+ blackburn college carlinville, 1 inois Blackburn Character “(Blackburn) is not an easy place, but char- acter is not developed in the easy places, and the great purpose here is to combine the opportunity to earn one’s way in life in a community that tends to develop character —to make men and women as well as scholars.” — Dr. William M. Hudson The Blackburn character is a composite of the individual actions and beliefs of all stu- dents. This character is important to all of us because we must be able to function within it to meet all the personal and academic de- mands imposed upon us. We are all respon- sible for its creation and change. Some of the self-discipline necessary to our character is acquired through the usual pro- cess of accustoming ourselves to the demands of the academic schedule and those imposed by the social regulations, a process common to all students at all colleges. At Blackburn, however, the discipline goes farther in that we are participating in a work program which is vital to the functioning of the college. As the year progresses, we gain an understanding of the interrelation of our work and well- being. The work program which thus has such a large effect on the experience of Blackburn promotes a quiet kind of responsibility which, although assumed as a matter of course, re- quires an extra modicum of effort from all students. The responsibilities inherent in extra-cur- ricular activities must be shouldered ‘on top of full class and work loads. This also is as- sumed quite willingly. A large part of the Blackburn character is the realization of our interdependence and pride in our accomplishments. As we take part in Blackburn life, we be- come aware of a spirit of genuine concern for others as well as ourselves. This spirit is manifested in a general willingness to help one another when problems arise. There is always someone near to offer financial or academic help. Does someone need a sub for work or a ride home? There is always an offer of aid. If one is ill or just in need of moral support, someone is there, This cohesiveness knows no distinctions such as class rank or social or monetary standing. Being of assist- ance is not considered a sacrifice, although it often does entail at the least loss of pre- oe ROR acre lS, cious time. Although we must be responsible for our work assignments, we voluntarily con- tribute this concern. The Blackburn “hi” is a verbal recognition of our basic unity in re- sponsibility for the whole of Blackburn life— a unity we created and we perpetuate. It is possible that our basic unity is that which makes us tolerant of our diversity as expressed in our personal relationships, extra- curricular activities, and most importantly, the informal groups of which we are a part. This diversity is the component of our char- acter which makes it vital and responsive to change. The source, means and end of this vitality is within the student body. The source is the individual student; the means, his as- sociations in informal groups; and the end, the Blackburn character, a fluid, changing and growing entity, Although there are many informal associations on campus, both well- defined and rather amorphous, Blackburn students tend to reject the process of labelling others. An individual can become the type of person he wishes to become. Because Blackburn is comparatively small, the chances for a broad system of relation- ships are present. There are numerous re- quired and extra-curricular activities in which we have a chance to meet others. Acquaint- ances can be made through proximity in Sessions sgt ee ee classes, work, dormitories or in other struc- tured activities. From this point may develop many enriching group or personal associations in a more unstructured pattern. Our size may be one reason for the fluidity and change in our informal relationships. Students are not molded to fit the group; the group grows through the evolving association of students. We often have personal friends and ac- quaintances who belong to different circles. Through these friends, we may enter into dis- cussions with other members of this group, thus giving us an opportunity to make a per- sonal evaluation of the group in relation to our own interests. As we grow older , our in- terests may change which in turn may lead to a re-shuffling of the associations in which we participate. At Blackburn, this is a com- paratively easy process because most of the informal groups are willing to include anyone with like attitudes or interests. Even if a person remains with a particular circle of friends, participation in this group is no guarantee of insulation from the influ- ence of other such associations. We continue to meet individuals involved in other groups in much the same manner we met those with whom we presently associate. Because of this influence and interaction, we are constantly challenged to mature in our understanding of ourselves and others, especially when the be- liefs of others are not the same as our own. This influence is beneficial as it contributes to the growth of the individual’s character and the vitality of the Blackburn character. Karen Anderson ost $= - LH i i ui ul Heya tl g Hah i ly!

Each spring candidates for this committee are selected from student, faculty and administration nominations. A weeklong work school culminates in a written exam after which each work committee member selects three student for try-out positions, Each of the three students chosen for a particular position is given a week in which they assume responsibility for that department. Following three try-out weeks, the retiring work committee members select the new committee. The 1967-1968 men’s and women’s work heads were Dick Leighninger and Sue Sharp. ‘They were responsible for assigning work schedules and_ serving on the Administration Committee to the College. Dale Bala, as Bookstore Head, was responsible for both the bookstore and mail room. Dale added several new items to the products already sold in the bookstore as well as selling textbooks and other school supplies. Assisting Dale were Roy Moats in the bookstore and Sally DeVoe in the mail room. Responsible for assigning desk workers and _secre- taries to the faculty and administration was Mary Jo King. This year Mary put desk workers on a rotation schedule and cut secretaries’ hours to only the number needed by the faculty. Mary Jo also attempted to keep a record of all overtime and undertime of the secretaries. Merle Sternberg and her assistants, Pat Hewing, Julie Sands, Sarah Wilson, John Cokinos, and Ken Newgren, instigated several changes in the dining hall. All evening meals, except Wednesdays, were changed from family style meals to progressive family style meals. Ann Bush and Roger Hill provided live music at every evening meal and at every Sunday dinner. Auxiliary lines were introduced for cafeteria style meals to accommodate the larger enrollment. Not only did Merle and her assistants organize every regularly scheduled meal, but they also arrarge] the special buffets for Homecoming and Parents’ Weekend. Sherry Jensen, C. H. C. Anderson Student Center Head, not only scheduled workers, kept accounts in order, and helped promote a friendly atmosphere in the Den, but also found time to expand the variety of items offered. Janitor Head Bob Lindahl placed his janitors under a permanent schedule which attempted to give them regular hours but allow some freedom in the times at which they worked. Men having work fines and un- dertime were organized by Bob so that the windows and all campus buildings were given a thorough clean- ing. Assisting Bob was Ed Dulaney. Linda Tarr, janitress head, and her assistant Linda Stanley, were responsibile for the cleaning and upkeep of the offices and women’s dorms. Linda had her jan- itresses work on a permanent schedule and supervised the work very closely. Edith Tarr, laundry head, and her assistant Pat Let- kusky, made two major innovations for the laundry. Edie established a new work record sheet and instigated the use of notices concerning laundry work. 15 | | | : : Gary Walden, kitchen head, working with Leon Schwalbe, Slater Food’s representative at Blackburn, was responsible for all kitchen workers. By dividing the kitchen into two areas, the salad room and the main kitchen, Gary attempted to have kitchen work accomplished more efficiently. Assisting Gary in the salad room was Denise Wright. Dennis Schell assisted in the main kitchen. Responsible for all kitchen maintenance was Wayne Joplin. Under Wayne’s direction, the kitchen and salad room were cleaned and scoured daily. Assisting Wayne were Roger Williams and Wayne Savageau. New Construction and Campus Maintenance head was Toufic Abouzeid. Under Toufic and Mr. Lemas- ter’s direction, the exterior of Lumpkin Library was completed and the interior work begun. A new feature of campus maintenance was the addition of girls to the crews. The girls swept sidewalks, trimme1 bushes and painted walls in some of the buildings. Assisting Toufic on New Construction was Ed Buchs. Campus Maintenance assistants were Don Pardue and Kim Crumpler. Naturally many work conflicts and problems arose, but the Work Committe, under the supervision of Miss Marion Carlson, managed to solve them quickly and maintain smooth work operations throughout the year. The Firing Head’s duties have been greatly reduced since Stoddard Hall and Hudson Hall have had indi- vidual heating system installed. However, George Rot- tinghaus, as Firing Head, still has many duties. Until Dawes Gymnasium has its heating system installed, George and his workers must continue to use the old firing system. Also, George checks the new systems to keep them in top working condition. 17 18 Student Council The Student Council, reflecting the views and de- sires of the students, has been working vigorously to update the social regulations on campus. Extensive work has been done to revise women’s hours. Co-chairmen Cheryl Kugath and Leslie Swan- son worked tirelessly on research for the proposal and met with Student Council members to formulate the proposed new regulations. Changes included key privi- leges for junior and senior residents women and ex- tended hours for all resident sophomores and fresh- men. ‘The proposal was passed by the Student Coun- cil and faculty; a committee is working out the details and hopefully, the new regulations will be implemented the coming year, 1968-69. Other issues at hand in Council include minor revisions in the motor vehicle regulations, amendments to elect the Student Council President at large and to hold primary elections for representatives. At present, the Student Council is making plans to join the NSA, the National Student Association. Ad- vantages from such membership include reduced travel rates here and abroad for students of member colleges, contracts with such nationally-known performers as The Serendipity Singers and ‘The Mamas and Papas, and a great deal of literature and organizational ma- terial. Mr. Gordon, Mr. Graham, and Mrs. Zimmerman served as advisors to the Council. Last year’s officers, President Jim Pickett, Vice-president Doug Kamholz, and ‘Treasurer Dale Bala served through October, when elections were held. Newly elected officers were Mike Marsh, president; Wayne Joplin, vice-president; and Doug Gehrke, treasurer. Leslie Swanson served as recording secretary and Jack Travis as corresponding secretary. Other members included Mike Boer, Sue Green, Bob Hoffman, John Koopman, Al Ringquist and Gur Singh. i) House Councils Officers, and representatives commonly called proc- cluded Jim Mark, Denny Palys, Mike Page, and Tom tors, are elected or appointed to the House Council of LoCascio.

Mrs. Mock was head resident. Again this year, two town houses served as women’s derms. Girls at these houses are on an_ honorary basis and have no head resident. Joanne ‘Thompson served as president of the College Avenue house and Karen Jackson of the Johnson Street house. 22 Resident Counselors A resident counselor program was implemented this year for Stoddard and Butler Halls. ‘The upperclassmen chosen for these positions live on each floor of the dormitories, providing assistance and counsel to the new students. In effect, the resident counselors aid the head resi- dent and the Dean of Students in promoting good living and study conditions in the residence halls. ‘They assist in the orientation program and help new students make. a successful adjustment to the Blackburn way of life. Each upperclassman is assigned ten to fifteen new students as advisees for the academic year. Students selected to serve as resident counselors receive a token scholarship of one hundred dollars a year. Resident counselors in Stoddard Hall alee Pat Jachinowski, Danna Kauerauf, Barb Lehman, Pat Harris, Barb Oakes, Pam Reaber, Kathy Reed, and Linda Tarr. Bob Bondurant, Bob Hoffman, George Luckett, Jim Pickett, Fred Pecht, and Chuck ‘Tipton served in Butler Hall. Cheryl Kugath was the resi- dent counselor in Jones Hall. Beaver Tales... Portrait of Blackburn The members of the yearbook staff have combined their efforts in an attempt to portrary the life and spirit of the current year on Blackburn’s campus. Miss Mary Cosner worked with them as an able advisor. The editors-in-chief, Karen Anderson and Bob Bon- durant, co-ordinated and edited the work of the staff. Assistant editors Linda Stanley and Bob Lindahl were responsible for arranging and organizing the pictures. Karen Dillow and Bruce Pederson, copy editors, co- operated to produce the written portion of Beaver Tales. Steve Hoffacker and Paul Self contributed the pho- tography. Advertising manager for the yearbook was Howard Heinz. The cover of 1967-1968 Beaver Tales was designed by Dick Leighninger. SE - The Blackburnian, Forum of Student Opinion In addition to reporting and commenting on current activities of the college, the ‘Burnian serves as the main organ for student opinion. Editorials and letters to the editor provide thought-provoking questions for student discussion. Coordinating the production of the 1967-68 news- paper was Editor Barbara Shannon.

An all-college picnic was held on President McConagha’s lawn during the fall. Sadie Hawkins’ Day, including a “dress up” dinner, chase, marriage, square dance and hayride, was planned and supervised by the committee. SSSTLLL LD: Movies shown on campus included “Shenandoah,” “Seven Days in May,” “The Torn Curtain,” and “The Gospel According to St. Matthew” which was jointly sponsored with the Art Club.

Mem- bers of the court included Bonnie Austin, Shari Haines, Vicki Offenhiser, Dawn Styx, Jack Mozley, Mike Smiley, Don Stauffer, and Bill VanBramer. Dr. and Mrs. McConagha crowned the queen, Vicki Queen, and the king, Bill Rhoads. oot eerie 28 The Student Christian Association The Student Christian Association is the religious and fellowship-oriented organization on campus. Di- rected by co-chairmen Linda Stanley and Joe Miller, SCA is responsible for such programs on campus as the Big Brother-Big Sister Program, Worship and ‘Time Out services, Campus Chest, Blood Bank and Parents’ Weekend. ‘This spring, a five-day religious workshop was held with two resource leaders, Ken Hindman and Peggy Way, to discuss current religious topics with students. New students were welcomed on campus and in- troduced to their Big Brothers and Big Sisters by Sarah Wilson and Pob Hoffman. A mixer helped freshmen to get acquainted and a Big Brother-Big Sister banquet and record hop climaxed the activities. Linda Tarr and John Koopman, worship co-chair- men, were responsible not only for “Time Out,” a weekly student-led devotional service, but also for many of the evening Vesper services. In place of last year's. Sunday Chapel, the college now sponsors a monthly evening Vespers. Since October, SCA has STER HERE 4 SCA BIC a Brither — Sister SSG 7-166 “¢ lined up outside speakers and arranged Vesper services for the majority of the remaining Sunday evenings. “Pieces of Eight,” this year’s Campus Chest drive, provided money for the World University Service and other charitable causes. Co-chairmen of the faculty auction and Penny Carnival were Vicki Erickson and Bobby Joe Mason. The Blood Bank, organized by Kathy Binney and Rich Nolan, collected 112 pints of blood. Phyllis Dombkowski and Steve Braner were in charge of Parents’ Weekend. A Talent Show, Sunday buffet and Spring Concert made this weekend an enjoyable occasion for both parents and students.

Jo Marinier served as secretary-treasurer, and Mike Page as altar chairman. Dr. Joseph Dana and Rev. Wayne King served as co-advisors. 22 Parents’ Weekend Parents’ Weekend gives the students an opportunity to “show off” the best of Blackburn’s campus to their parents and friends. A variety of traditional social events, including a track meet, softball game, ‘Talent Show, Coronation, concert, and outdoor buffet, were planned and co-or- dinated by the SCA. The co-chairmen for this year’s Parents’ Weekend were Sue Sharp and Jim Rucker. Saturday afternoon, parents, students, and guests saw the Beavers track team overwhelm Illinois College and Lincoln Christian by 34 and 50 points, respec- tively. One of the highlights of Parents’ Weekend was the crowning of the ’Burnian Queen. This award, made to a senior girl, represents one of the highest honors of the school year. Prior to the weekend’s events, an all- student election was held. At Saturday’s Talent Show, . | a t | 3 Janice Bergdoll was crowned queen by Bob Solita, editor of the ’Burnian. Her senior attendants were Lynn McClain and Marie Sullivan.

Ushering for the evening were Sam Spencer, Steve Beasley, Roger Williams, Bruce Pederson, Craig Me- kow, and Steve Hoffacker. Gary Fraase and John Koop- man acted as court jesters. Following the coronation, the annual Talent Show featured a variety of student entertainment, emceed by Don Hamilton and Doug Kamholz. Students and their parents worshipped together Sun- day morning in Clegg Chapel. Following the service, everyone enjoyed the annual outdoor buffet. ‘The week- and was climaxed by a choir concert Sunday afternoon. : i t | | ; 5 32 The Blackburn Players Traditionally, the Players present two plays and one or two readings during the school year. A tremendous amount of time and energy go into these productions. Their success is due to the combined efforts of the performers, directors and stage hands, including those students on costuming, set design and construction, and make-up. This year’s first production, a reading by Jean-Paul Sartre, No Exit, was presented in Allison Dining Hall on September 23. For their fall production the Players performed Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler on Novem- ber 17 and 18 in Dawes Gymnasium. A second reading, Under Milkwood, by Dylan Thomas, was presented on January 27. The spring pro- duction was The Caucasian Chalk Circle by Bertolt Brecht, presented on March 29 and 30. The president of this year’s club was ‘Tom Ottinger, Doug Kambholz served as secretary, and Pat Bruah was the treasurer. The Players’ advisor and director was Mrs. Lydia Forbes. Campus Visitors Special visitors to Blackburn added new dimensions to campus life. Noel Jan ‘Tyl, 6 foot 10 inch opera singer and man of many interests, re-visited Blackburn November 17-21 on an informal basis, Mr. ‘Tyl, leading bass with the New York City Opera Company, sang at Blackburn as a part of the Public Event series in February, 1967. During his November visit, he attended music and philosophy classes, sang at a chapel service, and, with Professors Richard Terrell and William Dunn, led a discussion on the occult. Mr. Judson Greene, a citizen of Liberia, visited the campus January 31-February 2 to study the handling of student personnel services. Mr. Greene attended Indiana University and received a Master of Science degree in Student Personnel Administration. While here, he examined residence halls, the testing and counseling of students, and the administration of schol- arships and loans. During Religion-in-Life week, the Rev. Peggy Way of Chicago and the Rev. Kenneth Hindman of St. Louis participated in campus life as sources of much stimulating discussion concerning the renewal of our religious selves. 33 ackburn College Choir | | As well as performing the traditional Christmas and rounding communities.

The Public Events Committe, chaired by Mr. Roy Graham, arranges for the various events. This year Blackburn was host to the noted recording | and concert artists, the New Lost City Ramblers. Their songs ranged from ancient ballads to their specialty, traditional southern mountain music. Roger Hillsman, Assistant Secretary of State for | Far Eastern Affairs under President Kennedy, gave an authoritative talk on Viet Nam and Communist | China. The Kaleidoscope Players presented David No- vak’s “The Ladies vs. the Gentlemen,” a programs based on the works of Oscar Wilde. ‘The Mississippi Valley Opera Company _pre- sented “Opera Gems,” or opera for those who like | music but hate to go to the opera. In addition to the regularly scheduled public events, the Student Association sponsored a con- | cert by the Serendipity Singers. This concert was an experiment to attract nationally known perform- “ing groups to Blackburn and to charge admission | to special public events. Public Events 35 Homecoming ‘67, Nostalgia and Projections Homecoming 67 had an auspicious kickoff Friday evening, October 20, with the pep rally, coronation of Homecoming queen Claudia Besch, bonfire, and sock- hop. The beautiful weather and high spirits held as an enthusiastic crowd of alumni and students backed our soccer team in its tremendous effort against a stronger Aurora team. At halftime, Claudia and her attendants, Sue Green, Pat Jachinowski, Kathi Lynch, and Joan Powell were presented to the crowd. Stoddard Hall received the first place trophy for its outdoor display. Butler and North Hall also re- ceived awards for their decorations. Activities specially planned for the alums included a tea and banquet. At the banquet, President McConagha enlisted the support of the alumni for the Blackburn in the Years Ahead expansion program. The dedication of a new residence hall named for Dr. Fred “Pop” Jewell was announced, Following the banquet, students and alumni danced to the music of the Fred Athey Orchestra in Dawes Gymnasium. | A striking stairway centerpiece depicting Blackburn’s campus, past, present, and future symbolized the spirit of the theme, Stairway to the Future. 37 Clubs, Organizations One of the most rewarding experiences on campus is being a club member. At Blackburn, organizations range from the Literary Club which publishes the Vortex, the campus literary magazine to Letterman’s Club which is composed of all varsity lettermen. Many of the organizations deal with one specific academic area. ‘The Economics Club brings members and issues of the financial world to campus. The Art Club promotes artistic interests and provides special art exhibits throughout the year. International Rela- tions Club and Phi Kappa Alpha promote interest in American and world situations by presenting films and speakers to discuss current problems. Science Club discusses new scientific trends. Other clubs deal with special interests. ‘The Folk Dance Club performs dances of American and foreign origin. For women who are particularly interested in cooking, sewing and homemaking, the Home Econ- omics Club provides such an opportunity. Photography Club experiments with various photographic styles and new photographic techniques. Kappa Delta, the soph- omore women’s honorary society, serves as hostess for special campus events. Young Republicans provides students with the opportunity to take an active part in political activities. Representatives of the club attend state conventions. 39 40 cs = | 41 Soccer Our Beavers took a beating on the soccer field this year, having to settle for no wins, nine losses and one tie. Despite the statistics, it was an exciting season. Hampered by several injuries, the squad seldom played at full strength. If games were won on spirit, the team’s record would be far different. The Beavers’ fight and deter- mination reflect the excellent coaching of Mr. William Cooper. Mr. Cooper, new to Blackburn and relatively new to the sport of soccer, nevertheless worked long hours with the squad. This year’s schedule included such formidable op- ponents as Quincy, Harris, and Aurora. The last game of the season, a real heartbreaker, was lost to Green- ville in a double overtime. The team was led by Chuck Tipton and Dick Russell who, along with Gur Singh, + ager espe comprised our major scoring threat. Veterans Dick Rus- sell; Dave Soper, and Chuck Tipton were elected to this year’s All-Conference team. Tom Reigel, a new- comer to the game, deserves special commendation for his fine work in the goal. The team included Doug Brooks, Ed Buchs, Mike Farrar, Dennis Hatt, Stan Hitman, Dick Leighninger, Mike Marsh, Bobby Joe Mason, Paul Morton, Fred Pecht, Mike Pinter, Tom Reigel, Dick Russell, Gur Singh, Ross Smith, Dave Soper, Chuck Tipton, and Ken White, Managers were Al Ringquist, Rich Rob- ley, and Dave Suchart. 43 44 Blackburn Quincy - Blackburn Principia Greenville Blackburn Blackburn inlets = Blackburn Lincoln - Ottawa - Blackburn Principia Blackburn MacMurray Blackburn Aurora - Blackburn Blackburn Greenville 1 i 1 Basketball This year the Beavers settled for an overall record of five wins and sixteen losses. Despite a rather un- impressive record, the team showed great hustle and spirit in every game, especially on the home court. Of five victories, four were played at home. Student enthusiam soared very high during these home games. The suspense and excitement were unusually high, as the majority of home games were won or lost by ex- tremely close margins. Perhaps the most exciting home game was played against Lincoln Christian, in which the Beavers edged their opponent 95 to 94 in double overtime. The most satisfying victory, and certainly an 46 upset, was Blackburn’s victory over Rockford 83 to 82 in overtime. Tom Reigel led the team in scoring, averaging ap- proximately twenty points a game; Rich Robley con- tributed some fifteen points per game. The other mem- bers of the squad were Steve Bedford, Ron Bomke, Gary Fraase, Doug Gehrke, Ron O’Dell, Mike Palmer, Jim Pound, Bill Rhoads, Dan Stauffer, Chuck ‘Tipton, Don Weatherford, and Greg Wooldridge. The Beavers were coached by Mr. William Cooper. Junior Tom Berg assisted Coach Cooper and helped coach the junior varsity. In his first year at Blackburn, Mr. Cooper molded the team into a closeknit, hustling unit, and through extensive substitution, established real depth and experience for future seasons.

The season was highlighted by several fine individual performances. In the 100- yard dash, Ken Welker turned in a time of 10.0 sec- onds, erasing the old record of 10.2 seconds. Ross Smith set the school record for the 440-yard hurdles with a time of 59.5 seconds. Receiving major awards were Bob Crafton, Howard Heinz, John Koopman, Bobby Joe Mason, Jim Oakes, Mike Palmer, Ross Smith, Chuck ‘Tipton, Don Weath- erford, and Ken Welker. Minor letters were won by Steve Hoffacker, Randy Lewis, and Jim ‘Todd. Ken Welker was high point letterman of the season. Tennis and Golf, ’67 The ’67 tennis team, after losing their first two matches, scored an impressive victory over Rose Poly- technic, ‘Their triumph was short-lived, however, as they lost their remaining matches for an overall record of one win and six defeats. ‘Team members included Dick Russell, Dave Hardy, Roger Kessler, Bob Crafton, Tom Marrs and Randy Lewis under the able coaching of Mr. Roy Graham. This year’s young team promises well-balanced strength for the season of 1968. Representing Blackburn on the links this year were Dennis Hatt, Rich Winfield, Gene Tenner, Gary Steinke, Tom Clevenger, Don Weatherford, and Mary Fitzpatrick. The Beavers were coached in ’67 by P. O. Smith. Participating in five meets, the team had to settle for one victory, by defeating Greenville. ‘The Beavers placed fifth in the PCC tournament. 49 50 Pep Band and Cheerleaders Again this year, several students met to form a pep band which, under the direction of Mr. Harold Lowe, performed for all home basketball games. Ensembles performed at the choitr’s Christmas and spring concerts. With the completion of the new music building, facilities will be available for the or ganization of a concert band which will perform regularly. Spirit is the best word to describe this year’s cheer- leaders. Returning members of the squad are Danna Kauerauf, with two years of experience and Penny Demakos, with one year of experience. New mem- bers are Diana Roberts, Tom Heinz, Rich Nolan and Don Pardue. Under Miss Marion Carlson’s guidance, the cheerleaders perfected their old cheers and devel- oped new cheers. Cheerleaders are selected on a try- out basis for members with less than two years of experience. Cheerleaders with two or more years of experience are automatically included on the squad. The cheerleaders cheered for all home games and those games for which student buses were chartered. + Women’s Extra x — ural Sports DA Women may participate in any one or all three extra-mural sports—field hockey, basketball, and tennis. Last spring’s tennis team held a 3 and 2 record and made an impressive showing in the Millikin Invita- tional ‘Tournament. The fall’s field hockey team fought hard but were defeated by Greenville and Prin- 2 cipia. Basketball games were played against Greenville, | Monticello and MacMurray. Extra-mural sports provides women with the op- | | portunity to develop skill in their activity and_pro- vides an opportunity for competitive games. Miss Marion Carlson coaches all extramural teams. [Intramurals Intramurals provide recreation and healthy athletic competition for all students who cannot participate in sports on the varsity level. Men and women partici- pate according to floors and fierce competition always arises to accumulate the most points for the various events and sports during the year. Both individual and team sports with A and B squads for men’s foot- ball, basketball, and volleyball provide opportunities for every student to take part in his favorite recreation. ‘The Women’s IM Board, under the direction of Miss Carlson, organizes the women’s program.

Blackburn, primarily a liberal arts college, gives exposure to students in many dif- ferent areas of study. The faces here come from many states of the union and many nations, Those faces, of arts and doctor of philosophy degrees from Ohio State University. Dr. McConagha is a member of the National Educa- tion Association of University Professors and the Adult Education Association. together with the staff and the faculty work together as a team, each imparting to the other something of one’s self a mark — indelible and untraceable.

This, then, is Blackburn, a unique school, a school like others with moods, with seasons and_pe- culiarities, but an institution that we all love. . Dean of the College Dean of Students; Registrar M.
