Quaker ESTABLISHED 1893 CAuroraJe1905 tQuakerJ. Once again a yearbook has been published which the Junior Class has tried to make rep- resentative of William Penn College and the students. Many members of the class have worked hard and suffered many trials and dis- appointments in order to present a book with as few faults as possible and with results which they hope everyone likes. An historical theme was chosen for the Quaker to emphasize the excellent record of William Penn College and set forth clearly the traditional ideals. Historical dates were carc- fully compiled by competent members of the staff and the book divided into three sections based on the establishment of the present col- lege and its predecessors, If any mistakes in dates were made it is only because data in- formation was incorrect. Every organization on the campus is rep- resented in this annual, and there are only a very few students whose pictures do not ap- pear in some group. lf the facial expressions of some are not as flattering as the owner would wish, it is not necessarily the fault of the staff photographer but most likely due to individual carelessness. The staff would like to please everyone, but, according to the law of human nature, this is quite impossible. Several innovations have been made in the 1940 Quaker including double column type, character sketches of the Senior Class, arrangement of candid snapshots in the back of the book, and inclusion of ofhcers' pictures with almost every organization. Although these changes may seem radical to some, the staff feels confident that such changes will be pleasing to the majority. This year, as last, the annual became a member of the National Scholastic Press Association and as such is entitled to be judged and given a rating in the National Scholastic contest for college publications. Although the 1940 Quaker may not acquire a rating, it has tried to attain high rating standards. As the years go on succeeding Quaker staffs will proht from the experiences of former staffs until our annual will be recognized and rated with the Hnest of college yearbooks. Heres to the future of our college yearbook- 'fhc Quakerl T011 Row!P. Ellis, Mills, D. Morris, Kiester, F. A. Ellis. Minute Rowa- Crawford. McCormick, J. johnson, Latham. BOT- 'roM Row-Leonard, B.

Chronicle ESTABLISHED 1885. The Chronicle staff this year has attempt- ed to strive for several new goals. Knowing Paul Ellis, you would expect originality in his newspaper, wouldn't you? They have tried to enlist more student participation by the Letters to the Editors columns. The response has shown a large degree of interest in activities varying from the European war to--alarm clocks in Chapel. A strictly journalistic style has been fol- lowed on the front page with the news items, but the articles on the other pages have not necessarily conformed to such rules. This again has stimulated more student writing. There have been as many underclassmcn on the staff as possible in order to train for next year. Two of the department editors were freshmen who did their work well. ln order to make a more attractive Chroni- cle, a better quality of paper was used. The difference in appearance was certainly more than worth the small difference in price. TOP RowfVVilson, Mills, P. Ellis, Dillon, Bucking- h . Burrow R o xv if McCracken, Kincaid. The hrst semester the Chronicle sponsored a contest to discover creative writers on the Campus. Two 1040 Quakers were offered for the best original prose and poetry articles. These were won by Glenn lforsythe and Alice jones respectively. THE STAFF Editor-in-Chief .. ......

Football The 1039 Penn football squad closed the season with a 500'Z, for the second straight year. They won three games, lost three, and tied two. Had it not been for injuries at the close of the season, especially in the final Dubuque game, the fighting Quakers might have won the conference. The potentially strong team lost a heart- breaking season opener when the Western Illinois State Teachers' squad sent a perfect dropkick spinning over the goal posts with but eight seconds left to play. Macomb had scored early in the game after receiving a Penn fumble deep in the latter's territory. Penn counted in the fourth period when Dick Raben- old ran a punt back hfty-five yards and Chuck Bainbridge carried the ball thirty yards to score. The Penn fellows drove deep into enemy ground on several occasions but lacked sufficient scoring punch and lost by a score of 6-9. The Upper Iowa game at Oskaloosa was the Hrst important Iowa Conference win for the Quakers in several years. They made the first touchdown in the third quarter, march- ing forty-four yards to a score. In the fourth quarter Bainbridge ran thirty-eight yards to the second yard line after intercepting an Upper Iowa pass. The Parsons game at Ifairfield was Hereely contested by both teams. Although behind at the half, the Blue and Gold rallied back Hghting to even up the count when Rabenold went over on an end sweep. Toi' ROW--VVhalin, VVi!kening, Stevenson, V. Moehring.
