C. student put forth a greater effort in making this year one to be remembered, and to his sacrifice of personal time, interest... and hat. . . in promoting the best of understanding between administration and student, this initial edition of the lay Coe Tower is dedicated, for the entire student body feels that Acting Dean Boss Holt deserves more than a mere vote of thanks for the feeling he has stimulated in the lunior College.

X V ' BOARD UF EDUCATION T Dear Collegians: It is a great pleasure to have the privilege of expressing a greeting to the first annual ,published by the students of L. T. I. C. You are properly to be congratulated for your enterprise, determination, and business acumen. While the college is young, yet customs are in vogue and traditions are in the making and Time, the par excellence conditioner, is ticking along and in Its fullness comes strength and prestige and power for the good of the school which we proudly own as Alma Mater. Classroom and laboratory, field and forum, stage and mask, student and dean and professor, even the board in the hazy distance, all have their appropriate parts in this develop- ment. Sound scholarship, athletic prowess, an expanding curriculum, a growing social programme, a practical regard for others' welfare, are all evidences of a rounding out and a growth which will continue and be a tower of strength to I. C. and I-C-ans . The college tower whose name you have taken has its foundation on the solid rock. It will stand firm through sun and storm. lt is a strong and beautiful symbol. l hope it is a fitting one for your futures. The strength of our college will probably never consist in numbers but it can, and I confidently think will, consist in the quality of the influence it will have on the formation of character and ideals. L, T. I. C. - let high thy standards be! With best wishes from the Board, ROBERT C. FLETCHER, .

CLUB The Men's Club, composed of the entire male enrollment of the student body, began its season's activities properly with an effec- tive initiation of the greenhorns early in Sep- tember. The newcomers were welcomed into the organization at the Freshman Stag Banquet on September 17. Several weeks later, the two classes clashed in the annual class contest which include such light events as the sand bag race in mud, the tug of war, and pushball game. The fresh- men came out on top in the rope event-, but were beaten at pushball and severely trounced in the mud fight. The cmnual dance was given on February lO when the club sponsored the Valentine Hop to the music of Fred Merritt and his band. Irving Scheef fmanaged the affair. Throughout the entire year, the club fostered a series of ping pong contests among the members. Francis Dougherty, Leonard Swec, Hollis. Chase, and Irving Scheef gained posi- tions on the ping pong team. Officers for the year were Clem Brooke, president, Irving Scheef, vice president, and Alfred Reilly, secretary-treasurer. The coeds spend much of their leisure in the club room where they may relax, cook light lunches, talk, listen to the radio, or pos- sibly even study. UMEN' CLUB Activities for the Women's Club began with a Freshman Tea on September 10 for the purpose of acquainting the girls of the college with one another. As the next event on the social calendar, the women gave a very lovely style show to which they invited their mothers. Re- freshments were served later in the after- noon. In December they annual Mitzi party took place at which Mitzi received many useful and attractive gifts for the club room. lanuary was the month chosen for the Women's Club Dance. The Mother Goose motive was carried out in the decorations making it a unique affair. With May came the always lovely annual Mothers' and Daughters' Tea. As a climax to the year's activities, the freshmen honored the sophomores with a farewell luncheon. The officers of the Women's Club this year were: president, Kay Moorep vice-presi- dent, Helen Craigiey secretary, Kay Smith: treasurer, Letitia Saundersy and club room chairman, Shirley Ebert. Miss Banks was the club sponsor and Miss Warriner served as a Women's Club representative in the Student Council. A group of coeds chatting, as usual, in the Wo men's Club room during lunch hour .

Hockey, each Tuesday afternoon, opened the W. A. A. season last fall and was soon followed by a Field Day at the University of Chicago. Owing to the inexperience of the team, the La Grange hockeysters fared rather badly on that occasion, but a day of varied sports provided entertainment and fun for all. Tumbling, coached by lean Gabriel, was presented before a college assembly in November. With the coming of winter, much rivalry took place between the frosh and sophs on the basketball floor. The cage season was climaxed in February by a successful tilt with the class teams of Morton on their floor and anti-climaxed by a vain attempt to re- conquer the two teams in the home gym- nasium. In February twenty members attended a Splash Party at Thornton, taking part in the organized games of the afternoon. Later in the year, on May 8, ten coeds from the or- ganization journeyed to Morton to take part in a Co-educational Play Day. The year's activities were concluded when the fresh- men members participated in a Field Day at Wright on May 24. - A typical W. A.

Engineering Club was formed to create a better understanding of the prob- lems and applications of engineering. Sev- eral trips and banquets were planned to facilitate this idea each year. November 29 the club visited the Interna- tional Harvester plant, inspecting the general assembly of tractors. Later a banquet was held with Mr. Reilly as speaker on Artificial Refrigeration . On February 22 the club journeyed to the Carnegie-Illinois Steel Company in South Chicago. There, despite zero weather, the fellows witnessed blowing of converters, power plants, the open hearth, and ship- ping in a six hour trip. April 2 the engineers traveled to the ln- land Steel plant at Gary in the school bus, which was driven by Mr. Yearous of the high school. While at the plant, the fellows were shown very modern rolling mills, soak- ing pits, blasting, and processing. Officers for the past year were Alfred ReillY, president, who resigned in favor of Crosby Schmidt, previously elected secre- tary-treasurer. Mr. Wright, instructor of en- gineering, acted as sponsor and advisor. The Engineers draft the use of Mr. Yearous' bus and take a trip to Gary, Indiana, to look over the Inland Steel plant.

The German Club, under Miss Emerson's leadership, is an organization devoted to the fuller appreciation of the German language, chiefly through the medium of games, trips to German establishments, and talks by prominent speakers. Everyone in college who takes or Who has taken German is per- mitted to belong to the club, While everyone interested is invited to visit the meetings. This year, under Bill McConnell's leader- ship as president: lean Lokke, as treasurer: Frances Embshoff, as secretary: and Lor- raine Usack, as program chairmanp the or- ganization experienced one of its most active years. Meetings at the homes of the mem- bers Were the usual procedure. Whenever this was impossible the Women's Club room offered itself as an excellent substitute. According to most of the members, the out- standing highlight of the year was the trip to a German restaurant and movie in Chi- cago. As a finale to the year's activities, an out-of-doors meeting was held in the form of a picnic in a nearby' Woods. LE CERCLE Le Cercle Francais exists to give French students an added knowledge of French cul- ture and language. Meetings are held once a month in the evening, usually at the homes of the members. Miss Warriner, the French instructor, is the sponsor of the club, and her efforts have greatly contributed to the success of the club. French Club has enjoyed some very in- teresting meetings during the past year. One program was devoted to learning more about French music. French Christmas cus- . toms were described in a skit presented at the Christmas meeting, and a lovely tableau The French Club members bedeck themselves in na- tive costume a n d give a play depict- ing a holiday being celebrated by French peasants.

COMMERCE CLUB The Commerce Club was started in the spring semester of 1930 with Mr. Larson as sponsor and Francis Bernet serving as first president. The new club was supported by eighteen students and through the years the membership has increased continuously, so that in this 1937 season they had an average attendance of thirty. It is an established custom of the club to meet once a month for a dinner followed by short talks by members and guest speak- ers on topics of current interest in economics, finance, and banking. The purpose of the Commerce Club is not only to discuss cur- 1 rent topics, but also to gain experience in after-dinner speaking and in parliamentary law. The club sponsors several events during the year: these include the Spring Dance held in the Community room early in May and a trip to the Federal Reserve Bank, Chi- cago Clearing House, and the Board ot Trade. Officers, 1937: president, Clifford Wheel- ery vice president, Iohn Hlavacekg secretary, PGQQY Allisonp' treasurer, Sam Baarg ser- geant-at-arrns, Hollis Chase. W h at h a v e w e here?

Sponsored by Mrs. Grace Doherty, the club had as vice-president Ioyce Porter and for secretary-treasurer, Aldene Hupp. The club was organized into departments covering all of the important, but often ne- glected, fields of the theater. Speakers were obtained accordingly with many of the most prominent members of local dramatic groups appearing at the monthly meetings. In addition to these speakers two pro- grams Were presented in the form of ama- teur nights. At these programs every member was asked to contribute to the general at- mosphere of merriment. Two plays were also presented: The Flat- tering Word and The Line ls Busy . The club procured several books on the theater and a subscription to a dramatic magazine, all of which were for the use of the college. With the remaining funds they purchased an adequate make-up kit which was used extensively during College Capers.

TATE CHAMPS What can be done once can be done a second time . . . according to Coach lack Boge and his crew of basket slingers . . . and consequently another gold trophy bear- inq the inscription, Illinois Iunior College State Champions-1937 stands next to its predecessor in the college office. For the second straight year, the Bogey- men came out on top in the state tourna- ment, the feat being accomplished this year by a spectacular trouncing of Ioliet in the finals of the tourney. The howls of triumph, emitted at the sight of a scoreboard blink- ing 58-45 in favor of La Grange, still ring in the rafters of the local gymnasium, the scene of the fray. The season's play was a bit better than average as can' be seen by the record on the next page. The squad looked rather slow at the beginning of the season, a condition probably attributable to the fact that there was but one sophomore on the team. The remainder of the outfit were freshmen who, although most of them had played high school basketball, were unfamiliar with BOQIe's style of play. Later on, as the caq- ers began to work in better Synchronization, the scores started to mount. As a result of effective pass plays under the basket, the team began to pile in enough baskets to- boost the average scores considerably. -Because of exceptional play especially during the state tourney, Captain lohn Hlavacek and Clarence Klindera wer e awarded positions of first team guard and forward on the All State Team. Bill Henning was placed at center on the second team, and Howard Ball was given Honorable Mention. Nor did these ratings indicate that there were only three men on the team. Les Skeels, stocky little forward held down a first string position throughout the year, despite the fact that he had never played high school basketball. Henry Moore, an- other inexperienced cager, added speed and scrappy' guarding to the lineup. Perry Obalil, lack Ruse, Guy Brown, and Gilbert Krueger formed an excellent auxiliary crew for substitution. Henning's efficient work in the center circle combined with Clarey's torrid passing and scoring and Check's unfailing steadiness supplemented the work of the others to make a team that will be a credit to lack Boge throughout his coach- ing years.

About a dozen and a half men engaged in this premature competition and thereby gained experience equivalent to an extra year of track. Kid Kenyon encountered difficulties in arranging a spring schedule of conference meets because most of his squad members happened to be industrious lads who were employed on Saturdays, the only time when the track teams of most of the other colleges in the vicinity were available for competi- tion. However, with the advent of spring came the Armour Relays, in the University of Chi- cago Field House, really testing the mettle of the Kenyonites since they were compet- ing with men from four-Year colleges. Hank Moore, the colored flash, qualified in the preliminaries for the sixty yard dash but failed to place in the finals. Bob Pouch- a speedy four-forty man, and Seth Anderson -a lanky highjumper, were also-rans . CK Along in the first part of May, the track men staged an inter-squad freshman-sopho- more meet at which time the younger mem- bers were victorious, thanks mostly to the efforts of the lightning-fast Moore, W ho ranked first in the hundred yard dash, the two-twenty, and the broad jump. Perry Obalil, a dark-horse, took the two-twenty low hurdles in stride, just nosing out Al Booth. Bob Meaden, pride and joy of the sophomore class, starred in the distance events, as usual. Bill Henning, beefy weight- man, placed number one in both the shot- put and the javelin throw. Stork Rullifson took the scoring honors in the discus and the high jump. After another practice meet, this time with the high school, the Kenyonites swung into their regular schedule encountering North Park on Wednesday, May 127 the Elmhurst Invitational Meeting on Saturday, May 15, a triangular conflict with Wilson and Morton on Saturday, May 22: and the Illinois State Iunior College track meet on the twenty- ninth of May. V , This state meet corresponded to the state junior college tournament' and the colleges represented were: L. T. I. C., Wilson, Wright, North Park, Morton, Concordia, and possibly Ioliet and La Salle. - NL, fl' , :SQ if XSL- or y f's-cw' ., . ,A so-'Qi CQ t- iffgq jf .sf-... . a..- 4 ,sm N..

The 1937 presentation of Col- lege Capers in the afternoon and evening of April Z3 netted for Director Critchfield and Chairman Wheeler a hit deniable by no one. The staff supervised by Miss Critchfield and directed by Clifford Wheeler included Rosalie Remund, dances: Betty Schuyler and Kay Moore, costuming: loyce Porter, make- up: Aldene Hupp and Wilbur Bohnhoff, music: Francis Dougherty, publicity: Irving Scheef, tickets: Alfred Reilly, dramatics: Iohn Hlavacek, stage and scenery: Roy Kadera- bek, head usher: and Charles Allison, light- ing effects. The general theme of the 1937 Capers was a March of Time, showing bY HIGGINS Of skits and music the outstanding events of the year. Some of the featured highlights were as follows: .a skit called Father Time, in which the aged gentleman is aroused to inter- est in the expectation of great news events: a satirical slant at the Supreme' Court pack- ing scheme, entitled Startling News from Washington, D. C. twritten by Betty Schuy- lerl: a view of the British coronation jdifficul- ties called, lf Mr. Baldwin l-ladn't Been Such' a Nasty Man : an odd presentation of blackface in Eugene C'Neill Writes a Minstrel Show : and a humorous view of radio advertising and children's programs, Vitamin D Comes to the Merriweathers. Aided by Wally Smaus and his orchestra, dance numbers included solos by Rosalie Remund and Frances I-leseltine, a soft' shoe chorus, a military tap drill, and a tap chorus in the Supreme Court skit.

BA EBALL , In the past few years the aspirants to this game of games have valiantly sought to fimly establish the imprint of baseball in our college history. This year has brought their hopes closer to the peak, as many en- couraging developments have arisen. Last fall a petition, or rather an 'inter- ested list, was brought to light, signed by a number of fellows. Les Skeels, perhaps I. C.'s most enthusiastic baseball supporter, brought the list to the attention- of Coach Boge for his approval. The hopes for a large squad were slashed, however, when spring arrived, as at least three-quarters of the fel- lows were engaged in laboratory courses which extend through practice time. A doz- en men remained, this season, batting off their utmost to put that imprint in our school history. A As spring came, so did some important additions to the squad's uniforms. New caps and shirts now complete the local apple-knockers wardrobe. For the benefit of the readers, a brief in- troduction to the squad is given- Behind a maze of pads and with his face in a bird cage, we see Iohnny Hlavacek. He has just caught a fast one from pitcher Klindera, or is it Skeels? Howie Ball, new from New Trier, is snagging a liner at first. Ed Allison, in his usual cloud of dust just caught a steal at second. Tiedt, quiet' and intent, stands at third, ready for anything. Hank Moore, shortstop, finds his position quite a busy one on the double plays and line drives. Henning, Klindera, and Obalil back up the boys with famed outfielding- and also the batting-average list. After a warm-up game with the Alumni, the hard heartless hitters swung into their regular conference schedule--North Park on' April 16: loliet, April 267 and Herzl on the thirtieth of the month. In May the lads met Wilson on the third, Morton on the morning of the fifteenth, Wright on the nineteenth, and Lisle on the twenty-fifth. Coach Boge has high hopes for a still better team next year because most of the squad will be back with one year of college base- ball behind them.

Under the leadership of Lor- raine Usack, a group of equestrians was or- ganized. ln the autumn the group chose to ride on the beautiful bridal paths of Palos Park, and in the spring they rode in the woods south ot La Grange. The season was closed by a big outing with plenty of good things to eat. Members of the club were: Lois Belknap, Phoebe Ann Ford, Frances Gramse, Caroline Krohn, Lillie Mueller, Ed- ward Napier, Ruth Payne, Marcella Symmes, Lorraine Usack, Lucille Usack, and G-ladYs Walters. FENCING Under the instruction of Iohn Kenyon, fenc- ing was introduced this year as o: new and popular sport. Both men and women par- ticipated in the art of thrust and parry. Classes were held twice a week and exhibi- tions were given at the basketball games. Mr. Kenyon planned on an interscholastic fencing tournament, but because of the short- age of time, that event had to be postponed until next year. Outstandnig material for such matches will be Lorenz Gerlach, Seth Anderson, Nancy Hurlbut and Frances Gramse.

Overmier and Swec seem to have hit something. This year the Iunior College Debate Con- ference, of which La Grange is a member, chose an interesting question for considera- tion, i.e., Resolved: That all electrical utili- ties should be governmentally owned and operated. Mr. Kenyon was the debate coach this year, while the squad was composed of Leonard Swec and Richard Cvermier, who took the affirmative stand, and Edward Kelly and Barbara Klose, who upheld the negative side of the question. At the beginning of the season most of the members of the squad gained valuable experience by coaching high school debate teams in preparation for an intramural tournament which was held before Christmas. Before the beginning of the official conference season, the squad members held practice debates among them- selves and with L. T. H. S., Northwestern, Morton, and with two Wheaton College teams. During the conference season La Grange met teams from North Park, Wright, La Salle, Wilson, and Thornton. The final record showed five wins and five losses. As a result of their forensic activities the mem- bers ofthe debate team learned much about influencing people through the medium of spoken word. ' Bigler, Murphy, Puffer. A CAPPELL Under the direction of Mr. C. F. Dissinger, the choir presented their'first concert at a college assembly early in the school year. The second cause of active preparation was the annual production-College Capers. The month of May witnessed an especially busy time for the choristers. Their schedule in- cluded: participation in the Parents' Night program, a concert at the Argo Community High School, and a lovely presentation in the Community room ot L. T. H. S.

COLLEGE NEWS Noted for its informal and often revolu- tionary style, the College News had a staff recruited mainly from the freshman class. The journal was published and on the stands each Tuesday and Friday after wild editorial sessions on the preceding after- noons. lohn Sweitzer was appointed editor with Wilbur Bohnhoff following in the next posi- tion-assistant editor. The highlight of the year was the daily issue during the state basketball tournament. To provide variety of style, guest editors reigned occasionally and for the week be- fore Capers the faculty did the dirty work. TOWER Last fall, in response to a growing senti- ment in favor of a yearbook for the college, the student ,council investigated the situa- tion. A petition, which was circulated among the student body, indicated that the project would be enthusiastically supported. After receiving the approval of the board of edu- cation, the council appointed a staff includ- ing: lohn Sweitzer, editor, Wilbur Bohnhoff, assistant editor: Robert Fouch, photographic eclitorp Charles Allison, business manager: and Roy Kaderabek, sales manager. George Hinchliffe, the local photographer, took the sophomore and faculty portraits as well as the group pictures.
