Blackburn College - Beaver Tales Yearbook (Carlinville, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 124 of the 1970 volume:

| beaver tales carlinville, illinois | begin Neva to repair {Wet Vora begin then to repair that world... “One thing that is happening, and may well con- tinue to happen, is that the young have rejected a speeded-up world that denies them any part of mean- ingful contact with anybody or anything. The speed- up of human transactions is inflation and inflation deprives all human association of nutritional values, creating a social anemia and depression.” Marshall McLuhan The new decade of the seventies opens with the Blackburn student in a far different position from that of the sixties. He is more aware of the world in which he lives, and the problems he must face at school, in America, and in this world. The society in ue Viana sii ie RAL WAT? which he lives is undergoing tremendous and rapid technological change. This great speed-up, of which McLuhan speaks, has left social and political change far behind. The student at Blackburn has begun to enter the mainstream of the youth movement in his concern for other human beings and power in America. The heroes of the sixties — JFK, King, Malcolm X, Bob Kennedy —all are dead. Unlike the idealism of the sixties, a sense of cynicism about the future seems to characterize the beginning of the seventies. There are more than one of two problems that must be fought. War, poverty, pollution, violence, alienation, racism, oppression — the list becomes endless. At the same time, no coherent, consistent philosophical or political framework has developed for mounting an overall effort for change in society. None of the tradi- tional political categories apply to this movement. ‘The movement, involving many youth, many students and varied segments of the society, is being driven by a desire for a new, responsive, and participatory society. Its cornerstones are equality of opportunity, and most important, the value of the individual and his right to control his own life. The faculty and administration at Blackburn have become increasingly responsive to students’ thoughts and needs. This has been reflected in changes in the social and academic regulations. The abolishment of women’s hours and the granting of automobile privi- leges have freed the student from traditional shackles and have fostered a seemingly forbidden area of edu- cation — that of self-discovery. Student participation in the College Senate, Judicial Board, All-College Coun- cil and other committees, has increased communica- tion between all segments of the Blackburn College community. Students graduating from, or leaving Blackburn, face a great challenge for the seventies. At the outset, the issues will center on pollution, on ending the war, and on the struggle of the racial minorities. The ur- Fe MME eT eT ry Tee gency of all three issues increases daily and with that urgency goes an inevitable increase in the militance of tactics. The great challenge to our generation is to communicate our visions and goals to Middle America. Students, working with people in their communities, must raise the issues and push for change in these areas. As more politically and socially active students graduate and move into the working world, the issues will probably be raised in institutions other than uni- versities and colleges. The decade which lies ahead offers a strong chal- lenge to the student and youth movement: to com- municate its vision to the rest of America. The general tone of students and of youth will be more cynical than idealistic. In short, there is much which has to be changed in this society, it will be a tough battle to do it, but it will be done. — Bruce M. Pederson The Senior Class Chosen for Student Mar shall for 1969-70, was Bruce M. Pederson, a senior Biology major from Ben- senville. The Student Marshall is chosen by the facul- ty on the basis of good citizenship and extracurricular participation. Bruce represented the student body at all official college functions, and led the senior class at graduation.

Donna Wojjizzak, Sociology Atlanta, Georgia activities i) i) Work Committee Blackburn’s work committee is responsible for man- aging and coordinating the entire operation of our work program, including the systems of work fines and work grades. The work committee this year had to struggle with problems inherent in most programs of this sort, including student apathy and johns that decided to over-flow during the night, and had to juggle work and class schedules. This year also wit- nessed the initiation of a student safety and security patrol. The object of this patrol was to help remedy the number of cases of breaking and entering in the academic buildings, and to decrease the amount of theft on campus. Each spring, candidates for the work committee are selected from student, faculty, and administration nominations. A week-long work school culminates in a written exam after which each work committee member selects three students for tryout positions. Each of the three students chosen for a particular position is given a week in which to assume responsi- bility for that department. Following these try-out weeks, the retiring work committee members select the new committee. The 1969-70 men’s and women’s work managers ae were Gene Tenner and Denise Wright. They were responsible for assigning work schedules, serving on the Administrative Committee to the College, and holding wild tea parties down in the work office. Bruce Pederson, as bookstore head, was responsible for the bookstore as well as the mailroom. Responsible for assigning desk workers and _secre- taries to the faculty and administration was Karan Sheets. Tom Heinz served as dining hall head and had to contend with the problem of serving the student body as quickly and as easily as possible. Dawn Styx, in charge of the Student Center, be- came famous for her rotation of workers. Steve Beasley, janitor head, helped keep the men’s dorms neat and clean while Sandy Sarniak, janitress head, did the same for the women’s dorms. , Roky te 2 oe Se 4 eS Bill Seyfarth, laundry head, kept clothes clean despite mud, rain, and snow. Max Sanborn, kitchen head, working with Mike Begole, Slater’s food representative at Blackburn, was responsible for all kitchen workers and meals. Responsible for the maintenance of the kitchen was Jack Nawrot, who was brilliant at making the pots, pans, silverware, and dishes shine. Rich Nolan, new construction and campus mainten- ance head, made sure that Blackburn’s campus and buildings were properly kept up. Under the watchful eyes of Miss Marion Carlson, the work committee kept Blackburn functioning at a near normal rate. | Student Government The Student Council this year finally saw the re- sults of several years of hard labor to liberalize social regulations. During second semester of last year, the Student-Faculty Senate and the Judicial Board be- came operative. The Judicial Board, comprised solely of students, was set up to try cases in which social regulations were broken. During its year trial period, the J-Board handled cases in which students and administrative officers pressed charges against other students. The officers of the J-Board were Dick Smith, chairman; Ann Alexeyuk, secretary. Other members were Barney Bruzetti, Linda Gorham, Shelby Hoover, Jordana Lau- terbaugh, and Sandy Sarniak. The College Senate was comprised of six students and six faculty members. The Senate was responsible for the enacting of legislation which modernized social regulations, including the abolishment of women’s hours and the revisions of the motor vehicle regula- tions. Debate ran high as Mr. Gordon chaired the meetings. Other faculty Senators were Dr. Brown, q 29 Dr. Koch, Mr. Schroeck, and Dr. Werner. Dr. Dana was orginally a member, but was forced to resign for health reasons. His position was filled by Dr. Forbes. Student Senators were Ann Bush, James Green, ‘Tom Heinz, David Mitchell, Bruce Pederson, and John Ziemba. After the Student Council’s proposals of the aboli- tion cf women’s hours, abolishment of dress regula- tions, and liberalization of motor-vehicle regulations had been acted upon, the Council continued to work on a faculty evaluation program and possibl e curricu- lum changes. The Council sponsored a concert in the spring featuring the Illinois Speed Press. During the “Year of Change,’ Mike Boer served as President. Other officers were Peg McGurk, vice president; Bill Van Bramer, treasurer; Michelle Molnaire, recording secretary; and Trudy Oonk, corresponding secretary. Other members were Pat Henry, Charlie Jubb, David Mitchell, and Karl Zilm. Honor Houses House Councils Each dormitory elects a body of officers and proctors whose duty it is to enforce house rules and occasion- ally revise them. With the elimination of women’s hours and_ the installation of computer door locks, women proctors were relieved of many unofficial window-watching sessions, as well as emergency room checks. Inter-dorm visitation was again put on a trial basis, and students were able, legally, to see how the other half lives. Members of Stoddard House Council included: Jan Hotze, president; Sylvia Albertus, vice-president; Elaine Crowe, secretary; and proctors Ellen Borrow- man, Penny Smith, Phoebe Gross, and Bonnie Shanks. Mrs. Vorhees was Head Resident. Jones Hall’s House Council included: Mary Sker- oS) — ret, president; Barb Lindstrom, vice-president; Chery] Dunham, secretary; and proctors were Alice Javers, Donna Wojtezak, Chris Godlewski, Jay Wright, and Sheila Lane. Mrs. Mock was Head Resident. Jack ‘Travis served as president of Butler, with Bob Chamberlin as vice-president, David Sigafus as secre- tary, and proctors Jon Randolph, David Mitchell, Dan Stokes, Lon Wallis, and James Finnegan. Mr. and Mrs. Kocher were Head Residents. President of North Hall was Tom Lo Cascio, with Roger Williams serving as vice-president, and proctors Rich Bowman, and Jim Kammueler. Head Resident was Mr. Hurst. Jewell House Council consisted of Jan Martin, a2 Graham Stoddard Jewell Jones Women’s House Council president, and proctors Chris Hampshire, ‘Terry Hibler, Gwen Gulik, Marsha Sand- retto, and Pat Hewing. Men’s House Council members were Gary Fraase, president, and Jack Lecerf, David Suchart, Bill Link, Bill Church, and Frank Simpson served as proctors. Miss Halberg served as Head Resi- dent. 33 EM a tay, Seanannoocetannt See aie 34 ———————— Resident Counselors Resident counselors are chosen by the administra- tion to serve as advisors or counselors to new students on campus. Living near by, usually on the same floor or wing, they are available to provide personal, aca- demic, and social guidance for students adjusting to college, and specifically to life at B.U. They serve mainly during the first eight weeks of the academic year, helping with the orientation programs, but are available at all times. Each counselor receives a token scholarship of one hundred dollars a year. In Stoddard, resident counselors were: Diana Fuchs, Vicki Carlson, Peg Kennedy, Sara Campbell, and Marcia Kirkpatrick. Counselors in Jones Hall were Nancy Yingst and Barb Laier, in Butler, Denny Palys, Larry Testa, Dick Borgo, and Dang Trang. Serving in North was Jim Joch, and in Graham Hall, Curt Rutledge. Do Wo Religous Life Cabinet The Religious Life Cabinet is the hard-working religious and service-oriented organization on campus. Co-ordinated by co-chairmen Donna Rae Johnston and Chuck Mueller, the RLC is responsible for such pro- grams on campus as the Big Brother-Big Sister pro- gram, worship and Time-Out services, Campus Chest, Blood Bank, and Parents’ Weekend. New students were acquainted with the new sur- roundings by Dale Evans, Mary Skerrett, and legions of Big Brothers and Big Sisters. Activities planned to help the frosh jump into the swing of things included a mixer, Big Brother-Big Sister Banquet, and a dance. Linda Snyder and John Koopman, worship co-chair- men, were responsible mainly for ‘Time-Outs, a week- ly, student-led informative service. Missppe® S IEE: Say Ue Les oi “38 The Campus Chest drive provided money for the World University Service and other charitable causes. Activities included a dance, a faculty auction, a pizza party, and the Penny Carnival. Larry Keiser and Cyn- thia Farley were CC co-chairmen. The Blood Bank, organized by Carol Watt, and Wayne Pauly, collected blood from the student body for use in area hospitals. Eileen Bartow and Jerry Murphy, visitation co-chair- men, conducted trips to Peaceful Valley and the area Old-Agers’ Homes. Publicity co-chairmen Gail Forshee and Kent Work- man kept the campus informed of the cabinet’s ac- tivities. RLC Parents’ Weekend The Co-Chairmen for last years Parents’ Weekend were Ann Bush and Jeff Hill. Saturday night several of Blackburn’s students presented an overwhelmingly successful talent show for the enjoyment of both par- ents and fellow students. The Sunday noon meal was a special buffet style, and the weekend was topped off with the Spring Concert by the college choir. A large turnout and summer-like weather made the weekend a big success. Advising the RLC members during the 1969-70 academic year was Reverend King. 39 Homecoming 1969 Despite the poor weather and our loss to Aurora, Blackburn’s school spirit ran high among students and alumni. Homecoming weekend of 1969 began Friday eve- ning, October 17, with a pep rally in Dawes Gym- nasium. The introduction of the 1969 Homecoming Queen, Rachel Goers, was the crowing event of the evening. Later a bonfire behind Olin warmed every- one’s spirits, and an informal dance in the Student Center provided the inspiration for the following day’s activities. In the contest for dormitory decorations, Jewell Hall was awarded first place, while the second place trophy went to North Hall. During the pre-game ceremonies, Rachel and her court, Sara Campbell, Marie Bukovsky, Sylvia Albertus, and Mary Skerret were presented to the fans. Following the game, Fred M. Jewell Hall was Officially dedicated. The alumni enjoyed a coffee reception with Dr. McConagha Saturday morning. That evening they at- tended the Homecoming Banquet which was followed by several class reunions. ‘The Homecoming Dance, “Wasn’t It a Bit Like Now?” followed the banquet; the music was provided by “The Hims and Hers.” The weekend was complete after a Homecoming Chapel service and a special buffet style meal on Sunday. 4] Social Committee The social committee for the 1969-70 academic year certainly kept busy planning entertainment for Blackburn students. Students found many a Friday or Saturday evening well spent at the several informal dances throughout the year. ‘These have featured big name bands in the Carlinville area, juke box dances, and even ‘oldies but goodies’ nights for all the ‘bops’ on campus. One of the highlights of the season was a folk concert by “Blesse and Lewis, Ltd.”. Besides these popular dances, the social committee also spon- sored several full-length movies for the citizens of the Blackburn community. The social committee also held its regularly sched- uled ‘super events’ of the year. These began with the Sadie Hawkins festivities. Weatherwise it was a very dismal weekend; but on the hayride the spirits ran high. Homecoming was also a big hit, even though we lost a rain-soaked soccer game. Another repeat of last year was ‘Casino Night’ in the den, and a brand ok GSS 43 44 new headliner for B.U. this year was a donkey basket- ball game. The 1969 Christmas dance was informal, featuring a rock band. The second big dance of the season was the Valentine formal. Music was provided by the “Sound Organization.” The Valentine court consisted of: Cynthia Williams, Bonnie Shanks, Dee Dee Mar- cotte, Audrey Pagel, Peggy Schafer, and Pamela Hell- kamp. The candidates for king were: George Brown, Charles Brown, Gordon McClendon, Larry Youngberg, Bill Konneker, and Major Barnes II. Co-chairmen for this year’s social committee were Mary Hull and Mike Smiley. Mary Skerrett was secre- tary, and Steve Beasley served as treasurer. The ad- visor for the committee was Miss Halberg. Organization for Black Cultural Inclusion As its name implicitly states, THE ORGANIZA- TION FOR BLACK CULTURE INCLUSION at Blackburn, is to bring, and to foster Black Culture on the Blackburn College Campus. There has been a need to bring Black Culture and Black History to all college campuses, and Blackburn is no exception. In the past, predominately White institutions had found it not necessary to include Black Culture as part of its campus life, but now with Black Awareness it be- comes not only necessary but imperative that these institutions include Black Culture as part of their total make-up. Moreover, these institutions must come to grips with the realization that “Black is Beautiful.” If people would only open their eyes, they could see the necessity of a Black Organization. The idea is to create a greater channel of communications for dia- logue between White and Black students — a chan- nel which has in the past been closed because of the nature of the White society. There is a common bond between all Black people, especially those on pre- dominately white campuses. Therefore, it becomes necessary for Black people to unite as one; for their common interest, common backgrounds, and common goals. The following people served as Board Members: Major Barnes- Secretary, James Wallace - ‘Treasurer, James Green, Andrew Coleman, Lynn Greene, Mat- thew Wright, Leslie Matthews. 45 The Third Annual Black Cultural Week was held March 29-April 4, with support from the Student Council, Social Committee, and several other depart- ments. The week included discussion groups and films in addition to guest musical groups, guest speak- ers, and several programs put on by the Black St u- dents. The week ended with a play, a Memorial Service to Dr. King, and a Soul Dance that night. In addition to the Beaver Tales and the ’Burnian, Blackburn is proud of its other student publications as well. These publications are the Vortex, the Black- burned, and the Renaissance. The Vortex, sponsored by the Literary Club, is an anthology of poetry, fiction, and art works, submitted by members of the student body, faculty, and adminis- tration. The five-member Editorial Board is chosen from the Literary Club and has the final say on all work submitted. Due to the limited space and budget of the Vortex, a publication called the Renaissance inade its first appearance this year. ‘This publication, initiated by Student Publications Tony Rabig, Mike Sudholt as an outlet for more literary talent. The Renaissance , and Norman Gorny, serves will be published four times a year and will feature a rotating editorial board. Contributions from the stu- dent body and editorial board financed the Renaissance. Blackburned, the campus underground newspaper, began its second year of publication. It was created to fill in the gap of student opinion left by the ’Burnian; the articles are uncensored. The Blackburned is pub- lished twice a month and is financed completely by contributions. The Blackburned Editorial Board con- sisted of John Ziemba, Dick Smith, Teresa Gill, and Charlie Jubb. 47 48 Beaver Tales Once again Blackburn has been blessed with a year- book. With the advisory help of Miss Mary Cosner, the staff worked to produce a well-rounded book which promises to provide lasting memories to the members of the Blackburn community. Bruce Pederson inherited the job of editing the work of the staff, as well as writing the introduction of the yearbook. This year’s picture editors were Shari Haines and Chuck Mueller. The credit for the fine literary efforts of the 1970 Beaver Tales must go to the following copy editors: Nina Chidester, James A. Finnegan, and Brad Stickels. The Beaver Tales staff also had four very fine photographers to back them up: Steve Hoffacker, James Bowers, James Elve, and Mark Wetzel. The advertising manager for this year was Karl Zilm. B: : vw The ’Burnian The ‘Burnian emerged on the Blackburn College campus this academic year with a slightly new face. Striving to avoid a content of familiar news and routine revelations, the “Burnian turned toward stimulating and thought-provoking journalistic writing. “Random Harvest” continued to awaken the apathetic in the light of Blackburn life, while picture editorials made and effort to uncover problem issues. Heading the staff as Editor for the second consecu- tive year was Linda Wright. Judy Puckett served as Assistant Editor and Tran ‘Thanh Dang as Business Production Manager. The remainder of the Edi torial Board was composed of Christine Randall, News Editor, Jeanne Siegler, Features Editor, Josef Robey, Fifth Column Editor, and Alan Heath, Sports Editor. Peg Kennedy, Assistant Sports Editor, Chris Kant- hank, Advertising Manager, Elaine Crowe, Circula- tion Manager, and Steve Hoffacker, Photo Editor, were also members of the Editorial Staff. Mr. Eccle- stone served as faculty advisor. Players The Players presented two major plays this year, both coming in the spring semester. Valuable time and energy go into these productions, and success is due to the combined efforts of the performers, di- rectors and the stage hands. Find Game by Samuel Beckett starred John Ziemba and Joe Rinner, and was directed by Jon Randolph. The Waltz of the Toreadors by Jean Anouihl star- red John Ziemba, John Harvey, and ‘Terri Davis, and was directed by Mrs. Lydia Forbes. The president of the Players this year was Jack Travis; John Ziemba served as the secretary-treasurer; and Mrs. Lydia Forbes was the Players advisor. = SECN Ra SAG The Blackburn College Choir Cl b cure the interest of the students and sign on new | uDS members Clubs represented ranged from the Art Club, . which provides special art exhibits during the year, to |_ Blackburn students were introduced to the various Lettermen’s Club, made up of varsity letter winners. campus organizations on Club Night, September 12.

Fencing Club, al- though not new, received its charter this fall. As indicated by their names, some clubs deal with specific academic areas. Art Club, Economics Club, and Science Club are such clubs. Others deal with specific interests. The Home Economics Club has put on fashion shows for any interested women throughout the year. Kappa Delta, the sophomore women’s honor society, worked on their money raising project and helped hostess special campus events. Social committee set up dances, obtained bands, picked out movies, and planned other events that made up much of the social life on campus. ‘The Young Republicans again sent representatives to conventions, thus giving students a chance to take part in political activities. The clubs at Blackburn College are a vital part of the Blackburn experience. With the limited social facilities in the area, these clubs serve as an outlet for student expression and student energy. Because creativity is one of Blackburn’s greatest attributes, membership in clubs is always encouraged. 56 Public Events Blackburn’s public events program provides admis- sion-free events for the entire student body. ‘The Pub- lic Events Committee chaired by Mr. Roy Graham, arranged for the various events. Events this year ranged from Flamenco dancers to classical music concerts. Ashley Montague, noted anthropologist, has written twenty books on human relations and made numerous television appearances. He spoke of man’s origin and nature for the better understanding and welfare of man. Flamenco in Concert, starring dancers ‘Teodora Morea and La Conte de Loyo, and guitarist Benita Palacios, presented a program of classical Spanish dance and Flamenco. The Princeton Chamber Orchestra is one of the finest in this country. It is a fourteen piece ensemble directed by Nicholas Harsanyi and featuring a violin soloist. ‘They played music ranging from baroque to contemporary. The Paul Winter Contemporary Consort features symphonic orchestrations, folk-music, and jazz. The Consort includes alto saxophone, cello, English horn, flute, classical and twelve string guitar, bass, and vari- ous percussion instruments. Visitors on campus this year included Senator Ralph Smith, evangelist Hap Crib, and three representatives from the State Department. Felis 58 Soccer Highlighting the season for the 1969 Blackburn soccer team this year was the Beaver’s first District 20 Championship. The fighting Beavers defeated Trinity College 6-0 in the championship match. The Beavers also captured their second straight undefeated Prairie College Conference Championship. The over- all season record for the kickers was 8 wins, 5 losses, and 1 tie. The B. U. Kickers had quite a few disappointments this year but also some joyous moments. One of the happier moments for the team was to shut out the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame University in front of their own fans. Mike Montani supplied the only score of the game as the whistle blew to end the first quar- ter. The defense also had an outstanding game as they spoiled many powerful offensive threats of the Irish. One of the disappointing moments of the year came at the expense of Aurora at BU’s Homecoming game. On a rain soaked field, the Beavers shot forty-seven times to Aurora’s 17. The final score — Aurora 2, Blackburn 1. The team was unfortunate in losing last year’s lead- ing scorer Tom Beaver for most of the season for a leg injury. All-District halfback, Bill Hense, was forced to move up to the forward line to lead the Beaver’s attack. Also on the forward line this year were Mike Montani, Rick Eccher, Greg Daly, Jack Mogab. On the defense were halfbacks Paul Koinange, Lester Trustowski, and Carl Bergauer. Ray Auer, Kevin Sy- berg and Roger Engelhardt filled in at fullback, and Ralph Jones was in the goal. Completing the squad were John Kane, Don Woelfel, Jay ‘Tomlinson, Larry Testa, Bruce Ringquist, Tony Fennie, and Bill Daniels. 59 60 Date B’burn Opp. Date B'burn Opp. Sept. 22 SU: 1 6 Oct. 24 Lewis Coll. 2 1 Sept. 27 Harris 1 3 Oct 25 Notre Dame 1 0) Oct.

Plagued by injuries and the loss of several players at semesters, the Beavers fought back to have a successful season. Dale Snider in his debut as coach at Blackburn has gained the respect of the players and fans. Coach Snider was aided by Ed Lamar, who worked the junior varsity. The players put out 110% for both coaches. Freshman Major Barnes sparkled at guard. His speed, ball handling, deadly shooting, and excellent defense led the team. His partner at the other guard post was Greg Heinz. Greg was an aggressive, hustling guard, with all the polish of a senior, he was a leader of the team. The forward spots belonged to Dan “Bomba” Stauf- fer, and “Tollie” Whitler. Bomba added his punch in the scoring and rebounding departments. Tollie was an excellent shooter, rebounder and hustler. He reached the 30’s in the scoring column several times. 1 61 At the center position this year was Sophomore Mike Kaczmarz. Mike came through in the second semester and became the most improved player on the team. Kaz was a rugged rebounder and a good scorer. No team can win without a bench. It is very seldom that a bench squad is just as potent as the starting team. This year’s reserves added hustle, ability and desire to the team. At guards were Senior Gary Fraase and Junior Bill Church. Gary was well known for his aggressive de- fense, and blinding speed. Bill Church concentrated on floor position. Bill was also an aggressive player, an excellent shooter, and a great ballhandler. The fowards were Sophomore Gary Hamilton and Fresh- man Ren Moore. “Ham” was riddled with injuries most of the year. Moore, who also played center, was a strong rebounder and an excellent shooter. Also backing up the center spot was Larry Clark. Larry, a strong freshman, played a lot of J.V. ball. He too was an aggressive rebounder and good scorer. Players lost at semesters were: guards Jim Pound, forward Bill Rhoades, and center Gary Harrison. This year’s Junior Varsity showed a lot of desire and promise. Many of these young men will find their way to the Varsity ranks. ‘These players were Larry Clark, Gordy McCendon, Danny McRea, Dave Weid, Tom White, and Ron Whittle. Jim Pound and Bob Schlemmer played the first semester only. This year ended with one tragic note. The man who has done so much for the athletic program at Blackburn, Dave Suchart, graduated. Sukie, manager and trainer, put in long hours wrapping ankles, doc- toring bruises and blisters, and preparing uniforms and equipment for games. There are not enough words to express our gratitude.

Win- ning awards on this year’s team were John Koopman, Jim Oaks, Curt Rutledge, John Black, and Ken Wilson. 65 Tennis The 1969 tennis team, coached by Mr. H. C. Hel- sabeck, finished their season with a record of two wins and seven losses. Blackburn’s two wins came against Rose Poly, 5 to 2, and against Illinois College, 4 to 3. However, the season was not as dismal as the record would imply, as the team finished in a third place tie with Rose Poly in the conference tourna- ment. The letter winners for 1969 included: Bruce Wills, Don Lampe, ‘Tom Reigel, Ron Bomke, and Jack Lecerf. Golt The Blackburn College golf team for 1969 com- piled a record of five victories and six defeats. ‘The team also placed fourth in the Prairie College Confer- ence Tournament. Last year’s team members included: Ray Stottler, Rich Winfield, Larry Wallner, Dan Kuntzman, and Doug Brooks. They were coached by Mr. William A. Cooper. ae Cheerleaders The spirit and enthusiasm of the student body is mirrored in the cheerleaders. Although they no longer had the help of the men Yell Leaders, the girls’ spirits were not dampened. This year’s squad was composed of Linda Schaefer, Rachel Goers, Rosie Brutto, Marcia Kirkpatrick, Peg Schaefer, and Bonnie Myers. As- sisted by Miss Marion Carlson, they developed many new cheers for both soccer and basketball. For the first time, this year the squad cheered at all basketball games, both home and away. 67 ’s Extramurals Women a w 2 te ap ge, =!

They played a total of eight games, against Greenville, Principia, MacMurray, Monticello, and Southern. Intramurals Intramurals provide recreation and athletic com- petition for all students who cannot participate in sports on the varsity level. Men and women participate according to floors, and the competition is always high spirited. ‘Team and individual sports provide opportu- nities for each student to participate in his favorite sport. The women’s I.M. Board, under the direction of Miss Carlson, organizes the women’s program. The Board consisting of Sunday Vogler, Pam Hellkamp, Bonnie Myers, Peg Kennedy, Jan Hotze, Sally Cissna, Mary Lou Goodpasture, Jan Reeve, Jackie Grainey, Sue Hughs, Jan Kratochvil, Gail Forshee-Secretary, Linda Leavens-Vice-president, and Diana Fuchs-Presi- dent.

Dur- ing the basketball season, North Hall and Jewell Hall tied for the championship. Spring sports included tennis and softball. The I.M. All-Star Basketball team took fifth place in an I.M. basketball tournament in Greenville. “J ihe) 3 Ce 76 President of the College Never was there more concern in America about our colleges than today. Historically, Blackburn has emphasized the participation of all individuals in the college community. As we look to the decade ahead we must constantly search for new ways, not to deal necessarily with day by day matters but to plan to- gether for a healthy and productive future. As we look to the future we must also steadily in- sist that those things which have made the college what it is, close personal relationship, smallness, the work program, the emphasis upon the meaning of the liberal arts, and an economy in operation, shall remain. At the same time we must all recognize that a col- lege that stands still goes backward, that we are in an intensely competitive enterprise, and that our image as an institution is of extreme importance. Each one of us in our day by day activity portrays this image. It is our hope and our ultimate desire that this in- stitution can continue to move forward, to make a more worthwhile environment for those who are here now and for those who will come in future years.
