afternoon, scored the only local touchdown. On the next kickoff, Cahall, standing on his own ten yard line, cut across the field and icampered the 90 yards to the goal me. Led by the rambling Marack, Augustana ran over the Western A LITTLE ACTION IN THE WESTERN-NORMAL GAME 51263 Leathernecks in their greatest vic- tory of the year. Marack scored a total of four touchdowns to stand out in front for the individual scor- ing honors in the Little Nineteen. Western completed a number of passes but all threats to score were stopped either by a fumble or a pass into the end zone. The fighting Leathernecks came to life in the last game of the season to show early season power, which had been lacking- in the last few games. They fought the champions of Iowa to a score of 14 to 7 and closed their season in a blaze of glory. Art Justus, Western's triple threat star, closed' his career in brilliant fashion. His off tackle and end run plays gained much yardage for the Western eleven. Justus carted the pigskin across the goal line in the final minutes of play for Western's WESTERN Quincy ...........

The conference final stand- ings showed Western in a tie for sixth place with nine victories and five de- feats. H Western, 26 5 St. Ambrose, 24 A Frank Merriwell finish with Willie Norval acting in the title role gave the Leathernecks a last minute decision over the Irish. The game was very rough. The outstanding moment of the close battle was in the last 60 sec- onds when, with the score knotted, Laeding shot a bullet pass to Norval under the basket to clinch the open- ing game. St. Ambrose, 46 g Western, 25 The Irish gained revenge for the previous beating by trouncing the Hansonmen soundly at Davenport. The Saints were uncanny in their shooting and led all the way. Western, 403 Iowa Wesleyan, 33 ' Playing an altogether different type of game and hitting the basket with rare regularity, the Leather- necks shoved aside the strong Iowans with ease. The shooting. of Sophomore Ted Means featured the game. He col- lected 19 points from the pivot po- sition. Western, 293 Illinois College, 25 Exhibiting a tight defense and a fast break, the boys opened the con- ference season in great style. The Jacksonville team, led by a 6 feet 10 inch center, could not pierce the great Western defensive, and regis- tered only seven goals. 11283 LAWRENCE LAEDING TOM SHORT 089 Western, 413 Carthage, 27 The Carthage games have become traditionally great battles, but the Purple outclassed their old oppon- ents with ease and decisiveness. Every Leatherneck played superb ball and Omer's team didn't have a chance. Western, 42, North Central, 22 North Central, leading the con- ference with six successive wins, failed to show much basketball and was snowed under by a smooth working Purple five, led by Tom Short and Ted Means. Knox, 26 5 Western, 18 Playing poorly on both offense and defense and further handicapped by a very slick Armory floor, the Leathernecks dropped an important game to the Siwash. The team seemed to be unable to start the powerful attack which has carried them to three previous vic- tories.

Western, 383 Shurtleif, 19 A weak Shurtleif team played beautiful ball for a half and held a desperate Purple five even, but the men of Hanson stepped up to a commanding lead soon after the second half opened and won by a nice' margin. Day was a stone wall on defense, while Means led the scorers. ' Western, 423 Milliken, 40 A thrilling, single-handed c rally by Ted Means overcame a 40-37 Milliken lead in the last two minutes to snatch victory from certain de- feat. A huge throng in Morgan gym went raving mad as the lanky soph calmly tossed in three free throws and a Held goal to ice the game. Tom Short unfortunately broke his collar bone and was lost to the team until near the end of the sea- son. DeKalb, 29, Western, 26 Western, perched in first place in the conference, lost a heartbreaker to the defending champs from Northern teachers. The champs played a deliberate type of game which was too much for the high strung, speedy Leathernecks. Johnson supplied the big moment when he iced the game on a basket with 40 seconds to play. Carthage, 35 3 Western, 33 Rising to dizzy heights, a medi- ocre Carthage team nosed out a bet- ter Western quintet and gained an adequate revenge for the terrific trouncing of early season. Western, 283 McKendree, 25 Rolling up a big lead in the first MANAGER JAMES BAILEY i half, the Leathernecks coasted through to an easy victory over the down state team. Joe Smith, Colchester long dis- tance tosser, provided the entertain- ment with five long swishers. DeKalb, 425 Western, 24 Northern Teachers proved far su- perior to a slow Western five in the return game at DeKalb. The win- ners controlled the ball most of the time, and Western, tired from five games in eight days, failed to show sufficient opposition. Western, 505 Knox, 41. Hitting a season's high scoring mark, the Leathernecks and the Si- wash tossed in shots from every an- gle. The Purple looked more like the early-season team which played so brilliantly. ' Willie Norval was the hot shot with eleven points in eight shots at the hoop. A Old Normal, 40, Western, 38 In a thrilling see-saw struggle which brought forth every type of basketball, from wonderful to terri- ble, Capt. Pim Golf led the Red Birds to a nose victory. The one- handed shooting of Old Normal was responsible for the victory. Galloway led the Purple with five snappy field goals and missed an- other by a very small margin as the game ended. Wotta game!

Led by Honorary Captain Paul Galloway, Orville Day, Lawrence Laeding and others the squad proved to be a threat' for some high places in every meet in which Western took part. Western took a long trip down to Carbondale this season. It was the first major excursion taken by a Leatherneck Cinder and field team for several years. A few more such events should encourage track activ- ities considerably. Carbondale, the most powerful team in southern and central Illinoisproved too much for Western as the Southern Teachers won a 95 to 35 victory. In the next dual meet Western proved that the Carbondale tragedy hadn't damaged the team spirit in any way when Western defeated Augustana 70 to 5 5. Knox, known for powerful track teams, earned a decision over Western in the season's final dual 7 5 to 5 5. In the teachers college meet, Gal- loway was third in the 440-yard dash, Day tied for second inthe high jump, Conklin was third in the pole vault, and Laeding was second in the discus event. In the Little Nine- teen meet, Orville Day won state honors in the high jump, clearing the bar at S feet and 11 inches. Mor- gan tied for second in the high jump. Galloway again won third in the 440-yard dash, and Waters got fifth in the javelin. , f132:I WESTERN GOLF TEAM The Golf Team finished a very successful season on May 16, 1934, by winning a close match with Illi- nois College at Jacksonville, Illinois. During the season they were beaten only by Knox, once at Macomb and at Galesburg. Two matches were won from Illinois College and two from Illinois Wesleyan. The team was comprised this year of Joseph Hoffman of Danville, Ill., Gerald Hammong, of Adair, Ill., who com- pleted his second year, the depend- able Mike Roark of Macomb, and Russell Galloway, a freshman from Keokuk, Iowa, who always gained his share of the points. Joe,', Rus, Gerry, and Mike, played in six matches this year. Red Bruninga of Macomb participated in the matches when a five-manteam was needed. D. L. Champion was in charge of the golf team during the year. .. I TENNIS The 1934 tennis team, built around two veterans, lived up to all expectations. Captain Max Murphy Hoffman, Roark, Hammond, Galloway, Champion. and Francis Wells ended their ca- reers in great fashion. The net team won four victories in a single week to establish some- thing of a record at Western. Besides Wills and Murphy, John Means of Macomb, Ted Means of Macomb, and Craig Yengst of Gales- burg were the aces of the team. 1 Western 2, Augustana, 4. 3 Western, Western, Western, Western Western, Western 3 6 5 Illinois Wesleyan, 0. 4g Augustana, 2. 6, Illinois College, 0. 45 Illinois Wesleyan, AZ.. 3, Old Normal, 6. 13 Illinois College, 5.

The playing calibre of the partici- pants was greatly increased over last year's players and the games were fast and furious, with many thrilling one or two point victories. The league was managed by James Bailey, Charles Higgs, Cecil Doyle, Brooks Tolbert, Emery J. Carter, and William Gordon, under the supervision of Coach Ray Han- son.. Well arranged schedules en- abled the play in the league to be run off smoothly and rapidly. A new idea was used this season, each man having to pay a quarter before he was allowed to play. If he partici- pated in enough games his quarter was returned, the forfeited quarters were given to the Athletic Associa- tion and used to help defray the cost of the banquet given the winning teams. V ' i Divided into two sections, the Eastern and Western leagues, with the teams named after states, the Never Sweat invited interest from the beginning as was proved by the more than one hundred and twenty men who took part in the action during the winter. After a close race in the Western league, in which the outcome was not decided until the last game had been played, Berwyn Robinson's Missouri team captured the cham- pionship of their section. In the Eastern league, Mike Roark's Vir- ginia team played the season through without a defeat. In a thrilling three game playoff for the championship, Mike's team finally won, but only after a hard fight. The league this year was bigger and better than ever and it is hoped that it will continue to grow, both in interest and in size, in the years to come. fun junior, and captain of the winning team, received the most valuable man award. The most improved player award was given to Brayton Danner and the sportsmanship award to Harold Bale. Three All-Star teams were an- nounced. Berwyn Robinson was named on the first All-Star team for the third successive year. Other members of this team were: Maurice Roark Ccaptainj , Morton Evans, Buford Daniel, and Reginald Syrcle. Second All-Star Team: Harold Bale. Kennett Shields Louis Ogden. Third All-Star Team: Kay Weaver. Maurice McGinnis. Lozelle Cleaves. Gerald Bryant. Frank Limacher. INTER-CLASS TRACK The Sophomore Class ran off with the annual track meet. The class got 61 M points, Freshman class HM, Junior class 34 points, and the Senior class earned only S points. ' The result of the track meet showed that the team would not suf- fer much by graduation this year and that they had some very good mate- rial in the freshman and sophomore classes. In the high jump, four fresh- men tied for first at 5 feet 11 inches which is very good for any team. The mile and two mile were won by a freshman by the name of Coon who ran with the poise and ease of a veteran. Venters, a transfer from Illinois, won both the pole vault and the high hurdle. Sequel Prediction for 1934-'35 The Sequel takes the unprecedent- ed liberty to make a daring predic- tion for the 1934-'35 cage season. Due to: 1. Oitker and Galloway, the fast- est men on any floor, 2. Day, a tow-headed center who can't be outjumped when he cares to exert himself, 3. Laeding and Means, two of the best high scoring guards in the con- ference, . 4. Norval, Reynolds, and Venters, hard fighting reserves who should play great ball in the future, and 5 . Woods, Robbins, and Elder, who will be eligibleto play next sea- son and are the greatest oifensive trio in amateur ball throughout this sec- tion, The Sequel predicts a high scoring machine, the like of which the Little 19 has never seen, that will bring the Conference Championship to West- ern. MISSOURI TEAM--SECOND PLACE 113511 Q WOMEN'S SPORTS -1 ' Miss Sharp, head of the Women's Physical Education department, came to Western in 1925.

Their first president was Marjorie Greener, vice-president, Mildred Breckenmaker, secretary, Jeannette Harden, treasurer, Min- nabel Switzer, hiking captain, Helen Erickson, baseball captain, Nancy Kirkpatrick, and track captain, Helen Erickson. The present offic- ers of the W. A. A. are president, Evelyn Brackeveld, vice-president, Maxine Sears, secretary, Dorotha G.A.A. GYPSY HIKE Dennis, treasurer, Norma Green, point head, Helen McCutcheon Hulsong and their sponsor, Miss Sharp. When the organization was f1rst founded, both college and academy girls belonged to the club, but with the organization of the G. A. A. the academy girls became members in their own organization. The first sport offered in the W. A. A. was basketball. It was not until 1923 that there was no longer interscho- lastic basketball for the girls. The W. A. A. aims to promote interest in sports for women. Each quarter at least two sports are of- fered for the girls in. college. Tour- naments between the various classes are sponsored in hockey, soccer, bas- ketball, and baseball. A girls' tennis tournament is sponsored in the spring. At the beginning of school the club sponsored a party for all the girls of the college. Usually this is a gypsy hike, but due to rainy weather the party was held in the Women,s Gymnasium. The annual initiation banquet was held during the winter quarter before the Christmas vaca- tion. One 'big event in the school year was the Adamless dance which is greatlyenjoyed. The gymnasium, which was decorated to look like a ship's deck, was Hlled with girls in nautical outfits. Hartman's orches- tra furnished the music. The senior girls of the club were in charge of the installation banquet, held at the Hotel Lamoine. flssj A dsffm HE development of Western Academy ,AMT-fi has been strange and interesting. During the early ffkffg-'3 lT'f-3,W- days of the school there was very little differentiation between the Academy and the two college classes. Athletic teams were made up of both Acade- my and Normal School students, and on most teams the Academy held down most of the positions. Years later as Western commenced to take on the appearances of a four year college the Academy courses and athletics were sep- arated. The students of the two branches con- tinued to mingle freely in school activities. After the athletic teams I .W fniisfgyxq ,Qfaea-'55 ir A recent step in this direction has been the editing of the Academy yearbook by Academy students. Last year and this year the college Sequel staffs have allotted the Academy a certain num- ber of pages and the Academy editor has selected and prepared the mate- rial for the section. The business of the book has been handled by an Academy business manager. Last year it was necessary for the college staff to lend considerable as- sistance in the produc- tion of the Academy book, but this year all of the editorial and pic- torial material has been entirely prepared by the editor, Robert Reno. Dean Knappen- berger has discharged the business of the book efficiently. Mr. Thisted has also been closely as- Nil u gg 'R gf' f H -fa L ?

Not until the past ten years did the present form. It was impossible to lend any great degree of individuality to the Academy until it was lodged in its own quarters in 1929. D. A. Podoll had been appointed principal a few years before, and he made every attempt to segregate the school's functions and to build up an Acade- my life for the pupils. Progress be- came more rapid once the change in locations was made. M. N. Thisted became principal of the Academy two years ago. Under Mr. Thisted's direction the school has assumed individuality heretofore un- known. Social customs and tradi- tions have been developed. The most sociated with the Aca- demy yearbook work. The editor remarked recently that not during the entire year had Mr. Thisted failed or refused to assist in every possible way with the produc- tion of the Academy yearbook. It is this type of cooperation that en- ables students to successfully con- duct their out-of-the-classroom activities. During the year just past the Aca- demy has enjoyed success in many fields. The school was represented by the most powerful basketball team in recent years, winning the coveted city series from Macomb High School. In the field of forensic en- deavor Academy students set new marks for attainment. The debate teams were particularly successful. TO EDGAR ALLEN PCE Oh haunted soul, O sorrow laden heart! But thou in patterning thy noble mind, With all this pain and sorrow had no part g For thou in beauty didst thy solace find. To weaknesses of flesh a man must yield, But souls may climb to higher spheres than this, And wander in the far Elysian field Among the beauties of eternal bliss. So thou, oh lover of the good and fair, Didst leave the ugliness of earthly sin, And sought to enter realms beyond the air. The doors were opened and you entered in. Teach me thy key to beauty and to life, That I may, too, be freed from earth's hard strife NOTE: This poem, written by Miriam Icenogle, was awarded first place in the Academy O 1 P Contest. M. N. THISTED Academy Principal ADMINISTRATION At the conclusion of his second year as Academy principal, Mr. Thisted has Won a permanent place in the hearts of the Academy stu- dents. He will long be remembered for his smile, his fairness and frank- ness in dealing with problems, his Willingness to cooperate, and his in- terest in Academy activities of any kind. Academy students feel that they have broadened themselves and made a valuable friend in making I 141 the acquaintance of Mr. Thisted. Another member of the Academy faculty who has just finished her second year in the Academy is Miss Watters, who likewise has Won for herself a permanent place in the Academy picture. She has been a great booster for Academy and has been interested fully in seeing Acad- emy become successful in various fields this year. Academy is really very fortunate DEAN OF ACADEMY GIRLS HILDA WATTERS to have such a learned and pleasing group of teachers. There is Mr. Horrabin, with his formulas and problems in chemistry and physics, Miss Davis, who struggles to make Academy students polished linguists: Miss Shriver and her x's, y's, and z's: Misses Hoover, Vawter, and Zenor, who have done their best to make us appreciate and know the English language: Miss Bennett and her bird-chasers: Mr. Miller, Mr. Wet- zel, Miss Bonham, Miss Colby, who hope that someday we shall be pro- ficient craftsmeng Miss Blegan, a new-comer this year: Mr. Silvey, and the others who haveahad pa- tience with us. It is these people whom we wish to honor, for after all, it is the faculty that helps make Western Academy all that it is.

The favorite radio programs seems to be Wayne King,s orchestra and Eddie Cantor with joe Penner running a close second with Jan Garber. Dancing and athletics rank highest as the favorite outside di- versions of Academy students. The sequence of classes that the majority of the Seniors 'have enjoyed most during their four years in the Acad- emy seems to be physics and chem- istry.

THISTED The Rostrum is the organization of the Academy which sponsors all kinds of public speaking. Besides their all-important workin this field, they also presented programs for the Academy assembly and had several social activities on their calendar. The officers for the Rostrum were: Mary Margaret Gould, president, Bill Grigsby, vice-president, Joyce Lath- erow, secretary-treasurer. Academy was well represented in individual speaking also. In the County Contest Lynn Sallee won third place in boys' humorous decla- mation and Margaret Wfarnhoff was the girls' dramatic declamation con- test. At the Military Tract contests Bob Robinson won third in boys' hu- morous declamation and Darlene Carroll spoke in the original oration group. In the sub-district contests Academy was represented by Vir- ginia Welch, Margaret NVarnhoff, Darlene Carroll, and Robert Robin- son in, respectively, oratory, dra-- matic declamation, original oratory and humorous declamation. The Academy debate squad en- joyed the most successful season in the history of the school, not only in the light of the number of debates won, but also in the light of the num- ber of students who received actual forensic experience by taking part in debates., Richard Crabb, who has di- rected the Academy debate squad for the past two years, issued the first call for debaters early in October, and twenty-five persons answered the an- nouncement. After a few weeks of preliminary work the large group was divided into varsity and B squads. The question for debate in Illinois this year was: Resolved, That the United States should adopt the es- sential features of the British system of radio control and operation. The first debate of the season was a practice 'event with Keokuk High School on February 9. The meeting marked the opening of forensic rela- tions between the two schools. Mem- bers of the affirmative team were Betty Lou Falder, first speaker, Dean Knappenberger, second speaker, and William Grigsby, third speaker. The rebuttal order was the same. The members of the negative team were Darlene Carroll, first speaker, Miriam Adams, second speaker, and Eileen X THE ROSTRUM 51493 Fleming, third speaker. These teams later became the regular varsity de- bate teams. A WIN FROM GALESBURG ' The teams from Monmouth High came to Macomb for another non- decision practice debate on February 16. This encounter resulted in more valuable experience for the inexperi- enced Academy teams. Then on Feb- ruary 21-'the Academy opened for- ensic relations with Galesburg High School. The affirmative team went to Galesburg and earned the decision, given by a critic judge from Knox College. The Academy negative lost a decision to the Galesburg affirma- tive team in Macomb. Miriam Ice- nogle substituted for Eileen Fleming in this debate and did very well. Two WINS FROM BOWEN After a short period of intensive drill the Academy teams met Bowen in a dual encounter. The negative team made the trip to Bowen and won the debate as did the Academy aflirmative team. Both decisions were three to nothing. Early the next week Academy and Colchester divided decisions, the Academy af- firmative winning in Macomb. . RUSHVILLE ANOTHER VICTIM On March 6 the Academy team met Rushville, winning another twin victory. The negative team went to Rushville, winning a unanimous ver- dict. The Academy affirmative team won a two to one decision in Ma- comb. This debate was followed by a ten day vacation from debating ac- tivities. On March 23 the Academy B teams opened their season by rep- resenting the school in the district tournament, which was held at Wes- WIN OVER JACKSONVILLE tern. The affirmative B team was composed of Virginia Welch, first speaker and a freshman, Dean Knap- penberger, second speaker, and Mi- riam Icenogle, third speaker and manager. The negative team was composed of Robert Campbell, first speaker, Eileen Fleming, second speaker, and Darlene Carroll, third speaker. Each of these teams won a signal victory during the day. The affirmative defeated the B negative team in the morning, losing to the Kewanee team in the afternoon. The negative team lost to the Monmouth affirmative in the morning, but came back in the afternoon to inflict a de- feat upon the Jacksonville aihrmative team, which latter won second place in the state. FINISH AT MASON CITY I On March 27 the teams, accompa- nied by Principal M. N. Thisted and Mrs. Carle Crabb, went to Mason City for a dual debate. The negative team won in the afternoon debate, giving the Academy's -outstanding performance of the year. In the eve- ning the Academy affirmative team lost to the Mason City negative. The Academy debaters and guests were entertained at a banquet given in the high school building between debates. The third set of Academy teams met teams of Oquawka High School. The affirmative team composed of Ruby Jennings, Virginia Welch, and Elmer Icenogle lost while the Acad- emy negative team, composed of Sterling Simpson, Martha Hillyer, and Betty Lou Falder won. The de- baters enjoyed a picnic on the Mis- sissippi north of Oquawka after the debates. 5150.1 DARLENE CARROLL CAPTAIN In the course of the season the Academy varsity teams Won ten out of thirteen debates, and the B teams Won three of six contests. Fourteen students took part in actual inter- school debates. At a banquet held at the Lamoine Hotel the debaters eX- pressed their appreciation of the kindly assistance of Mr. Thisted, Mr. Eg D. Grigsby, and of the coach, Richard Crabb, especially. It was also announced at this banquet that Darlene Carroll had been elected honorary captain of the debate group.

After Winning its way through the sub-district and the district contests, the mixed chorus won first place in che Class C State Final Music Contest, competing against che best choruses in the state. The girls' chorus also got to the state finals, after singing successfully in the preliminary con- tests. Both groups were very ably directed by Mr. Clel Silvey. An orchestra-band Was organized last fall, under the direction of Mr. Linder. Several college students also assisted with the Work. A wide va- riety of music Was mastered by the orchestra. They presented several programs-for the Academy assem- bly, during the district basketball tournament, and in the orchestra en- semble during the state contest week. With a large number of the mem- bers back next year, Academy can look forward to an eventful year in music. ACADEMY CHORUS l 1 51521 THE MASQUERS PRESENT THE KNAVE OF HEARTS MASQUERS This year the Masquers, Academy's dramatic organization, presented several one-act plays in order that more people might obtain experience in dramatic Work. The Knave of Hearts was given for the college and Academy assemblies as was Sauce for the Goslingsf' Cabbages. The Masquers were responsible for a tea- dance and a dance in the Museum after the Academy-Hamilton bas- ketball game. G. A. A. Beginning their activities by a pic- nic at the Bluffs, the G. A. A. enjoyed a very successful year. The seniors were victorious in the class basket- ball tournament that was held in the Winter. A ring-tennis tourney was held in the spring. Natural dancing was also offered as an activity of the G. A. A. Many of the girls took part in the college dance drama. New members Were initiated in the student lounge. , G.A.A. fissj ACADEMY BASKETBALL The Academy basketball team ex- perienced its most successful season in recent years, not only in the number of games won, but also in its record on its home floor and in defeating Macomb High three times, a long- waited-for victory. At the begin- ning of the season Coach Barclay had almost the entire team back from the previous season. The Hrst games were played, and won, on a two-day trip to Port Byron and Cordova. The team worked fairly well, but several phases of the game needed polishing. In the first home game of the season, the Acads defeated their old rivals, Good Hope, by a decisive score, 37- 21. The only other games before the holidays were played on another two- day trip into Pike County. In the first game, against Pittsfield, Acad- emy did not click well and was de- feated, 47-23. The next night the boys came back strong to whip Barry 45-33. In these games most of the Academy points were scored by the Academy front line-Magraw, Lar- ner, and Reno.

Academy had not defeated Macomb High for four years. An underdog Academy team Went to the Junior High gym to meet Macomb again. Macomb scored first on a free throw, but never again in that torrid battle did they lead the fighting Academy team. The Acads played a cool brand of ball, sinking shots with deadly aim. When the final minute rolled around, Academy led by four points, but, as the over-packed gym turned into a mad-house, Macomb crept up. As the gun sounded, Acad- emy had won over Macomb High by the score of 27-26. It was the first victory in five years, but ask any of the members of that Academy team, revenge is sweet when it comes. After that game, Academy let down a little when they played Bar- dolph the next week-end, but won by a 26-20 score. Four days later Academy entered the County Tournament at Colches- ter, being the only undefeated team in the county. In the first game the Acads met Good Hope, whom they had previously beaten. They played THE BASKETBALL SQUAD . T012 Row: Callahan, Sharpe, B. Reno, Herbert, Anderson. Middle Row: Thompson, McClellan, Maguire, Wetzel, jones. Botfom Row: Ward, Larner, Magraw, R.

When the game was over Academy found that they had been defeated, 29-30. On Saturday morning play in the conso- lation bracket began. In the Hrst game Academy came from far be- hind to beat Colchester in an over- time, 32-26. That same afternoon they defeated Industry 31-14. That I 155 night, in their third game of the day, Academy met Good Hope, the team Who had put them out of the tourna- ment, again. The game was some- what ragged, as final tournament games are liable to be, but it was a thriller. It ended 25-25, and the Academy boys had to play their sec- ond overtime of the day. Academy led 30-29 with only a few seconds to go. Day of Good Hope made a bas- ket that was supposed to have been J shot before the horn, muffled by the noise, sounded. A week later, Academy started out again by defeating Bushnell 30-18, keeping their record on the home court clean. After a week of rest Academy met Macomb High for the second time, this time the game being on the home floor. The Macomb team, weakened by graduation, was still given a chance by some to even the score with Academy. The first part of the game was extremely close. Academy led by quarters, 5-2, 11-8, and 17-14. When the final period came, Academy really got warmed up. The Acads tore loose with a shooting attack that netted them 16 points in the final eight minutes, while Macomb was making only four. Macomb had been beaten again, and Academy was the City Champs again. Don McClellan re- injured his knee in the game, though, and was lost until the District, and Russ Larner injured his eye before the game. The next night Academy played Good Hope in the small Good Hope gym. The Acads were really out for blood in this game, and suc- ceeded in defeating Good Hope 26- 21, in a rough game. The next game was lost to Industry, a team that had been beaten badly before. Academy failed to click at all in that game. The Hnal two games were on the home floor, and Academy was anxious to maintain its record of no losses on the home floor. In the first, an over- rated Plymouth team was defeated 33-17 in a game that was close the first half. The next week Academy faced the strong Hamilton team, who had been defeated only once. Acad- emy grabbed an early lead, but at half-time Hamilton led 19-14. Com- ing back strong in the final half, Academy tied the score several times but lost, their only defeat in Morgan Gym, by a score of 28-26. The game was close and hard-fought through- out. Shanty Magraw, center, was high scorer of the year. Bob Reno was sec- ond, with 15 5 points and Russ Larner ranked third. At a banquet at Coach Barclay's soon after the season Bob Reno, regular forward for three years, was elected honorary captain of the 1933-1934 Academy basket- ball team. The following boys re- ceived letters: Russ Larner, Shanty Magraw, Bob Reno, Bill Ward, and Ralph Wetzel, seniors, Don McClel- lan and Oral Gallaher, juniors, Rob- ert Robinson, manager.

The remaining two games on the, schedule were lost to the strong Table Grove and Media teams by 24-0 and 32-0 scores.

The first eight grades have critics who have helped many students to pass that first exciting and sometimes dreaded first practice teaching. Miss Cooper, principal of the lower grades, has trained many successful Western graduates. Miss Schannenk always had an interesting project be- ing worked out in her room. Miss Pence could usually be seen with a group of her small pupils around her enjoying her pleasant conversation. Miss Brown, a newcomer at Western this year, always had a pleasant smile and greeting for those who worked with her. Miss Porter, that tiny little teacherf' showed a large size was not necessary for a good teacher. Miss Foster could usually be found somewhere in the vicinity of the west end of the first floor corridor advising some student teacher on her work. Miss Huston was English critic in the upper grades. Miss Mitchell has charge of the history in the upper grades. The upper grade arithmetic is supervised by Miss Duncan. Miss Thompson is princi- pal of the upper grades. She is also critic for general science and geog- raphy. Miss Wild and Mr. Silvey super- vised the music in the grades, Mrs. Strome, the art, and Miss Potter, the physical education. Tom Short, a college student, has charge of the boy's playground activities. Mr. Bailey had charge of the rural training schools. Four schools, Adair grades, Fairmont, Crown Point, and Prairie Hill, were supplied by Western practice teachers. Mr. Albert Burgard, Mr. Vernon Litch- field, Miss AbbieeFrey, Mrs. Mary Chandler, and Mrs. Mabel Stauifez were critics at these schools. This de- partment, with Mr. Bailey as leader, is responsible for the Rural Progress Day.

For several years the num- ber of students desiring practice teaching in some of the Academy classes had been so great that the number of teachers almost equaled that of the students. An experi- ment was tried during the spring quarter which tended to remove some of the congestion. Some of the senior students were sent to Good Hope to do their teaching. It Was hoped that this plan could be car- ried out again in the future. Lowisn Giumns 51621 . l J! Wgef 5J!5EoCj2'1i1-3,5 Wag! BMZ FWZ! 1:7 .1 Mt! ,A Y Qjf r aj '!,.,f ' s f N 7 bf...
