With this in mind, we have attempted to carry out our idea of a year book, hampered as we are by material cir- cumstances, with the end of providing for the students of Monmouth College a true, official log of the events of the school year 1926-27. Wc do not pretend to proclaim to the world that it is a masterpiece among its kind. — that it is free from possible mistakes, — that it will never be surpassed ; at the same time, we do not propose to disclose the mistakes we have made, — if there are any for which we must make ad- mittance, — neither do we expect to apologize for anything contained herein. It is the sincere hope of the entire staff that within the covers of this, the thirty-fourth issue of the Ravelings, you may in years to come thumb through her time-worn pages and be carried back to the days when the class of ' 28 was working toward the creation of this volume. The Editor. ' The Ravelings — 1928 Dedication To you. Professor Goodrich, we dedicate this volume oj the Ravelings, for through you zve hare come to a realization of the ylory of Knowledge Von have held ever before us the significance of Truth. As a glorious example, you have in- spired us to follow its ray that zve may in later years merit that zuhich you so abundantly possess; honor, love, obedience, troops of friends. The Ravelings — 1928 Foreword The Junior Class presents this volume of the Ravelings as a record of the school year 1926-27, in the hope that it will be, in later years, a solace to the yearnings of the alumni for living over their college life again and renew their interest in the progress of their Alma Mater.

LOIS BLACKSTONE Office Secretary Page Twenty- ' The Ravelings — 1928  --, ,; . - classes Page Twenty- The Ravelings — 1928 Classes Everyone ' s college life begins in the Freshman class. It is probably right- ly named. In most instances, college life envelopes these people when they come fresh from their respective high schools. They are at that stage in life in which they believe themselves to be the conquerors, and that, with their proud, even perhaps blustering manner, college too can be subdued. But, in a few weeks they settle down and realize what they generally have failed to take into account, — that they must prove themselves if they are to in- spire confidence among their fellows and the upper classmen. The Fresh- men who get off on the right foot are well on their way. Those who do not, are seriously handicapped. By the end of the year, the characters that make up destiny of college life are fairly well established. The Sophomore year at college is often a troublesome one. It is often the testing year. Within its limits may be decided whether or not a person can keep his head and weather the trials of school life. Once sophistication lays hold on an individual during his second year at college it is hard for him to recover. The Sophomore who triumphs over the obstacles as they come is a long way toward success in college life. And then the Junior year looms up almost taking away our breath. It has come almost as if it had sprung upon us out of nowhere. It is hard for us to realize that half our college life is gone, — that two years have gone so swiftly, and we have only two years more. Oh! how we wish we had made the first two years count for more! But we can do a great deal in the two that are left. We learn much more about the members of our class, and become bet- ter acquainted with them as the year rolls ' round. Exams come — are over with, — and this fact stares us in the face : when we return to school in the fall we will be Seniors. As Seniors, the class begins its last year of school life. It is much smal- ler now than when it enrolled four vears ago. It takes up less than half the room in chapel that it did during the Freshman year. But it is not so much the quantity as the quality of this group that is of paramount impor- tance. The Seniors are the staunch, old pilots of campus life. They have been here longer than the others and the} - know that the responsibility i theirs. They have reached the time in life where they begin to realize how ill prepared they are for life. But they are ready to swallow this, along with the realization, which becomes stronger as the year wings onward, that they are soon to become alumni. Many hearts are heavy on commencement day. when the Seniors have completed the course of the Classes. Page Twenty-eight The Ravelings — 1928 FRANK C. GOROM LnvELAxn, Colo.

Piano Page Forty-five ' The Ravelings — 1928 RUTH NANTZ One of Monmouth ' s most pleasing fea- tures is her friendliness and Ruth is a star along this line. To one who knows her she is surely a friend worth having. KATHRYX FIXDLEY Kathryn is one of the girls that gentle- men prefer — and the college fellows like her too. She looks delicate, but look at the gang she runs around with ! We ' ll wager she can hold her own. She ' s one of our champion wise-crackers and rates like Clara Bow. MARION JACOBS This boy used to he hard on dormitory telephones (ask the girls). This we ' ll say, he has stick-to-it-tiveness. LOREN HAYS Baz is a Monmouth product and proud of it. He really studies and makes good grades for all his seeming frivolity. He spends his vacations in Chicago and has to come back to Monmouth for a vest. ROSS HANXA He is quiet and does not broaden his ac- quaintanceship very much, but is a good, hearty friend to those who are his friends. Patre Forty-eight The Ravelings — 1928 BERNICE SCHAFROTH Every once in a while we see Bernice go- ing places and she isn ' t alone either. Per- haps she makes up then tor her silence on other occasions. When quiet people talk they are listened to. We suspect he listens. She makes A ' s too. ELLEN ROOT The nicest thing about Ellen, — and that must be pretty nice, you know, — is the way she holds open house anytime. Ellen is everybody ' s friend and we rather suspect that we impose on her a lot. LOREN GRAHAM The boy with the curly hair. Any girl would envy him his hair. He can play the piano like Zez Cufrey and run like Charlie Paddock. Besides all this his grades aren ' t so bad. GLEN STANCLTFF Glen is another one who lives in the Sci- ence Building. Some day we think that he will be finding a 10th dimension, but just now he is too busy trying to graduate. He has such pretty hair ! ANDY GORDON Andy is one of the chuckling variety ; has a Ford, and calls everyone Pardner. He is one of the few fellows on the campus that everyone knows and likes. Pa - 1 Furty-ni The Ravelings — 1928 DONALD BAILEY Every Saturday morning we hear a honk honk, rattle bang and Don drives away from the dorm with a truck full of clothes for McMillans. Atta boy, Don! Let ' s have a Bigger and Cleaner Monmouth. (Note — ' Saturday morning isn ' t the only time that Don is out at the dorm.) KATHERINE LAWS If it ' s music that you want just ask {Catherine — she ' ll have it. Here ' s a girl we are mighty glad to have in our class. The typical Junior girl. Don ' t you think? LYNDEL CONREUX Lyndel is another of the Cardinal rooters. He showed his talent as a songster in the Minstrel and in the Men ' s Glee Club. Be- sides this he swings a mean tennis racket. LIETA CARRIS Even though she is a good manager, she must posses a tendency toward Bolshevism, for she seems to be very fond of red. FRANCES COLE Frances knows Ains worth very well (and it ' s not Ains worth, Iowa, either). Though she belongs to somebody else. still she is friendly with everyone. And oh, what a line! ' The Ravelings — 1928 DAPHNE BENSON Daphne has a pair of brown eyes which are never blue — and why? She and B. J. Palmer of Davenport, Iowa advocate the Keep Smiling theory. It seems to work for them. ONNALEE HAWES Onnalee deicided Dorm rules were too much for her so she moved out in town this year. We miss her a lot in the dorm. She can sing and seems to have a certain moving picture quality about her. LAWRENCE McVEY Laurence is rivaling James as a psychol- ogist. He is one of the deep thinking re- search workers in the Physics Department. Lie will no doubt be heard from if he keeps on as he is going now. ROBERT McLOSKEY Red just can ' t tear himself away from his dear old high school. It seems to call him back with a frequency not to pass un- noticed — every noon in fact. He is fond of his teachers (that is, his teacher) and is an intra-mural basketball star. LLOYD SANDY Lloyd is the kind of a boy that happens along in his Ford just as the dorm girls are commencing to be sure that they are going to be late for dinner — and compressed. He is also spending most of his afternoons in the science building. The Ravelings — 1928 LYLE MORROW Lyle eats, sleeps, and drinks Economics. Still, he doesn ' t look poorly fed so there must he something to it. He makes grades that others envy him for. WALTER LAWLESS If names mean anything — but they don ' t, for Walter is still in old M. C. He doesn ' t waste much time running around the cam- pus — but he does frequent the science build- ing in the afternoon. LOIS BRUNER The name Stoney Brook seems to have a particularly musical and restful sound to US, but of Lois had happened to be a delegate to a convention there this past year, we doubt if she would have bothered to find out if the name had any significance. DEAN CLARK The boys say Dean is a hard hitter , but they ' re speaking of tackles, not of baseball players. JEANETTE McCLEERY None know her but to love her, or name her but to praise. The Ravelings — 1928 DON BESTE Shades of Daniel Webster and Henry Clay! Don enjoys a good debate as most people enjoy Hawcock ' s mince pie. He is one of the few who knows enough to ar- gue with Robby — and he doesn ' t neglect his social life either. HOWARD CONGDON Since a preacher can use spirits only in case of a tech o ' sickness, and since he is progressing so well now, — we believe that someday the Class of ' 28 can boast of one good preacher at least. MARGARET WILLIAMS Margaret bids fair to become a future Mrs. Elliott — now Oswald, don ' t get ex- cited — we mean that she is a fine librarian. She ' s one of the town girls tor which Mon- mouth is famous. BRUCE BARR B. B. is one of our football stars. Thir- ty-two quarters in eight games is some record and we ' re proud of the Junior that holds it. ELIZABETH KRUIDENIER Elizabeth does her work quickly and ef- ficiently, so she gained for herself a place on the Y. W. Cabinet and in M. C. Campus life. Page Fifty-thr The Ravelings — 1928 EUGENE LISTER An actor who will make any play he is in. Some day we expect that he will be as great in other places as he is now in dramatics on the M. C. Campus. LAUREL STEWART Red is what one might all Flaming Youth considering the color of his hair. He is seen on the dormitory porch often and seems to enjoy himself there. CLIO McINTYRE Clio is one of the McQuistonites who believe in having a good time and ing too. She seems to like Johnson ' s eds , etc. study- ' malt- RALPH SPEER When in doubt call Hawcocks — and Ralph is waiting at the other end of the telephone with a chicken salad sandwich in one hand and a bottle of Canada Dry in the other. He ' s also able to tell you the chemical con- stituents of everything from a glass of water to a Mulligan stew. JANET WORK When she came back from Colorado Jan- et brought back a bunch of cow-boy hats. Whatever she may know about cows she doesn ' t confine herself exclusively to them, for she ' s one of Alaynard ' s best little old psychologists. The Ravelings — 1928 ROY FLETCHER Here ' s a man we like to see go into the game. He is a fighter for M. C, both on the football and wrestling teams. His name is a well-known one in the activities of the campus and the class. WALTER PAUL He isn ' t quick to jump at conclusions, but when he does set his mind to a decision he keeps sight of the end all the time; — this is as truly a characteristic of Walter in other activities as well as his manager- ship of this book. DORIS FETHERSTON Athletics ? She is a member of the Jun- ior teams. Dramatics ? Remember Sun- Up ? Scholarship? That ' s Sigma Omicron Mu. Leadership? Yes, you can say most anything for Doris. GERTRUDE TORRANCE One of the Freshman girls thought that Gertch ' s last name was Andel because peo- ple are always saying — and Gertch-an-Del. Gertch has a ready made line, is custom built, and swims like a fish. Nize girl? ELIZABETH HOWARD Lib and Red must have their Dix- ons (however differently they may spell it). Lib is one of those extremely capable girls with firm convictions. She is evenly con- sistent about everything she does and she does about everything. Pnse Fifty-fii The Ravelings — 1928 HELEX BRUNER One of the Bruner girls who hold forth down East Broadway — talk ahout your heavy dates. Chuck (for last name see a famous grape juice ad) takes care of most of her spare time. She is one of the few- girls who wear an M sweater. KENNETH IREY Besides being a Science Major. Kenneth was manager of our 1926 football machine the first to hold that distinction and be awarded the manager ' s sweater under the new student manager system. ALLAN McCASLIN It would talk, Oh. how it would talk ! Honestly, it makes about as much noise as it ' s Ford. But we like it — (car or boy?). RALPH PHELPS Ralph is a Chemistry shark and he makes the lab. his club hotfse. However we see him in the library quite frequently too, so chemistry isn ' t all he studies. HELEN ESTHER LIVINGSTON At the first of the year we wondered if we were hearing things, or if there really were two Helen Livingstons. We found out after a short time that there were two of them and we wonder which one of them was related to the famous missionary. The Ravelings — 1928 LAWRENCE RE1D Commonly known as Pie — we don ' t know where he got his name but we can guess from the number of times he visits Kettering ' s. He just came to us last year, but we ' re glad he came because he is a dandy basketball player. MYRA STICE Some girls are just born lucky and among them is Myra. It must be nice to have beauty, distinction, a good disposition, your own ideas and Lyman. SARAH MARY WITTE Sal is the original hard boiled girl, — has a mind of her own and doesn ' t care what anyone thinks about it. She has a line like the C. B. Q. — swift and dependable. Sal and John D. Rockefeller are very much in- terested in Standard Oil. HELEN BUCK Helen seems to think that her Survey course is one in correspondence. Maybe it is, but we wonder if it surveys a large enough field. BARR MILLER Although Barr ' s aunt is teaching Spanish we don ' t believe he is majoring in it. He is another of our budding young actors. With his experience as electrician for the Crimson Masque plays, who knows but what he may be a second Edison some day ? The Ravelings — 1928 CHARLES EVANS He is quiet, and precise, and frequents the Biology Department. He is interested in dramatics and helped select the class play. DORIS ARDREY You ' ve all heard about scattering sun- shine and saying it with flowers. Doris took charge of that line of work in Y. Y this year and she rivaled Old Sol and Mo- ther Nature herself. She is also an impor- tant part of the dormitory life as she is of the W. A. A. DOROTHY THOMPSON Dorothy just came to us this year from Grinnel, but we hope that she will stay. She has shown her exceptional dramatic ability by her acting as Mrs. Cagle in the Junior Play. She also pTays the cello like a professional. BEATRICE BAIRD Bee comes from the cleanest city in the state of muddy roads — see answer at the bottom of the page. The other important thing about her is that she drags around a diamond and spends most of her days hem- ming tea towels — or studying Greek — until the city-editor gets some time off. JOHN MEEK We thought John was a quiet, dignified boy, but did you see him in The Sweet- heart Game ? Oh, he was hard ! But we heard it said, some liked him thus. Pace Fifty-eight ' The Ravelings — 1928 MARTHA McPEAK Martha is the Sunkist Girl from the Golden State. She is one of the big-heart- ed kind that will do anything for anybody. She is thinking of not coming back next year but we hope she changes her mind be- cause we just couldn ' t get along without her. EVERETT STARK When the Norsemen stormed into Chesa- peake Bay they were looking for just such people as Starky. He ' s a S wede and proud of it — and he doesn ' t come from Minnesota ! Laff that off ! Everyone admits that Everett knows his groceries. MARY KISSICK Mary is a loyal Junior and the rest of us are glad we have her in the class. She doesn ' t say much, but still waters run deep and we would all enjoy knowing her better. EUGENE LAU Altho he came here just this year, this young man has entered into the activities of the school with great enthusiasm. He is a musician and we love to hear him play his guitar. PAULINE WHITEMAN No, this isn ' t Paul trying to disguise him- self. If it is he has done some tall reducing since we last saw him. Pauline left us for the wilds of Biggsville after the first sem- ester. Page Fifty- ni The Ravelings — 1928 LOU ARNOLD We ' ve heard of the sweetness and beauty of the Kentuckians and Lou certainly is no exception. CAROLINE SMITH If we believed in re-incarnation we would venture to say that Caroline was the gol- den haired lady who launched a thousand ships and made Paris what he was. But Caroline knows too much to do anything like that and is managing, instead, to grad- uate in three years. RICHARD HOLMES Dick is a Wisconsin edition — one of the West Allis delegation and proud of it. He is editor of this book. MARIAN YOUNG Another reason why Traer is a notorious town. Marion can parlez-vous with the best of them and is one of the people pro- fessors enjoy calling on. She also manages to take in most of the Phi Sig Parties. ROBERT ACHESON Droleness is usually thought to be a char- acteristic belonging to people quite past the age of youth, — and yet Robie has it, — al- though lie is considered quite young h some. — in fact too young l a lew. The Ravelings — 1928 ROSANNA WEBSTER Wonder what it feels like to look like a Madonna? Just the same they don ' t paint Madonnas with quite the twinkle in their eyes that Rosanna has. Perhaps she en- joys reading that College Humor with the rest of us. ROY BRYAN His friendly greeting of Hi ! Fellas ! may some day gain him friendships enough to permit him to follow in the footsteps of his uncle, William J. MARY WARFIELD Mary is a vivacious little thing. She loves to take pictures at the most inoppor- tune moments. She can play the piano like (the reader may supply the name of any great artist), and she can sing (for refer- ence see the Girls ' Glee Club). WILLIAM THOMPSON Can ' t you just hear some future Dr. McMichael saying, Dr. Thompson of the class of ' 28 will conduct our devotions this morning. Bill is one hard-working boy, and Pinckneyville is expecting to be awfully proud of him some day. RACHEL MARSHALL The Pi Rho Phi ' s pride themselves on being a stag gang — but we ' ll sure hand it to Rachel, she beat them one time. Three cheers — we always knew that one Junior girl was worth more than any ordinary fraternity. Page Sixty-im The Ravelings — 1928 MARGARET STARR Bible professors would have a hard life if it weren ' t for girls like Margaret. It must be nice to have profs, point at you and say , Now I know that you can tell me, and really mean it. Guess it pays to think. MAX RODGERS Max is one of the best all around fellows in school, with a temperment that matches his size. Didja ever hear him talk when he wasn ' t telling a joke? He has a nice squinty smile, too. EDMUND TUNSTALL Eddie hails from the East and tho ' many of us don ' t know him well, yet those who do say he is heaps of fun. DORIS FINFROCK Doris is one of our star basketball play- ers. We have seen lier in Anderson ' s Drug store, but don ' t know why. She is a per- son of surprise too. You wouldn ' t think that she ' d talk much. But she does. You wouldn ' t think that she was particularly humorous. But she is. You wouldn ' t think that she ' s a good sport. But she is. RANDALL HYDE He is a big, pleasant fellow, but does not get to come to chapel and so we aren ' t all very well acquainted with him. We do know, however, that of the Junior roll his rank is toward the top. Pat ' e Sixty-two The Ravelings — 1928 LOIS DENNISOX — And her violin. Here ' s to you, Lois, — may your fiddle mean success. MELBA WOOD Melba is to be seen waiting in front of chapel frequently and when one certain football captain appears she starts the car, with a smile. Melba is good to look at and has great artistic ability. LESTER ORR We overheard a girl on a train telling another girl what wonderful eyes Lester has. Ain ' t it the truth? If being cornfed has anything to do with it, the price of corn will probably be sky high by thi s time next year. ALEX THOM Alex is out to prove that he is a member of the stronger sex. He is a mighty fine wrestler and swimmer, if we do say so our- selves — as we shouldn ' t. And now we will let you in on a secret. Alex is a favorite with the picture show owners — he puts across the Aesop ' s Fables every time. RUSSELL McBRIDE We never hear him sing My Wife ' s Gone to the Country — nay — rather Call Me Back , — because he looks so lonesome this year. Page Sixty-three The Ravelings — 1928 STEWART McCLANAHAN Everyone knows him as Gns. He ' s the kind who greets others with, Hello, my name ' s McClanahan, what ' s yours? He spent a year in the windy city, but we arc glad to have him back again. HELEN LIVINGSTON Llelen could make A ' s if she cared to, but she is too busy with Oracle work and Greek. Don ' t think that she doesn ' t get good grades though, for she does. She can sing, write, or do almost anything that is asked of her. Helen is what we would call a popular girl.

Under the leadership of David Moore much has been accomplished in this direction. The members of the Student Council are as follows: President David Moore Secretary Doris Dixson Senior Representatives Renwick Speer, Jean Liedman Junior Representatives Donald Beste, Richard Holmes Sophomore Representatives ....

We have in our membership a great number of youthful Mark Antonys who combine social favor with scholarly class-room achievement. Among our members may be found the Freshman, Sophomore and Junior Class Presidents, the editor of the Ravelings, the editor- in-chief of the Oracle, president of the Y. M. C. A., eight out of eleven members of the V Cabinet, and one-half of the officers of the Student Association. In addition, last year ' s most representative college man was a Philo, and our college competitor in the national oratorical contest, Edson • Smith likewise was affiliated with our order. Philo may well feel proud in her history, too. Graduating her first alumni in 1860, there has been a constant, persistent interest in her accomplishments and ex-Monmouthites look back with pleasure on their former days in Philo. In those days the spirit of rivalry with our local forensic rival, Eccrit, was even more intense than it has been in the im- mediate past, and in the opinion of Mr. Clair Boruff, of our faculty, has died down more and more. In fact, twenty years ago, the rivalry could hardly be termed friendly. Our nationalization idea has stimulated the chapter, although we are only starting to feel this. Our reception of the delegates to the national conclave is a noteworthy achieve- ment. Our intercollegiate contest idea was a good one. We furthermore had the privilege of presenting Edwin E. Slosson, Ph. D., IX. D., a noted scientist. He spoke on the subject. Creative Chemistry . His lecture was well received and favorably criticised. With a former editor of the Monmouth High School Annual, an editor of the High School magazine, and several debaters, as well as noted declaimers and orators from dif- ferent parts of the country in our Freshman membership, Philo maj ' well visualize herself as a future red in the spectrum of intercollegiate forensics !

Eccritean went down in glorious defeat against Philo, by a 2-1 decision in a debate on Resolved: That this house pities it ' s grandchildren. We do pity them, we Eccrit- eans, who heard that debate, but not to be compared with the pity and tender sympathy we hold for our Philo brothers. Beste, McCrackin and s victor in the contest The spring contest promises to be a battle royal. Briley, White, will struggle for old Eccrit ' s honor. Last year Philo w 7-3, the two years previous Eccritean was victorious 10-0. The destinies of Eccritean have been piloted this past year by J. Marshall Briley, and Neal A. Sands. Both men displayed remarkable executive ability and to them as to no others goes the credit of making Eccritean what she was this last year. Sic Itur ad Astra — This Way to the Stars. Eccritean ' s glorious and inspiring- motto is a beacon light to all men who work and struggle for Eccritean ' s supremacy and honor.

During the football and basket- ball seasons they made their presence very much noticed and their pro- grams in chapel were a great stimulus to arousing pep on the campus. Since the organization is self-perpetuating and its membership is limited, those selected consider it a high honor. The members purchased uniform sweaters this year with the Monmouth seal on the front which added greatly to the stunts which the club took charge of in chapel.

There is no compact organization, but rather a loosely bound group who have a common interest and meet for the purpose of mission study and fellowship. This year they sent several representatives to the Milwaukee Conference, one of the largest international gatherings of its kind ever held. Delega- tions were also sent to smaller conferences, and several of the members helped to put on a play at Jacksonville, which has since been repeated by request several times.

In the closed programs of the club are presented plays of every kind — comedy, tragedy, and fantasy. Student directors are thus given an opportunity to direct different types of plays, to create various atmospheres, to experiment with lighting and scenery effects, and to aid others in portraying characters. One step in advance this year has been the production of plays with foreign settings. The Mer- ry Merry Cookoo is a Welch play while The Sweetmeat Game is a scene in a Chinese home. The members of the club receive the experience of creating characters and making them live. The Rider of Dreams, the only negro comedy pro- duced by the club, gave the opportunity of learning negro dialect and por- traying negro characters. Mrs. Thompson in Thompson ' s Luck was a cripple, mistreated by her husband and broken-hearted with grief. Pier- rot and Pierrette in Hearts to Mend were light fantastic characters. It is one of the desires of the organization to include among its mem- bers creators as well as producers and actors. Encouragement is given to those interested in writing plays. This year two members have written plays well worthy of production. Dorothy Gold wrote Manthus, the King , a play produced in an open program, and Charles Balcoff wrote Counter fiet. The Crimson Masque wishes to give dramatics a high place on the campus. Progress has been made toward this goal but at present the club feels the need of a large and well equipped building in which to produce its plays. It is the hope of the members that some day not too far in the future the old gymnasium may be remodeled and Monmouth College will have a Little Theatre of its own. The officers of the Crimson Masque for the vear were as follows : President Maurice McCrackin Vice President Donald Beste Secretary Rosanna Webster Treasurer John Wilson Reporter Jean Liedman Program Committee Chairman Pauline Whaling Advisor Miss Ruth Williams Page One Hundred Thirteen The Ravelings — 1928 Y.

The Board is composed of a President, elected by the members of the two debating societies, and a representative from each of the four literary societies of the college. The personnel of the Board is as follows : President Jean Liedman who is finishing her fourth year of intercollegiate debate. Vice President Gertrude Beal A. B. L.

Manager for Women ' s Teams Jeanette McCleerv Aletheorean Representative, who sheduled women ' s debates. Manager for Men ' s Teams John Matthews Philo Representative, who arranged men ' s debates. The Board owes a great deal to Professor Toussaint for his faithful assistance and co-operation. Pape One Hundred Sixteen ' The Ravelings — 1928 State Oratorical Contest Marshall Briley ' 27, representing Monmouth, won third place in the fiftieth annual contest of the Illinois State Oratorical Association held at Normal, Illinois, on February 18, 1927. First place went to Milton Dickens, a sophomore at Illinois Wesleyan University. Second place went to Her- man Brockhaus of North Central College. Prizes this year were gold, silver, and bronze medals. Mr. Briley ' s oration, The Human Harvest, was a denunciation of war as the destrover of the fittest human stock. This fresh subject was handled by him in a masterly way, his usual excellent delivery being at its highest excellence. The oration showed a great deal of historical insight and was exceptionallv well organized. Because we have won the contest the past two years it was generallv conceded that our orator was fighting the handicap of past success. Those who heard the contest feel that while the winners of the first two places deserved their good fortune, Monmouth was more than well represented ; and that in a contest in which nine schools were engaged third place is a great honor both to our orator and to our college. Hundred Seventeen The Ravelings — 1928 The Ronald Essay Contest The Ronald Essay Contest offers each year to the students of Mon- mouth College and of Dakota Wesleyan University of Mitchell, South Da- kota, an opportunity to write essays on a given economic subject. From tin- papers submitted, three are selected at each of these schools to represent it in the inter-school competition, for which prizes are awarded as follows: $50.00 to the winning team; and an additional $50.00, divided into three individual prizes of $25.00, $15.00 and $10.00, to the first, second and third ranking papers. The subject for competition this year was The Influence of Corpor- ate Wealth on American Politics During the bast Twenty Years. The three papers which were chosen by the local department of Social Science to represent the college were written by Lyman Sutter, Helen E. Living- ston, and Frederick Strong. The contest resulted last year in a victory for the Dakota Weslevan team; first and second places also going to them. .Marshall Brilev of Monmouth received the prize for the third best paper. This contest was instituted and is sponsored by Mr. Roy Ronald ' 98. editor of the Evening Republican, of Mitchell. The subject for competi- tion is selected each year by him with the approval of the two colleges con- cerned. Since its inception this contest has stimulated interest in various economic aspects of our modern life. Pane One Hundred Eigrhte The Ravelings — 1928 Women ' s Inter-Society Contest Aletheorean and Tau Sigma Alpha tied for first place in the Women ' s Inter-Society Contest which was held on the evening of March 14, in Philo Hall. By winning the debate decision Aletheorean received four points, while Tau Sigma Alpha won in Oration and placed second in short story, giving them four points also. A. li.

McKinley, the English Department offers each year two prizes of $50.00 each for the best two essays on desig- nated subjects. Last year the subjects were, The Nature Essay in Ameri- can Literature, and The English Drama Since 1900. Prizes for the winning essays on these subjects were awarded to Earle Dayis and Mrs. Margaret Buckey Graham, respectively. As the Ravelings goes to press five students are preparing to submit essays in this year ' s contest. The subjects set are John Galsworthy as a Man of Letters, and The American Essay Since 1900. Beginning this year a change in the system of judging the essays is to be followed in that they will be sent to competent authorities outside of this college community instead of being judged by a faculty committe as in the past. As before, the prizes will be awarded at the commencement exercises. Page One Hundred Twenty ' The Ravelings — 1928 The James-Nevin Debate Debate teams representing the Eccritean and Philo literary societies clashed on January 12th in the auditorium on the occasion of the annual James-Nevin Debate. Philo this year continued its series of victories by defeating the Ec- critean team. The three members of Philo who were responsible for this victory were Roy Doty, John Wilson and John Matthews. Donald Beste, Eccritean, was judged best individual debater, with Marshall Briley, also Eccriteam ranking second. Robert Downie was the third Eccritean speaker. The question used for the debate was in a little lighter vein than those of past years. It was, Resolved, That this House Pities its Grand-chil- dren. The affirmative case upheld by Eccritean sought to prove that the human race from a biological standpoint is degenerating. The Negative denied this and pointed out scientific, educational, and religious, and social advances that are leading the race to higher planes of life and living. As would be expected, a debate on such an informal question provided unusual entertainment for the audience, some of whom expressed the hope that questions of similar nature would be used in the future. The winning team was awarded $30.00, and Donald Beste was awarded $10.00, from the permanent endowment of Captain James and J. M. Nevin. Page One Hundred Twenty-! The Ravelings — 1928 Women ' s Debate Season Debating for women has commanded more interest this year than ever before. For the first time in history the women have debated two questions in one season; also for the first time in history, the women have had an honest-to-good ness trip, all of which has created a keener sense of enthusiasm than has been evinced previously in the forensic at- tempts of our women. A team composed of Jean Liedman. Grace Lendgren, and Gertrude Miller debated the affirmative of, Resolved: That the present system of trial by jury should be abolished. Under the skillful leadership of Jean Liedman this team invaded Wisconsin and began the season with two glorious victories for Monmouth ; the first over Carroll College, Wau- kesha, Wisconsin, and the second over Marquette University, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The only reason they failed to win another victory was that their third debate with Lawrence College, Appleton Wisconsin, was a non-decision one. The second question debated this year was, Resolved : That a Federal department of education with a secretary in the President ' s cabinet should be established. The first home debate for the women was held March 11, when Monmouth ' s negative team composed of Jeanne Pattison, captain, Martha Berry and Margaret Starr met North Central ' s affirmative team. There was no decision for this debate but Coach Toussaint was more than pleased with the manner in which the Monmouth team overcame the arguments advanced bv North Central. On the 17th of March, Monmouth met Normal University in a dual debate. The affirm- ative team debated Normal ' s negative on the home floor, while the negative team met Nor- mal ' s affirmative team at Morton, Illinois. The affirmative team, composed of Gertrude Beal, captain, Jeanette McCleery and Ada Streifthau lost to Normal, but this defeat was compensated by the victory of Monmouth ' s negative team over Normal ' s affirmative. The last debate of the season was held March 25 at Jacksonville, Illinois with the Illi- nois Woman ' s College. This resulted in a victory for Monmouth ' s affirmative team, com- posed this time of Gertrude Beal, captain, Jeanette McCleery and Anne Allewelt. All in all it was ' a season full of a lot of hard work and fun. If you don ' t believe the latter it ' s just because you didn ' t go to Wisconsin with Airs. Toussaint for a chaperon, or to Morton in the Toussaint Ford, or to Jacksonville in the same Ford — of you had — well, you ' d know that the girls really did have a good time. Five of the girls are Seniors and won ' t lie back to help the cause along next year. The younger girls will miss the capable leadership of Jean Liedman, Jeanne Pattison, and Gertrude Beal, as well as the able assistance of the other two Seniors. Grace Lendgren ami Anne A ' llcwclt. With Jeanette McCleery, Margaret Starr, Juniors, Gertrude Miller, Sophomore, Martha Berry and Ada Streifthau, Freshmen, to form a nucleus for next year, Monmouth should have another successful season. Page One Hundred Twenty-two ' The Ravelings — 1928 Men ' s Debate Season The two men ' s debate teams set a remarkable record this year by engaging in six intercollegiate decision debates and losing only one of them, at Beloit. In addition, each team participated in one no-decision debate. The subject of farm relief was used for debate this year, the question being Resolved: That the Essential Features of the McNary-Haugen Bill should be Enacted into Law. Home audiences supported the teams unusually well, especially at the first of the season. A feature of this season ' s work was a debate between the Monmouth affirmative and a negative team from Beloit held at Roseville before farmers and friends of that community. It is hoped that more of this practical application of debating can be carried out in future years. Work on debate was started eariy in December when preliminary try-outs were held. A selected squad of twelve men held bi-weekly meetings and practice debates until Christ- mas vacation when the squad was cut to the nine men who went through the season. Four worked on the affirmative and five on the negative. A great deal of credit for the success of the season must go to the two team captains, Matthews of the affirmative, and Briley of the negative. Each was a power to be reckoned with in constructive speech; and each, in the third rebuttal speech for his team, succeeded in clarifying the issues and summing things up in a way that put the battle on ice. Mat- thews ,who has two more years of varsity competition, is one of the most lucid and logi- cal debaters our school has possessed in years. Donald Beste, second speaker for the affirmative, was in every debate of his team and has one more year to compete. Roy Bryan, Junior, and George Kerr, Freshman, alternated at the first affirmative position and always opened up the case in fine shape. Robert Downie and Harold Baird were two strong men on the negative. Baird, who is a Freshman, promises to make a name for himself in forensic work. James Van Nos- trand and James Bryson, Sophomores, did some great debating at Augustana and will be valuable men for the next two years. We will surely miss Briley and Downie, our two graduating debaters. Briley, who has been a formidable debater here for four years, rose to new heights of skillfull debating in this his last season. Downie, the other senior, is an effective debater whom it will be hard to replace. Too much cannot be said in praise of the untiring efforts of Professor S. R. Tous- saint who is our debate coach. To him, above all others belongs the credit of the teams put on the platform, and to him also belongs the honor of their uniform success. Page One Hundred Twenty-thr The Ravelings — 1928 Eccritean Contestants On the evening of Monday, May 23, the animal Philo-Eccritean con- test is scheduled to take place in the college auditorium. Although the in- terest in the contest has been somewhat lax during the past few years due to the inactivity of the Eccrits, the occasion has never failed to bring forth a real clash of talent. Philo was victorious last year, hut Eccritean won the two previous years, so that neither society will have any room to let down in their efforts. Donald Beste will represent the Eccrits in Debate, and with a splendid record of two years on the intercollegiate team he will he an able man for Mich an important place. In oration the standard be arer will he Marshall Briley who placed third in the state contest this year with a splendid piece ot work. When it comes to essay a better choice could not have been made than Maurice McCrackin whose literal)- work has always been of a high order in this field. Harold White will take care of the declaiming with due justice, considering a good high school record and two years of college ex- perience. Pasre One Hundred Twenty-four The Ravelings — 1928 Philo Contestants Roy Doty represents Philo in debate and with three years of experience of work on the college team behind him, will make an excellent man for the place. Haskel Dyer, who has been editor of The Oracle the past vear, and has had an unusual amount of experience in literary work, will ably fill the position of Philo essayist in the contest. John Matthews, although only a Sophomore, has made an enyiable reputation on the platform, and because of his excellent yoice and stage presence will be one of the strongest men in the contest as he upholds Philo in oration. Donald Winbigler has the honor of being Philo ' s declaimer, and will undoubtedly do some outstanding work if we may judge from his excellent record in high school. Page One Hundred Twenty-five The Ravelings — 1928 POLE SCRAP Pane One Hundred Twenty-s The Ravelings — 1928 The Coaches The coming of H. L. Hart to Monmouth as Physical Di- rector ushered in a new era for Monmouth College Athletics. The standing of all teams has raised appreciably, and several championship and near-championship teams have been pro- duced. Since his advent, swimming, boxing, and wrestling have been added to the athletic curriculum. Intra-mural sports have also been stressed, in order to give every man in school a chance for bettering his physical self. Coach Hart has won a place in the hearts of all Monmouth students and friends. His ability and straightforward policy for clean athletics have earned the respect and love which he now commands. Monmouth is proud to have such a coach and man. When one speaks of Coach Hart, one also thinks of Coach James F. Van Antwerp. Here are two coaches, who work in perfect unison for the common purpose of bettering Mon- mouth ' s athletics. Van has proven himself a very capable director of basket- ball and baseball, as well as assistant in football. He, too, has won the reputation of a square-shooter in all his activities. Page One Hundred Twenty-eight The Ravelings — 1928 Football 1926 Coaches Hart and Van Antwerp developed a machine this year that was probably the strongest aggregation that ever represented Monmouth. Such a team was a credit to Monmouth, the coaches, and the players themselves. The schedule of 1926 was the hardest ever tackled. However, the team came through with flying colors, dipping them only once — and that to Coe by a score of 7 to 3. By virtue of these victories, Monmouth ranked first in The Little Nineteen and Central Illinois Conferences, while third place in the Midwest Conference was garnered. Fourteen letter-men and about fifty candidates started working for berths on the team early in September. Prospects certainly looked good, and after two weeks of bard work the season started. The first game was played on the Monmouth field with Wheaton College. It proved to be a walkaway for M. C, the score reading 55 to 0. This was rather unexpected and failed to show the coaches the weak points of the home team. Almost the whole squad was used during the game. The next encounter was with Coe at Cedar Rapids. This was recognized as the hardest game on the schedule, and the Red and White clearly out-fought the Coe aggregation until the final minutes, when Coe pushed over a touchdown that gave them a hard-earned 7 to 3 victory. This game was a heart-breaker and many injuries were sustained. The following week a badly battered team journeyed to Beloit, Wisconsin and handed them a 23 to 7 drubbing in spite of the fact that five Monmouth regulars sat on the bench with injuries. Three touchdowns and a field goal accounted for the Red and White ' s counters, while Beloit scored a touchdown via the aerial route. The Homecoming battle was played before a large crowd and was a thriller. Although the home crew outplayed the Blue and White, and gained almost at will, a counter could not be pushed over and Illinois led 2 to until the final two minutes of me game. Taylor was then sent in. despite his injured leg. and an 80 yard march was started which ended in a touchdown and a 7 to 2 victory. This game will long be remembered. The following week Augustana was encountered at Rock Island. It was Homecoming and the Terrible Swedes were out for blood. Monmouth was not to lie denied, however, and after a hard fought battle came through with a touchdown and a field goal for a 10 to win. The Monmouth machine was functioning beautifully by this tune. Cornell came next with a determination to avenge the scoreless tie of the previous year. The Red and White clearly demonstrated that they were the best outfit, passing and running the ends to a 17 to victory. The Monmouth wall could not be phased and everyone played a whale of a game. Coach Hart could well be proud of the perfectly- timed offense and stone-wall defense which his men displayed. This was probably the best game of the season. A game that pretty nearly threw a wrench into the machinery was played at Eureka. The Christians were reported to be weak, and the gang was probably over-confident. Eureka woke them up, however, when she pushed over a touchdown in the first period. The Hartmen then came back and vindicated themselves by winning 21 to 6. The remaining Turkey Day battle drew a large crowd in spite of bad weather. Al- though volunteers had scooped off the gridiron, it remained soggy and prevented spec- tacular play. Knox came over primed to knock off the Hart crew- but fell before good, consistent thrusts through the line. The M. C. athletes completely outclassed the Siwash in all departments of the game. The contest ended with Monmouth on the long end of a IS o score. This brought to a close a season which will be long remembered. In this game nine seniors sang their Swan song as gridiron athletes in a blaze of glory. Page One Hundred TVenty-ni: The Ravelings — 1928 Football 1926 ( Continued ) These nine seniors have done much in bringing Monmouth ' s athletic teams to the fore. It is with regret that we see Captain Jones, Taylor, Gorom, Molesworth, Wallace. Spear:,, Bodey, Sutter, and Welch pass on. Besides these men, Graham, Wilcox, Rodgers, Thorn, Barr, Fletcher, Buruside, Cork, Hetfield, Walker, Clark, and Cataldo received letters. With this crew as a nucleus .and with several promising freshmen coming on, prospects look very bright for next year. Monmouth was well represented on the all-star teams this year. In the Central Illi- nois Conference, Molesworth, Taylor, Gorom, and Thorn were placed on the first team, Wallace and Sutter on the second, while Bodey, Spears, Graham and Jones were given honorable mention. Brick Young ' s all-state team had Taylor and Molesworth on the first string. Gorom and Thorn on the second, and Wallace on the third. Bodey, Spears, Sutter, and Jones received honorable mention. In the Midwest Conference, a Cedar Rapids ' selection chose Mofesworth for the first crew, Taylor and Wallace for the second, while Graham, Gorom, Sutter, and Thom were given honorable mention. A Mount Vernon paper give Taylor and Thorn first string positions, Molesworth a second, with Bodey, Jones, Spears, Graham, and Gorom on the honorable mention list. That Monmouth ' s team is being recognized has been proved by the fact that Iowa U. has scheduled a game with Monmouth for October 1, 1927. This is a big advancement and means a lot for M. C. athletics. The team received fine support from the student body and towns people. The two pip chilis were largely responsible for this enthusiasm. At the Exchange Club Banquet, Coaches Hart and Van Antwerp were presented with M Blankets as a token of appre- ciation from the team. The Kiwanis Club presented the nine seniors with M Blankets. A new system of managers was inaugurated this year. Kenneth lrey received a man ager ' s letter as an award for his efficient servics. The scores of the games are as follows : MONMOUTH OPPONENTS 55 Wheaton II 3 Coe 7 23 Beloit 7 7 Illinois 2 10 Augustana I) 17 Cornell 21 Eureka 6 15 Knox 151 22 Hundred Thirty-i The Ravelings — 1928 ■£$■ Np « -e - jg ch Van Antwerp, Paull.

LaGrow The Freshmen Squad A great deal of credit is due the freshman squad. Thirty men turned out throughout the season and took the batterings of the varsity. Without their help, Monmouth could not have developed such a football machine. Little mention was made of their work, but it was certainly appreciated. Numerals were awarded to the following: Kelsey, LaGrow, Kinnell, Ramsey, Williamson, Williams, Owsley, Ogle, Burke, Rodeffer, White. Pogue, Paull, Worcester, Call, Lipp, Peterson, and Aten. Page One Hundred Thirty-two The Ravelings — 1928 State Champs 1926 CAPTAIN JUDSON JONES Center — 170 Jud was seriously handicapped with a broken ankle re- ceived during the summer, but he came through in fine shape. Later on he had a shoulder injured, and playeo anyway. That was characteristic of Jud ' s playing; lie never quit. His cool head, accurate passing, and ability to size up the opponent ' s plays made him an excellent leader and pivot man. We all regret to see Jud go. CAPTAIN-ELECT RUSSELL GRAHAM Quarterback — 145 Russ was the smallest man on the squad, but was a heady consistent fighter. He specialized in running back punts for nice gains. He was also a clever receiver of passes, a fair punter, and fared well in open field running. Russ was chosen as one of the two captains of the 1927 eleven. He will make a good field general for next year ' s rcew. CAPTAIN-ELECT ALEX THOM Left End — 150 Alex will serve as the other captain next year. He used his speed to good advantage and got down under punts in good shape. He was a good blocker and tackier and es- pecially strong on defense. He was chosen on several of the mythical teams. LEV WALLACE Left Tackle — 205 Lev was moved out to tackle this year where he used his 205 pounds like a veteran. He was a stone wall in defense, powerful on the offense, and got down under punts in fine shape. He will leave another hole to be filled next year. Page One Hundred Thirty-thr The Ravelings — 1928 DELBERT SPEARS Right Tackle — 180 Del was the tallest man on the squad and used his size to advantage. He was fast in getting across the line and es- pecially good on breaking up punts and passes. Red Eye closed his career at Monmouth by smearing everything that came his way in the Knox game. Del graduates this year. WARREN TAYLOR Right Halfback — 160 Taylor is another senior we will lose. Taylor is on the firing end of the much-feared Taylor to Molesworth pass combination. He, too. is a triple threat man. Taylor is a cool headed field general, and because of his all around ability was chosen captain of several mythical teams. AINSWORTH BODEY Right End — 185 Bodey was also unfortunate in having injuries. How- ever, he played in a majority of the games. He was fast, covered punts nicely, and was strong on defense. He, too. graduates with the crew of ' 21 . LYMAN SUTTER Right Guard — 175 Sutter had hard luck this year, and was out most of the season with injuries. What playing he did do was of high caliber. Lyman was a good blocker and could be depended • in for a hole. Me also leaves us this spring. The Ravelings — 1928 KEITH MOLESWORTH Left Halfback — 160 Moley is of the triple threat type. His specialty is on the receiving end of Taylor ' s passes, and he is an artist at this. His punts were well placed, and gave the ends plenty of time. He carried the hall equally as well. Moley made most all the all-star teams. He. too, will be missed next fall. FRANK GOROM Fullback — 185 Pop is considered by many as the best fullback in the state. He was fast, handled the ball nicely, specialized in plunging, and was always reliable in backing up the line. Frank played a whale of a game against Knox, gaining 98 yards. His 1SS pounds will be missed next season. SAMUEL CATALDO Tackle — 165 Sam returned this season after a year ' s absence. He was small but played a scrappy game. He was good on his feet, strong on defense, and got across the line fast. He is a sophomore. BRUCE BARR Left Guard — 195 Bruce stepped into this berth this year and filled it cap- ably. He followed the ball nicely ,and put up a strong de- fense. Bruce was a strong blocker and with this year ' s ex- perience, great things are expected of him next year. Page One Hundred Thirty-fi The Ravelings — 1928 DEAN CLARK Back— 165 Dean was a driver and hit the line hard. He was a good blocker and tackier also. Dean was nsed a lot this year and always gave a good account of himself. He will be with us next year. MAX RODGERS Guard — 210 Fat was called upon to fill Sutter ' s place and surely did it. He was hard to move and met everything that came bis way. He was also good on his feet for so big a man. He will fill one hole in the 1927 aggregation. ROY FLETCHER Center and Tackle — 180 Roy could fill either the tackle or center positions effi- ciently, and was called upon to do this. He was a good of- fensive lineman. Great things are expected of Fletcher next season. FRANK WILCOX Back— 170 Frank was fast and a terror at running the ends. He was a good blocker and was strong at kicking off. This was bis first year and next vear he ought to go red hot. Pajte One Hundred Thirty-s The Ravelings — 1928 WALTER CORK Back— 163 Jug got in quite a few games this year and tore off some nice runs. He was a strong defensive back, and a sure tackier. Walt is one of the best prospects for next year ' s backfield. He, too, is a sophomore. ROBERT BURNSIDE End— 170 Bob filled Bodey ' s shoes when Ping was injured. Al- though this was his first year, he developed rapidly into a good end. He was fast, and got down under punts nicely. He will be back next year. EWALD HETF1ELD End and Tackle — 180 Hap was the most versatile man on the squad. He was called upon to fill most every position, and performed well at all of them. Happy turned in his best game against Cor- nell. He will make a good lineman next year. KENNETH WALKER Back— 150 Kenny showed up mighty well for his first season. He was a heady scrapper, handled the ball nicely, carried it for some nice gains and punted when called upon. He will be with us next year. CHARLES WELCH End— 155 This was Chuck ' s first year at end, but he developed fast, and got his chance in most of the games. Chuck was fast, and a good open-field blocker and tackier. Chuck graduates in June. Page One Hundred Thirty-s The Ravelings — 1928 Basketball 1926-27 While not having a brilliantly successful season, Mon- mouth did recover from last year ' s disastrous record, and more than broke even on the season ' s games. Coach Jim Van Antwerp took charge of basketball this season, and soon developed a team that was much feared in all three conferences. The team ran up against a very hard sched- ule , and did well in winning nine games while eight were lost. Captain IVEolesworth led in the scoring department with a total of yj points registered in seventeen games. keid rated second place with 8 1 points, and Wallace third with points. Letters were awarded to Captain Molesworth, Wallace, Spears, Jones, Lawrence, Smith, Keid, and Hetfield. Two freshmen were awarded numerals for their services. Horner and Mohlenbrock received these awards and did some nice playing when they became eligible the second semester. We regret that this is the last year that Molesworth, Wal- lace, Spears, Hamilton, Lawrence and Jones will he seen in action on the basketball flour. Bernard Smith has been elected to lead the [927-28 crew.

By virtue of four Midwest victories, Monmouth finished in first place in the Midwest Conference, and also stood high in the Little Nineteen. Nine games were won while only three were dropped. The team was a heavy hitting outfit, running up a total of 126 counters to their opponents ' 61. Captain Chuck Hamilton ably shouldered the brunt of the pitching burden, rating with the best in all conferences. John Graham made a paramount first-sacker. Carl Dickson handled Chuck ' s offerings in nice shape, and few steals got past him. Taylor handled second base, while Mofesworth filled shortstop in fine shape. Lake Douglass took charge of the Ik it corner with scarcely a bobble. Kenneth McBride, Warren Davis and Russ Graham made a fine trio for the outfield and did some nice stick work. Russ Graham led the sluggers with a season ' s average of .404. Letters were awarded to Captain Hamilton, J. Graham, R. Graham, Taylor, Moles- worth, Douglass, Dickson, Davis, McBride and Mitzie. Douglass, McBride and Davis were lost by graduation. Their absence will be felt. John Graham was unanimously chosen to lead next year ' s team.

Coach Hart developed a well-balanced team which made a good record during the season. A me dley relay team was sent to the Illinois Relays, but they failed to place. This team was composed of Congdon, G. Graham, N. Wilson, and Lee. Monmouth was also represented at Drake by a medley team but was beaten out of a place by a close margin. Congdon, Mann, A. Wilson and Davis ran this race. The first dual meet was held April 2,3 with Macomb. The M. C. athletes amassed a total of 86 2 points to Macomb ' s 39] 2 . The Warren County Prep Meet was held the same day under the auspices of the college. Roseville won this meet with 37l- 2 points. The team then journeyed to Jacksonville where it took Illinois College into camp 60] 2 to 50 after a hard fight. The strong Knox outfit was the next opponent and after a close contest finally won out 71 1-3 to 52 2-3. This was the only meet that was lost. A triangular meet was then held on the local track. Monmouth again triumphed, scoring more points than both her opponents. The score read ; Monmouth 84, Carthage SS, Augustana 22. The boys ran wild in this meet, four records going to the discard. Monmouth placed fourth in the state meet. Mann won the low hurdles and took fourth in the high hurdles. Congdon placed second in the mile, Thorn second in the hundred, Graham third in the two mile, and Mcintosh tied for third in the pole vault. Davis pulled a muscle and failed to place. A badly-crippled team entered the Midwest meet. Davis, Whiteman, Thorn, and Wil- cox were out with injuries. However, 21 4 points were scored for fourth place. Mcin- tosh tied in the high jump at 6 feet to set a Midwest record, and also tied for first in tliL ' pole vault. Roy Mann took second in the low hurdles, third in the 440, and fourth in the javelin. Congdon counted 8 points with a first in the mile and second in the 880, while Graham placed fourth in the two mile.

The Dolphin Club took in Call, Bellis, Law, and Mcintosh as new members and several exhibitions have been planned by this organization. Howard Congdon was elected president of the club. An inter-class swimming meet was staged this year for the first time. The Freshmen won the meet with the Juniors, Sophomores, and Seniors following in order. A team was entered at the Central Illinois Conference meet. Mcintosh, Thorn, and Congdon were entered in the free style, Bellis and Call in the dives, Bellis and Lau in the breast stroke, and Hyde in the back stroke. Hyde was the only man to place for Monmouth, and that a fourth. Men ' s Tennis The tennis season was marked by only fair success. Monmouth was represented by Ernest Lukens, Charles Lawrence, and Henry Leitman. The doubles team was not de- feated all season, chalking up victories over Coe. Knox, and Augustana, and winning the district tournament held at Galesburg. The team also won part of the singles matches. A more extensive program is planned for the coming season. Leitman and Lukens were lost by graduation. Boxing Instruction was also given in the art of self defense. Although a team was not formed, a number turned out regularly for practice and learned the fudamentals of the game. Another year should find greater interest in this sport.

Last year, through the efforts of the Spriggs and Bradshaw Drug Company, a cup was secured for a Monmouth athlete. According to the rules of the contest, which were set down by the Nor- ris Candy Company, the student body voted and the faculty selected one of the three men who carried the highest number of votes. The 1926 cup was won by Roy Mann, who certainly deserved it. Roy was a member of Monmouth ' s football team, lie also holds the college records for the 220 low hurdles ami the javelin throw. Besides being a stellar athlete, Roy ' was a good student and a clean sportsman of whom Monmouth is proud.

The purpose of the organization has been to promote the health education of the women of Monmouth College. 1. By means of encouragement in the formation of health habits. 2. By the promotion of interest and participation in games and all forms of physical activity which makes for health and efficiency. Membership in the organization is open to all undergraduate women of Monmouth who maintain an average of C in their classroom work, and whose names have been approved by the Advisory Board of the organization. This board consists of eleven girls who are leaders in their type of sports, and the coach of women ' s athletics, who is a member of the faculty of the college. Awards are made by the association to all women who are members of the associa- tion and who have succeeded in earning by participation in a certain number of athletic activities enough points to warrant the award. This year sweaters have been awarded to two of the senior members of the organization, who have each earned fifteen hundred points. These seniors, Gertrude Beal and Edith Forsythe, are the third and fourth girls to have received the award of a sweater, two being awarded to seniors last year. The association has done a great deal of good in aiding the progress of women ' s sports in Monmouth and with our hearty aid and co-operation the W. A. A. is sure of a still greater advance this next year and in the years to come. The officers for the past yea r have been : President Elizabeth Howard Vice President Rosanna Webster Secretary Doris Ardrey Treasurer Iva Stevenson The department heads have been : Hockey— .Martha McPeak ; Basketball— EdiCh Forsythe; Baseball— Gertrude Miller; Tennis— Gertrude Beal; Hiking— Ruth Roberts; Swimming— Alice Graham; Track— Bea- trice Harkins. Page One Hundred Forty-: The Ravelings — 1928 Women ' s Athletics Everv day in every way, we are getting more women ' s sports and more women ' s sports. Women ' s athletics are on the upward trail to fame and prominence. The greatest change this year has been the organization of swimming, tennis, and base-ball. Who knows but that we may have a Gertrude Ederle biding her light in the darkness of the college? The swimming department has done its best this year to develop all this hidden talent. The two day meet that was held at the end of April is a satisfactory proof of the sincere effort that has been expended along this line. The meet, consisting of exhibitions of diving, life-saving, strokes, and endurance was, we hope, only the begin ning of work along this line. The women have seen the great field of op- portunity that has to be conquered and they are doing their best to do it. The interest in tennis this year has been magnified by the fact that regular classes in instruction in this sport have been organized for all as- piring beginners. The classes were full to overflowing. The tennis team which has represented the college this year was picked by an intensely in- teresting elimination tournament, in which everyone with any ability made it her duty to take part. Baseball, too, has claimed a large share of the attention of the women of the college who are athletically inclined. A very instructive series of games took place between the teams representing the different classes. These games would have proved a valuable source of information to all the men of the baseball team who took time to attend them, for they were an exhibi- tion of the finer points of the game. omen s athletics have been a huge success this vear.

On Saturday, January 15, the first round of the inter-class tournament was played off. The Seniors defeated the Juniors by a score of 28-s, and the Sophomores defeated the Freshmen by a score of [5-14. On Saturday, January 22, the second round was played off and the Sophomores were successful in defeating the Seniors while the Freshmen downed the Juniors. The last round of the tournament was played on Saturday, January 20. The Freshmen and Sophomores were again successful in defeating the ' Jun- ior and Senior teams. The high scorers for the tournament were Gertrude Beal, Miriam Gor- don, Florence Martin, and Regula Schmid.

Pat-a One Hundred Ninety The Ravelings — 1928 llfll iiiiBiiiMHBHamnnMiili Advertising and Chronology Page One Hundred Ninety-on The Ravelings — 1928 We dedicate this page to Luther Emerson Robinson, who for a quar- ter of a century has been an unfailing inspiration to thousands of stu- dents of Monmouth College. Could we only broadcast this anniversary to the students of the last twenty-five years, thousands of voices would acclaim him a Prince among Men, men and women from every corner of the globe would send their greeting. Thousands of lives have been inspired, and many an ambition has been born thru contact with this subtle man of genius. Have the labors of the last 25 years brot him wealth, fame or power? No. None of these things have been the fruits of the last quarter of a century, the best years of his life. He has watched the men in his college class climb to positions of wealth and importantce — he has seen students who were but a few years ago in his class room, become wealthy — grow to be great factors in their state and the nation. Little does he dream that much of the foundation of their future greatness was built in his classroom, and he was one of the architects of this building which pierces the sky. Downtown as well as out on the campus, Prof. Robinson, or Rob- bie as we call him, is a great man and is loved by everyone. As he has these 25 years mingled with his fellow townsmen he has not only given them many things, but he has gained wealth — not in gold — but in love and trust of many friends. Robbie , We Think that these 25 Years You Have Given to Monmoi tii and Monmouth Coelece Have Been Worth While Written in appreciation of these years of service of our friend. George O. Wirtz.
