THE RAVELINCS, NINETEEN THIRTEE In behalf of the Class of 1913, we present this, the Twentieth Volume of the Ravelings, to the Faculty, Students, and the Alumni of Monmouth College. We have endeavored in this volume to give a review of the events of the school year, and hope you will find much that is pleasing and valuable. We have not always followed the strict rule laid down by custom; we have learned much from other College Annuals; we have some- times had an idea of our own. We have tried to produce something good, something that will preserve memories of friends and friend- ships. If you who read derive pleasure from the perusal, our endeavors will be well repaid. The judgment is yours. Sltr 1913 iSaurUiina S ' taff. ul HE RAVELINGS, NINETEEN THIRTEEN THE RAVELINGS, NINETEEN THIRTEE JJrnfrHsor nf BiialnrH.

As an institution of learning Monmouth College is truly great, for her influence extends throughout the world and everywhere may be found persons who are always interested and actively engaged in the further- ing of the Greater Monmouth College. At the time in which this institution was established, the Monmouth of 1912 was but a dream beyond expectation. It was an ideal of an enthusiastic nature, and in its development it has been assisted by similar ideals of other minds. While its growth has been slow, it has always been steady and encouraging. The endowment fund has been increased and placed on a firm basis. Following the fire of 1907 which destroyed our main building, the friends and supporters im- mediately came to our aid, and thus were secured Wallace and McMichael Halls, fitting memorials to two of our former pres- idents. At the present the great need is that of a Dormitory, and in the guarantee of the funds necessary for this new build- ing the authorities are striving to accomplish this result. In the future as in the past, Monmouth College will con- tinue to fulfill the mission for which she was established, to furnish the brand of education for which the world of today is demanding, — reverent, unselfish, self-sacrificing; its ideal, the Man of Galilee. ® HE RAVELINGS, NINETEEN THIRTEEN E ' ' ' ' - fill-- ' ' Campus in tlu- Spring.

Because of their seniority about the College, their words must be listened to with respect. Certainly the class has accomplished some notable things. They started early to make history. Within the first week of school, in defiance of the Sophomores, they held a social in the Gymnasium. They followed this up by winning their pole scrap. On the Twenty-second of February, through the proper use of diplomacy, they held their banquet in peace. During the Sophomore year of the class they kept up their old pace, the most notable event being the winning of the pole scrap once more. They are one of the few classes that have been able to do this. Their Junior-Senior Banquet and Senior Day Party were social events that set a new mark in this sphere of actioil. The class is remarkable on account of its size. Monmouth College will this year give diplomas to the largest class in the history of the institution. The School of Oratory will also graduate the first class in their department. The class of Nineteen-Twelve has been a notable class during their school days. After graduating each member con- fidently expects to do honor to the class and keep it the fore- most in the history of Monmouth College. THE RAVELINGS, NINETEEN THIRTEEM rittnra.

And the campus is deserted in the Summer. Have you ever seen the campus in the Fall, in the Fall ?

THE RAVELINGS, NINETEEN THIRTEE N 31um0rH. ® HE RAVELINGS, NINETEEN THIRTEEN HImiinr i islnn|. 3F the Class of 1913 is to be judged by the show and amount of disturbance it has aroused, then alas! But for- tunately in our college the old adage about still water still holds good. Things truly great can not be judged by outside happenings. Neither can the Class of 191-3. Throughout the three years of our existence as an integral part of this school, we have always occupied our places in a manner worthy of true children of Monmouth College. As Freshmen and Sophomores we aided in bringing about a re- adjustment of the diplomatic policies concerning the conditions of banqueting on the twenty-second of February. This ar- rangement has been used very satisfactory in the present year. In all the various college activities, in athletics, the Oracle, the stage, music, oratory, social life, and lastly in this book, we show forth our capabitities and our possibilities. They are many and varied; in the future alone do we trust for the ful- fillment of our talents. ®ltr auartints 3lnntnrfi. SCOTT McCLANAHAN, Kirwood, Illinois.

EMOCRACY, anarchy, oligarchy, tyranny, monarchy — such is the cycle of history. Ill When the class of 1914 sprang ' into being she represented the perfect democracy. DeWitt was elected president by direct vote of the people and stood forth val- iantly against the forces which threatened to oppress his constituency. Then Leo came to power, and anarchy formed the basis of government. Soon, however, the power was snatched from his hands by a higher body, the oligarchs (High Tribunal) and ex- citement ran high. Then came another power to view. An outside force with the Doctor as its exponent. By cruel heartless tyranny the class was subjected to all the oppression of the missing credit and other systems. For a while the people rested in peace but among a few rose a movement and with a certain man named Pierce at its heart a monarchy was established which threatened some nearby younger nations. After the space of a few months however that ruler was over-thrown and monarchy still continues under the leadership of the Gabby Man. This in short is the history of the class of 1914 to date. Thus far she has followed the ancient ruts of history. What form of government will next prevail is a very perplexing question. But it is to be hoped that the cycle will move one moi ' e notch that this people may stand as the ex- ponent of the perfect democracy. E PLURIBUS UNUM.

But we were a phenomenal bunch and not for long, were we young and unlearned. Our reputation was made in the pole scrap, never to be lost. We came, we saw, we conquered. It is for the defeated enemy, the Sophomores, to tell the details of that day so fatal to them, so successful for us, for our prestige has never been lost while they have never fully regained theirs as we had our Freshman banquet in peace. Although in mourning it was not with weep- ing and gnashing of teeth that we celebrated February 22, but rather with joy and gladness knowing that what had been lost to us, was restored hundred-fold in other ways. As to social functions, we cannot be excelled. They have varied from formal receptions to picnics, proving that we have been examples to the upper classmen in manners and social etiquette. But let us not pass over the representatives of our class who have taken prominent places in athletic sports. It is they who have made possible the high standard of excellence attained by our foot ball, basket ball and base ball teams. Nor must we forget the large number of Freshmen in the track team. Nor do we alone excell in physical prowess. We point with pride to our achievements in literary activities. And if you wonder that so youthful a class should have ac- complished so much, we can only say that it is because it is us. Nor will our famous history end with our Freshman year. Judging the future by the past, we will accomplish even greater things. But for the present we bid you farewell. — The Class of 191.5. THE RAVELINGS.

Many students, musically talented, have chosen to at- tend College at Monmouth because of its musical advantages. For several years now, Prof. T. Merrill Austin has been the efficient director of our Conservatory of Music. He has raised this department to the high place it now holds. He has accomplished this by securing the aid of a competent corps of teachers. Miss Emily L. Thomas has had charge of the piano depart- ment for several years and has proved herself not only an artist at the instrument but highly capable of instructing others, as the quality of graduates she sends out shows. This year we have a new instructor in the violin depart- ment. Miss Katherine Finley. She has had charge of the College Orchestra and is an artist on the violin. The conservatory is fortunate in securing her as an instructor. Miss Katherine Hanna has been connected with the con- servatory for many years and is popular as a piano teacher. Miss Nelle Porter and Mr. Royal D. Hughes assist Prof. Austin in his voice teaching. They both graduated some years ago under Prof. Austin ' s instruction and are competent to pre- pare students for advance work under him. Mr. Hughes also has charge of the Theory. Prof. Austin personally conducts classes in History and Interpretation besides teaching Organ and Voice. THE RAVELINGS, NINETEEN THIRTEE Artist ImtalB. I I USIC, in the past considered a luxury, is now regarded as a necessary part of a tHiI collegiate education. We believe that through the efforts of the director of  the Conservatory, T. Merrill Austin, few other colleges offer as fine musical attractions as does Monmouth. During the past year the Artist ' s Course has included varied forms of recitals in its six numbers. The first of these was the program offered in the joint recital by Herbert Miller, baritone, and William E. Zeuch, organist. Although a certain lack of focus and im- perfect enunciation somewhat marred the effect of Mr. Miller ' s work, still he possesses a voice of fine quality and unusual volume. Mr. Zeuch presented in a spirited manner a popular program which met with hearty approval. The second number was a piano recital by Heniot Levy, who presented a classical program embracing numbers from Mendelssohn, Chopin and Schumann, the last deserv- ing of special commendation. Mr. Levy ' s interpretation was rather intellectual than temperamental and his playing was marked by repose and beautiful tone color. The recital by Beatrice Hubbell Plummer, soprano, and Lulu Jones Downing, com- poser-pianist, although not listed with the Artist Course, fully met its standards. Mrs. Plummer has a delightful voice under rare control, used with finesse and true artistic feeling. The songs composed by Mrs. Downing were a revelation in their refined spirituelle setting and her sympathetic accompaniments added to the interest of the program. The third regular number was given by Mable Sharpe-Herdien, soprano and Bir- dice Byle, pianist. Mrs. Herdien possesses a voice of beautiful quality under the best of control. For many seasons Monmouth has not listened to a singer displaying such mastery of the vocal art. Mrs. Byle pleased the audience by rendering several well established favorites in a manner which, while not exhibiting especially deep artistic insight, was nevertheless clear and spirited. An interpretative piano recital on modern French music was given by George Frederick Ogden as an extra number on the course. This recital served to introduce some hitherto unknown works, but proved on the whole slightly monotonous in spite of Mr. Ogden ' s beautiful pianissimo touch. The Detroit String Quartet was only ensemble work of the year and the fitting climax to the year ' s recitals. It, doubtless, was on e of the most popular numbers on the course, proving a delightful treat to all music lovers. Elsa Ruegger is a cellist of world-wide reputation, and appeared at her best on this program. u HE RAVELINGS, NINETEEN THIRTEEN CEmiiiinnTalnry iFarulty. T. MERRILL AUSTIN, Director.

The Conservatory has become imbued with the twentieth century spirit of progress, and several of the faculty recitals showed evidence of recent advanced study. A recital early in the year by Miss Thomas, piano. Miss Pinley, violin, Mr. Hughes, baritone, Mr. Austin, accompanist, confirmed the high esteem in which Monmouth has held these members of its established corps, and won for the new violin teacher a place which she has proved herself more than capable of retaining.

The aim ifl is to aid students to interpret literature in such a way that it will help them in ■ every branch of college work; to prepare teachers for their work, and to de- velop intelligent natural speakers and readers. The success of this department during the two years of its existence is due largely to the ability and experience of the director and the hearty co-operation of the faculty. Special courses in college branches are also required for graduation from this department. The department is especially fortunate in having these courses given by men, not only strong in their regular lines but also keenly interested in the work of the Department of Oratory. The work of Argumentation and Debate, Oration and Essay, is in charge of Prof. M. M. Maynard. The English Literature is taught by Prof. L. E. Robinson, head of the Department of English. Instruction in Psychology is given by Prof. W. A. Cook, in Physiology and An- atomy by Prof. W. L. Porter and the Physical Training is directed by Miss Solflena Mathis.

The question debated was, Resolved: that a system of recall should be adopted in all departments of our state govern- ments, in all states where it does not now exist, and in all of- fices which are elective. Eccritean upheld the negative. The decision of the judges, which was for the affirmative, does not reveal the true merits of the debate. To Monmouth hearers the arguments of the William and Vashti team were largely popular and emotional appeals, and had logic and sound argument been given due consideration, the debate would have been awarded to Eccritean. The members of the Eccritean team each had strong speeches. The debate was held at Aledo on the evening of April 9. ® HE RAVELINGS, NINETEEN THIRTEEN ltUtam-31riurU iEnumoutl) irbatp.

While Mr. Chappell did not win the contest, his produc- tion ranked very high and his performance was a credit to himself and to the institution. qTHE RAVELINGS, NINETEEN THIRTEEN Mtn ' -BtaU ma Wvntantixi (Eoutrst . ii FRIDAY evening, April 26, Monmouth entertained the llrj Inter-State Peace Oratorical Contest in the College - Auditorium.

It was an afternoon late in the month. Without, a cold wind was twist- ing the naked tree limbs about, and mocking at the feeble rays of the sun, but within it was warm and cosy, for a cheerful fire was burning in the open fireplace of the old sitting room. The whole room was full of articles that called forth memories. On the walls hung enlarged photographs of Father and Mother Ludlow, of Brother Tom who lived in the far west, and of Sister Lillian, whose death a few months before had left Miss Letty quite alone in the old home. There was a hair wreath which contained locks from the heads of all the Ludlow women for years. There were samplers worked before the Revolution. But most highly treasured of all was the famous Ludlow quilt upon which she was now putting the finishing touches. This quilt was a wonderful creation. It represented in its contents the history of the Ludlow femininity. For years the material had been collecting, each gener- ation contributing its quota and with painstaking stitches sewing on a new circle of tiny blocks. In the very center was the first of all, a peice of great-great grandmoth- er ' s wedding gown, buff colored woolen goods with tiny rose sprays on it. Farther out were samples of the dresses grandmother Ludlow and her twin sister Louisa had worn at the time of the Great Fair, when the Ludlows had carried off all but three of the prizes offered in cookery and needle work. And here in the very last circle was a peice of the dress. Miss Letty herself had worn the night Tom Unsworth propos- ed. How happy she had been! Here was also, however a bit of the gown worn that last evening when Tom had left her with a laugh and a kiss, calling her already his dear little wife . But the very next day the Boston Limited had left the track down in the Ludlow pasture and Tom was carried up the hill to die in her arms. Ah, well! In the history of a family, woe as well as weal must be, and no second lover had come along the highway of Miss Letty ' s life to storm the ruined castle of her heart. And now, the quilt, the family masterpiece, would be handed down to posterity as a regis- ter of all the life stories it represented. Miss Letty ' s meditations were interrupted by a knock at the side door, which im- mediately opened, letting in a tall young lady who led by the hand a little boy, one of those children who eem to be expressly created by heaven to win all the hearts of mankind. He was about four years old, sturdy, independent and yet entirely lovable, with a roguish smile, and great innocent gray eyes, which belied his mischevious pranks. As if this were not enough to endear him to Miss Letty ' s heart, his name was Thomas. Aunt Letty said the girl, for the old lady was aunt by adoption to the whole village, Paul has sent word for me to meet him at the Junction and we will come home together on the Flyer. Doesen ' t it seam too good to be true that he is really coming? And may I leave Thomas here with you ? It ' s so cold to take him along. Oh, I knew you ' d say yes , you darling. How could I ever raise Thomas without you? Goodness THE RAVELINGS, NINETEEN THIRTEE? me! Only ten minutes until traiiitime. I must fly! and w ith many farewells and admonitions to Thomas to be a good boy and take care of Aunt Letty, she left even more suddenly than she had appeared. Thomas took her departure with perfect composure. He was used to being left with Aunt Letty. In fact, so far as he was concerned, he would just a little rather be left than not. Miss Letty ' s house was next to grandfather ' s farm in his estima- tion. To be sure, they kept cows and chickens and pigs at grandfather ' s, but Miss Letty had cookies and rosie cheeked apples and she did tell such lovely stories. Besides he had brought along his blocks and his tin soldiers. Who couldn ' t be happy under such circumstances? He set to work at once building a castle for his soldiers to cap- ture, on the big rug in front of the fire. After a few minutes talk and play. Miss Letty left him and went back to her sew- ing, for she had learned by experience that her powers to charm would be in great- er demand later in the day. Then too, she had promised herself that this afternoon the exact anniversary of the day it had been starte ' ' , should witness the completion of the Ludlow quilt. At first, she worked with one eye on the boy but gradually she became so absorbed in the exact placing of each dainty stitch that she forgot her surroundings. She had just started on the last seam when a childish scream startled her. She turned quick- ly around. Thomas had decided to poke the fire, gone too close to it and losing his balance, had quickly regained it but with his little garments afire. Miss Letty felt as though a great cloud had fallen upon her. She struggled desperately to fight off that blackness before her eyes. Finally she gained her feet, and sprang across the room, the woolen quilt on her arm. The little figure was now all aflame, but as she reached him, her senses seemed to clear, and she threw about him the precious quilt and smothered out the flames. Two hours later, when the doctor had left, after dressing the little fellow ' s wounds, which were serious enough but by no means fatal, and he had fallen asleep to the rythmic tale of Golden-locks and the Three Bears, Miss Lettie first had time to think over what had happened. She came back to the scene of the accident. There by the fireplace, where the ashes were smouldering, lay the Ludlow quilt. She pick- ed it up: here and there all over it were holes burned out and great scorched plac- es. Great-great grandmother ' s wedding dress would never be mentally visible to posterity — the center was entirely gone. Grandmother ' s soft gray was scorched beyond recognition. The Ludlow ancestral quilt was in ruins. Tears sprang to Miss Lettie ' s eyes. To think that the most treasured family possession had been destroyed in her very hands and just as it was finished. And they would blame her for it: she might have used something else, to be sure that rug on the floor, or the woolen shawl hang- ing on the back of the chair. But the thought of the little sleeper in the next room banished such misgivings. From a distance, the whistle of the Flyer as it neared Somerton , came to her ears and thinking of the happy, care free parents whom it boi-e, she slipped into the other room, saying to herself, The history of the Ludlow quilt is ended to be sure but Thomas ' has just begun. And after all it is a glorious end for the old quilt after so many years — to save a human life. It was surely the Ludlow ' s best product. But the father and mother of Thomas somehow seemed to think that Miss Lettie herself was the masterpiece of the Ludlow ' s. Esther Craig, ' 1.5. ® HE RAVELINGS, NINETEEN THIRTEEN Att a Qlhil g haU £mh ®hrm. Robert had found a new friend. Nothing unusual, for making friends was one of his inherent characteristics. For one of eight years he possessed the remarkable ability of finding some admirable quality in everyone who came within his acquain- tance. You see. Mother, it was this way, he explained. I was riding up the road toward the canyon and there just where the canyon begins, I met her; and Oh, she was riding the prettiest black pony. She lives with her father on a cattle ranch, somewhere up in the mountains. Her real name ' s Hannah but she said up there they call her The Princess. I don ' t see why they ' d call her that for she ain ' t nothing like my story-book princess. She ' s just a girl not much bigger than me, with big black eyes, and red hair, and her dress wasn ' t at all beautiful. But, Oh, she knows just everything about the mountains, and to-morrow she said if I ' d come up to the big rock she ' d take me through the canyon. However, Robert ' s enthusiasm for his new friend abated, somewhat, after he had waited for her about an hour the next morning. I was most afraid you ' d forgotten to come, he said when at last she appeared. But then I guess you ' re not the kind what forgets, are you? Oh, no, I didn ' t forget, Hannah answered. I came down slow just to see if you ' d still be waiting for me. I wouldn ' t cared if you hadn ' t staid ' cause I ' spect you ' ll get scared and want to go back just when we come to the nicest part. But come on let ' s start. I think it will be grand this morning. Truly, the canyon was grand. They rode their ponies up the narrow trail, fol- lowing close the creek which sang its song of many tones — now loud and strong where it plunged from one great rock to another; then soft — murmuring as it linger- ed among the moss-covered rocks and the roots of the over hanging elms. And, that it might not seem too dark and sad, here and there the sharp, quick sunbeams danced through the leaves on the mosses, the flowers and the rocks. Hannah liked the can- yon best where the creek rushed and roared the loudest because there, she said, it seemed to cry out that no matter what happened it would never stop. But Robert chose the place where the creek flowed smooth and easy because, he said, it was so cool and quiet there, that it made you feel like always being good. The trail became smoother as it lead out of the canyon, into the valley which swept away to the northward until it again came to the round topped mountains; then to the south where at Isst it en ' p-l in the waters of Bear Lake. And over it all — the mount- ains, the valley, the lake — the sky, cloudless and of the deepest blue, hung as an arch. This was Hannah ' s world. Here she had lived a happy life of sixteen summers, seldom going to the village but spending the days riding with her father over the valley or up into the mountains. The coyotes and jack-rabbits were her companions THE RAVELINGS, NINETEEN THIRTEE and with them she grew up strong, self-reliant, fearing nothing. She was not beau- tiful. Robert was right, for the sun and wind had ruin ed her complexion and her mouth was much too large. But her eyes — big, blue-black eyes that looked staight at you, and her hair, red indeed, but of such a marvellous, indescribable shade of red that it was quite in keeping with the nature of its owner; all made a face not easily forgotten. She was the life and joy of the ranch. They all worshipped her; from the Indian boy, Pedro, to the old rancher, himself, she demanded the same submiss- ive obedience. Robert ' s appearance in Bear Lake Valley added another to Hannah ' s list of wor- shippers. His admiration for her daring feats of bravery and adventure grew strong- er every day; because Hannah could climb to the highest rocks and up the steepest mountain trails without slipping down. And Hannah always knew where the largest and ripest berries grew. She could tell the most exciting stories of the Black Bear from whom the valley was named; and of Cap ' n Jack the old Indian who used to live in the mountains. Hannah was the boy ' s ideal of bravery. His boyish en- thusiasm for adventure and his pride and manly spirit spurred him on, always ready for anything Hannah might suggest. Hannah, on her part, thoroughly enjoyed such devoted obedience and made the very best use of it. She would climb to some high cliff and from the top would laugh- ingly watch the attempts of the little boy, to follow where apparently it seemed so easy for her to go. And one day they rode their ponies up a deep ravine, in search of a hidden cave. At last their search proving fruitless, they started back to the valley, when Hannah suddenly disappeared through the bushes, leaving Robert to find his way out alone. So everyday Robert, unconciously, was the object of Hannah ' s often dangerous pleasantry. Thus the summer passed. Then the rainy season put an end to Robert ' s visits to the mountains, for several weeks. But when the first clear day came, he was back again ready for any new adventure Hannah might have planned. I ' m going to cross the Range with Daddy, to-morrow, she announced the day of his return. We ' re going to the other ranch for the annual round-up and we ' ll be gone about a week. I ' m sorry you ' ll have to ride alone but I guess it will be good for you. Well, I guess I ' ll miss you a lot, answered the little boy, slowly. But then I won ' t mind riding alone, for you said I ' d be safe any place in the mountains didn ' t you? Hannah laughed, Oh, yes, you ' ll be safe enough any place you ' ll dare to go alone. That won ' t be very far away from the canyon, I guess. She little realized how confidently Robert believed those jesting words. Yet several times during the next week they came back to her and she wondered where the little fellow was or what he was doing. It was late in the afternoon when Hannah and her father came back into the valley after a week ' s absence. While still some distance from the house they saw the Indian boy, Pedro, apparently very much excited, running toward them. He began shouting at once but it was only after much gesticulating and repeating on his part and close questioning by Hannah that she learned what had happened. About three days before, Robert was riding up the mountain trail to the eagle ' s nest. The late rains had washed away the earth at a bend in the trail, leaving the path, looking safe enough from above but really consisting of only a thin crust of earth. Robert, firm in the belief of Hannah ' s words that he would be safe anywhere, rode unsuspectingly into the danger. Pedro was the first to discover the loose pony in the qThe ravelings. nineteen thirteen valley and after a couple of hours search found Robert, still alive, but very badly bruised. The Indian boy had been to the village that morning and heard the doctor ' s re- port that Robert would live although it would be many weeks before he would walk again. Hannah listened to the whole story then turned quiskly and rode down the can- yon. This time she went on till she came to where the creek flowed gently and all was quiet and still. And there she saw it all clearly — how her selfishness, her pride and her own love of pleasure had been the aim of her life. How Robert, with child- ish faith, believed her capable of only the best and had come to idolize her daring spirit. She saw too ' , how great an influence she had been in the child ' s life and grad- ually there awoke in the girl ' s soul a sense of greater responsibility. The old self- ish pride was crushed and in its place came a quietness and peace that answered to a nobler purpose. Hannah was beginning to learn the secret of the creek ' s softer song.

This is the one day of the year in which the upper classmen may lay aside their customary dignity and enjoy themselves to the utmost. At noon a dinner was served in the Gymnasium. The boys of the class excelled as waiters and proved that their education had not been confined strictly to literary subjects. The Toast Program which fol- lowed was another feature of the day. Since the affair was in the nat- ure of an Aviation Meet, the various toasts were naturally light and easy. The decorations were suitable to the occasion, being model aeroplanes and small airships suspended from the ceiling.

NINETEEN THIRTEEN iiag Party flf 19U. ■ One of the prettiest of all Monmouth College customs was the May Party given by the young ladies in honor of the men of the school. This festivity was held in the afternoon of May 17, 1911, between the hours of four and six. According to established custom, one of the girls of the Senior class was chosen by the young men of the College to be Queen of the May. Their choice was Miss Mary Cooke of Huntsville, Ohio. Miss Nancy Hutchinson of the Junior class was her attendant. The Festivities commenced with a grand march by all the girls from the library, across the Campus to the throne, which had been placed on the Campus west of the President ' s house. The Queen with her atten- dants of flower girls and pages then advanced to the throne where she sat in state during the ceremonies in her honor. Various dances of great beauty were given. The blending of the white and the various colors used in the dances, with the green of the Campus formed a very beautiful spectacle to the large crowd of onlookers. In every detail the grace and charms of the girls were evident, and the remarkable success of the affair proved the exceptional ability of Monmouth College girls as hostesses.

His fitness for the position was well shown by his splendid work with the baseball team last spring, when Coach Hahn gave his entire attention to the track squad. Coach McMillan is an alumnus of Monmouth College, graduating with the class of 1907. While in school, he developed into one of the best athletes that Monmouth has ever had. He was a member of the Tri-State Championship Football Team, a strong guard in basket ball and a winning pitcher for the baseball teams. He also had e.xperience in professional ball, becoming well known outside the sphere of college athletics. Since taking up his new work. Coach McMillan has shown that he merits the trust placed in him. Taking charge of the work at a time when the prospects were none too bright, his teams, thus far, have been an honor to himself and to the school. The Annual congratulates him on the success already attained and wishes him every success in the future. HThe ravelings, nineteen thirteen 3ant iall. Shr 1911 JTram. Paul Beach— Left End.

These together with the new men gave Coach McMillan some promising • material from which to select a team. The first game was played September 23, against the High School and resulted in a victory for the College 27 — 0. One week later, on a muddy field, William and Vashti was easily defeated. Mon- mouth ' s two big tackles, Ghormley and McBride, played a star game, while Schulz at end, and Megchelsen, at center, were strong in breaking through the line and blocking plays. Buckley was responsible for a pretty drop-kick from the 30 yard line, the game ending 9 — 0. The next Saturday saw our team pitted against the strong Northwestern eleven at Evanston, our first game abroad. Although our men put up a plucky fight, they were battling against too heavy odds, and the game ended with a score of 26 — against us. However, Northwestern was very favorably impressed with the playing of our team. Beach starred with his punting, making one of the longest punts ever seen on the Northwestern field. The next game was with Beloit, when we received the worst defeat of the season. Notwithstanding the overwhelming score, our men played a good game. The lineup was up to its usual form and held strong against the heavier Beloit line. The back- field also played well. The forward pass was worked often with much success. The score of 35 — 5 was hardly a fair comparison of the two teams. With the sting of defeat at the hands of Northwestern and Beloit still in their blood, and backed by a fine display of ' pep ' from the student body, the Red and White overwhelmed Parsons, the following week, by a score of 18 — 5. Parsons scored first on a fake. Their lead was short-lived, however, as Monmouth soon got busy, scoring three touchdowns and a drop kick before the last whistle sounded. The game with Milliken saw our team in its poorest condition of the season. Many of the men were compelled to remain at home on account of injuries while others who took part in the game were seriously handicapped. This necessitated a shift in the lineup, but in spite of this, the team fought hard and only allowed the strong Milliken eleven the big end of a 20 — score. The following two weeks were spent in preparation for the big game of the season — the game with Knox. On the afternoon of November 11, both teams were ready for the battle when a near cloudburst flooded the field to a depth of from four to six inches, followed by an icy wind which made the playing of the game impossible. That we did not get to play Knox was the greatest disappointment of the season. It would not be possible to say what the outcome of the game would have been, but, from all reports, and a careful comparison of the season ' s scores, the teams appeared so even- ly matched that the fortune of th e game alone would have decided the victor. The following Saturday we were defeated by Lake Forest 6 — 0, a possible vic- tory turned into defeat in the last few minutes of play. Lake Forest was unable to gain two consecutive downs against us during the game, but a misplay allowed a Lake Forest linesman to intercept a short pass, and, with an open field, he covered the THE RAVELINGS, NINETEEN THIRTEEN 50 yards for the only touchdown of the game. If the score had been reversed, it would more nearly have shown the relative merits of the two teams. The last game of the season resulted in the second defeat of William and Vashti 5 — 3. Beach did the scoring for Monmouth, returning a punt forty yards thrugh a broken field. In the last quarter, Shatford scored William and Vashti ' s three points with a drop kick from the 30 yard line. The prospects for a winning team next year look exceptionally bright, only two men being lost by graduation this year.

THE RAVELINGS, NINETEEN THIRTEE ' ul HE RAVELINGS, NINETEEN THIRTEEN laskrt lall Efutnu. ALTHOUGH our team did not secure either the championship of Illinois or that of the Little Five ' ' Conference, the season of 1912 was a very successful one. The schedule consisted of games with some of the strongest colleges in the middle West, and, while not all have resulted in victories for Monmouth, still we may well feel proud of the record of our 1912 team. Sixteen games were played, eleven of these resulting in victories. It is to be regretted that all five defeats were at the hands of Conference members, thus caus- ing us to finish fourth in the league. Beloit with no defeats, was undisputed champion of the Little Five . They had a large, fast experienced team and fully deserved first honors. Had our men shown the same ability to score against Conference opponents as they did against their opponents, the result would have been a championship team. This can be seen from the fact that we scored over one hundred points more during the season than our opponents. The team this year has left a record which will be hard to equal but, we may look for great things in 191-3. Although three men, Captain Nottleman, Art Shulz and Victor Work will be lost this year b y graduation. Captain-elect Malcolm Shulz, who was given a place on the all conference five, Bruce Henderson, who was placed on the conference second team and Beach will furnish a strong nucleous for another winning combination.

[♦NDER the leadership of Archie Hahn a tract; team was 4 PI developed which won both their dual meets and also made a creditable showing in the Conference Meet. The team was composed largely of inexperienced men, Captain Hartsock being the only M man on the squad. Out of the the nine who earned their letters last year, six men have re- ported for work this spring and should profit greatly from the experience gained last year. The great weakness last season was in the sprints, but this year it seems that this depaj-tment is to be especially strong, as a number of former High School speed boys are numbered among the members of the Freshman Class. Professor Davis, who is to assist Coach McMillan in getting the men into shape, is working hard with the large squad, and we may look for good results in this branch of ath- letics. The prospects in base-ball are brighter than they have been for years. Ten of the men who received Ms last sea- son, are back working for their old positions, and with the number of new men who have the reputation of being clever ball tossers, there promises to be a lively scramble for places on the 1912 Team. Last season ' s team was strong in fielding while the hitting at times was rather weak, but this year Avith the added experience of the past season, this part of the game should be greatly strengthened. Clifford Hamilton, who is to captain the team this year is a man of sterling qualities, and, by his example of hard, ccm- sistent work, should spur his men on to their best efforts. All of the Conference teams, with the exception of Beloit, will be met twice, and with an even break in luck, the championship should be ours.

A tragedy in One Act, being the pathetic tale of unappreciated sympathy. SYNOPSIS: — It was Friday. To be more exact it was Friday A. M. at 9:45 and the English Class were strolling into the Recitation room for their daily snooze. The rear guard in the back row was well represented with the prospect of each having to answer for only two names. Great excitement prevailed when it was discovered that Jimmie Foster was seated along with the Bailey-Gibb-Stevens-Buchannan quartet on the front row. Suddenly however the Austin-Bailey-Blayney-Brewer-Buchannan-Cleland-Curry noise started and keen interest was shown. Everything went well until the S ' s were reached and, with a few exceptions all were present. Suddenly the name Sherrick rang out on the still air but the quick response here was not forthcoming. Was it possible that Sherrick was absent ? The excitement was becoming intense, and sev- eral woke up when two of Sherrick ' s trusted pals realized that something must be done and done puickly. Together, at once, and at the same time, but alas, not in unison, they answered here. O, Absolom my son Chauncey. SlalrBt mti iJitii.

Arises slowly, unfolding his joints successively and brusiies Viis hair nervous- ly. Eyes the Prof, suspiciously and when questioned begins to display his complete knowledge on the assigned subject and all other knowledge. If questioned about a detail he turns dark crimson and finding his capacity exhausted with a sigh of re- lief he sinks loosely into the nearest chair. Afterwards he follows the recitation with very apparent interest. FAT HAMILTON. Uncoils his six feet two, slowly and with great dignity. When the subject is assigned he nods cheerfully as though to say, I ' ll be glad to tell you, sir, and pro- fusely agrees with any interpolation by the Prof, and again resumes narrative. The recitation completed he answers any further questions the Prof, may put to him with the same cheerful alacrity and the catechism completed he recoils slowly and quietly proceeds to get his lesson for next day. SNAKE WASSON. Pushes his head well forward, slowly rises, raises his right foot with a fk)urish and gives the Prof a squint as his name is called. When he has absorbed the general trend of his subject he pauses to muse a while on what possible connection there can be between the subject assigned to him and what he remembers of the lesson in the book. Finally grasping a clue he discusses the matter at great length in many glit- tering generalities, (safe method.) THE RAVELINGS, NINETEEN THIRTEE Inui (Ibni iSrrttP- YLZX CLELAND. Jumps up quickly as name is called and inclines his head toward instructor in order to get his subject perfectly. If he does not catch it verbatim he asks to have it re- peated. Assuming- a very erect attitude he puts both thumbs in the arm holes of his vest and cocks his head forward in the characteristic pose that g-ives him the nick- name of Tzzy . He recites in a very confidential tone as though the subject was of the utmost importance to the instructor and emphasizes each accentuated word with a nod of his head. He winds up his speech with an air of I have only treated this subject in an elementary manner and should you wish it I can enlarge upon it ad in- finitum . Sits down carefully, quietly and unobtrusively. JO LORD. Rises confidently and when questioned answers in an aggrieved tone as tho ' feel- ing hurt that the instructor is not content with her previous rep, as a basis to mark her on but must ask her questions on the lesson for the day. Once started she is very hard to stop for her mind concentrated on the subject matter any trivial remarks such as that will do fail to sink in. If questioned further, looks more hurt than ever and answers the question and proceeds with injured dignity as though there had been no interruption. Has no tolerance for Profs, who do not see it her way and will not condescend to argue with them. BILL WHITE. Arousing himself from a semi-somnolent state he rises slowly with an air of com- plete disgust and assumes a pigeon toed position, stuffs both hands in his pockets and gruffly asks what the question was. When informed, he scratches his head three times and stretches both legs. After making three or four unsuccessful attempts he sinks slowly into his se at and proceeds to consign the subject, the text book, the Prof., the department, the faculty and the whole d — college to the hot regions of Hades. He delivers them to eternal torture and only ceases his burning curses when Morpheus has carried him into a state of complete somnolence. qTHE RAVELINGS, NINETEEN THIRTEEN iFrom i ta rlauii.

All conservatories have something good in them but Monmouth is one of the best in all this great Miss- issippi Valley. 2. Because it is the Monmouth COLLEGE Conservatory. A college con- servatory, with its college atmosphere and social acquaintanceships, gives a fine environment for work in music. .3. Because it is the Monmouth College CONSERVATORY. By all means learn the Conservatory methods and get the benefit of its corps of teachers and catch the Conservatory spirit and feel the uplift of the Conservatory atmosphere. L If you have musical ability IT PAYS TO DEVELOP IT. Music teachers who fit themselves for the best positions get good salaries and can easily find pos- itions. 2. It takes LESS TIME, if you are musically inclined, to get a good musi- cal education that will fit FOR A GOOD POSITION, than to take an education in almost any other line. 3. You CAN BEGIN EARLY in your musical career TO USE your educa- tion in teaching others and thus pay for your own education as you advance in your studies. 1. Even if you never become a professional musician, you will find your knowledge of music will have a GREAT INFLUENCE IN OPENING TO YOU CHOICE CIRCLES of acquaintances and giving you prestige in many spheres of society. 2. IN THE HOME an ability to use your music gives you great power in entertaining and great opportunity to increase the joys of social life. 3. IN CHURCH AND RELIGIOUS WORK there are many occasions when a skill in music is of the greatest advantage to efficiency in Christian service.
