In the same manner the different elements have gone into the making of this United States. The Indian, the Missionary, the Immigrant have all done their part to make our country what it is today. It takes more than one element to make a great nation. Thus it takes more than representatives from one section to make a successful college and as you take this little journey through the Epitome may you learn to better appreciate our great national motto Cut of the many one. DEDICATION y To Professor Clarence R. Smith whose loyalty and devotion to Aurora College is deep and sincere, who has Worked quietly and earnestly for her advancement, we the classy of 1930 dedicate this Epitome number of The Pharos.

With .Guy Cod- ding as president and Charlie Singleterry, Charlcie Singleterry, and Doris Blanchard filling the three remaining offices, and with Prof. Kearney as adviser, the class of ,31, composed of fifty-one members, started one of the happiest and most enthusiastic of its years at Aurora. Perhaps the fact that green, as Well as being the traditional Fresh- man color, is also Irish accounts for the Irish class day and class play we presented. Needless to say on the First occasion we needed all the Irishman's far-famed pugilistic abilities to protect us. As Sophomores we felt suddenly very wise and grown. With a viewpoint de- cidedly changed we endeavored to put away childish things. Under the leadership of Elmer Lull we proceeded to introduce the freshmen to Aurora. Ruth Watson was chosen as class scribe and George Arthur guarded the class treasury. Doris Blanchard was Vice-President until she was called home and then her position was filled by Ruth Tallmadge. We still clung to the British Isles, giving a Scotch class day and a play predominantly Irish. We were well represented in athletics, both girls, and boys', and for the remainder of our social life We turned to parties and steak frys. The officers of the past year have been George Arthur, Ruth Singleterry, Dorothy Dotzauer, and Thelma Crouse. We have all felt a greater responsibility this year in the general activities of the college. Maiiy of our members have held positions in the Senate, on the Pharos Staff, and in the Various societies. We have had fine representa- tives in the sports, Jack Thornton, Chuck Anderson, and Ken Andrews among the fellows, and of the girls, Juanita Demick, Charlcie Singleterry, and Thelma Crouse. For our class play we presented a three-act English comedy, Green Stockings. This was followed by class day and then the last and greatest undertaking of the year, the Junior-Senior banquet. Now as we look forward to our last year it is with an earnest desire to make it more worthwhile for ourselves and for the college than any of the previous years have been. it if B?-:?:g'I930 ' -L: Tfwenty-three ea pitomel 2- Fourth rofw: Perkins, Hall, Fuller, Alexander.

All manner of transportation agencies united in carrying this cargo to Aurora. In the first week of September, 1928, it was delivered+charges collect! Immediately upon arrival, these thirty-six raw eggs were the center of interest of the whole school. At first they signified nothing more than so many question-marks to the curious upper-classmen. What they were to become individually and collective- ly was a question which only Time and the Fates could answer. And now, after two years of progressive becoming, their destiny yet remains in the realm of uncertainty. The new three dozen, after much scrutinization and speculation on the part of the three other classes, finally came into their own and were formally joined to the body scholastic at New Students' Reception, September 14, l928. This was accomplished, however, only after an intensive period of incubation administered under the guise of initiation. These newly-hatched youngsters were not long in attracting the attention of their fellow-students for other and better reasons than mere curiosity. They successfully manipulated their first steak-fry, flag-raising, and class day program despite sophomoric obstacles. They sent forth seven stalwart sons to fight for their newly-acquired foster mother on the gridiron. And willingly were their many talents devoted to the enter- tainment of the Literary Society. They further exhibited prowess of mind and mettle by scholastic and athletic achievements. ' After the group had become well-acquainted one with another, it was decided to unify and organize. Thereupon, a caucus was held, aims and by-laws were agreed upon, and leaders were chosen. Curtis MacLean was to head the organization 5 Martha Cleary was next in controlg Emma Reichert kept the records, while Miriam Watkins kept the cash. Professor Hewitt was chosen class-adviser. The dramatic talent of these beginners that had Hashed to the amazement and amusement of their older mates was concentrated in a cast of rare excellence, which performed on two occasions with surprising success a three-act play entitled Cin- derella O'Reilly. Class and interclass parties also studded the social calendar. When June came around the three dozen spring chickens were returned to cold storage for three months, but only two dozen survived to carry on the class activity for another year. Three new sophs were added in September, but three others were sub- tracted in January. During the second year of the organization, its members were called sophomores, its play was called Billy, and its social activity was called a huge success. Its mem- bers were called upon to contribute to school life in many fields and they always re- sponded willingly. New leaders were chosen for the groups: Three Aurorans-Evelyn Lull, Ma1'Y Jane Otte, and Wilbur Murra--became under-oH'icers whereas the president, Mr. Phil Ayton, was imported from the Pacinc Coast. The verdant frosh had to be acclimatedg now the mature sophs had to be sophisti- cated. And, indeed, they have more than lived up to their name. Twenty-three have reached the half-way mark in college education as the class of '32 now withdraws for the summer to undergo its next stage of metamorphosis. ,L -r - IQj0: 'f'fi5- QE , --.

Who was responsible? just a bunch of kids coming down the avenue to Qunnecessarilyj proclaim themselves freshmen and to give the school a break by announcing their presence. From fall appearance of the chronological history of their first week it seemed that it was the gay sophs who were to do the breaking-and how they could break. They insisted that frosh men get in shape for higher things by immediately starting road work fby the light of a celestial moonl. Education started at once and the experi- ences of some began to broaden immediately on that first beautiful night of their gay little lives to be spent six in a cell at a unique Fox River valley jail house. Aren't freshmen fortunate creatures? However, time passes and New Students Reception features the '33-ers in all their youthful array. They de1ight,in meeting those long faced profs and the accommodat- ing upper class dignitaries. After this occasion they are permitted to organize and con- centrate power. Wayne Gilman is elected president, Rachel Bishop, Vice-Presidentg Virginia Cass, Secretary, Owen Stephens, Treasurer. Nor would this tale of woe be complete without mention of class day. Weill always remember that the green and white flag never faltered in clinging to the standard, in spite of the Sop-h sharp shooters and their implements of warfare. It held its own like no other Frosh flag had ever done. After all the thrill and glory of beginning came that long grind- of study and prep- aration for which they left their mother's apron strings to pursue. Out of this long period of work flash a few high spots, never to be forgotten. Among these are the kid party given by the sister class, the freshmen as hosts to the Literary Societyg then playing the same role in entertaining the Juniors 3 those glorious steak frys. Then came Oliver Goldsmith's She Stoops to Conquer by a frosh cast. Do the freshmen have dramatic artists? Ask those who witnessed their production. Now comes the glory of ending this first year.

The personnel of the group was somewhat changed by the entrance of the following students: Paul Friedman and Russell Huggins from New Britain, Connecticut, Marion Dominy and Esther Mitchler from Aurora. Helen Colton, a former Aurora Prep, also returned, this time to take her diploma with her. There are five graduating from the Academy this year: Hazel Pugh, Miary Perkins, Helen Colton, Esther Mitchler, and Albert Berkowitz. This is the largest number of Academy graduates since 1927. Malay of those graduating intend to enter Aurora College in the fall. 1T UJL'Ilf:'V-Big!!! - -it ? 'pit011t0 ACADEMY GRADUATES HELEN COLTON Elva, Illinois.

THE SENATE The Student Senate is composed of the four OHTCCTS of the Student Association, representatives from the Literary Society, and from the Athletic Association. Leon Bohy is President of both the Senate and Students Association. The Senate administrates over the Students Association and formulates and car- ries out the plan of the budget. A meeting is called soon after school starts in the fall and plans are drawn up for the ensuing year, keeping in mind the condition of the treasury and the needs of the current school administration. For expenditures which are unforeseen there is a reserve fund which may be used at the discretion of the Senate. The Senate has the power to deal With violations of the constitution and to in- terpret the Students, Association Constitution. The Work of the Senate is carried on by three standing committees, the commit- tee on finance, the committee on athletics, and the committee on societies. Elections for new members from each body represented are held in the spring of the year. Tllirly-lfwo Q pitonwe I Standing: Lull, Singleterry, Armour. Sitting: Ramer, Crouse.

It is at the various parties sponsored by this society that the entire student body is brought together in an informal manner. Friday night is traditional Lit night at Aurora. This year the program committee has had to. face the problem of arranging a schedule that would bring new and original ideas and has also been working under the handicap of having no musical organizations to draw from. How- ever, this year the classes have produced especially fine p1'Og1'21IDS of a dramatic nature and the committee has been very fortunate in securing several delightful programs from Maud Myers dramatic art class. A new feature was added two yea1's ago in the Zllay Festival which is one of the most beautiful programs of the year. Une of the most important duties of the Literary Society is the editing of The Phzzros. An effort has been made this year to have this a more literary magazine in order to make it a more all-round paper. In ending a word should be said of the great credit due to the man behind the scenes, the stage manager, Charlie Singleterry whose faithful work has helped much in the successful presentation of our dramatic programs. - C 1-ai-.

E arl Nash Advertising Manager ........................................ John Thornton THE PHAROS for the past year found itself alone in the field of Aurora College publica- tions, due to the discontinuance of the Hofwl. And so it became even more significant as the medium through which all college life expressed itself. Essays, poems, stories, and b-ook reviews appeared regularly in the magazine section, which was under the supervision of Ruth Tallmadge, feature editor. Catherine Sampson was chieliy responsible for the poetry, and Katherine Oliver for the book reviews. The editorials of Dorothy Dotzauer and VVilbur Murra, and the I VVonder column of George Knightly kept the student mind on the alert with pertinent comments and criticisms. And in the Borealis the whole student body found a record of its doings and designsg here were comprehensive news items and articles, well-spiced with campus humor. A staff of fifteen reporters was engaged in contributing to this section, Charles Anderson, as sports editor, regularly had two pages to himself. Various new features were added to the content of THE PHAROS for the past year: I Wonder, book reviews, original poetry, and the Campus Chatter column. Feature articles by Ruth Tallmadge and George Hall were regular favorites. The results of the pretentious student opinion questionnaire added much of real interest to the last numbers. Moreover, the appearance of the magazine was greatly enhanced by the introduction of new types. The business end of the publication this year was ably handled by Earl Nash, business manager, and Jack Thornton, advertising manager. These men secured more advertising than had ever before appeared, and so greatly helped out the financial situation. At the head of the whole organization just outlined was the editor, Dovothy Dotzauer, whose untiring executive and editorial efforts entitle her to the utmost praise for the success of her publication.

The aim of this club is to promote an interest, not only in the French language, but also in the art, music, and literature of France, and to give a practical, social use of spoken French. In order to secure this end, meetings are held every month at which varied programs of biography, book reviews, music and songs, and French games are given. Several new features have been added to the club this year. A Written constitue tion has been drawn up, a system of dues providing for a registration fee has been organized, and a club song, Le Chant du Cercle Francais, was written by our adviser, Miss Fernberg. This past year has been especially profitable and We hope for even a better next year. Tllirly-.fix - 2 pitome- fe A TT f-A if l Fourth rofw: Pratt, Raines, Burns, Hall, Kess.

R obert Burns Secretary and Treasurer .... .... C harlcie Singleterry Aurora College had long felt the lack of an organized dramatic group. Participation in class plays, which was necessarily limited, was practically the only dramatic training offered. This year with the music department limited the need was felt even more. So initiated and advised by Leila Evans an Interpretation Class was organized. Among the subjects studied have been the history of the drama, the one act play, well known playwrights, make-up, pantomime, and comedia del' arte. At Christmas time two one act plays, Suppressed Desires and Why the Chimes Rang were given in Literary Society. This Spring the Class presented another one act play, The Wonder Hat. This was given in the school where Nellie Peterson '29 is teaching and also at the May festival. Several parties and social functions were held and while the group met only once a week a great deal of enjoyment and value was received by those participating and it is hoped that the Interpretation Club will survive as an institution at Aurora College. . -:Teil A 3' - .- - -.5 Thirty-sefven 5 :.3 to e ee A pitomef 5' gf-1 THE COLLEGE CHURCH The College Church may be truly classed as an organization of the Aurora Col- lege. W7hen as Freshmen We came to Aurora it was one of the first places with which we became acquainted and as the days have passed the Church and the people in it have meant more and more to us. V Besides being an inspiration to us, the Church has provided a place Where those who teach may have experience and those with musical talents may find an outlet for their ability. ln thinking of the church we cannot forget the person who perhaps more than anyone else has made possible the spirit of fellowship and that is the pastor, Reverend T. P. Stephens. VVe know him not only as the pastor of our church but as one of us. He makes our problems his problems and strives to help us in any way that he can and to him the student body of Aurora College is deeply grateful.

At the start it was necessary to build up an entire new backfield as all of last year's backs were lost through graduation. Those who wit- nessed this year's teams saw a perfectly balanced backfield which worked with fine precision. The Spartan backfield was composed of George Knightly, quarterbackg Paul Kess, halfbackg George Stephens, halfbackg and the smashing fullback from Lawrence, Massachtisetts, George Hall. Coach Snell was some better off in veteran material for the line and a stalwart line was formed composed of Phil', Ayton and Jack Thornton, ends, Cecil Raines and Capt, Clayt Day, tackles, and Chuck,' Anderson at center. Too much credit cannot be given to lVIanager Curtis MacLean for his untiring work on the behalf of the team. 'Turku was always on hand ready to assist in any way that he could. A Many of the followers of the 1929 eleven say that it was the best eleven ever turned out 'at Aurora. The season started out poorly, the Hrst game being called for September 28. We were defeated by two touchdowns in this encounter. The team looked ragged and clearly showed lack of training. Cn their second start Snell's charges were confronted with a fast team from the Illinois Military School at Abingdon, Illinois. Although the team play was con- siderably improved they lost this game by a 12-7 score. Hall, Day, Thornton, and Knightly were the ones who put up the best scrap for the Aurorans. Some one has said that everything comes to them that wait and for the first time in the history of Aurora this fighting Aurora team defeated our arch rivals, Wheatoii College at Wheaton. The score was I2-7. The team went like a machine and everyone had a part in a well deserved victory. ' O-n the following Saturday the Spartans determined to do or die as they jour- neyed up to Great Lakes Naval Academy at Great Lakes, Illinois, to take on the scrappy sailors from that institution. Both teams were evenly matched and battled -2 ga ' il930EL A is -he ia- 4, A Forty-one -, :L-' if lx 3 ' TT 'ri' :Er to a scoreless tie. Both teams had the ball within their opponents ten yard line but failed to score. Hall and Thornton, termed the Massachusetts terrors starred for Aurora. Hall again proved himself a hard man to stop and made much of Au- rora's yardage. Thornton played his usual fighting game at end. Captain Day and Anderson also showed up well. Aurora's iron man team went through this game without a substitution. As the Spartans reached mid-season they seemed to pack the pep and punch needed to win ball games and they proved it in the next three games. LaSalle Col- lege came up the Fox River to meet the Snellites and went back down the river a much subdued group of young men. The final score was Aurora 26, LaSalle O. We aren't exaggerating when we say that the local College ran wild over LaSalle. George Knightly again proved himself to be one of the greatest stars of football history at Aurora. He is a real triple threat artist. Stephens, Fleming, Raines and Kess did very good work in this fray. Aurora completed ten out of the Hfteen passes and fourteen first downs. Too much cannot be said of the Blue and White linemen. Then November 2, Concordia College of Chicago, a team which we always de- light in whipping, came to Patterson Field and took a 25-26 drubbing. Then, too, Lisle went down before the seemingly unbeatable Aurora eleven 20-OJ The final game of the season was played at Chicago where Crane College defeated the Spar- tans 20-0. Much credit is due the second team of Aurora who every afternoon, through rain, snow and hail fought to give the best Varsity eleven possible. Outstanding among the 'Subs' are such men as Gray, E. Shaw, W. Shaw, Pratt, and Perkins. Aurora is looking forward to another great season next year when Captain- elect Thornton will lead the same team with the exception of Clayt Day and George Knightly onto the field of battle. The successful season that Aurora has just realized is to a great extent the result of good coaching. Coach Snell at a great sacrihce has given Aurora his time and has produced winning teams in all of our athletic CI1ClC2'tV01'S. W7e appreciate your hard work, Percy. We all wish you the best of luck, Captain Thornton, for, a very successful season next fall. . :Ego C Q Forty ifwo gpitomefffzrk nf? if Ji. jst-i+ -figsofb Forty-three If l pwtome Standing: Nash CMgr.j, Pratt, Thornton, Knightly, Gilkey, Gray, E.

The first call for Basketball was Given immediatel on the closing of the foot Kess 'ind im Barker, fast forwards of last year s team These two were the only l tter men back As the season went along very apparent weaknesses were noticed in the team and Coach Snell began to remedy these weak spots Then a great joy spread throughout the College as it was rumored that LaVerne Gilkey who had only played three years of Basketball for Aurora was coming back to school This ru- mor materialized and Gilkey returned to the quintet and the Blue and Whit tool-: more pep and speed and began to win ball games. After Gilkey's return the great accomplishment was the defeat of Valparaiso University at Valparaiso, lndiana. Valparaiso, conqueror of Elmhurst, who in turn trounced Wheaton fell before the fast and furious attack of a Super-Aurora five by a score of 33-32 at the University gym. Aurora naturally entered the game as the underdog but soon demonstrated their superiority by scoring six points before the Valparaiso boys knew that the game had started. Led by Captain Paul Kess, the Nebraska flash, the local boys continued their fierce attack throughout the first period to end it by a score of 20-13. In the Second Canto the hosts came back strong and soon overtook the Aurora lead. Then the fun began. First Aurora would have a one point advantage, then Valparaiso would forge to the front. Finally with the score tied at thirty Barker shot a free throw for Aurora. This was promptly followed by a Valparaiso basket. Then with but a minute to play Captain Kess shot a beautiful basket from behind the free throw line for the winning score. Kess in this game by scoring fourteen points was the high point man of the evening and the star of the game. He was closely backed by Gilkey who in addition to tak- ing most of the tip offs at center was always under the basket getting the ball for the Aurora Collegians. As the season drew to a close, Coach Snell had the following combinations work- in ver smoothl : gCap3fain Kess yof Lincoln, Nebraska-played a very flashy and consistent game at right forward. He was the high scorer of the Aurora five. Ex-Captain James Barker of Aurora, Illinois-played at left forward. He showed flashes of speed that were always good for points. Jimmy's speed and dribbling were worth the price of admission to any game. LaVerne Gilkey of Clarkston, Washington-played center for the latter half of the season. Verne was one of the mainstays in the Aurora quintet. His six feet six could out jump almost any opposing center. . Cecil Raines of Columbus, Ohio-cavorted around right guard. This was Zeke's', first year with Snell's boys and he made an admirable showing. Philip Ayton of Seattle, Washiiigtoii-played left 'guard and was always. ready for any forward or center who came his way. This is Ayton's second year in col- legiate competition. , The work of Knightly, Thornton, Johnson and E. Shaw deserve mention, as well as the others of the largest squad of Basketeers Aurora has ever known, Phil Ayton has been elected Captain for next year.

After a few weeks of concentrated practice the Varsity sextette met the Alumnae defeating them by a score of 23-17. ' 1 Then started the intercollegiate games, the first tussle being with Crane College in Chicago. The Blue and White girls showed fast team work and fighting spirit worthy of Aurora students but were no match for the superior speed of the Crane team. In a return game at Aurora the Varsity team cut the visitors' score in half but were not able to put in the winning basket. P The sextette then turned in a pair of victories over Mooseheart, but on February 28 the girls scored their greatest triumph of the season by trimming the girls from Assisi College of Joliet who had beaten them quite badly earlier in the season. This encounter was a high scoring affair with Captain Demick and Evelyn Lull dropping in 34 points for Aurora, while the visiting team only amassed 20 points. The co-eds then met in a close and thrilling game with American College of Physical Education in Chicago. The score was tied until the last two minutes of the game when the Chicagoans made a two basket lead. The return game, played in Chicago was lost in the first half. Although the Blue and White managed to out-score their op-ponents in the second half, they were unable to catch up to the lead and succumbed 26-13. The team which usually started the game lined up as follows: Captain Demick and Evelyn Lull as forwardsg C. Singleterry and H. Andrew at the guard posi- tions. L. Chambers as center and R. Wellconie as side center. Substitutes who saw action through the entire season were T. Crouse, and D. Shaw. The entire team is expected back and there will probably be plenty of new ma- terial to furnish opposition. The playing manager of this year, Evelyn Lull will captain the team next year and the best of luck is wished for her and for the squad. 2.9 1-3.

As early as February if one chanced to pass the gym, he no doubt heard the crack of a ball hitting a mit, or the cheery call of some aspirant for Aurora Blue and White nine, as they limbered up in pre-season practice. Then as old Sol began to warm up and to dry up mother Earth, Coach Percy Snell and Capt. George Knightly issued the call for out door practice. As a nucleus around which to build a team this year Percy has Hve men who have fought on the diamond for Aurora in fpastfyears. Three of these men are Seniors, Capt. Knightly being one of them, is playing his last year of baseball for the Spartans. Visiting Coaches have said that he is one of the best college shortstops seen around this state. George will probably do some of the hurling this year. Also the Spartan infield will be much strengthened when he is playing shortstop. This year will conclude his four years of baseball for Aurora. Hjimmyn Barker, another Senior who is also playing his fourth year of ball for the Blue and White, will certainly be missed next year. Jimmy for three years has played in the field. ln any game when a ball was hit to outfield any where near Barker and there were two outs, the infield would start trotting into the bench. The third member of this trio to graduate this June is Carlton Whitehead known to all as Whitey.H This is his third year of baseball at Aurora and he has taken care of the initial sack. VVhitey has made a good target for the Spartan infield to peg at. Jack Thornton and Paul Bingham are the, remaining two letter men from last year's nine. Paul plays the second sack and Hjackl' around the hot corner, otherwise known as thirdibase. Aurora is looking forward to a successful season not withstanding the fact that they have lost such outstanding stars as Cantrell, Spodesfield, Ames and Gilkey. It is certain that of this quartette that was lost to Aururoa by graduation last June, that LaVerne Gilkey's loss will be the most keenly felt, Verne has always been a tower of strength to the Aurora pitching staff. Clark Lay and Eldred Waugh, both Seniors, are out for College baseball for the first time and are trying out for the pitching end of the game. Aurora is extremely fortunate this year in having one of the greatest, if not the greatest out- fielder in her history in the person of George Hall of Lawrence, Massachusetts. George has been going great in practice racing all over the lot and snagging seem- ingly impossible balls. Hel also will prove to be a mountain of strength at bat for he is what is known as a heavy slugger. Shindlebeck, Burns, Codding, and Huggins are also out for the team, fighting for the vacant positions and determined to displace the regulars. Since the coming of Percy Snell to Aurora 'to take the position of coaching Au- rora College has always turned out good baseball teams. We have in the past and expect to again this year defeat such formidable aggregations as North Cen- tral, Wheaton, Concordia, Lisle, Chicago Y College and others. Aurora acclaims Percy Snell as the greatest baseball coach in seven states. He has, since his coming, taken baseball out of the mire of defeat and placed it on the hard road, speeding toward success. One victory after another has been accredited to the Blue and White batsmen because of the excellent work of Coach- Snell. Charles Anderson, known to us as Chuck, is proving himself to be a very efficient manager.

Hartley lyfanners was the play chosen by the Senior Class to be presented under the direction of Mrs. Maud Myers. It is a fascinating drama in three Phases and an Epilogue. The first Phase, Looking Forward takes place in the apartment of Mrs. Chrystal-Pole in New York. Jenny, a shabby little errand girl comes to deliver a dress and hat to Mrs. Pole. Having to wait a few minutes Jenny tries on the dress and stands admiring herself as Mrs. Pole enters. At first she is so indignant she refuses to keep the dress but on Jenny's tearful pleas she con- sents to try it on. Jenny's remarks and her philosophy of life interest Mrs. Pole and she asks Jenny to dine with her. After the dinner Mrs. Pole asks Jenny and her mother to come and live with her for she wishes to catch some of the enthusiasm Jenny has for life. In the second Phase which is the Cry of Youth we see Jenny after a week in the hotel dying, as she says, to return home so that she may go on with her work or as she terms it her careerf, Mrs. Pole consents and in the Third Phase which is Pressing On we find Jenny hard at work dressmaking for Mrs. Pole and her friends and engaged to MacDonagh, an lrish electrician whose outlook on life is as unique as her own. ln the Epilogue which is Happiness we see Jenny and Mac Donagh married, both successfully established in shops of their own and with two adorable children. Then the cycle of life turns round and we see a shabby girl come in to apply for a position in Jenny's shop. Asking her name she finds it is Jenny also, and she realizes here is the opportunity to pass on some of the happiness she had passed on to her and the play ends with Jenny saying, I'll put you in my fitting room and from my fitting-room Pll put you in my shop- What is happiness? Jenny says, Happiness is a looking forward and we believe she is right. Philip Chandos.. . . . Fermoy MacDonagh John Scowcroft ...... Waiter ........... A Boy. ........... . Mrs. Chrystal-Pole ....

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY. At the opening of school at Aurora in the fall of 1926 thirty-three Ufledglingsl' waited to be initiated into the mysteries of college life. After New Students' Re- ception and a thorough hazing by the Hwelcomingl' committee, consisting entirely of Sophomores, the new class began to realize what was expected of it. Led by Charles Sowder we began to formulate our plans for the years to come. Realizing the need for a social room in Eckhart Hall we fitted a room on the third floor and called it the Freshman Clubroom. Qur social spirit soon manifested itself and we joined the Juniors in a Kid party and later in the year gave them a Bunco party in return. ., George Knightly was chosen to lead during our second year. We were sorry to find that we had lost several valuable classmates of the year before, among them our noble president. This year we took charge of hazing the Freshmen. This class having so many members each fellow was told to bring his own paddle and to march past PreXy and present them to him in order that they might not hurt themselves. For class day each member forgot his identity and became an Indian when the program was presented in chapel.f This year the class of '30 demonstrated their ability on the stage by presenting Priscilla's Room. We joined the seniors in two very entertaining parties and also attended several steak frys and roller skating parties. One of the most interesting incidents of this year was the stunt at Ma1'di Gras. A circus was displayed for the amusement of the onlookers. This included such features as a brass band, an elephant, a weight lifter, and tight rope walker. Besides contributing a great deal to the social life of the College the athletic life was also enriched by such men as George Knightly, Clark Lay, Jimmie Barker, and Homer Pratt. h In September 1928 we realized that we were upper classmen. IfVe resolved to sail through with flying colors under the management of Harold Kinney. A sense of responsibility was pushing forward and making a place for itself. Parties again occupied some of our leisure. Togive the Freshmen a start each member of the class of '32 was invited to a kid party where child1'en's games, animal crackers, and ice- -vife -Jeff chef--F 3:1533 it i A Q. Sixty-ffwo pitome- e----af A cream cones were enjoyed. Realizing the similarity of the class of '30 and the Pilgrim Fathers We donned our puritan garb one chapel morning and conducted a pilgrim meeting, and even the faculty was convinced of the resemblance. f Realizing the responsibility incurred in becoming juniors a three act play was begun and a great deal of work spent upon it. At the Sign of the Pewter Jug, was presented in Lowry chapel and later given again at the Presbyterian church near Plainfield. lVIuch of the credit for the success of this play was due to the Work of our coach and class mate, Leila Evans. v The great' event of the year was the Junior-Senior banquet. Each Junior breathed a sigh of relief as he viewed the cleverly decorated room and listened to the charming music rendered by a harpist. The Pirate theme was carried out, small chests being given as favors and in the center of the tables ships and treasure chests filled with gold Cbutterscotch candyj. One was sure Captain Kidd would step forth in a fevv minutes, as he vievvedithe sight. . For the year 1929-1930 it was necessary to decide upon a class adviser as Well as officers since Prof. Corliss was not coming back to Aurora. Prof. Singleterry was chosen as class adviser and Alice Mur1'a was elected president. When Senior Class Day came it Was characterized by a visit to the rest 'of the school from lVIars, the class of '30 returning in 1940. 0 D After seeing the enhanced appearance of Seniors of other colleges who Wore jackets of their class colors We decided to combine beauty With utility and so We turned out in jackets of scarlet and grey with the class numerals and a small A. After the solemn occasion of the first Senior Day events have occurred quite rap- idly. Mrs. Myers Was chosen to coach the class play Happiness and a good deal of hard work has been spent on the parts. Much of the Senior term was spent in making the Epitome a success. ln order to make a more attractive annual the class voted to bear the expense of a stiff cover. In the midst of all the Work incurred by senior life We have, nevertheless, taken time to play occasionally. The steak fry at Maremech Hill given us by the Sopho- mores was one of the most delightful happenings in this school year. In looking back over the period of years in which we have formed many friend- ships and spent so many happy hours We disband with a very deep feeling of sadness at leaving Aurora College and our classmates of '30, Sixiy-three I -4 I- pitomee :A fr F- CLASS WILL We, the illustrious, dignified, and noble seniors of Aurora College, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament.

The issue Was: Bleachers for the athletic field, or a program clock for Eckhart Hall? The latter was decided upon as it Was the most needed equipment of the two. The program clock is a very important part of electric time equipment. Its function is to ring the program signals at predetermined times in accordance with required schedules. The program clock which consists of a master clock and one secondary clock is purchased from the Standard Electric Time Company of Spring- field, Massachusetts, through the lVIay Electric Company of Aurora, Illinois. The May Elecrtic Company also holds the contract for installing the new system. The master clock is to be placed in ai room which is used by the Physics depart- ment in the basement of Eckhart Hall. The temperature of this room is the most constant of any rooms in the hall, thus aiding the clock to keep perfect time. The secondary clock will be placed in the same place as the former one, which was on the first Hoor of Eckhart Hall. This clock is regularly arranged to oper- ate on one minute impulses transmitted from the master clock and is thus kept correct. The movements of both clocks are enclosed in beautiful oak finished, dust-proof cases, and will run for years with no attention. The clocks are automatically Wound every hour, and are run, of course, on the regularly alternating power current. The class of 1930 sensed the need of such a valuable piece of school equipment, and trust that this gift will be perpetually cared for by those who carry on the work. - E if 193015 E E Sixty-six pitomel fe THE CRIMSON AND GRAY Class of '30 with your crimson and your gray, Better may We laugh and love and pray For the fellowship that We have had in you, For the lesson you have taught in being true.

Not that Registration Day on the campus lends the .atmosphere of a jail delivery, but the incoming youth is a panorama of colorful heterogeneity in more ways' than one. Characteristic New England modesty, western ex- huberance, northern familiarity, and southern aloofness,-all enter the office of the Registrar with that same attempted nonchalance, to step lightly off the campus ten months later, a fin- ished product-a hash of varied emotions. Aurora is not a melting pot, yet it does blending on a small scale. The smallness in one man's soul is lost in the bigness of another's heart thus we find a happy medium between two extremes. W , And, now that the campus has wrested itself from the Byronic embrace of a Mid- western winter and spring is buttering the pistachio-green of nature's carpet with yellow dandelions, we seem reluctant to sprint through the remaining weeks that separate we-seekers- after-knowledge from the finish line, even though it appears an oasis on the desert of dry reading, seven-thirty classes and compulsory chapel attendance. Surely, Philippides, having hoofed the' miles from Marathon, could not have been in poorer condition than the greater portion of the student body at the present time. Every room has its drawerful of buttons until one is forced to wonder at the extent of the faith that must exist in Wilkinson Hall. The wheel of Time will grind relentlessly on however, until the tourist season claims its goodly share of backbreaking, heartrending experiences of the hardy few who develop into knights of the road and spend several of them in deserted cornfields or abandoned roadside stands. V Right now is the time when a person likes to meditate and refiect on the past year, school traditions and what have you. Which brings me to the point which is the broken tradition of 1929-30. For years many thought that the chief tradition consisted of the football team's an- nual pilgrimage to Wheaton that the Crusaders might practice under real conditions with no danger of being scored upon, until someone, delving into the dusty archives, discovered that the massacre was not a tradition but had merely become a habit and eleven mediocre Moslems stemmed the habitual jaunt of the Orange Crusaders into the Promised Land of Victory. This brings us to the fact that neither oil nor water, sleigh-rides or basket-ball can ever be accused of effectively mixing as to insure undying fame to the college from victories, moral or otherwise. .Professor Smith is capable of proving the former--Professor Snell had more than a few words to say in defense of the latter. Professor Snell is the same austere scientist who, last fall, spent considerable time- hunting diligently around the campus for four backfield men whose combined mental efforts equaled the brains of one louse. Others accuse him, when Aurora dropped seven games in a row, of remarking that he didn't expect us to win 'em all. This is the only time on record that we have not disappointed the coach. The only other fiy in his ointment has been the failure of Aurora's three co-eds to get out to the home games on time. Nevertheless, our coach occupies a high place in the estimation of all who have struggled, skidded, or crawled under him, despite his apparent dislike for Day Is Dying In The Westf' and an unconquerable desire to use Greek hyperbolas and parabolas in both skull practice and Patterson Field vivisection. He never knew that the fervor with which the boys hit the tackling dummy was fostered other than by a desire to learn, rather than a vague hope, bordering on a realization that a torn dummy might mean more sleep in the afternoon to the potential murderers of that inanimate grief distributor. ' We could take San Juan Hill with Roosevelt's Rough Riders or run 'the gauntlet.w1th Farragut at New Orleans and never turn a hair, but to trot out for practice fifteen minutes late took more courage than is usually found in the average college man. Those few words seemed to change one into a slinking coyote or Satan in a Garden of Eden. . . .. Is there any logical Che'd always use a word like thatl reason why you can't be out on time? It was always safer to say no than attempt to argue. Some 'day when we get a B. S., M. A., and Ph. D. degrees three of us are coming back and argue with the gentleman. ' . I Those things we can never forget-and they will go down in our unwritten diaries along with Blind Date night, Literary, Field Day, and the Steak Frys. There is more than one throat that catches just a bit as they realize that for them, finis has been written across their school career at Aurora. May we split the World as wide open as a co-ed's heart on Commencement day and from our niche in the Hall of Fame gaze down on those who have never passed through the doors of the reatest school in the universe and that includes the newest planet. g -GEORGE HALL. s 052- 'F -fe X.- Sefzzwzty-jf-va as a pitomei if ON SOLICITING ADS Gee this is a peach of a day, isn't it? You, bet it is, just the kind of a day to hit 'em up for some full page ads in the Epitome, what do you say? . That's the kind of lingo the Seniors listen to at the breakfast table on a fine April morn- ing. Two of the more public spirited members of the class, after a tete-a-tete will finally decide to ditch all their classes and try their luck bull-dozing the big shots of the factories and stores into some real honest-to-goodness, worth-while advertising. These two stalwart sons of Aurora, who think that merely rubbing two chips of birchwood together will start the kind of a fire you've often read about, will load up with old copies of the Pharos Epitome and contract blanks, and with hopes higher than Lindbergh ever will Hy and cast their nets for whales. First they think they will try the lVIid-VVest Beverage Company which boasts of a slogan not altogether unlike that great Southern newspaper, which covers Dixie like the dew. They near the building and just before entering pause a moment to rehearse their introductory lines. They simultaneously gaze up at the three story office building with its rugged Gothic archi- tecture, and almost wilt like a golden glow which hzfs been stung by an early fall frost as they behold the sign, 'fAgents Keep Out. Ignoring the bold black type of the above mentioned sign, both solicitors stealthily creep up to the revolving brass trimmed door. Both enter in the same partition of the revolving door and the latter stomps on the heels of the leader as they slowly gain their first entrance. Now inside they peek around slowly with a guilty look as if they expected any minute to be collared by a big brass buttoned Irish copper. Spying a glass enclosed affair with projecting sign which read Information the more courageous of the two stole to the window and said, 'fMay-may I speak with the advertising manager please UWhere are you from? demanded a curt young blonde, who was letting her hair grow out and which curled around her unshaven neck and reminded one of a damp floor-mop. Aurora College, was the smiling reply. She pushed down one of a row of red button affairs and said, 'KA couple of young men from Aurora College wish to see you, Mr. Lambert? He must have said O. K. because she poked her head close to the window and said, Follow the fourth red arrow from the bottom. -Up they went until the arrow stopped at one of a number of doors in a long corridor. Rap. Rap. f'Come in! A short stout creature with specs was crooned over a desk running over some typewritten copy and punctuating here and there with a lead pencil. He reminded the ad getters of a college professor, correcting examinations at the close of the first semester. 'fWhat can I do for you chaps? aslded Lambert in a business-like tone. We would like to have you take a page ad in our college annual, spoke the bolder of the tw-o. A pause followed. Then in a sentence as brief as his build, he shot, Can't do it, goodbye. There was no use arguing with this bozo-he meant business. So out the pair went into the street, a picture of grief and gloom. Disheartened and ready to quit they walked silently down the street to the business district. 4 They stopped in front of Rears and Sawbuck's big store, one of a mighty chain. They de- cided to go in and tap the manager for at least a half page. The manager said, Sorry, but all our advertising has to go through the Chicago offices. Finally, the two young would-be-world-beaters were about to give up and board the Downer express, after being turned down by every department store in the block. They thought they better try one more, so they went to the corner service station. The attendant who was the boss and head gazabo of the whole works was busy draining the crank case on an old Model T delivery truck. They waited about twenty minutes and the present, plast and future chief mogul strutted over in his greasy cover-alls and asked what it was all a out. After explaining and showing and pleading, he thought he understood but wasn't sure. They talked and talked and one by one his left ear and right ear and left arm began to drop off. Finally, he said, just as a big Bull Dog lVIack truck drove up for filling, I,ll take an eighth of a page at three-fifty, but I won't be able to pay you until I see the copy. Now all the ad takers aren't all like those I have mentioned 'cause some of them just say, 'fSure sign us up. It is the ad takers who make this book possible, so patronize them. ' AN AD GE'r'1'ER. Safuwzty-six MEMORY AND MEDITATION I had just realized! that four years had crept away that spring day as I strolled lazily toward my favorite haunt on the golf cou1'se. I was suddenly faced with the realization that I was a Senior! My slip from the office that morning had read rental of gown diploma Up until that time I had not faced the stern reality that my school days at Aurora were so near a close. I marvelled at the Seniors last June and only wished I were one of them, but now the scene had changed. An old west bound train caterpillared its way over the prairie. The engine was the center of life as it steamed, pulling cars of priceless value. I-Iow..like this maneuvering were our days at Aurora! How liskgeg-aflocomotive' is' Aurora! And is her train not composed of students of untold worth! I was impressed with the dignity and nobleness of it all as it moved on. Its journey was not hindered as it so deliberately pushed its way over the flat Illinois prairies. Was all its life so easy? No! It would soon be confronted with mountains for it was iiWCSfW31'd Bound. This would be only one difficulty, which would assail it. Were there not curves and precipices of unfathomable depth? Would it brave the curves and pitfalls of life? As I watched it proceed I wondered if its pace were ever hindered. Had it al- ways been so successful? It brought to mind that old proverb- Rome was not built in a dayf, I wondered how it moved so mechanically as it rolled along. On the way it would be faced with side tracks. In our own lives at Aurora were there not eer- tain ideals set before us? Did we follow them as directly as this faithful locomotive or did we allow ourselves to become sidetracked? VVould the path always be bright? VVere there not deserts in the path of the old locomotive? Was there always sunshine? No doubt there would be days of loneliness and days of discouragement but with this .possibility it seemed little con- cerned as it sang at the cross-road. Does it pass its fellow men engaged at the menial tasks without a thought? Perhaps it wished to stop and help them along but the cargo is expected at the Grand Central Station and it rushes on leaving its toilers behind. Do we have an ideal before us as we rush on in life? ' The old train puffs through the bright city. How it craves revelry for a night! It resists the inviting lights and thunders on. Are we so steadfast to our ideals and so fit to follow them? Beyond the engine power is there not an engineer? Have we not a greater power to guide us as we face the ups and downs of life? I think that the things we get from college may not be entirely those we get in the class-room. They are intangible things, friendships, loyalty, sentiments- The lazy fringe of life. College is the nearest thing to a second home that one is apt to find. A second home, memories that will suddenly appear after years of silence. There is no place which will be so dear to us in after years as our Alma lllater, Aurora. Ivfay We as Seniors always follow the ideals set before us by the old west bound train, and may we- Made weak by time and fate but strong in will, Be made to strive, to seek, to find and not to yieldf, -A SENIOR. 2-ge 54- ?

Ceasing its function as a favorite stomping ground, it was canonized as a first class tradition. CPhysics students, note conservation of energy.D We had strolled across the golf links Sunday afternoons, froliced'-on 'the campus, picniced at Diana's and occupied Lab windows at twilight. Yet something was miss- ing until we stumbled on to the most delightful spot of all.. Ideal as it is for picnicing, strolling, and lounging it's biggest feature is it's kindness to bag lunches. Out there they come into their birth-right. Of course one must expect to co-operate with a little imagination, a pinch of optimism, and perhaps a cake or some cookies from the tiny store across the road. For two selfish years, Hoodlum Hollow has remained our private resort. We are now offering it to the world to be accepted or rejected. I-Iow to get there? When you reach Prairie ignore the conventional stroll to the right, instead turn to the left and walk until you come to an old fashioned cream colored house trimmed in red then past their red barn and Hoodlum Hollow is at your very feet. If the trees and saplings that screen our Favorite Nook from the road also obscure the pathways lead- ing down, heed this last landmark. A mail box on which is inscribed John Day, Box 25 is the pillar that discovers the path to our sylvan retreat. Once within you'll be charmed. Ye Easterners look! Are not these hills-very mountain ranges in miniature! Perhaps because I've never seen the Katskill Mouri- tains, these swells and hollows are the mountains made famous by Irving. Cn a drowsy afternoon, as likely as not you will see the old Rip Van Winkle come limping down the mountain, stretching the kinks out of his back. But Why the name, Hoodlum Hollow. Can you hear the little men playing ten pins in the distance? Come and see for yourself. We found the little men twice in succession. -CHARLES SINGLETERRY. 2 gp, .-ada 19302-ies 'E iiarz, Sc'-vcnty-nine ,-a..,,.E A T.. we a pitomel ff ,YS Eiglzly AURORA COLLEGE NURSERY RHYMES Bob he was a piperls son u He learned to play when he was young, But all the tune that he could play YVas, H0ut in the Ford and far away.

A FRESHMAN RATES HIMSELF The Person Although my appearance in general is not such as to cause comment, nevertheless, I do possess certain distinguishing characteristics. To begin with, my not unusual physique towers above a firm foundation of perfectly formed feet. My noble brow is topped by a luxuriant mass of hair, which brings back vague memories of wet timothy hay. My firm set and determined jaw is charmingly enhanced by a short pug nose which appears to have received too much sunshine before it had fully matured. And now we come to a feature in my make up, a certain subtle quality, that never fails to grip allg my pleading lustrous eyes, verging on that desired, yes ever envied, greenish, yellowish tint. They are displayed at their best by a background of two prominent ears, ears which might lead one to believe that their prominence was due to a certain type of rough treatment administered tonaughty boys. The Poem Don't be w'at you ain't, Jes be w'at you is. Case if ye ain't what you am, Den you am not w'at you is.. If you is jes a tadpole, don't try to be a frog. If you is jes de tail, don't try to wag de dog. Don't be w'at you ain't, jes be w'at you is. Case de feller what plays it square is gwine to get his. lt ain't w'at you is has been It's w'at you now am is. The Philosophy The last two sentences of the poem above express exactly my opinion of myself. Need I then confess the weaknesses that I have shown at various times in the past? Is not the Ever Present all that matters from time infinite to time eternal? And will not my ideal be sooner achieved? Will it -ever be reached unless I am today what I hope to be tomorrow? Why ask me what I am? Ask me rather what I hope to be. I am, then, strong and self confident, but meek, reliant, and true.
