SMITH Business Manager 3Fnmunrii We enter into this, the tenth annual LinC, con ' scious of our responsibility accurately to portray the ac ' tivities that center around our college tower. It is our hope that in this theme of the tower we may have found a symbol for the beauty, the aspiration, and the strength that we have found within these walls. May we have built in this book a monument that shall endure, recalling always the memories of this college year. Page Two leiitratimt To Professor Howard Fifield Legg, whom we have known not only as a teach¬ er, but also as an understanding friend. In him we have seen a towering vision built upon a solid foundation of true character. He has taken us up on high places from which we have discovered vistas hitherto unseen. He has encouraged us also to build soundly and well. Page Three Soft light calls forth Your beauty From dark —■ From mass moulds symmetry. We came to seek your light, And bathed in its glow we Emerged From dark And felt new worth. — Warren Hutchens.

President of the College The opportunity for personal contact with Dr. Harper is one of the outstanding privileges of our college life. His executive ability, has won for Evansville College its present high standing as an accredited college of Arts and Sciences. His many other talents have enriched not only our college experience but also the life of the entire community. In commenting upon the outstanding achievements of the past year Dr. Harper says, “Evansville College, in this first year of its reorganisation as a College of Arts and Sciences, has three things in particular for which to be thankful: First, a fine spirit of unity growing out of a new singleness of purpose, an ennobled institutional ideal, and a clearly conceived educational goal; Second, the more effective gearing of the work of the college to the real educa ' tional needs of the youth it serves; Third, a heightened prestige at home and abroad which has brought encourage ' ment, pride, and inspiration to every official, instructor, student, and friend of the institution.” Page Eleven Ipatts WAHNITA DeLONG Dean of Women A.B., Ohio Wesleyan University A.M., Ohio State University Most students have become acquainted with Miss DeLong through freshman courses in English Composition.

CHARLES EDGAR TORBET Dean of the College A.B., Ohio Wesleyan University M.A., Ohio Wesleyan University Dean Torbet is a veteran among the administrators of the college, having come here with the school from Moores Hill.

Quentin Hartke, President; Grant Pearcy, Vice-President; Mary Abell, Secretary; Mary Frances Hollis, Treasurer; Warren Hutchens, Kenneth Kincheloe, Harvey Seifert. The Student Government Association accomplished several important things during the past year. The Hospital and Relief Board constitution was amended so that surplus funds in its treasury might be used as a student loan fund. Action was taken to make it possible to include the price of individual pictures in the LinC in the student activi¬ ties fee. The Athletic Board constitution was repealed because it was felt that the Department of Physical Education should have the powers formerly held by this board. The Student Government Association sponsored an all-college party welcoming the freshmen to our campus. The Booster Day Parade and celebration were success¬ fully managed. The Homecoming activities and the Campus Sing were also directed by the Association. During the football and basketball seasons many pep assemblies were held, and these were quite successful in noticeably improving the college spirit. Most important, however, was the action taken toward the complete reorganisa¬ tion of the S. G. A., merging student and faculty government into a cooperative control by both students and faculty of practically all phases of college life. Page Thirty-eight STUDENT HONOR COURT Harry Oakley, President; Mary Frances Hollis, Harvey Seifert, Harold Smith, Charles Robertson, Kenneth Stillwell, Malcolm Aydt. The judges of the Student Court are elected by the four classes, three being chosen from the senior class, two from the junior class, and one each from the sophomore and freshman classes. The court has jurisdiction over all misdemeanors of students committed on the campus, operating in cooperation with both the students and faculty. Two important cases have been handled by the court this year, one of theft, the other of misconduct. The defendants in both cases were tried, found guilty, and punished. It has been the chief aim of the Student Court to lessen misdemeanors through gaining the good will and co-operation of the student body rather than by punish¬ ment after the offense has been committed. The court has appealed to the student body both through the Crescent and by word of mouth at the meetings of the Stu¬ dent Government Association. It is hoped that they have succeeded in obtaining the required co-operation and that this amicable spirit will carry on in future years. The members of the court wish to thank the faculty and student body for the aid and co-operation they have given them this year. Page Thirty-nine FACULTY STUDENT COMMITTEE President Harper, Quentin Hartke, Dean Torbet, Eela Cope, Miss DeLong, Burtis Dill, Professor Legg, Robert Schaad, Mrs. Place, Charles Zapp. This committee meets at the call of the President or of any of its members to discuss and make recommendations on matters of mutual interest to students and fac¬ ulty.

Page Forty HOSPITAL AND RELIEF BOARD Kenneth Kincheloe, Chairman; Mary Abell, Professor Cope, Lorine Zuelly, R. E. Olmsted.

ATHLETIC BOARD Lela Cope, President; Marie Rheinhart, Secretary; Coach Slyker, R. E. Olmsted, Professor Strickler, Robert Dossett, and Arad McCutchan. Until the recent repeal of the Athletic Board, it served as a means toward the promotion and regulation of athletics. Page Forty-one DECORUM COMMITTEE Robert Schaad, Chairman; Virginia Dickman, Frank Fish, Jane Love, Emily Wright. The purpose of this committee is to define standards of conduct and make neces ' sary recommendations to the S. G. A. ART CHAPEL COMMITTEE Harold Smith, Chairman; Margaret Rowe, James Wilkinson. This committee is responsible for the weekly art Chapel, securing talent both from the city and from the student body. Page Forty-two WOMEN’S COUNCIL Lela Cope, President; Olive Hendrickson, First Vice-President; Jane Anne Love, Second Vice-President; Elizabeth Scherer, Secretary; Lea Major, Treasurer; Lorine Zuelly, President Y. W. C. A. The Women’s Council was organized in the fall of 1923 for the purpose of pro¬ moting the social, intellectual, and moral interests of the women students of Evans¬ ville College. Every woman student is automatically a member. The Rest Room, which was furnished by the College Women’s Club, is in the care of the Women’s Council. This year Art Appreciation Teas have been given at the Museum of Fine Arts and History with the Senior, Junior, and Sophomore classes as hostesses. The Women’s Council entertained the Mother’s Council at one of their meetings and gave a party for the men students. The Council sponsors the annual May Day Festival.

The task of publishing a college paper is always a difficult one, not only because of the actual labor required, but also because of the multiplicity of tastes appealed to. The staff is therefore to be commended both for their will¬ ingness to give of their time, and for their success in producing a popular, and at the same time a constructive weekly. Originality might be said to be the outstanding characteristic of the Cres¬ cent this year. Several new ideas, both in form and in content, were used. With the appearance of the Oxford debaters came the English edition. With mid- semester exams came the “Green Cheese. 1 ' And, of course, since April 1 came on Friday, the “Blue Moon” was a necessity. The Crescent has always tried to present the news of the college in an interesting manner. Its editorial policy has been fair-minded and constructive. Page Forty-four THE CRESCENT STAFF Editor. .

VanKeuren Page Forty-five THE LINC HARVEY SEIFERT Editor A number of innovations have been introduced which to a degree at least make the LinC of 1932 distinctive among Evansville College annuals. Complying with the request of the faculty committee on publications, the LinC is published this year for the first time entirely without advertising. This makes possible a much more unified annual, devoted entirely to the commemoration of a college year. It has been possible to reduce the cost of space to organizations by one-half. Also for the first time, the cost of individual pictures was added to the student activi¬ ties fee of the second semester. Not only did this make possible a saving of money to the students, but it has meant that the number of student pictures included is larger than ever before. In spite of the decreased budget necessitated by these improvements, we trust that we may have produced a book which is in every way worthy of Evansville Col¬ lege, and which will be a real source of satisfaction to its students. May your ap¬ proval of it equal our joy in presenting it to you. Page Forty-six THE LINC We gratefully recognize the workmen who helped to build this, our tower of memory. It was only by the cooperative effort of the entire staff that the LinC of 1932 was made possible.

E. Olmsted Page Forty-seven DEBATE AND ORATORY The past year has been one of unusual interest in debate. The debate program was enlarged, and an exceptionally large squad participated, under the competent coaching of Miss LeCompte. The first debate of the year was held with Oxford, England, on the question of the immediate independence of India, Evansville College taking the affirmative. This was a non-decision debate, and attracted a large audience. Three teams sent to the annual debate tournament at Manchester College par¬ ticipated in 14 contests, debating the recognition of Russia with Valparaiso, Bowling Green, Manchester, Defiance, Marion, Hanover, Goshen, and Indiana State. This same subject was used in a dual debate with Rose Poly, and in debates with Cape Girardeau, Mo., and Indiana State Teachers’ College. INTERNATIONAL DEBATE George Besore, Harvey Seifert, John Foote, John Boyd-Carpenter. Angelyn McCarty, Lorine Zuelly, Edith Silver, Mardelle Bmgaman, Francis Johnson, George Besore, Russell Armstrong, and Harvey Seifert made up our affirmative teams, while Quentin Hartke, Doro- tha Fae Finch, and Virginia Blood took the negative. Abolition of the distinction be¬ tween amateurs and professionals in college sports was debated with Car- bondale State Teachers’ College, Vera Heim, and Mary Lois Humke tak’ng the affirmative for Evansville College. Harvey Seifert was our represent¬ ative at the state oratorical contest this year. Page Forty-eight Drama work this year maintained that exceptionally high standard of excellence for which productions directed by Miss LeCompte have become famous. The major production of the year was “Alison’s House,” Susan Glaspelbs Pulitz¬ er Prize Play. In selecting this the Thespians continued their policy of choosing out¬ standing plays which the college and community would not otherwise have an op¬ portunity to see. The recent revival of interest in the life and poetry of Emily Dickinson made this play of timely interest. The setting and costuming on the last day of the century gave it an unique charm. The exceptionally fine and sympathetic interpretation by the cast, the painstaking efforts of the executive staff, and the intelligent cooperation of the audience, resulted in an artistic unit of rare beauty. The cast of characters was as follows: Ann Leslie, Secretary to John Stanhope Jennie, house-keeper .... Richard Knowles, reporter . Ted, youngest son of John . Louise, wife of Eben ... John Stanhope, Alison’s brother . Eben, oldest son of John ..... Elsa, daughter of John _ Miss Agatha, Alison’s sister ___ Mr. Hodges. . . .... Mrs. Hodges... ... _Jane Howard .Lelia Bockstahler Richard Hollingsworth . .Thomas Ingle _ Margaret Rowe . ...Warren Hutchens . ...Jackson McDonald . ..Mabel Dillingham . Mary Belle Hopkins .

Despite the many misfortunes the band has experienced this year, its work is not without significance. This organization has attended all football and basketball games to do their bit in maintaining school spirit. They played and paraded in the Homecoming events and played a concert on the Founder’s Day program. The band is under the able direction of Mr. Virgil Kibler, who has unfailingly given his services throughout the year. Not only does he come to the college to direct the band but he also devotes considerable time to selecting and arranging the music. With the material at hand there are great possibilities for a much better organ- ization, and it is the hope of the leaders that in the future the band will not only be able to give several concerts a year but also to accompany the athletic teams on their trips.

It played for the Founder’s Day Banquet and for Commencement. A Sunday evening program was given at Central M. E. Church and another during Music Week in connection with the dedication of the new Coliseum. Another concert is planned as one of the features of Commencement week. A large part of the credit for the development of the orchestra goes to the director, Mrs. Isabel Reeves.

The Evansville College Choir was organized early in the fall of 1927. In 1930 it was transformed into the “Evansville College Little Oratorio Choir.” The Evansville choir has memorized and prepared for public presentation choral and solo music from “The Messiah”, Handel; “The Elijah”, Mendelssohn; “The Christmas Oratorio”, Saint ' Saens; “The Creation”, Haydn, etc. Symphonic orches ' tral accompaniments are represented by a string quartet, with the addit ' on of piano, pipe organ, and occasionally trumpet or woodwind. Membership is on a competitive basis. Rehearsals are held at 7:00 A. M. or 5.00 P. M. outside the normal class or social schedule of choir members, and the office hours of President Harper, who personally trains and conducts the organization. A great number of formal programs and sacred concerts have been presented by this unique and artistic musical ensemble at church services, college and high school assemblies, and at civic meetings in Evansville and throughout the middle west. Page Fifty-two Atljlftira COACH To Coach William V. Slyker goes no small part of the credit for the success of Evansville College in athletics. During his two years here Purple and White athletics have undergone a noticeable improvement. Not only does he command the respect and support of the people of the city, but he has won the heartfelt admiration of the student body of the college. A long successful career to the coach! CAPTAINS The careers of Bob Dossett and Sod Hartke have been like twin meteors blazing across the purple athletic heavens. Each man has captained his re¬ spective team for the past two years, and each man has won the Kiwanis Sportsmanship Medal. They share equally in the con¬ quest of feminine hearts as they do in masculine admiration. Good Luck, fellows! Page Fifty-four mx. FOOTBALL SQUAD: Bufkin, Dossett, Dupont, E. Englebrecht, J.

It would be wrong to judge the 1931 Purple Aces of the gridiron solely by the number of games they won and lost. Of the eight games played, Evansville lost five, but that is not the entire story. We are not making excuses for our defeats, but there are certain things that we must keep in mind when we try to evaluate the squad of 1931. There were but thirty men out at the beginning of the season and six of them dropped out later on. From this small number, Coach Slyker chose his team. Many of the squad were freshmen, good men all, but lacking college football experience. In many games Evansville was vastly outweighed by her opponents. Despite these handicaps and defeats the Aces showed a superb, indomitable spirit that deserves our admiration. They never gave up even when the support of the student body lagged occasionally. The Purple Aces journeyed to Cape Girardeau, Missouri, on Friday, September 25, to begin the 1931 gridiron season by playing the Indians of Southeast Missouri Teachers’ College. Fighting desperately on a rain soaked field, the Aces were borne down to defeat by the heavier Capers. Slyker’s men were unable to launch a success ' ful offensive, although their defense was good most of the time. The Red Men scalped the Aces to the extent of 15-0. The brightest star of the Purple was Cletus, “Skinny”, Pruitt, who distinguished himself with several nice end runs. On October 3, the Aces met Wabash College on the Crawfordsville campus. The “Little Giants” were too much for Evansville, the final score being 27 ' 2. Every ' Page Fifty-five thing, the heat, Wabash’s unlimited reserves, the penalties, and the breaks, was against the Aces. The one redeeming feature of the game was the gallant fighting spirit that never said die shown by the Purple. The Aces opened their home schedule playing Oakland City on Friday, October 9. About 3,000 people turned out to see this game, the largest crowd ever to see a home game at Evansville College. The backers of the home team were not disap ' pointed, for Evansville defeated her traditional rival to the tune of 19-6. The Aces scored in the first, second, and fourth quarters, “Skinny” Pruitt leading the Purple attack. The following Friday night Evansville lost the fourth game of the season to McKendree College on the local campus. The superior weight of the invaders was the deciding factor. The Aces were unable to break through the Bearcat wall, which averaged 200 pounds to a man. Cletus Pruitt and Captain Dossett led our offensive, such as it was. Outweighed and outcharged though they were, the Aces were not outfought; our single touchdown, which came in the fourth quarter, was the result of that unquenchable spirit which never gives up, even in the face of overwhelming odds. Coach Slyker’s machine presented one of the smoothest performances of the year against Central Normal of Danville on October 23. Dossett, Pruitt, Lewright, and Mehring led the attack which gave E. C. fourteen points and held the Dan- villagers to an empty goose egg. A week later the Purple boys whipped Hanover College on their field by a score of 21-6. Our opponents had things their way most of the first half, partly be¬ cause of their superior weight. But the second half was different — quite. Things be¬ gan to happen after Pruitt made a spectacular fifty yard run for a touchdown. From then on the game was over as far as Hanover was concerned. On Saturday afternoon, November 7, the Aces were trounced 13-0 by the Engi¬ neers of Rose Poly. The Terre Haute juggernaut was just too tough for the Slyker- men. The Engineers presented a deceptive, fast running attack that kept the Aces on the defensive for the greater part of the game. Had it not been for Bob Dossett’s ex¬ cellent punting, the Rosy boys would have piled up a bigger score than they did. Friday, November 13, was Homecoming Day for Evansville College. It was also an unlucky day for our institution. That evening the Purple Aces clashed with the Indiana State Teachers. Even though the future profs steadily outgained the Aces, the game was by no means sewed up. The contest was not won until the final gun sounded. Thirteen was a lucky number for the Staters as they had that many points to our seven. To Captain Dossett, who was playing his last game for Evansville, went the honor of making our one touchdown. Quentin Hartke, also playing his last E. C. football game, was outstanding. After the close of the season the following lettermen were announced: Bufkin, Dosset, E. Englebrecht, J. Englebrecht, Graham, Fitzsimmons, Hartke, Hemenway, Hostettler, Lawlor, Lewright, McCutchan, Mayfield, Mehring, Pruitt, Sadler, Schrad¬ er, Steber, Theby, and Youngblood. Theron Hostettler has been elected football captain for next year. Page Fifty-six Chisler Jock ' ' Whiff ttlooi Aces’ SUMMARY Opponents’ Score Opponents Score 0. .Cape Girardeau . .1 7 2 . .

The success of any athletic team depends much on the active support of the stu¬ dent body. It is through E. C.’s corps of yell leaders that the vocal support of those in the grandstands was inspired and directed. Two other individuals contributed much to the athletic year. Lorraine Rake did a fine job as assistant to Coach Slyker. Joe Park, although only a freshman, made a reputation for himself as an efficient student manager. Coach Slyker, in commenting on the past season and future prospects, says, “Intercollegiate athletics at Evansville College have shown a gradual development and a marked improvement during the past year. “The football squad made up mostly of freshman and sophomore material gave a good account of themselves, and with this experience and the new men available next fall should develop into a strong organisation. “The basket ball team enjoyed a very good season. Of the seven men to receive letters, six will be back next season. The future is very bright for a powerful team. “Plans are being made for a full program of spring athletics, intramural in na¬ ture, with the hope of sometime in the near future taking over some of these into the intercollegiate field.” Page Fifty-eight BASKETBALL SQUAD: Fitzsimmons, Graham, C. Hartke, Q. Hartke, Lewright, McCutchan, McGloth- lin, Riggs, Robertson, Rose, Sadler, Sakel, Schelosky. The 1932 basketball season was one of the most successful in the recent athletic history of the college. The Aces won nine out of sixteen games, and many of those lost went to strong teams by only a small margin. On Lriday, December 4, the Purple Aces invaded Terre Haute for their first cage game of the 1931-32 season. The Staters won, 30-22. Poor marksmanship lost this game. During the final period when the Aces flashed a powerful attack which swept down under the basket continuously, they missed shot after shot. The next Lriday the Aces lost to Butler University in Indianapolis 22-19. They had been doped to lose by a much greater margin. Sakel, Sadler, and McCutchan were outstanding. On December 23, the Aces played their first home game of the season against Oakland City. The Aces broke loose in the final period with such a bewildering, scintillating attack that the Oaks were overwhelmed, 34-20. McCutchan, Sadler, and Sakel led in the scoring. The Aces played a charity game, the day after Christmas, with the Purple Aces of former years. After a mild first period the Aces launched a devastating attack that crumbled the Alumni defense and made 27 points to the Alumni’s 14. The Ace’s offensive centered around that good natured son of Stendal, Sakel, who led in the scoring. The battling Bishops of Ohio Wesleyan invaded the Ace’s camp on Tuesday night, January 5. The visitors grabbed an early lead of 10-2. Then the Slyker ma¬ chine began to function. The half ended at 15 all. In the second half the Aces, Hartke and McCutchan especially, hit the basket regularly. The final reckoning was 37-27 against the now not so battling Bishops. Page Fifty-nine Three nights later the Aces played a return game with Indiana State on the Agoga floor. The Staters soon had 12 points to the Purple quintet’s four. Then the Aces came back in characteristic style and the score was tied at 25 with three minutes yet to go. McCutchan and then Riggs scored and the game was Evansville’s, 29-25. The outstanding spot of the Purple defense was Captain Hartke. The following Friday found the Aces at Alton, Illinois, for a game with Shurt- leff College. It took them most of the first half to become sufficiently acquainted with the very small floor to make one field goal. In the last period the Aces did somewhat better, but the game ended 42-23 against them. On Saturday night the Aces played Concordia of Saint Louis. They were de¬ feated 16-15 in a hard fought contest. Evansville’s losing streak continued when the Slykermen lost their next game with Central Normal of Danville on the Agoga floor. The Aces were unable to cope with the Danvillagers’ brand of basketball and lost 29-19. McCutchan led the fruit¬ less Purple attack with five field goals; Hartke was outstanding in the defense. The next night the Aces were handed their fourth consecutive defeat, losing this time to Ball State Teachers’ College by a score of 26-19. On January 29th the Aces met Hanover with a grim determination to break their losing streak. They did. With Sadler and Riggs leading, the Aces piled up 30 points to their opponents’ 20. Next week McKendree came to Evansville. The Aces easily ran up 13 points to their opponents 9 in the first half but the Bearcats came back with a bang. The score was tied at 13, 15, and again at 19. Then McCutchan slipped in a shot, Riggs made two, McGlothlin made a goal and a foul shot, and the game ended 28-22. Lincoln’s birthday saw the Aces at Valparaiso. Evansville led 17-14 at the half and retained the lead for the rest of the game, winning 23-21. “Pud” Sakel was the outstanding man in the contest. From Valparaiso the Aces journeyed to Danville for a return game with Central Normal. The game was very close throughout. At the end of the regular play time the score was tied at 26, but unfortunately the Villagers had the edge in the overtime period and Evansville lost 29-26. McCutchan, Riggs, and Sakel were outstanding. Evansville next encountered Oakland City on the Oak’s floor. The matured Acorns rolled up 10 points to the Little Eva’s one in the first few minutes of the game, but the Aces came back until they were only one point behind with thirty seconds remaining. McCutchan flashed beneath the basket, flipped the ball in, and the Aces led with 26 points. So the game ended, a regular Frank Merriwell finish with Mac in the title role. The Aces closed their 1931-1932 season on February 26 in a return game with Valparaiso. The purple quintet was geared up to its peak of efficiency. In the last period Coach Slyker removed his regulars, but the slaughter of the first half con¬ tinued. Evansville made a total of 48 points to their opponents’ 15. McCutchan led in the scoring with eight field goals. Captain Quentin Hartke, playing his last game for Evansville, put the finishing touch to a splendid college basketball career. He made four goals and one free throw in twelve minutes before he left the game. The following men were awarded letters: Hartke, Lewright, McCutchan, Me- Glothlin, Riggs, Sadler, and Sakel. Arad McCutchan was elected to the captaincy of next year’s quintet. Page Sixty Aces ' SUMMARY Opponents’ Score Opponents Score 22 . .

Several outstanding accomplishments mark the activities of the club during the past year. A standard size varsity letter (8 by 6 ) was adopted for all sports. A study hall for athletes was organized. The club adopted a standard pin, consisting of a miniature “E” with a background of white and purple, and with “Varsity E Club’ 1 engraved upon it. They succeeded in gaining free admission for letter men to all athletic games. Last spring they sponsored an all day picnic for the men of the college, and they plan to do the same this year.

A. Hornick, Deputations; Gaylord Legg, Publicity. The Y. M. C. A. organization is open for membership to every man on the campus who shows any interest in its work. The following purpose was just recently adopted: “First, to offer to every man in college the opportunity to participate in a pro- gram for the well-rounded development of Christian personality; “Second, to promote among ourselves in our own college a fellowship in Chris¬ tian living and service, and to participate with other colleges in a world-wide Chris¬ tian fellowship; “Third, to encourage the study of campus, community, and world problems in the light of the highest Christian ideals; “Fourth, to make an organized attempt to influence the thinking of the college and the community toward a Christian solution of such problems.” The program of the Y. M. C. A. has included study groups on such world problems as war, our present economic and social order, and world religions. It has brought to the campus such prominent speakers as Jack Evans, Thomas Q. Flarrison, and Dr. A. A. Heist. It has sponsored deputation teams which have aided in services of nearby churches. It has fostered such joint endeavors with the Y. W. C. A. as Retreats, Thursday morning discussions, and the World News Bulletin Board. The Y. M. C. A. also sends several men to the Lake Geneva Summer Training Camps and to the State Training Conferences. To Dean Legg, as faculty sponsor, and to Professor Cope, the faculty treasurer, as well as to Dr. Delano and other members of the faculty is owed much credit for their help in the Y. M. C. A. program. Page Sixty-four Y. W. C. A.

There have been various high points in Y. W. C. A. this year. One of the things accomplished has been the placing of every Y. W. member on some committee. The cabinet members act as chairmen of their particular groups. In this way every girl has an opportunity to serve. Another undertaking of importance has been the peace program which was carried on in cooperation with the Y. M. C. A. The members studied peace at their regular meetings for several weeks and this was followed up with an action program “to make the world disarmament conference a success.” A world news bulletin on which are posted the daily world events and a Y. W. sign board are two committee projects. A retreat at Roberta Lodge, a Sunday after¬ noon tea with the city Y. W. industrial girls, and a Friday night party for out of town girls have been noteworthy events. On May 6, the second annual May morning breakfast took place. Regular Y. W. meetings are held Thursday at 10 A. M. in the rest room. Membership is open to any girl enrolled in college who has the desire to belong to this organisation.

The purpose of the club is to promote Christian fellow- ship, mutual helpfulness, and spiritual interstimulation. At the bi-weekly meetings, the club has studied together Harry F. Ward’s book, “Which Way Religion.” There have also been several very interesting lectures given by the various members of the faculty on different phases of the work of the min¬ istry. The club continued its custom of an annual letter to the men who have gradu¬ ated from Moores Hill College and Evansville College and have gone out into full time religious work.

However, any stu¬ dent enrolled in any class in this department is eligible to attend its meetings. The purpose of the club is to foster business education and to develop more cordial relationships with the business men of Evansville. This is done by holding monthly dinner meetings with a talk by a guest speaker, usually a business or pro¬ fessional man, followed by an open forum. In this manner economic theory is linked with its actual application in the business world.

The club is one of the few on the campus associated with a national society. Pins were purchased this year from the National Home Economics Association in Washington, D. C. During the first semester the club entertained the advanced Chemistry students with a steak fry, sponsored a tea for the mothers of the girls in the department, and held a style show for all the girls in school. The second semester was started with the initiation of five new members. A trip to Igleheart’s was made by the members and their special guests. In a drive to make money, a quilt was pieced and quilted, and a waffle supper given.

Cope Evansville College has the honor of having the Alpha Chapter of this national scholastic honorary fraternity in the field of social sciences. Their charter was received in February, 1930. Two other colleges in Indiana, Hanover and Muncie State Teachers’ College, now have chap ' ters. Their purpose is to stimulate scholarship in the social sciences. The standards are equal to those of Phi Beta Kappa and cannot be obtained before the middle of the junior year. To win the Pi Gamma Mu key is an honor that will be of great value to the student in later professional life. The following faculty members and students have earned membership in our chapter: Howard Abbot Earl Enyeart Harper Walter G.

At the beginning of this school year Mrs. Ima Wyatt, Castalian alumna and Biology Instructor here at college, became the faculty sponsor of the society. One of the most happy events of the school year was the football banquet, at which Castalians entertained thirty football men. Castalians each year take pleasure in showing this bit of appreciation to the men who have so ably represented the school in this field of athletics. Many interesting as well as helpful literary meetings have been held during the school year, and Castalian “cot;ys” were frequent and were always successful socially. The annual rush party of this year was held at the Country Club, with the formal pledge dinner at the Claremont Grill. Inter-society activities in which Cas ' talians participated were the homecoming stunts, the spring Campus Sing, and the Founder’s Day Program. The formal was held May 6, at the Hotel McCurdy. This perhaps topped the social year for Castalians, and alumnae as well as members considered it a gala event. The society does here not only wish to congratulate the entire Senior Class but does especially wish to the senior members of this society much happiness after leaving school.

The society was organized March 4, 1857 at Moores Hill College and named Sigournean, after Mrs. Lydia Huntley Sigourney, foremost poetess of the day. One of the charter members, Mrs. Mary Ewans, is still living. In 1919, after the college was moved to Evansville, the society was reorganized. In 1929 the name was formally changed to Gamma Epsilon Sigma. This year’s events included a theater party at a Reitz High School play, a special chapel on March 4 in honor of the anniversary, a tea given by the alumni organiza ' tion for actives and pledges, and the formal held on May 21.

The Thetas also met jointly with the Phi Zetas. A carni¬ val party was given for the Gamma Deltas. A radio program giving an insight into society life was presented. A Sunday afternoon Mother ' s tea was held on April 3 in the college rest room. One of the outstanding college events was the Campus Notable Banquet which was held on February 23 at the Claremont Hotel. The notables were selected by the three deans of the school to represent the seven ideals which are included in our college seal. The most important date on the Theta Sigma Calendar was the annual formal which took place on Saturday, May 14, at the Hotel McCurdy. The summer boat ride was held during May. There were numerous pot luck suppers during the year.

The Phi Zeta Literary Society was originally organised as the Photozetean Literary Society at Moores Hill College in 1869, and was reorganized at Evansville College on November 21, 1919. It has always upheld as a standard for its members the attainment of the highest ideals of literary accomplishment, scholarship, and ability for leadership. During the past year the Phi Zetas have taken a prominent place among the leaders in campus life. They have distinguished themselves in all the extra curricular activities as well as in their academic attainments. Their parties and the “formal have been big events on the school calendar. However, the achievement of which the Phi Zetas may be the proudest is the high degree of brotherhood and friendship among their members. First Semester OFFICERS Grant Pearcy... _President....
