WE DEDICATE

Any words that we might use to characterize Dr. Owen seem somehow insignificant, for he is not only a great teacher, but also a very great man. While teaching English to Monmouth students, he inserts into his courses a basis for a way of life. Perhaps the only thing we can say is "Thank you, Dr. Owen, for the privilege of studying under you."

FEITURES

when you turn to this, the feature section, we want you to remember .... Monmouth, 1949 .... the rush of registration .... meeting old and new friends on the Walkout .... the shriek of the whistle calling us to class .... Polescrap .... spring and fall dances .... coffee in the Union .... Knox games .... chapel every morning .... cutting classes in the spring .... a year of memories .... Monmouth .... 1949 ....

Moumoiith is justly proud of her science department, for it is here that men and women are trained to help make a better world.

"Let's have a cup of coffee" .... easily the most popular phrase heard about campus. How many hours we spend hi the Union each day'.

Through knowledge and understanding ive become better fitted for life, both now and in preparation for ficture years.

Recreation is an important part of our life at Munnioiith, for here ivc have found friendships ithicb will continue throughout our entire liies.

WALKOUT ....

The Walkout is a tradition at Monmouth. Sponsored by the "Y", it helps the freshmen become acquainted both with members of their own class and the upperclassmen.

[18]

POLESCRAP ....

The annual Polescrap, between the freshman boys and sophomore men, occurs one day in the early fall. Bruises and mud bring back memories of the conflict.

[19]

HOMECOMING ....

The Suburban leads the Homecoming parade. Stunt Night, football games, return of the Clan, and the gay dance are all part of Homecoming.

[20]

CANDLELIGHT SERVICE ....

Another Monmouth tradition is the Christmas Candlehght Service. Singing carols of many lands, the choir gives us another memory of college life.

[21]

MESSIAH ....

Under the direction of Mr. Hayes, the annual presentation of the Messiah achieved a new high. A special attraction was presented by the performances of the four guest soloists.

[22]

THIS IS IT ... .

Unquestionably the most popular event of the year is Gracie's show. Guys and gals work together to put on a truly profes- sional production.

[23]

THE OCTOPUS CLUB

The Octopus, senior men's honorary society, was founded in the spring of 1927 by a group of seniors who saw the need of an organiza- tion to bind together in harmony the various groups on the campus, and to thus carry on, as a unit, the traditions and ambitions of Monmouth College.

Banned from the campus in 1942 by a college order that forbade all secret organizations, the Octopus was reorganized and readmitted to campus recognition this year.

The eight seniors who comprise the Octopus are selected late in the spring of their junior year by members of the preceding class. The selection is based upon campus activities and contributions to campus life. The identity of members of the Octopus, by tradition, is revealed in the Ravelings that is published just prior to their graduation.

A scholarship fund to aid deserving underclassmen has been estab- lished this year. The award, in the amount of ^150, will be announced annually at the time of Commencement. The fund is provided by active and alumni members, who presently number 175.

Members of the Octopus for the past year were : John Goggin, Frank Testa, Don Tezalc, Burrell Calhoun, Harold Poling, Don White- man, Don Johnson, and Tony Palese.

Professor Howard Jamieson is the faculty advisor for the group.

As usual, the Oracle was the favorite publication this year. Under the more than capable editorship of Ed Brown, the Oracle's popularity reached an all-time high. Ed and his staff did the proverbial sweating of blood to meet their deadlines, but the rush to Wallace Hall each Saturday testified to the fact that the finished product was worth their effort. Not many students noticed the change in size of the paper which added a column on each page. Did you?

When the school year begins, the Y.W.C.A. Cabinet is busy welcoming the freshmen in the form of teas, mixers, and song-fests. Its Big Sister plan helps a lot of new students over the rough spots. Nearly every girl on campus is a member of the Y, which helps to make it one of the most active organizations on campus.

Possibly some of their work was more important, but none so popular.

STllDEIT COURT

The five people pictured below have had the most thankless task in Monmouth College during the past year. Their job Vk'as to judge the students, deciding whether or not they were guilty of dishonesty during examinations. This is an integral part of our student government, and worthy of much praise, although the group received httle publicity.

[78]

STiiiiEiT mmi

Practical experience in democracy is given to the students by the processes of the Student Council, for college governmnt is in the capable hands of these people. Any broad change in the rules is usually suggested by the Council and then presented to the student body for acceptance or rejection. As in the past, this year it has tried to emphasize the importance of honesty on our campus.

The Monmouth College Band, under Mr. Loya, serves the college in a dual role. It is both a service and a concert band. The organization begins life in the fall, during the football season, when it serves as a marching band; it continues through the winter, during the basketball season, when it becomes a pep band; and in the spring its metamorphosis is completed as it emerges to give a series of six indoor and outdoor concerts.

[83]

ORCHESTRA

Under Mr. Loya, the Monmouth College Orchestra keeps alive symphonic music on the campus. The orchestra gives two concerts annually, provides the orchestral accompaniment for Handel's Messiah, given at Christmas, and also for the Spring Oratorio Mendelssohn's St. Paul, this year. The organization also provides an outlet for ensembles. Two string and one woodwind group is now practicing.

Fast-breaking Scots grab third in Midwest. The stands rattled as eager fans shouted and raved for additional scores. Knox was roundly trounced twice as the local "bucket brigade" went to work. M. C, The Ravehngs, and the sports staff proudly doff their caps to the team with the new scoring record.

Flashing spikes, torn tendons, split fingers, crack of the bats on a warm spring evening that's baseball. Monmouth had its baseball and Monmouth's baseball had it. In spite of the availability of potential big leaguers, our squad just didn't manage to squeeze out their share of victories last spring. But in spite of the ledger, the fans received all of the diamond excitement they could ask for, even at Yankee Stadium.

The flying feet of Monmouth pushed the Red and White into the national eye last year. Despite the above record our cinder eaters placed fourth in the Midwest Meet and eighth in the Beloit Relays. Paced by the record-holding relay team and several point-getters, it was a good season. At the end of May and well into June several of the boys entered varied national meets and placed highly in their fields. Big Jud Kreideneir raced to sixth place in the Milwaukee Olympic tryouts as he hurdled in behind Dillard, Scott, and Porter. We have our greats here as well as anywhere just look around.

One of Monmouth's more thankless positions is that which is held by Mr. Kenneth Craig, superintendent of the grounds. Few students realize how many things could go wrong if Mr. Craig weren't on the job. We of the Ravelings staff, in behalf of the entire student body, would like to express our appreciation for the fine work that Mr. Craig is doing.

[137]

We did become a bit carried away when we made out the scale for these!

[138]

Ghastly, aren't they?

[139]

Perhaps we should have scattered these throughout the book, so the shock wotddn't have been so great.

And so we write fini to another year and another Ravelings . . . Perhaps this isn't one of the better books published by the students of Monmouth College, but I have made a very sincere effort to present a panoramic version of Monmouth, 1949.

I want to thank each and every one of you for the help you have given me, and in particular I wish to express my appreciation for the fine work done by my sports editors. Bill Lynch and Buck Buchanan, and for the cooperation I have received from Dave Fleming, the advisor.

Like Thomas Edison, I now know ten thousand things not to do while publishing a yearbook, but learning has been fun. I hope you find as much pleasure in reading the Ravelings as I had putting it out.
