In  the  McKENDREAN- 
Yearbook  published  by  the 
students  of  McKendree 
College  at  Lebanon,  Illinois. 
Volume  VIII,  New  Series. 


HER  LIFE  and  HIS 


LIFE 


are    corvee, 


tlu   portrayed 


this  account  of  "McKendree  day  by  day"  will  have  ac- 
complished its  purpose.  As  you  leaf  from  page  to  page 
you  may  determine  our  class  standing  and  who  made 
up  the  basketball,  football,  and  track  squads.  We  would 
be  disappointed  if  you  did  not  notice  the  honorary  so- 
ciety which  has  pledged  us  this  year.  Stop  just  for  a 
moment  and  take  cognizance  of  our  literary  and  dra- 
matic achievements.  Did  you  know  that  we  have  taken 
a  forward  step  in  the  form  of  a  Faculty-Student  Coun- 
cil? If  you  peruse  this  hook  carefully,  you  will  see  all 
these  things — and  more.  We  hope  that  each  page  will 
serve  as  a  piece  of  the  entire  pattern  of  our  campus  life.

Vo  iL  FACULT 


"1  am  not  a  teacher;  only  a  fellow-trav- 
eller of  whom  yen  asked  the  way.  1 
fainted  ahead — ahead  of  myself  as  well 
as  of  you." 

— Bernard  Shaw. 


COLLEGE  wL 


have  been  the  greatest  influence  for  good  which 
has  entered  their  lives  during  their  entire  college 
career,  the  McKendree  Boy  and  Girl,  today,  pay 
tribute. 

Is  it  the  teacher  of  Science?  It  is.  Do  we  list 
the  teacher  of  Languages?  History?  Dramatics? 
We  do.  Are  the  Coaches,  the  Librarian,  the  Ex- 
ecutives there?  Again  we  answer:  "They  are." 
If  we  are  well-integrated  individuals,  we  can 
point  to  this  splendid  group  of  men  and  women, 
each  of  whom  has  contributed  his  part,  and  to 
them  this  book  is  dedicated  in  the  hope  that 
thereby  a  small  part  of  our  appreciation  may  be 
expressed.

CLARK  ROIXAND  YOST,  A.B,  D.D 
President 


For  four  of  the  best  years  of  our  lives  we  have  been  glad  to  submit  to  the 
kindly,  friendly  guidance  of  the  President,  the  Dean,  and  the  Teacher  who  is  a 
specialist  in  our  particular  field.  No  day  too  tilled  with  oilier  duties,  hut  that  they 
found  lime  for  our  problems.  No  problems  so  big  hut  that  they  wen-  willing  to 
help  us  solve  them.  They,  ever  willing  and  able,  found  the  extremity  of  US— The 
Boy  and  Girl — their  opportunity.

"We  require  from  buildings,  as  from  men,  two  kinds 
of  (loudness:  first,  the  doing  their  practical  duty  well, 
then  that  they  be  graceful  and  pleasing  in  doing  it, 
which  last  is  itself  another  form  of  duty."

Alpha  Psi  officially  began  its  year  with  a  tea  in 
the  home  of  Betty  Mae  Phillips,  to  which  prospec- 
tive members  were  invited.  An  enjoyable  feature 
of  tine  afternoon  was  the  informal  sing  after  the  tea. 

<  >ur  purpose  is  to  foster  dramatics  on  our  own 
campus  as  well  as  to  develop  an  interest  in  drama 
in  general. 

We  have  attempted  this  year  to  acquaint  ourselves 
with  the  best  plays  and  with  the  most  important 
stage  personalities. 

(  >ur  trip  to  the  American  to  see  Paul  Muni  in 
"Key  Largo"  and  the  dinner  following  represented 
perhaps  the  highlight  in  our  year  of  memories.

Our  organization  is  an  honorary  fraternity  for 
the  recognition  of  scholarship  in  science  and  mathe- 
matics. This  vear  we  sponsored  a  series  of  pro- 
grams presented  by  the  Waggoner  Science  Society. 
We  also  sponsor  Waggoner  Memorial  activities  and 
an  annual  award  to  a  student  of  outstanding  science 
scholarship. 

This  year  our  big  project  is  the  arranging  and  classi- 
fication of  rocks  and  minerals  left  us  by  Professor 
Wag-goner.

Sigma  Tau  Delta 


Sigma  Tau  is  an  English  writing  fraternity  and 
the  words  Sigma  Tau  Delta  are  the  initial  letters  of 
the   Creek   words  symbolizing  sincerity,  truth,   and 

design. 

(  )ur  purpose  is  die  study  of  literary  masterpieces, 
the  encouragement  of  worthwhile  reading,  the  pro- 
motion of  expression,  as  well  as  the  fostering  of  a 
spirit  of  fellowship  among  students  of  English  and 
literature. 

We  meet  every  two  weeks  to  evaluate  current  lit- 
erature of  all  kinds  in  order  that  we  may  gain  ex- 
perience in  creative  writing.  We  also  submit  ap- 
propriate material  for  the  Rectangle,  the  official 
publication  of  our  organization.

Sigma  Beta  Rho  is  an  organization  composed  of 
ministerial  students  who  meet  every  week  for  song, 
prayer,  and  inspirational  talks. 

This  year  we  boast  the  addition  of  the  first 
women  ever  to  lie  admitted  to  our  circle. 

The  activities  of  one  of  the  two  weeks  of  special 
religious  emphasis  as  well  as  the  special  threediour 
service  on  Good  Friday,  in  our  local  church,  was 
sponsored  by  our  organization. 

Gospel  teams  from  our  group  have  appeared  in 
various  Southern  Illinois  churches,  not  only  to 
"bring  McKendree"  to  the  people  but  to  share  some- 
thing of  our  Christian  experience  with  them.

Philosophian  Literary  Society 


(  >ur  men's  literary  society  has  been  growing  dur- 
ing this,  its  one  hundred  and  third  year.  Weekly 
meetings  are  held  and  open  sessions,  open  to  any- 
one, are  held  once  a  month,  with  refreshments. 

An  especially  interesting  feature  of  one  of  our 
regular  programs  was  Dr.  Walton's  history  of  Philo. 
We  are  redecorating  Philo  hall  this  year. 

The  usual  Philo  program  is  composed  of  devo- 
tions, an  essay,  a  declamation,  an  assigned  address, 
an  impromptu,  current  events,  music,  and  a  debate. 
(  >ur  purpose  is  to  encourage  literary  achievement 
and  debate. 


New  officers  are  elected  ev- 
ery six  weeks.  President; 
for  the  year  were :

Clio  is  our  women's  literary  society  wherein  we 
strive  to  gain  more  self-confidence  in  public  speak- 
ing and  to  help  uphold  the  literary  and  musical 
standards  of  the  college. 

(  )ur  programs  are  made  up  of  a  song  by  the  so- 
ciety, scripture  and  prayer,  roll  call,  a  declamation, 
an  assigned  address,  an  impromptu,  an  essay,  cur- 
rent events,  parliamentary  drill,  and  music.  We 
have  open  sessions  once  a  month  to  which  everyone 
is  invited. 

The  reunion  of  our  society  on  Homecoming  Day 
was  a  great  success.  Several  former  Clio  members 
gave  the  program. 

The  Clio-Philo  banquet  in  April  constitutes  one 
of  the  fondest  memories  of  Clio.  It  was  unani- 
mously decided  to  make  a  banquet  of  the  two  soci- 
eties an  annual  event.

The  girls'  "Y"  this  year  has  been  very  active.  We 
invite  all  college  girls  to  join  us. 

The  cabinet  had  as  much  fun  planning  the  meet- 
ings as  the  other  girls  did  in  attending  them  every 
Wednesday  night.  Especially  welcome  was  the  din- 
ner and  cabinet  meeting  with  Mrs.  Stowell.  Our 
advisers,  Mrs.  Stowell  and  Mrs.  Scarborough,  have 
been  the  source  of  much  inspiration  this  year. 

(  >ur  meetings  included  discussions  as  well  as  ad- 
dresses. Among  the  highlights  of  the  year  were  a 
visit  to  the  home  of  Mrs.  Virgil  Church,  where  we 
were  inducted  into  the  mysteries  of  "antiquing"  ;  Dr. 
Wright's  Mexican  travelogue;  Professor  Hardy's 
talk  on  Art,  which  prefaced  the  art  exhibit  held  in 
Benson  Wood  Library;  and  Professor  Scarbor- 
ough's ever-inspiring  messages.  We  had  song  fests 
and  favorite  poems  and  just  before  Easter  several 
members  led  discussions  in  which  we  talked  over 
problems  both  spiritual  and  social.  These  discus- 
sions led  to  a  better  understanding  among  us. 

We  began  our  year  as  usual  with  the  "Big  and 
Little  Sister"  idea.  Heart  Sister  Week  was  observed 
in  February.

every  Wednesday  night.  Combined  Y.W.C.A.  and 
Y.M.C.A.  programs  are  held  each  month. 

The  Y.  M.  programs  this  year  have  been  planned 
by  special  committees  and  we  feel  that  this  method 
ot  arranging  our  meetings  has  proved  very  success- 
ful. 

Among  the  most  interesting  of  our  meetings 
might  be  mentioned  the  ones  in  which  Prof.  Hardy 
talked  on  "The  Possibility  of  the  United  States  En- 
tering Another  War"  and  "Enjoyment  of  Music  and 
Poetry";  "Science  and  Religion"  by  Prof.  Herten-

Nature  Club 


The  aim  of  the  Nature  Club  is  to  acquaint  its 
members  with  a  few  interesting  common  forms  of 
Nature,  for — 

"To  him  who  in  the  lore  of  Nature 
Holds  communion  with  her  visible  forms, 
She  speaks  a  various  language." 

Through  our  programs  and  field  trips  we  come  to 
know  a  few  birds,  a  few  trees  and  shrubs,  a  few 
heavenly  bodies,  and  to  acquire  knowledge  relating 
to  other  phases   of   nature. 

We  plant  trees  and  shrubs  on  the  campus.  This 
year  we  contributed  two  pin  oaks.  We  also  did 
some  work  on  Lake  Beautiful,

The  Radio  Club  is  one  of  our  newer  organiza-

club  tries  to  promote  fellowship  and  individual  effi- 
ciency as  well  as  an  interest  in  radio  at  McKendree. 

We  offer  an  opportunity  to  obtain  enough  radio 
knowledge  so  that  an  individual  may  become  a  li- 
censed operator.  In  our  weekly  meetings  we  pre- 
sent talks  on  radio  and  general  electricity. 

We  have  added  a  fifty-watt  phone  transmitter  and 
a  new  Sky-Buddy  four-band  receiver  to  our  equip- 
ment so  that  we  may  contact  amateur  stations  in 
neighboring  cities.

Football  Squad 


Willi  eight  returning  lettermen,  the  1939  season  saw  a  decidedly  improved 
McKendree  grid  squad  over  that  of  the  previous  year. 

A  heart-breaking  start  was  made  by  losing  to  Shurtleff  in  the  last  few  minutes 
of  play.  This  discouraging  defeat  at  the  hands  of  McKendree's  traditional  rival 
may.  in  part,  account  for  the  dropping  of  the  next  two  games.  After  these  three 
losses,  however,  the  Bearcats  snapped  out  of  their  complex  to  hand  the  plucky 
Eureka  gridders  a  decisive  defeat. 

By  far  the  most  satisfying  game  of  the  season  was  the  Homecoming  game 
against  Chillicothe  Business  College.  Spurred  on  by  the  spirit  of  the  day  and  the 
victory  of  the  week  before,  the  Purple  and  While  let  loose  a  brilliant  aerial  attack 
which  netted  them  two  touchdowns  in  the  first  half.  Although  failing  to  score  in 
the  second  period,  McKendree  held  the  Missouri  eleven  to  two  touchdowns.  At 
the  end.  McKendree  was  on  top — 14  to  12. 

Injuries  suffered  by  a  number  of  the  men  in  the  Homecoming  game,  and  the 
withdrawal  of  George  Handlon  from  school,  greatly  weakened  the  Bearcats  For 
their  meeting  with  Illinois  College.  The  "Cats"  emerged  badly  bruised  from  this 
game;  but  they  closed  the  season  successfully,  the  following  week,  with  a  2?  to  12 
victor\-  over  Moberly  College. 

Although  the  number  of  games  won  was  not  favorable  to  McKendree,  no 
game  was  lust  by  an  overwhelming  margin. 

Captain  John  "Ace"  Harmon.  Milton  Sager.  and  Kelly  Simmons  will  leave  us 
via  the  sheepskin  route.  The  going  of  these  three  veterans  will  be  keenly  fell; 
but  with  the  return  of  some  eleven  lettermen  and  the  addition  of  several  new  men. 
the  1940  team  can  be  expected  to  be  one  of  the  best  that  McKendree  lias  produced 
in  recent  years.

Football  Queen 

Out  of  twelve  candidates.  Miss  Gloria  Baer  was 
elected  1939  Football  Queen  in  the  voting  contest  held 
previous  to  Homecoming  Day. 

Gloria,  who  is  a  student  in  the  Fine  Arts  Depart- 
ment, majoring  in  piano,  and  a  sophomore,  was  chosen 
as  the  fourth  succeeding  Homecoming  Queen. 

At  the  annual  Homecoming  game,  Dr.  C.  R.  Yost 
presented  Miss  Baer  with  a  bouquet  on  behalf  of  the 
student  body,  after  which  she  was  formally  declared 
queen  by  Miss  P>ertie  Bauer,  retiring  queen. 


GLORIA  BAER 


Football  Days 


About  that  time  in  autumn 
When  leaves  begin  to  fall, 
Some  men  upon  the  campus 
Are  searching  for  the  ball. 

After  days  of  gruelling  practice, 
And  weeks  of  strenuous  drill, 
The  coach  picks  out  the  "huskies' 
Whom  he  thinks  will  till  the  bill. 


Between  the  twilight  practices 
And  educational  toil. 
The  more  ambitious  players 
Will  be  burning  midnight  oil. 

Then  through  the  days  of  injuries 
And  scholastic  lack  of  sense, 
The  puzzled  coach  has  to  admit 
They  have  him  on  the  fence. 


About  the  time  the  choice  is  made, 
And  all  is  well  in  line, 
The  Profs  will  say,  "Let's  study  hard, 
It's  mid-semester  time." 


With  all  the  trials  there  seems  to  be 
A  fair  star  in  our  heaven, 
For  we  ended  up  the  season's  scores 
With  three  games  out  of  seven.

Coach  Herbert  Gould,  in  his  second  year  as  McKen- 
dree  football  coach,  lias  developed  a  decided  improve- 
ment in  the  football  standing.  His  plays  and  football 
technique  is  comparable  to  that  of  the  coaches  of  much 
larger  schools.  With  the  proper  support  and  backing 
of  McKendreans,  Coach  Gould  should  he  able  to  pro- 
duce a  winning  team  next  year. 


CAPTAIN  JOHN  HARMON,  Senior 

Lebanon.  Center;  Three  Year  Letterman. 
"Ace"  will  be  remembered  as  the  hard-working,  quiet 
captain  of  the  m39  McKendree  football  squad.  Though 
seldom  heard,  he  made  his  presence  on  the  field  felt  by 
his  hard  tackling  and  his  continual  drive  while  in  the 
game.  "Ace"  was  listed  as  a  center  with  the  team,  but 
he  seldom  snapped  a  ball,  his  best  work  being  done  in 
the  tackle  position.  He  played  his  best  game  against 
the  Burlington  College  team,  gaining  more  tackles 
than  any  other  player.  Next  year's  Bearcats  will  sorely 
miss  this  strong,  silent  tackle. 

DEAN   KIRKPATRICK,   Freshman 

Sesser.  End;  First  Year  Letterman. 
"Barney"  rendered  a  great  service  to  the  1939  Mc- 
Kendree grid  squad  by  his  consistent  "booting"  of  the 
extra  point.  He  was  also  a  valuable  man  for  receiv- 
ing passes.  His  services  should  be  of  great  value  in 
forming  next  year's  team. 

WAYNE  TIMMONS,  Freshman 

Granite  City.  Guard ;  First  Year  Letterman. 
Wayne  began  the  season  as  a  substitute  left  guard, 
playing  in  practically  every  game  in  the  early  part  of 
the  season.  With  the  loss  of  George  Handlon  as  regu- 
lar guard,  Wayne  stepped  in  and  took  over  the  regu- 
lar position. 


RAYMOND  FARY,  Sophomore 

Seabright,   New  Jersey. 

Tackle ;  Two  Year  Letterman. 
"Ray"  came  back  and  this  year  proved  himself  one  of 
the  hardest  tacklers  on  the  squad.  His  abiliiy  to  cen- 
ter the  ball  on  offense,  and  to  back  up  the  line  of 
defense,  made  him  an  important  link  in  the  McKendree 
chain.  Because  of  a  leg  and  shoulder  injury  he  was 
compelled  to  miss  two  of  the  season's  games. 

HERBERT   SIMONS,  Sophomore 

Edwardsville.  End;  Two  Year  Letterman. 
"Herb"  earned  his  first  letter  last  year  at  the  end  posi- 
tion. This  year  he  held  the  same  position.  While  he 
did  not  play  any  outstanding  games  he  was  fighting 
every  minute  he  was  in.  With  his  two  years  of  var- 
sity experience  "Herb"  will  be  a  great  asset  to  the 
1940  team. 

HARRY  GROTHJAHN,  Sophomore 

Granite  City.  Halfback;  First  Year  Letterman. 
Starting  out  his  freshman  year  as  a  substitute  back- 
field-man  "Tige"  returned  this  year  to  take  over  a  reg- 
ular position  and  win  his  letter.  A  hard-playing, 
dependable  back,  he  would  be  an  asset  to  any  college 
team.     "Tige's"   ball-handling   was  above   average. 


MARVIN   CORZINE,   Freshman 

Centralia.  Halfback;  First  Year  Letterman. 
Fresh  from  four  years  of  high  school  competition, 
"Cuz"  won  his  place  on  the  Bearcat  eleven  by  his 
broken  field  running  and  ability  to  evade  the  opponent. 
Flis  dazzling  display  of  speed  and  shiftiness  contrib- 
uted a  great  deal  to  the  McKendree  scoring.  He  was 
forced  to  miss  several  of  the  games  because  of  a  head 
injury  suffered  in  the  Homecoming  game. 

HARRY  WARD,  Sophomore 

Granite  City.  End;  Two  Year  Letterman. 
"Roz,"  a  halfback  on  last  }'ear's  squad,  was  put  on  the 
line  this  year  because  of  his  speed  and  ability  to  catch 
passes.  With  two  years  to  go  he  is  expected  to  add 
considerably  to  the  strength  of  the  1940  team.  Besides 
being  an  outstanding  player,  "Roz"  has  done  a  lot  to 
build  up  the  morale  of  the  team  through  his  sense  of 
humor. 

GEORGE  EDWARDS,  Sophomore 

East  St.  Louis.  Quarterback  ;  Two  Year  Letterman. 
An  outstanding  blocker  and  backfield  man  was  the  dis- 
tinction given  to  "Buddy"  in  his  second  year  as  a  Mc- 
Kendree gridder.  His  kicking  made  him  a  valuable 
man  to  the  McKendree  team,  and  the  nineteen-forty 
grid  season  will  undoubtedly  sec  him  in  his  same  back 
row    position. 

BARTLEY  GREENWOOD,  Junior 

West  Frankfort.     End  ;  Three  Year  Letterman. 
To   complete  a   good   passing  attack,   it   is  necessary  to 
have  a  good  receiver  as  well  as  passer.     Bart's  ability 
to  snag  passes  and  get  down   the  field   fast  under  the 
punts  made  him  one  of  the  best  ends  of  the  1939  team. 

EARL  BRAEUTIGAM,  Freshman 

Mascoutah.  Fullback;  First  Year  Letterman. 
One  of  the  biggest  men  on  the  team,  Earl  used  his 
height  and  weight  to  advantage  when  blocking  fur  the 
McKendree  team.  When  a  few  extra  yards  were 
needed  to  gain  a  first  down,  Earl  could  be  depended 
upon  to  carry  the  ball   over. 

Page  Forty-seven 


DONALD  HARTMAN,  Freshman 

O'Fallon.  Fullback;  First  Year  Letterman. 
Starting  out  on  the  line,  Don  was  shifted  into  the  back- 
field  where  he  spent  the  remainder  of  the  season.  His 
weight,  combined  with  his  hard  blocking  and  tackling, 
made  a  lasting  impression  on  the  McKendree  oppon- 
ents. With  three  years  remaining  of  his  college  grid 
career,  Don  will  lie  a  great  asset  to  future  McKendree 
teams. 

ALBERT  JOHNPETER,  Sophomore 

Posey.  Guard;  First  Year  Letterman. 
"Al,"  having  spent  his  first  year  as  a  substitute  Bear- 
cat guard,  returned  to  the  guard  position  and,  by  vir- 
tue of  his  hard  tackling  and  good  blocking,  earned  his 
letter.  His  outstanding  game  was  played  against  the 
Principia  team.  A  small  man  with  a  strong  heart, 
"Al"  will  undoubtedly  fill  the  gu 1  position  again  next 


KELLY  SIMMONS,  Sen, 

Woodriver.     Halfback;    .  :  Letterman. 

Kelly,  although  one  of  the  Iigl      .  on  the  McKen- 

dree squad,  was  one  of  the  i  tost  ^gressive  backfield 
men  to  don  the  Purple  and  White.  "Kels"  pulled  the 
"Cats"  out  of  the  hole  several  times  with  his  accurate 
passing  and  his  dazzling  running.  Besides  being  a 
valuable  runner  and  passer  Kelly  was  also  the  "brains" 
of  the  team,  calling  most  of  the  plays. 

MILTON  SAGER,  Senior 

Mt.  Vernon.  Tackle;  Three  Year  Letterman. 
In  evaluating  a  player's  worth  a  great  deal  of  empha- 
sis is  placed  upon  his  ability  to  work  in  several  posi- 
tions, if  needed.  "Milt"  has  done  a  great  deal  to  prove 
his  worth  to  the  team  by  filling  in  at  tackle,  center, 
guard,  or  wherever  he  was  needed  most.  By  virtue 
of  his  hard  tackling,  good  blocking,  and  smooth  cen- 
tering, he  was  looked  upon  as  one  of  the  most  valuable 
players  on  the  McKendree  team.

\\  hat,  at  the  beginning,  bade  fair  to  be  a  banner  season  for  the  I'.earcat  Cagers 
ended  on  a  somewhat  sour  note  for  MeKendree.  Of  the  seventeen  games  played, 
McKendree  lost  twelve  and  won  five.  While  the  total  game  score  appeared  rather 
one-sided,  the  individual  game  scores  showed  up  quite  differently,  a  number  of 
games  being  lost  by  a  very  narrow  margin.  The  game  with  Washington  Univer- 
sity appeared  to  be  a  Piearcat  victory  at  the  half,  but  the  Washington  Hears  came 
through  in  the  last  half  to  defeat  the  Bearcats  by  a  two-point  margin. 

The  seven  lettermen  were  the  ones  who  were  "on  deck"  for  every  game  and 
carried  the  heavy  end  of  the  load. 

A  great  loss  will  be  felt  by  the  1940-41  Bearcat  Cagers  this  June  since  both 
John  "Jumbo"  Henderson  and  John  "Ace"  Harmon  are  to  be  graduated.  A  strong 
reserve  team  will  greatly  aid  Coach  Henderson  in  the  formation  of  his  19-10-41 
team.

CAPTAIN    IOHN  "JUMBO" 
HENDERSON,  Senior 
Thebes.     Guard;    Three  Year   Letterman. 

'•Jumbo"  was  one  of  the  three  returning  lettermen 
on  the  Bearcat  team.  A  consistent  player,  he  showed 
outstanding  ability  in  the  position  (if  guard.  Although 
not  leading  in  the  scoring  division,  his  ball-handling 
and  occasional  long  shots  helped  pull  the  "Cats"  out 
of  many  a  tight  spot.  His  game  performance,  plus 
his  dependability,  made  him  one  of  the  outstanding 
McKendree   basketball    captains. 

PAUL  "WHANG"  GRIFFIN,  Freshman 

East  St.  Louis.  Forward;  One  Year 
Letterman. 
Prom  the  first  the  "blushing  violet"  of  the  squad. 
"Whang"  showed  himself  to  be  a  hard  scrapper  and 
an  asset  to  the  Bearcat  scoring  machine.  "Whang's" 
outstanding  game  was  played  against  Springfield  Col- 
lege on  the  McKendree  floor.  Although  a  newcomer 
to  the  team,  McKendree's  rivals  have  recognized  in 
him    a    power    with    which    to    reckon. 

CICERO  BURNS,  Sophomore 

Lebanon.    Forward ;  One  Year  Letterman. 

Missing  only  two  McKendree  games  this  season, 
Cicero  p.oved  himself  to  be  verv  valuable  to  Coach 
Henderson's  Cagers.  Cicero's  clever  ball-handling 
and  passing  enabled  the  Bearcats  to  score  a  great 
number  of  their  points.  With  two  years  remaining, 
he  will  undoubtedly  be  one  of  the  key  men  on  future 
McKendree    teams. 

JOHN  "ACE"  HARMON,  Senior 

Lebanon.    Center;   Four  Year  Letterman. 

"Ace,"  the  tall,  handsome  individual  on  the  team 
always  conspicuous  by  his  silence,  has  served  Mc- 
Kendree for  four  years  in  every  varsity  sport. 
Although  he  was  outstanding  in  every  sport,  "Ace" 
excelled  in  his  ability  to  "hit  the  hoop."  A  steady 
defensive  player  and  an  aggressive  offensive  player, 
he  has  earned  the  distinction  of  being  one  of  the 
best  McKendree  cagers.  Out  of  557  points  scored 
for  the  McKendree  team  "Ace"  scored  161.  He  will 
long  be  remembered  for  his  work  on  McKendree 
cage    teams. 

MASON    PETTY,   Freshman 

Homer.     Guard;  One  Year  Letterman. 

Mason  played  his  initial  college  game  against  the 
Washington  University  Bears.  With  this  introduc- 
tion into  college  basketball  he  continued  to  play  a 
hard  game  the  rest  of  the  season.  A  shoulder  injury- 
caused  him  to  retire  from  the  squad  for  a  short  time 
but  he  finished  the  season  with  the  team.  With  three 
years  ahead  of  him,  we  will  undoubtedly  see  Mason 
on    future    McKendree    teams. 


MARVIN  "CUZ"  CORZINEj  Freshman 
Centralia.      Forward;    One    Year    Lette 
man. 

"Cuz,"     fresh     from     Coach     Bozart's     Centralia     ia; 
team,    was    outstanding    in    every    game.       His    "qui. 
break"    and    ability    to    handle    the    ball    with 
hand   caused   the   opposition   a   great   deal   of  c< 
"Cuz,"   in   his  scoring,    was  second   to   "Ace"    H 
scoring  a  total   of    119   points   out   of  the   557.

Bart  was  one  of  the  strong  spots  in  the  Bearcats' 
defensive  machine.  His  ability  to  pass  and  work 
with  the  rest  of  the  team  was  responsible  for  a  large 
percentage  of  McKendree  baskets.  Although  never 
the  high  point  gainer,  Bart  consistently  gained  points 
for  the  Bearcats.  He  has  one  more  year  with  the 
McKendree    squad.

INTRAMURALS 


One  of  the  outstanding  points  of  interest  in  our  athletic  program  for  this  year 
has  been  the  intramural  competition  in  basketball  and  softball. 

The  Lu-Helens  came  out  victorious  in  the  basketball  tournament  with  compe- 
tition being  furnished  by  the  Termites,  the  Bar-flies  and  the  Scrubs. 

Five  softball  teams  answered  the  initial  call  for  intramural  competition.   They 
are  the  Cyclops,  Scrubs,  Diamonds,  Bar-flies  and  Woodpeckers. 

Two  teams  have  aspired  to  semi-professional  aid,  inviting  several  of  the  pro- 
fessors to  supplement  their  playing  forces. 

The  softball  intramural  program  involved  sixty  men,  thereby  offering  them 
entertainment  three  nights  a  week. 


EXTRA-MURAL  SOFTBALL 

In  addition  to  our  intramural  program,  Coach  Henderson  is  promoting  an 
extra-mural  softball  program  which  will  place  the  best  players  of  our  intramural 
teams  in  competition  with  the  softball  squads  of  other  schools. 

Last  year  the  inter-school  competition  was  a  varsity  sport.  The  returning 
members  of  last  year's  varsitv  team  have  helped  greatly  in  the  formation  of  a 
strong  McKendree  team  for  this  year. 


RECREATION  PROGRAM 

A  great  deal  of  progress,  during  the  1939-40  semester,  has  been  made  in  the 
McKendree  recreational  program,  largely  through  the  efforts  of  Athletic  Director 
A.  K.  Henderson. 

Additional  gvmnastic  classes  have  been  added  and  a  greater  opportunitv  has 
oeen  given  to  each  individual  to  participate  in  some  form  of  activity.  Additions 
to  the  program  include  volley  ball,  tumbling,  tennis,  golf,  basketball,  and  bad- 
minton. 

The  creation  of  a  recreation  room  providing  facilities  for  shuffleboard,  ping 
pong,  checkers,  and  chess,  has  afforded  an  opportunity  for  student  recreation  dur 
ing  leisure  moments.

The  McKendree  Revue! 


(Music  Up — McKendree  "Loyalty")

From  station  MCK  we  bring  you  the  McKendree 
Revue,  sponsored  by  McKendree  College,  Lebanon, 
Illinois. 


(Fade  out 


(Music  up) 

"It's  a  song  of  praise  we  raise  to 
thee") 


From  two  hundred  homes,  the  history  of  the  world 
is  moving  forward — in  East  St.  Louis,  Belleville,  Gran- 
ite City ;  in  Sumner,  Mascoutah,  and  Posey  tonight 
there  is  a  lingering  sadness.  For  school  has  begin 
again  and  with  luggage  in  tow,  McKendreans  began  the  grand  trek  Lebanonward. 

Beginning  Monday,  September  11,  with  freshman  registration  and  the  ap- 
pearance of  "Worry  Wart"  Ashby  on  the  campus,  the  spirit  of  1939-40  manifested 
itself  among  green  and  seasoned  students  alike. 

Two  picnics  were  held,  one  of  which  took  place  on  Hypes  Field.  .  .  After 
facing  a  strenuous  day  of  separating  "snaps"  from  7  :40's,  even  the  upperclass- 
men  were  ready  for  this  picnic,  which  consisted  of  enough  doughnuts  and  apples 
for  even  a  husky  freshman  named  Griffin. 

Leap  year  begins  early  at  McKendree,  if  the  "Y  Mixer"  is  any  indication. 
Recreation  leaders  Hertenstein  and  Herman  urged  the  girls  to  make  the  advances 
as  well  as  the  fellows  when  a  game  which  was  a  series  of  "dates"  was  presented 
to  the  group.  And  did  they  heed  the  advice?  Well,  judging  from  some  of  the 
surprising  couples,  we  believe  they  did.  And  time  alone  can  tell  what  chips  have 
fallen  where  they  otherwise  might  not. 

In  the  cool  of  the  evening  of  Tuesday,  September  19,  there  was  racing  and 
chasing  a-plenty  on  the  second  and  third  floors  of  both  dorms,  not  to  speak  of  that 
among  students  living  off-campus.  If  everyone  didn't  go  to  the  President's  Re- 
ception, it  certainly  wasn't  from  the  lack  of  an  invitation.  In  the  candle-lighted 
rooms  of  the  Yost  home,  while  Madeleine  Yost  and  Dorothy  Hertenstein  presided 
over  the  punch  bowl  and  Marion  Kleinschmidt  and  the  lately-returned  Pearl  Dick- 
rivaled  the  Muses,  guests  wandered  from  room  to  room,  from  group  to  group. 
nibbling,  sipping,  chatting,  sometimes  on  the  arms  of  chairs,  hemmed  in  a  corner.

or  barred  by  fellow  guests.     Again,  one  of  the  major  events  of  the  season  has 
come  and  gone. 

I  was  driving  along  the  road  between  Lebanon  and  Edwardsville  last  Sat- 
urday morning  when,  upon  making  a  sudden  turn,  I  saw,  pulled  to  one  side  of  the 
highway,  the  McKendree  College  bus.  Upon  investigation  I  found  that  the  Timken 
bearings  in  the  rear  axle  had  broken  down.  While  the  boys  gave  the  bus  a  check- 
up, I  engaged  in  conversation  with  the  driver,  Mr.  Clifford  Brown.  The  group,  he 
said,  was  on  its  way  to  Youth  Day  at  the  annual  Methodist  Conference,  where 
the  night  before,  McKendree  students  had  given  a  program.  "Too  bad,  but  we're 
making  that  conference  today,"  he  shouted,  as  he  succeeded  in  starting  the  motor 
and  driving  away.  And,  perhaps,  if  I  don't  shut  off  my  motor  and  go  away,  my 
bearings,  too,  will  break  down. 


(Music  Up — "Loyalty")

This  is  station  MCK  bringing  you  the  McKendree 
Revue,  a  series  of  events  in  the  history  of  McKendree 
College. 

Good  morning,  radio  fans,  listeners-in,  and  patrons 
of  McKendree. 

Everything  here  has  plunged  madly,  daringly,  and 
headlong  into  school  life.  The  football  season  opened 
with  a  sss — boom !  at  Shurtleff .  McKendree  fans 
loaded  the  bus  and  went  up  to  show  Shurtleff  what 
they  could  do.  And,  despite  their  defeat,  McKendreans 
always  maintain  their  pride,  their  integrity, — and  Cicero! 

Last  year,  at  McKendree,  a  Faculty-Student  council  was  organized  for  a 
mutual  understanding  of  problems  on  the  campus.  That  body  had  hardly  closed 
its  secretary's  book  when  those  freshmen  let  chaos  loose.  The  evening  began  with 
a  drizzle  of  rain  and  ended  with  sophs  and  frosh,  alike,  looking  like  Huckleberry 
Finns.  Yes,  I  do  mean  the  Freshman  Fight.  Even  with  Brown  and  Henderson 
aiding  and  abetting  the  crime,  the  young  ones  got  it !  Failing  to  receive  the  right 
message,  the  group  got  separated — and  met  its  downfall.  Plastered  with  mud.  the 
fellows  were  "loaded  up"  for  their  annual  "ride"  to  Summerfield,  Shiloh,  and 
points  South;  and  even  the  girls  met  a  similar  fate!  So,  tired,  bedraggled,  but 
undaunted,  the  frosh  found  themselves  with  the  worst  end  of  the  deal — and  no 
food  !    Could  there  have  been  a  happier  ending  ? 

"Is  this  Leopold  Stokowski  or  Ren  Bernie?"  .  .  .  "Who  is  that  fellow  that 
looks  like  Jimmy  Durante?"  ...  "I  would  swear  that's  Robert  Taylor,  but  it  might

be  Bob  Montgomery."  No,  it's  not  a  Hollywood  masquerade,  but  a  party  at  the 
Methodist  Church,  and  the  game  was  to  identity  pictures.  Ralph  Edwards  was 
the  winner,  missing  only  the  Dionne  quints'  first  name.  Such  a  part}-  you  never 
saw!  The  guests  were  enchanted  with  the  "cobwebs",  at  the  ends  of  which  hung 
innumerable  toys.  And  they  proceeded  to  shed  their  dignity  and  play  jacks  on 
the  stone  basement  Moor.  But  such,  my  friends,  is  human  nature;  and  for  a  re- 
instating of  McKendree's  dignity  in  your  own  minds,  go  look  at  those  long- 
lamented  Philo  records  that  returned  last  week  to  solve  a  mystery  of  half  a 
century.

Good  morning,  radio  listeners.  This  is  station  MCK, 
Lebanon,  Illinois,  bringing  you  another  series  of  thrilling 
adventures  on  McKendree  College  Campus — The  McKen- 
dree Revue. 


If  you  had  been  on  McKendree's  campus  one  Friday 
morning  a  few  weeks  ago,  you  would  have  thought,  with 
horror,  that  the  world  was  in  its  last  stages  of  degrada- 
tion.     Ranging   from   Robin   Hood   to  Adolf   Hitler,   the 

crowd  gathered  around  the  Chapel  steps  might  easily  have  been  collecting  for  a 
raid  on  the  local  bank.  But,  "what's  college  life  coming  to  if  we  can't  have  a  Hobo 
Day  in  peace?"  asked  McKendree's  student  body.  Peace?  Somebody  had  brought 
an  alarm  clock — and  that  version  of  "Chopsticks"! 

Don't  think  for  a  moment  that  McKendree  let  off  all  her  steam  on  Friday. 
Saturday  brought  a  red-letter  day  to  the  campus,  also.  Homecoming  day,  dawn- 
ing cold  and  cloud}',  brought  its  reunions,  its  memories,  Gloria  I'.aer  for  football 
queen,  victory  over  Chillicothe,  and  a  triumphant  Mrs.  Pidgeon  in  a  combat  called 
"Fresh  Fields". 

Tempus  has  quit  fugiting;  it  sneaks  up.     Mid-semester  exams  have  come, 
leaving  a  trail  of  nervous,  sleepy-eyed  students  in  their  wake.     Results  later  in 
the  month  revealed  that  some  students  became  unduly  alarmed  and  that  others 
well,  some  people  didn't  believe  Vesuvius  would  erupt,  either. 

Dr.  Mary  H.  Wright  has  had  the  position  of  chaperon  thrust  on  her  twice  this 
month — first,  when  the  Children's  Literature  class  toured  the  Belleville  Public 
Library;  and  again,  when  the  Review  staff  celebrated  the  birthday  of  the   Hill's

oldest  publication  by  going  to  East  St.  Louis  for  the  gala  occasion.  Eighteen 
years  old  this  month,  the  Review  has  never  ceased  to  be  the  delight  of  students 
during  the  time  of  "Maryhads"  down  through  the  current  "Owl". 

Again  McK's  campus  takes  on  dignity!  Open  House  at  Clark  Hall  last 
Thursday  evening  was  dignified  from  the  greeting  of  the  receiving  line  to  the  last 
glimpse  of  a  certain  sedate  senior  chatting  over  her  punch  glass.  And  if  one  or 
two  young  men  did  arrive  in  sweaters  and  slacks,  sans  ties,  and  if  two  others  did 
try  to  crash  the  paner  guards  at  the  west  end  of  third  floor,  that  was  no  reflection 
on  Clark  Hall. 

After  much  debate  concerning  the  choice  of  a  day  upon  which  Thanksgiving 
might  be  celebrated,  McKendree's  population  favored  the  newly-established  date  : 
so.  on  November  21  began  the  annual  Thanksgiving  vacation.  And  now,  with 
your  permission  and  hearty  approval,  I  avail  myself  of  the  same  opportunity.

December,   1939,  has  seen   few  activities  to  record. 

The  "Y's"  and  the  literary  societies  have  met  and  the 

^  basketball    team   has    won    two   games ;   the    ( )wl    lias 

tayed  awake,  and  the  Football  Banquet  was  a  success. 

£A  But  the  honors  go  to  the  Y.M.  and  Y.W.  in  a  joint 

Christmas  party. 

Formal  was  the  word,  they  said.  And  as  formal  as 
McKendree  can  be,  it  was,  with  even  two  sets  of  hosts 
and  hostesses.    Entertainment  varied  from  folk  games. 

with  skirts  swinging,  to  Van  Dyke's  "The  First  Christmas  Tree"  as  jNIrs.  Oppitz 

faced  a  dim  roomful  of  intent  faces. 

Thus,  with  the  glow  of  candle  light  on  Yuletide  decorations  and  pretty  for- 
mals,  with  a  blast  of  ten-cent  horns,  and  a  crash  of  toys  on  wheels,  McKendree's 
year  1939  virtually  ended.

With  the  arrival  of  1940  on  McKendree's  campus, 
come  also  a  rush  of  returning  students.  "Being  snowed 
under  at  home  isn't  much  fun  any  more.  It's  more  ex- 
citing to  be  where  you  can  at  least  tell  someone  down 
the  hall  all  about  what  somebody  gave  you  for  Christ- 
mas— "  .  .  .  Thus  remark  residents  of  Clark  Hall.  .  .  . 
The  men,  however,  are  less  committal,  preferring  to 
cover  their  intimacies  with  an  appearance  of  sophistry. 

Nevertheless,  we  do  hear  that  the  Fdwards  brothers  had  guests  over  the  holidays  ; 
that  Mr.  Sager  escaped  to  Florida  ;  that  numerous  others  defied  the  sub-zero 
weather  to  visit  friends  and  make  the  most  of  the  holidays. 

I  was  walking  down  the  dark  hall  on  second  in  the  men's  dorm  a  few  nights 
ago  when  T  saw  three  or  four  slumped  figures  seated  around  a  table.  Quiet  per- 
vaded the  hall.  T  watched  these  fellows  closely,  trying  to  detect  their  intentions. 
In  terror,  I  turned  to  see  someone  slinking  down  the  hall  to  his  room.  I  motioned 
for  him  to  come  and  asked  him  why  the  awful  silence  and  if,  perhaps,  it  would  be 
wise  to  call  Mr.  Rauschkolb.  Whereupon,  I  was  informed  that  semester  exams 
were  looming  before  the  student  body,  and  that  these  culprits  were  preparing  for 
the  awful  days  ahead. 

If  exams  slowed  down  somewhat  the  tempo  of  McKendree's  activity,  the 
members  of  the  College  a  capella  choir  were  not  daunted.  Doing  the  unusual 
with  new*  purple  and  white  robes  and  programs,  the  Glee  Club  began  its  annual 
series  of  programs  at  Trenton.  Friday,  January  26.  The  long  grind  of  trips  is 
upon  us  until  April. 

Isn't  it  amusing  to  watch  second-semester  "frosh"  register?  It  usually  takes 
about  fifteen  minutes — until  they  come  face-to- face  with  the  waiting  list  in  the 
office  and  see  number  121  staring  at  them  brazenly.  When  will  they  learn  that 
registration  day  is  the  time  to  figure  out  their  schedules — not  a  week  beforhand? 
It's  cold  as — ,  but  Nita  is  here,  so  why  worrv?

Good  morning,  radio  listeners.  February  has  been 
an  eventful,  exciting  month  here  at  McKendree.  Tt  all 
began  with  the  converting  of  the  old  Science  Hall  lec- 
ture room  into  a  recreation  room.  Although  conditions 
now  existing  are  said  to  be  temporary,  there  seems  to 
be  a  new  slant  given  to  education  on  our  campus  :  that 

of  ping  pong  and  chess.    And  if  there  be  those  students  among  us  who  have  that 
lean  and  hungry  look-well,  far  be  it  from  us  to  criticize!     Have  a  look  at  their

would  have  found,  probably, 
not  gripe  sessions,  not  a  pop-corn  party  on  the  sly,  but  someone  making  someone 
else's  bed,  mopping  the  floor,  or  hiding  a  package  with  a  heart  on  it.  Yes,  the

news-vendor. 

It"  March  has  been  hypocritical  about  the  weather,  it 
has  brought  some  new  and  interesting  events  to  McKen- 
dree.  The  year's  first  evening  recital  was  given  during  a 
regime  of  flu;  but  the  up  and  able  students  contributed  to 
its  success — And  then,  for  variety,  there  were  mid-semes- 
ter exams — McKendree's  a  capella  Choir  asserted  itself 
with  a  broadcast  over  KSD  to  remind  us  that  long,  tiring 
trips  have  need  of  a  recompense  somewhere.  .  .  And  debate 
has  llourished  again  where  it  originally  blossomed  and 
died  :  in  Philo  and  Pi  Kappa  Delta.  .  .  But  by  far  the  most 
which  the  old  campus  has  arisen  since  Homecoming 
was  her  Founders'  Day.  Scrubbed  and  polished,  both  buildings  and  student  body 
woke  on  March  14  to  greet  the  gloomiest  day  in  a  week — but  soon  forgot  its  gray- 
ness  in  welcoming  the  crowd  which  gathered  to  learn  about  McKendree's  age,  her 
problems,  and  her  talents  .  .  .  Then  as  suddenly  as  it  had  come,  the  rush  was  over 
and  Glee  Club  practice  and  tomorrow's  tests  became  realities  once  more.

Once  again  station  MCK  brings  you  the  McKen- 
dree Revue,  a  series  of  events  in  the  history  of  Mc- 
Kendree College. 

April  has  brought  to  the  campus  the  April  Fool 
edition  of  the  Review  carrying  an  announcement  of 
Coach  Henderson's  selection  for  the  part  of  Rhett 
I  hitler  in  "Gone  With  the  Wind",  an  account  of  the 
Utterback-Harmon  trial,  and  plans  for  the  Lake 
Beautiful  summer  resort. 

This  month,  however,  the  most-talked-of  event  on 
the    campus    was    the    spring    play.       "Wuthering 

Heights",  with  Marion  Kleinschmidt  and  "Scud"  Long  as  the  diabolical  Cathy 
and  Heathcliff .  The  members  of  the  cast  were  unusually  well-suited  to  their  parts  ; 
the  sound  effects  were  good;  and  the  scenes,  which  shifted  from  the  crude  room 
at  Wuthering  to  an  elegant  drawing  room  at  The  Grange,  were  carefully  done. 

After  ten  days  of  silent  dorms  and  quiet  town  the  all-too-brief  spring  vacation 
is  past.     The  Faculty  Dames  and  guests  make  merry  at  a  house-warming  affair

Before  and  after — that's  the  phrase  for  two  outstanding  recitals  given  shortly 
before  and  after  spring  vacation  in  McK's  chapel.  Mrs.  Becker,  St.  Louis,  gave 
us  a  taste  of  music  from  the  outside  and  Lucille  Floetman,  one  of  our  own  so- 
pranos, reminded  us  of  what  can  still  be  done  on  our  own  campus. 

"Hurry!  Hurry!"  No  one  knows  the  significance  of  those  words  as  do  Mc- 
Kendrean  staff  members.  Editor  I.  Shaffer  and  her  force  have  been  doing  some 
scatter-brained  thinking  and  spasmodic  work  since  Spring  vacation.  But  now  that 
the  McKendrean  has  gone  to  press,  they  could  rest — if  it  weren't  for  term  papers. 

Alpha  Psi  Omega  has  been  one  of  those  organizations  suffering  from  a  lack 
of  membership.  But  all  it  needed  was  the  spring  tonic  of  seeing  Paul  Muni  in 
"Key  Largo"  and  a  dinner  afterward  to  give  it  a  new  zest  for  life. 

And  that,  my  friends,  is  precisely  what  I  need  now — lazy  days  and  warm 
nights  are  upon  us.

Good  morning,  radio  fans.  This  is  station  MCK 
bringing  you  the  last  program  in  the  McKendree  Revue 
series. 

I'm  not  very  good  at  coaxing,  but  I  wheedled  a  cer- 
tain McKendree  co-ed  out  of  her  most  valued  posses- 
sion :  a  dairy.     From  which  we  read  these  words : 

"May,  the  month  of  college  romance  !  It  is  upon  us. 
Y.W.  cabinet  began  it  right  with  a  May  day  breakfast 
and  hike.  Ruined  my  May  basket  by  dropping  and  let- 
ting a  car  run  over  it.  Oh  !  My  feet !  May  Fete  today.  Ah,  memories  of  my 
freshman  days — gone  so  soon.  Time  is  so  fleeting.  The  past  two  weeks  are 
as  a  dream:  exams,  (how  I  always  work  those  five  days!),  the  Dorris  oratorical 
contest,  Clio-Philo  exhibition,  with  the  girls  in  their  summery  dresses  ;  caps  and 
gowns  flying  on  Baccalaureate  Sunday;  music  from  "Elijah"  ringing  out  across 
the  Hill;' the  last  senior  recital,  and  again  the  infinite  array  of  caps  and  gowns  in 
the  long  procession  up  the  President's  walk.  .  .  .  But  a  few  days,  even  hours,  ago 
we  prated  and  hid  from  ourselves  what  was  gripping  us.  This  empty  feeling  that 
keeps  haunting  me  .  .  And  summer  coming;  and  another  September!  Must  such 
beginnings  always  come  with  these  inevitable  ends  stored  away  to  deceive  the 
heart?" 

Truly,  we  regret  another  year  is  ended  and  we  must  be  gone — but  only  to  re- 
turn again.  And  until  next  September  McKendree  College  wishes  you  the  best  of 
success  and  a  pleasant  vacation.

Dramatically  Speaking 


Periodically,  it  seems,  someone  among  McKendree's  student  body  decides  to 
try  out  for  a  play  and  succeeds  remarkably  well,  or  some  old  stars  make  a  come- 
back.    Roth  cases  have  occurred  on  our  campus  this  year. 

Especially  was  this  true  of  the  Homecoming  play,  "Fresh  Fields",  by  Ivor 
Novello.  Delicate  Lady  Lillian  and  frank  Mrs.  Pidgeon  made  a  sharp  contrast  of 
character  throughout  the  play.  Vivacious,  rollicking,  surprising,  "Fresh  Fields" 
deserved  the  acclaim  it  was  given  by  our  own  and  other  newspapers.

"Wuthering  Heights",  adapted  by  Randolph  Carter  from  the  book  by  Emily 
Bronte,  was  outstanding  in  all  its  phases — from  the  pewter  dishes  and  crude 
broom  on  the  hearth  to  the  eerie  sound-effects  backstage. 

The  scenery,  rough  and  melancholy  in  the  first  and  third  acts,  contrasting 
strongly  with  the  refined,  cheerful  effects  of  the  second  act,  lent  much  to  the  at- 
mosphere of  the  play.  Lacking  in  superficial  humor,  "Wuthering  Heights"  is  pos- 
sibly the  heaviest  drama  McKendree  players  have  ever  produced.  The  actors 
showed  an  unusual  keenness  for  studying  and  adapting  themselves  to  the  charac- 
ters of  a  truly  dramatic  production.

OF  THE  McKENDREAN 


May 
Queen 


BERTIE  BAUER 
Bunker  Hill 

Bertie,  our  May  Queen,  is  an  active  member  of  Clio,  Sigma  Zeta,  and  the 
Women's  Athletic  Association.  We  need  not  mention  her  popularity  with  the  Boy 
and  Girl  on  the  campus  since  she  has  been  Football  Queen  as  well  as  having  been 
elected  by  the  girls  of  Clark  Hall  to  be  their  first  representative  to  the  Faculty- 
Student  Council. 

We  have  recognized  in  Bertie  the  unassuming  beauty  of  character  which  so 
eloquentlv  compliments  the  beauty  of  her  features  and  which  adds  so  greatly  to 
the  charm  of  her  personality. 

Pearl  Dick  of  Mascoutah  served  as  Maid  of  Honor.  Dorothy  Hertenstein, 
Madeleine  Yost,  Helen  Waggoner,  and  Lucille  Floetman  were  the  Queen's  other 
attendants.
