EDITORS' COMMENT You are about to page through another Rig, to view in permanent form the record of the persons, activities, and achievements of Illinois College for the past year. If it were necessary for us to give one word that typifies this book, we believe that word would be informality ; for we have tried as far as possible to present the every-day, true to life, informal picture of the college. So we give you the faculty, not in formal portraits of ancient years, but in their classes and with their colleagues; the seniors at work and at play and at study; the societies in their meetings, bull sessions, and social gath- erings; the athletes in action on the playing field; in short, we give you Illinois College at its best, because we give it to you as it actually is. If we have in small degree cap- tured this spirit of informality and passed it on to you to keep and remember, we feel that we have achieved our purpose in presenting this 1939 Rig to you.

It was their combined decisions that placed the Rig on the activity fee and thus on a firm finan- cial foundation. Without them this book would not have been possible.

They are life itself. Hence the activities and achievements re- corded here belong to the education which you have re- ceived during this year. They have contributed to the development of all who have participated in them. The wise have employed them temperately to cultivate the art of living with others. As they have taken part in the life of the community that is our College, they have be- come more truly persons. The proudest achievements, the happiest days, and the warmest friendships are commem- orated in this book. It is my wish that these memories may be yours always. H.

LOUIS HALLOCK Beginning with a class of one hun- dred and seventy some odd members in the fall of 1935, the class of '39 has diminished in size over a span of four years until now it numbers only about titty. But, as has often been said, quality, not quantity, is the im- portant factor; and of the former, we modestly admit, the class of '39 has plenty. As Freshmen, the class of '39 went through the usual initiation required of all yearlings and enjoyed it as much as the Freshman class of any other year. Homecoming was par- ticularly memorable in this regard. Several members of the class already began in that year to leave a lasting mark on activities on the Hill, athlet- ically, dramatically, argumentative- ly and in numerous other ways. In no time at all the first year was over, and we became sophs. This meant more elections and more so- ciety rivalry for coveted class offices. Herb Schetfler was the winner to the satisfaction of all. The class began a precedent which has now lasted three years by staging a Sophomore Cotillion under the able direction of Earl Brown and class adviser, Protes- sor J. P. Smith. Athletically speaking, too, the class distinguished itself with such budding luminaries as Scheffler, Fletcher, Hartong, Lambert, Mc- Ward, Ballard, Zupsich, Corrigan, Kalteux, Timke, Bluthardt and Lorenz bringing honors to |. C. on the foot- ball, basketball and baseball teams. Norton Foster was a co-editor of the Rig that year, the first with the year- book on the activity fee. As Juniors, the class named Earl Brown prexy the first semester and Gail McWard the second. The Prom, held December |6, was, under the able direction of Harry Story, a com- plete success, financial and other- wise. Doris Scheffler dazzled the dancers as Prom Queen. All too soon we were seniors. As usual, elections were in order, and Jack Hartong and Frank Kalteux were elected to the office of Presi- dent. Seniors McWard, Hartong, Scott, Kalteux, Lambert, and Zupsich led |.C.'s athletic teams this year. Bob Fay and Julian Rammelkamp edited the Rambler with Clarence Evans as business manager. Edward Johnston business managed the Rig for a second successive year. Bob Fay and Ed Johnston covered them- selves with glory by capturing the Faculty Inter-Society Debate trophy for the fourth consecutive year. Ed Bluthardt was named head of the Senior Ball, last class function for the class of '39. And now, four short years have passed away, leaving the members of the class of '39 on the threshold of life on their own. To quote from another Rig, here the class of '39 has played and laughed, and matured, | ...and, incidentally, studied. ‘Now as they leave this place, they find that its power has deeply aftected every one of them.’ BALLARD BELCHER BLUTHARDT BROCKHOUSE BUSEY CHAPMAN CLARK ep Oa miss M.

LOUIS HALLOCK The junior class, totaling well over seventy members, has proved to be the largest junior class ever to be had at Illinois College. The amazing success of the juniors in the various campus activities leads to the reali- zation that next year's seniors are to be extra worthy ones. Junior class president, Puzant Ker- opian, early in the year appointed Charles Winterbottom and Steve Korevec as co-chairmen of the all- important Junior Prom which was held Friday, December |6. These boys combined to put on a truly fine Prom and were ably assisted by a decoration committee headed by Mary Alice Heflin and Art Santoor- jian. Ruth Rigdon was elected as the queen of the Prom, and her court in- cluded Esther Marsh, Frances Lane and Charlotte Schwaner. Byron Dun- bar furnished the music for the even- ings event. Rutus Browning, at the last meet- ing of the Forum, was appointed to head the Forum next year. Besides this honor, Rufus along with George Rogers, was appointed as Marshal of the graduating class. The junior editors of the Rambler, Clara Belle Miller, Ted Rammelkamp, and Charles Manoogian worked dili- gently this year on the newspaper. Ted Rammelkamp and Clara Belle Miller were appointed to edit the paper in their senior year. Ray Gor- don will be the business manager. The Rig was edited by two juniors, Art Hallerberg and Art Santoorjian. They have worked hard and should be credited or criticized for this book. Next year's Rig will be co- edited by Floyd Bertolio, and Ken- neth Baker will be the business man- ager. Keith Peabody, fighting tackle of the football squad, will lead next year's team. Keith was and will be supported by other juniors, Yates, Mader, Thompson, and Hopper. All played hard ball for the Blueboys. Bellatti and Yates will co-captain next year's basketball squad and will lead avery promising squad. Other sports, too, had their junior champions. Dramatics proved to be another outlet to the extrovertish tendencies of the junior class. Bill Clark, whose inimitable acting will be remembered tor years to come, was president of the Hilltop Players. Several other classmen proved their dramatic abil- ity, too. Bob Seise, Esther Marsh, Frances Lane, Clara Belle Miller, and Dwight Nelson helped to make the plays a success. Outstanding indeed was the junior class year under the advisership of Mr. Chet Bone. Nothing seems to be in the way for a banner senior year. 23 ALLEN ARENA BAKER BARRETTE BEINKE BELLATT| BERTOLIO BROWNING CLARK CLOUGH CONLEE COOPER CORRIGAN DAILY DENIS DODDS DUEWER EADES FANCHER FRY GORDON HALLERBERG HEFLIN HERRICK ae HOPPER JACOBS KEITH KEROPIAN KOREVEC LANDHOLT LANE LANGER LARSON LIPE MADDOX MADER MANOOGIAN MARSH MARSHALL MASSEY C.

EDWARD OSBORNE Two years of college lite have pro- duced a class of sophisticated, super collegiate sophomores—true to the good old spirit of '41. Scholars, ath- letes, socialites, extra-curricular ac- tivity participants — leaders in the various phases of college life have emerged from the ranks of the 'forty-oners. The sophomores gained a firm foothold in campus life during their freshman year. They produced out- standing football and basketball teams. Two ot their members, Mar- vin Buttenob and Virgil Isringhausen, rated regular berths on the varsity baseball team. Several others cre- ated a new era in track. Others brought us glory in the field of dra- matics and campus politics. Our coeds made their freshman literary society, Alpha Pi Eta, one of the most prominent freshman literary so- cieties in the history of the college. With this record of achievement behind them, the sophomores came back this year to win new laurels for the class of '41. With the true spirit of youth, they put the freshmen through a hectic homecoming. In the limelight of sports we have Dick Shirvis elected captain of next year's swimming team. Ursic, Yates, Shir- vis, Kostanski were quite prominent on the football field, and other mem- bers of our class contributed to the production of a splendid team. Our classmates’ contributions to basket- ball, baseball, track and swimming add further to the services which we have extended to our college. The Sophomore Fling under the very excellent and capable guidance of Jim Doyel was an outstanding financial and social success. It was an event which future sophomores can only hope to duplicate. Two of our lads, Roy Wentz and Ted Larson exemplitied our ingenuity and loyalty to Illinois College by in- stigating and promoting a successful campaign for a new gym—successful in that it encouraged other friends of the college to enter into the cam- paign and become actively inter- ested in the promotion of this worthy cause. One of our coeds, Mabel Tippitt, was appointed co-editor of the 1940 Rig. Two years ago Illinois College saw this class enter as a new crop of unknowns. Since that time she has seen them quickly and without too much display of fanfare make a name for themselves. They have shown just what fine work they are capable of producing. With such a fine record of accomplishments and experiences behind them, the class of ‘41 has the ability not only to pro- duce equally fine work and service to the campus life of the next two years, but is endowed with a greater capacity to bring to our college greater and new honor and glory. Loyalty, scholarship, and service — these three have been and will con- tinue to be exemplified in the class of '41. Watch them go. 32 ALLEN BELCHER BENSON BERKEMEYER BLACK BEE BROWN BURGE BUTTENOB D. CAMPBELL P.

LEROY MORGAN On Monday, September 12, the members of the freshman class, the class of '42, embarked on their col- lege career. Orientation week pro- vided the means for introducing them to campus life and activities and to become acquainted with their classmates and upper classmen. Eng- lish placement tests were given, a picnic was held on the campus, and there were assemblies where profes- sors and college leaders gave the freshmen instructions and informa- tion regarding Illinois College. The President's Reception, the Freshman Party, and the All-College Mixer gave a birdseye view of social life on the campus. Then came classes and studying. Soon green caps dotted the cam- pus, and freshmen learned to respect the seniority of the sophomores, carrying out any of their reasonable requests. The freshmen girls experi- enced their first initiation when the sophomores called for them one night to take them on the campus to bay at the moon, repeat nursery rhymes, and sing to Crampton Halll. Then came Homecoming with more initiations and a final farewell to green caps. Freshmen were now full-fledged Illinois College students, no longer hearing the familiar ''As- sume the angle! or ‘Button, Fresh- man! Members of the class of '42 have shown themselves capable not only in their studies, many being on the honor roll, but in all outside activities as well. On the staff of the ''Ram- bler'’ as reporters and feature writ- ers are several prominent freshmen. Likewise they have helped with the production of the ''Rig.'' Many clever actors and actresses have been discovered in the class and are now members of the Hilltop Players after appearing in any of the six one-act plays which have been produced this year. The freshman football squad proved their mettle in competition with other colleges as well as with the varsity eleven. The girls were well represented in hockey, basketball, volleyball, and swimming. Alpha Eta Pi literary society has had a most successful year under capable leadership and has estab- lished an enviable reputation of suc- ceeding in whatever they attempt. There was much interest in debat- ing; consequently competition was stitt for the George Gridley Wood prize, which was awarded to Keith Mossman. In the Men's Chorus and Women's Chorus and in the college band fresh- men have shown their interest in and appreciation of music. Members of the class of '42 have enjoyed this, their freshman year, and are grateful to the faculty, upperclassmen, and the college as a whole for their assistance in making this year as successful as it has been.

It is true that the squads have been small, but this same excellence of material more than made up the difference. The athletes have been most co- operative, and their desire to do their utmost to win carried us over many rough spots. In the past few ears we have had some outstanding athletes who have or will continue in sports atter their school days are over. We feel sure that they will again bring glory to themselves and thus reflect credit on the training they received at ''Old Illinois. ' Again as in other years, much of our success can be attributed to the assistant coaches who have worked hard to bring recognition to the va- rious branches of |.C. athletics. Three of these coaches: Ray Smith who coaches varsity track and freshman football, basketball, and track; Chick Ballard who assisted in var- sity football; and Ira Clark who coaches freshman baseball, contin- ued to show the same cooperative spirit that they had here at Illinois College a few years ago when they, themselves, were outstanding ath- letes. Bob Riegel, former basketball cap- tain at the University of Illinois, came to us as a part time coach in basket- ball. Mr. Riegel immediately fell in with the cooperative spirit held by the rest of the athletic department and has left a lasting impression with those with whom he came in contact in athletics. We hope that the sportsmanship that we have striven to impart to the boys will not stop when they leave college, but will be used by them as an important instrument in their life- work to come. If we have accom- plished this, then we feel that the athletic program has truly fulfilled its purpose. AP Standing: Ballard, Darr, Cooper, Johnson, Kos- tanski, Wicks, M.

The first game was in the form of a warm-up for Western State Teachers of Kalamazoo, Michigan. The Teachers, by virtue of a bigger team and more material, sent the Blueboys home on the short end of a 28-0 trimming. However, there was a ray of hope for the team as Kalteux, Bluthardt, and Davis played great ball, while the team had been forced to get along without the services of Gus Petraitis, a very capable transfer from Connecticut via Argo. The following week-end found the |.C.-ers journeying to Parsons where a last minute (or more truthfully, a last twenty second) lateral to Keith Peabody resulted in the winning score. The boys brought back the 13-12 victory amidst great rejoicing at home. Clayt Lambert was hurt early in this game, but he refused to be taken out. It was indeed fortunate for the team that he remained in the game, as his forward pass paved the way for the touch- down-lateral. A torridly hot afternoon on October 15 was too much for the Blueboys, and Carthage (with some excellent sup- port trom Geiger) took Illinois over the hurdles, 9-6. For a short while it looked as though the lads were going to snap out of their early game lethargy, but they bogged down after shoving over one score. Petraitis returned to the lineup that afternoon as a bona fide uninjured player. 44 And then it came. The long awaited game with Wes- leyan was at hand. The Illinois College team came through with a performance that proved to be the best of the football season. Holding Wesleyan for most of the game, the team lost only after a few discrepancies in officiating had given Wesleyan a golden scoring opportunity on the one yard line. As it was, no Illinois rooter was disappointed in the fight the Blueboys showed in this 14-0 defeat. Our Homecoming brought down Millikin as our adver- saries, and the team presented the campus with a 14-0 victory to aid the homecoming spirits along. DiCenso came through with two touchdowns, while Cooper showed that he would be a very serious contender for starting berths in the future. Again the following week-end in the game against Principia, Cooper shone in an 18-7 victory. Detroit Tech had the Blueboys up as their guests on the afternoon ot November |. They treated their guests to a one-sided defeat. Detroit threw so much speed and power into the game that they were able to run up a 44-7 score in spite of the fact that Lambert and Petraitis played gallant ball. Co-captains McWard and Hartong, with seniors Blu- thardt, Zupsich, Lambert and Meyers, finished their careers in a blaze of glory by leading the team to a victory over Wheaton, thus depriving Wheaton of a chance for the conference title. Keith Peabody was elected captain for the 1939 season in recognition of his fine work in the for- ward line. Kr! . it - | , wf “ ‘ YE ee Lv” ; . aha Ay } Pa i COAGEBRIEGEL Left to right: Daily, Fletcher, Bellatti, Scott, Gumbel, Yates, Osborne, Moxon, Hamm, VARSITY BASKETBALL Illinois College basketeers concluded the 1938-39 sea- son with six victories against eight defeats. Their confer- ence record showed two wins and three losses for a per- centage rating of .400. The two victories were registered over the traditional Blueboy rival, Millikin, while Monmouth bested |.C. twice and Augustana also won from lllinois. The squad was led by Captain Ira Scott who proved to be a really capable performer for Coach Bob Riegel. Riegel, in his first year as court mentor at Illinois, came from the University of Illinois where he had starred as cen- ter and captain of the 1937 Illini hoopsters. Although the 46 —7148aw Al - sae APOC OSE FSO Blueboys got off to a slow, ragged start in the current sea- son, Riegel brought the team along rapidly until their offense moved smoothly, and at times brilliantly, during the closing weeks of the season. Besides Captain Scott, whose stellar work in rebound- ing the ball under either basket was invaluable, only Cecil Fletcher was lost from the squad by graduation. Fletcher's loss will be keenly felt, however, as his tricky passing and scoring have been a feature of I.C. games for four years. The returning veterans include Bellatti and Yates, who have been elected as co-captains of next year's team. Both are tenacious guards and capable scorers. Moxon, the best passer on the squad, is also dangerous under the hoop. Daily, Hamm, and Gumbel are the veteran forwards available and Parsons and Osborne, two sophomore guards, will also return to next season's varsity squad along with a fine group of freshmen. Daily and Gumbel are the hard-driving type of players who provide lots of spark and spirit to the offense by their hard play. Hamm, on the other hand, is a shifty and elusive scorer who gives the opposing guards plenty of trouble trying to block his deadly left-handed hook shots. Parsons and Osborne are both hard-working at their guard positions, and their one year's varsity experience should add greatly to their value to the Blueboy squad. Ted Rammelkamp was the varsity manager during the past season, and Bud Jung held the position of assistant manager. Rebound Manager Eee LG: EG Ves. Lee EG. Ee IAS Es. dc.

Last year they won five consecutive conference victories to take the league title with an un- defeated record. With the fine array of talent Coach Lamb has available, however, Illinois should be able to retain the league title with little trouble. Although the squad is lacking in reserve strength, they have a fine ball club, which has been called the finest defensive college team in the state. Co-captains Clayton Lambert, ace hurler, and Mike Zupsich, slugging outfielder, lead an almost veteran nine. Marvin Buttenob, first base; John Cheperak, second base; Virgil Isringhausen, shortstop; Gus Petraitis, third base; and Herschel Heaton, catcher, compose a great defensive infield. The outfield is made up of Zupsich, Bert McNeely and Mike Keropian. Howard Berline adds strength to the pitching staff, while Clarence Lorenz, Jerry Geolat and Jake Powell are valuable as reserves. Jack Hartong is the senior manager of the present squad and is assisted by Kenneth Baker, junior manager, and Robert Trimpe, sophomore manager. 48 49 Standing: Mr. Wright, Denny, Mr. Cooke. Seated: Mr. Lamb, Rammelkamp. The Athletic Board of Control is a body composed of students, faculty and members of the administration, whose duty it is to supervise the athletic programs at Illinois College. The student members hold their positions on the board as student managers in their respective sports and one Rambler editor. In the general supervisions of all cam- pus athletics, the duties of the board include the drawing up and approval of the budget, the approval of athletic awards for intercollegiate competition, the approval of schedules, and the settlement of any problems which may arise concerning athletics. The past year saw the adoption of a new constitution by the Athletic Board, which transfers much of their power of final decision to the college trustees, especially in the matter of the budget and finances. This step was taken in an attempt to eliminate the annual deficits of the athletic department. However, the Athletic Board still retains full advisory powers over all policies concerning athletics. The student members of the Athletic Board of Control are Ira Clark and Gail McWard, football managers, Julian Rammelkamp, Rambler Editor, Ted Rammelkamp, basket- ball manager, Noima Denny, girls' athletic manager, Dick Korevec and Jack Hartong, baseball managers. M. M. Barlow, Dr. H. Gary Hudson and Dean McFall represent the administration while F. W. Cooke, H. J. Stratton, Alfred Lamb and John Wright are the faculty members of the Board. Julian Rammelkamp is the chairman of the Athletic Board and Dean McFall acts as secretary for that body.

SWIMMING For the fifth straight year the ''pool-less wonders , the p= swimming team otf Illinois College, came through with a Y p W conference swimming title. Pre-season writers had picked ¥ the Blueboys to place no higher than second in the con- terence meet. During the course of the season, the swim- | mers met and defeated Grinnell, Monmouth, Quincy, and sy WN Bradley while only dropping a meet to Loyola of Chicago. J ei Whipped into suitable condition by Coach Alf Lamb's w fine training, the boys were able to take the conference title by virtue of a victory in the final event of the day, after having trailed North Central all day.

Coach Barlow has had at his disposal such men as Captain Parks, Buckley, Cope, Wiley, Reiners, Osborne, Hopper and Kalteux.

TENNIS After Hamm, Rammelkamp, Piserak, Allen, and Cooper had traveled into the Southlands to tackle among others L.S.U. and Vanderbilt, the tennis team came home to aim for the State meet. Captain Hamm, defending champion in the State singles went to Bradley, won in the district singles and thus qualitied for the State meet later in the year. He and Rammelkamp teamed together to take the doubles as well in the same meet. In regular matches this year the boys have so far had victories from Millikin and Macomb while dropping one to Principia. Should Rammelkamp and Bob Hamm continue to be in the fine playing mettle they have been all year, there is no doubt of the results in the State finals.

The boys were sixth at the Midwest Meet, and Yates came througn with a tie for first in the high jump and a second in the broad jump at the Beloit Relays. The squad then went on to lose two very close meets. The first was to Carthage by a score of 65 to 60 and then to Culver-Stockton 65 2 3 to 65 1 3. The following week, however, the thinclads over- powered Millikin 72 to 39. The conference meet will take place at Naperville this year. The schedule is as follows: Midwest Conference, Beloit Relays, Carthage, Culver-Stockton, Millikin, Con- ference Meet at Naperville. Just before the game Let's have it Riding high. Go! FRESHMAN SPORTS FROSH FOOTBALL With two victories from Quincy College and one from Millikin, the frosh gridmen compensated for the 6-0 loss to Wesleyan frosh. Those contributing to a successful season included Scott, Detienne, Reay, Mangieri, Heaton, and Tronsen in the backfield. Hagelauer, Kohler, Fry, New- berry, Brown, Morin, and Fait were the stalwarts in the forward wall. ints eee DuInCyae aise 0 linois; 2a. eh Orie ee 9 HIT OlSsaaee een Millikin 2... 6 Miter es 2 6 Wesleyan... 6 FROSH BASKETBALL The 1938-39 season proved to be one of the most successtul in the history of freshman basketball at Illinois College. Coach Ray Smith's yearling squad dropped the first game to the Normal ''B ' team and then proceeded to win eight consecutive victories before Millikin's frosh nosed them out in the season finale. Their victims included Springfield Jr. College, Millikin, Normal ''B , Quincy, and Hannibal-LaGrange Frosh. The squad was composed of Reay, Weir, Langford, Pesavento, R. McWard, Hagelauer, Ganson, Bingaman, Scott, Pollock, and Manager Dew. FROSH TRACK The freshman track team has proved itself to be a sterling group of men who can be counted on to provide plenty of varsity material in future years. Scott, Detienne, Cope, Kaspar, Ganson, Underwood, Phillios, and Straw- bridge have been influential in building up pre-season hopes. The freshmen have already been the victors in a tri- angular meet against Springfield Junior College and Han- nibal-LaGrange. In the Beloit Relays the freshman relay team came away with a fifth place in their event. Millikin freshmen and Concordia College remain for the frosh tracksters. FROSH BASEBALL Freshman baseball made its appearance for the first time at |.C. this year with a fine squad reporting to Coach Ira Clark. The yearling nine played a brief schedule of six games which included home and home tilts with Prin- cipia, Springfield Jr. College, and Concordia Seminary. An excellent mound staff composed of Hagelauer, Turley, and Schnake led the following squad: Crawford, catcher; Britz, first base; Mangieri and McNeil, second base; Brigham, shortstop; Ballard, third base; Tuescher, Langford, Buck, and Bingaman, outfielders. 54 Standing: Coach Smith, Dew, J.

Classes were held each week; and a class tournament was run off at the end of the season, the last of May. There were several hours set aside during the week for those who were interested in participating for recreation rather than class work, In the archery classes were Mabel Armitage, Gwendo- lyn Brim, Martha Fry, Kathryn Mae Hitte, Betty Heffernan, Ann Jones, Lois Kunzelman, Gwen Lee, Miriam Lipcaman, Dorothy Marsh, Dorothy Peterson, Marjorie Von Tobel, Ben Walsh, Helen Waichekaukas, Sara Jane Welker, and Hope Wycoft. TENNIS Frannie Lane was again appointed to serve as man- ager of the Illinois College Women's Tennis Team. Matches were arranged with Principia, Millikin, Normal, and North Central. The I.C. players have always been well represented at the Invitational Meet held at Millikin every spring. In the last two years the first doubles team made up of the Heflin sisters has gone to the finals, winning the champion- ship in 1937, losing in the finals last year in a three-set match, and again winning the championship this year. HOCKEY Hockey, until this year one of the lesser sports, was a rival of basketball and tennis for popularity. The funda- mental principles of the game were taught during class periods; then those girls interested in becoming more skilled played twice each week in special practices. During the hockey season, a team, composed of the girls who had attended the most practices and were otherwise quali- tied, played Principia at Illinois College and Monticello College and Indiana State at a Play Day at the University: of Illinois. BASKETBALL Basketball, under the capable management of Mary Alice Heflin, was one of the most popular sports on the campus again this year. All girls interested in playing on a team reported for the two practices a week which were held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings in the old gym- nasium. From this group two teams were chosen to represent Illinois College at Play Days and in games with different schools. This year the Bluegirls had a full schedule, having played games with Millikin, Macomb, Principia, Normal, and Augustana. Due to the number of games played with other schools, there was not enough time to run off the usual intramural games. 56 | Peterson, Marsh, Fry, Jones. J. Heflin, B. Rantz, Corbett, M. Heflin, J.

Their im- portance and value to the individual stu- dent can hardly be over estimated, for they can contribute much to round out the lite of the student who takes part in their activities. Their bi-monthly programs give chance for literary and speech develop- ment; their date nights and similar func- tions allow for participation in a complete social program; the competition in intra- mural athletics, debate and faculty tro- phies give chance for wholesome rivalries. Above all, they promote friendships which last long after college days are over. No matter if one is a Sig or a Phi or a mem- ber of Gammu Nu, no matter to which womens society the coed belongs, he or she is proud to be a member of that society, and ninety-nine times out of a hundred values the experiences in that so- ciety above everything else that goes to make up college life. May these societies continue to play an important part in the lives of many students to come.

Fay, Johnston and Clark, one of the strongest and most successtul debate teams in Illinois College history, won the faculty debate trophy for the ninth time, the second consecutive year on the new trophy. Johnston, Evans and Hayes were members of the varsity debate team. In athletics Sigma Pi Society really did itself proud. G. McWard and Hartong were co-captains of the Blue- boy footballers, with Bluthardt and Hopper seeing much service on the varsity team. Bellatti led the Blueboy quintet in scoring during the season and will be one of the co- captains next year. Buttenob played his second year on the conference champ baseball’ team. Clark was a mem- ber of the swimming team that won the conference cham- pionship for the fourth successive year. T. Rammelkamp was on the varsity tennis team and Hopper was on the varsity golf squad. Freshman members distinguished them- selves in Freshman athletics. Fay and J. Rammelkamp edited the Rambler this year, with Evans as business manager of the paper. Hallerberg and Santoorjian edited the Rig, with Johnston serving as business manager. Other members were on the staffs of 64 both publications. T. Rammelkamp will be one of the co- editors of the Rambler next year and Gordon is to be business manager. Clark served as president of the Dramatic Club. Man- - SIGMA oogian was president of the International Relations Club. In music Clark, Engelman and Capps were members P | ot the men's glee club and Trimpe was a member of the band. For the second straight year Sigma Pi led the men's societies in scholastic averages, a record of which society members are rightfully proud. New members taken into Sigma Pi during the year were Bob McWard, John Rawlings, Lee McNeil, Bill Fry, Kenneth Crawtord, Kenneth Hankins, Frank Kohler, Jack McClain, Charles Sevier and Frank Mangieri. The annual open meeting of the society was presented before a large audience on May 3, with the annual ‘opera’ proving a big hit. The spring formal was successfully held on May 19 and the annual Love Feast was held during Commencement Week. Sigma Pi is proud of the past year and places it as one of the banner years in its long history. Plans are now well underway for the Sigma Pi Centennial to be held in 1943, a century of progress in the proud history of Illinois College. | First essayist, Hallock ... Four horsemen ...

Carl Black was a member of the varsity tennis team, and Larry Larson was on the varsity track team. Several of the freshmen members won numerals in various sports. In debate, the Phi team composed of Wilson, Browning, Denis, and Mossman lost to Sigma Pi in the finals of the Inter-society debate. Wilson was a member of the varsity team which enjoyed a successful season. Mossman and Wurtzel, freshmen members, won first and third places respectively in the George Gridley Wood debate. Musicianship was displayed by Strueter, Mossman, Newberry, Buck, Underwood, Wurtzel, and Menees, all members of the college band, and Zabler, Strueter, Turney, Roy, and Menees, members of the men's glee club. Nelson and Denis were active members of the Dramatic Club. Ted Larson served as sophomore class president the second semester, and he also served as chairman of the International Relations Club conference held on the |.C. 66 campus May 6. Nelson was president of the junior class the second semester, and Fletcher was vice president of the senior class. Several Phis were active on the ''Rambler'' staff and on the ''Rig'' staff. PH| Twenty-one members were taken into Phi Aloha mem- bership during the year. New members admitted were ALPHA John Wilson, Carl Black, William Zabler, Wayne Strong- man, Charles Belcher, Ed Roy, John Newberry, John Knight, Henry Kasper, Robert Blaine, Robert Gunn, Robert Jarrett, Eugene Underwood, Harvey Gunderson, Robert Buck, Keith Mossman, Ralph Fuller, Fred Wurtzel, Bruce Turney, Carl Wegener, and Thomas Dew. A large audience was on hand for the 93rd annual Phi Alpha open meeting held April 14. The annual spring formal was held on May 12, the society picnic on May 26, and the Love Feast was held during Commencement Week. Surely the school year of 1938-39 cannot be called unsuccesstul for Phi Alpha Literary Society, an organiza- tion that has been an important factor in Illinois College life since the society was founded in 1845.

SIGMA PHI EPSILON With the initiation of thirteen new members into the society, Sigma Phi Epsilon began a very lucky year. Under the leadership of President Ruth Kilton, the events of the year, both literary and social, were carried through with great pleasure and success. Among the highlights of the autumn social calendar were the Homecoming Cozy in the Top Row: Heaton, Sigma Phip room at the David A. Smith House, which was Pca hess eee well attended by both present and former members, the Rantz, Fancher, J. Hef- i ew tore, Wesdbae tea for honorary members, a breakfast at the Dunlap Hotel Taine Second EReae in honor of a new transfer member, and the Christmas Hudson, Marsh, Kilton, Cozy, which festive occasion was celebrated at the home Scnrood = ian iti jet of Mrs. R. H. Lacey in traditional Christmas style. The see Male Mei society this year also initiated the custom of entertaining antz, McMullin. : : Gamma Delta and Chi Beta at a regular program meeting. Formal installation of officers for the spring term was held at Mrs. Hudson's home, following which the events of the spring season moved along rapidly. Open meeting for Freshmen was based on the theme, ‘Where Shall | Send My Daughter to College? ', the decision being in favor of Illinois College. In March, Mrs. John Robertson, an honorary member of the society, opened her home to Sigma Phi Epsilon for the rush tea, which centered around the little girl’ in program, favors, and refreshments. The climax of the year occurred on May 5 when the spring formal was held at the Jacksonville Country Club. The Sigma Phips were especially lucky in having a beautiful night without a trace of rain. Not long after that the rush party came off. This year it was again held in the form of a progressive dinner, beginning with cocktails at Mrs. Ivan Brouse's home at the edge of town and pro- ceeding to Mrs. F. B. Rantz's home for the main dinner ” and finally to the Little Theater for desert and entertain- SIGMA P a ment. The current rage, the New York World's Fair, was the idea running throughout, each stop representing a dif- EP SINLC N ferent country's exhibit. Last of all, but by no means the least, is the Love Feast to be held during Commencement Week. Financial ventures took a new trend this year with the inauguration of a sandwich and coffee sale at Leafraking and a sale of chrysanthemums at the Homecoming Game, although the age-old rummage sale also played its part. The programs for the fall semester were devoted to visits to outstanding colleges in America, including Bennington College, Smith College, Antioch College, the University of Wisconsin, and the University of Hawaii. During the spring term the society made an interesting study of contempo- rary American women in literature, reviewing and criticiz- ing the works of Edna St. Vincent Millay, Sara Teasdale, Gertrude Stein, Willa Cather, and Pearl Buck. At various times throughout the year Sigma Phi Epsilon was enter- tained for a regular program meeting by Mrs. John John- son and Miss Jenks, Mrs. F. W. Cooke, and Mrs. F. B. Oxtoby, and Mrs. John T. Hackett and Mrs. Sam Osborne. Telephone girls . . . Coffee and doughnuts, ten cents . Saturday night bath ...

GAMMA DELTA Perhaps tradition with just enough innovation to make it all worth while has been the keynote of the twenty-eighth year of Gamma Delta. September 22 will be remembered as the night two radio stations stood by to broadcast the European crisis, excerpts from which eighteen Gamma Deltas will remember as part of the initiation of pledges Pepohew aoe oe at the Dunlap Hotel. One of these pledges, Marjory Rup- xia fia a pert, advertised the first public activity of the year, the Rasa oie Weta eG Chili Supper, with her hand-painted Mexican plates. On Spoonts, Belcher, Glas- November 13 the honorary members and alumnae were ser, Lemm, Lane, Miller. entertained at tea by the society at the David A. Smith Buea ee eos House, and later in the month Gamma Delta was the guest per res gi eta. of Sigma Phi Epsilon at her open meeting. Although the Christmas potluck supper has been a tradition, it was a new experience to this year's active Gamma Deltas, being a forerunner of Mrs. Charles Hopper's delightful Christmas party, which proved to be an exciting tournament of Chinese checkers. And prosaic as rummage sales are, the one for 1939 cannot be overlooked as it well deserves hon- orable mention. Rushing events shared the spring spotlight of activities. On March 12 there was the rush tea, held at the home of Mrs. D. T. Cloud and carrying out the theme of St. Patrick's Day. The rush party, first of the season on the campus, took the form of a progressive dinner, depicting the latest trend in art, ''surrealism.'' Mrs. H. L. New, Mrs. Walter Bellatti, and Mrs. A. R. Gregory each opened their homes to the society for a part of the evening. At various times throughout the year Gamma Delta was entertained by Mrs. John Johnson, Mrs. Hudson, Mrs. F. B. Oxtoby, Mrs. Faye Spoonts, and Mrs. F. W. Cooke. And then, to Lop off the year, there was the spring formal at the Colonial GAMMA Inn on May 20 and the grand finale, the Love Feast, dur- ing Commencement Week. DELTA During the year the programs were something new for Gamma Delta. Forrowing the idea put forth last year, each program was built a unit in itself, some meetings being devoted to art, music, current events, and original contributions, while the very last one was given over to the Seniors’ ''swan songs.'' The society is very proud of the Faculty Women's Trophy which it holds this year, and also of the new ''Gamma Delta Girl, a song arranged by one of the members. Besides having members active in all campus activities, Gamma Delta is fortunate to have among her members: Gertrude May, who was elected to Phi Beta Kappa at the beginning of her senior year; Doro- thy Belcher, Homecoming Queen, and three of her attend- ants; Ruth Rigdon, Junior Prom Queen, and two of her attendants; and Clara Belle Miller, the second woman editor of the ''Rambler.

Beginning with the initiation of new members in September and con- cluding with the charming and traditional Love Feast in June, the society was kept busy with an interesting variety of engagements and duties. One of the nicest things Chi eaten Elliott, ie Beta gives the campus each year is the autumn style show, gree ep ee es and this year's was especially lovely. Fashions fitting a poled Gace college coed's needs for morning, noon and night were modelled by several Illinois College Freshman girls with a background of music and interesting commentary through- out. One event particularly to be remembered was the formal dinner given to welcome the new honorary members and those new members who had transferred from other colleges. Guests of the society were Mrs. E. G. Hildner, Miss Eleanor McFall, Mrs. A. D. Boston, Mrs. H. O. Brogan, Mrs. M. F. Ravely, Miss Mabel Potts and Mrs. Lewark. Anna Marie Elliott and Virginia Crum from Eureka College and Jane Morrison from Blackburn College were also initiated into the society at that time in Chi Beta's traditional candlelight service. During the year the members enjoyed several teas, not to mention the Homecoming and Christ- mas Cozies, and at different times throughout the year Mrs. Hudson, Mrs. F. B. Oxtoby and Mrs. Willis DeRyke entertained the society at their homes for regular program meetings. The spring semester was, of course, filled with events associated with the rushing season. Beginning in February 75 the Preshman coeds were entertained at an open meeting, for which St. Valentine furnished the theme and individual poems the favors. The ''spring motif, ' emphasized in dec- orations and refreshments, harmonized beautifully with stately old David A. Smith House to make the rush tea an especially lovely occasion. And then in May came the rush party, a formal buffet dinner held at the home of Mrs. W. A. Fay and followed, according to the usual custom, by an evening of gay entertainment at a theater party. This year the gay and lilting melody of the currently popu- lar ‘Umbrella Man'' struck the keynote of the occasion. Scholastically, Chi Beta received the highest honors for the first semester of all the societies on the Hill. The literary programs throughout the year centered around the American woman in various historical settings from the Landing of the Pilgrims to the present day. Be- ginning with the Indian woman, her dress, customs, prob- lems, and general life, the theme was carried through the Puritan housewife, Colonial mistress, Southern belle of Civil War days, Western pioneer, and rose of the Gay Nineties to the modern woman of business and society, each era being portrayed as seen through the eyes of the women at that time. A year of success and pleasure closed when old and new members gathered together to share their memories and experiences at the annual Love Feast during Com- mencement Week. Chi Beta Float...

Cooke, success followed success in literary, social, and business lines. The financial ventures for the first semester included an all day candy sale in the hall of Tanner Library, a new idea on the campus. The girls themselves made the candy at Fayerweather House. Shortly after that came the inevit- able rummage sale which was an all around success. The second semester the girls embarked upon a finan- cial orgy, results being a sandwich sale, another entirely new and different plan for earning money. Again Fayer- weather was the work shop. Sandwiches were sold all day in the hall of Tanner Library. A card party was given at the David A. Smith House on March 17. Following the last group of one-act plays, Alpha Eta Pi sponsored a dime dance, one of the first dances to be held in the Old Gym. Early in the fall the girls decided that they wanted to take definite steps toward improving their society room in the David A. Smith House. The Board was only too glad to assist them in their project. Due to the girls’ initiative and the cooperation of the Smith House Board, we find 7é their society room now boasting new wallpaper, new cur- tains, and newly covered chairs. Thus they have estab- lished a precedent for future freshman girls to follow. Programs for the year followed a general theme with ALPHA a number of talks by outsiders providing added interest. Mrs. C. H. Rammelkamp was the first speaker; and she eapy P| told the girls about the founding of David A. Smith House, how it is maintained, and about the signiticance of the various rooms. Dean Hildner was also guest speaker at a later meeting, discussing world affairs. Dean Eleanor Mc- Fall gave a talk on a subject vital to everyone, ''Charm. ' Mr. Irving W. Olds, visitor to the campus and specialist on Japanese culture, spoke on conditions in that country in comparison with those in our own. Mrs. Cooke gave an interesting discussion and display of her hobby, pottery. John Self, Jacksonville High School senior, provided one of the best programs of the year when he gave one of his prize-winning readings. Many of the programs were com- posed of poetry read by society members. The high light of the year was the spring formal held the evening of April 28 at the Colonial Inn. The freshman formal was the first of the society formals; and, due to excellent planning and preparation, was pronounced a huge success by all those attending. An Hawaiian theme was carried out in the decorations, programs, and music. Frosh tea . . , Wearing of the green .. . Dorm nights . . Why don't you go to bed? 77 Burned up... On your nose, freshmen...

At the first of the year the Forum voted to become affiliated with the National Student Federation, member- ship dues being given by an anonymous friend of the col- lege. During the Christmas holidays funds from the same unknown source enabled four students to attend the U.S.F.A. Congress at Purdue University. One of the more important reforms of the year was in the field of election control. Under the new regulations there is a definite procedure of nomination and election that proved to be successful throughout the year. After a thorough study of the problem of women's government the Forum accepted the proposal of the Stu- dent Council to endow the Women's Council with full powers of self government. Upon digging into the records of the college in the early 19th century a provision was found which vests sole power of discipline in the hands of the faculty. Feeling the holidays in celebration of athletic victories are not used most advantageously, the Forum and the Student Council will set up a definite program for each holiday as it is granted. Throughout the second semester the Student Council attempted to set us some feasible way to give Wassermann tests to all students; at this writing plans are nearing com- pletion. OFFICERS Harry Story President Jeanne Rantz Secretary THE FORUM Art Santoorjian Editor Art Hallerberg Editor Ed. Johnston Business Manager “Continuing its policy of handling matters connected eat hes Rig, the Forum appointed the 1939 Rig staff from the entire student body just before the close of the 1938 school year. Juniors Art Santoorjian and Art Hallerberg were selected as editors, and Edward Johnston, a senior, was made business manager for the second year. Mr. M. M. Barlow served as faculty advisor and supervised especially the business matters relating to the book. The remainder of the editorial and business staffs were chosen by this group. This year complete supervision of photography, art work, and write-ups was assumed by the editors, while assistants, representing all four classes, appointed by the editors rendered valuable help in the many details con- nected with the publishing of a yearbook. During the year the Rig staff and the Hilltop players exchanged headquarters, the Rig staff moving their offices into downstairs Tanner. The moving of the Rig room to a more central part on the campus aided considerably in handling the book. The complete statt of the Rig included, besides the co- editors and business manager: junior editors, Mabel Tippitt and Floyd Bertolio; junior business manager, Kenny Baker; editorial staff secretary, Juanita Schroeder; business staff secretary, Dodie Peterson; organizations, Clara Belle Miller: societies, Libba Hudson and Charles Menees; men's sports, Willard Brockhouse and Charles Manoogian; women's sports, Francis Lane; photography, Bobette Ormsby; and typist, Ray Bartels. Standing: Menees, Hudson, Schroeder, Miller, Ormsbee, Bartels, Manoogian, Lane, Brockhouse. Seated: Peter- son, Baker, Mr. Barlow, Johnston, Santoorjian, Hal- lerberg, Tippitt, Bertolio. 84 The Illinois College Rambler, a representative organiza- tion, is under student direction with the guidance of the Rambler Board of Control. The staff consists of co-editors and a business manager chosen from the senior class on the basis of competitive examinations and previous work. To assist the heads there are junior editors and a junior busi- ness manager from the junior class. During the school year 1938-39 Julian Rammelkamp and Robert Fay were co-editors, and the business manager was Clarence Evans. Ted Rammelkamp, Charles Manoo- gian, and Clara Belle Miller served in the capacity of junior editors. Ray Gordon was the business manager. Early in the spring, Ted Rammelkamp and Clara Belle Miller were appointed co-editors and Ray Gordon, business manager for the next college term. The Rambler Board of Control has charge of appointments. For several years it has been the policy of the Rambler to bring to the students of Illinois College and the towns- people of Jacksonville outstanding speakers. This year the Rambler has conducted a successful series of lectures, hav- ing presented speakers well qualified in several fields. The paper is published for the purpose of serving the students, of representing them in their various activities and of bringing news of importance to them. The Rambler uses many students as regular feature and column writers, num- erous students are on the regular reporting staff, and often people who do not write regularly for the paper contribute an idea for publication which they feel should be brought to the attention of the student body.

Rantz, Chap- man, Welker, Glasser, Cress, Kilton. Seated: Miss McFall, Belcher. The Inter-Society Board, a regulatory organization, is set up for the purpose of supervising the activities of the various women’s literary societies on the Hill. Composed of nine members, the Board consists of three representa- tives from each of the societies, one representative being the president. Those sitting on the Board the first semestes were: trom Gamma Delta, Noima Denny, Helen Glasser, and Dorothy Belcher; from Sigma Phi Epsilon, Ruth Kilton, Helen Conlee, and Jeanne Rantz; from Chi Beta, Irene Chapman, Sara Jane Welker, and Rilda Rocci. New members the second semester were: from Gamma Delta, Mary Alice Heflin; from Sigma Phi Epsilon, Elizabeth Hud- son; and from Chi Beta, Hazel Cress. The council is governed by a president, assisted by a secretary and a rush captain. The officers are elected by the Board, but the offices are rotated each year according to societies. The Dean of Women is the supervisor of the group. In the event that a dispute arises regarding the conduct of any society in regard to rushing, bidding, or entertain- ing, the situation is brought before the Board for their judgment. The matter is discussed and the decision rests with the members of the Board. It is the duty of the Board to formulate the rules for the entertainment, the dates, and the natures of rush events. The aim of the Inter-society Board is to establish and up- hold the highest standards of friendship, loyalty, and good- will among the women's literary societies. 86 Standing: B. Rantz, Spoonis, Ruppert, J. Rantz, Hudson, Fraley. Seated: Lane, Denny, Miss McFall, Powell. The first meeting of the W.A.A. was held September 21 at Elliott House. At this time the following officers were elected: Noima Denny, president; Frances Lane, vice-president; Doris Powell, secretary-treasurer. Managers of the various sports were named to serve for the school year of 1938-39. This included the following: J. Heflin, hockey; M. Heflin, basketball; S. Fraley, baseball; M. Spoontz, volleyball; F. Lane, tennis; J. Rantz, golf; B. Rantz, bowling; D. Powell, hiking and bicycling; E. Hudson, bad- minton; M. Ruppert, archery. Plans were then made and discussed for the ensuing school year. Among the activ- ities under the direction of the W.A.A. have been: the annual Freshman Play Day, Sept. 30; Steak Fry for all new members, Oct. 6; Play Day at the U. of Ill., Nov. 12; wiener roast, Nov. 18; dance, Jan. 6; Play Day at Western State Teachers, Jan. 28; and Play Day at MacMurray, March ||. The W.A.A. decided to set aside fifteen dollars for the use of the Illinois College Women's Tennis Team to be used in playing out-of-town matches. Included in the W.A.A. is the Advisory Board composed of the man- agers of all sports, the president of the W.A.A. and the Women's Athletic Director. All business is carried on through this board and all plans originate from it. This year the Board took it upon itself to redecorate the office in the gymnasium where all meetings were to be held. A new fireplace was also constructed in the back of the David A. Smith house to be used for future W.A.A. Steak Fries and Wiener Roasts. OFFICERS Noima Denny President Frances Lane Vice President Doris Powell Secretary W. A.A. SOCIAL COMMITTEE OFFICERS Miss McFall Faculty Chairman Willie Wilton Student Chairman Clara Belle Miller Secretary-Treasurer Rufus Browning Decorations Chairman The Social Committee, an organization for the purpose of promoting social life on the campus, was constituted for the year 1938-'39 in a different manner than had been the case in years previous. Feeling that each of the literary societies should be adequately represented, those in charge of organization resolved that each society should have one representative on the committee. These repre- sentatives met with faculty representatives, and together, the group sponsored many important social affairs during the year. The first meeting was held on September |7, and the following representatives were present: Ruth Kilton, Sigma Phi Epsilon; Clara Belle Miller, Gamma Delta; Irene Chap- man, Chi Beta; Willie Wilton, Gamma Nu: Rufus Browning, Phi Alpha; Bob Gunnison, Sigma Pi. The representative from Sigma Pi was later changed to Gail McWard. The faculty members are: Miss McFall, Dean of Women and chairman of the Committee; Miss Strong, Mr. Ray Smith, Mr. Ned Donahoe, Dr. R. O. Busey, and Mr. H. O. Brogan. It was decided to try to carry out a policy of bringing better music to the college for dances that were to be held during the year, and in keeping with this policy the dances proved to be very successful. Beginning with the Freshman Mixer, and the All-College Mixer in the fall, the calendar of dances continued with the Varsity Swing in October, the Homecoming Dance later in the month, the Leafraking Dance and the Gridiron Hop in November, and the Valentine Dance in February. Standing: G. McWard, Mr. Brogan, Kilton, Mr. Busey, Browning. Seated: Chap- man, Wilton, Miss Strong. 89 The Illinois College Band, although one of the youngest organizations on the campus, has increased in size until enrollment now consists of twenty-eight students. The band was started last year and consisted of twenty-two charter members, who, with the cooperation of the ad- ministration and the student body, made it one of the most successful projects launched by the college. Home football and baseball games gave the band ample opportunity to strut their stuff in colorful forma- tions. The playing of college and martial melodies by the band seemed to add to the already high pitched spirits of the crowd. The band participated in all the civic parades, as well as leading the Homecoming Parade. The first formal appearance of the band this season was December 15, in Jones Chapel, where the band pre- sented their Christmas Concert for the approval of student body and townspeople. Instrumental quartets, vocal solo by Karlynn Rueckert, and participation of the audience in singing of carols added plenty of variety to the band numbers. During the first part of May, the band took a short tour, presenting their May concert before several high schools and civic organizations. This year the band in conjunction with the MacMurray Band, gave a joint con- cert on May 14, repeating the concert at Music Hall, MacMurray College, May 16. Concert numbers were by such well known composers as: Beethoven, Schubert, Holmes, Roberts, Carmichael, and Sousa. The band is under the direction of Elbert Edelbrock, '40.

INTER- SONGS IP Ye DEBATE Clark, Johnston, Fay. Defeating Phi Alpha in the finals of the elimination tournament, Sigma Pi this year won its sixth consecutive inter-society debate championship and annexed the new faculty trophy for the second year. Bob Fay, Edward Johnston, and Bill Clark, the team which took the old faculty trophy out of circulation in 1937 by placing the seventh Sig victory on it, won a close debate and a two to one decision over Phi Alpha this winter, arguing the question: Resolved: That the several states should adopt uni-cameral systems of legislature.'' The Phi team, which had previously defeated Gamma Nu in a preliminary round, was composed of Rufus Browning, John Wilson, and Keith Mossman. The inter-society debate tournament has been a tradi- tional event on the Hill for a number of years. It provides an outlet for the friendly rivalry existing between the societies and offers valuable training in the art of argu- mentative self-expression to the participants. Under the present regulations governing the tournament, the previous winner is not forced to debate in the preliminary rounds of any meet, but clashes with the survivor of the prelim- inaries in the final debate. All debates this year were judged by members of the faculty. Mrs. Miller, Mr. Wright, and Dr. Ravely rendered the decision which gave Sigma Pi its championship. 90 91 Standing: Hayes, Johnston, Piazza, Morley, Wilson. Seated: O'Rourke, Evans, Mr. Wright, Rantz. Debating the question: ''Resolved: that the United States should cease to use public funds (including credit) for the purpose of stimulating business,'' the men's varsity debate council concluded a successful season with an extended tour of the South. The tour, which lasted two weeks and which covered three thousand miles, was cli- maxed by participation in the Grand Eastern Tournament at Rock Hill, South Carolina. During the course of the season, the men's debate council debated teams from the University of llinois, Marquette University, James Millikin University, Macomb State Teachers’ College, and Eastern Illinois State Teach- ers’ College, while both men and women debaters took part in a tournament at Charleston, Illinois. Members of the men's debate council were: Nick Piazza, Jo hn Wilson, Gene Hayes, Clarence Evans, Richard Morley, Keith Mossman; Ed. Johnston, business manager. The women's debate council, of which Catherine O'Rourke was manager, consisted of Miss O'Rourke and Jeanne Rantz. Each year prizes—the George Gridley Wood Prizes in Freshman Debate—are awarded to outstanding fresh- men debaters. This year the awards went to Keith Moss- man of Vinton, lowa; Ralph Thomson of Jacksonville, and Fred Wurtzel, of Freeport. VARSITY DEBATE WOMEN'S CHORUS OFFICERS Esther Marsh President Karlynn Rueckert Secretary-Treasurer Elizabeth Hudson Librarian The Women's Chorus of Illinois College began another season filled with enjoyable programs by participating in the Founder's Day program in November. Their very capable director, Mrs. Helen Brown Read, and their faith- tul accompanist, Miss Mahala McGehee gave the twenty girls excellent training and moral support for their ap- pearances before various women's organizations, men's clubs, and several local churches. The Women's Chorus participated in the Christmas Chapel Service. The high- lights of their 1938-39 season include a very excellent performance in a splendid costume recital at one of the local churches in March. But the Women's Chorus reached the peak of excellency in a very successful year filled with topnotch pertormances on the night of May |0 when they officially closed their fine season of work with a formal concert at Baxter Hall. The concert was followed by a dance for the members of the Chorus and their guests. Not content with appearances at local social affairs, the Chorus made a trip to Springfield in April. The Chorus actually closed their season with their performances at Baccalaureate and Commencement. Thus, with local per- formances, appearances out of town, and presentations on the campus, the Illinois College Women's Chorus ended a happy and successful year—as one of the outstanding campus organizations.

The season of appearances before school and civic groups in Jacksonville and the surrounding terri- tory was climaxed with the annual concert presented in Baxter Hall early in May. In addition to the regular Glee Club, the organization includes an octette and a quartet, these smaller groups making a number of appearances away from the college. The quartet, among other engage- ments furnished music for the Chicago and the Peoria alumni meetings and took part in school broadcasts. Larry Corrigan, member of the Glee Club, octette, and quartet, led the organization as its president throughout the year. Each fall any men interested in joining the organization may try out for a place with the Glee Club. The ad- vantages it offers in training young men both in musician- ship and the presentation of public concerts is invaluable. The Glee Club meets once a week during its regular season. Though it has numerous public programs during the year, its prime purpose is to give college men an oppor- tunity for enjoyment and greater appreciation of recog- nized good music. Prof. Cleeland's skillful supervision has developed the organization to a high degree of efficiency along this line. Top Row: Roy, Berkemeyer, Lippert, Streuter, Hiller, C. Menees, Clark.

A series of plays, traditionally popular on the Hill, was presented to the college audience and to the drama fans of Jacksonville and the surrounding territory. The Hilltop Players opened their season in October with three one-act plays. The overflow crowds which at- tended the production of ''The Still Alarm,'' ''The Lovely Miracle, and the mellerdramer, ''Fireman Save My Child, sent the year off to a flying start and prompted the move to the gymnasium for the remainder of the season. In January the Players cooperated with the ''I'' Club in the latter's production of the first annual ''Varsity Show. Another group of one-acts followed a short time after, “No, Not the Russians,’ ''Murder at Mr. Loring's,'’ and “The Small Miracle, written by Mr. Donahoe with the writer in the leading role, broke all records for attendance at one-act series. The annual spring three-act play, this year, ''The Bishop Misbehaves, ' was given in April and entertained a large crowd of students and townspeople with its fast moving plot and rib-tickling whimsy. Much of the credit for the success of the Hilltop Players must go, as always, to the whole hearted coopera- tion of the faculty and student body, whose support furnished the players with necessary incentive for greater achievement. 94 95 Top Row: Jacobs, Lorenz, Thompson, Hamm, Cooper.

The 'l'' Club has become, during the past several years, one of the most successtul and powerful organizations on the Illinois College campus. Its membership is composed of those men who have earned the varsity monogram in any department of intercollegiate athletics. The primary object of the ''l'’ Club is, of course, the betterment and advancement of the athletic program on the Hill. This objective manifests itself in various ways. The gifts of the club to the Southern tours of the tennis and golf teams are but one phase of their aid to student organ- izations. They also regulate the use of the school letter, provide active backing and support to campus affairs other than athletics, hold discussions about various athletic problems at their regular meetings, and maintain a contact with alumni who were former ''l'' Club members. During the past year, the ''l'' Club entered the promo- tional field, first sponsoring the Varsity Show and later staging a boxing and wrestling exhibition. Both events were highly successful, and the Varsity Show is intended to be made an annual event. This year's show was a farce of old melodrama, ''Ten Nights in a Bar-room and in- cluded two dancing chorine groups of our burly athletes, besides an old-time barbershop quartette.
