ADJUSTMENT WAS THE KETNOTE OACHES, professors, and upper-classmen formed a hopeful reception committee as September brought the first day of a new year colored by new faces and person- alities, another Freshmen class made its debut into college life on the hill. By bus, by train, by car, and by thumb, accompanied and unaccompanied, came the Freshmen, one hundred and twenty-eight strong, to begin a new and exciting ex- perience-COLLEGE. Unnumbered sacrifices and dreams formed a background for the coming of each . . . High hopes burned fervently in the hearts of students and parents alike as they ascended the Hill and saw spread before them a panorama of natural beauty unequalled by any campus west of the big Mississippi. They entered their respective dormitories, the men through the portals of Wood and Miller Halls, the women into the spacious quarters of Culver-Stockton Hall, bringing with them an assortment of bags, radios, trunks, parents, and friends. There they met their roommates, there were first impressions, immediate friendships, some uncertainty about the new roomie, but all in all, everyone was happy . . . Rooms became disordered closets, strewn with clothes, paraphernalia, and parents. House-mothers were candidates for psychopathic wards- they had a just cause. Finally the doting folks left-the Freshmen were on their own . . . A few started to straighten their rooms into some semblance of human abode-most went out on the campus to look over the situation-and what a situation! Romances began to bud, dates Qor should it be saidj engagements were arranged, appraisals were made, and social de- velopment became the subject of the hour-but not for long . . . The process of acquaint- ing the new students with the history, traditions, and regulations of Culver-Stockton College got under way. Hour upon hour of lecture, professor after professor, then adapt- ability and psychology tests-so this was COLLEGE. ORIENTATION . . . The Freshmen's nightmare-how to make an introduction, what fork should be used for which salad, how to make study easy-this went on for days and daze . . . Back in the dormitories the interior decorators had taken over, Barren rooms became cozy Freshmen Barger and McKellar move in little nooks. Qld Man HOHIC- sickness had also moved into no few rooms. But time went merrily on its way and the Freshmen followed, but not for long . . . for there were other barriers obstructing their path . . . the upper- classmen added the traditional hurdles along the port-of-entry . . . from green caps to Hell Week, these obstacles became reality as the Freshmen were being oriented. T Another headache . . . REGISTRANT AND REGISTRAR CCORDING to Webster the process of registration is for the registrant to appear at the registry before the registrar to be registered . . . but Webster never went to Culver-Stockton! Unsuspecting Freshmen just walked into the gymnasium and beheld a half-moon of desks with the Dean gracing the head of the semicircle and Mr. Stout at the exit-in the intervening space were the faculty seated, bored, disgruntled, disgusted, complacent in their knowledge of the pro- cedure-due to a preceeding faculty meeting. Little did the Freshmen know what was in store for them. With light-hearted enthusiasm they began-seasoned upper-classmen sighed and prepared for the trial. First, at Mr. Spencer's desk the students received blue cards, white cards, cards, cards . . . car-owning students searched for the Dean-Freshmen and most of the upper-classmen purchased matriculation card before they could approach the enrollment entanglement. Not to be dis- mayed, the students waded through dozens of forms, questions, etc. The next step was to stand in the lineup before the scrutiny Amid the hustle 2114 the , , scurry of registration of the Dean. Mistakes-curt remarks about learning to follow direction, new cards and life began to assume the proportions of a bowl of sour grapes . . . Finally passed, the Freshmen and uppe'r-classmen attempted to make prearranged schedules concur with classes changed at the last moment by profs who didn't want to get up for a 7:40, or liked to sleep an hour after lunch. Back and forth across the gym floor- conferences-arguments-more walking- uncertain professors-the boy friend wait- ing impatiently-signing for any course in desperation-stifling heat-class cards -instructions . . . finished . . . Not yet- there was Mr. Stout-another long line- I'll have the money soon, Mr. Stout. - everything completed. As the students dragged themselves from the ordeal, some- body was saying, Geez, it was simple this year! Lineup on registration day Eleven The personalities behind the desks . . . GENIAL MEN AND WOMEN W1-Io BECAME FAST FRIENDS OW many spokes in a wheel? Nature al- ways collects. This is Dean HOPKINS. Known, revered, feared, this abrupt, jolly char- acter exemplifies individualism and zestful living at its best. Ever conscious of the vastness of natural life and living, the Dean revives deadened person- alities vvith vigor and vitality. To this institution of service, free thought, and strength, homage is due. A valid equation of Chris- tian living is Professor IN- GOLD, the sum total of thirty-seven years of solutions, both mathematical and life- matical. Teacher and preach- er, this monument of industry and utility verifies the truth of Johnson: life, like any other blessing, derives its value from its use alone. To the many churches he has served, and to students of many years this expression reveals his personality. His ladder problem and the new short wave radio station vividly recalls to mind, that vital force, Professor BOYDSTON, who can make a two hour lecture seem like a ten minute chat. Ever searching, ever aiding, Doctor BROWN reveals mysteries through the test tube. He is a scientific genius who has no peer Prof. Ingold in his chosen field of chemistry. Nuturing a flock of l - flashing flingers is a Dean L. S. Hopkins 3 1 ei., Q sff- task accomplished com- . petently by the versa- ' tile Coach Herrington, fe who also manages a .. class or two in biology besides heading the College placement bu- I'C2.l1. 1 Prof. Boydston Prof. Brown Coach Herington 'I' l Religion is living. No more valid proof of this assumption can be found than in the many years of Doctor ROBISON. As a creator of logical thinking and ethical reasoning, this young- est old mind stands unsurpassed. Respected for his sound judgment this venerable sage makes Christianity assume greater significance and scope to those who sit at his feet. Keen in his inquiry, sound in his mental processes, none can leave this intellect without gain- ing some new proportion of life. Truly he is the herald of tomor- row's achievement in the vast science of fruitful living. New, this year, to the Hill, Doctor EDGAR has already won a niche of respect and friendship from discerning students. Stirring Dr. Robison the embers of latent minds and adding fuel to undernourished l thought is the accomplishment of this young but profound per- sonality. Universally accepted as a prince of a fellow, Professor Stephen B. WILLIAMS is an accomplished pianist, a versatile organist, an excellent choir director, and an understanding friend and coun- selor to all that flock around him. A fine wit and an ability to provide a never-ending flow of entertainment combined with his complete personality makes Mr. Steve a more than welcome addi- tion to any group. His choir members know him for his patience, his humor, and his aptitude in blending a host of voices and in- if Dr- Edgar dividuals into a melodious whole. The man with the fiddle is Professor Ralph YOUNG, whose endeavor is recognized by all interested in instrumental music. Handicapped in the past, Mr. Young presented a band of note this year, and his string quartet shows evidence of earnest and talented efforts. A nationally known composer and concert pianist, Mr. JOHNSON is unique for his interest in collegiate musical hopefuls. He combines dignity and poise with under- standing and talent to produce a more than adequate composition of life. Another newcomer to the Hill this year is Miss EARL. Combining lines and color to form pleasing pictures is the attainment of this personality, whether on canvas, paper or in dresses . . . If anyone thinks this is all the faculty, they're badly mistaken. I Prof. Williams Prof. Young Mr. Johnson Miss Earl Thirteen 1 'T l Dr. Ash Mrs. Roberts Prof. Crink Dr. Knapp An insatiable thirst for the hnest in the field of letters is characteristic of this tall, bespectacled, individualistic thinker. Doctor ASI-l is known for his love of literature and his lectures which encompass all of living, yet contain vast stores of truth for the inquiring mind. Reveling in the desire of an open mind to know and reaping great rewards in blasting convention- . locked mentalities are the pastime and labor of this unusual i and unconquered intellect. There need be no fear for the propo- gation of literature so long as there are personalities such as Dr. Ash. English is a science, but becomes an art when used. In- tensely interested in student's progress and expansion, Mrs. ROBERTS presents not only a concise and correct perspective of English mechanics to those who would strive, but a bulwark of encouragement and modernism as well. Students never go to sleep in Professor CRlNK'S speech and drama classes-they never have the opportunity. A dynamic current of energy and ability is evidenced by the fine dramatic productions, the records of the forensic organization, and last but not least, the quantity of term papers produced each semester. Progressive education is not only a necessity but a coming reality. Such is the introduction to Doctor KNAPP, ever- interested in student problems, trends of thought, and attitudes of behavior and conduct. Freshmen know him as the conductor of adaptability and psychology exams which tl1I'11 daylight into darkness the first of the school year, but later he emerges as a vital and integral factor in determining more complete approaches to this problem known to so very few as the art of living. His is the task of checking the finished product of college training in the field of higher education-a responsibility that he handles well. The Reference Book of Culver-Stockton is appropriate for Mr. SPENCER, who has spent long hours in rebuilding the college's fire-depleted liabrary. I-le is always ready to expend any effort to aid a seeker in his search for the truth. Upsetting pet theories of education, students finds Professor ELLIS at his best. Hu- morous and entertaining, he never lets his classes become dull. Mr. Spencer Prof. Ellis F mwteen Unveiling the pages of the annuals of the history of mankind is competently ac- complished by Doctor HEATON, student, scholar, instructor, and observer. Com- manding history, music, religion, philosophy and politics, and correlating them into a coherent whole to present a composite picture of the past in the unusual achievement of this capable individual. I-le is at his best when creating valid analogies of past and present events. Custodian of the Bookshop, Professor I-IOOTMAN equips many students with a thorough and complete knowledge of the fundamentals and rudiments of business ad- ministration, business law, and accounting. Economics unravels in its complexity in his revealing lectures and practices. 1 -eee- eWe-Mwf--f--- A chattering room of flying fingers producing ream after ' ream of typewritten pages is evidence of Mrs. BOYDSTON, who exposes the secrets of those funny little curls which is the creation of shorthand. Efiiciency in office administration is complete proof of her fine work. A mustache, a twinkle, and a command of the modern lang- uages is the boast of Professor ELKINS. The secrets and intrac- acies of French and German are exposed in his interesting class- room. Modern in his approach, yet thorough in his scope, Mr. Elkins provides all who would learn with ample and complete tools to mould foreign tongues into understandable syllables. The Mighty Mite of the M.C.A.U. is significant of Coach SCOTT, who has produced a championship football team for the first time in the history of the school. Known and respected by all, Scotty ever strives toward a full physical education pro- gram. He is a forceful, driving individual, yet understanding and helpful, who places a supreme value on his men and sportsmanship. , Another newcomer to the Culver-Stockton campus this year is MISS OTTERBACHER, who builds feminine bodies without exposing muscles to the critical eye. She has captured the fellow- ship of otherwise languid creatures in a frenzy of physical activity -which is no mean accomplishment. Q Dr. Heaton K., Prof. Hootman Mrs. Boydston Prof. Elkins Coach Scott Miss Otterbacher Fifteen Mr. STOUT is tennis coach, business manager, and good fellow extraordinary. A rabid sport fan and the number one college booster, he combines a keen sense of humor with financial genuity. His sunny side is exhibited after an athletic team tucks away a win, his cautious side when finances are mentioned. With capable business ability and a friendly personality, Mr. Stout is a success in his field. Enthusiastic publicity director Fred KRUEGER displays energy and foresight in all he undertakes. Homecoming for this year hit a new high in successfulness under the direction of Mr. Krueger. Directly responsible for the National Intercollegiate Table Tennis Tournament and the C-S champions, he is more than willing to expound up- on the potentialities of next year and the accomplishments of this. Mrs. JONES, who absolutely refused to have her picture taken, is known for her cheery Good Morning and smiling a new matriculation card will cost you fifty cents. Secretary to the President, she guards the portals to the inner chamber with the dignity befitting her position. Quiet, industrious, and pleasant, she is a friend to all. Dean of Women, Culver Hall matron, and dignitary of the Girl's dorm is Mrs. Bessie TAYLOR who patiently supervises the actions and antics of eight-odd tempermental women, who would amaze anyone with their ingenuity. With graciousness and ability I she manages the most popular building on the campus. Mr. stout Motherly Mrs. DICKINSON has won the hearts of her brood at Wood Hall with her understanding and sympathy. Always ready for a confidential chat or an exchange of banter she jealously guards her charges welfare with diplomatic tact-a hard task with sixty boys, but well performed. Another House-mother for more boys is Mrs. GLAZE, who graces Miller Hall as its hostess. Likeable, dependable, and in- dustrious, she has become the boy's pal as well as their counselor through her kindness and consideration. As Superintendent of Grounds and Buildings, Conrad WILL is one of the more popular individuals on the campus. With humor and industry he maintains the physical plant and supervises student Mr- Krueger labor with equal dexterity and understanding. GN., 418 .

MTSTIFIED FROSH UNIMPRESSIVE THE sun burst forth on the eventful day-long and eagerly awaited. After an in- credible length of time classes were to begin. The Frosh were up at least an hour earlier than necessary. Bleary but cheery eyes sparkled as they surveyed the results of their painstaking toilet. Someone, who was an authority, had said that the first class meeting would leave the first and last impression of a student on a prof's mind. Into the happy minds came the harsh, discordant clanging of bells, bells, bells, Cwith apologies to PoeD. Like two torrents, the young men and women with exag- gerated decorum and courtesy swept into their classes- that's an empty seat next to THAT blond -and sat down. There was a face with two eyes that beheld these thirsting novices. The head executed a negative movement, the eyes were not happy, an audible sigh of resignment arose from the depths of the desk-classes had begun. Class cards were gathered. Names were mispronounced and laughed at. Seat assignments were given. l'm on the front row and THAT blond's on the back, and all because of a name! A short lecture, in a monotonous monotone, upon the objectives of the course fell upon bewildered ears. Text books, lab books, work books, and just plain books were next set forth by the learned professor. All the while, student and professor were striving vainly to impress one another. Finally the bell rang again, and after five minutes, a repeat performance was reenacted. This went on all day intermittently and continually. After the last class, the bedraggled Freshmen went to the Bookshop to procure their texts HOW MUCH! They bought books, drank a coke-if they had a nickel left, and went back to the dorm. That evening the halls resounded with the scratching of myriad pens: Dear Folks, I bought books today. I am broke. Love. A laughing sun turned off it's light. The first day of college was history. Other days were to follow, however. Days that would be all too short for the many and varied activities. The memories of the first day would fade away-the future was destined to be enjoyable.

HAZING CULMINATED BT HELL WEEK S makeup is to beauty, so Hell Week is to the first year of that old and honored institution, College. The climax of four weeks of harmless, but persistent hazing brought to light the ingenuity of the Sophomores as well as the bare facts about Fresh- men gals' faces. The Green-Clad kids got off relatively easy-but for the first time the gory details are set forth without fear of favor or contradiction. Inglorious green and yellow bits of felt bobbed about the Hill, like unto a Held of daff-odils dancing in the breeze of spring. Many of the parvenus were shown the in- tricacies of the age-old art of buttonning, and since practice is making for perfect, the apprentices of Sherwood Forest spent many hours achieving perfection by command performances. Some few held resolutely to their claim of maturity, but the light of understanding appeared unto them as they walked many weary miles viewing the starlit skies. Feelin' Foolish could have easily been their theme song as they stood humbly in chapel waiting for their superiors to seat themselves. Sensing surges of power in their ignoble limbs, the Erin lads set out to break the shackles of their mighty oppressor. Advancing from their lair they met the sturdy Sophs. Both forces, taken by surprise, were unable to bring up their heavy artillery, so hand-to-hand fighting ensued. The battle waxed furiously at the bottom of the Hill. Back and forth the waves of embattled brutes swayed -after thirty minutes of this, everyone, who had not lost their trousers, went downtown and bought each other a drink. Amalgamated Scarecrow dropped 80 points the first time the general public got a glimpse of the UN glamorized Freshmen girls. Pigtails-no lipstick-no powder-no rouge-black lisle stockings-dresses reversed-books in bags CYeah, they still carry books at that stage-but it doesn't last long!D-and some poet gained immortality writing about ungarnished beauty!!! All of this was culminated in an evening's enter- tainment by the Sophomore girls-Came the midnight hour and through the stillness came a torturous scream fighting in its agony to reach and rend the fearful listening ear. Rudely awakened, the victims were marched to their awaiting doom. First to the balcony, to kneel and pay what happened to tradition-the forced homage to the might and greatness of the Sopho- freshmen cf!f11Q15fe,L,f,If,1f1i1f'C1a5Smen more then Then Tl-len Tl-lEn-THEN!

THE GREEKS SELL THEMSELVES ALE CARNEGIE wouldn't have had a chance the hrst six weeks on the Hill. Little did the innocent suspect that the sudden interest and helpfulness on the part of the dignified upperclassmen was a cloak beneath which lurked the serpent of high pressure. pleasantly aglow, the young stood before unrelenting mirrors and searched in vain for the charm and personality that made their college elders ever desirous of their company. Many were the nights that midnight oil fitfully glowed upon secret meetings of the frats and sororities. Now this kid is just the kind we're looking for. Her father's just rolling in jack, and I ain't talking about hay. Ah, you just don't know the kid. I'm tellin' yuh he's got the OK. stuff. Every Monday night the echo of such declama- tions bounced from shadowed walls. Unnumbered drinks and cigarettes were dispensed. Smiles, hand shakes, inside dope on the profs, pleasant words were thrown about with seeming abandon. Invi- tations to dinners, breakfasts, etc. began to roll in. The fledgling's chest began to bulge- he didn't know what was in store for him! Garden parties, wiener roasts, barn dances, tacky parties, parties, midnight feeds, double dates-always with some newly acquired upper classman friend. just a Social Butterfly. No Beebe or Frazier could have led a merrier, or dizzier pace. The hour of reckoning was at hand-the final week of rushing. Thus far a very subtle campaign had been the program. There was now no longer time for palaver. Pressure took the fore: They're a bunch of rats. Look at our house. Of course, if you're not particular about your associates. You're too smooth to get tied up with that bunch of deadheadsf' I could tell you plenty about that group. -Talk, argument, holdouts, worry, persuasion, talk, indecision, headaches, one or two heartaches.

OLDEST ORGANIZATION ON HILL APPING a long period of steady expansion, the present chapter of what once was known as the Hawkins Literary Society passed a most successful season for its second year as the Kappa-Mu Zeta of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. After spending thirteen years as the Missouri Gamma chapter of Theta Kappa Nu, the local chapter took its present name when the two national groups merged in August, 1939. Organized as the Hawkins Literary Society by Madison C. Hawkins in October of 1867, the group reorganized as the local fraternity, Alpha Delta Theta, in 1915, and joined Theta Kappa Nu in 1936. Though still known as the Hawks,', the group is now one of 107 chapters in 39 states and Canada, a member HMM the flames Within my of the third largest social fraternity in the nation. Not only the oldest organization on the campus, it is the oldest chapter in the national Organization. The first event of Kappa Mu Zeta's social season was the annual Barn Dance, held this year at Stone's newly completed dairy barn. Usurping bovine rights for the evening, guests enjoyed traditional apples and cider refreshments and danced to the music of Junior Musolino and his orchestra. The fall social calendar also included Lambda Chi banquets at Homecoming, Thanksgiving and Christmas. The annual Christmas stag party was held at the house, December 19. Spring opened with Bud Kaiser playing for the Hawk informal. Hannibal and the Mark Twain Hotel were the scenes of the group's spring dinner-dance on May 2. Mothers of the chapter members were the guests of honor at the house May 11 for the annual Mother's Day luncheon. During the year Lambda Chi Alpha pledged tvvcflty-S6VC11 men. fireplace . . .

WAS THE MATHETROPIAN soomfrr URING the year of 1940-41, Mu Theta Nu con- tinued and expanded the many activities which have characterized the group from its founding. Founded in September of 1868 as the Mathetropian Literary Society, the group engaged in the activities common to the campus literary societies until the catastrophic Administration Building fire in 1903 destroyed all its valuable papers and brought to an end the nrst period of its history. After a period of comparative inactivity, the group was reorganized as the greek-letter social fraternity of ML1 Theta Nu in 1921. The group has never been affiliated with any other campus organization and is the oldest local the fraternity vvest of the Mississippi. The Maths opened their fall social season with a ferry-boat party and river island Wiener roast during the rushing season. Carl Landrum played for the fall informal dance held in the gymnasium decorated with autumn leaves and flowers. During the year, besides numerous house parties, the Maths have been hosts at Homecoming, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Banquets, a rush-party at the Chris- tian Church, and birthday parties at the house for active members, A special victory banquet was held for Math members of the football squad, A iiMHtl1,, basketball team of non-varsity men took second place in the Quincy Central States tourney.

BABY OF T HE SOCIAL GROUPS PONSORED by a faculty committee on student organizations, Phi Kappa Chi sorority was organized and received its charter December 6, 1921. Carrying out the sorority color motif of green and white, the lily of the valley was chosen for the sorority flower. Phi Kappa Chi is a local social organization and has never been afiiliated with any other sorority or fraternity on the college campus. Continuing to display an interest in the activities of the school as a whole, Phi Kappa Chi presented the library with eight reproductions of American original paintings, bringing the total to ten. It is planned to hang the pictures in a special room for the Phi collection in the new library building on its completion. This year the sorority room in Culver Hall was completely refurnished and reclecorated. December 7, the Phis and Chi Omegas cooperated for the second year and presented the school social calendar with an inter-sorority formal dance. April 27, the group entertained the faculty and members of the administration at an afternoon tea in the sorority hall. The Alumnae luncheon during Commencement Week ended the social activities of Phi Kappa Chi for 1940-41. The Phis climaxed their social season with their third annual formal dinner-dance at the Lincoln Douglas Hotel in Quincy on April 26. Junior Musolino's orchestra fur- nished the music, which included arrangements of several sorority songs. A quartet composed of Martha Ballard, Virginia Frazee, Muriel Gund, and Mary Scott sang one number. u Phi prexy, Margaret Brown, was toastmistress, Miss Dorothy Constantz, alumnae speaker, and Mrs. Hootman, guest speaker were on the program. With the end of the rush season the Phis pledged 25 girls of whom 21 were initiated into the active group March 15 and 16. Christine Kuhlman was chosen honor initiate.

FOUNDED IN 1867 U Gamma chapter of Chi Omega evolved from the Zetolophian Literary Society which was founded at Christian University in 1867. After spending fifteen years at the local social fraternity, Zeta Lambda Sigma, the organization received a Chi Omega Chapter in the spring of 1927. Founded at the University of Arkansas in 1895, Chi Omega is today the oldest national vvomen's social organization and has ninety-six chapters and the largest membership among sororities. A successful rushing season netting tvventy-three pledges began in the fall with a school daze party, featured dinners, teas, coke-parties, a trip on the ferry for an island picnic, and was climaxed by the traditional wedding of Miss Rushee and Mr. Mu Gamma. At the end of the pledge season, Maurine Boulvvare and Elaine Lowe were chosen as honor initiate and model pledge. During the year Chi Omega materially increased their collection of books relating to the activities of women. On December 7, the Mu Gamma chapter cooperated with Phi Kappa Chi sorority in order to add to an interesting social calendar with the third annual formal inter-sorority dance in Culver Gymnasium. The annual spring formal dinner-dance Was held May 17, in Hannibal at the Mark Tvvain Hotel. The Chi O trio composed of Norma Mayfield, Evelyn Orr, and Virginia Witty rendered several numbers. Lillian Leslie performed in the capacity of toast-mistress and Mrs. Elizabeth Tipton and Chi O president Alice Petska delivered short addresses to the assembled guests. On May 11, the Chi Omega girls entertained their mothers at their annual tea held in conjunction with the Mother's Day festivities. The tea was held in the sorority hall. An alumnae dinner,during Commencement Week, ended the Chi O social activities for the year. An interesting paragraph? Chi O officers T y van Public Speakers . . . FRESHMEN EXTEMP CCNTEST MILD SUCCESS ID THEY LAUGH WHEN YOU GOT UP TO SPEAK? DOES THE CHAIRMAN CALL ON YOU FOR AN OPINION? YOU CAN BE A PUBLIC SPEAKER TOO. To become a reputable speaker, one must speak, and thus Culver-Stockton presents an annual Freshmen Extemporaneous Speaking Contest in November. Twelve bold and determined Freshmen expressed their desire to stand and declare unto the world the flam- ing truth, to withhold nothing in order that posterity might know that its predecessors were living examples of the inherent right of every American to speak that which he would. In direct contrast to nations of force, these twelve exemplified Democracy at its best. Upon these twelve rested the responsibility of displaying such declamatory arts as to impress all who would hear.

The marching band augmented by six beautiful baton bafflers hit a new high in musical enter- tainment during the football season. Intricate drills punctuated with the sun's flash on of the Homecoming game ascending batons provided new sensations for Culver-Stockton audiences. The crescendo of the year was struck at1Marshall, Missouri when the Wildcats de- cisively clawed the Vikings. just as the band assembled to go onto the field, Mother Nature sent premature ovations in the form of sprinkling rain. As the band marched upon the field the ovation increased, and with every drill the more multitudious the damp bouquets poured down. Climaxing the performance with a lights-out drill, the bedraggled aggregation won a deserved acclamation from a soaked crowd. v Ready to march onto the field between halves lst Row: Leslie, Lloyd, Bertram, Carline, Mayfield, Witt, Yager, Kirby, French, Tucker, Jenkins. 2nd Row: Waterston, Moore, Butler, Perry, Gooch, Orr, Kiethly, Frazee, Gamet, Craig, Prof. Young. 3rd Row: Oblander, Carter, Jackson, Norris, Lummis, J.

Twenty-nine Class of 1944 . . . OSSESSED of little dignity and less campus knowledge, some one hundred and thirty odd Freshmen descended upon the hill September 9, 1940, entirely unaware of the apprehension with which their arrival had been witnessed. Critical eyes watched with in- tenseness their every moveg with unusual generosity, a certain per- centage of the enrollment of upper classmen distributed large quan- tities of well-meant advice which was eagerly absorbedg the number of steps in the stairway were duly counted and marveled over with horrified exclamations. Abruptly the rosy glow in which the green ones had been floating changed chameleon-like to the glaring white brightness of reality. Enrollment and registration alighted like a plague on their rapture. Aroused by the promotion to that hallowed group, the College Stu- dents, the class of '44 suddenly found themselves in a bewildered dazeg the advice that had been so liberally bestowed upon them during the first few days, surprisingly enough, presented no escape from the dilemma. Eventually the disillusionment wore off and these pitifully unsuspecting souls were plunged into Hell Week. The sophomore class drew up the following rules and regulations for this week of endurance and a copy of the following was bestowed upon each freshmen: Mary Adair - George Addicks Carol Anderson Martha Ballard Mary Barger Barbara Baum Darwin Bien Dale Bogguss Robert Booth 'Thirty kgs Maurine Boulware J' John Bruning .,5i. . wa. ea. ,J aw , L iv' I if fa Q ' A i ' Donald Burns if Bette Butler Jean Butler Kenneth Carlson Wm.

The Sophomore Class Pride and vanity were finally replaced by a deep humility and all regard for appearance expired quietly sometime between the be- ginning and the end of that week of horror. However, this was a class with a mind of its own and rebellion simmered and then boiled over resulting in a battle. royal between the men of the Freshman class and the men of the Sophomore class, down at the bottom ofthe hill. The sophomores triumphed and the rebels were judiciously de- pantsed. With overwhelming generosity, the Sophomores graciously returned the trousers to their respective owners in chapel a few weeks later. V. Eventually, after weeks of nerve-wrecking torture, the Freshmen had been acceptedg they were in I Assuming that this new station in life was an indication of great expectations of them, these newfledged collegiates took the initiative and proved, without a doubt, that they were worthy of recognition.

The golfers have been watching David Moody of the class of '44 with calculating eyes. The Girls Pep Squad increased its number with four vivacious Freshmen: Mary Herleman, Nancy Martyn, who also held the office of Vice-President of her class, Christine Kuhlman, Treasurer of the Freshman class, and Pat Spahr. Helen Tucker, championship baton twirler stepped gracefully into an outstanding position out in front of the band. The combined talents of John Decker, Katherine Kavenda, Angelo Kentes, and Dorothy Shirey were recognized by the Klieg Players and advantageously utilized in the fall production, What a Life . Vervia Probst exhibited superiority in the Freshman Extemporaneous contest and Carroll I-Iackamack gained recognition as a debater of major ability. Bob Chapman, Gilbert Wiehe and George Mueller, in spite of the strain of his hilarity on his voice or perhaps because of it, are members of the College Quartet. Another addition to the musical percentage of the enrollment was Mabel Gamer, soprano. The class was exceedingly well represented in the field of creative art by joy Gray whose work appeared in The Bluffs and on the cover of the Messiah program. One of the cleverest chapel programs of the year was presented by the first year students. Modeled on the numerous quiz programs of radio, the theme was based on questions asked by John Decker, Master of Ceremonies, and answered by members of the audience chosen at random by Michelle de Crespigny and Angelo Kentes. Which just goes to show you that this is an extraordinarily im- aginative and individual class. Now, at last, the Freshmen have come to the end of a year of humility and have the privilege of looking forward to next year, when they will cease to obey and commence to command.

FOES 1. 2 lfrfitpf Barry, Freise Posey, Pauly OR the first time in the history of Culver-Stockton football, the gridiron aggregation captured undisputed possession of the M. C. A. U. crown. The Wildcats presented a world of power and disception as they drove to the title. Chuck Larson, little All-American selection and one of the leading national ground gainers and scorers, Art Hendren, burly fullback, and Fred Preise, pass-throwing blocking back, all-conference selections were standouts in the backfield. George Barry, all-state and all-conference tackle, Elgie Posey, stickey-fingered all-confer- ence end, and rugged all-conference Clyde Flaugh were the bulwarks of the line. Hob Phillips, Bill Burnett, and Dale Hendren were second team selections on the all-conference roster at end, guard, and center respectively. Other men deserving of praise were Vincent Pauly, who filled in at full-back, center, and tackle, Ott Bay, diminutive back, the smallest man on the squad, Wayne Acord, hard running under- study to Larson, Little Tony Premer, scrappy guard, Bob Stevens, pass snatching end, Big Bob Thrap, two-hundred thirty pound guard, Bob Foster, another pass catching end, Big Bob Langan, utility tackle, and Bill Seifert utility freshman guard. Pour seniors, Preise, Posey, Larson, and Barry were chosen co- captains at the termination of the season's play. These four plus Bay and Pauly are the only men who will trade in the football for a diploma. Coach Scott took his cohorts to Cape Girardeau to open the 1940 campaign against the Southeast Missouri State Teacher's College, on September 20, under lights. The Cape Indians, rated the class ofthe M. I. A. A. showed a slight edge on the ground, but the Wild- cats won complete control of the air. The Indians never produced a serious scoring threat and, toward the end of the game,found them- selves deep in their own territory.

Two minutes later the game ended in a scoreless tie. Saturday, September 28, the Wildcats invaded the Cornell College gridiron at Mt. Vernon, Iowa, Coach Scott's Alma Mater, where they lost their first game of the season, 7-6, in one of the most thrilling games of the season. The Culvermen drew first blood by scoring on a lateral from Art I-Iendren to Larson after a fifty-five yard march. An attempt to convert by passing failed. Cornell took the following kick off, registered live first downs, and drove into pay dirt. The kick for the point was good. A week later the Culver-Stockton team scored three touchdowns in the first quarter as they whipped Tarkio, 31-19, on the Culver field. The Wildcats displayed real scoring power as they won the initial conference game of the season. C-S took the opening kick- off, picked up two first downs in as many plays and then shook Larson loose for a 33 yard touchdown jaunt. The second touchdown came after Freise had passed to I-lendren who galloped to the Tarkio five. From here Larson again scored through tackle.

In the second half Preise tossed another one to Phillips who was sauntering in the end zone, after Posey's interception had put the ball in position on the Owls' twenty. Soon afterward Art Hendren passed to Larson for the final touchdown of the afternoon. Culver failed to pick up a single extra point. The following Thursday night saw the white-jerseyed Scottmen sweep through the rain to their second conference victory. Behind, 14-12, at the half, Culver came back early in the third quarter with a 70-yard sustained drive, climaxed by Larson's 15-yard inside tackle gallop to the end-zone. The Vikings strove desperately to overcome the lead by tossing the soggy pigskin at every opportunity during the fourth period downpour of rain. Toward the end of the game they were forced to punt into the Culver end zone. A holding penalty put the ball on the C-S five in Culver's possession. Hendren, in punt formation fumbled a bad pass from center, saw he couldn't kick, and galloped through the astonished Viking secondary to midfield, where he lateraled to Phillips who picked up an additional fifteen yards. Culver fumbled, Valley recovered, Valley passed, Posey intercepted and went to the Valley one from where Hendren drove over. That clinched the game, 24-12. Larson picked up two touchdowns during the game and Posey and Art Hendren one each, but again no extra points were chalked up. On the 18th of October, the Central Eagles bowed to the Culver men, 32-14, at Fayette in another night game. The Central outfit scored the first two touchdowns and led, 14-O, midway in the second quarter. Here the Cantonians took over the scoring cudgel and refused to relinquish it. at 1 Foster goes up for a pass in Homecoming game as Posey covers deep l L Qs -mf .H . 'Q . I Q .5 615 N.: ' 5 0 :.

Traveling to Maryville for their last non-conference game, the Wildcats lost a bitterly fought contest to the Teachers, 7-O, Friday, October 25. The only score of the game occurred in the second quarter when Schottell, teacher half back intercepted Art I-Iendren's lateral and went 45 yards to score. Culver threatened several times, but lacked the scoring punch which was evidenced in earlier games. On November 2, the Wildcat Frosh, bolstered by several utility upper-class men, journeyed to Macomb, where they defeated the Western State Teacher's freshmen 14-O. On the first scrimmage play of the game Pauly passed to Foster who galloped -45 yards to W.S.T.C. three yard line. Downs scored and Bay place kicked the extra point. The second touchdown came late in the F0Sfef D- Hendfen second quarter. Bay flipped a twenty yard forward to Pauly who carried to the five. Three plays later Pauly drove over and again Bay converted to end the scoring. On November 9, the Culver-Stockton aggregation wound up their season with a magnificent, 39-O, victory over the Car- dinals of William Jewell before a large Homecoming gathering. In the first quarter Larson ran through left tackle for 5 yards to score the first touchdown and a pass from Freise to Phil- lips accounted for the extra point. In the second period, Larson again scored from 8 yards out, but the try for the point failed. The half ended, 13-0. Early in the third quarter Larson again went over from the 12 yard line. Five min- utes later Larson again, behind perfect blocking, traveled twenty yards around his end to go over standing up. Ott Bay place- kicked the point. Art Hendren, who had been doing yeoman work with his blocking, scored through the middle from the five but Bay's kick was wide. Then Larson broke around end and scored his fifth touchdown of the afternoon and accounted for the extra point to end the scoring for the day. The 31 points garnered by Larson placed him near the top in the national scoring, raising his total to 87. Thrap Downs Langan Seifert F ty th 1 xg i 1 C'-S-TA, football, the fvolic . HOMECOMING IN RETROSPECT ULVER-STOCKTON'S 1941 Homecoming was a week-end in which one event climaxed another. Only the importance of the Homecoming game made the Frolic an anticlimax. From the hour when Doris Nelson was crowned queen of Homecoming activities until the last tired hoofer reluctantly left the Frolic, dull moments were few and far between. Not even the cold drizzle, which eventually turned into a pouring rain, could drown the spirits of the largest Homecoming crowd in the history of Culver- Stockton's open house for old grads. This year there was more to instill the spirit of holiday rejoicing than the influence of old times. For on the afternoon of Saturday, November 9, 1940, a Culver-Stockton football team was crowned undisputed champion of the Missouri College Athletic Union for the first time. William Jewell was humbled 39-O. What, indeed, could give more satisfaction? Something entirely new opened in festive week end-the C-S-TA. The Mexican are gayest at their Fiesta. Thus the analogy. Master of Ceremonies Bill Sener, '36, was the genial gent who kept the program moving, as well as the fellow who placed the crown on the queenly head of Doris Nelson, proclaiming her absolute ruler of all Home- coming land. Queen Doris I charged her loyal subjects to enter freely into the spirit of the occasion, and her gridiron warriors to return victorious from the battlefield on the morrow. Queen Doris reigned over a gala evening of music and laughter. The a Capella Choir, under the direction of Stephen Ben- EgLiinggfggggigxgegpgfgizf nett Williams, outdid itself. Director Ralph Young's band rocked the rafters. Helen Tucker, premiere baton twirler, caused a mild sensation as she twirled her lighted baton in the completely darkened auditorium. Culver-Stockton Hall and John Hepler Wood Hall furnished laugh-provoking stunts, with the men coming through for their fair queen. Coach Paul K. Scott could have been much more optimistic than he was, being content to say, A lot of football can be played in sixty minutes. A lot was. It rained on Saturday. Nobody told the weather man that there was a parade Saturday afternoon. Everybody was too busy building floats. The band was too busy marching. The rain was pour- ing. The colorfully-decorated floats were becoming sodden masses of conglomerated color. Even the local merchants had a premonition of im- pending disaster, for their window decorations were well under par. So there was no parade. Yet, folks didn't seem to mind a lot. . Football 1 was in the air. It wasn't the kind of a day one F arty-four reads about in stories. The hills around the gridiron were not a mass of riotous color in the warm, autumn sunlight. It was cold. Low-flying clouds scudded over' a windswept field flanked on three sides by automobiles. The stands were full. The Wildcats were out for an undisputed title, and Chuck Larson was expected to burn up the soggy turf. Near the top of the stands three students huddled around a microphone, describing the game over a direct wire to the bedside of W. M. Turley, ailing member of the Board of Trustees. Sixty minutes later the rain, clouds, and wind were forgotten. Everyone who could count past twenty-five knew that the final score was 39-0, that Larson had scored five touchdowns as his team-mates scattered the unfortunate Cardinals like ten pins. Enthusiasm jumped to a high pitch, to stay there throughout the rest of the day. The alumnae tea was designed for visiting and plenty of talk flew. Eats and tall stories dominated the fraternity He1enT,,cke,,p,ettybat0n twirler and sorority banquets. So plentiful were the eats, and so tall were the stories, that out-of-season rushing was necessary to get the I-Iomecomers to the Frolic. A Frolic attendance record was set with more than 500 tickets being sold and 139 out-of-town alumni among the crowd. The rhythms of Nat Towles' fifteen-piece colored band kept the dancers happy, and kept the remi- niscences of alumnae from spreading to undergrads. On Sunday morning those who survived the Frolic turned up at the Christian Church for an impressive close to a wonderful week end, as President W. I-I. McDonald spoke. Homecoming in retrospect. Top honors in planning and carrying out plans went to General Chairman Fred Krueger, to student and faculty assistants went somewhat lesser bouquets. The entire program, from C-S-TA to church service, was well-organized and conducted. Lots of people, lots of successes, lots of fun.

TABLE TENNIS CROWN GOES fro cas OR the first time in the eighty-eight years of Culver-Stockton's existence, she has a national championship. lt came on the evening of March 22, when the table tennis team of Don and George Hendry took three straight matches from the Wash- ington University CSt. Louisb team of Lester Perl- mutter and Wilbur Eckstein to win the fourth annual 1 national intercollegiate table tennis tournament. 1 George, undefeated in two years of intercollegiate play, was named outstanding individual player- national singles champion-for the second time, Champions, George and Don Hendry, while Don, with a clean slate until the final tie, shared second-place individual honors with Perlmut- ter, who bowed only to George. Scores of the final matches: G. Hendry d. Perlmutter 21-13, 21-17, D. Hendry d. Eckstein 21-16, 23-25, 21-175 G. and D. Hendry d. Perlmut- ter and Eckstein 21-16, 21-13. Foremost cup to be added to the Hendrys' collection is the huge Thomas C. Bradley traveling trophy. For his singles title, George received a clock-and-pen desk set, while Don and Perlmutter both won a clock trophy in sharing second place. To the hrst and second place teams went gold trophies given by Canton service clubs. The Hendry brothers have been outstanding in national table tennis circles for the last six years. George is the stronger individual player, having won many Middle Western titles, and having been a member of the United States team which com- peted in international tournaments in 1938. In that same year, George won the Western open, and, with Bill Price, the national doubles title. His 1938 record ranked him second in the U.S. Since January 1, 1941, Don and George have won the Misississippi Valley, Central Western States and Iowa Open doubles titles, and George has taken over the singles titles in each of these tournaments. Clever exhibi- tionists outside of tourna- ments, the Hendrys have appeared many times in this area, showing table tennis as the experts play it, before capacity audiences. with their trophies George drives hard as Don awaits the return F arty-six Socially speaking . . . FUN AND FROLIC ON THE HILL OCIALLY speaking, Culver-Stockton has prominence also. From September 28, when the Student Senate hired Bud Kaiser and his band to provide the rhythmic measures for an all-school dance, until May 17, when the Chi Omegas gave their annual formal spring dinner-dance. The socialites had little time to consider even Dale Car- negie's best seller. Close on the heels of the successful Student Senate venture came the Lambda Chi's Barnwarminf Held October 5 in the new barn of Stone's Dairy a few miles outside of town, it provided fun, frolic, cider, apples and dancing to a merry crowd while the cows wandered around outside. The first rush dance of the school year had been launched. The Greeks were off. Next came the Mu Theta Nu informal in the Culver Gym on October 17. Carl Lan- drum's outfit provided the music at this well-attended affair that supplied its share of gaiety to a happy week-end of merriment. The following week-end from October 18 to October 20 the social organizations drew a mighty sigh and plunged into the final rush parties of the semester. Dale Car- negie's popular work wouldn't have been snubbed during these three days even if it had been remembered. Chis, Phis, Mu Theta Nus, and Lambda Chis put on the final pressure and then took it easy until Homecoming. On November 8 the C-S-TA opened homecoming festivities that culminated in the happy Frolic on the night of November 9. Fifteen colored rhythm-makers, under the direction of Nat Towles, beat out hot tunes and crooned sweet numbers to a delighted capacity crowd. The largest and most successful Homecoming dance in C-S history was held against a background of the old South. It was appropriately ruled over by Home- coming Queen Doris Nelson and attendants Mary Anne Kubieck and Mildred Neal Lloyd. November 19 saw both fraternities entertain at their respective houses with formal Thanksgiving dinners. Fun Cross sections of the bums WELS 21lDI11'1Cl2,I'1t despite E116 e rain and permission was late enough to warrant a dime show. The evening was well filled. joe Williams brought his orchestra into town on Dec. 7 and set up in the Culver Gym to entertain the crowd at the second annual Inter- sorority dance. The initial formal dance of the year was held under a blue sky of crepe paper from which F arty-seven hung gold and silver stars. Beginning Tuesday afternoon, December 10, the Student Senate inaugurated a series of Teas- ers which were held in the recreation room of Wood Hall. Music for the regular Tuesday- Thursday get-togethers was sup- plied by a record machine, and an occasional jam session fea- tured Jimmy Yager and his traps. December 12 the Chi Omegas gave a Christmas party in their Struckmeyer, Barger, Mayfield, and Pauly sit one out at the and the Kaps followed the next week, on December 19, by duplicating the social feat. The fraternities meantime had chosen December 13 to give their annual Christmas dinners in their homes. The dormitories also entertained and on December 19 the Lambda Chis held a stag present-exchanging party in their house. Christmas vacation and the final exams stopped jollity then. Students found little time to be social butterflies and soon settled down to read books, write papers, drink numerous cups of black coffee, and smoke countless cigarettes. Finally the crises passed and the campus once more assumed a cloak of gaiety. The W.A.A. opened the second semester social calendar with a Valentine dance in Culver Hall on February 14 and the same organization followed it up with a tea dance Cjust to be differentD on February 22. Next the House Council of Wood Hall put on a Bum dance in their dining room. Hot dogs, dirty faces, and torn shirts provided atmosphere for an evening of complete enjoyment. The Lambda Chis entertained at an informal in the gym on March 7, and a St. Pat- rickls day dance followed on March 14, before the second annual Junior Prom highlighted the second semester social life. The social organizations closed the season with out-of-town dances in the week- ends proceeding commencement. Lambda Chi Barnwarmin' On 26, the Kaps lout-neyed Part of the crowd which enjoyed the Mu to Quincy, stepped into the L1ncoln-Doug- Them Nu Informal las, and enjoyed a formal dinner dance. Following this the Lambda Chis went to Hannibal, and held their dinner dance at the Hotel Mark Twain. It was back to Quincy and the Lincoln-Douglas with the Mu Theta Nu frat on May 10, and then the Chi Omegas, the following Saturday, so- journed to Hannibal's Mark Twain to end the whirlpool of social life for 1940-41. It was a most enjoyable year. F arty-eight A Symphony o 'voices . . . CHOIR ENTERTAINS AT CHRISTMAS, EASTER HE a Capella Choir, under the direction of Stephen Bennett Williams, head of the Department of Fine Arts, is Culver-Stockton's best and most popular musical group. Some sixty voices are used in presenting selections from the world's best choral music before Culver-Stockton and out-of-town audiences each year. Impressive in performance, as well as in appearance, the choir was heard on the campus at the Homecoming C-S-TA, during the Christmas and Easter seasons, in chapel, and as part of the Commencement program. The work of Director Williams and his choir has become known and appreciated in Missouri and Illinois high schools, where the singers have been heard on spring concert tours. The highlight of the Hrst semester's work came with the twelfth annual presentation of Handel's Messiah , this year sung on Sunday, December 15. Two guest artists from Chicago, Robert Long and john MacDonald, were outstanding additions as bass and tenor soloists. Rhoda Hager, soprano, and Kathryn Crum, alto, were student soloists. Thirty additional college and town voices raised the chorus total to ninety-four singers. Accompanists were William Spencer Johnson, at the piano, and John Holscher, at the electric organ. The college orchestra played the Uverture and Pastoral Symphony, to complete an impressive presentation. The gym was decorated with evergreen boughs and lighted by candelabra. Programs with block printed cover designs by the art classes added much to the entire program. Although rainy weather prevailed, the gym was well-filled. Besides appearing at the C-S-TA, the choir was on hand to do a bit of caroling at the Christmas chapel program. The singing of Dubois' The Seven Last Words of Christ opened Canton's observance of the Lenten season. Rhoda Hager, Hubert Hohn, and Gilbert Wiehe were student soloists in the Easter Cantata. The annual spring trip, this time to St. Louis, closed the 1941 choir activities. The a Capella choir Stephen B. Williams Director l . F y Hilltop thespicms . . . AMATEURES EFFECTIVE IN PRODUCTIONS O the Klieg Players goes the distinction of having the largest extr-curricular mem- bership on the Hill-and, perhaps, the dubious distinction of having the smallest percentage of membership present at some of the meetings. Known as the Dramatic Club in the first period of its history-1917-1938, the Players adopted their present name in a general reorganization move. The name, unfamiliar to one who has seldom been behind the footlights, comes from the powerful type of lamp used in stage lighting. Going back even further, the lamp bears the name of the man who developed it. The Klieg Players organization is open to students interested in any of the varied phases of dramatic production-acting, costume designing, scenery construction, make-up or lighting. The Players produce from three to four major plays per season, as well as aiding in the presentation of the Mahan one-act plays in the spring. Shows this year were What A Life , the fall play given on October 31, a week .before Homecoming, The Hill Between , mid-winter production, and the student directed one-act plays on April 8. Aside from its dramatic contributions, the Klieg group was instrumental in pur- chasing a recording machine to be used by the Speech Department. To give recognition to outstanding members of the group, a plan creating an inner circle organization was adopted by the Players. Points are given for activity within the club, and those gaining a certain number of points are elected to this honorary group. Regular monthly meetings include a business session and a program. Members take turns in presenting skits, readings, and one-act plays for the amusement of other mem- bers, as well as for their own experience and enjoyment. Occasionally eats make meeting of special importance. An impressive candle-light initiation ceremony was developed this year by Bob Allard, and replaced a rather ordinary ceremony which had served previously. The fall play, What A Life , starred Katherine Kavenda and John Decker in a show dealing with the high school troubles of Henry Aldrich, the lovable character created by Clifford Goldsmith and por- trayed on Broadway and radio by Ezra Stone. Decker, as Henry, and Kavenda, as Barbara Pearson, carried the top per- formances, but they were well supported by Bob Allard, Mar- guerite Goetz, Roy Metcalf, Bob Booth, Peggy Butler, Angelo FRONT ROW, Left to Right-McKellar, de Crespigny, Gund, Richardson.

The winter play, given on December 5, was Lulu Vollmer's mountain folk play, The Hill Between -a young doctor's struggle between his duty to his native hill people, and his wifes desire to return to the dizzy whirl of Manhattan social life. The principal roles were handled by Mary Scott, Freddy Brown, Bob Allard, Hubert Hohn, Doris Nelson, George Mueller and Clyde Heckrodt. The setting, a mountain cabin, was well done. Lighting was effective. The ability of the cast to present to folkways, the strange customs, the code of the mountains, and the peculiar dialect received much favorable comment from audience and newspaper critics alike. Directed by members of the play production class, four one-act student written plays were presented on Tuesday, April 8, in the fourth annual presentation of entries for the Mahan one-act play contest. Anna Henry's play, Johnny Baker Grows Up , the first to be presented, was directed by Connie Crist and Dorothy Shirey. The scene centered around college activities, poking fun at many time-honored C-S traditions. Dorothy Porter's No Triumph dealt with sorority politics and was directed by Freddy Brown l and James Yager. Genevieve McClain and Doris Nelson produced Carrie On by Betty Sahuartz, third presentation of the evening. The high spot of the evening for most of the audience was Ott Bay's adaptation of Mr. Mergenthwirker's Lob- blies. ' ' Theplaywas directed by Charles Larson and Geraldine Stee.

THIRTZCONE CHURCHES SERVED BT EIGHT HE membership of the Ministerial Association of Culver-Stockton lis composed of students who are studying for the ministry and missionary vvork, faculty members, and all others who are interested in the Welfare of the Church. Eight student ministers, who are mem- bers of this Association, have been en- gaged in actual service to thirty-one churches during the year 1940-41. One of the aims of this organization is to Bk :Dk,Yt,O'2l,P .MD ld,Uhl,Rb' , ' S hllgivigartfiiz Sli:at?d?sR.?1TlkixEyg1gxi?3il, Dii'.'l,lIim2imiso11, V6l'1ite?1ulxi5?n foster Case and good fc-HOVVS-hlp afrncug p Y as cr, r. e ers. the young ministers who are just starting into the work, and the older men, who have spent many years in the service This year the Association has used a new type of program at their meetings. The members prepared papers which were read before the group. After each paper had been read, the meeting was opened for a general discussion of the paper. These programs have proved stimulating. Another achievement that has made this year outstanding was the first edition of the DISCIPLIANA. The purpose of this publication was to foster interest in the H. B. Robison Collection of Disciples' Literature. This collection has been made possible mainly through the efforts of Dr. H. B. Robison, sponsor of the Ministerial Association, and Mr. Spencer, College Librarian, who have Worked diligently to make collection of notable importance, not only to Culver-Stockton, but to the entire Brotherhood. Other activities of the Association have been in the leadership of the weekly chapel devotion, and the annual banquet during Commencement vveek. Dr. David F. Shields, minister of the Canton Christian Church, has been a very active member of the Association. Dr. Shields has been in the pulpit for many years, yet he has Cantmfs Christian Church retained the spark of enthusiasm which has marked him as an outstanding preacher. The State and International Convention of the Disciples of Christ was held in St. Louis this spring. President McDonald introduced Bob Yates, President of the Ministerial Association, who spoke on a program which consisted of speeches by college students. Culver-Stockton was represented on the International Conven- tion program by the A Cappela Choir. Culver-Stockton, the Ministerial Association, and the Brotherhood are very closely affiliated. F if ty-two In memoriam . . . TO AN C'ARDENT oLD LINER AY BRATCHER was killed in an automobile accident October 25, 1940, near Troy, Missouri. Funeral services were held in North Kansas ' City, Missouri, at the High School Auditorium. Mr. Krueger, Mr. Her- ington, and several students represented Culver-Stockton College at the service. Mr. Carl Simpson, a Christian Scientist Reader, and Bill Herod, student min- ister, and close friend of Ray, con- ducted the funeral services. That Ray had vanished forever from view seemed hard to believe, until calm reflections retrieved the first force of the shock. To say that Ray has been missed from the Hill is to beg the issue for in any group he never went without recognition, his worth having been apparent. As an athlete, Ray exhibited in College the same sense of fair play, sportsmanship, and determination which had made him one of the best liked and successful athletes in high school. His death cut short his am- bitious attitude toward college football, although as a Sophomore his potentialities were known by coaches and fellow squad members alike. As a student, Ray was practical and sincere, an asset to his classes. In all activ- ities Ray assumed an inconspicuous role by choice because he placed em- phasis upon achievement and not upon appearances. At the time of his death, President McDonald wrote the following as part of an article con- cerning Ray. Ray was one of our fine young men. He did not seek the spot-light. He did do his bit creditably in the classroom and in extra-curricular activ- ities. He was respected by the student body and faculty members. His character was beyond reproach. He leaves a definite place in the hearts of his fellow students that will be most difficult to fill. Ray wasn't in college long enough for him to see the achievement of all of his ambitions, yet he is remembered as outstanding because he never sought recognition, he was known as a friend because he was always friendly, he is remembered because inwardly all hope that someday their friends will have admired them as much as Ray was admired.

The Fresh- men advisors are in a majority in this groupg somehow they feel the urge to confer the spoils of a year's experience upon the lowly ones who are frightened and homesick. Consequently the Freshman class as a whole, are a herd of misguided souls up to the Fifty-four time of their enlightenment which arrives when an obliging upperclassman sets them straight about Sophomores in general. lt isn't that they aren't nice individuals, just that they have gained an over-mea- sure of self confidence a little too rapidly. The gap between freshmen-hood and sophomore- hood is difficult for the average person to comprehend abruptly. However, in spite of this tem- porary obnoxiousness, the Soph- omore class soon recovered and contributed exceedingly fine ma- terial to all campus activities. The choir was presented with fourteen members in addition to one of Culver-Stockton's favor- ite soloists, Kay Crum. Dis- regarding an unfortunate acci- dent, Kay appeared as soloist with several guest artists in the Christmas Messiah. Fourteen members ofthe Klieg Players are Sophomoresg Fred- rica Brown holding the ofhce of Secretary and Bob Allard that of Vice-President. The cast of What A Life was augmented by jimmy Yager and Bob Allard, who also appeared in the The Hill Between with another Sophomore, Freddy Brown.

ENTERTAINING PROGRAMS WELL BALANCED ULVER-STOCKTON students this year were privileged to have presented for them the best-balanced lecture-entertainment series of 'recent years. Although it was generally conceded that some of the individual numbers did not come up to high standards set by kindred groups in other years, the program as a vvhole contained five distinct kinds of entertainment, at least one number was designed to reach each of the major special interest groups on the campus. The eyeless vision and sundry magic of Dr. Harlan Tarbell, who opened the series, was almost universal in its appeal. Few people can resist a good magician, and Dr. Tarbell's exceptional skill in blind-folded vision proved particularly attractive and stimulating to the educated mind. With his eyes securely taped and blindfolded, Dr. Tarbell had even the most skeptical in a state of Wonder and admiration as he read papers and tickets, and described the clothes of queerly-dressed collegians, who stood before his blindfolded eyes. Less mystifying to some, yet just as enjoyable, was Tarbell's skill at sleight-of-hand and mechanical tricks. A good number of theories concerning his eyeless vision was propounded, especially among science majors. Tarbell's secret re- mained Tarbell's secret, however. The concerts of Miss Louisa Hoe, soprano of the Chicago City Opera Company, and veteran of such programs as the Kraft Music Hall, and the Continental Ensemble of Ador Berger were enthusiastically received by the music lovers of the campus. According to Megaphone Music Critic Rilla Darnell, From her first appearance, Miss Hoe held her audience, not only by the clarity and fluency of her singing, but also by her ovvn personal attractiveness, poise and gracious manner . . . The program was especially Well balanced and interesting. The Continental Ensemble, composed of violin, viola and viola d'amour, accordion, string bass and piano, presented a program of gypsy music. Concerning the Ensemble, the Me a hone critic said 7 Hughes looks on as Tarbell patiently explains the Uplaylllg lll 21 fI'CC lmpfgvi- ' ' r M ll . . magic rings 0 ue er sational style embodying the characteristics of gypsy musi- cians, the ensemble gave us a program which was designed to appeal largely to the pop- ular taste . . . The audience was impressed by the tech- nical facility of the players. Particularly outstanding was the violist-director Ador Ber- ger. Particularly vvell received were the Victor Herbert selec- tions and an arrangement of j Dark Eyes and Two Gui- Sixtyftw tars . The work of Paganini, Liszt and Brahms was also included. For the drama enthusiasts were the able and well-known Colfer-Miller play- ers, popular on college and university campuses throughout the nation. Their original play, in the words of 't'Mega- phone dramatic critic Wayne A. Simril, purported to portray an episode in the life of the 17th century diarist Samuel fe Pepys, the play was interlarded with The C0ffe Nll2350PfI?g ff2d?T0vide hmm enough remarks of modern political im- port to be amusing and interesting even to those who fell short of a complete appreciation of the skillful play on the similar- ities and contrasts of modern manners and those of Pepys' day. -So To Bed was made even more enjoyable through the beautiful and accurate period costumes of the players. Professor Lloyd Reynolds, faculty-artist lecturer, spent two days on the campus, lecturing and demonstrating on the following subjects: Book-making and Wood- carving , Art and Society , and Theatrical Makeup . Professor Reynolds, a skilled artist, brought exhibitions of his own skill in the arts discussed. His lecture on art and society was illustrated with interesting slides. The series was closed by an illustrated lecture, Wings Over America , by Walter Van Haitsma. Van Haitsma, who has close contacts with the commercial aviation world, used beautiful colored slides in discussing, in an informal and interesting manner, the vocational opportunities in the broad commercial aviation field. The entire lecture-entertainment series was under the competent dierection of a faculty committee headed by Professor Stephen Bennett Williams, and including Professors Elkins, Heaton, Brown and Roberts. Working on a comparatively limited budget, this committee deserves commen- dation for an excellent job. Not officially connected with the lyceum series, was a well at- tended lecture delivered by Mrs. Nelle T. Lasley of Famous-Barr Company, St. Louis, on Tuesday evening, February 4, in the parlor of Culver Hall. Mrs. Lasley described the dresses of seventeen 24-inch dolls, representing famous women in the history of the world, to practic- ally every coed on the hill. The talk was sponsored by the Culver Hall house council. A. R. Edgar, Iowa State Band Miss Hoe smiles to the leader, announces a number applause Sixty-three Basketeeofs top M.C.A.U .... WILDCATS DOMINATE CONFERENCE ULVER-STOCKTON'S basketeers won the Wildcat's second M.C.A.U. sports crown of the year and the second basket- ball title in its history. The last time a C-S quintet won a con- ference title was in 1934. The Wildcat aggregation, which Coach I-lerington dubbed as the best basketball team l've ever had, displayed fine de- ception, an overabundance of power, and an unusual ability to come from behind, winning eleven of twelve conference games and ending the season's play by winning sixteen of twenty- one games played. Art Hendren, defensive ace and number one conference re- bounder, added to his football laurels by being named captain of the all-conference basketball team and center on the all-state selection. Elgie Posey, steady senior forward, was also named on the all-conference team together with Dale Love, fleet high- scoring signal caller, who was named the best floorman in the loop. Chet Clark, senior guard and Bob Wilson, freshman, rounded out the first team. The other varsity men included Swede Carlson, capable understudy to Hendren, Tony Premer, diminutive guard, Wayne Acord, stocky rebound man, sharp shooting Jimmy Wilson, who had a habit of beginning rallies, bespectacled Paul Hoff, tricky freshman forward, and flashy Lyle Fischer, another frosh with a habit of scoring. Clark and Posey, who were named co-cap- Coach Bin Herington rains, were the only seniors on , the squad. The hardwood quintet opened its campaign against the Illinois College five and snagged a 29-27 victory on December 5. The Osteo- paths of Kirksville fell, 32-31, in the next tilt when the C-S team came from behind on jimmy Wil- son's two free throws in the last thirty seconds of the contest. Car- thage was the next victim, 34-24, before Culver whip- 1 Posey ped lowa Wesleyan, Clark 36-31, in the first , Hendren Lo e home game. l Sixty-four In the initial con- ference game of the 1940-'41 season, the Wildcats trimmed the Drury Panthers, 46-29. Culver mixed fast and slow breaks engineered by very smooth ball handling and passing to run up a 19-12 half-time J. Wilson Acord Premer lead. Dale Love, playing one of his finest games of the season, scored 17 points. Big Art Hendren stood out under the bas- ket while Bob Wilson made an impressive showing. M.C.A.U. critics rubbed eyes after the Wildcats easily disposed of a pre-season favor- ite, Valley, 33-24, on the Marshall court and loafed to a 33-25 win over Jewell at Liberty on successive nights. Posey, Love, and Hendren were the standouts on the road trip. The big blue and white team then journeyed south and spanked Westminster into 34-30 submission before returning to Canton to win their ninth straight game of the season by downing Central, 33-27, in a thrilling game that saw Culver come from behind to overcome a five point deficit in the last five minutes and score ten points while holding the invading Eagle five to two. Hendren started the rally with a nice one-handed shot from the side before Love dropped in two straight from the floor. On February 4, the Herington cohorts lost their first game of the season by dropping a hotly contested game to the Tarkio Owls, 30-28, in the last five minutes of play. The following evening the Wildcats hit another snag in the Peru QNebraskaD Teachers, who barely nosed out the more aggressive Culver five, 26-25. Returning to Canton, the local cagers lost to the Carthage Redmen, 36-35, in the upset of the season, making it three straight games lost by a combined total of only four points. Perturbed by the hard luck that dogged the The Carthage game. Love shoots from the side as Hendren and , Posey move in for the rebound team and 111 an effort to keep the regulars fresh for the Drury game, Coach Herington played the reserves in the Rolla game which was also lost, 43-24. The next night the C-S quintet shook off the defeatist complex and handed Drury a 33-24 lacing on their own court for Culver's sixth con- ference victory. In a now familiar second half drive, the Wildcats, paced by Clark and 1 Sixty-five Hendren, completely overwhelmed the Panthers after being held to a 12-12 tie at the half. On the same evening Westminister knocked the Tarkio outfit into a tie for conference honors by winning, 35-34, on the Fulton floor. Again the Culver cagers were back in their winning ways. Westminister and Jewell invaded the local court next only to find that Posey, I-Iendren, Wilson, and Love were enjoying two nights of liberal point-making. Westminister lost, 37-25, before Jewell ran into a 41-30 defeat. On February 26, the Culver 'Cats played their best game of the season to claw the Tarkio Owls, 34-25, on the Canton court. The game assured the Hilltop five at least a share in the loop title as Valley had also whipped Tarkio the night before. A crowd of 1,000 witnessed the thrilling battle which was tied 21-21 with twelve minutes to go before the systematic play of the Wildcats began to click. Posey dropped in a free throw and Jimmy Wilson counted from the floor. Posey again hit, this time from the side, and Hendren sank two charity tosses to give C-S a 28-21 lead with three minutes to go. Tarkio never threatened once. The Wildcats gained undisputed first place honors on Feb- ruary 28 when they sauntered past Central, 44-38, on the Fayette floor. Three nights later they ended their regular season by again coming from behind with nine minutes to go, and nipping Valley, 45-44, at Canton. An invitation to the National Intercollegiate tournament at Kansas City was awarded the new M.C.A.U. champions. There they knocked over a favored Texas Miiles quintet, 40-26, before losing an overtime heartbreaker, 46-41, to San Diego State, eventual winner of the tournament.

The first team sport, basket-ball, was captured by the Red squad who spread-eagled the other teams in winning handily. The Whites nosed out the Green aggregation for second place while the Blues finished a poor last. The Blues made up the deficit by paddling, behind Hagood Davis, to a well earned victory in the aquatic meet. The White team splashed their way into second place, trailed by the Reds. The Green mermen wound up a very poor fourth. Volleyball competition is still under way Cat time for the deadlineD with the Green champions of last year forced to battle harder opposition than expected in order to retain their superiority. Following volleyball will come softball, the intramural track meet, and six-man football. The Reds are favorites in the track contest and Softball contests while the Greens are rated high in six-man football. In individual events Ken Carlson, Blue, upset George Hendry to win the horseshoe tournament, Darwin Bien, White, easily captured the paddle tennis tourney, Dean Davis, Blue, found it fairly easy to win out in the twenty-one tournament, Clarence Miller, Red, sank twenty-five straight free throws to win that event handily, Dave Moody won the table tennis tournament in a thrilling three-game match, and Roy Metcalf, Green, upset Bob Yates to win the badminton title. Golf and tennis matches are being completed in order to determine the individual champions in those sports with the wrestling championships still to be determined. Charles Creech, Jimmy Uhler, George Barry, and Ott Bay are defending their wrest- ling titles of last year a.nd are favorites to repeat, but preseason predictions are doubtful, due to some weighty Freshmen. The other weight divisions are wide open. The primary function of the men's intramural competition is to allow every male member of the school to compete in every form of sports. Lettermen are barred from participation in any activity they have engaged in in intercollegiate play. The women obtained their intramural exercise under the direction of the W.A.A. in lim- ited quantities. However, the Phis, Chis, and Independents carried on a fairly active intra- I mural program in several fields.

HONOR ROLL STUDENTS ALL O be among those on the Dean's Honor Roll is a distinction publicly scorned by some, privately cherished by most. Issued for each semester, as well as the summer session, the Honor Roll usually includes the names of fifty to sixty students. Girls have a tendency to outnumber the boys in scholastic achievement. The composition of the list by classes, fraternities, extra-curricular occupation or residence tends to vary with the years, fraternity men and women, however, tend to out-percentage independents. No particular class of students make the Honor Roll. There are, of course, the students' students. But there are also athletes, musicians, writers, actors, socialites, debaters, campus leaders-yes, a dehnitely and distinctly varied group. Requirements call for better-than-average work. The Honor Roll student at Culver- Stockton must be carrying at least thirteen hours of class work. He must have no grade less than C - C- , and plft!! He's out! In at least half his total hours, his grades must be Aus or B s. Even more exclusive is Hilltop, Culver-Stockton's scholastic honor society. Mem- bership in Hilltop was, until the advent of graduation honors this year, the highest scholastic recognition at Culver-Stockton. For most members, election to the group comes at the end of the senior year, thereby prohibiting a very large membership in college at any one time. Exceptionally outstanding scholars may be elected to member- ship in their junior year. Such is the case of the two student members of Hilltop in the 1940-41 school year. For their signal scholastic achievements, Lillian Leslie and Wayne Simril, both members of the class of '41, were elected to Hilltop in May, 1940. Mrs. Ada W. Roberts and Mr. Claude E. Spencer, members of Culver-Stockton's faculty, are the other two members of Hilltop on the campus now. FRONT ROW.

To further encourage schol- astic effort, the faculty adopted regulations for three levels of graduation honors to go into effect with the graduation of the Class of 1941. The three honors are summa cum laude, magna cum laude, and cum laude. The necessary averages are 2.9, 2.5, and 2.2, out of a possible 3.0 Qfour years of straight AUD, respectively. Sixty-eight Soft lights cmd sweet music . THE 1UN1oR's PROM ATURDAY evening, April 5, the Junior Class presented the Junior Prom in Culver Gym in honor of the Senior Class. This marked the second year that such an event had taken place. Early in the year the committees were appointed so that there would be time enough to fully plan, advertise, and promote the dance. Mary Scott proved to be a very capable general chairman. Under her supervision programs were made by members of the class. Rilla Darnell helped to plan and make these programs. Because of the proximity of the Easter Season, the programs were decorated in harmony with the theme of the holidays. The programs were pastel shades with the figure of an Easter Bunny holding an egg on the front of them. After several weeks of planning and preparatory work, the morning and afternoon of the eventful day was taken up for the members of the Junior Class with the final decorating. An intensive advertising campaign and ticket sale was successful, and soon after the opening number by the orchestra, the gymnasium was lilled with happy dancing couples. The Easter Season brought with it gowns of spring colors which, with the decorations, gave the Prom a gay holiday appearance. Junior Musolino's orchestra proved to be a good selection and their music kept the evening at an entertaining level. The musicians were placed on the west side of the gym and the main decoration formed their background. Large white letters on the stage curtains wished the dancing couples Happy Easter, while a figure in the center previewed the spring fashion of hats in pastel shades and surrealistic design. The rest of the decorations consisted of Easter Bunnies located in prominent places to carry out the Easter theme. Soft lights added color to the dance. President and Mrs. W. H. McDo11ald, Dean and Mrs. L. S. Hopkins, and Professor Stephen B. Williams were chaperons. The rest of the faculty were also invited as guests of the Junior Class. The dance was the social me- dium through which the lower- Gay throng at the Junior Prom classmen could congratulate the Seniors as they are completing their final year at Culver-Stock- ton and wish them success after graduation. It was fitting that this class was honored not only upon the basis of its achieve- ments, but also because it was the first class to present ajunior Prom. The social high spot of the year was swelled to capacity by generous influx of Frosh and Sophs. Sixty-11' Noise their specialty . . . MARCHING WOMEN NUCLEUS OF CHEERS l-llS the third and most successful year since the founding of Culver-Stockton's Pep Squad, firmly established the group as one of the campus' most vital organiza- tions. Sponsored by bald, mild-mannered, Coach I-leringtonn in 1937, the Pep Squad has filled a place in the college's entertainment which is extremely popular with the majority of the student body. Though the forte of the group is betvveen-halves entertainment at all basketball and football games, they have sponsored other activities in- cluding an after-game dance, January 31, following the Central basketball game. The whole group made a trip to Westminster College, January 29, to appear at that basketball game.

AUTHORITIES ON WORLD CONDITIONS RGANIZED to further the study and discussion of international problems. The International Relations Club of Culver-Stockton is affiliated with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and is enabled to main- tain an extensive collection of books and pamphlets re- lating to its sphere of interest through that national organ- ization's generosity. The group's monthly Gnnt,Ho0tman meetings in Culver Hall usually feature a paper and discussions by the members ofthe club. This year, Dr. Charles F. Eichenauer of the Quincy Herald Whig was the guest speaker at the March 5th open meeting. His sub- ject was, The Common Man's Faith In An Upset World . March 28-29, nine members of the I.R.C. were delegates to the eleventh annual Mississippi Valley International Relations Clubs' Conference at Warrensburg.

S ty Student government . . . CLASS REPRESENTATIVES PROVE ACTIVE ET up as a student governing body designed to cooperate with the administration in matters of policy, the Student Senate has before this year been an almost inactive body. The student body has always had just enough interest to elect its representatives to the senate and forget them. Seldom has the senate's inactivity been the result of poor personnel. Though the senate has this year been handicapped by an unstable personnel, it has initiated several new features and has set up plans for future senates to fulfill. Those on the Student Senate at the beginning of the year that had to be replaced after leaving school were Abernethy, Hodgman, and Struckmeyer. The rest of the personal consisted of Stanley Getz, president, Robert Yates, vice-president, Naomi Bueneman, treasurer, Norma Mayfield, secretary, and Chester Clark, Lillian Leslie, Bill Herod, Jack Kober- stine, Darwin Bien, and Art Hendren. A feature of the organization set-up which enabled the senate to function as well as it has the past year was the special fund set up in the business office by the administration. The Student Senate started the school's social season with the first dance of the year on September 21 with Kaiser's band. Since then the senate has conducted an activity calendar for both semesters. Aiming to inform the students and distribute activities, the calendar has listed all social events, chapel speakers, etc. well in advance of their appearance. Ground work for future Student Senates' consideration has been laid in plans for a Freshman-Sophomore Day, the Handbook for Freshmen which is being published this year, a Campus Clean-up Day, and all-school social functions. The Mother's Day Vespers was held by the Student Senate this year on May 11 in- stead of by the Pan Hellenic council. On May 21 a well ordered election of a new student senate took place. At that time Art Hendren assumed the duties of president, Delbert Walker be- came vice-president, Mildred Leslie, Getz, Yates, Mayfield Carroll was elected treasurer, and Helen Tucker was named secre- tary. Alyce Ruth Petska, Naomi Bueneman, Bob Stevens, Bill Allen, and Gilbert Wiehe filled out the quota of student repre- sentatives. The newly elected group has already begun an efficient cam- paign to deal with next years problems. S y I Standing: Bien, Clark, Koberstine, Hendren. Seated: Buenem-111 Women athletes . . .

HE Women's Athletic As- sociation, organization of sport minded coeds, this year proved itself one of the most active extra-curricular groups on the campus. With the promo- tion of women's athletics, crea- tion of a love for sports, and the achievement of the ideal of good sportsmanship as their avowed ideals, W.A.A. engaged in a distinctive program of ac- tivities laid out on these lines. Eligible for membership is any woman student willing to participate in group sports. Letters awarded to members on a point system, the points be- ing earned by participation in various sports. ln order to assure an interested membership, 100 earned points each year are required to maintain a place in the organization. The W.A.A. year opened with the first coeducational swimming party ever held at Culver-Stockton. Other social efforts included a Carnival Evening and a St. Patrick's Day dance. For their own enjoyment, the girls competed in the Carthage College Play day, missing a basketball championship by one point in final play with the Maclvlurray W.A.A. group. April featured a week-end camping trip held near Hamilton, Illinois. Thirteen girls spent the nineteenth and twentieth in cabins on the Scenic Highway where they cooked their meals out, accompanied by burned fingers, rain storms and winds. Basketball, hiking, and teniguoits gave the girls a workout and helped the food consump- tion. The year closed with a Spring banquet at the Canton Grill in honor of the new oflicers and award winners. The officers for the past year were: President, Betty Thomann, Vice-President, Marjorie Cook, Secretary, Genevieve lVlcClain, Treasurer, Marjorie Barclay, and Historian, Rilla Darnell. The W.A.A. works out-doors Seventy-four Editorial board runs paper . . . UNIQUE ARRANGEMENT SUCCESSFUL HE Megaphone has been unique this year in that, during most of the nrst semester, and all of the second semester, the editorial department was directed by an edi- torial board instead of a single editor-in-chief. When Editor Russell Abernethy dropped out of college in November, the Megaphone was taken over by an editorial board consisting of Don Roberts, 1939-40 editor-in-chief, Wayne Simril, 1939-40 associate editor, and Phil Allen, 1940 sports editor. Successful in pub- lishing the paper under this arrangement for agree on a Megaphone layout as Richardson the rest of the fall term, the board was author- ized to continue its direction of the Megaphone for the remainder of the school year. Business Manager Bob Ownby served capably in that position for the entire year. Other members of the editorial stall' were Margaret Brown, social editor, Don Hendry, sports editor, Naomi Bueneman, Maisie Ann Creech, Anne Henry, Katherine Huston, Vervia Probst, Reba Richardson, Virginia Witty, Jimmy Yager, Dick Evans, Vernon Redpath, and Nancy Leslie, reporters. Jean Butler, George Hendry, Don Roberts and Mary Scott have consistently brightened the paper with special columns, while Connie Crist has contributed a number of clever feature stories. Ownby's business department assistants included Bill Schleigarth, advertising manager, Mary Wehrmann and Don Carline, advertising assistants, Ailene Casteel, circulation manager, and Virginia Frazee, Doris Swearengen, and Elaine Lowe, circula- tion assistants. The Megaphone's primary aim has been to cover completely and objectively campus events, to present the unique Hendry Simr'l, Ownl y, Swear -ngen, G. Hendry, Leslie.

PI KAPPA DELTANS TRAVELED 4,000 MILES ULVER-STOCKTON ofiicially opened it's debate season with the participation of two Freshman teams in the lowa University tournament. lt seemed that the C-S debaters, lacking experience, and encountering trouble with an athletic union , were soundly drubbed. After hours of painstaking labor to de- velope an unbeatable case, the varsity de- baters swung into action at the Kirksville State Teachers tournament. Culver-Stockton I-Ierod talking over their Case emerged with one victory, and the unbeat- able case found its way into the waste basket. ' The next tournament attended was sponsored by lllinois Normal College. From this battle of words, Pauly and Allard in the Championship bracket, emerged speechless with live losses and one victory. Bay and Day in the Junior Varsity division, reversed things with five victories and one loss. Culver-Stockton is definitely on the map in the field of forensics as evidenced by the number of teams wishing to visit the campus. Some of these teams were from such schools as Loyola University of New Orleans, Washington University, Kansas State, and many others. Came 'AThe Trip -Professor Crink was an avowed skeptic, relative to winning debates, when on the morning of March 3, he departed on a twenty day jaunt through the south. Proceeding into the unknown with Prof Crink were two seasoned debaters, Bill Herod and Vincent Pauly, and a fledgling, one Howard Rosenthal. The first stop was a non-decision clash with the old rivals of K.S.T.C., and then another with Central College. The itinerary for the next nineteen days reads like that of a modern Gulliver. Starting the second day out against Kansas City University and on into the first week meeting Ottawa University, Kansas State, Emporia State Teachers, Wichita Uni- versity, and. Southwestern of Kansas, the C-S debaters handed Prof Crink a pleasant surprise by winning eight straight. Entering Oklahoma, the verbal combatants met their first defeat at the hands of the Northwestern Teachers of Alva. lndignant at seeing their glittering record marred, the C-S debaters twice took the measure of Phillips University. Here too, the C-S debaters donned robes of ecclesiastical dignity and participated in a round table discussion on The Place Of The Church In War before an audience of three hundred University students. The second week was off to a poor start when two lovelies from The Oklahoma College for Women mixed feminine pulchritude and debating skill to gain a victory over the team of Pauly and Rosenthal. Vagabonds Pauly, Rosenthal, Prof. Crink, and S y Streaking on through Oklahoma and Texas, meeting and defeating Oklahoma Uni- versity, East Central State Teachers, Southwestern State Teachers, Oklahoma Baptist, North Texas State Teachers, Southern Methodist, Texas Christian, Baylor, Sam Houston, and Rice, the Wildcat'debaters came to a well deserved week end of rest on Galveston lsland in the Gulf of Mexico. Putting behind memories of a full moon playing its magic upon Gulf waves, and accompanied by soft music while dancing with Southern Belles , the C-S debaters once more took to the road, and some serious debating. Entering the Evangeline Country, Southwestern Louisiana Institute fell under the axe as well as Loyola of New Orleans. On to victory over Louisiana State Normal, and victory at Centenary the C-S debaters started homeward. ln Arkansas, Henderson, then Hendrix proved inadequate to stem the flow of facts, accompanied by logical reasoning, being emitted from the mouths of the homeward bound C-S debaters. Arriving in Canton, on the evening of March 22, the debating representatives of Culver-Stockton College had traveled approximately 4,000 miles, engaged in thirty-one debates, and emerged winner in a total of twenty-six of the contests. Culver-Stockton's chapter of Pi Kappa Delta, and the speech department were hosts to the 1941 Missouri State Tournament for high schools of the National Forensic League. Bill Herod represented Pi Kappa Delta at the state Peace Oratorical contest, where Willums received third place in the final ranking. Bill Herod and Vincent Pauly traveled to Excelsior Springs Missouri to enter the Pi Kappa Delta Province Tournament held March 27, 28, 29. Meeting the best com- petition offered by Missouri and Iowa teams, the representatives of C-S emerged from the final round with four wins, and three losses. The team also received a Judges rank- ing of Excellent. Membership in Pi Kappa Delta is granted to those students meeting dehnite quali- fications as established by Pi Kappa Delta, national honorary forensic fraternity. Robert L.

Seventy-seven Class of 1942 . HE Juniors, that maturing class of world-wearying individuals who are nearing the end of their sojourn in this institution, considered educational by the optimistic. These blase souls are just too, too, bored with it all: Coke dates, walks on the campus, and one movie a week-end, they study, however, with a purpose which has been lying dormant until this year when the realization burst upon their subconscious that they had only one more year before they were to be thrust upon a cold, unfriendly world with a diploma and what knowledge they might have gleaned from four years of college, to make a place for themselves in that world. Bill Herod stayed up with Roosevelt by winning his third straight class presidency when the Juniors decided to stick to their former administration head but the rest of the oHicerships were turned over to Doris Nelson, Charles Wilson, and Mary Scott. Nelson became the vice-president, Wilson the secretary, and Scott the treasurer of the class. Despite these sudden, unhappy qualms about the future, the class of '42 has Done itself proud this year in every known form of extra curricular activities. For instance in football, the championship team numbered Art I-lendren, burly all-conference fullback, Clyde Flaugh, another all-conference selection at a tackle post, and second-team all- conference end Hobart Phillips among its numbers. On the hardwood floor Dale Love, fleetfooted all-conference guard who quarterbacked the squad and Art Hendren, who captained the all-conference basket ball team besides being an all-state selection, per- formed. In track it was Art Hendren Cyes, againD who picked up numerous points in the field events, Dale Love, broad-jumper, sprinter, and relay mannlohnnyjohnson, who paced Margaret Brown Naomi Bueneman Ann Burrows Don Carline Seventy-eight Rilla Darnell Mark Gannon Mildred Gant Rhoda Hagar Clyde Heckrodt Bill Herod Horace Hughes John C. Johnson John McDonald off the mile and two mile events, and Jack Morris, discuss ace and high-hurdler. On the golf links it was Hobart Phillips and Glen Petry who distinguished themselves with long drives, unerring approach shots, and 20 foot putts. Two junior girls starred in the stage presentations of the Kleig players during the past year. Doris Nelson and Mary Scott shared co-starring leads in the Homecoming production of The Hill Between. In Culver-Stocktorfs musical world the Juniors were exceptionally active. The a Capella choir and the band boosted the two most featured soloists of the year, Rhoda Hager, clear-voiced soprano, and Rilla Darnell, accomplished violinist, earned the ap- plause of every audience they met on the spring choir trip to St. Louis. The band and orchestra had Juniors Jack Morris, Agnew Hils, George Stukenbroker, Johnny John- son, Alice Ruth Petska, Rilla Darnell, and Betty Schwartz. The string quartett, which proved most popular during the 1940-'41 concert season had three juniors occupying three of the four chairs. They were the familiar Rilla Darnell, Alice Petska, and Betty Schwartz. The choir's notable success in its many concert appearances in the Spring besides its S nty--ni-ne fine performances at Christmas, which featured the Messiah, and at Easter, when the Seven Last Words was presented was due to the effectiveness of a number of juniors, namely, Ann Burrows, Doris Nelson, Naomi Bueneman, Alice Ruth Petska, Rilla Dar- nell, Mary Scott, Don Carline, Delbert Walker, Jim Uhler, and Bill Herod. Both sororities elected Juniors to the responsible positions of presidents. The musically inclined Alice Ruth Petska became the head of Chi Omega, and the cheer-leader Margaret Brown was chosen Phi Kappa prexy. In the field of debate there was only one representative, Bill Herod, but he more than proved his worth in the 4000 mile debate trip and at the Pi Kappa Delta province convention at Excelsior Springs. The Juniors also figured prominently on main student governing bodies of Culver- Stockton. In the Pan-Hellenic Council Betty Schwartz and Alice Ruth Petska were in- cluded, on the Culver Hall House Council was the now very familiar Betty Schwartz while the Junior representatives on the Student Senate were Naomi Bueneman, Bill Herod and Art Hendren, who is the 1941-'42 President elect. In the field of publications were found Margaret Brown, social editor of the Mega- phone , Mary Scott, columnist on the same paper, Robert Ownby, the business manager, Bill Schleiffarth, advertising manager, and Don Carline, assistant advertising manager. Betty Schwartz was editor of the Bluffs . On the Milestones staff were assistant editor Bill Herod and advertising manager Delbert Walker, besides Naomi Bueneman, who was on the photography staff.

Jimmy Wilson ranked fifth in singles play last year, is better as a doubles player but his Kneelinggwilson, Bien improved ground strokes made him a reputable singles player, only losing one match this year. T Don Hendry, letterman from last year, has won six matches and lost one. He plays second doubles with Wayne Acord. Darwin Bien, best prospect this year, has won three matches, against no losses. Wayne Acord, a good doubles man, playing with Don Hendry, has been undefeated this season. This fall the squad played four full matches against the Quincy and Hannibal clubs, winning all four of them. In singles, George Hendry, Jimmy Wilson and Don Hendry were undefeated. Darwin Bien had two wins and two losses. Against Central in their initial spring match the Wild- cats were victorious to the tune of 6-O. The squad was leading If the St. Louis netsters two matches to none and winning X-jf in their other two singles matches when rain halted play. Their only set back this season is credited to the Washington University at the Bears field house 4-2. George Hendry won his singles match and with Wilson scored another victory. The squad on this trip stopped at Concordia Seminary and made a clean sweep, 7-O. Acord was playing fifth singles. In the first home match, the Wildcat netsters swamped the Iowa Wesleyan squad, undefeated and winner of their con- ference last year, 6-O. Then playing Concordia here, the C-S squad again shut out their opponents, 6-O. The remaining scheduled matches are two tilts with Carthage, and two more with Macomb, and a .match with Central. Then ending the season on May 16-17, with the M.C.A.U. conference battle at Fayette. Standing: G. Hendry, D. Henry, Acord Captain George Hendry E gh. Class 11D . . . CULVERfSTOC'KTON'S CONSCRIPTS E are the chosen, the elect. We are twenty-one, most of us, at least. Some of us are older. The word thirty-five is in the distant future. So our age makes us the cream of the mili- tary crop. We are the prospective draftees of Culver-Stockton college. We weren't surprised last summer when the Burke-Wadsworth bill was passed, for the nation favored peacetime military conscription. Nor did we raise Bay registers for the draft a fuss about a proposed year in the army. America was not at war. For us, there was no immediate prospect of death or injury on the battlefield. We understood that we would be allowed to finish the school year. As far as we could determine, there is nothing objectionable about a year of army life, in fact, we decided that it would be a good thing for our group as a whole. Finally, being realistic, we realized that it is an uncertain world in which we live. We had no way of telling what the future heldfor us. But if military action became necessary to protect our country, we wanted to be ready. We weren't subjected to a lot of flag-waving, band-playing sentiment. Gur attitude was the result of quiet, calm, deliberate consideration. We were ready. In such a frame of mind, we gathered at Canton's city hall early on the cool, sunny morning of October 16, 1940, to register for peacetime military service. More than thirty-five of us were registered during the day, spending some fifteen to twenty minutes in filling out cards. Who were we? Company, attention-Roll Call!

TRACK TEAM BETTER THAN USUAL N a track season not yet completed at the time of this writing, but having met its climax, justifies an optomistic outlook for the Culver cinder men. Paced by Captain Chuck Larson, veteran all-around ace, the Wildcat thin-clads loomed as a conference threat for the first time in the history of M.C.A.U. track. Besides Larson, the team is composed of Bernard Booty Cline, versatile trackster, who runs any distance well, Lovell Kroeneke, husky freshmen sprint star, Art Hendren, Wildcat number one weight man, his brother, Dale Hendren, shotputter, Burl Nader, another weight tosser, the Bash brothers, Bud and Babe , who shine in the mile and two-mile runs, Johnny Johnson, veteran distance runner, Fighter George Shouse, who combines heart and legs to pick up points in the half, Dale Love, sprinter, Bud Euster, pole vaulter and low-hurdler, Bob Downs, high-hurdler, Delbert Findley, polevaulter, and Jack Morris, who participates in the discus and the high hurdles. Culver-Stockton's track men opened their 1941 campaign by clipping the Central Eagles wings 85 to 42, Monday, April 7, on the Central track. Larson, with firsts in the hundred yard dash, 120-yard high hurdles, 220-yard low hurdles, and the high jump, besides taking seconds in the shotput and broad-jump, a third in the javelin, and running on the winning relay team, easily took scoring honors with 28M points. His second place in the broad jumps and his third in the javelin throw broke the school's all-time records. The Wildcats had a total of ten first places to Central's five. Cline won the 440-yard dash, A. I-lendren was first in the shot- put, Morris first in the discus, and Kroencke captured first in the 220-yard dash. Friday and Saturday, April 18 and 19, Coach Scott took Larson, Love, Cline, and Kroencke to Lawrence, Kansas, and entered- them in the special college sprint medley relay in which they captured fourth place. In the annual Missouri Valley A.A.U. decathlon competition, held in connection with the Kansas Relays, Larson replaced E. Lee Todd as the decathlon champion and Kroencke finished fifth in a Held of champions. I Larson won national recognition as a track ol' . . . . .

Monday April 21, the track- sters journeyed to Carthage Col- lege, and met the east side thin- clads in a track meet. The Wild- cats lost the meet, 72 and 2X3 to 58 and 1!3, due mostly to the fact that Larson pulled a leg muscle early in the afternoon. The next contest was at Prin- cipia College onWednesday April 23, where the Wildcats regained their winning ways, triumping 84 and 2-3 to 46 and 1-3. Culver rang up eight first places to Principias six, took thirteen very important second places to Principias single- ton, and amassed six third place points against Principias seven. Johnson and the Bash brothers swept the mile and two-mile runs for the only grand slams of the afternoon. johnson, Babe Bash, and Bud Bash finishing in that order in the two-mile, While the mile was covered by Bud Bash, Johnson, and Babe Bash respectively. Larson and Art Hendren finished one-two in the shot put as did Kroencke and Love in the 100 and 220-yard dashes. Kronecke also won the discus with Morris a close second. Cline won the 440-yard and finished second behind Shouse in the half-mile event. The Wildcats picked up seconds or thirds in the other events. The Drake Relays on April 24 and 25, a duel meet with Western State Teachers of Illinois on May 2, and the M.C.A.U. conference meet at Fayette on May 16 completed the 1941 track season. Larson broke the all-time Culver-Stockton record in the broad jump with a leap of 21 feet 5M inches, topping by M inch the record set last year by former team mate Don Anderson. His javelin toss soared 173 feet 8 inches to break the 170 feet 5 inch record set by Art Stout in 1931. Both feats were accomplished at the Culver-Stockton- Central duel meet on April 7. Crack Wildcat relay team: Love, Larson, Kroencke, Cline D. Bash Johnson E. Bash Shouse Eighty-nirl-C Golfers best in years . . . LINKMEN EXHIBIT GOOD FORM HE golf team composed of Captain Chet Clark, first man, Dave Moody, second man, Hob Phillips, third man, and Phil Allen, fourth man, has shown better form than those of previous years. The outstanding player in these first matches has been Phil Allen, who has won two of his three matches, bowing only to Central. . Captain Chet Clark fell short of his previous form, finishing third in the conference. He was the only C-S man to letter last year. Chet lost his first match in four years of inter-collegiate play at the Central meet. Dave Moody, Freshman, ranking St. Louis district junior golfer is the most promising player of the year. Hob Phillips, junior, won his match against Prin- cipia, and lost to Central and Kirksville Osteopaths. He was lntermural Champion in 1939. Bob Stevens, the team's alternate has not as yet had a chance to demonstrate his ability. In the first match of the season against Central at Fayette, Dave Moody, saved his teammates from a shut out, by gaining a M4 point, the Eagles winning HM to M. At Principia, Phil Allen won three points, Hob Phillips, came through for three points and Dave Moody secured one point to give the Wildcats a 7-5 victory. The Wildcat golfers gave the next match to the Kirksville Osteopaths. Phil Allen secured the only Wildcat points, while the Osteopaths pulled down 95. Thus the final score was 9M-ZM. Moody, Clark. Phillips, Stevens In a return match with Central, April 30, so to here, the C-S club swinging quartet defeated their opponents, 6V2 to SM. Moody shot a low score of 68 and chalked up 2 points. Phillips scored 3 points and Allen lk points. At Macomb, the squad lost, 8M to 3M, on May 2, Moody gaining 3 points and Captain Clark M point. Clark's 77 was low for the Culver men. The Osteopaths again won over Culver, May 9, 623 to SV, Moody got 2 points, Allen Zh, and Clark 1, On May 12 Macomb was played here before the local squad closed the season at the M.C.A.U. tourney.

TEARBOOK COMPOSITION PROVES fro BE HEADAOHE ECTIC days and sleepless nights, frazzled nerves and endless confer- ences, words of encouragement and threat- ening words, griping and pleading, dead- lines missed and copy lost. Nothing seemed to go right but gradually the book took shape and the dummy went to the printer, the covers were ordered and the engraver received his last nasty letter. Things perked up and at last the book did come out. The staff constantly underwent a Change throughout most of the year, the faithful few winding up the year by emit- ting a sigh of genuine relief. The pressure was off and the job was done. Ott Bay, senior, assistant editor of last year, directed operations as editor-in-chief from any place he happened to be, to his crew of compositors, photographers, and writers, with the capable assistance of Glenn Schlager, business manager, who in turn was helped by Delbert Walker, advertising manager, and an advertising staff composed of Vernon Redpath, Don Anderson, and Frank Schuster. Assisting Bay with the editorial management of the book were Bill Herod, assistant editor, and Vincent Pauley, managing editor. Don Roberts, Wayne Simril, and Connie Crist took care of the vast majority of the literary work. Norman Barger, organizations editor, lost five pounds, but little sleep, collecting and cataloging data of the various groups for the literary staff.

THOSE STUDENTS WHO EARNED SPECIAL MENTION ROM September to June, its been a busy year and an A W eventful year at Culver-Stockton. Success crowned the efforts of the Wildcat's athletic teams, debate squad, dramatic presentations, choir, and every other scholastic and extra-curricular activity. To those persons who gained national distinction by participation in extra-curricular activities the Milestones pays special tribute: I To Chuck Larson, ace gridiron performer and track star. Larson's long range booting and brilliant ball- carrying earned him a berth on numerous little All- American teams, the captaincy of the M.C.A.U. all- conference eleven, and a half-back position in the All- American Swedish team, In addition he won the Missouri Valley A.A.U. decathlon championship at the Kansas Relays as he captained the track squad to their most successful season. Chuck Larson To Big Art Hendren, three sports Junior star. I-Iendren called signals from the full-back spot for the football squad and gained all-conference honors for the third straight year. He was the M.C.A.U. number one basketeer, captaining the all-conference team, and was on all-State selection at center. He also earned his third letter in track as his tosses in weights and high-iumping picked up valuable points, To the Hendry brothers, George and Don, who won the National Inter-collegiate Table Tennis title. George, who has never been defeated in two years George and Don Hendry . . . . Pauly, Rosenthal, Prof Crink and Herod of National competition, won the singles crown and Don was runnerup. Then the two teamed to win the doubles championship. To Vincent Pauly, Bill Herod, and How- ard Rosenthal, who traveled four thousand miles through the South and Middle West debating thirty-one colleges and universi- ties and talking themselves into twenty-six decisions. And to the entire student body who co- operated directly or indirectly to the success of every venture. Ninety-tivo The year in retrospect . . . EACULTT MEMBERS wno EARNED SPECIAL MENTION 'xi Pres. McDonald Coach Scott I-IE year was perfect-Winning became a habit, champions abounded, the school enjoyed a Midas' touch of a success whenever it entered any activity, but the college men and women who made their mark as champions or notables needed guidance. To those men who led and directed the successful activities the Mile- stones affords special recognition: To President McDonald. In his hands the school reached the highest pinnacle of fame. Never before had it attained such glory. It is doubtful if it will ever repeat. The head man of the leaders deserves the star's place in the spotlight. To Scotty , pigskin mentor, who led the C-S football aggregation to its first clear-cut gridiron title. The little giant also turned out the school's first national track champion. Wildcat athletes will miss him next year. To Fred Krueger, who oversavv the National Inter- collegiate Table Tennis Tournament and sent his team out to capture the championship. The gay Homecoming was also due to his efforts. To basketball coach Bill I-Ierington, who lead his cohorts to an M.C.A.U. crown and then sent them into a position of national importance due to their play in the Intercollegiate games at Kansas City. To Prof. Cedric Crink, cigar-smoking debate coach, who took his squad on the 4,000 mile trip that further spread C-S fame in the argumentative World, plus an excellent rating at the Province Convention. Mr. Krueger Ninety-three Coach Herington Prof. Crink George Barry Class of 1941 . . GROUP of pensive, melancholy individuals who par- ticipate in each campus activity with the sober thought that, this will be the very Last time I'll ever dance in this gym, the Last time l'l1 ever watch football from this grand- stand, the Last time l'll ever see a play presented on this stage, etc., as a student of Culver-Stockton . Such an ex- ceedingly gloomy attitude but all Seniors seem to be sat- urated with gloom. One would think that they would be tingling with anticipation of the day when they would no longer be students but men and women of the world. Of course there is a little matter of finding a place for them- selves in that world and perhaps that is the very factor that creates the gloom. However, making the most of their last year, the grad- uating class has been prominent in all campus functions, including scholarship, a fact which is evidenced by the first semester Dean's Honor Roll which included Abbott Book, Alfred Brown, Maribeth Knight, Lillian Leslie, Roath Meatheringham, Genevieve McClain, Vincent Pauly, Dor- othy Porter, Elgie Posey, Don Roberts, GlenniSchlager, Wayne Simril, and Betty Thomann. Excluding scholarship, the class was still outstanding, counting two members of the editorial board of the Mega- phone, Wayne Simril and Don Roberts, as members of this class. The Bluffs was honored by four Senior contributers, Knight, Larson, Roberts and Simril while the Milestone editor, Oscar Bay, Oscar Bay, Jr. - - - Abbott Book the managing editor, Vincent Pauly, and A red Brown Jane Bunning Chester Clark it 5: Q: fi Ninety-four Bernard Cline Fred Freise ' Stanley Getz Hubert Hohn in Mary I-Iootman - 5 Virginia Kirby V members of the Business Staff and Advertising Staff, Glenn Schlager and Frank Schuster are all of the class of '41, Two of the prize-winning plays that were presented this spring by the members of the Play Production class, were written by Dorothy Porter and Oscar Bay, proving, without a doubt, that the class is dramatically inclined. And then as if that were not proof enough, Don Roberts was Treasurer of the Klieg Players and also a member of the cast of What a Life and The Hill Between . He is the only well known actor on the hill who has been definitely typed . Don was always the detective! Next year murder mysteries will have to be excluded from consideration as plays for Culver- Stockton, because after all what is a murder mystery without a detective? Popping up again for recognition are Vincent Pauly and Oscar Bay, who were out- standing debaters this year, in fact Vincent was chosen as a member of the team to go on tour this last spring. The International Relations club was positively monopolized this year by Seniors. Frank Schuster presided and Betty Thomann was Vice-President and Don Roberts, Sec- retary-Treasurer. It is evident that this class is intensely interested and well informed about the current events of the world today. In accordance, the world today is also now well informed on the graduating class of Culver-Stockton, due to the Collegiate Who's Who. This venerable publication has condescended to mention from this class, Stanley Getz, Maribeth Knight, Charles Lar- son, Lillian Leslie, Don Roberts, and Wayne Simril. At homecoming the queen was ably attended by Mildred Neal Lloyd, Senior. Pan-Hellenic council was honored by the presence of three Seniors in the oflices of Ninety-five Maribeth Knight President, Secretary, and Treasurer which were filled by Roath Meatheringham, Stanley Getz, and Lillian Leslie, respectively. At Wood Hall, Fred Preise headed the House Council, watching over all the inmates of that particular dormitory, While Charles Larson, as Vice-President assisted him in the various and sundry duties which are all part of such an oflice. Maribeth Knight doled out black marks, minor and major campuses with all the ceremony and dignity that such duties occassioned, as president of the House Council of Culver Hall, dormitory for Women on the campus of Culver-Stockton. These unpleasant duties were performed with help of Lillian Leslie and Virginia Kirby, Senior representatives. The Mirlisterial Association was headed by a Senior Robert Yates and included James Uhler as a Senior member. That awe inspiring federation, the Board of Student Publications was practically exclusively controlled by the graduating class. The President was Chester Clark, Senior, the Vice-President Was Oscar Bay, Senior, and the Secretary- Treasurer was Don Roberts, Senior. I think you will see the point! Nine Seniors aided the a capella choir while four others engaged themselves with the band and orchestra. jane Bunning, Dorothy Porter, Virginia Kirby and Mary Hootman enlarged the soprano and alto sections While Stanley Getz, Hubert Hohn, Ch 1 L . . at es ation Vincent Pauly, Keith Whan and Bob Lillian Leslie Joe Lewis Helen Lillard Mildred Lloyd gifs wif W5 W ' 7' Tim, as ,L 1 ' get rw vm if Z T V ng., N ll- ga in ' 1 ,,' ' Esc, H l N, as L Lat: K E , af .1 -as ,maxi Y A - ,vw Class Ninety'six R.

Hubert l-lohn proved an able soloist performing regularly before receptive audiences. Charles Wakefield, Glenn Schlager, Virginia Kirby and Stanley Getz donned band uniforms and supplied appropriate music to the organizations successful season. Charles Larson, pride and joy of Culver-Stockton is one of the nation's outstanding all-around athletes. Chosen to play on the Missouri All-Star Football team last fall when they played against the Kansas All-Stars and won. He is a member of Colson's Swedish All-American team due to the combination of his nationality and his ability. This spring Chuck won the Missouri Valley A.A.U. Decathelon championship in con- junction with the Kansas Relays which he attended with the Culver-Stockton track team. Next September, Charles stands a good chance to play in the All-Star game at Soldier's Field in Chicago. Elgie Posey is another C-S favorite. He was the captain of two championship teams this last year, football and basketball. Posey was all-conference in both sports. For the first time in Culver-Stockton's athletic history, a special C-S blanket was presented to Elgie Posey, as outstanding Culver-Stockton athlete. This blanket was in recognition of his four letters in two sports-football and basketball, co-captaincy and all-con- ference rating in both sports. Other Seniors who were outstanding on the gridiron were George Barry, another all-conference selection at guard and a candidate for all-state honors, who also dis- 2 of 41 Ninety-seven tinguished himself in the all-star game at Kansas City, Fred Preise, still another all-conference back, who served in the capacity of blocking-back and number one Wildcat aerial threatg Ott Bay, the squad's smallest man, who played an important role as a utility back and specialized in place- kicking, and Vincent Pauly, versatile utility man Who filled in at the fullback, center, tackle and Wingback slots with equal dexterity. The M.C.A.U. basketball champions were led by co- captain Chet Clark besides the above mentioned Posey. Clark, who smoothly handled his guard post in the com- plicated C-S court system, gained honorable mention on the all-conference selections. The track team was further bolstered by the Senior speed merchant, Bernard Cline, who collaborated with Larson in posting up the majority of first places. Cline captained the cinder squad in his Junior year. He exhibited versatility by running in both hurdle races, the dashes, the quarter and half-mile besides high jumping and broad jumping. The lone Senior golfer was captain Chet Clark Whose straight, far drives, unerring approaches and steady putting made him the third best conference links performer last year. Betty Thomann, Senior, was the president of the W.A.A. and Genevieve McClain was the Secretary. While the Senior Pep Squad officers were Mildred Lloyd and Dorothy French who held the offices of President and Elgw Posey Vice-President, respectively.

This day of revelry and fun is a deep dark secret to all except those high and mighty Seniors, Whose duty it is to plan and arrange the day. As a rule the day is dark and cloudy and sometimes rainy. In fact it has been so for so long that it is practically part of the tradition. However, it is still fun. The Dean turns Chef and fries fish for the entire student body in some secluded picnic spot that is found and kept secret by the graduating class. Everyone plays ball and tag and acts like a group of infants in general- but that's Flunk Day , The Seniors have their last fling and then soon after comes commencement and they leave Culver-Stockton for a more difficult, more matured life, as College Graduates succeeding in America.
