To our Miss Harper, the 1938 McKEN- DREAN is dedicated. It is her spirit that inspires love and admiration in all who know her. When one thinks of Miss Harper, one thinks of Music of which it has been said :

"Servant and Master am 1. . . Through my spirit immortals speak the message that makes the world weep and laugh, and wonder and worship. . . For I am the instrument of God. I am Music."

CLARK R. YOST, A.R., D.D. President

"To be alive in such an age!

To live in it! To give in it!

Rise, soul, from thy despairing knees.

Give thanks and clasp thy heritage —

To be alive in such an age!"

Angela Morgan.

To thcjse who have in any way been associated with Dr. Yost in the three years that he has been with us, surely this challenge has been given a new meaning. He has shown by his life the true mean- ing of the term "Christian Gentleman."

W. C. WALTON, Ph.D., D.D. Treasurer

Dr. W. C. Walton, who has served so long and faithfully as instructor in the department of Philosophy and Religion, is continuing his service to IMcKendree by filling the position of Treasurer of the College.

CHARLES J. STOWELL, Ph.D. Dean

Dr. Stowell, in this his first year as Dean of McKendree College, has carried the same thoroughness, so typical of his classroom work, into the administrative duties of his new office. Many students have this year been associated with him who otherwise would not have been privi- leged to know him and gain the benefit of his many years of experience in work- ing with college students.

EDWIN P. BAKER P,.A., M.A., LL.D.

"Tending fozvards moral ririu ti'as his spcchr, •\nd gladly zvoldc he Icrnc, and gladly tcchc."

Chaucer.

A life which has been lived as has Dean Baker's — in almost reverent dedication to the understanding of youth and its problems — has left an indelible mark upon all who have known him. One can- not know Dean Baker, even casually, and not be influenced by the beauty of a soul which lives with God.

Dear Bun:

Well, I'm here. Arrived last night and after stalking through the "tall tim- bers" for ten minutes and barging into couples on green benches here and there who gave directions I tinally hit the Dorm. Talk about activity !

The girls are awfully nice. I'm on third and they tell me my room is the envy of the house — it's the last one on the north side on the west end. I can't quite figure it out myself.

Today I registered. There were two things I wanted : I'rench and Shake- speare. You want t(j know what I got? I'll tell you. This is a rough idea of what happened :

6:15 — I am awakened by the most terriffic noise I ever heard. 'Phey tell me it's someone trying to blow the bugle for rising. Imagine! In the middle of the night !

6:45 — Same bugle — it's time for breakfast now. I turn over and go to sleep again.

9:30 — I saunter over into the office and begin to register. I must see Dr. Yost, they say. 1 don't want to see Dr. Yost, but they say I must. So, 1 get a number — 96. V.'hat does it mean? Nothing, only I am the 96th person to approach the President. What mmiber is in there now? Hmmmm, number 6.

10:00 — 1 have secured a long series of attached cards to fill in and I triumphantly charge the office force again. Number 11 is in now.

10:30 — The English Head is my adviser. She says I can't take Shakespeare — I want to take Shakespeare, so-o-o, I take Freshman Rhetoric. I must take Biology — you know, worms, and things. She puts a few more courses down ; I really don't care as long as I get to take French.

11:50 — I can't take French, because I have lo take History at the same time I want to take French. I don't want History, but, I take History.

12:00 — I take my wilted card and again crash the office force. What number's in now? 32!! What's more it's twelve o'clock, and the President is going home. So, I go home, too.

1 :15 — I'm back again, all ready for the second round. I must take Bible — I can't

graduate without Bible.

2 :30 — Well, well, they're up to number 47 now.

3:30 — Number 62!

4:30 — Number 78. My cards and questionnaires have been filled out and held in my hot and nervous hands so long, that the ink has run all over the place. I can't tell now whether my answer to "Do you need deferred payment?" was "yes" or "gas".

5 :30— Number 86. . . .

6:30 — Number 95!! The President has to quit sometime today, so he quits at number 95. He goes home for dinner. ( I go crazy — I haven't a nail left.)

Yours,

Chatty.

P. S. I got to go to Chapel, too. I don't want . . . Oh, well, what's the use?

A ^.exwoh. to UaA Mmxt YlflaieA

Four years, they tell us 'tis four years, —

Upon the face of calendar and by the stars, perhaps,

But surely 'tis but yesterday we came.

Just yesterday we saw your drowsy trees,

Quiet, slow-swaying, in September's idle breeze ;

First walked upon your cool, green carpet.

Heard your chapel bell

Peal out its self -same message as in years agone.

We were so care- free, were so gay.

We had four }ears in which to learn and play —

Four long, long, most interminable years

To somehow worrv throu'^di before we cjuld depart, Four years of stud}-, wc^-k, and mayhap, tears.

S1(J\\ h' thev began, dragging weary feet at times, perchance,

Those years.

Then graduall}- their pace c|uickened, tliey began to march,

This march became a cjuickstep, then broke into a run,

And now — thev have taken to tJTemselves wings — and we are at the end.

What have we done? Oh, this and that — Made friendships, broadened horizons, we hope, Sloughed off old, useless prejudices. Opened new vistas, gained a clearer view. Retained much that is old, and added new.

Is there a place for us when we fare forth ?

We hope, we somehow do believe there is.

If we have shaped ourselves to fit into the scheme of things.

But we shall see.

Yes, we shall see.

But we shall go with lagging feet from you. Just as we came with lagging feet, perhaps, four years ago. And you shall hold forever in our heart of hearts, a shrine, At which, from time to time. Memory will pause awhile. To burn a bit of incense sweet to you.

Four years — they tell us 'tis four years.

We entered McKendree in '34, one of the largest classes of typically green Freshmen of recent years. In looking back over these four short years, one of necessity remembers the green caps, the victorious freshman fight, our first col- lege Homecoming, and our first college commencement. The Sophomore and Junior years passed quickly, bringing with them their joys — and sorrows. We at last reached the dignified state of Sen- iors and, all too soon, our own Com- mencement Day arrived.

It is with a note of joy and sorrow that we leave our Alma Mater, hoping in some way we have made it a little better, and that we will be worthy of its ideals.

Angel Roost, Oct. 17, 1937.

Dear Bun :

Well, I met him! Seating lists in the dining hall changed last week, and sud- denly— there he was ! He smiled, and I came up for air long enough to smile back at him. That was last Monday. Tliis is Sunday ! ! Why didn't 1 land him? Well, it's a long series of strategies, but here goes :

IMonday noon — (after that smile) 1 get the "lo — vel — y" weather safely decided and agreed upon, then suggest 1 have not seen the Country Club. He says he'd be tickled pink to take me — some time — only this afternoon he has to work on the Reviezv (he's editor, or something), and then, after that, he has football practice.

Monday evening — (another much larger smile) I say I've heard that the moon was almost as bright as the sun for seeing things. He thinks a moment, then remembers that his Philo literary society meets. I say I don't mind going later, but after that he has Bachelor Fraternity meeting. And, of course, we must be in when the clock strikes ten !

Tuesday noon — (I never get up for breakfast) He says he has football practice all afternoon.

Tuesday evening — Bless his heart ! He's in the glee club, too — rehearsal, 7 to 8. At 8, he has play practice ; belongs to some traveling troupe or something (he's in this because he can act ).

Wednesday noon — (still smiling) This afternoon, he has Sigma Tau Delta meet- ing, writing fraternity (he's editor, remember?). And, of course, football.

Wednesday evening — (I try new perfume tonight) He can't take a walk be- cause Y. M. C. A. meets right after dinner. Then he has Alpha Psi Omega meeting for their Fall Festival ( he's in this 'cause he's in the Players troupe 'cause he can act ! ) .

Thursday noon — (smile is growing more feeble) All afternoon — football ! You'd think they'd wear the thing out.

Thursday evening — My stars ! Glee club meets twice a week ! Tonight again, 7 to 8. Little Theatre m.eets as soon as they can chase the Glee Club out (he's in this 'cause he's in Alpha Psi 'cause he's in the Players 'cause he can act! See?).

Friday noon — (weakening to a grin) Football ....

Friday evening — This travelling troupe, McKendree Players, gives a performance tonight at Bellevelle. ( He's in this 'cause — Oh, well, skip it ! Fm all mixed up.)

Saturday noon — (only a sigh) Football. . . . '"M" Club meeting to decide on a football Queen contest for Homecoming.

Saturday evening — I quit ! He's going to a party — a stag party of the Bachelors. Could it be he doesn't like me ?

Sunday noon — (I got no smile. I got no grin. I got no sigh, — I got nothin' ! ) To- night he goes to Epworth League and Church !

So, here I sit, crying, wounded to the quick, trying to piece together the wreck that activities have made of my life. But experience comes quickly. Xext, I pick me a good-looking moron who's too dumb to do anything!

Love,

Chatty.

P. S. I would have answered your letter sooner, but Fve been rehearsing every afternoon and evening on the Homecoming Play.

After a mediocre season last year, the Bearcats came back with a rush and made a better showing than anticipated by their most ardent followers. Handi- capped by the lack of reserve material, the Purple and White presented a scrappy bunch who never knew when to quit fighting. To this fact may be laid much of the season's success.

Thev opened the season by upsetting the powerful North Central team, hold- ing them to a scoreless tie. The Purple then registered their first conference win in two years by trouncing Eureka 14-0. After losing to Cliillicothe, McKendree lost a heart-breaker to SINU. Leading all the way, the Bearcats tired in the last few minutes of play and dropped the decision. Coming back with a vengeance, the gridders walloped Oakland City in the Homecoming Game 52-0 one of the high scores of the nation. The next two battles were lost to St. Viator and Rose Polv. A victory over Shurtleff completed the win cf)lumn. The last game of the season was lost to Illinois College.

Three men were selected for All-Conference honors : Wayne Bise v,as named on the Internatioanl News Service Second Team, while Captain Issel- hardt and Malcom Randall were given Honorable Mention on the same All-Con- ference Team. Bise and Randall also were given Honorable Mention on the Associated Press AU-Star Selection.

WAYNE BTSE, Senior, Olmstead

INS All-Star Selection Second Team; Associated Press Honorable Mention ; Voted Most \'aliiable Man ; Three-Year Letterman.

Bise ended his gridiron career with a great year. He was one of the best ends McKendree has had. An excellent pass-receiver, a good defensive man. and a good blocker, he was always dangerous. His shoes will be hard to fill next year.

"Wayne Bise turned in a great performance at end." — East St. Louis Journal.

"On the first play Ward passed to Bise for the touchdown." — Bcllcvilic Daily Ad-jocatc.

"The play of Wavne Bise was again outstanding." — St. Louis Giobc-Dcmocrat.

MALCOM RANDALL, Junior, E. St. Louis

Guard; Co-Captain-elect; INS All-Star Selection Hon- orable Mention; Associated Press All-Star Selection Honorable Mention. Three-Year Letterman. Randall, as guard, missed only two minutes of play during the season. He was a tower of strength in the Bearcat line.

"Malcom Randall, a tiny watch charm guard, is establishing an iron man tradition at McKendree, not having missed a minute of play this season." — Chicago Daily News.

"He only tips the scales at 155 but he's all wool and a mile wide, and if Coach Blanchard can line up a few boys with the same courage, the Bearcats may go places next year. Mai Randall is ex- pected to become a fine leader for the 1938 McKendree eleven. — Bloomington Pantayraph.

DON WARD, Freshman, Collinsville Halfback; First-Year Letterman.

"Slingin' Don" Ward made a reputation with his passing abil- ity. His aangerons heaves kept McKendree in the ball game and re- sulted in many scores.

"Don Ward was slinging the pigskin high, wide and handsome." —E. St. Louis Journal.

SOL ERNST, Senior, E. St. Louis

Center ; Two-Year Letterman.

Although hampered by injuries the greater part of the season. Sol was very valuable to the Bearcats. His accurate passing and heady defensive work were important factors in the Bearcat machine.

"Sol Ernst played almost the entire game at the pivot position and turned in a good performance." — E. St. Louis Journal.

GEORGE HANDLON, Sophomore, Edwardsville Guard ; First- Year Letterman.

Handlon was the other watch-charm guard and missed very few minutes of play. A fighter, he was a terror on defense and con- tinually smashed plays. George made the Illinois College all-oppo- nent team.

"George Handlon turned in a great defensii'e game." — St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

"Handlon has not missed a minute of play so far this season. ^Chieaoo Daily .\e-fs.

"Handlon of Kdwardsville, starred on defense."— Bf//ci'i7/c' Daily .Advocate.

"Weber was a lion on dtt{ense."— Belleville Daily .-idvocate.

JOHN HARMON, Sophomore, Lebanon End, First Year Letterman.

"Ace" saw quite a bit of action in his first season of actual I'lav. He played great games against Shurtleff and I. C.

"Harmon played a great game, slashing through continually to ijrab ball-carriers."— £. St. Louis Journal.

DOYLE DONHAM, Senior. Ridgway Tackle; First Year Letterman.

In his first year of competition "Red" held down a regular berth. Big and strong, he turned in a fine season on the line.

"Donham recovered three fumbles."— .$■<. Louis Post-Dispatch.

"Randall kicked off and the receiver was dropped in his tracks by ])onham."— Belleville Daily .Advocate.

CHARLES LONG, Freshman. Granite City Halfback; First Year Letterman.

"Scud" was used mostly at blocking back, but did some fine ball lugging against Eureka. He also handled some of the kicking duties this year.

"Long fought his way to the 2-yard line."— £. St. Louis Journal.

MILTON SAGER, Sophomore, Mt. Vernon.

Center and Tackle; First Year Letterman.

Sager was invaluable the past season. He worked equally well at center and tackle, doing great work at both posts. He is big and aggressive and loves the game.

"Sager was on top of play all afternoon." — E. St. Louis Journal.

KELLEY SI.MAIONS, Sophomore, Wood River Halfback; First Year Letterman.

"Kel" was one of the shiftiest broken field runners on the squad. He demonstrated this against Oakland City. His future looks prom- ising, and he should develop into a valuable man.

CAPTAIN BERNARD ISSELHARDT, Jnuior. Belleville Quarterback; INS -\11-Star Selection Honorable Alen- tion ; Two Year Letterman.

Benny proved a real leader, his signal-calling showing his cool- ness under fire. He was also leading scorer of the Bearcats.

"Capt. Isselhardt plunged over for the first touchdown of the season." — E. St. Louis Journal.

"Isselhardt is being boomed by scribes for All-Conference hon- ors."— Cliicaiio Daily Nezvs.

"Capt. Isselhardt kicked the longest field goal in the conference on a snow-covered held."— Chicayo Daily News.

ARTHUR ]\IARTIN, Sophomore, Cypress Fullback; First Year Letterman.

Art didn't get going till the last of the season, when he played bsng-up ball. Big and tough. Art was hard to hurt.

"Martin, with an exhibition of sheer d.ive, went over the goal line."— C. St. Louis Journal.

ED POSAGE, Freshman. E. St. Louis

Fullback; First Year Letterman.

Big Ed was one of the reasons for McKendree's success on the gridiron. One of the best kickers in the conference, he got off sev- eral kicks of over 70 yards.

-MARVIN BITLER, Sophomore. E. St. Louis. Quarterback, First Year Letterman.

"Mar\" didn't get much chance to show his wares, substituting for Capt. Isselhardt. When he was in there, however, he made his jjresence known by his tackling.

KENNETH ATKINS, Sophomore. E. St. Louis Halfback; Two Year Letterman.

BART GREENWOOD, Freshman, West Frankfort End ; First Year Letterman.

Bart came to college without previous high experience in the game and landed a regular job. His work was always steady and dependable.

"Greenwood again turned in a good performance at end." — St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

HAROLD SHIPP, Sophomore, Sea Bright, N. J. Center; First Year Letterman.

Shipp was bothered with a knee injury but was valuable when he was in the line-up. A conscientious worker, he should go far.

While this year's edition of the Bearcats was not so successful in the won and lost column, the Purple and White have a season behind them of which they may be proud.

Coach Rlanchard's hardwood crew really stepped into the "big time" and played teams far over their heads. In meeting Western State from Kentucky and Western St3te from Michigan, McKendree opposed two of the finest basketball teams in the country.

In addition to the six major awards, tive minor awards were given to those who did not quite qualify for a letter. Among these were Benny Isselhardt, who was Rlanchard's first substitute throughout the season ; Doyle Donham, who closes his career by the graduation route ; Wendell Phillips, who also leaves via gradua- tion ; Bart Greenwood, a freshman with promise ; and Dick Carson, another fresh- man who bids fair to develop into a valuable man.

In the e_\-es of all concerned the basketball season of 1937-1938 was one of the most successful in recent years.

EDWARD JONES, Sophomore, MonnA City Guard ; Two Year Letterman. "Bud" was one of the strongest reserves called upon by Coach Blanchard. He performed at all posts and gave a good account of himself at all of them. He has one of the easiest shots on the squad and knows the game thoroughly. He came along rapidly at the end of the season and will fill a breach in the ranks next year.

JOHN HENDERSON, Sophomore, Thebes Guard ; First Year Letterman. "Jumbo" came up from the intra-mural ranks to win a regular berth on the varsity in his first year of competition. A good defensive man, he left most of the scoring to the other members of the team. Henderson has plenty of scrap and always fought till the last minute. With a year's competition behind hfrn, he should develop into a star.

JOHN HARMON, Sophomore, Lebanon Forward ; Two Year Letterman. "Ace" was third in the scoring column for the Bearcats. Serving as a substitute his first year, Harmon came back to clinch a regular berth. Big and strong, he could shoot with both hands equally well. Ace usually came through with his baskets when they were most needed. He scored m6st of his points with his famous pivot shot from near the free throw circle. With two more years to go, Harmon should develop into a brilliant man before he finishes his career.

DON WARD, Freshman. Collinsville Guard; First Year Letterman. Don came to AIcKendree from Collinsville with a great reputation as a basketliall player. He upheld the critics by living up to his reputation. Never a high scorer, Don was in his element on the defense. His quick, lightning move- ments broke up many offensive threats. He carried his passing ability from the gridiron and was responsible for many scores with his long passes down the floor.

CAPT. WAYNE BISE, Senior, Olmstead Center ; Four Year Letterman. With the passing of Wayne Bise, McKendree loses one of her basketball immortals. Always steady and dependa- !j!e, he could have plaved on almost any college team in the country. One of the best rebounders in this area, Wayne was a continual threat to opponents. For the second straight year he led all scoring, amassing 224 points in 17 games. Bise was also at the top of the heap in free throws garnered in the conference.

ROY JAECKEL, Junior, New Athens Forward; Four Year Letterman. Jaeckel again proved to be a tower of strength to the Bearcats. One of the best ball handlers in recent AIcKen- dree basketball history, Roy was a hard man to stop. His fire and love of the game make him a great player. Jaeckel was second to Bise in the scoring column, accounting for 158 points in 17 games. Roy will close his basketball career under the Purple and White next year, being eligible until February. He will be of great value to Coach Blanchar<! for the time that he is available.

With eight lettermen returning for the season, the l'ur]»le and White track team had a strong nucleus around wliich to build the cinder squad. The lettermen from the past season were : Wayne Bise, senior hurdler ; Carl Davis, senior miler ; Mai Randall, junior sprinter ; Myrl Herman, sophomore middle distance man ; Bob Langenwalter, sophomore miler; George Handlon, sophomore pole vaulter; John Harmon, sophomore javelin ace; and Art Martin, sophomore weight man,

Tn addition to these the following rounded out the squad : Ed Thilman, Bart Greenwood, Lester Hickman, Don Ward, Charles Long, Dale Broom, Wendell Phillips, George Pimlott, Roy Griebel, Fred Doerner and Lisle Mewmaw.

The Freshmen again won the Inter-Class meet, nosing out the Sophomores. The Seniors and Juniors brought up the rear.

The Bearcats closed strong last season and pulled the unexpected by winning the Quadrangular meet at The Principia. They continued their good work this season and piled up a successful record. In the light of the bad weather and continued handicaps preventing the cinder-men from getting in shape, the track squad should be congratulated on their splendid work.

The schedule for the season follows. All meets were held on Hypes F'ield. April 30 — The Principia. May 7 — Concordia. May 14 — Quadrangular Meet : Blackburn, The Principia,

Shurtleff, McKendree. May 21 — Quadrangular Meet : Milliken, Concordia, Shurtleff,

McKendree.

Varsity Softball, a new sport, came into the limelight at McKendree this year. The Bearcats played a shortened but successful schedule. With excellent material on hand, the Purple and White put a classy team on the field. This team proved hard to stop.

Those men returning from the championship team of last year which trounced Shurtlefif in extra innings 4-3 were : Roy Jaeckel, Malcom Randall, Benny Issel- hardt, George Handlon, Fred Doerner, Al Manis, and John Harmon. Several newcomers were added to the squad this year. Most promising of these were : Wayne Bise, Charles Hortin, Myrl Herman, Art Martin, Don Ward, Bart Green- wood.

At present, plans are in the making for forming an intercollegiate league in this area.

9^t^amu^a£l

The Intramural activities, always interesting, proved very spirited and lively this year. In basketball two leagues were formed, playing twice a week. The Sophomores won the Class League and Joe's Boys were victorious in the Inde- pendent League.

In the Softball League the champion A.iM.O. team was the favorite, with the Bachelors given an outside chance of winning. Four teams made up the league : A.M.O.'s, Bachelors, Allen's Aces, and Bohm's Bombers. Games were played twice a week under the Hood-lights.

PURPOSE To bring drama to audiences of Southern Illinois, to advertise the college, to afi^ord travelling repertoire experience to the players themselves and to experiment witli new plavs and audience reactions.

PLAYS The first six were written by Willard Friederich : "She Climbs Trees", "Again We Fight", "Road to Heaven", "There Comes a Time", "Bird of Passage", "Unto Justice". The seventh play is one of Elizabeth Gale's: "Not Such a Goose".

PLAYERS Betty Phillips, Madge Davis, Georgia Rush, Helen Handel, Harold Shipp, Clayton Campbell, and Willard Friederich.

CAPE GIRARDEAU TOURNAMENT Each year the Players sponsor McKendree's entry in the National Folk Drama Tournament at Cape Girardeau. This year the entry, "Unto Justice", by Willard Friederich, received the first prize of $50.00 in the play writing contest. Its presentation, April 9, 1938, included the following cast:

Lisbeth Wilson, mountaineer woman Betty Phillips

Birdie Wilson, her niece Helen Handel

Jamie Wilson, her son Willard Friederich

Lige Peters, her neighbor Fred Doerner

Maw Munsen, the "yarb woman" Clara Frances Boyd

For the third successive year, McKendree received the acting honors of the Tournament when Miss Boyd was given the gold cup for Degree of Special Dis- tinction Acting; Miss Phillips for Degree of Excellent Acting; and Doerner and Friederich tied for Degree of Superior Acting.

The play as a whole was awarded Degree of Excellence in performance.

HUNDRED THIRTY-EIGHT:

Senate yicjAiad

Members of this year's debate team travelled some two thousand miles, through three states, to engage in thirty forensic battles. At the National Pi Kappa Delta Convention in Topeka, Kansas, McKendree defeated Morningside, Sioux Falls, Greeley Teachers, Montana State, Kirksville Teachers, and Michigan State, losing to Maryville and St. Thomas. The local debaters received a rating of "Excellent", second highest honor given to any of the 104 teams participating.

Three members of the squad made a five-day trip into Northern Illinois for encounters with James Millikin, Illinois Wesleyan, Illinois Normal, DeKalb Teachers, and Wheaton College. John Oppitz and Clayton Campbell engaged in an exhibition debate over radio station WJJD, Chicago, on the question, "Re- solved, that war is the midwife of progress."

The other schools which McKendree met in debate this year were St. Louis University, vS.I.N.U., Cape Girardeau Teachers, Blackburn, and The Principia. The Pi Kappa Delta question, "Resolved, that the NLRB should be empowered to enforce the arbitration of all industrial disputes," was used throughout the season.

The only veterans on the team were Clayton Campbell and John Oppitz, both of whom were seniors with three years of previous debate experience. Isabel Shaffer, Dorothy Dausman, Ruth Schmedake and Marvin Rutler were the new- comers to the squad.

SEIVDS ITS BOLT INTO THE SCHOOL ANIVUAL FIELD

Just like a flash of lightning . . . CENTRAL'S ELEC- TROLYTICALLY ETCHED halftones are winning friends. Staff members as well as printers quickly grasp the advantages they offer.

Your copy is faithfully reproduced on copper, assur- ing perfect printing reproduction, because the dots are DEEP, CLEAN AND SMOOTH, insuring less 'wash up" on the press.

On all future engraving orders, insist on CENTRAL ELECTROLYTICALLY ETCHED PLATES.

You pay no more [or these better halftones.
