The 193S McKendrean has been realized only rough a spirit of mutual endeavor extending beyond the efforts of the staff and including students, faculty. and Mr. F. A. Behymer in particular. For those who will leave college life behind them, may this edition prove a pleasant reminder of the days spent ii the Mill: for those who will return, may our serve as inspiration for future achievement. CONTENTS . , The Collsg; Classes Activities Features Page Five OUR CAMPUS . . . Standing on one of the highest points of the Lebanon hill is old McKendree College, its ml brick buildings surrounded by trees, some of which were fully grown when the college was established here one hundred seven years ago. To him who is impressed with the majesty of trees and with the splendor that falls on old buildings, there is nothing more impressive than McKendree ' s eighty-year-old Chapel Hanked by two giant white oaks that looked on when the building was con- structed and which now reach out with their forty-foot branches as if trying to shield the sacred roof. From these branches the squirrels drop upon that roof which serves them as a playground and as a bridge in their journeys from one tree ;. ' another. At the door of Science Hall stands another giant oak. on guard, its three-foot trunk towering far above that three-story building. ' There are eight of these venerable white oaks on the campus, not one of t hem less than two centuries old. These, with several of their offspring, many of which arc already more than a hundred years old, give a majestic air to this wooded hill such as no other trees could provide. Fifty-one species of trees, young and old, are flourishing on our campus, and every year is adding to this number as well as to the number of native shrubs and perennial plants. The Hill will he an arboretum of note some day if the sons and daughters of McKendree do not forget her. McKendree has been taken out of the mud by walks constructed where paths run. A rock garden and three perennial flower beds adorn the one-time ipe north of Clark 1 till. The parking lot has been taken from the front cam- pus, and now. where dust and noise formerly mingled with the music from the Chapel studios, harmony reigns supreme. The old parking space will be reduced afford only enough room for visitors ' cars, while the ugly view from the front windows of Clark Hill will be changed to one of beauty. Trei j set in a cordance with a plan on the back campus, and Lake iful will some da) deserve the name. Daffodils and wild flowers have been on the north shore of the lake, and the dam. once unsightly with weeds, ■ I being overed with the almost-evergreen vines of the money- i nior memorials, memorial seats, and bird baths given by local clubs have the int n 51 and convenience of the campus. Best of all. there is a grow- i worth and beautv of ii all. here has a more unique or more beautiful campus than lc- i pj ireciate and cherish it. DR. 1 ' .. R. SPENCER. THE COLLEGE . . .

Hypes Field, one of the fin- est athletic fields in the Little Nineteen Conference, was built through the generosity of Dr. Benjamin F. Hypes of St. Louis. Concrete bleachers line the western side and a splendid cinder track encircles the football held. The Chapel, with its tall clock-tower spire is a famous landmark. This building hous- es the music studios, a liter- ary society hall, and the audi- torium.

A badge of distinction, varied achievement is conferred upon deserving Pi Kappa Delta, which is represented lure on our campus by the Illinois Theta chapter, ; s the largest nati nil forensic fraternity in the country, having an active chapter roll of one hundred thirty-eight chapters in thirty-four slates. The stimulation of, progress in, and the promotion of the interests of intercollegiate oratory, debate and public speaking by encouraging a spirit of intercollegiate fel- lowship are the chief aims of thi and graduated according to merit and achi candidates. A National Council, elected b) dele- ■ the local chapters at biennial national conventions, governs the organiza tion. Each chapter is required to be repre sented in at least every other national tion.

This chapter, established on the campus in 1926, is one of eight similar organizations belonging to the national honorary science fraternity. In April of this year a National Conclave of Sigma Zeta, held in conjunction with the Alpha Chapter at Shurtleff. was the out- standing event. Sessions were held both at Al- ton and Lebanon. In addition to this, Sigma Zeta sponsored a Freshman Essay Contest on scientific subjects, giving as prizes a silver cup and a book. Several evening meetings were held to which non-members were invited. Through these meetings Sigma Zeta has made a definite contribution to campus life by bring- ing in valuable speakers as well as by the showing of interesting films.

At McKendree, the Alpha Theta Cast, established in 1927, gives recognition to all those who have shown outstanding ability in dramatic productions. Eligibility is based mi the point system. Since the success of a play often de- pends largeh i n its management, proper advertising and other like features, eli- gibility credit is also given the business manager as well as the actual participant in the play.

Philo may well be proud of such a record and also of the Philos who have successfully gone out into the various professions. Though old in years the Philosophian society is an organization with dis- tinctly new ideas. Not content to rest solely on the achievement of past years it has continued to improve. To encourage literary achievement and debate still remains the purpose of the organization, but the members realize that only by living in the present and looking to the future can this aim be carried out. The society meets in open session once each month and all those who are interested are invited. This was triennial year and the banquet was an important event. Page Thirty-nine PLATONIAN LITERARY SOCIETY B r, Suhrhdnrich, n H. Hrrtcnstcin, Barn I. P. Sampson. Whitlo The burning of a note which marked the payment of an old debt of the so- ciety and the development of a championship Intramural League basketball team are two of the year ' s outstanding features of which the Platonian Literary Societ) is justly proud. Established in 1S4 1 ' . Plato has long been recognized for its literary merit, and fur the opportunit) it affords young men for training in debate, extempo- raneous speaking and the related fields. This year, however, with its success in athletics, Plato feels that a definite step forward has been taken. By the foster- ing of athletics, the societ) believes that it does not weaken but rather strengthens the original purpose of the founders and thai the development of the whole man is sary for outstanding success in any endeavor. foyful over success in a new field, the Platonians celebrated their victory with a dinner at the Bertram Hotel in Lebanon. Later, a banquet, followed by a theatre party, was held at the College Inn of Moid Belleville.

Wolft Front r, 711 — E. Schmedake, Handel, F Clements, McCla A few months after the admission of women to McKendree the Clionian Lit- erary Society was founded in December of 1869. Of the twenty women listed in the college catalogue at that time, fifteen were charier members of the new society. To-day it still remains the only woman ' s organization of its kind upon the campus. Since its organization, Clio has been carried on enthusiastically. Many a girl, who has later become a leader, received her training through participation in Clio programs. Meetings are held every week and interesting programs consisting of declamations, essays, assigned addresses, impromptus, and current events are de- livered. Once a month an open session is conducted. The truth of the saying of the society, once a Clionian, always a Clionian was demonstrated at the reunion held in the society hall during the forenoon of the last Homecoming da} 1 . This meeting was well attended and actives listened eagerly as old grads related their experiences while members of Clio. The Clionian banquet and the exhibition program at the close of the school year are annual events. Payc Forty-one tflll J(c KJm$i£ Mh ALPHA MU OMEGA - It. Larsh. Dorku, Daniel Zirges. Brownine.

That it has been successful can readily be seen in the fact that the organ- ization has grown and carried on until today it has an active membership of twen- ty-three. Dr. E. W.

Krizek ' s name will be engraved on the cup as well as being placed on the fraternity honor roll. A wiener roast in the fall and a Christ- mas party at the Locust Hill Country Club were enjoyed by the members and guests while a dinner at the College Inn of Hotel Belleville, a strawberry festival and the an- nual banquet at the Hotel Statler in St. Louis on May 25, were the features of the spring social program.

Through it the group of ministerial students on the campus are brought together into a closer fellowship. At the regular monthly meetings subjects relative to their profession are discussed bv the members. The problems which confront the young minister are given special attention. In this way Sigma Beta Rho renders a definite service to her members and enables them to more effectively carry out her motto. Dr. Walton has been sponsor of the group since its organization in 1931 and Rev. Todd has been an active member since its inception. Honorary members are Dr. Cam- eron Harmon and Rev. W. E. Bennett.

The purpose of the organization as set forth by the nine charter members, two of whom are now in school, is to promote scholarship, friendship and social activities among its members. One of the most important forward steps taken this year was the formation of an Alumni Association whose aim is to continue the purpose of the sorority after leaving school. The fall activities included a tea at the home of Mrs. Cameron Harmon, a party at the h h Habig ' 34, in St. Louis, a wiener roast and a home- coming reunion dinner.

The Women ' s Glee Club, under the interested and active direction of Miss Pauline Harper, not only brings music to the college, but also provides an extra-curricular activity which does much toward the development of a well- rounded individual. The Marriage of Nannette, an opera by Curtis, produced on March 13 by the Women ' s and Men ' s Glee Clubs working together, was received with enthusiasm. It was the first pro- duction of its kind since the opera Martha two years ago. Every year the club makes an annual con- cert trip, during which time programs are pre- sented before various church audiences and high school groups.

French customs, songs, current literature and folk dances, as well as a closer acquaintance with spoken French language, are the things of primary interest to the club members. Consequently, special stress is given to these points in the program arrange- ment. In order that there may be greater variety in the programs each French class is given its own song and folk dance which is later presented at a regular club meeting.

Campus Week, a new thing on the Hill, answers conclusively the question, Why have a Nature Club on McKendree ' s campus ? This week of campus consciousness, sponsored by the Nature Club, was really an intensification of the program the group has been working on all year. During this time the student body was made to appreciate more fully the natural beauty of our campus. Many improvements, such as the planting of trees and shrubs and the building of rock walks, have been accomplished through the Nature Club. Further ways of improvement have also been pointed out. In connection with the week ' s activity outside speakers brought interesting talks and a Nature Exhibit was held in the basement of the library. A special study of the trees on the campus was made by the club this year as one of the means of acquainting its members with nature. Also, through the efforts of the Nature Club, Mr. Fain King, noted archeologist, was brought to the campus and delivered several interesting lectures. Fast fall, club members enjoyed a camp- ing trip at Fountain Bluff in Southern Illinois. There are also regular bird hikes. On one of the field expeditions a maple tree was tapped and an explanation of the sugar making process was given. OFFICERS ' resident — Mary T.

With the change from a short daily chapel to an hour period on Tuesdays and Thursdays the Student Association now holds its regular meeting and program on the last Thursday of each month. Upon enrollment every student automatically becomes a member of the Association and is free to take part in its meetings and discussions. The programs this year have been very carefully worked out by a committee whose aim was to make this hour worthwhile. Besides participation in the regular chapel programs the Student Association is active in supporting the various athletic teams and in fostering school loyalty. Much of the success of the Homecoming celebration was due to the efforts of the Student Association, working in cooperation with the faculty homecoming committee.

That students arc reall) vitall) concerned with the social problems ami economic trends of today was clearly shown l the keen interest in debate this year. The forensic season, which officially closed with the Missouri Province Convention, has been an unusually successful one on the hill. Largely because of the interest and careful coaching of Mr. Marl Wiley 1 layter. McKendree has been represented b debate teams of which she may he justly proud. The men ' s Pi Kappa Delta question fur this year was: Resolved: Thai the nations should agree to prevent the international shipment of arms and muni- tions. - ere also prepared on the Socialized Medicine, the Democratic Collectivism and the Collective Bargaining questions. A glance over the record fur the season shows a total of seven favorable decisions as against three losses. McKendree lost decisions to Blackburn, Cape Girardeau and Asbury Colleges but emerged victorious from a single encounter with Shurtleff College and the dual debates with Southern Illinois State Normal University, St. Louis University and Blackburn College. Non-decision debates were held with Greenville, Carthage and the Principia Colleges. Those who made up the debate squad this year were: Paul .Meadows. Harold T. Whitlock and Arthur V.

Klamp was the largest man on the squad, tipping the scales at 265. He starred in the Wesleyan game when he displayed his ability at checking hard-driving interfer- ence. Next year he should work off 20 pounds and really man-handle them. OSWALD BERENDT, Granite City. Freshman, End. Berendt was Coach Waldorf ' s answer for a punter. The Washington game saw Dutch give the ball a ride of 80 yards in the rain. He had the size, scrap and knowl- edge of the position such as a good end should have. CLIFFORD HERTENSTEIN, New Baden. Senior, Center. Cliff has been out for football for four years. He ends his career on the gridiron by graduation. c BASKET BALL SQUAD . Suhrlieinrich, Krizek, Harms, .1. Be list, Mai oit, Wilson, N ' orris. BASKETBALL Coach Hartley ' s men, winning four conference games out of nine starts and collecting thirteen decisions out of twenty-three tilts, proved to be one of the best hardwood lives for old McK. in several seasons. They showed what a flashy, sharp-shooting quintet could do as they won their lasl - ' . ! fine style. Tin- addition of Bise, Welborn and Ionian, all over 6 feet two inches, gave the Bear deal of additional strength over last season. With the return of all the present material a great team should develop for the I year since onl) three of the fifteen letter men will lie lost by graduation.

' ...,, Sixty eiuhl cJ Lrnhmj ikikb ' jhe LETTERMEN KENNETH SCOTT, Marissa. Senior, Captain and Guard. Scotty broke into the scoring column more than usual this season, still playing his good guard- ing game. This is his fourth year and, although rather small, he was a fine, dependable defensive CLEVE STROH, Ait. Carmel. Senior, Forward. Although Izzy had a little tough luck hitting the basket early in the season, he regained his eye and was among the high scorers during the last on, starring in the game at Charles- ting a total of 175 points for the season.

Spike was as tricky on the hard-wood as he was on the gndiroi and developed an accurate eye for long shots, scor ing eight points in the last six minutes of play al Charleston. He was second high scorer for tin Purple, netting 206 points, 80 being in conferenct play, ranking him among the high scorers in tin Utile Nineteen. CLAIR NORRIS, Pontiac. Sophomore, Forward. letter on the Purple team. He should be quite an aid to the squad next year. ROY IAECKEL, New Athens. Freshman, Forward. .Taeckel enlisted on the squad at mid-year and showed possibilities of a good forward. RAYMOND HARMS, Bone Gap. Freshman, Forward . Harms played sort of off and on games at forward. He has plenty of size and with a little more experience should make an important cog in the Purple ' s machine. RAYMOND DANIELS, Pleasant Hill. The rly-haired guard f r Pie ant Hill pe formed well on both defense and offense. Willi his speed and skill he should develop into a very good guard. RICHARD SIHRHEINRICH, New Baden. Sophomore. Center. Dick was the star guard in intra-mural basket- ball last year, but was advanced to the varsity this season. He seemed never to tire and kept up a terrific pace all the time he was in the game. TOE CRAWFORD, Belknap. Freshman, Guard. Although handicapped in the early season by a bad knee, the Hutsonville Flash demonstrated his skill at ball-handling in the latter part of the season. Joe was a fast, tricky player as well as a great little passer and displayed spectacular shooting-ability at times. GEORGE WELBORN, Centralia. Freshman, Forward. Welborn made it plenty hot for several teams this year and was the Purple ' s main point-getter. He compiled a total of 227 points, 95 of which were in conference tilts, placing him in eighth position in the Little Nineteen. WAYNE BISE, Mound City. Freshman, Forward. When there was a scramble to get the ball off the back-board, Bise often came out with the sphere. His size gave the team greater strength in recovering rebounds, and he was good for at least five or six points per game. ALVIN IORDAN, Dupo. Freshman, Center. Jordan joined ranks at mid-year and immediately became the first string center, where he proved to be more than a match for several teams. He also shared honors in dishing out a brilliant defeat to E. I. T. C. GUSTAY KRIZEK, Belleville. Sophomore, Guard. Krizek was used by Coach Hartley to relieve 1,,, regular guards. Gus was a hard fighter and a good defensive man. lAMES BEERS, Carrier Mills. Freshman. Beers developed from a freshman of unknown ability into one of the best reserve guards on the squad. He was a levelheaded player and had quite an eye for the basket. Page Sixty-nine TRACK SQUAD Jw cJ(c KmtSv2Ufl rsl, Manwarii P - mpson, Walki r, Sai Daniels, Oxendine, C. Lowry, M.
