IIEN in the cycle of lnnnan events there conies a pause, we realize to some sinall extent the significance, the worth, of that which has gone before. Such at pause is this, our floinniencenient. Now, sobered by the thoughts of sail farewells and partings we see ourselves in a lrne liglit.-wliat we are. what we have accomplished, and what we hope forg and in this calm realization of ourselves and in the sadness of our partings there is an ennobling in- tluenee, in the embrace of which we now rest and resolve our- selves to greater attainients, not niaterial perhaps, but attain- nienls ol' the spirit and the soul. Above all we are brought to :1 l'nller realization of the worth of friendship. We, the class of '25, bound together in Blackburn by ties whieh shall never break, are soon to dissolve our union here anrl enter into new relations with life. We have loved Black- hnrn and shall ever love herg we shall look to her in after years proud that she is our Alma Mater. Wliatever' our record here, we shall strive, strive to realize the ideals we have formed here: strive to reach the end ol? that road upon which We are stzlrterl. - -l ------ 1925 -M ---- Q--fl-W-M Page Thirty-l ou1' 1 I in in 1.-.11-..,-.,..,...m- - - - - --- The Blaclcburnian '-- - - ii- Some Years Hence. HE Oldest Hat sat in the dusky recess of the tower and sighed. This was the last day he should see the Sopho- mores as a happy united class graeing the campus of old l-3. U. Just that morning they had received their parchment scrolls and soon they would scatter to all corners of the earth. He had watched and loved the class of '25 in all their serious- ness, study and trolic. Now he too would leave so that 'their absence could not add dread melancholy to his already aged frame. VVith a. sad smile shining through his I:3at's tears, he bade a last farewell to his ancient habitat, and slowly flew straight into the sunset. On and on and on-into the vast universe, nor did he pause until a small planet, ten light years distant from this earth offered at final resting place for his weary bones. He looked toward the distant earth, adjusted his telescope and stared. Wliat sight did meet his eyes! Some of his beloved sophomores actually loomed troin the infinitesimal sphere. Being a bat he could not understand that what he saw was happening in 1935. The National Oapitol was the scene ot a fierce political struggle and Raymond Bradley was the eloquent, fiery orator of the day. Clarence Peebles, Secretary of State, was approv- ingly dignified in a heated discussion with Marguer'ite Preston, representative from lllinois. Helen Wilclti cliarmingly and efficiently served as the President's private secretary. . . . Speeding along the highway to New York was Lester Olson intending to meet his wife who was scheduled to appear that evening in the Metropolitan Opera House with Nancy Ohallacombe, both great prima donnas.

Practice daily during class periods, in the lialls, and especially during chapel exer- cises. You may bceolne ring agents or sell Vitola someday, so avail yourself of this opportunity. 5. Always be ready to assist your neighbor in recitations, and on exauiinatious. He will appreciate it and will probably return the favor. 6. Develop tlie bluifing habit. lt will save time and tliouglit, also an excess amount of studying. 7. Advise the faculty as niueli as possible, taking great precaution to keep tlielu. in a. good luunor when you Wish a favor. 8. lf you wish to dispose of waste paper, remain where you are sitting, take aim, and hurl it at the Waste basket. Perliaps it may drop in. lf not, the janitor will sweep it up. 9. Most college students are afflicted with indigestion, therefore chew gum constantly. Wlieii it becomes stale toss it on the floor-it'll stick. Besides, the janitor enjoys scrap- ing it up with a putty knife, as it offers l'1i1n good training in ealisthenics. ---------M: 1925 -it-------.-- Page Forty-Six Svvninr Amhvmg The Biacicburnian - ---'--- - ' - UNO FREDERICK TENHUNEN, Palmer, Michigan Philo, Y.

AVING lived these many years, lily children, a.11d being weary of lite, I wish to set before your innocent minds before I depart from this vale ol' sorrows some of the wisdom I have gained during my time. lf, by doing this, I may prevent some serious mistakes, such as over-devotion to studies, or holding the wrong hand when the dining-hall lights go out, I shall not have labored in vain. Nothing could be more appropriate than to relate the fates of the long ago members of the Senior Cllass of '25. liy applying appropriate morals to these brief tales, I may aid in the uplift of future generations of Blackburn. 'Fhereforeg CU Beware of lavish dispensation of that most delicate organ, the heart. Poor Mrs. Dorothy Dorsey Arthington made this fatal mistake in her youth and has been ever since a most pitiful example of subjugated womanhood, C25 Study all subjects with equal intensity. The renowned Uno Ten- hunen, having followed this principle faithfully, has risen steadily in educa- tional lines, and has recently been appointed Secretary for the Board of Edu- cation of Ant-eaters in New South Wzilcs. C31 Beware the folly of becoming enamoured of rising young women decorators. Old Joel Bostick has a paralyzed back at sixty-tive, and all from carrying too much crepe paper for Valentine parties, C45 Learn the modern languages while you may. Thelma Arnold has never given up wishing that she had studied Italian while at Blackburn. It is so convenient to be able to understand one's better half. C55 Decide your career early in life and stick to it. Vincent Huck having started on his scientific researches while an innocent lad at Iilackburn, has now become one of our leading elevator boys, and moves in the highest society. C63 Beware of false pride. A sad example of this is Yvonne Rapeer. She having at last learned to play something besides The Old Oaken Bucket expired in a tit of ecstacy. 1 ---------- - 1925 - ----- -- Page Fifty - - - - - - - --- The Blaclcburnian lit 1 C7jl Use your mind. Take, for example, the well-known Elmer Loehr. Always having been noted for his singular aeuteness, he has now developed a means for filling vessels by gradually removing the contents, the principle of which he discovered while a Physics student at Blackburn. Q85 Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well. Having followed this precept while a dinner-cook at Blackburn Cher dishes were always well donej Ella Allsup has been well-rewarded. Both of the Bankson's, indeed, seem to be remarkably well-fed. C95 Choose your wearing apparel with an eye to business. Gene Me- flahan, made famous by the harmonies issuing' from his musical shoes, has now obtained fame on the vaudeville stage as Phe Human Gate-Hinge - You WO11'l Believe lt until You Hear Him. C102 Punctuality is the keynote of success. Take, for example. Lois Kirk- wood. Having always been the essence of punetuality while a humble co-ed at Blackburn, she has now risen to the office of head inspector at the 'Ingersoll factories. lt is said that she can detect errors in watches even to half a second, CThe dollar ones, one presumes, have been overlooked by her pierc- ing eye.j Cllj Don't be too sure of youramissioniin life. Dorothy Chism always intended to specialize in Home Economics-by experiment or otherwise- but could one see her now, guiding the youth of Blackburn on its stumble to knowledge via Caesar 's Gallic Wzirs who would imagine she once had visions of a. potato-peeler all her own? 112D Woiiieii can make their mark in life as well as men. Rose Muirlieid always believed in this, and has come to her own at last. Although married she is one of the leading glass-blowers in Illinois, besides typewriting her bet- ter half's sermons as a side-line. Thus I end my tale-and may you profit by it-for it is only in extreme youth that the mind is flexible. flt goes without saying that this applies only to those fortunate enough to believe themselves possessed of afore-mentioned minds.D ------------me 1925 r -a----------- Page Fifty-One 1 Th Bl kb ' if 5 .TL 'IJ ,- H 1 r - .C Q ' +1 -Y.

VVQ cannot, with justice, speak of the lfootball season without l'G'l:01'Q'l1CC to o111' coach, Harold Hall. Mr. Hall played on l5l,2lClilJL11'11iS football team in 15123 Cklflllllg' so111e fame i11 the lgl21Clillllfll-TGZl,Cl1Gl',S Norinal ganie when he dived over two 111911 to make a Clean tackle. Hall, also, played 'on the Carlin- ville Independent teain at the time when that team was about the best in this part of the state. Coach Hall knows l1is game tlioronglily. This sunnnei' he studied at the University of Illinois under the great ll161'lJCO1'S of the country. He knows-how to handle nien and niake theni work for him, which is essential in putting out a good teani. Coach and players lllLlSt work together-and that is just what Hall and his men did. The result is the best team Blackburn has had since 15120. It has been due to the efforts and patience of Coach Hall that our teani made the showing it did. We of Blackburn like Coach Hall-iinmensely, We Feel that he has given us the best that he has: and in our opinion he has been successful here. -----------:11925g,---,------- Page Sixty-Four The Blaclcburnian MIKE GIBBONS, Guard. I Gibbons, the gridiron gelatinizer is a noted artist. There are many people who can make gelatin in the pitcher but there are very few who can make gelatin of their opponents. Gibbons is one of these few. When Gibbons is through his opponents look like a griggy groggy mass. JOE BYRNE, Halfback. Byrne. the ball-bearing back, is as quick as .frreased lightning. Gridsters trying to intercept Byrne resemble Diogenes looking for an honest man -he thinks he has him but is always disappointed. The only thing that hinders Byrne from being a great man is his weightg he only weighs 129 pounds. POP DORSEY, Halfback. Dorsey, the dcughty downer, is as -full of grit and sand as the Sahara Desert. Dorsey is small but be bowls over those 200-pound men like nine-Dins. When he hurt his ankle he didn't mind the pain so much but he almost went because he could not get out on the iield and get hurt, again. JERRY CHOBOT, End. Chobot, the Chicago comet, is certainly fast. Like 21' Comet Jerry always has stars on his trail. Wl1e1i he shoots by his opponents and tackles the ball- carrier, his opponents feel like the Hessians when Washington crossed the Delaware and fell upon them. SHIRLEY GADDIS, Guard. Gaddis. the great gap-maker,' weighs about 187 pounds. The fellow whom he hits feels Very much like the man would feel who is under the Leaning Tower of Pisa when it leans too far. Gaddis' op- ponent has about as much chance of getting off unliarrned as has a Celluloid dog chasing an asbestos cat through Hades. BANKSON, Tackle. Bankson, the bellicose barrier, is noted for a certain tackle he made-one which Dr. Braden thought was the prettiest tackle he had seen in a long time. When Bankson gets started his opponent just natura.lly blows up-in smoke. If Bankson can dominate' affairs in domestic life as he can on the gridiron he'll live to a green old a.ge. 4 ----------------M 1925 Page S'i1'z'y P12 c The Blaclcburnian H ---------- HAIVI TALLMAN, Quarterback CCaptain-Electj. Tallman, the tearing tornado, is as elusive as Leo Koretz was. It seems as easy for Tallman to reel off 35, 45 and 65 yard runs as for Red Irving to flirt with the female species. Tallman was a member of Carlinville High Schoolts famous football team. WORCESTER GREEN, End. Green, the grand ground gainer, is as elusive as the words of the Star Spangled Banner. As Brutus' sword went through Caesar, so Green goes through his opponent. He slips through their line as easily as money slips through Mayhew's iingers. BU RTON N ESBITT, End. Nesbitt, the nimble neck-breaker, descends from Copernicus who tried to make people believe that -the sun stands still and the earth goes round. Nesbitt is a true descendant of his ancestor. Often on the gridiron Nesbitt has made his opponents believe that the earth goes round. When he is not playing foot- ball Nesbitt is a very quiet fellow. BERNARD BAILEY, Tackle. Bailey, the banging, battering-ram, is another noted person. He is a descendant of the astronomer Galileo who showed people the stars through a tele- scope. Bailey is a true disciple of his ancestor. Although he doesn't study astronomy in Blackburn's observatory Cotherwise known as the pill-housej he gives many an opponent a. view into the great stellar system. . CAPTAIN BRADLEY, Center and Fullback. Bradley, the baletul bean-buster, certainly showed in the Lincoln game that the confidence involved in the captaincy was not misplaced. They had about as much chance of gaining ground through Bradley as Wehking had of knocking out Jack Dempsey. Bradley made life miserable for Principia too, when he showed his versatility by playing fullback. LYNN LEMAY, Center and Fullback. Lemay, the lambasting line-crusher, is another one of Carlinville's champion gridsters. He is a star drop-kicker and passer. Lemay goes after his man like Cicero went after Cato-he thwarts him at every turn.. Agman like Lemay has as much chance of keeplng in the back ground as Huck has of getting Dot Dorsey away from Arthington. , 1925- iiil ----- ------ + - - Page Sixty-Sim --1-' ----- 1 The Bkzclclnurnian 1- ------ 1-- The Football Season of '24.

Well, well, listen folks! Blackburn is at last represented by a tennis team. 'I'liat for which the Tennis Association has worked for years, has been brought about. The material on hand is the best we've had in years and there is every prospect of a successful season. As we go to press, the schedule and the mem- bers ot the team are unknown. However, the ,team will probably be chosen from the 'following stars, To take them alphabetically Joe Byrne is the lirst one to consider. lt is a pleasure to watch Byrne play because of his pretty form. His serve is good, he is fast on his feet, and his game is well rounded. We haven lt seen Byrne at his best but we expect great things of him when in form. Don C,'anieron is noted for his steadiness. His strokes are good but not brilliant, and not especially fast. However, he is very steady, especially quick on his feet, and can place the ball accurately. His game is well rounded. Harold Mayhew 's forte is his drive. Mayhew is tall and has a Hboard- ing house reach. His special weakness, like most of the Blackburn players, is his back hand. liet. him strengthen his baekhand and he will be a formid- able opponent indeed. ' fffulbert Rutenber, president of the Tennis Association, has a good serve and pretty good ground strokes, but his backhand and volleys are only fair. When he is at his best, he is hard to beat.

N looking over the Philo minutes of 1924-5, one conjures up many images ot the various programs and activities of the twousemesters. Let us glance at a. page here and there and call to mind the events of the year. 'ttlctober l7th. . lnitiation oli new members -does that not remind one of l'llG.l'lll'llllllg evening when. the trembling new comers shiveredion the plat- form in deliightlul -sell'-consciousness? Surely the large number was partly due to the Jolly wiener roast at the very beginning of the year, when the homesick ones were cheered and thus became attached to Philo 'For life. . October Zllst, One-aet play, 'Miss Civilization' -surely a clever and well-worked out leature. And who could forget how realistically those burg- lars devoured the supper? November Zlst. Visit from some old Philos, Miss Carvetli, Miss Lott, Mr. Wilsoii and Mr. Davis. This made the new .members glad they were Philos, even though it was so hard to decide. . December 12th. One-act play, t'l'he 'lleeth of the Gift-Horse , Fast- moving plot, good scenery, and fine directing by Stella. Nelson. Y t'January 16th. WOl'CQStGl' Green installed as a member of Philo -great excitement, but everyone pleased after all. 'tJanuary 233111. New officers take their places -all goes well except for increased palpitation of the heart. Lukey gives farewell address. Everyone sorry to see him go, t'February 13th. Jack Callaway in feature -Jackie appears in long trousers I 'tFebrua.ry 20th. 'l'hree new members initiated -the new mid-year stu- dents seem to gravitate to Philo. t'March 20th. lntra-murals -lntras! 'Ilhe Pinks, led by Elsie Flentje, against the Greens, led by WOI'CQSfG1' Green. Debates and things. 'llhe read- ings were a delightful surprise. 'tlVla.rch 27th. Results of the lntra-lllurals -thrills! The Greens win. But t.he Pinks were fine. Gertrude Green in the vocal solo and both of the features were exceptional. Oh, Hortense! And will Woi'cest.e1' ever forget the mushroom ketchup? HApril 3rd, Philo Banquet.'l-Chickenl And speeches by Miss Wzlcle and the leaders of the two sides. Everyone heaves a sigh as the lntras are over, and wonders about the lnters. To be or not to be? That certainly is the question. In spite ot the work they entail, one does not like to see old traditions disappear. And so to close our book for this year and always hope-for Philo! ----------.--it 1925 -i------------ Page Seventy-Five lliiifi The Blackburnian Young Men' s Christian Association C abinet.

HE aim ol? the Y. M. U. A. of Blackburn College is to bring students into a close friendship with Jesus Christg to promote their growth in faith and character, especially tln'ough prayer, and bible studyg and to chal- lenge students to serve in unity with all Christians in extending the kingdom of God throughout the world. Inestimable good has been done throughout the past. year, by those who held Various offices. Mr. Prehn was elected president and performed his duties well. He was sent to the Officers Training Q'onl'erence at Chicago from which he brought much inspiration and plenty of pep. The members of the Fabinct learned to think highly of Mr. Prehn through their association with him as a leader. He was enthusiastic, fervent in spirit, and ready to tackle any problem. Mr. Stewart as vice-president was a 'faithful workerg always ready to help in any way possible. Mr. Chobot is to be commended on his work as secretary. Mr. Anderson, as treasurer, resigned in the midst. of the year and Mr. Magill was elected to this position. The work of the committee men was also of much importance, especially that of Mr. Beinkc, of carrying the gospel message to the county jail. lt was through Mr. Beinke efforts that Lester Kahl. a prisoner condemned to hang, was converteclg so that when the trap door was sprung he entered eternity with calm assurance. ' The poor farm work was carried on successfully during the past winter, due to the co-operation of the Y, W. C. A. There is a vital need of christian work in the worldg and the cabinet and various committees tried to make the students see this need and the efficacy of Jesus Christ to fulfill it. Two delegates attended the Peoria Conference and returned to the campus with a deterinination to push the Y. M. C. A. work to the limit. Two dele- gates also attended the Lake Geneva Conference and received much inspira- tion. The Cabinet attended an inter-collegiate conference at Alton. The Y. M. C. A. has had some failures in the past year but more successes. May the new members profit by these failures in the contemplation of the work for the coming year. . ------------ 1925 ----------- - Page Sc'Uc11,ly-Seven - - - - - - ----- The Blaclcburfnian H- - - - - - Young Women's Christian Association Cabinet Betty Huek, PIT-3SlLl'ClE1'E Stella Nelson Helen Wioldt Nlt2LvIi?1l'l'lS Rose Muirheid 4 Cluribel Robinson Florence McMlchael Ethel Dickey Paig Chambers Marjorie Griffin Elma Allsup -M----------H-1925 -l---------- Page Seventy-Eight '----5433 The Blackburnian 1-1---3--- Young Women's Christian Association.. HE work of the Y. W. Cf. A. for the year 24- has been successful and varied. Interest was keen from the arrival of the first new girls in the fall to the satisfactory close of the years work. The old Y. W. C. A. nieinbers, to-gether with the nieinbers of the Y. M. C. A. gave a reception at the first of the iCl'lll to the new students, which helped JEl1G11l to get into the spirit of fellowship of these Ol'g?l111lZtl.lTl0l1S. O11 Valentines day the girls gave a party, as is the annual custoin, to the boys, i11 return for their entertainment at Hallowe 'en for the girls. . While 21 fine social spirit has been enjoyed, this is not all the yearis recordg ll1llCl1 real work has been accoinplished as well. At the regular Sun- day afternoon meetings, the plan was carried out of putting each tinie a dif- ferent girl ill charge of the program. Besides the interesting prograrns pro- vided, the participation awakened among the 111Gll'1bP1'S a. more active interest. Among other features, Mrs. Braden and Mrs. Boyle gave delightful talks. ,Miss Gertrude Swallen, a representative of the Student, Volunteer Move- nient canie here and gave a very interesting talk on Foreign Missions to both the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. Sonie of the regular Sunday nieetings were supplanted by joint visits with the Y. M. C. A. to the County Poor Farm. The Missionary Connnittee led by Miss Cowan, niet. a number of times and studied the negro question, i'.I'OIll the discussion of the book, 'fThe Negro, an American Asset. The Y. W. C. A. sent Miss Cowan as their representative to the Student Volunteer convention at Eureka. Later a complete report of this convention was given by Miss Wildt and Miss Cowan. The Student Volunteers contribute much to the interest and appreciation in Y. W. C. A. work at Blackburn. -----------411'-1925-1------------- Page Sciienty-Nine Yvwelfackburnhnilliiiifff -WM-1925------:t--- --'- --A- Page Eighty Ellvzuturvn 1g1::g:f: Y7wzfHackburnUu154--'U'-4 '- ky --------www119Z5:Wh--------- Page Eighty-Two ' ' ' The Blackburnian 3- --'- - ---- - ---- - ---- - -'-- ----- .1 Q 'sv .- 41 ,,g-1,1Q,?,1 ,1,.,. ., .. . .9-5 -1:-se -1-:- .af - .1-s1:sf111Q1-in 1 .1 x x ' 1 .5 5. .--1 -- .11 1.1 P15 A-1+ --if 1-.:Y:1w.i'1Q 4r'f rd 'iff' K Q..

The Clhariu School, a comedy in three acts by Alice Duer Miller Sa Robert Milton was presented by the Ortho Literary Society at the Marvel Theatre on March '18 to a full house despite adverse weather conditions. The play received much favorable ci'-itieisui. The special- ties between the acts were especially well done owing to the efforts of the coach Miss Nan E. Wade. Austin Hevans, an automobile salesman with icleas is left in charge of an exclusive girls' boa,rding school. He thinks girls should be taught to be charniing, well-mannered, low- voieed. The girls catch his spirit all too readily with such an object of adulation before then'iQ Mr. lflevaus' ensnaring iuaseuline charms disturb the peaceful, throb of as inany feminine hearts as the senior class can boast of. Elise Benedotti, however, possesses charin in a super- lative degree which even Mr. lievans cannot withstand.
