For those of our readers Who did not travel on the ship AURORA during l930-31, We have endeavored in this epitome of our voyage, to paint an interesting and compre- hensive picture of the life on board. 4 For those Who journeyed with us, andwh-o have contributed greatly to the joy and success of the trip, We trust that this book will ever recall the happy events of the voyage. V The Aurora Spirit has been our pharos, guiding the vessel over stormy Waters, keeping it off the shoals, and cheering the passengers with its perpetual gleam. May this spirit ever illuminate the course of Aurora!

The Record of'3Q In the fall of 1928 the class of '32 joined the Good ship Aurora ' . D 2, as recruits. The older sailors first made this motley bunch of tars into deck-swabbers-but not for long! I Our men rose rapidly in rank. Three made the football team, two the basketball team, and four girls played on the girls' basketball team. For our pilot we chose Mr. Hewitt, whose eagle eye we judged might abl for- Y see the storms ahead, -and pilot us safely through them Curt' M L g . is' ac ean became first mate with Martha Cleary, second mateg Miriam Watkins, purserg. and Emma Reichart recorder of our activities. We gave as our first play Cinderella 0'Reilly. ' In that year it was decided to add as many improvements as possible to the h. s ip. We helped to do our share in this work by planting a group of pine trees which became known as The Freshman Forest. e In our second Mary' Jane Otte, and Wilbur Murra toaid him Durifirst diit ' ' ' . y was to initiate the recruits into the joys of sea. life on board the Aurora -this we did with the d ' bl a mira e ability and whole-hearted enthusiasm becoming to third class seamen. Not only did many of us participate in sports but we furnished the basketball cap- tain-Paul Kess. ' year Philip Ayto-n took the position of first mate with Evelyn Lull' . On Valentine's night we produced the comedy Billy which was permeated 'th , W1 an essence of the sea. Dorothy Bair and Phil Ayton were the principal characters in it.

It was coached by llfIr. Perry and was so well received that it was given on two nights. Franklin Alexander and Dorothy Bair had the leading parts. In connection with the play our sailors built a new set for the stage In the Accrediting Campaign we had the honor of being the first' to reach our quota. On May 7 we entertained our superiors, the first class seamen, around the festive board at the Elks' Club. Thgey, however, had originated a new social event by taking us on a picnic at Johnson's Mound on the evening of April 24, I . , To date the sailors of '32 have done their share on the ship Aurora, Next year will be our last voyage, and with three years of service behind us we shall have attained the ranks of first class seamen. .

V V After We had been obedient and submissive as long as we could, we surprised them on Freshman Class Day. For the first time in history the Hag of the re- cruits stayed up until after chapel! We were proclaimed victorious, and were more tightly bound together, for not even the guns of the third' classmen had succeeded in removing our banner.

Last September a group of freshmen, filled with high hopes, sailed out from port on their first vo-yage on the gallant vessel Aurora, From that time the students of '34 have entered whole-heartedly into the task of steering the ship into harbor successfully, and have become bound together by the beautiful something known as The Aurora College Spirit. The first social function was known as blind-date night, and was made memorable by uncertainty. Next on the calendar came the new students' reception, which will remain one of the vivid memories of the freshman year., Being formally accepted into the heart of the college 'is a trying event. After the ordeal of being introduced to the line of people in the main hall at Eckhart was over, everyone went up to the Gym where ice cream was served. . When the class celebrations began the freshman flag waved high on Sophomore Day, thus .defiantly symbolizing to the world that the ancient enemy of the frosh -the sophomores-had been .conquered on their own ground. When Freshman Class Day came around the traditional steak fry was held in the early morning. But joy is followed by sorrow-so the 'pessimistic say+and when the girls returned to the dormitory theyfound their mattresses high in the trees, and their rooms in chaos. Near the beginning of the year the juniors entertained the freshmen at a Kid Party. In return .on Friday, December 5, the freshmen were hosts to the juniors at a party' held in the Gym at Eckhart. D The class of '34 has been sincere in its effort to gain knowledge, but it has also been enthusiastic in its support of athletics and other extra-curricular activities. Its members demonstrated their dramatic ability when Her Step Husband a three act comedy, was presented in Lowry Chapel, Friday, March 20. The unanimous verdict of those that saw the play was that it was the most amusing and well pro- duced performance that. had been presented in a long time. , Very soon the class of '34 will have come to the end of the first voyage and today will have become a memory. The disappointments will be forgotten and there will be only happy remembrances: Our youthful and cocky pride will be tem- pered and deepened-but never changed. We have already discovered Treasure Island-andthe treasure we found to be the healthy balance of work and please ure-and companionship. Tomorrow will bring the promise of other happy voy- ages-and we will sail out from port with all our canvasses full of wind, and the sun on the masts. - ' And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow rover,- And a quiet sleep, and a sweet dream, when the long trick's over. - ROSALIE SMITH. n.:x.A.Jv .-fg4.4,Av4.A.4.A. 9 3 ..,,,,,,,,,, -tfwentyrsefveun , 1-,,,,.,f-' . .eau ' 'C E PHFKQOS -Chester Gilliatt e of Somerville, Massachusetts, and George Hatfield of Hartland, New Brunswick, both members 'of the class of 1931, will 'take their degrees of Bachelor of Science from Aurora College tl'1lSiAJLlllt2'i71vdZPS6?7lfid. 1 6 I i . l .- . . .1 . . . . , ' -Their studying during ,the past year. has been done at the medical school 'of Boston University.

She surely is a wonderful jimi She's quick of mofvement as swell as mind. To be merry best becomes her is not only the keyword of Mary's name but it seems to be the motto of her life. Although she has been in our class a short time, we have enjoyed her pres- ence with us. She has shown herself a willing and eHicient helper at all times. However, we hardly know which way she is going to turn next for Mary has a knack of keeping us guessing. One minute she is a lively youngsterion roller skates, and then suddenly, she assumes that dignity which she displays before her class of third-graders. She seems to enjoy herself most when she is studying French in which she has excelled.

Scarcely had we finished our prepa- rations when coming misfortune was predicted. Previous reports had indicated that the third class seamen were about to begin their nautical maneuvers. We decided to delay our voyage a few days until the storm of initiation had passed over. So o-n September 27 with our election of Guy Codding as President, Charlie Single- terry as vice-president, Doris- Blanchard as secretary, and Charleie Singleterryfas treasurer, we started on our 'voyage of college life, with Professor Kearney as our pilot. ' i Q Shortlyiafter our departure, 'plans were made for Freshman Class Day, October 15. Other enjoyable events made the ,year pass quickly. The juniors honored us with a luncheon, and we, in turn, entertained them at our Fetes d'Annee. Our childish fears were represented in the class play, The Dyspeptic Ogre. .The fare- well party at Lull's cottage on June 3 brought our recruiting days to aclose.. September 18, 19Z8.' Today we entered the ship Aurora . asgthird-class sea- men. -Our oflicers were: .Elmer Lull, president, Doris Blanchard, vice-president, Ruth Watson,o secretary, and George Arthur, treasurer. ,During the first week of this voyage we earnestly endeavored to keepthe new recruits from becoming seasick. On October 18 the bells of Scotland were ringing out .Sophomore Class Day, when we presented a ,Scottish program in Chapel. The high points 'for the rest of the year included parties, plays, and steak fries. During the'Thanksgiving holidays the seniors and sophomores entertained the rest of the crew at a roller-skating party. Come Out of the Kitchen 'was the name ofiour sophomo-re play. Ruth Tall- madge and Charlie Singleterry-had the leading parts. As Doris Blanchard, vice-presi- dentoftthe class, was 'called home Ruth Tallmadge was? chosen to take her place. OneTmorning in -chapel President Lull presented to President Jenks a new Hag for the campus in behalf of the Class of 1931. sA' party was given to the seniors dur- ing Easter vacation. iThe seniors in turn treated us to a bacon and egg fry. Elmer Lull again invited us to a farewell party at his father's cottage on May 25. Thu. ended the voyage of our second year. . U September 10,i1929. Now that we had become second-class seamen, we were 'ready and ,willingto accept some of the larger responsibilities of college life. 'Our officers for the year were: George Arthur, president, Ruth Singleterry, vice-presi- dentg Thelma Crouse, secretary, and Dorothy Dotzauer, treasurer. Shortly after leaving port, we entertained the freshmen at a Kid Party. This yeariRuth Tallmadge and Elmer Lull had theleading parts in our class play, - Green Stockings. The success of this play and the two previous ones was largely due to the efforts of Mrs. Singleterry, the coach. ----------9 93 forty ' 1 ik... . ,g .Q Hg, i' mg..

Our officers were Harold Kinney, president 3 Dorothy Dotzauer, vice-president, Pearl Rouse, secretary 3 and George Arthur, treasurer. As seniors we had the honor of obtaining our class rings, pins, or keys, and also the honor of holding .a dignified position before the photographer's camerap We received degrees suitable to ournatures at the University of Human Tend- encies on our Class Day. . . . . , .

After we began work remodelling the Reading Room as our class gift in,De- cember, and after our first Senior Day, we realizednmore than .ever that. our col.- lege days were drawing to a close. However, we have had time to- enjoy parties and steak-fries. The sophomore class entertained usat a George Washington cos- tume partyy Ask any ,of the four senior girls living in -the dormitory, or Dorothy Dotzauer, and you will learn that probably the most' enjoyable bacon and egg fry of the year was on the morning of Maifch 5.

The meetings have been held once a month, and interesting programs have been given. At one meeting the students were made acquainted with Wagner's operas by Russell Huggins, and the life of Wagner by Gwen Stephens. At the Christmas meeting Evelyn Andrews told about German customs. Another meeting was devoted to a com- parison of German and American universities by Professor Singleterry. ln March Mr. Ziegle, an Aurora citizen, gave an interesting talk on post-war Germany with special references to his trip there.

It Was soon evident that there were more places for the money than there Was money to place. However, after thorough consideration and diligent application in maintaining essentials, the Senate adopted a budget schedule which has sponsored a creditable program of activities.

Being united by the mutual purpose of Christian service, the mem- bers have found the help, inspiration, and counsel of the Watch Tower prayermeet- ings of untold spiritual value in preparation for their chosen -work. . During this year the first Aurora College Gospel Team in a number of years was formed. ln it nearly every member found an opportunity for service and experience. lt was the privilege of this team, under the capable management of Floyd Fuller, to visit all the churches of the Advent Christian denomination near Aurora. The Wayside Cross Mission of the city found in the Association even more help this year than formerly. The members were responsible for one evening service a month. On numerous other occasions the Missioll obtained speakers from the Theo- logical ranks. Besides these larger opportunities for service, the members help consistently with the regular program of the local churches.

Ruth VVellcome '32 J' i The Literary Society is the one social organization of Aurora College to which all students belong. ln former years it convened every Friday night, but because of other social functions it seemed best this year to have Lit only twice a month. Splendid programs have been presented by the four classes, the off-campus stu- dents, the alumni, residents of Davis and Wilkiiisoii Halls, and other smaller groups. Besides these the entire student body has sponsored features, among which the most popular were the traditional Blind Date Night, Ma1'di Gras, and llflay Festival. A new and successful project undertaken by the Literary Society this year was the publishing of the weekly newspaper, The Aurora Borealis, in place of the monthly Pharos. From all reports the enterprise has met with the hearty approval of the stu- dents, alumni, and friends. Each new step taken this year marks progress, and is a stepping stone to greater things. 9 S A.A.A.4:s.A.a-A,A.1dlibvsA.1.4.Je.1A,Ju-g-4,Av.

It elects the various athlletic managers, con- trols Aurora's three major sports, and all other matters athletic. Its most outstanding recent contributions have been the completion of a set of regulations to control the awarding of letters, and the adoption of Spartans as the Varsity cognomen. It backed Aurora's 1 irst Homecoming last fall and was the re- cipient of bleachers for Patterson Field. 'The A. A. A. sponsors two gala days known as Field Day and June Day, the for- mer coming in the fall and the latter taking place late in the spring. Steak fries, swimming, athletics, and impromptu games are the order of the day. The freshman- junior vs. sophomore-senior girls' basketball game on Field Day, and baseball game on June Day are traditional. The last event given under the auspices of this organi- zation is the annual Athletic Banquet held during Commencement week. ,Q-1-,gdp Y,-pW4,,v4,4A,4,1,AYLA.4.A.4A.A,s-9 9 3 if ty - o n e ,tb --f' X 'CHE . PHFIQOS I p The Accrediting Campaign One of the challenging features of the college life this year has been the Stu- dent Accrediting Campaign. This was launched early in the year under the inspi- ration of Dean Perry,'with John Thornton as chairman of the committee, Wayne Gilman in charge of the publicity, and Phil Ayton as recorder of the pledges. ' The student campaign was a unit of a larger effort involving the alumni, the general denominational constituency, and the city of Aurora. A fund is being raised to be used in installing the necessary equipment in the chemistry, physics, and bio- logical laboratories, and thousands of new volumes in the library, in order to meet the standards of the University of Illinois. ln addition to this, it -is planned to add new members to the faculty, and in 'these ways to insure accrediting by the University of Illinois for the full four years of college. work some time during the next college year. The work toward ad- vanced degrees which Mrs. Mildred Singleterry and Professor Chester M. Kearney have been taking 'at the University of Chicago will play an important part in th-is effort to enlarge the qualifications of the teaching staff of the college. .The class presidents at once accepted the responsibility of directing the activities of the members of the separate classes in securing pledges for the Accrediting Fund. Goals for each of the classes were set by the campaign managers on the basis of es- timated -ability. Th-at- realization of the goals should not go unrewarded, the ad- ministration offered two prizes-one for the class making the best showing during the period of the campaign, and one for the student who turned in the most money, in cash or pledges, before the termination of the campaign. The Students took hold of the campaign with great enthusiasm, and wrote let- ters to their friends in the four corners of the country seeking help. Frequent chapel services, pep meetings, and continuous publicity in the Aurora Borealis kept the interest at a high' level. Four airplanes' placed on wires in the main corridor of Eckhart Hall indicated the daily progress of the classes toward their respective goals. The junior class was the first to reach its apportionment, maintaining a lead de- veloped early in the campaig.n. They were closely followed by the sophomore, fresh- man, and senior classes, respectively. VVilliam Wcmod, of the sophomore class, cap- tured the lead for individual honors early in the race. It seems certain that as a result of a fine spirit of co-operation throughout the school, the entire thousand dol- lars pledged by the student body as their contribution toward the Accrediting Ad- vance will be accounted foriwhen all of the cash has been turned in and the pledges secured have been' paid. , Now the students are looking to the alumni, to the faculty of the college, to the citizens of Aurora, and to the friends of the college throughout the country to carry on in this great step toward the building of a greater Aurora College! ,Q.-g,AA , ,-vm4..4.,'v4.A.-snr.-'-4-4-H45 9 3 jffly-lfwo ATHLETICS ,bd -ff me eaanos r -LM 1 Back Rofw: Nash CMgr.l, Friedmann, Raines, Stephens, Hall, Huggins, Perkins, Fleming, Lucas, Anderson, and Snell CCoachj.

PHQQOS f I rvNfs.fg,+..Jv.,4..-s,-4-'NA.A-A.xNA- Q FoorbaH The depression in the business world hit football here last fall when Coach Snell was greeted by seven men on the first day of practice, and during the height of the season only six veterans and two former reserve players were on hand to season the inexperienced crew. , Despite the gloomy prospects facing the coach and Captain Jack Thornton, the group which did turnout worked hard to save the season from disaster, and as a result Aurora won two and lost six of her games. However, thanks to Manager Earl Nash, it wasthe most successful season in Spartan grid history, considered from a financial viewpoint. s . , ' Wheri the call for grid material was issued -last- fall, Coach Percy Snell was greeted by Capt. Jack Thornton, end, Chuck Anderson, center, Zeke Raines, tackle, George Hall Qcaptain-elect for 19313, fullback, Phil Ayton, quarterback and end, Paul Kess, half-back, Ken Perkins, guard, and Ned Shaw, halfback. This comprised the entire array of veterans at the beginning of the season. Later in the season, Everett Fleming, 235 pound guard of the previous year was able' to arrange work to come out, and his added weight and experience did much to bolster up the line. v I ' ' s With the loss of Mig Knightly, Snell ,wasconfronted with the task of de- veloping a new quarterback. Phil Ayton got' first call to this job, but he ,was later shifted, to end while Thornton was moved to the signal calling postwhere he remained throughout the season. The hole left by Stephens in the backfield was filled by two very capable young men, Don Barr, who was shifted to end after the season got under way, and Ned Shaw, who saw regular action at the right half- back position the rest of the season except for one or two games, while Snell was experimenting with Raines in the backfield. A In the line, Huggins Qwho was lost to the team during the' 1929 campaign be- cause of early season injuriesj, developed into a first class guard, and Red Stephens, Cformer Elgin High School starj, turned in some nice work at the tackle position occupied by Captain Day in 1929. After the preliminary shifting had been fin- ished, and the regular lineup determined, Barr Ca productwof VVest Highj and Ayton saw duty in the end -positions. A ' What success the 1930 grid team did achieve was due in a great measure to the outstanding playing of George Hall at fullback, Jack Thornton at quarter, and Zeke Raines at left tackle. Each week found Hall in there running away from his opponents, and heaving passes down the field for long gains. It was Aurora's passing attack, built 'around George Hall, that enabled Aurora to win her two vic- tories, and they were directly responsiblefor the other scores of the season. Rival coaches were loud in their praises of Hall and the passing attack which Snell had developed around him. Kess, who again held down his position at left half, was a consistent hard plung- ing back, and-was responsible for a great deal of yardage through the line. Fleming and Anderson, guard and center respectively, were in there most of the time, making the center of the line a hard nut for Aurora's opponents to crack.

By intercepting an Aurora.-passon their-own 5 'yard line and carrying it the' length of the' field for --a touchdown, the cadets eked out a 6-0 victory over the Blue and White gridders. ' A M I- 1 g, . The next week found an injured and battered Aurora eleven, battling against terrific odds in the Elmhurst game, in which the Spartans were whitewashed, 65-0. tundarmfed by the overwhelming' defeat of the previous Saturday, October 1 found the locals in tip-top shape and ready to put up the battle of their lives. It was an inspired Spartan eleven that came from behind in the third quarter to de- feat Crane 6-2, the first 'Crane victory in our history. A 'continual stream of Crane reserves' poured intothe 'fray in hopesof wearing out the tiring Spartans, but fight- ing' as. if for their very lives, the locals held on until the' end.

A A-fighting Spartan eleven met a heavier Wheaton team on October 24, and the Crusaders downed the Spartans by a 25-6 score in what has come to be regarded as the year's grid classicj Sheer' power, and the breaks of the game paved the way for Wheaton's scoring, while Aurora accountediifor her lone touchdown in the waning minutes of the gameby a passing attack which carried the ball from one end of the field to the other. , , ' . With the largest crowd ever to assemble on Patterson field on hand, and the new bleachers seeing theirginitial duty on the sidelines, Aurora celebrated her first homecoming on November 1 by nosing out Morton in a hard fought game by a 7-6 score. - - Valparaiso University's hardicharging eleven entertained the Snellmen the fol- lowing week, and received the surprise of their lives when the locals were able to show them a 6-O lead at half time. Ho-wever, weight and reserves wore the Spar- tans out. in the second half, and the final gun found Valparaiso in possession of the coveted end of an 18-6 score. ' ' Playing in theirfourth successive homecoming feature without George Hall, who was 1HJL1I'Cd'OH the second play of the game, Aurora ended the season on the mud-soaked Lisle, grid, November 15, losing outito the fast Lisle crew by a 38-13 score. Qnly two men, Captain Jack Thornton, and Chuck Anderson, both of whom are four year lettermen, will be lost by graduation this year. Captain-elect Hall should find a large group of veterans on hand next fall, and with the incoming group, which is sure to .yield some good material, indications are that 19,31 will. see Au- rora out of the red as far as football success is concerned. fifty--six fl fill ff 'iff 5' '7' ffllI' ITT EF!

With a big bonfire and rally on Friday night, 'a hobo parade through the downtown streets Saturday morning, the Mortonfvictory in the afternoon and the lavish home- coming banquet at night, Aurora's first homecoming was proclaimed, by students and alumni alike, to be the biggest event ever attempted by th-e students of Aurora. A week's work by energetic members of the freshman class went up in smoke in short order on the Friday evening of the three day celebration when the big homecoming rally and bonfire was held. Songs, cheers, and a huge pep fest were the order of the evening. Alumni yell leaders took charge of the affair. S' Wayne Gilman and his hoboes paraded the downtown streets Saturday morning, advertising the big game of the afternoon, and creating a disturbance in general. Mid-afternoon found the largest crowd ever to watch a football battle on Pat- terson field on hand to help break in the new bleachers and to assist in Aurora's first homecoming celebration. While the varsity was busy defeating Morton 7-6, old time- Spartans entertained between the halves with a mock football game. Through the generosity of East High, the East High band, under the direction of Eddie Fitz- gerald, provided the music for the game. Saturday night found a tired but contented group of students and alumni gath- ered 'round the festive board in the dining hall for the first homecoming banquet. Homecoming and other Nuisances, by George Hall, and Homecoming, but don't eat all the doughnuts, by T. P. Stephens were the high lights of the banquet. A Aurora concluded her first homecoming by worshiping at the college church on Sunday morning. Former students and alumni took a prominent part in all serv- ices of the day. As Rome was not built in a day, neither was our first homecoming accomplished in thethree day period. For weeks, committees of students and alumni worked over the plans for the event. Huge advertising projects were swung, thousands of tick- ets were sold, bleachers were installed on the grid-and all this time Coach Snell and his charges were hard at work developing a team which would be able to make the day a real success by crowning it with a football victory. Aurora worked as one to insure the success of the venture. So well did they do their work that it has been decided to make homecoming an annual feature. Many wh-o were in the thick of it this year will be returning to future Aurora homecomings, probably to more lavish and pretentious celebrations, but never will they attend any homecoming from which they will receive the thrill of the first of them all, 1930. 4, V f.1.AA 4g:1.f,4.-LL4.AJkfb-+.g4.,4.A.A.A-f9 fifty-eight I 4 5 'ws 'N 'N 'fs N in we 'fr M N R vi IW Q.-.4 in Ht ll 'P IU l W' if H' if Fi H' 3 M!

A dearth of material, a lack of height,.and the ever present nemesis to ALl1'O1'H,S basketball hopes-the lack of a suitable gym-were all determin- ing factors in the off year. . . A , Faced by the prospect of building a new team because of the graduation of Barker and Gilkey, mainstays of last year's five,.Snell had to reconstruct his entire machine. Captain Ayton, Kess, Thornton, and Raines, next year's captain, 'were the only lettermen on hand when the opening call for cagers was given. .Dick Gray, a reserve player of the previous season, was also on hand trying to win a berth on the first teamg Quite a numberof freshmen turned out in hopes of grabbing off the vacant berths, and two of them, Seibert and Barr were successful in landing the first string 'forward positions. . S Une win out of thirteen starts constitutes the 1931 record of the Spartan five. Yet, despite the poor showing in the matter of victories, the majority of the games' were fairly close, and Aurorals opponents left the floor knowing that they had been ,through a real battle. W g ' The unusual 'shortness of 'the Blue and White kept them from coming. out on the long end of the score onigmore than one occasion. While their defensive work, featured by the stellar playing of Captain-elect Raines and his co-guard, Captain Ayton, was of a high order and was responsible for keeping the seaso-nls scores within respectable bounds, the Spartans were unable to work the ball in under the basket for' those close deadly shots because of the overtowering height of their op- ponents. ' V A A A l l The first problem confronting Snell at the commencement of the season was that of filling the all-important center position. Several men tried for this job, but Kess, captain and star forward of the previous year, was selected for the post. Despite his comparative shortness, Kess' gave a good account of himself at the pivot position. ' ' With Kess moved to center, both' forward positions' were left open. There was a grand scramble for these posts, but when the first game was played, Don Barr, former West High captain, and John Seibert, of Miinneapolis, were holding down the two places, and they were able to keep their jobs aga.inst all opposition through- out the season. S S e ' ' ' The least of Snell's cage problems was that of filling the guard positions. Ay- ton and Raines, both of them veterans of last year, were again on hand and had lit- tle trouble in hanging on to their jobs. Thornton did effective iwork as an alter- nate at guard on several occasions. ' , Special mention should also be made of Gray, Kinney, and Irwin who were always ready to fill in when needed. ' None of the first string men will graduate this year, insuring ai good start for next season.

Out of the nine games played, four were intercollegiate, and of these two were victories, both with Crane as the victim. Ayton was faced with much the same problem as Coach Snell in the matter of the height of his charges. Always at a disadmtagetbeeause of their size, the co-eds worked and fought hard to overcome their handicap, but in most cases it was too much for them. Considering the fact that they were playing for the first time ac- cording to men's rules, however, their record is really commendable. A large group of girls answered Ayton's call for cage material and a merry scramble for positions on the team ensued. VVhen theismoke cleared, and the team was functioning, they lined up as follows: Mabel Bair and Captain Evelyn Lull at forwards, Dorcas Morlock at center, and Harriet Andrew, Ruth Wellcome and- Juanita Demick at guards. In addition to these girls, Mildred.Stephan, Sara Espe, Ruth Troch, Charlcie Singleterry, and Evelyn Andrews also saw service on the Ayton-coached quintet.- i V The two Aurora forwards were a couple of fighters, never giving up, and al- ways going into the game for all they were worth. Yet both Bugs Bair and Evelyn Lull are short, and they found that they were handicapped a great deal when playing against the taller girls. Bugs, especially, found it difficult to compete against her taller opponents, but in spite of her diminutive size, she was down the floor like a streak, always trying and often succeeding. Her co-forward, Cap- tain'Lu11, was an inspiration to the team with her aggressiveness and fight. eAt center, Dorcas Morlock, a freshmen, turned in a fine performance. Al- though she got off to a slow start due 'to a sprained ankle, she soon made up for lost time and became one of the mainstays of the Spartan co-eds. A large group of veterans turned out for the guard positions, including Ruth Wellcome, Juanita Demick, Harriet Andrew, Charlcie Singleterry, and Evelyn Andrews. All fought hard for a place on the team, but the regular guarding work was usually handled by Ruth Wellcome, Harriet Andrew, and Juanita Demick. Juanita Demick is the only senior on the team this year, insuring a host' of material for next year's five. VVith one year of experience under the new playing rules behind them, the girls should be ready to go great next winter. f..a.A.J+ ,ss-.At.A.fv-LA.4.4.A.A.f+.,-gfg4A.AA-9 9 3 sixty-three b i ff uunnlv X 4 e Pueoos i l Bacle Rofwvi Snell CCoachj, Northup, Hall, Perkins, and Kinney.

PHQQOS BasebaH Hard times and the depleted condition of the Students' Association treasury this year necessitated the curtailment of the baseball season. Only ei ht a U g g mes were carded for the season, two each with Lisle, Wlieaton, North Central, and Joliet. Baseball was in much the same condition as the other sports when Captain Cod- ding and Coach Snell issued their call for players. Last year had seen the gradu- ation of the 1930 battery, ll-Tig Knightly and Jim Barker, and, as no reserve men were coming up for these places, Snell was conf' t rl b h surmountable obstacle. ion e y W at seemed to be an in- lt seemed that the situation was hopeless when the Spartans opened the season at lVheaton on April 8, and the Crusaders swamped the local tossers by a 31-3 count. However, in the interim between this contest and the North Central game of April ll, Schindlbeck's arm quit acting up and he was called on to work against the Naperville sluggers. VVhile the Cardinals 'won the ,game by -an 18-12 count, Schindlbeck showed that he knew what to do with a baseball when a batter was facing him, and though the infield looked somewhat ragged, they were still green, two of them, Ayton and Anderson both were playing their first game in the infield, while Raines was having his first experience behind the bat. -Practice and ex e p :.. rience should iron out the raggedness, however, and Aurora should have a fair team this year. Led by George Hall and Jake Schindlbeck, two of last year's leading sluggers, the Aurora nine should have a hitting team. Several of the newcomers seem to be developing into ,fair hitters as we go to press and though we do not wish to make any rash promises, this year's ,group looks to be one of the strongest at the bat of any in several seasons. . : From present indications, the 1931 baseball team will lineup about as follows: Schindlbeck, pitcher, Raines, catcher, Codding, first base, Ayton, second base, E. Anderson, third base, Cantrell, shortstop, Shaw, left field, Hall, center field, and Northup, right field. VVhen the robins returned from the south this year, they found the following veterans working out on Patterson Field: Schindlbeck, Hall, Shaw, and Captain Codding. i ' i George Hall, the big bertha of the Spartan nine, is back in his old position in center field. Ned Shaw, also a veteran outfielder, has been shifted from right to left field. Captain Codding is again holding forth at first, while the remainder of the nine is made of new material. Schindlbeck has been shifted from second to the pitcher's mound. . I Harold Kinney, a left-hander, has been working out as a pitcher, and will no doubt see service as a relief hurler during the season. . While the team is green this year, Kinney and Captain Codding are the only players Who will be lost through graduation. A host of material should.be on hand next Vear, therefore, and 1932 should see one of the best seasons in the history of the national pastime here at Aurora.

The hurried selection of a suitable play, the more hurried casting of parts, and the still more hurried effort to whip the production into shape, marked the preparation of the three act comedy for its successful presentation the last Friday eve- ning before Christmas vacation. The necessity of securing before midnight a bona fide fiance for their daughter, in order to meet the requirements of a will and thus prevent financial annihilation, occa- sioned the ruthless haste of Mrs. Hooker and her despairing husband. A football hero, a college professor, and a cowboy author were practically forced upon the unwilling and unsuspecting daughter. -Learning from her brother of her parents' predicament, she unselfishly agreed to marry the eccentric professor as a strictly business proposition, relenting almost as soon as she had given her word. By a bit of strategy, the conscientious young lady was able to save the Hookers from financial ruinand to marry her cow-boy author for love alone. Mrs. Mildred Singleterry coached the play, and was remarkably successful in over- coming the obstacles which confronted the class.

John Dawson The zealous- scheming of a wife with an impossible imagination provided problems in abundance in the freshman class play Her Step-Husband ,iwhich was presented Friday evening, March 20. ' ' ' 'sMrs.. Marshall, Hlled with a determination to impress her Aunt Emmy in 'order to secure for her infant son a share in his grandfath.er's estate, borrowed her neighbor's furnishings, transformed her husband into a butler, and finally in desperation borrowed a husband, with no end of complications resulting.. The borrowed husband soon had troubles of his own, for Aunt Emmy's travelling companion turned out to be his fiancee, and refused to listen to explanations. 1 Before the evening was over, the neighbor's silverware had been stolen, the child had disappeared, and the butler-husband had been placed in jail. But they couldn't fool Aunt Emmy, and after all had been properly humiliated, she was quick to forgive and to promise that little Willy would receive his share of the inheritance. The production was ably coached by Professor Clarence H. Hewitt, and com- mendation is due the freshman class for the high quality of theirifirst dramatic per- formance at Aurora College.

PHFIQOS 1.A,4.,1,,4,- Y Av The MGD fI'O.I'T1 Home This is the situation. A young American girl and. her even younger brother go to Europe after their father's death to absorb some of the famous old world culture. They become acquainted' with. an English i-noble, Lord Hawcastle, who displays amazing generosity in taki-ng these two under his fatherly wing. His sister-in-law, Lady Creech, becomes Ethel's chaperone. Under her tutelage Ethel becomes thor- oughly ashamed of her native land and is lifted' far above the mere American circum- stance of her birth. As soon as the Earl hias quite emancipated them from their own country and inculcated his own high ideals into them, he schemes to bring about the marriage of Ethel with his son Almeric, who is much more interested in a Certain fine bull terrier pup. However, Almeric is a very obedient son and finally proposes to Ethel who, with her newly acquired ideas ofthe worth attached to an- cestry and noble birth, accepts him. During this affair nineteen-year-old Horace has been' fascinated by the charms of a French countess, a friend of the Earl. The fact that the Earl's estate is mortgaged above its value and his creditors are pushing matters might' partially account for his eagerness for both these alliances. Ethel's solicitor, old Mr. Pike, whom she hasnft seen since she was a child, must leave his law business in Kokomo, Indiana, to see whatkind of a man his old friend's daugh- ter is marrying and arrange the matter ,of a settlement. 'E But Mr. Pike is not old. He is young, clever, and American. The idea of agirl paying 37505000 for the privilege of marrying a title strikes him as rather unique. Wheen he sees the object which goes with the title he absolutely rebels. Matters drift along in this way while he is repairing the car of a friend whom he met on his trip, a kindly German gen- tleman who is too common. for the English Ugentlefolkf' A Russian refugee appeals to Pike for protection against the Italian soldiers. Pike hires him as his friend's chauffeur, and the two conceal him. Lady Creech was watching these proceed- ings and tells the Earl. Here is his chance to win Pike's consent to- the settlement by threatening him with imprisonment. He gives him until ten o'clock that night to decide. In the interval Pike plays detective and at ten of'clock he produces the Russian Ivanoff as the husband of the Countess. Lord Hawcastle is the English- man who, while on business in Russia, stole Ivano'ff's wife and 550,000 of govern- ment funds Ivanoff was handling, and h,ad lvanoff sent to Siberia. At this tense moment Pike's German friend saves the day by revealing the fact that he is the Grand Duke of Russia. But Pike has not won yet, for Ethel feels that since the name was all she wanted she must take it now with all its disgrace, and help Al- meric bear up under the blow. When she finds that he is doing that remarkably well and still demanding the settlement to which Pike now consents, she 'feels free to speak her thoughts. Almeric leaves, thinking her a dreadful sort of a girl. As a culmination of Pike's dreams, Ethel contrarily insists that he will not have to live a solitary life, and to prove it sings for him his favorite song, Sweet Genevieve. We leave them there, but we are sure Pike didn't mumble his wo-rdsf' A-1.A.A-,:fs..+n.,v4-A-4kA-'4- - -Y4- 9 3 Aliidhvk- ' eighty-three ' f ix THE PHFKQOS 1 f i GEORGE H.

Dewing Room SENIOR GIFT Each year the class of 1931 has made a definite expression of its interest in and loyalty to Aurora College by means of some needed improvement. ln our freshman year we planted a group of evergreen trees, in our sophomore year a new American Flag was the gift, and in the junior year a sign was presented for use on or about the campus. Yet during these- years: a fund was accumulated upon which the class might draw for a fine memorial in the senior year. From a survey of the campus and build- ings it was found that one of the finest things that could be done would be the decorat- ing and equipping of a reading room. A roomgof this sort would answer several needs of the campus. The location selected was that of the old library on the first floor. This project the class of 1931 has undertaken, with Jack Tho-rnton chairman, and Charles Anderson, Elmer Lull, and Ruth Singleterry the other members of the com- mittee. - The work involved in redecorating the room has been done by the members of the class. At one time or another practically every member has helped in some way: either by removing old varnish and stain, by wielding a paint brush, by exercising with a piece of sandpaper, or by supplying the hard-working men with fudge. Through it all there was the master workman, Charles Anderson, who was very much, responsible for the painting, staining, and varnishing. ' ln equipping the room it was decided to make .American Colonial the predominate theme. To this end low radiators were installed, over which were placed window seats, a colonial -fireplace was built, and the other items of furniture have continued this theme. In securing equipment the class of 1931 has had its limited means Very materially increased by the co-operation of the administration, the faculty, .and friends. Dr. Dewing constructed the window seats and the book-cases which the faculty, mem- bers contributed. The beautiful oak mantel for the fireplace was the gift of Mr. Willis Marshall. The colonial table was the gift of Claralouise Lavis. The writing desk, through the courtesy of President Jenks, was the gift of Dr. Lounsberry. Mr. and Mrs. Percy R. Council also donated furniture. The classbalso had some cash donations from' two former class members: Doris Blanchard and Charlotte Cole. These contributions are thoroughly appreciated by the class of 1931, and with sincere gratitude we wish to acknowledge thernin this way. As the class adds to the furnish- ings from time to timeit will be our hope that this room will fill a larger place in the life of Aurora. ' I s ln considering the matter of naming the room the seniors pondered long and seri- ously, and finally came to the conclusion that it should be called The George H. Dewing Room. The class of 1931 has come to know and to love Dr. Dewing. We shall always remember him for his kindly counsel and cheerful assistance. We deem it a rare privilege to perpetuate in this way the name and memory of one who has taken such an active part in the life of Aurora College from those early days at Mendota.
