Our Freshmen were em rolled two days before the upperclassmen and the additional time allotted to them was spent in hearing lectures by the professors and in taking various sorts of tests. The social side of Freshman life was well attended to during the entire first week, the outstanding events being the faculty dames’ reception and the mixers given by the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. Three additions to the faculty were made and five positions on the old staff were filled. Miss Frankie B. Walter came to replace Miss States in the education department and Miss Pearl FeCompte to replace Miss Minder in the department of public speaking. Harry F. Winslow came to assist Dr. Hovda in the department of Mathematics and James R. Jackson became the new head of the department of business administration. Miss Dorothy Dawson was given charge of the women’s physical education. Mrs. Russell Wyatt and Miss Flora Hanning, two of our own graduates, came back as instructors in the departments of Zoology and Chemistry, respectively. Coach Harmon received an assistant in the person of Francis M. Sander. The Men’s Dodge and Sander’s dormitory were established this year and marked an advance in the furnishing of adequate dormitory facilities for men. The burning of Hughes Hall, which had served as the women’s dormitory, makes the building of a new women’s dormitory almost a necessity and has intensified the effort to get enough money to build it. Although the search has not as yet been successful it is hoped that the possibility will become a certainty sometime in the near future. Plans were laid by the Indiana Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church to provide funds in 1929 for the expansion of the college. Another important matter for us was the fact that during the conference Dr. Hughes completed his tenth year as president of Evansville College. The college Engineering Department received a gift of ten thousand dollars from an anonymous benefactor, the money to be used mostly for the purpose of buying surveying instruments and installing new laboratory and classroom equipment. The library was also the recipient of a gift of five thousand dollars to be used in buying books. The College Athletic Department was insured a stadium on the campus when the students and trustees bought the tabernacle used by the Methodist churches for Dr. Anderson’s meetings. The students and faculty wrecked the building and hauled the lumber to the campus where it was stacked to await operations in the spring when the new stadium will be erected. For the first time in our history we entertained the representatives of the Indiana Intercollegiate Oratorical Association. Visiting speakers were here to represent Purdue, Butler, Notre Dame, Wabash, Franklin, Earlham and Manchester.

In addition to enforcemeni of its rules regarding conduct, the association has charge of certain student enter prises—the Crescent, the Line publication, hospital and relief work, athletic promo¬ tion, and Freshman regulation.

The year of 1926-27 was a very successful one as far as the Y. M. C. A. was concerned. A variety of programs was presented of outside speakers and home talent. Meetings were always well attended especially when subjects of current interest were discussed. Several large school social events were sponsored by the Y. M. and Y. W. At the begin ' ning of the year a large albcollege party was held in the gym. A series of friendship banquets throughout the year were also given by the two associations. All tended to create a better spirit of fellowship between students and faculty members. To further the spiritual life of the student body beyond the reach of the weekly meetings, the associations secured the Reverend R. W. Schloerb from Naperville, Illinois, to conduct a series of meetings on life problems. Perhaps the most gratifying result of the year was the close cooperation of the two associa ' tions. Both realized that cooperation rather than divided interest brings better re¬ sults in Christianity.

A. is to spread the teachings of Jesus among the women of the college and to create among them a feeling of love for one another. Meetings are held once a week, and in order that we may have a greater knowledge of the people of other countries one meeting each month is devoted to World Fellow ' ship. During the year the Y. W. C. A. joins with the Y. M. C. A. in bringing to the school religious speakers with whom they can discuss their life problems.

Z WOMAN’S COUNCIL The Woman’s Council of Evansville College was organized three years ago so that the social, intellectual and moral interests of the women students of the college might be taken care of. The rest-room, which was furnished by the Women’s Col¬ lege Club, is under the care of the Woman’s Council. A series of teas is given by the Senior, Junior, Sophomore and Freshman girls, under the supervision of the Council. The most important activity of the Council is the annual May Day Festival which is presented during the spring quarter.

This change was made in order that only those who had the time and were interested could get on the staff. No college credit is given for the work on the paper; it is only the personal interest and cooperation of the staff that has made the paper possible. Miss Rosemary Doyle, exoditor, and Mr. R. E. Olmsted, faculty advisor, or¬ ganized the club. Later Miss Doyle resigned as editor because of an overdoad of office duties. Under the management of the new editor, the club successfully pub ' lished the Crescent for the remainder of the year. OFFICERS President and Editor-in-chief. Business Manager....

The aim of the department is to establish an “esprit de corps” within the department, to promote a high standard of scholarship, and to link up the members of the department with actual business life by promoting friendly relations with the business men of the city who are invited to address the club from time to time. Major activities of the past year included a debate presented before the Evansville Asso¬ ciation of Credit Men and the annual “Wind Up” at the close of the school year. • CTo Irvin Whifmoyer.

E. Robb’s home to discuss plans for reorganization. The first meeting was called by Elmer Schaller for January 17, at the Y. M. C. A. dining hall. This resulted in a luncheon club meeting monthly, to forward fellowship and social activities and to enjoy a finer interest in the engineering fields as disclosed by technical speakers.

The teams have done their excellent work, however, with the splendid and untiring aid of their coach, Miss Pearle LeCompte. The teams participated in four important contests: 1. Resolved: That Congress should be given power to enact uniform marriage and divorce laws. Aff. Evansville College, Women ' s Team; Neg. Taylor University, Women’s Team. 2. Resolved: That federal grants-in-aid to states should be discontinued. Aff. Evansville College; Neg. Butler University—at Butler. Aff. Terre Haute; Neg. Evansville College — at E. C. 4. Resolved: That the Eighteenth Amendment should be repealed immediately. Aff. Northwestern University; Neg. Evansville College. You have noticed that the word “teams” was used rather than the word team. Coed de¬ bating after several years of doubt, has at last won a permanent place in the activities of the IS 22 58 DER DEUTSCHE BUND Der Deutsche Bund, the organization of the German department, is one of the infant societies of Evansville College. It was organized in the fall of 1926. Both first and second year students compose its membership. In its bi-monthly meeting, a more intimate interest in German is fostered through reports on German travels and customs, singing German popular songs, and conversing in German. The business of the meetings is also conducted in German.

Josephine Hardy, instructor of foreign languages. In order to assure the permanence of this organisation a constitution was adopted. The club, whose membership includes all French students, meets on every other Wednesday during one of the class periods. After the business meeting which is conducted in French the time is devoted to a social period. Interesting programs, arranged by a committee elected for this purpose, consist of the singing of French songs, the participation in French games, and the discussions of French people. The program committee is composed of Esther Torbet, Earle Fowe and Alice Fytle. OFFICERS President . Miriam Hardy Vice-President .. Evalyn Moter Secretary-Treasurer .

MOTTO: “Find a Way or Make One.” While organized for, and still having for its principal aim, the literary develop ' ment of its members, the Photozeteans in the last two years have taken a stand for good fellowship on the entire campus, fostering it by meeting with the other societies and with the faculty. Within the society this purpose has been attained by the social hour that follows the Tuesday night program, and by its parties, which this year included a formal dinner, a “Millionaire” party, and a launch ride.

The desert has been broad and often the sands have been very hot, but now the caravan has nearly reached the end of the journey. In advance ride four leaders with anxious, straining eyes looking for an oasis. During the torrid season the caravan has always rested and each time a group of energetic pilgrims from a later caravan have succeeded in reaching the resting place before the pilgrims have resumed their journey. Now and then, also, a straggler has been picked up from the caravan ahead. To the staunch ' hearted pilgrims there is wafted on the air a sweet, nameless perfume, the permeating richness of happy friendships, of tasks well-met and honors won. And so the caravan has moved on and on. The dunes ahead have hidden from eager eyes the domes and spires of the Commence¬ ment City. Now, the sun is setting and the shadows of tall palms fall at their feet, and the breeze continues to blow to them the rich scent of flowers. A large and fertile oasis springs from the sands ahead. The end of the day is near. They look back upon the desert sands and marvel at the joy of living and the wonder of traveling toward the City of their Desire. 78 HEIHIlHHIHBIHIiaHtHBBIBlQBHIH g rntnra Trr ■ -fi HUBERT KOCKRITZ Class President English—History Philoneikean; Crescent Staff; Thespian Dra- matic Society; Chorus; German Club. On Hubert rests all the dignity of the Class of ’27. In the capacity of class president, Hubert has proved himself quite capable from the blazers to the sheep¬ skin. Also Hubert is one-half of the Kockritz-Lock- wood combination, an organization whose influence has functioned strongly at various times. It is vaguely rumored that Hubert debates, and the stu¬ dents who have heard evidence of his wide-reaching vocabulary are willing to concede this fact. That Hubert sings well is perhaps not known to all students for he sings only when the spirit moves him or when Prexy allows him to sing. Hubert will probably go into journalism after graduation. RUSSELL SPRINGSTUN Vice-President Chemistry—Zoology Philoneikean: Vice-President ' 27; Business Manager of Line ' 27; Business Manager of Ath¬ letics ' 25-’27; Vice-President of Senior Class; Baseball: Captain ’25-’26; Athletic Board: Treas¬ urer ’26-’27. Since Inez isn’t here any more Russell is so lonely. He wanders in and out of the library and through the halls looking rather blue. Russell is going to be a doctor, when he grows up—and he’ll surely upset tradition and make a lot of money from the start. All the flappers fall for his curly hair. Russell has dignity, good looks, athletic and business ability. His chief failing is a fondness for concentration—especially on his lessons. Such a quality is indeed extremely rare — out in “life,” not in college — and is certain to contribute greatly to his success in life. ALICE LYTLE Secretary-Treasurer French—Spanish Press Club; Society Editor Crescent ' 26; Cas- talian: Chaplain ' 26, Sergeant-at-Arms ' 27, President ' 27; French Club; Thespian Dramatic Society; Captain Girls’ Basketball Team ' 27; Secretary-Treasurer Class of ' 27; Debate and Oratory Council; Prosecuting Attorney; Cas- talians ' 25. Alice is nature’s only rival for Pompeian Cream. She has so much “pep” that we wonder when she gets her beauty sleep. She seems to get it though, since her charms have dimmed those of the girls that come from the state which is famous for its pretty women. Alice has been the spirit behind our girls’ basketball team for so long that we fear for next year’s team. She has a fondness for French and fre¬ quently reels it off in a most disconcerting manner. She has the convenient habit of talking so fast that no one can tell for sure whether it is correct or nol We wonder if Alice is going to Hanson to help tal up the sidewalks every night. pit Qv P, U 79 € rntnrH JESSIE ADAMS Bible—Philosophy Oxford Club: Treasurer ’26-’27; Classical Club; Y. W. C. A.: Treasurer ’24-’2? ' ; Agassiz, Club; Winner Second Prize Paul Charles Ander¬ son Oratorical Contest ' 24. Jessie is that very intelligent-looking girl who is frequently seen pouring over a Greek lexicon. By her the fathomless depths of philosophy are easily mastered. She has not only a woman’s wit but also her persistence, and we are prophesying for her a successful career in her chosen line of work, which is religious education. With all her application to her work and the faithfulness with which she does each task that falls to her she has always found time to be a pleasant friend. To those who know her best, her quiet loyalty will always be a glad memory. CARL ALLINGER Philosophy—Bible Photozetean; Oxford Club: President ’23-’24; Jordan Science Club: President ’24- ' 25; Y. M. C. A.: Vice-President ’ 2 5-’ 26; Agassiz Club; Geology Club; Classical Club. Carl may be characterized as the man who never frowns and has a smile for everyone. Now just what makes him so good-natured is hard to say. He has been not only a student but also a pastor of the Salem church. Carl has that combination of traits of character which makes him a well-liked person on the campus. Many have wondered how it was that he could get on so well with his many duties. The secret is that his wife does his work for him. He is also one of the very few that had nerve to take two years of Greek from Dr. Bassett. ROBERT BAKER Civil Engineering Philoneikean; Engineers’ Club: President ' 23 Bob could easily rival Abe Lincoln for various reasons, chief among which is his effective technique as a rail-splitter. All the Seniors who were on the coon hunt can testify to the distinct resemblances between honest Abe and E. C.’s Bob. He is an engi¬ neer and has been employed by the C. and E. I. railroad. He also has other interests at heart, one of which is visiting a preacher’s family near Mc- Cutchanville. Bob has a real sense of humor which crops out just often enough to make many friends for him. He was the president of the Engineers’ Club in 1923, ’24. nttnra MARY BEDFORD Latin—Spanish Theta Sigma: Secretary ’24, Chaplain ’25, President ' 26; Hughes Hall: Secretary ’24- ' 25, President ’25-’27; Asa Gray Botanical Club 24 ' ’25; Latin Club ’24-’26; Hospital Board ’25 ' 27; Executive Board ’27; Secretary of S. G. A. 25 ' ’26; Y. W. C. A.: President ’26 ' ’27. If they speak truly who say that the best of treas¬ ures are found by diligent searching, then a more beautiful treasure could not be found than Mary. Mary is the girl to whom a person goes when he w ants something—from a chance to express himself to tomorrow’s Latin lesson. Her dignity and her de¬ votion to Latin are never-ending sources of wonder to us all. Besides, her executive ability proves that she ought to be able to manage anything after she escapes from this institution—she has managed us so well! JOHN BOREN Business Administration Philoneikean; Business Administration Club. If diligence means success, John has a bright fu¬ ture before him. Even the tennis enthusiasts never saw him do anything but work. He is one of E. C.’s outstanding self-supporting students—and he didn’t have to get off the campus to do it either. Consid¬ ering all the experience he has had in driving college cars, John should be a second Ralph DePalma—or perhaps it would be more truthful to say, a second¬ hand Ford mechanic. “By his rattle ye shall know him.” GLADYS BRANNON English — History Theta Sigma: Vice ' President ’25, Sergeant ' at ' Arms ’25-’26; Vice-President of Woman’s Council ’25 ' ’26; Chairman of Handbook Com ' mittee ’25; Associate Editor of the Line ’26; Editor of Line ’27; Student Decorum Commit- tee ’26; President of Asa Gray Botanical Club ’27; Writers’ Club ’26-’27; Senior Social Com¬ mittee. It is very hard to believe that so much executive ability, wisdom and energy could be packed into so small a person. Gladys’ ability to get all her papers in on time and her courage in the face of the Line office at its worst have never been surpassed in the history of the college. She is never too busy, how¬ ever, to be friendly. Gladys deserves all the love and honor she gets—not to speak of grades—and we wish her all the success she desires. .( - fii.ru 4- r 7 i rim v._r TAYA , p .� ' i in | ’ 81 ntiorfi JANE BRENNER Biology—Spanish We are certainly glad to graduate with such a delightful sort of person as Jane Brenner seems to be—although our acquaintance so far is extremely slight. She has never attended E. C. in the regular school year, which explains why. Her college work has been done in extension and summer courses and in the old Evansville teachers’ training school. She has already proved herself successful in her chosen profession, since she is an arithmetic teacher in Carpenter school in Evansville. We wish her all kinds of success. NINA LEE BURKHART English—History Sigournean: Chaplain ' 24, Secretary ' 25, Critic ' 26, President ' 26; Woman’s Council: Vice ' President ' 26, President ' 27; Debate and Oratory Council; Thespian Dramatic Society: Secretary ' 27. There is something in Nina Lee that wins everyone ' s admiration. She is the combination of love, loyalty and sweetness. Even Ed. could not resist her—and how can we blame him when we ourselves cannot ? The girls of the college showed their love and trust in her when they elected her to the position of presi¬ dent of the Woman’s Council. We think that if she had a chance she would make a good school teacher— she does like so much to ring that library bell! HENRY A. BURGGRABE Mechanical Engineering En gineers’ Club; College Band. Henry is a very quiet fellow—a characteristic which has kept him from being heard very much through¬ out E. C.’s halls. His originality in that respect is much to be commended. To those who know Henry very well he is a true friend and good sport. Henry is a mechanical engineer and his persistency and effort should win him whatever he desires. 82 § ruiurH NELL CARLIN Spanish—English Miss Carlin is another of our unknown quantities. Her reputation, however, is such that we are ail sure we would like to know her better. She received her college training at the State Normal School at Terre Haute, and in extension and summer school courses here. She teaches arithmetic at Campbell school. Her success as a teacher indicates that she won ' t be numbered among the class down-and-outers, at least. COMPTON CAPEL Electrical Engineering Photozetean: Secretary ’24, President ’26, Treasurer 23 ' “25, Critic ’27; Engineers’ Club: Vice ' President ’25, President ’26; Art Editor of Line ’26 ' ’27; Vice ' President S. G. A. ’26 ' ’27; Assistant Instructor in Mechanical Drawing ’26 ' ' 27. Comp is the Senior class optimist—more or less. Wherever a group in the hall is argueing some vital question, one can generally find him in the heat of the battle, on a side by himself if possible. Compton is highly talented along artistic lines—as well as in stage managing. Besides this, he has a quiet humor and an ability to make and keep friends. His affec¬ tions for a certain sweet teacher in Rockport are well-known to all the students. Here’s luck to Comp¬ ton and Dorothy. CHARLES CLAYBON Zoology—Chemistry Philoneikean; Band; German Club; Pasteur Medical Society. Charlie—or Rabbi, as he has lately been named— won his fame as buglist by sounding taps for the Memorial Day chapel. But he has better talents than mere bugling. Besides being a good student, Charles can stand on his head and turn flips amazingly well for the entertainment of the Oxford Club. Charles is not a member of this organization, however. Charles is endowed also with the gift from the gods of never troubling trouble till trouble troubles him. C r ' . ini 83 g ntinrs BESS COOK Education—Spanish Bess Cook is another one of Evansville’s working graduates. She has taught in the city schools through¬ out her college course and attended college during the summer. She lives in Newburgh and “commutes” to work. FRIEDA COOK Spanish—Education Frieda Cook is Bess’s sister and all that has been said about Bess applies also to her. The only differ¬ ence between them so far as our limited knowledge is able to ascertain is that one majored in Education and minored in Spanish and the other majored in Spanish and minored in Education. r ' . GILBERT CURRY Bible—Philosophy Classical Club; Asa Gray Botanical Club; Agassiz Club; Y. M. C. A.; Oxford Club: Sec ' retary ’26 ' ' 27. Gilbert’s keen wit and pleasant personality have made for him friends of all who know him. He has a great task before him in his chosen field, the ministry, but while he is serious-minded with regard to his work and deeply consecrated to it, he has time for fun and friends. His chief indoor sport is wrestling with the intricate and complex problems of philosophy such as Metaphysics and Teleology. Al¬ together, Gilbert is a splendid fellow. This is not only the estimate of his schoolmates but very espec¬ ially that of his lovely wife and little daughter. 84 I 0rntm a WILLIAM FOL2 History—Mathematics Debating; Business Administration Club. Bill is the school’s historian, not excepting Dr. Kegier or Dean Torbet. Besides knowing all the his¬ tory of the past, he even attempts to visualize history of the future. However, Bill’s interests are not all confined to the past for he takes an active interest in modern affairs—even to the extent of playing a cornet in a full jazz band. He also has the virtue of a strong will. Once having decided his path, nothing, including the powers that be, can persuade him to change it. Combined with this characteristic. Bill has a sense of humor and friendliness which makes him well liked on and off the campus. RALPH M. FRANK Civil Engineering Baseball ’24-’26; Engineers’ Club; Athletic Board ’24 ' ’25. “Jimmie,” our modest woman hater, claims a home that few men can boast of—the Garden of Eden. He prefers a good baseball game in the company of his fellows any day to a party where there are women. Jimmie worked for the L. and N. Railroad the last three years of his part-time course as a rodman on the Engineering Corps. He is very much interested in baseball, having played catcher on the varsity for two years. He was captain in 1924. Jimmie is especially interested in land rec¬ lamation and irrigation projects and hopes to locate in that type of work. We’re bettin’ on you, Jimmie! ARMINA ENTSMINGER Education—Science Jordan Science Club: Secretary ’24-’25; Y. W. C. A.; Line Staff Art Associate, ’25, Armina has done part of her work in summer school and part during the regular school year. The rest of the time she has taught school. Her inter¬ esting personality and good humor have made her well-liked by all those who have had the privilege of knowing her. She is quite an artist and a very sweet girl. - V C ' LL; |PJ ®j®f ;o juniors LELA HIXON Music To many of us, Lelah is not very well known, as she has taken most of her work during summer terms and by extension. However, many of the students give glowing reports of her as a critic teacher. To those of us who are musical, we know Lelah as the extremely efficient and lovely alto in Trinity choir. Whether it is the ‘‘Hallelujah Chorus,” or an easy hymn, the choir takes its cue from the little blond behind the console. We are sorry that Lelah has not been with us this year, as we all wish to know her better. EDWARD HOOD Education—Science Mr. Hood has never attended Evansville College during the regular school year so most of us have never had the opportunity of knowing him. His work here has been done in summer school and in extension courses. He attended the University of Illinois two summer sessions in 1921 and 1922, and he is a graduate of the Eastern Illinois State Teachers’ Col¬ lege. He has taught in the Evansville city schools for the last six years. O; WALTER HUDSON Botany—English Writers ' Club; Pasteur Medical Society; Vice- President ' 25. Hudson is one of those who returned from afar to graduate with the Class of ’27—and he gave evi¬ dence of his good taste in doing so. Walter is simply all-wise in science and vain is the man or woman who disputes his word. He is also one of the assistant librarians and an inspired member of the Writers’ Club. Combined with all this, Walter is an earnest and successful student and E. C. is glad to be his Alma Mater. 86 Brnturs f TfiTf f t tf T y f ? f TTTyr r WALTER JARVIS Business Administration Business Administration Club: Vice-President ' 24-’25, Director ’22; Director of Band ’24-’25. Walter is the gentleman with the fierce, black moustache and the dismantled Ford roadster. We prophesy ultimate death from exposure. He is cheery and good-humored, seldom quiet and seldom sober. He is greatly interested in good music, being the director of E. C.’s band once upon a time. Could the graduating class unite in giving Walter some¬ thing, it would probably be a goodly supply of en¬ during supporters. Debating. ANSON KERR History—English Anson likes to talk. He does it so well, however, that nobody minds. He debates—any place and any time that he can get someone to take the other side. He usually has a very positive opinion and almost always has the last word. He is also one of the col¬ lege ' s free spirits. He never does anything he doesn’t want to. For that he is much envied. He can also write poetry—although he exercises this gift only when instigated by some very special force—from within or without. His wit and friendliness make him liked by all who know him. MARK LOCKWOOD History—Biology Philoneikean; Debating; Thespian Dramatic Society. Mark is the class ghost. He is so thin that it is almost impossible to tell whether he is there or isn ' t there. Mark never says anything unless it’s necessary, but when he does he speaks with such an air of au¬ thority that very few dare to contradict him. He would make a good bishop—except for the fact that you couldn’t hire him to be one and the bishops wouldn’t own him if he were one. He is especially interested in debating and dramatics and does both exceedingly well. It is hard to tell what he is going to be eventually—but whatever he is, it’s a sure thing he won’t be a nonentity. He is going to start by teaching school — if he isn’t fired for corrupting the ideals of the young. ■ L If irf - m in w r ■ if 87 - I S rmnrs . RALEIGH MASS History—Mathematics Operetta “Pepita”; Photozetean; Y. M. C. A.; Chorus ' 23 ' ’24. Raleigh is our male flirt. It’s too bad that he didn’t have his picture taken before so many of his love affairs proved failures. Then too he is dis¬ couraged over the prospects of our dear school. For how can the school run without him ? He has been looking for a freshman to take over this responsibili¬ ty; but so far his efforts have been in vain. It’s too bad Raleigh hasn’t a good Irish name so that we might predict a success for him as a wa rd- politician. That would have suited him much better than teaching school. ERNEST MARTIN Religious Education—History Oxford Club; Chapel Choir. Ernest is one more of the famous Oxford Club students. He is known in old E. C. for his persistent and untiring work, his willing inspiration and his quiet friendship. Ernest is also possessed of a deep bass voice which gained him a chair among the mighty in the chapel choir. We wish him all suc¬ cess possible in his life’s work in the ministry. GLADYS MARSH Philosophy—History Theta Sigma: Chaplain ' 27; Oxford Club: Secretary ’24 ' ’26, Vice ' President ' 26 ' ’27; ClassL cal Club: Treasurer ’2W26; Agassiz Club ’25; Y. W. C. A.; Writers’ Club. Gladys knows more jokes than any other person on the campus. She always pops them when we are least expecting them. She also has a fondness for Fords — whether they go or not. And she has no scruples about giving them hard wear. Gladys is a minister — our only lady minister. She can also write very well, and she likes to swim. Everybody is her friend—which is saying a great deal for a minister. Success is sure to be hers. is rntura RUTH MILLER Home Economics—Chemistry Sigournean: Vice-President ’23-’24, President ’25, Critic ’26; Vice-President Junior Class ’24- ’26; Thespian Dramatic Society; Vice-President ’24-’25; S. G. A.: Secretary , 24-’25; Woman’s Council: Vice-President ’24-’25; Y. W. C. A.: Secretary ’23-’24; Associate Editor Crescent ’26. Ruth is everyone’s friend even the unfortunate vio¬ lator of library rules. She has a charming person¬ ality, a keen sense of humor, and all the sweetness there is. She also thinks occasionally — and to some purpose. She is going to be a dietitian eventually, but next year she is going to teach school—if she doesn’t go to New York first. She is a very good student — considering all the Chemistry she has taken — but her studies haven’t altogether interfered with her college education. We like her a lot. JAMES MORLOCK History—Science Photozetean; Writers’ Club; Debating. James is known around Evansville College chiefly for his strong southern accent and his debating abili¬ ty. He is also very fond of sitting on two-legged chairs—the other two legs being up in the air. James has the admirable ability of always being able to say something worthwhile when called upon to recite. He has taken a great deal of his college work in summer school and has already taught school. HOMER PAGE Philosophy—English Oxford Club: Vice-President ’25-’26; Classi¬ cal Club; Agassiz Club. This Quiet, perfect gentleman is quite an asset to the class. It hasn’t any too much dignity as it is. We think if we should be asked to vote for the school’s finest gentleman, the vote would be unani¬ mous for Homer. We have never known his cour¬ tesy to fail. He is also a splendid scholar—and, strange to say, his scholarship is all wool and a yard wide. Anyone who can run a church and a family and go to school at the same time will certainly make a success of anything he may attempt after he graduates. .JT 89 SrninrH NOBLE PFEIFFER Philosophy—Bible Oxford Club: President ’25-’26, Secretary ' 24- ' 25. Noble never says much about himself—but his friends know that his reticence is due to his modesty and not to lack of anything to say. He is not always the dignified divine as all can testify who have seen him frantically cheering the white and purple war¬ riors to victory. The clew to this unseemingly fervor lies in his past history, for Noble was once an ath¬ lete himself at Danville Normal where he was in at¬ tendance previous to entering E. C. For three years Pfeiffer has served with distinction as pastor of one of the city churches. His accomplishments include the consolidation of two churches with an attendant building program, and the initiation of one of the first inter-denominational co-operative programs for religious education in our city. MARY PLEAK Home Economics—English Chorus; Education Club. If you have any problems about housekeeping, sew¬ ing or cooking, just ask Mary. Besides being a good Home Economics student, she is always ready for a good time especially during the class pex-iod. Mary’s black eyes sometimes seem to suggest deviltry, al¬ though Evansville College has had no manifestation of this. Perhaps that is why she drives her newly acquired Ford with such vim and gusto. Mary puts all her troubles at the bottom of her heart and sits on the lid and smiles. f •� inii Mpi KiIdS REYNOLD C. PROPHETER Business Administration Business Administration Club; Jordan Science Club ' 25; German Club ’26-’27; Asa Gray Bo¬ tanical Club ’26-’27; S. G. A.: Treasurer ’26- ' 27; Executive Board ' 26-’27. How are the mighty fallen! Propheter has fallen hard all over the institution in various ways this year. Also Propheter has acquired a new interest this year—namely, girls’ basketball. Propheter is one of our hard Business Administration students _ who intends to enter business after graduation. He is an earnest student, but he is never too busy to miss a good time. We all wish him much success in wresting the mighty dollar from—anyone he wants to wrest it from. I rttinra T f rTTT T rn r n GERTRUDE RELLER History—English Theta Sigma; Woman’s Council; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet; Crescent Staff; Student Court; Pasteur Medical Society; Asa Gray Botanical Club; Agas¬ siz Club; Basketball ’23-’26. Gertrude is the little ray of sunshine of the class. She seeks to brighten the corner where she is. The rest of the students, however, are very unappreciative. They blame her for everything from misplaced Fords to rumors of the measles—true genius is always un¬ appreciated. Gertrude is so friendly and willing to lend a helping hand that we all like her very much. She is also a valued reporter for the Crescent and was one of the best guards on the girls’ championship team. ADELAIDE RICHARDSON Home Economics—History Sigournean: Secretary ' 24, Treasurer ’25, Vice-President ’26, President ’27; Thespian Dra¬ matic Society; Y. W. C. A.; Agassiz Club; Line Staff ’27. Adelaide’s patience with all the recalcitrant little boys and girls who didn’t want to get their pictures taken shows that she cannot help but be a successful school teacher. Adelaide is the girl we always call on when we want something well done—gastronomically or otherwise. She is also a very good student and belongs to the hard-hearted library staff. ESTHER RIETZ Home Economics—Science Castalian: Vice-President ’26, Prosecuting At¬ torney ’25-’26; German Club: President ’27; Athletic Board: Vice-President ’26; Thespian; Chorus; Basketball ’24- ' 27; Director Business Ad¬ ministration Club ’27. Esther is the athlete of the Senior class. She is interested in basketball, swimming, tennis, golf, and— any other kinds that there are. She is also the class beauty and is much interested in dramatics. Her sense of humor is strong enough to stand even the “underground railway” system of the class in Philoso¬ phy III. She has never yet refused to pick up any tired “Lincoln Avenue tramp” even though eight or ten may be only one minute off. Had she no other virtues, that one would be enough. C fll An If 91 puinrfi HERMAN SANDER History — Bible Philoneikean: President ' 25; Y. M. C. A.: President ’26-’27; Hospital Board; Student Court; Editor Crescent ’27; Agassiz, Club; Presi¬ dent; Thespian; Baseball ' 24-’25-’26. Herman is an all-round man—his athletic ability is not at all insignificant, his literary and scholastic attainments are at least above the average, and his activity on campus committees is simply prodigious. Some are born with the reforming instinct, some achieve it, and some have it thrust upon them. Her¬ man belongs to the first class. He goes “back to Eden” after finishing here and we wouldn’t be sur¬ prised if he instituted a few changes — even there. Friendliness, honesty, leadership and good humor are qualities that are rarely possessed by one person. Her¬ man has them all. ELMER E. SCHALLER Civil Engineering Engineers’ Club ’27-’27. Elmer, pride of the Engineering department, darling of the Gods and fortune’s favored child, is a prom¬ ising child of whom much is expected. He is a trusted part-time employee of the L. N. Railroad. He is not gifted alone in Engineering, being a reader of no mean worth. His pitiful rendition of “Is My Father in There?” to which the gruff bartender re¬ plies, No, child, don’t get pinched in the Swinging Door,” has brought a tear to many an eye. The rep¬ utation of old E. C. stands proudly so long as such a bright-eyed, versatile youth issues from her doors.

Russell used to live in Boonville, but his interests became so centered in Evansville that he finally moved here. He is a popular man and holds many posi¬ tions of trust. His interests have varied from base¬ ball to the S. G. A. presidency. Due to his intelligent looks and convincing manner, Russell has made many friends and good grades at E. C. Russell is a mem¬ ber of the famous Bachelor Club whose dark secrets and actions have frequently rocked the foundations of the college. rntora CLARENCE SOUTHERN English—History Football: Captain ’26; Press Club; Thespian Dramatic Society; Line Staff ’27; Baseball. Clarence is the little boy who asks so many dis¬ concerting questions in philosophy—and looks so very naive while he’s doing it that we aren’t sure he knows what it’s all about. He is also our star foot¬ ball player and after-dinner speaker. It is also rumored that he is an actor of no mean ability. In short, his philosophy of life is that there isn’t any¬ thing he couldn’t do if he wanted to—but there are so many things he doesn’t want to do ! He is going to be a writer by way of the English teacher route. Those who have read what he has written so far believe he cannot fail to obtain his heart’s desire— both of them. HAZEL SPRAGUE History—English Theta Sigma; Asa Gray Botanical Club. Hazel “toils not, neither does she spin.’’ She al¬ ways seems to be buzzing around but no one can ever find out just what it’s all about. Her friendly smile and cheerful greeting are so infectious that we feel much better after seeing her—and that’s a lot accomplished! Hers was the idea of the coon hunt and such thanks or recrimination as is—or was— go entirely to her. She thinks she is going to be a teacher—but sometimes we wonder ! VIRGINIA TORBET Chemistry—Mathematics Castalian: Vice-President, Critic, Prosecuting Attorney; Writers’ Club: Treasurer ’25-’26; Athletic Board: Treasurer ’27-’26; Literary Ed¬ itor Line ’27; Basketball ’23-’24; Asa Gray Botanical Club; Student Assistant in Chemistry. Virginia might have the reputation only of being the daughter of her father, but Virginia has such a distinct personality of her own that she is liked in our halls for her own sake. She has a quiet, Scotch ( ?) sense of humor, and we suspect that she is a constant reader of H. L. Mencken. Virginia, assisted by Dr. Strickler, forms the aristocracy for the pro¬ motion of interest in Chemistry — as well as being the crowning glory of the administration building. She is going to be original, in that she is not going to teach, but is going into industrial or physiological Chemistry instead. S’ntinrs HELEN WATSON History—English Sigournean; President Freshman Class ’20; Writers’ Club. When you want Helen—why, just look for Ernest! Helen is the adventurous member of the Senior class. She proved it by getting married and going to Alaska both at once. Then she came back (with Ernest) and joined our class and the library staff. The queer thing about Helen is the number of times she has gone to college and not gone to college! Helen can get A’s in Dr. Legg ' s multiple choice tests, and she is a fine friend and a good sport. WALTER WILSON History—Philosophy Photozetean: Chaplain ’2? ' ’26; Classical Club; Asa Gray Botanical Club. Walter is the “chameleon-like” person who looks like a hobo at ten o’clock and as a minister at ten- thirty. He never comes to chapel because he has to see to it that the chapel doesn’t get warm enough to soften the students — when any fool knows tijat it’s a hard, cold world after commencement! Walter is a very good student. This is proved by the fact that his class notes have a wide circulation. He is going to be a minister. He ought to be a good one. Walter has the valuable quality of being able to make friends of everyone — so that it doesn ' t matter much if he never gets rich. RUSSELL WYATT Business Administration Club. Russell has a great fondness for red hair—espec¬ ially when it belongs to one certain person. His nerve is unquestioned—for he married the red hair 1 He doesn’t stay around school much but works when he isn’t studying—a rare virtue indeed. He is one of fhe few German students who have ever talked any German. Even Herr Schmidt seems to understand him sometimes. I rainra ROY WYTTENBACH Business Administration Photozetean: Secretary ’25; Baseball; Basket¬ ball; Business Administration Club: Secretary ’24, Director; Student Manager Athletics; Sec¬ retary Junior Class ’26; Chairman S. G. A. Social Committee ’25; Agassiz, Club. Roy is Louis’ cousin. We really don’t know much about Roy. He isn’t noisy but he is always in a hurry and we often wonder why. He is in league with John D. Rockefeller just at present. Roy is cer¬ tainly not a ladies’ man which proves that this failing doesn’t run in the family. His two greatest passions seem to be baseball and business administration. He also played basketball once upon a time—and he wasn’t any dub at it either. LOUIS WYTTENBACH History—Chemistry Y. M. C. A.: Treasurer ’26- ' 27; Photozetean: President ’26, Vice-President ’26, Chaplain ’25; Athletic Board: Secretary, ’26-’27; German Club. Louis is Roy’s cousin. We know about him chiefly through Helen. “She loves me! She loves me not! She loves me! Not!” Helen and Louis get along exceptionally well except when they quarrel. They really don’t quarrel much, only about once a month. Louis is a conscientious student and everyone likes him. Even Miss Hardy has never had the heart to flunk him. His tenor voice is so bass that “Du Lieber Augustine” wouldn’t sound natural without it. He is also one of the few frequenters of the Chemistry labo¬ ratory who doesn’t work his tongue as fast as his hands. r ' 95 BlHBIlOBBIHlGiBBIIHiaBiBIBlBlHHBiKBrJBlIBIBBBlIHlBBBliHBBIOrailtaHIBMIM Major: Minor: JOHN R.

More than two thousand years ago in Ancient Rome, the May Festival was a tribute to Flora who, as Goddess of Flowers, protected the blossoms. I. The rites of the Priestesses. II. The ceremonial dance. Episode II. The Middle Ages found the joyous peasants of Europe hastening to the woods before dawn that the “May Tree” might be brought back at sunrise. This primitive May Pole became the center of the village festival which differed with the nations only in the character of its dances and games. I. Bringing in the “May.” II. Dances of the nations: French—Swedish—Dutch—Spanish—Scottish. Episode III. Fifteenth century Merrie England loved May Day as no other nation, and con ' sidered a permanent May Pole an essential on every village green. I. The choosing of the Queen. II. Morris Dances. III. The winding of the “May.” THE RECESSIONAL THE EINC m 123 77?e ' and dlffendands Hay 3ffattual At the stroke of midnight on the night of May day, the eerie notes of a flute and violin were heard on the still air of the campus. From the gymnasium came a weird procession. Headed by his Majesty May I (Fletcher Williams), the proces- sion of revelers wended their way to the campus in front of Administration Hall—- where classes and societies vied for imperial approval. On the royal dais raised above the green and so recently vacated by the May Queen, the King sat in judgment. Gigonless Ethiopians—whose color came off—- fanned him with snow shovels and coal scoops. Flower girls there were, whose knees as they capered about seemed to suggest doorknobs and whose dainty feet got all twisted up in their demure efforts to please. Dancing girls with lines like butrocks galloped about cunningly. The stunts were varied and interesting. The College student, beset by Al. K. Hall and Nick. O. Teen, two gangsters, was saved by W. C. T. U. The Flower Girls danced in 48 pound sacks. Student Conquered athletics, dramatics, forensics, and literary societies, only to be stabbed in the back by Mid Term grades. The spectators were thrilled by the boxing match between a 200 pounder and a 100 pounder—which was won by the little man with a knock ' out. As the hilarity died down, the old king knowing that he was to choose his successor, feebly asked the assemblage to pass in review before his throne. A hush fell on the crowd as the king care ' fully scrutinized each face that went by. Finally his sword fell lightly on the shoulder of Clarence Southern, football captaimelect, who was duly crowned by the bishop (Ora Brock). Hilarity again ran rampant in honor of the new king. But as the hour of midnight passed the enormous crowd died away—and soon darkness, unbroken by pajama clad revelers, held sway again.

It was a walkaway and yet it was to be expected. It was after all to be expected. These Sophomores who so sturdily upheld the cause of the upperclassmen against the in ' vading Freshmen were the same huskies who the year before had won the scrap as Freshmen. Then with a year of college intelligence added, it is no wonder that they won. The Freshmen fought, and fought hard, but they were not good enough. Even the teargas bombs they used proved ineffectual, the spectators getting the benefit (?) of most of it. The crowd was by far the largest that had ever witnessed an inter ' class struggle. The usual events were held, including the wheelbarrow race, the tire struggle, male and female tug ' of ' war and, finally, the pole rush. This was the most bitterly contested fight of the lot, but when the whistle blew the Soph colors were still flying and the scrap was over till 1927. Jnfiurftnn lay The annual induction of the Freshman class into the Student Government AssO ' ciation was held on October the twenty ' second as a part of the Home ' coming cele ' bration. The class had previously been instructed in the organization and purposes of the association, and was now considered capable of exercising the powers con ' ferred by membership in the organization and of cooperating with its officers in the furtherance of their ideals .

It is the College’s attempt to remind those who have gone before that though they may be gone they are not forgotten. The second annual Home-coming celebration was held on October the twenty- second and twenty-third. A much larger number of alumni was present than had been here at one time before. On Friday morning the Induction Day services for the admittance of the Freshmen into the Student Government was held. Friday night a bonfire was held on Stringtown hill—for those who could find it. Just before the bonfire, about a hundred and fifty students snake-danced down Mam Street—it is rumored that several just escaped death by violence at the hands of irate street car conductors. Friday afternoon a special edition of the Crescent appeared to advertise the game. Saturday morning the literary society stunt show was given in the chapel. The Theta Sigmas gave an up-to-date discovery of America—the costumes being the only un-up-to-date thing about the performance. The Philos presented a mock faculty meeting. It is quite evident that some students around this institution have been giving much deeper attention to the study of their professors than even the professors themselves suspected. The imitations were surprisingly life-like and the improvisations decidedly clever. They received honorable mention. The Sigourneans gave a skit entitled “Professor Gaudier and His Humano- phone.” Considerably more musical ability was displayed than other members of the student body had thought possible. Frances Pnbble made a very distinguished- looking director. The Castalians tried to scare everybody by presenting a Ghost Rally. It was hard to tell which was the most weird—the groans of the white-sheeted ghosts or the way these same sheets seemed to interfere with the action. The Photos carried off the prize by a burlesque of Uncle Tom’s Cabin—with Douglas Dixon as Fittle Eva. The happy ending was achieved in the face of many difficulties by making Fittle Eva dissatisfied with Heaven—and so she returned to earth bringing her wings with her. Saturday afternoon the game with Hanover came off—and Hanover failed en¬ tirely to realize the importance of our winning and took our scalps to the tune of 23 to 3. ’Nuf said! Saturday evening closed the day of joy and sadness—with joy masquerading as a Hallowe’en Pike. Confetti and cider, cats and guns, pretty girls and K. K. K.’s— all contributed to the amusement of the guests. And we wonder what happened to the barbecue!

The Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. acted as sponsors and prime movers of the production. The musical part of the presentation was directed by Professor Veh and the music was furnished by the Photo Orchestra. Miss LeCompte was in charge of the dramatic end of it. Compton Capel acted as stage manager, rope ' puller, cornet in the orchestra, part of the chorus, and anything else needed. Katherine Wolcott was supervisor of the entire pro ' duction—to the envy of the rest of Dr. Legg’s Philosophy 3 class. On the stage, gay Mexican men and beautiful Mexican damsels sang and coquet ' ted quite delightfully. The plot was one of love and mtrique in sunny Mexico and was exciting enough to please the most blase of audiences. Naomi Kohlmeier took the leading role and Frieda Woods the title role. Arthur Neu was Carlos, an outlaw; and Amos Boren and George Wright as an American millionaire and a smuggler, respectively, furnished the humor. if THE 1,1 NC IS m £3 24 m 131 ATHLETIC 133 COACH HARMON “Excelsior!” has been the motto of Coach Harmon in his four years of direction of E.

A basketball team was produced which had a right to claim the state championship. Tennis and golf were put on the intercollegiate competition list. A new stadium was erected for the new athletic field, on the campus which will be ready for use next fall. These are some of the things that have been accomplished under Coach Har¬ mon’s supervision during the past year. We are looking for still greater things from our mentor in the future.

They ran touchdowns around end, through center, and from passes. All of the men on the Purple squad saw action in this game although they lost their fight after the first few minutes. EVANSVILLE 14 CHARLESTON NORMAL 7 The Aces opened their home schedule with a victory over Charleston Normal. The game was bitterly contested throughout, the Aces having the best of the argu- ment both on offense and defense “Soc” Dick sp rang into the limelight by making two touchdowns. EVANSVILLE 7 ROSE POLY 6 The second game at home resulted in a second victory for the Purple, time the victim was Rose Poly and the tune was 7 to 6. This made the straight victory of the Aces over Rose Poly in as many years. FRANKLIN 23 EVANSVILLE 3 Franklin downed the Aces in their home-coming in a good game the story of which is not told by the score. The Aces were into the game from start to finish and had the breaks against them. Southern made several long runs in this game and counted for the only score for his team by a place kick from the field. 137 £2 £2 P y. m HANOVER 8 The Aces lost a slippery contest to the Hilltoppers at Enlow stadium in the an ' nual meeting of the two teams. The Aces played very poorly and let Hanover score on their fumbles. EVANSVILLE 9 ROLLA SCHOOL OF MINES 32 Rolla ran rough shod over the Purple and White in a 32 to 9 victory in a game that resembled a boxing or wrestling match. The use of elbows, lists, knees and feet in slugging and kicking was “quite the thing” in this game and caused the game to be very uninteresting and unsportsmandike. EVANSVILLE 3 DANVILLE NORMAL 14 Evansville played brilliant ball at times in the game with Danville and outclassed them in all departments of the game except that they failed in the necessary punch to carry the ball over the goal line. They were repeatedly stopped on the goal line after carrying the ball for the entire length of the field by scrimmage. EVANSVILLE 0 BOWLING GREEN 61 The last game of the season was rather disastrous for the Purple and White. Bowling Green started with a rush and after completely routing the Aces, ran touch ' downs at will for the remainder of the game. THE EINC 138 I fottpr Hint CAPTAIN CLARENCE SOUTHERN—Halfback Clarence has played his second and last year for the Purple and a good man has passed from our midst. Southern featured the season by his flasky open-field running and his passing. He was Evansville’s most consistent ground gainer. CAPTAIN-ELECT FRANK LANG—Guard “Cowboy” plays a smashing game in the line and gives the opposition plenty to worry about. He played part of the season in the backfield although he is better in the iine. Lang always keeps the spirit of the team going and should lead the Aces to a successful season next year. RUPERT ROTH—Tackle “Dutch” has the honor of being the first man to make four letters in football at E. C. He was captain of the team during his third year and has been a bulwark on the defense during his four years on the varsity. JOHN FEIGEL—Quarterback Johnny is the utility man of the Aces. He has earned three football letters, playing in a different position each year. During his first year he played center, last year he played end, and this season he took up the responsibilities of quarterback. T. REA—End “T” started the season in the backfield but was shifted to end late in the season and seemed to feel more at home. He has one more year to play with the Aces. WALTON WHEELER—End “Henna” came here from Purdue where he attended school during his Freshman year. He is big and rangy and stopped the little boys with ease. With another year of experience Red will ' be a valuable man on the Purple squad. WILLIAM FRITSCH—Backfield “Bill” is a fast backfield runner who always ran as though he were going some place, played quarterback in several games and generalled the team in good shape. THE EINC 139 ,1 £2 m £2 m E2 Another of our numerous ends. “Wiggie” is a Freshman this year and has plenty of “stuff,” lacking a bit in experience. He is always on his toes and he always delivers the goods. CHARLES HUFNAGEL—Guard “Dutch” went over, under and through the line and gave the opposing backfield something to worry about. He played next to his running mate, Connie, and together they put up an unbeatable defense. WILLIAM ALLEN—Center “Bill” played center and guard and was always known for his ability to get through the line where there was no hole to go through. He made all-state in high school and is still going strong. EDGAR SCHAEFER—Backfield “Nookie” is a track man who uses his speed to good advantage in a football uniform. Whenever he got away he would run like a rabbit and no person was very likely to tackle him from behind. ROBERT DAVIS—End Bob played a smashing game at end even though he is rather light. He played part of this season with a cracked rib and also had a broken nose during the season. CONRAD ROSE—Tackle “Connie” was the big boy that was continually breaking through the line and grabbing the man with the ball. He also made his share of the holes on offense and the backs would go through where Connie showed the way. LEWIS COOKSEY—Center Cooksey took care of the pivot position and was always in the midst of the battle. Cooksey sometimes got real mad and then it was just too bad for the opposition. THE EINC 140 f THE EINC WILBUR HILGEDIECK—Backfield “Hilgie” was small but he used every pound he had when he went through the line. He always had plenty of pep and fight to make up for his lack of size. ARTHUR DICK—Backfield “Soc” was the hardest hitting man on the Aces. He went through the line repeatedly for good gains and also made several spectacular broken-field runs during the season. CARLYSLE STOLTZ—Guard Stoltz was always on the job in the middle of the line where the smoke was generally thickest. He has several more years to play and will be one of the mainstays of the Aces next year. RICHARD WILLIAMS—End Dick is fast and knew how to use his speed. He took many long passes and made good gains on them. He often helped the Purple offense by his ability to catch passes. RAY HOLLIS—Center Ray was one of the smallest men on the team but he was also one of the best fighters on the squad. Although he only played in several full games he was the only center who stayed eligible for the entire season. He took his pep with him to practice as well as to a game which cannot be said of many football players. ROBERT DICKMAN—Tackle Bob is a big boy who takes care of the tackle position like an old-timer. He hasn’t had a great deal of experience but he will be a valuable man for the Aces next season. 141 142 HliailHIlHBBIBlBBIHiaiaiiaiiaaBHBKBrilHlBBBBIIBIBIiailHIligHpEBHIlHIBBB 3 Athlrtinv (From the Viewpoint of a Fan) The athletic fans of Evansville were furnished some mighty fine sport in the line of football and basketball by the Evansville College teams. Much credit is due to Coach Harmon for this diversion. It is true that the winning streak did not follow the football squad as much as it did the wonderfully fast basketball team; however, the game vs. Rose Poly Tech, was worth the price of a season ticket. Never in the history of football was there a better game played. Captain Southern and his cohorts battled against odds to a final score of 7-6 in favor of the Aces and if any of you have ever seen that Rose Poly bunch play—knowing how the sting of defeat would stay with them—you can fully appreciate the accomplishment of our team. The results in some of the other games played during the season do not truly reflect the good work of Coach Harmon’s men. In many instances they were pitted against heavier and more experienced men, and even though the odds were much in favor of the opponents at times, the fighting spirit of the Aces never ceased. We predict more favorable results in the scoring line for our team next season. Basketball!—swish!—swish! Sweet music to the ears of thousands of spectators that thronged Agoga Tabernacle during the games of October—till “taps” were soun ded in the early Spring. The opposition was much stronger than it had ever been. Wabash came to conquer but returned home, carrying with them a record of two losses. The proud and fighting team from Georgia Tech also left us carrying the little end of the score. Have you ever seen Vanderbilt? A fine group of youngsters they were, only able, however, to register 22 against our score of 37. Later on, in an overtime tilt on their own floor they managed to forge ahead with 2 points to the good, and so down the line until we struck Butler, once in Indianapolis and once in Evansville. To the average fan these games were the supreme efforts of the Aces and while it looked many times as if defeat was hovering closely around, the determination and fighting spirit of Coach Harmon permeated the veins of every Ace to the point of giving their all. The final score was 25-23 on the Butler floor, in favor of the Aces and 35-27 at the home of the Aces. The season of 1926-27 met the full demands of every person interested in the success of Evansville College athletics. THE LINC I 143 THE ACES AT PRACTICE—AGOGA TABERNACLE RESUME OF GAMES ACES 61 McKENDREE 38 The Aces opened their schedule on the home floor by taking McKendree into camp in a lop-sided sort of affair. The purple machine worked with as good speed and accuracy as though it were mid-season. ACES 29 WABASH 24 The Little Giants came to Evansville after a victorious trip in which they de¬ feated Northwestern, Iowa, and other such teams but were turned back by the Evansville quintet in the first battle by a 29 to 24 score. ACES 30 WABASH 24 Again the Little Giants came to conquer but were sent away with the short end of the score. The Evansville team was going at its best which is generally good enough. ACES 38 GEORGIA TECH. 36 After trailing the entire game the Georgia Tech, team started a rally toward the end which came very near to overtaking the Aces. However, they managed to keep a bare margin until the final whistle. r £2 £5 E3 m m £3 VANDERBILT 22 Vanderbilt came next and was turned back by a 37 to 22 score. This game was featured by poor marksmanship on the part of both teams. ACES 21 FRANKLIN 45 The first defeat of the season was suffered at the hands of the Franklin Baptists New Year’s Eve. The Baptists hit them from all angles and the Aces couldn’t quite keep up. ACES 24 FRANKLIN 29 The next night the Aces were a great deal better but they couldn’t keep up this time either. Evansville started a rally late in the second half which gave the Baptists plenty to worry about but time ended the fracas while Franklin still held the lead. ACES 25 BUTLER 23 The first real game of the season was played with Butler at Indianapolis. The game was nip and tuck throughout, each team leading at different stages of the game. The Aces made two field goals in the last two minutes and cinched the victory by two points. ACES 21 CARBONDALE NORMAL 18 The Purple and White next took a three-days’ road trip on which they defeated Carbondale, St. Louis U., and McKendree. They defeated Carbondale in the first game by a close score in a fiercely fought battle. ACES 53 ST. LOUIS 13 affair. The next night the Aces walked all over St. Louis in a onesided sort of an ACES 35 McKENDREE 26 The Aces met and defeated McKendree on their own floor the third night by a 35 to 26 score. The game was fast with each team going at top speed. ACES 35 BUTLER 27 Butler’s Bulldogs came to Evansville with their minds and hearts set on aveng¬ ing their earlier defeat at the hands of the Aces but the Aces were going at top speed and turned them back with another defeat. This game was interesting through¬ out and the Aces didn’t get a safe lead until just before the end of the game. THE EINC I I ACES 47 ST. LOUIS 13 St. Louis again met the Aces and were given a severe drubbing on the Agoga floor. The Aces couldn’t get started at flrst and the second team played a good part of the game. Toward the end of the game, however, the ball started going through the basket so fast that it made the Missourians’ heads swim. ACES 44 VANDERBILT 46 The Aces suffered their third defeat at the hands of Vanderbilt on the latter’s floor in an over-time contest. The Purple led at the half 24 to 14 and led all during the second half until the last two minutes when Vanderbilt tied the score with a field goal and a foul. In the over-time period Vanderbilt got three field goals while the Aces could garner only two. ACES 36 BOWLING GREEN 11 Bowling Green was badly off form when they came to Evansville and missed easy shots under the basket. As a result they were given the short end of a severe drubbing. ACES 26 HANOVER 15 In the last game of the season the Aces met Hanover and defeated them 26 to 15. The Aces played at their best especially on defense. Hanover didn’t get any shots to speak of and consequently couldn’t score.

REA—Forward “T” has played three years on the Aces and has one more year in which to do his ‘“stuff.” He plays a good floor game and ranked third in the state in individual scoring for the year. RALPH REA—Forward “Tails” is a clever floor man and a master dribbler. He is the man around which the Purple machine worked during the past season. He made the all-state first team. DOYLE GARDNER—Forward “Dugie” is a fast little flash who baffles his opponents by his clever dribbling and passing. He is a Sophomore this year and will be with the Aces two more years. WESLEY ABEL—Backguard “Abe” is one of the best guards in the state and continually breaks up plays under the basket. He also helps his team a great deal on the offense, a thing rarely seen among backguards. FRANK LANG—Guard “Cowboy” is always characterised by his fight and determination. He also gives his opponents plenty to worry about when they are trying to score. He is a Sopho¬ more and has two more years of varsity competition. RICHARD WILLIAMS—Guard “Dick” is a consistent man and was very valuable to the Aces in several games this year. He is fast on the floor and has a good eye for the basket. WALTON WHEELER—Center “Sam Henna Red” Wheeler is a long and rangy boy and showed his “stuff” in se veral of the games this year. He was the only man on the Purple squad who could practically assure us of the tip-off. HARRY KNEIPP—Forward Harry did not finish the season on account of an infection in his knee which put him out just before the second Hanover game. Harry played practically all of the second Butler game after Gardner went out on fouls in the first few minutes and gave a good account of himself. THE EINC 148 teaiaiiaiBiHieiiiaiiHiHBim GiniggE fTifr- ahp dirla’ iRmirii The College Aces, one of the strongest combinations of the city teams, lost only two games during the season. Although they began the season with only three regulars from last year, a wealth of material came out for the squad. The gaps were filled by three Freshmen who soon were found to be of utmost value to the defense of the team. The first to fall beneath the strong attack of the team were Porters. The game was a walkaway in which Rietz and Siegel showed their uncanny abilities to hit the loop. The strong defense of the team was shown against Swans Down. Although the College girls never trailed their opponents the margin was small. Captain Lytle who played only the last few minutes of the game added the needed fight. First Baptist won the following contest by one point. Our girls were crippled in this game since both Captain Lytle and Rietz were out, but those taking their places played a brilliant game. In one of the smoothest games of the season St. Mark’s was taken into camp. Basket shooting and floor work were especially commendable. An enthusiastic crowd cheered the E. C. team on to victory over the fast Lock ' year quintet. The Lockyear forwards could not break the strong defense of the College guards. Rietz was the high scorer of the season. However, many of her points could the past two years, “City Champs,’’ since they defeated the Aces in the following game by three points. Reitz, was the high scorer of the season. However, many of her points could not have been made had it not been for her runningmiate, Kroening, who was second for scoring honors. Although Captain Lytle was missed in the first part of the season during the latter part she ably assisted Welborn and Hasseries in their strong defense. Much can be said as to Davidson’s ability as both forward and guard. Only two regulars are lost this year because of graduation, Rietz and Lytle, and the prospects are promising for another winning team next year. THE LINC 151 1 IBHIMBHIIM HaakrtbaU ®trla ALICE LYTLE This is Captain’s last year. She has been a whiz, of a basketball player and although she has been unable to play in all the games she has done her share for E. C. We wish you luck, Alice. ESTHER RIETZ A Senior, and high point player, Rietz has played three years for E. C. and we’ll miss her. MARY DAVIDSON Although she’s only a Freshman, she will turn things upside down next year. She plays a good, clean game at either forward or guard. LOUISE KROENING Forward and running mate of Rietz. She adds her goals to E. C.’s score at the most opportune time. We expect much from her next year. DOROTHY WELBORN As fast a player as E. C. has. She’s always there and she sticks like glue. IMOGENE DAVIS One who thinks her game through. Imogene is there when she is needed. Fortunately she is a Sophomore. MARY FLO SIEGEL No matter what happens she’s there with a smile. She plays real basketball as either forward or guard. VERNA HASSERIES She’s from Bosse! Her idea of sportsmanship is great—in her plays one sees it. That’s why she’s consistent. 152 SUMMARY OF GAMES Evansville. 3 Bethel . 8 at Russellville, Kentucky Evansville. 3 Bowling Green . 6 at Bowling Green, Kentucky Evansville. 8 Bowling Green . 7 at Bowling Green, Kentucky Evansville. 3 Bryson ... 2 at Fayetteville, Tennessee Evansville. .... 13 Bryson ... 8 at Fayetteville, Tennessee Evansville. 3 Tennessee Normal .. 9 at Murfreesboro, Tennessee Evansville. .... 10 Tennessee Normal .. 3 at Murfreesboro, Tennessee Evansville.. 3 Bowling Green _ 5 at Evansville Evansville. 4 Bowling Green . 24 at Evansville Evansville . 4 Bowling Green _ 5 at Evansville Evansville. 4 Oakland City .. 9 at Evansville Evansville . 5 Oakland City .. 6 at Evansville Evansville. 2 DePauw . 15 at Greencastle 154 CAPTAIN RUSSELL SPRINGSTUN—Pitcher “Springer” is a first-rate pitcher although he had a lot of tough luck this year. He has piloted the Aces for two years and is captain-elect for next year. Such popularity must be deserved. HERMAN SANDER—Catch Herman keeps up the pep from behind the bat. He always played a consistent game and some good hitting. RUSSELL SIMPSON—Second Base Simpson is an infielder of rare ability and is also a very consistent batter. He has played with the Aces three years and has taken care of several of the infield positions in neat style. CHARLES TISMAR—Outfielder “Charlie” played his second year with the Aces in the outfield. He worked on the mound during his first season but on account of a plentiful supply of pitchers this year, he filled one of the garden positions. ROY WYTTENBACH—Outfielder “Wyt” batted as lead-off man during most of this season. Although not a slugger he came through for a good many safe hits. Roy has snatched the flies in center field for three years for the Aces. THE EINC MMHHMIEIIM JOHN KUSTER—Outfielder Kuster is a consistent outfielder and generally took care of the left garden in good shape He did the most sensational fielding of the year in the first game of the season with Bethel. RALPH REA—Pitcher—Short Stop “Tails manages to use his brain as well as his brawn while on the mound and outguesses many a batter. When not on the mound he is generally found at short-stop position. CLARENCE SOUTHERN—Pitcher—Short Stop “Clarencie shoves them past the batters in great fashion and brought the bacon home several times for the Aces this season. Southern also plays at short stop part of the time. LAWRENCE OHL—First Base Stumpy has held down the position at first sack for three years and always turns in a neat of fielding. His batting this year was better than it generally is and he was a good asset : Aces. RUSSELL GARRETT—Third Base “Russ is the slugger of the Aces. He bats as clean-up man and generally garners a couple of hits per game. Garrett plays third base and stops the hard ones and easy ones alike. 156 jj THE LINO mm 157 TENNIS The John Harmon and Bill Doak trophies were won this year by Helen Kramer and “Tails” Rea. Miss Kramer defeated Esther Rietz in the finals of the Girls’ Singles and “Tails” defeated John Feigel in the finals of the Men’s Singles. The Men’s Doubles were won by Charles Tismar and Mark Lockwood who defeated T. Rea and Paul Gregg in the finals. Helen Kramer and Helena Weil found very little opposition in the Girls’ Doubles and easily copped the title. Helena Weil and “Tails Rea won the Mixed Doubles by defeating Charles Tismar and Esther Rietz in the finals of the tourney. aiaEHHiaM fl HHKMIHIflIHHHH Did you once sit, tense, far into the night, Waging old battles, setting worlds aright?

And as I watch them—idly dreaming so— They burn upon my heart and mind your name. Then red fades from the fire and is a moon, Hung in a sky of softest, darkest blue That in those fragrant, starry nights of June Dips in the river’s deeper, liquid hue. Arched boughs of green leaves overhang the road, Which in the shimmering moonlight glistens too. And in my mem’ry takes a firm abode A way I used to travel, dear, with you. —J. M. L.

What ' s in a dress? Is it just the silk and lace, the cloth and buttons and the careful stitches? That ' s only half of it. There is a kind of aura about dresses which makes them live, which seems to absorb all the things that happen to you, and to create of them gossamer mists of memories. And if you take out your frocks at night and hold them one by one in the moonlight, you can see the mists of memories. Sometimes they are pink, and gold, and silver, and all gray colors. Sometimes they are dull, and drab, and sorrowful. They are gay when you have had good times in your dresses; they are sorrowful when you have not enjoyed your- self. They are seldom drab. Few of mine are. My old tweed knickers have, perhaps, the nicest mist. They have been worn and worn, until a button is missing from one hip, and the china silk lining, of which I was so proud, is torn. But the mist that clings to these knickers has in it the gold of October sunshine and dusty goldenrod, the lure of autumn roads, and the pungent smell of bonfire smoke. It has the crispness of pale spring sunshine, the green of new grass, and fresh blue of early spring skies. It has all the heat of summer suns as well as the calm of starlit nights. I have but to shut my eyes and feel the rough tweed where the button is missing and remember the time when the car caught fire and we just escaped being burned to death. I have only to feel the torn lining and remember gay scrambling over fences or falls down hills. Then there’s a little blue taffeta dress with row on row of silver lace and impertinent cherry velvet bows. Its mist is blue and gold and crimson and has in it the gayety of merry music and dancing feet. It has laughter and lightheartedness and singing, and one or two special memories that are like stars in the silver and crimson mist. My blue frock’s sister is white chiffon over flowered taffeta. It is more sophisticated than its younger sister, and its mist is of pale shining gold, broken only by gay ribbons and rosebuds that will not be cool and behaved. Its mist has in it the cool shimmer of moonlight on water, and the beauty of an old-fashioned southern garden. It has also the music of a beautiful harp, and the dullness of drawing rooms, and smug, uninteresting, grown-up people. The youngest sister is black velvet. It tries hard to be grown-up and sophisticated but is quite discouragingly youthful and naive. Its mist is soft and rosy, and it has in it the warmth of fireplaces, the smell of paste and the silver of scissors. It has the charm of snow and clear cold nights and the roughness of an overcoat to keep one warm. The moonlight has a fascinating effect on dresses, don’t you think? It shows you mists you had never seen. There ' s my thin, tall green dress, like the stem of a daffodil. Its mist is cool like the dress itself, because none of its memories are especially striking. A crisp, billowy pink organdy has a mist that is bigger than the dress itself. It is full of lights, bright ones, soft ones, starlight, moonlight, and sunlight, and pink roses. Then there ' s a blue sport dress, and a white one whose mists are just bursting with tennis rackets and balls, and ukeleles and motor cars. An old pongee t hat will be thrown away this summer has a watery mist of sandy beaches and green water, wading, and bacon broiled over a fire on the beach. And there are a very few new frocks, whose mists are only the soft glow of anticipation, because they have not yet had time to grow memories. It is such fun, when you are lonesome and want something to do, to take out your nicest dresses and examine their mists. It is strange, but you find that you remember everything that has happened while you were wearing them. I think it is because, while the dresses we wear every day have mists too, they have become faint because we live with them all the time. Reading mists of frocks is just as exciting as reading a fascinating book. I think it is more so because you can make your own mists, while someone else must write the books. —M. H.

Like all of the other flowers this type begins its growth with a tiny shoot, very important looking and quite green. Also like the beginnings of other flowers, the first growth promises much, but the promises are vague. Will it grow tall and stately or will it be short and plain? Will the plant be an interesting, attractive bit of nature or will it be dull and insignificant? Will the blossoming be gorgeous and rich, or drab and dull? The outcome is never certain until the last infinitessimal growth has been completed. In fact, the only thing at all certain about this development is that the next change will be the one least expected. The flower of womanhood is a little like all flowers to be sure, but most of all it is like the hardy perennial that returns in its season, be it spring, fall or winter, with a new zest and vigor. After each hard winter or drought it holds up its head proudly, defying mere circum¬ stances to crush it. With each return there is a new blossoming, and this blossom of womanhood can be a “wondrous thing.” May the caretakers in God ' s garden bear with the eccentricities and wilfulness of this species, and give it every opportunity to grow and develop so that its blossom may be truly wonderful. —F. W. II. THE SONG OF A TYPEWRITER It is at this time of the year that one particularly notices the approach of Spring. The little green citizens come peeping through the brown earth, saying, “Let us have some part in the opening of Spring ; the song of the meadowlark is heard in the distance, the call of a robin to his mate, the song of the Kill-dee, Kill-dee high in the heavens. Everything seems to be singing a song of welcome—and when I walk through the hall on this morning I hear a beautiful song. Perhaps some would not call it beautiful, but to me it is just as beautiful and just as appeal¬ ing as the song of a bird. You wonder what this is? To some it is merely a piece of mechanism called the typewriter, to others just mere keys to be punched and pounded on in order to print a few words upon paper, but to me it has a message in its music. The click, click, click: the tap, tap, tap, is forming a beautiful melody into one of the greatest orations that was ever spoken by man. Now you can hear the major tones pealing forth a pardon from the President to a mother who has been praying so long for the release of her son. Again we can hear the trills, the running water of “The Brook,” which is perhaps to be considered one of our greatest poems. Now the click, click, and we hear the chromatic singing of the winds whistling through tree-tops and the soft wind blowing over the meadows, whispering “Wake-up, wake-up for Spring is here. Now the sweet minor tones which play upon the senses of sadness and melancholy, now the major vibrations which turn you from this feeling of sadness into ecstasy, lightness and happiness. At last the tap, tap, tap, is dying away quietly and peacefully just as the beautiful sun, when his day ' s work is done, sinks into undisturbed slumber behind a cloud. —E. W.
