Trevor Vice-President .. Heten Russety Secretary Treasurer The class of 1926 has come to a parting of the ways. Of course we cannot realize it is all over. It seems but yesterday when we started our college careers as green freshmen, but we have spent four years within the portals of Knox. Very well do we know what these four years mean to us. If we came to college to get knowledge in the form of book-learning, we have succeeded, some, better than others. Even with our heads popping, one fact impresses us: we haven’t learned it all; there’s an infinite amount of learning still to be known. If we came for honors, we earned them in every activity that Old Siwash offers and some that we ourselves invented. If we came for associations, we are well satisfied that we now are wealthy in friends, friendships, and contacts with a group of worth-while professors, the best classmates ever known, and those Siwashers who have entered Knox after or grad- uated before us. The memories that we will carry away serve as a bridge between us and the College wherever we may be. Now that we have reached the top of the ladder it behooves us to recall a few of those events that we as a class will carry away as memories. et hb Hauger Alexander Those of us who started out in the fall of ‘22, remember our able president, Don Cummings and the good times of the first year. The crowning event of those early days was probably our overwhelming defeat of the Sophs in the annual class scrap. We remember certain of our members who started their careers by winning prominence, even though they were only “‘freshies.” Among the athletes were Senn, Young, Dicus, Imig, and Verner. These athletes repeated their success in the second year. To the list was added Huggins and Trevor in football, Alexander, Rapp, and Gabrielson in base- ball, and Tarpy, Senn, Huggins, Byers, and Lewis in track. Bob Kyle started to say things in debate and Joe Gray was a leader in Y. M. C. A. Rex Hopkins was in command that year. Last year, our junior year, was a banner year. Our teammates appeared in every activity. Juniors monopolized positions on the varsity football team. “Jug” Gabrielson, Simpson, Foley, and Gray showed their talents in dramatics. Lucien Field did a little bit of many things, among them editing the Gatr and teaching Latin. Phil Granville earned his key in debate. Ruth Schertz, Fran McGaan, and Connie Irwin were big Y. W. women. We could go on indefinitely recalling all the satellites of that year, for they were numerous. The good part of it all is they re- turned to Knox in the fall to make the class of ’26 write many accomplishments in Siwash history. Who of us does not give a great sigh when we go back over the stretch? Four pleasant years, crowded to the very brim with happy days, have passed on. Now we will be called alumni of Knox College. Who can foretell what we will do after our graduation? The future holds many surprises and, we hope, success for every member of the class of ’26.

Those who have helped make Siwash history for 1926 are Poole, who has earned his second varsity letter in basketball and Schraub who has won his second letter in track. Eddie Barren won his letter in baseball last year as well as in football this past fall. Barron, Sheehan, Schraub, Smiley, Rhoem, were on the traveling squad all fall. Dave Ross made his letter in basketball and Gil Larimer his in baseball. The sophomore girls have also been prominent in athletics. The basketball team won the inter-class tourney and the hockey team beat all its rivals. Such ath- letes as Shafer, Waddle, Voorhees, and D. Johnston have dominated girls’ athletics and W. A. A. this year. Space must be given to Judith Shafer for the prizes she earned by winning the rifle shooting match from men and women competitors. Searcely can a class boast of such a versatile chap as Wade Arnold, who among other things was the first sophomore in history to be elected to Theta Alpha Phi, honorary dramatic fraternity. In Players’ Club, Johnston, Mackemer, Parmenter, Halper, Kelly and Smiley played leading roles. Lindsey, Arnold, and Everett were on the Men’s Debating teams and earned their keys in Delta Sigma Rho. Blanche Halper was on the Women’s Debate team. Everett, besides being president of Gnouthautii, was elected president of Y. M. C. A.

SIXTY-TWO 1927 GALE Felt Wheeler As soon as the novelty of college existence wore off a bit, the freshmen students and athletes settled down to the task of laying the foundation work for four constructive years here: the freshmen football squad, under the tutelage of Coach Jackson, distinguished itself against the varsity; and the embryonic Phi Beta Kappas in the class won several straight “A” averages for the first semester. Mike Roberts, a speedy quarter miler, won his letter at the Illinois Relays on Knox’s victorious mile relay team. Ward and Bedner almost won their letters in baskebtall the second semester. Eckman and Belsley showed promise in various fields of athletic endeavor. The Class of 1927 has already distinguished itself on the field of battle as well as on the athletic field. The Freshmen won the annual scrap with the Sophomores which was held dur- ing the first weeks of the fall. In February, they achieved great distinction once more by beating the Sophomore basketball team, thus enabling themselves to put aside their grass- colored hats.

Trevor Prot..J.A..Campbell Mark Kessenick Kellogg D. McClelland William Senn Willis Terry Prof. R. T. Wiltbank George A. Lawrence The Athletic Board of Control as its name signifies controls the athletic poli- cies of the college. The Board, which consists of a President, Vice-President, two undergraduate members a faculty member, the Business Manager of the college and two alumni members, meets once a month to regulate the athletics of the school It has jurisdiction on all matters pertaining to athletics in the college. Its powers include the retaining and the discharging of coaches, the affirming of athletic sched- ules, the appointment of managers for athletic teams and the subsidizes of the ath- letic department of the college. In matters of legislation the President and the Vice-President of the board have no vote. The Alumni, the faculty representative and the undergraduate members make all decisions. In order for a man to be eligible to hold the office of under- graduate member he must have made a letter in one of the major sports. There are no requirements for the other two positicns elected from the student body. SIXTY-FIVE SIXTY-SIX 1927 GALE The Coaches JOHN VAN LIEW Coach John Van Liew has just completed his third year as athletic director of Knox College. He came to Knox from Champaign High School, where his teams were phenomen- ally successful. -Athletics at Knox were in a very sad plight when he took charge of them. Inside of two years he put out a championship football team which was one of the best Knox had ever had in all its history. Coach Van Liew emphasizes above all, good sportsmanship aud clean playing. His teams have been noted all over the country for high standards in this line. Mr. Van Liew recognizes that although it is his duty as a good coach to win athletic contests and to put out strong teams, yet this is only a small factor compared to his real task—that of making he-men and good sports out of the boys put into his charge on the ath- letic field. It can be truly said of him that he has achieved great success in this aim. He is noted fer requiring his men to live up to training rules and is to be commended. for this fact. COACH EARL E. JACKSON Coach Jackson assumed the position of Physicai Director and Track Coach at Knox in the fall of 1924. At that tirne intramural athletics were at a standstill and the track team amounted to practically nothing. His first year he had a championship track team and since that time his men have been leading contenders not only in the Midwest and Little Nineteen circuits, but also in the National Relays each year. Coach Jackson has instituted in Knox College an intramural athletic system which brings practically ever y man in college into athletic competition of some sort. Intramural have come to occupy a large space in the center of interest of the college students. Since Coach Jackson’s regime at Knox, the athletic equipment of the college has been increased more than twofold. By his own efforts he has caused to be built the indoor track, and 100% improvements made upon the cutdoor track. Under his able direction the State Meet was run off last year in the most creditable fashion in the history of the event. In addition to his work as track coach and head of the intramurals, Jackson coaches the freshman football team each year, and in this capacity has contributed greatly to the suc- cess of the varsity eleven. COACH C. W. MacFERRAN For a number of years Coach MacFerran has trained the Knox Baseball teams. Mac- Ferran is an old Three-I league star and knows all of the tricks of the trade. No matter what sort of material he is given to work with, Mac always turns out fighting teams that the fans enjoy watching. 1927 GALE “K” Council The “K” Council is composed of all the men who have made major letters in any sport. The Council under the leadership of Mark Kessenick, this last year has done much toward bettering athletic conditions in the college. The “K’” Council works in co-operation with the Athletic Board of Control and the coaches.

Statistics taken at Knox would seem to disprove this theory. Accord- ing to the lists made up by Mark Kessenick, President of the “K” Council, the aver- age scholastic index of men in the council is better by .5 than the average of all of the rest of the men in the school. Two athletes, Rollin Huggins and Jack Lewis, were elected to Phi Beta Kappa, U. C. Honorary Scholastic Fraternity, this year. The Hunter Scholastic Trophy This Trophy presented by Dr. George W. Hunter in 1920, is awarded to the two-letter man who makes the highest scholastic average during his Junior year in college. This Trophy was awarded to Dean Spaulding Trevor for 1924-1925. Dean made letters in both Football and Basketball. Trevor won this cup with the highest average ever made by a two-letter man, 1.607.

Harrison 1924-1925—Dean Spaulding Trevor SIXTY-EIGHT FOOTBALL Football, 1925 Eleven Letter men answered Coach Van- Liew’s call when the practice season opened in the fall this year. Bill Senn and a team composed almost entirely of veterans lined up in the first practice scrimmages of the 1925 season. ‘The schedule faced by the Knox eleven this past year was probably the toughest ever undertaken by any Siwash Grid Team. Besides the almost invincible West Point team, Beloit, Cornell, Carleton, Coe, and Monmouth were to be met, not ex- cluding McKendree, claimants to the 1924: State title held by Knox, and Augustana. In addition to Senn, Trevor, Huggins, Imig, Dicus, Wiley, Holmes, Rice, Verner, Kessenick and O’Neil, all letter men, sev- eral promising men from the 1924 Squad were out. Bogue, Hughes, Baron, Schraub, Smiley and Alpers appeared in uniform. Unfortunately Alpers was forced to leave Bill Senn school soon after the season commenced Rosy Rice Captain and was lost to the team during the crucial ; games of the year. Knox had one of the best teams in the middle-west in 1925. In spite of the fact that wins were not recorded in very many of the games this is true. No team defeated Siwash by more than a two touchdown margin, and Knox was never beaten until the last few minutes of play in any game. The weather was perhaps as great a factor as any in all of the games. Capt.-elect Knox had a fast team. Unfortunately every game of the season excepting one was played in either rain or snow. This hindered the Knox machine to a great extent. The one game which was played on a dry field Knox won 34-0. In this game Knox walloped McKendree, claimants to the I. I. A. C. championship. Before proceeding with the game s of the season it will be well to note the playing of some of the stars of the Knox aggregation. Bill Senn, Captain and Halfback of the team, showed himself to be one of the best backs in the middle-west if not in the whole nation in this past season. Critics were unani- mous in picking him for mythical honors in both of the local circuits of which Knox is a member. His long gains around end, made possible by his brilliant open field running, were unparalleled in this part of the country, except by the peerless Grange. In addition to this Senn was noted for his punting. Throughout the season his punts averaged over 55 yards in Jength. Dean Trevor was the other outstanding Knox star of the past season. Trevor playing at left tackle, contributed more than any other one man to the sterling Knox defense throughout the entire season. Playing against men nearly twice his size, Trey never failed to break through the enemy’s line and pull down men from behind. In the Army game and in the Cornell game Trev especially distinguished himself. To Wayne Rice, plucky guard for the last two years, goes the responsibility of leading a fighting team next year. Rosy was chosen by his teammates as captain for the 1926 team. Rice has had five years’ football experience in high school and in college and should be a good leader for the team that is to be. KNOX 12—AUGUSTANA 0 In the initial game of the 1925 football season, Knox traveled to Rock Island to drub the Swedes 12-0. The game was played on a muddy field in a continual shower of rain. The Knox machine did not have an opportunity to get under way at any time. Fumbles were fre- quent because of the weather conditions, but Knox proved to be slightly more adept than Augustana in recovering the pigskin. George Tucker’ playing his first game at center, fell on the ball behind the Augies’ goal line for the first Knox counter. The other was made by Senn in a line play. Knox led the Augies all the way and carried the ball most of the time. Augustana was unable to make any gains to amount to much through the Knox line. SEVENTY 1927 GALE KNOX 34—McKENDREE 0 In the second game of the season played on October 3, Knox trounced McKendree 34-0. Bill Senn had his one dry field for 1925 in this game and ran hog wild over the invaders from the south. McKendree line could not stop any of the Knox Backs and it was only be- cause Van Liew ran in second team men early in the game that the score was not much higher. The McKendree backs did not gain more than a yard or two through the Knox line at any time. WEST POINT 26—KNOX 7 The game toward which Coach Van Liew pointed his men for the season, was the Army encounter at West Point, October 10. Twenty-five men, including the coach and Manager Good, made the trip. The game was played on a cold day under a grey overhanging sky. Knox threatened the West Point Goal line early in the game twice, but fumbles prevented a score. Several times during the game the Knox line held on the cadets one yard line. The only scores made by the army were on long runs around the ends. In the last quarter Senn ran 65 yards through the entire West Point team for a touchdown, BELOIT 7—KNOX 2 This game, which was Beloit’s Homecoming, was played in a continual downpour of rain. A fumble by Senn in the first two minutes of play resulted in a touchdown for Beloit, which was the only score made by them throughout the game. A few moments later the Beloit quarterback fumbled behind his goal line, but recovered for a safety. The rest of the game was the same thing over and over, Knox would carry the ball up to within the Beloit twenty yard line and lose it on fumbles or on downs. Seven times the Siwash boys threatened Beloit but they could not score. Beloit didn’t gain an inch after the first score. CORNELL 7—KNOX 6 With her line partially crippled from the Beloit game, Knox entered into the homecoming struggle with Cornell. The game was practically even throughout. Cornell made several long gains on end runs and passes by Dean, her quarterback, while Senn broke loose a number of times for Knox. Dean crossed the goal line in the third quarter for Cornell’s marker. Senn picked up a fumble in the fourth quarter and ran 70 yards for Knox’s score, he failed to kick goal. This was the toughest battle of the season. COE 8—KNOX 0 This contest was not a football game it was a ski contest. The whole game was played in a blanket of snow over a foot deep. Snow flurries came on periodically all during the game. Neither team could hold the ball long enough to make any consequential gains. Late in the fourth quarter, Coe put over the drop kick which won the game. SEVENTY-ONE 1027 ICALE LEREHEE WR BY BRD CARLETON 12—KNOX 3 The game with Carleton seemed to be all Knox’s until the fourth quarter, when the northerners opened up with a series of passes which the Siwash backfield was unable to stop. Senn and Kessenick starred in this game. Senn made a 45 yards drop-kick. SEVENTY-TWO MONMOUTH 12—KNOX 0 The Thanksgiving Day game with Monmouth, was a heartbreaker to the Knox fans. The game was a draw until the final quarter. Knox gained repeatedly through the Monmouth line, but seemed to be unable to score. Monmouth’s gains amounted to practically nothing. In the fourth quarter Monmouth opened up with a series of passes, which, as usual, befuddled the Knox backfield. Two touchdowns resulted.

Several of the freshmen showed great promise and will probably develop into varsity players in the next year or two. Chief among these were: Roland Ekman, Fullback; Neal Mann, Halfback; Jeffry Walton, Half and End; George Burton, Guard; Ignatius Matkovick, Guard ; and Robert Irwin, Center. SEVENTY-FIVE SEVENTY- SIX 1927 GALE WILLIAM SENN—Captain Left Halfback Bill led his team through one of the hardest schedules ever encountered this past season and finished it with an even stronger hold on the hearts of the fans than he enjoyed last year. Starting his career as a halfback last year, The Warhorse made himself known and feared throughout the conferences. One coach remarked, “If I had Senn I would not lose a game.” Against the Army, Bill made a sixty yard run for a touchdown which was one of the things which brought to him honor- able mention on the All-American selections, and placed him on every mythical eleven of both conferences. WAYNE RICE-—Captain-Elect Left Tackle Rosie played his first college football last year and towards the end of the season was one of the stars of the line. He played a heady, consistent game and was always fight- ing, which won for him the respect of his teammates which in turn unanimously selected Rosy to the captaincy of next year’s squad. DEAN TREVOR Left Tackle Lardo was raised in South Dakota along with the rest of the Indians. He learned a few tricks in his younger days that opposing tackles could best describe. ‘Trevor, one of the lightest men in the line, never found a superior opponent. His lightning charge, coupled with infallible judgment of plays made him the nucleus from which grew an impregnable left wing of the forward wall. Treve had a way of making big holes out of little ones that was spectacular and at times uncanny, that placed him on mythical elevens of both conferences. For three years Trevor has played the tackle position and it will be hard to find a man that can fill the place which he vacates. MARK KESSENICH A hard plugging, sure ground gainer, Mark made a name for himself in Knox football history in the falls of ’21 and ’22. His return to school materially brightened the prospects of the past season. Kessenich was the hardest hitting man on the team, and was indispen- sable when Knox was pressed for yardage. ‘There never was a man who put himself more completely into the play, which accounts for Mark’s popularity with the followers of the sport. a a; © {1927 GALE EDGAR DICUS Half Back Doc finished his third year of varsity foot- ball by playing an excellent game against Monmouth. Doc was light, but he made up for his deficiency in weight with craft. Dicus wriggled and squirmed through the line of the opposing teams in every game of the sea- son. When a man was too big for him, he crawled between his legs. Doc was the most sure of all the Knox backs on defense and was especially adept at breaking up passes. RAYMOND HOLMES Right End Ray was the smallest man in the line, but he had plenty of the stuff so necessary to the game, “better known as intestinal stamina,” always carrying the fight to his adversary. Plucky and peppy, Holmes not only filled his own position, but was important to the morale of the team, for at crucial moments his shrill voice could be heard piping above the clamor of the game, encouraging the boys to keep up the fight. ROLLIN HUGGINS Left End Seldom were gains made around the left end of the Knox line, and when attempted, proved to be almost insignificant for that was Rol’s territory. Last year Huggy was given honorable mention in the All-American selec- tions as made by 365 of the leading coaches of the country, and his name appears in the first team line-ups of the state and mid-west all- star teams, RAYMOND IMIG Quarterback Ray was one of the pony trio and a mighty good field general, being able to size up any situation which confronted him and turn it to the best advantage without hesitation. Last year Ray played halfback part of the time and proved his worth as an offensive man, but his chief merit was his defensive play. Be- cause of his sure tackling he was placed in the secondary defense, where if a man_ broke through on his side of the line, he had little chance of evading Pops’ grasp. Ray was as reliable and steady in his playing as Gibral- ter, and nearly as permanent. In the last two years he has missed only a few minutes of play. SEVENTY-SEVEN 1927 GALE J. ROSS BOGUE Center Rossy came from down Vermont way, where they grow ’em big and husky. This year Ross worked in at the center position for the first time, and showed increasing adept- ness in handling the job in every game. With his natural football ability, this year’s ex- perience and a perfect physique, Bogue bids fair next year to make the center of the line as impregnable as it was under Hardie’s regime. MARVIN HUGHES Right Tackle Hughes was the biggest man in the outfit, and he made his size count. Under Van’s care- ful tutelege last year, Marv learned the funda- mentals of the game and this past season de- monstrated that he was well versed and had learned his lessons well. He always settled into the fray with a grim determination to perform and carried out his plans. He fights hard, steadily and is on the aggressive which marks the difference between a good tackle and one merely filling the position. Hughes will be back next year and much is expected of him. WILLIAM O’NEIL Right Guard Bill took up a new phase of the game this year, and did his part quite as well as he exe- cuted the duties of full back last year Possessed of the real college spirit, Duke fought for Knox throughout the year, turning in a good account of himself at the end of the season. Bill will be back next year for his last season, which should be his best. SEVENTY-EIGHT 1927 GALE EDWARD BARON Halfback Eddie’s talents were discovered last year when he got his chances in the Freshman scrimmages. Baron’s chief ability is in long end runs where he has a chance to exhibit his prowess as an open field runner, as well as passing and punting. Eddie has two more years under the Purple and Gold and shows promise of being a triple threat man, ranking among the better Knox halfbacks. REX SCHRAUB End Rex was one of the lightest, but speediest “men on the team. A hard, sure tackler and a fast open field runner, Rex was down on punts spilling the receiver in his tracks. The games in which Rex played, he exhibited fight and ability which will place him on the start- ing line-ups next season. Rex is just a Sopho- more and in the next two years should become one of the factors in Knox’s success on the gridiron, EVERETT GOOD Manager One of the boilermakers. The Kewanee boy, when he starts letting off steam, diffuses mer- riment to all sides. Crabbing is a thing un- known to Evy, and for this reason he was a big factor in the success of the trips this sea- son. Besides this quality he is capable in the manipulation of business affairs and was all in all a most successful manager. SEVENTY-NINE EIGHTY 1927 GALE Summary of Football, 1925 I. J. A. C.

All of these men had had years of experience and it was expected that a winning team might be made from them. Red Topping, who played with the “Y” college team his fresh- man year made the fifth man on the team which represented Knox for the games in the first semester. The Siwash five did not seem to be able to get going very well. Van’s team could not get an offense which would work at all. Throughout the entire season Knox relied on lucky breaks and long shots for their points against every team played. Once or twice during the season the boys seemed to be playing together and exhibited flashes of basketball as it should be played—but only for a moment or two. After the first few games the team composed of Van Norman, Trevor, Poole, Ross, Topping, and Holmes, began to work together fairly well. However, as soon as the second semester began, Holmes retired from the team and Topping was benched. Ward, a freshman, took up Holmes’ position as back-guard and Bednar played guard and forward. This new lineup didn’t improve Knox’s record any so far as wins and losses were concerned, but the the freshmen gained valuable experience which should assist materially in turning out a good basketball team next year. The Millikin game, February 6, was perhaps the best game that this second semester team played. Knox defeated Millikin 37 to 34 at the Galesburg Armory. The first two games played by the Knox five this year were away from home. Bad breaks prevented Knox from winning the initial encounter of the season which was dropped to Eureka 23-20. In the second game Wesleyan walked all over Knox. The first home game which Knox played should have been an easy victory, but because of loose playing, Lawrence College won, 19-15. Another close game was dropped to Augustana, 40-338. The Purple and Gold quintet were going at top speed when they hit Monmouth on January 26, and they won handily, 36-23. Fans left the Millikin game, at the armory February 6, convinced that Konx had a team after all. Dean Trevor went hog-wild in this affray and Knox won 37-34. The last game of the season, at Beloit, was another one which reflected credit upon Knox. Here again Trevor player a sterling brand of basketball. Knox nosed out Beloit 24 to 23. Si Bogue, Harper Roehm, Gil Larimer, Harry Frazer, Mac Verner, Jeffrey Walton, and Roland Ekman all showed up pretty well in the practices of the season. Coach Van Liew should be able to make a strong team out of this material. Lloyd Pool, forward on the 1926 team, was individual high point man for the season. Lloyd scored consistently in every game played. He was chosen by his teammates to captain the 1927 team.

Trevor’s strict adherence to the training rules throughout the season made him a shining ex- ample for the rest of the team. ‘Trev, playing a new and strange position this year, acquitted himself nobly on the floor and goes on record as one of the gamest, hard-fighting Basketball players that ever wore a Knox uniform. CLARENDON VAN NORMAN Center Van, playing his fourth year of Varsity basketball, was responsible for a large number of the points made by Knox during the sea- son. Van Liew built his offense around Van Norman, relying upon his expert long shots to win the basketball game. He finished high up in the scoring column, ILJLKGONAD) 12XOXON Lilt Forward Captain-elect Lloyd’s speed and ready basket eye garn- ered for Knox many points that would other- wise have gone unrecorded. Puddle was high point man on the 1926 team. Most of his suc- cess was due to his ability to pivot by the op- posing guards and sneak in a shot before they were on him. Lloyd was chosen by his mates to lead the 1927 team. ae 1927 GALE RAY HOLMES Guard Ray was a fighting back guard. Those op- posing forwards who worked the ball down the floor might have taken it past him, but they knew they had been thru something. This was Ray’s last season in Knox athletic s. He, like Trevor, competed in both football and basketball throughout his college career. He will be missed. DAVE ROSS Forward—Guard This was Dave’s first year of varsity com- petition. He is only a Sophomore and should develop into a great player before he finishes college. Dave had a dead eye and was a bear at making long shots. He was a valuable cog in Van Liew’s machine, JIMMY CARR Manager Jim Carr fell heir to the managership of the team when Cupie Sanders failed to return to college this year. He fulfilled his position capably.

Knox’s mile relay team was nosed out by Butler for first place. In winning this race Butler broke the old record by 7 seconds. Knox’s two mile relay team were nosed out at [llinois by Cornell college. The Mile relay team was composed of Senn, Tarpy, Huggins and Schraub. McCutcheon, Hamilton, Layman, and Schraub made up the two mile team. At the Drake Relays the mile team again ran in record breaking time, but were nosed out by Butler, who made the mile in 3:18 2 10. The two mile team ran fifth in this meet. The same day that the teams were at the Drake Relays, the remainder of the Knox track squad competed in a meet with Hedding College. The Knox remnants won easily, 98-33. On May 2, Knox met Northwestern College in the first dual meet of the season. Knox won the meet 95 to 36. In this meet four Knox records were broken. Bill Senn ran the 220 in 217 10, breaking the old record of 22 flat. Lloyd Poole performing for Knox for the first time, made a record breaking jump of 6 ft. ee a a 1 in. Johnny Heath broke the oid Javelin record with Tarpy a throw of 175 ft. 2 inches. The Knox mile relay team Capt. 1925 clipped one second off the old mark by running the mile in 3:24 9 10. On May 11, Coach Jackson’s men were nosed out by Coe in the last event of a dual meet, 72-64. Bad breaks caused the loss of this meet. Johnny Heath tumbled just as he was about to win the Hurdles race, Phil Hill could not get the poles fixed to suit him, and Huggins couldn’t get off the ground. The consequential loss of points lost the meet. Knox took Monmouth into camp May 16, 86-48. on Willard Field. The day was chilly and rainy, so no record-breaking performances took place. The feature race of the afternoon ended when McCutcheon of Knox beat the highly touted Congdon in the half mile. THE STATE MEET The annual meet of the I. I. A. C. was held on Willard Field, May 23. The meet developed into a two-sided affair between Knox and Bradley, although teams from about twenty other schools were entered. Bradley nosed out Knox in the final race 43 to Knox’s 41. It was a heartbreaking affair. Nine records were broken in this meet: Brooks of Northwestern took 6 10 seconds off the old Mile record, Carter of Bradley threw the shot 45 feet 6 inches for a record and then threw the discus 130 feet 4 inches for another one. Bill Senn of Knox won the 220 yard dash in 21 5 10 for a record, Lloyd Pool of Knox made a record breaking high jump Cramer of 5 feet 103 4 in. The Knox mile relay team broke Mgr. 1925 EIGHTY-EIGHT 1927 GALE the record in their event by clipping it off in 3:26 2 10. The standing in the meet was as follows: Bradley 43, Knox 41, [llinois College 13 1 2, Monmouth 13 1 8, Northwestern 105 8. There were fifteen other teams in the meet. THE MIDWEST MEET The Midwest meet was held at Hamline College, St. Paul, Minnesota, on May 29, 1925. The tra ck was in terrible condition on the day of the meet. Several bad breaks caused Knox to lose points which it should have had sowed up. Poole, jumping from a mud puddle, was unable to do anything in the high jump. A wet track handicapped Knox’s men in the dashes and fewer points were garnered than were expected. Knox with 23 2 5 points finished third in the meet which was won by Cornell with 321 2 points. Carleton was second with 30 points. The nine midwest teams were entered in the meet. Taken all in all the track season of 1925 was a very successful one for Knox. Under Earl Jackson’s coach- ing a well balanced track team was developed. Besides the old stars, several new men came forward who should Huggins assure the team of success for the next several years. Capt. 1926 Howard Tarpy, star in the quarter mile and in the dashes, was captain of the 1925 Track team. Tarpy was a junior in school at the time of his captaincy and competed again in 1926. Paul Cramer was manager of the 1925 aggregation. He functioned quite capably in this capacity and always arranged matters so that his charges were well taken care of on trips. Rollin Huggins, star in the quarter mile and the broad jump, was chosen to lead the 1926 team. Rol has won points for Knox on the track every year he has been in college, and sets a good example to the youthful aspirants to track honers who are under his charge. Owing to scholastic difficulties no sweater will be awarded for track manager in 1926. KNOX-MONMOUTH MEET In the first meet of the 1926 Season, Coach Jack- son’s track team defeated Monmouth 72'%-571%. The day was a perfect one for the meet and good perfor- mances were made by both teams. The classic race of the day was the half-mile, in which Congdon of Mon- mouth beat out McCutcheon of Knox by a foot in a whirlwind finish. The time was better than 2:02. Per- haps the closest jumping match of the season took place in the high jump. Poole and McIntosh tied for first place with jumps of 5 feet 1134 inches. Monmouth forfeited the mile relay to Knox, but Jackson's prides ran a neat exhibition race. Kuhl of Knox sprung a surprise when he copped first honors in Booch the javelin, with a throw of 175 feet. With this distance Mgr. 1926 we should rate high up in the state.

NINETY-ONE 1927 GALE Coach Jackson Roberts Schraub Tarpy Huggins The Mile Relay Team 1926 With the exception of one man, Coach Jackson had the same men in his mile relay team that had been running for the past three years. Mike Roberts, a Fresh- man, stepped into Bill Senn’s shoes and has been doing almost as well as the Macomb giant did. The team had their first competition of the year at the [llinois Relay Carnival, where they tied with Ohio Wesleyan for first place in 3 minutes, 28 seconds. On April 17, Coach Jackson took his proteges to the Kansas Relays, at Lawrence. Here the team ran their race in the best time of the year, 3:25.1, but were nosed out at the tape by the fast Occidental team from Los Angeles, California. The Knox quartet had an easy time winning their event at the Drake Relays, held on April 24th, at Des Moines. Running on a slow track, Huggins, anchor man for Knox, came in way ahead of his nearest competior. The time made was 3:32.5. Year by year the relays are increasing in prominence and more attention is now being turned to them than to any other single track event. It is significant that the Knox showing in this new and popular phase of athletics should be the very best at this time. NINETY-TWO = 1927 GALE Coach Jackson Haste Schraub McCuichan Layman Two Mile Relay Team 1926 In addition to the fast mile team, Coach Jackson has developed a two mile quartet possesed of no mean ability. Led by McCutchan, who is sure to turn in his half in 2:02 or better in every race, Schraub, Roberts, and either Haste or Layman form a team that is hard to beat. At the [linois Carnival this bunch running with- out Roberts came in fourth in 8 minutes and 18 seconds. At Drake, the quartet composed of Roberts, Schraub, Haste and McCutchan, were also fourth in 8 minutes 23 seconds. This time was made on a slow, wet track, however. LOY DePOOLE Lloyd Poole, who holds the Knox record for the high jump at 6 feet. 1 inch, also entered in the Kansas and Drake relays in the individual events. Lloyd competed with the best University men in the country in these events. At Kansas he tied with M’Ginnis of Wisconsin for second place at 6 feet even. Shepard of Texas won the event with a jump of 6 feet 4 inches. At the Drake relays, owing to the wet weather. the jumpers were forced to take off from a plank. This was a great handicap to some of the men. Both Shepard, who had won the Kansas event, and Poole went out at 5 feet 8 inches. NINETY-THREE 1927 GALE | Summary of Track, 1925 Te SAS CaM EEE.

MIDWEST MEET Cornell Carleton DUAL MEETS KINETY-FOUR 1927 GALE 1925 Baseball With Morton Armstrong, piteher on the 1923 Team, back in school, and Frank Utter, veteran outfielder, in the fold, prospects for a successful season were quite bright in the spring of 1925. Coach McFerren’s team finished the season with a record of six victories and ; eight defeats. However, all of these games were lost by the closest of margins. Mace had an infield that was hard to equal in the state. Wally Christopher on first, Van Norman at 4 second, Eddie Baron at shortstop, and Captain Foxy Hobbs at third made a combination worthy of a big league team. For outfielders Mac had Frank Utter, Butch Klien and Otie Morrison along with Ballie Jurkonis. These boys did their part in stopping flies for Siwash. Morton Armstrong carried the brunt of the pitch- ing during the season. Every game in which he worked was a close one and those he lost were mainly through lack of support and weak hitting by his teammates. Gil Larimer and Trent Weiss hurled in the games when Lefty was not working. Both of these men showed great promise, but exhibited eee lack of con- trol. Billie (Daniel) Boone did mét of the catching during the year. Donn Armstrong worked with his Capt. Hobbs- brother a number of times, however. The Siwash athletes opened the season off with a bang in beating Cornell in a midwest game 12 to 3. The second game of the season was with the tough Bradley organization. Failure of the Knox batters to hit, cost Armstrong the game 4-0. SS Se Perhaps the closest game of the season was the one with Coe, which Knox lost 2-1. Here again Knox failed to hit and Army lost the game. However, Lefty got back at the Kohawks later in the season when Knox trimmed Coe 8 to 1. Siwash cleaned up both games of the series with Augustana 6-5, and 4-2. Playing games on consecutive days Knox split even with Carleton. The northerners won the first contest 4-2, and Knox took the second 5-2. Knox also won hadily from Northwestern College, 8-5. The team played good ball all thru the season and was a credit to Mac’s coaching. Me should have a championship team in 1926, with Morton Armstrong back in the fold for his fourth year. Armstrong has received a great number of good profes- sional offers for his services after graduation. He had a try out with the Chicago White Sox in the fall of 1925. He is a good hitter as well as a stellar pitcher. Mgr. Johnson NINETY-SIX Baseball, 1926 A late winter and an especially sloppy spring delay- ed Coach McFerren’s ball players from getting into shape until late in the spring. With Morton Armstrong, star left handed twirler for three years, as captain, prospects for a winning team were especially bright. McFerren however has had to build up an entirely new outfield and infield for the season of 1926. Baron and Van Norman of the 1925 infield formed the main cogs in his new machine. Ray Klein, formerly an outfielder, was shifted to first base and Chuck Bednar, a Freshman, filled in at shortstop. In the outfield, Walton, a freshman, Whit- man, second string in 1925, and Gil Larimer made up the Knox fielders. Donn Armstrong was slated to catch his brother all year. This group presents a nice fielding aggregation, but a bunch of weak hitters. Armstrong is the only reliable bat- ter on the team. However, McFerren has always been able to develop a man’s hitting ability to the fullest extent. The team should round out well and be a sure winner. The first game of the season was played with North- western College of Naperville, on Willard Field. Although this was the initial encounter for the Siwash boys, North- western had played two games previously and were conse- quently playing smoother ball. A bunch of errors in the first two innings let Northwestern win the game 5-8. After the second inning neither team scored a run. As Lefty Armstrong’s arm was sore, Gil Larimer did the pitching for this game and did admirably well. Loose fielding counted for all of the runs scored against him. Armstrong let the Swedes down with only two _ hits and Knox bianked Augustana 6-0, in the second game of the year. Army and the whole team were going in Midseason form. There was only one error made by the Knox players in this game as compared with six or seven in the previous one. McFerren’s team showed remarkable improvement in this game and should develop more before the end of the season, Knox defeated Illinois Wesleyan at Bloomington on April 30, by a score of 8-7. Larimer and Baron appeared on the mound for Siwash in this contest, Larimer pitching the greater number of innings, but Baron receiving credit for the victory. The following day Knox was blanked by Millikin, 3-0. The game was close, and McFerren’s athletes are determinted to even the count in the return engagement with Millikin later in the season. Armstrong pitched Knox to another shutout victory on May 7, when the Purple beat Coe, 5-0. The sensational fea- ture of this game was furnished by Klein and Baron, who knocked homeruns in the same inning. On the same day Coach McFerren announced that he had added another game Armstrong Capt. °26 Allen to the Knox schedule. His team will play Macomb Normal!

In addition to Patterson and Murray Smith of the preceding year’s team Murphy, Diemer and Messick made a formidable group. In the state championships, Mead Messick and Murphy went into the finals in doubles, while Messick and Ted Diemer, both Knox men, were the finalists in the singles. In the final Diemer won from Messick for the championship. Messick had beaten Diemer consistently up to this time, but was tired, due to his participa- tion in the doubles meet as well. Prof Carl Strow coached the Knox boys and also entered in the State faculty event. Tennis, 1926 The prospects for another championship seemed rather slight when both Diemer and Messick failed to pass the eligibility requirements for 1926. However, Knox stock rose again when the accomplishments of Jack Latimer, a Freshman, were noted. Jack has proven himself the equal of both Messick and Diemer on the courts and should be able to do as well as either of these men in the State event.

Negley, State Champion for three years had graduated and Bjorkman, who had always played close to the top. was not in the best of form for the meet. Hewitt was the highest man that Knox placed in the tourney. Fred Pankey and Earle Loudenberg were the other Knox entrants. Galtereae Knox is practically sure of first place in the State meet this year. Jack Lati- mer, a freshman, should have a cinch for the top honors. Jack has been a final in the Arizona State Amateur tournament for the last two years and also has ranked high up in various middle western tournaments. Jack holds the course record with Bobby Jones on his home course at Flossmoor Country Club with a 70. In addition to Latimer, Forrest and Fred Pankey should be contenders. Other members of the 1926 Golf squad are: Edward Rea, Stephan Hewitt, Paul Cramer, Earl Loudenberg, Frank Belsly and Ray Kelly. ONE HUNDRED THREE 19027. GALE Hughes Hall Morrison Tinkham Cramer Messick Kyle White Pool Intramurals BOARD OF INTRAMURAL MANAGERS In the three years which he has been at Knox, Earl Jackson, Track Coach and director of intramural athletics, has been able to systematize intramural ath- letics and place them on a highly efficient foundation. The greatest step which Coach Jackson took was to create the Board of Intramural managers which super- vises all of the activities in this field. This board is composed of nine members, one representative from each of the fraternities, one representative from the Union Club, and the Manager of Intramurals. It is the duty of this body to supervise all of the athletic contests and to make the awards in connection with Champion- ships and the like and to keep track of the points for the Cooke Trophy. COOKE INTRAMURAL TROPHY To the Fraternity, or Union Club organization, which gains the greatest num- ber of points in intramurals throughout the year is presented the Cooke Trophy, a Wall Placque. This is the third year the various organizations have competed for the Trophy. Beta Theta Pi won the trophy in 1924, and Phi Delta Theta won it in 1925. The sports in which competition for this trophy takes place are: Basket- ball, Kitten Ball, Tennis, Horseshoes, Cross-country, Track, and Swimming. In addition to this Trophy a cup is given to the winner of each sport, a medal presented to the members of the winning team. ONE HUNDRED FOUR 1927 GALE Cramer ' Furrer Bogue R. Dicus Roehm E.

The Phi Delts were undefeated in the race. In addition to the 35 points gained in games won, the Phi Delts received 25 extra for the championship. The Union Club placed second, while Alpha Theta Alpha was third. CROSS COUNTRY The annual intramural Cross-country meet was won by the Union Club, who garnered 49'4 points in this event. The Union Club’s win was largely due to the running of Thompson, who crossed the finish line before any of the other contestants were in sight. Beta Theta Pi was second with 38 points and Phi Delta Theta was third with 2634. HORSESHOE PITCHING The Sigma Kappa Psis won the W etherbee Bros. Trophy in Horseshoes with 27 points. The Betas and Phi Delts, intramural favorites, received quite a setback in this Farmer’s event. ONE HUNDRED FIVE 1927 GALE SWIMMING Phi Delta Theta completely swamped the re- maining teams in the Swimming meet. With four firsts, two seconds, a third and a fourth, the Phi Delts garnered 34 points. The nearest competi- tors were the Phi Gams with 14 points. Topping and Pride, placing first and second in the 40 yard dash, made time better than 22 seconds. The Phi Delta 160 yard relay team composed of Pride. Ekman, Johnstone, and Topping clipped their event off in 1 minute, 37.5 seconds. The Phi Delts won the Wm. A. Terry trophy for this champion- ship. TRACK Earl E. Jackson Director of Intramurals Beta Theta Pi with a well rounded team of athletes led by Roberts and Mann, won the intra- mural track meet and the Kellogg and Drake trophy. The Betas took 42 points in the meet. Their nearest competitors were the Tekes with 19 points. Mike Roberts, Beta, set new records in both the quarter and the half mile. Egbert, Beta, set a new record in the 50 yard dash.

Great interest is shown by the girls in Tennis, Hockey, Basketball. Swimming, and Indoor Base- ball. Miss Riggs is largely responsible for the de- velopment of this enthusiasm among the women of the college. The Women’s Athletic Association is the organization on the campus which has come to be intimately connected with everything con- cerning female athletics. Wi Ape. W. A. A., only two years a national organiza- tion at Knox, is fast becoming one of the strongest and best known groups on the campus. The pur- pose of the association is to foster-athletic interest among Knox women and to make fitting awards to Catherine Riggs Women’s Athletic Director those who enter into competitive games. To do this, interclass tournaments are sponscred in sports such as hockey, volley ball, basketball, swimming and baseball and in tennis intercollegiate matches are arranged. The fact that it is now a national organization has given added zest to athletics among the women. Wolfram Hall Ranney Women’s Tennis Team ONE HUNDRED SEVEN 1927 GALE Women’s Athletic Association Membership in the Woman’s Athletic Association is based on points gotten by participation in any interclass tournament and by hiking or horse back riding as well. The club took in a large number this year who had gathered the 200 points necessary for membership. Besides stimulating interest, W. A. A., gives honor awards for additional points. Any member who makes 1,000 points after her ini- tiation is presented with a white sweater with a purple and gold “K.” The nine women wearers of the “K” are: Mary Isabelle Trotter, Helen Russell, Harriet Rich, Frances Watson, Helen Thompson, Virginia Leonard, Frances McGann, Mabel Auld, and Frances Churchill. One of the most unique events of the years was the rifle meet in which Judith Shafer won the Knox college rifle championship by defeating Wilbur Rogers, the best shot among the men. Helen and Ruth Thompsen also won prizes in the meet. Bad weather prevented the finish of the hockey season, but the seniors were conceded the championship as they had not been beaten when the rest of the schedule was called off. The seniors again showed their fight when they took first honors in the swim- ming meet held in the high school pool. The sophomores were close seconds in this tournament and the freshmen placed third. In the basketball tournament the sophomores emerged victorious with the juniors in second place in the championship race. The interclass tennis meet ONE HUNDRED EIGHT 1927 GALE � Fill Se A. 6 UF Sophomore Basketball Team Interclass Champions resulted in the selection of Edna Ranney as the champion to represent Knox in the tennis matches with Monmouth, Bradley and Millikin. In these intercollegiate matches Edna and a doubles team composed of Marjory Hall and Alice Wolfram showed that Knox women can hold their own in tennis. Every spring an exhibition is staged by W. A. A. and Miss Catherine Riggs. this year taking the form of a three ring “Circus” with Judy Shafer as ringmaster. It is designed to show every phase of gymnastic activity and to give entertainment as well. A feature of the evening was a basketball game between two picked teams composed of Ellen Bassett, Mary Voorhees, Helen Poindexter, Jean Waddle, Har- riet Rich, Katherine True, Louise Hoagland, Eva Dell and Darlene Johnson, Eliza- beth Sterenberg, Marjorie Padeski, Louise Buckley, Helen Russell, Marguerite Bechtold, Mary Lipsy and Judith Shafer. Athletic interest in the spring is centered around the selection of the best all around athlete in college, picked by a committee composed of Miss Catherine Riggs, president of W. A. A., and three other members. Qualifications for the honor are excellence in athletics, interest and co-operation in the organization and the re- quisities of a true “gocd sport.”” The choice this year has not been made, but so far Gladys Dodds, Edna Ranney and Alice Wolfram have been the only ones to receive this honor. With the honor goes a pennant bearing the insignia of W. A. A. ONE HUNDRED NINE ONE HUNDRED TEN: 1927 GALE Summary of Intramurals 1925 Cooke Intramural Trophy won by Phi Delta Theta.

The Student Council is a representative legislative body containing members selected from each of the four undergraduate classes. Each class does not have equal representation in this body, as the majority of the members are Juniors and Seniors. The Student Council controls practically all of the extra-curricular activities of the student body. Its social committee is general chairman of all college func- tions. The council also supervises all student elections and regulates the student publications. By means of the student activities fee the council subsidizes these publications and debates as well as the forensic activities of the students. It is the aim of the student council eventually to take over all the problems of student government. At present it is the official mouthpiece of the students and in this capacity acts as the go-between for the students and the administrative com- mittee of the faculty. The council of late has become the recipient of many of the protests which before its existence would have been directed at the faculty members. The Student Council consists of eight Senior members, six Junior members, two Sophomores and one Freshman. When a person is elected to the student council he remains in office until he graduates or otherwise terminates bis college career.

Every woman in the college belongs to the association. The governing board of the association consisting in five Senior women, three Juniors, and two Sophomores acts as the executive body. The Board controls all of the functions in which the women of the college as a body are interested. It also is the disciplinary body for all women. Its powers are subordinate only to those of the Deans and the Administrative committee of the college. Under the direction of this board, various social functions are he!d throughout the college year. Most important of these is the Christmas Prom which is held the week before the Christmas holidays each year. A committee of women is appointed by the board to take over the responsibility of this event.

Tupss MEMBERS OF THE CABINET Albert Gray Rex Schraub Walter Mackemer Stanton Prentiss James Conger Cheng Chen Allen Reed Johnston Thomas Richards Ripley Everett Milford Scott Joseph Gustafson Ray Pfieffer Carl Colby Carl Campbell Gerald ‘Tunnicliff Guilford Larimer The Y Cabinet this year set out with a view to settling the problems of the college, the country, and the world, by means of a series of conferences and group discussions on these subjects. During the-course of the year many great things were accomplished. At the Intercollegiate Y. Conference in Evanston during the Christmas holidays the delegates de- cided to condemn the system of military training in colleges now in vogue in the United States. The Knox delegates spent most of the year after that time in defending their stand upon this question before the student body of the college. In addition to the above mentioned aims, the Y. M. C. A. has devoted the year to bring- ing the men of Knox College into ways of clean living and clear thinking. Within the next few years it is expected that the Y will launch a campaign against the smoke evil which exists among the men of the college. ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-TWO 1927 GALE Secretary Irma CralG Treasurer Vera Gray Frances McGaan MEMBERS OF THE CABINET Ruth Schertz Katharyn True Vera Gray Blanche Halper Florence Hall Irma Craig Virginia Leonard Marjorie Nash Helen Brown Harriet Simpson Frances McGaan Helen Pierson The Y. W. C. A. in the past year has co-operated with the Y. M. C. A. in all of its programs. The Y. W. C. A. also has sponsored the “Big Sister’? movement which leads to a spirit of better feeling among the women of the college and of the world. In addition to these activities the Y. W. C. A. has been prominent because of its work with the Free Kindergarten in Galesburg. All of the women in the college co-operate in this work. The Y. W. C. A. also sponsored along with the Y. M. C. A., the Sunday evening Vesper services and the Pumphandle, which was held at the beginning of the year. ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-THREE 1927 GALE President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Gnothautii Literary Society is one of the oldest organizations in existence upon the Knox campus. Since its founding it has had as its members, those individuals most actively engaged in the college literary field. The society meets once every week with an object of discussing current events and of affording its members op- portunity to practice public speaking. For a good many years both of the literary societies on the campus have co- operated to a great degree with the public speaking department. Members otf Gnothautii have done more than their share during the past in the forensic activities of the ccllege. On the college debate squad the society was represented by a good number of its members. Lindsay, Arnold, Everett, Kyle, Oakes and Granville were members of the Varsity debate team. ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-FOUR {1927 GALE Secretary Treasurer Adelphi Literary Society has the distinction of being the oldest organization on the Knox campus. It was founded during the first few years of the college’s existence. Since the beginning the members of the Adelphi Literary Society have aimed to keep Forensics one of the leading activities at the college. At the meetings of the society held weekly throughout the year, the members arrange a program of debates, reports, extemporaneous speaking and the like. At one meeting each year the two literary societies together with L. M. I., the woman's literary organization meet jointly, at which time outside speakers of note are present and discussions are held on subjects of mutual interest. ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-FIVE 1927 GALE Spanish Club President £0 eer OE a5 ae ee er ee Maser AvuLip Vice-President Inez HaMMER Secretary Treasurer The Spanish Club of Knox College is a departmental organi- zation, the members of which must have successfully completed a year of work in Spanish. The club meets regularly every two weeks throughout the college year. At its meetings interesting programs are given, consisting of speeches, dialogues, and playlets, all of which are in Spanish. The aim of the organization is to provide all students of Span- ish an opportunity to learn readily conversational Spanish and to make the students familiar with Spanish idioms, manners and cus- toms. ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-SIX 1927 GALE French Club President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer The French Club, Le Circle Francais, is a departmental or- ganization of the same type as the Spanish Club. It also holds its meetings regularly once every two weeks throughout the college year. Programs consisting in speeches, dialogues, plays and the like are given by the members at each meeting. All of the con- versation which is carried on at these meetings is in French. As a result of practice in these productions many of the members of the club acquire great facility in speaking the language. Every year under the direction of Professor Kurz and other members of the Romance Language faculty the members of the French Club produce a series of plays which are given in Chamberlain hall and attended by all members of the student body. Performances of high calibre have been put on in the past year. ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-SEVEN 19027 GALE President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer The Biology Club is composed mainly of students majoring in the Biology department. Under the direction of Dr. Hunter and Assistant Professor Walton, this club holds meetings throughout the year at which matters of great Biological interest are discussed. Just as important as the heavy discussions, however, are the parties and social dinners which the club gives during the year. The Biology club also contributes greatly to the success of the annual Science Open House at which the doors of George Davis Science Hall are thrown open and the public at large is given an oppor- tunity to inspect the laboratories and rooms of the various depart- ments. ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-EIGHT 1927 GALE The Knox Cosmopolitan Club CHENG CHEN Jor GRay Secretary ET CASUT CT tee ee MarGueritE BecuToLp To bring about international peace through better understand- ing between the various nations and races of the world is the ulti- mate aim of the Cosmopolitan Club of Knox College. This is one of a great number of similar clubs in the various colleges of the country, all of which have the same purpose in view. It is the be- lief of the members of this organization that these better under- standings may be brought about much more readily if more inti- mate relations exist between the students of the various races and nations. This past vear the Cosmopolitan Club has been quite ac- tive on the Knox campus. At its meetings world politics, inter- national relations and religion have been discussed while at the same time the value of entertainment and mutual enjoyment has not been lost sight of. At one chapel period each year the members of the Cosmopolitan Club put forth their plea to the students and at the same time entertain them with various offerings from their talented co-workers. ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-NINE 1927 GALE Board of Trade OFFICERS President Grorce B. CooKke BOARD OF MANAGERS Paul B. Cramer Vinton C. Johnson Tom Allen The Board of Trade is composed of men majoring in the de- partment of Economics. These men hold dinner meetings at regu- jar intervals throughout the year at which business problems and atters of economic interest are discussed. Professor Curtis and Campbell co-operate to a large extent with the managers of this organization in procuring well-known speakers of national reputa- tion to speak at the meetings. This organization is of the greatest value to men intending to enter business pursuits after leaving college. Through its meet- ings contacts are made with men who have made assured successes in their special lines of endeavor. —— President 1926 Heren Coins The Ladies Mutual Improvement society is organized among the women of the college for the same purpose that the two literary societies, Gnothautii and Adelphi. exist among the men. Their purpose is to develop in all of their members an abiltiy to speak when necessary and a feeling of confidence when public bodies are to be addressed on momentous occasions and when great interests are at stake. The Ladies Mutual Improvement Society again had charge of the girls’ inter- collegiate debating. More girls than ever before have gone out for debating this year. The meetings this year have been well attended, due to the keen interest taken in the contest for the Arnold Cup. In this competition. the Juniors and Sophomores comprise one group. and the Seniors and Freshmen another. The contest is based on a system of points, given each meeting by a regular critic on comparative excel- lence of work done by girls appearing on the program. Plays, debates. readings. book reviews, current events, and musical programs have been given at the different meetings. Simpson Dahlberg Holly Stiener W. S. G. A.

L. Menser, the Knox Players’ Club has maintained its high place in the activities of the college and has brought much fame and glory to Siwash. Knox has been very much favored in the past four years by the talented members of the Players’ club who have been in college during the period of time and who have appeared on the stage continuously since their freshman year. Senior members of the Knox Players’ Club include, Julian Gabrielson, Eileen Foley, Ted Rea and Harriet Simpson. The great success with which the Knox players have met is due largely to the efforts and ability of Professor Menser, who has directed all of the plays produced by the club.

Care Knox Productions, 1925-1926 “THE FAMOUS MRS. FAIR7- The first Players’ Club production of the school year was “The Famous Mrs. Fair.” This play was first produced by the club in the spring of 1925, and met with such a howling success that it was presented again in the fall. Ted Rea as Jeffry Fair, and Eileen Foley as Nancy, his wife, were thé stars of the show both in Gales- burg, where the play was presented twice, and in Kewanee where it was also put on, these Knox people received commendation for their excellent portrayals. DETER DYDD Ase Early in the Fall the club started working on “Thirty Days,” a light comedy- drama. Jug Gabrielson played the lead in this production and was well supported by Wade Arnold, Eileen Foley, Ted Rea and Reed Johnston, who had other leading roles. Several new satellites shone forth for the first time in this play. Lester Smiley, star in the Freshman play, and the four Tulsa boys Wade Arnold, Reed Johnston, George Willett and Ray Kelly, came to the front. (Kelly was property manager). “YOU AND I” Theta Alpha Phi, honorary dramatic fraternity, presented its annual play early ir January. In “You and I” Eileen Foley and Ted Rea played the leads. The other parts were capably taken care of by Harriet Simpson, Mildred Patty, Joe Gray and Prof. Menser. “SEVEN KEYS TO BALD-PATE” At the same time Theta Alpha Phi was working on its play the younger mem- bers of the Players’ Club were working on “Seven Keys to Bald Pate.” Joe Mackemer played the lead and did quite well. Wade Arnold as the Hermit made quite an impression on the audiences. The others carried their parts well. “PYGMALION” George Bernard Shaw’s “Pygmalion” was the last and by far the most difficult play presented during the season. The play was very well received and proved that Galesburg audiences were appreciative of something above the Orpheum degree of depth in the dramatic art. Wade Arnold, playing the leading role of Professor Higgins, created a very true and lifelike picture of Shaw’s man. Eileen Foley, play- ing the part of the Flower girl, reached the pinnacle of her dramatic achievements in her portrayal. Lester Smiley playing the part of Doolittle, a bum, made a terrific hit. This was the most difficult play ever produced by a Knox group. ONE HUNDRED SIXTY-EIGHT 1927 GALE Publications, 1925-1926 The three principal publications of Knox College are The Knox Student, weekly newspaper; Tur Gare, yearbook; and The Siwasher, humorous pub- lications. In the past K nox journalists, pseudo journalists, and other writers have made quite a creditable showing in the management and editing of these publications. THE KNOX STUDENT, Due to the fact that the editor was inexperienced and could not get the proper co-operation from her staff, the Know Student took a long time to get ‘under way this year. It had set quite a reputation the previous year, both for editorial excellency and general readability. Because of the student council ruling regarding publications, the Editor and Business Manager of the Student for 1925-1926 found themselves with quite a full treasury at the beginning of the year. Under the very capable management of Robert B. Kyle, the Student developed this past year into one of the most profitable publications in the country. The editor and the manager of the Student early in the year began the work of handing down their plaything to future generations of their own kin. The business manager succeeded in this aim by limiting the membership of his business staff, while the editor held up her end by removing all likely candidates for the position from the staff. In order to remedy such ill effects as this practice causes in college jour- nalism, Sigma Delta Chi, under the leadership of Edwin W. Young is working cut a plan for a Publications Board of Control which will take journalism out of polities, it is hoped. Theta Sigma Phi, women’s journalistic fraternity, is also behind this move. The college authorities have looked favorably upon this move for clean- ing up Journalism in the college and stand ready to back any arrangement which will successfully solve the problem. The plan to be submitted by Sigma Delta Chi will in all likelihood be accepted by the end of another year.

Corrigan, the Knox unit of the Reserve Officers Training Corps has developed to a high degree of efficiency as a military organization. This is the third vear that Captains Hedge and Corrigan have been in charge of the military de- partment at Knox. Since their period of control began an increasingly large number of students have been enroll- ing for the advanced R. O. T. C. work which leads to a commission in the Reserve of the United States Army. Captain Hedge, the commanding officer, has seen service in Mexico, France and in Germany. He is a grad- uate of the Fort Benning Military school. Captain Corrigan has also seen service on the Mexican border, in France an din Germany. He is a grad- uate of the Fort Benning Military school. Sergeant Greene has seen 28 years service in the regular army and _ has served in the Phillippines, the Hawaiian Islands, in Mexico, in France and in Germany. Next year will be the Ser- geant’s last year at Knox. He is about to retire on pension. Paul B. Cramer, Major of the Knox R. O. T. C. in 1925, is now a Second Lieutenant in the Reserve. He has spent two summers in military work at Camp Custer and at Jefferson Bar- racks. The Sponsors chosen by the military unit for this year were: Constance Hedge, Battalion Sponsor, Helen Brown.

It is on sublime faith in your sense of humor, Gentle Reader, that this feature is predicated. Much of it, perhaps, is permeated with the nettling stench of bygone witticisms and ageold jokes. For this we make no excuses, comforting ourselves with the ancient truism that there’s “nothing new under the son,” (as indeed there never shall be, since the hen lays the eggs). But, whatever may be your comment when you read on, please do not say those old, old things about “‘this has whiskers.” and “when I heard that I kicked the slats, etc.” Spare us so much. Some of our stuff is original—let us pray, most of it. Maybe it is a stilted, adolescent type of originality. But be patient, long suffering, and— Remember, if our quips and quirks Attract you not at all, °Tis from an empty firmament Our little braindrops fall. In the usual wild search for material to put in these pages, we have found it necessary to take a few liberties with the dignities and well-known weaknesses of certain societies, institutions and in- dividuals who honor our campus with their beneficent presences. We have tried, after the fashion of the careful agriculturist, to dis- tribute our material, in order that all may have a fair share of cul- tivation, and none may yield a superabundant crop of sour grapes or horseradish. So, in swallowing our thrusts, may your “‘resenters”’ grow calloused, and your funny bones more sensitive. Thank you, ‘and you're welcome, in advance. ONE HUNDRED NINETY-THREE 1927 GALE Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Imperial Ukase! Since all human institutions nowadays, from the United States Senate to Inter- national Rotary, have taken up the slogan cry of “better laws, better business, bet- ter babies, better beer—’ in fact better everything except “better not; and since college catalogues and campus bulletins constantly plague us with their programs for “better Knox,” the Feature Staff solicits the stylish privilege of presenting this series of suggestions for improving our defunct and desolated alma mater: 1. Installation of ash trays in the locker rooms of the gymnasium, and the pro- vision of ice chambers in each locker for the appropriate sheltering of spirits other than the college variety. (Not to be regarded as class legislation for the men alone). 2. Revocation of the Beta charter at Knox. 3. Automatic surrender of the Phi Delta charter, on condition that the faculty vote all members of the North Kellogg “ganglia of genius” into Phi Beta Kappa. 4. Installation of spitoons in the waiting rooms of Whiting Hall. 5. The placing of chapel speeches on such a high plane of uniform cleverness and appeal that the student body will have some motives, besides pure hypocrisy, for singing “Praise Ged from Whom ali Blessings Flow three Times a Week.” 6. The conversion of Sigma Kappa Psi and Alpha Theta Alpha into chapters of the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs respectively. 7. The establishment of a student mission for the reclamation of derelict faculty members, and the employment of Joe Gray as full-time secretary at a salary of $250 a year, and $26.45 traveling expenses. 8. The presentation of all members of Lambda Chi Alpha with one way tickets to Prague, Bohemia, as birthday gifts. For the benefit of the Tri Delts and Union Club we wish to explain that a spitoon is synonymous with a “gaboon” in your speech. ‘ Nobel Prizes - 1926 Of deep interest to devotees of science, art and literature is the announcement of the Nobel awards for 1926. Laudatory phrases are quite insufficient, superlatives far too insipid, and eulogistic tributes utterly inadequate for expressing the supreme measure of excellence attained by the above geniuses in their chosen fields. Pro- fessor Smirkoff of Tuskegee Institute bought twelve bottles of Castoria on the strength of Houdek’s probings in the realm of physics. California has given up painting altogether, now that Ed Young is in the field—and California has always been noted for its friscoes. Joe Gray’s gift for instilling that feeling of “what the hell’s the use, anyway” in the hearts of all men has, it is estimated, contributed more than anything else to the peace of the world—with the possible exception of Augustana’s football teams the past two years. And as for Mary Coggeshell and her achievements in the realm of architecture—Professor Sergis Tuzenuff, whose dis- covery of the round dozen completely upset Donaldson’s theory of relatives, was heard to remark the other evening: “Ah me—only the ivy-draped flying buttress on the east flank of Alumni Hall is more beautiful.” Whereupon he had another of his spells, and took three aspirins in a glass of hot water.

Each member of the fraternity triplets has its special place in the other more famous trinity, says our sophomore. Sigma Chi has contributed its famous sweet- heart ballad as the song part of the partnership. The wine element is more than ably cared for by the ninety-three chapters of Phi Delta Theta, with their enviable notoriety as topers most extraordinary. And the trinity of song, wine and women is made complete by Beta Theta Pi, with its reputation as the great national sorority!

Mary—‘‘They must be playing awfully rough bridge at the Phi Delt house these days.” Betty: (Since somebody has to say “Why?” in this joke, it might as well be Betty). “Why?” Mary—“I heard Trevor say he lost a leg to Johnstone yesterday.” “Papa, why does it always snow on the campus walk every Wednesday?” “That isn’t snow, son. That’s just powdered sugar, and the girls of the Theta Sigma Phi futernity has been selling doughnuts.” “My girl is so damned modest,” said the conscienceless Phi Gam liar, “that she nearly had a nervous breakdown the other day when she was in the bathtub, and a bullet came through the window and glanced.” AND SOME OF THEM ARE SHINGLED Judging from recent student election results, we have decided that most of the presidential timber on the Knox campus is above the neck. ONE HUNDRED NINETY-NINE 1OL7 GALE The Y. M. C. A. Zealot’s Dictionary of Inspiration As interpreted by the college junior who is a sophisticated convert to Menckenism: Challenge—An obscure commodity which always crops up, like the saxophone solo in a jazz selection, at Y. M. C. A. conferences. Detectable, in microscopic quantities, in the autumnal address of the Hon. Stitt Wilson. Service—The war-cry, ensign, and ever-babbled shibbeleth of all modern gospel mummery. Shouted ceaselessly from the minaret of smugness by the muezzins of Rotary, the Y. M. C. A., and the “Christian” college. Designed to be oft-iterated, but seldom ap- plied. Internationalism—That genial process whereby an African negro, with a poisoned arrow in his loincloth, embraces a southern planter who retains a blacksnake whip behind his back. Intelligentsia—A_ repressible group of individuals who read books other than the Bible, Pilgrim’s Progress, and Robinson Crusoe. Dangerous, because they seek to reason, affect cynicism, and are not moved by emotional appeals to “hit the sawdust trail” and “catch the gleam.” Vision—The stock in trade of all religious secretaries. The thing which makes martyrs of St. Paul and Joan of Arc, and damphools of college Y. M. C. A. cabinets. Wild Oats—An alluring grain, pleasantly fermented, indulged in by Phi Delts, Betas, liberal- minded members of the Union Club, and certain of Pi Beta Phi; but shunned and scourged by every true heart in the upper-classes of Phi Gamma Delta. “WE’LL TELL THE COCK-EYED WORLD!” The world has many obligations and worries. The world owes us a living. The world is waiting for the sunrise. It’s love that makes the world go ’round. The World War made the world safe for the democrats. All the world loves a lover. “Laugh and the world laughs with you.” And old what’s-his name says “God’s in his heaven, all’s right with the world.” So what the hell, Earnest, what the hell! SAYS THE SENIOR SAGE: With the past four years four deadly perils have threatened the sanctity and peace of the Knox Chapel service. In 1922 the crunching of peanuts vied with the mellifluous tones of the chapel speakers. In 1923 the rhythmic impulses of stamping feet drowned the sacred music. In 1924 the absence of the dean menaced the maintenance of the status quo. But this year! ah Knox is in the grip of a far greater calamity. How, in the name of all our traditions, are we going to get rid of the choir? (Just like a senior—that. Goes four years to college, and all she’s learned is how to present a problem, and then end it, not with a solution, but with a rhetorical question).

House, Knox College, are revealed. The day is a gorgeous one in early December. ‘The springtime sunshine is marred only by general cloudiness, and periodic splashes of rain, accompanied by hailstones that fall at precise intervals of 10.4 seconds, which, by a strange coincidence, is the exact time in which Howard Tarpy can run the 100-yard dash. Several members of the Tau Kappa Wopsilon eating club are grouped about in typical collegiate attitudes. They are all nattily attired in green plush tuxedos. One gathering—which obviously hasn’t come to a head yet—is sing- ing “Hail Knox All Glorious,’ with cl ose harmony—so close that it is painfully in need of ventilation. Some of the boys are hot and furious at a game of smash ball, and still another group is engaged in a virile game of Cheesit. Several drunken non-sorority girls are watching them with evil and cinders in their eye. First Teke—“Well fellows, we’re the boys with the real fraternity spirit, after all—eh, what?” Chorus of Tekes (drearily)—‘Yes, brother, we have spirit—we HAVE spirit!” (At this point Wesley Gee enters the scene, and turns several handsprings. His bicycle follows after him, stretches leisurely, yawns twice, and lies down obediently in a corner of the tent. Mr. Gee reminds us all of the fun-loving Rover). Gee—“Yes, fellows, we have the real spirit, even if our drawing room windows do look out upon the bottle-studded backyard of Beta Theta Pi.” Chorus of Tekes—‘Teke-hee, teke-hee, teke-he, he he he!” (They are evidently amused, in their wholesome, simple way, at the witticism of their brother). Enter, a gentleman. Much fawning and cringing among the obsequious Tau Kaps. The Gentleman: ‘What he, minions! The Tekes gradually wither, and fade into the scenery. This happy metamorphosis, in addition to being pleasing to the eye, is accompanied by the singular scent of bath salts, rubdown and hydrogen sulphide. Only Gee is left. He goes to the spigot at the side of the house and prepares to wash himself of the whole affair. Gee: (dramatically, and with silence that echoes through the room)—‘Phi!” He draws a machine gun from his left inside pocket, and shoots himself on his exit. The Gentleman. (With a genial smile)—‘What a blessed coincidence that he should have brought that gun.” Curtain TWO HUNDRED FOUR {1927 GALE The Gossip Shop 1 We might write about the choir, And little Billy Bailey’s grin— But we never did believe in per- petual motion. Nor do we like the lady songsters’ Way of rolling their hose— So that rules that out.

Perhaps we'd better Talk about the weather. But that subject is all wet— Just like college parties, Where Phi Gams, Tekes and Alpha Thetas are wont to gush With scented breath—but stop, We mustn't talk about The weaknesses of others!

WE WONDER HOW MANY WERE PAUL-BEARERS? We have it on very creditable authority that the Phi Mus were planning to have their formal this year in the handsome new undertaking establishment, just south of the Santa Fe tracks. The plan was abandoned, however, when one of the sister- hood more clever than the average member of the coterie, bethough herself that the party would probably be dead enough anyway, without the sinister and aggres- sive mental suggestion of the stained-glass, morguish atmosphere.

Her answers are af- fectionate, sincere and full of common sense. Questions which the applicants, for personal reasons, do not wish answered here, will be answered by mail, providing the letter contains a self-addressed envelope, and $4.33 in stamps. A prize of $5 will be awarded for the best letter each week. Letters from husband seeking spinsters will be answered by male. Dear Sally: I have been going with a young man for twelve months. He has been kind. but he has made no progress in the direction I most desire. How can [I in- crease his interest? Down-hearted Delta. Dear Delta: Remember: flattery is the most po- tent tool of designing woman! Flatter him, subtly or openly, as the nature of his character, sensitive or rougher, may dictate. Remember, too, that con- stant dropping weareth away the stone. Yours for fruition, Sally. Dear Sally: I am nineteen and very much in love with a brown-eyed, but cautious young man. He is twenty-one. We are to- gether only about three times a month. We generally spend the first two-thirds of these evenings in mild spatting. Neither one of us has a very highly developed sense of humor, although mine is superior to his. Now Sally, I love this man very much, and his busi- ness prospects are good. But some- how, we never get beyond the “holding hands” stage. Can you help me? Disturbedly, Lovelorn. P. S. I’ve named my three boudoir dolls after him. TWO HUNDRED TEN Dear Lovelorn: Your trouble is evident, even from vour brief but passionate note. You never get beyond the “holding hands” stage. The moral is—skip it. You are evidently suffering from an inferiority complex. I have to use my sense of humor to sympathize with you at all. Name your dolls “Henry” and get in there and fight a little, dammit. Yours for better hearword, Sally. M’Gawd, Why Do They Spend Four Years at College (Editor’s Note: We hate to admit it. But this is a senior woman’s idea of the Christmas prom, as wrote by herself). The dance is at its height. The or- chestra is producing a_ species of melody, a provocative jazz-mad_ tune. The giddy twanging of the banjo, the blare of the saxophones and the meas- ured thump of the drum unite in a wave of sound that bears the dancers around the room in a rhythmic flow. The hall is dim, and the dancing figures are seen as through a mist. Most of them dance silently, clinging tightly, moving with perfect unity and absolute tempo(?). The general impression is as of dis- ciples performing a sacred rite aro und the high altar of their cult. The music stops, the embracing figures disentangle. Laughter and chatter make a cheerful din. Then the orchestra leader, like a high priest, starts the devotees again around the room, fair bobbed heads pressed against black shoulders. Only the shuffling of feet and the minor whine of the saxophone stir the crepe paper decorations.
