GROUP of one hundred and two students came to Carthage three L h years ago for an education. There was a surprise for us we found. Carthage gave us more than merely class routine in these past years. There was iellowship in our class as well as with the entire school: there was loyalty: there was deeper understanding of Christianity; there was founded within us an urge to live up to Carthage traditions and standards. We have cooperated with Carthage in many of its activities such as in football, basketball. track. debate. choir. and had representatives choaen from our class to many conventions. Socially we have been benefited and have learned to take and give as men and women of Carthage always did. We have acquired person- alities that were finished by constant associations and friendships with our professors. Our freshman pajama parade will stand out in our college days as well as the Sophomore leap year dance. and the Junior Prom. We have representatives in Who's Who in Colleges and UniVersities of America. We had a College Queen and a King. Throughout these events loyalty to our school was kept in rriii-idw-loyaltyr not only to Carthage but also to the Lord. Loyalty to truth and ideals which We intend to achieve through constant work and worthwhile energy. Our aim is to be Carthage men and women who are trained to meet problems with intelligence and also to be of service to all that need us. We have one more year and. as WE: step into the place of the dig- nil'led senior. we intend to be examples to those who are coming in. We are fitted to lead others and help those that enter and seek our advice. Being seniors at Carthage means that we are being completed as books with knowledge within and ready to apply ourselves to live as true Carthage products.

N order to be collegiate you have to make a fool of yourself ano 2 : you have to do such a good job of it that people won't mistake you for a hick If you act the part half-heartedly you will have no end oi embarrassment because people will always be glancing questioningiy at each other as if to say. 15 he techedTI or the more assertive. Bats in the beltry . The way to avoid this is to act the fool to the limit Spar: no pains in being novel. ignorant and daring. Then when a stranger ask: a local man what its all about when he sees you on the wild. the local man will answer something like this, Oh him? Hels just a kid from out at the college. How're the prospects Tor torn down your way this year:le Then you are being the successful campus cut-up. In Spite of all the evidence we could Find to the contrary being col- legiate has its value. We abandon all common sense. horse sense. and copper cents. and then act as if we had the world by the tail and the moon on a string: and yet we re happy. That is because we are acting what we really are Someone has said that mob spirit exhibits human nature in its truest form, and what else is being collegiate than forgetting exter- nals and allowing internals to have full sway? Only an A-l college man can spit the world in the face. wear striped trousers. and otherwise act like a kleptomaniac and still never be within mobilizing distance of a mob. Now donlt be discouraged if you have failed to be a B. M. O. C. Here are some examples of how it is being done every day and there is no reason why you can't do the same. We had a fellow with us on Our football trip to Augustana last fall who insisted on keeping us in good humor all the time we were on the bus. We called him loe College. k$sxsxxxtxmmmm THE COLLEGIAN gemxemmxsxxxxxw because he looked just like Joe. and too. his getup fostered the likeness. None other than a college man. or should I say a collegiate, could have walked the length of that restaurant in Monmouth as unconcernedly and as nonchalantly as did loe College in that putrid green plaid shirt of his. wearing big red wooly earmufts, a little green baseball cap and brown jersey gloves. I've never seen a so-called hick look as hayseedish as Ice looked walking down that aisle. and yet he walked with the proud tossed head and light step of a young Ellyio: even Mrs. Roosevelt. His self assurance came from his being thoroughly and genuinely collegiate. Then there was the fellow who hitch-hiked home from school Easter vacation because he wanted his college life to be the full flower, His father picked me up along the road. gave me a lift for which I was very grateful. and told me about his collegiate son who was turning down two rides in order to have the hitch-hiking experience. He was doing it on the sly because his grandfather. apparently of the old school. said that no grandson of his would ever hitch-hike. Yes sir , his dad told me. Bill wants to get everything Out of College that. there is to get : and thaths the old spirit that will do the trick of making you collegiate. Be not the first to try the new nor yet the last to throw the old away . is a good motto for those oi a conservative nature but if you want to be collegiate, that is if you want to be conspicuous to the point: where you no longer appear ridiculous. then follow the motto of the collegiate. The new is all too Old: we'll make a way of our own . Dr. Mary Wilson. famous dietitian. says that baby-faced girls make plump wives. horse-faced girls can't cook. and red-haired girls shouldn't eat onions. :I The fellow who said that a billiard player gets married because he lit: likes to bill and cue was just hanged. thank you. WW Page 20 W xksxmeuxxxxsxxxxxxxxmau THE COLLEGIAN xxmmxxxxxmxxx THE STUDENT COUNCIL . -;TUDENT council is a representative group from the student body.' with the purpose Of encouraging and promoting selfegovernment Among fellow students. The presiding ocher is the president of the Senior class. The members consist of representatives from each social fraternity and sorority, representatives from the independent men and women. and the president of the Freshmen who acts only in the capacity of adviser. A faculty representative appointed by the Senate is also present. Meet- ings are held regularly once a month in the oHice of the president of the college. The functions of the student council are: tll to assist in the regu- lation of all matters pertaining to student activities; tZl to cooperate with the faculty in the endeavor to maintain a high standard of conduct on the part of the student body; LH and to convey to the faculty student opinion on matters of the social life of the college. All actions of the student council become effective with the approval of the Senate. The biggest project of the student council this year has been in the promotion of a Recreation room in Denhart Hall for the use of all students. Through the cooperation of the various organizations. plans were devel! Oped and carried out successfully, so that we now have a fine recreation place where many informal gatherings and other campus activities may be held. am Page 21 W kWWWm THE, COLLEGIAN W PI KAPPA DELTA 1:351IE Illinois chachr of Pi Kappa Delta. national honoraxy forensic i741 fraternity. is one Of the active organizations on the campus hli- ghuility for membership in this organizaiion is based upon achievement in Lyme phase of forensi; aJLivity. The local chapter experienced an inieresting year. The highlight of the season was the National Convention of Pi Kappa Delta, held in Aprii 1'11 Topeka, Kansas. At this convention a debating team consisting of August Skodacek and George Nichols debated with eight schools from six states. Another member. Lillian Fraatz. occupied a seat in the Na- tional Student Congxess. one of the most select features of the convention. while the debate coach. Professor Chapin. acted in the capacity of judge. During the regular debate season. Carthage debaters participated in some twentyrhve intercollegiate contests. On March 19, Carthage was hest to a debate tournament in which six schools took part. At the close of the season debate letters were awarded to the follow- ing: Lillian Fraatz. Mary Louise Dunne Bernice Meyer, Bemida Meyer, August Skodacek, George Nichols. Alvin Koenig. and Herbert Sadler. i 3W Page 22 W Mmmxmmmm THE COLLEGIAN WWW SIGMA ALPHA IOTA '- I LINE 1. 1935, marked an important date in the history of Carthagr -. College. for it was on that day that Miss Evans. national president. installed on this campus Alpha Tau chapter. making another addition to the largest national music fraternity in the United States, Sigma Alpha Iota. The women students of Carthage who were privileged to join this organization were now a part of the nation-wide movement to form bodies of representative women to uphold the highest ideals of musical education and to raise the. standard of musical attainments among the women stu- dents of colleges and universities. During the three years of its existence Alpha Tau has had as one at its main obiectives the establishment of a concert series at Carthage Col- lege Each year the organization has noticed dehnite advancement toward that goal through the concerts it has sponsored. The sorority was extremely fortunate this year in being able to bring two unusually Hne musical events to the campus. the St. Louis Simfonietta and Walter Petere son. a basso-cantante of world-Wide repute. Membership is based upon work completed in the department of music general scholastic standing. proficiency in public performance, and professional interest.

National Honorary Biologicai , Fraternity, has had a happy and progressive year. This year Epsilon Chapter has been enjoying the new Tri-Beta Suite at Biology Hall. It is a great step forward to have three grand rooms in which the Chapter may hold meetings and social gatherings. Much of the success of the program this year may be attributed to the very able guest and member speakers. It is Tri-Beta's custom to enjoy monthly luncheon meetings at which time Speakers present various new topics or experiences along biological lines. During the past year TrivBeta has been host to scientiStS. doctors. professors, business men. and students. The annual Tri-Beta banquet offered an opportunity for all Alumnae members to return for an evening of pleasurable reunion and entertain- ment. Less formal than the banquet is the annual pot luck get-together which is also enjoyed by Alumnae as well as the active members. Another of the annual events of Tri-Beta is the presentation of a research paper along Biological lines by each of the Senior members. The papers are usually presented to the other members of the Fraternity at regular meetings. Tri-Beta has for its members those who have completed sixteen hours of work in the field of Biology. and who have maintained a high scholastic standing in all of their other academic work. Each year Epsilon Chapter adds to its membership by admitting Honorary Members who have been outstanding in endeavors related to the Held of Biology. WKWMKWKW Page 25.

To develop active and eHicient leadership. 3. To inform girls of opportunities offered in Home Economics as a profession. 4. To bring students in proper contact with the greater organizations of Home Economics. 5.

SORORITIES .iNE of the most enjoyable and yet worthwhile aspects of a college U 5 education is the formation of new friendships within the student body. One of the influential factors in this direction would be the contact realized in the fraternity and sorority groups. Through this association the student has the opportunity of broadening his soeial horizon and his understanding of people. Our bewildered freshman has his Hrst encounter with fraternity life during the first few weeks of the fall term. He Ends himself the possessor of a striking personality and capacity for great popularity. but he is actu- aIly entering upon that delirious siege familiarly known as rushing season. His second thrill is experienced when he has expressed his desire to join a particular group and he becomes a pledge, and is placed on probar tion. This pledge period is not really one of lilacs and Iollypops for our Frosh meets daily tests of his patience and endurance. Hell Week looms up rapidly enough during the early weeks of the second semester and there are many novel experiences, embarassing at times, which the pledge must meet. The high light of this pre-fratemity career appears when the day of formal initiation arrives. In a very inspiring service. the student pledge is initiated into active membership in his chosen group. Once he is taken into the bonds of his fraternity he is instilled into a deep sense of loyalty and brotherhood and thereby claims his place among his brothers. Carthage has no national social fraternities or sororities but sees enough success with its three local sororities. Chi Delta Kappa. Beta Kappa. and Pi Phi Nu. and the five local fraternities. Sadhe Aleph. Theta Pi. Theta Tau Sigma. Lambda Sigma Kappa and Alpha Kappa Pi.

Then Iohnnic Braddock would trip him up. and Lewis would run helplessly after him with his slow. Clumsy strides while the fellows stood on the side and cheered. When Lewis would give up the Chase and start dejectedly towards the school again johnnie would sneak up behind him and smudge his large glasses with dirt. Lewis' parents were rather plain people who had little sympathy tor their youngest son. They had had four boys before Lewis. all earning their own way now. and their youngest son was considered more or 18's of an accident. They soon recognized him as a weakling and dismissed him from their further care as a 'mistit'. Thrown upon himself with no friends and only his books to learn anything from. the boy started out on a life of unhappiness. His high school years brought no change in his social status. His scholarly air was taken for superiority and drove away any of the friends that he might have had. It was about this time. when he was grasping for some sort of faith, that a certain idea hovering in the back of his mind began to take shape. He wanted to write. But it wasn't only this. He wanted to write a great novel that had been whispered about down through the ages. towards which all writers had turned their eyes- -only to Find the mountain un- scaleable. The idea dug firm roots in Lewis' mind until it became his light and his religion. College was to be diHerent. There, peeple would be broad-minded and would recognize Lewis' genius. Through his excellent grades in high W Page 31 W 'aw.iNsxvvxxsxxssssxsxxxxssst THE COLLEGIAN xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx school. made from long hours of study. he was awarded a Eour-year scholarship for college. He viewed this as the start of his long climb to eternal recognition. But Lewis' life saw little change. Now people did not laugh at himL they ignored him. His lack of social contact had built up within him an introspective personality that led to a clumsy self-consciousness. People would watch the rather queer expression on his face and wonder whether he was laughing at them. The boy wandered through four years of college. a lonely, pitiful person. Few people realized that he existed. However. Lewis no longer felt the tug at his heart when students ignored him. Around his central purpose in life. he had constructed a satisfying daydreaming. Whenever someone failed to notice him, he would smile inwardly as he formed visions of the person. wide-eyed. mouth agape. reading his book and hoping to meet its superb creator. But the novel had not yet been started. First he wanted to get a . thorough education and load himself with the necessary material. To his I dismay. he discovered that the themes which he wrote for the composition : Ti - cla55 were not very good. He had to rewrite them several times. cut down h and add, until they became a hopeless hodge-podge.

Lewis was still a copy reader although he had in . received a slight raise in pay.

Lewis discovered that he was forty-I'ive years oidt zuid not one word of the novel had been written. His face daikened as he thought of the dirty trick that Time had played on him. He had hardjy started in life and death was already lurking in the shadows of his room. Lewis became frantic, and each night after work. he would sit down at his typewriter and try to squeeze the words out of his brain. Somehow, they never seemed to be all he expected. but it was too late to turn back now. One by one the chapters fell into line. But as Lewis struggled bravely at his typewriter, the leaves of the calendar fell off faqter and faster. The aging man saw in this classic drama the battle of a weak mortal, Fighting to snatch forth the truths 01 the world over which Time, a smoky. titersnorting dragon. kept vicious guard. No man had yet sneaked by the monster without being scorched to death. But Lewis knew that he was the Chosen one. Then came the day when Lewis did not appear at the oH'tCe. Em- ployees whispered from ear to ear that it was the first time in thitty-hve years. His bent body and his bespectacled face had become a symbol of the publishing house. Many peopIe wondered how this old unmarried man could go On living year after year. He had never told them about his book. Soon, there were several times that Lewis did not show up at the office.

Orchestra Hall itself with harps. pianos. and trunks of clothes sitting around in the basement rooms imparts a sort of excitement which is brought to a climax by the sudden applause which greets us as the Choir appears. Chicago music critics as usual were full of praise for the Choir. Uut- standing among these is Herman Devries of the Chicago American, who wrote as follows: . . . Conductor Elmer Hanke and his gifted lady may have new material from year to year and yet there is a precision of attack and a homogeneous ensemble in this choir that is most outstanding, and that speaks wonders for the remarkable reSultS gained through assiduous training. hard discipline and drilling.
