ALMA     MATER 

A  college   'mid  plains  is  standing, 

Standing  there  from  olden  days  .  .  . 
A  pioneer  of  learning, 

First  in  untrodden  ways  .  .  . 
For  service  and  Christian  culture. 

For  efficiency  she  stands  .  .  . 
Her  bons  and  daughters  praise  her 

With   voices,    hearts   and    hands    .    .    . 

Chorus- 
hiail   to  thee  our  dear  old   McKendree 

May  v^e  always  loyal  be  .  .  . 
It's  a  song  of  praise  we  raise  to  thee 

Alma  Mater  dear  old  M-C  .  .  . 
May  we  ever  hold  thee  true  and  wise  and  right 

hlonor  purple  and  the  white  .  .  . 
And  for  victory  we'll  always  fight 

Till  we  win  for  old   Mc-K  .  .  . 

Enduring  and  strong  she  stands  there, 

Stands  upon  our  College  Hill  .  .  . 
Tho'   others   may  out-number 

She  holds  the  first  place  still, 
For  beauty,  truth  and  knowledge. 

And  for  service  without  bound  .  .  . 
Then  let  us  raise  our  voices 

Until  the  plains  resound  .  .  .

Our  record  of  days  of  McKendree  during  a  year 
when  this  college,  which  has  actively  stood  for 
Christian  education  and  love  of  country  during 
the  Mexican  War,  the  Civil  War,  the  Spanish- 
American  War  and  the  trying  days  of  the  first 
World  War,  is  once  again  devoting  itself  whole- 
heartedly to  securing  victory  for  the  ideals  upon 
which  our  country  was  founded — the  right  of 
mankind  to  realize  the  great  inalienable  human 
rights  of  Life,  Liberty  and  the  Pursuit  of  hlop- 
piness.

have  been  called  to  go  and  defend  their  homes  and  free- 
doms on  the  battle  fields  of  the  world,  in  Africa,  India, 
Australia  and  on  the  islands  of  the  sea. 


It  is  to  those  sons  of  our  Alma  Mater  who  have  so  courage- 
ously gone  forth  to  defend,  with  their  lives  if  need  be,  the 
liberties  of  all  free  men  everywhere — to  those  who  hove 
given  most  and  asked  least  in  return — 

WE  DEDICATE  THIS  VOLUME.

It  is  inevitable  that  in  every  college  changes  should 
occur  in  the  teaching  staff.  These  vacancies  are  filled 
and  the  work  goes  on  as  before.  The  administration  is 
satisfied  if  the  work  is  maintained  at  the  desired  standard 
of  efficiency. 

When  Doctor  James  Cloy  Dolley  requested  that  he  be 
granted  the  retired  status,  last  June  the  College  sustained  a 
loss  for  which  there  was  no  compensation.  Provision  was 
made  for  the  work  of  his  department,  but  a  landmark  hod 
been  removed.  When,  on  February  6th,  he  departed  from 
among  the  living  the  loss  was  made  absolute. 

For  forty-three  years  Doctor  Dolley  gave  generously  of  his 
scholarship,  counsel  and  friendship  to  hundreds  whose  lives 
were  enriched,  inspired  and  stabilized  by  his  ministrations. 
Kindly  and  urbane  by  nature,  his  unaffected  sincerity  built 
for  him  o  secure  place  in  the  affections  of  students  and 
colleagues.  hHe  v/os  loyal  to  his  high  ideals  in  every  depart- 
ment of  his  service.  Hie  served  faithfully,  uncomplainingly  in 
some  of  the  most  difficult  years  of  the  life  of  the  College. 
His  services,  his  personality,  his  character  have  branded 
themselves  on  the  memory  of  oil  who  love  McKendree  Col- 
lege.

If  we  work  upon  marble  it  will  perish,  if 
we  work  upon  brass,  time  will  efface  it, 
if  we  rear  temples  they  will  crumble  Into 
dust,  but  if  we  work  upon  immortal  minds, 
if  we  imbue  them  with  principles,  with  the 
just  fear  of  God  and  love  of  our  fellow 
man,  we  engrave  on  these  tables  some- 
thing that  will   brighten  all  eternity. 

• — Author  unknown. 


It  is  nothing  to  give  pension  and  cottage 
to  the  widow  who  has  lost  her  son;  it  is 
nothing  to  give  food  and  medicine  to  the 
workman  who  has  broken  his  arm,  or  the 
decrepit  woman  wasting  in  sickness.  But 
it  is  something  to  use  your  time  and 
strength  to  war  with  the  waywardness  and 
thoughtlessness  of  mankind;  to  keep  the 
erring  workman  in  your  service  till  you 
hove  made  him  on  unerring  one,  and  to 
direct  your  fellow-merchant  to  the  op- 
portunity which  his  judgement  would  have 
lost.

JUNIOR    CLASS    HISTORY 

The  Class  of  '44  was  able  to  keep  up  its  renown  because  of  its  active  social  life.  Beginning  with 
its  Freshman  year  the  present  Junior  class  has  been  outstanding.  Through  careful  maneuvering, 
they  were  able  to  enjov  the  annual  Freshman  Feed  without  interruption  by  the  upper-classmen.  As 
Sophomores  this  class  '  a  hay-ride,  an  unusual  activity  on  the  campus.  The  Friday  night  All-College 
parties  v/ere  begun  in  e  spirits  with  the  Class  of  '44  sponsoring  one  of  their  genuine  hoy-rides,  with 
hay,  horses,  chaperons,  et  cl. 

Time  passes  on,  and  so  it  seems  that  students  do  also.  The  Class  of  '44  began  its  career  with 
an  enrollment  of  fifty-seven  for  the  Freshman  year.  After  the  Freshman  thinning,  there  were  thirty- 
five  the  second  year.  This  year  there  were  nmeteen  in  the  class.  From  all  appearances  the  number 
will  decrease  proportionately  next  year. 

The  class  of  '44  has  a  good  spirit  of  service  In  its  attitude  toward  life.  A  number  of  the  men 
who  once  answered  to  the  roll  coll  of  the  Class  of  '44  ore  now  answering  the  Roll  Call  of  the 
Colors.  Of  lost  year's  thirty-five  students,  six  did  not  return  because  of  service  to  the  government; 
two  because  of  teaching;  two  because  of  marriage;  and  two  because  of  nurse's  training.  Among  the 
numbers  of  the  present  class  there  ore  five  men  In  the  Reserves,  seven  men  serving  as  Student  Min- 
isters, two  women  training  for  Deaconesses.  Two  men  have  left  school  for  the  Navy  since  September. 
McKendree  Is  proud  of  the  service  rendered  by  this  class. 

Though,  In  number,  the  Class  of  '44  Is  dlmlnlsnlng,  the  spirit  of  the  class  and  its  loyalty  to  McKen- 
dree Is  ever  the  same.

OIPHOMORiE  CLASS 


SOPHOMORE  CLASS  HISTORY 

Last  year's  Freshman  class  of  fifty  husky  lads  and  iimid 
lassies  has  dwindled  down  to  a  Sophomore  class  of  twenty- 
four.  To  moke  up  for  the  decrease  in  numbers,  the  class 
has  put  forth  twice  as  much  effort  as  it  might  have  ex- 
hibited in  normal  times. 

With  their  own  successful  picnic  of  last  year,  the  hair- 
cuts, and  the  night  rides  in  mind,  the  group  initiated  this 
year's  "greenies"  in  proper  style. 

The  majority  of  the  members  of  the  class  participate 
in  the  organizations  and  the  out-side  activities  of  the 
campus.  Many  of  its  members  hold  executive  positions  in 
the  literary  societies,  the  Y's,  and  on  the  staff  of  the  Re- 
view.    Sophomores  are  well-represented  in  sports,  too. 

Just  this  year  some  of  the  boys  hove  been  called   into 
the  armed  services;  others  have  enlisted  in  the  reserves. 
Take  notice  of  this  class! 


You    can    tell    the    serious    Senior 
By  his  grave  and  lordly  airs 
You  can  always  tell  a   Freshman 
By  the  colors  which  he  weors 
You  can  tell  the  ardent  Junior 
By  his  academic  touch 
And  you  can  tell  o  Sophomore 
But — you  can  not  tell  him  much.

FRESHMAN 
CLASS    HISTORY 


Last  fall  we,  the  Class  of  '46,  enrolled  as  mem- 
bers of  McKendree,  just  as  our  predecessors  have 
done  for  the  last  one  hundred  and  fifteen  years. 
Like  any  other  Freshman  class,  we  were  green 
about  college  life.  We  did  not  know  what  to  ex- 
pect, or  how  we  would  fit  into  the  college  scene, 
but  it  was  not  long  until  we  caught  the  spirit  from 
our  upperclass  friends,  and  became  a  happy  port 
of  the  college  family. 

As  we  fell  into  step,  McKendree  traditions  be- 
came our  standards.  Memories  handed  down 
through  the  years  became  our  memories.  Among 
them  lies  our  initiation  week  durmg  which  many  of 
us  became  personally  acquainted  with  Lake  Beau- 
tiful and  the  chapel  belfry.  Just  as  inspiring  were 
our  moonlight  hikes. 

In  our  serious  moods  we  selected  our  officers, 
and  settled  down  to  be  worthwhile  Freshmen.  We 
were  proud  to  take  on  active  port  in  celebratmg 
the  annual  hHomecoming  and  in  sponsoring  an  All- 
School  play  night. 

Our  country  has  called  a  few  of  us  to  its  de- 
fense, but  we  who  remain  hope,  as  our  first  year 
draws  to  a  close,  that  McKendree  has  benefited 
by  our  having  lived  within  her  walls. 

To  those  who  will  soon  take  our  places,  we  give 
our  welcome  as  we  pass  on  as  upperclassmen  to  do 
greater  service  for  the  school  we  love,  our  Alma 
Mater.  McK.

Freshman 
Homecoming    Program 


When  a  new  tradition  is  begun  on  an  old 
campus,  then  it  is  time  to  pay  attention,  and 
apparently  the  All-Freshman  Program  held  on  the 
Friday  evening  of  hHomecoming  week  end  will 
become  an  annual  event.  On  that  night  the 
Freshmen  removed  their  green  caps  for  the  last 
time.  Then,  with  talent  selected  from  thier  own 
ranks,    they   presented   the    following    program:

CLIONIAN  LITERARY  SOCIETY 

An  outstanding  spirit  of  loyalty  and  co-opera- 
tion instilled  in  the  nnembers  of  our  society  has 
made  this  past  year  one  to  be  remembered. 
Former  Clionians  joined  with  the  society  in  the 
redecoration  program  of  the  hall. 

Each  program  has  been  prepared  by  the 
critics  to  give  a  wide  variety  in  the  display  of 
talents.  Most  of  the  programs  have  a  central 
theme  around  which  a  unification  of  thoughts 
is  possible.  Several  well  attended  open  sessions 
were   held   during   the  year. 

Nine  members  were  pledged  this  year  and 
Miss  Conrow  again  was  sponsor  to  our  society. 

The  year  can  be  ended  with  a  backward 
look  of  satisfaction,  for  Clio  has  again  proved 
its  right  to  niche  on  our  hiill. 

PHILOSOPHIAN  LITERARY  SOCIETY 

In  this,  Philo's  106th  year,  many  changes  have 
occurred.  Philo  gave  three  men;  Bernard 
Logan,  James  Oppitz,  and  Cyril  Curtis  to  the 
services  of  our  country  and  took  six  new  mem- 
bers under  its  wing. 

Open  sessions,  the  pledge  banquet,  and  the 
regular  weekly  meetings  have  won  Philo  a  dis- 
tinguished place  on  the  campus  again  this  year. 

We  are  proud  to  give  men  to  the  service  of 
our  country  and  feel  that  the  training  received 
in  Philo  will  help  them  be  of  more  value  to 
the    U.   S.    A. 

PLATONIAN  LITERARY  SOCIETY 

Plato  this  year,  as  was  true  in  the  past,  was 
a  literary  society  containing  many  athletes. 
Six  of  the  seven  basketball  lettermen  were 
Plotonians.  Plato  met  Philo  on  the  basketball 
floor  as  the  feature  of  hHomecoming.  Plato 
emerged  victorious  by  a  50-33  score. 

Plato  started  the  year  with  ten  members. 
Four  were  pledged  the  first  semester,  and  four 
more  the  second  semester.  Only  six  of  these 
eighteen  will  be  lost  by  graduation. 

This  year,  Plato  hall  was  completely  redec- 
orated. With  the  contributions  of  many  old 
Plotonians,  a  new  floor  was  laid  and  walls  and 
ceiling  were  refinished. 

As  long  as  there  is  a  McKendree,  Plato  will 
be  in  there  pitching.

SIGMA  BETA  RHO 

Sigma  Beta  Rho  was  organized  to  bring  those 
students  going  into  full-tinne  Christian  service 
into  closer  fellowship,  in  order  that  student 
religious  activities  might  be  correlated  into  one 
organization,  and  that  weekly  meetings  might 
be  held  for  worship  and  inspiration. 

Many  of  the  students  of  the  campus  feel  the 
need  of  meditation  before  the  hurry  of  the  day 
begins,  and  they  hove  found  the  morning  prayer 
meetings  the  answer  to  their  needs.  These 
have  been  inspirational  and  helpful  to  the  cam- 
pus life. 

The  Witnessing  Bond  has  been  active  this 
year,  although  handicapped  by  gas  rationing. 
Members  hove  held  services  in  ten  churches. 

This  year  Sigma  Beta  Rho  has  had  a  new 
activity  In  its  program,  the  Gospel  Quartet, 
which  sang  or  conducted  services  in  twenty-one 
churches  where  they  were  given  a  fine  welcome. 

SIGMA  TAU  DELTA 

This  is  the  seventh  year  of  the  Sigma  Tou 
Delta  chapter  on  the  campus.  The  meetings 
ore  held  at  the  home  of  Dr.  West  and  consist 
of  reports  on  current  books  of  lasting   interest. 

The  induction  ceremony  for  four  new  mem- 
bers was  held  April    12. 

The  purpose  of  the  society  is  to  enjoy  litera- 
ture and  to  create  the  desire  to  write. 

SIGMA  ZETA 

The  Sigma  Zeto  honorary  science  society  is 
a  national  organization  whose  purpose  is  to 
encourage  scientific  study  and  to  recognize  stu- 
dents of  high  scholorship  in  the  natural  sciences 
and  mathematics.  The  Beta  Chapter  at 
McKendree  College  was  organized   in    1926. 

The  Chapter  opened  the  school  year  1942- 
1943  with  four  active  members:  J.  Frank  Glot- 
felty,  Paul  Griffin,  Russel  Drennon,  and  Dr. 
Stowell.  During  the  year  the  following  new 
pledges  were  initiated:  Cyril  Curtis,  Robert 
Donnebrink,  Ross  Hortin,  James  Loy,  Malcolm 
Myres,  and  Earnest  Smith. 

Dr.  E.  R.  Spencer  and  Professor  S.  M.  McClure 
have  retained  their  membership  in  the  Beta 
Chapter.  Dr.  Spencer's  work  on  "Just  Weeds" 
has  become  widely  known.  Professor  McClure 
has  devised  a  system  for  the  classification  of 
geological  specimens,  which  was  used  in  organi- 
zing the  Waggoner  Collection  at  McKendree 
College,  and  has  since  been  used  to  classify  a 
similar  collection  at  Boll  State  Teachers' 
College,  Muncie,  Indiana. 

The  Chapter  has  revived  the  Waggoner 
Memorial  Award,  which  is  given  each  year  to 
some  student  in  recognition  of  outstanding 
scientific  work.  The  winner  of  the  award  will 
be  announced  at  the  Commencement  exercises.

Dreaming    o^   a    white    campus 

Funnies   fans 

Stage    Stooges 


The  goals  of  the  Association: 

1.  To  understand  the  work  of  the  area,  and  of 

the   Y.   W.   in   general 

2.  To  promote  an  interest  In  world  citizenship. 
These    were    studied     and    well     carried     out 

through  the  regular  meetings  held  each 
Wednesday  night.  The  association  fulfilled  its 
requirements  to  become  a  participating  "Y"  in 
the  National  Organization.  Several  of  the  offi- 
cers attended  a  conference  in  November  at 
Macomb.  They  also  plan  to  send  a  represen- 
tative to  the  Loke  Geneva  Conference  during 
the   Summer. 

The  Y.  W.  porticlpated  with  the  Y.  M.  and 
the  Administration  In  the  sacrificial  meal  for 
the  W.S.S.F.  Many  of  Its  members  were  blood 
donors  for  the  Red  Cross.  For  the  children  in 
the  mountain  districts  of  the  South,  it  sent  a  box 
of  toys  from  the  "Y"  Christmas  party  and 
later  a  box  of  Children's  books.  For  war  work 
a  few  of  its  members  knitted  for  Red  Cross.  It 
also  co-operated  with  the  Y.  M.  In  planning 
social  activities  for  the  campus. 

Y.  M.  C.  A. 

Early  in  the  school  year  Dr.  hiarold  Colvin, 
regional  secretary  of  the  Y.M.C.A.  visited  our 
campus,  and  after  talking  with  him  our  "Y" 
voted  to  become  affiliated  with  the  national 
student  "Y"  group. 

They  were  instrumental  in  getting  for  a  chapel 
speaker.  Dr.  Wilhelm  Solzbocher,  a  represen- 
tative of  the  World  Student  Service  Fund.  After 
hearing  his  presentation  of  the  work  and  of  the 
urgent  need  for  funds  to  corry  on,  the  Y.M. 
in  co-operation  with  the  Y.  W.  and  the  college 
administration,  arranged  for  the  students  and 
faculty  members  to  observe  a  sacrificial  meal. 
Income  of  which  was  $21.00,  which  was  sent  into 
the  national  headquarters  of  W.S.S.F. 

UTTLE  THEATRE 

The  dramatics  organization,  Little  Theatre, 
grew  to  be  a  large  group  by  the  second 
semester  for  its  membership  increased  from  four 
to  twenty-five.  The  regular  meeting  programs 
were  well  planned  and  well  attended  throughout 
the  year.  The  open  sessions  revealed  talent  and 
the  party  sponsored  in  March  was  a  huge 
success. 

It  was  on  active  organization,  for  it  worked 
with  the  play-production  class  in  sponsoring  the 
Homecoming  play,  "What  A  Life,"  the  Christ- 
mas ploy,  "No  Room  In  The  hHotel,"  "The  Chal- 
lenge Of  The  Cross,"  and  the  one-act  spring 
plays.  It  took  time,  effort,  and  talent,  but  It  was 
worth  it  all,  from  the  viewpoints  of  participants 
and  audiences.

GLEE  CLUB 

Another  school  year  has  passed,  and  once 
again  the  chorus  of  fine  young  voices  has  been 
lifted  in  song.  The  members  were  very  sorry 
to  see  Miss  Ridgway  leave,  but  they  were 
happy  to  welcome  Mrs.  Lesher  who  has  been  a 
charming  and  capable  director. 

The  Glee  Club  this  year  has  visited  the 
Methodist  Churches  in  East  St.  Louis,  Granite 
City,  and  Centralia.  The  members  also  song 
at  our  own  Methodist  College  Church  in 
Lebanon,  and  at  chapel  services.  Six  concerts 
were  scheduled  for  April,  and  on  May  26,  the 
Glee  Club  presented  on  oratorio  by  Mendel- 
ssohn, "The  hHymn  of  Praise."  A  public  recital 
of  piano  and  voice  students  was  also  held  in 
May.  One  of  the  highlights  of  our  social  func- 
tions was  the  moonight  skating  party  at  Troy, 
Illinois.  Another  entertainment  was  the  tea 
which  the  music  department  gave  the  first  of 
May. 

GIRLS'  SEXTETTE 

Six  interesting  personalities  blend  into  a 
group  of  lovely  voices  chosen  from  the  Glee 
Club  to  make  up  the  sextette.  This  chorus  sang 
at  Edwordsville,  Wood  River,  and  East  Alton 
on  April  II.  They  also  toured  numerous  high 
schools,  and  they  song  at  Scott  Field  one  night. 

STUDENT-FACULTY  COUNCIL 

The  Student-Faculty  council  has  served  this 
year  in  the  capacity  of  "Go-between".  Prob- 
lems of  facul+y  and  students  were  presented, 
considered,  and  acted  upon.  At  Homecoming, 
plans  for  the  occasion  were  delegated  to  com- 
petent committees  that  did  their  port  in  making 
it  a  grand  success.  A  petition  from  the  stu- 
dent body  fcr  changing  the  spring  vacation 
period  was  presented.  After  passing  the 
council,  the  administration  approved,  and  the 
new  dote  was  set. 

Members  of  the  council  were  chosen  with 
representatives  from  the  two  halls,  the  student 
body,  the  commuters,  and  those  living  in 
Lebanon.  These  met  with  selected  faculty 
members  to  discuss  problems,  needs  and  im- 
provements. The  council  is  a  means  of  demo- 
cratic thinking  and  living  on  the  campus.

ALPHA  PSI  OMEGA 

The  local  cast  of  the  honorary  dramatic 
fraternity,  Alpha  Psi  Omega,  began  the  school 
year  with  a  small  membership,  but  several 
students  became  eligible  through  the  hlome- 
coming  play,  "What  A  Life."  Three  of  these, 
Shirley  Miller,  Gehl  Devore  and  Earnest  Smith, 
were  initiated  into  the  Alpha  Theto  cast  at  an 
initiation  service  held  at  the  home  of  Mrs. 
Grace  Renner  Welch  on  February  24th.  Miss 
Marion  Conrow  and  Frances  Robinson  were  also 
inltioted  ot  the  some  time,  both  having  become 
eligible  at  an  earlier  date.  A  social  evening 
followed    this    Initiation. 

There  was  a  program  and  social  meeting  held 
at  the  home  of  Miss  Alleen  Wilson  In  April  and 
the  May  meeting  took  the  form  of  a  garden 
party   to  which   members   brought  guests. 

BETA  BETA  BETA 

Tri  Beta  Is  an  honorary  biological  fraternity, 
established  in  colleges  granting  the  Bachelor 
of  Arts  or  the  Bachelor  of  Science  degrees. 
Students  who  ore  definitely  interested  in  ad- 
vancing science  and  In  studying  the  natural  or 
biological  and  allied  sciences,  compose  its 
membership. 

The  McKendree  College  chapter  at  the  time 
of  the  printing  of  the  McKendreon,  has  just 
been  established.  Four  meetings  have  been 
held.  Two  sessions  per  month  ore  being 
planned  at  which  interesting  scientific  facts  will 
be  presented  and  discussed,  or  field  trips  taken 
to  Shaw's  Gardens  in  St.  Louis,  to  visit  the  large 
St.  Louis  hospitals,  to  see  their  equipment  and 
to  other  scientific  places. 

A  party  was  given  by  Miss  Charles,  at  which 
Dr.  E.  Spencer  was  the  guest  speaker. 


BAND 


Among  the  outstanding  social  activities  on 
the  campus,  Cannon's  band  has  a  hand.  It 
helped  to  create  on  Interest  and  did  much  to 
develop  school  spirit.  The  monthly  "pop  con- 
certs" were  entertaining  and  the  social  hours 
following  were  fun. 

Both  the  Homecoming  and  the  Spring  con- 
certs were  successful  in  their  presentations.  The 
reed  sextette  within  the  band  is  "the  something 
new  that  has  been  added."  A  great  deal  of 
new  music  was  purchased  and  forced  extra 
hours  of  practice,  but  the  practice  was  not  in 
vain,  for  all  who  heard  the  bond  appreciated 
the  talent  displayed,  and  Mr.  Cannon's  inter- 
pretations.

BASKETBALL  SQUAD 

Curtailed  by  the  war,  the  Bearcats  played 
only  seven  games  this  season.  Inexperience 
and  height  were  the  factors  that  kept  the 
Purple  and  White  from  having  a  winning  com- 
bination. The  squad  trained  hard  and  fought 
valiantly  all  season,  and  there  has  never  been  a 
team  on  the  campus  that  has  known  more 
companionship  and  mutual-dependence  than 
the  war-time   Purple  and  Whites. 


THE   KITTYCUBS 

That  hord-fightlng  bunch  of  girls  that  scrap 
on  the  hardwood  under  the  banner  of  the 
Kittycubs  have  chalked  up  another  successful 
year. 

Because  of  gas  and  tire  rationing  the  team 
was  unable  to  leave  the  campus.  The  town  girls 
afforded   many  a   moment  of  play. 

Only  one  member  of  the  varsity  will  graduate 
in  June,  so  the  '43-'44  team  should  hit  the 
hardwood  In  tip-top  shape. 


W.  A.  A. 

The  Women's  Athletic  Association  raised  its 
membership  from  eight  to  thirteen.  Initiations 
were  fun  and  the  programs  were  interesting. 
The  after  Christmas  gift  exchange  party  was 
novel,  to  soy  the  least.  We  all  enjoyed  the 
skating  party  that  W.A.A.  sponsored  at  Troy, 
and  the  "splash"  party  was  refreshing  after  the 
final  semester  exams  and  just  before  the  old 
school   bell  dismissed  activities  for  the  year.

BASKETBALL     LETTERMEN 

Archie  Porter,   Freshman, 

Rosiclare,   Forward,   First-year  letterman. 

Archie  was  short,  but  he  was  fast  and  cagey.  He  was  a  vicious 
fighter  and  had  good  scoring  ability,  hie  played  brilliant  boll  in 
the  Blackburn  game.  Archie  still  hos  plenty  of  time  to  show  the 
basketball  world  his  abilities.  He  has  3  more  years  of  basketball 
aheod  of  him. 

Captain  Lewis  Winterrowd,  Senior, 

Bible  Grove,   Center,  Third-year  letterman. 

Again  the  squad  was  led  by  Lewie.  He  set  an  excellent  example 
for  the  rest  of  the  squad  to  follow.  He  played  under  the  handicap 
of  two  bad  ankles  all  season,  but  he  never  gave  up  or  complained. 
No  matter  what  the  score  might  be,  Lewie  drove  hard  and  did 
his  best  to  win.  He  was  the  leading  scorer  and  key-man  of  the 
Bearcats.  Lewie  played  brilliantly  in  the  tournament  at  Blackburn. 
It  will  be  very  hard  to  replace  Lewie  next  year  at  the  center  position. 
Although  he  leaves,  we  know  he  will  always  be  bock  of  the  Mc- 
Kendree  team.  Lewie's  spirit,  fight  and  ability  will  live  on  in  the 
minds  of  his  teammates. 

Paul  Salmon,  Sophomore, 

Mound  City,  Guard,  First-year  letterman. 

As  a  first-year  letterman  "Jock"  played  exceptionally  good 
boll.  He  ployed  a  consistent  gome  at  guard  and  could  always  be 
counted  upon  to  bring  the  boll  across  the  line.  "Jock"  played  his 
best  game  against  Centralia  Junior  College.  He  has  two  more 
years  with  the  cagers  and  should  be  an  essential  man  in  building 
the  future  teams. 

Don  Harmon,  Junior, 

Louisville,  Guard,   First-year  letterman. 

Don  was  one  of  the  most  dependable  men  on  the  Bearcats.  He 
always  played  a  cool,  steady  gome  and  he  always  deposited  his 
share  of  points  and  played  good  defensive  boll  of  all  times.  He 
will  be  back  next  year  and  should  be  the  nucleus  around  which  the 
team  can  be  built. 

Fletcher  Burge,  Freshman, 

Eldorado,   Forword,   First-year  letterman. 

Fletch  was  one  of  the  high  scorers  of  the  "Cats."  He  was 
consistent  in  his  ploy,  both  on  offense  and  defense.  He  was  on 
artist  on  one-hand  shots.  He  was  even-tempered  and  always  took 
things  in  stride.  He  still  has  three  years  and  will  undoubtedly 
prove  himself  a  valuable  asset  to  the  McKendree  cagers  in  years 
to  come. 

Arthur  hiinson.  Junior, 

Madison,  Guard,   First-year  letterman 

"Stinky"  was  short,  but  fast  and  aggressive.  He  played  to 
win  and  gave  the  game  all  he  hod.  He  started'  off  as  manager  and 
then  turned  in  tiis  first-aid  kit  for  a  suit.  He  sow  quite  a  bit  of 
action,  and  proved  himself  on  essential  port  of  the  team.  He  was 
always  In  good  physical  condition  and  ready  to  go.  He  still  has 
another  year  and   should   go   places   In   basketball. 

James  Loy,  Senior, 

Effingham,   Guard,    First-year  letterman. 

Jim  was  a  key  man  In  the  "Cots"  defense.  He  was  always 
alert  and  fighting.  He  played  to  win  and  always  gave  all  he  hod. 
He  played  exceptionally  well  in  the  tournament  at  Blackburn  in 
February.  He  will  be  sadly  missed  by  his  teammates  when  the 
season  rolls  around   next  year.

INTRAMURAL 
BASKETBALL 


Two  intramural  basketball  tournaments 
have  been  held  this  year.  The  first  was  won 
by  Don  Harmon's  team.  In  the  second 
tournament,    Surge's    and    Myres'    teams   are 

tied  for  the  lead. 

Intramurals  this  year  have  brought  good 
spirit  to  the  campus,  many  fellows  played 
basketball  in  the  tournameni-  that  never 
played  before.  Intramurals  are  valuable  in 
many  ways  and  should  continue  on  the 
campus  in  years  to  come. 

As  part  of  the  Homecoming  program,  the 
traditional  rivalry  between  the  literary  so- 
cieties was  meted  out  in  the  form  of  a 
basketbal  game.  Plato  defeated  their  arch- 
rivals,  Philo,  in  the  game  played  on  Novem- 
ber 14,  1942,  the  score  being  50-33.  Plato 
jumped  into  on  early  lead  and  was  never 
threatened  by  Philo.  Myres  was  the  big  gun 
for  Philo  with  16  points.  Salmon,  Winter- 
rowd,  and  Keck  each  collected  12  points  for 
Plato.  Plato's  basketball  team  had  every- 
thing including  a  water-girl  in  the  form  of 
"Bugs"    Bergman.

WHAT     A     LIFE 

"Enter  to  learn — Go  forth  to  serve"  is  more  or  less  the  appropriate  motto  which  is 
placed  over  the  door  of  the  principal's  office  where  the  scenes  in  our  hiomecoming  play, 
"What  A  Life",  take  place.  Of  course  our  hero,  hHenry  Aldrich,  tries  to  set  a  shining 
example  for  his  classmates!  The  example  which  he  actually  succeeds  in  setting,  results  in 
numerous  bench-warmings  In  Mr.  Bradley's  office.  Because  of  Barbara  Pearson,  Hlenry  has 
a  misunderstanding  with  his  history  teacher.  Finally,  heart-rending  problems  are  solved,  but 
not  until  his  escapades  have  led  to  such  complications  that  the  audience  has  hod  many 
good  laughs.  The  cost  was  well-chosen,  and  we  agree  that  this  play  truly  deserves  its 
title,  "What  A  Life."

NO     ROOM     IN     THE     HOTEL 

This  modern  Christmas  play  is  full  of  humor,  yet  it  carries  with  it  an  undercurrent  of 
pathos  and  inspiration.  It  portrays  a  hard-boiled  newspaper  reporter  as  the  only  one  of  a 
varied  gathering  in  o  small  hotel  whose  character  is  changed  by  the  appearance  of  a  poor 
couple  strangely  similar  to  another  pair  who  were  once  refused  admittance  to  an  inn 
many  centuries  ago.

CHALLENGE     OF     THE     CROSS 

At  the  beginning  of  the  school  year,  college  members  of  the  young  Peoples'  League 
at  the  Methodist  Church  presented  an  interesting  pageant  entitled,  "The  Challenge  of 
the  Cross". 

The  message  of  this  ploy  is:  "If  any  man  would  come  after  me,  let  him  deny  him- 
self and   take   up   his   cross   daily,   and   follow    me."   Luke  9:23.

SPRING     PLAYS 

Because  of  war-time  pressure  on  McKendree  campus  no  Spring  ploy  was  given,  but 
at  the  time  the  Annual  went  to  press,  a  group  of  one-act  ploys  sponsored  by  Little 
Theatre  were  being   prepared.      Costs  were   not  yet  selected.

Hi 


ECOMIING 
U 


Miss  Shirley  Bergman,  a  quiet  dignified  Freshman,  has 
captivated  many  a  heart  on  this  Old  hiill,  and  she  reigns 
supreme    as   our    Homecoming    Queen    of    October,     1942. 

Her  popularity  was  proved  by  the  fact  that  her 
election,  which  was  sponsored  by  the  "M"  Club,  was  the 
result  of  popular  vote. 

As  Dr.  Yost  presented  the  bouquet  of  roses  to  our 
lovely  Queen  at  the  informal  ceremony  in  Eisenmier,  he 
paid  a  worthy  compliment  to  the  Queens  of  both  this 
yeor  and  last  v/hen  he  said: 

"Lost  year  our  Queen  had  hair  radiant  as  if  distilled 
of  a  thousand  sunsets.  This  year  our  Queen  has  beauty 
with  the  darker  shades  like  a  painting  from  the  Old  Dutch 
Masters,  and  a  voice  lovely  as  the  sound  of  many  waters 
— our  Minne-ha-ha,  Shirley  Bergman."

SENIOR  CLASS  HIISTOiR.Y

THE     FIGHTING     FORTY     THIRD! 

So  a  buck  sergeant  wearing  a  moldy  old  Bearcat  T-shirt  says  to  his  almost  constant 
companion,  a  Model-T  corporal  who  has  a  crooked  nose  from  the  Shurtleff  gome  in  1941,  "I 
wonder  what  the  gang  is  doing  at  the  Coke  'N'  Smoke  about  now!"  They  ore  lying  in  a  muddy 
fox  hole  on  Guadoconol,  but  they  might  just  as  well  be  crawling  on  their  bellies  in  Lake  Beautiful 
— certainly    the    mosquitoes,    couldn't   be    any   worse! 

You  see,  these  boys  ore  McKendreons  too,  but  they  don't  have  to  worry  about  taking  more 
than  their  quota  of  chapel  cuts  nor  getting  up  for  those  miserable  7:40's — we  have  a  guy  with  a 
brass   horn   who   takes   core    of   getting    the   boys   u  p  on   time. 

For  every  degree  that  is  handed  out  when  our  class  marches  into  the  Chapel  for  the  last 
time,  there  is  at  least  another  member  of  that  rough  and  tough  "fightin'  forty-third"  out  there  some- 
where— maybe  flying  a  PBY  on  coastal  patrol,  maybe  jeeping  along  the  African  desert,  maybe 
holding  hands  with  some  WAAC  in  the  service  club.  His  job  is  not  confined  to  such  tasks  as 
raking  leaves,  sweeping  out  the  halls  over  in  Old  Main,  or  washing  up  the  pots  and  pons  in 
MeKendree's  "mess  hall" — there's  no  Clifford  Cotes  to  spur  him  on  to  the  higher  things  in  life  nor 
a  Liza  Jane  to  haggle  with  over  time  sheets. 

His  job  is  far  from  completion;  he's  counting  on  our  V-7  and  ERC  boys  to  carry  on  with 
the  work  he  has  already  started.  How  con  you  beat  a  bunch  of  guys  who  used  to  sing  "My 
Gal  Sol"  out  on  the  football  field  when  the  going  got  a  little  rough?  The  same  spirit  that  mode 
our  McK'ers  stand  up  on  their  hind  legs  and  bellow  for  their  rights  although  miserably  outclassed 
and    out   numbered    is   now  at  work  for   Uncle   Sam.      How  can  we  lose? 

This  class  of  '43  might  well  be  termed  the  "War  Class."  Less  than  a  week  after  Hitler's 
goose-stepping  divisions  marched  unexpectedly  into  Poland,  this  class  was  going  through  the  tedious 
ordeal  of  registering  for  its  first  semester  in  college.  Yes,  it's  been  almost  four  years.  We  saw 
the  Finns  and  the  Russians  fight,  we  stood  by  as  Japan  plundered  and  raped  innocent  China,  we 
learned  of  the  treachery  of  the  fifth  column  in  Norway,  we  saw  the  blitzkreig  overwhelm  bewildered 
France,  we  sweated  through  Dunkirk,  we  withstood  the  terrific  pounding  of  the  Luftwaffe  on  the  tight 
little  island,  our  blood  boiled  at  Coventry  and  later  at  Lidice,  we  welcomed  the  occupation  of 
Iceland,  and  we  started  buying  defense  stamps.  With  o  personal  interest  we  experienced  the  first 
peace-time  draft  in  the  history  of  our  country,  we  argued  pro  and  con  on  lend-lease,  we  approved 
Pan-Americanism,  we  voted  for  Wendell  Wilkie  and  elected  Roosevelt  for  a  third  term,  we 
watched  Hitler  knife  Joe  Stalin  in  the  back  only  to  become  mired  down  in  Napoleon's  foot- 
steps— we  cussed  and  raved  and  ranted  over  Japanese  treachery  and  the  ruthless  ossult  on  Pearl 
Harbor.  Even  Dean  Stowell  dismissed  his  class  to  listen  to  the  Congress  declare  war.  You  all 
know  the  rest  of  the  story.

Not  so  long  ago  these  things  were  rather  far  away  from  us:  other  things  were  of  more 
Importance.  If,  however,  we  were  to  approach  our  sergeant  in  the  Guadaconal  fox  hole,  he  could 
tell  us  far  more  about  Herb  Gould's  stall  system  of  basketball  thon  he  could  about  the  weaknesses 
of  the  Maglnot  Line.  Do  you  think  those  guys  bull  about  the  Italian  navy,  or  do  they  talk  about  the 
good  old  days  back  on  the  hiill  when  broads  were  broads  and  men  were  not  4-F?  So  before  we 
forget  about  this  forty-third  let's  go  back  to  do  a  little  reminiscing — because  after  all,  isn't  one 
of   the   four   freedoms   the    right   to    hold    bull    sessions  whenever  one  pleases. 

Do  you  remember  that  siege  of  registration  we  went  through — tests,  orientation,  inter- 
views, the  Y-mixer,  the  President's  reception,  and  the  free  show,  down  at  the  Alamo — "Good  Bye, 
Mr.  Chips,"  If  we  recall  correctly.  It  was  all  so  confusing,  but  we  didn't  mind.  We  were  new 
at  this  game,  and  eoger  to  learn.  And  do  you  remember  our  election  of  bashful  Jungle  Jim  Agles 
as  our  president  and  how  they'd  always  kidnap  him  when  we  were  going  to  have  a  meeting?  And 
what  about  that  miserably  rainy  Monday  night  we  gathered  in  that  tiny  garage  right  off  Lebanon's 
great  white  way  and  went  out  to  the  overhead  to  hold  what  was  conceded  to  be  the  least  success- 
ful Freshman  party  in  the  history  of  the  school?  We'll  never  forget  how  Worry  Wart  Ashby,  our 
custodian  of  the  Bear,  got  three  rides  that  night  because  he  beat  the  upperclassmen  back  to  school 
every  time  they  took  him  out.  And  do  you  remember  Ray  Brouer,  our  ex-bartender,  Johnnie  Rawlin- 
son.  Mace  Petty,  Big  Don  Mohan,  Moggie  hHursey,  "that  pleasing  personality,"  and  all  the  rest  of  our 
colorful  greenies.  htow  proud  we  were  of  those  green  cops  we  paid  o  buck  for,  and  we  tipped  them 
too,  more  diligently  than  has  any  class  that  has  followed  us.  And  soy,  what  about  that  Chapel  pro- 
gram we  presented  starring  "Wang  de  Gong"  Griffin  and  "Meece"  (half  moose — half  mouse)  Tim- 
mons,  Timmons  and  Braeutlgam  and  the  motorcycles  they  later  traded  for  Gl  aircraft,  the  winter 
it  got  so  cold  we  had  to  wear  pajamos  under  our  slacks,  and  the  death  of  the  social  fraternities? 
And  didn't  we  hold  the  first  celebration  of  Sadie  HIawkins  Week?  Of  course,  things  we  will  not  soon 
forget  were  Al  Johnpeter  and  his  Mudcats,  the  Bearcat  Special  Bus,  the  first  celebration  of  the 
Happy  Founders'  Day,  our  siege  of  rots,  and  not  two-legged  ones  either,  the  way  Helen  Mitchell 
used  to  faint  In  class  and  how  we'd  cover  her  up  and  just  go  on  as  though  nothing  had  happened 
— the  thrill  of  living  beneath  the  canopy  of  green  that  first  spring  of  ours  on  the  beautiful  Mc- 
Kendree  campus.  We  were  a  fresh  bunch,  but  McKendree  soon  felt  our  presence — without  Cor- 
zine,  Griffin,  Hortin,  the  Timmons  boys.  Petty,  Hartman,  Braeutigom,  and  the  rest  of  our  athletes 
the  Review's  sports  page  might  just  as  well  hove  been  edged  In  black;  we  won  the  Dorris  Oratori- 
cal contest  that  first  year;  and  we  soon  took  over  positions  of  leodership  in  all  of  the  organizations 
and  activities.

And  then  came  our  second  year  with  Paul  Griffin  as  our  president.  We  recall  the  way 
"My  Gal  Sol"  helped  us  lick  Mission  House  end  LaSolle-Peru  and  how  Sol  became  the  sweet- 
heart of  the  campus,  the  hayride  our  class  sponsored,  how  Prof.  Hardy  and  the  boys  used  to  go 
out  for  on  afternoon  of  Nub  Nub,  the  game  in  which  Don  Hortmon  lost  fourteen  pounds  and  still 
weighed  more  than  two-hundred,  the  new  McKendree  Bookstore  now  carrying  the  largest  stock  in 
history,  those  Mondoy  mornings  after  glee  club  trips,  the  night  Oakland  City  scored  I  I  I  points 
ogainst  the  "hungry  five,"  the  Bowler-Bowler-Bowier  romance,  Philo,  Plato,  and  Clio's  invasion  of 
Hotel  Melbourne  in  St.  Louis  for  a  formal  banquet,  Louis  Winterrowd's  great  struggle  to  put  on 
weight,  those  dormitory  hair-cuts  we  used  to  get  for  fifteen  cents  with  a  worn-out  shirt  thrown  in, 
and  the   many  other  things  that  make  college  life   so  interesting. 

With  Griffin  once  again  at  the  helm  we  literally  took  over  the  campus  our  Junior  year — 
the  Seniors  were  too  busy  planting  trees  and  picking  out  graduation  announcements.  More  of  the 
members  of  our  class  were  literary  society  members  than  was  true  of  any  of  the  other  classes  in 
school  and  we  held  important  positions  in  these  organizations,  too.  We  hod  several  fingers,  and 
in  some  cases  even  a  thumb,  in  every  pie  that  formed  the  McKendree  activity  picture.  We 
weren't  too  busy  leading  the  glee  clubs  and  quartettes,  captaining  the  basketball  team,  editing  the 
Review,  compiling  the  annual,  serving  on  the  Focuolty-Student  council,  and  doing  the  million  and 
one  things  that  send  one's  grades  to  the  depths — we  weren't  too  busy  to  hove  fun.  Do  you  remem- 
ber how  we  used  to  get  a  gong  up  and  go  downtown  for  a  PC,  and  how  we  used  to  cut  Religion 
on  Wednesday  mornings  so  we  could  listen  to  the  new  selections,  on  the  "vie"  down  at  the  grill, 
that  night  Philo  served  cider  and  vitamin  pills  for  open  session?  Thot  was  the  year  Salmon's 
Freshmen  pulled  a  fast  one  by  holding  their  party  in  the  middle  of  the  night.  It  was  our  lost 
season  of  football — we  had  sixteen  on  the  team  and  that  included  the  coach,  Mrs.  Scholl,  the 
woter-boy,  and  Frank  Harris.  The  team  was  kicked  around  all  yeor  but  did  plenty  of  kicking  in 
return.  And  what  about  that  Screwy  Whiskey  Shoots  lingo.  Gay  and  Debbon  forced  Into  the 
McKendrean's  venacular.  After  December  7th  we  found  McKendreons  one-by-one  dropping  out  of 
school  or  enlisting,  in  various  reserve  corps.  The  Forty-third  answered  with  Timmons,  Record,  and 
Broeutlgam  to  the  Naval  Air  Corps,  Myres  and  Curtis  to  the  Army  Air  Force,  and  Hortin,  Hartmon, 
Loy  and  Agles  to  the  Naval  Reserve.  In  addition,  we  already  hod  men  serving  from  Australia  to 
Cairo,  from  Icelond  to  Shongrl-Lo. 

Even  by  stretching  our  imagination,  this  past  year  could  hardly  be  compared  with  Custer's 
lost  stand,  but  things  hove  been  different  what  v/ith  V-moil,  rotioning — and  no  Tepatti.  We  mode 
it  through,  however,  and  with  the  proverbial  flying  colors,  too.  Paul  Baker  and  Cyril  Curtis  were 
elected  as  presidents  of  the  McKendree  Association.  Our  class  officers  were  Jim  Agles,  Presi- 
dent; Ross  Hortin,  Vice-President;  Frankie  Robinson,  Secretory-Treasurer;  with  Jim  Loy,  a  third- 
termer  capably  filling  the  post  of  Sergeont-at-orms.  Ethel  Dewhirst  was  our  lovely  Queen  of  the 
May.  Our  Homecoming  was  still  a  gay  affair  and  the  Forty-third  led  the  way  In  the  fashion 
parade  the  day  before.

REGARD 


Our  little  bull  session  has  been  sketchy  to  soy  the  least.  We  might  toss  orchids  to  Curtis  and 
Chadwell  on  their  scholarship,  to  LaVerne  for  her  sincerity,  to  Winterrowd  for  his  basketball 
record,  to  Fronkie  for  her  spirit,  to  Griffin  for  being  an  all-around  good  guy,  to  Myres  for  his  nose 
— but    this    could    go    on    indefinitely.      We    lost    ogood  friend  ond  another  "good  guy"  In  Dr.  Dolley. 

Of  course,  we  weren't  always  a  bunch  of  angels.  hHow  about  that  fight  we  had  In  the  Chapel 
when  footlights  were  popping  like  a  machine  gun,  or  that  sign  we  out  up  on  the  girls'  dorm  that 
night,  or  the  time  spontoneous  combustion  burst  forth  in  the  Review  office,  those  victory  hair-cuts 
the  Freshmen  asked  us  to  give  them,  the  night  the  football  team  was  locked  out  of  the  dining  hall, 
the  formation  of  the  ITK's — the  Intelligence,  Temperance,  the  Kindness  boys,  or  the  time  Coach 
Gould  ordered  us  to  get  the  referee  on  the  next  play,  or  the  way  we  used  to  steal  over  to  classes 
after  cutting  a  7:40  or  8:35  for  fear  we  would  meet  the  teacher  face  to  face,  or  the  ofternons  we 
used  to  hitch  over  to  St.  Louis  to  visit  the  legitmate  theatre,  or  all  those  songs  we  used  to  sing 
on  football  trips,  how  we  used  to  go  out  for  those  early  morning  swims  out  at  the  Country  Club, 
or  the  night  we  serenaded  the  girls  from  atop  the  dining  hall,  the  day  Braeutlgam  dive-bombed 
the  Chapel,  our  first  good-night  kiss  beneath  those  bright  lights  over  at  Clark  Hall,  and  all  the 
time  we  were  yelling  for  a  dim-out,  and  those  many  dates  that  were  kept  over  at  the  library  and 
not  downtown  or  out  beneath  the  moon  because  of  study  hours.  Undoubtedly,  we  put  our  shore 
of  grey  hairs  in   Dr.  Yost's  head! 

The  Fighting  Forty-third  has  been  a  great  class — few  could  boast  of  having  so  many  mem- 
bers carrying  on  extra-curricular  activities  in  so  many  parts  of  the  world.  She  has  been  important  to 
McKendree  because  she  is  McKendree  herself — a  group  of  hearty  youngsters  fighting  on  against 
tremendous  odds,  fighting  for  their  very  existence,  but  ever  confident  of  the  victory  in  sight — and 
always  cheered  on  by  their  "Comrades  in  Arms."

A   GAY   SPRING   DAY 

FOR  OUR  QUEEN  OF  THE  MAY 

We  hove  but  to  recall  "Dewey's"  smile  and 
cheerful  words,  and  we  hove  found  an  appropriate 
embodiment  for   this  verse. 

True   worth    is    in    being,    not    seeming, — 
In  doing,  each  day  that  goes  by. 

Some  little  good — not  in  dreaming 
Of  great  things  to  do  by  and  by. 

— Alice  Corey. 

Our  Queen  was  elected  from  the  Senior  class  of 
1943  to  reign  as  royalty  at  the  annual  May  Day 
celebration.   May   14. 

In  the  morning  the  Seniors  presented  a  program 
in  the  Chape!,  representative  of  the  talent  and 
ability  of  their  group.  Following  the  Class  Day 
program  they  were  accorded  the  usual  Senior 
privilege  of  a  "free  day". 

Early  in  the  afternoon,  the  student  body  as- 
sembled on  the  campus  for  the  Senior  Tree  dedica- 
tion and  the  presentation  of  the  Senior  gift. 

Later  in  the  afternoon,  the  Queen,  Ethel 
Dewhirst,  together  with  her  train,  wended  her  way 
to  the  throne  on  the  front  campus  where  the  Queen 
was  crowned  by  her  Maid  of  Honor,  Frances 
Robinson. 

Then  followed  special  entertainment  for  the 
Queen  and  her  following,  together  with  the  assem- 
bled spectators.  This  consisted  of  the  traditional 
winding  of  the  Maypole,  and  morris  dances  by 
girls  of  the  various  classes.  A  one-act  play,  a 
fontosy,  by  Rachel  Field  entitled  "The  Londonderry 
Air,"  was  then  enacted  by  a  cost  of  four  students. 

At  six  o'clock  the  faculty  and  students  attended 
the   Senior  dinner   in   Pearson's   Hall. 

May  Day  on  McKendree's  campus  is  a  day  for 
remembrance.

WHO'S  WHO 


Who's  Who  Among  Students  In  American  Universities, 
and  Colleges,  is  a  publication  sponsored  by  six  hundred 
colleges  and  universities  to  give  national  recognition  to 
graduates  of  unusual  potentialities  for  leadership. 


LaVERNE  BOOK 

LaVerne's  unflinching  adherence  to  the  highest  Ideals  of 
Christianity  is  the  quality  which  above  all,  gives  her  a 
place  of  leadership  at  McKendree.  in  a  day  when  moral 
standards    are    often   shifty,    she   has   remained    steadfast. 


PAUL  M.  GRIFFIN 

When,  lost  year,  "Wang"  was  hurt  In  an  explosion  in 
the  Chemistry  lab,  then  did  we  realize  how  much  he  is 
loved  by  everyone.  We  tried  to  take  stock  on  his  value, 
and  we  decided  that  above  good  scholarship,  and  above 
good  sportsmanship,  the  fact  that  each  of  us  felt  him  to 
be  our  special  friend  meant  that  he  is  about  as  companion- 
able as  a  person  can  be. 


PAUL    BAKER 

During  the  two  years  that  Paul  has  been  among  us  he 
has  assumed  a  very  natural  position  of  influence,  because 
he  was  more  widely  read  and  more  experienced  than  many 
students  who  are  just  out  of  high  school.  Any  campus 
would  be  lucky  to  have  such  a  man  as  Paul,  and  his  record 
on  McKendree  campus  gives  evidence  that  we  know  his 
worth. 


CYRIL  CURTIS 

Cyril  Curtis  was  on  almost  letter  perfect  student  who 
literally  did  everything  right,  and  that,  in  anybody's  esti- 
mation, might  have  made  him  into  a  bore,  but  instead,  it 
makes  him  Into  one  of  the  finest  fellows  who  has  ever  gone 
to  school  on  our  Old  Hill.  Now  he  Is  working  for  Uncle 
Sam,  and  we  know  that  McKendree  can  send  no  finer  man 
to  the  army. 

CHARLES  CHADWELL 

McKendree  expects  big  things  of  "Chad,"  for  here  on 
the  campus,  he  has  proved  that  brains  and  leadership  go 
hand  in  hand.  His  formula  seems  to  be  to  tackle  big  jobs 
that  demand  all  sorts  of  Initiative,  and  then  admit  of  no 
fizzle,  but  simply  make  a  success.
