On October 1, 1950, a mass meeting was held in the auditorium to introduce the Wfomens League to the women on the campus, and to divide the women into districts. On October 21. 1950, Dean Leonard of the University of Illinois spoke to the women on the Four-Square Aspect of Life. Her cornerstones were emotional growth, intellectual growth, moral growth, and spiritual growth, She urged every girl to develop along these four lines. On December 18, 1930, the WOI11CH'S League sponsored a program of Christmas music given by the Girls' Glee Club in Capen Auditorium. ORGANIZATIONS 97 RAMSEYER Cox RASMUSSEN PIERCE ' GOODWILL ROLLINS Women's League Among the social events sponsored by the League are: October 3, 1930, with the Varsity Club, an all school dance in the McCormick Gymnasium. December 12, 1930, small girls' party in the Women's Gym, january 21, 1931, the first of a series of teas was given in Miss Barton's office, and about three hundred women came.

Treasurer, and Norris Mitts. Secretary. The Club feels indebted to its sponsor, Dean Ralph H. Linkins, for his untiring efforts and keen interest in all the Clubs activities. At the first of the Fall term the Varsity Club made its plans for the year. Pledge buttons were given to the incoming Freshmen who welcomed the chance of becoming members. About forty pledges appeared at the informal initiation which was held in McCormick Gymnasium. They were sent through The Initiation, which only the Varsity Club knows how to administer, by the senior members of the Club. On the following Sunday, the regular formal initiation was held at Fell Hall, and the pledges became active members of the Club. A Some of the most outstanding dances during the Fall term were held by the Varsity Club. Among these was the 'Thanksgiving dance given in the Woinen's Gymnasium The setting was well-arranged and artistic. The orchestra was placed in the center of a circle of corn stalks. Shocks of corn were placed in various parts of the room. A large harvcst moon together with spot and flood lights gave a remarkably realistic effect. The regular Varsity Club Fall term dance was held at Fell Hall. Lee Homebrook's orchestra of Decatur furnished the music. The dance floor was softly lighted by amber colored lights. The fireplace added a touch of warmth and glow to the setting. ORGANIZATIONS 99 The annual Christmas Service was held on December 14 before the holidays. This year's service may be placed beside those of prior years as the most outstanding service of its kind during the year. The Capen Auditorium stage was artistically packed with glisten- ing, well-lighted evergreens. In the center, with large burning candles on either side, stood a bust of the Madonna. The address was delivered by Mr. Morton of Bloomington. Candles and wreaths placed in the windows added to the beauty and spirit of the occasion. The Winter term dance was held at Fell Hall. A silhouette of George and Martha Washington was placed over each light bulb in one part of the dance Hoot. In the other, a series Of red, white and blue lights gave the desired historical effect. Lee Home- brook's orchestra furnished the music. Throughout the year the Varsity Club has featured all-school dances as well as closed dances, and the open dances have been a big factor in increasing the social edu- cation of the student body. The outstanding dance sponsored by the Club was held April 25 at Maplewood Country Club. The Arcadians of Peoria did an excellent job of playing for the dance The Varsity Club week-end with the annual Stunt Show on May 8 and the Mothers Day service on Sunday, May 10, were days filled with unforgettable memories. The Picnic Dance on june 6 paid a tribute to the athletes of the school who won recognition in spring sports. Their letters were awarded at the banquet, and the Varsity Club wound up a year of commendable activity. 100 UNIVERSITY Student Council H. A. REYNOLDS P. BOVA R. 'WILSON M.

The Wriglits buried a six-year old jinx and captured the judges' decisions, making the final score five to two. The contestants who competed in helping to win this glorious victory for Wriglmtonia were: Virginia Swanson, Daniel Coffey, debate, Alice Wynne Hall, reading, Edward Buehrig, orationg Ruth I-Iunter, piano, Rosie Rasmussen, extemporaneous speaking, Wfalter Murray, voice, with Lorraine Frederick as accompanist. This aggressive spirit which characterized the contest of '31 was not only evident at the beginning of the year but has been gathering so much momentum as to make this an unforgettable year for Wfrightonia. An unusual number of new projects have been put underway as represented both in the programs and the activities of the Society. The old record books dating from 1859 were found, and have greatly increased interest in the history of the organization. For the hrst time in many years, Wriglitonitt pledged her new members with an impressive formal Initiation Service, as well as with one of an informal nature. De- parting from the usual custom of having a Christmas Candlelight Service, the Wriglits ORGANIZATIONS 107 entertained the Phils with a Christmas party, followed by a program built around a radio broadcast. On March 26, four of the winning contestants of the Phil-Wlright contest broad- casted their numbers from Station WMBD at Peoria in a Wrightonian Literary Society Program. Those broadcasting were: Alice Wyfnne Hall, Ruth Hunter, Edward Buehrig, Walter Murray, and Lorraine Frederick. Because the Wriglitonians wished to rehabilitate their hall, they held a rummage sale early in April to raise money toward forwarding this project. Among the unusual programs of the year were: A St. Valentines Party, an Ex- temporaneous Program, a St. Patricks Day Program, and the programs given by the D. and E. Groups. In the spring term these groups under the chairmanship of Edward Buehrig and Lorraine Frederick conducted a contest to determine which presented the better programs. At the end of the series of programs the losers entertained the winners with a picnic. The most enjoyable social event was the party at which Mr. and Mrs. Harper entertained the Wriglitonittns in their home. Wrightonia was well represented in the literary contests of the year. Rosie Ras- mussen and Daniel Coffey competed in the Livingston Cup Contest. Edward Buehrig, Alice W'ynne Hall, and Helen Beckenholdt competed in the Edwards Medal Contest, Mr. Buehrig and Miss Hall winning medals. Mr. Buehrig won first place in Oratory in the State Teachers College meet, second place in the State Oratorical Meet, first place in the Pi Kappa Delta provincial convention, and third place in the Interstate Oratorical Meet at Cedar Falls, Iowa. On the intercollegiate varsity debating teams were Virginia Swanson, Cleda Nitzel, Dorrell Kildufl, Rosie Rasmussen, Daniel Colley, and Edward Buehrig. The progressive spirit of the Society this year has been in a large measure due to the inspiration and untiring efforts of our muchaesteemed sponsor, Prof. C. A. Harper.

PALMER Although the record of Philadelphia is not as glowing with victory as in previous years, it is a record which stands out vividly even in defeat. and the outlook for coming years has never been brighter. For the first time a reception was held for the nominal members of Philadelphia, and much interest was created in the organization. As a result a large number appeared for tryouts for active membership, and the quota was soon filled. One of the most vivid memories of this year is that of the qwriglironia Christmas party. The friendly enemies from the opposite end of the hall proved the most capable and royal hosts, and the Phils enjoyed a line lunch and a splendid radio broadcast program. Before Christmas vacation preparations for the annual clash with the Wriglits were in full swing. The Phil representatives were Harold Conger and Clarence A. Miller, ORGANIZATIONS 109 debate, Dewey Fristoe, oratoryg Maurine Chapman, readingg Rudolph Schwarz, vocal, Emma Kohl, piano, and jean Eddy, extempote. While the Phils failed to extend their string of victories to seven, it was a glorious contest to lose, since each event was closely contested. The debate was won by the Phils, thus keeping clean a long record of seven consecutive victories. On March 7, a banquet was held honoring the contestants, Talks were given by several of the contestants, and Herman Stoltz presented a contest banner to the society. To show the society's appreciation for Mr. Palmer's inspiring and untiring eltorts, a fountain pen desk set was presented to him by Rudolph Schwarz. Phil members were active in the various campus speech events. Alma Ramseyer, Harold Conger, Clarence Miller, and Dewey Fristoe were members of the debate teams, all four representing I.S.N.U. at the Pi Kappa Delta provincial convention. Dewey Fristoe and Maurine Chapman participated in the Edwards Medal Contest. Dewey Fristoe won first place in the W'orld Peace oratorical contest at Wheaton College. A number of out-of-town programs were also given by the Phils. One of the most enjoyable occasions of the year in the minds of the members was the annual meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Palmer on April 20. A special program was given, followed by an intellectual entertainment and a fine lunch. The last event of the year was the Phil picnic at Lake Bloomington on May 11. Everyone enjoyed the out-of-doors program given beside the campfire. As the year ends the Phils are looking forward to next year with high hopes of victory. 110 UNIVERSITY Y. W. C.

All of the members of the society, with the exception of one, were active in forensic work and earned higher degrees. The eleven delegates from I.S.N.U. who were sent to the regional convention at Oshkosh, Wisconsin, won more honors than those from any other college. Dorothy Warlow and Edward Buehrig won first honors in oratory, Rosie Rasmussen won third in extemporaneous speaking, the womens debate teams, con- sisting of Alma Ramseyer, Virginia Swanson, Cleda Nitzel, and Dorrell Kilduff, reached the semi-finals, the men's debate teams, consisting of Daniel Coffey, Dewey Fristoe, Clarence A. Miller, and Harold Conger, tied for a place in the semi-finals. Edward Buehrig and Helen Beckenholdt placed second and third, respectively, in the state oratorical contest. In the state teachers' college contest, Mr. Buehrig placed first in oratory and Atwood Reynolds placed second in extemporaneous speaking. The organization also sponsored 1 rummage sale which served as a form of charity and which added to the chapters treasury. The sale was pronounced a success in every respect. U The members of Pi Kappa Delta feel that their very successful year has been due in a large measure to the efforts of Dr. Fred S. Sorrenson, head of the speech depart- ment, and Dr. C. F.

The fraternity's initiation and homecoming banquet were held on October 10. Social meetings were given at the homes of Miss Day, Miss Webb, and Miss Peters. Beginning with the winter term, regular meetings were held on the third Tuesday of each month, at which time both business and social activities were carried on. The March meeting was held in Mr. R.

KINNEMAN The social science organization was founded on this campus in january, 1929, with less than twenty charter members. By the end of the year it had become one of the most active organizations on the campus. So much interest was manifested in the local organization that late in the spring of 1.930 it became afhliated with the national honorary social science fraternity, Pi Gamma Mu. An individual is eligible to Pi Gamma Mu in his junior or senior year if he has an average of 85 or above in eight social science subjectsg however, it was recognized that many people would be interested in the organization before these requirements were fulfilled so the early Social Science club was continued as a co-organization, the require- ment being an average of 85 in six social science subjects. The wide range in the programs has consisted of bool-c reviews and research by active student members, by alumni, by social workers in the field, and by classes on the campus. At the present time the Illinois Theta chapter of Pi Gamma Mu includes thirty-eight alumni members and twcnty-one members on the campus, including thirteen students and eight faculty members. The Social Science club has eleven members, two of which are on the campus at the present time. . 118 UNIVERSITY . ' ' 41 i 'y . ,,, - ef- 1- Kappa Phi Kappa Alpha Tau chapter of Kappa Phi Kappa, national education fraternity, was estab- lished on the Illinois State Normal University campus on May 2, 1951. Great satisfac- tion is felt in having introduced such a well-known fraternity to the University, inasmuch as the organization is restricting its chapters to institutions of outstanding accomplish- ments in the field of education. The only other teachers college thus far granted a chapter is the Teachers College at Albany, New York, which is restricted to the prepara- tion of high school teachers only. The purpose of the fraternity is to promote the cause of education by encouraging men of sound moral character and recognized ability to engage in the study of its prin- ciples and problems. In order to bring about this purpose, the fraternity proposes to emphasize among its members social intercourse, scholarly attainment, and professional ideals. The installation was held at the Illinois Hotel, followed by a banquet. The prin- cipal speakers of the evening were Dean Will Chambers of Pennsylvania State College, and Arthur D. Wriglit, Professor of Education at Dartmouth College, national president and national secretary of Kappa Phi Kappa respectively. The charter members of the local chapter are: President H. A. Brown, Dr. C. F. Malmberg, Dr. H. A. Peterson, C. E. Decker, M. Holmes, T. Lancaster, L. W. Hacker, Melvin Story, C. H. Martin, Daniel Coffey, E. B. Roller, Rollo Lechner, Paul johnson, A. L.

The purpose of the club is to promote a general goodfellowship among the students and teachers, and to give instruction to students as to the organization and programs of a Commerce Club in a high school. ' Initiation was held in the early fall and two regular meetings and a social event were held each term under the supervision of various commerce classes and their respective instructors. The Commerce Club were guests of Pi Omega Pi at a joint meeting held in March. At this meeting the meaning and requirements for entrance to Pi Omega Pi were discussed by the president of that organization. Miss jane Church, the sponsor, and the entire Commerce faculty deserve much credit for their worthy leadership, spirit of cooperation, and competent planning.

JOSEPHINE Corin' The Kindergarten Club, which is made up of the faculty and students of the Kinder- garten Department, has a membership this year of over ninety members. The club has as its purpose the promotion of social relationships and the discussion of problems which relate to the education of young children. A number of social events were held during thc- year. Early in- October the big sisters entertained their little sisters at a kid party, which was also the initiation party for the incoming Freshmen. A lovely background for the annual Christmas party was formed by the beautiful Christmas tree which adorned the kindergarten room. The reading by Eloise McMillan of the story, The Great XValled Country, was made most impressive amid the reflec- tion from the softly shaded lights. Early in May C1 delightful bridge party was held at which one hundred Kindergarten Club members and their guests were entertained. As a climax to the year, the annual banquet was given by the Freshmen honoring the Sophomores who have now completed the two-year kindergarten primary course. ORGANIZATIONS I 23 Kindergarten Club The Club has participated in the activities of the school throughout the year. The stunt, Different Types of Hoboesj' won first place in the Homecoming Hobo Parade. Over one hundred active members and alumni enjoyed the Homecoming luncheon which was held at the Normal Methodist church. At each of the monthly meetings a talk was given by some members of the faculty. Art for the Beginner was the subject discussed by Miss Florence Tilton in the November meeting. Miss Dorothy Hinman spoke on Childrens Books and displayed a most interesting book collection in connection with her talk. Miss Helen Palmer, state psychologist at the Soldiers' Orphans' Home, delivered a discourse upon The Problem Child. The Hygiene of the School Child was discussed by the school physician, Dr. Rachel M. Cooper. Miss Neva McDavitt spoke in the April meeting on Helping Children Enjoy Nature. The Convention Report of the Association for Childhood Education was given in the May meeting by Miss Margaret E, Lee. The credit for the activities and successes of the work of the Kindergarten Club this year is due largely to the efforts of Miss Margaret E.

HAMMERLUND The Industrial Arts club is an organization of students and teachers who are inter- ested in making the four years spent in school as interesting and profitable as possible. Its aim is to bring the teachers and students of this department more closely together in 11 social way, and to foster fellowship which could not otherwise exist. This purpose has been accomplished through open discussion of topics of interest at club meetings and through talks by faculty members and men prominent in the field of industrial arts outside the school. A recreational hour of bowling and swimming has proved very desirable. One of the outstanding activities of the year was the Yuletide party at which bowling, dancing, indoor golf, and cards were the main attractions. As a club project a survey of all the high schools of the state was made and the data tabulated. The purpose of this project was to find what possibilities there are in the field of industrial arts. An educational tour of some of the better factories and schools was made in the spring in order to study the present industrial methods and their relation to the teaching of industrial arts. l ORGANIZATIONS 125 Art Club Paeridezzz . . . .. ....

One of the most outstanding events of the year, Homecoming, was well looked forward to by the Art Club. The stunt which represented the club in the parade was a representation of The Art of Walking Back. It was such a novelty that it attracted much attention. A banquet was held at the Village Inn during the luncheon hour, and was attended by a large number of alumni. This is an annual event and is looked forward to each year. The Art Club All-School Valentine Dance proved to be the most successful in several years. Music was furnished by Mike Ryan's orchestra. A very beautiful colored lighting effect was carried out in the decorations. The Art Club was represented in the Varsity Club Stunt Show, and won the iirst prize with the stunt The Crystal Tree. Although the club has been handicapped in many ways during the past year, it has had one of its most successful years in its history. 1 126 UNIVERSITY Primary Te achers' Club Preridenf .... . . ....

ORGANIZATIONS 131 National Grange The Maize Grange was organized in Normal June 3, 1930, with a charter member- ship of twenty-six. The chapter was brought upon the University campus on February 10, 1931. At this time the first and second degrees were conferred upon thirty-six candidates, most of whom were students and faculty members of I.S.N.U. The Maize Chapter of the National Grange is one of the 8000 local chapters which make up the National Grange. The National organization is the oldest and strongest agricultural organization in the United States. The Grange has functioned for over sixty years and at the present time has a membership of over one million members. The General objects of the National Grange are as follows: 1. United by the strong and faithful tie of Agriculture, we mutually resolve to labor for the good of our Order, our country, and mankind. 2. We heartily endorse the motto: In essentials, unity, in non-essentials, libertyg and in all things, charity. The local chapter on the Normal University campus, together with the chapter on the campus of the University of Illinois, makes Illinois the only state in the union having two collegiate chapters of the Grange.

Regular meetings are held at 7:00 o'clock Thursday evening of the third, seventh, and eleventh weeks. New members are elected each term. It is the purpose of the organization to offer to its members opportunities to study and discuss problems and topics in mathematics for which there is no time offered in the regular classes of the school. The opportunity is also given to keep abreast of the present movements and accomplishments in the held of mathematics and to consider topics beyond the scope of the present curriculum. In addition, there are the benefits which are derived from social and professional contacts with those interested in mathematics. During the year many interesting and instructive programs have been presented. The first meeting of the year was a social meeting at which the members of the Circle were the guests of Professor and Mrs. Mills at a picnic supper at Weldon Springs on October 11. The members and alumni of the Circle met at the Campus Inn for the third annual Homecoming breakfast. Other social meetings were held during the winter and spring terms.

Beginning the year with an active membership of tried Jesters, the first event of im- portance staged was the Homecoming play reception after the Saturday night performance of The Nut Farm. The dramatic peak of the year's activities was reached in the dithcult and successful production of Cock Robin, the annual Jester-Theta Alpha Phi play. In addition the organization has cooperated with Theta Alpha Phi in the produc- tion of two one-act plays, Two Crooks and a Lady, directed by Ruth Bowman, and His First Dress Suit, directed by Cleda Nitzel. Events long to be remembered by Jesters, and especially by neophytes, are the hilarious midnight and early morning initiations in the dead of winterg the breakfasts served at the home of Mr. Corrington after initiationsg the royal entertainment by Miss Hammarlund at her home: and the picnic at the close of the year. 134 UNIVERSITY Latin Club Preiidefzf .... ..,. ....

At that time Miss Parker of Bloomington High School gave an interesting account of the Vergilian Cruise which she recently took. An enjoyable Christmas party was held at which epigrams of Martial were given and gifts exchanged. Other meetings dealt with Vergil, Roman women and other subjects of interest to the Latin student. As a climaxi, the year was closed with a Roman banquet which was held May 12, at the Y.W.C.A. in Bloomington. The lively interest, the cooperation of the members of the club, and the assistance of the sponsor have made the work of the Latin Club during the past year very successful.

There was a small group of young men who indicated an interest in debating and expressed a desire to continue the organization on a no-credit basis. And so, in spite of predictions to the contrary, it has carried on. During the fall term the constitution was revised to conform to the new conditions. The questions debated during the year were generally those of real interest, and some very good work was done. As sponsor, Prof. Richard Browne not only was extremely helpful with suggestions and criticisms, but introduced a method of systematic judging that gave everyone some experience in formulating debate decisions. A few meetings were devoted to informal programs. On one occasion, Mr. Kinne- man, a former sponsor, spoke to the group. During the spring term a club team com- posed of Edwin Schaefer and Rudolph Schwarz debated a team representing the Woinen's Debate Club. Those who understand the motives and possibilities of the Men's Debate Club are anxious to see it continue, for it gives an opportunity for practice in public speaking, systematic thinking, and free discussion of current questions not available elsewhere in the school. 1 36 UNIVERSITY 35- 'Rt'- Women's Debate Club Fu!!

During the past year the club has gone far in achieving its purpose. The fall term was devoted to a series of debates on current topics. In the winter term several discussion meetings were held, at one of which Professor Fred S. Sorrenson addressed the club. The Men's Debate Club was challenged to a debate with the WOm6l1'S Debate Club on the subject, Resolved, that a vocational education is a better preparation for life than a cultural education. The men accepted the challenge and the debate was held on May 15, 1951, following a dinner at the Campus Inn. Inez Butz and Cleda Nitzel represented the women's club in upholding the negative side of the question. Early in the fall the club held a picnic supper which was followed by an initiation of new members. A Christmas party was given at the Y.W.C.A. rooms for members of the club just preceding Christmas vacation. Miss McKown entertained the club at a May breakfast. Miss Cleo B.

Alumni and members have shown a great deal of interest in the club's activities, and the active membership has been larger than ever before. ORGANIZATIONS I 39 The Apportionment Board The Apportionment Board underwent a reorganization on the advent of the new administration. Among the changes which were made was the placing of the sum- mer school funds which had hitherto been apportioned by the summer school faculty into the hands of the apportionment board. Up to this year the University High School funds had always been apportioned by the board, but this year the money was placed entirely in the hands of the High School to be divided as they saw lit. This removed the necessity for a high school representative on the board. In order to make the board more truly representative of the student body, as well as taking into consideration the increase in the power and responsibilities of the body, the number of student representatives was increased from two to live members. The present organization consists of the following members: President Brown, Dr. R. G. Buzzard, and Prof. H. W. Adams from the facultyg Henry LaRue Pitts, Ralph Bates, Dorothy Fitzgerald, Lillian Chambers, and Georgene Larson from the student body. The last three were elected after the reorganization in the fall, and will serve for a period of two years. The two members to be elected in the spring elections will also serve for two years instead of one as it has been in the past. The apportionments this year were made on the basis of a budget drawn up and worked out by the board, after it had first made a careful analysis of the requests for funds from the various student organizations. .

I-IoRToN This is the second year that Illinois Alpha Chapter of Gamma Phi has functioned at Illinois Stare Normal University. Gamma Phi is an honorary gymnastic fraternity, having high standards for qualification for membership. The objectives of Gamma Phi are: to promote the interest of physical education among the students of the university and to honor gymnastic excellence in the individual members of the student body and faculty of the university by election to membership. Gamma Phi is under the direct supervision of Mr. Horton, the head director of physical education. During the year Gamma Phi has sponsored many physical education demonstrations at banquets, business meetings, and in neighboring high schools. Gamma Phi had a large Pilft in the Bloomington Y.M.C.A. circus, the Peoria Y,M.C.A. gym meet, and the Normal Legions show. C. E, Horton, physical education director and sponsor, deserves a great deal of credit for the enthusiastic manner in which he has helped to promote the welfare and success of the organization.

Coctmt The N Club, the lettermens organization at l.S.N.U., and one of the most exclusive organizations on the campus, completed its hfth year of existence in l931. Only the men who have won their emblem in athletics for State Normal are eligible for membership. The N Club is one with high ideals and aims, proposing to promote good fellow- ship among the varsity athletes, to obtain higher scholastic attainment among varsity men, and to improve the morale of the athletes Among the years achievements of this club were the organizing of the alumni letter- men at Homecoming, the sale of athletes' pictures to the student body, and the sponsoring of the State Normal School Track trnd Field Meet on the second of May. 152 ACTIVITIES Athletic Committee The Athletic Board of Control which formerly had charge of the conducting of intercollegiate athletics at l.S.N.U. was abolished this year and replaced by the Athletic Committee. The new ruling body is composed of nine faculty members and live members from the student body. President Harry A. Brown selected the following faculty members to serve on the committee: W. A. L. Beyer, R. W. Fogler, Margaret M. Batto, Christian E. Harpster, C. A. Harper, T. Lancaster, M. Holmes, joseph T. Cogdal, C. E. Horton, and Clyde W. Hudelson. From the student body, the following students were elected to serve: Virginia Swanson, senior, Roland Zook, junior, Henry LaRue Pitts, sophomore. and Clayton Frey and james Goff, freshmen. The Committee has sole control of intercollegiate athletics at Old Normal. It is empowered to make all rules concerning the conduct of athletes, make all awards to students competing in intercollegiate athletics, and has the full authority in making and approving the athletic schedules. This year the Committee, as one of its first acts, put the training rules on a new basis with suspension as the penalty for violation of the new and more simple rules. It also awarded the championship basketball team members special letters and sweaters, thus changing the awards for all future championships.

In only three of the games were they outplayed, for in the remainder of the contests they outgained and outplayed their opponents, but the ever--present bad breaks went against them, CHAR1.13sToN l54lXlORMAL O The Redbirds dropped their opener to the powerful Eastern Teachers at Charleston. The Redbirds showed a world of defensive power, but their offense was woefully weak. The Charleston team dropped one game during the season, indicating that the Cogdalmen drew a tough opponent in their debut. ST. VIATOR 6kNOllMAL O Although they outplayed the Irish in every department of the game the breaks were against the Redbirds, and they dropped their Homecoming battle in a 6-0 heartbreaker. A Normal fumble gave the Saints their scoring chance and they took advantage of it, while numerous Normal scoring chances went awry. FOOTBALL 1 55 P13112 Rsoisi SCHWATZBAUGH GRIMES Fnoscier ELBERT SHANNON. Manager SCHWENN, Manager HONEFENGER Football CARBONDALE 39--NORMAL 0 After playing on even terms for almost three quarters the Redbirds folded up and allowed a close game to be turned into a rout. With the score only 6-O for three quarters the Normal crew had held their own with the Conference champs, but a blocked punt broke the morale and four intercepted passes in the last quarter resulted in as many touchdowns. EUREKA 12--NORMAL 6 As a result of disciplinary measures which suspended twenty men for the game Coach Cogdal was only able to put a patched up lineup on the field against the Christians, but the boys fought hard and it was only through a costly Redbird fumble in the last quarter that allowed Eureka to push over the winning touchdown. A pass, Neill to Wenger resulted in the Normal touchdown, but it was not enough. MACOMB 7-NORMAL 3 This game should have been chalked up for the Cogdalrnen for they were the superior team throughout. The Westerners were inside the Normal 40 yard line only once, yet a long pass on that occasion brought about the winning touchdown. The Red- birds on the other hand were within a yard of a touchdown twice during the contest. A beautiful field goal by Kingery gave the Normal eleven a three point lead which they held for three-quarters until the Hansonmen scored. 1 56 ACTIVITIES Football DEKALB 19-NORMAL 7 A Turkish tornado, named Mustapha, posing as a Dekalb halfback was all that kept the Redbirds from trouncing the Northerners. The Cogdalmen outgained their opponents, but two touchdowns by Mustapha proved too much. Kingery plowed over for the Normal touchdown and added the point to make the score 12-7 but an intercepted pass gave the Northerners a gift touchdown that cost the game, which ended with the Normal crew two yards from a touchdown. NORMAL 12-MCKENDREE 7 A rejuvenated Redbird eleven stung by their string of defeats turned on a strong McKendree eleven and pushed over a pair of touchdowns to garner the initial win. A 50-yard sprint by Kingery after taking a pass from Neill brought about the first touch- down, and a sixty yard march down the held culminated in the second marker by Pinkstaif. WEsLEx'AN 46--NORNIAL 6 The powerful running attack of the Titans built around Presley, Cooke, and Williamson proved too much for Normal, and they succumbed for the eight straight year to the southern neighbors. A long pass from Neill to Smith gave the Redbird rooters their only chance to holler. :ic S: x 3: :is At the end of the season the committee on awards voted letters to the following men' Howard Aldrich, Francis Wenger, Walton Ruebush, Thomas Neill, Gerald Drum, Hooper Arnold, Stanley Sleever, Louis Striegel, Louis McFadden, and Managers Floyd Schwenn and James Shannon. BASKETBALL I 53 ACTIVITIES ll Lama.- Q, CAPTAIN DORRENCE RSD DARLINC. Captain Dorrence Red Darling of State Normal's Championship basketball team was named the most valuable player in the conference by a vote of the Little Nineteen Coaches following the 1951 cage season, and was awarded the Peoria journal-Transcripts Most Valuable Player Trophy. Darling won the award by an impressive margin over nineteen other candidates brought out in the state wide poll of college mentors. The little redhead polled eighteen votes as compared to 12 apiece for Billy Meehan of Wesleyan and Pim Golf of Normal. Ike Zook and Les Moore, also of Normal, had five votes apiece, thus giving Normal four men in the voting. In speaking of Darling, Kenneth jones, sport editor of the Peoria Journal-Transcript, said Although he stands but 5 feet 8 inches in height and weighs but 148 pounds, Dorrence Darling, sophomore star of the State Normal basketball aggregation which won undisputed rights to the conference title this year, was voted the most valuable player trophy. Darling was given preference because of his excellent judgment under fire, his spectacular defensive work, and his ability to score points in emergencies. And what more could any coach ask of a defensive player? BASKETBALL I 59 I.I.A.C. CHAMPIONS Basketball Coasting through a conference schedule of thirteen games with only one defeat, the 1931 State Normal basketball team won the Little Nineteen cage title, and then went on to annex the Normal schools tourney to climax the greatest basketball season in the history of the school. Displaying as powerful an offence as has been seen in conference circles in years, joe Cogdals Redbirds stamped themselves as one of the finest collection of stars in the state. With Pim Goff, the leading scorer in the conference, and Ike Zook, a brilliant shooter, dribbler, and ball handler paired at the forward berths, Les Moore, all conference center, at the pivot position, and all-conference Red Darling mated with Sis Swartz- baugh at the defensive posts, the Cogdalmen presented an unstoppable front. The reserve strength was on a par with the first team. In Ralph Kingery, Bob Rowe, Dick Peterson, and Jimmie Tatman, Cogdal had a quartet of forwards that could step into the lineup at any time without weakening it. Stretch Miller's six foot four inches filled in nicely at center when Moore was removed, while Alex Wade, Peter Miner, and Howard Oetting formed a trio of guards that responded nobly when the occasion demanded. i6o ACTIVITIES DARLING GOFF Zook Basketball The ultimate champs got off to a mediocre start when they dropped their two opening practice tilts. The Y College game was lost 27-111, but is served as an experiment, as Mentor Joe used fifteen men in the lineup. The boys journeyed to Danville, Indiana, where the Hoosier state champs, Central Normal, eked out a 29-20 win after trailing most of the game. The Normal boys then hit their stride and ended their practice season by swamping Prehn's Collegians, composed of ex-Illinois stars, by a 41-28 count. The Redbirds then began their conference title chase by trouncing Illinois College -11-25. Charleston was the next victim, the Easterners bowing 37-29. Illinois was snowed under on the return game, 52-18. The Cogdalmen then journeyed to St. Viator and suffered their first and only conference defeat when the Irish annexed a rough 15-11 verdict. Not the least bit disheartened, the Cogdal clan resumed their winning ways by squelching DeKalb 37-29 and Eureka 34-25. Wheaton proved stubborn but succumbed 29-17. The Redbird reserves came through in the next tilt at Charleston when Darling, Rowe and Golf were on the ailing list and the Lantzmen took the short end of a -1-1-29 count. Eureka was disposed of by it 38-51 score. BASKETBALL 16! ,, v,.,:,-15,2 ,-1,51 gg 1v.1s,f , ,w ' zj v.

Then came the game that was in reality to decide the championship, the return game with St. Viator. The Saints after leading the league for almost the entire season finally had had their eleven game winning streak shattered by Millikin. The Redbirds took advantage of their opportunity, and in a brilliant battle before an overflow crowd trounced the Irish 24-15, and climbed into first place. The expected tight battle at Dekalb materialized and the Redbirds were forced into an extra period to win 52-29. The Cogdalmen then clinched the conference title by completely overwhelming the Wesleyan Titans by a humiliating 411-29 score. It was a fitting climax that the age old rivals should be Normal's final stepping stone to the title. Still seeking more worlds to conquer, the victorious Redbirds journeyed to Car- bondale to contest for the Normal Schools title. The Eastern Teachers were the first victims, bowing by a 33-28 count. The second team held the spotlight in the next 1 62 ACTIVITIES WADE SWARTZBALJGH TATMAN Basketball game and hung a 54-15 trouncing on Chicago Normal. The Redbirds then stepped into the finals by disposing of DeKalb in an easy 29-19 victory. The tourney being a double elimination affair, the Northerners eliminated Carbondale and entered the finals against the Birdies, but for the fourth time in the year the Cogdalmen were too strong, and the championship trophy went to Normal when the title game figures read 53-28. It marked the second time in three years that the State Teachers had won the tournament. The DeKalb game marked the thirteenth consecutive victory for Normal, and in addition the Cardinals hung up another 1000 per cent home floor conference record, run- ning their string for two seasons to fourteen. Moore, Darling, and Goff were all-conference selections while Zook was picked on the second team. Championship gold baskerballs, letters, and sweaters were awarded to Captain Dorrence Darling, Captain-elect Leslie Moore, james Goff, Harold Swartzbaugh, Roland Zook, Campbell Miller, Robert Rowe, Ralph Kingery, Ellis Wade, James Tatman, Cyril Miner, Richard Peterson, Howard Oetting, and Manager Floyd Schwenn.

Eugene Hill, former Normal track star, coached the team with two veterans, Fricke and johnson, returning as a nucleus. The Redbird Harriers started the season impressively by defeating the Wlieaton squad 30-25 between halves of the Homcoming game. Hess, State champ in 1929, was pressed to the limit to nose out Fricke in this meet, while Lyle Hutton made his debut by tieing for third with johnson. The Hillmen continued their winning ways by next annexing a Triangular meet with Illinois College and McKendree. The score was Normal 23, McKendree 45, Illinois 59. Fricke and Hutton took first and second respectively, while the entire Normal squad finished in the first eleven. Between halves of the McComb grid game the Redbird Harriers performed their outstanding accomplishment by nosing out the Bradley thinlies, five years state champs and undefeated in 25 consecutive dual meets, by a tight 27-28 score. Sutherland or the Techs nosed out Hutton while Fricke took third honors. I At the State meet Captain Fticke, running under the handicap of leg injuries, was able to garner only 17th place, and as a consequence the Redbirds were forced to take second honors, two points behind Bradley with 65. The bright spot for Normal was Hutton's performance in taking second individual honors, defeating I-Iess and Sutherland, his former conquerors, and bowing only to King of Monmouth. Lyle Hutton climaxed the successful season by taking third place in the Illinois Athletic Club's Invitational meet held in Chicago on Thanksgiving morning. Some of the leading hatriers of the middle west were among Hutton's victims. Letters were awarded to Captain Lloyd Fricke, Captain-elect Loren johnson, Lyle Hutton, Harold I-Iomann, Ross Hicks, and Frank Muhl.

HUTTON Hicks MUHL Track XVith ten lettermen returning from the successful 1930 season, State Normal's out- look for a winning track season was exceedingly bright. Jimmy Johnson returned to handle the dashes, Adams and Madix were back for the hurdles, the quarter mile was well taken care of with Captain Marvin Nicols, Melvin Nicols and Mitts, all back in harness, Fricke and Wallace, distance men, were available and Steelsmith and Roop were back for the jumps. In addition the track events were further bolstered by the showing of newcomers, Murray, a speedy dashman, Hutton, and Hicks in the mile and half, Baylor, a hurdler, Kuhfuss in the field events, Moore in the broad jump, and Muhl, Homann, and Morris in the distances. The Redbird thinlies made their first appearance at the State Indoor meet held in the Naperville field house in March. Only nine men made the trip, yer six of them contributed points enough for Normal to garner fifth place. Hutton and Johnson were the blue ribbon winners for the Cogdalmen, Hutton leading the field in the mile and johnson breaking the tape in the 60-yard dash. Hutton added to the total with a third in the half, Fricke picked up a second in the two mile and a third in the mile, Captain Marv Nicol added a point with a fifth in the quarter, while the Redbird relay team completed the scoring with a fifth in the baton passing event. Although possessing one of the greatest arrays of runners in the State Conference the noticeable weakness of strong performers in the field was costly to the Redbirds when the outdoor season got under way.

The field event bogey made itself known in the Wesleyzin dual meet when the Titans won every weight and jumping event to establish an 85--17 margin although the Birdies dominated the runs. ln the State Normal Schools meet which was held on the McCormick oval the Redbirds were forced to take second honors for the third year in row, bowing to the Southern Teachers of Carbondale. The figures were Southern 81, State Normal 70, Western 5515 Charleston 2715, and Northern 6. It was the same old story, Normal outscored Southern 63 to 55 in the running events but the Carbondale men picked up 45 points in the held to Normals 7. The Redbird speedsters picked up seven lirsts and hung up three new marks. Murray smashed the century mark by stepping the distance in an even .1O, and also won the 220. Captain Nicol stepped out and shaved the old mark in the quartet to win in 52.4, while Lloyd Fricke hacked ten seconds off the old mark in the two mile when he covered the distance in 10:23. The other Redbird winners were Hutton in the half, Fricke and Hutton, who came in together in the mile, and the relay team of the two Nicols, Mitts, and Murray who breezed in first without being pressed. Witli johnson and Murray in the sprints, Nicol in the quarter, the relay team and Hutton, Fricke, Wzlllace, and Hicks in the distances the Birdies are assured of placing well up in the State Outdoor meet at Monmouth.

E. Horton's first call for baseball candidates. Wfith Everett Ryan, Jimmie Johnson, Dutch Weber, and Captain Louie McFadden, in the outfield, Bob Rowe on first, Ray Mulera on second, and Bill Bryan, john Shiner, and june Van Gundy to do the pitching the problem seemed to be to fill the three vacant spots from the newcomers. The freshmen ranks proved to have the answer to H0rton's problem and he unearthed Orville Smilie, a husky Benson boy, to fill the gap at third, Al Mulera was put on second and brother Ray shifted to short, The catching burden was handled by Tommy Neill and Bib Farber, both fresh- men, until the veteran Denny Leonard entered school in the mid-spring to further fortify that post. In addition to these men there were a number of other fine prospects on the squad. Red Bennington, who displayed such versatility that he could be used in either the infield or the outfield, Bill Kuhfuss, a promising first baseman, Herman Reece, Stub Anderson, and Harold Swartzbaugh, infielders, and Edson White, outfielder. The new pitchers to show class were Russ Ahern, Harvey Grimes, Harrell, Hardy, Aldrich, and Taylor. The Redbirds opened their practice season by trouncing Lincoln College 14--1. Bloomington High was disposed of 15-1, and the McLean Farm Bureau nine succumbed 11-8. In these three games the Hortonmen showed great hitting and fielding strength but the noticeable weakness appeared to be in the pitching department and this fact was brought out when the conference season started. After having their first two games postponed because of bad weather the Birdies finally opened the season against Charleston. The Easterners jumped off to a 3-1 lead BASEBALL 175 Y.? , WEBER BRYAN SHINER Rowis Baseball early in the game but Grimes, who relieved Shiner, turned in a nice pitching performance and shut the visitors out until the last inning, and in the meantime the Normal sluggers pounded out fourteen hits to gain the decision 11-6. The powerful Wesleyan nine handed the Redbirds their first defeat in a poorly played 10-7 game. A streak of wildness by Bryan in the iirst inning gave the Titans a 7-0 lead, which was increased to 9-0 in the third due to a pair of costly errors. The lone bright spot was the rescue pitching act turned in by Rus Ahern. The diminutive southpaw held the Hillmen without an earned run in the 7M3 innings he worked, whiifed ten, and held them to five hits, three of them scratches. The Birdies hit Mead hard in the later innings, and their total of base knocks was greater than the Green's, but the first inning margin was too great to overcome. The second defeat came at the hands of Eureka when Shiner and Grimes yielded 10 runs in two innings after the Redbirds had amassed a 7-0 advantage. The Horton men came back with four more in the seventh to assume to lead but the Red Devils counted one in the eighth and another in the ninth to eke out a 12 to 11 decision.

The winter term schedule ended as did the fall tourney, with the giant K-1 team carrying off the honors. The K-1 outfit, champions of the previous year, notched the fall title from a field of twelve teams, knocking off the G-E five in the final game 46 to 25. The winter term basketball race was the most interesting of all the tournaments. Sixteen teams were divided into two leagues. The Harriers and the K-1's came through their respective leagues undefeated and hooked up for the title. Staging a last minute rally, the K-1's defeated their rivals in a 29-25 game that was a thriller throughout. 182 ACTIVITIES Intramurals Q? 1 ,av- f-W -Mm ww , GAMMA Pm HANDBAl.I. SC ie' Y ww.

Over one hundred men were active during the fall term, more than 230 were active during the winter term, and about 150 were enrolled in the spring. Fourteen different sports were offered during the year. The fall baseball schedule was cut short by cold weather, but the basketball schedule was run off successfully with the K-1 outlit emerging champions. The winter term found intramurals in full swing, and champions in eight different sports were named. The Big House entries in the boxing and wrestling tournament walked off with honors in both divisions after some thrilling bouts that kept a good sized crowd on edge throughout the evening. The Gamma Phi organization copped the lions share of the trophies in the other sports, winning the handball, bowling, twenty-one, and team trophies. The Zeta Pi crew annexed the volleyball title, while the Baby Grands won the free throwing contest. Rudolf Leasman won the individual bowling title, defeating Fisher in the final round. The spring sport program was pried open with a track and field meet that drew the cream of the school's thinly clads, and resulted in several splendid marks being hung up. The Gamma Phi team, led by Moore and Raymond, won team honors with 37 points. The rest of the spring program included playground ball, horseshoes, tennis, and golf. Mr. Eugene Hill of the Department of Physical Education is the director of the intramural work, and to him and his staff of assistants goes the credit for the success of the program. H. Atwood Reynolds was the senior manager, Melvin Story and Lawrence Baylor were the junior managers, and June Van Gundy, Kenneth Rice, Donald Wztrdell, and Sylvester Madix were the sophomore Managers. WOMEN'S ATHLETICS Pg.-4 Ox 190 ACTIVITIES The Teachers Both the Physical Education Club and the Woman's Athletic Association have had a very progressive year due to our leaders. The clubs have been eliciently organized and directed under the following faculty members: Miss Barto, sponsor of the Physical Education Club, has been very cooperative and active in sports. Miss Field, sponsor of the W.A.A., also had charge of hockey in the Fall, Bowling in the Winter, and Baseball this Spring. Miss Brown had charge of Soccer in the Fall and Swimming all year. She has been very faithful in coming out for all the sports. I Miss Lakin has been a capable and ellicient director of Orchesis for four years.

Miss B,-into The Physical Education Club has had an outstanding year, both from the social point of view and from the view of worthwhile things accomplished. joint meetings have been held with the Home Economics Club and with the Men's Physical Education Club. Several demonstrations have been given: in the fall term Swedish gymnastics, in the winter term Danish gymnastics, and a Christmas dance recital. The membership has been increased this year due to the installation of a four year curriculum in Physical Education. Miss Bernice Fry has been added to the teaching staif. Along the social line several parties have been held. The upper classmen enter- tained the freshmen, who in turn entertained their big sisters. Gamma Phi held open house for the Physical Education Club, and a joint party was sponsored by both organiza- tions later in the year. The Physical Education Club owes a great deal of its success this year to its advisotw Miss Margaret Barto, and each member of the club looks back with fond memories and hopes that the younger members will keep the club's ideals at the very highest level. 1 Q2 ACTIVITIES Women's Athletic Association Pi-eviden! . . . . ..., LILLIAN CHAMBERS Vire-Preiidefzr . . ....

T HURLEY VOELKEL The Purpose of W.A.A. is to raise the standards of physical, mental, and normal eliiciency among the women of the Illinois State Normal University, developing ideals of health, sportsmanship, and physical controlg and we certainly feel that this year has been a quite successful one in attaining this goal. This fall W.A.A. sponsored the first Play Day here on the campus for the W.A.A.'s of all Normal Schools in the state. Everyone enjoyed it so much and had such a good time that it was decided to make our Play Day an annual affair. Homecoming was cele- bratcd by the usual hockey game, and a reunion of all members at a banquet given at the Rogers Hotel that night. WOMENS ATHLETICS 193 Women's Athletic Association The next important event of this year's VU.A.A. history was the Mardi Gras. The gymnasium was decorated by a professional carnival man and the affair was quite successful. During the Fall term W.A.A. sponsored social dancing classes once a week to teach beginners in dancing, and the classes were always filled. The annual N banquet seemed to be enjoyed more than any social event this year. Betty Baird, Annabelle Thompson, Thurley Voelkel, and Elinor johnson were awarded letters as a reward for their most faithful service in W.A.A. and their high scholastic standing. Several bridge parties were held on Saturday afternoons in the W.A.A. room, prizes being awarded for high scores. The W.A.A. room has been improved a great deal this year. Three floor lamps, two table lamps, a rug, drapes, and furniture have been added to make the room very cozy and attractive. The intramural basketball tournament this year was very successful. There were twelve teams participating, and games were played twice a week. Much of this success is attributed to Thurley Voelkel, who has been re-elected head of intramurals for the coming year.

Miller, president, Ruth Bowman, vice president, Virginia Swanson, secretary and student council representative, Dr. Fred S. Sorrenson, XV. A. L. Beyer, and Mabel C. Allen. All the forensic work of I.S.N.U. is sponsored by this board. Through the efforts of the board a larger budget for conducting speech activities was secured from the Apportionment Board, and as a result the forensic program was better conducted than in previous years. The annual local school speech events, the Edwards Medal and Livingston Cup contests, were held in February and March. Delegates were sent by the board to the Little Nineteen Oratorical contest at Monmouth, to the Teachers' College Oratorical contest at Macomb, to the Peace Otatoty contest at Wfheaton, to the Inter-State Oratory contest at Cedar Falls, Iowa, and to the Pi Kappa Delta provincial contest at Oshkosh, Wisconsin. In every case the Normal representatives were always near the top of the rankings. The debating season was satisfactory in every way. Wliile no championships were won, both the mens and womens squads ranked high in the debate league. The men's teams won four of the six debates, and the womens teams won half of their scheduled debates. In addition to these debates a debate with the University of Missouri womens team was also held as a climax of the seasons activities. SPEECH 209 Lecture Board The Lecture Board of the University fully believing in bringing the students in contact with the great artists and thinkers of the day arranged a program that perhaps overshadowed those of past years. It sought to select the best that could be obtained in the fields of music, drama, and the allied arts. Maurice Hindus was the outstanding speaker, and planted many germs of thought in the minds of his listeners. Music lovers were given a treat by such numbers as can be given by Guy Maier and Lee Pattison in their two-piano recital, the Gordon String Quartet, and the great baritone, john Charles Thomas. The Lecture Board for the school year of 1950-1931 was composed of the following members: R. H. Linkins, Miss Blaine Boicourt, Miss Gertrude Stephens, Daniel Coffey, Melvin Story, Iris Fulton, Arthur Hill, and Bernadine Flanagan. The numbers of the course were as follows: November 13--Guy Maier and Lee Pattison in a Two-Piano Recital February 13---Maurice Hindus, Russian lecturer February 19- e'Mrs. Patrick Campbell, reader March 18-Gordon String Quartet April 22-john Charles Thomas, baritone 210 ACTIVITIES D.

The members participated in eight debates besides the six Pi Kappa Delta convention debates. Non-decision debates were held with DeKalb, Shurtletf, and Albion colleges. The decision debates were with Shurtleff, North Central, Monmouth, Bradley, and the University of Missouri. The negative lost to Shurtlefl but won from Bradley and Missouri University. The Affirmative lost to Monmouth and won from North Central. Those debating on the regular negative team were Cleda Nitzel, Annabelle Thomson, and Dorrell Kilduff. The regular alihrmative team was composed of Alma Ramseyer, Lucille Stoner, and Virginia Swanson. Others participating in several debates were Rosie Rasmussen, Dorothy Wtirlow, and Maurine Chapman. Much of the squads success is due to the excellent coaching of Dr. Fred S. Sorrenson and Prof. John A. Kinneman. The members of the Woinen's Debate team who represented I.S.N.U. at the National Pi Kappa Delta Convention at Oshkosh, Wis., were Cleda Nitzel and Dorrell Kildulf as the negative teamg and Alma Ramseyer and Virginia Swanson as the affirmative team. The seasons debate question was Resolved that State Medicine should be established. SPEECH 2 I 3 Men's Intercollegiate Debating The men's intercollegiate debate question for this year was, Resolved: that the several states should enact legislation providing for compulsory unemployment insurance to which the employer should be required to contribute. In the Little Nineteen Con- ference four of the six championship debates were won, both the aflirmative and negative teams winning two debates. The aflirmative defeated Macomb and Augustana, losing to Monmouth, and the negative registered wins over Bradley and St. Viator, being defeated by DeKalb. The men's debate squad was well represented at the Pi Kappa Delta convention at Oshkosh, Wisconsin, in April. Two teams composed of Dewey Fristoe and Daniel Coffey, aihrmative, and Clarence A. Miller and Harold Conger, negative, were sent. These teams tied with Monmouth as the fourth school to enter the semi-final round, both schools winning three preliminary debates, but in the check-up on ratings Monmouth was chosen by the small margin of one point. The afhrmative team had the distinction of defeating Wheaton, the champions, while the negative team defeated Shurtlelf and Ripon. A number of practice debates were held during the season, including dual engage- ments with Wesleyan, Illinois College, and Eureka. One of the most interesting debates of the year was the clash of the two Normal teams before the Open Forum in Bloomington. Daniel Coffey, Dewey Fristoe, and Edward Buehrig comprised the intercollegiate ailirmative team. The negative team was composed of Clarence A. Miller, Harold Conger, and Atwood Reynolds. Much of the commendable showing of the debate team was due to the efhcient coaching of Dr. Fred S. Sorrenson and Professor R. G. Browne. 214 ACTIVITIES A. W.

In this contest Mr. Buehrig again won first place and Miss Hall won third. SPEECH 2 I 5 H. Arwoorm REYNoLns DANIEL COFFEY Rosus RASMUSSEN Livingston Cup Extempore Contest Prepared to talk on the general subject, The United States and Europe, Miss Rosie Rasmussen, Daniel Coffey, and Atwood Reynolds, seniors, competed on March 3, before the upper class assembly for the Livingston cup for extempore speaking. Mr. Reynolds, speaking on the topic Reparations, was awarded the loving cup. Miss Rasmussen spoke on Soviet Russia and Mr. Coffey Repatations. Sub-topics were drawn 24 hours before contest time. judges of the event were Miss Eula Mathews, dean of girls at Normal Community high school, the Rev. C. E. Pettit, pastor of the Grace Methodist Episcopal church of Bloomington, and the Rev. C. F. Vance, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Normal. The Livingston cup contest is one of the annual literary classics sponsored by I.S.N.U., and the award is made by A. Livingston and sons to generate and increase interest in extempore speaking in the University. A preliminary contest, open to all students of I.S.N.U., is scheduled for the forepart of February. From this contest three finalists are selected to compete in the Livingston cup event. Mr. Reynolds by virtue of winning this year's event represented the university at the Teachers' College Oratorical contest at Macomb on March 27, where he placed second, speaking on the subject, Germany and the Interallied Debt. Miss Rasmussen represented I.S.N.'U. at the Pi Kappa Delta provincial contest at Oshkosh, Wisconsiii, where she placed third. 2 I 6 ACTIVITIES E. BUEHRIG D. KILDUFF D. COFFEY D. WARLOW C. MILLER V.

Malmberg and Miss Mabel Clare Allen, attended the bi-annual Pi Kappa Delta provincial conven- tion which was held this year at Oshkosh, Wisconsin. I.S.N.U. succeeded in maintaining the high standard it has always had in speech. More points were won by the Normal group than by the representatives from any of the eleven other competing colleges. Special high honors were won by Edward Buehrig and Dorothy Warlow, both of whom won the first place shields in the men's and womens oratory contests. Rosie Ras- mussen placed third in the womens extempore contest, and Harold Conger ranked fourth in the men's event. In the preliminary debate rounds, the womens affirmative team, consisting of Alma Ramseyer and Virginia Swanson, won decisions from Ripon and Bradley, and lost to Wlieaton. Cleda Nitzel and Dorrell Kilduif, the negative debaters, defeated North Central and Oshkosh, losing to Monmouth. On the strength of this record the womens teams entered the semi-finals where they were eliminated by Monmouth and Wheaton. The men's affirmative debate team, consisting of Daniel Coffey and Dewey Fristoe, defeated W'heaton, the debate champions of the convention, in the preliminary round, and lost to Eureka and North Central. The negative debaters, Clarence Miller and Harold Conger, won decisions from Shurtleff and Ripon, losing to Carroll. Tying with Monmouth in the number of debates won, it was decided that Monmouth, by the small margin of one point, should enter the semi-final round instead of the mens reams from Normal. Royal entertainment was provided by the Oshkosh chapter, and the trip is one long to be remembered by the Normal delegates. SPEECH 2 I 7 as-... L f W1 XB X EDWARD BUEHRLG ALICE WYNNE HALL HELEN BECKENHOLDT Other Speech Contests Normal University sent representatives to the Illinois Inter-collegiate Oratorical Contest in both the Men's and Woinen's divisions. This meet was held at Monmouth College on February 12 and 13. Miss Helen Beckenholdt gave an oration entitled The Hope of Communismn and Edward Buehrig's subject was Our Land of Liberty. Both contestants did excellent work and ranked high in the final standings. Miss Beckenholdt placed third and Mr. Buehrig second in close contests that were decided by a vote of the speech instructors of the schools represented. Normal's good showing in speech work for the season was upheld by three con- testants at the Illinois Teachers College Oratorical Contest held at Macomb on March 27. Edward Buehrig, Normal's foremost orator, won first place in this event and thus earned the privilege of representing his school and state in the Inter-state League of Teachers' Colleges Meet at Cedar Falls, Iowa, on April 24. Atwood Reynolds, winner of the Liv- ingston Cup Contest, competed in the extemporaneous division, speaking on the general topic of the United States and Europe, and won second place. Miss Alice Wynne Hall, an Edwards Medal Contest winner, gave the reading Daddy Doc, placing third in her event. Normal University will be represented at the World Peace Oratorical Contest to be held at Wheaton College early in May by Dewey Fristoe, whose subject is The Futility of War. The two winners in this state contest will receive cash prizes and will be eligible to compete in a national contest. 218 ACTIVITIES University Theater Director .... .... Bzftizzeir Altrntzger .

Through this organization much of the responsibility is shifted from the faculty director and given to the respective members of the stall. This year the University Theater has sponsored the production of five major performances, and a number of minor activities. The stage equipment has been increased, particularly in the lighting department, one of the most important additions being a dimmer. The annual season ticket sale was held, and the staff hopes that this custom will continue at I.S.N.U. The University Theater is planning for a bigger and even better dramatic program next year.

THINGS LITERARY 231 The Storm EDITH ROCKENDORF Outside hear rose from the white concrete pavement in shimmering waves. The leaves hung drooping and lifeless from the tall poplars, spreading maples, and gnarled oaks. The sun glared like a thousand fires. Its dazzling white light reflected from the windshield of the occasional car. The four o'clocks had long ago shut their eyes and now were even trying to hide under their leaves which were failing them shamelessly in their hour of need. The grass was scorched and burned to a pale yellow. Only a little edge of green surrounded the sickly flower beds. A quiet and expectant hush lay over the streets and houses like a blanket smothering every sound and breath. A long drawn-out buzz of a heat bug rose to a climax and then quickly fell. A slight rustle of the leaves of the poplar told of a breeze that no one felt. Inside all motion and activity had ceased. A stupor of oppressive heat lay on all the inmates. Even the flies ceased their buzzing and rested with heads hanging downward on the ceiling. Only the endless tick-tick-tick of the clock and the piano broke the silence. And then suddenly the bright light out-of-doors became dimmer. A cloud passed over the street. Another cloud covered the sun. Great gray clouds piled up in the west like flocks of dirty sheep. The rough edges became smooth. A sudden rustling of the leaves of the poplar outside the window was observed. A swift cold gust of wind blew through the house. Shades rusted and cracked. Plants tipped over. Papers flew across the room. Outside the gray, smooth-edged clouds had become black. The wind rose in force. Trees bent low before it. Bang! Bang! Down went window after window! Doors slammed shut, and then another hush. More deadly and oppressive than before, the quiet and heat rushed on the world. For a second the oncoming storm seemed to check its headlong flight across the sky. Only a second, and then a livid zig-zag streak of lightning flashed through the black clouds. Simultaneously the thunder pealed forth in loud crashing tones that shook the trees and buildings to their foundations. Another flash, another crash, and a rolling echo. Another flash ripped across the sky. Rain poured down in sheets-torrents. In two minutes the gutters were overflowingg in live, the streets were rivets. Fountains bubbled from every intersection. Pools of water stood at the base of the dripping trees. Crash after crash of thunder came closer--then came one that rocked the foundations of the houses and made the very leaves on the trees tremble in fear. A streak of lightning! A crash louder than all the rest! A smell of sulphur in the air-and then a burst of llame from a near-by garage. Now llre sirens and bells joined the chorus of the storm. Fifteen minutes passed-erwentyl The crashes came less frequently. The flashes of lightning ceased. The smooth black sky became gray. Rifts of blue appeared. The clouds rode across the sky. The blue rifts became wider. The sun came out and smiled on the dripping plants and flowers. The soft breeze wiped away their tears. The grass looked fresh and green. A cool fresh breeze blew the last vestiges of heat away. The rivers in the streets dwindled and shrank to little brooks in the gutters. Only the lite engine remained and a smoking, blackened roolless pile of boards and timbers. The storm was over. 232 ACTIVITIES Seoop HARRIIET LEE You're fired, I tell you, fired! The city editor brought the front legs of his chair to the Hoot with a bang, as if to emphasize the fact and also to prove that the interview was at an end. Yes, sir, repeated Ted Malone, I'm lated. He picked up his hat and walked out of the elaborately furnished ollice of the editor of the Daily Courier. With bowed head he passed the desks of his co-workersecopy readers, reporters, and proof-readers- and made his way down the stairs of the Courier building. Typewriters had ceased for that brief moment while Ted passed by. Everyone liked this blond, smiling reporter. He was everyones friend. How many young, feminine journalists remembered that first day at the oflice when some one yelled something like this: Miss Burns, here's your assignment. Cover the Poultry showf' Poultry show indeed! Now where did one find a poultry show? On a farm, most likely. But just where did one find the farming vicinity in New York City? I wonder. But there was a smiling face and a pleasant voice which said, Anything I can do? And it was all straightened out. And now Ted was fired-canned-out of a job. And all because he'd never gotten a scoop. He'd brought in newseeyes, plenty of news, but never a scoop. That's what editors wanted. Now there was Alex Swainehed been with the Courier only two years -and just look at the stuff he'd brought in. He must just spend his time starting fires and knocking down pedestrians so he could get the news hrst. Today the Courier had gotten another scoop over the Evening journal, and it was that confounded Alex again. Look here, young man, the editor had said to Ted in that brief interview, we want ambitious young men. I said ambitious. Here you are, four years I've put up with you. And what do you do? Come in with some long tale about a CHE that has adopted a family of pups or something like that. Now we want news on this paper-hold-ups, murders news, I tell you. And whats more we want scoops! Ted walked slowly down the street, thinking as he walked. Whttt did one do when out of a job? Start looking for another, of course. But he'd had one for so long he'd just gotten used to it. A familiar sound greeted his ears--the roar of presses. He'd know that sound in Africa. He looked up at the building on his right. There was the sign, Offices of the Evening journal. In a short time Ted Malone was reinstated in the journalistic world. The journal was short of reporters at this time. The Rotarians and their annual convention were calling for their share of publicity. And if you're an ambitious young man f-ambition! He'd heard that before- there might be a place on the staff for you, the editor had said. Ted again made his way up the street, in search of the Rotarians and their solemn conclave. The morning had been a trying one, and Ted felt the need of food. He dropped in at a little-frequented lunch-counter and ordered a cup of coffee and a sandwich. While he waited for his order, he stared out the window. Suddenly he was roused from his reverie. THINGS LITERARY 233 U?-and the kid'll be at the subway entrance on 39th street about three-thirty this afternoon-not later than three forty-five4'cause the bank closes at four. And when he gets to that corner-well-. Ted had not noticed the other two customers at the lunch counter. In fact, he would not have noticed them at all, had they not raised their voices above their usual pitch. He gave no evidence even then of having overheard, but drank his coffee slowly, paid his bill, and casually sauntered out to the street again. He glanced at his watch- two forty-five. I-Ie had a lot to do. Once out of sight of the lunch room, he rushed up the street and around the corner to the ollice of Captain O'Malley of the West Side Police Force. The Rotarians had completely fled from Ted's mind. Witliiii the next hour the two occupants of the lunch room were quite thoroughly surprised at their unexpected meeting with several blue coated officers, and the Moberly Clothing Company was saved something like two thousand dollars, to say nothing of the life of a mes- senger boy. Ted was off to the nearest phone. There--guess he'd show 'em-nobody beat him to that story. Roselawn 9-i63. In a few moments the whole story was ready for the press, omitting, however, the part played by Ted Malone. Ted walked leisurely back to the Journals office-- Pretty good for the first day's work-eguess that ought to satisfy the boss. To his surprise the boss glared at him over his spectacles. Look at that, another scoop we should have had, but the Courier beat us to it. Couple of fellows tried to hold up a messenger boy. Something clicked in Ted's brain. Roselawn 9465 Force of habit. He'd called the Courier number. CAMP LANTZ The cabin is old now Witli the dull brown of escaping years Covering its walls. Only a rottedirope In place of the joyful swing- The paths are gone. Even the river has shrunk, Twisting its remnant self Into odd degenerate knots. None of these desolate things are mine, But a distant dream. ROBERTA L. HOLLEY '33. 234 ACTIVITIES The Burglar GRACE BusHELL Oh, Van, came the call from the upper northwest corner of Mrs. Beals rooming house, Can you come up and explain latitude and longitude to me again? We're having an exam in geography Monday, and Ill be blessed if I can remember whether latitude is the distance east and west of the equator or north and south of the principal metidianf' Oh, dear! sighed Alice, jeans roommate. Must I sit here and listen to that all over again? Please go to the attic, or the basement, or somewhere out of my hearing. Is that so, Miss Alice Johnston? I don't suppose I have ever heard you ask Van to explain that simple geometry proposition to you more than once, have I? Perhaps you did, Jean, that proposition was complicated, I'll admit, but latitude and longitude, well--. Yes, well-if you don't want to hear it again you don't have to, for theres plenty of room out-doors. Anyhow where is that johnny Hall you've been telling us about? Seems to me this is Friday night. u just then Van was heard coming down the hall, humming, I'm Dancing with Tears in My Eyes. She was usually humming the latest tune. Van had a way with her, too. When she was around, one could not but be happy. All three girls were busy, when about nine o'clock, Edith, Van's roommate, came in. Girls. how can you sit here and work so hard on a Eriday night, especially as hot a one as this? Well, the weather is cool compared with the work I have to do this week-end, said jean. Drop your work awhilef laughed Edith, and listen to some campus gossip I heard to-night. Laura Pearce told julia Aimes that Verna said that she saw Ruth at the show last night with johnny Hall, and you know what a scrap those two had just last week. jean repeated slowly, julia Aimes told you that Laura told her that Verna told her that,--but that's nothing. Everybody goes to the show and scraps with Johnny. And she looked over at Alice with a gleam in her eye. Van, seeing that trouble lay ahead, skillfully changed the topic of conversation. I heard that another girl had ten dollars taken from her room this week, and that wasn't all, at one place a burglar took the hinges from a screen door and got away with hfty dollarsfl What? exclaimed Edith, who always became very much excited whenever burglars were mentioned. These hold-ups are occurring a little too often around here to be interesting. And, Edith, did you hear that tapping on our west window last night after we had gone to bed? asked Van. That tapping on our window? No! Pooh! said Alice, Whats a little tapping noise like that compared with what we heard? Why, it sounded like the storming of a fort over our heads. We finally con- THINGS LITERARY 235 cluded that it was only the rats playing tag in the attic. jean and I took turns throwing our shoes at the ceiling, and at last they gave up, and we went to sleep. Mrs. Beal called that it was time to be quiet, so the girls reluctantly separated and started to their own rooms. Now it happened that Edith and Van were alone on the first floor since the other girls had gone home that week-end. There also happened to be an outside door to their room. Believe me there is going to be more than a screen door between me and the burglar to-night, said Edith, as she closed the door tightly and turned both the key and the night lock. She then closed and fastened one of the windows and was just closing the other when Van noticed what she was doing. What do you mean, Edith Temple? Why, we can't smother to death, burglar or no burglar. v Well, I'd rather run the chance of smothering to death than of being shot to death. Now, Edith, calm yourself. You haven't any reason to think that you will be shot. This isn't Chicago. These hold-up men around here aren't out to killg they're out for money, and so saying, she opened the windows. She did consent, however, to leave the door closed. Everything was quiet, and Van was just dozing off when she heard a hoarse whisper from Edith. Van, there is that tapping noise. Someone is at the window. Oh, hum, yawned Van. Let it tap. Van, do get up and see what it is, whispered Edith. At last, very much out of sorts, a mood quite foreign to her, Van did get up. While Edith lay still and breathless, she went over to the west window and looked out. A little dead twig from a branch of the big maple in the back yard, when moved by the breeze, would tap against the window pane. This seemed to calm Edith somewhat, and after a time both girls were fast asleep. What was that noise? Edith gave a start and looking in the direction from which the noise came, she saw, just outside the window, the figure of a man. His cap was pulled low over his eyes and a bandanna covered the lower part of his face. Very stealthily he was removing the window screen. Too frightened to make a sound, Edith buried her head in the pillow and awaited the inevitable. She heard him swing himself over the window sill. She heard him moving about the room. She supposed that he carried a revolver in each hand, but she was so paralyzed with fear that she could not turn her head to see. Bang! l And then, as though from a distant land, she heard Van say, Gee whiz. there goes my drink of water on the floor, and another glass broken. What will Mrs. Beal say? Oh, Vanf' cried Edith, is that you? I thought that there was a sure-enough burglar in the room. I must have had a horrible dream. 236 ACTIVITIES Working With Fire HARRY E. BALDWIN Too-oo-oo-oo-oo-oot! Toot! Hear that big whistle? Time to be at work. Men are rushing everywhere. Motors are buzzing about, like bees in a hive, drawing cars of ore, cars of clinker, cars of zinc, cars of everything, here and there. A busy place, I say. No place for loafers. Safety first is the motto. Be sure everything is safe. In spite of these rules many people are either killed or maimed for life every year in such a factory. It was the Hegler zinc plant. Wliat a dirty hole it was. No order anywhere. Buildings were thrown everywhere. There were no two of them facing the same direc- tion. The law of parallels could not be proved in that factory. There were no parallels, no set order. The ugliness of it was appalling. The ground itself was bare. No plant could grow in such a smoky place. just ahead of us is the smelting furnace or furnaces. for there are six of them all grouped together under one roof. If the men in the yards were busy, these were doubly so. Men running about everywhere. Here were two men pushing a spring cart. They were hauling retorts. Two others were mixing fire-clay fmudj. Facing the flames, however, was the most interesting group. They had the hardest jobs to do. There were men to remove condensers, men to clean the retorts, and then came the chargers. The chargers have the hottest job in the factory, except one. Huge tongues of flame leap at them from the red mouths of countless retorts. The men are fairly roasted. Some of them are naked to the waist. Their chests are baked brown. Their skin is as tough as leather. Their faces look like well-done steaks. Their eyes are slightly sunken. Wrttch them work. Nothing can stop them. Every fifteen minutes they change. Other men take their places. Then they step outside where they are fanned by a hot, dry breeze. It is the middle of July. Hot? Of course, it's hot! No rain for weeks. One of those days when anything can happen. No man's job is worse than that of the charger on such a day. That is no mans job but that of the puddler. Ay, theres a job. Between those burning, leaping tongues of flame and the huge puddling kettle stands the puddler. He stands on a platform which he moves about as he desires so that he can reach each retort. I-le scrapes the zinc into his puddling kettles. Then, while breathing the hot zinc-oxide gases from the molten liquid in the kettle, he scoops off the slag. Then the zinc is poured into moulds and allowed to cool. Some job that one. For seventeen years Antonio Chopski had been at his post. He had always been on time. He was the ace of the puddlers. His lode of the furnace was always first away. Wlic-n the work was done the gang could go home. Tony's gang was always the first to go. Many times Tony had helped his relief worker by relieving him live minutes early and thus resting only ten minutes between shifts. Tony is a strong man. His muscles are like steel cords, and he can't be whipped. Anyone could tell you that. I'd seen him often working away at his job, whistling some Polish air and keeping time with the rhythm. It reminded me of the track niggers driving spikes on the rail- road while singing some negro folk song. Every move seemed timed. THINGS LITERARY 237 What was the matter with Tony today? He was not whistling. His job was getting behind. He swayed ever so slightly as he turned around to empty the kettle. He staggered and almost fell. Relief! he shouted. Relief! A moi, Mon ami, au secour! Damn that Frenchy. Why can't he hurry up? Ugh! oh-Ugh! Tony fell headlong from the platform and landed on the floor between it and the flames. The flames seemed to leap at him. They reached him. His clothing was on fire. The men stamped it out and dragged him to the air. A call was put in for the ambulance, the doctor and the coroner. 'E's dead, Frenchy said quite simply. Well, its too bad. 'E allus drank it little though. Perhaps 'e got too much. Well, Frenchy, wot you doing? Get busyg let's get t'hell out of here. 'Es a dead one. Throw him out and let's go. We can't fool with him. The office will send him flowers. 'Is widow'll get her pension. Snap it up and pull that zinc. HOUSETOPS Dismal, assuming housetops Cutting crooked chips from the great black bowl Of whispering stars, How tall you try to stretch yourselves!

HOLLEX', '53 238 ACTIVITIES Reflections While Shaving ROBLRT VAN EMAN It was one of those lazy mornings in early lune when a fellow likes to roll over and take a second snooze. After a spectacular performance consisting of yawns, stretching, and more yawns, I finally pulled my shiftless self together and proceeded with the monotonous daily dozen. I was half asleep when I entered the bathroom and made ready for the masculine task of scraping my face. I suspect I had been out too late the night before, but you know in the spring a young man's fancies lightly turn to thoughts which the girl friend has been entertaining all year. By this time I had splattered the mirror trying to get a larher with cold water. I concluded the landlady must have been trying to save a nickel. As I carelessly smeared some of the foamy mess on my face, I managed to get a good supply in my mouth, and wondered why someone had not been sufficiently in- genious to invent a flavored shaving soap. The great men had probably been spending their time trying to improve the fiavor of lipstick. As I put the old Auto-Strop through her morning exercise, I dreamed of the days when dad used the old razor strap. He could tune up the edge of his old straight blade, or shake the dust from the seat of sonny's pants with equal efficiency. I wondered if the coming of the safety razor would not cause the downfall of the coming generation, for surely no one could raise a family without a good razor strap. I raked the instrument of destruction across my face and zip! went the top of a mole. I stuck a piece of paper over it to stop the blood and proceeded with the operation. I was still sleepy, and carelessly crashed into a wart on the end of my chin. I think that it was funny that I did not remember the wart, for it had made me the hero of the town at one time. The street faker had chosen me from among a group, that he might demonstrate his ability at removing warts. He had a good idea but it did not work. I stuck another piece of paper on this one and determined to finish the job. The next time I would have to be more careful, for I was a senior and must plan for the future. I should have to develop more technique in the manly art of shaving. I then, for the first time, realized what the value of such an art might mean to me. If I were to aspire to become a dean of men, I must leave a bit of fuzz on my upper lip, while if I were to entertain the idea of becoming a college president, I must cultivate a goatee. If I were toi i just then a musical note caught my ear. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Five minutes later, I crashed into my classroom looking as if a barber, a butcher, and a paper hanger had all been working on me at the same time. MUSIC 240 ACTIVITIES I. S. N. U.

Guitar in hand he sat beside his brother under the immense August full moon. Somewhere a cow mooed. Bunny Boy junior carefully plucked a guitar string and inserted it in his blouse. He gazed critically at the moon. It don't look like china to me, he announced at last it looks more like cheese, Philadelphia cream cheese! Bunny Boy senior turned to him. XWhat if it made of? he asked petulantly. Bunny Boy junior picked a dandelion and began to curl the end of its stem. Finally he looked up from his work. I couldnt say. was his answer. You mean: 'you don't know '. corrected Bunny Boy senior. Neither do you! the younger boy was almost in tears. Oh I don't know . . the elder boy was a trilie arrogant. But it just shows us we don't know everything! XVhat can we do about it? Bunny Boy junior looked very sad. For a moment the brothers sat thinking, then Bunny Boy senior looked up, eyes agleam. He jumped to his feet. ON THE CAMPUS? X. l've got itl Let'S go to L'-allege. I've got it! he shouted, merrily beating his brother with guitar until both were weary of the sport. Let's go to college! the Let's. agreed Bunny Boy junior, selecting a splinter of guitar to chew. He looked puzzled. But where'll we go? Both sat deep in thought for a minute. Suddenly they turned toward each other, eyes full of fire. Both shouted: To OLD NORMAL! II A bit of smoke from early leaf-fires hazed the air, but the sun made the afternoon golden. Oh, let us cheer! shouted the Bunny Boys as, suitcases in hand, they marched through Fell Gate. Oh, let us cheer I.S.N.U.! corrected a deep voice at their that's the phrase on fbir campus. Oh, let us cheer I.S.N.U.! parroted the boys heartily, but certain as to what 'I.S.N.U.' was. Then they hurried away from deep-voiced stranger. All about them crickets chirruped the same ear, un- the un- familiar cadence. The boys paused to listen. Bunny Boy senior turned to his brother. They're .rjzzgiug it! he whispered. Both boys stared. Down the driveway toward them came a long line of crickets, large, red-coated, and singing! The leader wore an enormous scarlet busby, and turned handsprings and back Hips to Old Normal's cheer song. The Bunny Boys were awe-struck. Suddenly in the middle of a handspring the leader lost his busby. Blushing furiously the poor fellow fled out across the campus screaming: ACTIVITIES Oh, let us cheer . . . l.S.N.U. I fold them to fix that chin-strap! I told them to . . Then he ducked under a stone. Without a leader, the other crickets pulled out their kazoos and began to play a medley of popular tunes. Fingers in ears the Bunny Boys ran to Old Main to register. III A brisk wind stirred the autumn leaves into gorgeous rhythmic patterns. Narrow white clouds streaked the southern sky. A lone sparrow flew west. Bunny Boy junior gazed solemnly after the bird. Do sparrows migrate? he asked. Bunny Boy senior turned abruptly from the football game he had been watching. Didn't you study that in Ecology? he questioned acidly, and turned his attention once more to the players. No, answered the younger boy, hurt. We quit studying a bird as soon as it hatches. 'Ecologyf Get it? ' Witli a scream Bunny Boy senior began throwing his brother about the grandstand, finally heaving him out on the playing held, bowling over an oflicial who had just made a decision against Old Normal. Roaring at the good fun the Bunny Boys had brought to the game, the players and spectators helped them both to a speedy exit . . . Are we safe now? gasped Bunny Boy senior. He gave a cautious glance behind him. Only the smaller missiles were reaching them now, and these, for the most part, pattered harmlessly at their feet. Bunny Boy junior slowly pulled himself together. Look at me! he exclaimed, mournfully pointing to his torn clothes, his bumps and bruises. Bunny Boy senior obeyed. Deftly, with skill- ON THE CAMPUS? Do spar rows migrate ? ful, practiced movements Bunny Boy junior struck his brother a hard quick blow on each eye. They swelled shut at once. Now look at me! sneered the younger brother. But Bunny Boy senior couldn't manage. Ler's go home, he suggested lamely. IV The night is clear. Everything shines. Tiny crystal frost globes sparkle under a great round moon. In nearby fields, shivering in their fragile packets of frost, lie pumpkins, forsaken, alone . . . Within all is warmth and gaietyg everything shines: foreheads shine, eyes shine, noses shine. Outside the moon shines . . . monkey- shines . . . The moon is very beautiful, shimmering like cranberry jelly under an arc lamp. Still it is all very beautiful . . . moon shine. Somewhere among soft lights an orchestra plays soft music written by soft-heads. Now and then a couple shuffles across the gleaming dance floor, but the rest just bounce. Pardon me, please. suggested Bunny Boy senior as he danced with Miss Trinket, leaping from foot to foot. Her feet. Bunny Boy senior tried to dance, Miss Trinket tried to smile. Bunny Boy senior noticed the effort: Have you ever heard the one about the travelling Auto-giro sales- man and the farmers . . Pletz.s'e. ' Miss Trinket blushed beneath her rouge. ACTIVITIES -.iw Somewhere among soft lights an orchestra played. . . pasture? Bunny Boy senior was hard to stop. He laughed merrily, thinking himself a wit. How did you like it? he asked, holding Miss Trinket as deftly as his experience allowed. Yes, she answered displaying her perfect teeth in a wide yawn. let's go home. The phrase had a familiar ring to Bunny Boy senior. Lets do! he agreed without thinking. V A thin blanket of snow lay over everything, almost. A heavy fog enveloped everything, almost . . . everything but the boys out for basketball practice. The gymnasium lights gleamed bright, and Bunny Boy junior stood around shivering. Thingly clad, he missed the all-enveloping fog, the thin blanket of snow. Someone approached Bunny Boy junior. He stopped shivering. XY!hat do you play? asked the newcomer, an alert individual with keen blue eyes. Basketball? answered Bunny Boy junior. He began to shiver again. iiwhllf position? the coach was patient with new talent. Forward, Bunny Boy had heard that word somewhere. Take this ball and see what you can do. ordered the coach. Bunny Boy junior looked up too late to dodge the basketball. It hit him on the nose . . . The gymnasium was in an uproar. Bunny Boy junior had the ball! Dribbling wildly he started for the goal at the far end of the court. ON THE CAMPUS? Bunny Boy junior had the ball! Suddenly all was quietg he was under the basket! Slowing down gracefully he danced up close to the bankboard and threw the ball at the iron hoop. The woven net tangled slightly, keeping the ball from going clear through the basket . . . backwards! Bunny Boy junior turned to the coach: If you'd take off those strings, and put the hoops nearer the floor, I could shoot much better. We might even win the Little Nineteen championship if you'd get-! We'll win anyway! gritted the coach, Now yon get! Bunny Boy junior 'gotf VI It was evening and cold. Outside a bitter wind made merry, a bitter cynical wind trying to be gay, but just whistling in the dark. Somewhere a door banged. Bunny Boy junior strode into his room unfurling a long red muffler from his long red neck. He hung it carefully on the hall-tree. Then he turned to his brother: Well, he announced proudly, we did it! Did what? Bunny Boy senior looked up from a notebook. His brother noticed for the first time how unpopular he looked. He was even getting rosy-checked! almost healthy again. Wl1y, beat them! Bunny Boy junior was astonished. Had his brother really become a student? Beat whom? Bunny Boy senior wrinkled his brow. 7 ACTIVITIES W'ell. We did it! Wesleyi1n, of course! shouted the younger boy, and together they danced round and round the room until both were dizzy and tired of the sport. Gosh! gasped Bunny Boy senior, and went back to his notebook work again: Tomorrow was another day at Old Normal . . . another thousand- dollar day . . . VII It was snowing! The Bunny Boys hugged one another with glee. It was snowing deep white drifts. Oh, let us cheer . . . I.S.N.U. they shouted happily, adding the mystic letters for good measureg they were rapidly becoming the most unpopular boys on the campus. It made them careful. Wliat shall we do? asked Bunny Boy junior who was always ready for a lark. Lets go exploring! suggested Bunny Boy senior who preferred chicken. Both ran to unpack their tennis racquets. Soon they were off, as usual. Arm in arm, laughing, singing they shuffled along on their racquet-snowshoes, more than a little dizzy . . . A dull gray cloud hung low above them, but the snow had ceased to fall. It was getting darker, almost as though night were falling. From a great way off came a thud. The wind moaned in their ears. Perhaps its .1 Tycoon. whispered the elder Bunny Boy, feeling ill at ease. Or a simoonln suggested Bunny Boy junior, hopping about among his two feet and racquet shoes to keep warm. ON THE CAMPUS? ii I , ri vm The fight began in C'z1l'1'l6St. HardlyI sneered Bunny Boy senior referring to his pocket dic- tionary, thats a violent dust storm occurring infrequently in Arabia and Syria. Hal spat Bunny Boy junior, and yours? a title of the shogunln They threw their pocket dictionaries at each other, both missing. The fight began in earnest, the two boys pelting one another with rock- iilled ice-balls until both wearied of the sport. Bunny Boy senior touched a large lump on his forehead. Bunny Boy junior felt carefully the swelling over his left eye. They looked at one another, eyes alight with friendly mischief. Let's quit! they chorussed, throwing one last hard-packed missile at each other. VIII Crocuses were standing ankle-deep in slush. So were the Bunny Boys. They had forgotten their galoshes. Now and then a sparrow twittered, then flew aimlessly about. Every once in awhile Bunny Boy senior would sigh, each sigh ending in a plaintive whistle. Then he would slosh aimlessly about. His asthma was becoming chronic. It was almost supper time. The robins would be here any day now. Bunny Boy junior had the snufiles. It was spring. Or was it? The next day it snowed . . again. ACTIVITIES XXfhat's a good thyme for 'lin1p'? IX Lilacs waved a delicate green pattern toward the sky. The grass was fresh and lush. Spring beauties were everywhere, and the violets nodded to one another, happy in a fragile way. Bunny Boy senior sat on the damp ground writing verse and catch- ing cold. His brother had been doing it for weeks. It was spring! Bunny Boy senior heard a queer crunching noise near his ear. He looked up: It was his brother eating celery! Wl1at's a good rhyme for 'limp'? asked the elder brother. Bunny Boy junior looked carefully around to make sure no one was present, then, leaning over he whispered: Primp! both boys blushed, then snickered. The magnolia tree blushed too. All three felt very wicked. Oh, but I mean a word I can use in a poem. explained Bunny Boy senior. 'Blimp'? asked the younger brother, it's un-poetic, but it rhymes. Lets see if it works, the older boy continued, here is what I've written: Dainty green enlaces tree-twigs, Springtime always leaves me limpg Buds sprout out on many bush-sprigs: And my mind soars skyward, like a blimpf' ON THE CAMPUS? 27 Kick me too ! Bunny Boy senior went on: I feel as though I could write forever in that vein! Vain, indeed! Very . . muttered Bunny Boy junior hurrying away. He came to a mud puddle, and scraped around in it for a minute. Then turning toward Bunny Boy senior he hurled one last invective at the poetaster. He followed ir with a juicy mud pie. Out on the campus the magnolia tree blushed pinker and picker, and the lilacs still seemed ever so green . . . But Bunny Boy senior was hurrying home to take a bath. X Scent of summer Howers wafted over the campus. Insects droned, and buzzed and clacked, like horse-drawn ice wagons and old Fords. Somewhere on the campus the Bunny Boys stood, wistfully mindful of the academic procession marching slowly past Old Main. The elder brother turned to his companion. GeeI he exclaimed, if I had become a student sooner, I'd be in that parade! Bunny Boy junior bit his lip to hide the tears forming in his eyes. It didn't work. So, he sobbed, would I. Bunny Boy senior turned away from his brother and leaned over. Kick me? he asked. The younger boy did so. Then he turned away and leaned over. Kick me too! he commanded. And Bunny Boy senior did so . . . with relish. 280 ACTIVITIES Acknowledgments QJFD I-IAWKINS STUDIO Photographs E. R. MCKIBBEN Pantagraph Printing and Stationery Company Printing OWEN R.
