Mr. Karl K.

Wheeler. As trustee and friend he has held the interest of our college uppermost in his mind and affections and has worked unceasingly for its welfare. Mr. Wheeler is treasurer of the board of trustees and chairman of the executive committee of the board. Through the years he has given generously of his time, ability, and professional service as legal adviser and coun¬ sellor. Not only has he consistently refused to accept re¬ muneration for such services, but he has given generously of his own means to the financial support of the institu¬ tion. In Mr. Wheeler Evansville College has a friend for whom all of us are thankful and whom all of us admire. We are happy, by this dedication of our LinC, to pay tribute to him in terms of appreciation and affection. , i ALL REMEMBER There will come a day When I shall find Here In this book Names almost forgotten, Faces I no longer see. And I shall remember Words that were spoken, Hard words harshly spoken, Happy words and gentle; But the hard words will be softened, Their sharp edges gone, The happy words mellowed Into cadence and song.

EARL E. HARPER, S.T.B., D.D. PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE In spite of the fact that the past year has been a hard one for our college, it has been a successful one only through the untiring devotion of our presi¬ dent. He has given unsparingly of his time and services that Evansville College may be the highest type of school and that its students may come in contact with the truest ideals and standards of liv¬ ing. STUDENT-FACULTY FEDERATION The student government organization at Evansville College has been very successful during the past year accomplishing the desired high quality of cooperation and understanding between the faculty and student body of the college in regard to all problems of the school life. The Student-Faculty Federation at Evansville College functions through the Administrative Board and the eight committees. These eight committees consist of three faculty members and three student members. Each committee takes charge of all activities falling under the head of their particular group, such as: Athletics, Fine Arts, Promotion and Public Occasions, Pub¬ lic Speech, Publications, Religious Life, Social Life, and Wel¬ fare. One faculty member in each group serves as a chairman for that group with one student member serving as vice- chairman. This past year has been an unusually active one. Due to a crisis when the president of the Student Association withdrew from school after the first few weeks of the fall semester, several amendments to the Student Association Constitution were passed remedying the situation and providing that no such situation would arise in the future. One of these amend¬ ments provides for a special election to be conducted by the Student Council, the student members of all the various com¬ mittees and the officers of the Student Association, in the case of a vacancy in the presidency. Another amendment provided that both candidates for the Student Association offices should be elected in the primary instead of one of the two being ap¬ pointed by the Election Board, composed of the outgoing officers plus the defeated candidates of the last election, as was for¬ merly the case. The third amendment made it possible for any inefficient Student-Faculty Federation Committee member to be removed from a committee upon the majority vote of the mem¬ bers of that committee. Several by-laws were also passed deal¬ ing with details of these amendments. The committees themselves also had a very active year. New contracts with the various social societies upon the dancing question, a new program of matinee dances, and new men’s pledging rules were the outstanding contribution of the Social Committee. The recognition of debate and oratory activities in the form of gifts of five dollars to all eligible students for the entrance fee to Tau Kappa Alpha, honorary oration and debate fraternity, was passed by the Public Speech Committee. ADMINISTRATIVE BOARD The Administrative Board composed of the three deans of the college, the three officers of the Student Association, and the President of the college, serves as a connecting link be¬ tween the faculty and the Student Association. As an executive body, it receives reports of all committees established by the Federation and has charge of all general administrative and disciplinary matters in the life, work, and government of the college. It is therefore a Board of Review and a Court of Appeals. Any action of this board is subject to the referen¬ dum by students and faculty. President Earl E. Harper Dean Charles E.

Our entrance in the fall of ’31 marked the first year that E. C. was recognized as an accredited college. In our sophomore year the present Student-Faculty Federation Association was adopted. Other important events during our stay here have been the organization of two new societies on the campus, Pi Kappa Mu for the women and Alpha B eta Tau for the men, the introduction of the new Department of Music into the curriculum, and the erection of the Men’s Lounge. Ours has been a well rounded development according to the ideals of our college seal, and we have had outstand¬ ing leaders in the various fields. To the faculty and administration we express our deepest appreciation, and to our fellow students we extend our sincerest wishes for continued success in future years. The Class of ’35.

Much time, work, and energy have gone into its making but many friendships and good times have also resulted. It has only been through the cooperation and good fel¬ lowship created between the editorial and business staffs that this book has been able to grow and develop into its finished form. We owe many thanks to the loyal support of the student body, and also to Mr. Larry Coley, Norman Muth, Ed Rech, and Neil Walden for their help and services in producing this year’s book. May the next year’s staff be as lively, interested, and wholeheartedly enthusiastic as this 1935 staff has been. 1935 LINC STAFF BETTY BONHAM Assistant Editor JACOB HENN Assistant Business Manager ELIZABETH FROMAN WILLIAM SCHNUTE Art THOMAS DUNCAN Photography MARION ROTH OLEVIA DAVIS Activities MILDRED EISSLER KENNETH McCUTCHAN Classes RUTH KILBERT CECILE HOVDA Features CONSTANT HARTKE ALFRED ROSE Athletics FAYE KINGSBURY THOMAS INGLE Societies and Fraternities PAUL J.

The purpose of the column was to allow space for and to encourage student opinion, and to gain interest in the editorial policy of the paper. Columns of athletics, editorial and news comment, crea¬ tive writing, Prexy Says, and feature material were written by staff members selected by the editor at the beginning of each semester. Particularly commendable this year was the unusually successful balance maintained between the editorial de¬ partment and business department headed by Joseph Theby.

W. C. A. is open to any wom¬ an in the College. The association tries to provide educational, inspirational, and social contacts not afforded by other organizations on the campus. To this end, varied programs are presented at weekly meetings. Every active member of the Y. W. C. A. has an opportunity to serve on a committee headed by one of the cabinet members. Representation on the Indiana Area Committee of the Geneva Region of the National Student Y. W. C. A. Movement and participation in various state conferences has helped to make it a more active organization. President Marion Todrank y.M.C.A.

The purpose of the organization is as follows: 1. To offer to every man in college the opportunity to participate in a program for a well-rounded de¬ velopment of Christian personality. 2. To promote among ourselves a fellowship in Christian living and service, and to participate with other colleges 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 thinking of the college toward a Christian solution of such problems. The projects undertaken by the Y. M. C. A. upon the campus the past year have included such things as: a survey of the campus organizations, a study of the Youth Movement and the world problems with which it deals, the aiding of Freshmen at the be¬ ginning of the school year, and the publication of the Student Directory. WOMEN’S COUNCIL OFFICERS President.Marion Roth First Vice-President.Bethel Boston Second Vice-President.Faye Kingsbury Secretary....Marion Hemmer Treasurer.Evelyn Armstrong Y. W. C. A. President.Marion Todrank Upon enrollment into Evansville College each woman student becomes a member of the Women’s Council. This organization came into being thirteen years ago to further the social, intellectual, and moral interests of every woman. The Council has sponsored a number of social events for women during this last year such as, a treasure hunt with the Gamma Deltas as special guests, a Thanksgiving Tea Dance, and a series of informal teas at the home of Mrs. Harper. The Council sponsors the election of the May Queen each year, the annual May Day Festival, and main¬ tains the Women’s Lounge which was furnished as a gift by the Women’s College Club of Evansville.

Legg The Men’s Council was organized in September, 1933. It has as its purpose the promoting of all interests, not otherwise provided for, which affect the life of the men of the college. Its functions are thus similar to those of the Women’s Inter-Society Council. Every regularly enrolled man is a member. The work of the Council is administered by an Execu¬ tive Board which consists of the dean of men and two representatives from each of the men’s social societies, plus 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 sec¬ retary, who is elected each semester from the student members of the Board. Half of the Board members hold office for a year, the other half for one semester. In 1934 the Council sponsored a movement to provide a lounge for the men but it was unsuccessful at that time. This past fall, however, the Council reinitiated the movement, and Charles Zapp was appointed a com¬ mittee of one to investigate the possibilities of erect¬ ing on the campus a separate frame building for that purpose. The present lounge, built by the men of the college, is the result of that effort. The Council this year also drew up and saw adopted by the Administrative Board a set of pledging rules for the three men’s societies.

The purpose of the organ¬ ization is to discover and solve the common prob¬ lems confronting the women’s societies and to regu¬ late the affairs of mutual interest among them. This year the Council has passed several very important rules pertaining to rushing. They limited the bid list in terms of a quota of 30 members, and they changed the penalty in regard to the violation of pledging rules from a society punishment to a personal penalty. The Council also sponsored an Inter-Society Playday and picnic May 14 on the college campus. ,0 HOME ECONOMICS CLUB President.Dorothy Neu Vice-President.Mary Ella Vogel Secretary-Treasurer.Mary Jane Lensing MEMBERS Marjorie Alldredge Evelyn Armstrong Louanna Baker Bethel Boston Hilda Brackwinkle Mary Durell Virginia Jeffries Eloise Jones Mary Jane Lensing Marion Lumley Janet Major Grace Monroe Dorothy Neu Maurine Overfield Ruth Shriver Mary Louise Thomas Mary Ella Vogel The Home Economics Club was organized in May, 1930, to promote interest in Home Economics among students majoring or minoring in that subject. In September of the same year, the local club became affiliated with the state and national Home Eco¬ nomics organizations. The outstanding project of the Club during the past year was a waffle supper to which all students were invited. Meals were served to other groups, includ¬ ing the college trustees. THE CHOIR The Evansville College Choir is composed of twenty- four voices, chosen on the basis of competitive try¬ outs, and addresses itself to the study and perform¬ ance of the best forms of choral literature. The choir not only furnishes music for certain Col¬ lege functions thruout the year, but also presents many set programs before high school and church audiences. This year’s activities include local ap¬ pearances in or near Evansville, as well as extended trips to all parts of Southern Indiana. Outstanding in the year’s work was the performance of Van Denman Thompson’s oratorio “The Evangel of the New World” by the combined choirs of Evansville College and DePauw University. The per¬ formance was given under the baton of Dean R. G. McCutchan of DePauw, with Dr. Thompson, the composer, at the organ, and with a quartette of Ralph Waterman Carl Bosecker Kenneth McCutchan Robert Baker Robert Ledbetter Cyrus Worrall Vincent Parker Karl Schuessler Jacob Henn Thomas Hutchinson Aaron Still Mildred Brown, accompanist Dr. I. M. Blackburn, director professional soloists. The choir members are: Bethel Boston Louise Wilson Daisy Harmon Faye Kingsbury Cecile Hovda Mary Black Mabel Nenneker Margaret Rose Koch Jean Meyer Geneva Fortune Miriam Patrick Luella Bergman THE ORCHESTRA The Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra was inte¬ grated with Evansville College in the fall of 1934 when Professor Gaylord H. Browne, Head of the Music Department of the College, became its con¬ ductor. Beginning with a nucleus of 35 members the orchestra has grown and has been able to present two public performances during its first season. This group of 60 players is composed of musicians from the public schools and the College as well as pro¬ fessional musicians of the city. This organization has been considered a college activity for it offers to the college student one half credit hour per semester for attendance at rehears¬ als. To all others who take part in its activities the or¬ chestra, under the direction of Professor Browne, offers the opportunities of studying and taking part in the interpretation of the finest symphonic litera¬ ture. THESPIANS ■St - OFFICERS 1934-35 First Semester Second Semester President Paul Oberst.Karl Schuessler Vice-President Aaron Still.Evelyn Armstrong Secretary-Treasurer Evelyn Armstrong.Evelyn Behrens Playreading—Mildred Brown The Thespian Dramatic Society presented a varied and interesting series of major and minor produc¬ tions during the 1934-35 season. Included in these was the annual Christmas Festival play, Eager Heart, given in connection with the college choir. The Thespians returned to the contemporary theater for the first production of the year, The Wind and the Rain, a charming comedy of university life by Merton Hodge. Late in March rehearsals were begun for the pro¬ duction of Moliere’s comedy, (to be given in the fall) The School for Husbands, presented in a clev¬ er adaption in rhyme by Guiterman and Langner. Mrs. Harper and Professor Browne directed the music for the presentation, and Miss Rodgers helped with the dances, assisting Miss LeCompte, dramatic director. In addition to the productions, the society’s activities included playreading meetings and informal social gatherings.

Two one-man teams were organized to debate before local groups: Thomas Ingle and Paul J. Scheips dis¬ cussed the munitions problem, and Louis Ritz and Herbert Roberts debated the question of collective bargaining. Herbert Roberts represented Evansville College in the Sixty-first Annual State Oratorical Contest which was held at Franklin College. His subject was “Emotionalism and the World of Tomorrow.” TAU KAPPA ALPHA Tau Kappa Alpha, honorary oration and debate fraternity, was or¬ ganized at Evansville College in 1928.

May The membership of Double Alpha is composed of students preparing to enter the ministry and of ministerial faculty members. The purpose of the club is to promote Christian fellowship, mutual help¬ fulness, and spiritual inspiration. The Double Alpha programs for this year have cen¬ tered around the Aims, Curriculum, and Organiza¬ tion of Religious Education. One lecture by an out¬ side speaker, two book reviews, and a discussion of each of the three subjects by the students is the manner in which each of these subjects were pre¬ sented. Several social nights were also included in the activities of the club. The outstanding activity of the club is the Holy Week Services which were conducted by the mem¬ bers of the club. It is the hope of the club that these services will be made a traditional feature of the yearly program. MEMBERS Frank Butler Richard Denboe Karl Detroy Maurice T. Eicholz Russell Huffman Glenn H. Kaetzel Grester Kemp Harold Leonard Glenn D. Miller Robert Wenner Charles Zapp Paul Lewis Edwin E. Deusner Thomas House ATHLETICS To our coach goes a great deal of the honor for his diligent efforts in producing the strong teams and arranging the hard but interesting schedules. The close of the 34-35 school year saw the Aces in possession of the best football record and one of the best basketball records in the history of the school. This is more appreciated when we remember that the schedule was harder than ever before. More power and success to Coach Slyker in the fu¬ ture at Evansville College. The new system of choosing a captain at the end of the season enables the players to select a man who has displayed a high degree of leadership, cooper¬ ation, and inspiration. Joe Graham was chosen by his team-mates as being this type of a fellow. Joe played four years of hard, clean, driving football for Evansville College and he truly deserves the honor that was bestowed upon him by being elected cap¬ tain of the ’34 football team. BASKETBALL CAPTAIN Walter Riggs, the only four year varsity man on the 1934-35 basketball team, was elected captain of the speedy Purple Ace quintet. Walt lead the team to a successful season against probably the strongest schedule of opponents in many years. Rigg’s driv¬ ing speed and clean playing was inspirational and stimulating to his team mates. He gained and kept close cooperation between the players, which is an important factor in a winning team and one that can only be obtained by a natural leader. FOOTBALL CAPTAIN ■ - .

By including a variety of sports in its program the association hopes to interest every girl on the cam¬ pus. Among the regular sports included each year such as: soccer, field hockey, volley ball, basketball, speedball, swimming, track, and tennis, the two new sports of deck tennis and archery were introduced this year by Miss Hazel Rodgers, the director. Representatives of this organization attended the State Play Day held at Earlham College this year. Another project undertaken by them this year was the creation and production of the dances used in the annual May Day Festival. CHEER LEADERS Bob Fenneman and the Freeman twins Jane and Louise were chosen at the beginning of the school term to organize and direct the cheering of the college students and supporters at pep assemblies and football and basketball games—a task which required inspirational leadership and concentrated effort on their part. May we extend thanks and ap¬ preciations to these capable three. They worked hard to produce the very best organized cheering possible. FEATURES CAMPUS LEADERS MARION TODRANK MARION ROTH FAYE GILPATRICK Since all three women Campus Leaders have taken their major work in the Department of Lan¬ guage and Literature, the women have not had as varied fields. It is interesting to note however that both Marion Todrank and Marion Roth served on the Administrative Board in ’34-’35 as secretary and treasurer respectively and that all three are members of different so¬ cial societies and have served as presidents of their particular groups. Faye Gilpatrick has been president of the Castalians, Marion Roth of the Theta Sigmas, and Marion Todrank of the Gamma Ep¬ silon Sigmas. They have all three been outstanding in scholarship as well as leadership. CAMPUS LEADERS THOMAS INGLE THOMAS NICKELS JOSEPH THEBY The three men chosen by the deans this year as Campus Leaders were outstanding in very different fields. Thomas Ingle, a Business Admin¬ istration student, has been most active in the field of college gov¬ ernment. Thomas Nickels with his major in English, has made his in¬ fluence most strongly felt through journalistic activities. Although Joseph Theby has taken an active part in the Business Administra¬ tive Department, he has been par¬ ticularly outstanding in athletics. It is interesting to note that all three of these men have held im¬ portant positions on the Crescent Staff. Thomas Ingle served as busi¬ ness manager in ’34, Joseph Theby as business manager in ’35, and Thomas Nickels as editor in ’35.

I see you leaning against the walls or sitting down under a tree in the Retreat or something, reading and en¬ joying this LinC. Ladies and gentlemen (I re¬ peated that. Aren’t you flattered?) do you know that what you are now reading in June was written on March 27th? And do you know that Hester told me with her own lily white hands that if I didn’t get this calendar in by Friday, she’d wring my neck? (Pleasant weather we had in September.) And that re¬ minds me, this is a calendar. Let me transport you back to September. Remember how we said, “Vacation was very nice, but we’ll be glad to get in harness again” —but how glad we were that school started a week later than usual? And how the Frosh enrollment doubled? Profs yelled, “Hurray, we eat!” The campus-walker-acrossers were little dismayed at the “brass rail” in front of the Ad Bldg. (If you Frosh have learned that that means the college, your year will not have been spent in vain.) Everyone was much ex¬ cited over the survey tower on our front lawn. Some thought oil had been discovered. Annual campus party finally came off again. Pres. Baker outlined his 16 point program to sell EC to the dear publick and then resigned to sell pickles. Football got started. (Please turn to sports section.) Oh, lots of things happened in September, tra la, tra la. So October came. And so did the pretty pic¬ tures from the Schurz foundation. And every¬ one laughed so much that one of the pictures said, “Going Home.” Senior men came forth in milk white cords, and then did all they could to get them to match their grey sweaters. Ingle was elected President of student asso¬ ciation. His triple entente was very much pleased. Our new Prof. Browne organized the Philharmonic Orchestra. One. order for one white carnation for his buttonhole. Classes started organizing with Riggs, Prexy of our dearly beloved seniors, and Herbie got the Soph gavel. Any number of freshmen got ex¬ cused from English Comp. The YW cabinet went up to Indiana Central to the training school and got a brilliant idea to edit a pam¬ phlet. Hallowe’en parties were very enjoyable. October is a very nice month but is used most¬ ly in preparation for Homecoming in Novem¬ ber. So November came. It couldn’t help itself. Browne (mentioned in October) gave his duo- violin concert with Mr. Walters. The third was Homecoming, with Philos being the top as far as the stunts were concerned, and neither EC nor Wabash being the top as far as the score was concerned, but everybody feeling like a top at the dance. The “Howling Hundred” were pretty swell—but the rope for the tug of war wasn’t. This was the month when the plans for the men’s lounge were begun. Did those men feel cocky! The YM held a series of talks on the various organizations of the school. Ho hum, more orientation, said the Frosh. YW had a very profitable silver tea on the 21st and sent all the silver to China. Freshmen were THE CALENDAR acquainted with their first mid-terms. The eter¬ nal war-peace question started the riot again. Miss Dimmet was here from India to talk, so the Harpers left for Mexico. And speaking of French, Frau Place had her all-American French plays again this year. Football ban¬ quet by the Castalians. YM and YW cabinets had a party. Philos had a dance so I heard. Prexy got an offer to be Prexy in Oklahoma, but aintcha glad he stayed here? So in December Scheips and Ingle debated armaments. Football awards were awarded. Basketball season opened. Philos all decided to advertise themselves by wearing emblems. Wasn’t Beeler a honey in Eager Heart? And didn’t Theby deserve that Kiwanis medal? The old rounds of Gamma Delta parties commenced. Societies were having Christmas parties right and left. That Olde English chapel was a dilly. Well, at least the pop-corn was good. Prexy arrived home with grapefruit and visions of silver candelabras. Phi Zetas and Sigs gave a dance or so I was informed. YW sold holly to balance that budget. Several of the profs went South—I mean to Florida. Lots of people went lots of places and did lots of things, except study over them there holidaze. So what? So January came. A new year. A new prof. Since Wyatt left, White stepped up to bat. Our varsity team played good ball but not half as funny basketball as the Phi Zeta-Philo teams. Campus Notables were noted by the Thetas. Pat Mellen won a Chewy, the lucky so-’n’-so. The LinC contest ended with Slade’s team the winnah! And after all the work I did! I’m disgustipated. Gamma Delts and Fac¬ ulty Dames pledged to help furnish the lounge; while in spite of consistent prodding the men thought that Mr. Schultz could do a better job of it than they could. So they continued to decorate the front hall. Harpers had a talkie for out-of-town students. Verra nice. The weather was verra cold, or did I just have cold feet because finals finally finalled. So we took a long breath before February came. And then we all plunged into the new term, rushing, pledging, pledge dinners and first degree. After that we studied a bit. (Profs please take notice.) 0. Herbert Roberts, college orator, tried out his speech on us before he went to Franklin. Central Hi established a scholarship fund by giving a play. That great big choir trip finally came off. Debate team went to Manchester and came home again. Please understand that all this time the bas¬ ketball team has been playing basketball and it was darn good basketball too. Well, if noth¬ ing else happened, remember that this was a short month. So. Oh my golly, all the plays that happened this month. March that is. The Shakespeare plays were grand and the long-looked-for Wind and Rain arrived with rain on raincoats but -sans wind. Hurray, we have a new librarian. The assistants were very glad to get a boss even if it did mean Thraldom. Mrs. Schultz took over the T-hut and did we like those cakes and stuff. Sigs had their annual basket¬ ball banquet. The dancing problem was dis- THE CALENDAR cussed at a mass meeting of societies. Phi Zeta initiation was something of a riot; many thought on entering the building that they had mistaken it for Woodmere. Formal Lenten services began. The Fleming-Vining recital was a wow, if we can use that term on any¬ thing as aesthetic as it was. YW gave another of those infernal silver teas, and WC gave one you didn’t have to pay for. The Sophs devel¬ oped that most annoying habit of walking out on assemblies. New prof started new chess club on new idea to have a tourney. I didn’t know there were so many chess-nuts around here. In the spring the tennis club sprouts out as fresh as the forsythia, but blackberry win¬ ter came. So April and with it the spring rains and the Heckler. Will you ever forget it—the Heck¬ ler, I mean. And will the staff ever live it down? Well, the men’s lounge had its official opening on the 12th. I doubted if I would ever get to write that in these hyar pages. Holly¬ hocks and forgetmenots to those who made it possible. Philos had their formal on the 12th and Phi Zeta on the 27th, decorations predom¬ inating in both. A bunch went to Play Day at Earlham and TKA went to Cincinnati. Easter vacation. Whoops! Biology majors took advan¬ tage of it and went to the Smokies. YW had a big rummage sale. And the biggest event of the year, ladies and gentlemen, the financial drive, $50,000 worth. At the time this is being written no results are yet known. To be on the safe side, fill in one of the blanks: (1) I will attend EC next year. (2) There will be no EC next year. Thetas had an alumnae tea. Those matinee dances seem to have gone over pretty big. So May-be this will be done pretty soon. Se¬ nior reception had all the seniors getting Em¬ ily Post out of the library to see how to write those RSYP’s. Maybe formals had something to do with the added circulation too. Sigs, Thetas and Castalians all held theirs. With this new human interest department in our curriculum enrollment should double. Poetry festival on the 11th. Mother’s Day teas given by both Castalians and Thetas. Nice idea. And now after mentioning such nice aesthetic things, maybe I’d better say something about elections. I suppose the best man won. Con¬ gratulations whoever you are. The 22nd saw the crowning of the May Queen and Rodger’s May Fete. So finally the month came that we’ve looked for since September, and the seniors have looked for since September four years ago. Class day on the fifth, with Tommy Hart In¬ gle as class orator. And finals for all except the seniors. And commencement especially for them. They certainly deserved it. And speak¬ ing of just desserts, this section of the LinC, in behalf of the entire LinC wishes to each and every member of the graduating class a nice, big, fat, steady job, with gobs of whipped cream and a cherry on the top. And you may do the same for me next year. RUTHIE. Mr. Karl K. Knecht, artist on the Evansville Courier and Journal Staff, chose the four Line beauties for this year. Mr. Knecht has made a study of, and has done much work in connection with, the professional stage and screen and with amateur productions of all kinds. In judging the four most beautiful Evans¬ ville College girls, Mr. Knecht selected first from photographs, but saw the girls in person before making his final decision. The points upon which he chose these girls were regularity of feature and general attractiveness, rather than type or person¬ ality. Mr. Knecht’s selection was based upon, first the most beautiful girl and then the three next most beautiful with no order as to preference, with the exception of the first choice. KARL K. KNECHT This group of nine girls is the final group from which Mr. Karl Knecht selected the four most beau¬ tiful girls of Evansville College. These were the same pictures he used in making his selections, and it was this group that he saw personally before giving his decision.
