Wieie, (Ek WE The “I Club was organized in 1922 to promote interest in athletics and athletes at Illinois College. Membership in the club is not confined solely to lettermen as the name would imply, but on the contrary em- braces all those students and alumni who are interested in athletics. Only lettermen, how- ever, may hold office. The club’s main purpose is to foster friendly relations between athletes, other members of the student body, and the facul- ty. The club promotes athletic activities through the medium of aid to athletes when necessary, either by finding jobs or through a direct financial loan. In addition, it seeks to foster student body interest in athletics through the encouragement of good sports- manship. The club’s slogan might very well be, to borrow from a sports announcer, « 28 Jim Spink, Jerry Ryan, Robert Clark, Howard De- Groot, Ralph Christisen, Richard Bond, Charles Due, Don Longer, Bernard Vilk, William Wil- liams, Kenneth Gill, Joe Hill. “You don't have to participate in sports to be a good one.” To raise funds, the club has charge of concessions at sports events and school dances. One of the sports highlights of the year is the annual “Il” Club banquet at which an outstanding sports personality is the guest and main speaker. “TI Man's Day each year is a day set aside to welcome former lettermen who return as guests to a sporting event and a dance given in their honor.
