To contemplate, to muse, to ponder! To give back an image of! That is what our Beayer Tales endeav- ors to do. We hope that it will always serve as a happy reminder of golden days spent on the Blackburn campus. That you may reflect with us as you turn the pages, we offer you these memo- ries. We have deeply enjoyed experiencing them, may you enjoy their reflection. May it also serve as a momento of gracious and fruitful training in an atmosphere of friendly, intellectual pursuits. THE EDITOR Hudson Hall Butler Hall A dormitory with rooms for one hundred and twenty men, the hall is named for a generous friend, and for many years a trustee of the college, Burridge D. Butler. Dawes Gym nasz'um With students contributing almost seventy percent of the labor, Dawes gymnasium was opened in 1958. In addition to a regulation size basketball Hoot, the gym contains a well equipped stage for staging dramatic productions. Stoddard Hall Stoddard Hall, completed in 1924, houses eighty-eight women stu- dents, the college laundry, student health center and the uB453aver Den, Student recreation center. 4W MMMJWW H. jones-A llz'son Hall The newest addition to the Blackburn campus, Jones-Allison was dedicated in the fall of 1949. It houses the dining hall, home economics labs, and rooms for sixty-eight upperclass women. Janey Rock Garden The Rock Garden, located behind jones Hall is a favorite resting place. Robertson Hall A link with Blackburn's past is Robertson Hall, the Oldest building on the campus. Built in 1880 it is named for Dr. W. R. Robertson of Car- linville. Dedication Emersonis statement that i'An institution is but the lengthened shadow of a man comes close to being literally true of Blackburn. Our College would not be what it is if Dr. and Mrs. Hudson had not come here, and if they had not put thirty-three years into the upbuilding of the institution. They built their characters and their ideals into the College to such a degree that Black- burn will reflect these qualities for decades to come. When Dr. Hudson came to Blackburn there were not more than 35 students in the College and in the academy then operated by the College. Blackburrfs financial resources were so meagre as almost to be non-existent. We had no work plan. There were two buildings. When he retired there were about 300 students, six buildings, a famous work plan, and a large endowment. These physical, tangible improvements were matched by a deep and strong spirit of enthusiasm and of faith. Dr. Hudson was ably assisted in all his work by Mrs. Hudson, whose devotion to Blackburn was at least as great as his. Blackburn is fortunate that the Hud- sons came here. We are glad to salute them, and to honor their achievements. ROBERT P.

A presentation of a Spring Concert is also a tradition of the Choir. Mr. Lowels sense of humor and understanding nature toward the Choir were an inspiration to all who worked under him.

The Blackburn Players have always been one of the most popular groups on the campus. Like most theatrical organizations, the Players function for a dual purpose: to entertain, and to provide interested students with an opportunity to develop their histrionic talents. In achieving this goal, the Players have maintained a con- sistently high standard of performance. That the Players have achieved this goal is attested by some of their successful presenta- tions in past years. In the Spring of 1948 the Blackburn Players presented Death Take; a Holiday. The following Springthe Players gave their version of Ammo and 0ch Law, a very popular, contem- porary farce. Last year the Players presented Wiutm'et, a dynamic diatribe against American justice. The 1950 Players Production of Wintemt Players in Retrospect The Players of this year, therefore, were faced with the disquieting prospect of maintaining both prestige and interest in view of the fine reputation the preceding dramatic organizations had garnered. The Players made their first bid with three one-act plays, presented in late October. The choice of plays in this series was governed by a desire to please every kind of theatrical taste. The dramas given at this time were The Riyz'ng of the Moon, Action and drama in TiWhere the Cross is Made by Lady Gregory; The Twelve P010151 Louh, by james Barrie; and Where the Craft 1'5 Made, by Eugene O'Neil. In December the Players gave a highly successful ten- dition of Charles Dickens' Chrixtmax Carol. This play was adapted from the original story, and was given an unusual twist when it was presented in the round ; that is, with- out any other stage facilities but lights. The play was presented in Butler Parlor to an appreciative audience. After a crack at the Wassail bowl Schniepp and Bart, the Siamese twins of stage construction. Prior to this year, the drama club had produced only one major three act play. This year the Players increased their usual schedule by giving an extra major production in addition to the regular Spring play, which is the highlight of the Players' Calendar. And so in early March the Players brought Ten Lillie Indian; t0 the boards. This sholw-piece of suspense proved to be two hours of good theatre. Shakespeare's, The Tragedy ofKing Lmr, presented on Parentsl Weekend climaxed the Players' successful season. Shorty Pfaff, make-up artist extraordinaire, laughing at her artistic monster. Ten Little Indians being murdered in rehearsal No review ofa dramatic organization could be complete With- out mention of the hours of hard labor which rehearsals demand of the actors. Rehearsals mean the difference between a polished and a mediocre performance. The acceptance of a part in any play places an obligation on a student to put his or her heart into the particular role into which he is cast. Such concentration can be explained only by a genuine love for the theatre. To be a Thespian is to be a worker. Nor can any review be complete without men- tion of the director, Mrs. John Forbes, who gave many hours of direction to her charges, Mrs. Forbes imparted an added strength to the Players which made the task of the officers, Mike Powers, Don Darling, and Jackie Ball, much, much easier. Set designing is an integral part of any stage production; this year, Jim Schniep once again took over the Herculanean task of designing his capable sets. Lewie Barr. the right arm of the Players, also devoted his competent talents to constructing the sets. And it would also be it grave injustice not to cite the unstinted efforts of the behind the scene crews, such as lighting, property, make-up, and costuming. All of these people merged into a well- oiled machine which gave the Players the reputation as being one of the most entertaining and elhcient organizations on the Blackburn campus. The Players also sponsored theatrical trips to St. Louis. These trips were designed to acquaint stu- dents with the latest developments of tl:e stage. These projects were under the direction of John Woodrow. TALENT NIGHT It is a tradition at Blackburn to set aside one evening at the beginning of the school year for the display of student talent. Each dorm participates, with a prize going to the one that presents the best entertainment. judg ment is based on originality, appropriateness, arid the number of students taking part. This year Butler won the prize with a series of skits, both humerous and enter- raining.

THE BLACKBURN BEAVERS Captain Russell Boekenheide and Coach William Ktueger The Blackburn Beavers 1950-1951 basketball season was both a season of upsets and inspiring basketball. This years team coached by Bill Krueger and led by Captain Russel Boekenheide opened the season by de- feating Lincoln Bible 81 to 59. The lack of returning lettetmen and team experience proved to be a deciding factor in the loss of several of the games during the early part of the season, but the Beavers were able to come back and upset Principia and Hannibal-LaGrange before the first semester terminated. The second semester presented a new problem to Coach Krueger, since several key players were lost from the team. Reserve players, whose merit had not been seen in previous games, were called upon to fill the vacancies, and the Beavers, even though losing several games away from home, came through in a remaining home game to beat Harris Teachers College. The Beavers ended the season with a 6 and 14 record. , Blackburn. Blackburn . Blackburn. Blackburn. Blackburn. Blackburn. Blackburn . Blackburn. Blackburn . Blackburn. Blackburn. Blackburn.
