C. but in the place of the customary bright and glaring shade injurious to both eyes and understanding, we were the young, shoot- ing green that holds out the promise of great growth (therefrom). And in one short year we have demonstrated that we have taken firm root, are fulfilling our early promise and have already accomplished many achicA ' e- ments of note. One of our first signs of growing wisdom shown, was when we sent Liddle up the pole to plant the purple and gold on the very summit that it might proclaim that a new day had dawned for Monmouth College and the new class within her gates was continually stretching up ambitious fingers to clutch at glory in every field. The Sophs disposed of, we were able to turn our attentions to more important matters, and we first sought the gridiron where four of our boys earned fame for themselves, their class and their College. The upper-class- men, themselves, forgot the shade of their caps when thev saw the M sweaters beneath. Football season was scarcely over until h ' c entered three splendid teams in the inter-class Basketball tournament and we carried off the championship with almost ridiculous ease. The regular five were only too glad to accept one of our Freshmen as one of their best players and the old Gym rung many times at his many accurate baskets and splendid playing. Indoor inter-class track meet as well as the spring meet of the classes at the College Park brought two more well merited victories to the Class of ' i8 and we began to feel as though our branches were spreading rapidly and our growth becoming more and more advanced. Our latest athletic offering has been to present to the Baseball nine a splendid catcher and a pitcher, whom we hope will prove 5, second Schrenk. The Literary Societies find their most energetic, loyal and willing mem- bers among the Freshmen, and our scholastic record is one to be proud of. Both Glee Clubs and the Band have looked to our musical classmates for en- couragement and assistance. Moreover th e Oracle has depended upon the pen of one of our members for almost all its cartoons, and still another Fresh- man, (this time a girl) has been an occasional art contributor. Our career in the circles of polite society has not been neglected and early in the fall we had a class picnic at which we became acquainted. Our party at Wallace Hall, later in the winter, proved the congeniality of our classmates, the valor of our boys, and the grit of our girls, as they reclaimed their rooms at McMichael Home from the stacked condition in which they found them. Our Banquet, held in honor of Washington ' s birthday, according to custom, was a success, and the way our President out-manen ' ored his captors helped to make the occasion more enjoyable. We ' ve Quantity and Quality together. To bring our class thru any kind of weather.

Heterogenous assembly, U. P ' s. and other- wise, they came to quaff the chalice of wisdom from the famous Pierian spring by the perfume laden Cedar; some with expanded chests, flaunting their past records and High School success, others meeker and more modest, all worried in their spirits, but with brave and true hearts. Following the lead of nature we began to lose our verdure, and to realize that the fruits of summer are only the result of chastening winter. Of course we won the pole-scrap and celebrated this first of our many deeds of A alor in a fitting manner. Always has the Class of ' 17 been one of social inclinations, always in the van of the society whirl. However we have never been lacking in the austere curriculum of the school ' s activities from athletics to studies. Last fall we were especiali ' ' well represented on the championship football squad vvith six men. When ' 17 returned from its. summer Sdjourn at home for this year ' s visit as adherents of the Red and White, the class was again ready to take up the reins of leadership. After teaching the erring Class of 1918 its proper at- titude at the Country Club pond, and with various apparatus of the tonsorial parlor, we started anew on our career of successful social events, which will not reach its culmination for a generation. We will not boast for ourselves individuallv, but man for man or woman for woman, where can vou beat us? Remember that the Sophomores of todav are the Seniors of tomorrow. J ' icfor Aloffef. ' 17 feffe J i ■ « ' r{l fSi mHi ' m Page Forty-two Junior Class History UPREME in our own little world as freshmen, gaining a wider know- ledge of earthly affairs as sophomores, broadening out and develop- ing into full-fledged college men and women as juniors, we the Class of ' i6 enter upon our Senior year with all the attributes of leadership which that coveted position demands of those who would come within its realm. Whatever we may have accomplished as a class may be attributed to our unanimity of purpose. We have pulled together at all times. Our watch- word has ever been that time-honored phrase, United we stand, divided we fall. We have only to point you to our victory in the pole-scrap, our numer- ous class functions and anything else which we may have undertaken in our college career to show that we have never wavered from our purpose. As individuals we have even greater distinction. In number of athletes, debaters, orators, and fussers we stand without a peer. Our athletes have been the backbone of victorious athletic teams, our debaters have propounded such logic as to make them feared by the keenest of thinkers, our orators pro- claim the progress of the century in language which makes the speeches of Demosthenese seem as pygmies and our fussers — permit the rising gen- erations to tell of their accomplishments. H. Eddy, ' i6. BERNICE GILMORE Aledo Fishie Bernice is modest, sweet, simple the very type of Priscilla. Always ready to help on committees, she has made pood on the Ravelings Staff. She is a shark at politics and wire-pulling and would make a dandy suffragette. 1 ; CARRIE JOHNSON JAMES POLLOCK Monmouth Dot Aledo Jim- We don ' t know much about this This man is the genuine, 100 per lassie. She ' s a retiring: maiden cent pure, no-fake grind. He is s veet, demure and jolly.

This species is rare around M. C. HAROLD McCONNELL Monmouth Mac Mac is a human dynamo of en- ergy , forty horsepower, direct current. He is a genius at most anything, led on in his achiev- ments by a fair vision which smiles at him every time he looks at his watch. He ' s a congenial cuss, tells funny stories, laughs at his own jokes. MARGRETTA GARDINER Waterloo, la. Marg Margretta, that smiling lady straight from Fairy Hall to us be- cause she preferred M. C. to Lake Forest. She still preferrs M. C. but now she writes it Me. The one mystery about her is how she finds time to change her dress six times daily and still pull Dorm crimes.

His favorite literary character, Little DORA McFARLAND Aledo Mickey Dora is a real scholar. She can roll off Latin by the yard and College Math, came right along without the least fuss when it found out who was taking it. She can be dejiended upon in emergencies. HENRY HASTINGS Sparland Deacon Henry is a number I, double X, pure quill, all gold fellow. He has on his shoulders the welfare of the Y. M. and a strong case. But Henry can get along on less sleep than any man in school and is not hampered by Dorm rules. It ' s a case of ' sustained by Grace . GRACE COWICK Monmouth Gab She makes strong men quail before her flashing eye. She is a regular gatling-gun when it comes to slinging the lingo. She has a high pitched voice which carries like a forty-two centi- meter. Grace is a willing worker and a shark at dramatics. BRUCE BRADY Monmouth Da Da Brady lost the art of studying somewhere along in High School and has not been able to find it since. Noted for his bluffing pro- pensities in French and History. Thinks all women a snare and a delusion. A fiend for tennis, checkers and sleep. MARY PINKERTON Monmouth Pinky Mary has a face that reminds one of a Puritan maiden. She tak-es life quite seriously and Jias a vision which grows Bigger and Bigger. She thinks California just a grand place to live. JAMES KELSO Portland, Ore. Hank The library couldn ' t do business without James. His strong point is debate and extempos. He will long be remembered for his ex- tempo on Tilly, his Swede girl . James has a sagacious brow crowned with wavy wool. He is a pupil of Samson and death on the barbers. BETH NEWCOMB Garnet, Kan. ? Beth helps the faculty drum English into the Preps. She knows Browning by intuition and is confusion to the simple. We fear that somehow, she is too good for this wicked world. GORD(JN MARSH Monmouth Si Gordon is very bashful, shy and timid and has done nothing for which he should be greatly cen- sured. Since last year Gordon has been lonesome, we fear. But he will get over this as he gets older and then the steadies bet- ter look out. LULU ORR Columbus Junction, la. Lu It is almost impossible to say anything about Lulu because she has so little to say. These kind are such a relief sometimes. But other than this, we know nothing that would keep her picture out of the Ravelings. (;lknn xkji,s(jn Monmouth Doc Here ' s the grinning, giggling, simpering, tee-hee lad ; the origi- nal humorist of Monmouth, He can see a joke even at a funeral. If it wasn ' t for Doc the College would dry up and blow away. He is an intermittent fusser but generally prefers his own com- pany. EDITH BRIGGS Viola Briggie She has the charm of courtesy and the gracious words so sweet, and other virtues of the soul that make her so complete. GLENN McGREW Sport A mighty honk, a blurred vis- ion, a cloud of dust — McGrew is passing by.

Chuck thought it best to grasp the opportunity while he could and became an angel for ten minutes. (Looked like one, rather) FAITH HAWK La Grange Hope and Charity The great mystery is how Faith keeps off the probation list at the Dorm. Beats the institution out of all her credits and spends most of her time ' steadying instead of studying. ' What ' s the use of living if you can ' t have a good time? WILLIAM McCULLOUGH Monmouth Bill- Bill certainly lends a sporty air to M. C. With that Winona Lake manner and charming grace, he is an ideal ladies ' man. He says, If you want to get rid of a wo- man, grow a moustache or a beard. His favorite verse of scripture, Without ' Faith ' ye can do nothing. TOM WHITE Somonauk Te a Tom is a serious minded, sober eyed youth and that ' s the reason we are worried about those visits to Whiting Hall. Galesburg. We are sorry that the Monmouth var- iety does not suit him, but .then, what are you going to do about it? EVELYN CAMPBELL Morning Sun. la. Sis A mighty hunter {always at it) and her prey is man. Evelyn ' s one ambition is to be a flirt, and she don ' t care who knows it. If they ali fall for her she can ' t help it and so roses and Y. P. C. U. must be sacrificed.

Trix Evelyn has been very quiet, try- ing to give the impression that mere man was nothing to her. However ' tis rumored that she hath regular company, hence we have hopes. JAMES BURKHOLDER Monmouth Burk Burk is the President of the Crabbers Union and a veritable kill-joy. He is not by nature this way but his love affair preys on his mind. He agrees fully with the proposition that All the world loves a lover if he plays in his own backyard. MIRIAM DOUGHERTY Monmouth Ann She don ' t believe in marrying the first fellow that comes along.

III. f . ll o ' ( Page Fifty-four Senior Class History T IS exceedingly difficult for historians to write concerning their own age. They cannot place events in their proper relation nor do they get the true perspective. So events which seem commonplace enough now may in later years be viewed as turning points in history. When we entered Monmouth College things needed the tovich of a master hand and they got it. We came in six and ninety strong and are leaving with only thirty-six. The struggles and trials of college have thinned our ranks but we trust they have made strong men and women of the survivors. What we lack in numbers we strive to make up in power. In the new Who ' s Who in Monmouth we see more than half our num- ber enrolled. Captains of football, basketball, track and baseball hail from our ranks. College orators and debaters are added ; voices famous in mus- ical circles, renowned pugilists and writers of literary fame are included in the list. Though we are justly proud of our distinction and attainments, yet in after vears, I imagine, our thoughts will cluster about the friendships formed and the good fellowship we enjoyed rather than upon the honors we received. A class spirit, loval and affectionate, now takes the place of the old factional feeling. Four times now has the history of the Class of 1915 been written, yet the real history of our class is just beginning. Only a few weeks more and each member will go his way, mingle with the busy world and do his part toward completing the history of a great nation. ELLEN JEANETTE HENRY, A. B. Goldfield, la. Latin G.

Tll,iBfiIC Monmouth College Athletics y,OACH Ghormley is general Director of Athletics and coaches football, basket- ball and track. In football Ghormley excells as a line coach as he developed one of the strongest lines in the state. His greatest success consisted of putting out a basketball team which ranked second in the Little Five Con- ference. His track team this year will undoubtedly rank high also. The Coaches Three was the common name of the football coaching staff last fall. Coach Chet Smith was largely responsible for the victories of the Monmouth eleven. He taught the team a lot of class which a Stagg or a Yost would be glad to discover. He ranks high as a football coach or he could never have produced a championship team in one season. Chet is an ex-student of Monmouth and while in school was a star quarter-back. Coach Glenn Smith, brother of Chet , was a big figure in football. He could look at a play in practice and tell whether it would work or not in a game. His long suit was sizing up our opponents, then instilling ' enough pep and winning fight into the Monmouth team to win. To speak figuratively, Glenn could be called the Pep Coach which together with his football knowledge and coaching- was of in- estimable value to the championship eleven. In looking around for a baseball coach for the spring of 1915, Monmouth was fortunate in having in her midst such a man as Schrenk. Schrenk knows baseball and at the time the Ravelings went to press was doing wonders with the team. Athletic Board 1914-1915 Robb Nichol Ralph Stine A. G. Patton, M. D. Ivory Quinby H. W. Church Ivory Quinby A. G. Patton, M. D. H. W. Church Dr. T. H. McMichael William McCuUough Charles Fort i ilJM Football Review Page Sixty-nine f lirs ' .OOK at the list of scores on the following page if you wish to see where Mon- mouth stood in the Football arena of the Middle West, at the close of the 1914 season. Eight victories and one defeat, which was a 9 to 6 victory until the last two minutes of play. The student body had a right to be optimistic over football prospects last fall when twelve M men and thirty new recruits reported for practice. The quality of the newcomers was shown when at the end of the season eight M ' s were awarded to men who could wear them for the first time. Fight, that ever-lasting fight, was the secret of Monmouth ' s successful football eleven this year. If the Red and White machine could hold the opponents the first half, the victory was assured for Monmouth would always come back with just a little more fight than ever before. The victory over Knox College on Thanksgiving Day marked the close of one of the most successful football seasons ever experienced by Monmouth Colleg ' e. Winning eight out of nine games played, winning every game played in the conference and state, winners of the Little Five conference and th state championship, Monmouth has a record of which she may be proud. The 1914 Football Team will take its place among the honored teams of the college. There are several other facts that are interesting to note in summing up the work of the season. The team won five games on foreign fields, winning every game played away from home. Of these games. Parsons suffered the worst defeat she has ever met on her home field; we scored more points against Penn College than any other college she met this year; Lake Forest was taken into camp on her home field for the first time since 1907; and to crown the season ' s success we accomplished what Monmouth has hoped to do for years, defeated Knox on Willard Field, running up a larger score against her than any other team she played this season. In the one defeat of the season, the game with Coe, we lost 13 to 9. We have the satisfaction of making the largest score of the season with the exception of Ames, against the Iowa College champions. We are one of two colleges to score against Coe in two years. Our record score of the season was made in the Grinnell game when we trounced the lowans 71 to 0. Without doubt the team played the best game at Lake Forest, a clean cut, hard fought game, in which was displayed a lot of class. The outstanding feature of the team work has been that each man of the eleven did his part to make the team a winning machine. No one player loomed up as an individual star for every man played his position, all showing real class in some de- partment of the game. The total score of the games indicates both the offensive and defensive strength of the team. The line was a stone wall on defense. There were no consistent gains made through our line at any time throughout the season. The secondary defense proved equally strong in the more open play. The 42 points scored by our opponents were made in four games, the other five games resulting in blanks for the opposing teams. The 260 points to our ci-edit shows something of our offen- sive strength. The blocking and running of interference on the part of the Monmouth team was a matter of frequent comment by opponents and spectators, and was a strong factor in our successful offensive playing. It is interesting to note the strength Page Seventy Football Review continued of the team in the last quarter of games. 118 points were scored in the first half, and 142 in the last half, of which 86 were made in the last quarter. The team showed strong finishing ability, and it was noticeable that our men came out of every game in better physical condition than their opponents. Raymond led in the scoring, having 82 points to his credit, 36 from touchdowns, 25 goals from touchdown, and 21 points from field goals. White led in scoring touch- downs with 42 points. Leland Turnbull scored .36 points, McConnell 30, Traub 19, Kelly 12, Hardin 12, Graham, Smeby, Eddy and Ghormley 6 points each, and McMichael 1 point. Although the preceding paragraphs have lauded the varsity, the second string men cannot be overlooked. They played a big part in helping win the championship by the strong scrimmage they put up against the first team. The scrubs played four games, winning three and scoring 68 points to their opponents 12. Next year ' s team will present practically the same squad with the exception of Graham and White. This will be a good nucleus around which to build another cham- pionship team in 1915.

' iS itt ii HH ■ NiH Individual Write-ups BOB GRAHAM Captain Bob Graham at quarter-back was an ideal leader for his winning eleven. His steady, reliable playing, sure tackling, certainty to get his man in interference, together with his good generalship instilled confidence and fight into his team mates. He was picked by Coach Carrithers of Lake Forest, for quarter-back of the Little Five eleven. ABE TRAUB Monmuth ' s left end was the best man for the position in the .state. Traub was a sure tackier, rugged smasher and a good ground gainer. He was a valuable man to the team for his punting and forward pass throwing. He outpunted all opposing kickers and was sure, accurate and used excellent judgement in making passes. MAC McCONNELL McConnell at half played a hard steady game, being especially strong at carrying the ball for a gain through the strongest opposition. He is good at receiving forward passes and getting away with ' em. Mac is a low, hard runner, who never stops unless brought to earth. BUGS RAYMOND Raymond was the most valuable player on the Illinois State Champions ' team and the best man in the Conference on returning punts. He was a consistent ground gainer and a good open field runner. His kicking ability was especially noticeable. He made twenty-five out of twenty-nine tries at goal from placement and seven place- kicks, two of them being forty yards each. Seventy- four Individual Write-ups continued CHUCK GHORMLEY At left end Monmouth had a Freshman who will tear up the best lines made, by the time he is a Senior. Ghormley was a hard charger often breaking through to throw the opponents for a loss. He was a good man at carrying the ball and was fast at getting down under punts. HEAVY TURNBULL On the right side of the line, Paul Turnbull upheld his share of the tackling game. Although new as a lineman, having previously played full-back, he developed fast and will be a tower of strength. He was fast at getting down on punts and carried the ball for good g-ains. Heavy will not be forgotten for his eighty-five yard run in the Grinnell game. BALDY TURNBULL Leland Turnbull, right end, was the forward pass demon of the team and his achievements in the Lake Forest game, which paved the way for the Little Five and State Championships, will never be forgotten. He was equally as valuable on defense, being a hard tackier and excelling in running down under punts. Lee is captain- elect of next year ' s team. GAIL McCLEARY The left guard position was well taken care of by McCleary, who made a strong bid for the all-conference eleven. He was strong on blocking, opening holes and taking off men of the secondary defense. McCleary always came out of a game in better shape than his out-played opponent. TIT KELLY Kelly played in hard luck last season as he was kept out of most of the games on account of a charley horse . He recovered for the Knox game, however, and showed rare form at half-back. He has won his M for three years and will be counted on to come back as strong as ever next year. PIP HOOD Hood, substitute center and guard, was a reliable player. By the end of the season, Pip showed up exceptionally strong on defense. As a fighter he was hard to beat. Hood is a sophomore and next year Monmouth Colleg ' e is counting on a good deal from him. SWEDE FACKLER Fackler played right guard and was noted for being the quickest charger in the line. He put all he had into every game, blocking his man on defense and open- ing a hole on offense. This was Harry ' s second year at football. He should be among the top liners next season. DAVE McMICHAEL McMichael at quarter showed g-ood generalship and steady, reliable playing when called upon. He played any position on the team with credit. Dave added much to the versatility of the team by his drop kicking and forward passing. He distinguished himself as an end smasher in the Lake Forest game. Page Seventy-! Individual Write-ups continued RUNT HARDIN Hardin belonged to the Little Giant Club but made up for lack in weight in aggressiveness and quick action. Dell ' s playing at half-back in the Lake Forest game won for him honorable mention among Little Five teams. Runt has two more years of college football in which time he will undoubtedly prove that he is among the best of ' em. BILL McCULLOUGH McCullough easily outclassed all opposing centers last fall. He was strong on defense, tackling all over the field. His passing was accurate. Bill was is every play, was a heady player and a fighter. He always put everything he had into every game. Next year the six foot center can be counted on to uphold the pivot position of the line. SPUD WHITE White leaves a vacancy at full-back which will be hard to fill. He was one of the highest scorers the team had and was always dependable for a good gain through the line. Pud had an over abundance of pep and fight which inspired his team mates to keep going at top speed. He was a varsity man for three years. HANK EDDY Monmouth was fortunate in having such a reliable man to depend on as Eddy. Hank was often called on in an emergency to fill either the half-back or end posi- tions. He was noted for his pig-iron tactics in tackling and smashing inter- ference. Eddy has one more year to help Monmouth win another State Championship. ELMER SMEBY Last fall, Monmouth had an abundance of line material. Smeby was one of these versatile substitute linemen who played either guard or center with equal effective- ness. He was accurate at snapping back the ball and at guard position played ex- ceptionally well for a first year man. Page Seventy-eight The All Star Little Five Team By Coach Smith |IGHT, that everlasting fight was the secret of Monmouth College ' s successful football eleven this year. The first qualification for a first team berth was the fighting spirit. If the Red and White machine could hold the opponents the first half, the victory was assured for Monmouth would always come back with just a little more fight than ever before. All coaches realize that it is only by close watching of their own candidates through days of practice that they can fully determine who are best qualified to fill the different positions, and yet they ask me to pick an all-star conference team. By much burning of midnight oil, by adding and subtracting and dividing, checking up one leg against the other and by other mysterious tactics is evolved an eleven which is labelled All- Conference team. Naturally, I can ' t see much else but Monmouth players. This year, however, with but three teams to choose from, Beloit refusing to meet either Knox or Monmouth, offered an excellent opportunity to size up the comparative ability of the players. Little Five Eleven R. E. — Krueger, Lake Forest. R. T.— Berry, Lake Forest. R. G. — Hartman, Knox. C. — McCullough, Monmouth. L. G.— P. Turnbull, Monmouth. F. B.- L. T. — Ghormley, Monmouth. L. E.— Traub, Monmouth. Q. B. — Raymond, Monmouth. R. H. B.— Stowe, Knox. L. H. B. — Dunsmore, Lake Forest. -Gray, Lake Forest. The backfield almost picks itself. Gi ' ay of Lake Forest was undoubtedly the best full-back in the conference, showing to advantage both offensively and defensively. Rossom of Knox and White of Monmouth both played strong games, but both were handicapped during the season with injuries. In the writer ' s opinion, Stowe of Knox is without doubt the best half-back of the Little Five. A brilliant open field runner, he combines speed with a fierceness of at- tack that makes him dangerous to opponents at all times. The other half-back position is given to Dunsmore of Lake Forest. On account of his consistent good work through- out the season, he is pfaced as Stowe ' s running mate. Raymond of Monmouth, while really a quarter-back was switched to half-back position early in the year. He was the most valuable man on Monmouth ' s winning eleven, and the best man in the conference on returning punts. Graham of Monmouth showed good generalship throughout the season. Traub of Monmouth and Kreuger of Lake Forest make an ideal pair of ends. Both are sure tacklers, rugged smashers and excellent end men. On account of Traub ' s punting he is the more valuable of the two. Turnbull of Monmouth and Carroll of Knox are almost equally as good. With Berry of Lake Forest and Ghormley of Monmouth in the tackle positions, we have a pair of slashers . Hard chargers, both men are especially strong on de- fense. Paul Turnbull, Monmouth tackle, has been shifted to guard in which position he would undoubtedly outplay any other guard in the state. Hartman is the best man in the Knox line and without doubt the best man who could fill the other guard position. McCleary of Monmouth would be the next choice. McCullough of Monmouth played a strong consistent game throughout the season tackling all over the field. He easily outclassed the other centers. While all these men are not stars of the first calibre, and although in many cases, you will disagree with me, this is a team that would make all g-o some for the money. Page Eitrhty-on Baseball Review HE 1914 Baseball Season was far from successful, due to the fact that the squad, for the most part, was made up of green men. Out of sixteen games during the spring, Monmouth was returned victorious in one; however, such a record does not indicate the character of the contests for the opposing nines did not win in a walk by any means. Despite the attempts of the coaches to bolster up the line-up, their efforts were of no avail. The pitching staff. Captain Wasson, Schrenk and Kopke, was strong but generally ga mes were lost by lack of support and a proper knowledge of inside baseball on the part of other members of the team. The chief difficulty with the raw material seemed to live in inability to run bases, while an over-anxious spirit also predominated. The season started off fairly successful, the first five games being lost by close scores. Toward the middle of the year the jinx obtained a firmer hold and held sway until near the end of the schedule when Monmouth broke loose and beat Parsons in its first and only victory. Several of the alumni ball players, who were here during commencement week, made the trip to Iowa Wesleyan and appeared in the line- up but they too were unable to bring back a victory. The year of 1914 was certainly a jinx to baseball.

She won seven out of twelve college games played. Four of the five defeats were at the hands of the two strongest teams in the state, Northwestern and Lake Forest. Monmouth succeeded in climbing out of the cellar this year and landed in second place in the Little Five, having won three and lost three conference games. Two of the victories were from Knox. It is always gratifying to Monmouth students to win from our old rival, and we have made a clean sweep so far this year. We brought home the victory from Galesburg by a single point. Armour won from us at Chicago by a single point. The team was well balanced and played a steady game throughout the season. The men displayed the old fighting spirit that has characterized so many of Monmouth ' s teams, and this spirit together with the harmonius work of the players has been a big factor in the success of the team. In individual work White and McMichael deserve a great deal of credit for their guarding. They rank among the best guards in the state. McMichael played a run- ning guard and totaled 23 baskets from the field while holding his forward to 11 bas- kets. In three games his man failed to score. Dave added 52 points from the foul line, making a total of 98 points to his credit during the season. He has one more year on the team, and will be a valuable man next year. White played a back guard and held his forward to 15 baskets and registered seven himself. He has been a most valuable man and has been the spirit of the team. He has lots of pep and has the ability to instill it into his team mates. In five games his forward failed to score. This is his last year and he will be missed greatly next year, not only on account of his playing ability, but enthusiasm and friendship as well. He is always a favorite on a foreign floor, and makes friends on every trip. Captain McConnell and Smeby made a splendid pair of forwards. McConnell worked the floor, while Smeby played under the basket most of the time. This is Mac ' s second year on the team and he has played a splendid game this year. He is a hard worker and has shown ability in running the floor, and in basket shooting, and was especially valuable in offensive work. Smeby played his first year on the team, and is a hard man to keep from scoring when given a half a chance at the basket. He led the -team in scoring, making a total of 103 points, three points being from the foul line. He has three years more with us. At center, TurnbuU proved a most valuable man. He was not as ' heavy ' on the scoring end of the game as some of the other men of the team, but when it came to getting hold of the ball and passing it to safe territory, Heavy was right on the job. He broke up more of the opponents ' plays and handled the ball better than any man on the team. The second team is largely responsible for the fight displayed by the first team, for they made the varsity fight for every point they scored in practice, and many times sent them to the showers with a stinging defeat. They won the three games during the season, and with four of the letter men of the first team fighting for positions next winter, Monmouth should be well represented on the floor again next year. Among the men who stayed on the squad the whole season, Ady, Moffett, Eddy, Gard- iner, Stewart and Ghormley, deserve especial mention for their faithfulness in work, and the showing they made in their playing.

Although the results of the Knox dual meet and the Conference Meet were disappointing, the team deserved a great deal of credit for the showing they made. Monmouth had the best team since the days of the championship teams of 1907 and 1908. The best records of the last five years were made in nine events. Kelly and Denniston both equaled the college record of 10:1-5 in the 100 yd. dash, and Beckett set ' a new mark in the two mile. In the dual meet with Parsons, Monmouth took all but one first. Knox nosed us out in the dual meet by only eight points, winning these on seconds and thirds for Monmouth won half of the firsts in this meet. The Conference Meet proved to be the hardest fought meet in the history of the Little Five. Lake Forest won the meet with 40 points, with Knox, Beloit and Monmouth finishing close in the order named. Monmouth scored more points than in any other conference meet, and in several events was forced into second place by inches, which goes to show the keen competition of the meet. We placed in ten events. Beckett and Kopke are missing this year. The remaining six M men and a wealth of new material give promise of a first class team for the 1915 season. 1914 Schedule and Results April 25 — Interclass Meet.

HIS meet proved a decided success in every way this year and there is un- doubtedly a fixed place for this event on the Monmouth Calendar. May 22nd and 23rd were big days for Monmouth, for the Interscholastic and Conference Meets brought two hundred high school and college athletes to participate, besides a large crowd of rooters from the schools. Fourteen high schools were represented. The competition in every event was keen, and eight new records were established, every track record was broken and a new mark was set in the pole vault. Not until the last event, the half mile relay, was the outcome of the meet decided. Swanson of Viola and Hamblin of Galesburg led the individual scoring with eight points each. The final standing of the teams was as follows: Rock Island 21; Galesburg 18; Viola 16; Biggsville 14; Kirk wood 10; Strong- hurst 9; Beardstown ;9 Vermont 6; Roseville 4; Seaton 3; Keokuk 2; Alexis 1.

' ENNIS in Monmouth College has at last come into its own. 1914 marked Monmouth ' s first entry in inter-collegiate tennis tourneys. May 22 and 23, it was Monfriouth ' s privilege to act as hosts for the Little Five Tennis Tournament. The courts were put in fine shape, and some royal contests were put on, Lake Forest emerging winners from the fray in both singles and doubles. The Lake Forest representatives had already defeated Northwestern and Chicago Universities, but did not lack strong competition from the Monmouth, Knox and Beloit men. In singles, Melroy of Lake Forest won from Brady after losing the second set. 6-2, 3-6, 6-0. Prince, Knox, beat Cleland, 6-2, 1-6, 6-1; Raisen, Beloit, beat Yates, Knox 6-3, 6-4; Thayer, L. F., defeated Ryan, Beloit, 6-3, 4-6, 6-2. In the semi-finals Thayer won from Prince 6-1, 6-3, and Melroy from Raisen 6-2, 6-3. Two Lake Forest men being left in the finals, Melroy defaulted to Thayer. In the doubles contest, McMichael and Cleland were nosed out by Beloit 6-2, 7-9, 6-2, who in turn fell before Lake Forest 6-3, 6-1, 9-7. Lack of experience and practice weakened Monmouth in this tourney but in two meets with Iowa Wesleyan, Monmouth won five out of six matches. At Mt. Pleasant June 3, McMichael and Brady won the doubles from Leubbers and Weston 6-0, 6-2, and split the singles, McMichael defeating Jeffreys 6-2, 6-4 and Brady losing to Leubbers 4-6, 8-6, 6-2. In the home match June 6, Monmouth made a clean sweep of the honors. McMichael and Cleland won the doubles 7-5, 9-7; McMichael defeated Leubbers, 6-3, 7-5; Cleland beat Weston 7-5, 6-1. Page Ninety-thr Dorm Athletics ITH the occupation of McMichael Home there has come a new factor into the Hves of the girls at Mon- mouth College. They have always been free to take part in the privileges of the tennis courts, but aside from this they have had no regularly organized form of athletics. This year a gymnasium was fitted up on the third floor of the Dormitory and regular, compulsory gym classes for girls were organized. Miss Maude Hood was engaged as physi- cal director with Mildred Currier as assistant On Monday evening, December 14, the three gymnasium classes united to give a short exhibition to progress. The mothers of the girls, the lady members of the faculty, the wives of the gentlemen of the faculty and the phvsicians of the citv and their wives were the guests invited to be present. Mrs. McMichael, who has always shown great interest in the pro- gress of physical culture among Monmouth girls, told the guests of the method of corrective exercise used by Miss Hood. The exhibit itself was a sample class, one third of which was given by each of the three regular classes. In addition to this there was the grand march in which all the girls took part.

Mr. Smiley has a commanding stage pres- ence and an excellent delivery. The subject of his oration was, The Opportunity for Leadership. State Oratorical Contest Monmouth was represented in the State Contest by Ralph White. The subject of Mr. White ' s oration vvas The Mas- ter Instinct. It deals with the peace movement in a new light and is an excellent production. With this oration and Mr. White ' s recognized ability in delivery it was rather a disappointment that he did not secure first honors. But the ways of judges are devious and we were forced to bow to the inevitable. Page Ninety-eight Inter-Society Contest 1914 I FTER a two years ' intermission, during which time all difficulties were satisfactorily settled, the soci- ety contest was again resumed. The clash was one of the most spirited in the history of the school. Philo was declared victor, the final standing being six to four. Eccrit- ean was represented by Hastings, declaimer ; Wagner, essay- ist; White, orator; and Gillis, debater. Philo ' s representa- tives were, Smilev, Beck, Buchanan and Robert Teare. Teare, Smiley and White were awarded the decision of the judges ;ind the essay was declared a tie. Thus the final standing was, Philo 6, Eccritean 4. Page Ninety-nine Review of Debate Season Coach Andrews HE Monmouth debate victories, of the last two years, cannot be at- tributed to any one infhience. Such a record can only be brought about by a number of forces applied to best advantage. In re- viewing the work of recent teams, we are convinced that nothing new has been discovered in the field of debate, but rather that the success was brought about by the development of material at hand. In pointing out the elements of strength that have contributed to vic- tories, we must note first, that Monmouth has been fortunate in having splendid material. The members of the teams, have distinguished them- selves for scholarship, and their careful liabits of reasoning were of great value when applied to cjuestions of debate The record is also partly due to the work of the literary societies. While these organizations have not been all, that their ardent admirers have wished, still it was here that the rough corners were rubbed off, and speakers accjuired that confidence that only comes from constant practice. A third factor that has been conducive of good results, has been the strong field of competition. With nineteen men trying for places, the survival of the fittest, must have a fundamental knowledge of the subject, and also possess power in delivery. However, the most important reason why Monmouth has been securing unanimous decisions, is that the local teams have always out worked the opposition. The extensive preparation for rebuttal work has given the teams the edge, over their unprepared opponents, while constant drill in delivery has enabled each speaker to clinch his points as he proceeded. With a good crop of youthful debaters coming on, it is to be hoped that the record can be maintained. However, five out of six debates, and a total of fifteen out of eighteen judges is a record that will be hard to sur- pass. Pace One Hundred Illinois Debate It will be remembered that Illinois defeated Monmouth on their home floor last year. The unanimous decision which the affirmative team received this year against Illinois was therefore especially welcome. The debate was held March 26. The affirmative team was composed of Albert Bell, Carroll French and Harold McConnell. The cjuestion debated was, Resolved ; That labor unions should be exempt from the Sherman Anti-Trust Law. Page One Hundred On Augustana Debate Monmouth again demonstrated her superiority in for- ensic Hues by defeating Augustana College of Rock Island, by a unanimous decision. Monmouth was represented bv Frank Stewart, James Kelso and Robert Teare. The debate was on the same question and held on the same date as the Illinois Debate. Page One Hundred Two Inter-Society Contestants 1915 CARROLL FRENCH Eccritean French has represented the college twice in debate. In his Sophomore year he won the James Nevin prize for the best individual debater of the college. He is a fluent speaker and is especially ong ' in extemporaneous rebuttal. JAMES KELSO Philo Mr. Kelso is a debater of no mean abil- ity. In his Freshman year he enjoyed the distinction of being the only first year member of the varsity team. He is a logical thinker and a forceful, ready speaker. RAYMOND SMILEY Philo Mr. Smiley is a natural orator. He possesses a well modulated voice and a pleasing, graceful stage presence. He has won many honors for Philo and great things are expected of him in this contest. HENRY HASTINGS Eccritean Hastings is one of Eceritean ' s hardest workers. He has struggled against odds in public speaking and his direct con- versational method and easy stage pres- ence have been attained by earnest effort. ALBERT BELL Eccritean Eccritean has chosen as her essayist one of her most consistent workers. Bell came to college with practically no plat- form experience and during four years has made remarkable development. With his graduation Eccritean loses one of her most valuable men. GEORGE WARNER Philo Warner is possessed of an excellent command of the English language and a flowing style of writing. He is a care- ful, thorough student and Philo knows that he will give his best. He has been one of her most consistent workers. Paire One Hundred Fi- LAWRENCE TEARE Philo Mr. Teare has had many years of platform experience. He came to collepfe with a long line of High School victories. Since entering college he has won the Philo Declamation Contests and ranked high in others. He has a graceful, easy stage presence and a wonderful speaking voice. ERNEST McCAW Eccritean Eccritean ' s declaimer has also made quite a record in declamation. He has won the Eccritean Declamation Contest in college and his ability along that line is unquestioned. He is a Sophomore and will serve his society two more yeai-s. Coach Arthur Andrews HE success of Monmouth College in her forensic efforts can largely be attributed to Professor An- drews, head of the Oratory Department. He is a graduate of Michigan University and Monmouth ' s debate record testifies to his ability. Since his advent, literary work in college has been given a great impetus. He has taken an active interest in the literary socities and the work done there has been of a higher order because of his efforts. That for- ensic work is gaining in popularity among the students is evidenced by the fact that twenty-five tried out for the col- lege debate teams and fifteen for the honor of representing Monmouth in oration. Andrews is a firm believer in the gospel of hard- work. He maintairjs that no success is attained in literary work without strenuous effort. The debaters and orators will tes- tify that he believes what he says. His capacity for work, enthusiasm and ability to transmit knowledge to ' others, com- bine to make him an ideal literary coach. We hope he will be a member of the Monmouth College faculty for years to come.

The Oracle has advanced in standard and merit each succeeding year and this year has been no exception to the rule. The style of journalism has been of the best, yet the tone of the paper is spirited and wide awake. In its columns student body opinion has been given free expression and it has been a constructive agent in the life of Monmouth College. The 1916 Ravelin ' s Board The Ravelings is the year book of Monmouth College and its publication each year is entrusted to the Junior Class. It is the ambition of each class to put out a finer book than the preceeding class has done and to advance the standard of Mon- mouth College Annuals. The Class of ' 16 have this year endeavoured to set a high standard of workmanship in the edition of the Ravelings and to put out an Annual of unusual merit.

M. C. A. DEPARTMENT. The Y. M. C. A. has had a very successful year under the outgoing cabinet. No startling changes have been made but there has characterized the administration, a steady advance which has meant much for the spiritual and religious life of the col- lege. The regular meetings have been the big feature of the work this year. The subjects discussed on Sabbath afternoons have been those which are of vital interest to college men as the increased interest and attendence will testify. Other depart- ments deserve mention. A new Bible Study plan was adopted by which emphasis was placed upon the morning watch as well as regular classes. Mission Study classes studied Immagrant Forces and The Emergency in China under the leadership of Dr. McMichael and Prof. Gunthorp. A Gospel Team spent a part of the Christmas vacation at Stronghurst. They did good work and won the esteem of the people of that community. Some social events were on this year ' s calendar under the manage- ment of the Y. M. C. A. which brought the fellows into closer relations of friendship. Seven responded to the call of beautiful Lake Geneva and spent ten days at the twenty- fifth annual Y. M. C. A. Conference. The organization has had the earnest support of the men of the colleg ' e during 1914-1915. Stronghurst Team Gospel Teams This department deserves very flattering mention this year on account of effi- cient work done. Two eight day trips of Gospel teams have met with unqualified success and numerous week end visits have been made by Y. M. C. A. men for con- ducting Sabbath Services at various local congregations. The Gospel Team idea is growing and with the enthusiastic support of the college and church should be stronger than ever next year. Morning Sun Team HI T B Page One Hundred Twenty-two Y. W. C. A.

W. C. A. for 1914-1915 The year 1914-1915 was a good year for the Y. W. C. A., although not an un- usual one. The Association was visited by Miss Raymond, the Central Field Secre- tary and By Mrs. McClure and Miss Kelsey from the Student Volunteer Movement. Then too, as a result of several years ' work, the Association was able to purchase a new piano for the Circle Room. The Voluntary Study Groups also show signs of life. The committees in charge enrolled 130 in Bible Study throughout the year and 73 in Mission Study. The total receipts into the treasury were $446.90; the total ex- pendit ures were $350.82. These are the outward results of the year. It does not tell you of the splendid spirit that brought an average of fifty girls out to the weekly circle meeting and that made the girls of Monmouth College stand together in all Christian projects. Never- theless, that is the real test of the Association and it has stood the test. l iMw Page One Hundred Twenty-three Page One Hundred Twenty-four Der Deutcher Bund ' President Secretary-Treasurer Russell Wagner Richard Bigger Several new features characterize this organization as one of the most promi- nent in College. All meetings are carried on entirely in German. Visitors ' Night and the German Christmas Eve Dinner are new and notable functions. The Annual Play, the social events and frequent lectures by local or foreign celebrities, make things interesting for all who are so fortunate as to be members of the Club. The membership is restricted, and to be eligible one must have at least three semesters of German and a ranking of B. EIN AMERIKANISCHES DUELL.

Helene von Stern Esther Craig Freiherr von Rodin Robert Teare Alfeld Victor Moff ett Charlotte Eunice Parr IIM Page One Hundred Twenty-five Student Volunteer Band The Student Volunteer Band is composed of college men and women who are look- ing forward to Christian work in the foreign fields. Frequent prayer circles and de- votional meetings are held, on subjects of special interest. A monthly open meeting is usually addressed by some well known missionary. The fact that the Missionary problem is nothing more nor less than the development of the social, intellectual, polit- ical, industrial and religious life of two-thirds of the world ' s population makes it a subject of interest to every student.

It is com- posed of all men who have won M ' s , including the alumni as honorary members. Its purpose is to further the athletic interests of Monmouth College. A banquet was held on April 21, after which there was an informal discussion, formulating plans for the future. The club conducted the Western Illinois Interscholastic In- vitation Meet this year, entertaining the high school visitors and officiating at the meet. The officers for the vear ' were : President Roy Denniston Vice President David McMichael Secretarv Leland Turnbull Page One Hundred Twenty-seven Monmouth College Band fiK imihimm One of the features of this school year was the organization of the Monmouth College Band. It is the first organization of its kind in the history of Monmouth College and no doubt fills a long felt want. The first meeting of the band was held on October 1, 1914. In this meeting it was decided to ask the student body for financial aid with which to make a start. The student body responded freely and the necessary music and instruments were obtained. On the following week the band made its first public appearance at a rousing pep meeting preceding the Northwestern football game. The band was small, having only sixteen members, but it could make noise and that was what was most desired then. The band played at all the home football games and no doubt helped boost the pep in the rooting of the student body. Too much cannot be expected from the band in its first year, give it time to develop and it will make a reputation for itself, as well as for Monmouth College. Up to the present time the band has only played at athletic games. It is, how- ever, hoped that in the future it will be able to give an annual concert in the Auditorium and to play weekly concerts on the campus during the spring. The Monmouth College Band, though young, is a worthy organization and is bound to develop. It deserves a boost and not a knock from every loyal student of Monmouth College. Page One Hundred Twenty-eight Seminary Band Organized last year, growing in strength and popularity, this club has proven its need by its service. It develops co-operation between the men who look foward to direct Christian work for the Master. It keeps in touch with the College men who have gone to the Seminaries. Having a membership of conservatives and radicals, many knotty problems are thrashed out, the discussion giving- all a broader grasp of the subject. Prominerrt ministers often drop in to direct the thoughts of the members along valuable lines. The purpose of the band primarily, is to attain sincere, four- square Christianity for themselves, and further their efficient preparation for work in Fields white with the Harvest. President Will Morrison Seminary Roll Warner Ayres Wilson Morrison Liddle Gillis Kelso Hastings Newcomb Acheson McKnight Ady Douglas Pollock Page One Hundred Twenty-nine Sabbath School Team Five men were sent from Monmouth College to Sabbath School work in various parts of the west last summer. They rendered such commendable service that articles and pictures of the men have since appeared in several of the church papers, and only words of praise were given for the serious interest in Home Mission and Sabbath School work taken by these men. This field is being developed in college life and, it is hoped, will soon be considered equal to the debating or ora- torical functions in the Student body ' s interest. Page One Hundred Thirty Inter-Collegiate Prohibition Association HE Inter-Collegiate Prohibition Association is an organization yet in its infancy in our college. The purpose of the Association is to educate college men and women in the great cause of temper- ance that they may help speed the day for Nation-wide prohibition. We have a membership of twenty-two and during the year were rep- resented at the National Prohibition Convention at Topeka, Kansas, bv Mr. Thomas Newcomb and at the State Convention by Mr. Cecil Wilson. On theii- return, reports were given before our Association and before the W. C. T. V. of this city ,who have very kindly given us some aid in a material way. During the vear we were visited bv the following field workers; Mr. Mclntvre, Neil D. Crammer, John L. Warner and E. G. Borton, National Secretary of the Inter-Collegiate Prohibition Association. The temperance work this year was done largely through the Chris- tian y ssociations apd Literary Societies of the College. A preliminary contest in oration was held to choose a representative for our state contest, Cecil Wilson, ' i8, winning the honors in this preliminary. The officers of the Association are as follows: President Myrtle E. Hastings Vice President George Warner Secretary-Treasurer Merle Harper Pace One Hundred Thirty-one Page One Hundred Thirty-two The Forensic League President Ralph White Secretary Albert Bell This is the balance wheel of Philo and Eccritean Societies. Though its meetings are irregular, yet they are usually for serious business when called. Some very good work has been done bv this rather inconspicuous but sturdv and necessary league. To it falls the responsibility of financing debates, ora- tion contests, and variovis college functions of like nature. As the years glide by and clubs, societies and bands come and go, this is the organization always ready, that can be depended upon to meet the difficult situations. The con- sciousness of work well done and power to do more gives the Forensic League true diginity. The Student Body President Robert Graham Secretary ' -Treasurer Clara Kongable Affairs directly pertaining to all the students of the college are either directly dealt with by the students themselves in their organization or through the medium of their representatives, the Student Council. Many occasions for public action come before the Student Body. Perhaps the most impor- tant can be considered its function of arousing enthusiasm for games and con- tests. It has lacked pep heretofore in supporting debates and oration con- tests but a big change is coming about lately in Monmouth College, ec[ual- izing the intellectual and physical in student life. Much of the credit for our great victories in both debate and in football and basketball should be at- tr ibuted to the splendid support of the Student Spirit. It is a potent force and should be guarded and built up and used for bringing about a greater and a better Monmouth College. Paee One Hundred Thirty-four Monmouth College Conservatory of Music ONMOL TH College Conseratory of Music holds a high place in the musical world. Through the efforts of Professor Austin and the other members of the faculty this department is steadily grow- ing in cjuantity and quality. Each year a large class is graduated in Piano and Voice and by their mvisic the Conservatory is made known throughout the country. Again its organizations tell the efficiency of its work. The Choral Society has given two concerts this 3 ear, both times ren- dering The Gate of Life , the second time in response to numerous recjuests of Monmouth people. The College Orchestra accompanied the Choral Society at both concerts and gave a number of beautiful selections alone. These are- examples of music as it is found in Monmouth College.

This clul) has been organized only one year, but the work has progressed rapidly under the instruction of Professor Hamilton, so that one might easil} ' think they had been singing together for a much longer time. This club has been heard only once during the vear and this in their joint concert with the men ' s club. However they left the audience anxiously waiting the opportunity of hearing them again. The personnel of tlie Ladies ' Club is as follows: First Sopranos — Nelle Porter, Ruth Tubbs, Margretta Gardiner, Ruth McConnell, Ethel Hamilton, Luva Lawrence, Marian McDowell. First Altos — L na De X ' innev, Lois Fowler, Mary Thome, Eunice Parr, P ' sther Craig. Second Sopram s — lulna Smitli, Clara Hardin, Gertrude Brown, Edna Hastings, Jean Young, Grace Martin.

An immense crowd greeted the clubs and spurred them on to their best efforts by applause. The soloists and quartets cannot be too highly commended. William Tell as presented by a number of the men was a unique and entertaining fea- ture of the program. It was a dramatic misrepresentation of the ancient Swiss tradi- tion concerning William Tell and was written especially for this occasion by Professor Thomas Hamilton, director of the clubs. To him the credit must be given for the suc- cess of the baby grand opera and the concert as a whole. PROGRAM 1.

Art Department Miss Nesbit ' s Art Department has existed in Monmouth College for three years and is steadily growing larger and more important. The success of this department is displayed by the great number of premiums taken at the Galesburg and Aledo Fairs. Three courses in art are offered to the students and people of Mon- mouth. China painting, and water colors, which have been established for two years and this vear a teachers ' training course in free hand drawing. The latter course has been added this year and has proven very popular with all students intending to teach. OCi IBty Page One Hundred Forty-eight The May Party lOR YEARS the girls of Monmouth College have kept up the cus- tom of the May Party, given to tiie Faculty and the young men of the College. The festivity of 19 14 was held May 26th, between the hours of six and eight. This year the management deviated slightlv from custom in choos- ing the cement platte in front of Wallace Hall rather than the Campus as the setting for the May Dance. The throne, decorated in green and white was placed at the top of the steps of Wallace Hall. The election by which the young men chose the Queen of the May from among the Senior girls, presented little difficulty this year, for the crown easily fell upon the head of Miss Helen Hartsock of Dayton, Ohio, whose queenly cjualities were recognized by all. The Queen was attended by Miss Alma Johnston. The procession started from the Library and approached , the cement platte by way of the main walks. While the dancers bowed on bended knee, the Queen was crowned by one of the small flower girls who attended her and took her place on the throne. The dances, unusually attractive and graceful, pleased a large crowd of spectators. The May Party closed with the usual May-pole Dance in which the green and white streamers were woven into the usual pretty figures. If possible, this ye ar ' s May Party was more beautiful than ever Pane One Hundred Forty-nil Page One Hundred Fifty Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. Reception The first social event of the school year is the joint reception given by the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. Both students and Faculty alike are sure to have a rousing good time. The reception given this vear was no exception to the rule. While every- one met everyone else, talk programs were filled out and the time spent in getting acquainted. The reception was such a success that even homesick Freshmen went home feeling that Monmouth was the right college for them. Faculty Reception The annual f?fculty reception was held in Wallace Hall just after the Christmas vacation ,on the evening of January the eighth. This year sev- eral former graduates furnished a pleasing entertainment. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Prugh and Mrs. George Vincent, always favorites with Monmouth College audiences, sang and Mr. Clyde McCoy gave a number of clever read- ings. Refreshments were served and the remainder of the evening spent in singing college songs. The Faculty Reception is always one of the most en- joyable functions of the college year. Page One Hundred Fifty-, The Opening of McMichael Home RIDAY, October the second was a red letter day for Monmouth Col- lege. Over two thousand alumni and friends came to see the open- ing of McMichael Home. The whole dormitory was open for in- spection, both afternoon and evening. For days, great preparations had been made. Everything was in perfect order and the girls had made their rooms as attractive as possible and decorated them with flowers. The guests first passed down the long receiving line consisting of Dr. and Mrs. McMichael, Miss Brownlee, Mr. Waid, the architect of the dorm- itory, ladies of the Advisory Board and the presidents of several college or- ganizations. The visitors were then conducted through the entire building by students who pointed out everything of interest from the gymnasium on the third floor to the huge potato masher in the kitchen. The spacious re- ception room with its fireplace and beautiful furnishings, the hospital suite, and the chafing dish room all attracted special attention. But the admiration of the guests reached its height, perhaps, when the kitchen and dining room were shown. The kitchen has many new labor saving devices, while the dining room is very large and sunny with beautifully tinted walls. The visitors were very enthusiastic over the dormitory and gave unstinted praise. But no one was prouder, happier or more grateful on opening day than the students themselves who feel that they alone can really appreciate McMichael Home. Page One Hundred Fifty-two Eccritean Peanut Night HE members of Eccritean Society held their Peanut Night Banquet on the evening of October thirty-first.

The faculty and all the classes except the juniors, who enjoy themselves in their own sweet way, hold bancjuets. The Freshman Banquet is the event of the young Freshmen ' s lives. This year ' s Freshman class agreed tliat their bancjuet was the most success- ful and sumptuous one ever held in Wallace Hall. The banquet room was artistically decorated with the class colors, purple and gold, and the tables were arranged in the form of the letter F . After the six course dinner an excellent toast program was given. The commander-in-chief, Ralph Doug- las, summoned his soldiers and called upon them for words of council and cheer for the long four years ' seige just well begun.

At six-thirty the members of the class gathered in the parlors of the hotel where they enjoyed a social hour and music. The party then moved to the dining room which was decorated in the class colors, green and white. After the sumptuous four course dinner a toast program which took the form of a basketball game was enjoyed.

By the time students are Juniors they have learned to be congenial and are not yet burdened with the dignity of Seniors. After careful consideration, the Juniors decided to have a chafing dish party. They gathered in the gym- nasium about eight o ' clock and entertained themselves with various games. A part of the refreshments were prepared in the chafing dishes. The Jun- iors went home feeling proud that formality and decorations w-ere not necessarv for their good time. Senior Banquet lb II NXIOUS to be well prepared to begin their fight with ffiy the stream of the world , the Seniors staged a sham ' 1 battle on Class Day. The parting from home was the occasion of a delicious farewell feast served in the gymnasium at high noon. Then the commander-in-chief, Robert Riddell, led his cohorts to the fields where the battle raged. The details follow.

Accordingly a crowd of gay masqueraders fountl their way to the dark side entrance of the dormitory and were there met bv a grim and forbidding figure of a witch who demanded an alibi of each guest and silently waved them down a dark stairway. Glimmering lights and ghostly figures with silent beckoning directed the paths of the masqueraders up one flight of steps and down another, but at last admitted them to the gymnasium where a witches ' caldron in the middle of the room shed a ghastly light over the weird gathering. During the course of the evening, the Hallowe ' en spirits were speeded awav, some to listen to ghost stories, others to search out that mysterious, unknown — the future. When the hour came for unmasking, the restless spirits joined in a last grand promenade before the puzzling iden- tities were disclosed. The ghostly spirits willingly returned to the earthly and gathered about the caldron to enjoy the refreshments. At an hour suf- ficiently early to avoid the midnight walk of the spirits, the town girls turned their backs on the dorm with a feeling of the heartiest appreciation of the dorm hostesses. The College Hop The year 1914-15 has been a year of progress for Monmouth College. The social life of the institution has, during this period, been put on a firmer and more democratic basis. Under the management of a committee composed of Estelle Jeffrey, Alma Johnston, Dora McFarland, Leland Turnbull and Jay Kelley, a College Hop was held on the evening of December fifth, in honor of the football men. The faculty and the student body responded al- most to a man. The evening ' s amusement was divided into two parts. The first part, the Hop Program was enjoyed by the student body en masse. The second part, Scrimmage , was made up of entertainments put on by the different classes. The Student Body Hop may from this time on be listed on the college calendar as an annual affair. Maple City Circus The Maple City Circus, the second student body affair, was advertised for some weeks before it at last arrived in Wallace Hall on the evening of April tenth. About eight o ' clock, the crowd collected around the main ring where performances soon began. The Hill Bill Family from Egypt, (Illi- nois) enjoyed their first circus and furnished amusement for others. It was noticed that some of the family resembled certain sophomores. The Seniors strikingly reproduced the Willard-Johnson conflict. Madame Saphrina and her Royal Court Entertainers were said to be freshmen. The juniors se- cured Monsieur Martinette and his troupe of Marvelous Monsters with almost human intelligence. Prof. Olmstead gave an exhibition of juggling. The last number was the distribution of relics from the North Pole presented by Cook and Peary which were very similar to our ice cream cones. The sec- ond student body social was a complete success and just such an affair as does much to promote good fellowship among the students. Page One Hundred Sixty-two The Junior-Senior Banquet HE Junior-Senior Banquet, the annual peace banquet between the once rival classes, was held May eleventh in Wallace Hall. All hostilities ceased and the classes met as friends. Contrary t(3 the usual custom, there was no toast program. Instead, Miss Rover of Galesburg gave a reading and the Sophomores consented to come gefore the limelight and present an amusing farce. Dainty bluebird decorations were used to grace the happy occasion. At the end of a pleasant evening, the worthy dig- nitaries parted as the best of allies.

Would that our predecessors had left such information. We feel that it would have saved us many mistakes, heartaches, and gray hairs. So we have come to the conclusion that we are contributing a real service to humanity which will go down through the ages as a tribute to ourselves in having these few words on the proper methods of getting out a Ravelings. FIRST.- — Begin early, at least two years, three months and 19 days be- fore you become a freshman, establish a correspondence system among the prospective members of your class. Elect your Editor and perhaps if all goes well you will be ready to start work by Christmas of your Junior year. SECOND — Make all the class members of your staff in order that you may do away with innumerable petty jealousies and avoid being accused of playing politics. Then select a committee of four and go to work and put out your Ravelings. You ' ll have to do it ultimately, so you may as well start early. THIRD. — Ecjuip vourself with the following: i double barrelled shot gun, 12 gauge; i Krag-Jorgensen, long range army rifle; i devil-may-care sleuth-foot photographer; 3 bottles of ink; 3 typewriters (borrowed if pos- sible) ; I Simpson-Stewart detective agency; i Ford; 40 barrels of nerve; 20 packages of M. C. examination paper ; i voluminous suitcase ; 50 extra cuts; I pull with the faculty; plenty of never-to-return-tickets. (most impor- tant). With these articles, you should be able to get your staff to do at least one per cent of what you want them to do. For your office, good dry goods ]:)oxes make excellent desks and you can usually borrow enough rugs, chairs, etc., from the Y. W. C. A. and ink bottles and waste baskets from Miss McKelvey. It is best to leave the shot gun and army rifles in charge of the editor-in- chief who will stay in the office. It also helps to keep out intruders although one great drawback to this is the fact that a shot gun makes the Ijlood spat- ter badly on the walls and floors. With these few suggestions, we cease, feeling that you of future college generations should be able to make the attempt at getting out a Ravelings. Matters of detail mav of course be worked out bv the individual editor. Paste One Hundred Sixty-i Election Returns Once again the poll of the Student Body has been taken and the bashful ones marked out for honor. Most of the contests were close. The Ravel- ings considers the returns very true to the actual facts. I. The Man who has Done the Most for Monmouth College. Fh ' st Place Doctor McMichael 2.

Bob Graham, the most popular man, won hands down, walking at the finish. Dave McMichael, followed the footsteps - nis- ' ..er in the second time getting the place on the ticket. Had more competitors this year than last. Philip McCutcheon, qualified and nosed out many competitors as the all round sport of the school. Dell Hardin, cinched the title Worst Fusser , without a struggle. Dell takes his fussin ' the ' most seriously of any guy in the college. Pip Hood loped away with the L.aziest man race in easy time. Hates work worse than anybody in the world. No rivals. Gladys Settle satisfied the universal judgement of the student bodv on the question of beauty. The prettiest girl in school. Clara Ivongable captured the place of the most popular girl after a close race. The closer race the greater victory. ■jMBIiJMBIi 1 1 1 %fT lS Dell Pip Gladys Clara Evelyn Evelyn Campbell also was unanimously elected for her old position this year. But she has rivals for this coveted honor and had better look out next year. , Miss Brownlee w?s iudged the worst criminal in the dormitory. Heaviest vote polled t ' b.vr. girls who had been caught in misdeeds and wanted revenge. Beth Newcomli won oyer several competitors as the most law aliiding girl in the Dorm. We have no reason to Cjuestion the decision. Katherine Stewart just naturally walked away with her place. With- out one dissenting vote she was acknowledged the best talking machine.

And wish he ' d make eating his hobby. Our History Professor is Shilling, His jokes are undoubtedly killing. But all of his classes Are slow as molasses. Though his tests are sufficiently thrilling. There was a young student named Dyer, To Tje cute was his greatest desire. To a circus in town, He hired as a clown. And his rep went higher and higher. There was a young dandy named Bruce, In his dress he was awfully spruce. He ' s a shark at lawn tennis But at French his name ' s Dennis, And his framework is more or less loose. For a picture of Smiley please look, In the very front part of this book, And the way he can fuss Makes the other boys cuss, When all the girls fall for this crook. This introduces Mid Currier The only one thing that can worry her Is the fellow named Gail, Who makes her look pale. For he ' s the one guv that can hurrv her. For mentioning Miss Clara Hardin We wish to beg everyone ' s pardon. If she dearly loves Nick, There ' s no one will kick, For it mav be a weddin ' thev ' re startin ' Page One Hundred Eighty Bum Limericks continued There is a young student named Fort, Ruth says he ' s a right good sport, When he has a date. If it ' s not too late. He takes his girl to the Cort. ' Tvvas on a fine Sunday eve, When the dates did forceably leave, Doc. said ' twas a sin. To try to fudge in, And that to the rules thev must cleave. If these lines are not to your taste, In crabbing, your time do not waste. If perchance they should pinch. Be sure it ' s no cinch. To grind out such stuff in dire haste. The Victors Papre One Hundred Ei rhty-one Page One Hundred Eighty-two Page One Hundred EiRhty-thr Students ' Bible Come now, ye flunkers, weep and howl, for your miseries that are com- ing upon you ; ye have laid up your treasure in the last day — Miss Winbiglcr. Blessed is our blackeyed Mary for she shall be called ' White ' . How long wilt thou slumber, oh sluggard? Yea, even unto 7:43 a. m. — The late J. R. Gettemy. Forget not to show love unto strangers, for thereby some have enter- tained angels unawares. — Coach Ghormley on Track Meet Day. The plans of the heart belongeth unto man but the answer of the tongue is of woman. — Philip McCiitcheon. Let your speech be always with Grace. — Dave McMichael. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall save the Seniors. Blessed are the full of head, for they shall pass the finals. Blessed are the meek, for them shall the faculty love and them only. Blessed are you when the faculty shall ' can ' you, for so persecuted they the students that were before you. College Etiquette onlv Strolling may continue until 10:14 p. m. in frequented places. This college shall a ' Ford ' no auto rides unless properly chaperoned. All informal dances must close at mid-night and they shall be held on open nights or before holidavs. Dates with one girl are limited to eight a week. Gentlemen are not allowed to call for dates before seven thirty. Girls shall keep gentlemen callers waiting at least twenty minutes. It shall not be etiquette for a college girl to feed a man caller on candy sent her by another. College women shall not make more than two dates for the same night. Girls shall not exchange beaux without the consent of the men. These rules have been adopted by an overwhelming majority. Flunko, flunkere, flunk again, faculty firus. Bill Story may have been some pumpkins in High School, but in College he sure is a perfect bean. Page One Hundred EiRhty-fo Page One Hundred Eighty-tiv Page One Hundred Eighty-i The Daily Service Daily, just a little before the never-run-on-time clock in the students ' - sit-in-the-balcony Second Church says it is time to pass the buy-it-by-the-barrel gravy over at the feed-a-million-students Sloats Club, old get-hit-vvith-eggs Sam rings the bell and never-sweat Hamilton blows the whistle. Then the study-tao-hard students all go down the donated-by-the-Class-of-1904 walk to the all-covered-with-vines-auditorium and prepare themselves for the come- every-day-regular service. Then old never-get-there-on-time Austin comes up from the down-in-the-cellar studio by means of the one-at-a-time stairs and takes his place at the always-being-torn-up organ and sounds some nothing- like-music chords. The always-doing-something-they shouldn ' t students take their respectful seats and the hope-it-is ' soon-over meeting takes its start. Gradually the get-there-any-time faculty takes its place on the raised-up- where-they-can-see platform and Doctor announces in his ought-to-do-our- duty voice the first number in the isn ' t-very-many song books. The few that wish they could sing find the place in the seperate-leaf-addition song books and after let-the-ladies-sing Austin has given the alkready-to-start chord they get up and arrange themselves in the most comfortable manner. The sit-in- the- Junior-section Choral Society leads in this generally-number-42 song. Af- ter the first verse Mr. Wonder-what ' s-the-matter-with-it Austin announces in a high tenor voice that we will all sing the tune. Here the same got-the-big- bne-beat Choral Soci ' ety shines, assisted by the getting-started-right Freshman class. Then there is the usual reading and praver, during wliich all bow their heads but Austin. Then we get another song in the just-about- worn-out song books that rest in the broken-all-to-pieces racks. This time the self-govern- ment-advocating student sits on the never-have-been-dusted seats and the wish- we-had-the-honor-system freshmen take charge of the singing. Then it is announced that the book-dropping-foot-shuf fling- watch- winding-nose-blowing student body and that the about-five-hundred-dollars-in-the-hole literary so- cieties will have meetings. At the student body meeting Mr. Hasn ' t-given-his annuakreport-yet Graham presides and gets the necessary business transacted. The literary societies try to get enough together to do some-of-their-ought-to- be-done business and we depart to our various get-all-you-can-grab dinners, happy that this have-to-come-back-again-tomorrow meeting is again over. Wise Sayings How has Shennefelt when he sees Cotton batting? It ' s a wise man that knows his own shirt when it comes from the Mon- mouth Laundry. — Stine A girl in town is worth six in the Dorm. — Nichol. McClcary, Warfield, and Kelly. If Lulu was fond of the Marsh, would Irene Joiner? If Clint can carry twelve hours work, how mucii can Esther Curry? Don ' t worry, all women are like street cars ; these ' s always another one along in a minute. — Townslcy. He that falleth in love with himself shall have no rivals. . .SinipsoJi.

Monmouth College is no exception. It was sometime in the early part of the year 1852 that Rev. Robert Ross of South Henderson and Rev. J. C. Porter of Cedar Creek had a vision. To which of them it appeared first is not known but the vision was one and the same ; an institution of higher grade than the public schools of the state, situated in the midst of the rich prairies of western Illinois. It did not take the form of a university nor at first even that of a college but the modest title of High School, grammar school or academy. The vision took tangible form October eleventh of the same year when the matter was laid before the Presbytery of the Associate Reformed, now the United Presbyterian Church. In November, 1853, the new institution was opened as an academy. This was Monmouth College in embryo. The evo- lution was rapid. After two years steps were taken to raise the academy to the rank of college. In January, 1856, the Board of Trustees elected a faculty consisting of Rev. David A. Wallace, President; Rev. J. R. Brown, Professor of Languages, and Rev. Marion Morrison, Professor of Mathe- matics. On the first Monday of September, 1856, Monmo ' ith College was opened for the reception of students and in February of the following year was granted its charter. The real history of a college is bound up with the lives of the men wiio have guided its course and administered its affairs. For twenty-two years Dr. David A. Wallace continued president of the young and struggling insti- tution. Largely through his influence the foundations were laid and the ideals fixed. It was well for Monmouth College that in these early plastic years, the critical period, that the master mind and rugged personality of Wallace was at the head to shape her future. Dr. Wallace was not only a man of affairs but an educator ranking second to none in the great and growing Middle West. It was a noble band of leaders at that time : Edwards, Blan- chard, Bateman, Wallace. Following Dr. Wallace, Dr. J. B. McMichael filled the position of President for nineteen years. If Wallace was the Founder. Dr. McMichael was the first of the Builders. Debts were paid, new buildings added, a fuller equipment provided and an endowment fund was History of Monmouth College continued built up. Under Dr. S. R. Lyons ' administration, a large increase of endow- ment was secured and the course of instruction was enlarged. The fourth and present President, Dr. T. H. McMichael, son of the former executive, has been the efficient head of the college for the past eleven years. If you, reader, want visible proofs of this, go on the campus and look about you, examine the accounts of the treasurer ' s office, open the catalogue and study the courses of instruction ; note the advance along all these lines and the bright promise for the future. Monmouth ' s ideal is the high grade small college. To the question. What is education, Monmouth ' s answer from the first has been, a three-fold de- velopment of body, mind and spirit. Physical and mental culture equal to any, with distinct emphasis on the development of the moral sense and con- science. The doctrine of first things first is accepted as holding true in education as in other things. In Monmouth ' s creed it is boldly written, Character first, The highest culture for man ' s highest nature. Not ashamed of the title, Christian College , Monmouth will not change, blot out or in any wa} conceal that title. It is literally true that the sun never sets on the graduates of Monmouth College. In the states, from New York to California, in Japan, China, India, Egypt and the Sudan, there, as elsewhere, you will find them. They are found in most of the professions and business of life. Many are leaders in high positions. But whether in exalted or humble stations in ' ife the children of Monmouth College reflect honor on their Alma Mater. Fifteen hundred and sixty-three have graduated and fifteen thousand in all have been students for a longer or shorter period. The recent reorganization of the Alumni and ex-students promises more efficient support than heretofore. Behold the college of the future, strong mother of a mighty race, rejoicing in the power of maturity and in the blessing of a mighty offspring.

PaKC Two Hundred Nil M Mtmttvmm. MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON GRAHAM Born January 6, 1851 Died October 27, 1914 Page Two Hundred Ten Hon. Delos Porter Phelps, ' 62 During- the past year the college lost one of her oldest and ablest alumni, the Hon. Delos P. Phelps of Chicag-o. He was born near Monmouth in 1837, received his education at Monmouth College and practiced law in Monmouth with great ability for a number of years. With the late William Hanna, he built the Iowa Central railroad and en- gaged in other extensive business enterprises. In 1870 he married Miss Sarah Jean- nette Tucker of Monmouth, a woman of unusual beauty and charm, who died several years ago. He was chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee in 1892, when Cleveland carried the State and was elected President. In 1894 he was made Assistant Treasurer of the United States at Chicago. Here he spent his later years and practiced his profession. His life came to a close June 28th, 1914. Such is a brief outline of a life of exceptional ability and activity, but it gives no idea of the able, aggressive lawyer who threw himself heart and soul into the cause of his client; of the courageous man of affairs who dreamed of large enterprises, and then with vigor and determination strove to make the dreams realities; of the political leader ready to battle for his party ' s success and the principles he believed in; of the lover of books who had at his instant command the finest passages of English poetry and prose; of the kindly, companionable, courteous gentleman who cared for his friends and associates and was deeply devoted to his family. These leave memories and influences which abide longer even than storied urn or the inscription committed to the marble ' s snowy whiteness. Hugh T.Martin, ' 03.
