R A V EL I N C S = = 19 4 1 y Freshman Class Geraldine Moore, secretary Robert Barjces, president One liundrecl and sixty strong, they dropped from bus, train and auto prepared to take Monmouth by storm. Some were bashful, some cocky, some eager, some timid, ah entering a new workl, meeting new people, and acquiring nmv atnidsijhere. To some, college was a glamorous worth It meant dates, dances, bull sessions, sorority and fraternity pins, friends and fun. It was the resting period before they were pushed into the workl and forced to stand on their own feet. To others it meant classes, studying, grades, research, austere professors. Phi k ' ta Mu and Pi Gamma Pi. It was a four-year period of work that gave them courage to face the world. Now they have been at Monmouth for a A-ear. College has bec jme a new word to them; it means all those things and nianv more. Already a few luue gone from us. Others will drop along the way; but it is those who remain, the Class of ' 43, that will atkl to old Monmouth ' s grandeur and it is they who shall give most while the - are here, ami they who will take away the most when they leave.

We knew in ad- vance that there was going to be a fight, but we didn ' t know the exact day. One morning the signal came. It was a beautiful morning, with the sun shining upon the frosty grass and the birds singing merrily in the trees — little realizing that a fierce battle would soon be raging beneath their nests. The enemy occupied a strategic position on a level plain with their flag float- ing defiantly over them. They were an experienced crew, but this was the first engagement for us. Suddenly the signal came for advance. We could see their forces lined up with their flag waving tauntingly above them. We ciuickened to a run, but they held their fire. They were a tough-looking crew, son, but vc scarcely noticed that as we ru.shed in for a hand-to-hand encounter. We broke ranks as we neared, and then we were among them — fighting, dodging, straining toward their banner. Again and again we rused their defense, but they remained firm. The ranks thinned out, and new recruits filled the gaps. We drew back for one last rush to tear down the hated I)anner. It was magnificent, Jim. (3n we came until it seenied that the defense would be swept away like a cloud before a storm. The forces came together with, a thud and all relapsed again into a whirlpool of bodies. On pushed our men — closer and closer to the flag. Soon we would tear it from its lofty pinnacle — and then came the signal for retreat. The sophomores had won the ' Pole Scrap ' . -Robert Alm. Paee Twenty-three RA VEL!NGS = = i94i Sophomore Class John Fidi kr, president Mary Wilcox, secretary Raeph Graham student covncie representative True to sophomore tradition, the sophomores are the noisiest in Chapel, most presumptions on the campus, and the most eager to squelch a spirited frosh. They have more than their fair share of the pretty girls, and some of the most active boys on the campus. To the sophomores falls the responsibility of managing the all-school dances. They did a fine job of it at homecoming, and the spring dance promises to be equally as successful. When they entered school in the fall of 1938, they were the largest class in the history of the college, and made use of their superiority by winning the pole scrap in their freshman vear. They kept their record clean last fall by preventing any freshman from climbing the pole and removing their colors in the annual tussle. With two years of their college career over, they are just reaching the most important part of the course. In their studies they are beginning to concentrate their efforts in one or two major fields. On the athletic field, they will form the bulwark of Monmouth ' s Fighting Scots. And on the campus they are entering the spotlight, presiding over the Y. M. cabinet, preparing to publish the next ravewngs, and delving into campus politics.

Since Dr. IMcMichael turned the symbolic college seal over to Dr. Grier at inauguration when the} ' were freshmen, they have felt the significance of a new order at Monmouth. In their freshman year a new exepriment was tried in optional attendance and girls were granted new dorm hours. From that time on, the dorm lights have flickered at twelve rather than eleven on Fridays, laid at eleven forty- five on Satiu da ' nights. New graduation re(|uirements were put intu effect, and the Class of ' 41 will be rccjuircd to pass a comprehensixe exam- ination in their major field before their graduation. It is to this class that, as Seniors, Monmouth will look prt)udly and proclaim them as the first to inaugurate the newer traditions. Page Twenty-nil R A VE I !

In the Court were the prettiest girls of the Senior class, and the most popular hoys, hut that is history now When this is puhlishecl, the spotlight will he turned on another pair selected hy their fellows as the most popular of their class in college. We can only speculate as to whom they will be, so many are worthy. But whoever they are, Best wishes, and to their court, Bon voyage. Page Forty-two RA VEL ! N GS = - 1 p 4 1 Senior Class RuTii Chambers SECRETARY Franklin Wilson, student councie representative DWIGHT RUSSELE, PRESIDENT Delbert Gardner atheetic represen- TATIVE Taking their last bow, amid the clapping of hands, and lusty cheers, the Senior Class are leaving the Monmouth Theatre, aspiring for greater things. Rehearsals are over, and they are entering onto a stage, where suc- cess depends upon how thoroughly tliey learned their lines while the} were here. They played the leading roles this year, and we will miss them, their shoes cannot be filled. Other Seniors will step into the spotlight, but they will be playing other parts in another play. This one is over and done. It cannot be played over again. And so, may we say these words before you go: Well done. Page Forty-three RA VEl!NGS = --ip4i TauPi ndKOTIIV k. r.OWDKX ITaN ' NAII HlXSIlAW M. j. lilTCinSdN IvUTir Lucas Ikan Si ' Rkatt What do the Tau Piers do besides give Valentine Teas and get their pictures in the Ravelings? Tau Pi is a society made up of from five to twelve women. They are chosen when juniors and function when seniors. They are recognized by the crystal prisms they wear on necklaces. Tau Pi was organized in 1931 to promote scholarship, service, and leadership. Besides their annual tea dance, they give an annual tea for all freshman girls who have attained a high grade average, and a loving cup to the freshman girl most outstanding in the three requisites of the organization. They give teas for any visiting group on the campus and they also serve at the senior reception given at Woodbine. The local Tau Pi has the same high aims as the nationallv recognized Mortar Board with which some day it aspires to become affiliated. Pape Forty-four R A VEl !

It is the honorary organization of eight senior men who function collectively as the black-shrouded knight-errant of the castle in the moors. These eight men are selected and pledged to secrecy at the end of their junior year by the members of the preceding year. Their identity is unknown until the publishing of the Ravelings in May. One may see in Mr. Petrie ' s office testimony of their work. The new office furnishings there were donated by the alumni of the Octopus. In the past the Octopus has done its share in keeping the life on our campus from becming atrophied by the drear routine of the course of common-place events.

Hatch, Christel Gleich, Hannah Hinshaw, Jean Turnbull, Rita Johnston, an Surratt, Miss McClelland, Hila Beth Reeve, Elizabeth Jones, Jeanette Three cheers for the red, white and blue, the martial colors of Marshall Hall! Twelve girls owe allegiance to it for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness during their senior year at M. C. This year lias Ijeen unicjue in Marshall history. The Hall ' s upper land- ing will probably never again quiver beneath the pounding of impromptu rain dances, nor its study tables glow beneath the senior midnight oil. Four of the twelve girls lived — and studied — in the downstairs rooms, the other eight studied and bunked in two rooms and a bedroom upstairs. The bedroom was equipped with fovir double deck beds, which gave ample opportunity for foot work by the Lowers on the Uppers, and retaliation in the form of wet wash cloths flung down from the Uppers upon the Lowers. For those of us who lived there this year, Marshall Hall abounds in dancing memories. They race from basement to porch, through living-room and halls, and sit in the window seats and on the stairs ; memories of Rita hunting for her coat on the communal rack — of Jonesy on that 7 45 Greek Gallop — of Lukey bouncing off to bed — of Tickie prolonging a bath — of Ruthie Butch home from physiology lab — of Jeanette with alarm clock in hand — of Surratt waking up — of Doric and the telephone — of H. B. and the piano — of Chris as a housecoat hostess — of Miss McClelland and her patience — all the fun and riotousness, the friendship and loyalty, the pain and seriousness, the joy of college living packed into one little capsule and labelled Marshall Hall for Twelve Senior Girls — ' erv Easv to Take. Page Fifty-two R A VE L! N GS = = 1 p 41 New Dormitory i • . V ) Monmouth College will have a new girls ' dormitory on its campus by the fall session. This new building will be erected north of McMichael Dormitory on the site wliere the Infirmary is now located. The new dormitory will provide living quarters for ninety young wo- men and will contain a hospital or infirmary suite of ten beds on the third floor. There will also be a suite of rooms for the matron and the nurse. The living room on the first floor will extend out from the rest of the building so that it has natural light on three sides, and it will face the athletic field. There will be a large living room in the basement where the girls can enter- tain their dates, There will be only a small kitchen for the use of the girls. Meals will be taken in the old dormitory. The main entrance will be on the Ninth Street side. This new dormitory will permit the use of Sunnyside as a dormitory for freshman men. The lack of a dormitory for men has been apparent for sometime. The dormitory plans were drawn by a firm of architects with which Dan Everett Waid, late alumnus, was connected. Mr. Waid also designed the chapel, the gymnasium, and McMichael dormitory. Page Fifty-three RA VEl!NGS = = iP4i % k. Page Fifty-foul- SHffHESBEflREl FIGHTING SCOTS FIGHTING SCOTS Athletic Board of Control Standinpr: D. Gardne The Athletic Board, composed of faciiUv representatives, akimni rep- resentatives. President of the Collge, and two representatives from the Stu- dent Body, meets at the finish of each sport schedule to award varsity let- ters, minor letters, and freshman numerals to those who have fulfilleil the rec[uirements. To merit a major football M a man must plav in 50 per cent of the cjuarters for the entire season. For a basketball letter a player is recjuired to participate in 60 per cent of the halves. In track, to place in special event at a major meet, to score one or more points in a conference meet, and to score 16 or more points in two dual or triaui ular meets approved bv the Athletic Board, grants the coveted letter. The minor awards for tennis, cross country, and swimming are based upon the number of points won in the events. The financial arrangements of the entire athletic program are also under the jurisdiction of this group. FIGHTING SCOTS The M Club is purely an honorary group composed only of letter- men — this limits the activities in which the club can engage for it is t ' enied privileges granted to other groups. The only time the students got a glimpse of the club assembled was at the Pole Scrap and iluring Chapel when the freshmen — with or without their hats — trouped across the stage. Things do change — and next year the M Club will, too. A better organization is planned, with full status. A reign of terror is scheduled for the freshmen who refuse to wear their hats.

H T I N G SCOTS Football Summary Mdimiouth stiulents and football tans wilncsscil a wide-open offensi e game on the part of the Scots during the ' 39 season which was featured by brilliant running and very effective blocking. Under the direction of Coach Ivan Cahoon, the Scots got ofif to a rather slow start; but then turned in several truly spectacular performances completely baffling opponents and over-shadowing any early season set-backs. The Scots dropped their first conference encounter to Grinnell bv a score of 14-7. This was one of the very few times the Scots lacked the neces- sary scoring punch. The Scot machine soon began to function verv smoothlv, however, and put down Iowa Wesle -an and Carthage in that order bv scores of 26-6 and 17-14 respective!}-. The stage was set for an ideal Homecoming bv the 13-0 victorv over Lawrence. Probably the most outstanding A-ictory of the sea- son was the Scots ' decisive trouncing of a strong, fav- ored Augustana eleven. The schedule was completed with a 14-6 victor - over the third-place Cornell team and a 6-6 tie with Kno.x on W ' illard FieKl. The Red anil ' hite finishetl the season in the first dixision in the Mid-West Conference, with a .500 percentage ranking, winning two games, losing two, and tying two.

RICHARD SAPP Junior Halfback A consistent ground gainer, punter and passer, Dick made up with speed what he lacked in weight. FRANCIS WALLEN Senior Halfback For three years. Fritz has been a mainstay of the team. Monmouth will miss his fight and his spirit. GEORGE KAUZLARICH Junior Quarterback Playing quarterback and calling signals for the second year, George again did a swell job. RAV SCAPECCHI Junior Halfback Ray ' s spectacular runs have thrilled Monmouth fans for two years. He won All Conference berth this year, was en the second string last. JAMES RUPP Junior Center Backing up the line, knocking down short passes and centering accurately, made Jim one of the Scots ' most valuable men. LEITH NELSON Junior End Leith played his second season as regular end for the Scot varsity and won himself a first string position on the Mid-West All-Conference team. LYLE NELSON This was Lyle ' s second year as an aggressive, de- pendable, hard-to-move, battling lineman. His accurate toe tallied many extra points. JAMES VIPOND Senior Guard After his second year as Little Ail-American, Jim will leave a big hole to fill at guard. He played great football. DELBERT GARDNER Senior Guard In his third year of varsity competition, Del came through with his usual spotless play. DUDLEY PLUNKETT Senior Taekk Dud has played a fine brand of ball for three years and deserves to be called one of Monmouth ' s outstand- ing players. WALTER NICOL Junior End Playing his second year for the Red and White, Nick used both his fight and weight to great advantage in breaking up plays. FIGHTING SCOTS Second Team JOSEPH MISSAVAGE Sofihoiiwrc Back Stiff varsity competition slowed him down this year, but Joe has what it takes. Look for him next year. EDWARD VANCIL Junior Back Ed was a late season discovery, and a good one. He is a hard runner, and ably replaced injured Dick Sapp. FRANK ADAMS Junior Back Frank showed a lot of ability. Too bad that in- juries kept him out of the game so much. ROBERT DUNLAP Sophomore Back Although he was the smallest man on the team. Bobby ' s speed and power won him recognition in his first year of varsity competition. WILLIAM MARTIN Sophomore Back Bill showed great possibility in early season work- outs, but an ikle injury kept him out of uniform almost the entire season ROBERT CLELAND Junior Center Sharing the center position with Rupp, he played plenty of ball. He looked good on pass defense, knock- ing down and intercepting passes. WILLARD McMASTERS Sophomore End His first appearance in a Scot uniform, Mac put in a lot of game time, and was on the receiving end of a lot of passes. HAROLD SCHNEIDER Sophomore Guard. Back Working at either guard, or in the backfield, Hal is a boy for opposing gridders to watch. He gives them plenty of trouble. WARFORD BAKER Junior Guard Bak ' ' was troubled by sickness and injury all sea- son, consequently was not able to duplicate last year ' s outstanding performance. WILLIAM VAN TUYL Sophomore Tackle Bill is in the 200 pound class, did a swell jol) this year, and will be valuable next year in filling the vacancy left by Plunkett. KENNETH FARRAR Sophomore Tackle Up from last year ' s team, Kenny saw a lot of ac- tion this year. He has a lot of scrap, and a sure-fire toe for placements. DONALD GREEN Sophomore End Don is another newcomer to the varsity ranks. Smaller than the average Scot lineman, he is fast, and snags lots of passes.

Second Row: William Schmidt, Dudley Plunkett, Dwight Mannen, William Holm, Robert Cleland The new combination this year started with the liandicap of having to use five different floors to get used to working together. After winning only one of these five Mid-West games and getting into stride with three staight wins, examinations and a three-week lay-ofif took their toll. In spite of this, Monmouth emerged victorious in over 50 per cent of their games, and this year has had the highest offensive average on record in the history of the school, with over 42 points a game. The squad was composed of four seniors, three juniors, and three sophomores. All of the boys saw action and did their part by letting their opponents know that they were the fighting Scots of Monmouth. rage Sixty-thv FIGHTING SCOTS Basketball DUD PLUNKETT Not veo ' often does a boy like Pluiikett come along — and when he does he is a blessing to the corxh, the favorite of the fans, and a sore thumb to the op- ponents. BILL SCHMIDT Bill was varsiti ' material at the start of tiie season, Ijut even on top of that, he is b - far the most improved ])layer on this year ' s team. DIDDV M. NNEN Whenever the topic turns to basketball or height, Diddy is tops. His 6 feet 6 inches has been block- ing shots, intercepting passes, and sinking rebounds in eve ry Alonniouth game since 1937. FRANK WILSON Frank was always a steadying influence on the team, quick on defense, clever in passing, and shooting — well, the score keepers looked for his name to chalk up two points when he let a set shot go. JOHXNV VEST Smooth? Fast? That ' s right! John is the type of a player that puts pep into the game — intercepts passes -flashes up the floor, moving In other words, keeps the ball Page Sixty-four FIGHTING SCOTS Basketball HAL SCHNEIDER Snitz was by far the classiest ball-handler on the squad. Hal is a good defensive player — a good passer — a good dribbler — in short, a well-balanced type which is hard to find. GEORGE BERSTED George is a promise of trouble to Monmouth ' s rivals fo r the next two years. Although only a soph- more he saw plenty of action — always managing to score his four or five points. BOB CLELAND Cleland was always on hand when an able man was wanted. He practiced most consistently and did much to keep the whole team on their toes and in top-notcli spirit. BILL HOLM Bill was developing fast as the season closed and was rapidly gaining the confidence which comes from game experience. Now that he has this self-confidence ■we predict big things from him next year. DOPEY NORMOYLE Normoyle hit his stride in the game against Grin- nell over in Iowa. Watch for him next year — he shoots with either hand any place on the floor. Page Sixty-five FIGHTING SCOTS A special word of commendation for the boys on this team, for with their coach absent because of sickness, they trained and followed his v.-ritten instructions to both their own credit and his. In the first dual meet, Monmouth lost to Knox. The results of thi meet were somewhat novel in that five men, three from Knox and two from Monmouth, won two first places each. Hamilton of Monmouth was vic- torious in both the mile and two mile and Plunkett placed first in the shot-put and javelin. In the dual meet against the Augustana ikings the score was tied, 63 to 63 with just the last event — the mile relav — to run. It was a thriller with Monmouth coming from behind to break the tape first to cinch the meet 68 to 63. Only a small Monmouth contingent was present at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for the Mid- ' est meet. Hamilton, Currie, Plunkett, and ipond were re- sponsible for the entire 16I 2 points scored by Monmouth. Page Si.xty-six FIGHTING SCOTS Cross Country n. E. Borthwick, W. Turek, A. Cur F. McClelland, The gruelling sport of cross-country was reinstated in Monmouth two years ago as a minor sport. The course covered by the harriers is usually at least three miles in length and a good part of it is over country roads. The Scots opened their season with a meet with Wheaton between the halves of the Homcoming football game and lost by a close margin. In the Mid-West meet held at Beloit, the Red and White finished in fourth place in a field of seven. In the final meet of the year with the Beloit Bulldogs, the Scots were again nosed out of a victor3 Page Sixty-seven FIGHTING SCOTS Var sity Swimming Bob Huston.

The team of ' 40 was composed en- tirely of sophomores and competed five times during the season. There were two meets with Augustana, two with Knox, and the Mid-West meet which was held at Carleton. Seriously handicapped by the lack of veterans, the Scots failed to win a meet. The medley relay team which traveled to Carleton for the Mid-West meet took fourth place. Although the past season was not exceptionally good, the future looks much brighter for the Scots. They will have a complete veteran team re- turning reinforced by some very promising freshmen.

Each group sends a representative to the Intramural Council. The Athletic Director maintains his supervising control, but the boys set up schedules, decide who is eligible for competition, help the director in run- ning off the various sports, and make all rules for governing themselves in active competition.

Many potential varsity men were di.scovcred in the Frosh competition of the past season. The track team of ' 39 was better than average. They dropped their only dual meet to Knox by a very close margin G Vz-GTiYi. The sprint medley relay team entered the annual Beloit Relays and won a fifth place in a large field of entries. The yearlings then wound up the season with seven places in the Mid-West freshman telepraphic meet. The football team, under Coach John Lusk, split their two annual games. They whipped the Siwash first year men on the Scot gridiron by a score of 9-6. Then travelling to Rock Island the young Scots dropped a close game to Augie by a 9-7 score. A safety in the closing minutes provided the costlv handlers. Out of the fcnu games played the Scots won two and lost two. They split two games each with Knox and Augie. There were five or six men on the squad who should make the arsily eterans bask next vear .step lively to hold ehtir positions.

The athletic field is dotted with boys carrying golf clubs, as basketball, and football give way to the increasingly important summer sports. Last year the tennis doubles team pictured at the left placed second in the Illinois State Tournament. The same team had won the tournament the year before, and while they suffered the loss of one member of the team by graduation, there is plenty of new material to fill in the gap, and give Monmouth another winning team. Last vear ' s varsity team was composed of P ill Murray, Paul Zajaczkowski, Bill Tresham, and Dave Krvzanowskv. L ' p from the ranks of last year ' s freshmen team have come some golfers that make golf prospects for the present season seem extreme- ly bright. Three holes of a contemplated nine hole course on the campus have been completed and Monmouth promises to be the first small college in the vicinity to have it ' s own golf Credit is seldom given, where it is most richly deserved, and we want to say a word about the excellent work of McConnell, Kempes and Persons in pepping up all of our athletic contests. It is through the cheer leaders ' efforts that the teams on the field or court know that the student body is hole- heartedly supporting their efforts.

Since its membership is Hmited to twenty-five girls, there is great rivah-y among the co-eds to gain entrance. Each fall those girls possessing such intangible qualities as vitality, beauty and personality become the proud wearers of the red emblematic sweaters. The function of the organization is to stimulate school spirit and enthusiasm for all major athletic events. During the football and basketball seasons the girls lead the chapel .stunts and do their bit by cheering for the team. The club does not become dormant during the slack season, but holds monthly social gatherings, and sponsors open hou.se at least once a year. Page Seventy-thr F I ' G H T I N G SCOTS W. A. A.

Monthly meetings are held at which the members pre- sent creative material and precis of current literature. Each year Sigma Tau Delta sponsors a contest designed to interest freshmen in the art of creative writing. The prizes which are offered are then awarded at the commencement exercises in June. In this organization, those who feel the urge for expression find sympathetic ears and construc- tive criticism. RA VEL !

Glenn Shaver, Director. The College Choir of fifty voices has maintained its fine quality of performance again this year in providing musical selections for the monthly vesper services. Meeting twice a week under the direction of Mr. Glenn Shaver, the choir has achieved recognition as an outstanding musical organ- ization, a reputation which it well deserves. Another successful tour was made by the Concert Choir in March of this year when thirty-five singers, selected from the College Choir, travelled through Illinois, Nebraska, and Iowa. To be chosen for this trip is the goal of all choir members, and their enthusiastic performances are annually making new friends for the college. A new organization, the Freshman Choir, made its appearance on the campus this year. Under the direction of Mr. Heimo Loya, this choir re- hearses twice a week, and its members are thus being prepared for membership in the College Choir. On December 12, the College Choral Society, accompanied by the Sym- phonietta, presented Bach ' s Christmas Oratorio. Credit goes to the director, Mr. Glenn Shaver, and the chorus of one hundred voices for an excellent per- formance of a difficult musical composition. Solo parts were taken by the following: Soprano, Mary Elizabeth Uhler, Hila Beth Reeve; Contralto, Mary Elizabeth Rogers, Marjorie Stormont; Baritone, Robert Cleland; Bass, Robert Lanning. A guest soloist was Mr. John Rhinehart, baritone, of Kirkwood, Illinois.

Sports Editor ; Scott Hoyman, Editor ; Dr. Vest. Faculty Adviser. Wednesday afternoon — the Oracle is out. Students loiter outside the Library reading the latest campus gossip. The doors in the reading room swing constantly as co-eds hurry to see if they made copy this week. If their name doesn ' t appear, they don ' t like it. If they don ' t like what was said in Dorm Dregs about them, they complain and throw it in the waste basket. That is only half of the story, and the only half most students know. They don ' t know about the time the reporters spend trying to write a good story, the time the editor spends rewriting copy and bawling out arrogant feature writers for not making the deadline. They haven ' t droppd in on Tuesday night and watched the make-up stafif proof-read the galley sheets, and write heads for stories with hidden leads. They haven ' t seen it put to bed down at Hawcock ' s over a belated cup of black coffee. Our school paper is entirely a student publication. The student body elects the Editor, he selects his staff, and determines the editorial policy. A businss manager handles the financial end, and sells the advertising. RA V E L! N G S = = 1941 Y. M. C. A. The first Y. M. event of the year was the annual fall retreat held at Lake Bracken near Galesburg. This is a two day conference of both the Y. M. and Y. W. Cabinets whose purpose is the planning of the year ' s work. The 1939 Retreat not only accomplished its purpose as a planning conference but also furnished a very enjoyable two day vacation for the cabinets. Shortly following this the Y. M. held its first meeting whose aim was to welcome and accjuaint the freshmen men with the rest of the Y. M. men and to interest them in the organization. This meeting was very interesting and successful and consisted of de ' Otions, a sing, and refreshments. The next solely Y. M. affair (the Y. M. works with the Y. W, on most of the religious program of the college) was the winter dinner meeting held at the Second U. P. Church. At this meeting Mr. y rno Haach, a Y. M, secretary of St. Louis, addressed the group on the interesting problem of Foreign Affairs. Other events of interest were the Mock C )pcra, with the . W . ; installa- tion of new officers held in Dr. and Mrs. Buchanan ' s home, and the (. arnival sponsored by the group in Wallace Hall. While the projects of the Y.

How raucously it clangs through the quiet halls ! It will be nice to go home and not hear bells any more. It ' s six-thirty, Jean, time to get up. After half an hovu of silent industry — niv roommate and I never talk before breakfast — we hear the seven o ' clock bell. We must hurry from our room and down the hall or the freshmen will take all the first tables before we get there. Breakfast is a quiet, hurried meal, because everyone is engrossed in her own thoughts or else still in a sleepy stupor. From 7:45 until after chape! the dorm is more or less deserted. However, there ' s always a crowd in the living room at mail-time. You ' d think every girl in the dorm had a special love at home. During the few minutes before the bell for lunch some girls read the paper or the magazines, some play the piano and sing, others dance or stand about and talk. At lunch time conversations consist of clothes, home- work, boys, and the food. I enjoy lunch because I always hear some inter- esting gossip. After lunch everyone goes visiting and a delightful half hour of relaxation ensues. We loll on our beds and let our radios blare. Some of us are lucky enough to get telephone calls. Back to duty at i 130, and for the ne.xt three hours the dorm is again comparatively empty. But at 4:00 life begins again. The magic telephone rings tantalizingly ; the piano can be heard ; there is much laughing and talking. And so to dinner at 6 :oo. Everyone is happy to know another day is done, because that brings the week-end closer. Miss Gibson has suggested that we discuss politics and literature at the table, but again our conversations are concerning clothes, homework, bovs, and the food. Page Ninety-four SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS R A VEL!NGS= iP4i Pan Helenic Council The Pan-Hellenic Council was organized on M. C. campus in an effort to promote harmonius relationships among the sororities. Each organiza- tion has two representatives, usually the president and an underclass woman, on the council. Pan-Hellenic offices move in rotation from one group to another. Pan-Hellenic is responsible for the rushing seas on each year. Rules are made and enforced. Pan-Hellenic also enforces the quiet period between rushing and pledging. The memberss of the organization meet at least once each month to dis- cuss sororitv problems and also to keeii in toucli with tlie national org miza- tion. The annual I ' an-liellenic Tea lormallx- opens rushing. l ' ' acli orgimiza- tion provides a certain number of girls as hostesses and all freshmen and other new girls are guests. Other important campus activities carried on by Pan-Hellenic are the Song Fest and the All-Sorority Breakfast which both take place in May. R A V E II N C S = - I 9 4 1 Inter-Fraternity Council The Inetrfraternity Council meets from time to time throughout the year in attempt to create a fraternal feeling between Greek Letter t)rganiza- tions tlirough the regulati(:;n of rushing, sponsoring smokers, and discussing mutual indi -idual problems and difficulties between groups. The crowning- achievement of the council this year, was the sponsorship of Monmouth ' s first Interfraternity Ball, held at the Armory, April 13, which was a great success — thanks to the Chairman, Bill Re •nolds. A revision of the constitution and shortening of the rushing period for the coming year was attempted but as yet has not pro -ed acceptable. However, it is the conviction of the Council, that through some change in the projjosed constitution and rushing i)lan, that the pro[)osals will pass the three fraternities and will create an even more efficient fraternitv svstem at Monmouth. Page Ninety-seve R A V E LI N G S = - i 9 4t Alpha Xi Delta was founded April 17, 1893, at Lombard College in Galesburg, Illinois. Phi Delta Sigma sorority became the Beta Epsilon chapter of Alpha Xi Delta at Monmouth College on May 17, 1932. During the eight years of its existence on Monmouth campus, Alpha Xi Delta has taken an active part in student life. A typical Alpha Xi Delta year at Monmouth includes a whirl of teas, monthly Pickle-Mixes at various homes, formal parties, dinners, and eekly meetings as well as participation in college activities. The Christmas Formal this year was held at the Parochial School and featured Allen Ingram ' s orchestra. The Spring Formal is planned for May 17, and will be held at the Country Club. On February 16, twenty couples attended the Alpha chapter ' s formal party at the Hotel Custer, in Galesburg. Alpha Xi Delta has pledged eleven girls during the year. An initiation ceremony for four girls was held in the chapter room March 30. The formal dinner following was held at Hawcock ' s and its AXD Symplumy theme was carried out in the program and in decorations. Honors for the vear include the choice of Jean Surratt and Dorothea Walker for Who ' s Who Among Students in American Colleges, and also their initiation into Sigma Omicron Mu. Mar}- Heighway has become a member of Pi Gamma Pi, of which organization Miriam Adair has served as presdent.

October 23rd was Founders ' Day and Beta Gamma comemorated Kappa Delta ' s birthday by a ceremony and wearing of the green and white. In December the winter carnival formal was a wonderland of icicles and evergreen, architect — Ursula Sieber. If Kappa Deltas are together for sup- per, fun, and pledge stunts, it must be an olive binge, and at the Christmas binge preparing the gift baskets provided a gala time. Monmouth College goes to a party — and the occasion was the Wedding Open House sponsored by Beta Gamma. Festivities centered about the lively wedding in swing. With a few more pages telling of initiation — the long desired goal of pledges — held April 13th, the spring formal with its soft lights and music the senior banquet and graduation, bring to a close this year ' s story of Kappa Delta.

At present Beta Kappa ranks third among the national fraternities scholastically. Open houses, picnics and two formal parties contribute to the social life of the fraternity. The chapter house was completed in 1929 and im- provements have been added constantlv since it was l)uilt. Not only does the Pi chapter have students, but it is also well rep- resented on the facility of Monmouth College. Beta Kappa is justly proud of these members who have maintained a keen interest in the welfare of the fraternity. A very active Mothers ' Club adds a great deal to the fraternity, meets once a month, and holds at least one family night a year between parents and fraternitv brothers.

The organization began in September, 1895, as Theta Sigma Pi. whose membership was limited to eight men. In honor of its founders, the pledge button has remained a large white 8 . The activities of fraternities were debarred by the College Senate from 1874 to 1902, and in 1902 this local reappeared under the name Phi Kappa Pi. The fraternity is fortunate in having an alumni association of over 200 members, and a ladies ' auxiliary. During this vear, the calendar has been filled with Phi Kap activities. The annual Fall Party, participation in the Inter-Fraternity Dance, and the Spring Formal complete the major social events. An outstanding event was the duck dinner in December sponsored by a prominent alumnus. The women ' s auxiliary sponsored the Annual Christmas Tea. During the year the fraternity has initiated thirteen members. Phi Kappa Pi Humlred Einht R A V El!

The men of the chapter came back to school to find a completely renovated home with additional hard wood floors, wallpaper, and other changes. During the first fe w weeks, the chapter sponsored a tea for the entire student body and faculty. The purpose was to create good feeling among the fraternity men and women, the independnt studnts, and the faculty. Twenty-four men were pledged to the chaptre during the year. Proljably the outstanding social event of the year was the fall formal which was excellently planned and directed bv the social chairman, Jame Munn. The organization also enjoved a Sweetheart dinner in connection with its Delta chapter ' s winter formal to which it was invited. The rest (if the social events consisted of the annual Pig Roast and open houses whicl ' , are conducteil at the chapter house. The group is well represented in the manv activities of the college.

However, it is not the admonishing or the teaching alone that characterize these pedagogs, for each has some habit, saying, or mannerism that singles him out and imprints him into the minds and memories of the students. The Bible department would not be complete without Dr. Buclianan balancing this and balancing that, or starting his class off with a little prayer, which those who have not studied probably need. Dr. Garwood, who runs around halls with a bunch of flowers in one hand and a walking stick in the other is quite c[uaint with her Girl Scout shoes. Mr. Neil and his beret, al Parle::: voits Frances Chevrolet coupe, are an integral part of the French department. In the realm of mathematics, Pop Beveridge, M ' ho added one and one and got twins, is the pride and joy of the entire =chool. Miss Barr, who is so camera shy, would do well in an endvirance con- test for hat wearing. Miss Donald and her Espanol c[uizzes (?) will forever linger in the memory of the Spanish students. Dr. Thompson is Monmouth ' s only abnormal teacher. He teaches Abnormal Psych. Skin Maynard is slightly reminiscent of the little man who wasn ' t there. As the gears rip and the gravel flys, students know that Doc Murray is making his get- away in traditional Murray style. Doc Vest and his shock of yellow hair and his sarcastic, Ahaaaah, typify that Harvard scholar. Miss Hanna is greatly envied for her soft ac- cent, but students look with suspicion on teachers who set their alarm clocks and forget to wind them. If Prof. McCulloch ever got to class on time the Social Science department would be thrown completely off schedule. What correspondence school can do for the Lovelorn may be shown by Dr. Gar- rett Thiessen who recently placed a rock on some Iowa maid ' s third finger. Prof. Haldeman is as proud of his chemistry majors as Prof. Reid is of his amoeba cultures. How could one mention Monmouth and not name Dr. Owen? We leave you with this thought of Doc. : A is for Arch, our beloved prof., He doesn ' t really look bald till he takes his hat off. So, students come to Monmouth and live and develop in mind and spirit and then they leave, and with them go memories of Monmoutli and among these memories are those of all the profs.

The light of day, like a college career ends all too quickly. There is much that might have been done, lessons learned, fields plowed, tools forged, crops harvested. Monmouth believes that a college course is an adventure in living and learning to live. The preparation for future careers and the emphasis on those items of cultural and spiritual values develop men and women whose suset years will hold a mininmum of regrets.

When college days are just a thought and smile — A tender thought, a smile of wistfulness, There will be things we value far, far less Than open books in which we read awhile ; For open books are honest, without guile. Sharing with us every printed meaning. All their whimsies, and each serious leaning. Offering up the virtues of their style. And each book with which we hold a friendship Will grow within us till the day we die, Seizing our thought with ever closer grip, Proving there may be friends who cannot lie. An open book is such a friend to me. As unto others I would strive to be. — Hannah Hinshaiv, 1940.

Does the mere thought of so much feminine pulchritude give you the hibbie-jib- bies? Here are a few simple rules to follow, •md we guarantee that you will be the life of ' he party. DON ' T wait for the ladies to be seated. This is the age of equality. Chivalry went out along with corsets. DON ' T forget that this is the age of ef- ficiency. If you are so lucky as to have soup, crumble your crackers in it. It saves one ■operation. DON ' T, when vou eat, let one hand lie lanquidly in your lap. The purpose of eating is enjoyment. Place both elbows firmly on the table, grasp your fork solidly to propel your food to the mouth with a golf swing. DON ' T neglect the details of your toilet. The small hairs that project from the nostrils and grow about the apertures of the ears, should be scrupulously clean. DON ' T clean your nails during the main course of the meal. The lull between it and the dessert course is provided to give you a chance to make minor readjustments in your attire. DON ' T, when you spill soup on your tie, wipe it off with a napkin, that spreads it. Scrape it ofif with your knife, and dispose of it on your tongue with a flourish like a soldier returning his sabre. DON ' T wear out your welcome. East fast with noises that show your appreciation of well prepared food. A hearty belch after the meal will convince vour hostess that you enjoyed yourself.

Miss Barr was active in its organi- zation and now serves as facuhy advier. The society is honorary and in no way selective. The requirements for entrance are at least 12 hours uf col- lege work with an average of 3.26. Although it is a freshman society, members once initiated remain active throughout their college careers. Sophomores act as officers and are chosen upon entrance as freshmen. The freshmen who have attained the recjuirements of Pi Gamma Pi are initiated at a bancjuet at the beginning of the second semester. If a girl fails to attain a high enough average the first semester, she may still become a member if her grades for both semesters of her freshman year average 3.26. Phi Eta Mu Phi Eta Mu, corresponding somewhat to Pi Gamma Pi, is an organiza- tion for freshmen men whose high scholar.ship warrants recognition. Any freshman is eligible for membership if he is carrying at least twelve hours of college work, and has attained a grade point average of 3.5. Dr. Beveridge, who promoted the organization, is its faculty advisor and strives to encourage, not only the freshmen in their scholarship, but also the upperclass members in retaining their high averages.

This year Homecoming spanned three days. On Friday night a successful stunt night was held in the auditorium. Here, each group on the campus put on a stunt or some kind of a program and a prize was given to the best and most original. To top the evening off a Romeo and Juliet were chosen who went to the Prom together. They were Mary Bartling and Bill Murray. At 10 o ' clock Saturday morning the grand parade started. The theme was From Scenes Like These Old Monmouth ' s Granduer Lies. The parade was a confusion of beautiful floats, comical floats, decorated cars, commer- cial cars, commercial floats, bums, wrecks, all well trimmed with tagging youngsters and barking dogs. Immediately following the parade was a touch football game and a girls ' hockey game. Following these, visiting alumni of the greek letter societies were entertained at luncheons. At I :45 the flag was raised at the athletic feild and at 2 :oo o ' clock the whistle sounded for the kickoff of the Monmouth-Lawrence conference football game. A record crowd was present ;ind the dav couldn ' t have been better. Between the halves the prizes for floats, individuals and house decorations were an- nounced. As the final whistle blew the specta- tors realized that Monmouth had walked off vi ' ith Lawrence 13-0. What a game! jMumni and parents were entertained at dinner in the dormitories, fraterniti ' . s, and arious other places. Doc Lawson and his swing electric or- gan and orchestra furnished music for the gala Prom in the gym. On Sunday there were Vespers for all Homecomers. and afterward good-bye ' s and Homecoming was over for another year.

The college purchased three regulation rifles and paid the range fees for the first time in the history of the cluh. Several meets were arranged !)y David Renner, the president, hut only two were fired, owing to the late organization, of the cluh. The girls fired against Ripon, and the boys against St. Johns. The latter meet was thrown out be- cause of a misunderstanding about weight limits. However, the students who shot this year gained much valuable experience and Monmouth should have a strong rifle scjuad, especially in the men ' s division, next year. An intramural meet was held the last week in April this year, with five teams taking part. The Phi Kaps walked off with the honors. IF YOU WANT THE BEST TRY OUR MERCHANDISE TORL€y HflRDlJUAR€ CO.

In the Speech department, Miss Evelyn Stice took the place of Miss Williams, who is study- ing in California. Dr. Ross is filling the place left in the Chemistry department by the illness of Professor Haldeman. Miss Stice, who is a member of the Class of ' 37 taught for two years in Alexis High School, and attended summer school ;it the University of Iowa. Last semester, she was at the University of Iowa studying dramatic art. Besides her work in speech, to Miss Stice have fallen the duties of directing the Crimson Mas- que plays. Lady Precious Stream, produced under her direction, was a campus hit, and the freshman play, The Romantic Age promises to come up to the usual high standard of Mascjue production. Dr. Sydney Ross, whose parents live in Glasgow, Scotland, imitates his eminent coun- tryman in carrying an umbrella, and his morn- ing coat and Eaton collar create quite a stir in the Chem. lab. He left Scotland at the age of 18. and re- ceived his B. Sc. at McGill University in 1936. He received his Ph. D. from the Ll niversity of Illinois this year and came to Monmouth in February when Prof. Haldeman was forced to leave on account of his health.

In 1939 eight students — all historv majors — with Prof. Turner as advisor, formed the local chapter of the fraternity. This year Monmouth Z. K. E. secured the right to be called the Beta Chapter. Park College of Parkville, Missouri contains the Alpha ciiapter. The purpose of Zeta Kappa Epsilon is to stimulate interest and research in hostory. Monthly meetings this year were held at the Turner home. Discussion on recent historical movies, the reading of papers, book reviews, constituted the programs. Each meeting was ended in a slight social whirl which added to the fraternal feeling of the group. Besides raising the membership to twentv- four this year, Z. K. E. sponsored a historical movie, and a trip to New Salem and the Springfield Lincoln grounds for its members. The memorable activity this spring was the Barb-I. O. Bancjuet patterned after the Gridiron banquets of Washington, D. C. The ten guests were the subjects of numerous cjuips and take-offs in the form of a skit. The organization has earned an important place among college activities. Prof. Turner has been the chief inspiration, but the fratern- ity must press on next year without his guid- ance.

At first he llumght it was a headache and took an a ' pirin. Later he discovered it was an idea. One little idea whirling around in the col- lege professor ' s brain! Then the professor said to himself, This idea is good. So he took his pencil and scril)- bled it down on a scrap of paper. Then, lo and behold, there were two ideas ! One in his mind and one on the paper. The professor said to himself again, This idea is worth sharing. I will teach it to my students. And so he sat down at his typewriter and typed the idea on a stencil. Then he fed twenty-eight sheets of papers into ,the mimio- graph, and with each reA olution of the roller, a new idea was born. Now there were twenty-eight idea ' , alike as quintuplets, printed in black ink on crisp white sheets of paper. One drowsy afternoon, the professor dis- tributed the twenty-eight copies of the ' dea to twenty-eight students and announced a test for the following Thursday. The twenty-eight students snapped the twenty-eight ideas into their notebooks and went home to their fraternity houses, boarding clubs, and dormitories. There, by the light of burning midnight oil, twenty-eight more ideas were born. Twenty-eight sickly, dis- torted, lame, blind ideas in the minds of those twenty-eight students, yet each bearing rn vm- mistakable family resemblance to the ancestral idea. And then came the day of the test. The twenty-eight students closed their notebooks, and the twenty-eight gasping mimeographed ideas died of suffocation between those leather covers for the notebooks were never opened again. And the twenty-eight students came to the classroom with their minds crammed w ' ith their twenty-eight ideas and sat down to put those ideas on blank sheets of paper. When they trooped away, the sheets of paper were cram- med with the twenty-eight ideas; it was their minds that were blank. They had parked their ideas, like their gum, and had gone away with- out them. Twenty-eight ideas on twenty-eight ex- amination papers ! But they were not living ideas. They were the corpses of ideas, em- I)almed in fountain pen ink. The professor collected the twenty-eight sheets of paper and the twenty-eight distorted ideas ; red penciled them and recorded the grades, in his little brown book. Then the twenty-eight students came back, as to the morgue, to identify and to claim the corpses of their twenty-eight ideas. And as they left, some dropped their papers and their ideas in the wastebasket ; some took them home and threw them in the fire. And so the last generation of ideas per- ished, like martyrs; perished by sufifocation, murder, fire, and neglect. They all died but one. One little idea whirling around in a col- lege professor ' s brain ! . nd this time, he swallowed two aspirins. Monmouth Dairy Products Co.

I am the Resurrection and the Life: ' Page One Hundred Fifty-] R A VE L I N CS = - 19 4 1 RETROSPECT As the last page of the 1941 Raveungs rolls from the press, we feel a tinge of remorse mingled with the pleasure of a job completed. It has been a lot of work, but it has been a lot more fun and we are experiencing that same feeling of nostalgia so well known to Seniors at Commencement time. And so, with thanks to loyal staff, a pat on the back to Swanie. our Business Manager, well done to the engravers, printers, cover-makers, and photographers, we offer you our attempt to record the tangible, and suggest the intangible of one year at MONMOUTH.
