The first issue of the college paper back in the year 1867 spoke of this crying need. The sixties and the seventies and the eighties and the nineties came and went and the crying need was not met. With the opening of the twen- tieth century a frame structure costing then something like $3,000.00 was erected. It was intended to be temporary; it has carried on for almost a quarter of a century. After Library and new main building and science hall and two halls of residence for young ladies had been built the gymnasium question again obtruded itself. The New World Movement of the United Presbyterian Church seemed to render possible that which had so long been cherished as a hope. Mr. Dan Everett Waid of New York City, a graduate of the class of ' 87, was chosen as architect and after months of study and investigation presented a plan that was accepted by the Board of Trustees. On the 21st of July, 1923, the contract for the building was awarded to P. H. Lorenz Company of Moline, the contract price being $228,073.00. Ground was broken on the morning of August 14th and since that time the work has been going steadily on. Sometime during the school year of 1924-25 it is hoped to have this building ready for use. When finished it will be one of the finest and most complete structures of its kind on any campus in the middle west or anywhere else for that matter. It is 122 feet in length by 84 in width, not counting the front and back pro- jections which add some 35 feet to the total width. It is built of reinforced concrete from basement to main floor; from main floor upward the material is Purington paving brick with stone trimmings. The roof is of reinforced concrete. It is a building for which Monmouth College has been waiting sixty-eight years. It will serve her for many years to come not only as a gymnasium com- plete in its appointments but on occasions as an auditorium fitted to accommodate crowds such as at present can find no accommodation on her campus. It is being built not for to-day alone but for a forward looking institution with a future. PLAN OF BASLMLNT YMNASIUM FOR MONMOUTH COLLEGE The main feature of the basement floor is a one hundred yard cinder track. This gives the track men the benefit of winter training under track conditions similar to those of the outdoor track. Jumping pits will also be a feature of this floor. PLAN OF GROUND STORY Gymnasium for monmouth colleg This floor is on the level of the Athletic field. It contains on the east side locker rooms and shower baths. Special quarters are provided for the team and for the visiting team. In this section of the building also may be found special rooms for the athletic director and for the coach. In the center of the building running the full length from north to south is the pool room with galleries for spectators. The pool itself is 80 feet in length by 22 in width. This pool has been made possible through the generosity of Mr. and Airs. D. E. Waid both of the class of ' 87. To the westward on this floor provision has been made for handball courts and rooms for wrestling, boxing, etc., etc. PLAN OF MAIN S T O R. Y GYMNASIUM FOR. MONMOUTH COLLEGE The floor is on the street level and is a spacious room 80 x 120 feet. Perhaps the main feature of tins floor is the basketball court 48 feet in width by 80 feet in length. It is placed a little to the eastward so that no part of it is under the gallery that runs about three sides of the room. On the east side is an ample stage so that this room can be used for class plays, con- certs, lectures, etc. As an auditorium it will accommodate two thousand people. PLAN OF BALCONY GYMNASIUM FOR. MONMOUTH COLLtGf A balcony has been provided running around three sides of the room. This together with the movable bleachers placed on the main floor will provide ample seating capacity for basketball games. Back of the west balcony is a booth for moving picture apparatus.

ARNOLD CLAYCOMB Psychanalysis — Arnold has a Latin com- plex. The first semester he made an A in Latin. Someone said that he knew all of the vocabularies by heart. The Junior Class should authorize Paddy to place a bust of him in Wallace Hall for such a feat as that. JAMES BRADFORD Psychanalysis — Jim ' s complex is a short memory. One day in Astronomy the dis- cussion was about the length of the year. Miss Winbigler : James, was there is leap year in 1900? Jim: I don ' t know; I can ' t remember. Probably this shortness of memory is due to the fact that he holds down a job as assistant in the Physics de- partment and like all faculty members is becoming absent minded. The latest report is that Jim has the house all planned. JOHN C. ALLEN, JR. Psychanalysis — Here is a young man that is suffering from an inferiority complex but tries to compensate for it by striving with all his might to appear just the oppo- site. His imagination often leads him astray. It did last summer when he went out west and tried to become a cowboy. Seriously, though, John is one of the most promising members of the Juionr Class. He will make a good editor of the Oracle next year. MARGARET ARENDT Pshychanalysis — Margaret was a school teacher for several years and we guess she must have the school teachers ' complex. Bet she makes the kids behave. She was only in school the first semester, but we are sorry she left us. SARAH GRACEY Psychanalysis — Sarah has a telephone operator ' s complex. She talks to more boys during the week than any other girl in college. That ' s because she answers the telephone oyer at the Dorm part of the time. She ' s manager of the May Party this year and that ' s a real job for any girl. HAROLD BLAIR Psychanalysis — We can ' t tell you exact- ly what Harold ' s complex is but the other day he brought about a dozen crocks of various sizes up to his room. Now either he is starting in to make hooch or he is starting to get the furnishings for a house together on the installment plan. Maybe it ' s a complex for collecting antiques. REID BEVERIDGE Psychanalysis — Reid has the Chemistry complex and spends most of his spare time in the laboratory. He also has a com- plex on Calculus — it ' s just as complex for him as it is for the rest, or a little more so. The time that he doesn ' t spend in Chemistry or working Calculus he spends in sleeping. SAM ARENDT Psychanalysis — Wild animal trainer and fire fighter complex. Sam has started a menagerie and has as a nucleus a full grown pet coon. Last winter the house caught on fire and Sam put it out to save the coon.

You ' ll have to ask her to give you a private demonstration. RUTH CABLE Psychanalysis — Ruth is one of the in- numerable has been or about to be teachers in the Junior Class. We are informed that Ruth picks out the numbers that we sing in Chapel. Guess she must have a complex for picking out Daddy Austin ' s favorites.

Shaver busted the door off the old electric. Accomplishments — Not the least of Dor- othy ' s attainments is that the plays the harp and plays it unusually well. HUGH ARTHURS Psychanalysis — Hugh has a complex for being late to class the most times during the year.

DEL BOWKER Psychanalysis — Del has a complex for writing letters. Here is part of an unde- livered one found in one of his text books : Wouldn ' t you like to be-out in the woods someplace with everyone else miles away? I think I would have kindnapped you this A. M. and taken you on a long, long trip. We could take all our fairy story books and a big basket of lunch and sit and read and talk. You looked most beautiful this morn- ing — but why prolong the agony. GERTRUDE BRENT Psychanalysis — Gertrude has a History complex. She ' s a shark at it and thinks that Dusty is about right.

This young Lockinvar didn ' t come out of the west but he did come out of the east. He went to Muskingum for a couple of years but has already made a name for himself on the Monmouth Cam- pus. He holds the job of president of the Y. cabinet for the coming year. Phillip also gained a lot of notoriety by having a proc. issued against him. Proc. was so bad that it didn ' t do any harm. EVA AGNES McKNIGHT Psychanalysis — Eva has a complex that she is a vamp. Gets away with it most of the time. At least she ' s got one person fooled. She makes good grades because if she can ' t get ' em any other way she vamps the Prof, for an A. Eva is hungry most of the time too. One night she got some food in through the window and didn ' t get caught. She ' s not the only one that has done that though. KATHERINE KRUIDENIER Psychanalysis — Katherine has a complex for studying. Looks the part too when she gets on those big shell rimmed specs. It ' s a real treat to hear Katherine sing an alto solo.

One night Miss Koupal had to come up and give her a lecture for making so much noise. ARTHUR GIBSON Psychanalysis — Art ' s complex is Biology. He holds down a job as assistant. In the laboratory the boys are at one end of the room and the girls are at the other. Hard- ly necessary to tell which end of the room Art is at most of the time.

MAE McDILL Psychatialysis — Mae has a Mathematics complex and is one of the few girls that attempt to major in Math. Somebody told us that Mae had never done anything ex- citing in her life but that isn ' t true because once she did kill a mouse at the Dorm. Mae is a good student — the kind that Prof. Maynard puts in the upper part of the curve. MARION McDILL Psychanalysis — Marion has a complex for History — at least she majors in it — and very few major in History that don ' t like it. Marion is one of the famous McDill quartette from Wapello — at least there were four of them last year. So many that lots of people didn ' t know which was which. HUBERT DOTY Psychanalysis — Hubert has a Babe Ruth complex. The best thing that he does is to hit home runs for the baseball team. Hubert spent last summer working on a farm in northern Illinois.

Nickname — Skipper. FLORENCE NICHOL Psychanalysis — Florence has a literary complex — she majors in English and writes short stories for Aleth. If you want proof that she can write just read the Chronology. Florence was also property manager of the class play. She must have been a good borrower to assemble such realistic stage settings. ELVAS McKEE ' Among the Folks in History — Slim was only with us the first semester. He was a special favorite of Prof. Fleming ' s and always made A ' s in all of his courses ! Specialties — There were two things that Slim liked real well — basketball and Co- penhagen. HOMER MAXWELL Psychanalysis — Homer ' s complex is Jean. He spends most of his nights studying as- tronomy. In American Poetry one day the discussion had wandered to the stars. Prof. Robinson : Well, after all, Mr. Maxwell, wouldn ' t it be a very great loss to humanity if the stars were taken away. After sev- eral had laughed he added, I was just wondering if you were going to see the joke. PAUL RAMSAY Enter the Hero — Paul proved himself an actor of real ability when he carried one of the leading parts in the Junior Class play. Besides his acting ability there are other things that he does well — plays tennis and is a shark at Biology. That ' s a good com- bination — stage, tennis and bugs. We have it on reliable authority that Paul carries no less than five pictures of his girl on his person all of the time. WILLIAM TEMPLE Psychanalysis — Bill has a tired complex. Even hates to come to class. One day in Economics Bill had not arrived. Prof. Fleming: Mr. McCoy, will you take your car and bring Mr. Temple back dead or alive? In a few minutes McCoy came back with Bill in tow — alive and grinning sheepishly. Prospects — Bill is another of the boys who are going to have to invest their money with the jeweler in the near future. CHESTER WALL Habitat — Chester left us after the first semester and went back to his home town of Clinton, Iowa. The last heard of, he was working (?) in a bank. Favorite pastimes — Writing letters, play- ing five hundred, telephone conversations, and studying ( ? ) Rubber Stamp — Well now, you see it ' s just this way — . MARION KYLE Psychanalysis — Marion has complex for French. She reads it and speaks it very facile. Marion has the that combination the poets rave about — light hair and blue eyes. We don ' t know whether Satan is a poet or not. Page Harold Teen. JEAN LORIMER Psychanalysis — Jean has a complex for Algebra — at least she thinks it ' s complex. But then Jean says she doesn ' t see what good Algebra is anyway — a person can ' t figure out how many cups of flour to put in a cake by Algebra or clean a floor by an Algebraic formula ; and you can ' t darn socks by means of determinants. CORNELIA SETTLE Enter the Leading Lady — Cornelia more than did her share in making the class play a success. Cornelia has tried her hand at lots of things — basketball, debating, teach- ing, etc. — and she makes a go of all of them. She taught last year in one of the grade schools in town. Lucky kids! NEVA ROWLEY Psychanalysis — Has a complex that she is a business woman. Neva went to busi- ness school last summer and took a business course. Anybody need a good stenographer? Favorite Pastime — Usually drives a car. One day she was driving down Broadway and was so intent on watching some of the stronger sex on the side walk that she narrowly missed running into a Ford and having a bad accident. MARY SWINNEY Psychanalysis — Alary takes life seriously and believes that there is more to it than just frivol. She ' s industrious. Last sem- ester she stayed up till about — well, about two or three o ' clock studying for a Bible exam. Guess she must be one of the vir- gins that believes in keeping the oil burn- ing al! night. BLAKE JEWELL Remember Way Back When— Blake used to catch cats for the Biology department? Jewell was about the only one of the party that escaped uninjured. Just the same Blake knows his stuff when it comes to Biology. Blake lives at Little York and drives back and forth so you don ' t see much of him. ROY MANN Psychanalysis — I don ' t know what kind of a complex you call this but not long ago he made a trip to Biggsville and for some reason or other he missed the mid- night train and had to hire a taxi to get back. It is rumored that Roy is consider- ing an offer to coach at Biggsville next year. Athletics — Roy is a whiz at basketball. Also throws the javelin, runs the hurdles and plays football, not to mention the fact that he ' s a good relay man. ALBERT TURNBULL Psychanalysis — Bert just came back the second semester but he has been making up for lost time since. He has a complex for keen women. Report is that he took a girl to the military ball who had a pair of $10 false eye lashes. Whew-ew-ew ! MARION WILDER Psychanalysis — Marion lias a complex for keeping out of trouble. She ' s one of these girls that never did a thing wrong in her life but hates to have everybody think she never did. Marion is one of the mainstays of the student volunteer band. MARGARET WEBSTER P sychanalysis — Has a complex for stu- dent activities. She is president of the Y. W. Cabinet next year. This year she didn ' t have a thing to do. Look at this list : president of the Junior class, on the Y. W. cabinet, Oracle staff. Ravelings staff, Student Council, part in the Junior Class play, member of debate team, etc. Page the student government constitution and look- up her points. GLEN PICKENS Psychanalysis — Pick used to brag that he would never be one of those who stand around in the halls, off in the corners, or out on the campus. No he does not — well, not oftener than a dozen times a day. Here ' s a quotation that just fits him: I am not one of those who believe in love at first sight, but I do believe in tak- ing a second look. — Vincent. FRANK RESNER Psychanalysis — Has a complex for act- ing. It ' s a real treat to hear him sing the Iowa corn song. He imitates all the ani- mals, the barnyard fowls, etc., as a part of it. He even makes a noise like a corn shel- ler. Frank is one of Lady Alice ' s favorites as evidenced by two of her specials : Now Frank, what can you tell us about this ? or Why even Frank Resner knows that. STANLEY SHIELDS Psychanalysis — Stan comes from Love- land (Colorado) and from all appearances is still in loveland. Stan was the efficient manager of the Junior Class play and the results speak more forcibly than words. Stan is to the Glee Club rag quartet what Eddie Cantor is to musical comedy. JEAN RIFE Psychanalysis — Jean has a complex for annexing men. She always has two or three on the string. Even in the Junior Class play it was the same way. Jean just came back at the beginning of the second semester but the Junior Class wouldn ' t know what to do without her. Sidelines — Jean is the star athlete in the Junior class on the girls ' side of the record. She ' s good at both tennis and basketball. MARGARET WADDELL Margaret just came to Monmouth this semester so we really can ' t say whether she has a complex or not. So to be on the safe side we ' ll say she hasn ' t. We really can ' t tell you much about her except that she went to Tarkio a couple of years and that she comes from Nebraska. If you want to get better acquainted ask her to pass a few notes in chapel. She likes to do that. JACK WELLS Psychanalysis — Jack has a football com- plex. Holds down the job of captain for next year and deserves the position as a result of his consistent playing last year. Habits — He is another one of the in- separables. All of the college students on North 3rd Street set their watches by the time that Jack comes up that street before 7:45 and 1 :4S classes. KENNETH WELLS Psychanalysis — Kenneth has an insur- ance salesman complex. He goes to school as a sideline. The next best thing that he does is to sleep in Astronomy. About the fifteenth time Miss Winbigler caught him and said. Better move over by the window, Kenneth. I always said that nobody ever went to sleep in my class. GEORGE VAN GUNDY Occupation — George is the hustling busi- ness manager of this book and spends most of his spare time rustling ads., staving off creditors and keeping out of the way of the sheriff. Nickname — Waisons. Here ' s another one of Miss Barr ' s fav- orites. She ' s always asking him to say, How to have- a good time in Spanish. Guess she must think he knows Class of 1926 •McC M rNKy ■ H-Fk su oN V ts icK. Ji MfOJgoM COgdom Class of 1927 a v a - 5 ■£ o e o ? . X W e s bo c o 3 a j Q S E . £ K | 3 g s - o ' l « 03 I .

Two Mile Relay Team History repeated itself as far as the relay season was concerned. Taking second at Illinois, being beaten out by scant inches, and then coming back and taking first at Drake, besides setting a new record of 8 minutes, 10.3 seconds. The 2 mile relay team at the Illinois Relays was composed of Niblock, Work, Cline and Congdon. Congdon did his best to win for Monmouth at Illinois, but his best was not quite enough to make up the distance the others had lost. Cornell College won the event in fast time. At Drake five men were taken, Charles Niblock, Walter Congdon, Leland Cline, John Holt and Roy Mann, all very capable half-milers. Only two were sure to run, Niblock and Congdon, and finally Cline and Holt were selected for the other two places. The team was rather unfortunate in the drawing of positions being given the outside lane. Cline ran first and finished in about third position. Holt ran next and did well until just as he reached the finish, and Niblock had to take a standing start, thus losing quite a distance By a fast finish he cut down a considerable part of the leader ' s distance. When he passed the baton to Congdon the Cornell runner was twenty-five yards ahead. Walter gave Mon- mouth all he had and ran one of the fastest halves ever turned on a Drake track. On a fast finish he passed the Cornell runner and gave Monmouth a well-earned victory. The victory was as pleasing to the Monmouth fans present (who numbered close to 75) as to the team. It was also quite notable that they broke the record set last year. This year ' s time was 8 minutes, 10.3 seconds, an average of about 2 minutes 2.5 seconds. A wonderful record for a college team. 1923 Football Season Last fall when Coach Smith issued his call for football he found many veterans from the 1922 squad, but some were missing, among them Captain Glanville. When .Smith saw the new array of freshmen his thoughts of the missing were forgotten. In looking his men over Smith found veteran ends in Overton of the 1921 team, and Wells and Grabski of the 1922 crew. Hyink, of Des Moines, was another promising end candidate. For tackles, prospects were not so good although Doty was back in school. On the other side of the line the graduation of Scott made a great gap that would be hard to fill, but it was filled to the satisfaction of all by Forest Alpheus Lewis who found himself at a tackle position. As a reward for his services this year Brick Young picked him for the All State team. E. Smith was another able candidate for either a guard or tackle position. K. Wells who was injured during most of the 1922 season was out this year to win a regular position. Shaver, of music fame, was another good line possibility. At guard Smith found two vet- erans in McCaw and Douglass, both fighters and able linesmen. At first it was feared that the center position would be a weakness in the line due to the graduation of Captain Tom Wallace of the 1922 squad. When Jones of Loveland and Spears of Des Moines made their appearance all thoughts of weakness in the pivot position disappeared forever. In Jones and Spears Monmouth was to have two of the best centers ever to perform in the Middle West. In the backfield Smith found freshman stars galore. He found two promising candi- dates for the fullback position in Welch of local high school fame and Taylor of Newburg, New York. Both were small but had plenty of football instinct, and showed promise of making a name for themselves before the season was over. At quarterback it was evident that it would be a fight for the position between Graham of the Omaha hall of fame, and Van Horn of Loveland, as both, it appeared, had great possibilities. For the halfback berths it was very evide nt that there would be a great battle throughout the season. There were Gorom, Clark, and Mann, veterans, battling against a field of promising freshmen, with Beste of Taylorville and Molesworth of Washington, Iowa, leading the field. With this outlay Monmouth fans looked for a successful season and so it was from the very start, although the mud did stop them twice. With only two weeks to prepare for the opening Bradley game, Coach Smith found a problem in selecting his starting lineup. His final selection found Overton and J. Wells at end, Doty and Lewis at tackle, McCaw and Smith at guard, Jones at center. Van Horn at quarter, Welch at full, Gorom and Graham at the halfback berths. Others to see service in the opening fray were, K. Wells at tackle, Shaver at a guard berth, Spears at center, and Beste at a half. In the game Monmouth showed great possibilities for the comin g season, holding the veteran Bradley crew to a 7 to score. In this game Graham gave a great exhibition of punting when he was matched against Frederick, the Bradley star. Frederick did not have a thing on Graham because his punts were averaging over 50 yards, a sweet record for a freshman in his opening game. Welch ' s tackling was one of the many treats of the game. The line performed in splendid style and time and time again out-charged the veteran Bradley line. On the week following the Monmouth team taxied to Macomb to battle the fighting teachers, and so they were. This game might have proved a downfall for the local team had it not been for Van Horn coming through in the third quarter with a beautiful drop kick, sewing up the game for a 3-0 victory. On October 12 the local team appeared for the last game on the old athletic fie ld and made it one of glory by the fact that on this memorable day they defeated Eureka 26 to 7. The team in their first home appearance showed plenty of drive, which was so lacking in the Macomb game the week previous. Graham, the freshman star, of whom the fans had heard so much, played an excellent game. Johnny Clark had plenty of drive and grab- bed for himself two touchdowns. Graham got the other two. Jones at center perhaps played his best game of the year. His work in this game was very commendable. His tackling in the open was always hard and certain. Jones easily stamped himself as a coming star. The victory in this game can easily be summed up in the word drive. The team came out of the Eureka game in good shape and on the next Saturday took on Augie as fitting celebrators for Homecoming day. In the Augie game it ap- peared the team had lost some of its drive but at that they were able to come through with a 10 to victory. Augustana brought down a team composed of a bunch of fighting Swedes that were out for blood and it took all that Monmouth had to claim this well- earned victory. Lewis in this game played a whale of a game and proved himself a real menace to Augie ' s driving backfield. To Graham at quarter goes the honor of getting the entire ten points. Carthage was the next game and they secured great revenge for the defeat in 1922 when Monmouth won 7 to in a heated battle on our field. This year the game was played in a sea of mud and made it almost impossible for Smith ' s passing attack to come into play. Regardless of the great work of Gorom in the backfield who got away for a couple of fifty yard runs, Monmouth was defeated 16 to 6. The work of Spears and K. Wells in the line was about the only pleasing feature of the game outside of Gorom ' s open field running. Next week the team was battling Illinois College and it appeared to have returned to form but were only able to grab themselves a 7-7 tie due to the officials, whom even the people of Jacksonville claimed relieved Monmouth of two touchdowns. Monmouth ' s touchdown that was accepted was the result of Graham returning a punt forty yards for a well earned touchdown. The work of the whole team was much improved and it appeared as if they were coming out of their slump which they encountered in the Carthage game. The fans had a real treat in store for them when Kirksville Osteopaths appeared on the new field, but few people ever were aware of it. In this game the team had what might be termed a runaway as the final count was recorded with a Monmouth victory by a margin of 62 to 0. In this game Coach Smith used all his reserves and all played a remarkable game. In this game the team started on a scoring spree that was to last for three weeks. In this battle open field running was the feature. The longest run was for one hundred yards and there were many that went for fifty yards or over. Monmouth traveled to Naperville the week following and met Northwestern on their homecoming day. Sorry to say Northwestern ' s homcoming was disastrous as far as the football game was concerned. In this game the team rolled up a 42 to score. The work of Molesworth and Taylor brought them to the front as leading Red and White per- formers. After the game Coach Smith stated that if the team played the same brand of football the next week against Illinois Wesleyan as they did at Northwestern, local fans could look forward to a victory over the Bloomington crew. On Friday, November 23, all was dark and gloomy due to the gentle rain that was slowly turning the local gridiron into a lake. The rain finally stopped an hour before the game and the field soon drained due to the efficient draining system that is installed in the new field. Before the game had hardly started, Wesleyan scored and immediately kicked goal. The local crew then started right in to work and the result was that Clark carried the ball over for a touchdown, but the ball was brought back and Monmouth penalized fif- teen yards. Clark nevertheless on this day could not be stopped and he crossed the goal line again. The local team had carried the ball for over one hundred and ten yards without losing possession of it. Clark scored again early in the second half with a twenty yard run through the Wesleyan line. Late in the third quarter Monmouth scored again, this time by the air when Taylor shot a beautiful pass to Graham who was clear in the open, and he trotted across the goal line. When the timer ' s whistle ended the game, Monmouth fans were aware that the}- had seen one of the best football games ever played on a local field, and also played by one of the best teams ever to represent the Red and White on the gridiron. In this game the work of Clark was outstanding and to Johnny grjes a great deal of credit for winning the game. Overton at end was a tower of defense in the line and played a real game. Doty, McCaw, and Douglass each played star games and were at their best that day. The team was a team of stars playing as one. The line was charging and the backfield was driving. Early in the game Wesleyan found it was almost impos- sible to stop the fighting Monmouth crew. Monmouth in winning the 19 to 7 victory stamped themselves as one of the outstanding teams in the Little Nineteen. On Thanksgiving day Monmouth played Knox not on the gridiron but on a sea of mud. Knox outweighed Monmouth both in the line and backfield. It was so wet that day that Monmouth ' s forward passing attack was impossible. Coach Smith had planned on uncorking in this game, one of the most dazzling aerial attacks ever used on a Knox gridiron. But all plans were upset and Monmouth ' s backfield was too light to pound the heavy Knox line. When the game was over the score stood Knox 37, Monmouth 0. Mon- mouth ' s last game was disastrous but nevertheless Monmouth had one of the most suc- cessful football seasons in years. Only two men, Clark and McCaw will be lost to next year ' s team and Monmouth fans should expect a most successful season next year.

JOHN CLARK Clark will always be remembered for his great work in that Illinois Wesleyan game, in which he time and time again broke into the open for a good gain, or sometimes a touch- down. His work that day was the best open field running seen on a Monmouth field for many a day. John really found himself this year and carved his name in the Monmouth hall of fame. His place will be hard to fill next ear. John is the only man to graduate from the 1923 team . CECIL McCAW McCaw is of the type that is never defeated, thus he makes an ideal guard. McCaw can take more punishment than most football players. He was in every play, always giving his best and striving for a Monmouth victory. ROY MANN Mann was, early in the year, transferred from an end to the backfield i uc to his speed and ability to pick holes. Roy in his new position soon found himself and developed into a first class back. His work in the Kirksville game was sweet to look upon and stamped him as a coming star. DONALD OVERTON Overton in returning to school gave Monmouth one of the leading ends in the state. Jack always had plenty of fight and always gave Monmouth his best. Much is expected of our ends next year as they now rank as two of the best wing men in the state. The work of Overton was always outstanding and many times spectacular. JOHN WELLS Wells performed at end throughout the season, his work was always of first class caliber and he was one of the main cogs in our winning machine. In the opening Bradley game, John played an exceptional game. He is captain-elect for next year ' s team and it is sure that he will make an ideal leader. FRANK GOROM Gorom, due to his speed was a marked man in every game, but nevertheless was al- ways good for a gain in time of need. Gorom ' s open field running in the Carthage game was a real treat to Carthage fans. Frank always was sure to get his man in running in- terference, thus he was responsible for many of Clark ' s, Molesworth ' s and Taylor ' s gains. ALEX GRABSKI Grabski proved himself an able end and saw service on both flanks. Alex was especial- ly good on defense and never let anyone get around his end. He always fitted in smoothly with our forward passing attack and was adept at picking them out of the air. EDSON SMITH Smith was another valuable lineman that got into about every game. Edson is a faith- ful worker and if patience and work makes a football player, he will succeed. Smith played a real brand of football and performed both as a tackle and guard. JOHN GRAHAM Graham in his first year established himself as one of the leading punters of the Con- as well as an open field runner of ability. With a year ' s experience John is bound to give local fans a great brand of football next year. He had a great record in never having a punt blocked all year. ference. PAUL BESTE Beste was hindered throughout the season by injuries and was never able to display the ability he possessed. At that he proved a very capable utility man, and always wai willing to go in when needed. His catching of passes in the Carthage game was sen- sational. JUDSON JONES Jones came to Monmouth with the reputation of being of college caliber. Jud never failed us in the slightest. In his first year of college football many coaches picked him as the outstanding center of the conference and with men like Adams of Knox, Newman of Carthage and Stabler of Lombard as his opposition. It stands as a great honor and Monmouth should be proud to have athletes of Jud ' s type. DELBERT SPEARS Spears was bothered throughout the season with a bad ankle, but nevertheless he always played a great game. His work at center was always outstanding and he always got himself plenty of tackles. WARREN TAYLOR Taylor gained fame on the forward pass combination, Taylor to Graham, which was responsible for many a touchdown. Taylor hit the line as hard as any one on the squad. Taylor is another one of our freshmen stars that we expect more of in the future, as he was one of the most conscientious men on the squad. GEORGE VAN HORN Van Horn proved himself a quarterback of no mean ability, and when in charge of the team always handled it in a first class manner. Birdie came through with a beautiful drop kick in the Macomb game resulting in a Monmouth victory. Van Horn. like Gorom, ran good interference, and was a big help to the team throughout the season. CHARLES WELCH Welch was going great until he met that old friend, injury. Chuck had the mis- fortune to break his collar bone in practice, after he played a great game at Bradley. Chuck ' s tackling was one of the outstanding features, and fans then predicted a great year for him, but his injury put a stop to that. Welch was one of the hardest workers on the squad. FOREST LEWIS In Lewis Monmouth had a man of big ten caliber. His work in the Augie game on Homecoming Day was one of the features of the day. Fat played a good consistent game throughout the year and was always a big menace to the opposing team. Fat should be one of the bright lights of our next year ' s team. HUBERT DOTY Doty was one of those hard and willing workers that coaches always like to see. He was always able to open a hole for our driving backs. Monmouth, throughout the season, depended on off tackle smashes for their gains due to the efficient work of our tackles in opening holes. Monmouth was fortunate in having such a capable pair of tackles as Lewis and Doty. IRWIN DOUGLASS Douglass, though small of stature, easily made up for it with the old fight. He was always fighting and helping keep up the old pepper which is so necessary to a winning football team. If fight made football players, McCaw and Douglass would easily be of All America selection. KENNETH WELLS Wells was one of Monmouth ' s most valuable linemen, fitting in nicely at either a guard or tackle position. Although Kenneth did not play regularly all year, he got into all the games and his work was always commendable. At Carthage he played a whale of a game when the score was against us. Wells should win himself a regular berth next year. KEITH MOLESWORTH Molesworth came to the front in the middle of the season, and proved himself a star of great possibilities. His run of a hundred yards for a touchdown after catching a punt in the Kirksville game was a fine piece of open field running. Moley came through with three touchdowns in the Northwestern game. As a hint just watch the kid go next year. fj 1 . j «■ J M ' - - ' ■ ' ■■ si 3 U?5 i .- ' ■ («jk •.;■■■ . w ? 5 -i£ ■ m Z ■ H S 2 O tJU i ? ,--; £ - _ • B£AT ■ ' ' M GATIE.ON Th£,Punt ft c ? i J Th Ci owd TfcaBAND ' I . -- ■ _i ? i m ml In Action The6am j 1 A Touchdown no ■§„■ K-2 1923 Baseball Season The baseball season of 1923 can be called a success, due to the fact that the team won a majority of their games. When Coach Smith called out candidates for the baseball nine only three veterans answered the call. Capt. Albert Hamilton. Bob Hamilton and Glanville were the veterans to report. Smith soon found out that there was a dearth of batterymen. Thompson, freshman, seemed to be the only pitcher who showed anything at all, and Strand appeared to be the only able receiver. Pitchers were Smith ' s worry throughout the season. Possessing only one pitcher. Smith was forced to use both Bob Hamilton and Guzak on the mound. For the infield jobs Glanville, R. Hamilton, A. Hamilton, Douglass and Pickens looked the best. In the outfield Guzak was a sure bet, and other candidates who showed promise were Livingston, Doty and McBride. All the new men developed rapidly and Smith found them able performers. A regular lineup throughout the season found Thompson on the mound and Strand behind the bat, Glanville at first was a sure bet and at second Pickens performed through- out the season ; Bob Hamilton was a fixture at short and proved an able performer. At third sack we found another new comer in Douglass, but in his first year stamped himself as a coming star. In the left field garden Livingston got the regular call, and his work at times was quite spectacular. In center field we find a man of big league caliber in Guzak, one of the best outfielders ever to perform upon a college diamond. His general all round play brought many comments from all over the conference. In right field the hard hitting Doty got the call and there he played throughout the season. Then there was Capt. Hamilton, one of the best all around baseball players ever to grace a Monmouth field. Red was at home behind the bat, on the infield or in the outer garden. He played in every game, of course, but at various positions, and at all places handled himself like it was his regular position. The team turned in two victories against Macomb, and also grabbed a single victory at Parsons. The local nine split even with Knox, Augustana and Northwestern, and losing one each to Wabash and Cornell. So it is easily seen that the team met the strongest teams in the state, and set many of them down with defeat.

ALBERT HAMILTON Red was the utility man of the outfit. He fitted in ably behind the plate, at third or in the outfield. Although he was never considered as a slugger he came through in the first Knox game with a home run when it was most needed. His fielding was as good as could be expected from a college ball player and in graduation left a big hole that will be hard to fill in the 1924 nine. ROBERT HAMILTON Bob performed at shortstop throughout the season. He was always a dangerous hitter and a real menace to opposing pitchers. Bob had a good throwing arm and covered a world of territory at short. His fielding was generally good, and his work as a whole stamped him as a capable infielder. MERLE GLANVILLE Glanville was the fight and fire of the team. Always instilled with plenty of pep he kept the team on their toes. His work at first was spectacular. His fielding was sure, and he time and time again pulled down wild throws for an easy out. Merle was per- haps the most reliable sticker on the team. He always came through when hits were most needed. If Glanville had been possessed of a good throwing arm he perhaps would have been the leading first sacker in the Little Nineteen. GLEN PICKENS Pickens, while not a finished ball player by any means, fitted in nicely at the second sack. He got everything that came his way on the infield with ease. Pickens while not er was a reliable hitter, and generally got himself a hit each game. LAKE DOUGLASS At the hot corner we found Douglass holding it down in a manner that was pleasing to all. Douglass was a bear for work and found plenty of it at third. Douglass was a reliable hitter and generally came through in the pinch. He was good at waiting out the pitcher and as a result received many free rides to first. JOHN STRAND Strand was an able receiver and proved himself a catcher of promise. John is equipped with a wonderful throwing arm, and not very many opponents ever stole second on his wing. Strand ' s one weakness was with the stick, but in his first year of college baseball he had all that could be expected. STEVE GUZAK Steve was the premier fly catcher of the Little Nineteen. He covered more territory than two ordinary outfielders, and he had a whip that caught many cold trying to pick up extra bases on hits. Steve is a streak on the bases and also beat out many bunts down the base line. As a sticker he was always able to get himself a hit when most needed. Guzak pitched the last Macomb game through with a 2 to 1 victory. WILLIAM LIVINGSTON Livingston was another adept fly catcher and appeared in the left field garden reg- ularly. His work in the Knox game when he made circus catches, was one of the features of his playing. Bill was rather weak with the stick but made up for this by his work in the outer garden. HUBERT DOTY Doty was the Babe Ruth of the team as he collected himself several round trip smacks during the season. One of his clouts came with the bases full in the Northwestern game. Doty was not a sensational outfielder, but took all that came his way in the right field. LEONARD THOMPSON Thompson performed on the rubber in most of our games. His work was always good and he pitched many a good game for the Red and White. This was Thompson ' s first year of college baseball and he made remarkable progress in his opening year. He had a fast ball that had a good hop and a curve that would break. In the first Knox game Thomp- son let them down with three hits, and also deserved to win the second Knox game. 1923 Track Season Monmouth ' s track season of 1923 was quite successful, bringing about many victories. The track team last year ran up the notable record of winning dual meets, of which we have been so proud in the past. In the last five years Monmouth has lost five dual meets, and each year the team has had from three to five dual meets. The indoor season was opened at the Illinois Relays, where our two mile team made a remarkable showing, being beaten out of gold watches by scant inches. According to the Daily Mini, the Illinois publication, we find The two mile college relay was by far the most heated race of the day, and its end was most spirited when Xaused of Carleton beat out Congdon, the great Monmouth runner, in almost a dead finish. Monmouth ' s team at Illinois was composed of F. Niblock. McAllister. C. Xiblock and Congdon. The two mile team also took in the Drake wed their stuff then and captured themselves Relay. ' a weil at De Moine: ictory, The team really well as setting a new Drake record, and beating that previously held by Cornell when Bretnall of Olympic game fame was at the best of his college career. The same four runners that competed at the Illinois Relays com peted at Drake, and covered the distance in 8:10.5, an average of 2 :02.6 per man. A remarkable record for a college relay. The outdoor dual meets opened with Northwestern College, May 5, on the local field. In this meet the local tracksters were quite fortunate, and took an easy victory from the Naperville stars, 93y 2 to 32] 2 . This meet brought out many new men who would gather points as the season rolled on to an end. The meet also showed that the winners of the track events were of a little better caliber than the men of the field events. On the week following the local crew were scheduled to meet Augustana here, but a heavy rain on Friday night caused the meet to be cancelled. During the next week Mon- mouth competed against Knox on YVillard Field, and Knox captured a rather unlooked for victory when they tumbled the local team 74-52. In this meet the Monmouth field men were hardly at their best, and Knox gathered most of her points in the field and sprint events. When Illinois College sent a track team to Monmouth for a dual meet they sent one that was one of the best ever to represent the Jacksonville institution. But at that Monmouth copped a splendid victory by a good margin. Capt. Niblock ' s crew gathered 66 points, while the best Harmon ' s proteges could do was 51 points. In this meet the local team was undoubtedly at their best, due to the splendid time that was made in the track events were of a little better caliber than the men of the field events. On June 1-2 the team was competing in the State Meet at Jacksonville. On Friday afternoon the preliminaries were held, and Monmouth ' s men placed well. Mann qualified in both hurdle races, and both Niblocks qualified in the quarter. Saturday morning it was dark and cloudy, and about one o ' clock it started to rain, and the one hundred yard dash, in which Monmouth failed to score, was run in the rain. Swanson of Lombard was the victor, winning it in even time. The next event was the mile in which Monmouth placed three men, as well as set a new record. Congdon was first, Work was third and Taylor fifth. Congdon ' s time was 4:37 2-5. The two-twenty yard dash was the next event, and our sprinters failed to place. In the 120 yard hurdles Mann was at his best and grabbed a third for the Red and White. In the 440, C. Niblock came in second behind the almost invincible Rhind of Knox. In the two mile Thompson ran a splendid race and set up a record that will probably stand for y ars, when he covered the distance in 9 :56. Work captured fourth place after a good race. The 220 yard low hurdles were our downfall. Mann who was acknowledged to be the best hurdler in the state, had various misfortunes. After getting away to a good lead he hit a hurdle going around the sharp curve on the Jacksonville track. He soon got back his lead again and then hit the next to the last bar- rier and almost went clear down, but he recovered in time to place fourth. The time was very slow, being 26 4-5, which Roy had bettered in every meet last year. The 880 yard inn was a very thrilling race when Warner beat out Congdon in the splendid time of 1 :57 4-5. Walter had somewhat exerted himself in the mile when he had to run it in the mud and rain, the track being very heavy in places, and was not able to do his best in the half. In only one field event did Monmouth place, and that when Cook copped a fifth in the broad jump. When all the regular events were over, with only the relay to run, four teams by win- ning the relay would win the meet. The local team had the week before beaten the Illinois team, and for that reason were the favorites to win the classic. But Monmouth ' s relay team were undoubtedly not at their best, and Illinois College was the winner, after Capt. Fred Niblock ran one of the fastest quarters of his career trying to overtake the Illinois runner. Illinois College, by having 27 points was the winner of the meet. 21 of the points were made in the field events, where Monmouth only captured half a point. The meet was cer- tainly one of the best held in years, and many new records were made regardless of the heavy track.

With not a member from our 1922 team, and only one from our championship team of 1921, it was easily seen that the team would be composed of a bunch of green men, but who would progress rapidly as the season drew to an end. This year ' s squad was composed of three juniors, two sophomores and the rest freshmen, and it obvious that Monmouth will have a veteran crew for next year. Next winter Monmouth College will be able to use her new gymnasium, thus giv- ing her basketball men an even chance with other teams. Although the basketball teams have been using the local armory for the past several seasons, conditions have not always been the best, but nevertheless Monmouth has been able to put out successful teams. Coach Smith, at the end of the season, was able to put a team upon the court that would do credit to any school. The team was composed of a bunch of fighters, regardless of the score, and gave Monmouth their best, and that is all anyone could want. At the forward berths Graham, Molesworth and Lawrence, all freshmen, were Smith ' s best bets. All performed in splendid style, and all are of college caliber. These three yearlings should make a name for themselves on the hard courts before they leave Mon- mouth College. At the center position Smith used both Porter and Spears. Both were good floor men and had a good eye for the basket. For guards Overton and Saville got the call, and were able to take care of themselves in any game. Both performed regularly all season and gave all they had trying to bring about a Monmouth victory. Other players to see service were Douglass, McBride, Sands, Morrow, Mullen, Van Horn, and R. Graham. All proved themselves able to go in and play a dependable game. The local team, it may be said, had not the best of luck and lost some games by very close scores. All remember the two Knox games which were lost by a scant two point margin. The last Bradley game was another severe jolt losing it by one point. In looking over the entire season much credit must be given Coach Smith for de- veloping his green material into a smooth working college five. BASKETBALL SCHEDULE AND SCORES Burlington V. M. C.

This was due to the character of the opponents who were played rather than to lack of ability on the part of the team. A number of the matches were played with Conrey of Augustana, who is the state champion in the singles and has held that position for several years. Last spring the matches played were : Huang defeated Mahoney (Augustana) 6-0; 6-1. Holt lost to Conrey (Augustana) 6-2; 6-3. Ramsey and Holt lost to Conrey and Mahoney (Augustana) 5-7; 6-4; 7-5. Huang lost to Conrey (Augustana) 6-1 ; 6-1. Holt defeated Mahoney (Augustana) 6-3; 1-6; 6-2. At the district tournament at Galesburg the matches played were : Huang lost to Timm (Carthage) 3-6; 6-3; 6-0. Holt defeated Frisch (Lombard) 6-3; 6-0. Holt lost to Tucker (Bradley) 6-4; 6-2. Holt and Ramsay defeated Marsh and Bickford (Knox) 6-3; 3-6; 6-1. Holt and Ramsay lost to Allen and Timm (Carthage) 6-1; 6-2. In this district tournament Conrey of Augustana won the singles and Bradley won the doubles. Several exhibition matches were played last fall. At the Monmouth Homecoming, Con- rey defeated Ramsay 6A ; 6-2 ; and he also defeated Holt 6-2 ; 6-2. At the Augustana Homecoming, Conrey defeated Ramsay 7-5 ; 6-3 in a hard fought match. SiJrv T k I 1 B ■ 1 JL wR ■ Girl ' s Tennis Team The Girls ' Tennis Team had a very successful season last year. In the tall the Mon- mouth girls played Knox on the Knox courts. Monmouth came out victorious in both the singles and doubles. Last spring an intramural tournament was held. About forty girls were entered. Helen Brown who held the championship of the year before did not enter. Jean Rife won the tournament and by reason of this she and Helen Brown made up the team that went to Chicago in May where they played Northwestern College and Lake Forest Uni- versity. This trip was very successful in that our team won both singles and doubles from both schools. The fact is that it was not necessary in any match to play three sets to win. Brownie played exceptionally well and we are very sorry that we have lost her. Our team would have entered in the Inter-State Tournament last spring if the dates of the tournament and our May Party had not conflicted. This year we hope to have just as successful a team although we have lost Helen Brown. Inter- Mural Basketball Tournament This first Intra-Mural Basketball Tournament was a decided success. It was fostered by the Inter-Fraternity Council and the Athletic Committee of the Y. M. C. A. Under the rules arranged each team was to play every team one game and the two teams standing highest in percentage were to play the final game for the championship. The Phi Sigma Alpha team defeated the Xi Gamma Delta team in the final game 20-17. It was thrilling and hard fought. The Phi Sig. team was composed of Pickens, Mann, C. Hamilton, Clark, Van Gundy, Smith, Pringle and R. Hamilton. The Xi Delt. team was composed of Greyer, W. Taylor, Kruidenier, Root, Dixon, Findley and Holt. The standing of the teams at the end of the season was as follows : W. L. Pet.

We have endeavored to edit the best possible annual with the resources at our command. To the industrious and efficient Staff goes most of the credit for the publica- cation. In an annual of such an extensive scope, however, it is always necessary to call on help outside of the regular members of the Staff. Special mention should be given to Dr. McMichael, who contributed the descriptions of the new gymnasi- um; to Mr. Ralph Douglass, whose cartoons add so much to the brightness of this book; to Mr. Edward Wyatt, who hand-lettered the various panels so artis- tically; to the the various members of the Junior and Sophomore Classes who assisted in the sales campaign.

A constitution was drawn up and adopted, modeled after those in successful operation in certain other schools similar to Monmouth. This constitution provides for a student council of fifteen members, in addition to the regular offices already in existence. At the first election under the new system George Thompson was elected president of the student body; George Berry, vice-president; Charlotte Cummings, secretary; and Paul Ramsay, treasurer. While student government has not eliminated petty politics from student elections it has improved the system of holding elections. The student council first turned its attention to the work of correcting the de- fects in the constitution. The preamble was revised, the system of elections was improved, and several sections were reworded to clarify the meaning. While the student council has not been very active it has done enough to make itself felt in student affairs. The council is composed of the president and vice-president, class presidents and representatives, the House president. Forensic board president, student members of the athletic board, and the editor of the Oracle. It is the purpose of student government to co-ordinate the various student body activities in this representative organization. The Inter-Fraternity Council The Inter-Fraternity Council was organized early in the school year of 1922- 1923, by the four fraternities on Monmouth ' s campus. Its membership is made up of the two ranking officers of each fraternity and Dean F. W. Phillips, faculty advisor. The first council drew up a constitution and provided rules to govern the conduct of the fraternal groups. This year the council has proved itself to be a well established organization that has developed a spirit of co-operation among the fraternities. The present officers of the council are: Paul Warfield President Jesse Snodgrass Recording Secretary While not a part of the Student Government itself, the council co-operates with student government and has the same purpose — the regulation of campus activities.

The purpose of the organization is to provide an oppor- tunity for students to get in touch with men who have taken up Journalism as a career and to receive information and inspiration from them. This year the club held several luncheon meetings in Hawcock ' s dining room where they were ad- dressed by several local and out-of-town speakers. Prof. L. E. Robinson John C. Allen, Jr. . . . . .

As an organiza- tion it does not itself send out missionaries, but exists primarily to serve the Foreign Mission Societies of the North American Churches. The local band meets for prayer and study of problems confronting mis- sionaries and mission work every Sabbath afternoon at 3:30 o ' clock. The Mon- mouth organization has this year been under the leadership of Katherine Krui- denier. The members are: Linda May Collins Phillip Elliot Grace Fetherston Lois Gordon Emma Krey Margaret Jamieson Mildred Kiemele Katherine Kruidenier Robert McCrackin Maurice McCrackin Evelyn McKelvey Thomas Wild Marion Wilder Edward Wyatt LITERARY Men ' s Debate Season AFFIRMATIVE TEAM Monmouth College was represented in debate by the Affirmative team this by four very promising young men. The first debate of the season was with North- western College at Augustana College of Rock Island, Illinois. In this new method of debate the faculty of the college compose the body of judges. The decision of course was in our favor being 4-3. Messrs. Bowker, Allen, and Bundy met the Northwestern team. The Affirmative team journeyed to Jacksonville, Illinois to meet the Illinois College team. Jacksonville holds an ill omen for us and the score was 3-0 and not in our favor. Mr. Marshall Briley was the third debater in this contest. Undoubtedly the best debater on this year ' s affirmative team was Del Bowker. He has a smoothness of delivery that wins the sourest of judges. Mr. Bowker has a speech that is always up and going. He is noted for his platform action. This is Mr. Bowker ' s second year in intercollegiate debating. The second debater on the affirmative team was John Allen. Mr. Allen is a worker. He digs right into the heart of things. He leaves no stone untouched that might help in winning the decision. Mr. Allen represented Monmouth College one year before. Oswald Bundy was a new debater that no one knew much about but who was to make himself known. He came here with a little high school experience and demonstrated that it had not been lost on him. Monmouth is indeed fortunate that all four of these men will be available for intercollegiate forensics next year. For a freshman, Marshall Briley could hardly be excelled as a debater. He was well able to complete the strong triangle that was to represent Monmouth Col- lege. Mr. Briley received some experience in high school debating. Men ' s Debate Season NEGATIVE TEAM The negative team of Monmouth College represented the institution in a creditable manner. The team was dependable and capable. The season was opened by a debate with Augustana College at the Northwestern College auditor- ium at Naperville, Illinois. Unfortunately, the score of this first debate was 5-2 in favor of the Augustana team. The Illinois College debate held here in Monmouth was of a different result and Monmouth carried off a decision of 2-1. The Monmouth debaters com- pletely outclassed their opponents and showed what they were made of. Mr. Bailey is a debater that the team will miss next year as he leaves school after representing Monmouth in forensics for three years. Mr. Bailey has al- ways been right there with his stuff. He thinks deeply and clearly. What he says has force behind it. Muskingum College did a favor to Monmouth when she gave Mr. Elliot to us. Mr. Elliot won a place in the negative team that was second to none. He had a strong appeal and won his point by his clear presentation. He will be a strong basis on which to build next year ' s team. Mr. Hubbard is only a second year man but you would think he had been throwing words at his enemies for years. Unlike many of our debaters he got right in the thick of things the first year and in all probability will remain where the excitement is greatest. He has been a wise debater and a mean opponent from the opposing point of view. State Oratorical Contest The State Oratorical Contest was held at Mt. Morris, Illinois this year. Monmouth was represented by Paul Warfield, who won fifth place. The first three places were won by Northwestern, Augustana and Illinois Wesleyan, respectively. The winning ora- tion was on the subject of the Ku Klux Klan . Mr. Warfield ' s oration was on the subject, The World Court. We regret that Mr. Warfield was at a considerable disadvantage as he represen- ted Monmouth. Unfortunately, the intended representative had to turn over the contest to Mr. Warfield, who with scarcely two weeks ' notice produced an oration of no mean merit. Mr. Warfield will represent his class at Commencement exercises this year. His success is assured. James-Nevin Debate On Thursday, January 1 7, Philo and Eccritean Literary Societies clashed in the annual James-Nevin Debate. Philo triumphed over Eccritean this year. Del Bowker of Eccrit. was awarded individual honors. The subject of the de- bate was, Resolved: That the United States Enter the World Court as Pro- posed by President Harding. The three best debaters were picked to make up half of the college team. They were, in order of their rating, Bowker, Elliot, and Bailey. The James-Nevin Debate has been permanently endowed by the late Captain James and the Honorable J. M. Nevin. A prize of thirty dollars goes to the team winning the debate and ten dollars goes to the best individual debater. The contestants were : Philo— Willis Hubbard, Fleming Bailey, Phillip Elliot. Eccritean — Paul Warfield, Marshall Briley, Del Bowker. L 5 - ' o Jv ' jj£T £] JF 1 r Tau Kappa Alpha Tau Kappa Alpha is an honorary debating and National forensic Fraternity. A chapter was formed in Monmouth a number of years ago. Any man repre- senting Monmouth College in intercollegiate contests is eligible for membership. Members of the fraternity are: Dr. T. H. McMichael M. M. Maynard Fleming Bailey Paul Warfield George Thompson Phillip Elliot John Allen Willis Hubbard Del Bowker Marshall Briley Oswald Bundy Girls ' Debate Season AFFIRMATIVE TEAM The affirmative team of the girls ' debate squad scored a victory in each of their contests this season. The first battle was fought here on the home floor against Iowa Wesleyan. The score was 2-1. 1 he second debate was of a new type, being staged at Naperville, Illinois against Augustana College of Rock Island, Illinois. In this debate the members of the Northwestern College faculty made up the judges. The score of this de- bate was 6-1. Misses Cummings, Lant and Pattison took part in the debate against Iowa Wesleyan. Miss Anderson was substituted for Miss Pattison in the debate with Augustana. Probably the best individual debater of the team was Miss Cummings. Her speeches all have a strong analytical construction. She has remarkable ability at rebuttal. This is Miss Cumming ' s third year in college debate. The remaining members of the team represented the college for the first time. Misses Lant and Pattison had been members of high school teams. These members all show un- usual prospects for next year. Girls ' Debate Season NEGATIVE TEAM— The initial debate for the negative team this season was held at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, in opposition with Iowa Wesleyan. The score of this debate was unfor- tunately 3-0 in favor of the opponents. The last of the two contests which our negative team took part was held at Rock Island against Northwestern College of Naperville, Illinois. The decision this time was decidedly in favor of the Monmouth team with a score of 5-2. Miss McCrery was the best debater of this year ' s team. She shows all the good qualities of a first class debater. She has represented Monmouth for three years in intercollegiate debate. The Misses Liedman and Webster showed up remarkably well for first year debaters. They proved to have a pleasing stage appearance and forceful delivery. They were clear thinkers and consistent workers giving dependable team work. Neither Miss Liedman nor Miss Webster had had any previous debating ex- perience. Pi Kappa Delta Pi Kappa Delta is a National Forensic Fraternity. Its purpose is pri- marily to honor students for past achievements. In addition, the mission of the fraternity is to popularize forensics and to raise forensic standards. The necessary qualifications for membership are participation in at least one inter-collegiate de- bate. Twelve members of the fraternity are in school now. They are: Velma McCrery Charlotte M. Cummings Ruth Moore Mae Ferris Cornelia Settle Margaret Webster Kathryn Jane Dunnan Martha Anderson Ruth Lant Hazel Childs Jeanne Pattison Jean Liedman Misses Charlotte Cummings and Velma McCrery receive a Degree of Special Distinction for their services this year. Pi Kappa Delta has one hundred and three chapters. Women ' s Inter-Society Contest A. B. L. won the annual Women ' s Inter-Society contest which was held April 24th in the College auditorium. New interest was added to the contest by entries from the recently organized Freshman society, Tau Sigma Alpha. The Freshmen gave the A. B. L. ' s and Aletheoreans lively competition. The entire contest was unusually interesting. Each contestant was well prepared in her par- ticular field and judging was close. The program was as follows: I. DEBATE Resolved: 1 hat the Adjusted Compensation Bill as presented to the House of Representatives on March 1 3, should be passed. Affirmative — A. B. L Mary Wheeler Leila Anderson Negative — T. S. A Lois Henderson Helen Buck II. ORATION Our Women Mildred Kiemele, Aleth. Anglo-Saxon- -American Relations . . . .Florence Smith, T. S. A. The Power of Music Mora Jean Sillars, A. B. L. III. SHORT STORY Fatima Evelyn McKelvey, T. S. A. The Eternal Masculine Marjorie Smith, A. B. L. A Career Mary Swinney, Aleth. In debate A. B. L. eliminated Aletheorean in the preliminary contest and won the final from T. S. A. The oration was also won by A. B. L. with Aleth. second and T. S. A. third. The short story contest was won by T. S. A. with A. B. L. second and Aleth third. This gave A. B. L. a total of seven points, while Aleth. and T. S. A. tied for second with two points. Eccritean Contestants The annual Philo-Eccritean Contest is scheduled for the evening of May 28th in the College Auditorium. This year ' s contest promises to be one of the most closely contested for years. The Eccritean contestants are all men of experience and ability. Del Bowker represents Eccritean in debate. He has two years of experience in intercollegiate debating back of him and he was the leader of the affirmative team this year. He is a forceful speaker and has an easy stage presence. Paul Warfield is the Eccritean orator and has proven his ability by repre- senting the college in the intercollegiate oratory contest. He is also the Senior Class orator this year. His experience makes him a strong contender. John Allen is the Essay contestant and has the record of writing well planned and carefully considered essays. Mr. Allen shows a deep underlying force in all his writing. Robert White, the Declaimer for Eccritean, will appear for the first time on the College platform. He has had considerable high school experience in dec- lamation and won first place in the initial try-outs for Eccritean declaimer. Philo Contestants Philo Society is represented in the Inter-Society Contest by four of its most responsible members. Philo has been noted for men of substantial convictions and these men are no exception to the rule. Fleming Bailey wields the force of argumentation this year. He is a Senior with several years of experience in inter-collegiate debate and should prove a worthy opponent for Bowker. Lyle Finley is another Senior who represents Philo in Essay. Mr. Finley is a deep student of current affairs and philosophy and his essays are models of inspiration and logic. Irwin Douglass, although he has had no college experience, is an orator of no mean ability. He has a considerable reputation as a high school orator and declaimer and may yet come into his own. George Van Gundy represents Philo in Declamation. George has a con- siderable reputation for humorous declamations and delivers them in just the right manner that they may be best appreciated. He holds his audience to the end and makes them want more. The Intimate Strangers The Junior Class Play, The Intimate Strangers , by Booth Tarkington, was staged at the Auditorium April 1 8, 1 924. The play this year was marked by some of the best amateur acting ever seen on a Monmouth platform. It was also well staged and credit for the excellent directing goes to Miss Williams. The cast was as follows : The Station Master Frank Resner William Ames Paul Ramsay Isabelle Stuart Cornelia Settle Florence Jean Rife Johnnie White William Temple Aunt Ellen Margaret Webster Henry Raymond Dickson Mattie La Verne Murphy Rolland Essay Contest The Rolland Prize Essay Contest is an annual affair between Monmouth College and Dakota Wesleyan University. It is fostered by Mr. Rolland, an alumnus of Monmouth College and editor of the Evening Republican of Mitchell, South Dakota. The best essay of the six entered in the Rolland Prize Essay Contest is awarded a prize of $25.00, second best $15.00, and the third $10.00. Then the papers from each college as a whole are judged and the team having the highest standard receives a further prize of $50.00 to be divided equally among its members. Monmouth has invariably stood high in the individual prizes, but has never won the team prize. Miss Ruth Lugg was the Monmouth competitor who won the individual prize last year. The subject selected by Mr. Rolland for this year ' s contest is one that has received a great deal of attention ever since the Senate refused to ratify the League of Nations and the Treaty of Versailles. As officially stated, it reads: Does the record of the United States Senate in dealing with Treaties sub- mitted to it for ratification from the inception of our government justify the con- stitutional amendment, urged by the American Bar Association, which would permit the ratification of treaties by a majority of the votes of the United States Senate instead of a two-third ' s vote? MUSIC Men ' s Glee Club The Men ' s Glee Club, under the able direction of Mr. Glenn Shaver, has had a very successful season. The club has at no time had a finer group of voices, and it ably represented Monmouth College and the conservatory on the tour. Concerts were given at Viola, Princeville, and Hoopestown, Illinois; Richmond, Indiana; Dayton, Piqua, and Xenia, Ohio; Detroit, Michigan; Chicago and Somonauk, Illinois. The club was accompanied by Mrs. Phillips, accompanist, Parle Davis, solo pianist, John McBride, reader, and Glenn Shaver, soloist. PERSONNEL First Tenor Fred B. Ferris F. W. Phillips Paul M.

The Club enjoyed a Spring concert trip this year through Illinois and Iowa, giving concerts at the following towns: Biggsville, Illinois; Rotary Club, Monmouth; Washington, Iowa; West Chester, Columbus City, Newton, Des Moines, Allerton and Mt.

Mrs. W. J. Ralston, as representative of the Alumnae Chapter was the speaker. KAPPA ALPHA SIGMA FORMAL Black and white in all conceivable forms and guises — huge diamonds, unique striped effects curtaining doors, windows and corners, conventional panel work, dainty silhouette ladies with stately gentlemen for place card partners, unusual things of crepe rope from tiny nut baskets to great lengths of it setting off the min- ature stage, tulle frilled candles — this formed the setting for A Night in Paris , the Annual Formal Dinner of Kappa Alpha Sigma Sorority, given on March 22, 1924. During the dinner soft music was played by the Monmouth Four Or- chestra, who were costumed in black and white.

ANTHOLOGY ON GLOVES Gloves are important in the realm of etiquette because they are found on every hand. Personally we are keenly in favor of these trick gloves the girls twist around their wrists so that they look like something terrible has happened. We always want to wear gloves like that; but for two reasons we refrained, namely: (a) the lads in our Greek group wouldn ' t permit us, and (b) what is one to ask for in purchasing the things? But let us desist from fingering around generally and try to hand out some genuine gossip on the ettiquette of gloves. Did you ever know, for instance, that it is permissable to shake hands with gloves on if the gloves are mittens? Neither did we. It is the belief of that eminent scholar, Andy Gump, is it not, that it is inadvisable to wear gloves while eating soup, altho Gump qualifies this statement by suggesting leniency in the case of the Esquimaux, gloves and soup there, of course, in the igloos, going hand in hand. Another sign of ill-breeding is to pick the teeth in public with gauntlets unremoved. Here, too, however, there is no ironclad law. The elite will usually allow two exceptions : (a) In case overshoes are worn, do not remove the gloves when picking the teeth, and (b) if riding in an airplane, the gloves need not be removed unless there be a stirring east wind. For the convenience of the well dressed Sam, we offer the following schedule as to gloves : Monday, suede ; Tuesday, suede ; Wednesday, suede ; Thursday, suede ; Friday, suede ; Saturday, suede ; Sunday, suede. In some cases, it is probably advisable to substi- tute suede for suede on Wednesdays, especially if the day be sultry. Otherwise stick to suede. Finally, there is another precaution as to the etiquette of gauntlets: Never play jokes with gloves, unless, of course, they be kid gloves. E. B.
