SCHOL AKSHI P From every land they come and in her halls they learn the lessons of Manhood and Womanhood. ALMA MATER. COPYKI GH T 1929 BY EDWIN LEADER, EDITOR LOUIS GIVENS, BUSINESS MANAGER. ALMA MATER. Her thoughtful service blesses the home with a knowledge of agreeable and efficient liv- ing. Motherhood is her concern, childhood her study, and the making of homes is her sacred cause. THE HOME MAKER. ALMA MATER. Armed with the pen her children go forth to stir the minds of men to thought, to a keener appreciation of their obligations and to deeper knowledge of truth. THE WRITERS. FORE WORD Because we believe in our Alma Mater and in higher education generally, we have chosen an art motif for the 1 930 RaveUngs which portrays the fields of life work In ' ° which Monmouth College students go. It has been said often that the modern college people are not accomplishing anything. Contrary to that, we be- lieve that our Alma Mater prepares us to do our share of the world ' s work D ' eZZ as to enjoy the rest of our life more fully. We do not believe that life should be entirely ser- ious and so we have attempted to portray all the various phases of our college activity in the pages of this vol- ume. If it helps any to come to a better understanding of what we believe college should be and do, its pur- pose is achieved. fl 8 ALMA MATER. In after life, as on the Athletic Field, her sons uphold the glory of her name. Whether to win or lose they give their best.

Whatever Monmouth students may do in college or in life after they leave college, much of the credit must go to the parents for making such opportunity available. Many of the parents of Monmouth students have gone out from this campus and have given of their wealth and life to their Alma Mater. Such sacrifice for us deserves recognition. Little as the commendation and apprecia- tion expressed here may mean, with this — the only method at our hand — we give tribute to Our Parents. ALMA MATER. Many of her students have known her ideals for years before they eome upon her campus. They are acquainted with them in the home by parents who have been students in her classrooms. THE HOME.

Because it was taken with her grandson Tom, this picture is one of which Mrs. McMichael was particularly fond. It was used in the last formal tribute paid her in life — in the program for the football banquet sponsored by the Kiw anis Club. Beside it was a dedication which paid high tribute to her constant interest in all Monmouth College people and affairs. Under the picture, appeared these words, to which all her friends and loved ones will agree: Those about her from her shall read the perfect ways of honor. Page Fourteen RAVELINGS U? 1Q30 t We, the staff of the 1930 Ravelings, count it an opportunity to add any humble honor in our powc?r to those being accorded Dr. Alice Winbigler in her last year of service to her and our Alma Mater. She has decided, at the close of fifty years, of uninterrupted teaching duty here, that she should retire. Many of us have known her for years longer than we have been here, because she was teacher, friend, and counsellor to many of our parents. Our chief regret is that in losing her, Monmouth College loses more than a Professor of Mathematics, unless she does as we hope and know she will and keeps in touch with the school. Lady Alice is a name known to all Monmouth students, may it be known to many in the future as friend and counsellor, if she cannot be teacher. Page Fifteen RAVELINGS oj? 1Q30 COMMENCEMENT lo everyone who has been a student a. Monmouth and has seen the procession thread acrcss the campus from Wallace Hall to the Auditorium for commencement services, this picture should bring memories. Not only is it valuable to all who love and honor Mon- mouth because of the memories it may stir, hut because it was taken at this particular time. The procession pictured is the one which marked the end of the twenty-fifth year of service to his Alma Mater of one who probably has done more than any other to make her the college we are so proud to claim, our president, Dr. T. H. McMichael. ADMINISTRATION RAVELINGS oj? 1Q30 THOMAS HANNA McMICHAEL President A. B„ Monmouth College, 1886; A. M., ibid, 1889; Xenia Theological Seminary, 1890; D.

The largest freshman class in history entered Monmouth College, one hundred seventy aspiring young men and women, to whom Doc once again gave those fatherly words of advice at the beginning of their college days. This class was soon reminded of its duty to wear little green caps, and. strange as it may seem to succeeding classes, the members of this class of ' 29 did wear their caps until Turkey Day. Scrap Day! ' 29 won that series pi contests so decisively that the student body has never since thought it wise to discard the ancient Pole Scrap. ' 29 was introduced to championship athletics in that glorious football season of 1925. A Knox game was won. Even the freshmen caught the spirit for they won the interclass track meet that year. 1926! For variety, perhaps, the Sophomores of ' 29 sucessfully defended the Pole in the traditional scrap. But then they turned their thoughts to study and more serious matters. Of course the year was not complete without a victory in the annual interclass track meet. 1927 ! Juniors made strong bids for places in many college halls of fame. Matthews, state champion orator, was the third Monmouth man in four years to win that ancient event. Mcintosh — that true Scot. He took all the honors and the headlines for himself at the annual Illinois Relays, as all-around champion. Seniors! Of honors there have been a plenty. True Scots have taken them as they came. Athletic captains — yes, Walker, Smith, Dickson, Mitze. Mcintosh, Brown. Swanson. Another state champion orator. Never before in Monmouth ' s history has one class pro- duced two great orators, such as Matthews and Speer. Four times in the last five years has Monmouth won in Illinois, and two times the class of ' 29 has furnished the winner. Scholarship! Our men have been proved capable, our women have been adjudged beautiful and talented, but, neither have ever been called deficient in the classroom. The Honor Roll tells the tale. I the freshman year fifteen were in this select group: in the sopho- more year, fifteen; in til ,jnior year, eighteen; and in the senior year, eighteen. It is note- worthy that throughout these four years, the class of ' 29 has had as many men as women on the Honor Roll each semester. Bernard Smith is an example of all-around ability — an out- standing scholar, basketball captain, and recipient of the University of Illinois scholarship for next year. ' 29 produced, too, the epochal yearbook the Ravelings of Progress, a fitting com- memoration of Doctor McMichael ' s work in Monmouth. Ours have been years of settled progress since the completion of the campus ; we have -,eeu the student body grow; we have enjoyed with Doctor his Anniversary Jubilee; we have grieved with him in the loss of our College Mother ; we have finished our college days just as that gracious spirit that guided our first year celebrates her Golden Jubilee, in our commencement, the Winbigier Commencement. ' 29 is leaving. May the history thus far written, be achievements just beginning. ■I HHBMHI Page Twenty-nine 1Q30 DORIS DIXSON Stkonghurst Kappa Alpha Sigma, president 4, secre- tary 3. treasurer 2 ; Pan-Hellenic Council 3, 4; Y.

Thomas Wolfe, Vice-Pres. Margaret Holmes, Sec.-Tr History of the Class of ' 30 Now when it comes to breaking records the Junior class stands at the head every time — so far as numbers are concerned. We started out in the wet fall of ' 26 (who could forget that terrible winter?) with 210, the largest class Monmouth has ever seen. This year finds us still leading as the largest Junior class with 109 students who represent twelve states and one foreign country. As Freshmen we easily made ourselves recognized on the campus because of our charming personalities and pleasing dispositions — others were immediately drawn to us so great was our magnetism, this magnetism which has made us famous. We are a modest group not believing in handing out promiscuous bouquets, but we do believe in giving honor to whom honor is due. It is with this thought in mind that we shyly call to your attention the fact that among our number are debaters of reknown, athletes who have won innumer- able honors for Monmouth, literary geniuses, scholars who are the pride and joy of their professor ' s hearts, many endowed with dramatic instinct, a girl whose line interferes with her business, some of the best dancers in college (we mean in the May Fete), Sigma Tau Delta and Sigma Omicron Mu members, and a beauty contest winner. This, all this, in one class. What more could one ask? A class with a past is this of 1930 — but oh what a future! We see in the distance orators, musicians, statesmen, politicians, and other unusual people of whom Monmouth will be proud. Page Forty-five QJ? 1 Q 3 O NAME— ELIZABETH MAIN- BOOKING AGENCY— Monmouth.

During the first hurried days following our arrival, our conception of college life was rather hazy, but it was not long until we began to assert ourselves. In order to bring our- selves to the notice of the more advanced classes in the most effective way possible, we won a contest which a freshman class had not won for seven long years. We defeated the sophomores in the Pole Scrap, and thereby, demonstrated the prowess which was to be seen often in the future. A remarkable record of no defeats in am athletic contests was established by the various teams representing the class of 1931. The Freshman football team was one of the best Mon- mouth had ever had. It emerged victorious from the two intercollegiate games it played, and seventeen members of the squad received sweaters for their good work. The track men defeated Cornell ; the basketball team won six games ; one of our number established a new pool record in the underwater swim ; and the girls won the Girl ' s Swimming Meet. We Sophomores can well be proud of the athletic record of our first year. The members of our class, however, did not expend all their efforts in the field of athletics. We are well represented in the forensic, dramatic, religious, and social activities of the campus. Having now completed our Freshman year at college successfully, we looked forward to the second year, and the opportunities that it would bring. We returned in the fall of ' 28. ready to enter the broader fields of endeavor open to the Sophomore Class. Our men again demonstrated their athletic ability. Five of them won football letters ; three made the basketball squad ; our swimming team placed second in the inter-class meet; and others of our number are showing promise on the track team and baseball squad. The girls again won the Girl ' s Swimming Meet. In other activities we were well represented. Three of the class engaged in intercollegi- ate debate, and one of the girls of our cla c « was chosen to represent the college at the State Oratorical Contest. The pep and enthusiasm for which we have been famous during our college career, was recognized at the Washington Banquet, when our class received first prize for the pep there demonstrated. Now as we stand at the halfway mark of our college life with two more years in which to achieve before us, we hope that we may come to realize more and more the meaning of loyalty to our class, and to our college, and that the succeeding years may be even more suc- cessful than the ones through which we have just passed.

Sec.-Tr History of the Class of ' 32 Tlic class of 1932 entered college, fully as green as the former classes. The memhers of the class, however, quickly adapted themselves to their surroundings, and applied them- selves to their studies, industriously and earnestly. The Freshmen were forced to weer green caps until Thanksgiving, and so they were easily recognized on the campus. They also distinguished themselves in other ways. Although the pole scrap was not won by the Freshmen, they fought hard for their class. In the field of athletics, the class can well pride itself. The football team won every contest, and the basketball team won all of its games with the exception of one. The girls also entered into athletics, and developed fast hockey and basketball teams. Altogether the Freshmen produced a great deal of talent along a number of athletic lines. Four Freshmen were placed on the debate teams and made good records. The Fresh- men girls literary society, Tau Sigma Alpha, did a number of interesting things in their meetings this year. Several Freshmen were taken into the men ' s societies, Philo and Eccritean. The Freshmen have all entered into the activities of the school and have done a great deal to further the educational, athletic, religious and social life of the school. There are still three more years for the class of 1932 to develop, and with this one year as a foundation, years of success are sure to follow. 4 .A. H. Keating. P. Beveridge, E. Henderson, H.

This year it was thought appropriate to have the contest carried out along the lines of the theme of the book as a whole. Ordinarily there has been a beauty or Vanity Fair contest for the election of the most beautiful of the Monmouth College coeds. Last year, a new part was added to the contest. The student body was asked to vote on the two most popular men in the college. The pictures of these two men, together with the winners of the beauty contest who were chosen by Mae Tinee, appeared in the 1929 Ravelings. Since the art work of this volume deals with the success of the people who claim Monmouth College as Alma Mater, the student body and faculty of the college were asked this year to vote for The Monmouth College Seniors most Likely to Succeed in Life. Each voter was expected to vote for two men and two women. There were thirty-two men and twenty-two women nominated and the four people whose pictures fol- low this were the two highest in each of the divisions. The value of this contest lies not in the present, but in the future when we shall see how well we are able to judge people who will succeed. In 1950 or 1955, get down this book, which will be dust-covered if you still have it, and see whether Monmouth College people are judges of ability. See whether you, personally, were a good judge. Prob- ably you will smile then.

The festival for 1928 was a Carnival in which all types and nationalites of people came together to celebrate the arrival of Spring. It was held in Valley Beautiful, which was transformed into a typical carnival ground with its fortune teller, side shows, and pop corn stands. On the hill, overlooking all, was the queen ' s throne, approached by means of a white stairway. The program opened with the processional of the May Queen and her Attendants, the Maid of Honor and the Chancellor, and the senior girls. Miss Doris Fetherston ' had the honor of being elected May Queen by popular vote of the men of the college. Her attendants were Mary Russell and Dorothy Todd. Walter Paul was e.ected chancellor by the women of the college. He was escorted by the Maid of Honor, Doris Dixson. After the queen was seated on her throne and crowned by the Chancellor, Momus, King of the Carnival, proclaimed a day of play and rejoicing. The kings jester then gave a dance of welcome and summoned the people to the carnival grounds. All took part in the opening dance and made merry with balloons, confetti, and toy horns. The crowd was lured, however, by the cries of a side-show announcer and left the ground for a time, returning in groups for special dances. The clowns were the first to entertain and were followed by the Lollypop Kids and the Balloon Girls. Dutch, Swedes, Spaniards, Russians. Japanese, Scotch, and Irish all gave appropriate dances. The last of the program was a dance by Pierrot and Pier- rette and the four Ladies of Spring. Momus then pointed to the setting sun and declared the carnival at an end. After one last dance, in which all participated, the crowd left the carnival grounds, the Balloon Girls setting free their balloons which rose swiftly and were soon lost to sight. The above is an account of the May Fete as planned. It must be added, however that the carnival grounds were deserted sooner than had been expected, actors and spectators alike rushing headlong in all directions, seeking shelter from a storm which broke loose just as the entertainment had gotten well under way. Such is Spring!

RAVEL1NGS o 1Q30 1 Homecoming In continuation of a custom established in 1923, Monmouth held its Sixth Annual Home- coming on October 20, 1928. Tha day was much the same as other Homecoming days, in which Monmouth has been fortunate enough always to be able to rejoice over a football victory won on that day. The events of the day opened with the parade in the morning. Led by the band, this included the usual quota of decorated cars, floats, and wrecks, but only one hobo. The fraternity houses and dormitories were decorated for the occasion. The prize for the best decorated house, one of many awards furnished through the courtesy of the merchants of the town, went to Tau Kappa Epsilon. with the Pi Rho Phi house winning second honors, and the Beta Kappa house ' third. The house decoration prize and float prize are the two of the most interest each year. The Phi Kappa Pi float presenting a 4000 B. C. Homecoming took first honors. This is the first time a men ' s organization has won that contest for several years. Alumnae of the various sororities were entertained by their respective groups at lunch- eons. The big event of the afternoon was, of course, the football game with Illinois College. The Jacksonville boys, who came so near spoiling a Homecoming Day not so many years ago, did not prove so dangerous this year and fell before the Scots 21 to 0. The score, when carried on Monmouth ' s Homecoming record, made a very satisfactry background for the remainder of the day ' s program. In the evening, two of the fraternities held dinners after which they adjourned to the Auditorium where the Junior Class presented George Kelly ' s The Torchbearers. This brought an end to another successful Homecoming Day. Page F.ighty-one INGS oT 1 Q 3 O Pole Scrap One of the traditions of the college with which nearly everyone is familiar is the Pole Scrap. The fight this year was not characterized by anything so unusual as the one last year and seemed very tame in comparison. It was an interesting, well-fougnt scrap, however, which made a large group of spectators willing to stand for the entire duration of the two periods in a drizzling rain. The students and townspeople, who have come to have as great an interest in this annual event as do the students, were brought to the scene by the sounding of the whistle and the Second Church bell during the 7:45 hour. By the end of the hour period allowed them for preparation, the sophomores were established around the pole and the freshmen were im- patient for their chance to rush the pole. Many seemingly close tries to gain the pole were made by the frosh in this and the succeeding half, but they all failed. The sophomores had the usual advantages and held them well. This class fight which originated many years ago, no one is sure just when, as a color rush, has changed form several times in the interim. At its conception, the fight was used as a means of allowing the freshman and sophomore classes to vent their resentment against each other in an orderly way rather than letting the strife continue throughout the whole year. Men wore spiked shoes and climbing irons in different constests, until they were ruled out. Then the contest remained much the same until 1925 when a scrap day was held. This was not looked on with much favor and so the old pole scrap with limited representations from each of the classes was re-adopted and seems to be here to stay.

McKinley Essay Contest Senator Willam B. McKnley gave an endowment for two prizes to be awarded for advanced work in English. These awards have been given since 1925, and are made known at Commencement. Donald Beste was the winner of the prize for 1928. Page Eighty-fou RAVEL1NGS o O 1Q30 f Society A brilliant fall season in Monmouth College was opened by the traditional Walk-Out, on the evening of September 12. The Monmouth College annual walk-out is the most pop- ular of the round of parties with which the school year opens each fall. The customary excitement and tension in the air, and the periodic shooting of the gun for the ever-changing line of couples, were enhanced by the unusual concession of fair weather. Two hundred couples walked out from the square in front of Wallace Hall, led by Freda McClellan and Donald Sharpe. A stop in front of the Woodbine lor cheering and college songs, a circuit of the down-town theatres and restaurants, and a bonfire on the athletic field concluded the evening ' s program. Y. M.-Y. W. RECEPTION On Saturday night, September IS, the Y. M. and Y. W. reception for the students was held. In the receiving line were Richard Petrie, Doris Dixson, Howard McClintock, Dr. Alice Winliigler, Dr. and Mrs. T. H. McMichael, Professor and Mrs. Buchanan, Dean Cleland, and Dean Morton. An excellent program of entertainment consisted of Ice- breakers, ' a shadow play directed by Iva Stevenson, the singing of popular and college songs, double circle games, and a playlet entitled An Alphabetical Romance. The grand march of nearly 180 couples was led by Bud Horner. FACULTY RECEPTION The faculty of Monmouth College received the student body Friday evening, October 12, from 7:30 till 10:30. The reception was held in the literary halls in Wallace Hall, and was one of the most successful ever given. Nearly four hundred people were present. The halls were decorated gracefully with gorgeous fall flowers — huge baskets of chrysanthemums brought down from Chicago for the occasion combined with scores of candles and old-fashioned candelabra to gife an artistic air to the occasion. Wafers and punch were served. Those in the receiving line were: Dr. McMichael, Mrs. Edith J. Morton, Miss Win- bigler. Dean and Mrs. Cleland, Professor and Mrs. Telford, Professor Wallace, Miss McEwen, and Professor McMullen. DORM PARTY The dormitory girls of McMichael Home and of Sunnyside entertained the town col- lege girls at the annual Hallowe ' en party on Friday evening , October 26. After assembling in the reception hall of the dormitory over a hundred couples — hoboes, pirates, old-fashioned ladies, and all — marched through the dormitory to the gymnasium which had been trans- formed into a lattice-ceilinged ball room, and there passed before the judges ' stand. Prizes for originality of costumes were awarded to Ellen Work and Ruth Finney, as the Spearmint Twins, and prizes for completeness of disguise went to Grace and Mary Aitken as the Country Man and Woman. A program consisting of a clog dance by Michel Miller, and a song skit by the duo Caroyln McCleery and Mable Livingston was given. A program of dances was given after which light refreshments were served. Page Eigrhty-five ovf 1 Q 3 O FASHION SHOW AND TEA Aletheorean hall was transformed into a Japanese tea-room on the afternoon of November Ninth. Lanterns, flowers, small tea-tables with dainty china, flowers, and Japanese maidens for waitresses lent atmosphere ; and soft music was played throughout the tea, which began at 3:00. Eig Sisters brought their Little Sisters, and the wives of faculty members were also invited. Following the tea, a fashion show was held. Collegiate styles for fall and winter of all types were modeled. The tea and style show have become popular annual affairs since their introduction bv the 1927 Y. W. C. A. cabinet. DORMITORY OPEN HOUSE McMichael dormitory received all men of the college and faculty on November 7 at an informal open house which begain at 7:00 and ended at 9:00.

In the receiving line were President and Mrs. McMichael : Dean and Mrs. Cleland ; Mrs. Morton, Dean of Women; and Miss Gibson, Dean of Sunny- side. The fraternity rushing season for freshmen begins at the first of the year, and con- tinues with different periods of open and restricted rushing until October 2nd. Several unique and interesting stag parties annually come to the notice of the college. Attention was attracted this fall, too, to the reception of Phi Sigma Alpha upon their installation as the A K Chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon. PHI SIG PIG ROAST Phi Sigma Alpha entertained her rushees, alumni, and friends at the Twentieth Annual Pig Roast at the chapter house on East Broadway on Monday evening, September 25th.

Places were set for 75 at four tables in the spacious oak-paneled roms at the front of the house. The tables were arranged in the shape of the letter X with candles of blue and white. Roast pig and all the trimmings were served with apple cider. BETA KAPPA THEATRE PARTY On Friday evening, September 21, the Beta Kappa fraternity entertained its rushees and their lady friends at a theatre party given at the Rivoli.

About thirty active and alumni members with their guests were present at the party which was chaperoned by Dr. and Mrs. J. L. Sherrick. RIVER TRIPS The fraternity river-trips are some of the most charming social events of the year. They are distinctive to a few schools who have easy access to the Mississippi River and are one of Monmouth ' s oldest social conventions. They vary in details of arrangements from year to year — although practically the same, a whole day or half day, spent in Burling- ton — on the river in launches and river-steamers, at Crapo Park, and for dinner at the Burlington Hotel or one of the large boat-houses. This year the Pi Rho Phi river trip was held on Saturday, May 25th, the Teke river-trip on June 4th, the Beta Kappa on June 6th, and the Phi Kaps are back to giving theirs on Commencement Day !

Hart has done equally as much as in former years to build up the standards of intercollegiate and intramural sports here. As head football and track coach, he has turned out teams of which the institution may be proud. He has not built his teams to be winners only but to be good clean sportsmen. He has done many things for the athletic department of the school and it is our hope that he will be here many more years to carry on his program. COACH VAN ANTWERP Coming here a year after Coach Hart, Jim Van Antwerp his fitted right into his program. Van has been responsible for basketball and baseball here and has turned out good teams in both sports every year. He coached a freshman football team this year which won both the games which it is allowed under Mid- west rules and which gives prospect of being well-trained material for next year. He, like the- other men in the department, is well-liked by all the men on the campus. COACH THOM Alec came to us this year as one we had known as a student for four previous years. He had a reputation as an athlete and set about establishing one for himself as a coach. He has done remarkably well. He assisted in the coaching of football, had charge of the swimming and wrestling men, and is now coaching the freshman track squad. His teams, too, had rather good seasons. His first year of coaching points to a good future for him in that field.

In order to be eligible for the award the athlete must have made an average closer to a C than a D for his college work. Last spring the student body gave the trophy to Alex E. Thorn, by its vote. The cup was presented to him on Commencement day, which is also a provision of the award. Thorn was an outstanding athlete in two major sports while he was in college, football and track. He captained both of these sports in his senior year, being co-captain with Russell Graham in football-. He was one of the best wrestlers who has worked for Monmouth and a charter member of the Dolphin chili, men ' s aquatic club at Monmouth. Tile cup is secured each year through the Spriggs and Bradshaw Drug Company to whom the thanks of the college are due.

With over forty men reporting regularly for practice Coaches Hart and Thorn had an abundance of material available to fill up the gaps left in the ranks by the graduation of five varsity members the preceeding year. Although the team did nut quite live up to expectations yet they showed on all occasions that they were a well coached, and well balanced outfit. Monmouth was considerably handicapped during the season by an abundance of injuries which kept some of the most promising players on the sidelines. After starting off the season with a bang by defeating North Central decisively, the team -eemed to take a relapse and was slow thereafter in hitting its stride. During the season Monmouth won six games and took the count in only three. The Fighting Scots garnered fifth place in the Little Nineteen Conference by virtue of five vic- tories and o ne defeat in that circuit. In the Midwest Conference Monmouth bowed only to Coe, while the third defeat chalked up against the Red and White team was administered at the hands of Iowa University. A scrappy line was the outstanding feature of the 1928 team. Plenty of spirit and fight characterized the Scot ' s forward wall ' s play throughout the season. The one weakness displayed by this year ' s team was their lack of ability in coping with a well executed pass- ing attack. It was this fact that spelled their downfall in the games with Coe and Augustana. The first game of the season was played at Naperville with North Central College. In this encounter the Flying Dutchmen were given a decisive setback by the Scot clan to the tune of 21-0. The game was featured by much fumbling and several penalties for holding. The Monmouth team showed considerable power and ability in all departments of the game while the Walker to Cork passing combination worked to perfection. The following week Monmouth journeyed to Iowa City to receive a 20-0 drubbing at the hands of the university men. Although going down in defeat, the Fighting Scots dis- played a brand of defensive football that surpassed that of the beefy Iowa team. In this game the Monmouth line did some splendid work in holding the much touted Mayes McLain, Cherokee Indian full back, to very small gains. The game was rather disastrous to the college team however for Cork had his bad knee injured and Kirk received an internal injury which kept him out of the lineup until near the end of the season. The next encounter was with Mount Morris on the local gridiron. The visitors put up a stubborn defense to hold the Monmouth clan to two touchdowns and a safety for a 15-0 count. Almost the whole squad was used during the game. The Homecoming game with Illinois College on October 20 resulted in a 21-7 victory for Monmouth. Coach Hart ' s proteges uncorked a passing attack of the lateral and for- ward vintage early in the game which swept the Harmonites off their feet. Three touch- downs were registered for the Maple City team by this means. A forward pass in the fourth quarter was responsible for Illinois ' only marker of the game. Pa K e One Hundred Thr RAVEL1NGS o-P 1Q30 m _. 9k ffnrrycTignHi ' TTTTnwTam— w— w The next game was with Coe at Cedar Rapi-ds. The Kohawks were a strong, well- balanced team of veterans who made the going plenty tough for the Monmouth boys. Coe scored early in the game by means of a well directed forward pass and chalked up another marker later in the game by intercepting one of Walker ' s heaves to Cork. Despite the fact that the score was somewhat decisive the Scots put up a terrific battle. Monmouth threatened to score twice during the game after pushing the ball within the Coe thirty yard line, but on each occasion they seemed to lack the necessary punch to put the ball over. On the following week-end Monmouth lost a heart breaking game to Augustana by the score of 14-0. The Vikings, coached by Shorty Almquist, displayed a dazzling passing attack that the Fighting Scots were slow to fathom. Both of Augie ' s scores came in the first half as a result of passes. After receiving the kick-off at the beginning of the second half Monmouth began a steady march toward the Viking goal line which was stopped on the two yard line. Later in the game Monmouth again threatened to score by placing the ball on the six yard line. In each case however the Swede line held and Momouth was unable to score. On November 10, the Red and White team went to Lake Forest to play the Gold Coasters. The game was played in a sea of mud and water which necessitated the substitution of straight football for the usual game of forward and lateral passes. Monmouth emerged from the game on the long end of a 13-0 score. The following week the Fighting Scots engaged the Cornell college team in a mud battle on tin- home gridiron. Intent on avenging the defeat suffered at the hands of Cornell the preceeding year the Monmouth team ran and slid their way to a 21-0 victory over the Bark- erites. The annual Knox-Monmouth Turkey Day battle was the hardest fought and most inter- esting game of the season. The teams were equally matched as shown by the fact that nine first downs, were registered by each side. Monmouth was within scoring distance on several occasions, but the necessary scoring punch was lacking. The Red and White team had the advantage during most of the game, gaining 124 yards from scrimmage as compared to 118 yards for Knox. The Scots were finally able to squeeze through with a 2-0 victory after Ward of Knox fumbled a bad pass from center and fell on the ball behind his own goal line. On five occasions Knox was forced to kick from behind its own goal line. It was on one of these occasions that Ward made his fatal fumble. Tile victory over Knox was a fitting climax for the football careers of five Monmouth seniors who are lost this year by graduation. The five men are Captain Walker, quarterback: Wilcox, halfback; Cork, fullback; Burnside and Cataldo, ends. These men have been the mainstays of the grid team for the past few seasons and have surely earned the right for a niche in the Monmouth gridiron hall of fame. Monmouth was represented on the Little Nineteen all conference teams this year by Walker who was placed at halfback on the second team. Cork was given honorable mention. Burnside, Walker, and Kelsey were given honorable mention in the selection of the Midwest Conference All-Star Team. The team received fine support from the students and townspeople during the season. Even in the games away from home there were always a number of loyal Monmouth rooters present. At the football banquet given by the Kiwanis Club, nineteen men were given letters for their sterling work during the season. Also at this time Marvin Kelsey was chosen to lead the 1929 team. The football manager for the season was Morgan McKelvey. His assistants were Harry Meloy and Lester McKeown. As is the custom the manager received a sweater for his efficient services.

Gilliland Freshman Football The freshman football team this year turned out to be one of the best that has ever represented Monmouth, Over 45 men reported to Coach Van Antwerp at the beginning of the season and among them were a number of good men who should make future varsity material. Much credit is due the yearling squad for the part which they had in developing the varsity. They received a great deal of battering at the bands of the varsity, but they kept up their spirits and always came back for more. The yearlings proved to be a well-coached, hard fighting outfit in the two games that they had scheduled during the season. Cornell was defeated on the local gridiron by a score of 13-2. and the Knox frosh team fell before the Scot first year men, 6-0. at Galesburg. The game with Cornell was played on a field of mud and water Nov. 2. The Mount Vernon outfit clearly outweighed the local team but fight and determination made up for any lack of avoirdupois on the part of the Monmouth freshmen. The first score came early in the game after one of Cornell ' s punts was blocked, and the second touchdown was scored two minutes before the game was called. Cornell annexed two points when the wet ball slipped out of a Monmouth man ' s hands and he fell on it behind his own goal line. The locals romped on Coach Dean Trevor ' s Knox yearlings on Willard Field in Galesburg, 6-0. The lone score came as a result of a 15 yard run by Dan Gilliland. Scott ' s line plunging was a feature of the game. The seventeen men who were given numerals in recognition of the services rendered during the season are as follows: Windish, Sharpe, Campin, Landuyt, Boucher. Wilson. Jahn, Selzer, Dan Gilliland, Wiley, Win. Gilliland, Thorn. Corgnati, Scott. Longman. Barnes, and Wilmoth. One Hundred Si: RAVEL1NGS o p 1Q30 COACH HART With the idea that visualization is one of the best ways of teaching, Coach Hart demonstrated many of his instruc- tions. This may possibly account for the fact that he turns out as Rood teams as he does. His reputation and popularity as a football coach are growing each year. - COACH THOM Alec worked with Coach Hart and the varsity this year. He is a hard worker and also believes in demonstration. He was often to be seen playing with the freshmen against one of the varsity outfits in an effort to make his boys realize their weaknesses. COACH VAX ANTWERP Van had charge of the freshman squad this year. The results of his work are to be seen in the way his team worked. He worked his boys hard, giving them plays to run against the varsity, plays to run against other frosh teams, and keep- ing them in shape for defense scrimmage with the varsity. Papre One Hundred Seven w RAVELINGS of 1Q30 CAPTAIN WALKER Quarterback Kinky clearly demonstrated his ability as a field gen- eral by his cool-headed manner of directing the team. He was one of the best backs in the state this year and received men- tion on several mythical all-star teams. Besides being an ex- cellent broken field runner Walker did a large part of the kicking and passing for the team. He will be greatly missed next fall. CAPT.-ELECT KELSEY Center Guard Kelsey was chosen to lead the 1929 team because of the aggressiveness and fight which he displayed in every game. As roving center Kelsey has the ability to size up quickly the opponents play and meet their attack. His accurate passing and general football ability make him an excellent leader and pivot man. FRANK WILCOX Halfback Tank was probably the best blocker on the team. On backing up the line Frank was a tower of strength. After starting the season at tackle Wilcox was finally moved to the backfield where his speed and weight made him a hard man to stop. His shoes will be hard to fill next season. WALTER CORK , Fullback Cork was one of the hardest fighters on the team, but was bothered a great deal by injuries. He handled the ball nicely from the spinner position and was especially strong on de- fense. He was one of the hardest hitters 01 the ball carriers as well as a valuable man for interference. Cork graduates in June. tmamm Page One Hundred Eight RAVEL1NGS 04? 1Q30 ROBERT BURNSIDE End Burnie is another of the men lost by graduation this year. Bob developed into a valuable winginan. His specialty was getting down on punts and tackling the runner before he could get started. He was strong on defense and also very adept at receiving passes. He, too, will be missed next fall. ■ SAM CATALDO End Sammie held down his position on the right side of the line in great style. His fight and aggressiveness made him a hard man to take out of any play. Cataldo had the knack of breaking thru the interference and nabbing the ball carrier. He was fast and covered punts nicely. Sam is a member of the gang of 1928. TOM OGLE Guard Tom was one of the mainstays of the 1928 line. He used his weight to good advantage in blocking p ' lays that came his way. He was a hard worker and especially strong on defense. Tom will be with us next year. EDWARD BENCINI Quarterback Eddie was one of the cleverest broken field runners on the team. He was mighty hard to stop and often eluded would-be tacklers by spinning or side stepping. Eddie spe- cialized in running back punts for nice gains. He was also a good pass receiver. Great things are expected of Bencini next season. Page One Hundred Nil RAVELIN GS oj? 1Q30 WILLIAM MOHLENBROCK Halfback This was Bill ' s second year to hold down a position in the backfield. His strong point was his ability to size up the op- ponent ' s plays. His continual line of chatte: Kept the rest of the team encouraged and peppy. Bill is a Junior. MERLE WORK Tackle Work was one of the headiest and most consistent fight- ers on the line. He could always he depended upon to get across the line and break up the opponents plays. He was strong on defense and was fast in coming out on interference. Work has another year of competition. DALE WHITEMAN Guam Porky came back to us after two years layoff and proved to be a very valuable lineman. Although a leg injury kept him out of the lineup for several games Whiteman was always raring to go. He was especially good on defense. JOHN RODEFFER Rodeffcr was just the man looked a little tired. He is a gi to move. John looked mighty should go red hot next year.

Aggressiveness and fight characterized his plaj at all times. Owsley was a good tackier and could usu- ally be found at the bottom of every pile-up. He was also an accurate passer and performed well from tin pivot position. HAROLD MEKEMSON End Little Mek filled Cataldo ' s shoes i great style when the latter was not in the game. Although this was his first year, Mekemson developed into a very dependable end. An arm injury kept him cut of the last few games. Mekemson will be back next year. SCOT WILSON Tackle This was Scot ' s first year on the varsity and he filled his position in fine shape. He got across the line fast and broke up many plays before they got under way. On rushing passers and punters there was none better. Scot ' s size and weight make him a valuable addition to the line. STANLEY McCONNELL Halfback Stan ' ' was another member of the 1927 freshman team to make the varsity his first year out. Mac specialized in plunging and could always be depended upon lor a gain. Mc- Connell is a good defensive player and is fast and dangerous at all times. Page One Hundred Ele TRAVELINGS f 1Q30 CONANT McNEIL Tackle McNeil stepped into tackle position in nis first year on the team and performed like a veteran. Conant is big and strong and is especially good at opening holes for the hall carriers. Many times McNeil broke thru the opponent ' s line to nail the runner before he got started. With this years experience Conant should be one of the outstanding tackles in the conference next fall. EARL MEKEMSON Halfback Tlie other member of the Mekemson family on the team performed from the halfback position. Besides being an excellent blocker Earl handled the ball nicely and got off for several nice gains. He also showed a lot of ability in throw- ing and receiving passes. Earl should make a valuable back- field man next fall. ADAM KIRK Fullback Kirk had tough luck this season with injuries. In the Iowa game Adam received an injury that kept him oft tile team until the last of the season. His loss was keenly felt. He was very good as a blocker and could hit the line with no little ability. Kirk will be a valuable man next year. Pace One Hundred Twelve RAVEL1NGS oj? 1Q30 Basketball Season 1928-29 4 Vermin Horner, Captain Monmouth experienced a somewhat mediocre season on the hardwoods. The boys started out in sterling fashion with a win over Mt. Morris, but along toward the middle of the sea- son reverses of form set in and percentages in the win column seemed to decrease in size. However, several of the games were lost by very close margins, and even though the Scots were sometimes defeated they played hard. After the Mt. Morris game, the boys went in to Chicago where they went against the University of Chicago five. The effects of the game the night before told on them and they did not go so hot. On the northern trip the Scots got bumped twice, but by close scores both nights. Ham- line won 30 to 29 and Carleton, Midwest Conference winners, set the Red and White boys back by a 29 to 25 score. When the Siwash invaded the local gym they came for revenge and got it partially al- though they had to see Monmouth College receive the Review-Atlas Register-Mail turkey when it was presented for the first time. One of the encouraging parts of the season was when Monmouth took in Lawrence college, who was at the time in a tie with Monmouth and Carleton for the conference lead. The locals took in the Vikings 30-16. Twice during the season, Monmouth was able to wallop the Swedes from Rock Island. The Scots brought joy to Monmouth hearts when they overcame the strong Norsemen on their own battle ground, which isn ' t being done so often, and an even greater pride in the race became evident when the Swedes were trimmed here, too. On the whole, though the season was not altogether successful in regard to victories, it gave a team composed largely of Juniors and underclassmen a great deal of valuable ex- perience on which they can capitalize next year. Mohlenbrock retained his place as individual high scorer of the squad this year and was picked on several mythical all-star teams. Captain Horner also was honored in several instances by being the choice of coaches and sport writers on their all-star pickings. McBride is the only man who will be lost to next year ' s squad by graduation, but his absence will be felt keenly because he proved himself to be a valuable man in this year ' s aggregation.

CAPTAIN HORNER Center Bud was the mainspring of the Monmouth play. Operating from the pivot position he was seldom outclassed offensively or defensively. His height he used to a very great advant- age, especially under the bask- et. Bud was good enough to be selected by many coaches and sport writers on confer- ence teams. Besides being a very dependable player Vernon was one of the best sportsmen we have seen for quite a while. CAPT. ELECT BENCINI Guard After being forced out of play the previous year because of injuries, Eddie came back this year with that old Scotch fervor, so traditional of him on the gridiron. Eddie played the game usually from the guard position. Not only was he a clever defensive player, but a menace to the opposition by quite frequently sinking ex- tremely long shots. McBRIDE Guard Brick seemed to realize that he was playing his last year for the Red and White for he certainly made his play- ing a credit to the institution, to the game, and to himself. A fast, crafty offensive player, and a real good defense man. We are sorry indeed to lose Dean this June. -A ■ ■ ■ Page One Hundred Fifteen RAVEL1NGS 04? 1Q30 V WILLIAMSON Forward Little, but oh my ! Stubby mafic up for his smallness of stature by his lightning speed and his ability to find the hoop. Even though he was always quite busy collecting points, he- was always able to cover his man on defense. Here is a case where we should be quite thankful fur our small favors. MOHLENBROCK Forward Bill was again high-scorer of the outfit this season. The Southern Illinoisian was fear- ed and respected by all oppon- ents who met him. In all games he was guarded closeiv, yet he certainly did his share of the point getting. There are ru- mors about that Preach will not be hack with us next year. WALKER Guard Merry was a personificat- ion of the proverbial towering back-guard. Vaughn broke up nearly everything that came his way besides getting in a few long-range shots which were unusually often true to the mark. Walker is only a Soph- omore. See von next year Merry. MARROCCO Foward Another speedy midget who made it tough sledding for some of the taller, slower guards who faced him. When- ever Jimmie was sent into the fray he could usually be relied upon to come through with some points. He is a Junior so he is available for another season.

Freshman Basketball Monmouth College freshmen had a marvelous record of no defeats before them when the season started. The yearlings did their best to uphold this record set by previous teams. They came very close to turning in an unblemished season, losing only to Knox in an ex- hibition game played at the dedicatory exercises in the new Roseville High School gym- nasium. The Little Scots defeated Cornell, Augustana, Monmouth High School, and Knox once apiece. Templeton, McCreight, Landuyt. Sharpe, Corgnati. Davidson, Plater, and Henry were the principal playing members of the squad during the season. From the looks of the score sheet next year ' s varsity will inherit no mean amount of good basket-shooters. Arnold Claycomb took over the duties of coaching the Frosh throughout the season and to him is due a great deal of the credit for the fine showing the outfit made during the year. Claycomb had his previous coaching experience at Catlin High School where his teams were quite successful. We are now more than glad, however, that he decided to take up some scholastic work and in so doing found time to coach our Freshmen.

At Monmouth, however, this does not hold true in any sense of the word, but rather every year the Red and White take to the national pastime more and more. Coach Van Antwerp seems to have a knack of putting good teams on the field. The past season has been no exception. While not making so spotless a record as did the team of ' 27. the results were such that we should be justly proud of our team. The record made is especially good when one takes into consideration the fact that five members of the previous year ' s championship team were lost by graduation. Carl Dickson captained the team from the short-stop position where he played a bang-up game. Malone was the only experienced hurler at the beginning of the season, but Shoberg showed promising capabilities along this line and before the season was very old was able to take a regular turn on the mound.

Several inter-class and intramural meets were held on the indoor track before the open- ing of the outdoor season. On March 7, an indoor meet was held with Knox at Galesburg. The Siwash team triumphed by collecting 57y 2 points to 28j j points for Monm.outh. New indoor records were set up in the half mile, the two mile and the shot put. McCutcheon ran the half mile in 2 minutes 7 second ; Arnold took the two mile in 10 min. 3J4 sec. ; and Ten- nery threw the shot 37 feet.

Bond, Wrestling While wrestling is one of the newer sports at Monmouth it shows signs of becoming one of the most popular. Many fellows were out the past season. This sport is recognized as a great conditioner for football so it attracted aspirants to gridiron fame. The team this year was under the direction of Coach Thorn to whom we are grateful in- deed for the interest he has stimulated in this sport. Three meets were held during the season including one with Purdue University which the Indiana men had no trouble in winning 38-0. The boys gained invaluable experience, however, and in the next meet with one of the best college mat teams in the United States. Cornell, lost by only a 26-10 decision. The third meet of the year we lost to Iowa State Teachers 32-0. Even though we lost these meets the men gave some wonderful exhibitions of the manlv art. In the Freshman meet with Cornell a victory i a most interesting match. Cork and Bond were awarded letters while Barnes and Keatin their work. ur way to the tune of 10-8.

Swimming Although no intercollegiate contests were participated in by Monmouth college swimmers during the past year, nevertheless, swimming has become a popular as well as necessary form of sport at this institution. During the past year stress has been placed particularly on the fundamentals of swim- ming through the physical education classes. Swimming has been made compulsory in this department. Some one hundred twenty men have partaken regularly of this swiming instruction. Of this number thirty-two have learned to swim. Next year it is expected that there will be more or less competition taken on and in such event the interest displayed will no doubt be more intense. Boxing During the past year boxing classes for instruction in the manly art of scientific self defense were held under the direction of Frederick Lauder of the University of Michigan and officer in the United States Navy. Some twenty-five men took part in this sport. While there was no intercollegiate competition unusual interest was displayed in the fistic art. Next year will no doubt bring greater developments along this line and even more men will engage in the activities.

The Scots broke even as regards dual meets, winning from the Knox runners by a score of 21-34, and losing to Cornell 33-24. In the State Meet we made a remarkable showing and placed third. Dallas B eighth, H. Wolfe, tenth, Butler fifteenth, Kerr twenty-eighth, and T. Wolfe thirty- places were earned over a field of sixty-five entrants.

Dur- ing the basketball season, a total of 109 men participated in the different games. Competi- tion was unusually keen and good sportsmanship was displayed thruout. In the major league the Tekes went undefeated to win the undisputed championship. Gillilands came thru with a clean slate to cop the minor league title. The scoring honors in the major league went to Corgnati of the Pi Rho Phis, who an- nexed a total of 42 points. Butler of the Linn club was high scorer of the junior circuit with a similar number of points. Members of the regular freshman team were eligible to play and as a result several teams were materially benefitted by the work of these men.

They were led hy Lester Gabby who was elected at the general Student Body Association election last spring. At the time when he called for competitors for the posi- tions of assistant yell leaders, James Regan and Eldon Wesner were chosen. They are both freshmen. Regan has been chosen as head yell leader for next year. All three of these fellows have done splendid work in getting the student body to yell. They were at all the games and ready to go. They were assisted throughout the year by the Girls ' Pep Club. ? __ The position of yell leader is coming to be important on the Monmouth campus and it is accounted a greater honor to be elected to this position than in former years. More men should try out for the assistantships in the fall. s mm - Wesn Patte One Hundred Thirty-thr RAVELINGS ±P 1Q30 Waid Pool and Mrs. Dan Everett Waid, of Mr. Waid was the architect for The swimming pool was named thus in honor of Ml New York City, who are great benefactors of the colleg( the new gym and other buildings on the campus. This tank is used at specified times by the women of the college and is open at practi- cally all other times to the men. It is a commodious pool 22 feet by 80 feet with marked lanes. It is used for intramural meets during the year as well as for regular classes. It is expected that the pool will be used even more next year when more stress will be placed upon intercollegiate swimming. Every man who gets his finishing credit for gymnasium classes is now required to be able to swim. This pool makes that requirement an easy and enjoyable one to carry out.

Even realizing that we cannot express our fullest appreciation, we want the readers of this book to know that any good it may have in it is made possible by the untiring work of the staff members and not by the efforts of any one person. Naturally, as each new editor takes over his responsibility he hopes to make his book better than any which have gone before. If we have succeeded in making this volume any more satisfactory to the needs and desires of those who read it, then our purpose is accomplished. If it is better, or even as good, as books which have gone before, it is so because the staff has made it so. We have hoped to present you with something which will retain in your mind all that is dear to Monmouth students and make it pos- sible for those who are strangers to our campus to know something of our institution. Because it is our firm belief that Monmouth is a successful college, we chose the theme of this book and have all worked together to try to make that visual. Building on what all have done before, it is our hope that the 1931 Ravelings Staff may come closer than we have to that perfection of which each new editor dreams. — The Editor.

Every person who has graduated from Monmouth, who has attended here, or befriended her by a gift or service is considered a member, of the association. All those who pay their aumni dues qualify as active members. Active members elect not only the directors of the Alumni association but also elect nine members to the college senate. Active members also receive a copy of the Monmouth College Oracle each week of the school year. The association encourages and aids the establishment of Monmouth Clubs in the various cities and communities. The day before commencement has been, traditionally. Alumni day with a big banquet in the evening. Students little realize the thrill that an old timer experiences when he returns to the beautiful Monmouth campus — his college home. All you who will not return to Monmouth next year surely will want to be an active member of the Monmouth College Alumni Association.

National Collegiate Players, granted its twenty-sixth chapter to Monmouth College. This is one of few colleges on the chapter roll, most of the previous chapters being located in universities. The local chapter was installed by Miss Gertrude E. Johnson, of the University of Wisconsin and secretary-treasurer of the organization, and Mr. Donald Kastler, of Racine, Wisconsin, who is the editor of The Players Magazine, the publication of the fraternity. His brother, Mr. Norman Kastler, assisted in the service. Eighteen members, including Doc- tor McMichael who was made an associate member, were initiated in Miss William ' s room. After the installation of the chapter, the group met with the rest of the Crimson Masque for the annual Masque banquet at which its officers are installed.

The old Philo society became a chapter of the national Kappa Phi Sigma and has continued holding meetings regularly. This group has some good speakers in its midst and it is regrettable that they are not able to capitalize upon the practice afforded them in their meetings. After meetings on Thursday night, the Philo yell rings out over the campus. The motto of the group is, Vincit Qui Se Vincit.

Instead of continuing much as in the past, the Eccrits feel that the literary so- ciety best serves its purpose by accomodating itself to the convenience of other organiza- tions. However, the always famous Eccrit initiations continue. This meeting with the few others which the group feels to be necessary for its continuance constitutes the train- ing of its members for the annual Philo-Eccrit contest.

Marge Farrell of Olney and Frances Mahaffey of Stronghurst made up one team while Ruth Scheidegger of Fort Morgan, Colorado, and Floy Fetherston of Monmouth composed the other combination. These young ladies defeated teams from North Central College, Lombard College, Normal Univex ' sity, Carroll College, and Shurtleff College during the day and a half grind of the tournament. The men ' s outfits also took part in six debates each, and also won eleven and iosa one. Edwin Leader of Monmouth and James Van Nostrand of Washington, Iowa, were members of one team while George Kerr of Oakdale and George Bohman of Princeton debated as the other combination. The men ' s schedule included debates with North Central College, Eureka College, Illinois Wesleyan. Normal University, Carroll College, and Shurtleff College. A duo from Normal University provided the only stumbling block to a perfect score for the Monmouth arguers. The Monmouth contestants were able to make such a showing largely because they had been fully prepared by Professor Toussaint to present their cases or orations simply, sincerely, and effectively. Thorough knowledge of the question involved, and facility to adapt their arguments to those of their opponents were the outstanding features of the work by the Monmouth teams. Matthews, Miss Gillham and Miss Huey made careful preparations for their contests as shown by their performances. In the debate, Miss Mahaffey and Miss Fetherston were pleasing opening speakers who started things off right while Miss Farrell and Miss Sheidegger were effective in closing up the cases. For the men. Leader and Kerr not only set things rolling for their side but managed to pile up difficulties in front of their opponents that kept them on the defense most of the time. Bohman and Van Nostrand were partcularly adept in putting the finishing touches to a well planned line of argument. i Page One Hundred Seventy-thr vlG S oj? 1 Q 3 O T. Wolfe, D. Roberts. E.

Mr. Speer ' s oration was The Four A ' s. His speaking is characterized by clear and direct delivery and a splendid speaking voice. At the contest at McKendree, Mr. Speer competed with representatives of nine schools. The title of his oration is based on the name of a society against which he spoke: American Association for the Advancement of Atheism. He used this organization as an example of many similar ones which are springing up to the detriment of the youth of our nation. On April 12, the interstate contest was held at Monmouth between Central College of Missouri, Notre Dame of Indiana, Ripon of Wisconsin, and Monmouth College. The con- test was won by Notre Dame, and second place went to Central. During the past five years, Mnmouth has won four firsts in the state contest, a record of which the college may he very proud. In the women ' s section, Miss Ferris gave as her oration, A Call to Women. Compet- ing with entrants from seven colleges, many of them being upperclassmen, Miss Ferris was awarded third place. As she is only a sophomore, great things are expected of her in two more years of intercollegiate competition. J I ► Hi M A A A, A ▲. ▲ A. A. A. -A. A.

During the past three years, they have taken part in thirty-nine debates, have won thirty-one, lost only four and had four non-decision debates. The question debated this year was stated as follows: Resolved: that it is desirable that the practice of installment buying be drastically curtailed. The teams to debate this question were chosen after two practice debates from a squad of twelve. The remaining seven girls formed the teams for the season. The negative was led by Margaret Farrell, with Frances Mahaffey and Jane Gillham, as team-mates. The captaincy of the affirmative was shared by Floy Fetherston and Ruth Scheidegger, with Mary Jane McCracken and Marian Clark holding the other places on the team. On February 18, we debated Wheaton, the affirmative debating at home and the nega- tive at Wheaton. Both decisions were given to Monmouth. On March 6. Augustana ' s negative was defeated here, in one of the best debates of the season, the decision being given by a critic judge. The affirmative defeated Augustana at Rock Island on March 14, with the decision given by a critic judge. A trip into Wisconsin was taken on February 28 and 29. Floy Fetherston and Ruth Scheidegger, debating the affirmative, lost to Carroll, but defeated Marquette University. Tlie final triumph of the season was the sweeping victory at the Pi Kappa Delta Con- vention in Normal and Bloomington. Margaret Farrell, one of the most valuable members of the teams, graduates in June. All the others will return in the fall, and will bring as much honor to Monmouth, next season, as they have during the past one. Monmouth College is proud of these girls. Pape One Hundred Seventy-: RAVEL1NGS oj? 1Q30 Men ' s Debate Season The question for the men ' s debate season this year was : Resolved : that the public should retain ownership of, and develop the principle sources of hydro-electric power in the United States. A squad of eight men was chosen through a series of practice debates to make up the teams. The affirmative was led by George Bohman, assisted by Edward Holborow and Richard Stewart. On March 14. a non-decision debate with Cornell was held in Monmouth. The negative team of Augustana defeated our team at Rock Island on March 21. James Van Nostrand was the captain of the negative team. The other men on the team were Edwin Leader and William Hemphill. This team went to Cornell on March 15 for a non-decision debate. On March 20, Augustana lost to our negative team at Monmouth. Another question was debated on a trip to Minnesota. Resolved : that a substitute for trial by jury should be adopted. A non-decision debate on March 7 with Hamline at St. Paul was undertaken by John Matthews, captain, George Bohman and George Kerr. This same team lost to St. Olaf ' s College at Northfield, Minnesota, on March 8. The men ' s teams made a remarkable showing at the Pi Kappa Delta Convention, helping add to Monmouth ' s glory there. Three outstanding debaters, George Bohman, John Matthews, and James Van Nostrand, are lost by graduation. They will be greatly missed. Edward Holborow and William Hemphill, the two new members have shown that much may be expected of them for the next season.

Judging from arguments heard and sentiment ex- pressed, everyone liked it. The play itself embodies nearly every virtue of the theater in its most intelligent aspect. There is scarcely a superfluous word, the dialogue is incisive, we feel in its sureness a grip on life. Some of the inovations in lighting and setting were Reinhardtish — the others were Williamesque. Miss Dunn had a role which has tested the prowess of the theater ' s greatest actresses — being especially a favorite with Nazimova, Mod- jeska, Ethel Barrymore, and Duse. Miss Dunn ' s interpretation was beautifully sustained and spirited with variant moods. Her supporting cast did effective and skillful work.

The purpose of the one-act play is to produce a single dramatic effect with the greatest economy of means consistent with the utmost emphasis; its mode is derived from a central insistence upon that factor finely phrased by l ' oe as totality of impression. It presents peculiar advantages in dealing tersely with sharp contrasts of character and conflicts in social point of view which after all cause most of the vital drama of life. The Masque recognizes also its limitations and is considering a few changes in its program for the coming year.

Made up almost entirely of trained voices, its membership includes college students, conservatory students, and instructors in the conservatory. Every program, beginning with a stirring processional and carrying through finished anthems and solo numbers to the last faint echoes of the recessional, has borne effective witness to the excellent direction of Professor Austin.

Practices hav programs have been prepared. Probably the largest production was the musical drama, The Rose Maiden, presented the Thursday evening before Thanksgiving. Imported for the occassion were Charles Nor- man Granville, a baritone of national reputation, and Mrs. Blanche Wilbur, Soprano. Other solo work was done by members of the society. Wylie Stewart directed the entire per- formance. The oratorio, The Messiah, by George Frederick Handel which was to have been pre- sented the evening of Tuesday, December 18. had to be omitted because of a preventing epidemic of influenza. Activity in the Spring was resumed by the presentation, on the 25th of April, of an Orchestral Concert by the local organization, featuring Mildred Waldman, the twelve year old child pianist, and by the production of Hiawatha ' s Wedding Feast, a choral rendition of Longfellow ' s poem on May 16. The Choral Society, and Mr. Stewart in particular, is to be congratulated on the reputation that it has established for itself in musical circles. Pane One Hundred Eighty-eight jpR AVEL1NG S ±P Artist Course A very important feature offered by the college is its Artist Course which enables the students to hear the best talent the country affords. The following four attractions were brought to Monmouth during the past year by the Conservatory under the management o f Prof. T. M. Austin. Nov. 13 — Hartman String Quartet Dec. 3 — Alma Peterson, Soprano Jan. 14 — Scionti-Anderson, Two-piano Recital. Mar. 21 — Lester Spring, Basso Conservatory Programs The Monmouth College Conservatory presented a most delightful Schubert Centennial program in the auditorium on the evening of Tuesday, November 27, which was enjoyed by a large number of music lovers. The program was given in commemoration of the hun- dredth anniversary of Schubert ' s death. Pupils and instructors of the Conservatory took part in the program which was per- formed in an excellent manner. Opening with the stirring Marche Militaire, played as a two piano number, the program included many of the most loved compositions of Schubert. Something unusual in the musical history of Monmouth was the program of composi- tions by Johann Sebastian Bach given the evening of January 17 by Carolyn McCleery and Chester H. Cable, pianists, Elizabeth Miles, soprano, Martha Wennerberg, violinist, and Edna Browning Riggs, accompanist. This program, aside from its intrinsic artistry, was especially worthwhile because it so effectively refuted the idea that Bach is uninteresting. Following this program was a program of Chopin compositions given by Earle R. Davis on February 14th. Revealing now technical brilliance, now fascinating melodies, the music was varied in appeal and delightfully presented. Page One Hundred Eighty- IN G S oj? 1 Q 3 O T. Wolfe, R. Shaumcn. R.

Concerts were given in the various churches. Their program was divided into two parts: the first part was the formal program which is expected of all men ' s glee clubs and the second was a special number which was specially costumed and dramatized. The customary jazz quartet paved the way for the club with its popular concerts in the high schools. The club was under the direction of Earle Davis due to the illness of its regular director, Glenn C. Shaver. PERSONNEL Earle R.

What a wonderful feeling to know that we have again won a game. We are so made that we love to win. For the last few years Athletics of Monmouth College have made won- derful progress. Under the able direction of Coach Hart every department of Athletics has made great strides. He has won many games but he has never done so at the sacrifice of good sportsmanship. He believes the development of character among his players more essential than winning the game. He has given us a broader outlook. He has made us have a different attitude so that we do not feel that the winning of games is the supreme object of athletics. ON THE BENCH — you will always find a figure who has become a great influence in the Athletics of Monmouth College — Dr. Ralp Graham. Through his efforts scores of boys have selected Monmouth as their college and have won honors for themselves and for their college. A number of years ago Dr. Graham and other men conceived the idea of an invitation banquet for High School Athletes. These boys have come each year from the high schools for miles around. Many of them, seeing the wonderful equipment of Monmouth College, come here to school. AT THE SOUND OF THE GUN— we thank you, DOCTOR and COACH, for your vision and for the teams that you have helped to build.

A A A A A A A A ■ ■ J Page Two Hundred Nineteen RAVEL1NGS o 1Q30S A Mirror of Monmouth ' s Fraternities A good gang usually characterizes them. The memhership is quite large and repre- sents diversified talents. The history of the fraternity shows a fair majority of the best athletes on the campus; even now they claim at least one of the most outstanding in that line of activity. Their tendency at present seems, however, to be social. They wear quite effectively some of the best looking clothes on the campus (the kind you used to imagine fondly that all collitch boys wore ) ; they throw quite entertaining parties ; some of them are said, considering the envinronment, to be suprisingly good dancers; they can claim quite a competent and effective line, for they have among their members real artists along this line. Conservative enough to be safe, yet individual enough to be interesting is this prominent organization. They have been known through Monmouth history as the bachelor club. Although an occasional one or two have strayed from within the safety of the four walls and the protection of manly companionship they can still claim their state of bachelorhood largely uninterrupted. At present they lead the organizations of the campus in athletics, dragging down the majority of tlie positions on nearly every team. They have several valuable three and four letter men which make this condition possible. There are many nice manly shoulders among them, but just try and weep on them! There is a pin hung sometimes every four or five years — an event which unfailingly causes its due comment, for to separate one of these men and his pin is a feat that deserves recognition. You may recognize any one of them fairly safely either by his M sweater or his pointed neglect of the fairer sex. A fraternity once famous for its utterly sophisticated boredom and finesse in societv — now becoming rapidly more democratic and athletic. There remain only a minority of the type that used to dominate — arrogant, nonchalant, snobbish, handsome — oh you know, the kind that smoke Herbert Tarreytons not just on special occasions but al the time! They still cling to some of the old ideas and traditions but they are more approachable. They have always been prominent in school activities, and it seems evident that they always will be. They have built up an enviable reputation for always interesting and amusing their dates. Even though changed from the former status you can usually recognize them by a certain sophisticated air. They ' re really good sports — the kind of fellows you like to waste an hour with in the morning or go with on a steak roast — and as for river trips — ! There seem to be many of the broad-shouldered, dark haired type upon whom you seem to feel you may burden your cares — and they seem to like it. The truth is girls really should be warned a bit about this father-confessor complex — it seems to be most irrestible. They rate high scholastically and have had some of the outstanding men of the campus in student activity. The recognition of their ability is not limited to the campus but has made them known rather widely. It is rumored that in the fall they will have the best — well maybe not the best, — but the most unique ami unusual house on the campus. It will be close — Oh my — absolutely the ideal place lur a house, and built on such a plan, only seeing will be believing. They get places! Page Two Hundred Tv RAVEL1NGS oj? 1Q30 Tl A Mirror of Monmouth ' s Sororities Pep? Well, I ' ll say! Good looking? Amen! Good numbers? And again you ' re absolutely correct. This group of unusually talented young ladies has long been known as an organization which simply rated — there was no argument by anyone. And did you mention popularity? Well, judging by their alacricty to rate fraternity parties and their frequency of dates they have few rivals. Formerly, and even yet, they are sometimes ac- cused of being highhatters, but this is because the critique does not know the whole truth. They also have a reputation of getting what they go after, whether its a student body office or pledges. More power to them ! The best looking bunch of girls on the campus ! Whew ! That ' s some statement, but we loudly second the motion in speaking of this group. And who is mentioning dancing? And playing bridge? Oh boy! They are right there one hundred per cent. But do not accuse them of running to a social extreme. When it comes to furnishing debaters and girls with a line — we ' ll just turn to their sorority. Several scholarship cups have been known to bear their name, and — well! They are just about an all-around group. Occasionally we ' ve heard it whispered that they like to stick by themselves instead of being thoroughly democratic, but if it ' s true we certainly haven ' t observed it. We ' ll say they ' re all o. 1c. — and what more ould you ask? If you want something done — and done right; if you ' re looking for a darn good date; if you have an hour to kill at Kettering ' s; if you ' re hunting real students; or if you want a bunch which hangs together like — nobody ' s business ; take this group of Monmouth college women. They have an undisputed reputation for throwing the most elaborate, most unique and best arranged for parties on the campus. And that ' s that! Man-haters they may possibly be, and yet — we seriously doubt it — at least completely. They seem to get a big kick out of life, and they take everything in just that spirit. Their unique pin may be seen anywhere in the country and easily recognized for its unusualness. We like this group a whole lot! Who could help it? Page Two Hundred Twenty-!
