III 19 2 7 R a V e 1 i n s Published by Junior and Sophomore Classes ' Past and to come seem best; things present rvorst. — Henry IV. Dedication To H. L. Hart, Athletic Coach, who during the past year has led Monmouth to a high and solid position in the ranks of Inter-Scholastic athletics; whose interest outside the circle of those especially prominent in athletics, with an interest and appreciation of all his charges, have had a marked influence upon Monmouth College Spirit, This Volume is affectionately dedicated Fo reworc Pliny says that the historian, Varro, having inserted in his volumes the portraits of seven hundred individuals, was thus the inventor of a benefit to his fellow men. The Ravelings is an illustrated history, not so much for the benefit of those whose pic- tures appear m its pages, as to make a more lively record of those characters and events to which Monmouth students and their friends will turn in years to come. There may be nothing novel in the scenes depicted here, yet to each old grad. they will have a significance sweetened by memories of college days at Monmouth, which, we trust will give an increasing value to the service for which this book is compiled. The true beginning of our end. — Midsummer Night ' s Dream.

One whose devotion to Monmouth College and to the students and members of the faculty with whom he came in contact during his sixty years ' connection with this institution as a student, senator, and instructor, will ever remind them of his upright character and inspiring personality. Dr. Russell Graham was born in Reynoldsburg, Ohio, February 24, 1847. His parents came to Somonauk and sent him to Monmouth Academy m 1865. He graduated from Monmouth College in 1870, and then Xenia Seminary in 1875.

She is popular with all the boys and is a member of the Girls ' Glee Club. LEVERETT WALLACE Washburn, Illinois Do married men make the best hus- bands? We ' ll leave that to Inez. Lev left the cows and chickens to come back and play football, and distinguished him- elf particularly in the Knox game. Lev keeps pretty busy, what with talking and eating and sleeping. HAROLD WALKER BradviUc, Iowa The girls were disappointed to find a large card marked, Reserved. No Tres- passing, hanging on Harold ' s back when he came here the first of the year. He at- tended Tarkio before coming here, and we wonder how Tarkio gets along without him.

When he isn ' t strollin , he drives around in an antique Ford built for two. We prophesy that he does his washing with a Maytag. DAN SCHAAF S ho oner, Wisconsin Dan is another of those quiet fellows who does his work well. He used to talk about the deers in Wisconsin, but seems now to be more interested in the dears of Monmouth. LORRAINE NOLLEN Newton Jo ' cva Nobody knows Avhat a red headed ma- ma can do, — and that ' s a fact, unless Deck does. Lorraine and the Maytag washing machines are from Newton, and they both are about as satisfactory as anything on the market. Besides wearing a pin. Lor- raine is on the Y. W. Cabinet and a mem- ber of several useful committees. CLARENCE BOSTWICK Dayton, Ohio This financial genius will some day be playing the stock exchange and holding the men of Wall Street spell-bound with his handling of large suras in stocks, bonds, etc. Clarence is working hard for his ed- ucation and we respect hi mfor that also. J. MARSHALL BRILEV Monmouth, lllin o is Marshall specialized more on forensics than in other lines and is a good debater, orator, and essayist.

PAO SEN YU Fukicn, China If you have any difficulty understanding your laundry bill, Pao is glad to help you but, she could figure out anything for she has a mind that runs on all six all of the time, and she usually keeps it well changed.

Renwick also takes campustry and seems particularly fond of library work seven days in the week. JOHN GRAHAM Omaha, Nebraska Jobnn dues not say very much, — maybe that means he thinks a lot. He is fond of football, basketball, and baseball. Serious trouble with his knee has kept him from the former two sports during the past year. Next year we look for him to live up to the name he has made for himself. THE RAVELINGS MONMOUTH COLLEGE WARREN TAYLOR Ncwburg, XclV York Warren did his stuff on the grid this year as captain of our championship team.

CHARLES HAAIILTON Langcloth, Pciuia. Chuck is one of our best baseball men, — although it is rumored that he thinks a baseball diamond is an engagement ring. He does some mighty fine work. He likes to display the latest in men ' s toggery and gets by big with Victoria.

Anyway, it gives you more time to study and Grace seems to be taking advantage of that. FANNIE SMITH Monmouth, Illinois Here is a girl who is very interested in men ' s athletics. Fannie is a quiet girl, ap- parently demure, full of fun, a good stu- dent and a charming acquaintance.

He earned his gold football in the Eureka game, and helped out in several others. He is now demonstrating washing machines and if we do say it, he may be able to make use of that knowledge sometime. ESTHER KNAUPP Garner, lozva We are very sorry to say that Esther is not in school the second semester of this year. She claims Iowa as the best state in the Union and just couldn ' t stay away. GRACE FETHERSTONE Moninoitth. Illinois Grace is one of the girls who conserve the conservatory. She plays the piano like Rachmaninoff, writes like Christopher Mor- ley, and wears a diamond. She fortunately likes to accompany baritone solos, or is it soloists ? EDITH FORSYTHE Albia, Iowa .

We went through the season without a defeat, but were tied twice. This placed us at the top in the Midwest and Little Nineteen conferences. This was probably the best team since away back in 1906 and 1907. For two years then Monmouth reigned supreme, not being defeated once. This year ' s team was known as 1 he Trick a Minute Machine , and clearly demonstrated this- fact in the Lake For- est and Knox games, two of the hardest on the schedule. During the first part of the year the team was slow to hit its stride. When school opened in September there were many aspirants out for foot- ball. With one of the heaviest schedules in the history of the school a squad of 52 men including 1 3 letter men answered the call. All prospects pointed to the biggest football season in the history of the school. Coach Hart had Capt. Tay- lor, Jones, Molesworth, Gorom, Wallace, R. Graham, Clark, Lewis, Smith, Douglass, Van Horn, Mann, Spears, Sutter, and Crowder, all letter men. This crew would have made a good team, but he had more material such as Rodgers, McBride, Irey, Sands, Dixon, Fletcher, Thom, G. Graham, Scott, Dekoning, and Barr. John Graham through injury which he received the previous year was lost to the varsity squad. In the Freshmen section under our new assistant coach Van Antwerp was a squad of 28 men which made things tough for the varsity all year and they will be heard from in the years to come. Due to a new Freshman rule Monmouth ran football on a two squad basis which proved very sucessful. After a couple of hard weeks of practice (Sept. 26) Hedding College came here for a practice game. The score was 12-0 Monmouth, played in a sea of mud which characterized all but two of the remaining games. Hart did not try to run up a score but gave his men a chance to show what they had. However, Hedding turned out to be tougher than was expected. D. Clark and Molie did the scoring. The next game was with Coe here October 1 0. Monmouth won 7-6. Both scores came early in the game, Coe kicked off to Monmouth, Taylor immediate ly attempted a pass. It slipped from his hands, Coe intercepted and ran about twelve yards to a touchdown. Coe kicked again and Monmouth shortly afterward on a series of passes from Taylor to Molesworth scored a touchdown, going three- fourths the length of the field. Taylor kicked goal but Coe had failed to do so. The rest of the game was a see-saw due to the muddy field. The entire team showed improvement, Molie and Gorom looked especially good in the backfield. The next week we won from Carthage there 3-0. We played in a cow pasture which not only slowed the game but caused some injuries because of the long grass and uneven ground. R. Graham ' s toe did the work from the thirty yard line. Molie was injured in the game and the loss of him hurt the team very THE RAVELINGS — 1927 M M W M MONMOUTH COLLEGE much because of his all-around abihty. The team did not play up to the stand- ard but learned some more football and managed to get over the hump. Car thage has always been a jinx for Monmouth. Mr. Sutter gave a banquet in Burlington for w inning the game. Augustana came here for Home-Coming and a tie game was the result. Augustana is also a jinx for Monmouth. The gang had not yet hit their stride R. Graham punted well and did some fine work in running back punts. Gorom showed up well m Ime plunging. Eureka came here for our next game and was smothered by the score of 20-0. The field was the dryest it had been thus far during the season but it rained before the game was over. The team came into their own this game. Van Horn played in Molie ' s place and ran forty yards for the first touchdown. Taylor later in the game clipped off a fifty-four yard run. The last few minutes, of the game were played by the second team and they came through in fine shape. Van and Taylor ran wild in this game, each making a touchdown. Gorom made the other counter. Interference, blocking, tackling and general team play stood out in this game. November 7 we went to Jacksonville and in a sea of mud won 1 3-0. The second string played most of the game. Molie saw a little action in this game, but his ankle was still weak. R. Graham was hailed as the Red Grange due to the way he ran back punts. November 14 after a big send-off by the student-body we journeyed to Mt Vernon to play Cornell.. This was probably the hardest game of the season because they had not been beaten for two years. If the field and weather had been ideal it would have been too bad for Cornell because statistics show we out- classed them in every department of the game except punting. If conditions had ' been any worse the game could not have been played. Taylor and Gorom came through with some fine gains. Taylor ran fifty yards once, only to be caught from behind. 1 he whole team fought hard and are to be commended for their spirit. Cornell by a fumble advanced the ball to the one foot line once but were stopped and never came close again. Because we knew Cornell would be tough we had arranged a rest for the following Saturday. November 21 we took the strong Lake Forest team into camp by the score of 16-0. We also stopped Folgate, the Red Grange of Lake Forest, who as yet had not been stopped in any of their games. In 14 plays he made 1 3 yards. On the first play of the game five Monmouth men hit him at once and he took the count. Gorom topped our team as ground gainer and his forty yard run was one of the features of the game. The whole team were at their best and it began to look too bad for Knox. In this game our Trick a Min- ute Team showed itself to be well named. Some of the second team saw ac- tion. We received some injuries in this game and things did not look so bright for us Thanksgiving- Page Seventy-eight THE RAVELINGS — 1927 1. . ft M HL MONMOUTH COLLEGE The annual Thanksgiving Knox- Monmouth game was next. Both teams entered the game badly crippled. In the first half after Gorom had brought the stand to their feet not much happened. In the second half Taylor opened up with a shower of well directed passes mixed with trick plays and pulled the game out of the fire. Monmouth ' s Trick a Minute Machine was iudged to be about as near perfect as it could be, and many fans said they had never witnessed any better football. The game was played on nerve. Wallace received a broken hand early in the game but finished it. R. Mann played with a bad knee, Molie played with a bad rib which he received in the Lake Forest game, and Jones still had a bad hand. Taylor played the game of his life with a bad cold on his lungs. Knox was also badly crippled and played under great difficulties. Taylor, Jones, Gorom and Lewis were chosen on many all state teams. Wal- lace was placed on the first all Mid-West team. Others were given honorable mention. We lose Mann, Lewis, G. Graham, Smith, and Douglass through gradua- tion. Jones wes elected captain for 1926 and fourteen letter men will be back to aid him in another football season. Fans backed the team in fine shape. Immediately after the Knox game a fund was started in order to buy gold footballs for the team Several banquets were given in honor of the team and Mr. Sutter sent a hundred dollar check from Florida for a blow-out. The team bought Coaches Hart and Van Ant- werp two nice stop-watches as tokens of appreciation for their work. The scores of the games are as follows : Monmouth Opponents 12 Hedding 7 Coe 6 3 Carthage 7 Augustana 7 20 Eureka 13 Illinois College Cornell 16 Lake Forest 12 Knox 90 Totals 13 Page Seventy-nine THE RAVELINGS MONMOUTH COLLEGE 1925 Championship Football Team LITTLE NINETEEN MID-WEST FIRST PLACE TIE FOR FIRST CAPTAIN AKREN TAYLOR Ncifhurgh. Nciu York Capt. Warren Taylor played half-back and called signals. He is a triple-threat man and the critics consider him one of the best passers in the midwest. Through his all-around ability and his cool headedness he was chosen to captain the first all-state team. He was also chosen for the second Mid-West team. Taylor has another year to play. FOREST FAT LEWIS Mnninoutli. Illinois Fat played his position of tackle for fuur ears. He was a stonewall on defense, a strong blocker and opened some nice bold on oflfense. He was the largest man on the team and was very shift) for his size. Brick Young thinks as many others do. that Fat was one of the best tackles in the state and Mid-West conferences. His shoes will be hard to fill in more ways than one. Fat. Ave hope, graduates in June. THE KAVELINGS — 1927 MONMOUTH COLLEGE RUSSELL RUSS GRAHAM Omaha. Nebraska Russ was just the one to fill the other position in the backfield. Running back punts was his specialty and time and again ends bump- ed together when they misjudged him. He was clever with the liall from quarter-back position and a good open-field runner. Russ has two years yet to play. FRANK ■•POP GOROM Lorcland. Cnloradn I ' rank [days full-back and was marked liy Knox scouts as the best full-back in the state and he proved to be a big factor in clean- ing Knox ' s meathouse. He is a good defensive man and a good line plunger and is fast and dangerous at all limes. On several occa- sions the last man stopped him. Frank vis chosen on the all-state team. KEITH MOLIE .MOLESWORTh U ' ashiiii toii. oiirt Alolie is another triple-tlireat man. Molie kicked well and not many of liis punts were run back for gains. He is a good blocker and time and again he took a man out at the critical moment. He is a good receiver of forward passes. Molie was handicaped much by injuries but he has another year to do his stuii ' . I i CAPTAIN-ELECT JUDSON JONES Lovclaiid. Colorado Jud was selected to lead the 1926 team because of his playing and his aggressive fighting spirit, which should make him an excellent leader. He was chosen center on the all- state team. Jud is an accurate passer, a good tackier and has the ability to size up quickly the opponents ' play and meet their attack. Some great things are expected of Jud next season. Page EiKhty-o THE RAVELINGS MONMOUTH COLLEGE DEAN CLARK Moniiioiith, Illinois Dean substituted for Irackfield. He lacked speed but was good line plunger, a good blocker, and fair on defense. He is hard worker and is much stronger than a year ago. AINSWORTH BODEY Dayton. Ohio Bodey was big and fast and developed fast, this being his first year. He was a good receiver of passes and good on defense. Blood poisoning stopped him when he was going his best. He will be with us next year. ALEX THOM Cliicago. Illinois A ex played end and was a fighter from beginning to end. He was a good blocker and strong on defense and was fast to recover wdien knocked down. He was down under punts in fine shape and few gains were made around him. His weak point is in catching of passes. Alex has two more years. LYMAN B. SUTTER Burlington, Iowa This was Sutter ' s second year. He was a hard worker and fighter, always consistent and dependable. He was strong on de- fense and a good blocker especially in coming out on interference. He was a smart linesman and always had his head in the game. Page Eighty-two THE RAVELINGS — 1927 MONMOUTH COLLEGE LEVERETT LEV WALLACE Washburn, Illinois After being out of school several years Lev came hack and played a nice game. Playing beside Fat made that side of the line almost impossible to gain through. He was picked on the Mid-West first all-conference team as a guard. Some one said he needed his wife to remember signals for him. He played the Knox game with a broken hand. Lev has another year. ROY MANN Kirkwood, Illinois Roy is a senior. He lacked weight hut was a good consistent, heady fighter. He was fast, strong on defense and especially strong on catching passes. By his speed few gains were made in ruiming back punts. He was more experienced than the other ends. Roy played a whale of a game at Knox with a bad knee. DELBERT RED EYE SPEARS Dcs Moines, onw This was Delbert ' s first year at tackle and he filled the bill in fine shape. He got across the line fast and Ijroke up many plays before they got under way. He was down under punts fast and nailed his man in his tracks many times. He was a good tackier and was good on rushing passers and punters. He is a member of the gang of 1927. V GEORGE BIRDIE VAN HORN Lovcland. Colorado Van was probably the best man on the squad rimning ends. He was a good line plunger and was strong on cut-backs but was a trifle weak on defense. Van was a hard worker and a mighty nice man to have around. He is a Junior.

Injuries kept him out of later games, the extent of them are not yet known. Sands is a Junior. ROY FLETCHER Dcs Mollies. Iowa Roy subbed for botli tackle and center. He passed the ball well and played good defense at both places. He was a hard worker and should do well next year. This was his first year to make a letter. He has two more vcars. GEORGE GRAHAM Mnniiinuth. Illinois . fter four years of hard and consistent work George made a letter. He developed into a fair open field runner and was fair on defense, being especially strong on intercepting passes. He is to be commended on his spirit of giving all he had. li every one had such an attitude, more people would amount to something. He felt it an honor to play the few minutes he did. He is a Senior. IRWIN DOUGLASS Sterling. Kansas Because of a broken finger, Irwin was thrown out of shape at the first of the season and was unable to play in any of the games. However those who saw him in action last year know that he would have been right in with the rest of the gang had it not been for this handicap.

Basketball 1925-26 Basketball was almost the exact reversal of the successful football seasou. Only one game was won. It was a dandy for more reasons than one. The big one is be- cause it was Knox. The team had no practice games before the schedule started as did other schools and they had the jump on us. We could not get the feel of winning and one change led to another in an attempt to better the team. We had practically the same team as in 1924-1925 and some old men back and then the freshmen became eligible the second semester, but the odds were against us. Remember though when you think of the season, that we had the toughest schedule in the history of the school, and the toughest of any around this neck of the woods. . ' Mthough we lost in score, the men learned a lot of basketball and watch out next year, for someone might get knocked off. We lose one man this year.

Welch, McAllister, Gorom, Van Gundy, L. Graham, G. Graham, Douglas, Smith, Aloles- worth, Sterett and S. Smith were on hand. An early track meet under Congdon and McAllister showed the men who would win points during the season. About this time Congdon made a new three mile record. At the Drake Relays Monmouth failed to place, their former record was broken bv the Haskell Indians, who ran the race in 84 :4. A] Work was badly spiked early in the race but finished it. Augustana came here for the first track meet and was defeated 89-37. Sands broke the high hurdle record, running the sticks in 16:2-5. The former record was 16:3-5, held by Ghormley.

Captain Guzak played center field. R. Graham and W. Davis ably assisted him in the outfield. C. Dixon was lieliind the l]al, C. Haniiltnn and Dickson bore the brunt of the liitching. Hamilton jiitch most of the lime, K. McBride pitched one game besides playing some in the outer garden. J. Graham held down first base iii fine style although his knee bothered him some. Smiley was a whiz at second and Taylor playing short for his first time filled it in pretty fine shape. Douglass covered the other corner and it is a luit one. H. Doty iilayed in the outfield and was used as a pinch hitter. Some promising freshmen stayed out all season and we will liear frnin tlieni later. One game with Coe was lost, it being tlie only defeat during the season. Monmouth held the undisputed championship of both the Mid-West and Little Nineteen Confer- ences. Captain Guzak, Smiley, C. Dixon, J. Graham and C. Hamilton were placed on a first all-confrence team, which shows we had tlie men. They all played almost errorless ball all season. Guzak caught some hair-raisers out in the garden, and Smiley saved a lot of trouble in his unseeming assistance at second base. C.

The only two victories of the season were won by Margaret Hunsche. One set was won from Northwestern and one set from Bradley. Yell Leaders Stewart Pringle, Howard Congdon, Lyndel Conreaux. and Charles Bisher led the yells at the games this year and it was partly due to the fine spirit these men worked up in pep meetings that the Student Body was able to back their teams to two championships. Leading yells is about the hardest job among the honor positions, as there are ahvays those who criticize and it takes real men to stick at it. Page Ninety-o f ¥1 THE RAVELINGS — 1927 MONMOUTH COLLEGE Page Ninety-two THE RAVELINGS — 1927 MONMOUTH COLLEGE Swimming Club W ' itli the completion of the new pool in the gymnasium there was born a desire for a swimming organization. The first semester was spent by the men in learning new dives and perfecting of their swimming and diving. A number of men became inter- ested and spent a great deal of time in the pool. Near the middle of the school year .• . call was given for tryouts for the swimming club. A series of events including fancy diving, under water swimming, oliject diving, and racing were outlined and all men able to show a fair degree of ability in the all around test were taken into the club as charter members. Nine men passed the test and these were made members of the club. The men were, Stuart Pringle, Walter Cork, Alex Thorn, Walter Congdon, Howard Congdon, William Scott, James Hill, Casper Fischer and Everett Bowen. Fischer and Bowen left school at the end of the first semester leaving seven men in the club. These men organ- ized, and elected Stuart Pringle as the president for the remainder of the school year. A constitution was drawn up and adopted and will serve as a basis for the future de- velopment of swimming in Monmouth College. The Club named themselves The Du be known In ' that The Dolphins were presented in their first public appearance in an exhibition during March and were very favorably received. They gave a varied program consisting of fancy diving and under water work, demonstration of different ways of swimming, life- saving, and some novelties. The club hopes to be able, in the coming year, to put swimming on a higher plane and perhaps be the nucleus of a college swimming team. The club is under the instruction and direction of R. W. Johnson, swimming instruc- tor at the college. Boxing Boxing was taken up at the college this year for the first time and a number of men signified their intention of joining classes when they were started. The classes w ere rather small to start with but later more men joined, . t the end of the football season a number of the football men came into the class. The men were given instruction by Mr. Johnson on the manly art of self-defense and it was not long before they were able to show a general knowledge of the sport. Only fundamental principals were taught and no bouts were engaged in during the year. Another year should show more interest and greater activity in boxing.

The purpose of the club is to acquire an appreciation of good drama, skill in acting and the production of plays, and to develop poise and the power of self-expression. This club was organized by Miss Williams, in- structor in Dramatic Art, at the first of the year. The dramatic club had charge of the Y. W. C. A. Christmas plays. The organization has also produced a monthly program of three act plays, each month since Christmas. The programs have been varied in the types of plays pre- sented, and much interest has been shovv ' n in the development of dramatic tech- nique. The officers of the Crimson Masque who carried on the work of the year are as follows : President Robert Downie Vice President Maurice McCrackin Secretary Anna Allison Treasurer Wendell Findley Reporter Florence Smith Program Committee Chairman Marian Templeton Page One Hundred Seventeen THE RAVELINGS — 1927 jk?s.f: ' : 1: .

The field of debates, hitherto inter-society and inter-collegiate, took on an international as- pect this year when a debate was scheduled with the team from Cambridge University, England, for October 24, 1925. Thi.s debate came altogether unsolicited and thus paid a high tribute to Monmouth ' s forensic reputation. Monmouth was represented by a picked team chosen by a faculty committee. It was composed of Marshall Briley, Edson Smith and John McConnell. Each one of these men were experienced in intercollegiate work and had shown their ability in the forensic art. The debate was on the question, Resolved : That this house favors Prohibition, and Monmouth upheld the affirmative. The Cambridge team which opposed the ques- tion was composed of Patrick Devlin, Geoffrey Lloyd and Michael Ramsay. These men were quick thinkers and fluent speakers and were characteristic representatives of the English System of Debating. The debate itself was most interesting for it brought out clearly the difference in the English and American systems. The American style — a very practical business-like pre- sentation of the case, backed by an array of statistics was successfully executed by Mon- mouth ' s representatives. The English style — characterized by fluent ' speeches, masterful use of the language, dry humor and subtle wit was effectively used by the English de- baters. The English style has been likened to the use of a rapier while the Amrican style is as a thrust and twist of the bayonet. The decision was arrived at by a dual vote of the audience, one before and one fol- lowing the debate. By changing the larger number of votes to her side, Monmouth won the decision. By far the greatest result of the debate was the interest it created in for- ensic work which lasted throughout the remainder of the season. Some twenty-five men entered the tryouts for the men ' s debate teams and of this number sixteen represented Monmouth in intercollegiate debates. This was the result of the institution of a new policy in debate work. Previously two teams of three each were chosen and they represented the college in all contests. But due to increased in- terest in debate the new policy was adopted and two teams were chosen from upper classmen and two from the lower classes. The first of the intercollegiate debates was the triangle with Northwestern and Augus- tana. The triangle this year was a no-decision open forum contest and this form of debate was well received. The question used was, Resolved : That the 18th Amendment in its present form is the best available solution of the liquor traffic, Monmouth ' s affirma- tive team composed of Robert Downie, Roland Wherry and Marshall Briley met the •A-ugustana team on our home platform while the negative team — Roy Doty, Edson Smith and John McConnell, met Northwestern there. The negative team also met Carroll College at Waueksha, Wisconsin on the same trip and lost in an expert judge debate on the same Question. The same team which defeated Cambridge — Edson Smith, John McConnell and Mar- shall Briley, made an extensive trip into Michigan and debated three schools on the ques- tion, Resolved : That Congress be empowered to legislate against child labor. They upheld the negative side of this proposition. Only one of the three was a decision debate, that being with Kalamazoo College. Here five of the Kalamazoo faculty were judges and rendered a 3-2 decision against the Alonmouth team. The other two debates were with Kalamazoo Normal and Oli vet College at Olivet, Michigan, and were no-decision debates on the same ciuestion. Monmouth ' s affirmative team on the Child Labor question — ' illis Hubbard, George Kopp and James Sterrett — met the negative team from Kalamazoo Normal on the home platform later in the season and won a 3-2 decision from our own faculty. The next debate was a triangle with Lombard and Bradley on the Prohibition question. Monmouth ' s affirmative team was composed of Willis Hubbard, George Graham and James Sterrett, and they received a 3-0 decision over Bradlev at Peoria. The negative team, Roy Doty, George Kopp and John McConnell, were not so successful against Lom- bard and in a clash over technical points rather than over the question, lost by a unani- mous decision. Monmouth placed second in the triangle, Lombard having won both her contests. The underclass debates were on the question, Resolved : That there should be a de- partment of national defense containing departments of army, navy and aeronautics as proposed by Col. Mitchell. Using this question, Monmouth entered a triangle with Whea- ton and Beloit. Monmouth ' s affirmative composed of Bryson, AlcCaffrey and Matthews, obtained the expert judge decision over Wheaton on our home platform, Alarch 20, The negative team, composed of Bryson, Eikelbarner and Beste, met Beloit there on Alarch 26, but lost to the single judge.

This year, contrary to past customs, Monmouth was represented by four de- bate teams rather than by two, for debate should not be used to develop two or three to become expert debaters but rather to develop an interest among a lar- ger number of people. Two dual debates were arranged for the teams, giving each girl a chance to debate at least once. The first debate was with Illinois State Teachers Col- lege. The affirmative team, composed of Anne Allewelt, Marian Templeton, and Grace Lendgren, debated on a neutral floor at Morton, Illinois, and suc- ceeded in winning by a large audience decision. The negative team, Ruth Roberts, Gertrude Beal, and Doris Fetherston, debating on their home floor, also received the decision. In the debate with Northwestern College an Open Forum was held, that is, there was no decision and questions are asked from the audience. The other affirmative team, consisting of Margaret Starr, Jeanette McCleery, and Mar- tha Anderson, debated at Northwestern while our negative team, consisting of Virginia Graham, Margaret Farrell, and Jean Liedman, debat sd at home. The last debate of the season was a single debate with Michigan State Teachers College, with Jean Liedman, Marian Templeton, and Martha An- derson representing Monmouth. This was a decision debate and unfortunately for Monmouth the decision went to the visiting team. Next year, however, a team from Monmouth will debate at Michigan, and it is hoped at that time for- tune will favor us. The girls ' debate season as a whole has proved successful not only because new debaters have been discovered who will be valuable material for next year, but also because additional interest has been aroused in debate. Pagre One Hundred Thirty-! THE RAVELINGS MONMOUTH COLLEGE Oratory Edson Smith brought a second state oratorical victory in two years to Monmouth when he won the Ilhnois Ora- torical Contest. Mr. Smith gave as his oration, The Spirit of Progress, and was much superior in thought and delivery to any other contestant with the exception of the Northwestern entry. The contest was held December I 1, and eight colleges were represented, including Eureka. Bradley, Augustana, Illinois Wesleyan, Illinois, North- western, Illinois Normal, and Monmouth. Northwestern placed second, and Illinois Normal third. The contest was virtually between Northwestern and Monmouth. Mr. Smith by superior thought content and masterful delivery was placed first over his close competitor. Northwestern. Mr. Smith ' s oration dealt with the thought of the modern youth, in which youth was defended for it ' s progressive attitude. For the past two years Monmouth has been awarded first place in the annual contest. Last year Robert Clendenin won the contest. By wmnmg first place Mr. Smith will represent Monmouth in the central division contest which will be held in Wisconsin on April 9. Inter-State Contest Edson Smith attended the Inter-State Contest and succeeded in winning the first place. This entitles him to attend the final National contest where he will be one out of six to compete for the final prize. Again we hope he will be first. Page One Hundred Thirty-eight m mm THE RAVELINGS — 1927 .:::A MONMOUTH COLLEGE The Ronald Essay Contest The Ronald Essay contest, instituted by Mr. Roy Ronald of the class of 1898, editor of the Evening Republican, Mitchell, South Dakota, was at first confined to the students of Dakota Wesleyan University, located at Mitchell. But about five years ago Mr. Ronald proposed that his Alma Mater become a participant. According to his stipulations the general subject covered must always be an economic one, his hope being that it would result in an aroused interest among students in this very important department of life. The specific subjects are proposed by Mr. Ronald and sent to the schools for approval. There are two sets of prizes as follows: $50.00 going to the win- ning team, each school being represented in the finals by a team of three who have been victorious in the preliminary at their own school, and an additional $50.00 divided into three individual prizes, $25.00, $15.00 and $10.00, given to the first, second and third ranking papers. Until 1925 the interest in this contest in Monmouth lagged. But a visit o n the part of the donor of the prizes and his appearance in chapel, at which time he made an earnest apjieal that Monmouth College take a more vital interest, together with the added incentive offered by the college authorities providing that all acceptable papers submitted would receive one hour credit, brought out eight contestants this year upon the subject: Some of the Economic Consequences due to our New Position as a Creditor Nation. Those chosen to represent Monmouth were, Marshall Briley, Herbert McMorris and Jack DeMichaels. Page One Hundred Thirty-nii THE RAVELINGS MONMOUTH COLLEGE James-Nevin Debate On Tuesday evening, January 12th, the Philo and Eccritean societies met in the annual James-Nevin Debate, The Philo team composed of Edson Smith, John Matthews, and Roy Doty succeeded in winning a two to one decision over Marshall Briiey, Robert Downie and James Biyson, who upheld the Eccriteans Ldson Smith, a member of Philo, was chosen as the best individual debater. The question debated was, Resolved: That the Eighteenth Amendment in its pres- ent form is the best available solution of the liquor problem in the United States. 1 he custom of choosmg three men from these teams to represent the col- lege in mter-collegiate debate was not used this year, thus giving everyone an equal chance to make the college teams. The James-Nevin Debate has been permanently endowed by the late Cap- tain James and Honorable J. M. Nevin. A prize of $30.00 is given to the win- nmg team, and $10.00 is given to t!ie best individual debater. The Forensic Board The Forensic Board of Monmouth College has charge of all forensic activ- ities of the college, including the scheduling and financing of all debates and any oratorical contest which occurs during the year. The work of the board was es- pecially heavy this year because of the increased number of both men ' s and women ' s teams. J his board is composed of a president, elected by the student body, and a repiesentative from each of the literary societies of the college. The personnel of the Board is as follows: President, John McConnel. The Board was very fortunate this year in having as their efficient leader, Mr. McConnell. Vice President, Marshall Briiey. Eccritean Representative, who is well known for his forensic ability. Secretaiy, Edson Smith. Philo Representative, who successfully arranged the men ' s debate teams. Manager, Deris Fetherston. A.

Aletheorean Representative, Marian Templeton, a valuable member of the Professor McGrew, coach of debate, was also a valuable aid to the board. Page One Humlied Forty W r ' THE RAVELINGS — 1927 .M: .

As it seems to be the custom, the last couple of years for Philo to win the James-Nevin Debate and Eccritean to win the an- ual contest, there is a possibility of the Eccriteans again being successful unless tradition is against them. Roland Wherry represents Eccritean in debate. He has had experience working on this year ' s inter-collegiate debate team. Although this was his first year of collegiate debate, Roland has a fine record in high school debating. Marshall Briley, who is the Eccritean representative in oration, has done excellent work for the last three years along forensic lines. In the essay class, Robert Downie will represent the Eccritean Society. He was also a member of this year ' s interlcoUegiate debate team and took part in the James-Nevin debate. Howard Jackson will be the Eccritean contestant in declamation. Al- though a freshman, Howard has already made a name for himself in dramatics. Page One Hundred Forty-i jig l ' .B!

John Wilson, who come to us from Tarkio with a record of achievements, represents Philo in oration. George Kopp, the Philo essayist, who advantageously happens to be major- ing in public speaking, will no doubt also be aided by his work in collegiate debate. John Matthews has to his credit a high school career marked with suc- cesses, and will further demonstrate his ability by representing Philo in the decla- mation contest. From the aforementioned array it is easy to be seen that the contest this year will be as interesting and as rife with competition as it has been in former years. Pagfe One Hundred Forty-seven THE RAVELINGS — 1927 MONMOUTH COLLEGE American Chemical Society Prize Essay Contest Each year the American Chemical Society offers six prizes of $1,000 each to be awarded to students of collegiate grade who write the best essays upon designated subjects, in accordance with the rules of the contest. In addition, the chemistry department of Monmouth College, through Professor Haldeman, offers three prizes of $25.00 each for the winners of a correspondmg local contest. This Monmouth College contest was judged for the year 1925-26 by the head of the chemistry department at the University of Illinois. First prize was given to Earle Davis, of the Junior class; second prize was awarded to Roy Doty, also of the Junior class; and the third prize was divided among three contestants: George Kopp, Senior; Elizabeth Kruidenier, Sophomore, and Harold Staley, Sopho- more. The subjects for discussion were, for this year, as follows: (I) The Relation of Chemistry to Health and Disease; (2) The Rela- tion of Chemitsry to the Enrichment of Life; (3) The Relation of Chemistry to Agriculture and Forestry; (4) The Relation of Chemistry to National Defense; (5) The Relation of Chemistry to the Home; and (6) The Relation of Chem- istry to the Development of an Industry or a Resource of the United States. It is the purpose of this essay contest, especially in Monmouth College, to encourage study of the practical application of chemistry to the affairs of a nation, and to advance practical chemical knowledge through the reading done in pre- paration for the writing of an essay. Most such contests are worth while, and. Professor Haldeman declares this year ' s competition to have been especially ac- ceptable and satisfactory.

The club was well balanced, the pro- gram effective, varied, and always interesting. Reports from the ports of call ' indicate everyone who had the privilege of hearing the club enjoyed the concert very much. Mrs. Grace Gawthrop Peterson proved to be an exceptional di- rector and the club ' s home concert was a triumph for all concerned. Many interesting features were a part of this year ' s program, not the least of them, the Minstrel Show, being absent from the printed program. Ruby Dennison again accompanied the club as xylophonist. Elizabeth McFadden was the reader, Margaret Graham the soprano soloist, and Margaret Jamieson the accompanist. Concerts were given at Biggsville, Kirkwood, Alexis, Coldbrook, Centralia, Coulterville, Sparta, Marissa, Bushneil, Illinois; and St. Louis, Missouri, (First and Third Churches).

During this time, we have seen the organi- zation develop mto a Band of the highest type, and for this the credit goes to the man who made it possible by untiring work and continuous ser- vice at all collegiate functions, when called upon. Unfortunately we lose John this year, but he has left a name for himself in many ways, not the least of which has been his cervice with the College Band, the best ever in 1926. In March the organization presented a Band Concert which is to be an annual affair, and this new procedure proved a great success. Grace Gaw- throp Peterson and Howard Jackson assisted in the concert which was pronounced a credit to any college by the ordinary students and those consrvatory critics who have more technical knowledge than the rest of us. May the Monmouth Band continue to do the work in the future that it has in the past. Those of us who were present at the memorable Cornell football game will never forget the gallant picture of that Red and White uniformed company which paraded in the snow and sang the Loyalty Hymn because their instruments were too cold to play; so, — Here ' s to John McConnell and the Band, and all honor for the work they did in the last vear.

Davenports are essential in furnishing the home. Countless uses can be found for them of which the owner has never dreamed. If you think she is dumb enough, tell her that the gas meter is a bank, and give her quarters for it. Care should be shown in using the lights. It is possible to do many things without lights, and thus cut down the bill. A suggestion for a breakfast menu includes toast, jam, coffee, and cereal. This is known to have been used, with variation, every morning for the length of a school term. And that ain ' t all — you ain ' t heard nothin ' yet!

It seems that it has ! j less appeal to the college man or woman than teaching, preaching, law or I medicine. Why? Possibly it is because success is not so rapid, or because they | J Feel that business does not hold the possibilities that the professions offer. ! i 1 ! SUCCESS IS SLOW ! { i The training for business is just like that of the doctor, the lawyer, or the | ? preacher. It takes years to train a good professional man and so it takes years i • . ... . j I for a business man to be trained to the point where he is worth much in the • 1 business world. The reason why so many business men come up in the ranks | j is that they are willing to stick to their jobs. The college man often feels that J i he is not getting anywhere, when he is really just in training for his job. ? i 1 I BUSINESS IS LOOKING FOR COLLEGE MEN j But it must have men who are willing to start with a low wage and go thru I the period of training to fit them for the job. Many of the big firms are tak- 1 ing college men and many college men do not stick to the job because the pay i . j is low and their education has equipped them for big things. If they could I only see that the big things are ahead! i 1 BUSINESS AS A PROFESSION I j It has come to the minds of many that business is truly a profession, and one ) for college men to choose and point toward. If the college man or woman had 1 this objective in view and knew some of the hazards of the climb ahead, they J would be willing to punch time clocks for a while — count bolts, or thump type- i writers as steps in their upward climb. j 1 WHY NOT LOOK FOR A JOB AND NOT A POSITION? 1 j If that job has any possibilites, it will become a position some day.
