Whatever is excellent, as God lives, is permanent ’’ lEtmnautUf GloUpgp EVANSVILLE, our Alma Mater, Valiant through the years; Always loyal to thy precepts, Ne’er daunted by thy tears; Stru ggling onward through the Dark, hast Vanquished all thy fears. In the east a light is breaking, Lo, a faint—a brighter glow; Lord, indeed, a Prayer is answered, E’en a Prayer of Long Ago. COLLEGE, by our fathers honored, Our lives too, must honor Thee; Link our souls with mem’ries treasured, Link our hearts in loyalty; E’en our lives in service give, Glad if we can only live Ever true to Thee. —N. G. The LinC” Published By The STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION OF EVANSVILLE COLLEGE J 9 2 4 “Greatly begin! Though thou have time For but one line, make that sublime; Not failure, but low aim, is crime.” EOjRE WOf?£ . To bring back memories of the bright spots of our four year course, to link the classes in a spirit of companionship and good fellowship, to be instrumental in recalling friends made during our four years of toil, and to pre¬ sent to our individual circle of friends a glimpse of our intimate “Life in College”, are the aims of The Editors in forging this, the second LinC of the great chain. 9 ' 0 M OED CA T O V. To Andrew Johnson Bigney In Science Faithful and Eminent “In Friendship Noble and Sincere” DR. A. J. BIGNEY ©ur ffinUege What magic—mystical, profound, Lies hidden in its walls, That it can speak without a sound Yet clear as clarion calls. “Sermons in stones” we know of old But—we must read them there. These stones a harmony unfold That permeates the air. It matters not, in joy or gloom, With quick or lagging feet Whene’er you come, in summer’s bloom, Or through the snow and sleet, You feel its subtle sympathy, The magic of its spell, And be the skies bright blue or gray, Somehow, the world is well. What is it, beauty of design? No, deeper far its knoll; No architect’s sublimest line Could e’er design a soul. The secret is (would all men knew) The manner of its birth. From visions, dreams, ideals it grew, And not from stones and earth. Its hearthstone, it was kindled then At the Promethean fire, And daily, through the deeds of men The flames leap high and higher. Small wonder then, that piercing sweet, It calls to him who hears Above the clamour of the street, The music of the spheres. —L.

Don’t compare her for a moment to Shakespeare’s Mariana, for she has nothing in common with that gloomy lady except that she is beautiful and good. She has big blue eyes and a curly bobbed head literally crammed full of bright ideas. She is popular alike with faculty and students, for she has the happy quality of getting along with people, and of always responding willingly to any demand that is made upon her in the name of E. C., whether it be scholastic or social. Our Marianna is the kind of girl who is both useful and ornamental, and we are glad she decided to leave Oxford at the end of her freshman year and spend the rest of the time with us. 33 ELOISE BROONER French History Organizations Editor LinC, ’24; Secretary Sigourneans, ’21; Treasurer Sigs, ’22. When E. C. gains the privilege of con¬ ferring Phi Beta Kappa upon its graduates, Eloise will without doubt be one of the first to win her key, for she is the real stu¬ dent of the class of ’24. She studies be¬ cause she loves to study, and her scholastic record is one long succession of A’s. Her proficiency in her Major, French, is the de¬ light of Miss Raymond and an unfailing source of wonder to her classmates. Eloise is not, however, that dreary, drab type of individual proverbially known as the grind; on the contrary, she is keen, alert, interested in everything, and despite her inordinate love of books, she is a most interesting per¬ son to know. She has aspirations toward a Ph. D. from the University of Paris, and here’s our prediction that she’ll live to real¬ ize her ambition.—(Later)—She was suc¬ cessful in winning the scholarship to France. 34 FORREST CULBERTSON History Spanish Secretary and Treasurer Spanish Club, ’23-’24; Agassiz Club; Business Administra¬ tion Club; Geology Club. Forrest is the senior who is distinguished by that fetching little moustache. He is one of the decided brunettes (if there is a mas¬ culine of the word) of the class, having nice, shiny black hair and dark brown eyes. He is rather an unobtrusive person, and be¬ cause of this fact many people are not aware of his talents. Forrest takes much interest in Geology, and is also one of our bright and shining literary lights. Because of his ability to write cleverly, he was early in the year chosen class historian. His work on the LinC Staff has been well nigh invaluable. 35 NELLIE GOLDSMITH English Princeton High School; attended summer sessions at Earlham College, Valparaiso University, and Indiana University; Cres¬ cent Staff; Y. W. C. A.; Chorus. Behold the modem woman! Although she has encroached somewhat on man’s sphere, still she has preserved all her womanly qualities. She studies rocks and drives a Ford, but is not a bit hard-boiled. She likes to wrestle both mentally and physically, and has been victorious both over her studies and King Henr y I, her metallic steed. Lit¬ erature is one of Miss Goldsmith’s favorite studies, and the way that she attacks it makes us think she must be one of Oliver’s descendants. She has been in the class but one year, but her splendid cooperation has made her very much one of us. So far she has maintained her neutrality in regard to Modernism versus Fundamentalism, but she is rig ' ht there with a helping hand “when a feller needs a friend.” In short, her ini¬ tials, N. G., make an appropriate label for her personality, because N. G., in this case, stands for just a real Nice Gild. 36 H. C. JOHNSON Engineering 1 Vice-President Engineers’ Club; Assistant Teacher in Engineering Department. This young man holds the distinction of being the first graduate of the engineering department of E. C. He hails from Mar¬ ion, Indiana, where he taught in high school for a number of years. Prior to that time he was with the overseas troops of the Uni¬ ted States army, being the only member of the class of ’24 who wore the uniform during the World War. He was with the Second Regiment of Motor Mechanics, acting in the role of sergeant in charge of transportation. Though he has been with the class but one year, he has won recognition of an envia¬ ble character, and E. C. is glad to number him among her graduates. 37 GILBERT LAUBSCHER Business Administration History President Senior Class; President Philos, ’23-’24; Business Manager LinC, ’24; Presi¬ dent Business Administration Club, ’23. “Gil” learned almost all the alphabet in the grades, but he had to come to college to master “Z”. So energetically has he de¬ voted himself to this task, however, that it seems the work is now almost completed, and it is time to grant him a diploma. Yet “Gil” has not been too busy to prove his executive ability by piloting the senior class safely through the troubled waters of the scholastic year, or to win for himself laurels in the field of his choice, Business Admin¬ istration. Courteous, open-minded, and de¬ termined, “Gil” has won the respect and esteem of all who know him, and we pre¬ dict a brilliant future for him in his chosen realm, the business world. 38 BESSIE LEWIS Zoology French Secretary and Prosecuting Attorney, Sig- ourneans; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet; Vice-Presi¬ dent Sweetser Hall. “Our Bessie”, like various other distin¬ guished Ameidcans—such as “Prexy” Hughes, President Harding, and Dean Franklin—is a native of Ohio, and had her first year of college work in Miami Univer¬ sity. She has held her share of offices since she has been in E. C., and has won the friendship and esteem of all her class¬ mates. “She is a woman, therefore to be won”, and the other students have more than a vague suspicion that the winning has already been done by a certain other senior from her own state. She doesn’t mind digging - —in fact, a “rocky” course such as geology is her chief delight—-and some of the information she unearths is a source of wonder to her cla smates. 39 LAWSON MARCY Chemistry Treasurer Senior Class; Vice-President Philos; Prosecuting Attorney, Treasurer, and Critic, Philos; Assistant Treasurer Ath¬ letic Board; Vice-President Engineers’ Club. “A brave and true and downright honest man”-—at least such must be his reputation, since he is entrusted with the riches of the Senior Class besides holding the purse¬ strings of the Athletic Board. In the autumn of 1920, Lawson came to E. C. as a promising young engineering student from Delaware, Ohio, and soon be¬ came generally known as “Prexy’s nephew”. At the beginning of his junior year he transferred his work to the Liberal Arts course. He has assisted Dr. Strickler in the Chemistry department, has played basket¬ ball, and has been a prominent Philo throughout his college career. And first, last, and all the time, “He was more than over shoes in love” with a certain tall and dark-haired classmate. 40 MYRTLE McKOWN His tory English President Y. W. C. A., ’ 22 -’ 23 ; Vice-Presi¬ dent Y. W., ’ 21 -’ 22 ; Undergraduate Repre¬ sentative Y. W. C. A., ’23-’24; Secretary and Treasurer Student Volunteer Band, ’23-’24; Treasurer, Critic, and Chaplain Sigour- neans. Miss McKown, known to her admiring classmates as Myrtle, has the coveted fac¬ ulty of making good grades without being called a book-worm. As a result of her long and consistent work in the library, she is capable of giving the source of information immediately upon any subject from Greek mythology to Barney Google. Being more or less hampered in student activities on account of doing a prodigious amount of outside work, she has nevertheless found time to take much interest in Y. W. work, having served one year as representative at the Lake Geneva conference. She has also been prominent in the Sigournean Literary Society. Myrtle is an all-around “good scout”, and we predict she will make a howl¬ ing success as a teacher of History and English. 41 HARRIETTE MURPHY English History- President. Sweetser Hall, ’23-’24; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, ’23-’24, ’22-’23; Treasurer Sigourneans, ’22; Vice-President Sweetser, ’22; Crescent Staff, ’21. Harriette is a firm believer in the adage “If speech is silver, silence is golden”, and she therefore seldom wastes words. Yet, when she does open her lips, what words of wisdom issue therefrom! For her seeming taciturnity but conceals a wealth of infor¬ mation which she can bring to light at pleas¬ ure, and she has no trouble convincing the profs that she knows much more than she cares to tell. She also possesses executive ability of a high order, and has often dem¬ onstrated it during her career as President of Sweetser Hall. She longs to be an Eng¬ lish teacher, and she’ll doubtless realize her ambition. “Harry” has been a prominent member of the class of ’24 since its fresh¬ man days, and will be long remembered in E. C. 42 ADA NELSON Bible Philosophy President Student Volunteers, ’ 22 -’ 23 ; Vice-President Y. W. C. A., ’ 23 ; Vice-Presi¬ dent Sigourneans, ’23; Chaplain Sigour- neans, ’22. This rare and radiant maiden is noted for the frank friendliness of her smile and for an earnest sincerity of purpose which have combined to make her quite a popular and valuable member of the class of ’24. She aspires toward a Master’s from Northwest¬ ern before she takes up her life work— that of a foreign missionary—we know not whether to Greenland’s icy mountains or In¬ dia’s coral strand. We can’t imagine her teaching the heathen, and persuading them to forsake the error of their ways, but as she usually succeeds in whatever she un¬ dertakes, she will doubtless make good. Here’s luck to her! 43 MARGUERITE ROBERTS English Mathematics Editor-in-Chief LinC; Secretary, President and Critic, Castalians; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet; Crescent Staff; Winner First Paul Charles Anderson Oratorical Contest, ’21; Thespian Club; Song Leader Sweetser Hall; Chorus; Latin Club; Student Decorum Committee, ’24; Undergraduate Representative, ’22; and Student Representative of College Ad¬ vance, ’24. “The many-sided Marguerite”, someone has aptly called her, and no title could be more appropriate, since she has from her freshman days won distinction in almost every phase of college life. In addition to her frank, good-humored smile, her sincerity and steadiness, her brilliant intellect and capacity for hard work, she possesses quali¬ ties of leadership that have combined with her other characteristics to create for her a place in E. C. that very few of the “others following after” can ever hope to rival. In the field of oratory and debate, in that of music, in Y. W. work and literature she has alike won laurels, and when it came time to pick an Editor-in-Chief for the LinC, she was the logical choice of the Student Gov¬ ernment Association. 44 SALIBELLE ROYSTER English French President Women’s Council; Literary Edi¬ tor LinC; Geology Club; Y. W. C. A.; Chorus; Student Representative College Ad¬ vance; Kentucky Club. It is said by one of her best friends that this senior can quote Shakespeare appro¬ priately on any and every occasion, and no one who knows her well doubts the truth of this statement. Whatever she undertakes is accomplished in a highly creditable manner. She hails from “across the rivah”, but now claims Evansville as her home. She entered E. C. as a regular student at the be¬ ginning of her senior year, having done the other three years in the University of Chi¬ cago and E. C. community classes. Her charming personality, however, soon made her welcome in all circles, and when the time came to choose the “ideal girl” to be¬ come the first president of the Women’s Council, the lot fell on her. The senior class is proud to have among its members the black-haired, friendly Salibelle Royster, who makes friends as well as straight A’s wher¬ ever she goes. 45 ALBERT SCHMITT Bible Track, ’21; Basketball, ’22; Treasurer Photos, ’22; Secretary Photos, ’22; Secre¬ tary Oxford Club, ’22-’23; President Y. M. C. A., ’23-’24; President Hospital Board, ’23- ’24; Vice-President Oxford Club, ’23-’24; Football, ’23; President Photos, ’24. “Schmitty” is never so happy as when he is carolling- hymns in chapel at the top of his voice, for he is a serious-minded youth, with aspirations toward the ministry. Not that he wears a “lean and hungry look”— oh, no!—for he is round and jolly and ob¬ viously well-fed. His classmates have never seen him seriously disconcerted about any¬ thing, for he habitually meets the world with a good-natured grin that has won him scores of friends in E. C. “Give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you,” is “Schmitty’s” practice in daily life, and the class of ’24 will doubt¬ less have even more cause to be proud of him in the future than it has already had in the past. 46 HENRY SIMPSON History Zoology President Student Government Associa¬ tion, ’23-’24; Vice-President S. G. A., ’22-’23; Student Decorum Committee, ’21-’22; Win¬ ner of Anderson Oratorical Contest, ’22; Class President, ’21-’22, ’22-’23; Vice-Presi¬ dent, President, Secretary and Treasurer Photos; Vice-President Y. M. C. A.; Vice- President Kentucky Club; LinC Staff; Stu¬ dent Representative College Advance; Rep¬ resentative of the College in State Orator¬ ical Contest. Orator, statesman, politician, good fellow —our Henry belongs to a diversified and un¬ usual classification. He has been one of the outstanding members of the senior class, and his classmates have shown their appreciation and recognition of his abilities by conferring on him a variety of offices. He has twice been president of the class of ’24; this office may rightfully be placed in the category of his “accomplishments”, be¬ cause it illustrates effectively the consistent regard with which he has been viewed. Cou¬ pled with this distinction is another which includes the sentiment of the entire college —that of the presidency of the Student Gov¬ ernment Association. Henry will long be remembered not only for the service he has rendered the college, but also for the sin¬ cerity of character that has endeared him to the students in general—and to one of the fair sex in particular. 47 DOROTHY SNETHEN Chemistry Latin President Y. W. C. A., ’23-’24; Secretary Senior Cl ass; Secretary Women’s Council; Chairman Student Decorum Committee; President Sigourneans, two terms; Secre¬ tary Freshman Class, ’20; Delegate to Hot Springs and Lake Geneva Conferences. Since her entrance as a freshman, Dor¬ othy has taken an important part in the ac¬ tivities of E. C., and the students have fre¬ quently shown their confidence in her ability by bestowing some of the highest offices in college upon her. The wonders of the chemical world that have not already been brought to light had better hide during the next decade, for Dorothy is going to un¬ earth them if the thing can be done. The course of true love never did run smooth, but that of Dorothy and a certain dark¬ haired engineer would seem an exception, were it not for the roughness of the road to New Harmony. “Dot” has won many an “A” as well as the confidence and esteem of her college friends, and it is safe to say that she will succeed as well in life as she has in E. C. 48 DORIS SWIFT History English Boyne City, Michigan, High School; Sec¬ retary Sigoumeans, ’21, ’22, ’23; Basketball Team, ’21 and ’22; Vice-President Intra¬ mural Athletic Board, ’23; Girls ' Athletic Manager, ’23 and ’24; President of Sigour- neans, ’24. Doris’s voice is ever soft, gentle, and low, and she is at once one of the most unob¬ trusive and most likable girls in college. She is none the less a capable and enthus¬ iastic supporter of E. C., and is interested in everything pertaining to the welfare of her Alma Mater. She hails from Michigan, but will not return there at the end of her college career if a certain young man of our acquaintance has anything to do with the matter. One can hardly picture Doris as a hard-hearted History teacher, but such is her ambition—for next year. 49 ARTHUR A. YOUNG Economics English “East is East and West is West”, but the two seem to have met and blended together admirably in the person of Mr. Young, who came to us at the beginning of the Winter Quarter from Northwestern University. De¬ spite the fact that he is very quiet, and has not tried to make his name resound through¬ out the halls of Evansville College, we are glad to whisper that he has already made somewhat of a mark in the world. Along with his work as a student, he has found time to contribute to some of the leading magazines and newspapers of the day. His real home is in the British West Indies, and he has already studied in several foreign countries. We admire Mr. Young, and sin¬ cerely wish him success in life. 50 MAURINE YOUNGBLOOD English Latin President Latin Club; Writers’ Club; Crescent Staff. Maurine is not “home grown”, but be¬ longs to that peculiar species known as “Boonville-ites”, who grow abundantly in the vicinity of E. C., and blossom freely— into prominence. She never says a word—ye Gods, no— but one hundred million, sixteen thousand, “23”; the last two digits are for the fellow who has the other side of the argument. She put the “tin” in Latin, and has been rat¬ tling it ever since, an accomplishment that led her to the Presidency—of the Latin Club. She can revive the dead when it comes to this. The following quotation is taken from her Philosophy of Life: “I care not for riches—although by the ton, And neither for prospects, as bright as the sun; My own destiny I’ll settle for me— And from all of Earth’s treasures choose— Nunn.” 51 (Elasa history This is a story of the college days of the class of ’24. It can scarcely be called a history. It is but a brief introduction to a larger history which is to come. For the class of ’24 will be making history for the next fifty years. As it was the second freshman class to be enrolled in Evansville College and is but the fourth class to graduate it counts itself among the pioneers of the institution. One- half of its ' college life was spent in the old down-town quarters. These were years of many discomforts and inconveniences but they also had their pleasant side. There was a peculiar fascination about the old brick building with the words “United Hebrew In¬ stitute” above its entrance and with its dark, narrow halls and stairways that will al¬ ways live in our memories. There was a certain romance in studying biology in Lock- year’s basement and history or economics in the Y. M. C. A. that is not found in the class rooms of the more palatial Administration Hall. There was convenience also in loafing about the “Y”, fraternizing with business college or high school students or in stepping up on Main or Fifth street to a movie between classes. Although we consider ourselves about the greatest little collection of humanity ever loosed upon an indifferent world by an alma mater, our history as a class has not been essentially different from that of any other class. We have been green freshmen (ac¬ tually), bright sophomores, diligent juniors, and erudite seniors respectively. As fresh¬ men we had oral English, English composition, and sociology thrust upon us and were advised by President Hughes to “dig right into it.” Soon we beard “Prexy’s” sermon to new students for the first time and eagerly snatched at each flashing word, not realiz¬ ing that it was to be our privilege to hear that sermon eleven times more (once per quarter) before graduation. At our first election we chose Helen Arnold of Evansville, presi¬ dent. Like Queen Elizabeth she was a diplomat and had the class wearing green caps before the subject was even mentioned by the sophomores. We set a precedent for freshman classes by taking an oath of allegiance to the college and being formally inducted into the student government association. We won the class scrap from the sophomores and were royally banqueted by the college. In our sophomore year we elected William Carleton, a noted young orator of Evansville, president. Ill health compelled him to with¬ draw from school during the winter quarter and he was succeeded by the vice-president, Henry Simpson. Simpson hailed from Sturgis, Kentucky, and had already attracted quite a bit of attention with his fiery tongue. On coming into power he proved himself a Roosevelt, and from that time has occupied a central place in the class history. The “frosh” were so restless that year that we resorted to “salt¬ ing” to keep them quiet. This was a method formerly in vogue at Moores Hill. “Salting the Frosh” is now an annual event in Evans¬ ville College although some classes show a tendency to interpret it as “assaulting the frosh”. Nevertheless, we lost the class scrap to the “rheinies” and were forced to tolerate them the rest of the year. When the junior year dawned our number had decreased by more than one-half. Due to the withdrawal of graduates of the two-years’ teacher-training course there was scarcely a score of us left. But in spite of this handicap it was a great year for the class. Simpson was again at the helm and the class backed him to a man. An absence HELEN ARNOLD 52 (Ela00 iitatnrg— at a class meeting was a rare exception. We often held our meetings in the lower cor¬ ridor since there were too few of us to create any great disturbance. When it came time for us to entertain “the twenty-three of twenty-three” we had to dig deep in our pockets but the affair was put across in big-time style. White flannels and dinner gowns were gala attire for the evening. The seniors made such an impressive appearance and were so fittingly eulogized by Dr. Franklin in a poetic toast that we were inspired to carry on “in the footsteps of our illustrious predecessors.” In a few days commencement fes¬ tivities were on. We acted as ushers and general flunkies around the building on that occasion and when it was over awoke to the realization that we were seniors ourselves. Our ranks had thinned again and it seemed as if we were going to have to face the battles of seniordom with only about a dozen of the old gang left. When school opened in the fall we met with rare good fortune. Five young people, all talented and intel¬ lectual, joined our little company. Simpson refused to consider a third term. Gil¬ bert Laubscher, a dark horse who had rapidly been coming to the front for the past year, was elected president. As seniors, one of the first things we did was to get some distinctive clothes. The girls chose scarlet jackets with gray belts and scarlet and gray (class colors) swagger sticks. The men dressed up in gray and brown checked vests and brown corduroy pants and carried canes. In proportion to its numbers the senior class was well blessed with beauty, brains, and brawn. Marianna Andres was proclaimed the prettiest girl in Evansville College by vote of the student body. Simpson, now president of the Student Government Asso¬ ciation, represented the school in the state oratorical contest. Marguerite Roberts was made editor-in-chief of the LinC. Albert Schmitt (Schmitty), now president of the college Y. M. C. A., was the gridiron star of the class. Work on the LinC was the big thing for the first part of the year. Seniors were hounded daily for copy and pictures until on February 15 the fatal deadline came. The events of the last quarter—that mad whirl of work and pleasure,—culminating in commencement on June 17, would fill columns. Yet every event—every picnic, every banquet, every party, every game, every recitation and every flirtation—has its peculiar place in the minds of every senior. The writer has not access to all these eighteen store¬ houses of memories and if he did their effect upon the future lives of those concerned could not be ascertained. For that reason the history of the class of ’24 is still un¬ written. _ —FORREST CULBERTSON. 53 54 JUNIORS 0 Maybelle Alexander English Education Circulation Manager Crescent, ’23-’24. “For ’tis the mind that makes the body rich.” Louis Bateman Chemistry Mathematics Philo; Track, ’21-’23; Baseball, ’21-’23. “Genteel in personage, Conduct, and equipage; Noble by heritage, Generous and free.” Helen Bertelsen English French Secretary Sigourneans, ’23; Treasurer Y.

From the beginning it was the custom to use the Chapel hour on Friday morning for the purpose of conducting the business of the Student Government Association. Before the Induction Service in which the freshmen were admitted full fledged members of the Association, they were required to pass an ex¬ amination on the constitution and by-laws, which are found in the Student Hand Book. The class scrap in the afternoon following the Induction Ser¬ vice and the banquet in the evening given in honor of the freshmen, were conducted under the auspices of the Executive Board. Instead of the junior class taking charge of the publication of the 1924 LinC, the student body was given the authority to edit it. Also, the school paper, “The Crescent”, was placed on a permanent basis by the Stu¬ dent Government Association. The student body has a great deal of power in regulating its own af¬ fairs, especially in regard to the conduct of students. The Honor Court, which is composed of the four officers of the Association and the presidents of the Athletic and Hospital Boards, tries all cases of violation of the honor system. Evansville College is one of the few colleges of America which gives so much power to its students. 73 74 RESCENT” STAFF AND REPORTERS (Errsmtt The Crescent might well be called the pep organ of Evansville College. It sees and knows all. Without it, life for an E. C. student would be in¬ complete, for the Crescent is the mirror which reflects each passing event, the recorder whose eyes overlook nothing. Be it sports or humor, business or pleasure—it’s in the Crescent. The Crescent is not only popular among the students of the college, but also among the citizens of Evansville. It has the support of the busi¬ ness men thru their advertising. From time to time, editorials and fea¬ ture stories written by Crescent reporters and published in the Crescent have been reprinted in local newspapers and periodicals. Evansville Col¬ lege may be justly proud of the Crescent for it radiates the true spirit of the college. _Sidney Spector _Norman Critser ..Maybelle Alexander Maurine Youngblood _Russell Gudgeon _Florence Weber _Madeline Haas _Gertrude Reller _Helen Schnute _Lane Osborn __Ruth Miller _George Wright Editor ___ Business Manager ...

Its purpose is to promote the social, intellectual, and moral in¬ terests of the women students of E. C. Every woman who is taking twelve hours or more of work automatically becomes a member upon enrollment. This organization marks another step toward Evansville’s admission into the American Association of Universities and Colleges. The Women’s Council of E. C. may then become a member of the American Association of University Women, the national organization of college women. 77 Hary Cjiesvrtr.

Through the five long years. Day after day they labor, In shop, at home and in school. “Practice proves theory” their motto And this they use as a tool. Two weeks they toil in factory, Amidst dirt and smoke and uproar; Then back to research and text books, To the pages they left before. Into the depths of science, On toward the end of math, Working their way thru college Is—by no means—an easy path. But lo, there comes to the worthy, Whose victory at last is won, Contentment and joy and pleasure, In seeing their work well done. They are broad and open and cultured And life to them is worth while, For they live in the neaf’e fihey have mastered, And they view the wcrld with a smile. MEMBERS Compton Capel, Wm. B.

Coach John Harmon took an absolutely green squad and developed it into a first- class grid aggregation which went thru the seven-game schedule in grand style. Out of the seven games, the Purple warriors emerged with three scalps. They were in turn trounced on three occasions, the extra game slipping into the tie column. The red letter day in E. C.’s sport annals turned up on October 19. On this occasion the Purple went into combat with the Union Christian College eleven of Merom, Indiana. It was the first college grid game ever played in Evansville and the first grid game ever played by an Evansville College team. A month’s careful drill under Coach Harmon ' s guiding eye turned the beaming smile of “Lady Luck” upon the Purple warriors however, and they emerged the victors by a 19 to 0 score. The result was jotted down in red ink on the pages of Evansville history books. Evansville newspapers sang forth great praise for the little E. C. eleven which had gone forth like the shep¬ herd boy, David, and conquered the giant, Goliath, in the form of the heavier and experienced Merom squad. In the pages of Evansville College’s histories were jotted the names of those eleven warriors who trotted out upon the field for the first time in the Purple and White of old E. C. Stuteville and Dunville were at end. Hoyt and Roth held down the tackle positions,-Marynell and Schmitt filled in at guard, with Fletcher at center. In the backfield, Captain Bakewell called signals. Small was at full¬ back with Fisher and Taylor at the halves. Gudgeon, Gill and Coffman also broke into this game before the finish. Captain Bakewell led his men to victory in the battle. The “skipper” drew an unlimited amount of applause with his gallant end runs which COACH HARMON 112 chopped yard after yard off between the Purple and victory. Fisher and Dunville were other stars of this game. Oakland City was the second opponent of Evansville’s and for a second time, E. C. registered a victory. The great Oak fell, 18 to 0. Two men were injured in this contest. Captain Bakewell received a sprained ankle and Small was injured about the hips. With these two stars out of the game in the early moments, things looked dark for Evans¬ ville, but the famous fighting spirit carried the squad on thru to victory. November third marked the first defeat for Evansville. Bethel Col¬ lege came up out of Kentucky and turned back the Purple on a water soaked and sloppy grid, 18 to 0. The mud was a big handicap for Evansville. It was the first time many of the players ever participated in a game played in the drizzling rain. Captain Bakewell was injured again in the Bethel game. Small, Gill and Gudgeon were also unable to participate because of hurts. Fisher, however, carried on for Evansville and Harrington and Hitch, two new men, flashed form in the backfield. Capt. Bakewell Hoyt Coffman 113 The next week Evansville made up for lost time. State Normal of Terre Haute came down and returned home on the small side of a 27 to 2 score. It was Evansville’s biggest victory of the season. A blank would have been registered for Normal, had not a “fluke” touchback given them two points. Hoyt was injured during the Normal contest and was put out of the game for several minutes. This marred his record for not having missed a single minute’s time during the entire season. Dunville, Ruminer and Coff¬ man were placed on the hospital list after this battle. The victory was the most brilliant of the season. The Purple line held like the proverbial wall and the backfield was protected at all time. Stute- ville starred in this game with his snagging of forward passes. “Slim” on one occasion intercepted a Normal pass and ran 95 yards for a touch¬ down. Ruminer Schmitt Stuteville 124 Evansville received a heart-breaking defeat on November 17. Cen¬ tral Normal of Danville, Indiana, downed the Purple by a 7-6 point margin. Evansville played its worst game of the year during this encounter. The line failed to hold and poor work was shown in the backfield. The lineup however, was greatly changed due to injured players. Dunville, star end, did not participate in this game on account of a broken wrist. The worst walloping of the season was handed Evansville by Tennessee Normal. A 51 to 12 score was piled up against the Purple by a much su¬ perior machine. Thanksgiving Day was the last scheduled game of the season. The Purple went upon its only road trip of the year, invading Vincennes, where it was held to a 0 to 0 tie. The day was even worse than on the Bethel contest. A shoetop deep mud held and a drizzly day marked the occasion. Reinke Small Roth 115 Altho the mud and water handicapped both teams, Evansville was ready for the conditions this time. Stocking-less, the men went into the fray but failed to push over a victory. Both teams fought hard but the odds were against them. For the closing chapter, Dunville, Hoyt, Dudley, Schmitt, Ruminer, Roth and Stuteville made up the line. The lineup was much different than from the first eleven which had gone out for E. C. Several had dropped out and a few new men had come into the Purple camp since the first game of the season. Taylor at quarter, Bakewell and Fisher at halves, with Coffman at fullback, was the backfield for the Vincennes game. Gudgeon, Small and Hitch were entered before the game ended. The line, however, held su¬ perbly and not a single man was taken out. 116 The Vincennes contest marked the dawning of a new era in Evansville College. Green men who had gone out at the first of the season fought in this game like tigers and gained their “grid legs” at last. Coffman played a whale of a game at fullback and in backing up the line. Dudley, Ruminer and Schmitt put up a great defense in the line. The ends failed to accomplish much due to weather conditions and had to fall back on the defensive. Seventeen men stuck throughout the season, fifteen of whom were awarded letters. Captain Bakewell, Captain-elect Hoyt, Fisher, Coffman, Gudgeon, Small, Taylor, Dunville, Stuteville, Roth, Dudley, Schmitt, Fletch¬ er, Ruminer and Hitch received the coveted “E”. Gill and Reinke deserve much credit for going through the entire season, although neither par¬ ticipated in enough games to earn a letter. 117 The conditions under which the squad worked were trying and the men deserve much credit for their gallant work. Night practice was held for several weeks during the season to give the working engineers a chance to drill with the squad. Injuries and a small squad also held back work considerably. Evansville more than broke even on scoring during the season. The Purple piled up 82 points in the seven games to opponent’s 79. All victories were rightfully earned and all losses were lost. No one has any alibis to offer. Conditions were what they were and the coach and players made the best of them. Fight, spirit and teamwork all mixed together with a little football knowledge helped make up a grid squad that old Evansville is proud of and may her sons and daughters fol¬ lowing after cherish their work! 118 3ntpr-QIla00 JffnntbaU It was a great day when the cocky freshmen went out upon the grid to take a crack at the gallant sopho mores for the football championship of the two classes. When the fireworks were over, however, the freshmen were not so cocky and the sophomores gleefully romped about, for the game was theirs, 13 to 6. The game occurred after the sea¬ son was over. Ex-varsity men were eligible to participate and several graced the lineups of both teams and proved to be the mainstays of their squads. For the freshmen, Ruminer, Gudg¬ eon, Coffman, Dudley and Fisher were the varsity men who played. Taylor, Reinke, Small, Dunville and Gill played for the sophomores. Small, Dunville, Taylor and Dick were the stars of the sophomore side and Fisher, Coffman, Gudgeon and Melton flashed form for the frosh. COACH HARMON 119 “AT PRACTICE” 120 WaakrttmU Evansville College’s basketball sea¬ son was not the success the grid year was. Although Coach Harmon had two letter men to work with on the squad, the rest of the team had to be built up from green material. Many difficulties arose during the season and Coach Harmon was forced to shift his lineup on three different occasions. The first five at the start of the season were changed when Das- sell, a forward, quit the squad. Later, Captain Stuteville was sus¬ pended from the team and again the team had to be rebuilt from the ground up. At the last moment with the “skipper” back in, McClintock, STUTEVILLE fighting forward, was declared ineli¬ gible, necessitating another change in the lineup. During the season’s play the Pur pie warriors met opponents in 14 bat¬ tles. Only five of them were marked down as victories for E. C. One big feat was accomplished by Coach Harmon’s crew, however, which will go down in history. The terrible Oakland City jinx was broken when the Purple handed the Oaks a 27 to 19 beating on the College floor as part of the Founder’s Day celebra¬ tion in the closing game of the season. Coach Harmon’s athletes started the Oaks on the downward path last fall when the football team registered WYTTENBACH 121 a win over the Oakland City eleven. The final blow came on the Evansville floor. Evansville College opened the sea¬ son on January 4, playing Hanover College. The Hansmen were much su¬ perior, but the Purple fought to the finish and held the invaders to a 27 to 17 score. Dassel, Huffer, Stute- ville, Wyttenbach and Baker were the starting lineup for E. C. The Purple turned the tables in the next two encounters on the home floor, however, defeating the Univer¬ sity of Louisville, 38 to 29 and Vin¬ cennes University, 28 to 19 in suc¬ cession. It was after the Vincennes game that Captain Stuteville was sus¬ pended from the squad. The team then hit a slump which lasted through four road games. Oakland City took the Purple scalp in the first game of the “dissension” period, 27 to 16. Vin¬ cennes, which had been defeated by E. C. just a week before, handed the Purple a 52 to 22 walloping, the worst defeat suffered by Evansville in the season. The next week found Evansville at Louisville to play the Kentuckians a return battle. Louisville turned the tables on E. C. as had Vincennes, win¬ ning a hard fought tilt, 33 to 18. The game was won in the last few minutes of play when Small and Wyttenbach 122 ' W were put out on personal fouls. Han¬ over was made the next night and Evansville was again defeated, 48 to 15. Back on the home floor and with Captain Stuteville back in the lineup, the Purple again hit its stride, taking Bethel and Indiana Central into camp. Revenge was made on Bethel with a 35 to 20 count and the Indianapolis team received a 48 to 28 drubbing. Another losing stretch of four games was encountered. Central Normal came here and Evansville made a miserable showing, losing 45 to 16. The next week the Purple took a two-game road trip, losing to Cen¬ tral Normal again, 23 to 16 and being- nosed out by Indiana Central at In¬ dianapolis, 36 to 33. HOYT THE VARSITY AND COACH 123 AFTER THE GAME State Normal was the next opponent for Evansville. The Sycamores presented the best team which appeared against the Purple for the season and won, 33 to 20. A game at Terre Haute had been cancelled the week before with State Normal on account of a death in the Normal faculty. The final game of the season was the gala day for Evansville College. It was upon this occasion that Oakland City was finally downed by a Pur¬ ple cage team. Captain Stuteville played a great game and his work stood out as the individual star of the contest. The entire Purple machine was working to perfection and the Oaks were outclassed from start to finish. The two teams started out in a whirl¬ wind battle that completely exhausted the players in the first ten minutes of play. Evansville had piled up such a lead, however, that even though the Oaks revived themselves quickly, the Purple led on to victory. Coach Harmon will have the entire team left for next season. Captain Stuteville, Hoyt, McClintock, Huffer, Melton, Wyttenbach, Small, Mangrum, Schwenge! and Barry composed the squad which the Purple mentor had at the close of the season. THE “GYM”—IT’S LARGER THAN IT LOOKS 124 COACH POUCHEE Old Daniel Boone walked sullenly up to Father Time and said, “Thar wuz a lady came up here yesterday and she began talkin’ about a Pioneer Bucket Ball team or somethin’. Said it wuz named after us fellers who started things buzzin’ in the west. Could you look up and find out what my namesakes are like?” “With pleasure,” said Father Time, courteously. The big volume entitled “Great Events of the Twentieth Century,” was hauled down and Father Time began leafing the pages. “Here’s an entry about a Pioneer Basketball team if that’s what you mean,” he said finally. “Some queer name, I know,” responded Dan. “Well, let’s hear about them.” And Father Time read: “In the year of our Lord, 1923, the name of ‘Pioneer’ was adopted by the teams of Evansville College, Evansville, Ind., United States of America. The girls’ basketball squad was piloted by Captain Alice Bentzen, and coached by Claire Pouchee. The Pioneer Lucky Thirteen was the name adopted at the beginning of the season, but the number decreased until only ten: Bentzen, Klamer, Kroening, Lytle, Reller, Rold, Miller, Torbet, Sertel, and Zenthoefer were left.” Here Daniel interrupted, “In my day thirteen shore wuzn’t lucky.” Lytle Pouchee Miller dtrla’ Saakrtball 125 Father Time continued: “Several games were played and won off the college floor before any one knew what was happening. Good team work and tight guarding spelled the defeat of Trinity Lutheran, 43 to 14, and the defeat of First Baptist, 35 to 9. The college girls made their debut January 4, on the college floor all dolled up in purple and white; on that evening they played Central M. E., defeating them by a score of 59-6. Accurate goal shooting by Klamer and Kroening and tight guarding again proved the jinx for the visitors.” “Some team, eh?” said Daniel, puffing up. “Hold your horses, son; here’s some more: The Pioneers’ winning streak now ended when the college women came in contact with the Turn¬ ers, January 5. The College defense was broken through and the offensive was guarded so tightly that at the end of the game the score stood 32-17. The lightning work of Jurgens and DeForest proved too much for the Pioneer guards, Yates and Reller.” “Well, drat them, I don’t see what was the matter with ’em,” said Daniel, enraged. “Maybe it was the lack of rooters,” suggested Father Time. “Rooters what—?” but Father Time continued reading: “St. Joseph next attacked the College team January 11, and anticipated a victory. The quick work of the forwards, Klamer and Bentzen, proved too much for them; score of 27-23. 126 “A whale of a game was played the following evening, January 12, against the fast Vincennes university team, when the locals won by a score of 26-22. Reller’s guarding held down the visitors to a great extent, and the good teamwork of the forwards brought another victory home. “A journey was made to Vincennes the following Saturday, January 19, but here the Pioneers—” “They didn’t lose again, did they?” burst out Daniel. “No, only tied, score 26-26. Sidney Spector entered this news and such a handwriting and funny words, too! All I can make out is T-u-n-k’—re¬ ferring.” “Maybe it’s the beginning of punkins,” suggested Dan. “Well, more bad news! The Pioneers met the Central Turners on the home floor, January 31, in a return game and again luck played with the invaders and the college went down in its second defeat, 35-20. Lytle’s guarding and Kroening’s aggressive playing were the features of the game.” “Good girls,” complimented Dan. “The next opponent, Hercules, was met and defeated on the college floor, February 2, by a score of 17-20.” “Hercules, wasn’t he an English general or something’?” interposed Daniel. Rold Sertel Zenthoefer 127 “I don’t know myself. Here’s some more. The game was rough and hard fought. “With fear the Pioneers went to their next game with Lockyear’s Business College on the Y. M. C. A. floor, February 7. The final score stood 19-7; but the entire game was slow and grinding, no stellar work being done by either side. “On February 9, the Olivet team, headed by Captain Nolan, marched into the college gym, donned their togs and the game was on. The college won, 18-16, after a hard fight, but instilled in their hearts was a deep re¬ spect for the sharp shooting of Nolan. Klamer and Bentzen each made three field and one foul goals. The money collected from the immense crowd of rooters enabled the team to visit the show and eat one eskimo pie apiece. “A rough game was played on the local floor, February 16, between St. John’s and E. C. The game was won by the Pioneers, 30-24. Klamer was the high scorer of the evening, with six field goals to her credit. The sub¬ stitutes demonstrated their ability in this game. “A Tournament was held in Evansville, February 27-28-29, between the various feminine teams. Nolan was entered among the ranks of the purple and white. “The Swans Downs were defeated on the 27th, score 21-6; the follow- Torbet Kroening 128 THE TEAM ing evening, Lockyear’s was again defeated, 16-7, but on the third evening the Pioneers fell once more to the invincible—” “Not those Turners,” burst out Daniel. “The same,” said Father Time. Then he continued, “The college girls fought bravely and desperately, but they were outplayed, 23-12, by the ulti¬ mate winners of the city championship. “The following week E. C. defeated First Avenue, 25-17, in a practice game. “The team has won twelve games, tied one, and lost three. “The girls are familiarly known by the following names: Bones Bent- zen, Weesie Kroening, Flops 1 an II, Klamer and Rold, respectively; Gus Lytle, Treedy Reller, Blub Miller, Dean Torbet, and Dot and Dash, Sertel and Zenthoefer, respectively. Of these all will return next year except Kroening and Sertel.” “That’s all for this year,” said Father Time. “Are you proud of your namesakes?” “I shore am,” said Dan, grinning like a new daddy. “But what hap¬ pened the next year?” “Here, read it yourself,” said Father Time, handing over the book. 129 CLASS SCRAP 130 RHB SEPTEMBER 25.

The transition from the old home at Moores Hill was fully completed. The college had been functioning for three years in temporary quarters at Evansville. Now, with the old ideals enriched and enlarged, life had begun anew in Administration Hall on the Lincoln Avenue campus. The growth of the college was so rapid that the new building was no sooner occupied than the need of additional equipment began to be felt. When school opened in the autumn of 1922, President Hughes announced that a campaign for $1,000,000 was to be the financial program for the year. This campaign was postponed because of other financial drives in the city but after several months of careful preparation was begun in earnest early in 1924. When the students assembled in the fall of 1922, they found not only a wonderfully beautiful and efficient plant but also a faculty and curriculum more fitted to their needs. A new department of business administra¬ tion headed by Dr. W. F. Mitchell and an enlarged musical department under Prof, and Mrs. Heidecker were notable features. The college made plans this year to offer the degrees of M. A. and B. S. in addition to the A. B. degree. Degrees were now obtainable in liberal arts, science, music, education, and business administration. The increase in student body was commensurate with the increase in faculty and curricula. There were 238 students enrolled on registration day of the fall quarter. This was a 20% increase over the previous year. By January, 1924, the number of regularly enrolled students exceeded 300 while the members of the music and extension courses brought the total enrollment to approximately 450. 142 A growing school spirit was clearly discernible during the years 1922- 1924 and there was much worthy accomplishment. During the autumn quarter of 1922 the college Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. put over a drive for $1,500 to fit out a tea-room and men’s hangout on the campus. The Huttea Company was formed and shares sold to the faculty and students at $6 each. On March 2, 1922, the Tea Pot Inn and “Y” hut were opened with great ceremony. Distinction was also brought to Evansville College in intercollegiate affairs. In 1923, Chas. F. Ault, president of the Oxford club of the college, was elected to the presidency of the national organiza¬ tion of that name. During the same term Herman Stratton, the first rep¬ resentative for the college to send to the state oratorical contest, won sec¬ ond place in that event. There was no college annual published in 1923, but the seniors put out a class book in its stead. The second volume of the LinC, issued in 1924 with a circulation of 700, was the work of the Student Government Association. Twenty-three members made up the graduating class of 1923 and eighteen the class of 1924. Basketball was the only intercollegiate sport in which the college par¬ ticipated during the term of 1922-23, but some intra-mural track meets and baseball games were staged. In the spring quarter a tennis club was formed and courts erected on the campus. In the fall of 1923 football made its appearance in Evansville College. On October 19, 1923, Evansville College played and won the first football game in its history. This game 143 with Union Christian college was also the first intercollegiate football game ever played in Evansville. Under the able guidance of John M. Harmon, the Purple and White broke even on a hard schedule. During his first year term at Evansville College (1923-24) the coach also put his athletes through stiff programs of basketball and baseball. This term marks the beginning of a broader athletic policy in the institution. On February 11, 1923, the spirit of Evansville College was saddened by the death of James A. Hemenway, trustee. Mr. Hemenway was a former U. S. senator and leading citi¬ zen of Boonville. JAMES A. HEMENWAY Because of his advanced age, and his desire to with¬ draw from all active interests of every kind, Francis Joseph Reitz has tendered his resig¬ nation which has been ac¬ cepted by the Board of Trus¬ tees. The college authorities have expressed great appreci¬ ation of the services ren¬ dered the institution by Mr. Reitz. By the spring of 1924 the campus had become a beautiful and pleas¬ ant place to dwell. Walks and greenery had largely taken the place of yellow clay around the building. Headen Retreat, a strollers’ paradise, had been planted during the preceding year. Its donor, Mrs. Jennie Head¬ en, had set out much of the shrubbery with her own hands. With the success of its million dollar campaign virtually assured, the college was making plans for the erection of much needed additional build¬ ings. This period was characterized by other favorable signs not to be over¬ looked. There was greater attention paid to the college by the community at large than ever before and a snappy, boisterous spirit to the student body that showed that Evansville College was making strides toward the great university she is destined to become. FRANCIS J. REITZ 144 Million Sollar Campaign March, 1924, was perhaps the busiest month in the history of the col¬ lege. The first half of the month was taken up with intensive preparation for the Million Dollar Drive that was soon to be launched. While the big guns were being primed at headquarters, student soldiers were being trained on and off the campus. They were put to work mailing literature, drilled about the city in parades and shot by numerous cameramen. On March 18 the great drive began. The student body touched off the fire-works by pledging approximately $17,500 toward the fund. The senior class led out by making a unanimous pledge of $200 per member. Dr. J. Y. Welborn of Evansville also made his gift of $50,000, the largest received in the city, at the very outset of the campaign. By March 25, the date set for the close of the campaign, $749,777 of the million had been raised. Evansville had contributed $402,135 of her $500,000 quota. Evansville College, however, was determined to have her million. The students took it upon themselves to raise $10,000 of the deficit. They or¬ ganized themselves in regular campaign style, with rival teams, pep stunts, and noon-day lunches. This left approximately $80,000 of Evansville’s quota still to be raised and a group of loyal citizens pledged themselves to stay with the job until every cent of it had been obtained.

WEYERBACHER Of old the poets sang of men like gods, Yet in the height of their imagining, Dreamed not of one who would take plates and rods And make from them an almost living thing, A thing, devised of lifeless bolts and bars, Fit to be called a Daughter of the Stars. Breaking the shackles binding him to earth, He dares to rise, defying time and space, And like a creature of diviner birth, Making the boundless air his dwelling place, He wrests from jealous gods their guarded power, And stands with them, their equal for an hour. Lucille. 150 152 “AS I SEE HER” By Jack Bryan There are many ways of defining- a well-rounded college woman, and each definition is different. Some say that she must be vivacious, charming, popular, brilliant in studies, and liked by everyone. Now, this is my idea of a well-rounded college woman. She must be about five feet tall, built close to the ground, must weigh about one hundred and eighty pounds, should have a waist line almost distinguishable, and she must be vivacious and always have something to say to everyone, whether she knows him or not. This woman should wear big shell- rimmed glasses, all college women do, and, of course, she would be popular with her family, they all are. This lady does not necessarily need to be brilliant in studies, for too few of them are (0 dirty jab!) to have me say that a requisite for a well-rounded college woman is to be brilliant in studies. OUT OUR WAY The Bellemeade street car is the one you take to go out to Evans¬ ville College; that is, providing the car comes along and if it does, provided it stops for you. (Another case of “If we had some ham, we’d have some ham and eggs, if we had some eggs”.) The Kornerville Trolley hasn’t a thing on the Bellemeade Trolley. The Bellemeade Trolley gets off the track, (as it were). The Trolley is wont to skuttle by once every fifteen minutes. It does—in fair weather. But let it rain or snow, it staggers and floun¬ ders into view when the current wills. (Take it from me, it isn’t very often the current wills.) Perversity in women is excusable, in Trolleys-? As for independence—let it here be said, “Time, tide, and Trolleys wait for no man.” (Experience is a dear teacher). MORAL—Trust not a Bellemeade Trolley to get you to an eight o’clock class on time—WALK. The following is the definition Mrs. Franklin gives of the reasons girls take Teachers’ Training: Mrs. Franklin: “Girls take the course to get the credits, to get the certificate, to get the school, to get the money, to get the clothes.” Jack Bryan: “To get the MAN.” 153 IN PHYSIOLOGY Dr. Bigney: “How many ribs have you, Miss Huston?” M. L. Huston: “I don’t know. I’m so ticklish I never could count them.” DRAW YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS James Bryan: “Don’t tell me you don’t know who Thomas Edison is!” Jack B.: “No foolin’. I don’t know half the fellows in the fresh¬ man class.” If a fellow calls on his sweetheart in a thunder shower, is he a rainbow ? On a warm spring day the windows were open in a country school house. A pupil was reading orally when a cow mooed outside the window. Pupil: “Mam?” AN ATTENTIVE HOSTESS Miss Kister (hostess at dinner): “Mr. Heidecker, have you a salad fork?” Mr. Heidecker: “Yes, but I didn’t know you were going to check up on the silver before we left.” AFTER THE WRECK Judge: “Ten days or ten dollars, take your choice.” C. Deitsch: “I’ll take the money, your honor.” “GOLLY, AIN’T IT QUEER?” (After Lincoln’s Birthday) I often pause and wonder At Fate’s peculiar ways, For nearly all our famous men Were born on holidays! Prof. Humke—giving educational references: “Strayer and En- glehart, Chapter 4. Ditto Chapter 5.” M. Barrett: “Prof. Humke, where can I find that man Ditto?” 154 (Hging ®1 jp 2utot Does a window shade think ? I wonder. This tan one in the library is acting very curious if it is not thinking. That student indifferently toying with the tassel is the cause of great annoyance to Mr. Window Shade. And it is little wonder, for how would you like to be pulled and pushed, snatched and smashed about, as he is at the will and fancy of somebody larger than you? Maybe you would like to have your hair tangled and—knotted!! Yes, you would about as much as Mr. Shade likes his tassel and cord to be treated so! See, every time the fellow knots the cord Mr. Shade contracts a ter¬ rible rage and flies up. That boy just don’t understand the family of Shades! Now that Student is covering his body with Mr. Window Shade, much as one uses a blanket or lap-robe. The idea to be mistaken for a lap-robe is too much for the indignant Mr. Shade, spelled with an “e”. Then to add insult to injury the captor is trying to tie the knot again as he looks dreamily onto the snow. Mr. Shade flaps angrily, thinking he’d teach him to dream. The fellow jerks nonchalantly on the precious appendage of the insulted Mr. Shade and he falls! Mr. Shade does, I mean; however, the fellow will too, and the shade won’t need to think any more today, for here comes the librarian. 155 j gatpm In Quearsumville, water power was never known and wells are used exclusively. But—a very wonderful system has been installed whereby no one can possibly drown in the wells of many fathoms deep. Note the il¬ lustration. When a victim falls into the well, the force pulls a rope to which a bell is attached. It rings, thus calling the public, then a bucket, No. 2, is so arranged that the force jerks the bucket, thereby dumping the contents on first aid, who is sleeping. He jumps up and down in ex¬ citement, jerking the heavy string which starts the auto. Sleeping 2nd Aid awakens. He has his hands on the wheel and pushes a button. He knows his station, rushes to it, lowers his ladder, and— 156 ‘‘ODur UiaitorH” Ten odd and restless Prestus Johns Resolved one day to visit school- We greeted them in ecstacy, According to the golden rule: Now surely,” said we, pointing yon And back again, “there ought to be, Of all this wondrous scenery Some special part that you would see”.

This particular part of the campus was beautified under the per¬ sonal supervision of Mrs. Jennie Headen, who gave her time toward planning this place and making it into a fitting memorial for her husband, the late Reverend Heber Harry Head¬ en, and her two children, Heber, Jr., and Anna Margaret. MRS. HEBER HEADEN At the entrance to the retreat are two semi-circular slabs, one of which bears the name and date, Headen Retreat—1922; the other, the follow¬ ing message to the students, “See God in every tree and bush and flower and blade of grass.” Here the college colors greet the students in the purple and white of violets, lilacs, and iris. Winding paths lead toward the center of the grove of trees, vines, and wild flowers, where there is an attractive pergola surrounded by rose bushes. Farther to the northern side is the shady bitter-sweet arbor. In the spring the famous gate trees of New Harmony and the Empress trees of Cannelton delight the students with their profuse blossoms, and in the fall the pawpaw, hickory nut, and persimmon trees are the source of pleas¬ ure. With its trees and shrubs, Headen Retreat presents an attractive ap¬ pearance in its rustic beauty, doors of Evansville College, it and as long as students enter and leave the will be a favorite haunt of the students. 162 163 TRINITY M. E. CHOIR In the spring of 1923 the music students gave a public performance, at¬ tracting much attention from the city of Evansville, which responded en¬ thusiastically, filling the College auditorium to overflowing. On the following evening, just preceding the annual faculty reception, Mrs. Heidecker and Mrs. French, who was at that time piano instructor, gave an artists’ concert. This marked the last connection of Mrs. French with the College as she moved shortly afterward to Philadelphia. During the past year Mr. Heidecker was called to Trinity Church to take charge of the music there. They have quite a large choir of which a number of Evansville College students are members. On such occasions as Easter and Christmas special concerts are given in addition to the regu¬ lar Sunday performances. The Evansville College chorus is a prominent and attractive organiza¬ tion composed of some forty or fifty members. This body has appeared many times in the chapel exercises either to help in the regular chapel singing or to render special music. At the end of the school year, 1923, with the help of other music students, they presented in a very charming manner, “The Trial By Jury,” an operetta by Gilbert and Sullivan. 164 (Unllpjgp (irrlipstra Early in the spring of 1923 came the call for a college orchestra. About twenty students rallied to the cause and organized themselves under the leadership of Ruth Bristow, so that it was possible to perform at several student functions. This year it was reorganized with larger numbers under Professor Heidecker and is now making rapid progress. Hut Comfort and pleasant surroundings, scientists tell us, are the greatest aids to digestion. Surely, these are to be found in the home-like Tea Hut where Mrs. Gould is busy all day serving hot cocoa and sandwiches, and where every detail “measures up” to one’s ideal of home. Here at the small tables there is opportunity for a quiet conversation with friends “over the teacups”. Not only is leisure time enjoyed here but many a hun¬ gry student has found time to snatch a lunch between classes. Another thing that lends the home touch is the fact that this is the girls’ receiving- station for their mail. 165 Alumni NuIpu Since the college was established at Evansville five years ago it has conferred degrees on thirty-seven students. The first graduate and the only one of the class of ’21, was Mrs. Carl Wolflin (Helen Busse). The second class was composed of twelve members and the third of twenty- three. Various phases of life are represented by the alumni. Of the total number who have graduated seventeen are engaged in the teaching pro¬ fession, five have entered the business world, six are taking graduate work, one has entered the ministry, one is doing Y. M. C. A. work, another Y. W. C. A. work, one is taking nurses’ training, and the remainder are involved in household duties. Walter Wahnsiedler, ’23, besides his teaching profes¬ sion, is engaged in making an intensive study of the trees of southern In¬ diana from a scientific point of view. In the spring of ’23, the Evansville College Alumni Touring Association was organi zed. The charter members consisted of John K. Jones, Ralph Olmsted, A. M. Brown, and Herman Stratton of the class of ’23. After graduation an extensive trip was made by this group, touring the western states. At a meeting of the Association of Alumni Workers of Indiana col¬ leges held in February at Purdue University, Sarah Lee Lloyd, ’22, repre¬ sented the alumni of Evansville College. Ours was one of the eleven col¬ leges eligible to attend the meeting, which was for the purpose of ex¬ changing ideas with regard to the work of the alumni in aiding colleges. 166 167 168 CAST—“THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST Jmpnrtanrp nf Seittg lEarnpat” The Thespians organized on a permanent basis in November, 1923, the first organization in the College’s history to devote itself strictly to dra¬ matics. There were eight charter members chosen by the sponsors, who planned the club on paper in June, 1923. These sponsors were Archiless M. Brown, John K. Jones, and Robert Owens. The charter members are Lou¬ ise Wright, Mabel Yates, Pauline Sigler, Marguerite Roberts, Marianna Andres, Zee Dunning, Sidney Spector, and Norman Critser. In December, three more members were voted in: Perry Streithof, Stanley Cubbison, and Nathalie Goeke. With a group of eleven, then, the Thespian Club planned for its first dramatic production, and the first long play ever given in the college. On March 15, Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest,” was produced, with a cast selected through competition which was open to the entire college.

This new adaptation from the book of the same name by Louisa May Alcott has been staged in London by Jessie Bonstelle, and at The Playhouse in New York City by William A. Brady. The members of the cast are as follows: Mr. March .Clarence Deitsch “He will stay and do his work faithfully, as long ' as he can.” Mrs. March.Florence Weber The placid, sweet-faced mother, the center of the March family, who would ask if her daughters had handkerchiefs if they were running away from a volcano. Meg .Ruth Miller The oldest girl of the family, who, with her calmness and dignity, man¬ ages her sisters, as well as her husband and twins. Jo .....Marie Barrett She can’t get over her disappointment in not being a boy. She is the author of the March family, a “regular Shakespeare”, who would love to do Macbeth if she only had a trap-door for Banquo. Beth .Doris Swift Shy, gentle, never idle, she is the angel of the March family. She radiates the nearness of God during her life, as well as at the hour of her death. Amy.Nina Lee Burkhart The artist, pouty and temperamental, who is always in love with Laurie, even when he is in love with Jo. “She goes to bed with a clothes-pin on her nose to uplift that offending feature”, and her vo-co-labilary” is “statirical.” Aunt March.Margaret Myers The rich but stingy aunt, with her tongue sharpened on. both edges. James Laurence.John Iv. Jones Laurie’s grandfather, the scholarly gentleman of the old school, who is always on hand in an emergency. Laurie . Temple Dick Pull of fun, with a merry smile and wheedlesome ways. He has a certain mental complex toward Jo, but later he wakes up to the realization that he is in love with Amy. Professor Bhaer. James Bryan “Ein Deitsche professorin,” who has a hard time understanding Jo, but when he does, it is a complete understanding. “I haf an eye und I see much. I haf a heart und I feel.” John Brooke.Ed. Denzer A quiet, home-loving man. While his mind was always upon the tutoring of Laurie, his heart was upon Meg. Hannah Mullett.Helen Bei ' telsen The old family servant, respectful but masterful. She is accustomed to rule the March girls, and to share in the household joys and sorrows. The following people also did a great deal toward making a success of the play. Coach . Directors.

The college colors, purple and white, were used attractively in the decorations. The guests included students and friends of the college, trustees and the alumni. The seniors assisted in presenting the guests to those in the receiving line. Although the reception was formal, a happy spirit of informality and good time was felt. Students and faculty enjoyed the opportunity of meet¬ ing each other outside the classroom. The musical program of the evening was splendid. A group of songs was sung by Mr. John Sullivan, one of the well-known tenors of the city. Miss Bessie LaRivaere and Mr. Sullivan sang a duet accompanied by Miss Cavender, and two piano numbers were given by Mrs. LaRivaere. 172 Hallmuknt Parti} Witches! Jack-o-lanterns! Black cats! The bones of Oakland City already in the coffin! ’Twas in such an atmosphere that ghosts, tramps, queens, and fairies gathered in the College Gymnasium on the dark night of October 26. The evening’s fun began with a grand march which afforded the judges an opportunity to make their decisions. “Comp” Capel (the most original) shocked the old maid (the best disguised) by coming in a barrel. The ex¬ citement grew as the company, attended by shrieks and groans, made its way through underground passages and through shadowy halls. A gypsy fortune-teller furnished thrills to all who entered her tent. By the time the last reveller had left her tent, the “eats” were ready to be served. Then with the firelight lending a spectral touch to the shadows, a marshmallow toast was enjoyed on the campus. It was an adventuresome evening! 173 JniUtrliott Say Sanqupt As a fitting climax to Induction Day, the Student Government Asso¬ ciation gave a banquet at the Cham¬ ber of Commerce on November 9, in honor of the newly inducted fresh¬ men. “Spirit” was the keynote of the evening and manifested itself in the soft candle light, in the music, and in the speeches. Henry Simpson, as toastmaster, in¬ troduced the various speakers whose subjects were originated from the let¬ ters of the word “Spirit”, each letter forming the first letter of a subject. A freshman, Emerson Melton, gave the first talk, using the first let¬ ter in “Spirit,” which stood for “Student”. In a series of short speeches, Forrest Kelp spoke on “Pep”; Carl Johnson on “Induction”; Dorothea Snethen on “Regulations”; and Marguerite Roberts on “Ideals”. The last letter in the word “Spirit” stood for “Thought” and Dr. Bassett proved to everyone that college students really do think. The surprise of the evening was the announcement of the outcome of the beauty contest staged by the Student Government Association. All the lights were dimmed except those on the stage where the winner of the beauty contest, Marianna Andres, took her place. Above her on streamers of white was written in purple letters the word “Spirit” which so char¬ acterized the tone of the evening. 174 UnoipnH (CnlU ' iu ' 2llub Hiatt In an effort to enroll more out of town members, the Social Committee of the Women’s College Club enter¬ tained its out of town members and visitors at the College on Dec. 6. Vis¬ itors were present from Mt. Vernon, Princeton, Newburg and Boonville. During the morning the guests at¬ tended the chapel exercises and the various classes. At noon a luncheon was served in the cafeteria to which the members of the Executive Board of the Club, the Faculty Dames, and the members of the faculty were also invited. The program consisted of talks by Mrs. G. B. Franklin, Dr. Hughes and Mrs. George S. Clifford, the first president of the club. In the afternoon, the visitors attended the tea given in the Women’s Rest Room by the Home Economics Department in connection with their garment ex¬ hibit. FRESHMEN “KID” PARTY 175 Hella How closely seems my life bound up with bells! They ring before my “Math” is half begun, But in the classroom seem to loathe to ring Until the Doctor has his pleasure done. They lengthen torture; but joys so fleet On winged feet Speed like a demon, till that hated ring Their dirges sing, And to an end my choicest pleasures bring. Not only pain, but pleasure Their tones of sweetness tell And oft my anxious heart awaits The ringing of the bell. One cling admits my presence Where joy and gladness reign One angry clang as surely Can drive me out again. Some day they ring so gladly When Love is crowned And just a bit of heaven On earth is found. Their sweetly solemn toll Attend the footsteps slow To saddening portals Closed Where only death can go. Then sing heigh ho! heigh ho! To pain or pleasure we’ll go We’ll follow the bell To its sad farewell As long as we’re here below. EDGAR M.

And as I gazed, I noticed, flitting by, A graceful, multicolored butterfly. The airy creature darted here and there From rose to rose; now springing in the air; Now dashing down aslant; now circling low; Capricious as the winds that come and go. The butterfly passed on; and soon to me Appeared a sober-coated honey-bee. And, humming busily, he settled down, Submerging in a flower his coat of brown, And gathered all its nectar, I suppose, Before he flew to seek another rose. And as I gazed, I pondered, “Which am I ? A honey-bee? Or just a butterfly?” S. R. Loyalty Industry Nonsen si tv Campustry. These are the LinCs that will not sever,— Guaranteed to bind forever,— Our hearts to old E. C. N.

I know a lass whose rosy lips “I oft hae kissed sae fondly” And whose fond eyes “their sparkling glance” Hath “dwelt on me sae kindly” Still shall I kiss those rosy lips ? Those eyes that glance so sprightly Shall move my soul to glorious deeds And life shall sparkle brightly. Still warm my heart my bonny love, Nor leave to lesser pleasure, For time destroys the sweet lament Though loving beyond measure. Though death create a work of art One moment’s sweetness giving Thy life shall make a poet’s song Of all my humble living. EDGAR M. McKOWN. 179 i ' uru i mtga nf IGowp I. ANTICIPATION When I look beneath the surface Of the lives of those I know, I find so much that hurts me: So much of woe, And disillusionment. And hate, and pain;— Unutterably tired, I turn away; Then find someone like you, And straightway I’m inspired To look again. II. REALIZATION The gayest of the autumn leaves Seem dull and old Till changed by sunset’s lingering rays To red and gold. So when you are away, my days Are grey and drear, But all my hours are tinged with gold When you are near. III. APPREHENSION I sang of sunshine in that vivid April, When Spring was new, and clouds obscured the sun; I sang of beauty, and that beauty faded Before my song was done. Since sun-kissed hills of which I sang so gladly Are veiled in heavy curtains of grey rain, I dare not sing of love, lest all its splendor Should be dissolved in pain. 180 IV. REMORSE Eve ate the fruit of a forbidden tree In Paradise, when first the world began, And straightway she was banished in disgrace, And Eden was forever closed to man. Incredible that such a little deed In our great world should play so large a part; Eve ate an apple long ago, and I— I spoke a little word, and broke a heart. V. BEWILDERMENT When but a wee child in my mother’s garden, I used to pull up flowers in my play, Though later I oft put them back, believing That they would grow again. When I grew older, from my heart’s fair garden I cast a love whose worth I did not know, And now I’ve tried to put it back and wonder Just why it doesn’t grow. VI. PAIN I hardly knew when love was born, It came so quietly and still, Like the first faint flush of Spring Upon the misty April hills. I did not find it in my heart Till half its brief, bright days had sped;— I hardly knew when love was born, But ah, the pain since it is dead! VII. PEACE South wind, and a lark’s glad song, And the promise of coming Spring,— How can a heart be troubled By anything ?

Dusk, when the sky flames red, And lengthening shadows fall, When the wind stirs the rustling corn, And crickets call. The road when the stars are out In the hush of a summer night, The mystery of the hills, The glow of lights. Whenever I’ve taken the road, Wherever my feet have trod, I have found peace and beauty, And God. LUCILLE. 182 J0y IFrirui) I have a quaint friend who stands guarding one of the driveways that sweeps up to the building. He is a very exclusive fellow, and hard to get along with. Our friend¬ ship has not been due to a chance acquaintance, but is the result of much patient for¬ bearance on my part. For this I have been richly repaid as he has often tickled my cafeteria—weary palate with that unique confection which he saves for those who visit him often. I well remember the day in early fall on which I first met him; my attention was attracted by the utter absurdity of his appearance. He seemed to be dancing about in a wild, helpless rage, contorting himself into the most fantastic shapes. Approaching to discover if possible the cause of this droll behavior, I saw that he was bedecked with a miscellany of queer objects including sticks and rusty old tin cans. Laughing at the old fellow’s rage and twitting him with his impotence, I seized a stick with the purpose of further adding to his indignities. Looking upward, I suddenly became aware of a meaning in his actions which I had not before caught. A terrible frown wrinkled his visage and he seemed to be reaching down with outstretched hands to chastise me for my boldness. For a moment I feared him, then my sympathy went out to this noble creature whose delicate nature was suffering under these indignities. Through this new under¬ standing and compassion, I gradually worked my way into his friendship. When I visited him, he seemed to become warm and to lose some of his crustiness. Thus our friendship progressed famously until one day I was called aw r ay and did not return for some time. When I finally came back, my first thought was to wonder how my friend had got¬ ten along during my absence. Hastening to visit him, I received a great sur prise. Could that cheerful looking person be my friend? Indeed it was; he had felt the inspiration of awakening nature and in his endeavors to hide his former ill-nature, had transformed himself almost beyond recognition. This round-topped, glistening green persimmon tree waving a cheerful greeting to me ■was indeed my friend of old, with all his former characteristics removed save the frown, which his now good nature had not sufficed to eradicate, and which the lustrous screen of leaves could not hide. WALTER HUDSON. 183 Bat?!-? One—two—three—four! One—two—three—four! Up, down! Up, down! The woman groaned, but went at it again, doggedly. One—two—three—four—ah, at last with a mighty effort, her finger-tips came in contact with the floor for an instant, and she raised a red, perspiring face in triumph. The record pounded on—one—two—three— Heaven pity her—the fat woman! She longs for food, but it is denied her. One cup of tea, one wafer when her heart cries out for meat, mashed potatoes and French pastries. Savory odors guide her to the fascinating windows of the bake-shop, but the hungry street urchins never gazed more wistfully than she on the massive cakes and snowy meringue pies therein. Alas, these are not for her. Slender, willowy young things bear away the trophies from beneath her longing eyes. In the night caloides rise up and haunt her dream. Her favorite masterpieces in English literature are “How To Grow Thin” and “Calories and Your Diet” and these she reads daily with religious fervor. Her dressing-table tells a story of vain hopes and bitter disillusions. There was one little jar on which she pinned her faith for many months—it was guaranteed to be a friend of the fat woman, to change the most hopeless of figures into a form divine. But it joined its brothers at last in the neat little row of reducing creams. One—two—three—four! The record rattled on, and instinctively she bent over to span the sickening abyss between her fingers and her toes. F. W. 184 185 Qttrcicfive,. £dWARD UM NE. . 186 Qll 0-6 t Sincere- ' . H U .

Its mildly flavored juicy leaves have made it a great favorite from the most ancient times. Augustus Caesar was very fond of lettuce and attributed to its use his recovery from a serious illness. It is said that he afterward held this plant in such high esteem that he erected a statue and dedicated an altar to it. Lettuce furnishes valuable salts and vitamines and supplies bulk to aid bowel action. Moral: Eat Lettuce. Call your Grocer—We Do Not Retail Neitert Produce Co. Evansville, Ind.

IN 1854, When we went into business, Southern Indiana was a crude proposition —a few farmsteads here and there—hardy pioneers trying to wrest a living from obstinate nature. Life was simple and rough; chills and ague had to be fought with roots and herbs and home-made draughts and the good old doctor traveled on horse-back and brought them babies and dispensed drops, cordials and quinine out of his saddle-bag—also sulphur and molasses for the children’s blood.

The Growing Preference for Face Brick “I wish that I could afford a brick house”—that’s what so many pros¬ pective home owners said about Face Brick houses a few years ago. Today this desire for the home of Face Brick is being expressed less in wishes and more in the actual building and purchase of Face Brick houses. Many people who once thought that they could not afford Face Brick have now come to the conclusion that they cannot afford any other kind of house. In our advertising campaigns to the public during the last four years we have been stressing the true economy of the Face Brick house. Pros¬ pective home buyers are learning that the slight extra first cost of Face Brick is only an investment against high repair, painting and other upkeep bills, high insurance rates, excessive heating costs and premature depreci¬ ation. “The Story of Brick,’ ’an attractive booklet with beautiful illustrations of modern homes, discusses such matters as Comparative Costs, Basic Re¬ quirements in Building, the Extravagance of Cheapness, and other kindred subjects. Ask for a copy. You are invited to visit our Display Rooms and see the many shades and textures laid up with different joints and mortar colors. STANDARD BRICK MFG. CO.
