However, I am persuaded that when the annals of this age are written, names now found upon the Senior Class roll will stand out pre-eminent among the world ' s great men. Our brilliant career as a class started four years ago when we won the pole scrap from our supposed superiors, the Sophomores. This was only the beginning of our achievements. Since that time we have sent leaders into every avenue of student activity. Monmouth College would never have held the place which she does in the athletic world had it not been for the athletes in our class. On the platform we have been equally well repre- sented and it has been a matter of comment that one class should have so many star debaters. In art, music and literary work we have not been ex- celled by any other class. The Nineteen Sixteen Ravelings, whicli we published, speaks for itself. In deed it is not often that such cjuantity and ((uality are found combined in one class. Now the time has come for us to leave this school behind and enter the larger school of the world. In memory we will always cherish these years together, not alcme for the knowledge we have gained, but far more for the friendships we have formed. — Clara Hardin. 19 ■fia S - ' ULI-NOt? 17 Page Thirty-i BESS ANDERSON, A.

And our days in Monmouth are over, days full of rollicking play, And our trunks have gone down to the station, and our rooms are dismanteled and bare — We shall long for the songs in the evening and a pipe in a deep Morris chair. And the fights and smashing rough-houses will be but fond dreams of the past ; All our hardships will seem robed in glory when we we think that this is our last. When last summer made us all Seniors, with light hearts we welcomed it then, But now that it ' s past and ended — why can ' t we start over again ? -Ji. Junior Class History I AIL, CLASS of ' 17 ! The wheel of fortune had turned and we drifted to Monmouth College. We don ' t know why. Guess we just come . No class ever entered the portals of Monmouth College with bet- ter prospects or higher ideals ! Our presence seemed to be appreciated by the old students, for night after night we were fairly dragged out to social gath- erings at the Country Club or Cemetery given especially in our honor. Our sympathy for the Sophs causes us to hasten over the pole scrap, for as we marched triumphantly home, we left them dazed and wondering how it had all happened, yet with a new respect for the verdant Freshies. Our bancjuet was a success in spite of the efforts of ' 16 to make it otherwise. But time is too scarce and life too short to give a minute account of what we did that year. We admit we suffered somewhat from the usual Freshman malady, but convalesced so rapidly that some of us were mis- taken for Seniors the very next year. As Sophs at the annual class scrap, we bowed our heads, but not our hearts to defeat. We were outnumbered, not out generaled; defeated, not conquered. At the time we sorrowed, but now we realize that it one ' s de- feats not one ' s ictories, which show him the path to success. We have achieved success in footljall, basel all and basketball as well as debate. We have been called the Ford class. One seemed to have served its purpose well, for the Freshman President took an unexpected ride into the country, February 22nd, 191 5, and returned mysteriously through the mud and rain, hatless and disheveled, at a late hour. We conducted one successful funeral for the Seniors of ' 15 in the Audi- torium, in spite of Sam ' s eagle eye, and hung them in effigy in a tree nearby. But whv should we speak further of our glorious past for actions speak louder than words . If you would know the secret of our success, read this little verse. The heights of great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight. But they while their companions slept Were toiling upward through the night. — LiDA Work. r% ' 9 -- ' VEL.I-Ni -- LIDA WORK Fort Morgan, Colo. Jane Lida doesn ' t have a thing on earth to do ; she is a lady of leisure. She is merely class president, toast mistress of the Jun- ior-Senior Banquet, a department editor of the Ravelings; a good student and ev- erybody ' s friend. Incidentally she likes wise finds time for dates. God bless the ladies! . .Arc tlicy all in love? — Love ' s Labours Lost. CLARENCE BRITTON J ' iola Brit Clarence is our real live dude. Isn ' t he just like a prince out of a fairy book? He is equally at home on the stage and in the class room, being both an actor and de- bater of note.

HELEN MILNE Monmouth Dearie Mis s Milne has more dates than the sum total of all the rest of the Juniors. Ev- ery time we see Wilmuth he is with her or just going after her. And her bou- quets are too numerous to mention ! She has the ability to bluff the Profs into thinking she has studied. She is pretty to 7 ' alk -n ' ith, And icitty to talk i -ith. And pleasant to think on. — Suckling ■ ' - JELIIMG ' ' j -- JOHN BALDRIDGE Des Moines, Iowa BalJv John is the most rushed to death man in in school. We were awfully proud ()f him in the Junior Class play. He is like- wise sort of connected with this Annual, he being Editor-in-Chief — as it were, not a private in the army.

He finds the joys of hea: ' ' n here on earth ■ — Shakes eare MARY KATHERINE BLATT Eha ' ood Mamie We hereby wish to express to Miss Mamie Blatt, beloved classmate, our deepest sym- pathy for her in her time of sorrow and tribulation.

She is prompt and thorough Her work is always up to standard ant! she has time left for pleasure. Slie didn ' t divulge her aim in life. Be to her z ' irtiies z ' cry kiinl. Be to her faults a little blind. — Prios FRED CAMP Brooklyn Doc We seldom see Fred around school. He believes in wasting as little time as pos- sible in school work. He used to be Miss Barr ' s favorite German student — at least he was called on very often. But now his interests seem to lie outside M. C. ( ( not fall in love; I rose in love. —Bulwer GERTRUDE CLARK Ottozva, Kans. Triidie We have one Junior who always studies her lessons, who never skips class nor misse s chapel. She is studious to the proper degree and also attentive. But she may be relied upon to do her share of the getting ready for class stunts too.

He never flunks on a test. He is a per- sonal friend of every instructor. He is so modest and retiring that we can ' t even find a joke on him. He shuns the girls. ••Oh be thou blessed icith all that Heaven ean send; Long health, long youth, long pleasure — and a friend. — Po[ e ISAL B. ECKLEY Aloniiioutli • ' Isal B. Three years ago this midget entered M. C. and now she stands assistant editor of our Ravelings. She is noted for just getting out of one difficulty and into another. They say she intends to make the right man happy. Company, I ' mainous company, hath been the spoil of me. ERNEST HAYS Monmouth Ernie Ernie is the editor of next year ' s Oracle so you can all count on a good, live paper. He is a fine business man.

Our ability was as great as our numbers, and it was soon manifested through the physical, mental, social and religious activities of the College. After a few preliminary events of minor importance, with the High Tribunal and some of the upper classmen, we demonstrated our ability to hold our own in the field of physical activities by subduing the Sophomores in the Pole Scrap. This year the Freshmen were unable to touch our colors, so for two years the purple and gold has waved from the top of the scrap pole at the end of the struggle, proclaiming victory for the Class of ' 18. W ' e have come through six inter-class athletic contests undefeated, which is an un- usual record. We have not only been successful in class athletics, but many of our men have won places on the College teams, and are adding strength to every line of athletics. Of the eight men who represented Monmouth at the Drake Relay Meet, five were members of our class. We do not boast of our athletic achievements, but are glad that we can help put out winning teams to represent our College. In the so-called mental activities of the College, we have nothing to be ashamed of. Our scholastic record may be weak in certain places, but it will compare with the best that Monmouth College has ever produced. The Col- lege orators, declaimers and debaters of the next two years will undoubted!}- come from our ranks. ' e had one man on the Debate team this year, and have been ably represented in various oratorical contests. The Glee Club and Band have also recruited members from our number. Our two artists have furnished all the cartoons for the Oracle and . nnual the past twi) years, and their work has been enjoyed by all. The social activities of the college have not been suffering from lack of support from our class. We are as much at home in polite society as we are on the campus. The grace of the girls and the manly bearing of the boys makes us nonpariel in social circles. Our class functions are well attended and the spirit of fellowship and co-operation, is very marked. We have nor always had smooth sailing however, for at various times, either as individ- uals or a class, we have attempted to cross the current of authority, only to be caught by the undertow and set adrift or continue in our natural course minus some privileges or credits. The limit of our space has been reached, we are sorry that some facts had to be omitted, but who will deny that we occupy first place in the majori- ty of activities of Monmouth College. As our last year ' s Historian said, We ' ve quantity and quality, to bring our class through any kind of weather. So let us then be up and doing. With a heart for any fate. Still achieving; still pursuing. Learn to labor and to wait. — Ch.xrles Ghor.mlEv - ELITaO.- - Freshman Class Roll Abraham, Richard AlHson, Raymond Anderson. By ford Ashenhurst. John W.

Green we may have been but not with an external verdure that is the proverbial subject of ridicule. Ours was merely of an intellectual nature marking the immaturity of our minds which will be ripened by our four years ' training here. We have shown ourselves to have great possibilities. Our only re- gret is that our number was not sufficiently large to show our opponents their proper place in the pole scrap, but naturally the victory was the result ot overwhelming numbers. In every line of activity we have taken an impor- tant part. Our green caps, worn to distinguish us from upper classmen, were a tribute to our intellectual appearance and ability. Socially, we ha e also reached a position well in the van of progress. Se eral parties and re- ceptions, as well as our class banquet, have furnished us with entertainment of a wholesome nature throughout the year. In the athletic world we have certainly achieved a place. Three of our number received the football M and our representative on the basketball team was a star of the first magnitude. In inter-class contests we have also been an important factor, while in baseball and track work our representa- tives rank with the best. We might mention other activities Init the future will give these greater prominence. Musicians and speakers we have in abundance who will be able and willing to receive the mantle of the retiring students and do their best for the honor of old M. C. Our history has but begun and the past ' s but the prophecy of greater deeds to be achieved in future years. — LYLE CRAIG ATHLETICS HE ATHLETIC ilepartnient is no small part of the nicKlern ct.llege and when the college teams have a successful season the school has a just right to point to it with pride. In general such was the past season to Monmouth. Of course we have not won every contest in which we were entered but we have made a very creditable showing. Our base- ball team was not particularly strcmg this last season yet the boys played a consistent game and leave a record behind them that, while not reflecting great honor upon them, still leaves nothing that they need be ashamed of. Our football and basketball teams have played a clean conservative game and in the majority of cases have carried off the larger end of the score. In ten- nis this last year we show a decided decline over the previous year in the num- ber of matches played but the score of those that were played is very satisfac- tory. In general the college feels that the boys have made a very creditable showing. We are proud of the boys who represented us and did not win their letters. They gave us all they had and that is all that can be asked of any man. To those who won their letters we have nothing but words of praise and to our coaches nothing but expressions of gratitude for what they have done for us.

Fort FOOtteill Jb iO ' Ay-F EL.I1N - r j i Q ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' % : i j ' f G Foot Ball Review OR THE second successive year Monmouth College holds the foot- ball championship of the Little Five Conference, and also for the second successive year has as good a claim to the state title as any other college. Monmouth won the Little Five championship this year by decisively defeating Lake Forest 24 to o. Three Illinois colleges were met and each was held scoreless. The largest squad in the history of the institution reported for practice at the beginning of the season. This gave material for a strong second team which always gave the first team men hard scrimmage and keen competi- tion for positions. This meant a great deal in the team ' s success for the men went into a game in excellent condition and played hard, clean, consis- tent football all season. The team always finished the game strong and never stopped fighting. Monmouth took time out seven times during the season, which shows the condition of the men. In the Lake Forest game not a single substitution was made. The score by quarters ran 40, 39, 41, 4 . respectively, which shows the steady playing of the team. The team was well balanced both offensively and defensively, scoring a total of 164 points and holding their opponents to 33 points. In six out of eight games the oppo- nents were held scoreless. Captain Turnbull and Raymond proved to be the heavy scorers, the former scoring 48 points and the latter 44 points. Turnbull scored most of his points on forwad passes. He is strong on receiving long forward passes and will be missed in this department of the game next year as he graduates this spring. Raymond not only carries the ball, but his toe is sure, as shown by the fact that he missed but one try for goal after touchdown during the whole season. Both Ghormley and McCleary proved strong tackles, both offensively and defensively. Both were hard, fast chargers, good at breaking up plays and tackling, and both carried the ball for good gains. Eddy, Mc- Connell and Fackler are three men who graduate this year who have been big factors in the two championship teams of the last two years. They are hard, fast, dependable players. Kelly has played his last conference game and has been a valuable man on the team. He is speedy and an excellent open field runner, and can be counted on to advance the ball. The other members of the team while not having the experience of those mentioned above have shown their merit and had their part in winning the honors of the season, all of them have two and three years more to play on Monmoutli teams. Wray, Rankin. Gillis, Waldon, Reed, Ouinby and Oliver Turnbull complete the team. The season closed this year with the Home Coming game on Thank--- giving Day with Ripon College. A large number of old football men gatli- ered at the M Club banquet that evening. One noticeable feature of the gathering was the presence of seven former captains. Next fall we meet Knox at the Annual Home Coming on Thanksgiving Day, and we hope that another championship can be celebrated at that time. lo ■ .

With Ghormley as running mate our tackle positions were strong. McCleary was one of the hardest workers on the scjuad and a tower of strength botli on defense and offense. With another year yet before him, Mac should set an enviable record for his successor. EDDY Henry Eddy was a two year man playing end opposite Capt. Turnbull. His offensive work was very commendable and his smashing of interference was a big asset on Monmouth ' s line. He was a sure, hard tackier and never gave up, but played till the whistle blew. His absence will be felt and great- ly regretted. McCONNELL McConnell was one of the hardest fighters on the team. Time after time his 150 pounds stopped the rushes of a much heavier man. He was a hard and consistent worker and always could be depended upon for a gain. His ability to back up the line on defense was a feature of his playing and his tackling was always sure. McConnell will be missed from the team next fall. -4y£ j-i o -- FACKLER Harry Fackler as played three years on the team as guard. The Swede is a hard worker, a sure tackier, and never failed when called upon to open a hole. His experience made him invaluable in sizing up plays and breaking them up. He was probably the hardest, fastest charger seen on the home field this year and it will be difficult to find a man to fill his shoes next fall. TURNBULL Capt. Lee Turnbull played his third and last year for Monmouth at right end. He was a most valuable man owing to his ability to grab for- ward passes and the touchdowns which resulted from these made a large portion of the team ' s points. He was also good carrying the ball on end runs and on defense was chief stumbling block for the opponents ' inter- ference. His absence will be greatly f lt next year and his position difficulf to fill. WRAY Rex is a fast and shifty little player. What he lacks in size he makes up in speed. His ability to run with the ball made him one of the most valu- able men on the squad. He runs his team well. He has two more years to play and will doubtless look good as quarter on the team next season. KELLY Harold ' s strong point was carrying the ball. His long end runs and his faculty of grabbing forward passes could always be counted upon to ad- vance the ball. He was a hard man to tackle and with his speed was one of the best ground gainers on the team His spectacular runs were the delight of the fans. Kelly has been a valuable man and his place at half will be hard to fill. RAYMOND Captain elect, Orville Raymond finished his second year at left half back, playing the l)est offensive game of the season. He has the honor of scoring the most pt)ints from touchdowns besides locating several neat field goals. He did the place kicking exclusively. His forward passing from punt formation is above the average. His returning of punts was no small item to his credit and on defense never failed to produce the required gains. His natural ability coupled with his experience should make Bugs an ex- ceptionally good leader for next year. GHORMLEY Charles Ghormley was again placed at tackle, the position which he had so well filled. He was picked by many critics on the all-state eleven, failing to meet his equal all year. On tackle around plays his gains were most consistent. Defensively his favorite performance was breaking through and and stopping the play before it reached the line of scrimmage. We should be lia])pv to know he has two more years of service in Monmouth ' s athletics. fi, ' ' - -- TURN BULL Oliver Turnbull, a first year man, took part in the majority of the games. An injured shoulder at the first of the season was a difficult handi- cap to overcome. His steady, hard work will make him among the best and we expect big things from Ollie in the remaining years of his football career. WALDON Waldon vvt)n his place on the team by his ability to boot the ball. Al- though he was forced to be out of the game for a part of the season by an injured ankle, he easily made his position at guard and was a factor in mak- ing the line a stone wall. GILLIS Bruce Gillis, although a Sophomore, was a new man on the team filling the guard position. His lack of experience was somewhat of a handicap but his willingness to work and study the game will make him one of the strong men in the line. He succeeded in blocking several punts during this season and was responsible for many of the openings made in the opponents ' lines. REED Howard Reed, one of the three Freshmen who made good this year, was regarded largely as utility man, playing at all positions in the back-field and at times holding down the end position. Bill is a speedy man and with his experience gained this past season shcxild prove to be of real worth on the next year ' s eleven. OUINBY Ivory could always be depended upon to make accurate passes. On de- fensive he was a fiend for breaking up plays of the opponents. Although handicapped early in the season with a wrenched knee, yet he ably filled the center position in every game which he played. Ouinby has two more years of college football. RANKIN Drue Rankin, after two years absence from school, again reported this fall. His position was that of utility man. He was without doubt the most efficient on the scjuad at taking off his man and tackling. During Ouin- by ' s injury he played center position doing justice to himself and the team, although he had never played that position before. It is hoped his return next year will be possible.

We were unable to get as many meets as we had hoped but in the Knox and Confer- ence meets the team was given an opportunity to show their train- ing and fighting spirit. Our first meet was a Handicap with Monmouth High School. In this meet we won by a score of 60 to 39. On the next Sat- urday we met Burlington High. They were stronger in the mile, but in other events the Monmouth men showed superior ability. These two meets were forerunners of our meet with Knox, held May 15, on our field. Knox was strongest in the mile and 440 and in the field events. In thjs meet our men showed themselves off in fine shape, defeating our ri- vals by a score of 67 to 59. On May 21 the team left fur Chicago to take part in the Conference meet, held under the auspices of Armour Institute. The meet was held on Northwestern U ' s. field at Evanston. It was here that our men showed real speed and the result of hard work. Out of the sixteen gold medals awarded Monmouth took ten, with two silver and one bronze. We found some stiff competition, but although no Conference records were broken. Monmouth ' s time received a shock. Gabby ran a steady race in the 880 in 2 125 12-5 and Kelly lowered the century dash to :io flat. Ghormley and Denniston took first and second in the low hurdles and Turnbull out jumped all comers, taking first at 20 feet 1 1 inches. Besides the medals our track team returned with the Relay Cup and the cup for the winner. Most of our men are under- classmen, losing Denniston and Stewart, and our hopes are for another championship team next spring. 1916 Track Schedule April 15 — Interclass Meet.

All the events were run off in good time and several previous records were broken. The meet was held under the direction of Coach Ghormley and a good deal of credit is due him and the M Club for the manner in which the various events were run off. Fifteen schools participated and the competition in every event was keen. At the close of the meet it was seen that Kewanee had the highest score, while Bridgeford of Joy carried off the individual honors. There were four new records set.

The first of all there is Gym. — that tiresome bore or jolly good friend, as the case may be which holds an important place in girl ' s athletics. It is truly wonderful to see the grace and beauty developed by the Powder Box , the Full Knee Bend, the Bi- cycle , the Merry-go-round and the Rocking Horse. Numerous hikes have been taken throughout the year and those weak willed individuals who have yielded to the temptation of riding back to town when they have met their friends with automobiles five miles out in the country, have received due scorn from their fellow hikers. In the winter basketball was a very [jopular s])ort and two very efficient teams were organized under Miss McMillan ' s splendid coaching. The First Team which was composed of Nancy Wallace, Gail Patterson, Birdena Ander- son, Mary McClellan and Ann Wanner, placed the Camp Fire Girls and the Monmouth High School team, defeating both. The second team made up of Hortense Law, Gailene Finley, Wilda Law, Gladys Patterson, and Evelyn McCain, gave the first team some good practice work and substituted in the regular games. Since almost all of these girls are under classmen, we can expect great things from Girls ' Basketball ne.xt year. Miss Mary Ann McMillan has been the most efficient Physical Director during the past year and she has had the guiding hand in all phases of Girls ' Athletics. She has not limited her work to the Gym class but has more than once instructed the girls- how to perform some very amusing gymnastic feats in the living room. Miss McMillan has in fact made Gymnasium work so popular that many of the girls have chosen to earn a credit doing the arm and foot work and tossing little balls rather than by reading works of philosophy. So in closing let us pay a tribute to Monmouth College Athletics which center around the Dorm and may gym classes, basketball, tennis and hikes at- tain to a much greater development in the future. i9 AVsjLs-HO ' ' ' ' T?

Lhider the direction of Coach Shrenk and Captain McMichael the boys came out wonderfully and while it was not a winning team, still they showed up well. Of the nine games that were played the boys carried off four. By runs our bovs had forty-six to the opponents thirty-nine while their batting a ' erage was 244 which is good for college players. Shrenk did most of the pitching and it was were al)le to show up as well as they did.

Basket Ball Review Page One Hundred One HE BASKETBALL season of 1915-16 shows the heaviest sched- ule played by a Monmouth team in a number of years. A total of 23 games were played, 17 of them being with college teams and the others with strong Y. M. C. A. and Independent teams of Iowa and Illinois. Monmouth won 11 of the total games played and 9 of the 17 college teams played. The final conference standing shows Monmouth in fourth place, win- ning two out of six games. We lost to Lake Forest in two games and broke even with Armour and Knox. While we cannot say that the season was the most successful, the team deserves credit for the work done and the results shown, as several handicaps were encountered during the season. Two trips were taken during the Christ- mas holidays to Chicago and Iowa, and five practice games were played which gave the men some experience, and started the team work for the first games of the season. We started the season with only two of last year ' s team, Mc- Michael and McConnell. Smeby entered the second semester and played the last part of the season. We won from Knox and Armour in the early part of the season and prospects looked first rate for a winning team, but Ghormley, who had been playing a good game at center was compelled to quit the game, and Captain McMichael suffered an injury to his elbow which kept him out of the game for two weeks and slowed him up considerably the remainder of the season. With the loss of two regulars in the middle of the season, the team had to be reorganized and was somewhat handicapped the remainder of the season, however, the men were going well at the last of the season and staged a spectacular game against Knox, losing by the close score of 38 to 35. Van Pelt led in the scoring department with 230 points in 22 games, Smeby followed second with 102 points in 12 games. These two men played forwards and did the heavy end of the scoring. Both have an eye for the basket. Robert Wilson played forward in 13 games. Ghormley and Ady filled the center position and McMichael, McConnell, Moffett and Britton held down the guard positions. McMichael and McConnell will be lost by graduation this year. Page One Hundred Two .

There were eight contestants entered ; all of them the pick of their respective schools. Each presented his subject in a pleasing and con- vincing manner but when the contest was over there were but two men who stood out in the judges ' minds and needless to say one of them was Mon- mouth ' s orator — Lawrence Teare. His subject was America and the Immi- grant Problem and his manner of developing it was both original and con- vincing, but fate seemed against us for the decision went to the other man. We are proud of our orator, however, and our biggest regret is that he has not another year to represent us. lO ■ I L IT ' Page One Hundred Seven Prohibition League Oratorical Contest For the first time Monmouth has had the honor of having the Prohi- bition League ' s Contest held here. The orations were all interesting and well developed but the judges could not see fit to allow the decision to rest with the Monmouth representative. Mr. Pollock acquitted himself with honor and presented his oration in a delightful manner. j Tiy 45 E|__ j oS - i F Page One Hundred Eight Review of Debate Season Prof. A. Axdrews HERE are six reasons why Monmouth won two more debates in 191 5. They are, C. French, R. Teare, McConnell, L. Teare, Brit- ton, and J. French. Since individual write-ups are in vogue in the athletic world, let us dbserve that this is also possible in the field of debate. Carroll French has led teams that have received four unanimous de- cisions, and this is a record of which he may be justly proud. While not excelling in organizing material, his manner of presentation is most persua- sive. In this regard, I think I have not heard his ec|ual. Harold McConnell has been on three winning ci)llege debates and one Sophomore debate. He is strong both in the preparation of argument, and forcefulness of deli ery. In rebutal he has proved his wcirth. Robert Teare in at least one respect was the most valuable man on either team. Bob is a bear for facts. In preparing the line of argument to be adopted, his knowledge of the subject has been indespensible. He is a man who knows whereof he speaks , and will I)e heard from later on. Lawrence Teare pro ed that he is gifted in the field of debate as well as oratory. While having a well organized speech his delivery stood out promi- nently. Clarence Britton made fine imi)ro ement during the training season. His presentation of the first affirmative was pleasing anil effective. He will be a powerful man next year. John French, making the team as a Sophomore, will win many debates for Monmouth. He has fine spirit, and a great cajiacitx- for work. 1 con- sider this a high compliment. Hats off to the debaters. In three years we have taken seven out of eight debates, and twenty out of twenty-four judges. i 9 - -4V-eli-mGS ' - Page One Hundred Tribute to Coach Andrews TB lONMOUTH is to lusc this year one of her most pop- ular professors. In the resignation of the head of the Department of Oratory a vacancy is left which it will be hard to fill. Our genial public speaking professor has a host of friends who will sincerely regret his aljsence from the faculty roster. Under Mr. Andrew ' s efficient management the depart- ment of Public Speaking has made great strides during the last three years. Not nnly as a class-rocni instructur has he excelled but he has combined with this rare al)ilit - as a con- test trainer. An inACStigation of forensic records during the three years of his coaching shows a decideil increase in the number of winning debate teams and orators. In eight de- bates Monmouth has recei ed only one adverse decision, win- ning twenty out of twenty-four judges. All of the orators have ranked high in state contests. We sincerely regret the de- parture of Professor Andrews and he takes with him to his new position the best wishes of the entire student body. H. McCoNNELL J iB 45 £:LjT G ' ' - ' - ' ' ' T Page One Hundred Ten • «rfi ' w OlwitENi Those of you who remember as far hack as hist year vtll recollect that Monmouth ' s men carried off the victory against the Illinois team. This was done on our own platform. This year they have done even better for they brought back the decission when the debate was held at Jacksonville ; thus proving that Monmouth ' s debating methods are both throrough and convincing to the judges. This team was composed of Robert Teare, John French and Carroll French. - V ' Ei.Jl O. ' Page One Hundred Eleven Auqustancx Dobcfto Tq H. IW Corvrvi This year we had the pleasure of hax ' ing the Augustana-Monmouth debate held here. Both teams were well prepared on the question and put up a good fight but the judges saw fit to give the decision to our men. This team was composed of Lawrence Teare; Clarence Britton and Harold Mc- Connell. The question in both debates was Resolved ; That the Monroe Doctrine as developed and applied by the United States should be aban- doned. Page One Hundred Twelve ' iA p f ' Hfk , .-- ELJ-H - Inter-society Contestants DEBATERS CLARENCE BRITTON Eccritean Mr. Britton is an old hand at the debating game, having served on the college teams to say nothing of the numerous society debates that he has been in. His delivery is polished and his delivery convincing. He can attack most any question from either side and come off victorious so Eccriteans have a right to depend on him. HAROLD McCONNELL Philo Mr. McConnell has participated in many debates, being one of the regular college team for the last three years. In addition to that he carried off the prize for the best individual speaker in last year ' s James-Nevin Debate. He is a clear thinker and a forceful speaker. 19 ' El Jl C ' rr a Page One Hundred Thirteen Inter-society Contestants ORATORS LAWRENCE TEARE Philo Mr. Teare was the logical representative for the Philo orator this year, having represented the College in the state oratorical contest. He possesses a pleasing stage appearance and his technique in delivery is perfect. L. Teare T. Newcomb THOMAS NEWCOMB Eccritean Mr. Newcomb is one of those fellows who has a broad and comprehensive grasp on most any cjuestion. He is a hard worker and a deep thinker, and his oration will give the judges something that is worthy of their careful thought. Page One Hundred Fourteen ' - EL Jl O ' Inter-society Contestants ESSAYISTS BRUCE BRADY Eccriean Mr. Brady is one of those fellows who attend society regularly and take a keen interest in all that is going on. He is a well read man and capable of giving a strong Essay. McGrew Brady GLENN McGREW Philo Mr. McGrew is one of Philo ' s consistent workers. He can be counted on first, last and all the time. He spends much of his time in the library and will certainly present a well de- veloped Essay. A F7 Page One Hundred Fifteen Inter-society Contestants DECLAIMERS LEE BRIGHT Philo Lee is an old hand at the platform game having held the position as official reader for the Glee Club for the past three years. This experience coupled with his delightful personal- ity should make him one of the Philo ' s winners this year. JOHN BALDRIDGE Eccritean Eccritean has every reason to feel proud of the man that she has chosen for her declaimer this year. He has shown himself to be an earnest worker, full of vigor and confidence. He has had previous experience in the declamation line and Eccritean may rest assured that he will do the best he can to carry off his end of the contest. 10 -4!v EL.I-HC - Page One Hundred Sixteen Inter-society Contest— 1915 Hr{ Inter-Society Contest of 191 5 marked the third since the two societies adjusted their differences of a few } ' ears ago. This year the contest was spirited all the way through and while the decission of the judges gave the Philo Society eight of the possible ten points, still all those who were present felt that it had been a close contest. The order of the standings was as follows : Debate — James K elso, Philo, value 4 points. Oration — Raymond Smiley, Philo, value 3 points. Essay — Albert Bell, Eccritean, alue 2 points. Declamation — L. Teare, Philo, -alue i point. Those who competed against the winners and their re- spective society affiliations are as follows; Debate — French, Eccritean. Oration- — Henry Hastings, F ccritean. Essay — Getn-ge Warner, Philo. Declamation — McCaw, Eccritean. ORGANIZATIONS Ravelings Board Page One Hundred Eighteen 10 ' ' ' ' ' A% El jl- Page One Hundred Nii HELEN KAILME 1Q17 qAvELINGi 1 i ' y-gi ii G - - it Page One Hundred Twenty Twenty-four Years of the Ravelings N TWENTY-FOUR years almost anything will have changed. Of course some things will change more than others but still there will be some changes. The Ravelings has been no exception. In looking back over the files of the Ravelings we find that the first annual of the col- lege was a scraggly little book which contained a long poem on a purely literary topic and a few write ups of the school. There was one lonesome cut and this by its very lonesomeness looked out of place. But as the years went by the staff of the book kept quietly yet efficiently at work and year by year the book has grown till from a pamphlet of some twenty pages it has grown to 240 pages, containing one hundred and sixty illus- trations, no poems based on the Illiad and a bunch of slams at the individuals in school. Whether or not this has been an improvement over the old order will doubtless depend some- what on the reader, but we leave the book for your judgment. We hope, however, that the endeavors of the staff will be ap- preciated and that next year ' s staff will have the heartiest co-operation of the school in getting out a book of which you may be proud. i ir -4 £LSTac3 5 - Page One Hundred Twenty-one Department Editors |0 GENERAL could long carry on a war without the aid of an efficient and willing army; neither could any editor make much headway without the hearty co-operation of the staff. The Department Editors this year have been willing and capable for work and it is largely to them that the credit for the 19 17 Ravelings is due.

' l students and alumni — has passed through another year of success and growth. The special departments have been better than ever. Miss Alice Winbigler, as Alumni editor, has made The Oracle a most welcome visitor in the homes of many hundreds of Monmouth ' s alumni. Ralph Douglass, cartoonist, has lent his rapidly developing powers generously and the productions of his pen and Inrush have been eagerly awaited week l)y week. The editorial policy employed during the past year has been frankly one of co-operation for a bigger and better Monmouth. The editorial columns have been employed in supporting the spirit which is making this thing pos- sible. The news columns have always been non-partisan and every effort has been made to strengthen the csf rit dc carps of the student body. This policy has been permitted to rest upim its dwn merits, as the opportunity for expressions of independent opinion has always been presented. Financially, the Oracle has again added to its surplus fund. An ade- quate equipment of furniture, typewriters, etc., has been purchased and the paper is probably in a more flourishing condition tiian ever before. Never may its glory die and long may it wave. The Oracle Staff which has served this year is as follows: Editor — Robert Teare. Alumni Editor — Miss Alice Winl igler. Business Manager — Henry Hastings. Assistant Managers — Thomas Spicer, James Smith. Assistant Editors — Ernest Hays, Jay Kelley. Sophomore Assistant Editors — Katherine Stewart, Rockwell Barnett, Bruce Gillis, Albert Liddle.

Page One Hundred Thirty-thr The year 19 15- 19 16 has been a banner year in many respects for the Y. W. C. A. Her membership numbered one hundred twenty-one, the largest in her history, with an average attendance of sixty-nine at every reHgious meeting. Our Bible Study committee enrolled seventy-five in Bible Study and our Mission Study committee sixty-eigt in their department. The Treasurer ' s books show total receipts $580.04 and expenditures of $433-24- To beautify the Y. W. C. A. room, a large copy of the Sistine Madonna has been hung on her walls. Eleven delegates were sent to the Lake Geneva Conference, August 28- September 6. During the past year, the Y. W. C. A. has been a potent factor in the spiritual life of the college. Her influence has extended beyond the college campus for during the past year she inaugurated a social service work in the intermediate grades of Ninth Avenue Sabbath School. Only time can es- timate her value in the life of many of our girls. Y. M. C. A. During the year 1915-1916 the Y. M. C. A. has placed itself in the front rank of college organizations. The membership during this year was raised to more than seventy-five, the highest mark reached since the beginning of the association. It has won for itself a place of recognition among the men of the school which it has not had in years past. The subjects discussed in the Y. M. room on Sabbath afternoon were talked about on the campus the following week. Special emphasis has been given to the choice of a life work. In these discussions each vocation was given an equal footing since it is un- derstood that the Master can be glorified in every walk of life if He but be given the leadership. The slogan of the Cabinet might be said to have been Service owing to the different ways in which they tried to bring men of the school to give of themselves to their fellow men. One of the chief features of the service campaign was the work among the foreigners in the city. Classes in the study of English were started among the Greeks and Mexicans who work here. Another prominent feature of the work this year was the Gospel team campaign. It is estimated that the Gospel Team men have talked to more than seven thousand people during the last nine months. The outgoing cabinet men have felt the strong pull which has come from the student body without which their program could not have been carried out. With the momentum which has been gathered during the year 19 15- 16 the success and the influence of the Y. M. C. A. seems almost permanent. ib Page One Hundred Thirty-four • fiuTao- rtW i, ' rm ' Mt % -n. w n e f ?f (JTLE HASTINGS BE5SlE_S£03 te| riWI CAB I MET % R CE MARTIN 3K •W i f ■ JEAN YDUtske- S W s aGBETTA GACDlNER , .flfc). |j i9 ' - i5LjT cr% ' -- ' - ' ' ' TV Page One Hundred Thirty-five Thirty-six ' -fiLi-paC - - §E1 « ¥ fH 9 iir? n f vfll 1 R t f t f ■ H UAL Jtt|M |||g kJ i Gospel Teams The work of the Gospel Teams the past year is worthy of special com- mendation.

There were three teams out during Christmas Vacation. One team went to Washington, Iowa, for one service and to Ainsworth, Iowa for seven days. The boys report splendid meetings at both places. The work in Ains- worth was among the boys of the community especially. In personal inter- views and through public meetings and services which were held every night, the College man ' s view of Christianity was presented. The members of this team were. Hoy McElhinney, Carroll French, Robert Teare, Robert Wilson, and Charles Ghormley. The second team was in Columbus City a week. The work there was similar to that at Ainsworth. The fellows themselves gained a lot of val- uable experience, and the people of the community expressed their apprecia- tion of the work done. The members of this team were George Warner, Ralph Douglass, Leland Henry, Roy Harper, and Merrill Ady. The third team went to Kirkwood for one service. The members of this team were, Henry Hastings, Bruce Brady and Robert Wilson. Since vacation four teams of three men each have been out nearly every Sabbath giving talks in the interest of the U. P. Colleges. lO Page One Hundred Thirty-i Student Volunteer Band--- 1915-1916 Roll Jennie FullertiMi Lulu Orr Martha Glass Lucile Spicer Eva Carnahan James Smith Henry Hastings James Pollock Daniel Smith George Warner Merrill Ady The Student Volunteer Association is an organization of students who have chosen as their life work some form of Christian Service in foreign countries. The purpose of the organization is to stimulate a vital inter- est in missionary work and to acquaint the prospective missionary with the unevangelized fields. During the past College year we have been privileged to entertain the Convention of the Central Illinois Union of Student Volunteers. These meetings proved delightful and helpful to all who attended as the messages were brought to us direct from foreign lands by students who are studying in our American Universities. Mr. George Warner, a member f)f our local organization was honored by being elected to the Presidency of the Union and Mr. James Smith was chosen as Secretary.

The M Club While the M Club is only three years old, it has already assumed ' the position of an old and established organization of the College. The club is composed of all those men who have won an M for any athletic event in college and the alumni, who are honorary members. It has for its purpose the furtherance of the athletic interests of Monmouth College. This year, after the Thanksgiving game, the boys held a banquet at Hawcock ' s Cafe to which all the old M men were invited to be present. The club always officiates at the Western Illinois Inter-Scholastic Meet which is held here every year, and it largely due to the club that the events are run off in the able manner in which they have been the last four years. The officers for this year are: President Harold Kelly Secretary Gail McCleary Treasurer Charles Ghormley •iS .■ ' ELlTaG- Page One Hundred Thirty-i The Wearers of the M ' Football Lehmd Turnbull Charles Ghorniley Harry Fackler Orville Raymond Harold McConnell H.

It was organized in the fall of 1913. The purpose of the organization is to study the liquor problem in all its phases and to enlist the college man and woman in the work of stamping out the Great Evil. The local league has had a representative in the State Contests held by the Illinois Association for the three years of its existence. One representa- tive won third place iri the Oratorical Contest. Our representative, IMr. Jas. A. Pollock, won fourth place this year although it was the opinion of the Monmouth audience at least that he should rank higher. The principal work of the league this year has been as hosts of the State Oratorical Contest and Convention of the Illinois Inter-Collegiate Prohi- bition Association, April 28th and 29th. The contest was held Friday even- ing in which Mr. Pollock won fourth place. Saturday, the 29th was given up to a conference on the work. The mass meeting Saturday evening was attended by the various organizations of the city in a body. The speakers were F. Scott McBride, State Supt. of the Anti-Saloon League and Mr. Har- rv S. Warner, National Secretarv (if the Student Movement. ' lo ' - M Ei j-f o: - ' Page One Hundred Forty-i State Prohibition Convention Ion MOUTH had the honor this year tor tlie first time of entertaining the State Prohihition Convention. The convention opened Friday evening, Ajiril 28th and continued over Saturday the 29th. At the opening session the visiting delegates and contestants were welcf)med by Presi- dent McMichael. His address was followed by a speech of ac- ceptance by S. H. Perry, president of the Illinois Association. Following this came the contest. There were nine entries this year and each of the contestants had a strong and well devel- oped oration, though from the nature of the subject they were all very much along the same general trend. However they all showed that the boys were awake to the problem that is con- fronting the nation and whether their solution of the problem is correct or not, the contest was well worth while from the standpoint of awakening public opinion on this great c|uestion. All day Saturday was given over to the transacting the business of the convention w ith the exception of the closing session in the evening which was in the form of a mass meeting. Seats were reserved for the Commercial Club, the high school and the various churches of the city. The meeting was ad- dressed by Harry Warner, secretary of the National Collegi- ate Association and Mr. F. Scott McBride of the Anti-Saloon League. Both men spoke on the progres of the work and the aim of national prohibition. - V£L.ITaG - German Club Der Deutche Bund, commonly known as the German Club is one of the high bniw organizations of Monmouth College. Its membership is strictly limited both in regard to quantity and in regard to quality. But within the membership limit the club is open to all German students who have completed three semesters of college German with a grade not less than B. Its cabalistic German constitution, combined with the fact that its members speak a foreign tongue, lends to it a certain ineffable atmosphere of mystery which cannot be ignored. In spite, however, of its high brow-ism, its intellectualism, and its mys- ticism, the German Club has proved a very human organization. During the year monthly mettings have been held at the homes of different members and just before Christmas the annual Weihnachtsfest was held at the home of Dr. Church, which witli the German menu and big Christmas tree will be long remembered. A word of appreciation must be expressed for the efforts of Dr. Church. His generous co-operation has made the meetings profitable and interesting. President Helen Huey Vice-President Robert Teare Secretary and Treasurer Howard Stewart fio-HCJS Page One Hundred Forty- Chemistry Club Officers President Walter W. Wright Vice-President Jami-;s H. C. Smith Secretary-Treasurer Theodore Landgraff Advisor Professor E. Heuse The Monniinith Clieniical Club, one of Monmouth ' s most recent organizations, was organized in the spirit of Monmouth ' s slogan, A greater and better Monmouth College . As its name would suggest, its aim and purpose is to pro- mote the interest of the Science of Chemistry in Monmouth College. Although coming into existence only this spring, thus having its first anniversary yet to celebrate, from its present growth and activities it bids fair to become one of the promi- nent organizations in Monmouth College. Like many another organization, it began with a small nucleous of students spec- ializing in Chemistry and who, desirous of banding together for the promotion of their common interests and exchange of ideas, began a canvass of their fellow students, with this ob- ject in view. With the earnest co-operation of Prof. Heuse a meeting was called and the Monmouth Chemical Club was the result. A constitution was drawn up and adopted and the above named officers elected and installed. With these and twenty- five charter members the organization began it career. Meetings are held twice a month in the Chemistry Lec- ture room, the address being given by members or special lec- tures. Practical problems application and new discussions in the field of Chemistry are taken up, sometimes with practical demonstrations, thus building up the laboratory and the com- munity to their mutual benefit. Although but at the beginning of its career, the Mon mouth Chemical Club has also visions of greater things and has as a practical aim to be of constantly increasing value and service to both College and communitv in its own particular field. i9 - ' -4.V!ELj-H 3 - i ' T Ci Page One Hundred Fort y-four m?cdAcKIn CLWB 1 Eats Clubs The two cliilis above are fair samples of the eating clubs of the College. This year tiie cluljs have playeil in rather hard luck for in three instances of the five, some accident has made it that the boys had to close down and find a new eating jilace. However a look at the boys as they are shown in otlier places in this book will convince you that they ha e not lacked for something to eat. j iS - -4V ' ELlTa 3 3- ' - Page One Hundred Forty-five Forensic League President Harold McConnell ice-President Clarence Britton Secretary and Treasurer Lawrence Teare The members of Philo and Eccritean Societies constitute the personel of this organization. The duty of the organization is to conduct the forensic affairs of the institution. The burden of the financial support of forensic activities rests wholly upon this league. Though little popularity attends the work connected with the Forensic League, it is always faithfully done through its committees and the organization is deservedly recognized as a force for good in Monmouth College. The Student Body The Student Body has shown itself unanimously behind the student ac- a part. It ' s chief function seems to be to generate pep for all student ac- tivities, yet it has other functions as well. All questions pertaining to the students and not handled by smaller organizations are taken care of by the Student Body. There are no rules or by-laws governing this body but every- thing is left to the discretion of the President and Vice-President. The StudentB doy has shown itself shown itself behind the student ac- tivities this year by sending the band to Coe and by raising the semester fees from four to five dollars. The spirit of the Student Body meetings has been characterized by freedom of speech and by the absence of railroad- ing . Page One Hundred Forty-six Community Service The Social Service work was started at Monmouth this year for the first time. Following a visit by Fred H. Rindge, Traveling Secretary of the International Y. M. C. A., a canvass was made of the fellows in school, to determine how many would be willing to help in the Social Service work. A large percentage of the Y. M. members signified their willingness to help out in any way possible The development of the work was a good field for the practical Christianity of the College. It gave the fellows a chance for true Christian service based on the principle, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my brethern, ye have done it unto me. At the start the work was divided into four separate and distinct divisions. Bruce Gillis was placed at the head of the Foreign work. Max Kissick con- ducted the Shop Meetings, Henry Hastings met with the Trade Unions and Wilbur Douglass had charge of the Boys ' Work. The interest was mani- fested from the first. Among the foreigners, classes were organized to teach tlie English lan- guage, mathematics and drawing classes among the shopmen and trade unions. This should become one of the strongest branches of the Y. M. work. Sabbath School Work Last summer Monmouth followed her precedent of the past few years and sent out men to the mission field for summer work along the line of building up Sabbath Schools. Henry Hastings, John Atcheson and Carroll French represented us last summer. Mr. Hastings worked in Stutgart, Ar- kansas ; Mr. Atcheson was in northwestern Missouri and Mr. French was at Pittsburg, Kansas. The boys were well pleased with the results of the sum- mer and felt that it was a summer that had been well spent. This year several more men will enter this line of work for the summer but just who they will be has not yet been announced. The Ravelings takes this opportunity to wish them well and hope for their every success in the work they have mapped out. MUSIC DEPARTMENT lB ' ' i £l_ j- lG 3-- Page One Hundred Forty-eight Monmouth College Conservatory of Music I M ON MOUTH College Conservatory of Music under |Sm3| tlie efficient direction of Professor T. Merrill Aus- ' ' tin, has come to be one of the strongest departments of the College, and holds a high position among the colleges of the west as a school of music. In the last few years the Conservatory has made a remarkable growth and has grad- uated large classes in voice and piano. Its many organiza- tions also testify to the efficiency of its work. The Choral Society has given two concerts the past year, a program of Christmas Carols before the close of scliool for the Holiday ' acation, and Maritana just Ijefore the spring vacation. The College Orchestra, a permanent organization under the direction of Professor Austin and Miss Katherine Finley, accompanied the Clioral Society in both concerts, be- sides performing similar services for many other entertain- ments during the year. The Men ' s Glee Club and the College Band are also permanent organizations of the College and con- tribute much to the fame of the institution. io ' ' ' -Ay Ei ii o Page One Hundred Forty-i Faculty T.

Page One Hundred Fifty.fou Monmouth College Orchestra A permanent organization of which the College may well be proud is the Orchestra. It is under the leadership of Professor T. Merrill Austin. The past year they have assisted the Choral Society in the presentation of two con- certs, namely jMaritana on March 2j, and a program of Christmas Carols December i6, and in addition have assisted in many other musical entertain- ments of lesser importance. The personal of the Orchestra is as follows : First Violins, Robert H. Waddell, leader, Lawrence Tea re, Frank Hamil, Glenn Bruner. Second Molins, Alfred Schaumleffel, Andrew Rodgers. Viola, Ray Smith. Cello, Katheryn Finley. Contra Bass, Prof. Luft. Cor- net, Rudy Cooper. Trombone, Claude Work. Clarinets, Clark W ' arfield, Ted Landgraff. Timpani, Leslie Eckles. Piano, Marie Kettering. Choral Society Year by year Monmouth ' s singing organizatii)n, the Choral Society has been getting better and this year only marks another forward step. While the society did not give as many concerts this year as they have in some years past, those which they did give were of excellent merit. Maritana a light opera, was given on April 27th. It was attended well and was a financial success. The plot of the opera, which is laid in Madrid is worked out by soloists and choruses. The soloists on this occasion were : Miss Nelle Porter, Miss Eva Carnahan. Mr. Vylie Stewart, Mr. Lee Bright, Mr. Clyde McCov and Mr. John Schnurr. Profes sor . ustin directed the pro- duction. Jh iO ■ ' ■ELX-NC3- ' 4 s ,-. Page One Hundred Fifty- five College Band This is the second year the College has had a band. That it is a great aid on the football field in getting up and keeping up pep cannot be doubted by those who witnessed any of the games last fall. That the stu- dent body feel their value is proven by the fact that they saw fit to send the boys to the Coe game and pay their expenses. We are all mighty proud of the band and only hope that as the years go by it will continue to fill that long felt need of something to keep up the spirits of the school at a hard game. Some of the musicians will be lost this year, but we are in hopes the the Freshmen of next year will furnish the needed recruits to fill the vacant places. The value of music in all athletic events cannot lie over estimated.

Miss Nesbit is a good teacher who has the happy faculty of getting on the right side of the students and makes the work a pleasure to them. China painting is her specialty and under her teaching the girls have turned out some very fine work. To those who are interested in painting a visit to her studio in the Library luiilding will be a source of great delight as she has some very fine work on display. The future of the Art Department seems assured as the interest in this liranch of the work has increased with every succeeding year. It is hoped that at some time in the future Monmouth College may have a fine new building devoted exclusively to the use of the Art School. Page One Hundred Sixty Musical Club AST YEAR, under the leadership of Miss Emily L. Thomas, a num- ber of the leading musicians of Monmouth conceived the idea of a Music Club whose purpose should be to stimulate a keener in- terest in nuisic and jiromote an incentive to furthered endeavor on the part of graduates of the College Conservatory and others advanced in musical ability. At that time a number of active members were secured and an organi- zation effected under the name of Monmouth Music Club. The organiza- tion is artistically one of the city of Monmouth, yet it is in very close touch with the College and it was only through the initiative of the Conservatory that it was originated. It was meant by its founders to be of special benefit to pupils in the Conservatory. Since the beginning of the school year associate members have also been taken in, with permission to attend the programs, but not required to participate in either the program or business meetings. The membership has now grown to over two hundred and it has become by far the strongest organization of its kind in the city. Each month the Club gives a musical program in the auditorium. The past year nine of such programs have been given. Besides, the Club has been responsible for the appearance here in concert, January 21, of Evan Williams; the famous ' ' elch tenor. The club also has co-operated during the year with the Conservatory in presenting the four numbers of the Artist ' s Course, and many other musical attempts on the part of the College. The Monmouth Music Club has had a very successful career thus far and has a ery bright future before it. The present officers of the club are : President Miss Emily L. Thomas First ' ice-President Mrs. Lee J. Hubble Second Mce-President Prof. H. W. Church Secretary Miss Minnie G. Searles Treasurer Alfred Schaumleffel Page One Hundred Sixty- ' ELi-paci IT ..■- Pa The May Day Party Page One Hundred Somewhere in the early days of May when the clutch of the long winter is broken it is spring time at Monmouth College. Under the great trees of the campus, and up and down the maple shaded streets stroll white gowned girls and coatless men, forgetful for the time of all save the warmth and beauty of the newly arrived spring. Blue violets, the earliest of the year, call the lovers of nature to the Country Club woods or to long walks ending at Cedar Creek or some other center of natural beauty. The sober library with its stacks and stacks remains neglected and forgotten. One of these beautiful days a flood of Youth and Old Age is seen pouring in on the campus and centering around the square in front of Wallace Hall. The occasion for all this is the annual May Day Party of the girls. First the audience witnesses the crowning of the Queen of May, the personel of which has been kept a secret till that hour. That event being over the program proper begins and from the moment of the entrance of the first performer till the close, the audience is held in breathless delight. Songs, dances and pantomime follow one another in their appeal to the spectator. Greek girls sway rythmically to the soft music, flower clad figures cross and recross, while they in turn are followed by Dutch peasant girls in a merry little folk dance. Just as the shades of evening are falling, groups of girls make their exit from Wallace Hall, and swaying gracefully from side to side, advance to the high pole in the center of the square. Slowly unwinding the gay streamers of glowing red and dazzling white, they wind in and out and around the pole in a fantastic whirling mass of motion, light and color; then turning they swiftly circle the pole in the opposite direction till it is once more bound by those colors that every Monmouth student loves. The costumes and the floating masses of color drift together with the spectators, the crowd surges out over the campus and down the street and with the departing of the last happy couple, silence rests upon the scene. The May Day Party has become a happy mem- ory. Dampustry at Monmouth College One of the largest departments of the college if not the largest is the Campustry De- partment—yet look as hard as you may you will not be abel to find it in the catalog. How- ever, if you are at all interested almost any of the students can give you full detailed in- formation concerning the time of classes and the objects studied. Woman, fudge and fussing are the specialties of this course and judging by the size of the classes this year, we may say that it has proven to be a decided success. The evenings in this department are given over to star gazing, tete-a-tetes at any resturant and watching the movies . No diploma is given in this course although a certificate of attainment may be secured from the county court house. Page One Hundred Sixty-four Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. Reception NE OF the most enjoyable and entertaining of College affairs is the Young Men ' s and Young Women ' s Christian Association Reception. This year the re- ception was held in Wallace Hall on September 1 1 , 1 9 1 6. The first part of the evening was spent in having Get Acquainted Dates . Programs were filled out with adjectives describ- ing the persons with whom they had dates. The latter part of the evening was spent in giving charades. This is the first opportunity to meet the new students and always proves a very enjoyable one. Freshman Party Although the Freshman boys were overcome by superior numbers in the Pole Scrap. the girls of the Freshman Class were more than glad to give these valiant defenders of the Red and Black a party in the basement of Wallace Hall on the evening of September 21st. 191S. This was the first social meeting of the Freshmen, and as a large number were present, it proved to be an excellent way to become acquainted. During the first part of the evening, a very exciting relay race was held, followed by other games. The crowd was then divided into si.x groups and each group portrayed a Mother Goose Rhyme, very cleverly. After refreshments were served the crowd left in time to be home bv 10:15. Sophomore Party We have won the pole scrap again ! As Freshmen our colors waved gaily o ' er the campus and now as Sophomores we have held our antagonists through the hour. It was in celebration of this victory that one night in the fall we sought the beauties of Cedar Creek, where we might give vent to our enthusiasm. Fun and congenialitj- held sway (ask Ralph Douglass about the gray sweater if you doubt it), and after a fine time and good eats we began to think of the Dorm and 10:15. But the car was late — a chronic state this year — and almost in the wee sma ' hours we reached home, weary but happy. Iq— -J?,45 £li-HC ' - Hundred Sixty.fi Second Year in McMichael Hall HE school year of 1916 will soon come to a close, and with it a second happy year in McMichael Home. The first part of the year was a lively one. Spirits walked in the night, midnight spreads and fes- tivities were common occurences. Two murders have occurred yet no trace of the victim or murderer can be found. There surely must have been some secret door or a well organized system of under-ground railways ! Now however, everyone is too busy to think of stunts ! Quiet reigns supreme from 7:30 p. m. to 6:30 a. m., and the thumb- worn texts will soon have a much needed rest. About thirteen girls remained in McMichael Home during Spring va- cation. No meals were served in the Dining Hall, but the girls ' batched ' or took their meals up town. One of the very enjoyable rooms in the Dorm is the Chafi ng Dish room together with the West Porch. Here small spreads and parties can be made most enjoyable. Another that might be mentioned here is the small Reception room, commonly known as the Engage Room . It is one of the most popular rooms for certain Seniors on rainy or windy days. The boys will all vividly rememljer the large Reception room, for to some it is always as familiar as to the girls, luit we as a student body are all proud of McMichael Home, and bequeath to the coming generations of stu- dents, pleasant memories of stolen dates, ladders and hair breadth escapes, which lend variety and zest to Dormitory life.

In it come three holidays and on top of that we get out of three days of work. Some month. But to go on with the story, the holidays that come in this month are St. ' alentines ' Day, the birthday of G. Washington and the anniversary of A. Lincoln ' s entrance into the world. Now as to the first, the encyclopedia says that St. ' alentine was a man who was beheaded under Claudius. Who Claudius was or why in the beheading process they put him on top is not recorded. However, it does say that just before that axe fell ' alentine got up his nerve and handed the executioner a piece of paper with a comic drawing on it. This was the first valentine. Now we come to A. Lincoln, but the writer was out the day they had that lesson, so we will pass it up. Now as to G. Washington. George was the son of old man Washington, lived in New York before the days of the Waps, Hungarians and Russians, and gained for himself fame in many ways. We will tell about one. You see George lived in a beautiful mansion at the corner of Fourteenth and Broad- way. The house was not modern and it was not paved in front of the place, in fact the paving stopped at nth St. The electric lights stopped at 5th and the street cars were very seldom seen gliding gracefully in and out between the tall buildings down in the city. There were no street cars ; there were no sky- scrapers ; but we must go on with the story. George ' s father was an apt pupil of the great Mr. Burbank and was par- ticularly interested in Cherry trees. He had quite a number of them in the back yard. There was one tree that interested him in particular. It was the apple of his eye; at least he was very fond of it and had given it a great deal of care and expense. The day that George joined the Woodmen his Father presented him with a nice new, shiny axe with a painted handle. It was some axe and George was very fond of it. Was it sharp? He would see. It was; so were papa ' s remarks when he next saw the choice cherry tree. The old gentleman called George. George did you do this? George could not tell a lie. His father picked up a piece of lead pipe the plumbers had left when they fixed the bath room and started for George with a. This is going to liurt vnu more than it is me expression. It is reported that they had a warm time, hence we cele- brate the Twenty-second of February in commemoration of tliat great event. Incidentally we had some warm time ourselves this vear. Sophomore Banquet Page One Hundred Sixty-nine S USUAL the Colonial Hotel was the happy scene of the Sophomore Banquet on the twenty-second of Feb- ruary. But aside from that the class felt that their second annual banquet was quite different from any other class function ever held. They declare that no other class function was ever permeated with that si)irit of unity by which that memorable banquet was dominated. The class colors, purple and gold, were in decided evidence in decorations and menus. Large baskets filled with yellow jon- quils and tied with purple ribbons occupied the center of the tables. Comic bird place cards carried out the idea of the toast program, LTp in the Air .

It was held in the base- ment of Walace Hall which was very artistically decorated in red and black, the class colors. The tables were arranged in a XIX and looked lovely with big baskets of red carnations in the center of each. Red shaded candles gave out a pleasant glow over the tables. This banquet was the most impor- tant event of the Freshman class and will always l e remembered for the good time that was enjoyed.

Every member of the class was there in gala attire and the balance of the College dropped in during the evening to inspect costumes and watch the childish sports. Jean Young was judged by many to have the most infan- tile appearance, while Mamie Blatt with her expression of cher- ubic innocence ran a close second and Isal Eckley looked as if she had just made her escape from a kindergarten. ' ic Moffet ' s loud shirt and Phillip IMcCutcheon ' s demure little Quaker costume were objects of great interest while Fluz Guth- rie in the role of the awkward farmer boy and John Baldridge as the town tough were given marked attention by the board of censorship. The children amused themselves by first blowing soap bub- bles and playing drop the handkerchief . Afterward thev chose partners and each couple made a scrap book picturing the trials and triumphs of their checkered careers. A simple lunch of animal crackers, ice-cream cones and all-day suckers was served at an early hour to allow the little folks to get started home (m time and the party broke up witli much merriment as the clock toilet! forth the appointed hour. We feel sure that tliis happ)- occasi in on which the Jun- iors threw aside their cares and went Ijack to their childhood will be one of the fondest memories of their college life. Q - i?AVc,„ T- - nS SLfN« Page One Hundred Seventy- Senior Day N THE Twenty-second of February when the under- classmen were fomenting trouble, the effects of which can still be felt, and the Juniors were engaged in the larities of a Kid social, the Seniors were quietly enjoying a formal dinner party in our palatial gym. This was one of the most enjoyable social functions of the year. The toast pro- gram was carried out in moving picture terms and the banquet hall was tastily decorated with posters of the move artists. Rec- olletions of the day will be attended with pleasurable feeling in the memory of every Senior.

But this year the committee de- cided to hold it in the Faculty Room in the Library Building. All the members of the Faculty and their wives were pres- ent and although a cloud overshadowed the festive board, blighting some of the spirit, the occasion was greatly enjoyed by all. After the banquet the guests were entertained by music given by some of their own number. Pane One Hundred Seventy-three Dormitory Hallowe ' en Party Once more Hallowe ' en has come and gone, and with it the ghosts, spirits, witches and the Dorm party for another year. The annual masquerade par- ty given by the Dorm girls for the town girls was held in the Gymnasium wher lights were scarce and shadows lurked in dark corners. As the ghosts came drifting to the dark side entrance, the pass word being given, they were waved silently down a dark stair-way, where they were met by white-robed figures. With weird gestures and gutteral sounds they directed them on their grewsome journey. Through corridors, dimly lighted by Jack o ' Lanterns antl witches heads, up one stairs and down another, they sought their way, u ntil they finally reached the Gym. Here they were directed to dark booths, there to seek the mysterious unknown — their future. Many questions of vital importance were answered to the satisfaction of all. Later in the evening the guests were piloted to the north attic, where gory scenes met their eyes. In one corner hung the heads of Bluebeard ' s wives, in another a skeleton, lighted every few sconds with an electric light, while black cats and ghosts filled the air with weird cries. After the grand parade, the guests unmasked and seated themselves around the room while the hostesses served them with pumpkin pie, apples, and other Hallowe ' en dainties. Shortly before midnight spirits take their walk, the town girls departed for home, each anticipating a jolly time for Hallowe ' en in 191 6. Dormitory Reception for Boys October twenty-second, 191 5, was a dark day and night for the unfor- tunate town girls of Monmouth College! For all the men of school were invited to the Dormitory, to join the girls in the first festivity held around the fire place. The boys in small crowds and individually have been en- tertained many times but as a student body they had never before enjoyed an evenings entertainment in the Dormitory. The first part of the evening was spent in getting acquainted. Later the crowd was divided into groups according to the months in which their birthdays were. Each group put on some stunt to illu.strate an event in their particular month. After toasting marshmallows in the fire place the crowd broke up at a late hour, each hav- ing enjoyed the occasion to the fullest extent. dred Seventy-four Senior Class Play— The Crisis Tuesday, June 8, 1915— Cast of Characters Judge Whipple Robert Graham Carl Richte r, a German Law Student Robb Nichol Stephen Brice, A young Lawyer Roy Denniston Jo, a Negro John Acheson Colonel Carroll, a Southern Gentleman Ralph White ' irginia Carvel Esther Craig Puss Russel Alma Johnson Eliphalet Hopper, a Yankee Russell Wagner Clarence Colfax, a Southerner Raymond Smiley Mrs. Brice Lena Ogden Mrs. Colfax Mildred Currier Lieutenant Tom Catherwood Walter Schrenk Auctioneer Ralph Stine Mr. Canter Cassius McKnight Nancy Ellen Henry Ephum Robert Riddell Maude Catherwood Mary Logan George Catherwood Frank Stewart Ann Brinsmade Lulu Hensleigh Jack Brinsmade Wilfred Matson Eugenie Renault Clara Kongable Union Soldiers Messrs.

' i iF ' i v-ei j- aO- - Page Two Hundred Fourteen INA LAW ROBERTSON In Memoriam Many Monmouth people were shocked by the sudden death on March 6 of Miss Ina Law Robertson of Chicago. Her bequest to the College some years since, the largest single benefaction which the institution has ever received, as well as her close connection with some of its alumni and friends, has given to the College and the community an abiding in- terest in her life and work. She was widely known as the founder and president of the Eleanor Association, a social service institution in Chicago. This was a work of her own inception eighteen years ago. Miss Robertson was born in Albany, Oregon. Following her college education she spent some years as a teacher in the State of Washington. Later, as a graduate student of ' Ei i o - ' ' ' ' ' ' ' y Page Two Hundred Fifte the University of Chicago, she became acquainted with the social problems of a great modern city. Deeply intuitive and preceptive, she saw that the condition of the working girl was already a serious social problem, to be aggravated with the years, as more women entered industry. How to make the transition from home to business life in the city safer was the question she set herself to solve. The result was the Eleanor Club , a self-sustaing home for girls working on a low wage. The idea grew in popularity with the workers as well as with the employers. The demand for expansion became strong with the creation of each new unit, but the demand was never permitted to endanger the sound business basis upon which each home was established or the ideals sought to be maintained. With an assurance of continued growth, the Eleanor Association was formed and in- corporated. Many men and women of education and means entered its service, either di- rectly or by voluntary contributions. The Association has never solicited financial aid, yet many thousands have been given for the enlargement of its activities. Six Eleanor clubs, with a patronage of over 3,000 working women, form the present establishment. The funds for a seventh home to be built on the Midway, under the shadow of the university, have been provided. The trustees of the Association share the spirit of philanthropy and business sagacity which distinguished the founder. They see no limit to the possible growth of these homes and their influence. But the loyalty of the beneficiaries themselves seems to be the best guarantee of permanence and extension. Each club is provided as nearly as possible with the atmosphere and accessories of a modern home. Substantial board is supplied, and the home is equipped with laundry, gym- nasium, parlor, piano, library and reading room. Each home is ir charge of a matron and such assistants as are needed. It was a cardinal principle of the founder that the club members should be afforded those religious privileges which she conceived to be ap- propriate to a modern home. A monthly publication, The Eleanor Record , under the managing-editorship of Professor Hammond of the University of Chicago, and Professor J. M. Coulter of the same institution, furnishes a medium of communication l)et ween the Association and its members. Beyond most modern cities, Chicago is tending to become a wonderful laboratory of applied sociology. Miss Robertson in common with other well known social workers, saw the great possibilities of a life of usefulness by the selection of a definite and unoccupied field of service. She saw the coming place of women in industry, and she believed in the pos- sibility of making their lives safe, efficient, and homelike in the midst of stressful com- petition. She lived long enough to demonstrate the practicability of her faith, and she be- queathed to the Association a rare comprehension of business insight and spiritual sym- pathy for its future guidance. Speaking editorially, the Chicago Tribune said : During her life Miss Robertson was less widely known than many other philanthropists. But her service should keep her name always on the records of America ' s enlightened woman- hood. The Chicago Examiner, i n an editorial estimate said : Miss Robertson expressed her life in the creation of an institution, but it would have been incomplete without her, as incomplete as would Hull House have been without Jane Addams Xo her the Eleanor girls brought all their troubles from the loss of a job to the buying of a sorely needed pair of shoes. From her they took counsel, sympathy, and above all the finest in- spirations as to the ideals of life. — L. E. Robinson.
