MORRISON By 1855 the prestige of the school at Monmoutli had so established itself that her standing was raised to that of a college proper. The present faculty are. in some sense, the descendants of that first small group of men who guided and taught with an high courage which saw beyond the commonplace difficulties of the classroom a greater church, a more con- secrated state. The faculty of 1855 : David A. Wallace, President; Marion Morrison. Professor of Mathematics; James R. Brown, Professor of . ncient Languages.

A. YOUNG and J. B. McMICHAEL As the numbi;r of students increased and tile desire for a broader, fuller curriculum grew. Dr. .-Mexander oung came — a scholar and a gentleman to take his place among that first faculty. After twenty-two years as President, Rev. allace re- signed his place to Dr. J. B. McMichael, in whose hands was left the discipline of what might be termed the adolescent period of the sturdy young college. It had become co-educa- tional, and there was the problem of how and in what di- rection the ever-broadening cnurses were to gruw. and l)e guided. To shozi.

The Progress of the Ravelings THE RAVELINGS OF PROGRESS is builded upon the efforts of thirty- four previous classes to preserve the threads of activity that are annually woven into the memories of Monmouth collegians. All honor is due the heroic spirits which prompted the deviation from con- vention and initiation of a new custom. The first volume of the Ravelings was published by the Class of 1893, under the editorship of the late Ralph Pringle, in honor of the Class of 1893. It was an attractive cloth-bound volume some- what smaller than the present standard, and bearing the title, Monmouth Rav- elings 1892, in gilt letters against a red and white background. Opposite the page which recorded the dedication of the book to Pres. J. B. McMichael was a striking drawing in explanation of the significance of the title. A gay damsel was pictured standing with locks flying in the breeze and wearing a sleeveless dress, a few inches of ankle immodestly peeping from beneath the flowing skirt which a zephyr was coyly teasing. The maiden was felicitously juggling rav- eling balls of yarn — spheres of activity — Art, Poetry, Music, Science, Oratory, Wit, Athletics, and History. The chief features of the contents were athletics and literary societies, for ' twas in the days of one of Monmouth ' s peaks of athletic achievements, as well as the days when every student was a member of a literary society. These two activities were given space to the exclusion of class and fac- ulty pictures. Wit and clever drawings, however, then as now, were frequent. From the first to the thirty-fourth volumes of the Ravelings progress has been constant. It is true that in 1895 and 1896 but one book was published for two years; also that in 1918 the inroads of the great World War precluded a publi- cation. But with these two exceptions a volume has been published each year since 1892. In 1899 the year of the title has been changed from that of the graduating class to that of the juniors who have published it from the beginning. In 1919 appeared the famous Victory Ravelings of 1920 in memory of Mon- mouth ' s part in the World War. Many are the touches of originality which have been left upon cover designs, general schemes, arrangement, photography, wit, art, and special features. But in general the development and improvement has been gradual, keeping pace with the development of the college. May we not, then, rightly acclaim this thirty- fifth volume — THE RAVELINGS OF PROGRESS. — And io paint an accurate picture oj the college in all of its departments — this has been our aim and earnest desire in the com- pding of this publication oj the Ravelings. REV. S. R. LYONS and DR. R. GRAHAM As Monmciuth College progresses in the iiumher of her students, faculty and trustees, it is difTicult to tell of those who are her greatest leaders, her staunchest supporters, for their name is legion. Rev. Samuel Ross Lyons assumed the heavy responsihility of the administration from 1898 to 1901. Typical of the faculty of that period, perhaps, is Dr. Rus- sell Graham, who headed the department of Social Science. ' I ' riHircss — the onu ' ord stride of God. — Victor Hugo. Contents I.

THOMAS HANNA McMICHAEL Familiarity with the present administration makes praise of it seem an inadequate representation of things as they are. Dr. McMichael has for a quarter-century directed the policies of the college, and has seen its most prosperous years, the years when more nearly adequate buildings have been made possible. The time has not been without its difficulties of a more subtle kind than the housing question, however. How many problems have been met and solved for us could perhaps be revealed only by Doctor himself. Progrrss,  ian ' s disrincth ' c mark alone- — Browning.

WALLACE HALL It is right that we pass tlie statuesque Greek pillars of Wallace Hall only after we have known the Library. In its classrooms one learns to formulate and to generalize upon his experiences with his fellows and with books that have been read because they were loved. Opinions are scattered to the winds, and re- built symmetrically as the classic columns them- selves, to uphold the mind more strongly, and to guard it from unruly and unworthy en- trants. THli LlBKAkV It is the first door that we enter, perhaps — that of the Library Building; we find the busy office — the stairs leading to the storehouse of knowledge. We are enrolled .. .. and partake of that pecuhar brand of punch which only new students taste . . . After a few weeks, the first bustle of the place is forgotten, and what we shall chiefly remember, and always with a longing to see them again, are the clear high windows, open swung. THE DORMITORY 111 the word dormitory lies hidden a quaint meaning which comes from old Rome, (and it gives the lie to the modern connotation) . . dormitorium — of or for sleeping. Almost the least important things accomplished there is sleep. Girls entering its door are about to orientate themselves to a new and perhaps a very strange world. Men who daringly sound its bell encounter (who knows) the perilous adventure. THE AUDITORIUM and knowing, worship God aright. After a brief, more or less heroic struggle with subtle Arts dubbed Liberal the student seeks respite . . and that unique institution. Chapel, offers a time and a place set aside lor quiet worship.

THE OLD ACADEMY The young Mid-Wed stirred in its sleep again. And dreamed a temple for sons of its pioneers. The knowing earth felt the stir of new things at her breast. And after the time was done, the wide fields saw The sturdv builded place; and called, perhaps. To )oung feet that they had felt happily. Turned now to this new temple and its creeds.

Senior Class History On September 9, 1924, Uicrc i.-ntered tlit portals of Monmouth College, one liundred and fifty-two of the youth of the land who were aspiring to a higher education. The unobservant might not have seen in them the promise of future greatness, but it was there just the same. Freshmen fellows manifested an early interest in athletics; some of the girls went out for debate ; Tau Sigma Alpha ranked second in the Inter-Society Con- test ; and the class was well represented in the Glee Clubs and Band. There were two outstanding events in tliat first year: Melba Wood won the RaveHr.gs Beauly Contest, and our fellows were defeated in the Pole Scrap ! The Sophomore year continued the record of atliletic exphiits. not only for the men but for the girls as well, since three from our class were on the A. B. L. Championshi|) Basketball team. We were also represented on the V. M. and ' . W. Cabinets, on the Ravelings and Oracle staffs, in Tau Kappa Alpha and Pi Kappa Delta, and one of our number was chosen for one of the three yell leaders. Crimson Masque made its appear- ance on our campus in that year and we were proud to be able to contribute seventeen of its members. Because Sophomore debaters were victorious in the Inter-Society Con- test, A. B. L. won, and two sophomores won third prizes in the American Chemical So- ciety Prize Essay Contest. We again attained a place in the Beauty Section with Betty McConnell as our representative. The musical organizatiims had many sophomores listed on their rolls. Our Junior year was colored wilh nian liiyli spots, imt the lea t of ,hich was the production of one of the best, if not the best Ravelings that Momuouth Colle.ye has ever had. We were liecoming intellectual enough to attain meiubership in Sigma Omicron Mu and Sigma Tau Delta, nor were we absent in the forensic societies, the Oracle staff, the Student Council, the (jlee Clubs, Criiuson Masque, the Cabinets and so forth. Fi e of our classinates were in the Crimson Masque Home-Coiriing jilay, The doose Hangs High, an even greater number in Manthus the King, and our jilay Sun Up by Lulu X ' ollmer, on February 25, 1927. The Pep Club was organized this year and had five juniors in its ranks ; nine of our men played full or part time on the football team, and we were represented in other sports as well. Donald Beste added to our glory liy winning the distinction of being the best individual debater in the James-Nevin debate, and one of the winners of the McKinley Essay Contest. Mrs. Margaret Buckey Graham, was of our class. So came we to our last year and what need is there to say luuch of it? The lowliest freshman has seen and heard for himself and therefore needs not to be convinced that we are what we are, by virtue of the many thini s u (.■ have accomplished in our collegiate career. We point with a great deal of pride to nur lu.. debaters, Doris Fetherston and Jeanette McCleery, who have brought such renown to us and to their Alma Mater; and to those three, Donald Beste, Howard Congdon, and Charles Evans, who have qualified to participate in the Northwestern University Little Theatre Tournament, in the High Heart; and to those other actors, scholars, and athletes who have each and everyone contributed to the glory of our natiie. It is true that our ranks have diminished to seventy- nine, but such quality. .• nd we bec|ueath to the on-coming classes our will to work, to fill a need when it arises, to actively participate in college life, and to make Monmouth College a better place because- we have sprrU four years there.

Junior Class History And the said k-t tliere be a good class, yea, an excellent class, and let it lie enli.ylit- cned, .An erily all was as they spake and lliey saw that it was good. .And now that we. the Juniors, have completed our first three years of higher learn- ing, having proved our dramatic ability, our prowess in track, our superiority in oration, our ingenuity in pulilishing a Ravelings, learned our lessons and one thing and another — and feeling in a reminiscent mood, we cast a casual eye nver our illustrious history anil decided to remind you of the most outstanding incidents of i ur career. The first year of our college existence was a series of rather hazy impressions. The only tiling we remember er_ distinctl is the fact that we won the contests on scraii day so conclusi ely that, since it hail been an e.Nperinieiit, it was decided never to use it again. As sophomores we began to realize the fact of our relatioiislii]i to Moniiiouth Col- lege, and to assert ourselves. We retained our physical standing by defeating the fresh- men in the iiole scra|i. W ' itli the Khun game we felt something of the strength and fine- ness of that famous .Monmouth loyalty. We began to be iirouil of our college. And now. Juniors, we feel equipped to challenge any class of comparative size. We mention with modest pride our very outstanding participation in the dramatic productions of the campus. We boast of the possession of a successful ])layright. We are very proud of our representatives in the state dramatic contest. .As the climax, our class pla ' , Love in a Mist is surely unequalled in tlie annals of .Monmoiitli history. Ve have deinanded state recognition in both track and oratory. .Ml of which goes to prove that our brains are as agile as our feet; that we have ilevelo|icil a fine balance of co-ordination. Seriously, at the close of this year our memory is full of three golden years of col- lege — classes, contests, parties, victories, friendships, happiness. Just as the sundial that stands in the center of the long wdiite approach to Wallace Hall. We count none but sunny hours. Somehow, the unimportant and unpleasant things are blotted out. We, too, live in memories of three years of college life, golden memories — shot through with rays of crimson and white, the lieautv of Momuouth lo altv. Page Forty-threi MARION HUFF Alias Huffy.

It was liut a short time, before the members of this class began to distinguish themselves. This class first came before the eye of the public at the time of the annual Pole Scrap. A battle royal was staged between the Sophomores and Freshmen on that balmy fall day. The contestants on both sides fought gallantly. The Freshmen rushed toward the pole with the ferocity of lions ; the Sophomores, guarding it, stood firm like a stone wall ; fallen heroes of both sides lay strewn promiscuously about on the ground. Presently, as the smoke of battle cleared tor a moment, a Freshman could be seen sitting on the top of the pole, holding high the Freshman colors. Thus clad in fragments, liegrimed by dirt and sweat, the Freshmen emerged from the conflict victorious. It was a great achieve- ment, and the class received greater respect from the upperclassmen after this event. During the football season, the Class of 1931 developed a real Freshman football team, one which took the punishment and the battering of football without receiving much of the glory. They won successfully the two intercollegiate games that they played. Seven- teen members of the squad received sweaters for their good work in footl-all. Not to be lUitdiine. the Freshman track men who had been |iatiently traiiiin.y over the cross country course for weeks, won decisively over the Cornell I ' reshmen in a hard race. The basketball team made a very fine record by winning every game that they played during the season. This was very good because of the hard schedidc which they played. It was certainly inspiring to hear the ball swish throu,gh the basket in true collegiate fasli- ion, just when the points were needed. We want to ex]iress our appreciation to them especially for defeating Knox ' s freshmen twice. The swimming team was not quite as fortunate as the other teams, winning a close second in the intramural swimming meet. A new pool record in the underwater ini was a feature furnished by the Freshmen. Members of this talented class have entered into many other fields i.if activity in the school. It is because these activities are school-side, that the part played by the Fresh- men has nut been noticed so greatly. Many members of the class were admitted into the Crimson Masque at the middle of the year. Several have taken up debating and are making a good record. The Tau Sigma Alpha is a literary Society composed entirely of Freshman girls, having a membership of twenty-five. Over thirty members of the class have joined the ranks of the Philos and Eccriteans. It can thus be seen that the Fresh- man class is versatile in its endeavors. The Senior Class, realizing the true value of this ca]iable class, invited them to a Freshman-Senior party, near the beginning of the second semester. The girls ' athletic teams also made a fine showing throughout the year. Their basket- ball team was second in the tournament with the deciding game an e.xciting one. Their swimming team won the Girls ' Swimming Meet. This class is still very young and three years of successful endeavor and wide de- velopment are still in the distance. With a firm foundation upon wliich to Iniild as this year has been, the next three ought to l)e delightful, worthwhile vears.

Campiuii LiiFa Beauty and Popularity Contest 1 his year a change was made in the method of selecting the winners of the Beauty Contest. A com- mittee composed of faculty members and upper-class- men was chosen. Each member individually selected a group of girls who in his or her opmion should be contestants in a contest of this nature. A second group of names was compiled including those names men- tioned most in the hsts submitted by the committee mem- bers. 1 he pictures of this final list of Beauties were sent to Mae Tinee of of the Chicago I ribune who selected the winners. In order net to entirely exclude the men, a popu- larity contest was held. The winners are the two who received the most votes at a student-body election held to determine the two most popular men in Monmouth College. In the case of both the beauty and popularity con- tests the pictures of the winners are placed alphabeti- cally, no first and second places being determined.

Invi- tations were sent out to old grads and former students throughout the length and breadth of the land to draw them back to their Alma Mater, and a time of gen- eral good fellowship. The new . tliletic field was, of course, the center of attraction, and was the topic of nuicli dis- cussion and admiration throngliout the day. And it was very appro- priately dedicated by the defeat of 10-0 whicli the Monmouth warriors handed to . ugustana College. The fifth annual Homecoming Day was celebrated on Monmouth Campus on October 29, 1927. Many Monmouth alumni and friends returned to celebrate this day with the students. Enthusi- asm was started on Friday even- ing when a pep meeting was held in the . ' uditorium. The main feature of the morn- ing ' s program was the annual pa- rade with its sections of deco- rated cars, wrecks , clowns, ho- bos, and floats. Tlie parade was Pai e Seventy-four COMING Iccl liy Dr. McMicliael ' s car in the si-ction cif decorated cars. Tlie College Band marched he- hind the cars and were followed by the wrecks. Behind them came the hoboes, clowns, and then the floats. Prizes were awarded for the varions sections liy Mon- month merchants. Prizes were also given for the IksI duoratcd fraternity honses. Immediately after the parade various events were gi cn un the athletic field, includnig a snaki dance by the freshman women and the marching of the Band in their M formation. The sororities entertained their visiting alnmnae and friends at luncheons. The football game in the after- noon brought a large crowd to the athletic field and that crowd was not disappointed that the Mon- mouth team so complctel out- classed the X ' iking eU en that they were able to pile up a 24-0 score. In the evening several of the fraternities entertained their lady friends at dinner parties, and the play, Love in a Mist, presented by the Junior Class in the Audi- torium, brought the Hoiuecoming Festivities to a close. -MAY FETE— 1927- May Fete 1927 ■| ' 1h- Ihirly-six-. 111(1 aiiiiii.

The second part of the program was a Dance-Drama entitled The Reign of the .Seasons, .u;i eii li the undergraduate women under the direction of Miss Esther Hen- rikson, of the Physical Education Department. The plot of the drama was as follows: the tyrant. Winter, once reigned upon the earth and siire;id destruction everywhere, aided by his cohorts. North Wind, and Sleet, and Snowf lakes. Mother Nature, aghast at the havnc wrought by her errant son, halts his mad revelin, . .She deposes him and resolves to let her daughters.

Pase Seventy-; -POLE SCRAP— r927— Page Seventy-eiBht Pole Scrap On Septcmhcr lU. the annual Pole Scrap ln-tween the Freshman and Sopliumure classes was held. The scrap this year resulted in a victory fur the Freshmen. Curtis Peterson of Bay City, Michigan, climbing the pole while tliere were fifteen minutes of the second half remaining. He was tlie first man to climb the i iile with liis class colors since 192(1. wlien Pinney had that honor, and this was preceded by three ears l. McClan- ahan. who accomplished this feat in 1917. The l)lowing of the whistle during the seven fort -fi e class hour brought all the students and many townspeople to the scene of the battle around the pole near tlie front of the cami)us. When the Freshmen entered the ring at 9:15, an hour after the whistle had blown, they were met with the usual hot reception by the .Sophomores who were defending the pole. .Several attempts were made by the Freshmen in the first half to gain the pole, but they were always unsuccessful. Tliey were allowed twelve e.xtra men in the first half and with their aid were a])le to tire the Sophomores bexond the fighting jioint during that half, . fter the thirty minutes ' engagement the first half was called and a fifteen minute rest period was allowed. In the second half the Freshmen were allowed si.x extra men and also their football men as well as fresh men. The last half was started to last for twenty-five minutes and before ten minutes of this had passed, the victory had been achieved. .At the time, all the Sophomores were blocked away from the jiole and there were three e.xtra Freshmen at the bottom of the i)ole. Peterson used one of these men as a stepping stone to Monmouth Cidlege fame and was out of reach of the Sophomores before thex coidd break liack to the pole. The entire group of Freshmen men deser ed a great deal of credit for their co-opera- tion in making it possible for Peterson to break through to the jiole. Peterson had had training as an acrobat and used ibis training to .good advantage iri the battle. This contest originated many years ago as a Color rush in which lioth teams rusheil the pole in an attempt to place their colors at the top. The plan was later changed to that of the present Sophomore defense of the pole. The entire group of men were permitted to enter the fight for a few years, but it became necessary to limit the number because of the vast differences in the number of men in the two classes.

Women ' s Debate Season This )car of Mniiim utli wmiu ' ii ' s iii;.rL-ulli,L;ialc drlialt- witnessed a cry 1ius_ ' ami interesting reason. lia ini its climax in the victory of tlie two re|)resentati es at tlie Pi Kainia Delta Convention. The national I ' i Kappa Delta question for deliate was: ■■KcsoUeil; Tliat tlie United States should cease o protect capital invested in foreign nations hy armed force except after a formal declaration of war. Jeanette McClecry and Doris Fethcrston composed the only women ' s team debating this question. They opened the debate season with a victory over a team representing Alarquettc Universitv of Milwaukee. Wisconsin. The debate took place in Monmouth February 21. Both Monmouth girls were debaters of experience, having successfully represented the college in women ' s debate in previous The reniaimng two teams debated resjiective sides of the question. Kesohed: That in time of war the go ernment should con. cript sul ' ticient wealth .md ])rofits to pay the cm ' - rent expenses of the war. Frances Mahaftey. Helen Hart and Margaret Farrell com- posed the affirmative team debating this question. Their first clash was a non-decision debate with a team representing Lawrence College of Appleton, Wisconsin, and was held on the home floor, February Zi. Their second debate was lost to North Central College of Naperville, Illinois. The debate was held in North .Aurora, Illinois on March 2. Frances MahafTy. as captain of the team, experiencing her first year of intercollegiate debate, acquitted herself very well. She will be ready to bear part of the resjionsibility for the success of ne.xt year ' s season. Helen Hart has participated in intercollegiate debate in Bradley Polytechnic Institute of Peoria, Illinois, where she was a student nntil this year. She proved herself a valu- able addition to Pi Kappa Delta and will return next year and continue her work in debate. Margaret Farrell became affiliated with the Monmouth chapter of Pi Kappa Delta in 1926 and took part in debate that year. She wdll take active membersiiip in the organiza- tion again next year. The negative team debating this same question was com|iosed of Margaret Starr, Ruth Scheidegger and Floy Fetherston. This team met a team from Normal University of Normal. Illinois, in a non-decision debate held in Monmouth on March 3. Their second debate resulted in a victory over Shurtleff College of Alton, Illinois. Margaret Starr, the captain of the team, has been actively affiliated with Pi Ka|)pa Delta since l ' ' 2(i. She, too, graduates this year leaving Pi Kappa Delta with hi.sh standing. Niistrand. I).

Si.x achates were undertaken, Monmouth winning three and losing the same nunilier ten an even hreak in the season ' s totals. No non-decision contests were held. The plan of work, as inaugurated last year hy Professor Toussaint. was followed out this season. Preliminary tryouts were held late in Novemher. Following a series of practice sessions which were carried I ' n during the next few weeks, the scpiad was cm down to nine men, three on the alfirmatixe and six on the negati e. wh i wnt tlircmgh the The the attirmative team, composed of Donald Beste, George Kerr, and Koy Br. an was one strongest outfits in action, but it had the hard luck of being unable to convince judges.

John Matthew Oration Monnioutli College made for herself during the year 1927-28 a record of which she can be proud. The state association held its first oratorical contest for women at Xaperville. Illinois, on February 17. Monmouth College received tliird place with the oration, .A Challenge to Our Generation, given by Ruth Lant, ' 28. Miss Lant ' s oration was a clear-cut iliscussiim i.if the relation of the home to the youth pmblem of today, and was a challenge to tlie modern generation to fit the home into modern life. Simple directness and excellent platform poise characterized Miss Lant ' s delivery. For the third time in four years Monmouth Colle.ge represented Illinois in the division- al oratorical contest. John Matthews, ' 29, won first in the state contest, Init failed to qualify in the divisional contest. There is no ignominy in this defeat, for the contest was so exceedingly close that every contestant received every possible ranking by the judges. The qualities wdiich won for Mr. Matthews were the quality of his voice, the sincere- ly of his manner and his direct conversational mode of speaking, together with the strength of the oration itself. His subject was, Light in the Darkness; it traced with clarity and vision the progress of education through the ages, and was a plea for the furtherance of the spirit of toleration and scientific investigation.

Out of forty-six women ' s teams entered from twenty-two difli ' erent states. Mon- mouth alone was undefeated.

Kansas; College f the Pacific. California; Pittsburgh Teacliers College, Kansas; Fast Texas Xormal College; and . (intbwoteni again. Unusual preparation, and determination and grit were the qualities tliat carried Doris and Jeanette through that grind. The ability in every case to marshal! just a few more facts than their opponents was an outstanding feature of all Monmouth debates. The vlrls made a splendid team, each possessing distinct qualities to complement the other; Jeanette ' s con- structive speeches and Doris ' rebuttals; Jeanette ' s simple, direct manner and Doris ' force- ful, vigorous delivery: Jeanette ' s clear statement of her case and Doris ' telling strikes at her opponents ' main arguments. This combination of qualities won a national debate championshiii, proving that little else is needed in a debate team. Philo Contestants Oil May 8. again will cla li tlK ' old weird warriors.

By means of inter-class tour- naments a yodd rivalry has grown up among the girls besides a Many girls have 1)een coming out tor swimming this year. Five of the girls passed the E-xaminer ' s Test — Martha McPeak, Dorotli La.xson. Margaret Magner. Gertrude Tor- rance, and Louise McClenahan. This entitles them to give Senior Life-Saving tests to an one. liesides these, nine girls passed their Senior IJfe-Saving test. A sw niimin.g meet lie- tween classes lias also helped to liring about a better sense of sportsmanship and rivalr_ . This meet included e-xhibitions of the beginners, intermediate, and advanced swimmers, contests between the classes, di ing exhibitions, stunts, and life-saving exhiliitions. In this va we can see the advancement of swimming among the girls. The hocke_ - tmu ' uament which was played in the fall was also a contest between classes. The Freshmen, Sophomore, and Junior-Senior teams all fought to win but the Junior-Senior team was tlie victor. These games should prove to be interesting to everyone because it is one game that the .girls play and the men do not. The tennis team of 1 ' ' - ' consisting of Martha McPeak, Beatrice Harkins, and Dorothy Thompson competed with several other schools. There has been cc npetition lietween schools before but not so nuich as there was this year. We hope that this spirit will con- tinue. We are proud of the advancement made in women ' s athletics here at Monmouth College. PaKe One Hundred Two JOE SPOET Football Basketball Track Baseball Pace One Hunrlri-d Thr Football 1927 Capl.

Cnrnell and Knox defeated Momnoutli in the Midwest. Monmouth and Bradlex led the cnnference in |iercenta,ue. llnth teams lost one game, hut (he title went ti ) Bradle due to the fact that it played more teams in the state loop. I ' ' .arl in Septeniher, ten letter men .and ahoul fort aspirants for the I ' LV machine re- ported for practice. It ea.- nece■ ary to de elop some new linetnen and hall carriers and the coaches set i ut lo .accomplish this task. The last Saturday in Septeniher, Mount Morns lame to the local field for a practice tilt, although no score was kept. Monmouth showed up superior in e er department. . s it was early in the season the : y was ragged on both sides. Monmonlh did not look like a macliine to cope with the powerfid Iowa team. On October 1, our first scheduled game was played at biwa City. Otir team was defeated, but our boys made the Iowa team travel at full speed. During the third quar- ter our team outplayed Iowa and made two long marches down the field. One resulted in a touchdown, ami the other failed because of a penaltx on Monmouth. Iowa wore down our team and then sent in fresh players. Page One Hundred Fi- The next scrap was with Coe. The Kohawks v ere very strong and finally managed to push over several touchdowns. The feature of the game was Rus Graliam ' s long field goal, which actually traveled sixty yards. A last quarter drive gave Coe victory. Beloit came to Monmouth the next week determined to avenge their li-l walloping of the 1926 season. However, the Red and White worked more like a machine and pushed over several counters on the Wisconsin team. In this game the hackfield and line began to show real drive and coordination and they went right down the field. Our encounter with Illinois College at Jacksonville was played before a large home- coming crowd which had come to see the Hartmen defeated. The backfield reeled off several long runs that indicated how bard it would be for later opponents to tackle the fast and tricky ball carriers. After an exciting fight all the way, Monmouth trotted off the field with another scalp. The terrible Swedes from Augustana descended upon the Maple City the follow- ing week with only one thought : beat Monmouth and spoil Homecoming Day. From the first of the game, however, it was evident that the home team was by far the best and it wasn ' t long before a score was made. When the smoke of battle had cleared Mon- mouth had added another victim to her list and Homecoming had not been ruined. The team that met Cornell at Mt. Vernon was a badly crippled outfit. Several of the regulars didn ' t even break into the game, and the cripples who got in couldn ' t play their best game. Cornell finally defeated Monmouth, liut it was only ])y the superb |)lay of several of their men who made all-state and all-conference teams. Monmouth isn ' t ashamed of a fighting team tliat does its best no matter what odds. The Eureka game was not much of a struggle. .-Vfter the first team had ridden rough shod over the forward wall of Eureka, Coach Hart put in the second, third and fourth string men who played the last three quarters, and rolled up a good si .ed score. It was not a tough enough game to tune up the machine for the Knox game. The last game of the season with Knox at Galesburg was a heart-breaker. Monmouth outplayed the Siwashers in every way and made 14 first downs to Knox ' s 1. Several of our first string backfield were injured to start with and several times the liall was only a few yards from the goal, Imt the last ounce of power to push over a touchdown was lacking. Late in the fourth quarter a Knox player intercepted a lateral pass and ran for a touchdown, the only score of the game, it was hard to lose that game but we were proud of the way our team played. We lose by graduation this June .Mex Thorn, Russell Graham. Max Rodgers, Dean Clark, Eugene Lister and Bruce Barr. The other men who were awarded letters and will form the nucleus for the 1928 machine are Work, Dekoning, Cataldo, Burnside, Wil- cox, Kelsey, Mohlenbrock, X ' alker, Cork, Bcncini and Ogle. ' e will also have several good sophomores. Monmouth lias placed herself on the football map for good. Several of the players were chosen for State, Midwest and Central Illinois Conference all star teams. The fact that we are scheduling Big Ten games is proof of Monmouth ' s standing.

Outside the conferences St. Bede was defeated twice. The only loss was to Iowa State Teachers College at Cedar Falls, 7 to 6. This game was lost by one bobble. The record set up by the 1927 team will be hard to beat. Rus Graham led the sluggers with a .438 average. Both Grahams and Taylor and Dickson were above .400. Only the pitchers batted less than .33i. The team batted .344 and scored 158 runs to its opponents 41 in fourteen games. Chuck Hamilton was again our l eading hurler and Chettie Malone was his relief man. Captain John Graham led from the first sack and the Ta lor to Molesworth combination turned in quite a few double plays at second and short. Shoberg. a new- comer, covered the hot corner in fine shape. Dickson, Mitze and Rus Graham covered the outer gardens like a lilanket. Our new catcher was Bill Mohlenbrock.

Pajrc One Hundred Thirty-seven The Girl ' s Pep Club The Girls ' Pep Club is one of the most active organizations on the campus. It was formed for the purpose of creating more pep in the entire student liody. The way in which this pep is instilled is by giving stunts in Cliapel and liy turning out at the games to give their support to the teams. The Pep Club was originally formed in 1923 when twenty-five of the most peppy girls were chosen to become members. These meniebrs in turn choose new members to take the place of those who graduate, always keeping the number up to the original twen- ty-five.

The menihers. realizing that there was rooiu for expansion and alsn that there was a demand for something of this nature, decided that a society c.uld be organized for the benefit and |ileasure of those inter- ested in the staging of pla s. A constitution was drawn up b the fidlouing member, of the student body: John Wilson, Irwin Douglass, Harl.ind llogue, . lar . kin, and Rosanna Webster. In determining who should constitate the membership df the new dramatic societx which was given the name of Crimson Masque, try-outs wcri In Id. A group of faculty members acted as judges and all regular members of the st udent l ' .jd were permitted to try out. Sixty members were admitted as charter members nf trim- son Mas[|ue. An election was held and the following officers chosen: President, Robert Downie : ' ice President. Alaurice McCracken; Secretary. Anna .Allison: Treasurer, Wen- del Findley : Chairman Program CUnnuittee. .Marian Tenipletcin: Re]iorter, Florence Smith. It was the aim of the Crimson . las(|Ue to stage each month for the benefit of its n;embership several one act plays. The first year these plays were ])reseiited in the . . 11. 1.. Literary room in Wallace Hall. 1 lie small stage was extended several feet to accom- modate the actors who always ]jlayed to a full room of spectators. Bein.g a closed soeiet , tile general pid)lic was not |iermitted to see the pla s but each Chinison Mas(|ue member v.as allowed to invile a guest. The success of such a step was soon assured by the manner in ubicb it .is recei eil by the student body and faculty as well as townspeople. A great cleal ..f stipp,,ri cmie fr..m the college by many of Monmouth ' s citizens who gave assistance which w.is nf gnat impor- tance. 1 he following are a list id ' the most active patrons and patronesses tn ( rinisi.n Masque: Mr. and Mrs. 1. Clvde McCov. Mrs. ( ieorge Shirlev Tubbs, Mr. ami .Mrs. P,. t . Duke. Mr. and Mrs. M. ( i. Soule. .Mrs. R. I.. Wray. Dr. and Mrs. J. L. Sherrick. T.i meet with success from the very first is unusual for any undertakin.g. Perhajis rhis was due to the inanuer in yvhich Crimson Masque was organized. In addition to the regukir ui- ficers who direct tTie actions of the society, Afiss Ruth Williams, a faculty member and dratnatic director for the college supervised the entire or.gaiiization. Each one act play was directed by a member of the Crimson Mas(|ue and the Play Production class who was given charge of a caste. i In this manner both training in acting and directing is enjoyed by those interested in drama. During the first period of its existence the Crimson .Masque was so noticeable upon the campus that many planned to become members as soon as possible. It was the general opinion that A. B. L. Hall was a poor place to present plays and soon it was talked of to turn the old college gymnasium into a Little Theatre. This dream became true and today the students of Monmouth and the townsiieople go to a fine remodeled building, well lighted and adequate both for players and spectators. The progress of Crimson M.LSi|ue ami drani:itic and sure.

Page One Hundred Eighty-eight History of Monmouth College Conservatory Music lias been an important factor in Alonmoutli College througliout almost all of its existence. As early as 1853. two years after the college was fonnded. the desirability of musical training in the school was recognized and courses were offered in voice and piano. Changes in instructors were frc(|uent until ISdM, wluu Professor S. H. Price took charge. From that time until bi death in 18SX er definite progress was made in the music de- partment. Until this time, the music departnuiU hail not l)een directly under the auspices of the College, and those wdio wished to take music were simply sent to the various teachers by the college authorities. In 1888. bdwever, the school responded to the growing demand for musical instructions liy organizing the department officially under the directiiju of Professor E, L. Zartman, Doctor J. B. Herbert, the well known composer was secured as an instructor in voice. Under the management of tluse two men there was a steadv advance in the grade of work. The greatest jirogress in the music.il department has been made since the year l ' «)l, when it was formally organized as the Monmouth College Conservatory of Music. Pro- fessor T. Merrill .Austin, who is a gracluale of ew England Conservatory ami li.is studied under excellent masters in Berlin and London, became clirector at this lime. It has largely- been due to his untiring eft ' orts and liroad ision that the ear I ' XIl is the turiung point in the musical history of Monmouth College. When Professor Austin look cb.irge of the C(.nser atory. there was little in the field of theoretical instruction. During bis directorship, be has added many tecbinacl courses, and a thorough training in all the branches necessary to knowledge of the principles of music is now offereil. Tbrongh the etficieuc ' of Professor .Austin and his corps of in- structors, the Conservator) has won an unusually fine reputation in the musical world. Since Professor Austin became director in 1901. the number of instructors has in- creased from three to eight. Those who now so ablv carr on the work of the Conserva- tory are Professor Austin, director and teacher of voice, interiirelation, analysis and musical history; Edna B, Riggs, teacher of advanced piano, organ, analytical harmony and counter- point; J. Henri Fischer, violin and piano; Dora Hughes Kettering, violin and piano; Lois Fowler Getty, methods and voice ; Grace Gawthrop Peterson, piano ; I ilenn Shaver, voice ; and Katherine Laws, piano. Not only is the excellent training of the Conserx ator - attesteil to b - the efficiency of its graduates, but it also has hail great cultural influence ujion the cidlege and cominuiu ' ty. Its presence has greatly influenced the number of those who care for the best in nuisic. Choral singing has been promoted and many splendid artists have been brought to Mon- mouth under its auspices. The .Artists ' Course for this year, sponsored by the Conserva- tory and Monmouth Music Club, includes the Heerman String Quartette, Elizabeth Kerr, soprano, a two piano recital by Silvio Scionti and Stell .Anderson, and Lorna Doone Jaxon. prima donna contralto. Thus the musical development of the college has made itself felt as a vital influence in the school and community; and the constant growth in scope and vision of Moiunouth Col- lege ' s Conservatory of Music only points the way to greater achievements in the com- ing years.

The Glee Clubs and other vocal clubs furnish oppor- tunities for the development of singing ability. Several times throughout the liistory of Monmouth College, Choral Societies have been organized for the purpose of fostering a greater appreciation for music and benefiting a greater number of stu- dents. For several years previous to this these societies had been in the back ground more or less. It was decided in the fall of this school year to organize a Monmouth Choral So- ciety for mixed voices. The college was very fortunate in securing as director Air. H. Wiley Stewart, a fine tenor, who has shown unusual talent in choral directing. It is be- cause of his untiring effort to develop and advance group singing that the Choral clubs were so successful this vear. Since 1889 there have been prominent campus. . t that time Professor Zartman became a ing his first year here he gathered together a gn practices. After Professor Austin became head of horal organizations on Monmouth College ' s ame a music professor in the college. Dur- a group (if si.xty singers, who had weekly in the school, he organi-ed a choral society similar to the former one, which had disbanded. This gi and was soon more than a hundred xoicts strong. .-Innual Musical 1- ' Up grew rapidly t;vals were pre- Pace One Hundred Ninety-tv seiitud l) llu- t ' hili anil it yainc-d (|uitL ' a rc|JUtalinii in musical circles.

' I ' he So- ciet is not limited to the collei;e or conservatory stu luits Imt includes all singers of tlie community who desire to helout;. A large number of college stinlents ti ok ad anlage of this opportunity and took time each week from regular school wurk to enjoy a helpful lioin ' of musical training. . n equal muidier of townspeo]de alsii joined the choral cluh and furnished a greater part of the talent for the proiiuction. Messiah. Under Mr. Stewart ' s excellent direction the .Society has had a ery successful sea- son. Regular practices have been held all year and two oratorios have been prepared by the Society. The Messiah by Han lel was presented in Decemlier in tlie College Audi- torium with a chorus comprising one lumdred and tweiU -three voices and a twenty-five |iiece orchestra. A large crowd was preseiU to hear the Messiah and as not disap- liointed in the manner of presentation. With an excellent orchestra to balance the voices of the chorus, Mr. Stewart was able to develop a truly great choral club for the first puldic performance of the year. Mendelssohn ' s Elijah was given in the spring in dram- atized form with an e en larger chorus. The music alone was worlli far more that what was charged biu the dramatized wa in which it was | reseiUeil .nlded beauty and meaning which made the presentation far more impressive than it otherwise would ha e been. The l ' ;iijah was considered the superior of the two productions because of the costimie elfecls and also because the singers were farther advanced from their practice throughout tlie year. Interest in the Society has been very active, exceeding the ho| es of its director and Professor Austin. The response to the organization has shown the need there has been for it. This interest and response, combined with the direction of . lr. Stewart, has brought about achiexemeiit and progress for the organization. The Choral Societ - has pro ed itself a real asset to Monmouth College and the town of .Xbjumonth.

There have been various attempts made in tlie history of tile college to establish a permanent concert group but little was acc.implished until the year of 1925-26. In that var John MeConnell of the class of ' 26 took charge of the band. Since that time the Band lias been directed in a most efficient way by (ilenn Toland, There were fourteen members of last year ' s Band who reported this year, and a num- ber of new members joined. Girls were admitted to the Band this year. The success of the Band must be attributed to the excellent direction of Mr. Toland and to the faithfulness of its members. DiRICCTOR — Glenn R.

Lee, carved in stone on the side of a great mountain | of stone. The passing of time can never erase that grizzled figure, [s no v ind, no storm can change that figure — it is carved in stone, an p everlasting monument to that great statesman and soldier — loved and feared by friend and foe. As we look on the beautiful buildings on the campus at Monmouth Col- | lege they always have seemed to be more monuments of brick, mortar and | jl} stone than just ordinary buildings. You can almost see, chiseled on their faces I the figure of their builder. The storms of many years, the cold raw winds | H and blinding snows of many years will beat against those walls — yet will g they stand as a monument to their builder. For many of us always as we look i at those beautiful buildings we will see the figure of their builder carved in stone — the lasting memorial of a great dreamer and builder, Thomas H. I McMichael. I 1 Doctor Tom, we could not pass this year without expressing our ap- _- preciation to you for those inientv-five of your best years which you have I given to Monmouth and Monmouth College. You have in these twenty-five !| a years dreamed many dreams and out of those dreams builded a great institu S . , 1 I ' - ll tion. Yes, we know that you have had help but we do know that much (a I of it has been your own vision and just a hand now and then to help you, when ||{ a you faltered or feaied you could not make the grade. We know that you M S . . O Bl have had many a dark day — just when everything seemed lost, then came H that determination to win. And we know just how well you love to win. || Ij And then you did win and life seemed good. w We have for these many years been in the grand stand aplauding and h just helping a little with our yells. We too wanted you to win and rejoiced § with you when your winning came. Monmouth is proud of you and wants p you to know that they do appreciate you and the miracles you have done in p| I the last twenty-five years. Your image will ever be carved as if in stone | in our memories. igi m WIRTZ BOOK COMPANY. isi laagiiiiiiaiaisiaiaigiLgiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisiafaiaigigiiaisiiaiiiiiaiaHiaiagjiiiigiiaiiiiiis Pa.ore Two Hundred Six 151 ISI IS] IHI DIFFENBAUGH Lumber Coal Co.

PaKe Two Hundred Twenty- OUR RAVELINGS MIRROR Like Young Lochinvar, Sunkist oranges and the demand for farm relief, he came out of the West; just why nobody knows. It may be that a benev- olent action of the statute of limitations may permit his return in some few years. He is tall, a Sherwin-Williams blonde, and one reason why jealous hus- bands prefer Colt Automatics, which aim as easily as pomting your finger. He is particular concerning his appearance and his clothes fit like the gilt on a flag pole. 1 he women, yes all of them, adore him, for he has that intangible something found no where else but in the Stacomb ads, that quality which p recipitates crises in sororities and which made Brigham Young the first successful promoter of tours through the West. Among the men he is popular for he has that wholesome frankness, that pleasing naturalness all men admire. There are those on the campus who count it an occasion merely to be insulted by him. He IS the type who stroll nonchalantly through the morgue on sunny after- noons; stop in the public parks to feed poinsoned corn to the pigeons, or burn the noses of pet squirrels who leap down upon his shoulders. But one frailty mars the perfect picture. Mark Antony had a weakness for house boats; our hero ' s vulnerable point is flaming scarfs. Should he appear some day wearing a necktie less arresting in appearance than would be a clot of blood on a barber ' s coat, the frenzied student body would emit a cry of anguish to be heard from Pittsburgh, Kansas to Washington, Iowa, via Red Oak. TaBc Two Hundied Twcnty-ei.uht OUR RAVELINGS MIRROR She is a devastating little vampire. Pocket size, physically very attractive, ef- fervescing at comparatively low temperatures and requiring but slight stimulation to produce brilliant pyrothechnic displays, a peculiar type of activity is noticeable when placed in close proximity with certain Phi Sigs. Unlike so many others of her sex she places starthngly few burdens upon friendship and wins thereby undying admiration from the stronger, but dumber, portion of the so-called human race. She is winsome, and pretty and cute. Contemptuous of subterfuge and sham she commands unqualified respect and admiration of ail who know her. It is a refreshing thing to visualize the supreme happiness she shall one day bring to the fortunate man who shall convince her that he be the very trellis to support her type of clinging vine. In college she shall probably add several furrows to the wrinkled brows of those who strive to guide our destinies for she continues, with gay abandon, to steer her happy course straight for the gayest things the fleeting hour may offer. Philosophy, English, and other trifles to the contrary notwithstanding. But when dark hours come, in those fearful times when God has special need of women, those who seek her should look first where the danger is most imminent and before the rest of us have made the resolve to start she shall probably have passed through those uncrowded lanes where none but the finest dare to venture. 1 hat is what I think of her, that is what we all think of her, and for very definite physical reasons she had just as well pretend that she likes it.
