THE 1944 MC KENDREAN

McKendreans are proud of their Alma Mater
and her rich heritage. For more than one hun-
dred and sixteen years McKendree has stood
for the highest and best in education and char-
acter building, and, struggling as she is in this
third year of the U. S.'s participation in World
War I I to keep on the move, her stately old
buildings remind us that McKendree is strong
and durable — well able to stand even in the
face of almost unbearable hardships. Her
almost-a-century-old Chapel building, whose
spire majestically rises from among the branches
of age-old trees to find its apex towering above
even the greatest of God's own handiwork,
symbolizes McKendree's noble and lofty ideals.
McKendree is proud to be a child of the great
Methodist Church, which this year, through the
leadership of its episcopal officers, is crusading
for a just and lasting peace. It is our hope that
everything about McKendree may fall in line
with the ideals and teachings of "The Prince of
Peace". McKendree, in her own humble way,
is anxious to do her part to support the church
in its endeavors to carry out a program which
will help lead our country into lasting Christian
fellowship with all peoples.

. . .we dedicate the 1944 McKENDREAN. During his eight
years as president of McKendree College, Dr. Clark R. Yost
has given his all in the interest of the school. Especially since
Pearl Harbor our president has literally poured out his spiritual,
mental, and physical energies in steady streams so that the
program at McKendree might continue to be the best to be
found among schools of its standing. His contribution to
McKendree cannot be expressed in words. Theodore Roosevelt
gave McKendree the title, "The best in the Middle West."
We who have known Dr. Yost during the last few years, as
he has led McKendree and as he has constantly championed
the cause of Christian education, are ready to give him the
title, "The best leader of 'The best in the Middle West' ".

PHILO

Philo began the year with four members, the war
having almost decimated our numbers. One of these,
Hal Nothdurft, was soon taken. We did not deem it
advisable to meet during the first semester, although
we did elect officers. However, we did not cease to
function as an organization.

At the beginning of the second semester things
began looking up. We pledged eight new members,
several of whom made their marks in basketball.
I hough Phi lo members are busy with many other activi-
ties, we find time to meet every Monday at 12:30 p.m.

The Philo spirit moves on, even in wartime. Philo
influence will continue to be felt on McKendree
Campus.

PLATO

Plato began the year, its 95th, with only one mem-
ber left from the group of 1942-43. For a time it
looked as if the society had lost its place on the
Campus when twelve of its fourteen members were
graduated or entered the armed services, but last
fall nine pledges came into Plato, and the organiza-
tion carried on in its usual energetic way

This year Plato kept its reputation for athletics by
having four members on the basketball squad. The
manager of the team was also a Platonian.

Most of the society's members have one or two
years more of college to complete. For this reason
we feel sure that although the membership may be
small, Plato will keep on boosting McKendree.

CLIO

The only girls' literary society on this campus is
Clio, which helps the girls develop a well-balanced
personality and gives them experience in speaking
before others. Literary programs which are chosen by
the critics are given each Monday night. They consist
of declamations, impromptus, essays, assigned ad-
dresses, current events, parliamentary drill, and music.
These programs are varied and interesting and are
formed around a central theme.

Eleven new members were pledged into the society
this year.

Four open sessions were given during the year and
the prominent social event of Sadie Hawkins Day was
sponsored by the girls of Clio.

This organization receives the support and coopera-
tion of all Clionians. They enjoy the meetings very
much.

SIGMA BETA RHO

With the growing complexity of life for the indi-
vidual under present world wide conditions, there is
a profound need for a balanced life. Sigma Beta Rho
was instituted for this very purpose.

Slowly but surely we are realizing that the Mastei's
practice of quietly slipping aside for a worship period
with the Father gives us poise with a deeper under-
standing and a broader view of life's tasks.

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a work-
man that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing
the word of truth."— II Timothy: 2:15.

"Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier
of Jesus Christ."— II Timothy: 2:3.

SIGMA TAU DELTA

This is the eighth year of the Alpha lota chapter
of Sigma Tau Delta on the campus. This organization
is a national honorary English fraternity for the pur-
pose of learning to appreciate literature and of creat-
ing the desire to write. The meetings are held at the
home of Dr. West and consist of creative writing and
reviews on current books of popular interest.

Three new members were received into the society
this year.

SIGMA ZETA

The Sigma Zeta honorary society is a national or-
ganization whose purpose is to encourage scientific
study and to recognize students of high scholarship in
natural sciences and mathematics. The Beta Chapter
at McKendree College was organized in 1926.

During this school year Prof. H. C. Gutekunst, head
of the department of chemistry, and Mr. Thomas T.
Gordon, a senior majoring in Mathematics, have been
initiated. These, with Dean Stowell, have constituted
the active chapter this year.

Although with depleted ranks, the society plans to
carry on and to be prepared for useful work both
now and when the peace comes.

YMCA CABINET

YMCA

The YMCA, in spite of having a limited member-
ship, -functioned as usual this year. Four delegates
were sent to the YM-YWCA Conference held at
Shurtleff College in November.

During the year, the YMCA met on Wednesday
evenings. Many of the programs consisted of com-
bined sessions with the YWCA. Student ministers were
the speakers at most of the joint meetings. Harold
Kuebler, assistant regional secretary of the YMCA,
spoke at one of the combined sessions in February.

The Y's officers for the year: president, Don Har-
mon (I), Gehl Devore (2); vice-president, Gehl De-
vore (I), William Stallings (2); program chairman,
Larry Jones; social chairman, William Searles; chap-
lain, Mode Powell; secretary-treasurer, Peter Notaras;
pianist, Robert Stadge.

YWCA

This year the association continued to fulfill its re-
quirements to become a participating "Y" in the
national organization. Several of the officers attended
a conference in November at Shurtleff College, Alton.
They sent a representative to the Lake Geneva Con-
ference in June.

The Y.W. held some of its weekly meetings with
the Y.M. in Clio Hall, with the student ministers pro-
viding the programs. The Y.W. also cooperated with
the Y.M. in planning social activities for the campus.

The officers for the year: president, Joyce Ann Kean;
vice-president, Maxine Ball; program chairman, Mar-
garet Harshbarger; secretary-treasurer, Gloria Steph-
ens; social chairman, Ruth Koerber; pianist, Vergene
Jones; sponsor, Mrs. C. J. Stowell; chaplain, Edna

CHORUS

The chorus aims to give pleasure and relaxation to
its members. It gives experience in group singing and
stimulates interest in music.

This year our group of singing voices filled its usual
appointments at churches and provided special music
for many of our chapel services. Besides the formal
functions of the- chorus one of the outstanding events
in this year was the Hallowe'en Party sponsored by
the chorus.

The chorus, under the direction of Miss Eula R.
Smith, elected Vergene Jones, president; Shirley Berg-
man, vice-president; Edna Kampmeyer, secretary; Larry
Jones, treasurer; Flonda Jones, social chairman, and
Wyvona Luman, pianist.

TRIO

The women's trio is chosen from members of the
chorus. The trio sang at Salem, O'Fallon and in our
local Methodist Church. They also furnished special
music at the college on various occasions. The mem-
bers are Vergene Jones, first soprano; Shirley Bergman,
second soprano; and Virginia Phillips, alto.

The members of the trio are also soloists, and all
have made several public appearances this year. As
we think of their singing we are reminded of the
words of Ben Johnson:

"The voice so sweet, the words so fair,

As some soft chime had stroked the air;

And though the sound were parted thence,

Still left an echo in the sense."

STUDENT-FACULTY COUNCIL

STUDENT-FACULTY COUNCIL

Democratic living is the principle set forth by this
council. Representatives -from the faculty, the two
dormitories, student body, the commuters, and the
Lebanonites meet once a month to discuss and solve
problems to further Christian democracy upon our
campus.

This year the council decided that a Homecoming
would be unpatriotic because of the war emergency
program. However, a day was set aside on which a
committee meeting was called and a basketball game
and a play were the afternoon and night features.
The council approved of the change in the Christmas
vacation and an extra day was added.

By promoting democracy upon our campus we hope

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT SOCIETY

The purpose of this new organization is to promote
an international understanding and good will among
the- students of many allied countries. Progress is very
promising.

The membership is large, considering the number of
foreign language students and the new organization.

During our meetings we have helped beginning
language students to write letters in Spanish or French.
The names of the interesting pen-pals were sent on
request. It is exciting to read of the lives of young
people in allied countries. The development of the
interest of our allies toward us is gratifying.

Mrs. Gutekunst is the interested sponsor and or-
ganizer.

REVIEW STAFF

The McKendree Review is in its twenty-third year of
service to the college. The Review is published every
two weeks of the school year except during vacations.

This year the Review is being sent to all former
McKendreans who are now in the armed services.

The staff is composed of the members of the jour-
nalism classes. The editorial positions are held by
those who have completed the elementary journalism
courses. Any who are interested in journalism may
serve as reporters.

The same staff published The McKendrean. Addi-
tional activities during the year included: two fall
leaf rakings and High School Day.

Gehl Devore, editor of THE McKENDREAN, was not
a member of THE REVIEW staff.

Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges is a stan-
dard directory and index of information containing biographies of distinguished
students throughout America. Selection of students to be recognized in Who's Who
is made devoid of politics, initiation fees, and dues. On this page are listed the
McKendreans, four seniors and two juniors, who will be listed in the 1943-44 edition
of Who's Who.

DONALD HARMON

(Senior)

Don's leadership and cheerful smile helped to win
many friends. His sportsmanship was shown in the
basketball games in which he participated. He has a
bubbling sense of humor and we shall always remem-
ber his Iteen wit.

THOMAS GORDON

(Junior)

His quiet personality and ever-ready smile pro-
claimed him the honor of leadership in his classes.
His amazing ability in chemistry and mathematics has
proved that he is a true student.

MARGARET HARSHBARGER

(Senior)

"Harshie" has a keen sense of humor, which every-
one admires. Her leadership and persistence were
shown through her successful participation of church
organizations and campus activities. Her laughter has
resounded over the Old Hill for four happy years.

JOYCE ANN KEAN

(Junior)

"Jake" has a pleasant voice and lovely manners.
Her high scholastic standing has proved that she is
a competent leader in the many offices she has filled.

GEHL DEVORE

(Senior)

Gehl's scholastic ability stands out on the Old Hill.
He was always willing to lend a helping hand when
it was needed.

VERGENE JENKINS JONES

(Senior)

Vergene's musical talents have been appreciated by
McKendree students and outsiders. From a "Voice of
Experience", she can relate interesting facts concern-
ing the life of an army wife. We respect her for
coming back to school to graduate.

With the war taking most of the men away from
the campus this year, McKendree was fortunate enough
to have a basketball squad. All of the players were
new on the team; nevertheless a good fighting spirit
was prevalent throughout the season. The squad was
handicapped by most of the team living off the cam-
pus. At the end of the first semester McK lost their
captain, Don Harmon, and another important player,
John McKnelly. Edward Wright came the second
semester and played some good ball as forward and
guard.

The team won four out of seven games which is
very good considering the inexperience and the diffi-
culty in training. Most of the players will be back
on the campus again next year and the Purple and
Whites should once again see a good season.

BASKETBALL LETTERMEN

Viehe Jackson, Freshman
Nashville — Guard

As a first letter man Jackson played
good offensive ball. His long shots
helped the Bearcats in many a tight
pinch. Jackson was always there to
receive the ball and could be counted
upon to bring the ball across the line.
He still has three more years to prove
his worth with the Bearcats.

Captain Gehl Devore, Senior

Altamont — Forward

Starting late in the season, Gehl was
able to maintain his fighting spirit and
to encourage the fellows to four trium-
phant games. His ability for long shots
made him the leading scorer of the
season. Gehl was the pushing force be-
hind the whole team. Gehl's leadership
and good sportsmanship will be remem-
bered by every member of the team.

Arthur Kleinschmidt, Sophomore
Lebanon — Center

"Art's" height, along with his ability,
made him an essential part of every
game. "Art" showed a willing and
conscientious spirit at all times. He
was always under the basket for the
rebounds and added many points to
McKendree's score. He should be the
nucleus around which the team will be
built next year.

Victor Donaldson, Freshman

Shobonier — Forward

"Vic" always played a cool, steady
game and made his share of points for
McKendree. He did exceptionally well
in the victory over Greenville. Donald-
son will be an asset to the team next
year.

Ira Thetford, Sophomore

Froeburg — Guard

"Tiny" could always be depended
upon to handle the ball well. He was
even tempered and played a good,
clean game. Thetford will be a great
help in building a future team. No
matter what the score was Thetford
always kept his fighting spirit.

Larry Jones, Senior

Fredericktown, Mo. — Guard

Larry was always alert and fighting
and he played to win. He was consis-
tent in his play, both on offense and
defense. This is Larry's last basketball
season and McKendree can be proud of
his addition to the team.

In the school year 1943-44 this department
presented two outstanding performances. A
program of December, 1943 consisted of "A
Model Parade", "An Indian Tranquil," and a
"Military Flag Drill."

The May Pole Revels of 1944 was under the
direction of the P. E. Class. A most difficult
and beautiful performance was given.

Members of the class presented several
ideas for the; May Pole Festivity.

Class periods were composed of physical
exercises to stimulate gracefulness; to correct
posture; to develop proper walking habits, and
to bring into use muscles which are often neg-
lected and undeveloped.

The women of the class developed creative
ability by presenting suggestions and ideas
pertaining to rhythmical patterns; descriptive
stunting; and developed coordination in group
performance.

DRUMS OF DEATH

Drums of Death, a three-act mystery
comedy, takes place en a desolate stretch of
the Atlantic Coast.

The plot revolves about the lost magic stone
of an African tribe. Thompson and his band
of negro cut-throats try to take the stone
away from the Bailey mansion, where it is
hidden. Bailey has his henchmen, too. Thus,
a war rages. Ghosts, monsters, and hooded
figures run on the rampage as the plot unfolds.

CRAZY HOUSE

The College Players presented "Crazy
House", a farce-comedy, describing the "Bel-
dinkers", personalities. The cast were enthus-
iastic and very cooperative. Each played his
part to perfection.

This play was the students' contribution for
May Day and also to touch in some way McK's
"funny bone" in these times.

Remember, "laugh and the world laughss
with you."

PECULIAR TRENDS

THE CLASS OF '44

The history of the Class of 1944 follows a peculiar trend. When we graduat-
ing seniors assembled to write the history of our class, we found that only two of
those who will be presented with sheep-skins on graduation day were among those
who matriculated at McKendree in 1940 and will finish in May. They are Margaret
Harshbarger and Gehl Devore. The others graduating either started before Septem-
ber, 1940 or, by attending summer school, finished their courses last September.
The two who matriculated in 1940 and completed their work last fall are Beatrice
Attey and Calvin Ryan.

The other members of our graduating class began their college careers and
finished at various times, as follows: Don Harmon and James Owens entered
McKendree in 1939 and completed their work at the end of the first semester of
this school year. George Kennedy came to McKendree from Millikin as a sopho-
more in 1941 and graduated at the end of the 1943 term. Malcolm Myres came
to McKendree from Blackburn as a junior in January 1942 and completed his work
last summer. Jesse Seiber came to McKendree as a second semester freshman,
transferring credits from Trinity Gospel Bible School at Evansville, Indiana, in 1941.
Cyril Curtis matriculated in 1939 and finished last summer.

Edna Kraemer receives her degree with this graduating class. In 1941 Maxine
Ball came from Blackburn as a second semester freshman and finishes in May.
Alvin Whittemore began pre-college work at McKendree in 1940 and graduates
in May. Robert Herman enrolled at McKendree in 1938 and is listed among the
graduating seniors. Vergene Jenkins Jones, who received the Public School Music
Diploma from McKendree in 1938, returned to the campus last summer and will
finish her A.B. degree with this class.

Let us now reminisce. The fifty-eight freshmen of 1940, under the able leader-
ship of President Boyd "Tex" Anderson, made history by gaining possession of the
chapel bell, after enjoying an undisturbed freshman picnic. Vice-president Bob
Matthews, Secretary Alberta Young, and Treasurer Bonnie Bell ably assisted "Tex"
in the aforementioned incident and in carrying on the other activities of the class.

The thirty members of the sophomore class of 1941, with the efficient leader-
ship of Gehl Devore, aided by Vice-president Margaret Saxe, Secretary Bob
Matthews, Treasurer Robert Dannenbrink, and Sergeant of Arms Boyd Anderson,
were active in various school activities. Several members of the class took part
in that famous hair cutting initiation incident, which will not soon be forgotten
by the '41 freshmen.

The fifteen juniors, with George Kennedy as President, Margaret Harshbarger,
Vice-president, Maxine Ball, Secretary, Art Hinson, Treasurer, Robert Dannenbrink,
Sergeant of Arms, were campus leaders and were instrumental in helping to promote
extra curricular activities.

The fifteen seniors, only eight of whom have been on the campus this school
year, headed by Gehl Devore, with Vice-president James Owens, Secretary Vergene
Jones, Treasurer Maxine Ball, Sergeant of Arms Margaret Harshbarger and Don
Harmon, have made up in quality what they have lacked in quantity. Members of
the class have been leaders of various organizations and groups, including the
three literary societies, student body, glee club, "Y's", dramatic societies, and
athletics.

The changing constituency of the class may be attributed largely to the
numerous abnormalities brought about by World War II. We have not exactly
"set the world on fire", but many of the ambitious freshmen who came to the
"Old Hill" in 1940 are helping to extinguish the fires of hatred and greed, which
are both causes and results of war.

PECULIAR TRENDS

THE CLASS OF '45

Although the class of '45 was greatly diminished in number from the previous
year, it was not diminished in the force it had upon McKendree, both socially and
academically.

When we started our learning on the "Old Hill" there were fifty boys and girls,
but soon after we arrived here the war turned us into mature ladies and gentlemen.
The men began to leave one by one to enter the armed forces and the girls to
become teachers and war workers.

Although our freshie year was marked by green caps, a successful picnic, and
a now famous bell ringing, we have remained gay, but not as lighthearted. We
think of our class members from New Guinea to England, and then we turn to
study our accelerated program, so we can soon work and fight to make democ-
racy live.

Perhaps there will be only a few of us walk the Centennial Path in caps and
gowns to receive our degrees, but all of us, regardless of where we strayed
by the wayside, will remember the life on the "Old Hill", and know that perhaps
we did something for the proud name of McKendree, which we will always revere
and honor!

THE CLASS OF '46

A year ago you saw us, thirty-six new faces in the yearbook. In the fall we
came, happy and carefree, hoping to find an honored place in the ranks of loyal
McKendreans. The upper classmen and friends of the college gave us the heartiest
welcome ever, and soon we felt at home.

It was not long until we began to understand that ours was a position to be
envied. Determined to uphold our college for four busy years before becoming
active alumni, we accepted the McKendree traditions as our own. We became a
happy crowd and our associations here during two short years have not diminished
that feeling.

How well we remember those nights when, footsore and weary, our boys spent
long hours on the open road with only the stars for company. The none-the-less-
stronger sex of our class suffered similar humiliation when roped together and forced
to wear costumes befitting a family reunion of witches, then marched about in
the streets of Lebanon. According to some, Lake Beautiful is not any too suitable
for a bathing place. We added all this social orientation to college life to our list
of memories and pressed on toward upper class standings.

This spring finds more than half of our boys supporting in another way — by
supporting our nation. While we wait for the day when our pals, friends, and
sweethearts will come back, we, the class of '46, claim a double share of that famed
spirit of 76 in carrying on and in lifting our alma mater to greater fame than
ever before.

". . . . May we ever hold thee true and wise and right
Honor purple and the white
And for victory we'll always fight
Till we win for old McK.

THE CLASS OF '47

When we, the class of '47, enrolled as the freshmen of McKendree last Septem-
ber, we were just as green and scared as the average college freshman. Before
many days had passed, however, we had learned our way around the camous and
had begun to feel a part of the college.

Eager to do our part in upholding McKendree's traditions, we elected Mode
Powell as our leader. Harold Garrett as vice-president, Dorothy Faulkner as secre-
tary, and "Beckie" Giles as treasurer, ably assisted our president in all the
undertakings. We held the annual freshman picnic and endured the moonlight
hikes and. dips in Lake Beautiful that accompanied initiation week. We proved our
ability and talent by giving an all-freshman program in the chapel.

At the close of our first year at McKendree, we are proud to have lived that
year. We have accepted as our own the high ideals and standards of the college
that has been serving its country so faithfully for over one hundred years. Now we
are looking forward to our next three years in the college on the "Old Hill".
