Now you think I am digressing, but I always come back to my point. Why, the very idea ! Now friends and fellow citizens — Dear me ! Dear me ! How distressing ! Now girls there is just one word that expresses it. What is that? A hem. Young women, Young Women You must have a conscience about your l)ody as well as about your soil Surely that wasn ' t the last bell — Pier-o-zone. Pier-o-zone — Remember matches are cheaper than gas. Girls! Girls! That makes me so dizzy! and that color is too anemic! Now at Michigan University — 19 As our President is always looking forward, we deemed it wise to do a little looking backward. 20 2J 19 I L L [ W 0 C 0 18 Miss McLaughlin, raeultv Adviser.

(With apologies to Holmes.) Have any stiff grinds got mixed with us girls? If so, put ' em out! — the priggish youJig churls. We are all sweet girl graduates, l)lushing and fair ; And delight in oui- privileges naught could impair. At the fountain, of knowledge eternal we ' ve sipped And into books on all sul)jects we wisely have dipped. We ' ve a trick, we gay senioi ' S, you may have been told. Of acting (in public) as though we were old (?) It ' s a neat little fiction— My ! Yes ! But it ' s schliek ; ' ' To be called dignified seniors — that ' s quite a trick. To one of our member, to George we have lent That grandest of titles, our class president. There is one we call Jakey and one we call ' Phyl. And our Chainy and Hooky — they (luitc fill the bill. And then there ' s deai- teacher, the pride of our class From tall Iky mama to the littlest lass. And Ora and Mal)el, they dazzle us quite But even they ' i ' c not our whole firmament bright. Stars of less bi ' illiance shine as steady as they And theii ' twinkle a i)art just as gaily does i)lay. There ' s Billy, our athlete, and Hy her tecond Whose like in oui- history has never ])een reckoned. Then Johnny with Stu. G. and NoT ' ma efficient; In making things go, they ' re sui-ely sufficient. There ' s Esthei ' who ' s won out in the Home Economics race And newest of our numliers ai ' c Vera and Grace. Here ' s to Mary so quiet (?) and LaVone with her ai ' t. Oh! How as gay seniors can we ever part! 39 30 19 THE WEARERS OF THE GREEN An ' is it the Junior ' s story yez would be hearin ' ? Faith an ' we be that modest ' tis rarely we mention oursils, for it ' s Wearers of the Green we are. ' Twas on St. Patrick ' s Day in the marnin ' thot we came marchin ' all bedecked in green into the chapel ; ' twas then, m.i Colleen, thot the Dear Mr. Marker an ' his bunch recognized us as The Wearers of the Green. Shure ' twas a foine day, one long to be remiml)ered in the college. Ye should ha ' been there, a-hearin ' the foine song we were singin ' — Oh, Freshmen Dear, ami did ye hear The news that ' s goiii ' round Tliat the green grass is springin ' up TTpon the campus ground. St. Patrick ' s Day, we now Avill keep His co ov thall be seen You always know the Freshmen, By the wcarin ' of the green. An ' the hand clappin ' that greeted us; an ' when we sang — We met with Dr. Harker, An ' he took lis by the hand All ' i-aid, How are the Pre hmen An ' how do they stand? They ' re the most delightful people That ever you have seen You always know the Freshmen By the wearin ' of the green. Wliy Dr. Hai ' kei ' an ' his i)unch they just wept, tliey wuz tliat happy. IMany are the glad I ' cmarks they were after sayin ' to us — hut tlie modesty of m e forbids. Twas a right gintle little lady that guided us the first two years that we wore the green; ' twas she that kept us peaceful and retirin ' like through the Sophomore period, the dangers of it; not mintionin ' prisent company at all. at all, but generally speakin ' , ' tis a conceited tribe are the Sophomores, but we were Wearers of the Green an ' the Saints forbid thet we be top-lofty-feelin ' . A busy year this Junior yeai ' has been, an ' ' tis a grand foine lady that ' s been sharin it with us. You should have seen the loikes of her a comradin ' with us up at Matanzas. ' Tis her that ' s an ever pi-isent help in fun and trotdile an ' proud we all are of hei-. ' Tis a Weai ' er of the Green she is. What! ye ' re not knowin ' what it is to be a Weai ' er of the Gi-een ? Shure an ' it means to be havin ' a kirowledge of the eternal Springtime in the heart of us, it means we ' re wantin ' our lives to be full of youth, an ' hope an ' love. Ah, me colleen, it ' s hopin ' , 1 am thot folks may always be knowin ' us by the Wear- in ' of the Green. 31 19 I L L I W 0 C 0 18 Ah ! me Colleeu, ' tis the comi-ado o ' the ' ' Wearers u ' the Green you do be gazin ' at. ' Tis proud we are o ' her. ' Tis us that appreciate the stroug steady helpfulness of her, as well as we ilo be enjoyin ' the (dever humor of our lady. Would ye kno Y a secret I ' Tis a rare one! ' Twas the faculty bunch that did lie after telling us so — Ye would have if ? Well, ye have noticed mayhaps the love we do be havin ' for her. Well ye wouldn ' t believe it — but the faculty liuuch do be after tellin ' the truth. ' Tis this. That ■.IS she do be lo Ah! but the modesty of us forbids. .Marcelixe Armstroxg, Tlieta Sigma, Jacksonville, 111.

We ' re for knowleilge, faith and service; We eaii prove the test. We ' re for Harker and the eollege, To them we ' II be true. Cheer, Freshmen! Cheer the r-olors! White and blue! What class could fail to win praise for itself and glory for its alma niator with such a song for its pass-word? Not quite two years have elapsed since eighty-four Freshmen, the largest class in the history of the college, first expressed all their youthful hopes and desires in their Freshmen song. Large not only in numbers, but large in pur- poses and ideals, as yet their laurels have been secured chiefly by maintaining the college standards. These same ideals were upheld by the sturdy survivors of Freshmen mor- tality who returned to form the Sophomore class in 1916. Although a de- crease in numbers was noticeable, this decrease became inversely proportional to the amount of their enthusiasm. We ' re for onr stuilent mass We ' 11 be the leading class. How in the world did you find that out? We told you so. 39 19 18 President Bess Seward Vice-President Florence McCloud Secretary Marie Hoag Treasurer Bernice Bowen Executive Board Representative Kitty Bunting ■Class Adviser Mrs. Ellis 40 41 19 18 FRESHMEN On October eighteenth and nineteenth 1916, the Freshmen of ' 20 arrived at T. W. C. Timidly they entered the big hall and then dutifixlly followed their big sisters to the office, to the accommodating Y. W .C. A. girls and up to their rooms. The first weeks were spent in accustoming themselves to the new sur- roundings and in overcoming homesickness, a condition which no seems im- possibly childish. Gradually they become acquainted with places of entertainment and re- freshment both in the College and in the city. They learned that week ends were made festive by special tables in the dining room and by fudge parties in the Cookerei. The suspense following the Dramatic Club and Glee Club try- outs was lightened by the Freshman picnic, the success of which was due in a large measure to the incomparable class advisers, Miss Anderson and Miss Benson. Through their Christmas party, too, they gained an enviable reputa- tion in the hearts of the Freshman. But the supreme test of the strength of the Freshmen was exam, time and — they proved their ability. The Freshmen may be young, they may be enjoying this year immoasui-- ably, yet secretly they are looking forward to the coming years at 1. W. C. with their good times, new friends and greater activities. 42 19 I I m il l I ■ [ L L I W 0 C 0 mill iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiinmi 18 1st Eow — Barton, Conway, Osborne, Hodge, Laughlin, Harker, Kennedy. 2nd Row — Davis, Ziegler, Metz, Kennish, Kennedy, Eddy, Meade, Harris. 3rd Eow — Hetherlin, Sipfle, Sconce, Thomas, Sherburn. 4tli Eow — Neff, Warner, Onken, Merritt, Webster, MeMurphj ' , Jamison, Chittick, Melntyre, Bishop, Eusk, Turner, Holder, Maggee, Moore. 5th Eow — Forler, Coon, Keplinger, Houk, Irwin, Garrison, Bunting, DuBois, Hodgens, Swartz.

W. C. societies. Never have members shown such interest and enthusiasm, and all annual and semi-annual meetings have been well at- tended, each one eager to help in any way possible. Probably the plan which met with the most hearty approval was that for the endowment of a Professorship. During the past four years, the contribu- tions to the Memorial Scholarships fund which was being raised in honor of Dr. William Fletcher Short, have grown beyond the $5,000 required for the scholarship endowment in his name, and many friends have suggested the en- dowment of a chair in President Short ' s name. When Mrs. Ward ' s animal re- port was given, showing a surplus of $3523.16 and outstanding pledges of $1530.30 on this memoi ' ial, Irs. Lillian Woods King moved that the fund be increased to the amount required. The motion was seconded by several and carried. There is also a surplus on President Harker ' s Scholarship of $1955.64, and pledges for $750.00 in addition. The motion was made by Mrs. T. C. Bird that these sums be used to found a chair in President Harkei ' ' s name. The mo- tion was seconded and carried. President Harker was present and on being- asked what sum would be i-equired for the endowment of a chair, said that he thought about $40,000 would be the minimum amount to meet the salai-y of the head of a depai-tment. We of 1. AV. C. and friends of the College hope for the early fulfillment of these plans, as the establishment of two sustaining funds would be of inestimable value to the College.

Tlie one organization of which every girl is a member, whioli takes pre- cedence over all others, and needs the support of the whole student body, is the Students ' Association. During the first semester of the year 1914-15, upori the recommendation of the faculty, the Board of Trustees granted to us the charter that has made oui ' s a true student ' s government. Peeling that an or- ganization of this soi ' t would inci-ease loyalty to all college institutions, call forth the l)est ideas and efforts, foster independence and develop responsi- bility, the students framed the constitution. The association is still new and has much to learn, but it has become deeply rooted and has made its influence felt. The success of the government by the students during the first of this year is largely due to the splendid leadership of Helen DeWitt. When her illness compelled her i-esignation, she was succeeded by the vice president, Johanna Onken, who has shown i-emarkable executive ability. The members of tlie association deeply regretted IVIiss DeWitt ' s resignation, but to Miss Onken they liave given the same loyalty. Together they have made this year another advance in the progress of student government at Illinois Woman ' s College. 58 19 I I I I MM I L L I W 0 C 0 II Ill iiiiiiiiiiiimiii 18 Bunting Gerrich Barnes Madden 8tnil.)inger Sale Towle Falkenstein The legislative power is vested in the association as a whole. A body made up of the four major officers of the association, and one member each from the Sophomore, Freshman and College Special classes, the house chairmen of Main Building and Harker Hall, and the Academy proctor, with at least one representative of the town girls, hold the general executive power. The ex- ecutive board constitutes the lower court, and from it alone may an appeal be made to the whole association as a higher court. To regulate the communitj life of our college, there is another part of the Students ' Association, Ivuown as the House Government. The governing power of this division is vested in a board of proctors, consisting of the association president, fourteen proctors elected by the house students, and the chairmen of the two houses. This body meets weekly for reports, suggestions and discussion of any new laws or regu- lations deemed necessary. These recommendations for new laws for the gov- ernment of the house life are presented at one of the monthly meetings of the student body where they are further discussed and acted upon. 59 S9 i I L L I W 0 C 0 18 Our President, Charming Johanna Rode off in a launch to Havana The Juniors sang ' Oh Dear Johanna don ' t go !

Here we are helped in every way to develop mentally and physically, and our college life would l e far from complete with- out its religious side. The devotional meetings and the Mission and Bible study classes bring the girls closer to a realization of the mutual help they may be to each other here in college and of what they may do fo:- others at home and abi ' oad. The week of prayer is lai-gely guided by the Y. W. C. A., and is one of the best times of our life. During the summer letters are written to the new girls by Association members, the girls arriving in September are met at the train by the Y. W. C. A. reception committee. As a means of getting acquainted, a large informal party is given the first Saturday night. The Association ' s good times are prominent all through the year ; ice cream and pie sales, the Christmas Bazaar, and a May breakfast in the Spring. One concrete et¥ect of our spirit is the widening of our sympathy and in- terest to take in our sister college at Madras, India. Not only do we help sup- port Madras College, but we have formed a personal sympathy with it and have ourselves learned many interesting things al)out India that we should not oth- erwise have known. The Social Service Circle is one of the most active departments of oui ' Y, W. C. A. There are classes in gymnasium work and cooking. Reading to the blind and sewing add to the duties and pleasures. The summer Conference at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, is an experience which once enjoyed, is never forgotten. It lasts ten days and, in addition to the de- lights of outdoor life, brings one in contact with inspiring religious leaders and causes one to form new and lasting friendships. This Conference is a sacred pleasure to all colleges connected with it, and helps much toward the one high aim of the Young Woman ' s Christian Association. 63 64 I G5 19 ( L L I W 0 C 0 18 BELLES LETTRES.

Until this time the Acad- emy girls had belonged to the College societies, but as the College grew, the Academy came to liave a distinct individuality of its own, and it was then de- cided to have only college girls in the College Societies. The Academea tends to unite the Academy girls in social life, stands for a high literary standard, and demands a certain standard of scholarship of its members. 74 75 Piles Wall tSlirader Seott Hei ' rmanii Irwin Hasenstah Frisbie Anderson Towle Athletic Staff President i [ii ' iam Andersoi Vice-President Irene Irwin Secretaiy Grace E.

Do let us take you in and show you around. On the main floor is the large white swimming pool. To the left of this is the long bowling alley. At the back of the build- ing are several dressing rooms and showers. Shall we go upstaii ' s now? Here is the large hall where our gymnastic exercises are to be carried on. The stage at one end is for our college stunts. Yes, it even has foot-lights and small dressing rooms. You like the mammoth fire-place at the side of the room? So do we. Can ' t you just imagine marshmallow roasts and corn poppings OA ei a snappy fire on a cool evening? The balcony is a real luxury. Now, the en- thusiastic girls can see and cheer the basket ball games all the better. We know we are to have good times and enjoy our work. Now we will have the healthiest college gii ' ls in the whole universe. We have one of the very best Athletic Dii-ectors, Miss Frisbie, and we have oui ' new gymnasium and so why not? 77. 18 THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION BANQUET Last spring- the Athletic Association held its annual banquet in the gym- nasium. Because we could see our New gym in the very near future we called this happy time our farewell to the Old gym. The room was gay with college colors and pennants. Every girl was bubbling over with happi- ness. President Harker awarded the prizes for the year ' s activities. Miss Jessie Wall, as captain of the Academy team which was the champion, of the school, was presented with the basket ball shield. Twelve athletic association pins were given to those who had shown special ability in basket ball or field events. At our next banquet we hope to have prizes given for swimming con- tests. Did we have a good time? We have been looking forward and eagerly planning for our next banquet, ever since. 78 79 19 iiiiiiiiii Hiiiiiiiiiiii m m ( L L I W 0 C 0 ' ■III 18 President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Chairman of Play Committee Members 1916-17 Marceline Armsti ' oni - Ila Brnin ' tou Louise Baker Anne Floi ' ctli Rutli Harlver Mary Hai ' rison Esther Hetherlin Margaret Hostetler Hazel Ingram Avonne Jamison Lavina Jones Mamie Kennedy Mary McGhee Maurine Motsenbocher 80 Eleanor Sherrell Marceline Armstrong Mary McGhee Louise Baker Anne Floreth Alice Piersol Lula Prettyman Rose Ranson Louise Reed Frances Sconce Eleanor Sherrell largaret Shively ] Iiriam Sipfle Marie Towle Margaret Towle Phyllis Wilkinson Joy Webb Mabel Weiss Zay Wright m 19 nwin 18 THE DRAMATIC CLUB Until 1915 the College Societies gave the plays at the Woman ' s College. In that year Miss M. Louise Gleckler, head of the Expression Department in ' 14- ' 15 and ' 16 interested the girls in a separate organization for dramatic work and the Di-amatic Clul ) was formed. Membership in the Clnli has always been determined by two try-outs, the first a reading worked up without assistance, the second an interpretation of a part in a scene of a play. In the second try-out only a very short time is al- lowed in which to read over the lines and arrange for costumes. These try-outs are given before a judging committee of twenty, ten of which are faculty mem- bers and the remainder upper classmen of the Club. The membership of the Clulj is limited to a total of thirty. Five places may ])e filled l)y Academy girls. The first try-outs were on January 8th, 1915. Once a year since that date the candidates for vacancies in the Club have, with more or less fear and trembling, braved the stern array of judges. Under the splendid and sympathetic coaching of Miss Gleckler the Cluli put on four plays. February 22nd, 1915 was given. Charles Nirdlinger ' s ' ' Tlie 81 19 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiM I L L I W 0 C 0 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinniD 18 First Lady of the Land. In it Corinne Hughes as Dolly Madison and Feril Hess as Aaron Burr played the leading roles. The second play, Alfred Noyes ' Sherwood was given May 29th, 1915. The principal parts. Maid Marian and Robin Hood, were taken by Irene Crum and Alma Harniel. In Barrie ' s Quality Street Corinne Hughes as Phoebe Throssel cap- tured quite the heart of the imposing captain Valentine Brown, Alma Harmel, and the hearts of the audience as well. In Shakespear-e ' s .Much Ado Al)out Nothing given May 8th, 1916, the sparkling, witty comliatants were played by Phyllis Wilkinson, and Lavina Jones. In this the third year of the work of the Club, it has, under the guidance of Miss Margaret Constance, given one play. In December, 1916, Dickens ' Christmas Play, Cricket on the Hearth was presented with Marceline Arm- sti ' ong as Dot, and Eleanor Sherrell as John. The Club meetings and the woi-k of putting on the plays have been a pleas- ure and have given an insight into dramatic art. That two hundred dollars was pledged for the Endowment Fund for the Woman ' s College in the Autumn of 1915, the last portion of which pledge will be paid this spring, is something of a proof that play-giving is not without its material side. 82 83 19 18 Horner Wilson Keiisil Eddy Davis Davis Terlnine Andrews Wall Westphal Hubbs Wiswell ' Pinkston Fletcher Deitriek Hodgens Woodson Madden Snively Houck Falkenstein Price Harmon Cox Du Bois MADRIGAL This is a large choral organization of the College, composed of selected voices from the vocal department.

This year, in addition to the regular concert which it alM ' ays gives in the Spring, w ' th the assistance of the orchestra, the Clul) gave a concert of interesting old Christmas carols of different nationalities. 84 19 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii I MM [ L L [ W 0 C 0 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiioniMi 18 Spindler Norris Barton Janes Leonard Wall Hubbs Wiswell tShively Kirkpatiiek Bunting DuBois Harker Jameson Horner MeCord Hodgins Deitriek Scrimger Davis Cox Davis Falkenstein Hartman Westphal Kennedy Baker COLLEGE GLEE The College Glee consists of about thirty giiis who are chosen for their good voices, attractive personalities and abundance of college spirit. Every Glee girl must be interested in all the college activities. The try-outs are held in Mrs. Hartman ' s studio before a committee selected by the Glee President, consisting of the officers of the Club and several faculty members. The Club meets once a week for an hour in Mrs. Hartman ' s studio for rehearsals. The purpose of the club is to keep and promote college spirit. They sing whenever they are called upon, especially at college sings, basket ball games, essay contests, and at special services in chapel. Their songs rep- resent and portray every phase of college life. 85 K9 iii iiii i ii ii iii i iii i iii ii iii i ii iii ii il I L L I W 0 C 0 iiHiiiiii M 18 COLLEGE OF MUSIC. Out ' of the very youngest college organizations is the College Orchestra, which was organized ' in the fall of 1914. From the very small beginning at that time, the orchestra has grown and developed into an organization of gen- viine merit and worth. The first rehearsals were rather discouraging but as the work continued, the outlook grew brighter. The orchestra made its debut in a concert program of considerable size and real musical value. The second appearance of the orchestra was in an accompaniment with the Madrigal Club at its concert last spring, at which time the orchestra was heard in solos and in the orchestral part of Grieg ' s At the Cloister Gate. The orchestra now numbers about thirty pieces. There are seven first violins, six second violins, one Viola, two Celli, one double bass. Flute, Oboe, two Clarinets, Saxaphone playing Bassoon parts, Tenor Saxaphone playing baritone parts. Cornet, Trombone, Piano and Organ. Since organized, the orchestra has been under the direction of Mr. Stearns and in his work he has had the cooperation of Mrs. R. M. Day, teacher of the violin depai ' tment and Mr. Carl F. L. Jessen, teacher of piano and Ensemble. The orchestra will be heard in a program of much larger pro- portions this year and will present as soloist Mr. Carl F. L. Jessen in a con- certo for piano and orchestra. It is the earnest desire for those jnore closely interested in the future of the orchestra, that this may grow in truth to be a College organization, not that we wish to lose our friends from town who have so capably assisted us, but we would like to supplement their work with wor-k of students from the college. At present, the Viola, Cello, Double Bass, Flute, Clarinet, Oboe and Trombone are played by persons from without the college family. The college otfers excellent instruction in all of these instruments and it is hoped that the desire to learn to play such instruments will grow among the students until this wish of an all student orchestra plus our friends from town can be realized. 86 9 p iii ii ii iii ii ii iii ii ii ii iii il I L L I W 0 C 0 iiiiii I iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ■ 18 A DAY IN THE ART STUDIO Have you ever journeyed up the many stairs to the top floor of Music Hall and been I ' ewarded by a glimpse into the attractive studio there? If not you had better do it for it will repay you. The studio is really quite a wonderful room, long and wide with fine North sky lights, and there are so many, many interesting things to see. There are vases and jars of colors galore, old metal pans and pots and kettles, and some one ' s grandmothe r ' s spinning wheel. There are also interesting draperies, casts from the masterpieces of Greek sculp- ture, and modern sculpture, too. Then too there are pictures on the walls, landscapes that our instructor paints in summer in New England. And then you see girls in gay colored painting smocks, drawing from casts with many heaving sighs and much broken charcoal; some doing high keyed still life studies in water colors, or starting out to paint in oils and succeeding in painting everything in sight — floor, cliaii ' S and apr ' ons — for the woe of others. Or you may find the instructor busy ari ' aiiging a new still-life study in a color scheme of blue and yellow or one of shades of red and orange or a grey and white one, and girls emerging from the supply room carrying boards which drip as they go, from the thorough soak- ing that belongs to watei- color painting — and Oh — the digging that goes on! Who says that to study art needs only facility of the fingers? Tt takes hard vork and brains, any art student can tell you that. While you are listening to a criticism, you will hear a voice from behind the screen asking for help in putting a design on china or how much dye to use on the leather bag or something about craft work. That corner is a busy place and there are no idlers in it, though Ave do have a mighty good time, getting a real joy out of what we are doing. Oil Friday there is the afternoon sketch class. The model stand is pulled out, a screen arranged with some attractive back ground and some poor victim among our friends poses for two hours, and what fun it is ! Even if we cannot get the likeness, yet we w ork to get the idea of the pose, the action and the whole aspect. All scramble for the best position, pushing trains of chairs across the floor to save the time and trouble it takes to carry them. Then with every one hard at work you can look over somebody ' s shoulder to see what is being done, and listen to the criticisms. Mary, loosen up your lines; Jane, get better drawing , and all the time It probably looks good to you. Mary, do hurry if you ever expect to paint the pose to-day; and so it goes. After two hours, endlessly long foi- the poor model, mighty short for those of us who work, sketch class ends for the week. All of the sketches are put up and criticised, (Design T knows all about that) and we sigh or smile and vow to do a masterpiece the following Friday. Then we all leave this happy work- shop, carrying with us mental pictures of half finished charcoal casts and vari- ous brilliant water colors or luminous oil studies. But most of all you will think of the happy and congenial spirit of the girls as they have been working hard to reach their highest aspirations, some day really to be artists. 88 19 III! mill nn I L L I W 0 C 0 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiium w 18 Ist Rtiv. — Forler, Leonard, MeGhee, Carpenter, Kennedy, Hillerby, McKniglit, Eeed. 2nd Row — Neff, Davis, Barton, Houek, Deitriek, Thompson, Baxter, Eddy, Bunting. 3rd Row — Patrick, Bunting, Bridgford, Merritt, Coon, Webster, Jamison, McMurpliy.

Becoming interested in the different phases, we are better able to aid our communities wherever we may be. 90 19 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiH I I f I L L I W 0 C 0 iiniw 18 INDIANA CLUB Dedicated to James Whitcomb Riley ' ' Our Hoosier Poet 1st Line — Parrott, Weiss, Ziegler, Pawling, Moellering, Moore, Hull, Gerrick, McKniglit. 2nd Line — Motsenbocher, Clarke, Johnston, Houk, Herrmann, Conway, Throckmorton, Parkinson, Pursell. 3rd Line — Hull, Louise Davis, Merschon, Holder, Hodgens, Eusk, McCloud, Baker, Fellows. 91 THE GERMAN CLUB The German Club was organized in February 1902, and has held meetings eve7 y year since that time, at half past four on Monday afternoons. The original purpose in the organization of the German Clul) was that there might be an opportunity to gain a more general knowledge than was possible ill the limits of class-room requirements. A few representative subjects suggest the varied interests of the Club fi ' om year to year, such as : travel, European life, early Teutonic myths, customs and literature including the Norse sagas and the early history of Iceland, the relation of German poetry to German music, the charm of Italy and its place in German literature, a review now and then of some modern German novel or dranra and brief sketches of important figures in the contemporary history of Europe. Interspersed with these has been a reception or an informal party, a picnic or a short German play, and in every way the German Club has proved to be very interesting and altogethei ' pleasant.

The town gii ' Is ' club has been organized for several years and now has about fifty members. The organization i-ooiii is on. the first fioor of the main building- near the cookerei. This room is restful and sunny, and makes a cozy, quiet place to study. Each year new conveniences are added and now it is well furnished with comfortable chairs, tables and book shelves. Even little toilet necessities have not been forgotten. Every girl appreciates a place to straighten her locks after an eai ' ly morning walk in the wind, and some place to dress when the invitations to dinner are received. Noon finds the room filled with a jolly crowd. Two girls are housekeepers each week and the room is always open to visitors. Few of the house girls know what a cheerful room we have, and we should be very glad to greet them tliere. 93 19 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniM (LL(W0C0 iiiiiiiii mm iniiiiflHIi 18 Winners of Honors 1915-16 Junior-Sophomore Essay Contest — First, Pauline Herrmann ' 17.

Mr. Moore receives a vast amount of correspond- ence but it consists mainly of yellow slips.

AV. C. Who dares stand up and proclaim that women are not wielding great power in the affairs of men? Have you heard about the great election of Hughes at the Woman ' s College? There is a tide in the affairs of men which taken at its flood leads on to victory. We felt it was just about time to take the tide, and consequently the sixth and seventh of November were days of action at the Woman ' s College. Even in a political campaign people will not work togeth- er; it seemed inevitable that there should be opposing factions ,and the way people talked and showed their feelings ! Why ! even decorated themselves with badges and banners and paraded up and down in the main loliby of T. W. C. On the evening of the sixth the table d ' hote certainly had spice and pickles running all the way through it. Later the candidates themselves and a few of their trusty followers felt our opinions to be so worth while that they came and pleaded in turn with us to vote for them. And they brought their dear old quadrupeds with them in their special cars. How we did enjoy them, es- pecially the elephant ! On the morning of the seventh, two born leaders from our midst, Helen DeWitt and Mary Harrison, delivered convincing summaries of their plat- forms. If you have any doubt as to whether women are conscious of the re- sponsibility of casting a vote, you should have seen the intelligeiit and deter- mined way in which we marked the little squares. lOS 1Q6 19 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii (lLIWOCO fiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 13 MATANZAS (At the station, ready to go).

It is all according to your point of view. The suite of rooms comprising it is away up three flights of staii ' s farthest from the tumult of the Inisy household. All day the sun sends little beams through the Avindows to cheer up the sick-a- bed people. ! The Lady-in- White, who believes strenuously in fresh air, reigns supreme in this little kingdom. Her chief occupation is presenting various people with delightful looking little pink powders and innocent little white round things which might be pearls, or again — might be something less desirable. In the last named case, for the sake of variety, she sometimes goes in for colors — pre- senting us with mingled grays and browns, and other startling combinations. The light occupation of this lady however, is giving individual lectures on wear- ing rubbers, buttoning up close around the neck, and not exerting oneself too much. Yes, she is a busy Lady. Isn ' t she always putting up signs No visit- ors admitted, H. M., or, Please Don ' t disturb, H. M. The Lady-in-White, who believes streiuiously in fresh air, is very kind to sick-a-bed people suffering from appendicitis, feasts, tonsilitis and other student ailments. She gives them bits of toast and sips of broth well spiced with de- lightful stories told in her own inimitable way. Yet in spite of this, in spite oi flowers and the most comfy of notes from friends it isn ' t half so much fun to spend one ' s days in this little kingdom as one would think. That is the opinion of most people. Again, however, it is all according to your point of view. 109 Oni faculty at odd moments. 110 THE SOCIAL ROOM The niglit of February 22nd, 1916, is a memorable one in the history of Illinois Woman ' s College, for it was on that date that Dr. Harker made the an- nouncement that has brought lasting happiness to the girls of I .W .C. At the evening chapel Dr. Harker gave us one of the best of his many surprises for us. He announced that we were to have a social room! A room where we might gather in the evenings, and play, and sing, where we might have parties or teas, a room all our own — and best of all — it would have a fire place. The surprise was the culmination of a conference that had been held on Founders Day, and in which the needs and welfare of the college were dis- cussed. A plea for a room where the gii-ls might spend their leisure time was made and ways and means were considei ' ed. It was finally decided that the lower half of the Old Chapel could be converted into such a room. A few days after the announcement, the work began. The chairs were removed from the lower half of the room, and in their place a number of folding chairs were used. In the East wall an immense fire place was constructed. The room was furnished, and many lovely gifts fi ' om the different societies and classes added much to its attractiveness. During the music teachers ' convention in May the room was formally opened. Every one was delighted with its beauty and attractiveness, and im- mediately it became the most popular place in the College, It has not lost but gained in popularity ever since, and now almost any time in the day or evening you may find groups of girls gathered around the piano, around the fire place, or playing games. Here too we have our parties, and here we gather on Thurs- day and Saturday evenings for a stunt or a college sing. Every girl thrills with appreciation when she realizes that the room belongs to her, that it is for her, and she feels her inability to adeqi ately thank Dr. Harker and those who made this room not a x)0ssil)ility — but a I ' eality. m OUR LIBRARY A really worth while library dates only back to 1911. Up to this time, while we had a small collection of books, no effort had been made to catalogue and arrange them so that their material would be easily accessible to the stu- dents. Other departments had been growing by leaps and bounds, and the realization suddenly came to us that our Library was being left behind. The campaign for a greater library during the spring of 1911 will long be remembered. The result of our efforts then was a total amount in books and money of $1,246.00. This movement proved to be the forenmner of greater activity to increase library facilities. Through the generosity of Messrs. Gates and David Strawn we added this year over 1,000 volumes from the valuable private library of Judge Thomas bent of Chicago. Our quarters, however, proved entirely inadequate to house this collection, and again a friend responded to our need, this time with the gift of our new stack room, which will accommodate 20,000 volumes. For this also we are indebted to Dr. David Strawn. We are gi ' ateful to the friends who have made this better equipment possi- ble, and trust that the future may raise up others that this most important de- partment of our College may never again be allowed to languisti. 112 Characteristic Poses. 113 114 19 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ILLIWOCO I iiiiiMiiiii!ii:iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii |g MAY DAY Fleanok Shekkill. May Day Chairman, ml May Day at T. W. C. is one of the pi ' cttiest events of the -whole year, nor is it foi ' iis a single incident of the College year. It fur- nishes excitement for the whole nine months, with such features as the election of the May Day Committee Chairman, the choosing on candidates for queen, and finally tlie choice of the queen by lot from the list of candi- dates. Sometimes the lots are drawn l fore May Day, so that the queen has Lime to cul- tivate all the dignity of her office. Then again, she is not chosen until the fete is actually in progress. This is more exciting not only to the candidates l)ut to the specta- tors as well. And then ! the supreme moment when the foi ' tuiiate maiden steps forth to don the cloak and crown of sovereignty — with all the dignity attendant upon a real coronation. The (jueen, now ci ' owued, is escorted hy her party to the throne where she watches the fete, given especially at hei ' royal pleasure. The festival is always beautiful, but preparation for it is not Being lifted to the skies on flowery beds of ease . Practice is hard woi ' k, not ouly from the standpoint of actual exercise, but of getting the girls together, as m vW. Early I ' ehearsals are not bad, but, later when the wcathei- is unconifoi-tably wai-iii, ami the novelty of our parts has worn off, it re(iuires a big bump of optimism to kee]) us cheerful. Making costumes is a joy unpi ' ecedented, for we always lose our instructions, and then depend on all too unstalile memoi ' y. Dress rehearsal always singles out some unfortunates who must rip where they have sewed, then too there is always a possibility that the slippers wont come, oi ' that we will be left with some seven sizes too large, so that the toes will curl up be- witchingly. But at last the day dawns clear and lovely — sometimes. Afternoon ar- I ' ives and with it the people. The music begins and the fete is in full swing, with never a hint of the weary days of preparation. We soon forget the hours of tiresome practice, when we said that positively we would not go through that drudgery again for the prettiest May-day that ever was — and next year finds us eager for even a scrap of a part. 115 I. W. C. in XJienicing mood. 116 19 18 SERENADES Serenade in its broadest sense means any music played in tlie open air at night, and few people ever realize that there are about fifty-seven varieties of the serenade. Now the German ' ' Staendchen is a little song sung standing. In French L ' aubade is a song sung at bi ' eak of day, Avhile in Eoman days the serenade was impossible until after the moon was up. There is of course the Schubert variety which is considered ver ' y good form in the best cii ' cles. There is the serenade a I ' ltalien which always culminates in a shower of cold water. However the serenade in one of its highest forms is executed by the young gallants of our neighboring college. Serenades are popular in the peppy ovei ' -the-line-for-a-touch-down at- mosphere of early fall. Then again with the bursting buds of April the languid youths burst forth into musical expression. Though the theme perhaps changes with the seasons, the enthusiasms and romances are constant. All serenades of this high order are conducted in much the same way. A 1: and of gallants, from I know not where, will lose themselves in some deep, shadowy corner, or at times audaciously station themselves beneath one of the Japanese moons of the campus, and strike up some soul thrilling harmony. This harmony is produced by the thrillings and gurglings of their rich young voices accompanied by impossible musical instruments of Hawaiian or Amer- ican make. For a serenade to 1)0 an absolute success, there must be two parties, and the recipient plays no small pai ' t, though the importance of the role varies with tlie individual and the conditions. Ti ' adition says that the efforts of the Illinois College youths used to recognize with a greater degree of outward enthusiasm. Those were the days when a withei-ed flower or a dried biscuit thrown at the feet of the player was considered a token of sincere appreciation. Things have changed since then. An appreciative golden silence is now observed. The lowered shades and darkened windows add a delicious note of dramatic un- certainty to this romantic production. Withal, these serenades which we enjoy fj ' om time to time increase the spice and variety of college life. Carlyle lias said ' ' Music is well said to be the speech of angels. ' ' 1 don ' t know. 117 19 18 THE HALLOWEEN PARTY AT I. W. C. Once every year along about the time that ghosts knock at our doors, and spirits fly through the air, a grand assemblage of guests meets in the lower floor of Music Hall. Who are these ghosts? Why do they wander about in such a strange, mysterious way? Stay and see their queer faces and fanciful costumes. See that happy colored couple dancing a jig. And that tall hand- some young man! He looks lonely. Here comes Charlie Chaplin! Do you suppose the lady l)eside him is his wife? Over in the corner is an unsophisti- cated young Freshman in his green cap. Poor young child so lately parted from sheltering arms! That blissful young couple by the palms, so uncon- scious of any one ' s existence except theii ' own, must be lately wed. So the guests sauiitei- by, nationality mixed with nationality; the lines removed be- tween stations in life. An Indian talks with a ghost, an Egyptian chats with a Chinaman; perhaps a Japanese converses gayly with Little Eed Eiding Hood as if he were quite familiar with the lieroine of our fairy tale. Little fairies flit around, ghosts come and go. The effect of this gayly and variously dressed crowd moving back and foi ' th in the yellow glow of the lights is most pictur- esque. Finally masks are removed and these ([ueer folks prove to be just T. W. C. girls playing make-believe at a mas(iuerade party. Then follow various amusements. Fortunes are told ,apples are bolibed for, and pop-corn, apples and cider are served. Altogether the evening is a very delightful one, due to the irrepressible College Specials. 118 19 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiw ( L L I W 0 C 0 iiiiffliiiiiTiMMiiiiinniiiiM 18 Georges and Marthas. 119 120 19 I L L I W 0 C 0 18 THE ETERNAL MASCULINE ' M.

Sleep is the only occupation we can perform in this world without learn- ing how. Evei ' v body has known how to sleep. It is nothing upon which we might improve and we don ' t have to look for a correspondence school on the subject. It is a habit we can ' t break. If we do we fall into a worse one, that of dying. The average person sleeps eight hours out of the twenty-four. One third of one ' s life in obscurity — a perfect blank! Sleep has dreams, pleasant and unpleasant. Unpleasant dreams have a bad moral effect; we often read how many a man has gone to bed sincerely happy only to wake the next morning and find himself famous. The power of dispensing sleep is given to many of oui ' politicians, preachers and novelists, some taking more than t!ieir share. Among men noted as great sleepers are Mi ' . Rip Van Winkle, M. : lorpheus, and the greatest sleeper o ' f all, j rr. Pullman. Sleep is the only vocation in which one can excel without consciously using one ' s brain. Some people never wake up enough to let you know they are sleeping. They should wind themselves up instead of their alarm clocks. ' Babies sleep most. In fact they sleep all the time except when they are crying. That is the chief requirement society demands of them. Some grown up people think this requirement is handed on to them. However the best authorities censure it. Sleeping beauty tendencies do not fit in with the twen- tienth century. What (lid it soniiil like. Miss AFotherf-head ? ' : riss M. thniiiler.
