Igleheart our book is dedicated. Kind, gentle, patient, good, he stood ever ready to serve God and man. Mr. Igleheart during the years of his life gave unending service to community, school and church. In the founding, building, and development of Evansville College his services were many, his interest heartfelt. May his s pirit of service and idealism be a constant inspiration to us all in furthering the growing greatness of our college. IN Arise, and go!

Seymour Richard Rosencranz.Evansville THE STUDENT-FACULTY FEDERATION The Student-Faculty Federation, successor to Student Government at Evansville Col¬ lege, is regarded by the faculty and students alike as one of the most helpful develop¬ ments in the recent life and work of the college. In dealing with matters of mutual interest to students and to faculty relative to the life, work, and government of the col¬ lege, the Federation has shown continued success in the second year of its organization. An Administrative Board and eight committees compose the organization of the Fed¬ eration. The Administrative Board serves as a board of review and a court of appeal. It consists of seven members: the president of the college, the dean of the college, the deans of men and women respectively, and three elected officers of the student body. The Committees are: Athletics, Fine Arts, Promotion and Public Occasions Public Speech, Publications, Religious Life, Social Life, and Welfare. Faculty and student members have equal voice and vote in the meetings of each of the committees. During the year 1933-34 it was realized that there should be some possibility of appeal from decisions of the Administrative Board. After thoughtful consideration and thor¬ ough discussion a plan was adopted and incorporated in the constitution which makes it possible for either the faculty or the student body to bring about a referendum on any matter which has been acted upon by the Administrative Board. Such referendum will bring the question back for consideration by the entire student body and faculty assem¬ bled in mass meeting, with the voting so arranged as to give each group equal voice in the final decision. It is generally felt that the functioning of the Student-Faculty Federation thus far has more than measured up to every expectation and desire of its promoters. The student participation has been frank, free, and effective. Representative students sitting on committees, formerly made up for the most part of faculty members, have imparted fresh ideas, new points of view, and knowledge of conditions and facts pertaining to student life and thought which have been invaluable in promoting effective government and in bringing about a spirit of cooperation and friendly relationship. This is manifest even to those who make brief visits to Evansville College. THE ADMINISTRATIVE BOARD The Administrative Board of the Student-Faculty Federation has charge of all general administrative and disciplinary matters in the life and work of the college. The Board serves as a court of appeals from all committees of the Federation, and as an execu¬ tive committee which initiates business and refers it to the proper committee. Action of all committees is reviewed by the Board, keeping in balance thereby the total life and government of the college. President Earl E. Harper, Charles Zapp, Dean Charles E.

This has been a hard year for the LinC, and it has been only through the unusual cooper¬ ation and hard work of staff members that this book has been made possible. Throughout the year the editorial and business staffs have worked hand in hand, each helping the other. The social meetings, business meetings, and selling campaigns in which both staffs participated jointly have brought the staff members together into an organization of real comradeship and service. We wish to thank the students for their loyal sup¬ port of the LinC. We wish to extend individual thanks to Larry Coley, also to James Palsgrove, Ed. Rech, and Gaylord Legg. THE CRESCENT This year, the Crescent initiated a policy of intro¬ ducing new feature material. Included were columns on men’s and women’s styles, current events a weekly letter from the president of the college, a creative writing section, and other features of timely interest. Candidates for the staff positions were placed on a competitive basis during the first weeks of each semester. For the first time, perhaps, members of the staff were given freedom to work in their chosen fields. The Editor received real cooperation from the staff this year. As to ability and cooperation, this year’s staff has been of the finest.

The purpose of the organization is as follows: 1. To offer to every man in college the opportunity to participate in a program for the well-rounded develop¬ ment of Christian personality. 2. To promote amopg ourselves a fellowship in Chris¬ tian living and service, and to participate with other col¬ leges in a world-wide fellowship. 3. To encourage the study of campus, community, and world-wide fellowship. 4. To make an organized attempt to influence the think¬ ing of the college toward a Christian solution of such problems. The Y. M. C. A. has regular meetings every Thursday. This year the organization heard a series of talks by pro¬ fessional men of the city. Two special interest discussion groups have been organized.

W. C. A. functions through its committees. Headed by the vice-president, the big sister chairman, they welcome the freshmen girls in the fall. Each freshman girl is given a big sister to assist her in becoming acquainted at the college. Early in the fall a “Saver” party was held for all big and little sisters. At one of the first fall meetings each member was given an opportunity to join a committee headed by a cabinet member. Each committee takes charge of several meetings during the year which provides many varied, interesting and inspirational programs. In the fall and in the spring the Y. W. C. A. has a joint retreat with the Y. M. C. A. These meetings are always a great source of inspiration.

President.Wilma Espenlaub Every woman automatically becomes a member of the Wo¬ men’s Council upon enrollment. The Women’s Council was organized about twelve years ago to promote the social, intellectual, and moral interests of every woman. The Women’s Lounge was furnished by the Women’s Col¬ lege Club of the city as a gift to the Council. Early in the season the Council gave an “au-tum” party for all freshmen and new girls. A series of Studio Hours was sponsored at which the respective classes acted as hostesses. The divans and chairs in the Lounge were re¬ covered and the table was refinished this year. An “Open- house Tea’’ for all women of the college was given in cele¬ bration of the new furnishings. The council sponsored the election of the May Queen and the May Day activities. WOMEN ' S COUNCIL The Men’s Council was organized last September under the auspices of Dr. Legg, Charles Zapp, and Gilbert Eberlin. The purpose of the Council is to pro¬ mote all interests not otherwise provided for which affect the life of the men of the college. Every man regularly enrolled is a member of the Council. The government of the Council is invested in an Executive Board which consists of the dean of men and two representatives from each of the men’s so¬ cial societies, and two from the unorganized men. The Council and the Board have two officers, a mod¬ erator, who is the dean of men, and an executive secretary who is a student member of the board. Half of the Board members hold office for a year, the other half for one semester. MEN’S COUNCIL EXECUTIVE BOARD First Semester Second Semester Gilbert Eberlin...

The purpose of the club is to promote Chris¬ tian fellowship, mutual helpfulness, and spiritual inter¬ stimulation. In the past year in the bi-monthly dinner meetings, a study has been made of practical and essential phases of the work of the ministry today. These studies were con¬ ducted under the leadership of well-known ministers of Evansville and vicinity. Holy Week services were conducted by the club again this year. The club hopes to make the Holy Week services a traditional feature of the yearly program. OFFICERS President.Russell Huffman Vice-president.Bernard Renner Secretary...Maurice Eicholz Treasurer.M. G.

In September, 1930, it became affiliated with the state and na¬ tional Home Economics organizations. Membership in the club is made up of students majoring or minoring in Home Economics. Meetings are held bi-monthly. The club spon¬ sored its annual waffle supper and the making of a quilt.

Unique in musical purpose, inspirational in religious uplift, and brilliantly effective from the standpoint of technical musical criticism, the Evansville College Choir offers sacred concert programs which make every public appearance memorable. For six years, the choir has been singing throughout the Middle West, particularly in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio. ORCHESTRA The Evansville College Ensemble is an extra-curric¬ ular organization composed of college students, but certain non-college members are at times used to complete the necessary instrumentation. The Ensem¬ ble endeavors to maintain a standard of work con¬ sistent with the purposes and standard of a Liberal Arts College. Its repertoire is chosen from the best pieces of orchestral literature.

The major productions of the year were THE CONTRAST by Royall Tyler, EAGER HEART, the annual Christmas Festival play in connection with the college choir, TROJAN WO¬ MEN, by Euripedes, and EVERYMAN, early English morality play. The revival of the early American comedy of manners, THE CONTRAST, by Tyler, proved a delightful experi¬ ence for the Thespians and their public. Chief among the elements of interest in the play was the “preciose” lan¬ guage of the 18th century which was the current vogue in continental plays such as THE SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL, by Sheridan. The first presentation of the Greek play, TROJAN WOMEN, was an outstanding success. This years’ program was planned to give a view of drama beyond the contemporary theatre. In addition to these productions, the society’s activities included numerous play-reading meetings and informal social gatherings. ■ THESPIANS Phi Beta Chi is the honorary natural science fraternity at Ev¬ ansville College. Its admission requirements include: a major in one of the natural sciences; at least fifty per cent of the grades attained must be A; a student shall possess marked creative ability; elections are made during the senior year.

Manchester, Butler, Wa¬ bash, Earlham, Valparaiso, Franklin, and Evansville colleges and uni¬ versities were represented. Franklin College, represented by James Pease, took first place. Paul J. Scheips represented Evansville College speaking on “Cuba Renovated”. Debate topics this year were: Resolved: that Japan’s present policy in the far East should be approved; and. Resolved: that the President’ s powers should be substantially increased as a permanent policy. A total of twelve debates on the first question were held in which Paul Scheips, Tom Ingle, and Louis Ritz took the affirmative, while Charles Zapp, Maxine Kennard, and Herbert Roberts took the nega¬ tive, each side representing the college in half of the twelve debates. The debate at Sullivan with Wabash College in which Paul Scheips, Louis Ritz, and Herbert Roberts took the affirmative on the Japanese question is to be published by the H. W. Wilson and Co. in the Uni¬ versity Debaters’ Handbook. The Wabash debate team was composed of Jeffery Auer, William J. Hassan, Ford R. Larrabee. Tom Ingle, and Louis Ritz formed the negative team on the presiden¬ tial question debating Carbondale Teachers College. Charles Zapp and Charline Hinkle took the affirmative side, meeting Valparaiso.

SLYKER This school year closed with an athletic record that surpassed that of any previous year, and to our Coach goes a large share of credit for Evansville’s athletic success. More letter men are kept over from year to year. The personnel of both football and basketball squads is steadily increasing. We take on bigger and better schools. Slyker spells success for Purple and White athletics. Kern McGlothlin captained the basketball team of 1933-34 through one of the most successful seasons experienced by an ace team, climaxing his four years as a regular forward with the best basketball of his impressive career. Mac’s loyalty and support made his leadership of the highest type. CAPTAIN McGLOTHLIN Joe Theby led the football team of 1933 in a most pleasing manner, leaving nothing to be desired. If there ever was a man who got out there and fought for the E-ville team, Joe Theby is the man.

BASKETBALL COLBY POLLARD Center CONSTANT HARTKE Guard ARAD McCUTCHAN Guard JOHN SADLER Guard The W. A. A. is a new organization on the campus this year. Its purpose is to foster a spirit of cooperation and sportsmanship, to teach creative use of leisure time, and to promote recreation and physical development among the women of the college. Officers are: Mary Gleason, president; Mildred McCutchan, vice-president; Mary Ella Vogel, secretary; Thelma White, treasurer. Other members are Mary Lucile Bowman, Ber¬ tha Born, Vinita Britzius, Faye Gilpatrick, Dorothy Glick, Betty Jane Hacker, Maxine Kennard, Janet Major, Dor¬ othy Neu, Coriene Wllhelmus. Soccer, field hockey, volley ball, basketball, speedball, track and tennis were included in the physical education program as outlined by Miss Rodgers, the director. Tour¬ naments in all these sports were sponsored by the W. A. A. The W. A. A. has been invited to join the State Associa¬ tion and hopes to do so as soon as sufficient funds can be raised. WOMEN’S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Bob Baker and his two assistants, Vera Jane Wat¬ son and Henrietta Hoffman, have succeeded in giving our school a new school spirit. The enthusiasm, pep, and loyal support shown by the students this year are largely due to the leadership of our splendid yell leaders. CHEER LEADERS Florence Miller, Helen Ziss. Claudine Heim, Miss TENNIS CHAMPS Rodgers, coach, Geneva Fortune. ■ ‘ V ' - ' : . . : 1 1 CAMPUS LEADERS RICHARD BRANCH GILBERT EBERLIN KENNETH STILWELL These men represent various interests—Branch with his training in economics, Eberlin in polit¬ ical science, and Stilwell in music—and their leadership and service have been colored by these respective interests. Fellow students have always looked to these men with confidence and respect because of their capacity for leader¬ ship which has been evident from the first. It so happens that the fellows are all members of Phi Zeta, Eberlin being president of that society. are chosen each year from the senior class. The deans of the college select three men a nd three women who have shown out¬ standing qualities of leadership and service during their four years of college life. CAMPUS LEADERS BETTY JANE HACKER CATHERINE DYER ALMA SCHUESSLER There is a greater similarity in the interests of the three women. They have all three pre¬ pared to enter the teaching profession, English being chosen by each as a major. Each is presi¬ dent of her society, Theta Sigma, Gamma Ep¬ silon Sigma, and Castalian, respectively. They are the only women who have held office thus far under the Student-Faculty Federation plan of government. These young women have al¬ ways been foremost in accepting positions of responsibility for the furtherance of the inter¬ ests of their fellow-students and the college. ALICE GEORGE Senior Gamma Epsilon Sigma CAMPUS BEAUTIES as Dear Pal: Gee, but it’s been a long time since I’ve written to you. Ever since school started I’ve been so busy with exams and other things that I just didn’t have time to write. Maybe I’d better go way back to September and give you all the dope from then on. Came September. We started all over again amid much discussion of Russia, the World’s Fair, and what our two new teachers would be like. In the first Crescent there were announcements of six marriages during the summer. Not bad, eh! The freshmen were entertained in the usual way with English, Psych, and Physical exams and then the banquet at Bethel. Upperclassmen became much disturbed at the announcement of no cuts for the year. The All-student Party took the form of a treasure hunt and did we have fun! Betty Jane Hacker’s team won, and afterwards we all had watermelon. Classes had elections of officers and the heads this year are Seifert, Riggs, Jaco, and Groeninger. We really started having pep when Baker became yell leader and when the Junior Chamber of Commerce took a hand at the ticket sale and sold 605 ducats. Surheinrich was the big shot in the Cape Girardeau game, making our only touch¬ down. The Big Sisters of the Y. W. gave a Saver Party for the little ones. Say, the Frosh caps certainly were snitzy—the girls I mean. Committees for the Student-Fac¬ ulty Federation were announced so the school could settle down to business. Philos elected Arad as their president. Our first home game was a success, to the tune of 16-0 against Franklin. Baker led yells what was yells. Our good friend, Mr. John L. Igle- heart, passed away. Now for October. Prosperity must have returned; the Crescent asked, “Can you change a five spot?” Extension courses began, so the profs have more work to do. Gamma Delta chose Armitta Humke as their head and Thespians liked Marybelle Hopkins pretty much, too. Maurine Bailey Keefe gave child impersonations in chapel. Indiana State had to go and beat us by one point, the old meanies. Anyway, Banko got his pic¬ ture in the paper—just on general principles. On Friday the 13th Butler beat us. On the same day WC gave an Au-tumn party. They also started a series of Studio Hours with Miss Mote speaking at the first one. Homecoming was the twenty-first. We beat Rose Poly and had a big carnival afterwards. Phi Zetas won the cup for the best stunt. What became of the lid of the Soph coffin? On the twenty-eighth we held Wabash to a 0-0 tie. Praise Allah. November usually follows October. All this time Prexy went all over the country lec¬ turing on Europe and giving us all the proceeds. Good ole Prexy! Oakland City beat us, but Hollen heck could we help it. W T as Theby apologetic? At the second Studio Hour Miss Jones reviewed Lady of Godeys and we enjoyed it a lot. Louis Untermeyer ap¬ peared as the first lecturer on the Temple series and EC was well represented in the audience—after all, we got student tickets. Finally the girls got under way and we have a WAA with Mary Gleason at the head. Baker got his feelings hurt and resigned but after the school made the proper number of salaams to the tune of special chapels and what not, he reconsidered. The Speedsters won the soccer tourney, 1-0. Well, any¬ way they won. On the twenty-eighth, the CONTRAST was given, and was it good! Miss LeCompte certainly knows how to dish ’em out. It was in this month that Logsdon for the first time used the word “intimidate”—and the last time. Prexy showed us Rus¬ sian pictures on the 24th. The societies started their Gamma Delta parties. Were the Frosh disappointed when there really was no Sally Rand? Praise the faculty for having receptions. We got to wear our best clothes for once. Hurrah for Thanksgiving vaca¬ tion. On the last day of the month the Castalians had the football banquet. There will be no captain for next year. Octem, Novem, Decern. Hurray, the Woofenpoofs won the LinC contest. At least the campaign taught Eissler how to apply for a job. We enjoyed the business manager coming late to the banquet at the Sonntag. On the ninth the Sig Christmas tree went up and on the tenth Missy went up in our estimation as a darling Eager Heart. Banko was named on the All-State. He deserved it. First basketball game. Lots of Christmas parties. Everybody gave ’em. We all wondered if Martha Ellen Roberts ever used the can opener she got as a present. Prexy’s present to us was almost $900 he made on his lectures. Philos had a stag dinner at the Mosque. The All-school Xmas party was swell, only some people had to take after the three pigs, so there wasn’t any candy left for me. It was kinda Dippy though when not everybody caught on to the presents that Santy gave, nicht wahr, Alma? The holidaze lasted from the 15th to the 2nd, and did we make the most of ’em. A new year and a new policy in the Crescent—more features, and we like it. We saw by that noble periodical that Ingle had completed a study of college marriages and McCutchan the size of families!!?? Banko got the Kiwanis medal. More joy registered. Phi Zetas presented the last art chapel by societies. We liked the artistic way in which Nickels slapped that bass. KKK gave a chalk talk just before finals. Finals. Period. Nuff said. Dr. Sherwood Eddy came to us. Big semester-end dance. Everybody agreed that the alumni part of Joy Nite at Bosse was best. The LinC-Crescent party showed that there was more dirt slung in the women’s lounge when the men were admitted than when the room is used for ordinary purposes. Campus Notables are chosen. Dyer de¬ cides to give them a page in the LinC since her Connie was among those elected. As Whitman would say, “The second month.” We’re now settled into the second semes¬ ter. Rush activities played the lead for some time. Ledbetter sang in chapel—and also at Sig meeting. CWA put 27 to work. Orchids to Roosevelt. Dr. Gilbert of the Boston ' F BBBm. ■ w . f ■k - . JSsEiP a: ' ini ■ ' • ' , Good Will Institute made friends with us. The best chapel of the year occurred when Bishop Blake was here. Art McDowell spoke at Joint YM-YW. Things I still don’t know: why the YM always invites the YW to socialist meetings. Religious Emphasis week proved to be very profitable to many. Dr. Fifer was a grand personality. Tennis comes to people’s minds and an association was formed. We were host to the State Oratorical contest on the 16th. The debate teams went to Manchester and made a 100% record—no runs, no hits, no errors. Everybody went around asking everybody else, “Which one of my proofs do you like the best?” We got all writ up in the papers about our Indiana relic museum. The WAA had their Hike on Wheels on the day of our big¬ gest snow storm of the year. It was noble of the Phi Zetas to postpone their initiation to the day when the Trustees could see it. Sigs banqueted the basketball team. The Alumni All-college Dance a big success. Harpers hold talkies for students. Do we like ’em. Formal series began. Girls really beautiful in crisp, ruffly gowns—with trains! Crescent popularity contest created a lot of interest. Practice te achers prevision nervous breakdowns. Elections. Seniors entertained until their head spins. Won’t be long till all is over. And then I’ll be seeing you again in good ole vacation time. So long.
