University of Evansville - LinC Yearbook (Evansville, IN)

Text from Pages 1 - 226 of the 1926 volume:

Alrlu ' uuj This is the fourth LinC in the chain, Of iron, or steel, perchance of silver made, A record, simply, of this last year’s gain In spirit, as we’ve worked, and played. There will he other days when eyes, Made keen from following for years the quest Of Light eternal, will find here ties Undreamed of, truth in what seemed jest. Then we shall see, and not before, Hoiv memories, growing rich as they grow old, Will increase the beauty of each scene of yore And make of this a LinC of Gold. HASTING.

We have attempted to live up to these words and, in so doing, we have also tried to make our LinC as strong and firm as any that has gone before. It is impossible in one small volume to portray everything in one eventful college year; we have, however, attempted to make these pages reflect the highdights and in a measure the everyday occurrences of this happy year. If in the future our book will come to serve as a real link between our memories and our college days, if through it we may live again the best moments of this year, it will have stood the test of a true LinC. 0 KD Dedication T O him who first saw the vision of our Alma Mater, to him who made the first effort toward the realization of that vision, to him, the sympathetic friend and advisor, the Father of Evansville College, we dedh cate this nineteen hundred and twenty ' six edition of the LinC.

Aurelia is the girl whose curls have been the envy of many who have fallen from grace and discarded their long locks. She is an all-around good scout whose friendship is worth cultivat¬ ing. She is a thorough and conscientious stu¬ dent and manages somehow always to get things done on time. Surely, one would want no bet¬ ter proof of this than the fact that she handled so efficiently and promptly the organisation sec¬ tion of the LinC. She also seems to be able to manage efficiently a spirited offspring of the famous Ford family; and she very generously shares it with anyone who happens to need it. She manages social affairs with an unconcern which makes them go through with flying colors. She plans to be a teacher and surely her abil¬ ity to master the hard tasks of school life will help in the conquering of the bigger problems that are commonly called boys and girls. “No sinner, yet no saint perhaps, But—wellr the very best of chaps.” Philo: Vice-President ’25-’26; Business Ad¬ ministration Club; Student Decorum Commit¬ tee; Treasurer Senior Class; LinC Staff ’26. “Jesse” is a name that will long be respected in the halls of Evansville College for its honesty and its nobleness. The motto of this Senior has always been: “Work; for nothing can be ac¬ quired by playing.” The results of his three years in E. C. have well illustrated this attitude. Jesse has completed his work in three years by attending during summer quarters. He has proved a very conscientious c hairman of the decorum committee of the Student Gov¬ ernment Association. All of those who have known Jesse are confident that he will carry on the work that was meant for him. As for ob¬ stacles, there are no such things; handicaps are events to train for greater problems. Don’t think for a minute that he is merely an idealistic chap; for he is a practical student. One can draw this inference from Jesse’s policy of rising early, manning E. C.’s faithful “Henry and bringing joy in the form of Uncle Sam’s greetings from here, there, and everywhere. 40 mnurr MARGARET BURKERT English Education Evansville. “She was a scholar and ripe and good one, Exceeding wise, fair spoken, and persuading.” We are certainly delighted to welcome into our class one so versatile as Margaret Burkert. She is a native of Vandalia, Illinois. Having done her previous work at Illinois State Normal and the University of Illinois, she entered Ev- ansville College for her Senior year. For two years she was a teacher in the commercial de¬ partment at Central High School. She says that her greatest delight is in working out new systems for the teaching of shorthand. How¬ ever, we have seen this year that she is a marvel at translating either Shakespeare or Sandburg; and a glimpse at her husky husband tells us that she is no mean housekeeper. Besides these ac¬ tivities, she has charge of the commercial work four nights each week in the vocational school at Central High. One is not surprised that, with so much pep, her favorite sport is skating, and that she is trying to get interested in golf. MARY CHEWNING History French Evansville. “My own thoughts are my companions.” Castalian. Mary came back from Indiana University to graduate with us and certainly found a ready welcome. No one who has ever loved our Un¬ cle John of Central High School days could fail to love Mary. But, really, Mary doesn’t need her Dad’s reputation at all, for her friendly smile and good humor are magnets that attract friends by the score. While at I. U., she was a member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority and has served as prosecuting attorney for the Castalian society of our own school. It is not hard to sum up Mary ' s interests for she rather emphatically insists that there is one thing, and one only, in which she is interested; that is Kindergarten work. She plans to enter the National Kindergarten School next fall; and we feel sure that one with her personality and enthusiasm for the work will be sure to suc¬ ceed. 41 Music Art Mt. Vernon, Indiana. “Let us enjoy pleasure while we can; pleasure is never long enough.” Sigournean; Chorus; Y. W. C. A. Another Mary just dropped in for her Senior year, preferring us to Oxford College or De- Pauw University where she had her first three years’ work. We think E. C. may certainly be congratulated on such good fortune. You’re feeling blue? Well, let’s call for Mary and she will teach you to smile. If you’ve never seen a real smile, just look at Mary’s dimples when she goes dancing down the hall with that characteristic little trot of hers. I assure you she will have you laughing in .the twinkle of an eye. And Mary not only smiles, but she laughs fairly well. She could never keep a secret if she wanted to, because one can look into those pretty brown eyes and read her very soul. Yes, Mary’s life is quite an open book with many pages.

Clarence or “Willie” is one of the individuals of our class to whom everyone must look up; for he towers above ordinary folk in physique as well as in other things. His enviable record in basrball has shown that he firmly believes that all work and no play would make “Willie” a dull boy. For the past two years he has been a loyal outfielder on the College Baseball team. “Willie” was one of the engineering students who helped in the construction of the new Ad¬ ministration Hall as part of his co-operative school work. In addition, he has had wide ex¬ perience as a civil engineer in all phases of the work, having worked as a laborer, surveyor, salesman, and draftsman. He believes in being thorough even when it comes to discussion. His friends know him to be sincere and trustworthy and are confident of the success of a man guided by such principles as those of honesty and per¬ severance. u— 42 I Evansville. Biology Chemistry English History Evansville. “Then he will talk—ye gods! How he will talk!” Dr. Downs is surely a member any class might be proud to claim. A jolly, good fellow he is, whose Irish (?) wit has been known to wake up a class in English history. He is at present a practicing dentist in Evans¬ ville having received the degree of Doctor of Dental Science from Vanderbilt in 1921. Per¬ chance, that satisfactorily explains his rooting on a certain January night for a team whom we were so delighted to defeat. While at Vanderbilt, he belonged to the Phi Kappa Sigma, Psi Omega, and Beta Sigma Upsilon. He is a member of the National, State, and Local Dental Societies, Associate Fellow in the American Medical Association, and a member of the National Council of the American Stoma¬ tological Association. He frequently contrib¬ utes to the “Review of Clinical Stomatology” and “The Dental Digest” and lectures on His¬ tology and Embryology. He is also at work on a book treating of a certain phase of dental re¬ search. “Your merry heart goes on forever.” Classical Club; LinC Staff ’26. Emma is unusually intelligent; she proved it when she chose to graduate from E. C. with the class of ’26. The samples that she had in sum¬ mer courses here were evidently convincing. At any rate, she enrolled for full time work in her Senior year. Whether she is trying to crowd four years into one, or whether she is one of those people who are just made that way, we can ' t say, but she is certainly running away with the scholarship record. Her leisure moments are with such small tasks as acting as literary editor of the LinC and giving music lessons. It takes more than that to ruffle her calm and smil¬ ing disposition, for Emma’s good nature and modesty are proverbial. 43 UNIVERSITY OF EVANSVILLE LIBRARIES Chemistry Home Economics Chandler, Indiana. “She is herself of best things the collection.” Sigournean; Chorus ’22- ' 24; Treasurer Hughes Hall ' 25-’26; Junior Assistant in Chemistry ’23-’24; Senior Assistant ’25-’26. Everyone wonders what Dr. Strickler will do without Flora for she has surely won for her ' self no mean repute as a mine of scientific in ' formation and a real genius when it comes to handling engineers in the chemical laboratory. Again one wonders whether it was just an in- teresting coincidence that she happened to make Home Economics her minor, that she is inter- ested in Food Analysis and writes on such sub- jects as “The Relation of Chemistry to the Home.” The girls at Hughes Hall will tell you that she is an all-round fine girl, one that you can depend on when everyone else fails you. Her home is in Chandler where, they say, ambitions grow into realities. She has already made plans for graduate study in her chosen field and ex¬ pects to work for her M. A. next year.

W. C. A. Cabinet ’23-’24; Secretary Senior Class; LinC Staff ’26. Margaret’s interesting personality and friendly spirit of good fellowship have made her popu¬ lar in all phases of college work. One can hard¬ ly mention a social committee during the four years she attended E. C. without thinking im¬ mediately of Margaret and the success she has made of so many of our social activities. She has conned carefully a certain old adage quite familiar to most of us about “the way to a man’s heart.” Margaret doesn’t divulge very many of her likes and dislikes but we can never forget how much she was thrilled over keeping house all by herself. She is also fond of oil painting and tennis and in addition to this she is a seamstress of no mean ability. Knowing these things, it is useless to prophesy the direc¬ tion in which Margaret’s talents will carry her. ,.,1 .

Anna Belle “Hit”—Who? Why, Ed! But she did it only in that delicate way in which so demure a lassie could. One knows immediately that she comes from the state that boasts the prettiest and wittiest girls of all. Yes, she’s from Kentucky. Now if one were inclined to grow philosophical, he might wonder why these names were bestowed upon her: Anna—a name that turns one’s mind back to t he “prophetess of old”; Belle—a word closely connected with beauty in many Ian- guages. But when you know Anna Belle, you realize how completely these names belong to her. Last fall, many were asking the name of the Freshman who seemed to know everyone. Soon this Freshman appeared in a red sweater. Then we found out that Anna Belle had already spent two years at E. C. but went to the University of Louisville for her Junior year where she was also enrolled in the Louisville Conservatory of Music. That explains her Epsilon Omega pin. To say we are glad she came back is expressing it mildly for everyone loves Anna Belle.

The Jordan family will be long remembered by all who saw the Thespians stage “Icebound”; and no small part of the credit is due to Lot¬ tie’s interpretation of Mrs. Henry Jordan. Al¬ though she was the only Senior in the cast, we felt that the class honor was upheld nobly by our one representative. Lottie is one of those quiet, composed indi¬ viduals whom everyone relies on. We didn’t know how much she really meant to us until she had to spend several weeks at the hospital. Lottie does love to talk and when it was left for us to “carry on”, we missed the support that her ready tongue always gave us over the diffi¬ cult places. She has done only part of her work at E. C. but she has certainly left a trail of “A’s behind her. She has already had some successful teach¬ ing experience and expects to continue her pro¬ fession after graduation.

One could almost write a book about Carl and his activities at E. C. although it is quite interesting to note that there has been a decided lull in them the past year. Strange, isn ' t it, for a Senior to lose interest? Well, therein lies a mystery, but not so very hard to unravel since you will find at the core of it a diamond ring. You’d never guess it but Carl does love to eat and it has even been said that his heart was once wrapped up in a coffee cake. H is ambition is carrying him on to Boston and preparation for some kind of religious work next year. Good luck! Here’s hoping you ' ll put as much sincerity and ginger into it as you have shown yourself capable of at old E. C.

One always feels that Bertha can be depended upon to keep the wheels run¬ ning smoothly. For that reason and because everyone loves her, the girls elected her to the position of highest trust in the college—Presi¬ dent of the Women’s Council. She is one of our busy people but she always seems to have time to help, encourage, and in¬ spire any girl who needs her assistance. In ad¬ dition to this, Bertha serves as a sort of gen¬ eral information bureau where we know our difficulties can be straightened out thoroughly and satisfactorily. She practices conservatism in all things, even on the hair question, and is, therefore, fully qualified to draw the reins a bit tighter when the radical tendencies of our con¬ stitutions tend to crop out and carry us into pro¬ jects unreasonable. i 1 1I I n iTTTTT “ mm History English Evansville. “Whatever anyone does or says, I must be good.” Philo; Chorus ’24-’25; Y. M. C. A. We, as a class, shall never forget Kelly’s smile which he so generously distributes to all. He is a firm believer in having a good time and in making everyone else have one too. But surely he must have studied some time, because he fin- ished his course in three years and he always has a way of convincing the profs that he knows far more than he cares to tell. His permanent is the envy of every girl in school and it is, in addition, quite an authentic barometer not only of the weather but of the inner man. You’ll never forget it if you catch a glimpse of it someday when Kelly is doing Philosophy. His other great attraction is a tenor voice that has delighted us so many times; he not only took part in “Cherry Blossom”, in the Chapel Choir, and Chorus, but was always willing to use it, especially in the library! He wants to be a his¬ tory professor. What a shame! Mathematics Histoxy Grandview, Indiana. “A noble man ordained and broadly planned.” Kirk hasn ' t been with us the past year for he is following the advice of the old schoolmaster in Dickens who believed in immediate and prac¬ tical correlation of theory and practice. Yet we know enough of him to feel that we may proud¬ ly boast of Kirk as one of our class ' most out¬ standing young men. He will be remembered as a real gentleman and an earnest student. He possesses a most agreeable personality and has made a host of friends while at E. C. where he has been preparing for his chosen profession of teaching. He has already won distinction in his profes¬ sion and we as a class are glad to know that he has been a decided success as a High School Mathematics teacher. Whatever the future may bring, we feel sure that the years must bring only success to the fellow-student such as he has been. You simply cannot keep a good man down. 71. o 47 FRANKLIN McDANIEL RUTH LENORE MELCHIOR History Philosophy Markleville, Indiana. “Diversity, that is my motto.” Photo: Parliamentarian ’25, Chaplain 25; Y.

Everyone thought that Franklin was going to get through college heart-whole, but in his Se¬ nior year, along came a most attractive “Freshie” to whom he lost his heart completely. We some¬ how fear for the “Freshie” because Franklin has such a good reputation as a debater and has been known to argue one out of even his pet theory. H e was a member of our first inter-collegiate debate squad against Oakland City in ' 24. The following year saw him appearing against a team from Oxford, England, and he deserves no small share of the credit for bringing the honors to Evansville. His part in the debate against Earl- ham should also be mentioned. He was awarded second prise in the Anderson Oratorical Contest in ’24. Next year will see him at the Boston School of Theology where we hope he will continue to be a power on the public platform.

Lenore is the youngest member of our class and holds the splendid record of having com¬ pleted her work in three years. Everyone knows her as the third member of that famous trio whose leisure moments the past year have been spent in discovering the whereabouts of the other two. Her usual greeting is, “Have you seen Bertha?” or “I wonder where Aurelia is!” She is naturally timid and but few have be¬ come well acquainted with her. These few, how¬ ever, have certainly enjoyed her cheerfulness and giggles. Her work is always so well done that the class breathes a sigh of relief when Lenore is called on for we all know that she can handle the affair satisfactorily. We prophesy real success for her in the teaching field which she expects to enter for surely such industrious habits will carry her safely through any crisis. 48 Electrical Engineering Princeton, Indiana. “Unhappy man! he frets at the narrow limits of the world.” Philo: Secretary ’23, Treasurer ’24; Engineers’ Club: Secretary ’23. Uriah’s home is in Princeton and he is a man whom most of us know as a radio fan—if you don ' t, most of the people at Princeton do, judg ' ing from the many oaths that have been uttered when that “Morris kid” was broadcasting. He has taken an electrical engineering course and certainly has chosen well—the engineers call him the cat’s meow when it comes to electricity. Throughout most of his college life, he has been an enthusiastic member of the Philos and the Engineers’ Club and is always present at meetings as well as at all social affairs. Uriah has a good time when out with a group of fellows but usually is very shy and bashful around the fair sex—that is, unless he knows them quite well. Then his dry wit and humor add much to the life of the crowd. He is for ' tunate in the possession of a determined nature that will surely lead to success in life and in his particular field.

We must add that she is the pianist of the class, although, if you ask her, she will e m- phatically deny it. May lives up to the training of her Home Ec course in that she never goes over the exact portion of calories allotted by dietetic statistics to a girl of her age, height, and weight. She proved the value of her course by the success ' ful management of our Senior tea. Unassuming manner and modesty, for May, do not go to the extent of curtailing the asser ' tion of her rights. She is equal in that re ' spect to such people as our “Mac”.

Irene s name and fame will surely ring through the corridors of E. C. for many a day; for to her goes the honor of coaching a girls’ basketball team that, now in its second season, has never been defeated. Besides, she has con¬ ducted the girls’ gym classes and carried her share of scholastic difficulties. One can say so much about Irene and yet not do her justice. She is one of the peppiest girls at E. C. and has loyally supported all of our ac¬ tivities. She is energy personified and that is cou¬ pled with a great ambition; so we feel that Irene must surely he one of the successes of our class.

Lawrence hails from Poseyville but that didn ' t seem to be a serious handicap in his college ca¬ reer because wherever a crowd gathered seri¬ ously engaged in the business of having a good time or joyfully pursuing the paths of knowl¬ edge Page was there. And oh, what a voice he had! It seemed to roll forth from some mighty deep and then echo through space with a power second to none. He was a faithful member of the Chapel Choir and vied with the profs when it came to ren¬ dering “A Mighty Fortress!” Ladies’ man? Well, hardly that, but he seems to have a strange fascination for the name “Mary” whether she hails from the far west or our own fair state. One might almost decide that any Mary would do since he entertained lit¬ tle thought of verisimilitude in making his choices. 50 Evansville. English Latin Evansville.

It’s rather difficult to say whether Adis was fortunate in having a brother like Horatio, or whether he was fortunate in having a sister like Adis. One always feels, somehow, that Adis is true blue. Her school work was never slighted, yet, we know that as a daughter of the pastor of one of our Evansville churches, she must have been called upon for many outside duties. At college her extra-curricular activities were cen¬ tered chiefly in the Y. W. C. A. and Student Volunteers and in both of these organizations she did efficient work. Adis is one of our youngest graduates. She hopes to serve as a missionary as soon as she reaches the necessary age requirement. Mean¬ while, she plans to teach English and Latin and do graduate work soon. It has been an inspira¬ tion to have had with us one whose life work is so carefully and nobly planned. Our best wishes are hers. “Th ere are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” Photo: Treasurer ' 23, Vice-President ' 23, Chaplain ' 23, Secret ary ' 24, Parliamentarian ' 25; Orchestra ’23-’25; President Oxford Club ' 24; President Y.

Horatio entered college as a Freshman, students and faculty alike have de¬ manded much of him because they knew that a piece of work done by Horatio would be thor¬ oughly finished. He is earnest and sincere in all that he does both as a student and as a pastor. Horatio never lacks for something to say in any meeting whether that meeting be Student Government or Christian Council. He has even been known to suggest courses to faculty mem¬ bers. One would hardly expect a pastor to be so fond of bright colors but Horatio is quite mod¬ ern even in that respect. He is especially fond of red whether it comes in the form of a Senior sweater or a pretty girl’s hair. a c- T )J , 51 English History Evansville. “The secret consciousness of duty well per ' formed, the public voice that honors virtue and rewards it; all these are yours.

Everyone remem¬ bers Helen as that sweet, unassuming Miss who can find anything you want in the library from a treatise on the fourth dimension to the num¬ ber of workmen who built the great pyramid of Cheop s. One wonders how Helen ever finds time to study but really she thinks no more of making fifteen hours “A” than the average mortal does when he makes a “C” in lit. But the greatest tribute we can pay Helen is an appreciation of the fact that in all the trials which come to the editor of an annual, she was able to hold her poise, her self-possession, and even her good humor. The staff appreciated her cooperation in everything, whether that meant broom, mop, dust cloth, or typewriter.

Many of us had never really learned to know Arnold until this last year. He has alternated his college work with actual teaching experi¬ ence and so never really became closely con¬ nected with any one class or group. He came to E. C. from Central Normal, but has done most of his work with us. His teaching ex¬ perience has been varied and interesting; for he has handled everything from the one-room country school to Mathematics and English in the High School. In spite of the fact that he has missed some years in college, he has taken active part in vari¬ ous activities. He was on the Varsity Basket¬ ball squad of ’24 and, no doubt, would have made a name for himself had he not missed the next year. We predict a successful teaching career for Arnold for he is the type of fellow who puts the best of himself into whatever he undertakes. o 52 TTimnj Political Science Philosophy Tientsin, China. “Such fire was not by water to be drowned, Nor he his nature changed by changing ground.” “Sammy” came to us from far-off China and his winning smile and thoughtful courtesy will make the land of wonder and delight always dearer to us. He was born in Tientsin, China, and was educated in the Methodist Mission school there. He is also a graduate of Nankai College. In his earlier college days he took a prominent part in the political affairs of his na¬ tive country, especially in the student move¬ ment against the Japs. He entered Evansville College in April, 1924 and, although working under a handicap so far as language is concerned, he has proved him¬ self an excellent student. He has been primar¬ ily interested in Political Science. The rapidity with which he mastered our language and the ease with which he adapted himself to our ways of doing things assured him a high standing at E. C. We are expecting great things from Sam my and really look forward to the time when we may visit him in his capacity of President of the Chinese Republic. We hope that his stay with us has been pleasant and that he will always keep a corner in his heart for E. C. and us.

Perry holds the unique record in the engi¬ neering department of having completed the regular five years’ course in a little over four years. But even that wasn’t thrilling enough for him. He went so far as to choose Thanksgiving day as an appropriate occasion for walking up the aisle with one of the most popular teachers in the Evansville schools. The couple left im¬ mediately for Pennsylvania where Perry had ac¬ cepted a splendid position. During his college course, he was a structural steel designer at the International Steel and Iron Company; and he, also, served as assistant in¬ structor of mechanical drawing at the college. We have missed Perry this year and we shall never forget what an excellent record he made in any Liberal Arts course he attempted. We have missed, too, that splendid tenor that used to float back from the Senior section. We trust that Mabel will always appreciate him as we have. 53 — i Civil Engineering Hanson, Kentucky. “He briskly and cheerfully asks how to waste time.” Philo; Engineers’ Club: Secretary ’24-’ 2 5; Football ’23. Have you seen a pipe with a soft felt hat above it wandering across the campus from Schmidt’s? That was Taylor. He’s a Ken- tuckian and Alice is a Pennsylvanian and argm ments certainly wax hot and heavy when oc- casionally they chance to meet. Of course, it was Kentucky that bestowed that adorable accent and that careless good nature that everyone likes so well. Get him to tell you about Hanson, the town where he takes up the board walk every morning for kindling so that the City (?) Council is compelled to lay a new one which always meets the same fate on the following day. Taylor used to be the life of every Philo meet ' ing and Engineers’ party. That was before he got that serious, married ' irian look—you know how ’tis! But such is the way of the world, so here’s hoping the future means good luck and Alice, too. Evansville. General Science English “I grant I am a woman; but withal a woman welbreputed.” Student Volunteer. Katherine is one of our pre ' inedic students. She came into our class after three years at the Trevecca Theological School and Junior Cob lege at Nashville, Tennessee. It hasn’t taken us long to get acquainted with her for her ready smile and optimistic attitude won her many friends in a short time. Our class has a rather large percentage of stu- dents entering religious work and in that list we are proud to enter Katherine. Her graduate work will include attendance at the University of Illinois, School of Medicine, and at some Canadian school. This will insure her good standing in British territory since she hopes to practice in South Africa. She has tackled problems at E. C. with such a persistence and determination that already we have visions of the great service she is going to render those less fortunate than we. 54 Mill lltlt Mechanical Engineering Newburgh, Indiana. “It is a great plague to be too handsome a man.” Philo: Chaplain ’23, Critic ’26; Business Ad ' ministration Club; Engineers’ Club; President Student Court ’25-’26; Seal Committee. Have you seen that handsome Senior from Newburgh? Well, somehow, we all have .a higher respect for Newburgh since knowing Fletcher of whom it can truly be said, “He was a gentleman.” He is another product of the Engineering branch of our school, but he cer- tainly has not limited his activities to that de ' partment. We know that he is extremely popu ' lar with the Castalians and sometimes even ap ' pears with one of them in public. As part of his co-operative training, he has worked as tool-grinder at the Hercules, but dur¬ ing the past year he has done full time work at the college and carried chemistry as a side line. He has taken part in many school activities, but we appreciate most of all his energy in disposing of athletic tickets and his work as chairman of the Senior social committee.

Quite a familiar expression around E. C. is “Let George do it.” And that very fact tells more about George than volumes could. He is one of the busiest men of the college but he can always be relied on for his share of any activity that presents itself. He has been the very efficient president of our Senior class, guid¬ ing us all the way from red sweaters in all the glory of their Chinese blue emblems to caps and gowns. Of course, his chief interest in the class is a certain pretty little blue-eyed girl who, like some of the rest of us, certainly couldn ' t do without George. 55 0 TTTi vrmn ___ Ullililllll FAY SPARROW ZOPF OSCAR ZOPF LULL TTTTTTTTTT English History Economics Philosophy Evansville.

Fay’s Senior year was inaugurated to the tune of wedding bells and we have never quite for ' given Wilmar for appropriating her so com¬ pletely. Fay majored in English and it is said that in reading about romances in other lands, she fell in love with romance itself and inch dentally, of course, with Wilmar, too. At any rate, she supplied us with a College Romance that thrilled us for many days. Everyone likes Fay. Her patience and sym¬ pathy with those who must talk in the library were boundless unless it happened to be Wilmar who was guilty. Oh, how the echoes of our be- loved little bell would reverberate then! So far Wilmar has obeyed promptly and graciously. We trust he always will. As for the rest of us, knowing Fay as we do, we believe that it must be a grand and glorious feeling” to have cap- tured such a girl. “Since life fleets, all is change; the past gone, seize today.” Business Administration Club: President ’25, Chairman Board of Trustees; Debating Team; Honor Court; Y.

And the significant point about it is that he never seems to miss his goal, he always seems to succeed. His first quarter’s work was at D Pauw, but Evansville and E. C. looked good to him and now he holds the splendid record of having been graduated in a little over two years’ time. In addition, he has successfully handled the posh tion of financial secretary of the college. This, we feel, was made possible by his untiring ef ' forts and an ever-present spirit of optimism. He is never down-hearted, however difficult the task, however much has gone wrong. There is always success looming ahead. In the future, he intends to continue his col¬ lege education at Harvard and then take up the bonding game. His prime motive in business is SERVICE”. C U r cr VJ 2-, 56 (ClaHB History In September 1922 numerous recently-graduated-from-high-school, rather awed people reg¬ istered as Freshmen at E. C. This was the first fall quarter group to register in the new build¬ ing on Lincoln Avenue so that we have the distinction of being the first graduating class to have done all of our work on the campus. Sixteen of this number valiantly, in the face of great difficulties, stayed on through their Senior year. After a considerable bit of cogitation we elected John Dunville as our first president. In due order, the night of the faculty reception, which was held that year at Sweetser Hall, both Frosh and Sophs were given hair cuts of the prevalent fashion and the porch of Sweetser was decorated with the sacrificial locks of our new president. Several Freshman girls, also martyrs in the worthy cause, wore green F ' s proudly on their cheeks. But the green soon wore off, externally and mentally, and after the class rush the Sophomores declared peace and very graciously accepted our invitation to a party in the gym. In December we were the unsuspecting victims of intelligence tests. Modesty forbids us to mention the results. The new year was celebrated by the first marriage in our class when Mary and Cubby de¬ cided to try things together. In May our talent was displayed to be marvelled at by upper classmen when we presented a composite program of songs and jazz together with a one-act play. Oh, ye immortal players! Louise Kroening, supposed to be in a dead faint, sat up to pull down her dress and get artis¬ tically set and then fainted again. Then one day in Oral English Dean Franklin lectured us on the evils of such childish af¬ fairs as hayrides and set forth the various social graces to be derived from formal affairs. Imme¬ diately we began to save our pennies for a banquet at the Chamber of Commerce. The girls refurnished their wardrobes and the boys, as one of them aptly put it, wore tuxedos if they had them and if they didn ' t have them, thanked God and went anyway! In our Sophomore year Forest Kelp was unanimously elected president and commander- in-chief of our army in anticipated hostilities, but he had to leave school because of illness, and though we fought valiantly, Frosh numbers overpowered our superior mental ability and we were forced to cede the victory to them. The first social event on our calendar was a party for the football men. Next came the kid party at the gym when the Freshmen entertained us. At this party we lost much of our Sophomore dignity under the influence of the childishness of our hosts. The long held suspicion that Thelma and Slim were using his name together was confirmed and another of us entered the ranks of the married. This particular activity seemed to be con¬ fined to the ladies of our class. In June we ended our social year with a semi-formal dinner at the Shrine Mosque. (Same tuxedos made their second appearance.) In this year four of our number entered as Freshmen and by attending summer school at¬ tained the proud honor of being Seniors with us. These unusual students are Aurelia Bissmaier, Milton Kelly, Jesse R. Boren and Irene Nolen. In our Junior year Mr. Sha joined our ranks coming from Nankai University, Tientsin, China. The first social event on our calendar was a Valentine party in the Administration Hall. We were late in getting started but it was a real party. Of course, the big event of this year was our Junior-Senior banquet at the McCurdy. We advanced our social standing a little this time. George Wright and Franklin McDaniel wore full dress! However, some of us stayed broke quite awhile. Several students from other schools, Emma Goldsmith, Mary Clements, and Margaret Burk- ert, joined us in our Senior year. Of course, the first thing of importance was the election of officers. George Wright was re-elected president. Closely following this meeting another was held in which a heated argu¬ ment occurred concerning Senior dress After still more heated discussion scarlet and Chinese blue were decided upon as the color of our sweaters. The first event of this year on our social calendar was the party at the Log Cabin room of the Y. M. Horatio Robbins, original as usual, was the only one who came undated and gave further proof of his originality by the perpetration of a few witty remarks. We could not go through four years without some disaster. The advent of Horatio’s acci¬ dent and Lottie ' s rush to the hospital came to disturb the serenity with which events had been moving. The rest of our year was spent in wondering how it would feel to be graduated, how we would look in caps and gowns, and what kind of dinner the Juniors would give in our honor.

When he asks the reason why, he at once meets with the explanation, “We have student government and the students see that this condition prevails.” Few colleges, indeed, have a better developed system or a larger autonomy in all local affairs. Here, in brief, is the plan in operation. The decorum committee is given the task of enforcing the association’s rules and regulations in regard to conduct. In cases of the violation of these rules, the offender is brought before the Student Court. Certain student enterprises fall within the proper sphere of the association’s work. It has charge of the Crescent, the annual publication of the LinC, and the Student’s Handbook with all its valuable information to the new student. It ad¬ ministers the hospital and relief work, promotes the athletics of Evansville College, sees to the development of Freshmen into full-fledged college students through its Induction Day with the inevitable class scrap in the afternoon. The association also fostered a movement which brought the faculty and students into closer contact through a series of conferences, the first attempt of this kind ever made by higher institutions of learning.

C. The rest room, which was furnished by the Women’s College Club, is under the care of the Women’s Council. Each girl is held personally responsible for its care. In October an informal dinner was given in honor of Dean Lucy J. Franklin, the organiser of the Council. During the winter quarter a series of teas was spon¬ sored by the Women’s Council, the teas being supervised by the Senior, Junior and Sophomore girls, respectively.

Besides this, it ai ded in the student get-together garden party at the beginning of the year. The greatest accomplishment this year was the bringing of Dr. A. J. “Dad’ ' Elliott here for a three-day series of lectures on subjects vitally related to student welfare. The weekly devotional meetings were quite successful and not without their ef¬ fect on the student body. The meeting during the winter quarter provided a defi¬ nite program in which various speakers presented the desirable and undesirable qual¬ ities of their respective professions. The aim and practice of the organisation is to challenge the men of the college to a Christian life and this purpose has been well carried out during the year. FACULTY ADVISORS Dr. A. J.

He is ready and willing to go to any country, wheresoever God shall lead him. A welbknown Christian leader said recently that the foreign missionary enter ' prise might be called the most characteristic expression of Christianity, because it implies the universality of Christ in response to universal human need. The StU ' dent Volunteer movement is endeavoring to further this Christianity. The Student Volunteers on the campus unite as a vocational group, a group whose aim is to promote among its members fellowship, prayer, a better knowledge of Christianity and world needs, and mutual strengthening of purpose.

Robert Smith DEBATING TEAMS MEMBERS Dorothy Welborn Margaret E. Miller Emmanuel Baugh Miss Hilda M. Minder, Coach A college is largely known by the kind of debating teams it produces. Judging from this statement, Evansville College should be well known, for during the past year its debating teams have participated in three important contests. The first one of these was a dual debate with Oakland City College on March 12. On the twenty ' second of the same month they took on the formidable Wyoming University De ' baters. Later in the year they met with the Pittsburgh University squad. Both of these university teams are ambitious and outstanding in forensic work and have an enviable record behind them. The subject of all the debates was—Resolved that the Child Labor Amendment to the Federal Constitution Should Be Adopted. The open forum method by which the audience participates and renders the decision was used in all the debates. This method is now becoming universal and is used instead of the older practice of having selected judges give the decision. Two of the members of the squad, Anson Kerr and Mark Lockwood, were on the varsity team last year; another member, James Morlock, has had experience in literary societies, while the remaining four members, Dorothy Welborn, Margaret E. Miller, Emmanuel Baugh, and J. Robert Smith, all Freshmen, have participated in high school debates. Much of the success of the teams, however, has been due to Miss Hilda Minder, the very able coach who came to the college from Ohio Wesleyan University, where she specialised in debating and dramatics.

Its aim is to de¬ velop an “esprit de corps” in the department, to promote a high standard of scholarship, and to establish friendly relations with the business men of the city who are invited to address the club from time to time. The outstanding activities of the year were the annual Managers’ banquet held in Novem¬ ber, and a debate staged before a joint meeting of the Evansville Association of Credit Men and Merchants’ Retail Association.

It was reorganised in January, 1926. The object of this society is to stimulate individual research in the various phases of the field of medicine and to provide opportunity at its weekly meetings for the presentation of findings ac¬ quired through such research. Thus the entire membership derives a specific, in¬ formative, and practical benefit from the study of each member, as well as individual experience in method of research and presentation of reports. In addition to reports of individual research by members, a lecture is given occasionally by some member of the medical profession, thereby bringing the pre-medic students into closer con¬ tact with the members and problems of the profession.

THE LiNC M ' � ■ E )an5 )ille oosters The Modern IV 126 127 1 E Aa tljp Jlrnplr S n v Inn In reviewing the accomplishment of the athletic board for the year just closed, the faculty, student body and the athletic loving people of Evansville should indeed be thrilled with a feeling of satisfaction. This is the opinion of a “fan” who re¬ clined happily on the sidelines during practically every game, either in football or basketball, throughout the season. To those men who composed the teams it may be truthfully said, “You surely did sell yourselves to the old home town, in a way that has established Evansville College in the hearts of the Evansville people, in a much higher degree than ever before.” What a feeling of satisfaction and happiness permeated the atmosphere in and around the Agoga Temple on the nights of the two Wabash games and again when the proud bunch from De Pauw was overcome by the perfect team work of the Pur¬ ple and White!—Everybody just seemed to walk on his toes. I saw a lot of men, whom it was hard to conceive as basketball patrons, clapping their hands and embrac¬ ing each other with a feeling that would surely make you smile, and a lot of such as these too were among the first “ticket takers” every time the doors opened for one of these games. The hard fighting “Pioneers” certainly have changed things and to Coach Har¬ mon and his aggregation of athletes goes the credit of elevating the “Crescent City” to her proper altitude in the athletic world. That the people of Evansville truly appreciated your efforts, was proven by a large increase in attendance at the games over former years and I predict that the wearers of the “E” will surely “stand them in line” in 1926 and 1927. “A FAN”. THE LINC 128 COACH JOHN M. HARMON In the three years that Coach Harmon has been with us he has made almost unbelievable strides in athletics. Prior to his coming Evansville College had never had a football team; last season our third football squad made a record that any school might be proud to claim and prospects for the future are in keeping with the progress of the past. Coach Harmon has turned out basketball teams that have ranked with the best. His team this year made the entire state sit up and look ’em over and some of the country’s best fell before the Pioneers of E. C. His baseball teams, too, have made a good showing and next year he will have a first-class track team in the running. Through his remarkable work athletics have been put on a sound basis. A cin¬ der track and a gridiron have been built on the campus, much equipment has been bought, and still the athletic treasury is in better condition than ever before. The immediate program for the future includes the building of a stadium and a fence around the athletic field. Great achievements, all of these, yet not his most notable. Coach Harmon has taught his men to play the game square, to fight hard at all times, and to show sportsmanship in the highest sense of the word. Never has a team representing Evansville College been guilty of a questionable act; the high standards of the Col¬ lege have been upheld by her athletes.

Evansville had a little edge over Louisville in the first half and threatened to score in the third quarter when “Tails” missed a place kick by inches. In the third quarter the Purple was weakened by injuries and lack of reserve strength began to show. But E. C. held and at the end of the third quarter the score was still 0 ' 0. In the final quarter U. of L., strengthened by some fresh men, made three touchdowns on the weakened Evansville team, winning the game 20-0. Louisville had a good team but no better than E. C., and reserve strength decided the game. The Monday following the game Coach Harmon made a talk in chapel emphasizing our need of men. The men responded, the squad was materially strength ' ened, and results were manifest in the following games. 131 Hl l H I IBMriM EiBlMMHB In their first home game of the season the Pioneers completely outclassed Bethel and won 59-0. Coach Harmon ran three teams on the field, the first time in history that this was pos- sible. Twenty-three men were used in the game and they all performed in great style. Wager gained the distinction of being the first E. C. man to score during the season when he made two touchdowns from blocked punts. Southern made almost as much ground as the entire Bethel team. Garrett also performed in great style—certainly, it was his birthday and a young lady from Mt. Carmel was watching him from the grandstand! It was an ideal day for foot¬ ball, practically the only game of the season on a fast field, and the Pioneers did their stuff. At the last minute Merom College cancelled its game and Coach Harmon was una,ble to find a substitute. Coach Harmon, Captain Roth, Bakewell, Feigel and Wager went to Purdue to get the dope on Rose Poly. They got it. For the second time in as many years the Purple defeated Rose Poly by a six-point margin. The game was played at Rose in a sea of mud. The lone touchdown was made when T. Rea recovered a fumbled punt and ran twenty-five yards for the counter. “T and John Dun- ville, at ends, looked like a pair of all-Americans that day, and Bakewell and Roth shared in the good work. Dunville, the plucky little end, played the last half without shoes after his leg was injured in the first half. Coach Harmon showed a bit of strategy by putting his punters into the game one at a time in order to keep a kicker with clean shoes in the game. Our line showed its mettle when, aided by a few penalties, Rose Poly brought the ball to the three-yard line. Here the line held and it was this fighting spirit that brought the victory to E. C. This was the first E. C. grid victory on a foreign field and the team brought home victory, ball, mud, and all. More history, if you please. THE LINC . 132 :oii!i iii ioiaiia !Tmi]OEiCT«5ffioi! E i Kgiifeairasu! Then came the event of the year—Homecoming. It was the first Homecoming of Evans- ville College and was a great success from every viewpoint. There was a big celebration all day crowned by a football victory over Hanover; score 6-0. The game was played on the muddiest field of the year, but the boys did not mind the mud; every man played well and the team deserved the victory. For the only touchdown of the game E. C. got the ball in mid-field and began a march of line plays and end runs coupled with two completed forward passes which placed the ball on the five-yard line, from where “Bake” plunged over. “Cowboy” Lang and Wager performed to perfection and together they opened the holes through which most of our ground was gained. Johnny Feigel at end also did great work and threw play after play for a loss. Hanover could not penetrate the superior Evansville line and resorted almost entirely to an aerial attack. The visitors threatened to score in the second quarter and as the half ended the ball was on the Evansville three-yard line, but in the second half their passes were not so effective and the Purple goal was never in danger. Eastern Illinois Normal invited the Pioneers to battle in its Homecoming tilt at Charles¬ ton on November 7. Previous to this game the Normalites boasted that they had never lost a Homecoming game and had not lost a game on their home field for four years. Such was the competition that the Purple encountered, but playing their best game of the year, Coach Harmon’s warriors did what other teams had been trying for years to do. To Southern goes the honor of making both touchdowns, the second by one of his characteristic swan dives. To Bakewell goes the credit for placing the ball in scoring territory; he blocked a punt prior to the first touchdown and recovered a Normal fumble to pave the way for the second. Gar¬ rett did some excellent punting and deserves much credit for keeping the Pioneer goal out 133 JMr-H Mgj of danger. Volderauer did some unusually good line plunging and toward the end of the game he carried a big part of the burden of the backfield. As the game ended he was having a march down the field in true “five-yard” McCarthy fashion. Willis played his usual good mud game and again took the honors for getting more mud on him than was left on the field. Sweet revenge was our dish when Oakland City college came to the Crescent City. The Pioneers jumped on the Oaks with the whistle and soon had such a lead that the result was never in doubt. The second string men played most of the game and had things their way at almost all times. The Oakland City touchdown was made when Blackburn recovered a fum¬ ble under the shadow of his own goal posts and raced the entire length of the field. It was the first score made against the Purple since the opening game of the season. The game was hard fought and injuries were numerous; the star punter, Garrett, broke his leg and was out of the game the rest of the year. It was the fifth straight win for Evansville, which was no small feat against such strong teams. In the final game of the season the Purple was downed by Bowling Green Normal, 14-6. The teams played most of the game on even ground and Bowling Green fans declared it to be the most thrilling game ever played there. The Pioneers fought fiercely and courageously; they scored their touchdown just a few minutes before the close of the game and as the final whistle blew were threatening to score another. Bowling Green won the victory, that was all; our boys were very much in the game until the end. Thus came to a close the most successful grid season in the history of Evansville College. 134 HlIHlBIIHHlHHIliaHIHgM 135 HaiHBBtlHIBIHEIBB 136 “Dutch” led the Pioneers through their most successful grid season. He has played every minute of every game for the last three years—ever since Evansville College has had a football team, and the big fellow made the right tackle territory almost impenetrable. CLARENCE SOUTHERN—Captain-elect “Chuck” was our half-back deluxe. Fast and brainy with plenty of grit, he combined those qualities which make really good football players. After making a letter at Ohio State, Clar¬ ence had a reputation to live up to, but he surpassed all expectations. His teammates showed their high esteem for him when they elected him to lead the team next year. This is the highest tribute a football player can receive, for it is the team who knows the real value of every man. TOM REA—End “Tarzan” was the big fellow who stopped end plays, grabbed passes, and downed the punt receiver in his tracks. “T” featured in E. C. history when, against Rose Poly, he recovered a fumbled punt and raced for a touchdown which won the first grid game for the Purple on a foreign field. The mud-covered pigskin is preserved as a trophy and is the pride of President Hughes. JOHN FEIGEL—End Johnny was the other boy who made Evansville’s reputation for powerful ends. Always on his toes and with plenty of fight, he has done his share for two years in making strong grid teams representing Evansville College. Johnny is always esteemed for his pluck and sportsman¬ ship. JOHN WAGER—Tackle Wager has a football body, a football head, and a football heart. He was fast and shifty, yet powerful, and was in a class my himself at opening holes in the opposing line. John blocked punts, recovered fumbles, and was responsible for many E. C. touchdowns. In all, he is a line¬ man hard to beat. FRANK LANG—Guard “Cowboy” played next to Wager in the line and together they formed a charging combina¬ tion that was never stopped. The backs knew that behind Lang and Wager they were sure to make a good gain, and this was a big factor in the success of the team. On defensive play, too, Lang was a terror, and “Watch number 10” was the cry of many opponents. THE EINC Si 137 138 rjinaiaiHiiHiiHfagg CHARLES WILLIS Hail to the 15? pound tornado! Charlie went over, under, any way to get through the line. He played against powerful men, he played with injuries, he played in the face of all sorts of odds—but he always played, fought hard, and made his 155 pounds worth as much to the team as 250 pounds of ordinary man. ARTHUR EASTWOOD—Center “Huck ' was a bulwark of strength and was in every play. He knew his position, was a good passer, and was always alert, the qualities necessary to a good center. On the defense, playing in the line or backing it up, he stopped everything that came his way—and much that did not. WALLACE KERN—Center Kern entered college late this fall and was at a disadvantage as far as football is concerned. However, he proved his worth, earned his letter in the last half of the season after getting a late start, and before the end of the season was playing the center position regularly. Wallace is big but young and that is the kind that develops. Watch him! RALPH REA—Quarterback “Tails” calls the play, the team lines up, and the avalanche starts. The team had faith in “Tails ' ” ability as a field general. Cooperation, that was one of the secrets of the success of the Pioneers this season. “Tails” was also a good ball carrier and worked well as a running mate for the “formidable Southern.” RUSSELL GARRETT—Halfback “Russ” was of immeasurable value to the team because of punting ability. He was also a good line-plunger and a good defensive man. “Russ” broke his leg in the Oakland City game and was sorely missed the rest of the season, but he recovered in a few weeks and should be one of the mainstays again next year. JOHN VOLDERAUER—Halfback John was a good line-plunger and the best interference runner on the team. His playing was not spectacular but he was always reliable and only the coach and his teammates know his real worth to the team. He is another whose sportsmanship and clean playing are outstanding. ERNEST BAKEWELL—Fullback a. An ideal fullback is one that can make a couple of yards every time he is needed. That is Bakewell. He scored more points than any one else on the team because he had the drive to put the ball over the goal. “Bake” was often shifted to tackle on the defense. To play of¬ fensive fullback and defensive tackle takes a real man—Bakewell did it and did it well. m m m m 0 £2 m ns THE LINC BIEimiHBHa Moating if mum The foregoing are the men who were awarded letters at the close of the season for their good work. They are the ones whose praises are sung after every game, who are congratu- lated after every victory. Yet it takes a bigger man to come out for practice every day and receive no share of the praise, to play on the second team so that the regulars may have some¬ thing on which to practice, and to sit on the sidelines every game ready to give his best in case needed. Sacrificing for the good of the team is the lot of the subs. The athletic board requires a man to play in a majority of the games in order to receive a letter so there were many valuable and deserving men who did not get letters but were given honorable mention. John Dunville, Robert Davis, Richard Denbo, Jennings Carey, and Willis Reinke were the men to receive honorable mention. Special honorable mention was given to Dunville who was the winner of the Kiwanis medal for being chosen by the Kiwanis committee as the most valuable man on the team.

Teams of the very highest caliber were brought here, met by a team of Freshmen and Sophomores, and most of them were defeated by the “E. C. infant five,” the child prodigy of Indiana basketball. Coach Harmon must again be congratulated for a remarkable achievement. His basket- ball teams have taken a place among the best. At most of the games the big tabernacle was packed, such was the eagerness with which the team was backed. Our record was little short of remarkable. Expectations of everyone were far surpassed. The team was composed almost entirely of Freshmen and Sophomores, which means that greater things can be expected next year. The game which was to have been played with the University of Louisville was cancelled because of a broken contract. i 1 i i i m m m Our Record Where Played Evansville. .44 DePauw ... .24 Evansville Evansville.... .39 Vanderbilt .22 Evansville Evansville. .32 Wabash ... .31 Evansville Evansville_ .34 Wabash ... .28 Evansville Evansville. .30 DePauw ... .43- Greencastle Evansville.... .24 St. Louis University. .33 St. Louis Evansville_ ...49 University of Louisville. .21 Evansville Evansville. ...22 Hanover .13 Evansville Evansville.. .34 Franklin ... .52 Evansville Evansville. .34 St. Louis University__ .28 Evansville Evansville_ ..25 Hanover .17 Madison Evansville. University of Louisville. Louisville THE EINC 141 BlBIBBlBHCim 142 Evansville 44; DePauw 24 The Pioneers opened the season with DePauw, one of the strongest teams in the state. DePauw had been stepping at a fast pace and its season was well under way, so very few saw anything but defeat in store for the Purple. However, Evansville teams do not always play ac- cording to dope, especially if the dope is against them, and DePauw received a thorough defeat with the score 44 to 24. S3 S S I 143 Evansville 39; Vanderbilt 22 Vanderbilt, one of the best teams in the south, was next to invade our camp. The south ' erners played a good game but were no match for Harmon’s machine and the best they could do was to get the short end of a 39 to 22 score. Evansville 32, 34; Wabash 31, 28 Next came the famous Wabash team, the state champions. State champions or no state champions, the “Little Giants” met defeat at Evansville twice in as many days. Enthusiasm at E. C. was running high as we hung up our fourth straight victory. DePauw 43; Evansville 30 Our first defeat came at the hands of DePauw, whom we had so gloriously defeated the first game of the season. The Tigers played a wonderful game and clearly outplayed the Aces who did not perform up to their standard. It was a good game, especially from the point of view of the DePauw students. St. Louis University 3 3; Evansville 24 It was a long way to St. Louis and it was a rough road after we got there. The Purple fought from behind all the way, always threatening, but were never able to overcome the lead which St. Louis got early in the game. St. Louis had a team of veterans, all over six feet tall, which had defeated some mighty good teams, Butler being among its victims. We met them again later in the season for which we are very thankful. Evansville 49; University of Louisville 21 Smarting under two successive defeats the Pioneers came back strong and beat Louisville by a topheavy score. The offense worked to perfection and little defense was needed. The second string men were used a big part of the game and it was clearly demonstrated that the Pioneers did not lack reserve strength as had often been said. i k 2L v 1 1 A V i I B A L W 144 Evansville 22; Hanover 13 The Hanover “Red Devils brought to Evansville something very seldom seen—a wonder ' ful defense but a weak offense. The Purple could not amass its usual number of scores but were able to hold Hanover to a great many less. The game was not very fast or flashy but it was a good game and we won. Evansville 34; Franklin 52 Franklin brought to Evansville the smoothest working team ever seen in the Crescent City. The score gives no idea of the game. It was a battle from the start; at one time in the second half the Pioneers came within four points of tying the score, and it was not until the last few minutes that the Baptists forged so far ahead. Evansville 34; St. Louis University 28 Just as the good die young, our home schedule came to an early end. In the final game we defeated the great St. Louis quintet, which had defeated us earlier in the season, and had lost but one game, that one to Iowa. It was a fitting close to the season and many fans and critics said that in this game the Purple was at its best. At least it was a great game, played by two great teams, the greater team getting the greater score. Evansville 25; Hanover 17 In the final game of the season the Purple triumphed over the Hanover Red Devils for the second time of the season. Hanover put up a good game, fighting from behind all the way, but with Evansville showing its usual good form the outcome was bound to be in her favor. The coach did not accompany the team on the trip but the boys performed in excellent style just the same. Due to the bad roads, referee Horne failed to arrive for the game and the officiating was done by Coach Hall of the Hanover team. Hall gave a fair deal to both teams and we wish to again congratulate him on his good work. 145 fare Ter 7 i; m -m ‘T ZWz rfes � . . j bp— H er7s c7 (rerx rer THE LINC 146 BlliaBBI IllHBBIBIl tta iHiailiaiHHBIKBrjlllSllBBBBIIBlIiaraBIBBBEIOBeilHBBlia ' a CAPTAIN RALPH REA—Forward “Tails” was a prominent cog in the Purple machine. He is a clever player, quick to size up all plays, and his all around floor work and dribbling is of the best. The Pioneer captain started most of the plays down the floor and filled his place well as a “feeder.” BYRON HARPER—Forward “Bounce” did most of the scoring for the team. He is fast on the offense and has an un¬ canny eye for the basket. During his years with Vincennes High School he was rated one of the best forwards in the state. His high rating in state scoring this year is consistent with his high school record. TOM REA—Center “T” is an all around basketball player. Lie has played center, forward and guard at dif¬ ferent times, and performs well at any of the positions. “T” added a power to both the offense and the defense that would be hard to do without. He established the record this year of play¬ ing every minute of every game. k A DOYLE GARDNER—Forward “Doojie” started the season at floor guard but was shifted to forward about the middle of the season and in this position he performed best. His qualities of speed, fight and ability to hit the basket made him a dangerous man to the opponents at all times. WESLEY ABEL—Guard “Wes” was the bulwark at back guard. He was the boy who usually caught the ball off the backboard and started it on its journey to his own basket. A back guard does not always receive his due credit, but everyone knew that Abel was of immeasurable value to the team. FRANK LANG—Guard “Cowboy” is just a Freshman and is destined to make a great name for himself on the hardwood. The season was well under way before he broke into the limelight but he finished the season in great style, playing regularly at floor guard. Watch him next year! ROY WYTTENBACH—Guard “Witt” has played three years for the Purple and has won a place in the hearts of those who have watched the E. C. basketeers. He has plenty of fight and a team work spirit for which he is greatly admired. JL THE EINC 147 148 (itrla’ fitaskrtbaU Undefeated city champions—the girls’ basketball team labored valiantly to add the unde¬ feated to their last year’s title and they came through seven hard fought games with a clean slate. The team lost two regulars in Klamer and Rold but a wealth of new material came out for the squad. Among the newcomers the diminutive Phillips who played a speedy game at forward, and Schenck who starred as both forward and guard were valuable additions. The first to bow to the E. C. girls were the Shamrocks. In this game the team showed the speed and passwork which characterized its playing throughout the season and emerged at the long end of a 301? score. The next game was played on December 26 with Simpson M. E. and chalked up another victory for E. G. The game with Ecklers on December 31 gave the girls a chance to display some brilliant team work. The Eckler team is known as one of the best in the city and only after a hard battle did the college triumph. On January 22 the team defeated St. Boniface in one of the fastest games of the season, followed this victory by snowing under Swans Down in February. It The final game with Lockyear’s was the most hotly contested of the season. The defense of both teams featured the game, which was a thriller from start to finish. The final score stood at 17 ' 12, giving E. C. girls’ team once more the undisputed championship of the city. IS S3 THE LINC 150 Hioiigiiaigiggg JUANITA HOYT—Captain Hoyt ' s work at guard alone would have made her an inspiration to the team, but in addb tion she showed a spirit and ability as leader which made her invaluable. Hoyt has been with the team only two years but she has already made an enviable record. IRENE NOLEN—Coach This is Nolen ' s last year at E. C. and the college will look long before it finds another coach who can play as well as Irene or a player who is as excellent a coach. The offense of the team for the past season has centered around this brilliant forward. INEZ PHILLIPS—Forward “T” is the speedy little forward from Tennyson who has been such a valuable addition to the team. Phillips in addition to a skill in basket shooting displayed an uncanny ability to lose her guard. ESTHER RIETZ—Forward This veteran player has been outstanding in her basket shooting and floor work this sea ' son. There are few forwards who can out ' jump Rietz. GERTRUDE RELLER—Guard Reller’s passing ability and speed have made her the terror of opposing forwards and a mainstay of the E. C. defense. For pluck and untiring effort we hand it to “Trude.” ALICE LYTLE—Guard Lytle demonstrated her ability at either forward or guard last year, but this season she has formed the third in the impregnable defense of the team. Alice’s fighting spirit has contributed largely to the E. C. victories. IRMA SCHENCK—Guard and Forward At center and as guard, Schenck has done brilliant work. Her basket shooting and floor work have been especially commendable. FLORENCE HOVEY—Forward Hovey plays a fast and elusive game at forward which is hard to beat. Consistent work and an ability to shoot with one hand have made her a big asset to the team during her two years with Evansville. DOROTHY WELBORN—Guard Welborn has served as chief substitute in the guarding end of the game this season. With the experience gained this year she should make a valuable addition to next year’s squad. i , a e B ess fie V fesoMe Aa S rorA Me 7 60 p otre } Me saete s fAA os sAr ' r fo Mr tCfi-o Aeer THE LIN C 152 B) ii oB i iB� i [ i o[oiimi i E i B)i iiia i iraB ii ii. irjiioii ii ii ii iiioiii ii ii iioiioi ii ioiTego Bo 153 B-r-r-r-r-ring! “Coldhamnabottleamilk!” “Bowlachili:” “Make it two.” “Make it four.” “Yah, I get it!” You have already guessed that we are at Schmidt ' s, the lair of that fierce breed of Schmidt hounds who give no quarter and know no regeneration (whisper it, that after Dad Eliot ' s meet ' ings, three preachers and one would ' be reformer were thrown out the window). Schmidt ' s should long since have been moved bodily to the Campus, but since it has not, let us take a peek into some of its inner mysteries. It is divided into two parts, the front room and the back room. In the first are only those timid souls who have not yet learned to savor the rich and racy atmosphere of the second. Even an occasional co ' ed more daring than her sisters penetrates that far. So, we are chiefly interested in this back room where the real collegiate spirits find that climate of cigaret smoke, soup guzzling profanity, and picturesque masculine obscenity, in which it best thrives. Over in one corner is Southern playing his perrenial game of checkers with Denbo, trying to convince him that he can ' t play. Several languid onlookers with socks draped neatly about shoes reared high on tables or walls, complete the pi cture. Suddenly, Dun- ville leaves off his discussion of the Corpus Quadrigemina and takes one side of the game, seem- ing to defeat himself by sacrificing one man after another, only to amaze us by sweeping poor Dick off the board with one grand jump. In the opposite corner is Jarvis, reviewing the latest show at the Victory and wondering what would have happened to the pianist at the Grand if that fellow had dropped that heavy ball. Here is decided the fate of all the movies according to whether they are judged bad, indifferent, or good. Everyone breathes a sigh of relief when a newcomer announces that Harper has made another D in Economic Geography. The team is safe for another week. Here and there other discussions are going on. Lockwood is telling Hudson what he thinks about Philosophy; Krauss is moaning to a bosom friend about a flat tire; Herr Schmidt is proving to Becknell that 13 plus 5 plus 10 equals 28 and not 18. At rare intervals, he may be prevailed upon to sing his favorite air from Carmen in French or more frequently inveigled into some abstruse mathematical computation by some one who is broke. Profs and classes, traditions and virtues are not spared. Serious subjects are taboo among the higher classes of the habitues. It is nearly one o ' clock and we must walk back to the Administration Building (Schmidt slang for college). Should you chance to be present when two Schmidt hounds meet many years hence, you will see them slyly wink, and boast of what gay, young devils they used to be at Schmidt ' s. —J. W.

Why, listen, Dad. It takes an awful flock of money for a Frosh to get by here, especially, if he is a Phi Gam pledge. My Gosh! How long did you say your first 500 bucks lasted? Well, those were the good ol’ days, for my 500 plunks wouldn ' t even raise a fiver now, on demand. You see—the pins cost something, and the dues, and then we were assessed for a new house davenport and pillows and things—Well, it ' s just beyond me. I know I promised to make it go ' till Christmas, or, at least, Thanksgiving, but—And some of the upperclassmen in our house have borrowed from me—and, Dad, when I suggested pay ' ment they made me eat pie offa the floor. I’m a pledge, y ' know. Now I ask you, you wouldn’t want your only son to eat pie that way, especially custard, just because he ' s outa cale, would you?

A Mnrfr iFnr a? Wjn Walk There are two kinds of college students, only two. One kind rides to school in motor cars, the other walks or patronizes the “Perilous Bellemeade.” One kind is slightly superior; it is never out of breath from hopping, jumping, side-stepping, running, vaulting fences, or avoiding dogs and slippery places. The hair of this kind is always smooth, its poise assured. But these people miss half the fun of the day; too bad they don’t know it. The other species are perpetually overcut, heels over-run, presumably overworked, fre¬ quently study or sleep overtime, but (shout it from the housetops) they are never over¬ weight! They are the pedestrians. Really, it is fun to be of the hoi-polloi. What motorist has made the acquaintance of the dogs by block, say from Kentucky to the College? What sedan-driver student has had the incen¬ tive of trying to catch up to Dr. Nichols, the world champion fast eight o’clock arriver? What machine-carried flapper has had the opportunity of listening to the sweet music of her clank¬ ing galosh buckles flapping euphoniously together? Perilous? No doubt. For only the weak of spirit take the cinder path across the campus. Blithely they go up the roads ignoring Ford, Dodge, Hudson, Hupp, Essex, and Marmon as they whirl within an inch of the walkers ' heels. A Buick means nothing in their young lives, and besides all the first rate pedestrians are so late that the cars will have passed some time before, bearing the aforementioned smooth, suave, well-groomed motorists to culture. But these same motorists never dream the weight of knowledge getting heavier block by block as brief-case sags and sags; never does he know the thrill of beating the street-car gang or the yellow bus crowd; never has he run for two blocks only to discover the class has started without him ten minutes before. I say, the car-driving variety of phylum (Collegius Studentus) is unfortunate. Yes, in the words of the great American philosopher, Ring Lardner, I believe, “It’s a great life if you don ' t weaken.” —F. A.

D. cEhr of Happiness Life seems the shadow of an empty dream, The souls of men who day by day this earth Do walk and think of death from time of birth, And wonder at their great Creator ' s scheme, And question why and where, and deem Death ends it all; how little life is worth. For angels weep and devils show their mirth As man, poor fool, his soul will not redeem. For God through faith has set a beacon high Which holds a pow ' r that never shall grow less For men to Him their sins must but confess And light in full on life shall shine from high. Thus faith the secret plans of life reveals, Which otherwise the will of God conceals. 21 §2 m m £2 S3 m m 21 THE LINC - A Qhmm A little old town where life goes on In a humdrum sort of way, Where there’s nowhere to go and nothing to do And nothing to see or say, Nothing to hear but old wives’ tales, And gossip not always kind, Nothing worth while in all the town To occupy the mind.

Though now I dress in grown ' tip gown And never race so free, Yet still I love the little town, And I think that it loves me. —FAY. (in? lUnthpr “She was too good to live,” they said.

He hopped painfully from place to place, his bill opened, his tongue protruding. In his eyes was a frightened, pained look of almost complete exhaustion. Birds flew by, some stopping a minute to look at him curiously. Brown clotted blood covered one of his wings, which stuck out at an awkward angle. The sky was growing dark in the east. The setting sun was dyeing the river a reddish gold. Purple and golden clouds, splotches of color which seemed almost too extravagant, were banked on the horizon. Great black stacks belching forth clouds of smoke stood between the man and the sun. His worn cap was pulled down over his eyes, and his coat collar was turned up, although it was not cold. He was carrying a battered dinner pail. He was looking at the thick dust mixed with cinders as he trudged wearily along. His muscles ached, his feet seemed leaden. He was tired, tired of working, tired of living. Perhaps he was thinking of twelve hour shifts, of blinding seas of molten lead, of boiled cabbage in a dirty boarding house, of hard, lumpy beds. Or perhaps his mind was too drugged with fatigue to think, and there was nothing but a blank and a me- chanical motion of feet. The shiny golden clouds gradually gave way to the soft purple ones. The sky was growing dark in the east. —C. W. II THE LEVEE OF A COTTON SHIPPING CITY The sallow Mississippi swung lazily around a graceful bend. The day was hot and sultry and the river moved as if resting, slowly and with scarcely a ripple. On the long side of the bend was the wharf. The blazing southern August sun burned on row after row of baled cot ' ton, stacked in endless rows along the levee, and only at rare intervals were the bare white rocks discernable. Only a few small steamers were anchored to the huge wharf and these seemed to be resting peacefully as if they did not intend to move for some time. Far down the river another boat, more restless than these, was fading against the horizon. A lazy band of negroes jostled slowly about as they loaded the boats at the wharf, care-free southern darkies, singing as they worked drowsily but steadily, as if keeping time to the ripples slowly lapping against the sides of the wharf-boat. Other darkies stood about the levee in groups evidently waiting for a stern voice to command them to move. Small rickety two-wheeled carts, each carrying but one bale of cotton, were being pulled to and from the boats by tired mules; and monotonous rumbles and squeaks accompanied each cart. The whole scene set me to dreaming. Fields of THE LINC m m m m is m m m 159 white cotton, groups of singing darkies, two-wheeled carts, small boats, and muddy water, all flowed through my half conscious mind in confusion. I was brought back to the scene by some¬ one singing, “I ' ve been working on the levee just to pass the time away.” -—R. R. III BALING HAY IN AUGUST We had been working all morning in the middle of a straw stack with straw piled high on every side of us. Along about twelve o’clock, the sun, directly over us, beat down with all the force of its burning rays. We trudged back and forth from the baler to the pile of newly baled straw. The work was merely mechanical. First, I helped to take the bale out, weigh it, and stack it. Then I went back to the baler, put another block in, pushed some wires through, and continued the process over and over again. The wire pliers were so hot that we could not handle them with bare hands. The steady throb of the engine and the regular movements of the baler grew monotonous. The warm odor of the damp straw laying at our feet was sick¬ ening. My mouth was parched with thirst, but I had no time to stop and drink. It seemed as if twelve o ' clock would never come. My stomach had a hollow, empty feeling about it, while my legs gradually weakened at the knees. The dust was sticking to my wet face. The prickly feeling of the straw particles that were blown against my sunburned skin and down in¬ side my sweat-soaked clothes made my discomfiture all the greater. I was sick of the whole affair. —D.

There is always something about May Day that makes the heart beat a bit faster but when it comes arrayed in all the glory as our last one did, we cherish it in a peculiar way. No small share of the success of the pageant belongs to the committee in charge. This included Miss French, Irene Nolen, Helen Bertelsen, and a costume committee consisting of Irene Koelin and Aileen McGinness. The attendants, Maid of Honor, and Queen were elected by the girls of the Women’s Council from the Junior and Senior classes while the remainder of the cast was chosen by the committee. The faculty chose to be represented by their small sons and daughters and surely Everett Cope, Oliver Hovda, Dorothy Marchant, Margaret Mitch ' ell, and Edmund Robb were representatives of whom almost any Dad might be proud. Thelma Hall as trumpeter led the way out the main entrance announcing the coming of the Queen. A processional of all the girls of the school followed, led by two violinists, Irene Pelz and Mary Bedford, who with Margaret Schnute at the piano accompanied the singing. The chorus carried a ilower chain and was arranged in the form of a semi-circle on each side of the throne. Then the Queen’s procession appeared with Helen Bertelsen as Her Royal Majesty, the Queen, and Ezma Dunning as Maid of Honor. Everett Cope carried the crown, Margaret Mitch ell and Edmund Robb the train, while Oliver Hovda and Dorothy Marchant made the path lovely with flowers. The Queen was crowned by her Maid of Honor and took her seat to review the after¬ noon’s program. A very interesting arrangement of both group and interpretative dances had been made by the committee. These opened with the Crocus dance led by Florence Hovey, followed by the Spring Ghosts whose touch brought lovely flowers springing from the ground. Madaline Haas as Pranks, Hermine Goeke Ruff as Warmth of Heart, Helena Weil as Youth, and Thelma Magan as Love, Nina Lee Burkhart as Robin, and others were lovely in a group of Th e success of our past May Day celebrations, we hope, will induce those who come after us to make this affair an annual one for surely no class can afford to be deprived of the pleasure such an occasion affords. m m £2 £2 m 163 THE EINC S3 £2 m Inatriite The annual boatride is the one big event in the summer calendar. In fact, it is the only truly social affair of the season, for literary societies and athletics take back seats during the summer session and scholarship holds full sway. So the boatride means much to the students. The plans for this year were ambitious; no less a craft than the “Washington” was aimed at. A whirlwind campaign of ticket selling was launched. All regular students were urged to attend; friends of the college were cordially invited to support the affair. But alas! Burns was right about the best laid plans of mice and men—and college boatride committees. The Washington inconsiderately permitted her boiler to explode the very day before the great event. The result was chaos. Telephone wires were kept busy; the committee met to decide what could be saved from the wreckage. To wait for repairs was impossible for two reasons: the boat had all dates ahead filled, up to August, the midspring students would be gone in a short time. The only solution was the “Alton”. In spite of crowded conditions and of the really keen disappointment due to the failure to get the large boat, the ride was the most successful and enjoyable of any since the custom originated. This was partly due to the co-operation of the literary societies, who obligingly furnished a series of stunts and accommodated them to the restricted space of the narrow cabin, partly to the fine musical program given by the Humphreys and by the college players directed by Alvin Miller, and partly to the picnic lunch at Atkinson Park. The way to the picnic ground was weary and long, especially for the valiant and strong- armed youths who bore the ice cream freezers, but the tantalizing odor of Kares’ barbecue lured the crowd ever onward. The Pied Piper of old had no more faithful followers. Then the ride homeward, with a full moon ordered especially for the occasion! Songs and college yells broke the moonlit silence as the boat drew slowly to the wharf. Yes, the boat- ride is the only social event of the summer, but its quality does much to offset the quantities Eg m £2 3 165 THE LINC (7 }e P zo os Prtje Maamy JYu y eazeraa?m yomecommy 6zzme a A Pfaxe er - IeminJz e £ Pmez er 0 166 jaiHiaiBHIIBHHIliaiBBiaBBI GIEIIBItailBligMi VAV Sfomwonting It was with mingled emotions that former students responded to the invitation to the first home-coming at Evansville College. The prospect of seeing old friends and of reviving fond memories of bygone days attracted a goodly number of Alumni. These, with the present stu¬ dents, joined in a full day of program, feasting, rooting, and general celebration. The morning was given over to a series of stunts by the various literary societies. “Ham¬ let” acquired a new interest after the rehearsal by the highly temperamental Theta Sigmas. Polonius died loudly and frequently behind the chair arras; the duel was effectively staged (with what effect, we refuse to commit ourselves); and the costuming was worthy of comment. The stellar role of each performer makes individual credit impossible. The appreciation of the audience often drowned out the lines. The Philos staged the greatest battle on earth. The setting was not spectacular, but cleverly worked out. A noble knight, Sir Gastricus Juicus, challenged all foes who entered by way of Oesophagus Pass. Many were the victims of his broad-about six inches broad-sword. At last the valiant warrior was conquered by Sir Mince Pieus, after the greatest battle e ' er fought. The Sigourneans demonstrated their interest in affairs of the heart. An attractive shop where hearts were sold and exchanged was patronized by a young miss who was very, very choicy in her selection. Heart after heart was rejected. One was so hard; another, too cold; a third, cracked. A fine large heart, marked Sigournean, proved too alluring to resist, but the unfortunate damsel was told that the heart was not for sale, but had been left for a par¬ ticular person to call for. She left in dismay, having lost her own heart. The kind shop keeper held forth hope of a happy exchange. The clever lines, attractive setting, and good interpretation made the little skit highly entertaining. The Castalians portrayed a much-admired young lady whose admirers came in droves. Be¬ ing kind of heart she tried to make each charmer think himself the only one on the spot. With rare resourcefulness she disguised her suitors by means of draperies. The first became a hat- rack; the second, a table; and the third, an armchair. Unfortunately, the last disguise was too realistic and suitor number four was lured to the spacious depths of the chair. Result—a general downfall, and the curtain. It remained for the Photos to capture the highest laurels. Their look into the future re¬ vealed E. C. in 193 5, when the women had shown the final proofs of their superiority by taking over athletics and the art (?) of proposing. The men demonstrated one thing without a doubt: they have been long and faithful observers of the fair sex. Otherwise, their take-off could not have been so clever. The crowning feature was the entrance of an engaged couple. The simpering smirk on the face of the groom was indescribable. The lady wore all the air of triumph accredited to the male of the present generation. The total proved too much for the judges and the Photos were proclaimed the winners. The result of the football game at Bosse Field did nothing to dampen the spirits; instead it sent them soaring. The large crowd and the general air of celebration spurred the team to do their best playing. A score of 6 to 0 was the result. A six o’clock dinner at the Y. M. C. A. was the special Alumni feature. The ninety peo¬ ple present had barely time to finish eating in time for the windup of homecoming day: a roar¬ ing bonfire on the college campus. It is still a matter of dispute whether the students, faculty, or Alumni did the most and loudest yelling. £2 IS £2 m m £2 IS 167 ‘giHHlimiBHIH ' M rmtmiiiiiifmm, mmwnmrmtm m itfimtMimmnr; m ttmimwmmmin Iff THE LINC •� I || Ice (iimitiiMiiiiniiM uiiitnmimihiiiHi Mmiimummnmi siHiminminnini 168 Jlrrlimmii People called Miss Minder ambitious when she announced the choice of Owen Davis’ great play, “Icebound”, for presentation by the Thespian society on December 17.

The class, of course, had been given thorough instruction in the organization and ideals of the S. G. A. and had very submissively served the required eight weeks’ probation. They now received full voting power, were expected to at ' tend the regular meetings held every Friday morning, report in writing any observation of a viola ' tion of the honor system, aid the student decorum committee in every way possible, and co¬ operate with the officers of the S.

Look, Prexy ' s wearing green! The exclamations flew thick and fast as the wind whistled around the corners of Evansville College on October the ninth. The class scrap was on! The Freshies were positive they were going to win but they feared the Sophs wouldn’t show sufficient sorrow for their lost cause. Lest this should be the case, they provided a tear bomb, the first ever used in a class fracas. The tire rush was soon over. The Freshies really wondered where the Sophs were but the girls helped some by their yells. The wheelbarrow race was more exciting; but the result showed that there was little transfer of college training when it came to handling wheelbarrows. The third event was a contest between football shoes and French heels. The Sophomore war- riors as a last resort donned the “spikes of the gridiron warriors, but the Freshmen used war tactics and military and French heels sank deeper into the ground. As for the men’s tug ' oLwar, the Sophs very generously conceded that they were better able to withstand the shower bath and took it with what good grace they could. The closing event was the pole rush. In this, the Sophs, led by Paul Mason, came forth victorious. It was so thrilling that Miss States from her observatory station at a library window turned her head away in dread and asked Miss Porter to tell her when it was ended. The whistle blew and the 192? class scrap was history. —R. L. M. Ill m m m £2 m m m 172 S’uuntil ' r Si ' Hsimt, 1325 Each year in the life of the college shows a closer relationship between the summer stu- dents and those enrolled during the regular school year. Not only do many of the regular students attend summer school but a goodly number of teachers avail themselves of summer session opportunities to do work toward a degree, entering college regularly to complete their fourth year. It is eminently fitting, therefore, that these students be considered an integral part of the college life, and that a section of the college annual be set aside for summer activities.

What you need, Mr. Baugh, is to get some material on this subject. You can ' t expect to have a good speech without proof to back it up—Anson! Do stop that prancing up and down the room. Sit down; you will drive me distracted. Anson: I ' ve been sitting for the last four hours, Miss Minder. Miss M.: Hasn’t Margaret Miller come yet? I wonder what is detaining her. It is in excusable for one to be late every time. (Boren appears at the door and sweetly remarks: “It is time to close the building. ' ' ) Miss M.: All right, we ' ll be through in just a minute. Dot: Here comes the recalcitrant child now. (Enters Margaret Miller.) Margaret: Whew-ee—Talking about tough luck, I’ve been on the road since four-thirty. Th ere was no Bellemeade car until five-thirty and they came four in a row then. Gee! this snow is fierce. Miss M.: Well, we are almost through now. Margaret. I have some material here to dis¬ tribute. Who wants this? (No answer). (Jessie turns out the lights). Miss M.: My gracious, what does this mean? Morlock: He w ' ants us to go. Dot: What makes him in such a hurry? It ' s only six o ' clock. Miss M.: Well, we ' re not ready yet. Lockwood (going to the door): Turn the lights on, Boren, we ' ll be through in one second, please. (Lights come on). Miss M.: Now, Mr. Morlock, in your speech, 1 want you to deal with the political side of this question more than the economic. So you take this. (Lights go out again. Permanently this time). Miss M.: Ye Gods, what does he mean? Boren! I wish I could get hold of him. What shall I do? My coat is upstairs, my papers are all scattered about here. Who has a match? (Lockwood and Kerr produce their supply and light the way for Miss Minder). Miss M.: Oh, I forgot my key! Kerr: Just like a woman! (After much groping in the dark, all find their belongings and ride away in Baugh ' s snow- filled machine.) THE LINC 184 ©ur (tnllryc (Eafi ' tiuia “Yum! Yum! What now? I have been to the Evansville College Cafeteria. Good cats guaranteed. Miss Brase, proprietress.” Th us far no one has been able to cash in on this guarantee, either because the food is so good or because Miss Brase is proprietress. Weight of evidence is preponderously in favor of the latter. Miss Holder is cook of the establishment. She does beautiful embroidery work. Cautious students take warning from the combination, Brase and Holder, as to what they may expect of the food. The rest of the cafeteria personnel are students who are largely responsible for the num¬ ber of paper napkins used for the benefit of the general public. Experienced customers take two napkins, one for the usual purpose, and one for the purpose of wiping the dishes and cut- lery. The spaciousness and general arrangement of the cafeteria is worthy of special note. No one, unless he be an Oscar Byers, need have any fear of humping his head on the underside of the bleachers. Its comfortable capacity is limited to the following: Miss Brase, an ice box, and two standard sized people. The fifteen minute ascent that must be made before one may be seated insures a hearty appetite. It is not unlike the basement cafeteria that advertise “a cup of coffee and a roll down stairs,” in that it provides refreshments and exercise. The management recognizes that “variety is the spice of life.” For the introduction of this variety into the life of the student, what could be more delightful to the eater and what could provide more innocent pleasure for the onlookers than the breaking of a couple of teeth on a cherry seed in a seedless cherry pie? That the cafeteria is generous can not be doubted. Dinners are served ten to two, from which it follows that one gets five, a very generous portion. “I hope you get lumps in your potatoes,” is no idle curse in old E. C., where potato skins are filled with marbles. In closing it must be stated in all fairness to the cafeteria that they furnish toothpicks with meals which is far more than can be said for the Hotel McCurdy. “D ' ye see that sign on the door, ' Only Staff Members Allowed ' ? Well, then get out.’ Johnny Feigel ' s frown changes to a smile. The atmosphere of the Crescent office clears. Tails Rea lies down comfortably on the desk, Helena Weil curls up on the table by the radiator with her feet on a chair. Herman Sander drapes himself over the typewriter chair. Rosemary Doyle perches on the window sill with her feet on the radiator. Var Russell follows Helena s suit with her feet on another chair. T. Rea selects one of the two remaining chairs and starts softly playing the banjo—louder, then louder and everybody joins in for the first two measures of the chorus when—the dean walks in. m ss 22 m The night was dark and dreary, the moon was out of sight, two figures strolled arm in arm down Vine street. It was Helen Johnson and Paul Mason coming home from Sig meeting. Oh, my yes, Paul ' s a charter member. A sudden silence in Brown’s drug store, Sigs and Photos sit at rigid attention to hear how the old college is faring ht the DePauw basketball game—breathless silence, then, “This is WGBF broadcasting, Finke Furniture Company, Evansville, Indiana, (silence still breathless) the next number on our program’’—and the uproar starts again. —and the crowd roared, it shouted, it shrieked and yelled at the poor, helpless man sitting in front of them frenziedly beating his hands against the black and white bars, beating out the measures of the Doxology. Don ' t you imagine Louis Lockwood ' s father gets bored at the monotony of sixteen hours “A” every quarter. “Nothing,” says Rusty Reinke, “is that which there is when there ain’t no more.” A ©ragrdg ttt 1 iFIat He was a man with eyes of red, Eyes that stuck out of the front of his head But now he’s gone — ah, yes, he’s dead, He died of a dirty collar. A ICittlr lallad Entitled “iUu, (§1) iMg” ’Twas in the early month of June When first I saw two lovers spoon, Oh me, oh my, oh my. Deep in the lovely park they sat, She upon her lover’s hat, Oh me, oh my, oh my. They watched the little boats go by, She laid back and seemed to sigh. Oh me, oh my, oh my. A newsboy calls in accent wild, “Come buy a paper from this young child,” Oh me, oh my, oh my. And then her festive parent came, He called her lover full many a name, Oh me, oh my, oh my. Today at home our heroine sits, First she crochets and then she knits, Oh me, oh my, oh my. This is the end of that love affair, For the maid,—the man again is there, Oh me, oh my, oh my. — Selected.
