She was ever a zealous leader and worker in every line of her activity. I have a perfectly good place in Old Main that III leave to the persons that can prove to me that they really need a place to spend their leisure hours. — E.M. Caroline Schafer, A.B., Mascoutah, III. Clio; State Oratorical Contest ' 31; The Fool ; Review Staff ' 31. Caroline ' s ability in reading and oratory has made her a popular and interesting entertainer. A ready smile and lovable disposition ever characterized her presence. Just as all McKendree graduates, I feel that there is an indestructible cord holding me in thoughts and interests to the college. I value the friendships I have made and cherish the hope that these may last throughout my lifetime. — C. S. Violet Taylor, A.B., Lebanon, III. Societas Classica; Education Club. Unusually quiet, but nevertheless energetic, Violet has been a good student in Latin as well as in her minor studies. Her reserve has not been detrimental, for to those with whom she is associated, she is a real friend. The end is almost here — but ' All ' s well that ends well ' So here ' s to the future of dear old McKendree, her students, her graduates, and her faculty. —V. T. Page 26

Nelson Grote, A.B., Hoyleton, 111. Pres. Oxford Club ' 31; Central Wesleyan ' 28 - ' 30. In Grote we have a sincere student and student pastor.
