' SS DEDICATION Any transplanting is a difficult tosk and to the Hudsons who come to Illinois College and connpetently assumed the arduous duties as first family of the campus, we respectfully dedicate this volume of the 1938 Rig. ELLIOTT HOUSE v ' RUSSELL HOUSE GARDEN Left: N CRAMPTON HALL . . i M. cniatLiUtt GERALD UNDERBRINK May 10, 1918— November 25, 1937 We pause to pay our respects to one whose presence on the campus lent a cheery note to our college atmosphere. Jerry ' s untimely death last winter saddened the hearts of those who knew him as a speaking acquaintance, as well as the many who were his intimate friends. He was active on the hill, being a member of the Glee Club and the Octette. But, more important, he had that type of winning personality which draws only friendly affection and sympothetic understanding. May he know that we miss him. May he rest in peace. ADMINISTRATION and CLASSES HARRIS GARY HUDSON, M.A., Ph.D. President A.B., James Mlllikin; M.A., Oxford; Ph.D., Chicogo President, 1937 To the Students of Illinois College: Another splendid year in the history of our College is coming to an end.

We sit and we listen to the chatter, chatter, chatter Of our various instructors upon educative matter That, emerging from the doorways in a sort of ceaseless humming, Runs in together in on incoherent Chatter; And the silence of the hallwoys, at the coming of the latter, Slips behind the echos and a flatter kind of drumming. We sit and we listen to the clatter that is coming From the teachers, and the echos and the humming, And the drumming. Of the latter;— And we think ... (as they say) ... or, we dream . . . far away . . . Crispy and brown is the campus in Foil, And white in December, remember? It spreads its spring blanket of green over all. To slumber from June to September. To slumber ... to slumber, the campus — so green, So dreamily lonesome ' til autumn; and then It lifts its fair eyelids, still drowsy, serene, For laughter and joy and living ogam. It awokens for you, yet I ' ll see it in sleep; hleor it softly inhale the sweet scented breeze. Once, twice, it will stir to a memory deep, And a whispering murmur will pass through the trees. Then, one day you ' ll come back, and a shivering shock Through the campus will course, I have seen it before. And suddenly all (except Sturtevont ' s clock) Will be smoothly and actively running once more. And once again we ' ll sit and we ' ll listen to the chatter Of our various instructors upon educative matter. And once again the hallways, with the some incessant humming. Will echo to the classrooms whence the ceaseless clatter ' s coming; And once again we ' ll dream . . . and our thoughts will drift anew To tomorrow . . . (and tomorrow we will still be dreaming too). BILL CLARK. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY FIRST SEMESTER OFFICERS JETT SUNDERLAND . MELVIN GIBBEL HELEN REHAK . President Vice President, . Secretary Treasurer. . SECOND SEMESTER OFFICERS ANTHONY DONAT ROGER PROSISE . . HARRIET CORDELL MARY PINKERTON The class of 1938 entered Illinois College one hundred and sixty strong, comprising the largest class in the history of the college prior to 1934. Though their number has dwindled In the lost four years, they can be proud of the record mointoined by the class as a unit and by out- ' standing individuals among its members. Early in their careers the men of this class became distinguished for their athletic skills. Not a few of them are stars and have been awarded varsity captaincies. Women athletes among the seniors have performed creditably also. Versatility is one of the striking features of the 1938 senior class of Illinois. Debaters, athletes, scholars and socially efficient persons among them have contributed in bringing laurels to Old Illinois. One member of the class, Charles Lockhort, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in his junior year. The members of this class who are about to leave the campus look upon it as their home for four years. hHere they did their first real democratic living; here they began developing their deepest interests as tools for life; here they struggled against, and, in o large measure, solved the problems which all youth must meet; here they played and laughed and matured and now as they leave this place they find that its power has deeply affected every one of them.

Vice President Secretary Treasurer SECOND SEMESTER OFFICERS GAIL McWARD CECIL FLETCHER NOIMA DENNY FRANK KALTEUX In the fall of 1936 there came to Illinois College a group of fresh- men, some dumber than others. They were well initioted into college life during hlomecoming Week, which they survived without many scratches. By that time, the members of the freshman class had become individuols, whose early participation in all college activities showed that they were a promising class. The class hod several outstanding members. Bob F ' oy end Ed Johnston were on the team that won the Faculty-Debate Trophy. Earl Brown in his freshman year took the lead in a Dramatic Club ploy, and several members of the class were already showing fine promise as athletes. In the sophomore year, hoving thrown off the lowly title of freshmen, the class of 1939 was in its glory, for it now had the upper hand over the freshmen. The members of the class were entering with new confidence and dignity into the affairs of the college. Under the direction of J. P. Smith, they held a successful dance, the Sophomore Cotillion. Several sophomore men gained much recognition for themselves in othletics: Herb Scheffler, Cecil Fletcher, hlartong, Lambert, McWard, Ballard, Zupisch, Corrigon, Kalteux, Timke, Bulthordt, Lorenz, Norton Foster and Guthrie Jonssen were co-editors of the Rig in their sophomore year. Lost fall the class of 1939 came back to accomplish more than it ever had before. The Junior Prom was a big success, with Doris Scheffler as Prom Queen, and Dorothy Belcher, Ruth Kilton, Eleanor Baker, ond Marion Wright as attendants. Harry Story was chairman of the prom. Also outstanding were Julian Rommelkomp and Bob Fay who were oppointed editors of the 1939 Rambler. We wis h the class of 1939 all the success in the world in its senior year!

WILSON RUFUS BROWNING President Vice President Secretary Treasurer SECOND SEMESTER OFFICERS , ELMER LUKEMAN JOHN BELATTI OLLIE NANCE TED RAMMELKAMP The sophomore class is proud of i+s repufotion of being the most outstanding and cooperative group on the campus. This honor has been realized by the undivided attention and assistance offered the class by its sponsor, Dr. hlons Rosenberg, and by the officers the class has selected OS its representatives. For the past two years o brotherly attitude has existed among the sophomores which reflects true friendship and mokes oil class endeavors possible and successful. One sod event occurred when a member of the group was lost. Gerald Underbrink, o typicol sophomore characterized by his friendliness and general activity, met death in on accidental and tragic manner, which brought sorrow to the whole college. Being typical and active collegiotes the sophomores enter into the realm of enjoyment with whole-hearted interest. This year they sow one of their members, Raymond Sarge Bortels, elected to the office oF campus mayor, and rule the ccmpus from the President ' s office for one doy following the mock election. The social events culminated with the Sophomore Stomp, o dance which future sophomore classes intend to sponsor as on annual event. This brilliant affair was monaged wholly by sophomores and carried out with great enthusiasm. These two years hove made the doss of ' 40 an outstanding one and if success and cooperation continue, it will go down with other famous classes held so dear to the old college on the hill where tradition reigns. j cr? ipr. f- ' i 1 s SOPHOMORES f ' t.

SECOND SEMESTER OFFICERS BILL SULLIVAN BUD BLACK . . ROWE SAMUELL GORDON REINERS In September, the freshman class, 140 in number, were introduced to Illinois College. The first few days before the return of the upper- classmen were given over to orientation. The All-College Mixer provided an excellent means for us to meet the faculty members and admin- istration. Soon we were engulfed in a maze of studies, porties, dances and studies. Extra-curricular activities rapidly assumed an important place in our college life. A sizeable squad reported to coach Roy Smith for freshman football. The teom displayed promise of var sity materiol in their two conference tilts, a 1 3 to loss to o strong Wesleyan eleven and o 6 to triumph over a formidable Millikin aggregation. A large number of candidates also turned out for freshman basketball and a full season ' s schedule confirmed the rumors that several up-and-comers were in the offing. Two of our classmates, Marvin Buttenob and Virgil Isringhausen, found regular berths on the varsity boseball team while several others helped create a new ero in track at Illinois College. An unusually large number of our group competed for the George Gridley Wood prize in freshman debate. After months, of careful preparation the final awards were given to Anthony Scariono, Bill Sullivan and Charles Manoogion. The girls ' literary society. Alpha Pi Eto, this year proved far more octive than any of its predecessors. Solly Froley was elected president for the first semester and Juanito Schroeder was chosen to head the group for the second term. In the field of dramatics we also played a major role. Among those prominent in the cast of the second-semester ploy, The Night of January r6th, were Doris Powell, Paul Mattson, Doris Broehl, Pari Zio-Wolrath and Charles Manoogion. ATter two weeks of hectic compoigning for the Revolutionary Party, Mike Keropian and Jack Aired were elected to the exalted offices of Sheriff and Dog Pursuer of the campus. These have been our major activities for the post year and we believe we have made a good start. Bring on the future. 11 tV v y V 7Rovj(Two:,i%o« n, Broehl, rdge, ButlerVCa ■ y y J, r J RcfT Thre .- C pare ' k, ClayXell.

This whole book is about activities, and you wouldn ' t want us to hand in o review of the whole book, not with that one page limit you slapped on us. We (the author, in coze you hadn ' t figured that out yet) might scribble some silly verse about it. That ' s about the extent of what the author (we) does (do). But what could a silly verse accomplish toward describing all those wonderful events coldly referred to as extra-curricular activities? Golly, those things ore glomour, richness, glory, fun, romance . . . they ' re what makes the difference between just going to college and . . . well, really going to college. And how ore you going to get that idea across ' by saying something like, Football is a greet sport here on the hill . . . basketboll is a great sport here on the hill — ? Phooey! That doesn ' t say anything. Don ' t you remember, editors, what o swell time we all hod Homecoming? We were a little afraid of that gome with Wesleyon, weren ' t we? But when the team scored the second touchdown, clinching the victory, do you remember how crazy we all went and how, when the gome was over, we ran out onto the field and grabbed the nearest kid around the neck and pretty nearly cried into his face? Everybody felt so worm and good inside — well, it ' s that intangible feeling of good- fellowship ond friendliness thot football gomes, dances, open meetings, ploys, and all the rest produce. That ' s what mokes college such a swell place, — and you ex- pect us to catch said feeling and put it down in black and white for posterity . . - for cryin ' out loud! Extra-curricular activities (my dear pro- fessor) form most of our college memories. Little things, like walking across the cam- pus on a winter night and watching the dorm lights sparkle on the snow, or drink- ing a coke in the bookstore and wonder- ing if you con afford to cut the next class ■ — things like these, maybe you don ' t think of them as worthy of being classed with regular events. But you wait and see if you don ' t remember a lot of ' em to the exclusion of Bismarck, and what a trade acceptance is, and so forth. (Get the idea?) This isn ' t to shun the big things. Re- member the prom? We all went so stately and formal m tuxedos and evening dresses, and then finished up by sprawling on the floor trying to get the balloons thot had been ceiling decorations until somebody started pulling on the strings to celebrate the lost dance. We had fun at all the dances, from the prom to the nickleodeons. And the societies . . . betcho there ' s not o kid on the campus, among those who are in societies (as most are), who ' ll forget the arguments and the jokes and the swell times in his society hall. What a wonderful thing they are, these organiza- tions. There ' s no way of telling how they enrich college life, how they odd a whole new education to the curriculum. They just do, that ' s oil. And oil the guys and girls know it and appreciate it. Don ' t you see, editors, what a crazy job it is to write something about extra- curricular activities? Why, there ' s the compus itself. Did you ever stroll down the shadowed walks at night and watch the moonbeams slip through the birch limbs? Did you notice how the open lawn seems to be bathed in a kind of shimmering, silvery brightness that stretches as for as it can to reach the grim walls of the build- ings? Everything is so quiet somehow. The pillars on Tanner stond out a little bit from the shadows and keep watch over the whole beautiful, soft, campus world. They . . . what ' s that, editors? You soy you never . . . you ' re all story tellers, we sow you lost Tuesday, wasn ' t it? (Yes) Any- way, that ' s not the point. The point is that the campus is another reason for the fact that Old Illinois is so very, very fine. It ' s like . . . it ' s . . . well ... Well, gosh editors, it ' s just that all these things — athletics, dances, plays, societies, even moonlight on the campus — are real parts of college life. They contribute the filling and the seasoning and the richness and . . . and the everything that doesn ' t come out of the classroom. It ' s oil kind of spiritual or something, but it ' s so darn real and important, too. Don ' t you see? You feel it, we oil feel it, but write something about extra-curricular activi- ties . . . gosh! —Bill Clark. ACTIVITIES Seated: Chopman, Tipp. Standing: Dr. OKtoby. Fl THE FORUM OFFICERS President Secretary MARY PINKERTON . HARRY STORY Since the organization of the Forum in 1936, it has be on active link between students and faculty. Membership is drown from both the men ' s and women ' s literory societies, non-society men and the faculty. A resume of the year ' s activities will show the wide scope of the Forum functions: In response to a petition from the Athletic Board of Control, the Forum, in conjunction with the faculty, voted one-half of the profits of the hHomecoming dance to aid spring athletics. The choosing of Rig editors and business manager has been in the hands of the Forum for the post two years, and this year they hove also hod the supervision of the yearbook, a position formerly held by a faculty appointee. At the December meeting, a petition for enlargement of the book- store was approved and sent to the faculty for action. Petitions from students led to a complete reorganization of the Social Committee, the aim of which was to diversify responsibility and to outline more specificolly the individual duties. Unique in Forum history is this system of petitioning, which was planned with on eye to freer expression from the student body. Any subject concerning the college may be covered by the petitions. Sea ' ed: Bennett, McCarthy, Kitner, Johnston, Lone, Sontoorjion. Standing: Bortels, McCollum, Denis, Massey. Brockhouse, Hollerber THE RIG We, the Editors, Business Manager, and the Staff of the 1938 Rig have worked hard to publish a yearbook that will live up to the high standards of the annuals which have preceded us. Although we worked under the handicap of a shortage of time, the excellent cooperation of the administration and student body has greatly aided us in presenting this book. Even more important was the excellent work of the entire staff in gathering together the vast amount of material necessary for the pro- duction of such a book. The Staff was wisely selected. Not confined by the restriction of allowing only upperclassmen to fill the positions, the editors were fortunate in having the cream of the entire student body from which to choose their workers. We encountered various difficulties, the most important of which being the fact that Art Editor Santoorjian suffered a broken arm, but in spite of all our mishaps the job has been a lot of work and a lot of fun. The Staff includes Editors Kitner and McCarthy, Business Manager Johnston, Jr. Editor hlallerberg, Jr. Business Manager Denis, and the following: Bennett, Wilton, Santoorjian, Massey, McCollum, Brockhouse, Monoogian, Rancher, Lane, Cordell, and Bartels.

In December, the Sigs won the faculty debate trophy for the eighth time, getting the first victory on the new cup. Fay, Johnston, and Clark composed the winning teom. The annual open meeting drew a capacity audience to the society halls Thursday, April 21, for an entertaining program which included this year ' s edition of the opera. The spring formal donee was again a great success and the year was climoxed by the love feast during Commencement week. Sigma Pi continued to be well represented in other campus activi- ties, members of the society serving as officers of classes and clubs and holding editorial positions on the Rambler staff. Rawson Moore, first semester secretary of the society, was co-editor of the college news- paper, Rommelkomp and Fay, the newly appointed co-editors, both being Sigs. hHartong and McWord, co-captoins of next year ' s foot- ball team, ore both members of Sigma Pi.

Lovers of Truth, the name the Immortal Seven gave the organization v hich they founded, exists today much as it was when first organized, clinging to the same ideals, and characterized by a refreshing independence and individual freedom. Phi Alpha Literary Society is performing an important work on the campus of Illinois College today, in the field of literary and dramatic art, and in supplying the means whereby students are brought together fraternally to strive onward and upward in search of elusive Truth. The organization is high in scholastic ranking, and Its reputation OS a leader in school activities Is unquestioned among other campus organizations. In debate and in campus politics Phi Alpha is sharing laurels with other literary societies, gaming its portion of class officers and debate decisions.

Made up of the presidents of all women ' s societies, organizations, and dormitories, the Women ' s Council, headed by hielen Kitner, is a group whose aim is the uniting of all the Illinois College women into close, bonds of friendship. The Feast of the Triangle, in October, and a Christmas party for underprivileged children were the outstanding activities of the year.

Treasurer GLENN FREEMAN SAM MANGIERI CECIL FLETCHER GAIL McWARD Beginning last fall when the I Club was reorganized in order to promote better interest in a football teom that got off to a season ' s start with not enough men to form a first eleven, the Varsity Club of Illinois College has proved itself this year to be one of the most am- bitious and cooperative student organizations on the hill. Through its organization of student rallies and later through Its financial backing of a student bond, it laid the foundation for a school year that was to be exceptional for spirit. To the I Club must go the credit for being the first organization that deemed it worthwhile to invest money In the newly formed school bond. Realizing that a championship football team was a fine source of publicity, the club financed several non-members of the campus body for the lotter ' s expenses in sending out news stories to the papers through- out the state. Then, in rapid succession, came the Born Dance, the aid that the I Club gave in the hHlgh School I.R.C., the aid given the bond in the Carnival Dance, and finally the backing of the track team. For a long time the students of Illinois College had given up their hopes of having a track team, until the I Club come through with an appropriation that made the track team possible, financially. The I Club has been fortunate in having officers of high caliber to direct its affairs, and to them belongs a great deal of credit. First Row: Jones, Miller, Wofler, Bolm. Norns, Freeman, V.

ATHLETICS LARUE VAN METER Athletic Director Although athletics is o form of play, intercollegiate athletics has many serious aspects that olmost seem to obliterate the element of ploy. Yet these serious aspects are most valuable. Endurance and skill, strength and speed come as dividends of hard work. Self-control and determination are basic to athletic success. These qualities become realities only when evidenced in the sternest type of competition. It is tooth to tooth and jaw to jaw, yet controlled conflict. Only real men can enjoy this conflict. The Blueboy Spirit asks no quarter, glories in tough going, honors the opponent. ALFRED LAMB Assistant Coach The port that athletics ploy in college life is an important one, both to the participator and the college itself. This fact has been felt more keenly this year than at any other time within the past decade, for we have enjoyed an unusual degree of success in the field of sports. For my part it has been a great pleasure to work with such capable and loyal athletes with the support and backing of the student body.

Prospects for next year ore exceedingly bright, also, as a strong group of veterans, led by Co-Captains Elect McWard and hlortong, vvill return for the 1938 season. Other lettermen expected to bolster next year ' s eleven include Lipe, Trost, Mader, Bluthardt, DiCenso, Lambert, Israel, Wilton, Porks and hlopper. hlowever, the squad suffered severe losses by the graduation of such fine backs as Donat, Mongieri and Fletcher, and linemen Jones, Bollard, Prosise, Wafler and Clem.

MANGIERI LAMBERT CLEM End BASKETBALL With only three veterans returning from lost year ' s basketball squad, Coach La Rue Van Meter had to bring his new material along slowly with the result that the Illinois bosketeers did not flash their usual form until late in the season, when they began hanging up victories with their usual regularity. Co-Coptains Vergil and Cecil Fletcher along with Ira Scott formed a nucleus of former letter winners. Around these three Von Meter built his squad composed of Bellotti, Moxon, Yates, Taylor, Dawson, Doily, Adolphson, Lukemon and Thompson.

Although the loss of Kline, Reay, Mattson, Miles and Scheffler will be keenly felt, the lettermen available, combined with a promising group of freshmen, should live up to post standards of Blueboy teams. The pitching staff has Lambert, Amidei, Leach and Evans from last year ' s hurlers as well as Berline, a newcomer. The infield will show an almost entirely new group with Mangieri and DiCenso, the only veterans, bolstered by Buttenob, Isrlnghousen, Cheporek, Dalton, Hawk- ins, Powell, and hieaton. Ira Clark, 1938 co-captain with Evans, will be behind the plate, and v ill rely upon hHeoton and hHowkins for relief duty. Veteran outfielders include Zupsich, Evans and Dawson, while the newcomers are McNeely, Keropian, Sullivan and Bowman. A full schedule includes seven conference gomes and four wormup foes.

Co -yy - SWIMMING For the fourth consecutive year the Illinois College swimming team returned home with the conference championship in 1938. After having had a poor season In so for as dual meets were concerned, the Blueboys came back to win the first conference title of the newly formed Illinois College Conference. Beset with numerous mishaps and difficulties, ond losing to Washington U., DePouw, Indiana U., Loyola, and Grinnell, the Illinois squad pulled themselves together to score wins over Quincy Y. M. C. A., Monmouth, Knox and Bradley. At the conference meet the Blue- boys pulled the title out of the fire in a thrilling finish that saw three senior men. Freeman, Stucko, and Bennett, swim their last race for Illinois Col- lege. The laurel wreoths rest easily upon their brows. TRACK After a month of worrying the I. C. lads found that it was possible to have a track team, and everyone fell to with a will. It took no time at oil before the track had been leveled off by all those interested, and then the advance guard took over the field under the tutelage of Ray Smith. Captain hloword Clem led out Vergil Fletcher, Vergil Vondenburg, Jim Norris, and Jim Taylor as the remains of last year ' s strong team. With the help of Kostanski, Mogee, and Yates, all promising first year men on the squad, the team ran away with the first meet of the season, a triangular affair with Springfield Junior College and hlonnibal- LaGrange. In this encounter the octet mentioned above showed that it could be counted on for many a first place. Illinois College has high hopes for the track team. The balance of the schedule shows many fine meets to be held. April 28 Monmouth May 3 Cor+hoge May 7 Prmciplo Moy 14 Millikin Moy 21 State Meet at Galesburg TENNIS With four of the five lettermen returning from lost seoson, the Blueboy rocqueteers look forward to a very successful year on the courts. Last seacon hiamm and Lukemon won the conference doubles crown, while Clark and Sunderland placed fourth and Lukeman copped third honors in the singles division. This year, after a very successful training tour through the South, Copt. Sunderland, Lukeman, hHomm, Rommelkomp, and Bellatti are prepared to defend last year ' s undefeated conference record against competition which will include matches with Bradley, Millikin and Western Teachers, ending with the state meet at Galesburg. The tennis team is again cooched by Prof. J. hi. Strotton. GOLF The I 938 Illinois College golf team hopefully anticipates on extensive schedule arranged by their manager, M. M. Barlow. A promising group of freshmen odd considerable strength to on already imposing array of veteran talent, made up of Doyle, former Little 19 champ, Bolin, Parks and Wiley. The new linksmen include Cope, Reiners, Wentz and Osborne. The wormup schedule brings the Blueboys up against Springfield Junior College, Gem City Business College, Washington University and Western Teachers. Conference matches will be with Millikin, Knox, and Wesleyon, with the finale at the State Meet of the new conference at Galesburg May 27-28. RAMMELKAMP, LUKEMAN, ALLEN, SUNDERLAND, BELLATTL HAMM.

OSBORNE. 1 , FRESHMAN ATHLETICS Freshman Coach Freshman Coach Ray Smith made his debut as a college coach by training some fine material for next year ' s varsity squads. This was Ray Smith ' s first year coaching and yet he showed that in future years he will be turning out some fine athletes for Illinois College. In freshman football last fall, the Smithmen gave the Varsity eleven several stiff practice sessions. Unfortunately, the frosh only had two games on their schedule, beating Millikin and dropping a game to Wes- leyan. Kostanski, Aired, Yates, Dick Shirvis, and Ursic showed the greatest promise. In basketball the frosh came through with a fairly successful season, splitting even in twelve games. The standout gomes of the season were victories over Wesleyon, Millikin, and Honnibal-LaOrange. Gumble, Personnett, and Berline will probably give the varsity men a fine battle next year. Seated: FRESHMAN FOOTBALL n:2, Santooriian, Aired, Ursic. Edfc Sh.rv,5, D.

Surely every girl, in fact, all of Illinois College cannot deny that this is our tribute to Isabel Thompson. Under her winning guidance the Women ' s Athletic Department has established an enviable place, not on our campus alone, but throughout the state. It is a foregone conclusion that only great things can come from such a great teacher. HOCKEY hlockey, always a popular sport among the girls, this year was at its height. The girls practiced every Tuesday and Thursday afternoons on the Women ' s Athletic Field. In October a class tournament, under the direction of J. Rantz, manager, was run off with the sophomores finally emerging as victors. ENGLEMAN, BALSTER, COX, HEFLIN, NORBURY, LANE, FITZJARRELL HORSEMANSHIP J Horseback ndmg was again included in the women ' s athletic pro- gram this year. Under the direction of Helen Kitner, the girls learned riding technique, core of horses and riding equipment. Classes were held six weeks in the spring and fall, one hour a week being devoted to lecture and demonstration, and one hour to practice riding. Twenty-two girls, under the leadership of Miss Thompson, coach, and Mary Heflin, manager, were divided into three basketball teams. These teams played a round-robin tournament throughout the season and then an elimination tournament. The Sure-shots and Ballyhcos tied for first place. In February the Illinois College girls defeated MilJikKirh n four games and then defeated Carthage at Carthage. , r J II. B. Rantz, J. Heflin, Breck ' nndge, Dycus, Grone, Schr tz, Norbury, Kitner.

Several veteran golfers, OS well as a number of beginners, reported for practice. The women ' s varsity tennis team completed last year ' s season with the loss of but two meets.

(Don ' t argue, I have set my mind uponnet; Don ' t plead, for I am bound to do my deouty.) The subject? Well, most sonnets tell of women, Or nature, like the sunset ' s rosy blush, Or crystal lakes that bashful lovers swomen. I guess the subject doesn ' t matter mush. The first eight lines shall rime a, b, a, b. With couplets for the final six. You see With this change the verse would be ill-gotten, For that ' s the way a sonnet must be wrotten. O.K. Let ' s go: She stood there, broken hearted My gosh! That ' s all! And I ain ' t even started. BILL CLARK.
