For unswerving loyalty on the part of senate, fac- ulty, alumni, student body, and friends, 1 thank you. Mazing forzvard into the seventy-fifth year of the institution ' s history may we he enabled to make it the most fruitful of them all. Pace Seventeen Travelings JOHX SCOTT CLELAND Dean of the College and Professor of Economics For those whose names and pictures ap- pear in its pages, this book through the years to come, will be a kind of fountain of youth : here the scenes of college duties, pleasures, defeats, and victories will remain unchanged ; here col- lege boys and girls will remain forever young. Here is a company of young people who have learned the sincerity of Monmouth friendships, the high level of Monmouth standards, the vig- or of Monmouth contests, and the inspiration of Monmouth ideals. The hope of the faculty for all of them is that wider horizons, larger opportunities, and greater happiness lie ahead. DAVID M. McMICHAEL Business Manager of Monmouth College After a lapse of fourteen years my pic- lure again appears in a Ravelings. To me this is an honor, and the renewed association with the Student Bodv of Monmouth College is a distinct pleasure. MARY ROSS POTTER Dean of Women In the realm of morals as well as in the literary and scientific fields there are geniuses; and I take it the moral genius is the man or woman who stands by his principles in the face of his surroundings. ' The mass of good people remain good when environment helps and does not hinder; and it is not easy to stem the tide of public opinion and custom I prize our campus tradition as not only permitting but expecting every member to rise to his own highest and ' best.

Has the class of ' 30 the type that should merit that interest? Somewhere among the group is a May-Queen, who will will he everything that is good and lovely and beautiful; a Chancellor, who will embody all the manly virtues. Whoever they are we congratulate them and knew it all the time. ( )ur Student Body President was chosen in that famous political presidential race of ' 29 in which the B. 1 . black fleet starred. We have our Sigma Omicron Mu ' s who haven ' t neglected their education, Sigma Tau Delta ' s who still appreciate good literature, and N. C. P. ' s who are not averse to a few shows a week. Is the class of ' 30 matrimonially inclined ? Both West Allis and Chicago have contributed toward the cause. And in which chair, or was it the davenport, Grace got engaged in over at Petie ' s? St. Louis has added a tiny hit of vivacity to this group and the brunettes vie with the blonds for honors. Our athletes range from the big to the little, the tall to the short of it. We have a beauty queen, a clever cartoonist, and lire of the famous songsters. We shall miss you greatly, school mates and faculty friends. Our Deans have become our trusted friends; and Doctor, with, a searching young twinkle of the eye will always embody the best in Monmouth.

This victory was a great impetus for another record. Every team representing the class in athletic competition emerged victorious. One member of the class set a new record in underwater swimming. Seventeen members were given the ath- letic award. The next year — You can ' t keep those sopho- mores down. The class continued its athletic ex- ploits. The girls also won the girls swimimng meet. By this time the class had found also new fields to conquer, in forensic, dramatic, religious, and social activities. Three were engaged in intercollegiate de- bate. One represented the college in the State ora- torical Contest for women. Last fall ' twas said, You can ' t keep those Jun- iors down. Athletic successes continued. They again furnished a representative of the college in the State Oratorical Contest for women. The Junior representative in the men ' s contest succeeded in cap- turing the state title. They also hail a feminine de- bate team which in its three years of Monmouth de- bating lost only two debates — those being at the na- tional convention of Pi Kappa Delta. So might be listed acc omplishments on the Oracle, Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., Sigma Tan Delta, National Collegiate Players, and other conquered fields.

Freshmen girls entered into hockey, swimming and basketball contests with wonderful success. Four Freshmen were placed mi debate teams and made good records. The girls ' literary society.

Page Fifty-Two ftuvelimjs iFrpaljman (ElaBB ijfostanj One of the major elements in writing worthwhile history is catching the spirit of the times and incorporating those moods into the story. May this history of the class of ' 3i he peppered with the energy of the group, so that in the years to come, the readers will he imhned with this spirit and realize the value of the class to Monmouth College and for all that which she represents. The Freshmen arc proud of their accomplishments ; they exult in their loyalty; they trust in their faith; they live for their ideals and they honor their ambitions. Yet, — they hum- hie their pride. They came in September as individuals, hut now the fillers of friendship have been so closely woven together that the first finished tapestry panel of their four years holds in its varied designs the story that depicts the best that is within them. The Freshmen passed the green cap stage with flying col- ors, and the men put up a fine battle in the pole scrap. In all of Monmouth ' s activities they have thrown their undivided spirit as no other class has done and they deem its worthy of recognition. Scholarship has been a major accomplishment of the Freshman class in which they have placed high. Among them are probable leaders of college activities m the next three years. They are especially proud of their athletes who have shown themselves in a superior way in football, basket- ball, baseball, track and the lesser sports. This was to be a history, hut it cannot be. It has proved to be only a news story and the time element is highly im- portant for tomorrw about this time the class of ' jj will be making history that will be outstanding in the annals of time. The possibilities of the class cannct he seen within its own realms, but among che Freshmen perhaps there are famous ministers, lawyers, doctors, journalists, engineers, chemists, writers, musicians, politicians, lecturers, instructors, actors and artists of the future. All that is known about them is that they are typical of the Amercan youth. — free, vivacious, generous, wholesome and glorious young men and women.

I I i pill StepreBwtatute fUxmmmtflj ninra Following the precedent of the Ravelings of former years, that oi recognizing distinguished members of the Senior class, we present three men and three women, chosen by the Student Body as representative Seniors. The order of the following names was not at all indica- tive of the highest number of votes. The committee feels that the Seniors who were chos- en were truly deserving ol this honor. The former con- tests have emphasized phases such as beauty, success, and popularity. The 1931 Ravelings, however, has combined with these qualities, a recognition of meritorious achieve- ment. The records of these students during their four years reveal the ability and accomplishment which marks them as truly representative Monmouth College Seniors. Pas, ' e Fifty -Sev Margaret Holmes has been constant- ly interested in all phases of campus life throughout her four years. She has won man}- friends and achieved success as at- tested by her election to the presidency if her sorority and her membership in the English honor society. Mis college career has been four years nf activity built upon friendships and out- standing work. Harland Hogue has a pleasing personality and posesses that ability to organize which is responsible lor his outstanding achievements. His ease and gracious manner appeal to all his man acquaintances. Nell Modder is an ardent worker and leader in her college activities, where she has made wonderful friendships. She has played a prominent part in the Y. W. C. A. and in the honorary English fraternity where she is artistic as well as practical. Fak ' e Fifty-Eight faiiv clings— _ 193i From his record as president of the Student Body we know that George Ken- has the qualities of a natural leader. He is outstanding in other phases of college life such as debate and literary achieve- ment. He has been prominent on the campus through his interest and enthusi- astic work. An industrious and enthusistic work- er especially along the line of dramatics where she has a marked success, Mary Russell ' s ability has merited her the of- fice of president of her sorority. In spite of her many activities she has been able to maintain a high scholastic record. Edwin Leader has been most suc- cessful in all his efforts, whether in de- flate, fraternity social life, or dramatics. His abilities ami interests are varied and his contact with people has made him many basting friendships. His greatest charm lies in his manner of friendly in- terest. iEati ito The May Fete this year was exceptional in beauty — and in weather! Jt was called the Play of Time and all the elements of time from Seconds (weren ' t they darling!) to Years were represented. The dances were well planned and organized and the large attendance, estimated at two thousand, showed the interest of the people in Monmouth College ' s annual May Fete. The program was so arranged that the Chancellor, James Speer, came first through the arbor anil walked to the foot of the throne. Then came Marion Huff dressed as Father Time, John Matthews as a monk repre- senting the Middle Ages and Harold White and William Lyons in collegiate clothes representing the modern age. After these had taken their places, the Senior women, formed two parallel lines to await the entrance of the May Queen and her four attend- ants. Grace Dunn came first representing Spring, Martha Brownlee as Summer, Carolyn McCleery as Autumn and Leanna Dickinson as Winter. And last Doris Dixson, dressed in simple white, came down through the line of attendants to he crowned Queen of the May by the Chancellor. The May party entered in groups, and the Fete began, ending in the traditional winding of the May pole. The beauty of the day, the velvety green of the campus, the vivid colors of the costumes all served to make the May Fete of 1929 one oi the most beautiful ami glorious ever given.

About 9 :oo o ' clock the opposing forces had been assembled, the battle field roped off, the officials stationed in their difficult positions and the war was really on. For an hour it raged, clothes were torn to shreds amid horrified screams; flving bodies rurled thro ' the air, gripped the pole ten- aciously, and then steadily yielded to the insistent clawing below.

The procession continued downtown through restau- rants, theatres and stores, announcing itself by the noisy horns and rattles.

Page Seventy-Si: Coach Hart This marks Coach Herbert L. Hart ' s sixth year as Athletic Director of Mon- mouth College. During these six years formidable track and football teams have been appearing consistently under his tutelage. Not only has he developed good teams but he has placed our ath- letic department on a par with the best small colleges in the country. Coach Thom Alec has been freshman football and track coach, wrestling coach, and instructor in swimming. Although this is hut his second year out of college, he has established a reputation for him- self which should carry him far in the coaching world, lie possesses a scien- tific knowledge of athletics, very un- common to one ol so tew years of ex- perience. Coach Smiley Bob was an outstanding athlete during his collegiate days at Monmouth and his return to Monmouth this year has proved that he is just as outstanding as a coach. Smiley was responsible for a successful basketball team last winter and our baseball team this spring. The college is fortunate to have such a man on the coaching staff. 1031 Back Row— Evers, M ond Row— Coach Hart, Ccr.nati, Kirk, Jms Moore, Ogle, Pojrue, Wilson, st Row— McNeill, Scott, Boucher, Robinson, Parli, Kuschman, McConnell. n, Sharpe, Walker, Ja Temploton, Rodeffer, Work, Cain; ?aj90tt 0 Sternrfc Monmouth 13 Monmouth Monmouth 18 Monmouth 7 Monmouth 43 Monmouth 19 Monmouth o Monmouth o Monmouth o Mount Morris o Iowa University 46 Illinois College ' 6 Coe 12 Augustana o Lake Forest o G rnell 6 North Central 13 Knox 7 90 This game was later forfeited to Monmouth because North Central had used an in- eligible player.

IJe- ■ stan. cisivelv outclassed and suffering somewhat from stage fright, the Monmouth eleven received a 46-0 drubbing at the hands of the university team. The Scots tailed to show the fight and spirit which manifested itself in former games with the Iowa school, and they were unable to make any headway against the heavy Iowa line. Constant substitutions of fresh men on the part of the lowans succeeded in wearing down the Monmouth strength. This game cost Monmouth the services of Earl Mekemson, star halfback,, for the rest of the season. Tackled unexpectedly from the side, he received a wrenched knee which forced him from the game permanently. Next week the Monmouth eleven came hack to form and tn unced the Illinois College team, 18-6. This game was the homecoming and the climax of a centennial celebration for the Jacksonville school. The Scot line functioned perfectly and the hacks took advantage of every opening. Except for a short per- iod at the start of the game the Illinois team tailed to check the Scots. McConnell raced through the Illi- nois line for two touchdowns and Scott carried the ball over the goal line for the third score. Schuster, fast Illinois hack, raced the length of the field on a fluke play to score a touchdown as the final gun sounded. Thi Illinois game was costlv to the h pes of the Mon- mouth eleven, however, for Bencini, star quarterback, was injured and his absence proved a serious handicap for the Scots in the following game. Page Eighty-One 1931 KW J Coe played Monmouth next in one of the crucial games of the season. The Iowans later became champions of the Mid west Con- ference ; and although the Scots gave them a scare by scoring a touchdown early in the third quarter, the Kohawks, led by the elusive Barrows, pushed the ball over for two touch- downs. Further offensive efforts on the pare of the Scotts were unavailing and Coe walked H. Mekemson, °ff with a 12- victory. This WHS Coe ' s Mck ' fourth consecutive football victory over Mon- mouth. Although the game each year has been one of the high spots of the season, the strong Eby-coached team has been able to eke out a victory. The following Saturday the Scots had a day off so they busied themselves preparing for the Homecoming game with Augustana, hoping to avenge the 14-0 de- feat received at the hands of the Vikings last season. Augie seemed to have lost all of her old punch and at no time did the situation present any difficulty for Coach Hart ' s men. With McConnell, Bencini and Robinson doing most of the ball toting, the Scots scored touch- down after touchdown; and when the game ended Au- gustana was buried under a 43-0 score. The strong Mon- mouth attack demoralized the Augus- tana team; and after the first touch- 1 vn was scored the Vikings went to pieces and offered only a very weak resistance to the Scots ' attack. This game established Monmouth as teams in the conference. if the strongest The next week Monmouth was host to the Lake For- est team. The previous Saturday the Gold Coasters had held the Knox eleven to a 10-6 count and they were re- Page Eighty-Two Coc Misses the Extra Point— See the Bal garded as dangerous opponents. Alter playing to a scoreless tie the first half, the Scots, let Bencini and McConnell, came back in the sec- ond peril id with an attack which netted three touchdowns. McConnell crossed the goal line twice in the third quarter and Scott scored in the final quarter. Both teams missed oppor- tunities to score in the first half by fumbling the hall when within striking distance of the goal line. The Lake Forest team never ceased fighting, and the Scots were forced to play -Jeiiy.- their best football throughout the contest. The Lake Forest ends were among the best in the conference and they succeeded in breaking through the Mon- mouth offense very spectacularly on several occasions. Ferzacca letl a pass- ing attack for the Gold Coasters which brought the ball to the Monmouth four yard line, but the punch was lacking at the goal line and the Scot walked off the field with a 1 9-0 victory. The next Saturday the Scots met Cornell at Mt. Vernon and suffered one of the biggest upsets of the season. The Cornell eleven, which had been defeated 31-0 by Knox, took advantage of a Monmouth fumble early in the game to score a touchdown; and although the Scots carried the ball up and down the field the rest of the afternoon the Iowans doggedly hung on to the advantage which they had gained and Monmouth failed to score. Sev- enteen first downs were registered in this game by the Scots to two for Cornell. Several times the Scots were within Cornell ' s ten vard line, but punch was lacking when it was most needed, and Mon- mouth was forced to taste defeat at the hands of a weaker team. This defeat eliminated the Scots from any hopes of a good standing in the Midwest confer- ence; but fortunately it was not a Little Nineteen game. However this disastrous conflict may have disturbed the morale of the team to such an extent that it was partially responsible for the out- rage Eighty-Three avelim 931 The Gnld Coast Line Stops McConnell come of the following games. On the following Friday afternoon North Central brought the strongest team developed at Naperville in years to the Monmouth gridiron to decide which team had the best right to be con- sidered as championship contender. The North Central coach had developed a team which had succeeded in crushing all opposition and Mon- mouth failed to alter this reputation. Kerth, all- L P , rIi star fullback, scored for the visitors in the second quarter. A short time later Racevich intercepted one of Corgnati ' s passes just when it looked as though Monmouth might score and raced half the length of the field for another to uchdown. Although the Scots threatened on several other occasions, the North Central team took the game 13-0. Later, however, this defeat was erased from the records because it was dis- covered that one of the North Central players was ineligible, due to a violation of the one year residence rule. Unfor- tunately this forfeiture was not disclosed until after the Knox game; for the Scots met the Si washers hoping for nothing 1 letter than second place in the conference. Prospects of a title might have made some difference on the outcome of the Turkey Dav game. Next Thursday the Scots met their traditional rivals, Km x, at Galesburg. The Siwashers had one of the strongest teams of recent years and they were doped as slight favorites before the game. The gridiron was in a slippery condition which considerably hampered the play of both teams. The Scots were a game team throu ghout and they stopped the high- Page EiKhty-Four Iftavclimjis -—1931 Iv touted Si wash backs time after time; but in the middle of the second quarter Shearer carried the ball over the goal line alter a Long pass, Center to Shearer, had placed the ball on the seven yard line.

Bencini suffered a broken collar hone in this game which kept him off the basketball floor during most of the season. Kimx, by winning this game, gained a clear title to the Little Nineteen championship and he- came the possessor of the bronze turkey for at least a year. This was only the second time since Coach Mart has come to Monmouth that the Siwashers have been victorious in this traditional game. The Scots, however, have no apologies to make. The Knox team was well-rounded and possessed suffi- cient strength to make it deserving of the conference title. This football season gave the Scots no startling record hut it could hardly be termed unsuccessful. Although Mon- mouth ' s standing in the Midwest conference was lower than it has been since the conference was organized, the team ranked close to the top in the Little Nineteen with four victories and jne defeat, eliminated from championship consideration by the defeat at Galesburg. The team was a good one and with the exception of Iowa, all the colleges on the schedule pointed for the Monmouth game and considered the Scots as dangerous opponents. A glance at the season ' s record will show clearly the strength of the Monmouth team. Although every con- ference game was not a victory, n 1 school succeeded in tramp- ling the Fighting Scots. Several oi the players received mention on all-star teams. Harold Mekemsom at right end anil Captain Kelsev at right guard were almost unanimous selections on the all-star teams; Pace Eighty-Five I.. Corgnati. Corgnati Starts Through Tackle and Bencini, McConnell, and Sharpe receiv- honorable mention from several sport critics. Men who received letters were Kel- sey, Mekemson, Downie, Ogle, Boucher, Pogue, Sharpe, Wilson, Bencini, Scott, Par- li, McConnell, Corgnati, Robinson, Kusch- nian, and Work. Of these men, Kelsey, Ogle, Work, Kuschman, Bencini, Pogue, and Downie will be lost to the squad by by graduation. •Eddie! 5 ' Scott Wilson was elected football cap- tain for next year. He played a ta ckle last year. A manager ' s letter was awarded to Harry Meloy. Laurence Evers was elected head man- ager for the next season and Dean Mann and Darrell Turner were elected assistant managers. It is hardly fair to close a review of the foot- ball season without a little tribute to the men who played on the squad all season but failed to play sufficient time in the games to receive a letter. These men. who, with almost no exception, should be valuable to the team next rear include: Bond, Rodeffer, McNeill, Templeton, Kirk, Campin, Jahn, and Walker. Monmouth should develop another strong team next season, perhaps one of championship calibre. Although some of the best players on the squad will be lost because of graduation, some real material is left, which will be reinforced by men from this sea- son ' s freshman squad. In the backfield the coaches will have Scott, McConnell, Corgnati. Robinson, Templeton, Kirk; and Speer and Muggins, who are perhaps the cream of the freshman backs. rasi ' Eighty-Si: Raveling: 43; Standing — Mgr. Turner, Robb t Stewart, Speer, Work, Hcnd.

Coach Robert Smiley in this, his first year at Monmouth, developed a team which won thirteen out of eighteen games, finishing second in the Midwest conference and eighth in the Little Nineteen. Having a group of unusually fast men on the squad, Smiley coached them in a fast breaking offense and rapid covering man-to-man defense, which proved exceedingly bothersome to all opposition. Although the team mem- bers with the exception of Horner were below the ideal height for basketball players, their speed easily overcame this handicap. Robinson and Corgnati held down the guard positions in such a manner that an opponent sel- dom got a shot inside of the foul line. These two men were also the principal cogs in the Scots ' stalling ma- chine. Bud Horner, the only veteran on the team dur- ing much of the season, jumped center. His height en- r- ahled the Monmouth five to receive the tip-off consistent- ly. Horner was a valuable man under the basket and his me games was sensational. Templeton and McCreight or Ma- rocco handled the forward positions. These three men were particularly speedy and elusive, dribbling around and through an opposing defense un- cannily. Templeton was high point man of the season and played an air- tight defensive game. Captain Bencini was kept out of the line-up through most of the schedule because of a broken collar bone received in the Knox football game. However, he came into his own during the latter part of the season and played one of the best games of his career against Iowa. The other members of the squad who played an important part in the develop- ment of this team were Walker, Hogue, Henry, and White- man. Letters were awarded to Bencini, Horner, Marocco, McCreight, Templeton, Corgnati, and Robinson. Robert Piggott received. a manager ' s sweater. Mount Morris visited Monmouth to open the Scots ' basketball season. Coach Smiley ' s team made a very aus- picious debut by trouncing the visitors, 41-12. Immediate- ly after this game the Scots left for Madison, Wisconsin, minus the services of Bud Horner who was called home just as the team was leaving. Forced to reorganize the M) npleton. team with almost no time for practice, the Monmouth quin- tet bowed to the University team, 28-10. In the game which followed with Parsons, the local five came through with a 32-2 4 victory, and a few days later won their first Midwest encounter from Ripon, 27-20. Eureka was the next team on the schedule and proved to he a stumbling block in the path of the Scots. After trailing throughout the game, the Eureka team gradually crept tip on the Monmouth crew and sunk a basket just as the game ended. They won by one point. The Cornell game was the most thrilling o! the early season contests. The Scots rallied in the second half, forced the game into an overtime period, and gained a one point advantage which won the game, 21-20. Lawrence was de- feated easily and then the Scots played a point-a-minute game at Rock Island with Augustana. The lead changed hands so many times during the game that the reporters lost count, hut Monmouth held the lead when the final gun was fired and consequently annexed another victory, 34-53. -bui. Semester examinations then played their part in the basketball season and Corgnati and Bencini came out of the melee ineligible on the eve of the Knox game. Somewhat disheartened by this break in their combination, the Scots lost to the Siwashers, 23-18. The high spot of this game was Robinson ' s guarding of Block, Knox captain. Coe was the next team to fall at the hands of the Scots. Templeton, Horner and Robinson scored twenty-four points as their hit in the 29-17 victory. Illinois College proved unable to cope with the Scot attack and consequently lost another game, this time, 31-10. Monmouth next met Beloit to decide who should hold second place in the Midwest. The Wisconsin team was held scoreless for a greater part of the first half and lost the game, 24-9. The Knox contest on the home floor was a little more satisfying to the Monmouth fans than the previous engagement. Robinson made three quick baskets in the second half to unknot a trying situation and the Scots avenged themselves, 20-13. Augustana found Monmouth her jinx and lost for the second time by a one point margin. At the half, the Scots were trailing, 17-8, and most of the fans conceded the game to the Vikings but the local fixe came hack into the game and won, 24-23. Because of the big mixup in the Little Nineteen teams, Monmouth was in a position to finish first, but Millikin, a team which had been play- ing most erratic hall all season, surprised the Scots by winning, 26-25. Pace Ninety-On 1931 gg sn ■ Coach Smiley ' s team played Hamline and Carleton on the final trip of the year. Hamline was de- feated easily, but Carleton, the con- ference leader proved a bit more dif- ficult. The Scots seemed unable t hit the fiaskct during the first half and lost, 30-18. However, during the second period .Monmouth out- fought and outscored the Minnesota team, but the advantage gained by Carleton during the first half was toe much to overcome. This game gave Carleton undisputed possession of first place in the conference, with Monmouth second. The last game of the season was played against fowa on the home jinume. floor. This game was promoted by the Kiwanis Club as a benefit for the underprivileged children of Warren County. The Iowans presented a well-balanced floor squad of accurate basket shooters, but the speed of the Scots was too much for them. As a result Monmouth avenged some of the football defeats suffered at fowa Citv. The score was 29-23. This game marked the end of the collegiate basketball careers of three Scots: Horner, Bencini, and Marocco. All of these men have been of val- uable service to the Scots for the past three vears and their places will be difficult to fill next season. However, Corgnati, Robinson, Templeton, McCreight, and Walker, who is a letter man from last year ' s squad, will be back next year to play more basketball for Coach Smiley. These men and the freshman numeral men of this year should supply enough material to make up another good team. Bud and Hug ■ r W. Ee!l, B. Speer, R. Hugirins. L. McLoskey, P. McBride. J. Moycr, C.

Ter IFrwbman lafikrthall 1929-1930 The Freshman basketball team did not equal the records set by previous frosh teams, but some unusual basketball players were on the squad and these men should be valuable varsity material next year. Two Raines were played by the yearlings with both the Augustana re- serve team and the Knox freshman team. The Vikings were easy victims on both occasions, losing to the Scots 28-19 ai1( ' 20-16. The Knox frosh were a little more difficult and they avenged some previous defeats. 20-16 and 21-20. The latter game went into three overtime periods before a decision was rendered. Huggins was the freshman sensation. He was the most elusive man 011 the team and did most of the scoring for the yearlings. Speer, McLoskey, McBride, Terry. Bencini and Meyer were some of his more promising team mates. Numerals were awarded to Huggins, Speer, McLoskey, McBride, Meyer, Bencini, and Terrev. The yearlings were coached bv Mr. Hart. Pane Ninety-Thr imm ? .J lasrball faamt 1929 Monmouth enjoyed another successful baseball season in 1929, finishing as Monmouth consistently does, well above the average. Second place in the Midwest Conference was gained by Monmouth, first place going to Knox. Baseball practice began the latter part of March, Coach Van Antwerp having a nucleus of seven men around which to build his team. Ted Shoberg was again our leading hurler, and Tom Ingram was hi. relief man. Mohlenbrock occupied the position of catcher, and was one of the most experienced men on the team, having had two previous years of varsity competition. In the infield Harold Mekemson played first; Williamson, sec- ond; Earl Mekemson, short-stop; and Parli, third. In the outfield Coach Van Antwerp used Anwyl at left field, Mitze at center, and Rodeffer at right. These ten men were awarded letters at the close of the season. Paull and Worcester were managers for the season. Monmouth has had a record of long years ' standing for putting out go od baseball teams, and the past season was no exception. The last cham- pionship team that Monmouth had was in 1927, but since then our records have been good and Monmouth is justly proud of her baseball teams. Henry Mitze was the captain of the Scot ball team during the 1929 season. Pa e Ninety-Four Parti, Van Antwerp.

Mcintosh had won the all-around championship the previous rear, and Monmouth fans had anticipated his entering this feature event again, but due to an injury, he was finally forced to withdraw. How- ever, he entered his specialty event, the high jump, and won from a field oi first class high jumpers which included the best of those in the universities of the middle west and south. Coach Hart also entered McConnell, P ' erris, and Moore in their respective events; none of these men reached the finals, but each one ran well up in his heat. Mcintosh competed in the Texas Relays held at Austin, Texas, on March 29. He tied for first in that meet with a jump of 6 ft. 1 1-8 in. On the same trip he competed in the Southern Methodist Relays and tied for third there. Mcintosh was rated by Major Griffith as one of the outstanding high jumpers in the country, ranking with King, Abernathy and Cline. An interclass meet was held February 15 and 18, and was won by the Frosh. Members of the squad spent some time preparing for this meet, and kept in training more or less until after spring vacation, when practice outside began. The spring season began by a dual meet with Cornell on May 4. Monmouth defeated Cornell by the narrow margin of 66 2-$ to 64 [-3. Mcintosh turned in the best performance of the day by winning three firsts anil a third. The next meet was a dual meet with Knox at Galeshurg. Knox took this meet, winning the majority of places in the dashes and the middle distances. At the same time, however, the Frosh saved the day for Mon- mouth by walking over the Si wash outfit. C orgnati, King and Winbigler represented Monmouth well in the track events, while Sharpe won two field events and Firmin tied for first in the pole vault. In the quadrangular meet held the following Saturday, Monmouth easily won over the other schools, Augustana, Mt. Morris, and Carthage. McConnell won the high hurdles. Stewart, the half mile, and Mcintosh added a good deal to Monmouth ' s to- tal. Rollin Moore was high point man, taking two firsts and a third. In the State Meet held at Knox field on May 25, Monmouth ranked fourth, first three places going to Knox, Lombard, and Bradlev. Mcintosh won the high jump, clearing the bar at 6 ft. 2 in., and tied for first in the pole vault. Moore placed second in the 440, and Marocco boosted Monmouth ' s totals with a third in the low hurdles. Taylor and Carmichael, both of Knox, each won two firsts, which added considerable to their teams ' points. That same week the Frosh competed in the Midwest Telegraphic Meet and placed second to Coe. Corgnati, Winbigler, Landuvt, King and Sharpe won places for Monmouth. The last meet was the Midwest Meet held at Carleton. But- ler made a sensational win for Monmouth in the two mile, and Brown placed second in the same event. Mcintosh, as usual, won the high jump and tied for first in the pole vault. Moore and Marocco also placed in their events, the 440 and low hurdles. Tatre Ninety-Six wv-k _ ®rark Sratrd SI ; .

Paw Nin. ty-Sr 1931 S V M Qkrmte 1929 The 1929 tennis season opened with only one veteran, Louis Givens, as the backbone of the net team. A great many men turned out as aspirants for the team, but Coach Van Antwerp selected Louis Givens and Eddie Ben- cini for intercollegiate competition. Several dual meets were held, in addition to the sectional tournament of the I. I. A. C. On April 20 and again on May 17 Monmouth met Augustana, losing to the fast Swede team on both occasions. On May 3 Monmouth met Macomb, and Bencini and Givens both won their matches. On May 18, the team met the net men from Mt. Morris. Bencini easily won his match, 6-0 and 6-2. Givens managed to take the other Alt. Morris player by a score of 6-3 and 6-0. On Friday and Saturday, May 10 and 11, the Little Nineteen Tennis Tourney, preliminary to the State Meet, was held at Knox College. Of the other five schools entered in this meet Monmouth had the bad fortune to be matched up with the clever racket wielders from Carthage in the doubles and lost, 6-2 and 6-1. In the singles Givens dropped his match to Reddig of Augustana, 6-2 and 6-1. Bencini forced his opponent, Carlson of Augus- tana, to extend himself before falling to the count of 6-4 and 6-2. Coach Van Antwerp and Prof. McMullen entered and won the faculty double tournament held in connection with the meet at Knox. They showed great class on the courts and overcame some high class competition. Page Ninety-Eight clings ---1931 teach Thorn. L. Juhn,:on, E. Winbigler, C. Hensleigh, G. Pogue M. Murphy. C.

The hill anil dalers this year were under the tutelage of .Alex Tin ' in. and con- cluded the season with a good record. The Scots easily won over the Cornell harriers in a dual meet, held at Mt. Vernon on November 2. In the second dual meet, held with Knox, the Siwash men nosed out Monmouth by a score of 29-26, Marsh of Knox tak- ing first place. In the Midwest Conference Cross Country Meet held at Cor- nell, Hensleigh placed fourteenth and Johnson fifteenth, giving to Mon- mouth fifth place in the conference. These two men were awarded minor varsity letters. Other men on the squad were: Pogue, Winbigler, Gibson, and Brown. Monmouth also competed in the state meet held at Peoria on Novem- her 23 The freshmen met the Cornell frosh in a dual meet, and were nosed out by a score of 11-10. Van Gundy, however, won first place in this meet, and Murphy finished third and Coppock sixth, hut the total points were not suf- ficient to offset Cornell ' s eleven points. Murphy and Van Gundv were award- ed freshman numerals in Cross Country. A Strong Finish ' Page Ninety-Nine j tutmmtng A great deal of interest in swimming has been shown this year by the men of the college. This culminated in the athletic department ' s putting on two big intramural meets which were held the latter part of March and the first part of April. Over one hundred men took part in each meet. This in- creased the spirit of competition in the various events. Each fraternity had teams entered, as well as some of the boarding clubs and non- fraternity or- ganizations. Phi Kappa Pi won both meets and broke the record in the med- ley relay. Hover of the non- fraternity group broke his own record in the back stroke. During the last several years the interest in swimming has increased considerably, perhaps due to the fact that two years of physical education are required of each man in the college, of which nearly three months are taken up by swimming classes. Every man who gets credit for physical educa- tion must kimw how to swim. Monmouth entered no intercollegiate meets this year. Boxing classes were carried on this year under the direction of Mr. Frederick H. Lauder. A fair amount of interest was shown, and about a dozen men reported regularly for practice. There was no intercollegiate competition in boxing this year, but the interest in this manly art of self defense is growing each season, and it is expected that the future will bring big results. Those who reported for prac- tice learned the fundamentals of boxing ami got a lot of enjoyment out of their practice, which was held in the boxing room on the first floor of the gymnasium. Mr. Lauder, who is a graduate of the University of Illinois and an officer in the I . S. Navy, has had considerable experience in boxing. Ta.ax ' One Hundred ]fcavc1in 931 Wrrstlutrt Wrestling, due largely to the efforts of Coach Alex Tin mi, has become one of the most popular sports of the athletic system at Monmouth, Some twenty-five men were out for wrestling at the beginning of the season as candidates for the squad. Three intercollegiate meets were held during the season. The first match was with Cornell, one of the best wrestling team.-, in the Country, and that team defeated Monmouth 34-0. In a dual meet with Wheaton, the Monmouth grapplers won six falls and got one decision out oi eight matches. Pelt of Wheaton winning his match by a decision. In the last meet of the season, Monmouth met the wrestlers of the University of Iowa, and the university men won by a score of 31-3. Bond of Monmouth won his match by a decision. Sam Bond was probably the outstanding man on the squad, losing hut one match during the vear. Kuschman and McDonald were most prominent in the 145 pound class, and Johnson in the 1 iS pound class. Keating, Rodef- fer, and Thorn were other members of the squad. Campin, a sophomore, looked good this season, and is expected to he one of the outstanding wrest- lers in the next two rears. Sam Bond was awarded a minor letter. Wrestle TaKJ One Hundred One igs -3 gW ffiil4ijft£jL jhttramural i unrtH Coach Hart has worked out a very comprehensive program of Intramu- ral sports which has been officially adopted by the athletic department. This program, which has been placed on a point system, went into effect this year. It includes basketball, track, swimming, tennis, and baseball. Probably a fall sport such as touch football or volley hall will lie inserted in the program next year. A permanent trophy is awarded each year to the organization scoring the most points in all sports. Trophies which are to be retained by the winner for one year are awarded in each sport. At the end of four years these tro- phies become the permanent property of the organizations winning them the most times, or, in case of a tie, to the group scoring the most points. The scoring of points is so arranged that the number to be scored in each sport is practically the same. This system makes it possible for an organiza- tion weak in one branch of athletics hut strong in another to have an equal chance with other organizations to win the season ' s trophy. BASKETBALL The basketball trophy this year went to the T. U. O. ' s. Their teams were victors in both the major and the minor leagues. The major league team lost but one game, to the Beta Kappas, who finished second with seven victories and two defeats. The Tekes were third, winning five out of nine games. The Phi Kaps, Commons Club, and Fighting Irish took the last three places. The T. U. O. minor league team was undefeated. Parrish Club, Beta Kappa and Phi Kappa Pi were tied for second with four victories and two defeats. Lynn Club, McCracken Club, and Tau Kappa Epsilon finished at the end of the league. Iftavclim Pace One Hunched Twr (ftliwr IfoaforB The three men pictured on this page led the cheering ' for the Student Body during the past vear. James Regan has been the head cheer leader with Delmer Squires and Lawrence Chaffee as his assistants. These three fellows have added a great deal of enthusiasm to the Mon- mouth Student Body during the spurts seasons. They have been especially valuable in conducting pep meetings at chapel and leading yells at the various football and basketball games. They were ably assisted in many instances by the Girls ' Pep Club. The head cheer leader is elected by the students in the spring. Assistant cheer leaders are selected from a group which tries out for positions in the fall of the vear.

Three records were broken in this meet. Karl King ran the two-mile in 10 min. [6.4 sec. to better his old record by six seconds, lie also set a new indoor record in the mile, run- ning it in 4 min. 49.4 seconds. The other record was made when Tom Ogle put the shot 35 ft. 9 in. to better the old record held by Pale Whiteman. SWIMMING The swimming meet was won by the Phi Kappa Pi fraternity with a a total of 70 points. The rest of the teams finished in the following order: Commons Club, 50 1-2; T. U. 0., 42 1-2; Non-Fraternity men, $j 1-2: Tau Kappa Epsilon, 24 1 2 ; and Beta Kappa, 14 1-2. Two new records were es- tablished in this meet. Hover, a non-fraternity man, set a new record in the 40 yard backstroke by swimming the course in 27.6 seconds. The medley re- lay record was lowered by a team from the Phi Kap house composed of Moore, Jahn, Boedeker, and Bond. The time for this event was 1 min. 11.1 sec. At the time the Ravelings went to press the tennis tornament and the baseball season were still in progress; and the outdoor track meet had not yet been run off, so it was impossible to predict a winner of the permanent trophy. Intramural athletics have become more popular in Monmouth year by year, and now that the new intramural system has been adopted they should grow still more. Almost every man in school has participated in at least one intramural sport.

Hart lias been Athletic Director of Mon- mouth College, he has established a record of which this institution may well be proud. The calibre of the athletic teams of the col- lege has been raised from mediocrity to ex- cellency. The physical equipment of the Ath- letic Department has been greatly improved, so that it compares most favorably with that of any small college in the country. The ath- letic department has become self-supporting and employs three full-time coaches. A com- prehensive program of intramural sports has been put into operation which gives an oppor- tunity for athletic competition to every man in school. Ail of these achievements have been the result of Coach Hart ' s untiring ef- forts. Coach Hart ' s football teams have been consistently among the best in the conferences. They have won three cham- pionships and out ol the forty- five games which his teams have played over a period of five seasons, only thirteen have been defeats. This includes four losses to the Universitv of Iowa. Incidentally, Knox, until Mr. Hart ' s arrival here, had not been defeated for eleven years. During the past five seasons Monmouth has won three of the games. Coach Hart ' s track teams also have had a high standing in the con- ferences each year. Almost every old college record has been broken by one of Mr. Hart ' s pupils. They include some of the best track men in the country. Is it not appropriate, therefore, in view of these achievements, to de- vote this space to the man who has kept the growth of the Monmouth Col- lege Athletic Department on a par with the sound growth of Monmouth College as an educational institution? The 193 1 Ravelings feels that it is, ami counts it a distinct pleasure to be able to show its gratitude in a meagre way to the man whose fight and spirit have done so much toward developing Monmouth in an athletic way.

Annuals at Monmouth from all indi cations seem to have kept pace with the newest and best in annual building despite the fact that with the making of better books comes a corresponding increase in costs. The Annual is wholly a student publication, being edited and financed entirely by the Junior Class. As each new editor takes over the responsibility which his class has bestowed upon him. he feels and hopes to make his book — the book of his Junior Class — the best book that has ever been published. Whether or not we have succeeded in giving you this — is not for us to judge. We have done our work and we must leave the decision up to you. The staff has worked long and conscientiously this year in order that they might present you with a little clearer picture of our campus and the incidents and activities which are part of our student life. We leave, then, this book to you with the hope that new Raveliugs Staffs may come even closer to that perfection for which each new editor strives. Tut: Editor.

This secret organization is primarily for the alumni members, and holds two convocations yearly; a business meeting at Homecoming and a major social event on the evening of Commence- ment Daw The alumni mp ha well de fined organization with the following permanent of- ieneral Secretary Robert E.

Each Spring the unknown eight Seniors who comprise the undergraduate roll select the eight Juniors, who seemingly have been the must outstanding men of their class in scholarship, character and campus activities. The identity of neither group then, is revealed until the publication of this book and until this page is read. This public announcement gives the eight Seniors the honor to wear the emblem of the organization which is a gold key with an Octopus and certain other secret insignia inscribed thereon. During the three years of the existence of this secret society, thirty-five Monmouth men have been initiated into the bonds of the order, the original group having consisted of eleven, before the idea of the Octopus and the limit of eight had been adopted.

The association undertakes to promote and advance the interest of Monmouth Col- lege and co-operate in all plans for her upbuilding. Believing in the value of a united front and in the strength of the bond of common interest the alumni association nurtures the sentiment of affection and regard in which our alma mater is held. Everyone who has attended Monmouth, graduate or not, and everyone who has be- friended Monmouth by gift or service is a member of the Monmouth College Alumni Asso- ciation. Active members are those who contribute to the support of the association. Ac- tive members receive the official Alumni publications. Active members elect not only the directors of the alumni assocation but nine members of the Monmouth College Senate as well. The establishment of local Alumni Clubs is urged wherever there is a sufficient num- ber of the Monmouth clan. The association arranges for the alumni reunions at commence- ment, homecoming, and other occasions. The day before commencement is traditional) Alumni Day. Students little realize the joy that an old timer experiences when he re- turns to the beautiful Monmouth campus — his college home. Students who for any reason are not returning to Monmouth next year are urged to become active members of the association. BOARD OF DIRECTORS First Group Term expires June. 1930. J.

The numbers of college men and women whose lives she has en- riched by a fuller appreciation of the speech arts, the evolution of a Lit- tle Theatre, a national honorary dra- matic fraternity, and a compact, vi- tal, closely knit group of talented amateur actors — are each in them- selves a dramatic creation as much as any single play which has delight- ed the theatre goers.

OFFICERS President Donald Winbigler Vice President Lytle McBride Secretary Margaret Stonerook Treasurer Lester McKeown Chairman Program Committee Donald MeCray Electrician Ed-win Leader Faculty Advisor Miss Ruth Williams In about six years the Crimson Masque has grown from a mere idea to a productive dramatic club, and one of the major organizations of the campus. Its forty-five members this year have materially advanced the standards of the group. In addition to numerous minor improvements in the equipment, the Masque, with the co-operation of the college adminstration, installed two hundred fifty new chairs, thus add- ing to the comfort of Little Theatre audiences. This made possible for the first time, the production of all of the 1 year ' s programs of the Masque in the Little Theatre. The year ' s work has marked the culmination of several tendencies. There has been a constant improvement in the quality of acting done by Masque members. This is due in part to a closer restriction in membership, and concentration of training to that mem- bership. In the second place, there has been a gradual improvement in the technical part of productions although this has not been so marked as that in acting. And finally, there has been developing a permanent audience of townspeople which is appreciating and de- manding more artistic dramatic productions.

The audience was moved by its appeal, intensity and the depth of interpretation exhibited by the actors. The entire performance had an air of the pro- fessional about it. the music, the chimes, the massive yet artistic setting, and the acting. Donald McCray, as the dominating factor in every movement of the drama, moved from one scene to another in the title rule, with grace and ease, displaying a strong, resolute power of spiritual magnanimity.

The play was well directed by Mary Russell.

It was one of the most delicately done tragedies ever given. The proof of Agnes Henderson ' s good directorship was evidenced in the way her actors preached their ser- mons. Lytle McBride as the dying artist, did the most outstanding piece of acting. The family-proud Aunt was well played by Helen Jamieson, ami the rebellious niece by El- len Wolfe. Page One Hundred Sixty-One Iftavelings • L — . — iUofraiij The second European play was a French satire on women, Modisty, by Herviwn. The artistic modernistic scenery in terra cotta and blue designed and painted by Dwight Thomas helped to make a very attractive setting. Jean Shontz, the director, is a capable one, wdio works untiringly for dramatic and artistic effects. CHARACTERS Henriette Margaret Stonerook Jacques Gordon Riedel Albert Edwin Leader (Ubp ilontor If at A clever romantic fantasy with an ironic twist! This drama was veery delightfully enacted by Tom Wolfe. Graham Pogue, Donald Elliot, Catherine Glassey, and Nell M odder. The most unique feature of this playlet was the picturesque setting with a garden, a wall, a moon, stars, and rustic furniture, which lent just the right touch to the play. Nell Modder ' s exceptional characterization of the maid caused much mirth among the audi- ence. Her La. la, la, will long be remembered. As was demonstrated by this play, Barbara McCrea will make a very excellent director as she seems talented along the lines of acting, designing, and creating artistic effects. Page One Hundred Sixty-Two ilVC ■i.?3!_ 4P§i Site Inor This one act play by Anton Tchekov, seemed the most truly European of the three dramas, due, perhaps, to the costumes and the Russian atmosphere that was so splendidly created. The setting was artistically designed, yet it had that air of gloom, that one con- nects with a Russian home of Tchekov ' s time. The acting was delightful because of its contrasts, fire and snap. One must give much credit to the director, Dwight Thomas. CHARACTERS The Boor William Hemphill The Widow Emily Chapman The Servant Lorance Evers ©hank fan, Inrtnr The artistic acting in this play by Gilbert Emery, was evidenced by the fact, that this play which turned out to he a most enjoyable farce, could if poorly acted, very easily have been a slap-stick comedy. The plot moved fast, with a genuine surprise finish. Robert Hickman will long he remembered for his excellent bodily action. Virginia Faris kept the audience convulsed with her true comedy spirit which carried right across the foot-lights. Lorance Evers, Henry Pattee, ami Elizabeth Winbigler were unusually good in their parts, each doing his best in order to make this the roaring comedy that it was. Page One Hundred Sixty-Three Rave ling )5i Hear Irutus By T. M. Barrie The bonds of conventional design were broken and N. C. P. entered the field of truly creative designing. The enchanted forest of the second act was particularly one of the most finished pieces of artistry ever done by college players at Monmouth. All the beauty the realism and the mystery were so deftly interwoven in the comedy that from the ele- gant setting of Lob ' s country home in the first and last acts, to the strange and ghostly- wood, little fault could be detected in either the action or stage setting.

The worshipful atmosphere at Vespers is created to a large extent by the stirring processional, the solos, the anthems, and the recessional which softly fades away. The present membership includes college students, conservatory students and instruc- tors in the conservatory. According to the director.

Mr. Shaver, the director, is to be congratulated for directing an achievement which presented many difficulties in rehearsal. Both the stage setting and the costuming were very beautifully and effectively done. The chorus scenes were unusually attractive because of the riot of colors. The most outstanding piece of acting was the performance of Don Winbigler as Ko-Ko. the Lord High Executioner. Mr. Winbigler not only sang very well, but his buffoonery was the high light of the entertainment. Don McCray, as Nanki-Poo, Dale Whiteman as the Mikado, and Tom Wolfe as Poo-Bah, complete a most excellent male cast. Don McCray ' s solos and Dale Whiteman ' s character work were very good. After hearing the rendition of Tit-Willow by Don Winbigler.

Their program included classical numbers, vocal and instrumental solos, novelties, dramatic sketches, and arrangements of popular and semi-popular music. During the regular spring vacation, the Cavaliers conducted a rather extensive tour of states to the east, visiting Dayton, Ohio; Piqua, Ohio; Cleveland, Ohio; Buffalo. New York; and Chicago. The Home Concert was given on May first in the College Auditorium. The personnel of the quartet included Don McCray, first tenor; Earle Davis, director and second tenor; Don Winbigler, baritone; and Tom Wolfe, bass. The accompanist was Miss Edna B.

Through their efforts the new song Fightin ' Scots was written by Mr. Stanton and introduced to the student body. The effectiveness of the band was increased by the purchase of a Conn Sousaphone. Moreover the Drum Major found himself bedecked in a new Drum Major ' s hat. However, if the band is to continue as a school organization, the college and the student body must make some provision for it. No one wishes to see Monmouth College without a band, yet we do not want one unless we can have a good one; so it will be necessary that M. C. do what other schools do and make some provision fur the band or the organi- zation will cease.

This marks the third straight year a Monmouth speaker has won the contest and the fifth win in the last six attempts. Of eight judge- ments rendered in the contest, he was the first choice of five and the second choice of three. Speaking on the subject, Social An- easthesia, Winbigler approached the problem oi crime and law-enforcement through a study of our complex social contacts. The way out. he declares, is through the development of a social consciousness which will exert itself through ostracism and the ballot. On April 1 1 he entered the Central Division Oratorical Contest at which time he received the unanimous applause of the audience, hut not of the judges. The contest was won by Parks College of Missouri, and Notre Dame University of Indiana. Mr. Winbigler held his audience by means of subtle approach to the subject, a well constructed oration in general, and also humorous remarks interspersed throughout the speech. The Monmouth orator received commendation on his exceptional platform personality, poise, ease of movement, rich, resonant voice, and apt use of gesture. A Nation id Merchants, was the subject chosen by Miss Janet Iluey for her ration. Unfortunately Miss Huev was in the strong section of the preliminary round because the twirls who won first and second in her round wen first and second in the finals. Her oration was an appeal for a greater emphasis on culture in the United States. She spoke easily hut with mean- ing and conviction. One of the judges gave her a first ranking and another a second. The contest was won by the orator from Wesleyan University. Tace One Hundred Seventy-On Ig p lfcdvclhi ,:!!!© E. Leader, R. Stewa S. Bond, Prof. Toussainl. Beste. E. Holborow. W.

The men were discussing the question of national disarmament, and during the season met six teams in Illinois and Bowling Green State College from Ohio. Mon- mouth won their debates with Illinois College, Augustana, Eureka, and Shurtleff, hut lost to North Central and Xormal University. The debates with the Ohio team were non-de- cision. The affirmative team was composed of George Kerr, leader; Eugene Beste, Richard Stewart, and Edward Holboro. The negative team was led by Edwin leader, and con- sisted of Sam Bond, William Bond, William Hemphill, and Franklin Loehr. This team de- bated the question of international disarmament against Eureka. Eddie and George were seniors this year and closed their debating careers very splen- didly at Witchita. We hate to see them go because they have debated for old M. C. for four years. They are outstanding debaters, each having in his Pi Kappa key, a diamond, the highest honor a debater can obtain.

These girls were all new inter-collegiate debaters, since the two Helens are Freshmen, and June, though a Sophomore, was new here this year and had not been in college debating before. However, though green, they were not poor, but instead were able to win a debate from Wheaton, whose team comprised two Seniors, ami a Junior. The other team consisted of Ruth Scheidegger, Jane Gilham and Floy Fetherston. A Wisconsin trip was made by them at which time they defeated Ripon College, Mar- quette University, and North Central. The most interesting debate of the season was, per- haps, the Ripon debate at which time Prof. Toussaint put his team up against his former coach ' s team. They also won decisions over the Wheaton affirmative and Culver Stock- ton ' s negatve team. It was necessary that they debate both sides of the question of inter- national disarmament, and in various combinations. The debate at Ripon was on national rather than international disarmament. The women ' s debate squad like the men ' s team .however, realize that debating in Mon- mouth College is due to the inspiration, zeal and hard work of Prof. Toussaint, and the in- terest and chaperonage of Mrs. Toussaint.

From the beginning of school to the end of school Pi Kappa Deltians talked about one thing — convention. Early in November they presented the melodrama, Nevada, in order to raise money to send people to Witchita. On March 26, eight Monmouth folks boarded the Santa Fe for Witchita. Edwin Leader and George Kerr started out their work with good effect. Their first six debates they won, and thus became one of the four undefeated teams among the ninety-two that started in the contest. Their next two battles, with Hastings. Neb., and Augustana Col- lege, Sioux Falls, S. D„ were lost, and along with them, the privilege of further competition. Of the six teams left after this round. Gustavus Adolphus College. St. Peter, Minn., won first place. Of the eight girls chosen to go into the finals in girls ' extempore contest, each girl had an average rating of 24 or under. Jane Gilham was the next in line with 25. Don Winbigler was also eliminated by one point. The seventh man in the men ' s oratorical contest had an average rating of 16, while Don had 17. Ruth Scheidegger and Floy Fetherston were eliminated during the initial five rounds by losing to Sterlng, Kansas, and Missouri Teachers. During the business sessions of the convention Prof. Toussaint was elected vice presi- dent of Pi Kappa Delta. Though the representatives brought home no additions to the trophy case, their trip was not futile. They had the opportunity to meet S40 speakers from 110 schools. In each one was instilled a truer appreciation of the Fine Art of Public Speaking. The slogan for the next two years is, On to Oklahoma City.

Hading the list is none other than Skin Maynard, the terror of embryonic teachers. He has produced many successful educators, however, which is quite an achievement ! To the right we find the head man of the biol- ogy department, who is noted for his ability to lure stray dogs and cats into his dissecting- room. Professor Goodrich, alias Daddy, is the distinguished gentleman just below McMullen. It is quite worth a semester of French just to see his cute little goatee wiggle as he con- jugates French verbs. In addition to parlcz vous-ing, his organ music is another source of delight to Monmouth College. Next comes Earle Spike Davis, a tough hombre who delights in snappy repartee and what-not, all of which makes his courses more enjoyable (for some people). His brilliant colleague (left) is an author of some note and is making budding novelists from his journalism students. One of the outstanding events in a col- lege career is to write a term paper for Robbie. Red pencils are in vogue if you study history, for Prof. Clark has a mania for under- lined books. It may not help the student much, but it improves the color-scheme a lot! Above is Professor Buchanan, guardian of the Gideon Bibles and keeper of the Psalms. His ; is an indispensable part in our curriculum, especially to the missionaries and preachers who ven- ture forth from this institution.

Of course the booby prize could have been won by any one of quite a number, but was finally awarded to our friend, Prof. Davis. He really won the prize on his ability to get the eight ball in the cor- ner pocket. LITTLE THEATRE TO BE SCENE One would think that the Crim- son Masque was trying to pull a fast one. However we are assured by the owners of the building that, :t really can be seen. Some of the wise cracking coeds offer their un- asked for opinion by saying that it cannot only be seen, but that it is a sight. Just as the janitor ' s and coaches were beginning to get excited over this announcement. Miss Williams tells us that National Collegiate Players are planning to hold a masked ball and that the erstwhile cracker box is to be the scene of the event. It really was surprising to see how soon the coaches got out their oarachutes and slid off of that horse that they had been riding when they were given an invita- tion to attend the ball. The invita- tion carried along with it a signed cath to the effect that the afore- mentioned riders must be fully masked. With the affair so thoroughly covered up a big time is being plan- ned, with lots of rosebuds and checker boards. The fellows enjoy watching the girls rush because they don ' t get a chance to do anything else. A home cooked meal can be spedily prepared if the can opener is sharp. They say that at times the gilds in the dorm are served billiard balls instead of buns. The way the girls distinguish between the two is to drop them on the floor—the bun always leaves the larger dent.

Illinois ALL COLLEGE PROF. TEAM CHOSEN Monmouth College is indeed for- tunate to have such an athletic fac- ulty. Taking the squad as a whole it seems that they are almost un- beatable team no matter what the game might be. For the line on the football team there is a wealth of material. Shaver gets the call for the center position. His only drawback is in front and this is decidedly in his favor. For the guards Chaffee and Buchanan seem to be the best bets. It is more than likely that one of these two men will make the all- conference team for their ability to pet in the wav is nothing short of remarkable. For a pair of vicious tackles, Clark and Haldeman seem to possess all that is desired. They have the abilitv to sense the play and once they decide upon where it will go it would take an awful ar- gument to move them or convince them differently. Maynard and Robinson are the choice for the wing positions. Can ' t you just pic- ture them catching a pass or go- ing down under a punt? For a full back, we like the looks of McClenahan. He ought to be able to crash a line something fierce. The halfbacks are to be none other than Thompson and Davis. If Davis could throw a ball like he can the bull his ability to pass would be superb. Thomnson ' s nat- ural sDeed and curly hair should make him a great favorite with the ladies which is alwa ' s an essential quality in a halfback. For safety man and nnartpr ba-k the author feels that McMullen is just too bad. Anyone that cai remember the names of bugs the wav that he does surely should b° able to re- member the signals.

The ping-pong squad is having daily practices in the gym. Bodeker and Miller are the favorites in the mixed doubles while Herman and Doty lock like a sure thing in the faculty competition. Harland Hogue and Ed Leader are leading the field in the horse- shoe pitching contest. It is their excellent ability to pitch in general that seems to be getting them by. The baseball crew is having work- ov:ts on the local diamond whenever the cced hockey team will give them a chance. Smiley says that a dis- armament conference is a sst up compared to his boys. They are just i aised and fed along fore ' gn lines. Their only rival is the basketball league. DO YOU WANT A THOUSAND DOLLARS? If so, leave your name at jcur new Bank — WIRST NATIONAL BANK SOMETHING NEW IN INTRAMURALS The college athletic department has adopted a new attitude toward intramural activities. The new pol- icy is the invention of those well known sportsmen Morton and Gra- ham. Before a student can take part in intramurals they must give evidence of citizenship or naturalization pa- pers. Anyone from Scotland is ab- solutely barred. The reason given for this is that the athletic depart- ment does not feel that kilties ar the proper thing for sports wear. Just imagine running the hurdles and holding up a skirt at the same time. ICHTHUS BOYS GO TO CHINA Nearly fifteen Ichthus Club boys are planning to visit China thi.s summer. The proposed trip is to be in the nature of a laboratory course in advanced missionary work, and the boys will get a chance to see the great Chop Suey factories and the Chow Mein forests. Special side trips will be made to visit the President cf China in his g ' ass palace. People who live in glass houses, said Professor J.

A NEW THRILL IN EACH STORY Satisfaction Guaranteed or Your Money Back HOGUE ELLIOTT BOOK STORE Page One Hundred Eighty-two The Miracle, Monmouth, Illinois TENNIS TEAM FOUND LOAFING The other day when the cca:l. came to the couits to take a squint at the prospects for the coming si a- san, not a man could be found. He searched in vain, in the heating plant and throughout the vast ex- panse known as valley beautiful He even called the Monmouth police station and had the boys searched for by their well-known defective squad. While standing on the courts looking under the net and behind trees for the runaways the coach heard a shrill voice from the east say. Oh, isn ' t he the handsomest thing. A second weak-one was not to be outdone so uttered, You poor dear, you look tired. Won ' t you sit down ? Immediately, in fact, so uuiekly that he surprised himself, the sport mentor sensed a rotten odor from the vicinity of the Copenhagen in- halers. He ran to the front door and rang the well-used bell. After displaying a forged search warrant the lucky fellow was allowed to search the dorm. On the third floor in the gym he found the entire squad of Givens, Beneini and com- pany giving an exhibition of their curve balls and out drops to a group of blondes who were so excited that they even forgot to look dumb. After reciting all of the phrases made so famous during football practice the coach gathered his group of playmates and took them back out to the courts. Somehow or other though the fellows seemed to have lost their ambition for ten- nis when they get back on the courts and just stood around blink- ing at one another. We guess that been the sudden change notice- PHI KAPS TO BUILD GOLF COURSE Phi Kappa Pi, wishing to do a peed turn in true boy scout fash- ion, are donating a part of their estate to the college on which they plan to construct a golf course.

Penny Kis- singer has been elected captain and with her capable brain we are sure to have a winning team. The demand for a women ' s foot- ball team has grown during the last few years, and bv establishing it this fall Monmouth has the distinc- tion of being the first co-educational school to allow women to play. Several experienced players will be available and with this back- ground Coach McEwen hopes to build a team which will defeat the terrible Knox-bard crew Bettv Wood, the Geneseo flash is likely to play center, while Martha Madi- son, the 104 1-2 pound Kansas C. ' tv heroine, will probably take quarter- back position. Mary Tubbs is speedy and should make a good end while Peg West will play tackle. W. A. A APPROVES BRIDGE PLAYING The coeds of the college are elated over an announcement at the last W. A. A. meeting. It was learned at that meeting that bridge play- ing is reducing. No more need the robust members of the fair sex wor- ry about losing the old S. A. be- cause their spare tire is inflated too much. All they need to do is get around a table of some sort and get the cards to flying. Of course the game must be played correctly and herein lies the well known rub. To play the game correctly, one must think and to think to Regardless lcop holes in three-fourths to have take af the dangers and the plan the weaker f our campus seem to it just like the V. W. C.

Aug. -12 — IPDQ) News has come to the Athens office of the PDQ that Greek students at the local university have declared a war, boycott, revolution, or what have you.

Clithorus wonders whi h end of the caddy Captain Alex uses when he hits the ball. TEKES HOLD OPEN HOUSE The dormitory was treated to one of those rough and tumble affairs known as an open house last Fri- day night by the Teke fraternity. Some of the boys put on a bit of entertainment for the ladies pres- ent. The main trouble had by the thai ' erones was to keep the boys and girls in separate rooms. Every now and then one from each sex would manage to slip away from the rest and study a little for Mon- day ' s classes. The Mek ' s and Meloy had their hands full in keeping the Hogue brothers away from the punch. It beats all, the drinking habits that some boys do acquire. Both of the town girls present thought that they had a fair time but the dorm girls thought that it was a riot. The rict was near a reality when the call for eats was made. All the pledges had lined up near the telephone so that they would be on hand to answer it in :ase it should ring. As far as we can figure out the situation, the nledges still do net know that the uolice call at the front door when they are making a raid on a case of whoopie. However, we feel that the Tekes should be commended on the way they can dance on carpets. It must be the constant practice during the open houses that keeps the boys in such good trim. We found out the above in format ionon an cath that we would tell none other than Clithorus and the Y presidents. You will notice from the picture that it was a truly open affair.

Instead of all the members of the frat pawning the piano to take in a dance, they pooled their expenses and found that they had two collar buttons more than the sale price of tht Armory. At once a commission of four men and Bud Horner started for Washington to see the various heads of the government about mak- ing a purchase of the desired prop- erty. Mr. Mellon was very courteous to the boys and only threw them out twice. Some of the others were :iuite rude simply because the fel- lows did not look like politicians. However, partially on account of Lheir sleepy looks, they were al- .owed to pass as congressmen in many places. They wouldn ' t tell the names of the places and we doubt that even a congressman would want to be seen in them. After much persuasion. Hoover rave the boys the desired dance hall f they promised to serve on some A his commissions. Although the calized what a dull time they would lave doing this, they felt that n acrifice would be too great if they .vculd succeed in obtaining a dance hall of their own.

THIS HAS GOT TO STOP In this photo we see the indecent scene of kissing (sometimes vulgarly known as mugging or snipe-hunt- ing ) that is enacted on the dorm steps almost every night. Nearly every min who brings his girl home from a date is inviegled in- to this hideous practice. It is time that the men of our college assert themselves and take affairs into their own hands.

SCHOOL OF CRIME Monmouth, Illinois The Miracle, Monmouth, Illinois COLLEGE BOYS FOUND TO BE HARMLESS After a careful survey cov the past two or three hours deans of the college made a important announcement the oint meeting of Pan-Hellenic and Inter-Fraternity Council. The re- port revealed the Monmouth youth is not a harmful character at all, it ' s just the way he combs his hair. The bridge and pool playing in- dulged in by the local men is not a bad sign at all. It merely shows that they are successful students. The faculty feels that no one in Monmouth takes time away from their lessons for anything. Oi course when the lessons are pre- pared, then the boys may look to other lanes and byways for their pleasure. Many a young fellow on our cam- pus has been greatly relieved since he found out for himself that he is not dangerous. Even young Doc. McMichael is no longer afraid ol himself and his terrible beard. Stew George feels that he may now sheik up to the limit without be- ing maliciously attacked by the big dorm crew. Donald Winbigler had thought that he was the best frosting on the college girls ' cake, but now that he too has found out the girls no longer fear him, he has ceased much of his reckless and carefree ways. Indeed he wastes time on himself now instead of the dormitory. The real danger on the campus is the coed in a flivver. The fac- ulty does not know what limit to place on the things a coed could do in one of these collegiate rowboats. Why one girl the other day while driving an intoxicated Ford went so far as to run over one of Sam Ham- ilton ' s chickens. And that ' s pretty far too, a little over a block from the dorm. The one thing that the collegiate being needs today, is to be under- stood by his professors and room- mates. If there is anything that will get a college boy ' s ire up, it is to have a professor ask him to re- cite, or to have his room mate come and take his best suit just as he is about to get ready for a date. And again both deans agree that either of these two matters are entirely outside of their jurisdiction. The one consolation the college boy has left to console himself with, is that he isn ' t as tough as he looks, —he couldn ' t be. And if we saw the dormitory girls in the early morning we would probably agree that they aren ' t as bad as they are painted either. HEMPHILL TOSSES THE BULL! With the ersay Wild Build I Have Thrown, Bill Hemphill, one of the best athletes that ever skipped a rope, won the frosted butter cup as the most efficient bull tosser at Monmouth. He had fairly stiff competition from Bob Work, and Tiny Johnson who are a mean pair of bovine tossers themselves. All members of the faculty were barred from the contest because of too much practice in the class room and professionalism. Hemphill gained much of his ex- perience in Spain oi, his father ' s pineapple ranch. As he accepted the cup he smiled and blushed in true cowbey fashion and of course ad- mitted that he thought that he was pretty good. In the ladies ' contest there was a triple tie in the throw for dis- tance. Peg Stonerook, Conny Grier and Grace Hannum were the ones who shared the porcelain compact which was the only prize offered.

Dwight Thomas, at right, has just thought of the most insulting name to call Mark Murphy, and is peeved because Murphy isn ' t present. In the second row is Jim McMichael, the he-man. His razor broke once and the whole Phi Kap house didn ' t shave for a week. (No one else had one). Dean Work, whose head you can see peeping over Jim ' s shoulder, is getting the low-down on the dance question (from first-hand experience) so he may report on its morals. He ' ll be heart-broken if we are allowed to dance be- fore he makes his great speech in student-body meeting. Next comes Dick Stewart, the boy orator who can speak on any subject except Women. One can never get a word in anyway, when they ' re around, so who cares? Next is Russ Jensen, editor of this book. We can ' t write anything about Russ or he ' d fire us — but most of you know all about him anyway. In the bottom row we present Mr. George Kerr, just another man who likes to sway audiences.

Harry Meloy, next, has trans- formed his room into a newspaper office and plans to install a lew printing presses there, so the Oracle will appear on time each week. Bob Shauman, of Monmouth and Kirkwood, is commonly known as Poker Face. The last time Bob ' s face showed anv expression was way hack in ' 08 when he learned the awful truth about The Stork.

Next comes Tom Wolfe, the boy soprano. His melodious voice is responsible tor the increased church attendance ( female) in Oquawka. E. Mekemson, a heavy slugger and heavy lover, is doing his best to keep peace between Wolfe and Bob Piggott, on the end. Tommy stuck out his tongue at Bob, and Bob wiggled his ears at Tommy, and then the fight started. In five minutes, however, they will he firm friends again.

In the second row are included a lot of celebrities. Tom Ingram, shiek deluxe, is the little lad from Ladd. Standing next to him is His Honor, Porky Whiteman, just a great big overgrown boy. His mustache — gone but not forgotten — is in its full glory. Too bad he didn ' t keep it longer. Next is Don Winbigler, whose shoulders have become rounded by burdens of ac- tivities. Red McLoskev, next, decided to let his hair grow in a long red braid. This ought to scare the girls away. We have with us, in the bottom row, Don Elliott, a shrinking violet — shrinking from work. Chancy Woodward standing next to him, seems to be laughing up his sleeve, but that is because Scot Wilson, beside Woodward, has just pulled a fast one about a traveling salesman. Lawrence Parli, next to him, is registering shocked dismay although inwardly enjoying himself. Doc looks as though he had got out (if the wrong side of bed this morning.

Not only your friends, par- H !! ents and teachers have had faith in ycu but many ethers whom you will never - I . 1 1 know. They are men and women who saw in Monmouth College an oppor- | x tunity to express their faith in a real way by helping to make the lives of |jj Piii 81 | young people more abundant. gj H 1 gj The beautiful campus that you know has grown out of faith in Mon- S are other tangible products of that faith. That faith in Monmouth and her SJ • ideals has caused teachers, trustees, alumni, and friends to serve generously In the future, just as in the past, Monmouth will need the faith cf her 2 S former students and friends to make possible for her students then, in propor- S g] _ . ....

There were many times when, sunk deep in the depths, it seemed it never would appear, but here it is at last. Now that the worst is over already some of the trials have become fond recollections and most pleasant memories. Certain staff members were faithful — always; some — oc- casionally; others — never. Not alone to the staff is due the fact that you now have this Ravelings, but to many others who have co-operated in its compilation. If, in the acknow- ledgement page, I have missed anyone to whom credit is due, I take this opportunity of thanking him. If anyone feels mistreatment at our hands in this book, let him remember that we must have our jokes at the expense of those, who will enjoy them as much as we have. It is my hope that the readers may find in this, the 1931 Ravelings, an annual worthy of the name and worthy of the Class of 1931 and that it may perpetuate the friendships born at Monmouth College. The joy of completion is mine — the book is yours. The Editor. Tage Two Hundred Twenty-:
