Copyright Ralph B. Eckley — Editor Herman Bear — Manager Prof. W. S. Haldeman To W. S. Haldeman; M. S., Professor of Chemistry of Monmouth College. Because, for the last four years, he lias given his untiring services to the service of the school. Because, of his loyalty to Monmouth and his sympathetic interest in undergraduate activities — an interest which has already shaped the lives of many students. Because, these characteristics have compelled the love and respect of his classes, who are better men and women for having come in contact with his influence. Auditorium Thoughts of sweet, solemn mel- odies, memories of actors behind dim footlights, cheers for another Monmouth victory — quiet Vesper Sabbaths in spring. Memories such as these build romance about the Auditorum, which steals into our hearts. Wallace Hall Wallace Hall is the monument of the College to the founder of tin- institution. In its simple majesty there is embodied the ideal of the College — honesty, gentleness and loyalty. Science Hall McMichael Hall. Another mon- ument to a builder of Monmouth College. Symbolizing ' , as it does. the advance of the world through re- search, the character of the last gen- eration of students has already been broadened and refined under its in- fluence. Library Carnegie Library. Given by one who worked for the up-building of students, the results surely have alreadv justified the faith that prompted the gi ft . President ' s Home Gift of friends who loved the College and home of two who have given their lives to building the inst- tution, this old home has watched Monmouth grow from a single building to eight and will live to ' see the plans under construction mater- ialize. Dormitory The gracious nobility of this beau- tiful Woman ' s Building symbolizes the gay, fine spirit, the broad vision, the dignity of Monmouth women. There are a score of memories in the stately doorway through which many have passed to a larger life. Terrace Oldest of the College buildings, the Terrace still has much of the simple dignity that characterized the faithful men who budded bet- ter than thev knew. Sunnyside Newest of the College buildings but already building a tradition of deeds and misdeeds. Home of wives and teachers of the next generation, it symbolizes the advance of women to their new estate. Thomas Hanna McMichael, D. D. — President A. B., Monmouth College 1886; A.

He is the most generous, good natured fellow we know, be- sides being a leader in football, basketball, track, Y. M. Cabinet, and business manager of the Ravelings. ERMA ARMSTRONG How much to be prized and esteemed is a friend On whom we can always with safety de- pend. MIRIAM BAILEY This maid improves her charms With inward greatness, unaffected wisdom, And a sanctity of manners. HAZEL JEAN BEATTIE Jean is another product of that famous reservoir of Monmouth students, Sparta. Ouiet and demure, but efficient and good. RALPH B. ECKLEY The less said about him the better. Al- ways to be found pounding out copy for the Ravelings or the Oracle after the subjects required for graduation are out of the way. EVELYN CATHCART A product of Marissa and a worker with a will : and she arets there too. FANNIE BRADFORD Miss Bradford is registered from Gales- burg but is something of a cosmopolital cit- izen of the world. She is another devotee of Robbie. LUCILE DOUGLASS Lucile is an interesting individual. Al- ways loaded down with a bundle of music and worrying about a test in music. Am- bitious tho ' , with a sense of responsibility. Papo Forty-four ROBERT FERGUSON Ferguson is one of those fellows that never realize is competent until he has ac- complished something big. EVELYN DOUGLASS Evelyn is a very competent person. Her tastes run to music and still more music. She is a member of most things and Music Editor of the Ravelings. HELEN HAMILTON Helen is a girl who likes to surprise peo- ple. She surprised a good many by bobbing her hair. She is one of those eternal Honor Students that are such an irritation to more normal individuals. She is Organization Editor of the Ravelings. BERTHA HAYSLIP Bertha is a pinch-hitter. Whenever any- one wants a program and experienced per- formers are lacking, they can always call on B. and get a new, and original selection. She is prominent in Dormitory life. i9lMnp3 ALBERT HAMILTON Red is noted for two things; brains and unique hair. Perhaps it is this combination that makes him such a baseball player. CAROLINE KEATING Caroline is from the country and a pro- duct of Monmouth High School. She man- ages to pull down real grades and entertain Ben Hill Smith. HELEN KETTERING Helen is one of those super-efficient girls that are the bane of a man ' s life. They be- lieve that they can run their own affairs without the advice of a dominating man. Helen seems to be a success too. RUTH LUGG We wish we had space to tell you all about the many things that Ruth can find time to do in the short space of twenty-four hours. Her most notable achievements are the Honor Roll, Y. W. Cabinet, Assistant Editor of the Oracle and of the Ravelings. Page Forty-five LEONARD HOFSTETTER Leonard is a coming chemist. As an as- sistant to Prof. Haldeman, he has already begun to show some of his vast talent. He is more widely known for his football prowess. LUCILE LORIMER Lucile is President of the Junior Class and a controlling influence in most every- thing else. The Juniors are very fortunate in having such girls as Lucile to manage their affairs in an efficient manner. RUTH LEWIS Ruth hails from that town in Iowa where the name is spelt out in stones along the Rock Island right of way, Columbus Junc- tion. She is a fitting representative of the state of broad prairies and pretty girls. RUTH LEET Another Ruth from the next to the best state in the L nion. The town is West Chester and the students of Monmouth hope that W. C. will open up it ' s heart and send us some more like her. ' 3 RALPH MILLER Ralph is without doubt the best Athletic critic in school. He can tell you the age, weight, and qualifications of any man that has played in Monmouth since he was a Freshman in high school. In addition he is a Track man himself and Sport Editor of the Ravelings. ANNA McMORRIS Anna is so quiet and shy that one is scarce- ly aware of her presence. If one troubles himself to inquire into her merits, however, he becomes aware that we have a genius in our midst, vet to flower out. EDYTHE MARTIN To look at her you would never think she was a foreigner. ' Tis true, Edythe hails from far-off Stamford, Ontario, in the English domain of Canada. She manages to set a mark, though, for a great many of IRENE McDILL Irene is the third of the four McDill girls in school, that is, in the little red book from Y. M. She is a fitting representative of the name, and of the famous Mc. handle. ROY HOFSTETTER Roy is not so much of ;i chemist as his brother hut in his own lines he is equally good. He finds time to play football and to be advertising manager of the Ravelings and a member of the Y. M. Cabinet. BERNEICE McCRElGHT Berneice is a great bother to the Editor, he can never remember how to spell that first name. He is still uncertain as to whether there should be another e in the name or not. Despite this handicap she manages to be an A student most of the time and a strong student in English. FLORENCE McDILL Florence is the second of the family in the little red book. It is odious to make com- parisons but we think that she will compare verv well with the other members of the famil y in school. MARGARET McOUISTON Margaret is at home in McMichael Home but conies from Scotch Ridge, Ohio. She goes in mostly for studies but finds time to have a good time every once in a while. Mi£ k$ STERLING RIGG Sterling was not with us the first semester but after a try at Northwestern, he decided to come back and get an education. Ster- ling is good at many things, even seven ball. He shows his ability by holding down the office of President of Eccritean. RUTH ROWSER Ruth is yet another Iowa contribution, from Stanwood. She is not prominent in some things but strong in all. Such as these make up the student body. RUTH PHELPS Ruth — have you noticed how that name runs through the Junior class? The book of Ruth must have been popular about the year 1900. If all the Ruth ' s can bear the title as well as this one, Oh, what a school we might have ! MARIE STEWART Marie comes from the state of wheat and Industrial Courts. Garnett, Kansas, is re- sponsible for this anomily. We have heard that a Garnett was a stone of rare beauty, seemingly it has polished the rough edges off this delightful lady. i9 ueip23 Pace Fiftv KENNETH SNODGRASS Fort Morgan, Colorado, has contributed some very interesting specimens to the stu- dent body of Monmouth and we have an excellent specimen in K. He manages to get things done without apparent effort. Oh, if we had that talent! MARGARET WHITE Peggy is a product of the famous old North Ward School and of the tutelage of Miss Stansbury. She has blossomed out with modernized hair since then and has endeared herself to the student body by her portrayal of Judy in Daddy Long-Legs . IRENE WALKER Irene comes from the town of many hills just across the river. Burlington did Mon- mouth a favor by sending this girl here for her education. She is a journalist and is Chronologist for the 1923 Ravelings. ISABELLE SHIMMIN Isabelle is another of those absolutely de- pendable persons without whom the profes- sors would tear their hair. She manages to do very well, thank you, and hopes to grad- uate into a profession next year. RODERIC SMITH What would Monmouth do without Rod- eric? Where would our Y be without Roderic? Who would sell ads for the Or- acle except Roderic? Yes, Roderic is val- uable and will grow more valuable as time GRACE WELLS Grace comes from Piper City and hopes thereto someday to return. She is capable and interesting to talk to. Manages to get along very well in all that she attempts. JUSTINE VAN GUNDY Justine is the sister of our other two Van Gundy ' s and the daughter of our third. She is in Music and many other things and will be leaving the old school next vear. HAZEL VAN NUYS Hazel is the second of the coupe of Vans in Monmouth. Our study of the sources of names would lead us to surmise that there is a little Dutch in this pair. Hazel is nice to talk to, good to look upon and obliging to a friend. NEIL JOHNSON Neil is a farmer lad but is urbanistic in his ideas. He is after an education but not through education. He spends his spare time talking politics and collecting subscrip- tions for the Oracle and for the Ravelings. MARY ALICE McCOY Mary Alice commands our respect.

The team was largely composed of freshmen who lacked college experience. The season from the standpoint of victories seemed unsuccessful, but the experience gained by these men will be shown next fall. The team im- proved steadily throughout the season and in their last game against Knox showed a fight and skill that almost held Knox to a standstill. The season started off with a team from Eureka composed of veterans who defeated Monmouth 19-0. The next week the team journeyed to Mt. Pleasant where they met the strong Iowa Wesleyan team and came out vic- torious 7-3. The next game was played against Lombard who had the best team in the state and Monmouth was crushed by superior weight, speed and play. Next the team traveled to Lake Forest where they lost ahard luck game through fumbles. The score was 26-0. The game with Augustana was a thrilling one, Monmouth being defeated 19-7. The team went to Jack- sonville where it suffered a 38-7 defeat at the hands of Illinois College. Then Monmouth lost another hard luck game to Northwestern. Monmouth gained twice as much ground but lost 2-0. The game with Knox was a bitter fight. The first half ended 0-0. In the third quarter Knox made two points but the team did not give up and came back in the last quarter with a touchdown making the final score 19-7. With the experience gained this year, a good team should appear next fall. Only one man is lost by graduation. r - s ■ o o W • -3 « .- ■■■....■; : y. i .■■ . i v ' ' ' :■■ r - ml ' j 5ff Page Sixty-eight 19ftrfitp 23 Individual Write-Ups CAPTAIN SCOTT Captain Scott led the 192 1 football team from the tackle position. With two years experience in college football he proved a capable leader. Although not a spectacular player he was the best linesman Monmouth possessed. He was in every play, a hard fighter and one of the best tackles in the state. He was at his best in the Augustana, Northwestern and Knox games. Ned is only a junior and is expected back next year. CAPTAIN-ELECT WALLACE Tom Wallace, next years ' captain is very well qualified for the leader- ship. He started at tackle but early in the season was shifted to center. Tom is a steady, reliable player who sees through an opponent ' s play quickly. He was handicapped toward the end of the season by a bad ankle. Tom is a junior and much is expected from him next year. ANDERSON Anderson played a half back position and was one of the most consistent ground gainers on the team. What he lacked in weight, he made up in speed. Anderson did all of the passing and his passes to Overton and Bear resulted in long gains. Sede is the only senior on the team and will be greatly missed next year. BEAR Bear played an end and showed some remarkable football although hav- ing had but little experience. He showed better on the offensive than on the defensive. His forward pass catching was the feature of the Augustana and Northwestern games. Cubby is a junior and next vear should make a great end. L. HOFSTETTER Leonard played regularly at guard position. He was steady, reliable, and one of the hardest charging men on the team. He never showed up spectacularly but was always there. Hofstetter was a hard worker and should be a valuable man next year. Leonard is a junior. R. HOFSTETTER Roy was taken from his regular position at end and tried out in the backfield where he stayed for the season. He was small but speedy and a very good tackier. Gus also substituted at quarter back part of the time. He played some great football and as he is only a junior, will be back again next year. LEV WALLACE Lev was unable to get out for football at the first of the season, but when he did get out his size and pep soon won him a place on the team. He played a hard, fighting game and was a big asset to the line. Lev. has two more years of college competition and should be a great player next year. WELLS Wells was also a late comer but soon made a place on the team. He took care of the other tackle postion. He was a hard fighter and a good man in the defensive. Wells played a great game against Augustana and Knox. Wells ranks as a sophomore and will be back next year. GLANVILLE Glanville played in the backfield and did the team ' s punting. He was also a valuable man to carry the ball. It was his touchdown that won the Iowa Wesleyan game. Glanville showed some great punting in the Knox game. It was his punting that helped to keep Knox scoreless in the first half. This is Glanville ' s first year at Monmouth, though he ranks as a sophomore. OVERTON Overton, a product of Monmouth High School, held down the other end. He was one of the greatest defensive players on the team. Most end runs of the opposing teams were thrown for a loss when they came around Jack ' s way. His catches of passes scored the touchdown in the Knox game. Overton is only a freshman, so has three more years of college competition. CLAYCOMB Claycomb played the first game as guard but as a quarter back was needed he was brought to the backfield. Although inexperienced as a backfield man, Claycomb developed into a good quarter. He played a good steady game and with the experience gained this year, he should make a valuable player next year. Claycomb is a freshman. Page Seventy ERTMER Ertmer played in the backfield and was a good man on offense. He was the fastest man on the field in football togs. He was a hard worker and reported for practice every night. This is Ertmer ' s first year at Monmouth. BERRY Berry was a utility man used both at center and guard. He played a great deal at center while Wallace was injured. Berry was a hard worker and reliable although he lacked experience. Berry should make a good player next fall. George is a sophomore. DAVIS Davis was the best open field runner on the team but was injured in the second game of the season. This kept him out until toward the end of the season. Davis is a freshman and will be a great help to the team next year. CLARK Clark was another backfield man who was laid up by injuries. He played the first of the season and at the end. He played his best game against Knox. This is Clark ' s first year at football although he is a sophomore. GRANT Grant, who hails from Colorado, changed off with Claycomb at the quarter position. Grant was fast, a hard worker, and a good backfield man. This is Grant ' s first year at Monmouth. GALLOWAY Galloway played both at tackle and guard position during the season. He was out every night and was a hard fighter and worker. Galloway, with the experience gained should find a regular berth on next year ' s team. MMnjp Page Seventy-i Pape Seventy-two Basketball Season The basketball season of 1921-1922 is perhaps the best in the history of Monmouth College. Monmouth defeated some of the strongest teams in the conference including two games from Knox, and has a better claim to the state championship than any other school. With four regulars back from the team that won second in the state tourney a year ago, a wonderful team was built up. The team was composed of Smiley and L. Wallace, forwards; Mann center and Capt. Bear and Tom Wallace, guards. Overton, McKee and Glanville were sub-guard, center and forward respectively. The work of Smiley and L. Wallace was wonderful to see. Smiley was high point man, scoring 187 points in fifteen games. Mann, a freshman, performed well at center and needed only a little college experience. Capt. Bear shifted from center to running guard showed up well, while Tom Wal- lace at back guard was right there at getting the ball off the banking board. Overton fitted in well in the combination as a sub guard. McKee plaved in several games at center and Glanville at forward. Monmouth won ten out of fourteen conference games played, giving her a percentage of .714. She won two games from Knox, Eureka, Milliken. and one each from Augustana, Lombard, Illinois College and Carthage. The games that were lost were one each to Lombard, Augustana, Northwestern and Illinois Wesleyan. Monmouth played nineteen games in all, taking a practice trip to Chi- cago without the services of Smile}-. Every game was lost but the experience gained for the coming season was great. Monmouth has great hopes for another championship basketball team next year for every member on the squad is back next year. Smilev is the captain-elect for next year.

Win- ning six out of the eight conference games played, Monmouth tied with Knox for the conference championship. When the call came for baseball aspirants onlv two letter men were in school. Around these the 1921 baseball team was built. The two letter men were Capt. Smiley who performed at second base, and Firth, captain of the 1920 team, who played first base. The team had a great battery in the Dick- son brothers and Hamilton proved to be a real find at short stop. Axline, a senior, playing his first year at baseball, held down third base. The outfield was taken care of by Clark and the Wallace brothers. The team was very strong in the pitching department but woefully weak at batting. The team batting average for the season was only .120. The fact that only two men are lost by graduation shows that a strong team should represent Monmouth in 1922.

He could be depended upon to stop everything ' that came his way. He was an expert at laying down bunts and was one of the team ' s best hitters. Smiley is a sophomore and will take part in the 1922 season. CAPTAIN-ELECT HAMILTON Hamilton, who hails from Pennsylvania, played short-stop and was al- most spectacular in his playing. Although he slumped at first in his hitting, the last few games brought him next to Firth in the batting list. Hamilton is only a freshman and will also take part in the 1922 season. FIRTH Firth is one of the best first sackers in the conference. He was one of the most, essential men of the team. He led the team both in batting and in base stealing. Oscar graduated in 1921 and will not be in line for this year ' s team. AXLINE Axline playing his first year at baseball held down third base. He proved to be a very dependable player and was a fairly good hitter. Axline is also one of the men who were lost by graduation . R. DICKSON Richard is the pitcher of the twin battery and showed some real pitching. He averaged eleven strike-outs per game and allowed only an average of four hits. Dick pitched every conference game, winning six out of the eight. He is a sophomore and will take part in the 1922 aggregation. I Page Seventy-eight WESLEY DICKSON Wes was the receiving end of the battery and backed np his brother in fine style. He had a powerful throw to second base and in three games not an opposing player stole a base. Wes is also a sophomore and in line for 1922. TOM WALLACE Tom started the season at third base but was removed to the outfield, where he showed some good fielding. He was next to Firth in base steal- ing. He is a junior and will be in the 1922 team. LEVERETT WALLACE Lev was another outfielder. Although large he was fast and covered a good deal of territory. He was a good fielder although rather weak at batting. Lev is a sophomore. CLARK Clark played the remaining outfield position. He started off the season with some great hitting but took a slump and ended towards the bottom of the hitting list. This was Clark ' s first year at Monmouth so he will be in the 1922 team. BEAL Beal, utility man, plaved a number of games as infielder and in the field. He was a fairly good hitter but lacked experience. He is a, sophomore. y S!b i9$auelhip23 Page Seventy- 1023 1921 Track Season Monmouth had a very successful season for 192 1. With several letter men back as a nucleus, a very good track team was developed. The team was led by Capt. Axline who had most of his time taken up with baseball. The team was organized and developed by Coach Embree. The first meet was with Heckling at Monmouth, April 23, which Mon- mouth won by the score of 72-58. Bear was individual point winner. On May 3, Monmouth journeyed to Knox where she was defeated 94-37. Bear, however, was individual point winner. On May 5, a triangular meet was held at Monmouth composed of Mon- mouth, Lombard and Northwestern. The meet resulted in a victory for Monmouth with 49 5-6 points, Lombard 41 5-6; and Northwestern 38 1-3. Monmouth ' s next meet May 14, was a dual meet with Augustana at Monmouth. Monmouth came out on top 72 1-3 to 57 2-t,. Monmouth sent a team to Decatur May 26-27 to the State meet. Bear tied for second in the pole vault and Fred Niblock won third in the half mile. This gave Monmouth 3 1-2 points. The meet was won by Knox. 3 Pane Eiuhty-i. 1922 Track Schedule April 22 — Iowa Wesleyan at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. April 29 — Heckling at Abingdon, Illinois.

A large number of men tried out and there was much competition. The first meet held was an interclass meet. The fresh- men were victorious with the juniors one point behind. The sophomores and seniors followed in the order named. From this meet a college cross country team was picked. It consisted of Fred and Charles Niblock, Earl Dugan, Rod- eric Smith and Homer Maxwell. The next meet was held at M onmouth between Knox, Northwestern and Monmouth. Northwestern won the meet with 17 points, Monmouth second with 2j and Knox third with 35. The race was very close, Spong and Lockwood of Northwestern, Miller of Knox, Niblock of Monmouth and Thompson, an unattached runner coming in close together. Much interest was shown in cross country running work this year and next year a good bunch should be out and more meets will probably be secured. r Pap;e E:p:hty-five Girls Tennis The work of the Recquet Club was of interest to every co-ed in tennis. A tornament was held to determine the in- dividual championship of the school. Jean Rife, Evelyn Doug- lass, Mary Graham and Helen Brown were runners up. Jean Rife was defeated by Evelyn Douglass and Mary Graham by Helen Brown. The final round was won by Helen Brown over Evelyn Douglass in two straight sets. From these players a team was picked to represent Mon- mouth against Knox. Evelyn Douglass and Mary Graham were selected for the doubles and Helen Brown for the singles. A match with the Knox co-eds was played at Monmouth. The result was a victory for Monmouth in both doubles and singles. Mary Graham and Evelyn Douglass defeated their opponeents in two thrilling sets 6-3 and 7-5. Helen Brown took the singles by winning two out of three sets 4-6, 6-3 and 6-1.

Leonard Melburg representing Monmouth, won third place, the first and second places going to Illinois Wesleyan and Knox, respectively. The decision was close and it was only after a second count by the judges that the definite decision was reached. Mr. Melburg ' s oration Liberty Through Law , showed his unusual ability in forensics. He spoke with a forcefulness and clearness which won much favor with the audience. All four years he has taken active part in forensics and Monmouth will be sorry to lose him this June. Mr. Melburg was not only our representative in oration this year but is also leader of the negative debate team. I Page One Hundred Sixteen Boys ' Debate Season The boys ' debate season was about an even break when considered as a whole. When the results are considered it is seen that it is unbalanced. The negative team won two unanimous decisions and a two to one decision in their various contests, while the affirmative won but a single judge. The same condition existed throughout the country and dissatisfaction with the way in which the question was stated was quite general. The question selected was, Resolved: That the principle of the closed shop in American Industry is justifiable. Many thought that the burden of proof was not properly placed but Coach Messinger is to be congratulated on his loyal work in developing both teams under this handicap. The first intercollegiate debate was with Simpson College with the nega- tive team of Melburg, Allen and Bowker representing Monmouth. They won a unanimous decision. Then came the triangle with Coe and North- western in ' which the negative at home won another unanimous decision and the affirmative lost to Northwestern. In the last triangle the affirmative at home lost to Augustana while the negative won a two to one decision from Illinois College. The last debate was an open forum debate, without judges, between Monmouth ' s affirmative and the negative team from the Michigan Agricul- tural school, coached by Walker Milne, ' 21. This was perhaps the most interesting debate of the year and the contestants were in a position to intro- duce evidence without regard for the decision of the judges. ' feSS Boys ' Debate Team AFFIRMATIVE TEAM From the standpoint of decisions the sea- son of the affirmative team was not very successful as they managed to win but one judge during the entire period. From the standpoint of debate work . and developing of material, the season was a decided success. A number of men took part in the three contests of the affirmative team. The mem- bers came to a certain extent from the affirm- ative team of Philo in the James-Nevin de- bate. The leader of the team was David Living- ston who took part in all debates and fur- nished an excellent example of powerful in- dividual debating. The men who took part in the debates on the affirmative team were, David Livingston, Claire Boruff, Herman Bear, Forrest Young and Fleming Bailey. Boruff was a new man in debate and sur- prised the student body and perhaps himself by his excellent delivery. He will be in school for next year ' s debate season. Bear is another new man in debate and took part in the contest at Northwestern. Bear is an Eccrit and furnished some good work, according to reports from the oppos- ing school. Young is a senior and went into debate as a pastime, as he was unable to keep busy with his study and publishing the Oracle. His work was in the Open Forum with the Aggies. Bailey took part in the James-Nevin and again in the last debate of the year with the Michigan Aggies. i9 uelfttp3 Page One Hundred Eighteen Boys ' Debate Team NEGATIVE TEAM The negative team was made up, in most of the debates, of the men, from Eccritean, who won the James-Nevin contest. The leader of the team was Leonard Melburg, veteran of four seasons in intercollegiate work and responsible in a large measure for the continuous success of the team. John C. Allen, Jr. was the second mem- ber and took part in the James-Nevin con- test and in the Simpson debate and in the Coe-Northwestern-Monmouth triangle. He was an interesting debater with a scathing style, which when toned down a bit will be very effective in future contests. . Del Bowker was the third man on the team and furnished some wonderful work. A freshman, with three years of debate ahead of him, Del shows promise of becoming one of the most powerful contestants in the his- tory of college debating. Bowker was in every contest, as was Melburg. In the last triangle with Augustana and Illinois, Mitchel Sprole took Allen ' s place. Sprole is another first year man but accord- ing to reports from Illinois acquitted him- self very well. The negative team had a most successful season. Unanimous victors in the James- Nevin and receiving unanimous decisions in the Simpson debate and in the Coe-North-. western triangle. In the last debate the team won two judges and established their record. Girls ' Debate Team AFFIRMATIVE TEAM The affirmative team of the girls ' debate squad consisted of Mary Graham, Elizabeth Farrel, and Velma McCrery. The result of this selection made a very well-balanced team that made an excellent showing in their two contests. The first member of the team, Mary Gra- ham, is a senior and will be unable to take part in debate next year. Miss Graham was an excellent speaker with a clear delivery and a well constructed speech. She furnish- ed an excellent rebuttal. Elizabeth Fa rrel is a sophomore and will have two more years in intercollegiate de- bate. Although this was her first year in college contests, her style was good and her speech coherent. She will be an excellent nucleus for next year ' s team. Velma McCreery was the balancing mem- ber of the affirmative team and was a strong help in winning the decision over the girls from Northwestern. She will be available for the team next year. The affirmative team had a season simi- lar to the negative. They won a unanimous decision over Northwestern but fell under the attack of the strong negative team at Hedding. As a whole, the season for both teams was very satisfactory. i9$aiielnp23 Hundred Nineteen Girls ' Debate Team NEGATIVE TEAM The negative team was selected from a large number of contestants and included three members. Charlotte Cummings. Phy- liss Walter and Elizabeth Harden made up the personnel of the team which recovered it ' s honor, after losing to Parsons by win- ning over Iowa Weslevan. Charlotte Cummings was perhaps the best individual debater of the season. A strong, analytical construction was characteristic of all her speeches. Her ability in rebuttal was remarkable. Charlotte promises to be an excellent member of next year ' s team. Phyliss Walter, with high school debate and declamatory experience was a reliable member of the team and furnished a good many arguments for her case. Miss Walter has two more years in school and will con- tinue to take part in intercollegiate forensics. Elizabeth Hayden is another new member of the girls ' debate squad. She has a re- markable personality and has promise of greater work next year. The season for the negative team was just about an even break. Winning one decision from Iowa Weslevan by a two to one de- cision and losing to Parsons bv the same re- sult. !MylN Page One Hundred Twenty-i Women ' s Debate Monmouth ' s Women Debate Teams have again revealed to us this year and amply exhibited her prowess in intercollegiate debates. Last year was the first year of women ' s intercollegiate forensics, with results which proved that we have unusual ability in forensics. The question debated was, Resolved: That the Philippine Islands should be given immedate independence. The negative team consisted of Char- lotte Cummings, Elizabeth Hayden, and Phyllis Walter, while the affirma- tive team was adly upheld by Mary Graham, Velma McCreary, and Elizabeth Farrel. The first clash of the season was a triangular debate between Monmouth, Northwestern, and Parsons, with Monmouth ' s affirmative team meeting Northwestern ' s negative team at Mon mouth ; Monmouth winning 3-0. The negative team at this time meeting Parson ' s affirmative team at Parsons, Parsons winning 2-1. This resulted in a victory for Monmouth. The sec- ond and last clash was a pentangular debate between five colleges, Monmouth, Heckling, Iowa Wesleyan, Carthage, and Parsons. Monmouth ' s negative team debating Iowa Wesleyan ' s affirmative team at Monmouth, Monmouth winning 2-1, while Monmouth ' s affirmative met Hedding ' s negative team at Hedding, Heckling winning 2-1. Excellent work was exhibited by the members of both teams. Awards will be given to these representatives soon and it is hoped that a chapter of a National Honoratory Organization can be secured in the near future. 19$atlttip23 Page One Hundred Twenty-two 3 Page One Hundred Twenty-thr K23 Page One Hundred Twenty-four PHILO-ECCRITEAN CONTEST Philo — David Livingston Philo— Ben Hill Smith Philo— Wallace Moffet Philo — Forrest Young Held June 4, 1922 Debate Oration Essay Declamation Eccrit — Wallace Buck Eccrit — Thomas O ' Leary Eccrit — Ralph B.

The judges, Frank Hallam, C. E. Lauder, and R. M. Work, saw fit to give a unanimous decision in favor of the negative Eccritean team made up of Leonard Melburg, John C. Allen, Jr., and Del Bow- ker. The affirmative was upheld by a Philo team composed of David Lovingston, Ben Hill Smith and ' Fleming Bailey. Leo- nard Melburg, leader of the Eccritean trio was individual prize winner, receiving a ten dollar personal prize. The team received an additional twenty-five dollar prize from the Donations of Captain James of Jacksonville, Florida, and Mr. James Nevin of Pittsburgh, Penn. As a result of this contest the negative debate team for intercollegiate debate was selected. This team included Leo- nard Melburg, Del Bowker, and John C. Allen, Jr. The debaters placed as individuals in the following order : Melburg, Livingston, Allen, Bowker, Smith, Bailey. Allen, Bowker, and Bailey made exceptional showings, considering that they were new men. i9 ne[inp23 Page One Hundr Junior Class Play DADDY LONG LEGS College Auditorium — April 28, 1922 Miss Helen McClanahan — Director CAST OF CHARACTERS Mrs. Lippet Lucile Lorimer Freddie Roy Hofstetter Gladiola Bernice McCreight ' Sadie Kate Lucile Douglass Judy Abbott Margaret White Cyrus Wycoff Leonard Hoffstetter Miss Pritchard Ruth Lynn Abner Parsons Ralph Ecklev Jarvis Pendleton Herman Bear Julia Pendleton Margaret McOuiston Sally McBride Evelyn Cathcart Mrs. Pendleton Helen Hamilton Jimmy McBride Claire Boruff Mrs. Semple Florence Mcintosh Walters Sterling Rigg Griggs Neil Johnson DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC EVELYN DOUGLASS, EDITOR ' IX Page One Hundred Twenty-eight Boys ' Glee Club The Boys ' Glee Club made their annual trip during spring vacation, March 29 to April 6.

Six programs by home talent have been given, the most important of which was the American Composers ' Program. At this program letters were read from each composer represented on the program. The replvs were from Mrs. Edward McDowell, widow of the famous composer ; Clarence Cameron White of Boston; Grant Schaeffer and Mary Turner Salter of Willimstown, Mass. ; Jeanne Branscom and Samuel Gardner of New York City; Ward Stevens of New York; Lulu Jones Downing of Chicago; Alma Goatly of London, England. The Artists secured by the Music Club were Riccardo Martin, Operatic Tenor of the Chicago Opera Company ; Louis Kreidler, Baritone, Chicago Opera Company. The artists secured in connection with the college were Frances Ingram, contralto; Dumesneil, French pianist; and Sabatini, violinist. The Music Club has taken up community singing, hoping therefrom to develop a permanent chorus. The Christmas program included two choruses and a study of the Messiah, which has been sung every Christmas over the world for one hundred and eighty years. Plans are being made for an equally brilliant season next year. DEPARTMENT OF MISCELLANY a b i9$aoinp23 Page One Hundred Thirty-eight Editorial Through a path beset with traps and pitfalls the Editor has at last manouvered his frail bark to the harbor of publication with a full crew on board. Only by the close co-operation of the staff, the printer and the Engrav- ing Company was it made possible to bring the year book out at this time. The thanks of the Editor ami of the Staff are given especially to the Bureau of Engraving of Minneapolis, the Commercial Art Press of Mon- mouth and the David J. Molloy Company of Chicago who prepared the cover. Mr. Hollembaek of the Root Studio is thanked for his interest and advice in securing photographs and in preparing these for the Engravers. Thanks also to our advertisers for their support of the book. The publication of the 1923 Ravelings has indeed been a task, but a worthy- one. A college annual is an investment that appreciates at com- pound interest as the days go by. We look at the pictures of our friends with casual interest now, but some day the sight of those well remembered pictures will call up a thousand delightful memories. The Editor wishes to make a personal appreciation of the work of Her- man Bear, Neil Johnson and Roy Hofstetter of the Business Staff for their work in securing advertising and in selling the book. To Fred Niblock for his assistance in photography and to Ralph Miller for his excellent write up of the Athletic section. Miss Ruth Lugg, Helen Hamilton, and Florence Mcintosh for their work in mounting portraits for the Engraver and to Mary Alice McCoy, Margaret White, Lucile Lorimer, Irene Walker and Evelyn Douglass for their work in preparing copy.

M. and Y. VV. reception for new students was held at Wallace Hall on Saturday evening, September 17, 1921. Each person ' s name was pinned upon him or her, on entering the door. so that introductions for the evening were unnecessary, since a person ' s name could be ascertained while shaking hands, by glancing at the tag. Get-acquainted games were played for a short time. Then the company was entertained with a clever little farce entitled, Our Aunt From Cali- fornia , with the following character parts : Miss Mary Muntoburn, the aunt from California. . Mary Graham Miss Wilcomgites, the dressmaker Edna Ekstrom Mrs. Needy, the mother Yenna Patterson Sally Needy Lucile Black Rosalie Needy Miriam Davidson Felica Needy Gladys Frank More handshaking followed in addition to refreshments of ice cream and cake.

Society entertained the new girls and the lady members of the faculty at a reception on Thursday, September 22, in A. B. L. Hall. The guests on arriving spent some time playing games after which a one act farce was presented, entitled, A Freshman ' s Dream. The Fresh- man, played by Hazel Van Nuys, was seated under a tree on the campus troubled by the prospect of future work. He finally went to sleep and dreamed of cabaret girls, bathing beauties, and a faculty meeting which was given in a most amusing manner. Lastly he dreamed of his Latin Pony and his Math Ghost. The guests assembled in small groups, and refreshments of ice cream, cakes and mints in A. B. L. colors, yellow and white, were served. The program closed with the singing of the A. B. L. song. 19Wtnp23 Page One Hundred Sixty-one ALETH RECEPTION FOR NEW GIRLS The Aletheorean literary society gave a reception for the freshman girls and women of the faculty on Friday, October 12, 192 1. The first of the afternoon was spent in a name contest followed by a Monmouth edition of Snappy Stories, four different departments of that magazine being edited extemporaneously by four groups of girls. The party then adjourned to Philo Hall, where a musical romance entitled Memories was presented. The concluding number of the program was a pantomime, The Eskimo Tragedy, which described a truly heartrending catastrophe. At 5 :3c) the guests returned to Aletheorean Hall, where refreshments of ice, lady fingers and sticks of blue candy were served. After the old girls had sung with much pep, the Aletheorean song, Monmouth Loyalty was started and everyone joined in heartily. A snake dance around the hall concluded the afternoon ' s entertainment. NEW IDEA, AT PHILO ROAST, IN WAY OF EATS The Philo literary society entertained the new men of the college and their lady friends at a roast at the old weinie tree northeast of the city on Friday, October 21, 192 1. The old-fashioned weinie was supplanted by hamburgers, the committee having gathered a couple of hundred hamburgers and a number of skillets, and everybody was given instructions to fry your own. A big bottle of pop and huge slice of pie was alloted to each person. Several bonfires gave a merry appearance to the scene. For entertainment the eighty couples were divided into two groups and placed on opposite sides of a ravine. The object of the division was for one side to capture the other. It took two couples to capture another, and needless to say, the contest was exciting. The night was beautiful and everyone enjoyed the Philo hospitality. Page One Hundred Sixty-two JUNIORS CLAIM CAMPING PLACE EAST OF BALL PARK About fifty members of the Juni r class went on their annual weinie roast on Tuesday, October 18, 192 1. From five until seven, when the football boys began coming out, they began collecting at what is now the Junior Class Site a half mile east of town. This was the third time in the history of the class, that they had gathered at that spot, to enjoy their annual get-together festival. Weinners and buns, marshmallows and apples, kept everybody in good spirits. Mr. and Mrs. Rudy Cooper, chaperones, led the class in some songs and a little of the spirit of ' 2$ was let out to the trees around. Some good old fashioned games were then played until the hour of eight drew near, at which time the class in twos and threes, (mostly twos) arrived at the dor- mitory more thoroughly convinced than ever that for pep, fun, and a real good time there is no place like the Junior class. DORMITORY GIRLS GIVE GAY HALLOWE ' EN PARTY Ghosts, banshees, witches and ha ' nts of all kinds held high revel on Saturday evening, October 28, 1921, when the girls of the dormitory enter- tained the town girls with a Hallowe ' en party. The dorm was adorned with typical Hallowe ' en decorations — shocks of corn from which peeped Jack-o ' - Lantern faces. The first part of the evening was spent in dancing. After some time the judges decided that Evelyn Cathcart, dressed as Little Bo-Peep, had the prettiest costume, and that Bertha Hayslip and Ruth Ardrey as Mammy and . Old Black Joe had the funniest. The rest of the entertainment consisted of a stunt, a game, a storv- telling and a play, all of which were of a Hallowe ' en nature. Refreshments of pumpkin pie a-la-mode were served at ten o ' clock. m®3 Page One Hundred Sixty-th ECCRIT HOLDS FORTH IN ANNUAL BANQUET Old Eccrit has come back. This was the verdict of all those who attended the annual Peanut night banquet of the society held on Friday evening, December 9, 1921. The affair was held in the club rooms of Hawcock ' s Cafe and the host served a most appetizing repast of baked chicken and all that goes with it. A four course dinner went well with the assembled representatives of the society that has meant so much to Monmouth College and which will, from now on continue to be among the institution ' s livest organizations. After the food had been properly dispatched, the peanuts were intro- duced, huge quantities of them, enough to make the room look like Pusa- tere ' s. At the given signal, hostilities broke forth. To the tune of crashing glassware, cracking heads and wild hysterical screams from the honored lady guests, a mimic warfare was waged, which at times forsook the word mimic and became the real article. After a number had exhausted their store of ammunition, and after the more fortunate had properly disposed of their last few bits, the decks were cleared and the company sobered down. Wallace Buck, president of the society, held forth as toastmaster and in a most appropriate manner introduced each speaker. Miss Mary Howard charmed those present with a delightful program of violin solos. The toast program that was given was : To the Occasion Thomas Wallace To the Ladies Leonard Melburg Response Miss Doreen Skinner To the Contestants Shellar Peacock Response By the Contestants Debate — Wallace Buck ; Oration — Thomas O ' Leary Essay — Ralph Eckley ; Declamation — Paul Warfield To the New Men Roy Hofstetter To the Old Men Del Bowker 3 Hundred Sixty-four PHILOS HOLD ANNUAL BANQUET AT COLONIAL With the wit of John A. Mahaffy, ' 97, scattering smiles and sunshine in a festive haven lattice-worked with Red and Blue and decorated with a myriad bright colored toy balloons, Philo society staged one of the most suc- cessful Peanut Banquets in years. The guests arrived at the Colonial at an early hour, and at 6:30 took their places at three long tables in the hotel dining room where a delicious four course banquet was served to eighty-six Philos and friends, with Mrs. T. H. McMichael and Prof. W. S. Plaldeman as honor guests. After the usual peanut shower which is a feature of every Peanut banquet, the Philo president, announced that Prof. W. S. Haldeman, who had been a member of a Philo society in an eastern university, had been unani- mously elected an Honorary Member of the Monmouth Philo society. After this the Toastmaster of the evening, John A. Mahaffy, ' 97, was introduced and the following toast program was given : Toastmaster John A. Mahaffy, ' 97 To the Ladies William Hogue Response Elizabeth Farrel To the Contestants Roderic Smith Response — Debate — David Livingston ; Oration — Ben Hill Smith Essay — Wallace Moffet ; Declamation — Forrest Young To the New Men George Thompson Response Norris Davidson To Old Philo Tames Woodruff Page One Hundred Sixty-five PHILOS STAGE SUCCESSFUL LADIES ' NIGHT AFFAIR On Thursday evening, January 19, Philo society held one of its most successful Ladies ' Nights in its history. With very few exceptions every Philo and his lady friend was present. At eight o ' clock the members and guests gathered in Philo Hall, where a short but well selected program was given. Roderic Smith, in his well known and characteristic manner, gave an essay on Bobbed Hair in which he gave vent to his opinions and those of very near all the rest of the male sex, on that detriment to feminine beauty. A very clever News Review was read by Walter Russel, and George Van Gundy delivered a humorous declamation entitled, My Wife ' s Husband . The extempo class was represented lay such obstreperous Philos as James Woodruff, Earl Dugan, Paul Bays, Mitchell Sprole, Fleming Bailey, Ben Hill Smith, and Wiley Beveridge. Music was furnished by Jesse Robertson, who favored the society with two bass solos. After the program, the society adjourned to Hawcock ' s dining room, where a delicious two course dinner was served. A. B. L. OPE N NIGHT MUCH ENJOYED BY COLLEGE MEN The annual A. B. L. Open Night to which all men of the College are invited, was held on Tuesday evening, February 20, 1922. The number at- tending proved that such nights are very popular with men, for A. B. L. Hall was crowded to overflowing. After some popular music by Grace Gawthrop, the meeting was called to order by the President, Helen Saville, who led the devotionals. The fol- lowing program was then given : Roll Call Quotations on Man Extempo — Hazel Van Nuys, Lena Pogemiller, Margaret Bal- lantyne, Willa Watt, and Isabelle Hill. Piano Solo Evelyn Fort Sketch Mary Howard Vocal Solo Julia McCracken Reading Helen Laughlin Play — How the Story Grew Written by Justine Van Gundy Following the program, refreshments of strawberry shortcake and coffee were served. Hundred Sixty-: ALETH OPEN NIGHT St. Paddy and the Aletheorean Literary Society entertained the men of the College on Saturday evening, March 18, 1922, in Aletheorean Hall. The program was Irish enough to suit the most radical wearer of the green. Roll call was answered by Irish quotations concerning the so-called stronger sex. The following program was presented : Piano Solo Evelyn Douglass Short Story — The Star Girl Ruth Ardrey Essay — Concerning Shaw Ida Settle Group of Irish Songs Sketch — Snakes Gertrude Rodgers Extempo Class — Ruth Lynn, Irene Walker, Bertha Hayslip, Ruth Rowser, Margaret Gracey, Mary Nesbit, Gladys Ecyroid, Ruth Lewis. After this number which concluded the literary program, the guests were invited to group themselves in circles. The girls then served refresh- ments. After the Aletheorean and College songs had been sung with great gusto, and some yells given, the guests departed. I Page One Hundred Sixty-! MEN DELIGHTED WITH McMICHAEL RECEPTION In celebration of the nearness of old St. Valentine ' s birthday, the dorm girls of the College invited the boys to McMichael Home on Saturday, Feb- ruary ii, 1922. Needless to say the boys turned out in full force, anticipating one of the best times of the year, and they were not disappointed. The rooms were wonderfully attractive ; flowers decked many a dresser ; pictures of the beloved or beloveds adorned the radiators and shelves. Each table was loaded with every kind of candy imaginable. After an hour of visiting, the guests were called to the living room where the Ukelele Girls, Lucile Douglass, Margaret and Dorothy McOuiston, Helen Laughlin, Cleda Stewart, and Augusta Lucas, sang some very sugges- tive and complimentary (?) songs about the lad of old M. C. Next Mora Jean Sillars gave one of her clever readings, and the crowd was moved to the gymnasium, where a one act farce entitled, The Professor of Love was presented. The members of the cast were : Betty McClanahan, Lucille Black, Margaret McOuiston, Delia Thompson, Ruth Turnbull and Jean Rife. After the performance a Monmouthian snake dance was indulged in. The ele- vator was now taken to the basement where ice cream and cake were served. At the fatal hour of 10:15 the lads were shown the door but not before they had protested their thanks. Page One Hundred Sixty-eiprht LOYALTY BANQUET MOST SUCESSFUL YET HELD Loyalty Banquet is a phrase which is still uppermost in the minds of the students, alumni and faculty members of Monmouth College who were present at the Washington Birthday celebration held February 22, 1Q22. After the invocation by Rev. Roy Jamieson, ' 10, those present seated themselves to a banquet served by Caterer Hawcock. Roast ham was the principal delicacy with all the trimmings that go with it. Nelson ' s orchestra furnished the music. After the dessert course of ice cream and cake, chairs were rearranged and the toast program under the charge of Dr. McMichael was begun. The four toasts given by the classes were as follows: Our College Ralph McAllister, ' 25 Our Colors, Red and White Cleda Stewart, ' 24 With All Her Knowledge Ruth Lynn, ' 23 May She Ever Stand for Right Roy Anderson, ' 22 After a number by the Girls ' Glee Club the program was continued by a toast from Prof. Moreland, First in All and at its conclusion the sweaters were awarded. George Wirtz, an old friend of the col lege then toasted, Loval Always and was followed by the speaker of the evening, Mr. Komatsu, an alumnus of the Class of ' 10 who gave a toast to Our Alma Mater, Old M. C. After a few selections by the Boys ' Glee Club the College Loyalty Song was sung and the party broke up. Every one was agreed that the Loyalty Banquet was the most sucessful in years.

One is to the reader who merely wants to know the news of the day; the other to the man in business life who seeks to reach the people with the story of his product. To both classes the up-to-date newspaper seeks to give the highest grade cf service and this is the desire cf the Monmouth Daily Atlas. Whatever mistakes it may make in giving these two classes of service are mistakes of inexperience and lack of knowledge that is common to all. It is impossible f or any one organization to know all. But the Atlas does want to give this cervice and tries to give it at all times. 1 he Atlas believes it is succeeding and needs the help of every man, woman and child in the community to add to its value to everybody. Our mistakes are mistakes of the head and not of the desire to do our best. 1 ' Page One Hundred Seventy-eight e. a. McMillan Dry Cleaning Dependable Service 1 13 So.
