It is our hope that the images caught and bound here: of work and play, of friends and classmates, and of grad¬ uates, may only deepen and make richer the memories of our Alma Mater as the years pass by. -J ; 1 r — ' r r With the most sincere apprecia- T tion for the steadfast friend, whose loyalty, sympathy, and understand¬ ing have been most apparent in this, his first year with us, and confident of the future of Evans¬ ville College, which is in his hands; we, the staff, hereby dedi¬ cate this 1928 volume of the LinC to our President. —EARL ENYEART HARPER. J - ' ' T T ' AA I He was a seer. He had that rare ability of visualizing what ought to be before it was. This made it pos- sible for him before all others to catch the vision of Evansville Col¬ lege. Even after the vision had be¬ come clear to him others could not see it and had no faith that such a vision could become a reality. Doctor Clifford never wavered. To him more than to any other one person in all the world Evansville College stands as a monument. He dreamed the dream; he blazed the trail; his faith made all things possible.’’ .« - ? “Go forth under the open sky, and list to nature’s teachings.” i f mam z I “When Youth and Pleasure meet To chase the glowing hours with flying feet.” s ? on its shelves a great wealth of valuable mate- rial for the student.” i J 7 “All—have been impressed with its beauty and com¬ pleteness.” r— A 3 ZZ k t; ,il ; n � f I i OFFICERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES President.

Although he has only been with us one year, that year has been enough to reveal the courage, loyalty, and perseverance of our new President and friend, and to assure us that his warm en¬ thusiasm and splendid intellectual ideals will carry on our standards, and help us realize our aspirations for Evansville College. Charles Edgar Torbet Dean of the College. A.B., M.A., Ohio Wesleyan University. Dean of our college, since its opening, he knows more than anyone else about Evansville College, and all the people connected with it. He is the one, whose sympathetic guidance has been responsible for overcoming so many of the obstacles and troubles which have been encountered throughout the growth of the college. We express ourselves best by quoting from a recent talk by our past president, Dr. Alfred F. Hughes, when he said, I like my new position, but I have no Dean Torbet.” Wahnita DeLong Dean of Women; Associate Professor of English. A.B., Ohio Wesleyan Uni¬ versity; M.A., Ohio State University. In her four years as Dean of Women, she has done much to foster a spirit of friendship and democracy. She has set before us the highest standard of cultured womanhood, and her ideals and hopes for the women of the college have been an inspiration to all of us. 22 Henry Jewell Bassett Professor of Latin and Greek.

Julia Mason Lang This year marks the successful beginning of the Evansville College Choir, an organization of care¬ fully selected, well-trained students, under the direction of Professor Herbert L. Heidecker, established through the efforts of President Harper. Although a young organization, the choir has earned a fine repu¬ tation for itself, and it has great possibilities for development in the future. The choir has represented the school on various occasions, giving concerts in conjunction with lec¬ tures by the President, both in Evansville and in surrounding towns, and several times over the radio. It gives programs of a religious nature, as well as secular music of the highest type; the compositions are chosen from different periods and nationalities, and are thoroughly memorized for public presentation.

The Thespians received much favorable comment concerning their in¬ terpretation of the difficult situations of the play. The first appearance of the society was made Home Coming Day when “The Widow O’ Wasdale Head” and “The Dollar” were produced, the latter directed by a member of the society. “Eager Heart”, a lovely English play, was presented as the annual Christmas festival with the cooperation of the College Choir. A number of one-act plays were produced during the year, among them; “The Christening Robe”, “Pater Noster”, “The Marriage Proposal”, and “The Way the Noise Began”. These plays were directed by members of the society as part of their designated work. “THE MARRIAGE PROPOSAL” UNIVERSITY OF EVANSVILLE LIBRARIES, V l THETA SIGMA LITERARY SOCIETY Martha Boren, Leona Busch, Cynthiann Fennel, Ruth Hopkins, Marguerite Hunt, Ruth Kinne, Margaret Miller.

Motto —Find a Way or Make One The Photos began the year with several parties for freshman men and also spon¬ sored joint meetings with other societies throughout the year. However, their crowning social event was the formal dinner, held at the Hotel McCurdy, a success in every respect. Photos distinguished themselves in athletics, oratory, debating, and dramatics. The society captured first place for its stunt on Homecoming Day, bringing the cup into its possession by virtue of having won the prize for three consecutive years. That achievement of which Photos are proudest, however, is the high degree of fraternal spirit among its members. 49 CASTALIAN LITERARY SOCIETY Carolyn Atkins, Elma Barenfanger, Katherine Engelsmann, Ruth Gray, Marion Link Huck, Naomi Huegel, Jewett McDonald, Hayes McCollom, Elizabeth Loetzerich, Naomi Kohlmeier, Ruth Huegel.

The twenty-third anniversary of the founding of the society, at Moore’s Hill College, was celebrated February 3, 1928. Each year the Castalians make their dinner for the football men of the school a gala affair. This year the banquet, under the direction of Frances Welborn, chairman of the social committee, was a huge success. Another high spot in the Castalian social calendar was the formal dinner on March 31. Bettye Lou Tolliver was in charge of arrangements. 51 SIGOURNEAN LITERARY SOCIETY Edrie Mae Dailey, Mary Davidson, Evelyn Diefendorf, Helen Hughes, Naomi Knell, Mary Louise Kraft, Julia Masoi Lang, Helen Maier, Mary Louise Mann.

One of the most important social events of the year is the annual Sigournean formal dinner at the Evansville Country Club, held this year to celebrate the seventy- second birthday of the society. It is the ambition of all Sigourneans to live up to the high ideals that have been set by past members; the high degree to which they have succeeded is shown by their accomplishments. 53 PHILONEIKEAN LITERARY SOCIETY Scholarship, Loyalty, Service, Fraternity Maurice Abel William Hughes Wesley Abel Douglas Keefe Claude Abshier Weigand Kneer Leroy Baldwin Harry Kneipp Emmanuel Baugh Alvin Knowles La Verne Becknell Frank Lang Arnold Berger Louis Lockwood Clare Boren Allen Mangold Alvin Brandenberger Leon Mooradian Harry Bristow Ludson Morris Louise Cooksey William Newlin Robert Davis Lawrence Ohl Arthur Dick Rufus Putnam John Feigel Ralph Rea Leland Feigel Thomas Rea Dallas Fickas Luther Small Theodore Spitzmiller William Fritsch Beniamin Vaupel Doyle Gardner J Herman Watson Byron J.

The social activities for the year include an informal banquet at the Y. W. C.

The Gamma Delta Literary Society was organized this year for freshman girls. In order that its members might have the friendly contacts of a small group, the society has been divided this year into three units—Alpha, Beta, and Kappa. Each unit has had as advisors two upperclass girls. The units meet every other Tuesday for a literary program. These programs have had as special features talks given by upperclassmen and members of the faculty. The two outstanding events in the social program this year were the informal supper for the girls in the gym, November 11, and the formal dinner which was held at the Y. W. C.

She has never hesitated to give amply of her time and energy and to make the best use of her artistic ability for the benefit of her classmates. In large part, the success of the ’28 LinC is a credit to her unusual literary ability. DONALD M.

And what’s more, everyone likes Donald—the sincere, witty fellow who does everything with such vim and success —a smile, a Scotch accent, a determined air and lots of ability—and that’s Donald Paton. 61 DELORAH ALLEN History—English, French Chorus ’25-’26; Education Club. Delorah is another one whom we’re glad to welcome back into our graduating class after some absence. Her quiet charm has made us all her friends. C. LaVERNE BECKNELL Business Administration Philo; Student Government Association: Presi¬ dent ’27-28’, Judge Student Court ' 24-’25; Thes¬ pian Dramatic Society: Treasurer ' 26, President ’27; Junior Class: Secretary and Treasurer ’26’- ' 27; Business Administration Club; Director ’25- ’26-’27; Line Staff ’28. The chapel platform will miss Beck, we know— Beck presiding at S. G. A. meetings, welcoming distinguished visitors in behalf of the student body, or Beck playing the stern judge and sen¬ tencing trembling criminals—doing any one -of the things he’s called upon to do efficiently and PAUL BENDER Arts Engineering Photozetean; Engineer’s Club. Paul is one of the quieter members of our class. Like many quiet people, however, he is a very de¬ pendable fellow. Perhaps some of Paul’s engi¬ neering brothers might be able to disclose some more intimate facts about him, such as his weak¬ ness for ladies, although one would hardly dis¬ cern this failing behind that subdued bachelor look of his. well. REVUS BLACK Electrical Engineering Engineer’s Club: President ’28; Photozetean: Vice President ’27-’28; Band ’26-’27-’28; Y. M. C. A. Revus is another one of us who isn’t satisfied with being or doing just one thing. Out for everything, Revus has managed to master it all. He’s all right— 62 S Sigournean: Chaplain ’27, Vice-President ’27- ' 28; Circulation Manager of the Crescent ’25- ’26; Editor of the Students’ Handbook for ’26-’27 and ’27-’28; Chairman of the Decorum Com¬ mittee 27-’28; Crescent Publishing Board ’27- ’28; Vice-President Women’s Council ’26-’27; Y. W. C. A. Treasurer ’25-’26, Vice-President ’27-’28; Thespian. It isn’t Edrie Mae’s fault that we’re not all angels. As chairman of the Decorum Committee she did her best to make us behave as ladies and gentlemen should. But then it’s characteristic of Edrie to do her best in everything she under¬ takes. WALTER F. DEEG Biology—History Agassiz Club; Pasteur Medical Society; German Club. Deeg is a scientist in our midst, although he’s equally ready and willing to tackle anything else that comes up. He’s a good worker and we wish him success. OMER L. DEWEESE Civil Engineering Co-Op Club. Here’s one man in our class who has already a monument to his ability. Omer had charge of the construction of our stadium—not a bad be¬ ginning for a civil engineer. OSBORNE FISHBACH History—Latin Asa Gray Botanical.Club; Agassiz Club; Y. M. C. A.; Classical Club. Osborne’s the tall fellow with the light hair who knows all our history books from cover to cover. He’s a good student and a gentleman is Osborne Fishbach. 63 MIRIAM HARDY Latin—French, English Thespian ’27-’28; Writers’ Club ' 28; French Club: President ’27; Line Staff ’27; Agassiz Club ’26; Classical Club ’26; James T. Copeland Memo¬ rial Award in Latin: 2nd prize ’26, 1st prize ’27. Another red-head with a sunny disposition— and what a passion for Latin. But, whether it was work or play, Latin or French, Miriam has done each as well and unsparingly as the other. MAUDE R. HETZEL English—History Chorus ’25 Although Maude has not been with us all the time during our four years, she has come back to graduate with us. Maude is a real student, for she is a lover of books and an energetic worker. WILLIAM L. HUGHES Biology—Bible Philo: Chaplain ’25-’26; Agassiz Club ’25-’26; Chairman of Student Decorum Committee ’26- ’27; Vice-President Y. M. C. A. ’26-’27; President Pasteur Medical Society ’26-’27; Assistant to Dr. Bigney; Crescent Staff ’27-’28; Vice-President College Choir: ’27-’28; Asa Gray Botanical Club ' 26 - 21 . Bill Hughes—but everybody knows Bill. He’s the one who fairly lives in the biology lab— when he’s not singing with the choir, working on the Crescent, or carrying out his other ac¬ tivities. Know anyone who dislikes Bill? We don’t. FREDERICK HULVERSHORN Business Administration Photozetean: President ’27; Director Business Administration Club; Crescent Staff ’28; Asa Gray Botanical Club; Baseball. Fritz—whether he’s managing Photo’s or Business Ads seems to get along all right. Noth¬ ing, not even history, ever seemed to disturb him enough to erase that Hulvershorn grin. We’re all for him. 64 H. J. KIESER Indiana University Bible, Religious Education Tri-State College ' 17-’18; Indiana University 18-T9; Bigney Geology Club ’28; Adelphoi Agapetoi ’28; Senior Class Day Speaker ' 28. One of the best things that can be said of any man is that he is well-liked by those who know him best. This is true of Harvey. This young man is one of Evansville College’s student minis¬ ters. He is always busy, in fact, very busy. Yet, he has time to make friends. We are sorry not to have had him with us longer. Oh yes, there is a Mrs. Kieser as well. MARY LOUISE KRAFT Home Economics—Chemistry Sigournean; Y. W. C. A.: Program Chairman ’26—’27; French Club. The original Mary Lou—authority on any¬ thing pertaining to atoms or Home Economics, to say nothing of Philosophy. And as for ver¬ satility, be it sculpture or painting, she is IT. No one could possibly forget the Kraft giggle, once he heard it. LEWIS LOCKWOOD Biology, History Philo; Agassiz Club; Asa Gray Botanical Club. To those of us who knew Lewis’ brother, Lewis seems to have been with is for five years instead of the usual four. However, this young gentleman for some unknown reasons, decided to leave us in the last few months to go to Indiana University. We are sorry to have lost him, but we wish him success. OLIVER R. LOETZERICH Business Administration Business Administration Club; Photozetean; Bigney Geological Club; Agassiz Club. He’s rather quiet—Oliver Loetzerich—and yet I think almost everyone knows him and admires his thoughtful, reserved manner combined with a great capacity for fun. 65 LILLIAN LOHMEIER Miss Lohmeier has been a pleasant addition to our class—a keen sense of humor, a brilliant mind —and a pleasing disposition—have won her many friends. JOHN McBRIAN Engineering Football; Amalgamated Bachelor Club; Pho- tozetean; Crescent Staff. Speaking mathematically, as John himself sometimes does,—Add: Personality, depend¬ ability, intellect and ability as both musician and athlete and multiply by a keen wit and fun- loving disposition and you ' ll have John himself again. ALMA JEWETT McDONALD Indiana University Delta Delta Delta; Agassiz Club ’22-’23; Asa Gray Botanical Club’27- ' 28; Castalian: President ’28; Freshman Advisor of Gamma Delta. We’re mighty glad Jewett came back to grad¬ uate with us, for Jewett is an addition to any group—an excellent student and a charming personality. thomas McDonald Electrical Engineering Engineer’s Club. Tom is another of those fellows from that de¬ partment of our institution “where men are men.” We feel that we do not know him as well as we would like to, but certainly we understand that his busy life and outside interests” have oc¬ cupied much of his time. 66 CLEO. B. McKOWN History—English Sigournean: Secretary ’27-’28, Chaplain ’27, President ’28; French Club ’27; Asa Gray Bot¬ anical Club: President ’28; Agassiz Club; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. That member of the library staff with the angelic countenance and a wit all her own. I wonder if there is a girl in school who hasn’t longed for “hair like Cleo McKown’s”. But there’s just as much inside Cleo’s head as there is outside. That ' s the lovely part. HELEN MAIER Latin—Home Economics Sigournean: President ’26, Secretary ’26, Pledge Mistress ' 27, Social Chairman ’28, Chaplain ’28; Crescent Staff ’24-’25-’26; Latin Club ’25-’26: Secretary ' 25; Secretary Hughes Hall ’26; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet ’26; Debate and Oratory Council ’26; LinC Staff ’26; Vice-President Girls’ Dormi¬ tory ’28; Secretary Student Court ’28. A look at Helen’s combination of major and minor will prepare us for her variety of offices and activities. And whatever she’s done, she’s done well. JOHN H. MANGRUM Civil Engineering Photozetean; LinC Art Staff ’28; S. G. A. Executive Board ’28. And what next?—for here we have the com¬ bination of engineer and artist, and ability along both lines—for John’s “a remarkable fellow!’’ JEWELL A. MANN History—Mathematics Y. M. C. A.: Secretary ’26-27, President ' 21 - ’28; Photo; Chairman Hospital Board ' 27-28; Executive Committee of Student Government; State Y. M. C. A. Committee. “Men—come out for Y”—How often have we heard Jewell make that announcement in qhapel —and somehow the men followed him. 67 f A. CLINTON MARSH Arts Engineering Business Administration Club ’26-’27-’28; Co¬ op Club ’24-’25-’26-’27-’28; Photozetean ’24- ' 25-’26. Between Ruth and Engineering and Business Ad, Clinton is a busy man. But we’ve observed that he is quite capable of looking after all these interests efficiently and still has time for outside affairs. Good man—Clinton. MARGARET E. MILLER English—History Thespian; Eager Heart’’ ’26; Theta Sigma: Vice-President’28; College Choir ’28; College De¬ bating Team ’24-’25-’26; Three oratorical contests: winner of Paul Charles Anderson Contest ’26. If we hadn’t women’s suffrage already, Mar¬ garet would make the best little suffragette going. Not exactly quiet, Margaret can certainly stand up for her own opinions—but she’s a big hearted girl, for a’ that. LAWRENCE OHL Engineering Amalgamated Bachelor Club; Philo Literary Society: Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary; Co-op Club; Baseball; Basketball. Next year Stumpy’’ won’t be here! And what the next year’s classes will miss—big hearted Stumpy’’ always looking for some fun (and generally finding it)—dependable too—and full of clever ideas. ELIZABETH PATON Latin—English, Biology Sigournean: Chaplain ’26, Critic ’26, Secretary ' 27, President ’27; Hughes Hall: Vice-President ’26-’27, President ’27-’28; Secretary Y. W. C. A. ’26-’27; Agassiz Club ’25-’26; Latin Club ’24-’25; Secretary Classical Club ’25-’26; Asa Gray Bot¬ anical Club ’26-’27; Secretary Women’s Council ’27-’28; James T. Copeland Memorial Award in Latin 1st prize ’25; First Prize Latin and Greek ’26, Second Prize Greek ’27; Student Court ’27- ’28; Outward Bound ’28; Thespian ’27-’28. Betty Paton could do it —and of course she did—beautifully too. Always the same, charm¬ ing Betty, whom everyone likes and admires for her wisdom, and her ability, and then for just being Betty. 68 RUFUS A. PUTNAM Business Administration Philoneikean; Director of Business Administra¬ tion Club ’25-’26-’27- ' 28; Secretary and Treas urer Agassiz Club ’26-’27. Rufus’ hair is the loudest thing about him—a rather sedate fellow as solid as a rock and as deep as the sea. THOMAS E. REA History—Physical Education Amalgamated Bachelor Club; Philo; Editor Crescent ’28; Thespian; Basketball ’25-’26’-’27- ’28; Athletic Board; Choir ’28; Football ’25- ’26-’27-’28 T—is responsible for our Crescents. He’s re¬ sponsible for a lot of good things around E. C. And speaking of versatility, a glance at T’s ac¬ tivities should convince anyone that T. is a shining example of it. MELBA SCHLUETER History—Science Castalian; Thespian; Asa Gray Botanical Club ’26- ' 27; Pasteur Medical Society 28’; Agassiz Club ' 27-’28; “The Youngest”; Basketball ’25- ’26-’27-’28; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet Member ’26. Of course, we could ask Mary Flo about Melba Schlueter—that is, if it were necessary. But we all know and like Melba, for she treats us always alike with her friendly disposition and charm¬ ing manner. She’s a star in basketball, too, this girl. BESSIE SHIELDS Mathematics, History Quiet and yet not too quiet—Bessie is one mem¬ ber of our class who has loyally supported school affairs and filled her place among us capably. 69 LEROY W. SHRODE Mathematics—History Behold the man of iron of the senior class. Leroy is a quiet kind of fellow. Whether or not he is another of that group devoted to outside interests we cannot say, but we have our sus¬ picions. How about it, Leroy? Isn’t there just a wee bit of the Romeo about you? ALICE STEVENS History—Science, English Theta Sigma: President ’27, Treasurer ’27, Secretary ’28; Asa Gray Botanical Club: Secre¬ tary-Treasurer ’27; Agassiz Club; Bigney Geology Club: Program Committee ’27-’28; French Club ’26- ' 27; Student Social Committee ’27-’28; LinC Staff ’28. A fair-haired, quiet girl whose middle name should be efficiency”—chuck full of ideas and the power to execute them—fun loving, and yet always able to accomplish whatever she under¬ takes. ANNA LOUISE THRALL English—History Castalian: Secretary ’25, Vice-President ’27, President Winter Quarter ’25; Y. W. C. A.: President ’27-’28, Secretary ’25-’26, Vice-Presi¬ dent ’26-27; Women’s Council: 2nd Vice-Presi¬ dent ’25-’26, Treasurer ’26-27; Y. W.

How Evansville College will continue without Ann, we don’t know. She has guided more than one organization during her four years here. Her quiet and yet enthusiastic college spirit has helped put over many a project. Here ' s to her future. ROBERT NEVILLE WILSON Business Administration Business Administration: Director Club ’25- ’26,-’27; Vice President ’27-’28; Philo; Bigney Geology Club. The tall fellow named Bob whom everybody knows and likes. Did you ever see Bob so busy or in such a hurry that he couldn’t stop and help a friend in need? We didn’t—ever. 70 l ELVA WINKLER Home Economics—History Theta Sigma: President ’26, Treasurer ’27, President ’28; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet ’26-’27 and ’27-’28; French Club ’26-’27; Decorum Committee ’27-’28; Debate and Oratory Council ’27-’28; Women’s Council: President ’27-’28. The women of the college expressed their estimation of Elva’s leadership and ability when they elected her President of the Women’s Council. She has filled that office as ably as she has carried out her other undertakings here at E. C. ERNEST WINTENHEIMER Electrical Engineering Co-op Club. “Ernie” as his best friends know him, is one of those quiet members with whom our class is happily blessed. We do not know friend Winten- heimer as well as we know some others in our midst, but he wears a senior blazer so we’re for him. KATHERYN ALICE WOLCOTT Religious Education—Bible State Oratorical Representative ’27; Winner First Prize, Paul Charles Anderson Contest ’27; Castalian: Critic; Crescent Staff ’27; Manager Y. M—Y. W. Operetta; Y. W. C. A.; Program Committee Chairman Junior-Senior Banquet; Chairman S. G. A. Student Chapel Committee ’27; “The Dollar ; Tau Kappa Alpha. Katheryn is the very essence of energy and ability—maybe it’s as chairman of an all-college party or of Student Chapel Committee, perhaps it’s as manager of an operetta, or even as a debater and member of Tau Kappa Alpha—Whatever it is , the job will be a success. KATHERINE ZURSTADT English—Home Economics Theta Sigma: President ’27; Writers ' Club ’27- ’28; LinC staff ’28; Freshman advisor ’27-’28; French Club ’26-’27. There’s so much to Katherine—that’s the best way we know of putting it. She does so much and says so little about it. She’s like the wonder¬ ful books that can be read and re-read with some¬ thing new coming out each time. 71 Mary Featherstone Major: Home Economics. Minor: Science. Extension Course.

Where I alone in a garden, Dreamed a dream of a fairy place. A prince most knightly and handsome, Dressed in velvet of blue, Beckoned and bade me follow Through a land which he led me to. A land of exquisite beauty; Its flowers and bowers so fair, That it seemed to me just for a moment. More than a human could bear. We gazed in a fountain of crystal, And the maiden no longer was there. In her place was a gay fairy princess, With jewels agleam in her hair. Softly he kissed my forehead, My lips, my eyes, and my hair. He bade me to wait in the garden Till he should come back to me there. Alone I shall wait in the garden Forever and a day. For the prince so knightly and handsome Who kissed me and rode away. Vardine Russel What is rain? Is it drops that the moon-lady sprinkles As she waters her flowers in her garden, the earth In whose beauty she revels, her eyes full of twinkles, Her lovely face lighting the world with its mirth? What is rain? Is it overflow out of a fountain Where star-fairies gleefully splash in the sky? Or is it the snow melted down off a mountain That ' s dropped clear to earth from its summit so high? What is rain? Is it the tears of forgiveness and kindness— Tears of our Father’s compassion and love Shed for his children on earth in their blindness Seeking to guide them aright from above? Drops from a sprinkler, spray from a fountain. Gentle tears falling from God in His love. Snow melted down from the top of a mountain, Rain pouring down from the Heaven’s above— What is rain? Julia Mason Lang And when the sky is dark, shadowy velvet And only the stars are there to see The tall, slender tree-princess bends gracefully down And with her slim, tapering fingers Caresses mournfully the crisp little leaves Of emerald and flame and golden brown. But when the sun shines brightly in the heavens And the timid little stars have hidden them¬ selves from the day, She stands bravely, facing the world Looking as if she does not care. Julia Mason Lang 100 3 z f El COACH HARMON— The Man Behind The Team Behind every winning team there is an inspiration and power that moves that team to success. The power behind the Purple Aces of Evansville College is Coach John Harmon. He has produced some of the best foot¬ ball and basketball teams ever seen in action in the Central-west. Evansville College is proud of her athletes and the Man Behind The Team . Due to the fact that Evansville College has adopted the Freshman Ruling within the past year, our teams are now eligible to play such teams as Indiana and DePauw, with whom games have been scheduled for next season.

SUMMARY OF GAMES EVANSVILLE 14 OAKLAND CITY 0 The Purple Aces defeated Oakland City College, 14 to 0, to dedicate the College stadium in their first game this season. Stoltz and “Soc” Dick each made a touch¬ down and Tails” added the extra points in perfect place kicks. Cowboy was the most valuable player to his team in this game. EVANSVILLE 0 DANVILLE NORMAL 18 Playing on a foreign field with only a handful of rooters from home, the score 18 to 0 against them, the Aces never once gave up. It was not a team of individual stars but the old gang working together. It was an uphill battle but the Aces went down fighting. ROBERT DAVIS, End “Bob” or “Fabus”, as his team mates call him, was the most valuable man to the Aces this year. He was awarded the Kiwanis medal for his loyalty and fight. Davis plays a fast game at end and the Purple is fortunate in having this big man with them again next season. 103 CAPTAIN FRANK LANG, Guard “Cowboy” played a “whale of a game” any¬ time and anywhere. He played in the backfield several games this season and showed his ability as a leader in a smashing offense. CAPTAIN-ELECT ARTHUR DICK, Guard “Soc”, playing his second year for Evansville, was the man who came through with a line plunge, ground gain, or touchdown whenever it was needed. His team mates honored him by electing him as their leader for next season. .—.- . EVANSVILLE 19 ROSE POLY 7 For the fourth time in as many years the “Fightin’ Engineers” of Rose Poly were forced to bow to the Purple and White, of Evansville College, in a hard fought game at Terre Haute. Soon after the first half the score was t ied 7-7 but the Aces came back strong in the final period and won the game 19—7. “Soc” Dick made three touchdowns in this game. 104 DOYLE GARDNER, Guard This was Dugie’s” first year to make a letter in football as he is light for this sport. The time he saw action, however, Gardner showed plenty of Irish fight. WESLEY ABEL, Guard “Wes” donned football togs this year for the first time and proved to be a great addition to the Aces. “Black” is a good guard and gave the opposition lots to worry about. The experience gained this year will make him a valuable man for Evansville next year. THOMAS REA, End “T” was at home at the end position this season and did his “stuff” in great style. He will be missed in the Purple camp next season. BYRON J. HARPER, End “Bounce” is new at this game of football yet he plays like a veteran. At snatching forward passes he ' s a whizz”. “Hiram” will be with the boys in Purple again next year. IS++- EVANSVILLE 0 CHARLESTON NORMAL 25 In the third game away from home the Aces were defeated by the Charleston Normal gang at Charleston, 25—0. The punting of Kinsel, Normal halfback, was the outstanding feature of the game. EVANSVILLE 13 HANOVER 0 In one of the best Homecoming games ever played in the local camp, the Aces halted the Hanover crew before they got started. It was a running, plunging attack with spectacular plays by R. Rea, Dick, and Fritsch, that brought the Purple of Evansville out on top. 105 WIEGAND KNEER, End Wiggie” was out of the fracas a lot this year on account of injuries but he made up for it when he did see action. Kneer will be one of the valu¬ able men left for the 1928 team. MARK LEACH, Tackle Mark hails from Jasonville where they make great football players. Leach got a chance to do his stuff” with the Aces and he made good in the line. WILLIAM FRITSCH, Backfield Bill” is the fastest ground gainer on the Aces. He has won two football letters and will be with the Purple two more years. RAY HOLLIS, Center Ray took care of the pivot position in great style. Although small, Ray makes up in fight and spirit. He has a football heart as well as football mind. EVANSVILLE 0 INDIANA STATE NORMAL 13 A badly crippled but fighting Purple eleven played a whale of a football game on the local field against the team of Indiana State Normal but the breaks were against them and they lost 13—0. The backfield was a patched up affair and the Aces were never able to muster a very good offense. However, their defense was impenetrable and the Normal boys had to fight for everything they got. 106 LELAND FEIGEL, Center “Bee” has been a loyal supporter of the Purple Aces for three years. He won his football letter this year through consistency. Leland will be with the team again next season. JOHN McBRIAN, Guard “Johnny Mac” played in the line and was a man that threatened the opposition all the time. Remember the State Normal game? This is McBrian’s last year to play for E. C. ALVIN BRANDENBERGER, Quarterback “Brandy” looked mighty good in the back- field. He made some good gains from scrimmage and was especially good in running back punts. “Al” is one of the fastest men on the team. JOHN FEIGEL, Halfback Johnny is the second man to make four letters in football at E. C. He has played almost every position on the team. The Aces lose Feigel through graduation this year. © +• EVANSVILLE 0 BOWLING GREEN 27 The Aces met their strongest opponent of the season when Western Normal from Bowling Green, Ky., came through with a 27—0 win over the Purple. Normal teams seemed to be a jinx to Harmon’s men this year. With defeat almost inevitable the crippled Aces battled a heavier, huskier, superior team for four quarters, and never did they show signs of quitting. Every man was a hero in defeat. 107 ROBERT DICKMAN, Tackle HARRY KNEIPP, Tackle Bob was a whiz at the tackle berth. This “Buzz”, that big boy from Owensville, showed is Dickman s second year and he has a couple himself to be a real football player this year, more to play for the Purple. With the experience gained he should make a lot of trouble for the opposition when the Purple resumes play next season. RALPH REA, Quarterback “Master” lived up to the monicker dubbed him by his team mates when he resumed the general¬ ship of the Purple Aces this year, after a layout last season due to an injured shoulder. “Tails” is one of the best field generals in the state and his loss will be felt keenly by the Purple next year. •♦■♦a . . —. g++- EVANSVILLE 0 McKENDREE 13 In the final game of the season the Purple Aces lost to the McKendree Bears at Lebanon, Ill., on Thanksgiving Day on a sloppy, muddy field, 13—0. The half ended 0—0 but the Aces weakened in the last half and a speedy Bear backfield took ad¬ vantage, counting two touchdowns. Coach John M. Harmon puts a winning basketball team in the field each year. This season the Purple Aces played seventeen of the eighteen scheduled games, win¬ ning fourteen and losing three, two of these by close margins to the highly tooted Butler team. Evansville College teams compete with the best teams of the state for state championship. Last year Harmon took his team to the National Amateur Athletic Union Tourna¬ ment at Kansas City, losing to a team that played in the finals of the tourney in their second game. This year sees two of the mainstays of the team graduating, but with the material remaining in the Purple camp for next season and the ability of our coach in developing basketball men from the raw, we have no fear but that the Purple Aces of next season will be as successful as those great teams in the past. CAPTAIN WESLEY ABEL, Backguard Wes” is just as good a shot as some of his team mates but the Aces need his ability as a guard. He often surprises opponents by intercepting a pass and turning the attack from the Purple goal. He has no superior in defensive work under the basket. Abel’s specialty is his ability to jump and he makes a good center in addition to his duties as backguard. Abe” captained his team well and will be a real inspiration to the team next season. CAPTAIN-ELECT DOYLE GARDNER, Floorguard Dugie” did not break into the line-up often this year, due to an injured ankle. When he did get in, how¬ ever, he flashed the same brand of basketball that placed him among the first in State scoring last year. Dugan has won three letters in basketball. His all-around sportsmanship has won him the admiration and con¬ fidence of his team mates who elected him captain of next year’s Purple Aces. 109 BYRON HARPER, Forward “Bounce” is one of the best known basketball players in In diana. His quick starting and sudden turning surprise the opposition more than once in a game. Harper seems to put a jinx on the other side when he starts scoring in that seemingly easy manner of his. “Bounce was first in State scoring honors this past season. He will be with the Aces for two more years. FRANK LANG, Floorguard “Cowboy” came to Evansville College three years ago from Mesa, Arizona, where he played with a championship team. Lang was one of the best floorguards in the state. His work on the defense was above par and his ability to change quickly to the ofFense made him indispensable to the Purple Aces. When the Aces resume play next year, they will be without the services of one of the best athletes of the institution. THOMAS REA, Forward “T”, playing his fourth year for the Aces, is as well known in athletics as brother “Tails . “T” is an accurate shot and gets shots away in less time than do any of his team mates. His size and all around ability add greatly to the defense of the team. Tom was captain of the Purple Aces in his junior year and in 1926 was selected on the All-Western team. The Aces will miss the Rea brother combination when they resume play next season. 110 DORRIS VAUGHN, Guard “Dippy” showed his stuff in several games this year when he substituted for Captain Abel. He has lots of fight and determination that make for a real basketball player. Vaughn has two more years to play for the old Purple and White. Watch his smoke! RALPH REA, Forward “Tails”, often called the Ace of the Aces, holds an enviable basketball record. He is a four-letter man, making the team in his freshman year. In 1926 when he was captain of the team he was selected as an All-Western player. In 1927 and 1928, R. Rea was one of those lucky boys to make the All-State. The “Master Dribbler” has brought renown in athletics to Evansville College and to the city of Evansville. Ill OAKLAND CITY 27 PURPLE ACES 36 The Purple Aces got their season under way by defeating Oakland City College in their first game, December 9. Evansville got away with an early lead which the Acorns could never overtake. PURPLE ACES 34 DANVILLE 16 December 16, the Aces downed the Danville Normal quintet. The Purple team seemed to wake up and show the visitors some of the old style and form of last year. PURPLE ACES 37 FRANKLIN 20 Continuing the good work, the Aces met Franklin on the latter’s floor and came back with the Baptist’s scalp, the score 37—20. This was the first victory that the Aces have had over the Franklin five. “Bounce” Harper was high point man of the game with six field goals and four foul tosses. PURPLE ACES 36 JAMES MILLIKEN 16 This was the first meeting of the two schools and the Aces fairly “coasted” over the visiting team to a 36—16 score. The last game before the holidays, the Purple showed they would be in good shape for the coming games with Butler. PURPLE ACES 40 VINCENNES 31 The Aces had things pretty well their own way from start to finish, although the Alices finished strong and at one time were six points from tying the score. Again, Harper was high point man. PURPLE ACES 32 BUTLER 38 In one of the most exciting games ever staged at the Agoga, the Aces met their first defeat of the season at the hands of the Butler Bulldogs, only after a double over¬ time period, however. The Aces started out poorly but at the end of playing time they had tied the score 24 all. In the first overtime period, the Aces took the lead but Butler soon came up tying the score again at 28 all, sending the game into the second overtime period. Every man was a star and yet a team pulling together. PURPLE ACES 27 BUTLER 33 This fast and furious game was played in Indianapolis before a record crowd. The Aces took many a rooter up to the Armory to yell for them but again the Bulldogs came out on the long end of the score. Butler outplayed the Aces to win 33—27. PURPLE ACES 46 McKENDREE 25 The Aces, still smarting from the defeat handed them at Indianapolis, came home and mopped up the floor with the boys from McKendree to the tune of 46 to 25. Harper and Lang played best for the Aces. PURPLE ACES 43 ST. LOUIS 31 January 19, the St. Louis quintet was defeated on the Agoga tabernacle floor by the Purple Aces. The score was 43—31. These “show-me“ boys found a team that could not be beaten that night. 112 PURPLE ACES 38 DANVILLE 35 In a nip and tuck affair with the lead changing hands five times during the game, the Aces defeated the Normalites for the second time this season. Close to the end of the game the score was tied 35 all. Here, Wes Abel stepped into the center of the floor, gave the ball a heave, and the score was 37—35, Evansville. “Tails” added an extra point with a free toss. PURPLE ACES 31 OAKLAND CITY 29 Play was fast and furious throughout the game but the Aces’ offense was too much for the Oaks to combat and the Purple and White was carried to victory. PURPLE ACES 33 HANOVER 15 Harper was a whirlwind on the Hanover floor and counted ten field goals before the final period ended. The Aces had things their own way and handed the Hanover boys one of their worst drubbings of the year. PURPLE ACES 31 FRANKLIN 20 Teamwork characterized the Purple Aces in this final game with Franklin. The first half was poorly played and the Aces retired to the dressing room with the score 15—12 against them. They came back, and in the best rally ever staged by a local quintet, brought the score to a ten point lead. PURPLE ACES 43 STATE NORMAL 26 Harper and R. Rea were outstanding throughout this game of slashing, smash¬ ing offense on the part of the Purple Aces. The last half was slower than the first but the Normal crew from Terre Haute could not overcome the Harmonites. PURPLE ACES 35 HANOVER 19 This was the last game of the season on the home floor and the last time that Evansville saw the Rea brothers in action for Purple and White. They showed the same fight and spirit that they have displayed throughout their basketball career. The Aces romped over the Hanover gang 35 to 19. PURPLE ACES 25 McKENDREE 32 With three regulars, “Tails”, “Wes”, and “Cowboy” out of the fracas the Purple Aces were handicapped and went down in defeat for the third time this season. PURPLE ACES 36 ST. LOUIS 30 On the same Western trip the Aces came back into some of the old fight and won from St. Louis by six points. PURPLE ACES STATE NORMAL This game, to have been played at Terre Haute, was cancelled because of the death of Frank “Cowboy” Lang. 113 10 BOYS’ BASKETBALL SQUAD Coach H armon, M.

The Men’s Dormitory won the championship under the able tutorship of Byron “Bounce” Harper. 115 COACH ALICE LYTLE Miss Alice Lytle, director of women’s athletics, was coach and sponsor of the girls’ basketball team this year. Coach Lytle is a graduate of Evansville College where she won four letters in basketball. She was captain of the team in her senior year. She is interested in all sports and always boosts for the Purple and White. M iii 1 , 4 ; CAPTAIN MARY FLO SIEGEL, Forward When it is a question of basketball there isn’t any¬ thing wrong with Mary Flo. She is one of the most consistently good players on the college team. As captain during the past season, she was an inspiration to her team mates. Mary Flo has served two years now on the team and still has two years to go. CAPTAIN-ELECT MABEL DILLINGHAM, Forward Mabel is an all around basketball player. She played the center position with ability and skill. Dillingham says little and does much. Her sportsmanship and team¬ work are of the best at all times. She should turn things upside down next year. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL SQUAD Top Row: Davidson, Dillingham, Hasseries, Coach Lytle, Fitzsimmons, McCutchan, Hunt. Middle: Sullivan, Smith, Dawson, Guthrie, Schlueter, Hock. Lower: R. Huegel, Siegel, N. Huegel. GIRLS’ GAMES The College Girls played the leading girls’ teams of Evansville in preliminaries to the regular varsity games at the Agoga tabernacle. The girls did not win all their games, but they always went down fighting. The girls’ basketball team had many ups and downs this season. The first blow fell when Hilda Dawson, former Owensville High School Ace, was ruled ineligible to participate in athletics. Mary Fitz¬ simmons, promising forward, was unable to report for practice because of an injured arm. Toward the close of the season, Naomi Heugel suffered injuries in an accident and was unable to play for several weeks. The letter girls that will be back next year are Ex-Capcain Siegel, Captain-Elect Dillingham, Hunt, Smith, and McCutchan. The team should be more successful next season. DEC. 9 FIRST BAPTIST 19 ACES 15 Captain Siegel made the first goal to start the scoring and Dawson and Dillingham turned in their uncanny style of shooting. The First Baptist girls outplayed the Aces, however, and won, 19—15- DEC. 16 CENTRAL M. E. 5 ACES 22 The Aces won their second game of the season. The guarding of Davidson, Hasseries, and Smith was outstanding in this fracas. JAN. 6 ST. BONIFACE ALUMNI 22 ACES 16 The strong St. Boniface Alumni sextet won from the college maidens in a hard fought game as a pre¬ liminary to the Butler game at the Agoga. JAN. 14 ST. MARKS 17 ACES 14 St. Marks, runners-up in the city championship, defeated the Aces 17-14. At one time the score was tied, but St. Marks came back in the final period and annexed the game 17-14. JAN. 19 TRINITY M. E. 15 ACES 23 The Aces took over the girls of Trinity M. E. in fine fashion. Schlueter, diminutive forward, was high point player in this game. 117 MARY DAVIDSON, Guard Last year Mary played forward, part of the season, but this year she was back in her old position at guard. Davidson, a product of Central High School, is one of the best guards in this part of the State. She is a girl true blue and a real sport. Mary Dee’’ will not be at the Lincoln avenue institution next year as she is continuing her studies at Auburn, Georgia. HARRIETT McCUTCHAN, Forward Harriett was late in coming out for basketball this year but she was the find of the season. She plays forward in a whirl-wind fashion. This was Harriett’s first year to win a coveted E”. RUTH HUEGEL, Guard ‘‘Twiny’’ is small but what she lacks in stature she makes up in spirit and lightning-like speed. Ruth is one-half of the Huegel twin combination that furnishes so much pep and fight for the Aces. MELBA SCHLUETER, Forward Shorty”, flashy little forward, snagged a pass, flipped a basket, and came through with a score when all others failed. Most basketball girls are awkward but Melba does all things gracefully. When the Purple and White resume play next year Melba will not be with them for she is a senior this year. DOROTHY HUNT, Guard Dots” is only a freshie but she played like a veteran. She is always in the midst of the fight and provides plenty of worry for the opposition. Her sweet disposition has won her a place in the hearts of all the basketball girls. RUTH SMITH, Guard Ruth is a ruff ’em up” guard. She came here from East St. Louis and showed us what girls of the West can do in basketball. Much of the team’s success next season will depend upon Smith’s ability to stop the offense of the opposition. VERNA HASSERIES, Guard Verna is a fighter and the Aces have been very fortunate in having her services these two years. Has- series has always played guard, coming to Evansville College from Bosse high school where she played on one of the best girls’ teams in Southern Indiana. There will be a place on the team next year that will be hard to fill as Verna leaves us this June. Dec. 9 GAMES First Baptist.19 Evansville College. .15 Dec. 16 Central M.

One of the most consistently good cheer leaders Evansville has ever had, Amos came up this year and surprised us all with his unusual display of vigor and en¬ thusiasm. Amos is new to the business as far as we know, although he may have practiced down in Kentucky. At any rate, he is always on hand when a college yell is the order of the day and he can always be depended on to get re¬ sults out of the college crowd. MARY FLO SIEGEL Mary Flo has served more than one year as cheer leader for Evansville College. Her ability in this line is just as good as her efficiency and skill on the basketball floor. She adds a feminine charm to the yelling! Whatever value this may have to us, we do know that everybody yells when Mary Flo is leading. EVANSVILLE COLLEGE BLEACHERS 120 COMMANDER BYRD AND PRESIDENT HARPER Evansville College came-before the people of the city during the year by sponsoring an address at the Coliseum by Commander Richard E. Byrd, the famous flier and explorer. Commander Byrd was present at our chapel services in the morning after which he made a tour of the city. Special features of the day’s entertainment were the luncheon at the McCurdy Hotel and the dinner given by President Earl E. Harper at the same place that evening. As the entire undertaking was successful, several more events of like nature are to be planned for the near future. PRESIDENT HARPER, BISHOP WM. F. ANDERSON, DR. A. E. CRAIG President Earl E. Harper was inaugurated as President of Evansville College on March 22, 1928. An entire day was set aside for the occasion. Leaders in the field of education attended and officiated at the ceremonies. FOUNDERS’ DAY BANQUET Founders’ Day Banquet was held February 23rd this year. About eight hundred guests from high schools of many surrounding cities were present. 123 “TRANSLATION OF JOHN SNAITH” Presented in the 1928 Northwestern Play Contest by the Thespian Dramatic Society. Ground was broken for the stadium during the Spring of 1927. All the work was done by student labor under the direction of Prof. R. E.

Of course the first thing you do when you get here is to go see the boss of the place and tell him you’ve arrived. He tells you how glad he is that you are here and asks you if you are ready to enroll. I thought it over awhile and decided it wouldn’t hurt none. This enrollin’, Ma, is only signing your name on some papers and then give ’em all the money y ou’ve got. Well Ma, I fooled him, I didn’t give him all I had ’cause I remember you always said it’d rain some day. Well Ma, they asks me what coarse I want to take and tell me us Freshmen ought to pick a easy one cause we aint used to it yet, but I just bucked right up and informed him that I was the leading guy in school at heme, (I didn’t fib Ma, cause you know I did lead the band.) When he hurd that he knowed I could handle anything they had in this institootion, so he let me take the hardest coarse they got. I’m takin’ Chapel, Lunch and Athletics for a ma¬ jor, with a few side liners like History Watchmaker and Jeweler Repairing a Specialty 609 Main St. Phone Main 2981 Evansville, Indiana and English. You know for each subject you have to take so many hours. Well Ma, that’s alright till it comes to lunch and you know dern good and well I can eat everything on the table in fifteen minutes. Last nite they had a party for me and the other freshman, but it was a big flop. All they ever done was sing and shake hands with everybody. That’s the reason I didn’t write sooner Ma, I couldn’t use my arm. I got a room at the Dorm. Thats a big house where a bunch of boys live. There’s more boys than they got room for Ma, and they got beds sittin’ on top of each other. Me bein a freshman I have to sleep on the top. I forgot where I was one time Ma and jumped out of bed real hurried-like and nearly busted my adams apple. Well Ma, they turn the lites out here at 10 bells so I’ll have to quit. I know you and all the home folks are proud of me since I’m a collegun so I’ll write often and give you the low down on College life, Your loving son, 127 It adds to your prestige Socially, Professionally, or Commercially to use Engraved Cards, Letterheads, Announcements, Menus, Invitations, Greeting Cards NUSSMEIER ENGRAVING COMPANY 208 S. 2nd St.—Evansville, Indiana Exclusive Engravers of Fine Commercial and Social Stationery HORTICULTURAL NOTE Tails: “Who was that peach I saw you with last night?” Tom: “She wasn ' t a peach—she was a grapefruit.

After we tidyed up a bit we went out and blowed our¬ selves by goin to the show house. Ma, when I got in that place I felt like a orfan boy at a picnic. The first thing they showed was some pictures of Lindenburger and I was the only one that whissled and stamped feet. People seam to be different hear than they are at home. Then they had a movin pitcher that I couldent hand much. It was all love without one bit uv shootin an scrappin. Then come the Vaudevil. It was purty good but I liked Uncle Toms Cabin and The Shooting of Dan Magrue better. After that (not counting the time for eating our eggs cause I hate to even think of it) we went over and played are game. All I need to say about that is we won because you wouldn’t know what it was all about anyway. We run out a money so we had to start home rite after the game. It sure was a cold trip to.
